BXBX NOVEL Chapter 246 Zephystrand Date (1)
This was tremendous revenue from single Power Armor... it would be a profitable business soon enough. Naturally, the first clientele would be just worshipping nations of the Outer Gods that were affiliated with the Hall of Kadath.
Only at a later date would they be able to sell these beauties to the wider Cosmos because these Power Armors were pretty much advanced compared to other mass-produced models that were being sold practically to anyone who paid.
The best models were in the hands of factions that developed them, while the ones circulating in the market were relatively obsolete compared to the high-end technology.
Though at the same time, even those obsolete models were like heaven-sent things for factions in most of the Lower Worlds and Middle Worlds.
"Splendid... though, who ordered such a huge amount?"
Samiel was a bit curious about the affiliated faction, which ordered such a huge number of Power Armors. Worshipping nations was a term for factions, most nations that had a state and sole religion that of the Outer Court.
Most, if not all, of them were under the protection of the Hall of Kadath. They were some sort of faith for the Outer Gods, mostly kept on the whim of the Outer Gods of the Outer Court.
Usually, they were also the recruitment pool of the Hall of Kadath\'s branches, as these factions were fanatically loyal to the Hall of Kadath.
Most of their worlds were typical medieval worlds without any speck of technology or any kind of advancement, living off the mercy of Gods.
He even wanted to visit that kind of world to experience such a thing... it sounded like some sort of dark fantasy like some novels he read on Earth.
"Several truths to be told, but the biggest order came from the nation named Nofrena Empire; they are located in the Desolas Sector in some Middle World infested with some kind of ferocious monsters from what they told me..."
The Material Plane of the Cosmos was divided into countless Star Regions, which were collections of countless Worlds, typically under one Principal World. Only a few of the Star Regions had more than one Principal World.
Samiel knew of the Desolas Star Region because it was on the edges of the Material Plane of the Cosmos, which was ever expanding into the emptiness of the Void; thus, the outer edges were extremely dangerous.
Countless worlds there were infused with monsters corrupted by the Void, so it was a very dangerous place to live or even visit.
Still, at the same time, those worlds were treasure troves because they were newly created, contained countless primordial treasures and even those Void Monsters were priceless.
"Did you manage to get somebody to be the head of the Weapon Research Department?"
Samiel questioned the dwarf who was head of the Manufacturing Department, because when he departed from the 3rd Floor a long time ago, at least from him... he gave him the task of finding someone who would be suitable to become head of the other Departments.
Still, for now, he wanted to get one of the Weapons Research as soon as possible; making weapons was the most important thing for the IMC right now.
Their sole product were just a variation of reverse-engineered Power Armors and that was not enough for the future money-making goals.
"Yes, I have contacted a few good dwarves; hopefully, somebody will answer back soon enough."
There were still new departments that needed to be opened, but right now, there was a lack of people.
Samiel preferred to hire dwarves, though, because they were pretty much loyal as they treasured their friendships and contracts with the other people.
Dwarves were honest people who didn\'t really like much scheming and other things, they were loyal to those whom they called friends and they always adhered to the contract they entered into.
"Oh, I have here these things... sell them through the channels and use the money to develop the IMC."
Samiel gave Master Goldengroc Dimensional Ring with treasures, gold, jewels, weapons and other miscellaneous items that he got from the treasuries of the Tomb of the Last Hauman King...
According to his calculations, there should be a few tens of millions of Credits; it wasn\'t a lot thus he decided to leave that to IMC so they could invest it into something.
"Then, with this done, I would be taking my leave."
He then excused himself as he exited the Headquarters of the IMC and went to the Noble District of the Zephystrand, more precisely to the main fontaine where he had a meeting with Yvraine as he got a message from her that she already took care of things she wanted to do and even reserved them dinner at a newly opened restaurant.
Yvraine was already waiting there for him, sitting on the bench and looking at the time on her Holo-Braine, but fortunately for him, she didn\'t look annoyed from waiting for him... that was a good sign.
"Sorry for making you wait... I was in a hurry, but checking on the Power Armors took longer than I anticipated..."
Samiel said as he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, while Yvraine just sighed and stood up from the bench.
"I just arrived a few minutes ago..."
Yvraine answered as they went for a short walk around the fontaine area while they were talking about some things; the main topic of their conversation was their dinner place because Yvraine chose a different place compared to the last time.
"So, what restaurant did you choose? You mentioned that it was one opened just recently."
Samiel asked her as she hummed in delight about something.
"Yamato-style cuisine, the restaurant is currently a pretty hot topic in the Zephystrand."
Yamato was the name of one of the Principal Worlds of the Material Plane of the Cosmos and if Samiel had to describe it somehow, it was basically a magical version of Japan of old Earth.
Shinto Pantheon was a dominant faction of the Yamato World, though there were also countless other types of Transcendents that ascended there from various paths; together they were creating some sort of Yamato Coalition.
"Then I cannot wait for dinner already..."
He said, though, in the little back part of his head, he was already thinking about the price of the dinner because these things were not cheap, especially considering the fact that Yvraine for sure booked up the entire floor exclusively for them.
They arrived in front of the building, which looked like a small pagoda, truth to be told, it didn\'t fit the architecture of the Zephystrand at all, but Samiel could see several buildings like this in the Noble District.
These were special and unique buildings, often some exclusive establishments for the high-ranking citizens of the Nesser Dynasty that were living in the Zephystrand or descended down from the higher Floors of the Tower or came from the other worlds of the Material Plane to enjoy the beauty of the Cosmos.
