Warhammer Throne

Chapter 384: , Helmgart: Plague

The goods of the dwarves were very popular, and the things were quickly sold out. The group of dwarves put away the gold and silver coins and left the market, heading directly outside the city of Hemgart.

"Isn't that the rangers of the Angland clan? It seems that Bellegar is also there." Ryan said to Sulia with interest: "I didn't expect Bellega to bring the clansmen here."

"His Majesty King Bellegar may be a bit...careful about face, but he is not stupid. He is here to investigate the market price and surrounding forces. In fact, he has helped us a lot since he came to your territory and reunited with his people. Dugan doesn't know how to make iron dragon cannons. It was His Majesty Bellegar who asked the chief engineer of the Angland clan, Halhav-Goldman to teach him." The female knight whispered.

"It's not that I don't know, the dwarf originally planned to give you a set of meteorite iron armor. Later, I came to see that his father sent the armor. I'll let them make a set for the older brother." Ryan whispered.

"Brother? Anglang?" Su Liya was a little strange.

"Yuri, isn't your brother my brother? We are a family." Ryan muttered, "It would be a waste to give a set of meteorite iron armor to Brother Anglang. I don’t think it’s much use, Brother Anglang. The style of play is slashing and slashing, it makes no difference whether it is rune mithral plate armor or meteorite iron plate armor."

"Puff~" The female knight couldn't help laughing, and she was also very happy in her heart. Even though the words "your brother" and "brother" both refer to Julius, the meanings contained therein are quite different.

She looked at the dwarves who were leaving the city curiously, and then said: "By the way, why do these dwarves come here to sell? We in Brittany also need dwarf equipment."

"Because the equipment is inferior or defective." Ryan continued to complain: "I have a good relationship with Bellegar. All he sells to us are first-class goods, but even if they are dwarves, they are in production. It is still inevitable to make some defective products. These defective dwarves never use them. They are sold to humans at a high price. In the language of dwarves, humans mean people who make defective products. But then again. , Even if it is a defective product of the dwarf, it is much better than the gadgets made by many human craftsmen."

Ryan and his party did not go up to say hello to Bellegar and the group. They strolled around the town for a while, and quickly checked into the Oliver Hotel in the city.

This is a large three-story hotel, located in the downtown area, in a deep alley near the market. Due to the wrong time, the hotel is relatively deserted. Ryan and others greeted the hotel owner, who immediately opened the third floor. The most luxurious suite is for Lane and others to live in.

The group put their things, Rudolph and Wagner went to the Earl of the Frontier to approve the customs clearance documents. Ryan and the group put the things away. The Earl looked at the wooden floor and animal skins of the hotel and nodded: "Oliver’s business over the years has increased. Get bigger."

The Oliver Hotel is part of the Oliver Chamber of Commerce. With the support of Ryan, Oliver has opened many hotels in Brittany and some parts of the empire.

There are many uses for running a hotel. The biggest use is not to make money, but to collect intelligence and internalize transactions. Hemgart is a border town on the Axe Pass, the diplomatic relations and trade tariffs between the Empire and the Kingdom of Bretania Hemgart is always the first to learn of the change.

For the merchants, the information is the most important thing, so Oliver opened hotels in Montferre Castle and Hemgart, where the Axe’s Pass is the main trade between the Empire and Brittania. On the land trade route, Ryan was troubled by the astonishingly high tariffs on the Axe Pass, but he also had to admit that the safety of the Axe Pass could be guaranteed with the joint efforts of the empire and Bretania.

Business is like this. The risk is high, the return is high, and the risk is low, the return is also low. People always want low-risk and high-income investments.

Are there any deals with low risks and high returns?

There are only two types, one is a scam, and the other is a high-threshold transaction for the upper class.

Just like the trade contract signed by Ryan and Targris, this trade contract is in the true sense of low risk and high return. However, this kind of transaction is impossible for ordinary merchants to complete. Human merchants go private to find high-precision trade. Maybe Oncoming is a stinky face, even fireball.

"Oliver's business in recent years has been getting bigger and bigger." Ryan looked down at Hemgart's building complex in the sea of ​​clouds, the city on the mountainside overlooking the plains crisscrossed by the paddles in the distance of Rick-it is a pity now It's winter, and the mountains are full of clouds and fog, and you can't see the distance.

