Chapter 1275: Chapter 691: Ear-grabbing Advice_3
Although Gaven already has the Conqueror Caravan, its label and attributes are too conspicuous, making it unsuitable for operations in certain sensitive areas. Having a business partner like Mother Gao Ser, who maintains a certain distance from him, is the perfect choice.
After sorting out his thoughts briefly, Gaven continued: “Defense is rely a passive approach. Strengthening one’s research capabilities and ensuring one’s products always stay ahead of others—that is the path of a true ruler.”
“As for Mage Haransen, he must be firmly held within our grasp. See if there’s potential to further improve the luminous water channels, perhaps even transforming them from re illumination to energy storage.”
If luminous water could be transford into energy storage water, its value would skyrocket exponentially, propelling the entire Felen toward the steps of modern technological civilization in one major thrust forward.
On this note, we enter the professional realm of Mother Gao Ser, who confidently remarked: “Soone like Mage Haransen is best controlled. He is the type that enjoys locking himself away for research. If we provide him sufficient financial, material, and superior research environnts, he will dive into work and lose sight of everything else.”
“Another key aspect is to pay attention to the subsidiary industries arising from this process—for instance, the construction advantages brought by the biological cent produced from Boom Boom Arowana Shrimp shells. This could include the edible value of Boom Boom Arowana Shrimp and electric eels, or the possibility of cultivating Styrak Bush, which is needed in this process, independently. This initiative can integrate with my ongoing aquaculture and fish feed production plan in Tun Marsh.”
The Conqueror Caravan is currently purchasing Styrak Bush on a large scale within the Koer Kingdom while promoting its cultivation and farming. When the ti cos, cooperate with Ms. Grace and see if specialized feed for Boom Boom Arowana Shrimp and electric eels can be developed. Since Boom Boom Arowana Shrimp were introduced from Wyvern Lake, their numbers must be abundant there, and it’s certain we can collect a large amount of shrimp shells from there. I will have the Conqueror Caravan push this plan forward, while you focus only on the manufacturing of glass-water lamps.”
The biological cent made from Boom Boom Arowana Shrimp shells falls into the infrastructure category. Gaven himself will be its biggest consur, so relying on others for its developnt is not an option. Instead, he will directly organize a research team. Interestingly, the best candidates for this project aren’t Mages but Druids, as their expertise lies in biology.
For now, setting other matters aside, the shrimp raised specifically for shell production wouldn’t follow the typical small shrimp model. Instead, through spells on mutant animals, a form of Demon Cultivation would be employed to nurture larger species. Gaven believed that a shrimp as big as a water buffalo would undoubtedly outperform a regular half-channel-sized Boom Boom Arowana Shrimp in production while simplifying feeding and managent.
As for artificially increasing their shell production frequency and further enhancing shell quality—those considerations would co later.
As always, this is a world filled with magic. In everything we do, the first priority is to exploit the potential of magic to its utmost. Even if Felen seeks to traverse a modern technological path, it mustn’t simply replicate Earth but use it as a reference point for inspiration. Magical modern technological advances are the true developntal trajectory for this world.
“General, you truly stay ahead of everyone at every turn—it’s almost impossible for us not to make a profit,” Ms. Gao Ser nodded repeatedly, practically ready to whip out a notebook for taking notes. “Are there any other considerations?”
“For now, that’s all. As is customary, Ms., prepare a detailed project plan when you have the ti, and we can discuss further,” Gaven replied, guiding Ms. Gao Ser downward. “We’ve arrived at our destination.”
Under the faint moonlight, Ms. Gao Ser surveyed the surrounding area. Without realizing it, they had entered hilly terrain. In the distance was a towering mountain range, resembling a beast crouching in the darkness—it was likely the northern Stormhorn Mountains. Beyond this range lay the Rocklands.
Not far ahead was an estate fortress, markedly different from typical estate fortresses. Instead of standing atop the surrounding hilltops, this fortress was located at the base, with the nearby hills hollowed out and integrated as part of the estate. Its architectural style lacked the intricate, refined noble aesthetic typical of humans, opting instead for a bold, rugged, dwarven approach.
Before Gaven and the others could fully land, the estate fortress responded. Beams of light swept over them as rough voices bellowed from the fortress: “Who are you? Do not co closer. Identify yourselves, or face our attacks.”
“I am Gaven Nort from Susar. I had corresponded with your leader, Giharin, the clan leader of True Shield Trading Company, and arranged to visit recently. Here are his handwritten letter and token,” Gaven responded loudly.
Unlike the sudden arrival at Nimiel Village, this visit had been carefully planned and communicated in advance. The identity of the host here was vastly different from that of Nimiel Village’s residents.
“Gaven Nort the Conqueror? The creator of Blackwell in the Rockland Gnoll territory?” ca another query from within the fortress.
“Yes, that’s ,” Gaven replied.
“Please wait a mont, sir. I’ll notify the Clan Leader imdiately,” the fortress’ rough voice promptly softened and grew respectful, clearly indicating that Gaven’s reputation had already preceded him here. After all, this location was near Rocklands, heavily influenced by the Conqueror Army.
“Giharin?” Even the night couldn’t conceal the changes in Ms. Gao Ser’s expression as she repeated the na in surprise. “Is it that Giharin, of the Iron Clan?”
Gaven nodded and admitted frankly, “That Giharin indeed. Have you heard of matters regarding the Iron Clan, Ms.?”
