After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1986

Chapter 1986: Bleulle Transit Point

At this time, the Bleulle Teleportation Array lit up.

To arrive at the arrival teleportation array, the approval of the Lord was required. In the approval, the list of people is attached to the system panel. This included the information that would be available in the [Population] list in the Lord Panel.

This contained name, level, affinity, and the amount of money they had in their wallets.

Bleumrick was in a simple gathering involving a lot of alcohol and women when he received the notification.

He didn’t think much at first, but when he saw the list of the incoming arrivals, his eyebrows rose in interest, and he stood up and headed to greet the new arrivals himself.

Seeing the Lord move, many people around him were curious, so most accompanied him as the entourage.

This included Lozer, Lizbeth’s older brother, and one of the Bleulle citizens who had been to Alterra. Since there weren’t many from their area who personally investigated Alterra at the time, they managed to secure a few resource deals and distribution deals for their city.

Their oaths were relatively strict, so they never considered betraying Alterra, even just for the monetary gains of it. The oaths for powerhouses were limited, so Alterra’s oaths mostly involved twith them never using their connection to harm Alterra. Other things were too specific and would reduce the oath’s duration too much.

It was also why the deals only lasted three years at most. So, if the merchants wanted to continue business with Alterra, they had to renew the distribution deals as well as their oaths.

At the same time, there was nothing against making deals with others. Even if they supported a rival merchant, the oaths could not stop them. The only limit was that their point of entry to Alterra could not be used against them. Competition was still a fair trade.

The siblings had wondered how to take long-term advantage of the deals they secured in Alterra, and they really found a nice compromise.

One of these was letting the Lord sell the items they get exclusively. Basically, the siblings Lozer and Lizbeth became willing middlemen.

They couldn’t profit much from the items themselves though, as the Lord would basically pay the cost price. Not to mention their logistics costs, which would mean they bought things at a loss. However, the Lord gave a lot of leeway and power to their family, which evened things out.

To them, their personal and family’s prestige was more important than money. Besides, as long as they remained in Bleulle, their territory, it wasn’t difficult to make money at all.

Lord Bleumrick also found ways to suppress the other merchants trying to make direct deals to Alterra so he could retain a monopoly, selling the items for at least ten times what he bought them for.

At the same time, he had sent many spies to Alterra through the months, waiting for a chance to strike.

Basically, it was making money off of his enemy while scheming against them.

None of this was apparent on his face, however. He was now excitedly standing by the array, greeting the newcomer’s caravan.

It was not too big, but not small, and there was a highly noble aura around them. This kind of nobility was what Bleumrick had been trying to apply to his own land.

He walked over to the leading person, a beautiful woman with shimmering blue hair and grey eyes.

"Crown Princess Naia," he greeted respectfully, using the greetings between peers.

Considering how misogynistic Bleumrick was, treating a woman as an equal—at least outwardly—showed how high her status was.
