Chapter 345: Harmonious Discussion

The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord and the Sea Bird Church Bishop clearly had no intention of bringing the Clam Cloth Merchant Alliance Branch Leader along, throwing all their plans behind him.

The former two acted together, moving too quickly and with too much effect. By the time the Clam Cloth Branch Leader wanted to intervene, he found that the situation had already been completely decided.

The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps did not participate in the battle to destroy the Bayonet Gang. Although they protected themselves, they also lost the opportunity to obtain more spoils.

But the dragonman youngster did not regret this.

“In the current situation, there is no need to act as an eyesore.”

“If the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps were to participate in the battle, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord would see it as us coming to take advantage.”

“He is too well prepared and does not need the help of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps to easily swallow up the Bayonet Gang.”

“Even if the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps participates in the battle and obtains some resources, it will provoke the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord's aversion, which is completely not worth it.”

"The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps will establish a stronghold here. As the local Lord, it would be too easy for him to deal with the fixed assets left behind by outsiders. There are too many ways to do so."

“For now, maintaining a good cooperative relationship with the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord is the top priority.”

The dragonman youngster would not have had this realization before, but after this experience in Snow Bird Harbor, he learned a lot from the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord.

The young leader became more mature.

He had become more thoughtful in his considerations, no longer limited to using force to deal with problems, and his political sensitivity had also improved somewhat.

Seeing that the dragonman youngster was looking at the activity map but was slow to make a choice, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord couldn't help but point out three places in succession.

He said, "I suggest you choose from these three places, as they are all in very good locations. Of course, there are differences between them, so you need to compare them carefully."

The dragonman youngster shook his head slightly and smiled, “I need to think about this matter.”

He had not thought about making his own decision on this matter because he trusted Zi Di's judgment more.

There was no need to ignore a talented businessperson and make a rash decision himself. That was not something a wise leader should do.

“Of course,” said the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord as he put away the activity map.

He said in an expectant tone, "I believe that if your group's crossbows are put on sale, they will definitely sell very well."

“I have no problem with granting the qualifications for selling weapons.”

"As you know, our country only has a ban on armor, not a ban on crossbows. As long as you don't sell gold level armor, there will be no problem."

The dragonman youngster nodded and said emotionally, “So, the gold level defensive items that can be used are not full body armor but rather shields and accessories.”

The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord sighed and said, “That's right.”

Whether it was the Diamond Protection Set, the Flowing Wave Armor, or the Thin Ice Wall Shield, it was all the same.

At most, there was Teng Dong Lang's Abandoned Person's Shirt, but this garment did not actually have orthodox defensive properties but rather took an unconventional approach.

The dragonman youngster pondered, “In the short term, we only plan to sell one type of potion.”

This potion was naturally the dragon rider potion that he had discussed with Zi Di before.

“As for those alchemy crossbows.” At this point, the dragonman youngster paused and showed a hint of helplessness, “That's not something I can decide.”

The implication was that he still had to listen to the specific orders of the arms dealer behind him.

The implication was that he still had to listen to the specific orders of the arms dealer behind him.

The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord was fooled, and although his expression did not change, his eyes clearly flashed.

It had to be said that the excuse and identity of an arms dealer and smuggler were really useful.

Such bluffing made the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps more respected and feared.

Unknowingly, it had already gained considerable benefits for the dragonman youngster.

The two continued to talk.

For the dragonman youngster, good news came one after another.

The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord had collected more dragon beast corpses, which would be transferred to the dragonman youngster during the next handover.

He also found two pieces of gold level equipment, both of which would be sold to the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps.

Speaking of gold equipment, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord had lent out some, which had already been returned by the dragonman youngster yesterday.

The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord was not as generous as Bu Quan, who would give things away for free.

Of course, what was borrowed had to be returned.

The news that surprised the dragonman youngster the most was about the alchemists.

Currently, a silver level alchemist was on his way to Snow Bird Harbor.

According to his itinerary, he would arrive at the dock in a day. At that time, once both sides signed the contract, he would immediately join the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps.

With the destruction of the Bayonet Gang, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps' biggest obstacle suddenly disappeared, and their future suddenly became bright.

The same was true for the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord.

In fact, he gained far more benefits than the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps.

The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was just an outsider.

During his conversation with the dragonman youngster, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord also admitted that after this battle, his influence within his faction had skyrocketed several times over. When he was raising those resources through his connections before, it was nowhere near as easy as it was now.

Many people saw his achievements and were more willing to actively cooperate with him.

That was why this silver level alchemist was able to arrive at Snow Bird Harbor so quickly.

The other two alchemists were also handing over their original work and tasks.

“So, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps will welcome three silver level alchemists?” This good news made it difficult for the dragonman youngster to hide the joy on his face.

But he did not get carried away.

Throughout the entire process, he remained quite cautious.

When talking to the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord, every word he said was carefully thought out and weighed before he spoke.

To be honest, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord's decisive destruction of the entire Bayonet Gang really surprised the dragonman youngster.

Such tactics were truly formidable.

The most outstanding aspect of this operation was that the destruction of the Bayonet Gang did not have a significant negative impact on Snow Bird Harbor or the general public.

Normally, the destruction of such a large organization would inevitably result in a considerable number of innocent people being affected.

But not this time!

This showed that the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord was in complete control of the situation.

He had once told the dragonman youngster that he had been preparing for many years and was quite well prepared.

When the dragonman youngster heard this, he thought that the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord was trying to boost his confidence. He was encouraging the dragonman youngster to cooperate with him.

However, it turned out that the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord's words were not exaggerated in the slightest.

He was indeed very well prepared.

Throughout the entire process, the Bayonet Gang did not put up any resistance.

The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord had clearly guaranteed the dragonman youngster that he would definitely win this time.

Now, looking back, the dragonman youngster realized that with such thorough preparation, it was only natural to have confidence in victory.

Similarly, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord did not dare to underestimate the dragonman youngster in the slightest.

He had almost suffered a loss before.

That night, on the Love Triangle, when he heard the dragonman youngster say that he could accurately locate the mysterious assassin, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord subconsciously stood up from his seat, his heart filled with surprise and doubt.

That left a deep impression on him.

On the other hand, the outcome of the duel between the dragonman youngster and Teng Dong Lang clearly told everyone that the dragonman youngster could not simply be regarded as a silver level battle qi cultivator.

The dragonman youngster was extraordinary.

Thirdly, he also had interests to pursue.

The alchemy crossbow that the dragonman youngster used in his heroic duel was indeed very sophisticated.

From this, it could be inferred that his other weapons would also be of good quality.

The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord hoped to have such weapons supplied to himself.

Even though he was about to step down from his position as city Lord, it did not prevent him from maintaining contact with the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps.

In many cases, the exchange of resources could generate invisible benefits beyond the transaction itself. For example, political influence.

For all of the above reasons, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord took a more equal attitude toward the dragonman youngster.

The two talked very smoothly.

The atmosphere in the study was harmonious.

Neither of them felt the passage of time as they talked. Both sides were very sincere and respectful of each other, willing to make concessions, and quickly reached a lot of consensuses.

But just then, the sound of fighting suddenly came from downstairs.