"Oliver, when we met him at [Long Teng Novel Network www.xiaodaba.com] Nord, he was still a small businessman." Teresa was wearing Brunswick's graceful gray shoulder-shoulder frosted dress, Long black gleaming hair hung behind her head, and the sorcerer tightened her white bear fur coat, holding a black crocodile leather bag in her hand: "Do you remember? Ryan?"

Both Su Liya and Veronica were very interested in this matter and kept asking questions.

"Of course I remember. I still remember Oliver's dress at the time. It was really strange." Ryan touched his chin: "I still remember his very strange dress, wearing gold and silver and forcibly wearing armor. , When you told me'time is money', at that time we were still marching on Scavill Mountain."

"Mr. Oliver? I rarely see him wearing gold and silver." Su Liya also followed.

"That's because Oliver is rich now, Mrs. Suria, you know, it's not like aristocrats to merchants, they are the opposite." Veronica wore a classical layered corduroy skirt. With a smile on her sweet face: "Is it your impression that the merchants in Winford's court are all dressed in plain clothes, and they are only conniving?"

"Indeed, there are a few businessmen doing business on my father's side. Every time they meet them in the court, they dress very simple and clean." Su Liya nodded thoughtfully, the female knight since she was a child. Grew up in the court.

"The smaller the capital and the smaller the businessmen, the more they have to wear gold and silver to show that they have the financial resources and ability, and conversely, the more businessmen who have a large trading network and sufficient size, the more they must be low-key." Veronica laughed, and the Witch Garland explained to Su Liya: "Otherwise, once the nobles are upset, they can easily be replaced even if they are not killed. How can the merchants fight against the nobles?"

"So, no wonder my father was trembling and whispering when he saw those businessmen." Su Liya nodded repeatedly: "I remember the first time I saw Mr. Oliver, he was dressed very luxuriously. Now, apart from wearing a gold ring and a silk dress, he doesn't wear any jewelry, just like an ordinary courtier."

"The knight is different, Veronica, I heard that when Ryan met you for the first time, he was just a little elite warrior?" Teresa asked in turn with interest.

"Yes, Ryan was just a ranger knight with a breastplate on the outside and a gray-headed face. I still remember that I was in a bad mood at that time. Raising my hand was a fireball technique. Ryan was only in his early twenties and was shot by a fireball. Shu's face was scorched and white teeth were exposed." Veronica said casually: "The face that was a little handsome was burned like a dog."

"Hahahahaha~" There was laughter in the room, only Ryan's old face was flushed.

"Me too, when I went to Nord Palace to participate in the ceremony of Ryan's promotion to the kingdom knights, Ryan actually pretended that something fell under the table and was peeping..." Teresa's face was a little red, but Shaking Ryan's dark history.

"That's right! Ryan likes it so much..." Su Liya also joined the topic.

Ryan was blushing, and quickly said you guys talk first, I'll go down and have a look.

The earl hurried downstairs, even so he could still hear the laughter from upstairs from time to time.

Three women in one scene.

The innkeeper was settling the accounts, and seeing Ryan came down, he immediately bowed and signaled: "Your Excellency, what's your order? Is there a problem with the room?"

"There is no problem in the room, I just want to ask you something." Ryan stood in front of the bar and whispered.

"Your Excellency, please give orders." Of course, the hotel owner knew who was behind the boss Oliver. He looked around at the environment. This time is not the peak season for business, and there are not many guests.

"Don't be so nervous, I just ask, how is Hemgart?" Ryan waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to inquire about any secrets: "Trade, law and order, these?"

"Not very good. Since Hemgart was invaded by the Duke of Casvan, even though the empire and Bretania did not affect the covenant because of this, more businessmen still took a wait-and-see attitude, or went by sea. Marienburg trade, Earl Reinhardt-Von-Mackensen felt uneasy about the slow decline in trade volume. He recently tried to negotiate with Vulkad, Duke of Montfort, to impose a slight tariff to encourage trade." The boss said: "Of course, my earl, there are still many caravans that trade through the axe bite pass."

