Chapter Eighty-six: Fierce as a Dragon

  Timothy hesitated and said: "What does the master mean by 'some'?"

  "At least 3, preferably an endless supply of energy, such as grabbing two mages who can make this kind of scroll."

  Chen Yi said it lightly, but the three of them looked at each other in dismay.

  After a while, Timothy said in a low voice: "Master, the country of Saipu is a member of the Western Alliance. Among them, only three core families have wizards who can copy rare scrolls. The production of rare scrolls requires the wizard's level to be high... In this way, copying 4th-level rare scrolls requires a 6th-level wizard, which is already the level of a red-robed wizard."

  The Red Robe Mages are between 6th to 8th grade, but whether it's like Bishop Sandar or ordinary Red Robes, they are extremely rare throughout the continent.

  If it weren't for the great magician Timothee, the Saintgio Kingdom's Magic Tower would be controlled by the Red Robed Mages.

  "Is it difficult?" Chen Yi still asked.

  Timothy said in a low voice, "Except for the last accidental victory, the endless stream of rare scrolls can only be obtained by defeating the Western Alliance and making the Seaborg Kingdom surrender."

  Chen Yi didn't understand and didn't want to understand either, so he asked again: "What resources do you want?"

  Such an obvious statement made Timothy both surprised and delighted, he thought for half a day, gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to defeat the Western Alliance and make the Seipogah Kingdom surrender, at least 70% of the high-level mages in the kingdom are needed, more than 50% of mid-level mages, plus 3 million elite soldiers. If 100,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 mages are mobilized from the Cold Wind Fortress, at least... at least 5 million mid-level scrolls and more than 1,000 high-level scrolls are needed.

  He held his breath three times before giving this number.

  In fact, Timothy did not exaggerate. They had been fighting defensive battles before, and the plan was to launch a counterattack, but Chen Yi demanded an invasion.

  The war resources required by the three parties are completely different.

  Thanks to the magical traditions of the Kingdom of Sanctuario, they have a large number of low-level mages who can use scrolls to release high-level scrolls.

  Even so, the number of high-ranking mages is only slightly higher than that of the Western Alliance. To win a decisive victory, it would naturally require several times more war preparations.

  And on the Northern and Eastern lines, we will use two-thirds or even one-third of the original Fa-rectification power to stop an even more frantic attack, with hundreds of millions of scrolls being a conservative estimate.

  Timothy must have taken into account the speed at which the scribes made scrolls to some extent.

  At that time, it may be necessary to send the scroll materials directly to the front line, where they can be made by the law masters during the intervals of the battle.

  Chen Yi remained calm and composed, but in his heart, he understood that he had thought things were too simple.

  50 million mid-level scrolls, at least 500 million sheets of paper can be picked out, that is 50 million knives, just the weight can crush 100 million strong men.

  He must have declined the invitation.

  Chen Yi suddenly said when everyone's emotions were slightly low: "In two days, I'll first find some high-grade scroll paper. Can you guys get 3 skill duplication scrolls?"

  "In spite of difficulties..." To Timothy, attempts outside of war were somewhat a matter of luck, and he didn't dare speak too much.

  Chen Yi heard his concerns and directly said: "8th or 9th grade scrolls, over 1,000 pieces." Chen Yi had come to the Holy Kingdom of Saint Qiao no less than a hundred times, but he had only brought a few dozen 8th or 9th grade scroll papers.

  But this does not mean he can't get better paper.

  Because he used to buy paper from a paper supermarket and wasn't short of gold coins, he was too lazy to look for it again.

  According to Mr. He's research, he was almost certain that if the ingredients of the paper were changed and a batch of high-priced pure paper packaging paper was made, its quality would not be much worse.

  The yield of 9-level scroll paper may be lower, and small-batch production of 8-level scroll paper is feasible.

  Of course, including the cost of purchasing raw materials, a large sum of money must be spent. In his previous way, the only snowflake money would certainly not be enough.

  The three people present were utterly stunned.

  A few high-level scrolls may change the fate of an important battle, but hundreds or thousands of high-level scrolls can inevitably change the fate of a war.

  The master is impossible to tell lies

  Timothy trembled, gritting his teeth and said: "Master, rest assured, if there are 1,000 eight- or nine-grade scroll papers, within three months at most, I'll even kill my way into the Saboga Grand Duchy to get you a skill duplication scroll."

