Charlotte put down her glass, intending to drink herself. His breezy attitude made the four businessmen relax their vigilance, and each of them had a look of desire to speak, except for the occasional exchange on Charlotte's side, all four of them were thinking about their hearts.

Finally, when Charlotte's ale was a third of the way down, a young businessman about Charlotte's age couldn't help but speak.

He first gave Charlotte a glass in return, briefly introduced himself as a maritime merchant from the eastern islands, and then naturally referred to the war between Helm and Ullapool-Hocent.

"This time, Ullapool finally repelled Helm's attack with the help of the island chain defense, but to be honest, I don't know how long Ullapool can hold out. Alas, the empire is in constant turmoil, and if there is no incident of burning on the water, where would Emperor Bruno dare to go north. After he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Charlotte's reaction for a moment.

He wanted to get some high-level information from Charlotte, but it was clear that he had done something useless, because Charlotte didn't even know that the last naval battle ended with a victory for Ullapool.

"Ullapool is also the Empire's maritime overlord, so he must not let Helm easily break through the sea defense line no matter what, right?" Charlotte said casually, in fact, he didn't even believe it.

The Helm Empire is a rival to the San Lorenzo Empire in its heyday, and the new Emperor Bruno, although crazy, is also a bold madman who can destroy the water capital of San Keller in one fell swoop. A few years have passed since the Water Burning Incident, when he was already a Nine-Ring Warlock, and now that many years have passed, I am afraid that he has become a legend.

And Eleanor of Ullapool, Charlotte has not had much contact with him. But now that I think about it, Elinor, who was gentle and easy to talk at the time, should not be a simple character. Only, is he really Bruno's opponent?

Charlotte was skeptical.

But Charlotte's perfunctory answer made the four maritime merchants more or less relieved, and one of them, a dark-skinned middle-aged merchant, followed the topic and said, "The empire has really changed color in recent years, first the death of the old emperor, then the rise and division of the lighthouse, and two years ago, the emperor Elbert also died in Erossa. Have you heard?"

He lowered his voice, looked left and right, and whispered, "It is said that on the side of Erossa, it was not because of the rebellion of the nobles that the Savoie Castle collapsed, but it was the opposite. It was because the royal family of Locente was almost destroyed and the death of Elbert made the three brothers and sisters in the north suspicious, and the famous king in the northeast wanted to expel the eldest brother, unify the north, and become the real lord of the north, but then he thought about it, who knew that the younger sister of the three brothers and sisters in the north picked up a bargain and became the silver dragon queen of Erosa. You say, if this hadn't happened, Erosa would have had Lawrence, the lion of the North, and the famous three brothers and sisters of the Northland, how could the empire have become like this!"

Charlotte's entourage turned dark and was about to get angry, but was stopped by Charlotte's gentle cough. There is no impermeable wall in this world, and these news have long been spread by the rebellious nobles who have been under the slogan of putting things right in the years when the nobles rebelled.

The merchant realized that the atmosphere was not right, and said nothing, but the young merchant remedied, "This should also be gossip, and now Erosa and Icewind Castle are not still iron alliances. Didn't the eldest duke brother and sister join forces to fight the barbarians in the north and rebel in the south, and stabilize the situation in the north?"

"After this order, I also plan to go to the north. The dark-skinned merchant immediately nodded yes, "It is said that there are many things to be done there, and there must be a lot of business opportunities there." ”

Charlotte nodded and replied, "I can indeed go and see if I have the chance, I went to the northern border a while ago to do business, and although the security there is not as good as in previous years, it is probably much better than other places in the empire." ”

Charlotte did not discriminate against merchants, on the contrary, he knew that Erosa was in ruins, and he could not do without the support of these profit-seekers.

The four merchants nodded yes, and the elves immediately guessed that Charlotte was from some family in the North. So as soon as the topic changed, several people talked about the current situation in the south, and the atmosphere gradually became warm. If the level of information is as sophisticated as that of intelligence spies in various countries, these businessmen who often communicate with each other are even better than professional intelligence organizations in terms of the breadth of information.

"I heard that the forest elves of the Southern Flower Language Forest won the troll war under the leadership of the star princess Daphne, and Her Royal Highness Daphne urged the forest elves to take the initiative to contact the outside world and open up certain trade rights. ”

Hearing the name of her comrade-in-arms, Charlotte immediately showed an interested expression. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen the maverick elf princess for many years since he parted from the dark underground.

"Fellow, your news is outdated!" added another merchant, "The forest elves have decided to get out of the Flower Language Forest, and some time ago, the legions under the command of the Helm Empire connived at the dragons to wreak havoc in the Flower Language Forest, which caused the elves to be furious. Not only has Daphne's proposal passed, but it is rumored that those pointy ears are also likely to go to war with the Helm Empire!"

"Really?!" "Impossible, right!?"

Questions like these were raised from the mouths of the other three merchants, and Charlotte looked at the man in amazement, until the man repeatedly confirmed that his information was reliable, and the other three merchants sighed.

"Even the elves are going to war, this is really a world of great contention!"

Charlotte occasionally interjected to provide some less sensitive news, at this time, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and the discussion of the businessmen became more and more out of tune, some of which were even just some gossip, but the businessmen did not accept all of these news, but repeatedly screened the authenticity of the news in the discussion, so as to help the next business decision.

Charlotte's mind was full of the news of the declaration of war between the Flower Forest and the Helm Empire, not that he was obsessed with Devany's long legs, but that he thought that the god believed in by the Flower Forest was the elven god Yvette, was their move influenced by Yvette? What impact does this move have on the future multiverse war? Will he and Daphne face each other with swords in the near future?

In the process, several more diners came to join the conversation. Just as Charlotte finished her meal and pinched a cigarette to eat, the diners who joined the discussion suddenly brought explosive news.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I advise you not to go to Losente lately. ”

"What's the situation?" someone immediately asked, and Charlotte looked curiously at the person who kindly reminded him.

The man was hesitant at first, but seeing that he couldn't stop it, he lowered his voice and said a shocking news.

"The last place I did business was in Locente, where martial law was not allowed. If I hadn't spent a lot of money to get through the relationship, I would have almost missed the deadline for delivery. ”

"What the hell is going on!" people asked.

The voice became lower, and the merchant leaned his head to the center of the table, looked around sneakily, beckoned everyone to join him, and then whispered, "It is said that Archduke Burnt of Rosente was assassinated, and now his life is not long gone......"

"What!?"

When Charlotte heard this, she looked at the man with a shocked face. He paused slightly, taking a deep breath to calm himself.

"Tell me!" Charlotte looked at him with burning eyes, "tell me what the hell is going on!"