"What about law and order?" Ryan was not surprised when he heard the news, and he went on to ask.

"Security is okay. Recently, there has been relatively little activity between the green-skinned orcs and the beasts." The innkeeper let out a sigh, and then said: "However, it is rumored that Hemgart's sewers and the depths of the mine are very restless. There are quite a few. There are traces of rats, and they are rats the size of people! These rats often appear from sewers and mines, attacking livestock and kidnapping humans."

"A mouse as big as a man... Skaven?!" Ryan's face changed slightly, and he frowned: "Did Count Hemgart send an army to clean it up?"

"Shhh~ my earl." The hotel owner hurriedly looked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention. Then he whispered: "Your Excellency Ryan, the empire knows that there are not many Skavens, and they are limited to the upper-class nobles. ."

Ryan's brows frowned even more tightly.

In Brittany, everyone knows the dangers of the Skaven Skaven. The Knight Kingdom has never stopped fighting the Skaven for thousands of years, especially in the southernmost Duchy of Carcassonne.

The scavengers have never been able to invade on a large scale. Thanks to the wood elves. The wood elves of the Essoloren forest are the nemesis of the scavengers. When the scavengers come several times, the wood elves beat them up and scurry with their heads several times.

The empire is different. The last time the empire and the scavenger fought were hundreds of years ago. Under the scavenger’s intentional low-key, the civilians have forgotten the existence of the Skaven scavenger, and only the great aristocrats’ classics record it. He is the author of Skaven, and much of it is ambiguous.

"What can Count Reinhardt do?" Ryan knew it was inconvenient for him to publicize the threat of the rat people, after all, he was not an imperial nobleman.

"The earl attaches great importance to this matter. He not only used part of the family wealth to recruit a group of gutter cleaners, but also sent an army into the depths of the mine to check the situation, but the army has not yet returned." The hotel owner continued. .

"Understood." Ryan thought that Skaven might be infiltrating the city, and he planned to discuss with them when the two Rick guards returned.

After waiting for a while, Rick's guard recruits Rudolf and Wagner came back. They were so unhappy that they entered the hotel and sat down directly in the lobby: "Boss, two glasses of fine black malt beer, hurry up."

"Hey! Yes, sir." The innkeeper quickly took two glasses of dark beer from the beer barrel and brought them to them, carefully asking: "Excuse me, what happened?"

"Has the customs clearance document been approved?" Ryan also asked curiously.

"No, the earl of Reinhardt is not in the earl’s castle." Rudolf drank a few sips of dark beer, and said dissatisfiedly: "Those waiters stopped us for a long time, and they told us only after we asked, Reinhardt. The Earl Hart are not there and they don’t know where they have gone. The customs clearance documents will not be stamped until the Earl returns, and the Earl will not be able to come back at night. That is to say, you will be able to stamp tomorrow, apply again, and you will be able to leave the day after tomorrow."

"Then it's okay. Let's stay here for one more day." Ryan shrugged. Everyone is in trouble, and staying one more day is not a problem.

"It can only be this way." Wagner looked very open. The Rick Guards recruit regarded this journey as a tour. He played with the wheel pioneer in his hand. I saw a cow in the center of the city that had been gnawed all over..."

Ryan chatted with Rudolf and Wagner in the lobby for a few minutes. Suddenly, there was a strong sense of vibration on the ground and the sound of shaking the house, and the beer in the hands of Rick's guard was directly spilled on his face.

The Oliver Hotel was shaking sharply, dust falling from the ceiling.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of earth-shattering explosions came to mind in the distance outside the hotel.

"What's going on? What happened?" Ryan and the others were shaken to the ground, but these people are professional soldiers, they immediately got up, Rudolph and Wagner's knight retinues immediately began to serve two Rick The guard wears equipment.

Ryan got up from the ground with his hands and feet. He ran to the door of the hotel and opened the door. Then, the oncoming scene made him open his mouth in surprise.

In the distance, Hemgart’s barracks were burning with billowing smoke.

On the street, large groups of rat people as big as people are pouring out from sewers, gutters, and corners of buildings, slaughtering civilians in Hemgart!

"Skaven~yesyes!"