  A great magician, accompanied by several red-robed mages, each holding dozens of high-level scrolls... That was truly invincible.

  Not to mention that there are no great mages in the Republic of Saboga, even if there were, what's the point of competing when faced with seventh or eighth level scrolls?

  Even if they are hiding in a well-defended city, with just one or two hours of leisure time, a 9th-level scroll can bring them to the brink of disaster...

  If by any chance a 9th-level scroll of singleton is created, it would even have a probability to instantly kill the court magicians...

  Suddenly, the great wizard felt that war had become so simple?

  Isn't war really this simple?

  A philosophical question began to torment the great wizard's nerves.

  Chen Yi maintained his proud smile and said, "This is very good."

  Three months in the Kingdom of San Chiao, less than a month on Earth, it's not too late.

  The Skill Copy Scroll is the strongest scroll he currently knows of, and the European invasion, as well as Jindalra's mention of the "Human Development Research Association", have made him feel a considerable threat.

  Timothy was still in a daze, and Saint Knight bowed on his behalf: "Master, rest assured that we will do our best."

  As the communication time between the two sides lengthened, Crystal's translation became more and more accurate.

  With that said and done, the Paladin training resumed once again.

  The Earl of Lanling and the Knights of the Kingdom also returned to accompany him in his practice.

  Chen Yi gritted his teeth and held his head in a firm grip, first applying oil and adjusting his posture, waiting for the eight-foot giant bear to explain the key points of the movement.

  This time, Grindelwald mainly taught him how to connect the magic web, especially how to borrow the aura around him to complete simple combat skills.

  The Marquis of Lanling gazed at him with envy, constantly using the aura collected from his surroundings to fuel extremely weak and almost invisible flames, or simply wrapping the aura around his fist and striking out fiercely.

  The aura in the subway seemed endless, Chen Yi played with great joy, and the speed of training also increased greatly.

  Grundler was a bit puzzled, but still said nothing. The law of the tower also has the function of connecting the magic net, which can help release fighting skills, condense fighting energy, and is not complicated.

  Having practiced to the point where he could smoothly condense the surrounding aura, Chen Yi slowly came to a stop and said with a serious expression: "Holy Knight, it's getting too late for practice today, may I be excused?"

  "Of course." The Holy Knights and others bowed their heads in unison.

  "Master, a small amount of aura can have an ordinary effect in battle, but it can be wrapped around any part of the body. However, at particularly weak points, careful use can produce extraordinary results."

  "What do you mean?"

  "Eyes, when using Dou Qi around the eyes, be careful." Lang Ling said with a cough, "In other places, it's not necessary to have too much concern."

  He smiled as if he were an old lady who had made a dish of mouse meat stewed with puffer fish.

  "Anywhere other than the eyes?" Chen Yi looked down at his body suspiciously.

  The Holy Knights and the Red Robe Mages all pretended they didn't know.

  A kingdom knight couldn't help but whisper: "Jester."

  He thought Chen Yi couldn't hear him, but didn't know that the crystal screen had an amplifying effect.

  Lanling smiled and bowed, then continued on his way, shouting loudly: "I wish Master Zhuo a triumphant journey! The spirit of the knights is strong and fierce like a dragon, with thousands of miles of rivers flowing rapidly..."

  He said with one side of his mouth while looking at those kingdom knights with a slanted gaze.

  Several senior knights had no choice but to bow their heads and shout in unison: "Wishing Master Da's fleet a triumphant voyage, the spirit of chivalry, as strong as a dragon, the rivers and streams flowing for thousands of miles..."

  Chen Yi finally understood the extraordinary effect of a small amount of Dou Qi, and his heart was involuntarily filled with a burning passion.

  There's a beauty waiting for me in bed at home.

  He wiped his sweat and casually selected some potions and low-grade medicines on the crystal screen before leaving the Mage Tower by subway.

  It was already dawn when I arrived on the ground...

  Chen Yixian hailed a taxi and immediately called Tang Xiongfei, asking: "The second bank, where did you choose?"

  "Just to confirm. How about Lehman Brothers? They are now the fourth largest investment bank in the US, with a very comprehensive range of financing instruments and certain development potential. The leverage offered is 220 times."

  He guessed that Chen Yi chose a new bank in order to provide more financing channels, find a large investment bank, and establish an ideal credit relationship, which is naturally the best.

  However, his guess was apparently incomplete.

  "Switch to a bank with operations in China."

  "In China?"

