C3684 Nine
Celestial Commander of Diamond was seven feet tall and extremely thin. He was tall and wore a pure gold mask and a black robe.
Meng Fan cupped his hands and bowed.
At this moment, everyone in the hall felt a strong sense of oppression. They felt as if they were compressed into tiny particles that no longer existed. In the entire hall, only Celestial Commander of Diamond and Meng Fan were left.
The instant the two Celestial King of Ten Tribulations met eyes with each other, the imposing manner produced was too strong, and it was difficult to resist.
A dozen envoys delivered the gifts from the Diamond Empire into the hands of the bureaucrats behind Meng Fan.
These gifts were not considered expensive, but they were all specialty of the Diamond Empire. The most eye-catching one was the egg of a auspicious beast. The egg was nurturing and would hatch at any time.
In fact, as early as two years ago, the Diamond Empire sent out a caravan, but the scale was very small and the goods they brought were very little. In fact, as early as two years ago, the Diamond Empire sent out a caravan, but very little goods they brought.
Meng Fan agreed.
Today was the appointed day two years ago.
When everything was over, Celestial Commander of Diamond and Meng Fan sat down together, accompanied by the envoys and the bureaucrats. The conversation began.
"Mr. Ye, from the distant Thousand-Star Universe?" Celestial Commander of Diamond was the first to speak. His voice was like a hurricane that had been suppressed under the mask.
Meng Fan nodded with a smile.
"Thousand-Star Universe is very far from here. Even with the help of the spatial stairs, it would still take over a hundred thousand years to travel back and forth. Mr. Ye has truly gone through a very long journey." Celestial Commander of Diamond said indifferently. It was obvious that these were mere pleasantries and not the main topic of discussion. Therefore, Meng Fan only nodded his head and did not reply.
In Universe of Eight Kings, there were many external Peak Celestial King. They all had a common goal: to obtain Immortal Crystal.
After some pleasantries, Celestial Commander of Diamond said, "I am here to represent the Emperor of the Diamond Empire. I hope to establish some contacts with the Steel Palace for a long term trade. I also hope to establish a few stores within the Steel Palace. In return, we can meet some of the requirements of the Steel Palace."
Meng Fan nodded his head: "To have everything is what I want, and also what the Wu Steel Palace wants. I have come to the Universe of Eight Kings only to obtain the Scarlet Gold, to exchange for Immortal Crystal, the more trade, the more the Scarlet Gold, the better. As for the request, it's also very simple, it's just a word of equality, can the Wu Steel Palace also conduct some trade in the Diamond Empire, and open a merchant house?"
"Sure." Celestial Commander of Diamond said. Are there any other requirements? "
"Pure gold." Meng Fan said.
Celestial Commander of Diamond nodded. He had expected this to happen.
The eight empires actually held quite a shocking reserve of pure gold in their hands, and they even had the reserve of Immortal Crystal s. The establishment of shops and trade was in fact all for the sake of obtaining Immortal Crystal s.
"As for the exact number, let the servants talk about it. I would like to have a private chat with Mr. Ye."
Celestial Commander of Diamond said.
Meng Fan waved his hand.
The bureaucrats and envoys took their leave.
"Mr. Ye, can we travel in plain clothes and stroll around the Wu Steel Palace for a few days to take a look at the scenery?" Celestial Commander of Diamond asked.
Meng Fan smiled and said, "Of course."
The next few days, Celestial Commander of Diamond and Meng Fan were indeed strolling around to take a look at the scenery of the Liu Steel Palace.
A few days later, Celestial Commander of Diamond left with the caravan and the diplomatic mission. This time, the profit from the trade filled up the two coffers of the Steel Palace.
Celestial Commander of Diamond came here for a purpose other than trading and opening a merchant house. Actually, he had a hidden purpose.
This point, Meng Fan could figure it out without the Taoism Sail boat trying to deduce it.
It was the principle that was always followed in Universe of Eight Kings, one-ninth of the way.0
It was a gray zone, and Great Reef were the gray emperors of Universe of Eight Kings. As for the eight great empires, they were also bound to have some grey matters, which could not be left in the sunlight. The best choice would be to place them in the Great Reef.
This time, when the large-scale caravan arrived at the Weiyang Palace, they had brought a huge amount of goods, some of which were obviously "gray goods".
They were all items which, if sold in large quantities, would be forbidden. For example, black diamonds.
The price of the black diamond was extremely expensive, but the World of Meaning had very strict control over the black diamond, and it was not allowed to circulate at will. The black diamond often only traded with the World of Meaning, and could even be used to exchange for Immortal Crystal s.
However, while the price of World of Meaning was constant, the price of World of Meaning was much higher in the outside world.
Thus, the Diamond Empire would always secretly sell some of their black diamonds to the outside world. As for the best choice, that would naturally be a place with no Great Reef.
The rise of Weiyang Palace allowed the diamond empire to see a huge market, where black diamonds could also be dumped.
Whether it was refining Taoist Artifact s, armors, divine weapons, or extracting small amounts of black diamonds to refine Pills s, the effects were all wondrous. The hardness and density of the black diamond was more than five times that of the Natural Crystal s.
This was the meaning of the existence of the "gray zone".
The terms of the agreement with the Diamond Country allowed the Diamond Country to trade on a large scale once a year. There was no restriction on trade between the small merchants, and the trade tax was 1/50 on trade.
In addition, Meng Fan could feel that the Diamond Empire seemed to be extending their hands towards the Great Reef.
Because Great Reef was an impossible place and was also a piece of fat, the eight great empires were actually thinking of ways to squeeze into the Great Reef.
For the Diamond Empire, on one hand, they could sell a large amount of prohibited goods in trade with Weiyang Palace, on the other hand, they could increase the authority and influence they had in the Great Reef. In the end, they could even befriend a member of the Peak Celestial King, so no matter how one looked at it, it was a good business deal.
After the Diamond Empire visited Weiyang Palace, the next year, another big Divine Kingdom also sent a caravan to trade with Weiyang Palace.
As the largest city in the Great Reef, Weiyang Palace had already become the target of the eight great empires to curry favor with.
But at this moment, some hidden dangers appeared.
It was true that the Wu Steel Palace was the largest city with the largest Great Reef, but it was only a "city". Great Reef, as well as many other forces with intertwined roots and roots, were also powerful Divine Kings that had been rooted in the Great Reef for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years. They had all established their own enormous business empire, or controlled businesses such as the black market and mercenaries.
In the seventy-ninth year of the construction of Weiyang Palace, the Tian Zilou were attacked.
