Electus - Chapter 499

Ignis, like any other continent has its own affairs, deals and other complexions. The hero is in the middle of the continent right now, handling the grand task, but we can’t ignore what the triangle of domains are doing.

The business points of view deserve further explanations, as gold itself doesn’t fall from the sky and the hundreds of people have to work if they wish to fall asleep with a full stomach.

Living in the triangle of domains has never been easier, people are happier and even have savings now but the Kingdoms are far from reaching their full potential.

To break down the business talk, we shall decipher what the wealthiest Kingdom in this triangle was undergoing, Pameres.

As a start, a business deal has met an end in the beginning of may. Generally, it’s alarming when deals end because it can cause a gap in profit.

But this time once more, the deal was renewed, made easier and more profitable.

The continent of Kutulat, which historically held a mix of both Zamerians and Molarians, has made a new order.

Both sides are well aware when the deals end so them being on time to renew the deal isn’t really a surprise.

As King Zar expected, Kutulat ordered a new ray of weaponry, swords to be more exact.

Normal in size and Iron by nature, the letter directly stated how Ignis is gaining a name for selling cheap yet decent weaponry.

It’s perfect that Kutulat has found a cheap source of weaponry as what they are going through demands to be grand economists with their budget.

Kutulat was trying to conquer and purify a portion of islands near them, which are known to be swarmed with demons.

The c.u.mulative size of which the islands carry is a bit of a blur to understand but it’s still worth putting up a battle for since it requires no conflict between humans.

It was different to fight beings that can think and it’s different to fight off mindless demons, the species on these islands had claws which labelled them mindless.

However, getting into the specifics, the continent of Kutulat had ordered a nice and in other ways more profitable deal.

1,000 swords a month, that’s the order Pameres Kingdom had to fill in order to meet the ray of demands the demon battling continent was going through.

In war it’s easy to run out of weaponry, battle demands sacrifices apart from flesh and bone.

This order would bring a total of 70,000 gold coins a month considering that each sword was sold for 70 gold coins.

Pameres Kingdom will earn 63,000 out of it while Gaster Kingdom will take 7,000 as a payment for usage of report, that’s what the first ever deal demands.

Gaster Kingdom has to earn 10% of the Income out of any deal, if the port is used throughout the transaction.

This deal will last until January 1, in the year 203 so we can’t ignore how a good profit this deal can bring.

Might not be the biggest earning deal but it’s better than having 1 of the 3 teams of blacksmiths not work on anything.

…

Gold, it’s the light in many people’s eyes. But it somehow tastes sweeter when it’s obtained from a  friendly route, right now when profit is the main key to peace.

A donation of 300,000 gold coins has been sent to the triangle of domains, and the sender is who these people never expected.

It comes from the hidden domain, same tribe of Ignites who sent the entire continent into a military shortage and set Maleemia into a blaze, destroying it.

The 300,000 gold coins will be evenly split and sent out to Gaster Kingdom and Bale town, Zar doesn’t want to eat up anyone’s gold so he made sure everyone gets their fair share.

Opening the letter attached to this huge donation, kept safe by the same group who brought the gold all the way through the continent, a series of paragraphs captivated Zar’s view.

“Eric, or whomever recieved this letter. I’m Mollara from the hidden domain, where Maleemia used to stand.

We had quite a few adventures in the past so I hope you didn’t forget us. We have made a deal with Xakro ill.u.s.tratio lll, he begged us for this expensive ore and is paying us a lot of gold, the whole deal will make us 17.5 million gold coins.

Rest assured that we didn’t betray you, Xakro’s forces don’t dare to take a step without me knowing about it, but this type of deal couldn’t have been ignored.

In past letters I remember Osira telling us how there is a move that can compress the ill.u.s.tratian domains, this is the main reason we sent you the gold, use it wisely please.

With Osira in mind, I want you to know Eric, her mother is missing. We were exploring the mines here and walked into a portal, Bittore was forced to go into a portal.

We haven’t heard a word from her since but Osira deserves to know the truth, her mother is good as gone, dead somewhere in the demonic realm.

We wish to have Osira here since she was a leader before, I’m not cut out for this so we hope to have the heir to the throne here.

As for this gold, your friends don’t have to return any of it, we have more than enough to go around.

Throughout the entire 17.5 million gold coin deal, we will send 300,000 to you each month, let the ill.u.s.tratios choke on their own gold.”

As he read through the message, the only thing King Zar could utter was. “Interesting.”

Afterwards Seer complimented the idea, “This is just perfect timing, I’m almost believing it’s a godly gift at this point.”

Rubbing his beardless chin, Zar shook his head away from confusion and expressed. “Maybe it is? I’m not sure, but this tribe knows how to rule with an Iron fist, it’s something else to control my father.”

“Let them rule whomever they want, we need this gold, now it at least sounds logical to hire 500 soldiers.” Seer expressed, his thoughts not exceeding anything else but Pameres Kingdom. “When will we send them to the outpost?”

His mind raging through the prime idea once soldiers were mentioned, Zar cited. “The outpost can’t fit them, right now we need them here for… well let’s just say we will need them soon enough.”

Sensing uncertainty between the King’s words, Seer pointed it out with a question. “You aren’t sidekick right? You can’t predict it if someone attacks us in the future? You being sidekick would be the only thing that makes sense, because where else would you take 500 extra soldiers?”

“You think it’s a bad idea to give this Kingdom extra protection?” Zar teased, slightly shifting away from the prime topic.

Used to statistics, Seer got into details. “We already had extra protection when you hired those 100 archers, I have to say that was a good idea, they are perfect for the job when it comes to carefulness. But we also have 200 other patrol guards and 110 other ranged attackers as well, the city was already safe.”

Wanting to end the topic, the King expressed. “Well good point, but it will be even safer soon enough.”

As for where did the King find 500 people to hire, there were already a few hundred unemployed people and Zar requested yet another batch of 500 Zamerians from Lav Kingdom.

At this point he might be over doing the requests but the Zamerians aren’t complaining about it as it’s solving an overpopulation issue there and fixing the underpopulation issue here.

Pameres Kingdom holds 4,200 people now, and 2,700 of them are employed, so Zar is fairly using the population to its utmost advantage.

300 able bodied people are still unemployed but we can’t say that they are living a bad life, since a lot of families have more than one source of income in their house.

Removing the gender restrictions was the best move so far, such profit allows the 1,200 elderly and children this domain carries, to live a happier stable life.

There were 100 available houses to fit all the people in but in another way it means that those empty houses can now be taxed.

Which increased the Income gotten from the monthly house taxes, reaching a c.u.mulative earning of 80,000 gold coins.

Another piece of work that requires recognition are the newly developing farms here in Pameres Kingdom, the talk isn’t about gr.a.p.es but wheat.

The wheat farms began being built soon as snow began to melt, perhaps over done work-wise but the King wanted the 40 hectares of land to be ready for planting before the planting season here began.

The fields are good and ready, have been planted even and it’s yield will be made transparent by the end of september.

Seer predicted a total of 80 tons, that’s how much wheat these 40 hectares can carry.

Such a yield can’t feed these 4,200 people year around but it will most definitely help cut on expenses, meat isn’t a cheap food yet too common in Pameres Kingdom already.