  "JPMorgan or whatever, as long as they can transfer the money." He thought for a moment and said, "What's today's profit?" "About 45%, $1.2 billion." With the total amount of funds rising to tens of billions, still getting a return on investment of nearly 945% is simply terrifying. This completely relies on the powerful computing power of "Sea Witch" and the result of monopolizing NYSE.

  If it weren't for the existence of traditional market makers and if computerized trading proportions were still low, NYSE might have applied for antitrust a long time ago.

  In comparison, their current unease is just that - unease.

  The Vatican agreed with Marcone's suggestion and gave a direct order to Stanik to kidnap Chen Yi, all for this terrible return.

  If the stock continues to rise at this rate, Chen Yi may become one of the richest people on Wall Street in a week or a month.

  However, this is impossible.

  After all, there are opportunities to make money in the market, and arbitrage cannot happen indefinitely, so the rich need to constantly invest in new fields, which is why companies that become sunrise enterprises can develop so rapidly.

  The maximum amount of funds that "Haiyao" can control is around 10 billion. The corresponding margin is within 300 million.

  While NYSE can provide a profit of no more than $15 million per day.

  Chen Yi deducted the number and said, "You keep $25 million as a guarantee for Mellon Bank, and transfer the rest to another bank, with $5 million as a guarantee, and I will use the rest."

  "Directly through Jin Yuan International's account? Then Mr. Chen will know about it." The Mr. Chen here refers to Chen Congyu.

  "Just use Jin Yuan International directly." Chen Yi replied indifferently.

  After what happened today, Zhu Guangliang should be able to find some information about Jin Yuan International with a little investigation, unless he is really incompetent.

  Everything about money on Wall Street is public information, and interbank transactions are even more transparent, it's only a matter of time before they're known - and that's a very short period of time.

  Apart from this, after experiencing the danger today, Chen Yi also didn't want to hide anymore. Even if it meant spending a sum of money on accounting expenses, sending the money back home for use was the proper thing to do.

  Tang Xiongfei thought for a moment after accepting the challenge: It seems that this time's move was wrong, and it looks like I still need to think more.

  When Chen Yi returned to Jiangda, the school gate was still tightly locked.

  He tore off a three-pole agile volume, crawling and climbing over the wall, running to the H building group, but saw a bright light.

  Five or six police cars were parked under Building 2 of H, and Chen Zongyou and Fang Manyi couple were present.

  However, they heard about the incident and rushed to visit their son, but couldn't find him anywhere. They thought he had been kidnapped again, so they had to ask for help through connections and sent someone to assist.

  Now go out, in addition to being beaten, it is estimated that people who help will also be disgusted.

  Chen Yi carefully avoided the sleepy security guard at the door and sent a text message to his mom in the elevator, then snuck back into his room.

  Kim Duna, who had fallen asleep out of boredom, suddenly woke up and saw that it was Chen Yi, but she relaxed and didn't say a word.

  "Thirsty?" Chen Yi handed her water and untied the luggage strap.

  Jin Dou Na hesitated for a moment, then picked up the cup and drank it, saying: "You didn't put anything in it, did you?"

  Although she has been imprisoned for a long time, her tone is still gentle and exotic.

  "What's interesting about putting it?" Chen Yi said, and with a rustling sound, he burrowed into the quilt.

  Jin Dou Na let out two cries of surprise, her hands subconsciously wanting to push him down, but were easily blocked by Chen Yi.

  More than two thousand hours of training, if I couldn't dodge a little girl's light kick, it would be a waste of life.

  Two people stood with their feet touching and their bodies pressed together.

  Chen Yi's heart suddenly ignited.

  He covered Jina's mouth with his hand and whispered, "Don't make a sound, someone from my family is coming."

  The eyes under those long eyelashes absolutely indicate distrust.

  Chen Yi patted her head and threatened: "Make another sound and I'll stick you up."

  His hand was next to the packing tape, which stuck to his mouth and must have been uncomfortable.

  Jin Douna glared at him and nodded slightly, shrinking her body.

  The door creaked open.

  Chen Yi coughed and said in a low voice, "Hide well." Then he picked up the miscellaneous objects beside him and accurately hit the large door outside, using his inner energy to break open the lock. Only then did he say, "Come in."

  Jin Dou Na suddenly felt a wave of panic and quickly hid under the quilt. She was petite, crouched in Chen Yi's waist and abdomen, and couldn't be seen if not looked carefully.
