He took a slight step forward, stared at Tromp and asked him in a deep voice:

"Are you talking about Glenn Meyer the second son of the Meyer family?"

"Could it be that Worms has a second family with the surname Meier?" for some reason, at this time, Malten regained some momentum, let go of despair and anger, maybe now is his normal state as a big businessman.

"How can you be sure that Glenn Meyer did this? You're not stupid enough to offend the Meyer family in Worms, are you?"

"Wait a minuteβ€”" Thor stretched out his hand to interrupt Morey's questioning, and he turned back and asked, "Old man, why don't I understand a little, what the hell is the Myer family?"

Malten glanced at Morey and said directly for him: "The Meyer family is the in-laws of the Conrad family, and they are as powerful as the Rose family in Worms. ”

After saying that, he stared at Morey again, and said softly, "But, you know a lotβ€”of course I wouldn't take the initiative to offend that Glenn Meyer, and I didn't say that he was the mastermind of this. ”

Seeing that the three of Sol, who seemed to be confused by him, did not open their mouths, Malten took the initiative to speak, and he opened the conversation box at this time, and he no longer had any scruples to simply shake it out.

"I was in the grain business in Worms, and I bought grain in Worms through various sources of information when I learned that there was a drought in that country, and then shipped it to that country to sell. ”

The fat merchant showed a look of reminiscence, squinted his eyes and said slowly: "The Meyer family is the largest and only grain merchant in Worms, and no one else is allowed to sell grain there except for their family, so we all buy grain from them and sell it elsewhere. ”

"Why do you have to buy food in Worms and not in other countries?" asked Saul, somewhat puzzled.

Malten looked at him helplessly and said:

"First, platinum amber has its own big merchant leaders in various countries, whether it is financial resources or connections, we small merchants can't compare with them at all, whenever there is a bumper harvest in the region, the grain is usually bought by them first, and then the Meyer family will buy it within the chamber of commerce. ”

The fat merchant's face was filled with envy and jealousy: "That's why everyone wants to join Platinum Amber." ”

After a pause, seeing Thor nodding thoughtfully, he continued:

"Second, there is no second city in the entire Wotan continent that has lower business taxes and more convenient transportation than Worms, isn't it for this reason that you came to Worms?"

Habitually twisting the wrench on his thumb, the fat man told Saul bitterly: "Although the price of the Meier family is a little higher, as long as it is sold to those places where there is a shortage of food, it can still make a lot of money, so there are many grain merchants attached to the Meier family in Worms." ”

When Saul heard this, he felt a little strange, and he asked Malten, "But when you say that, you are clearly attached to the Meyer family, how can you offend Glenn Meyer?"

"Offended? no, no, it can't be called offended at all, but I can only blame that I didn't have Dejan Serafondo for the money. ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and added: "Seraphim is a grain merchant like me, we both buy grain from Meyer's family, and every year he thinks that Fa can buy a little more, and the two of us usually have a lot of dirt, and he should be the mastermind in this matter." ”

"And what about Jason Spesa?" Thor continued to ask him, in exchange for Marten gritting his teeth in reply:

"He is the leader of the mercenary regiment, the Steelman Regiment, and this time it is the Steelman Regiment who is my escort along the way......"

The fat merchant was utterly furious when he said this, and he clenched his right hand into a fist, slammed the deck of the cabin, and shouted loudly:

"It's a conspiracy, it's a complete conspiracy, and I also said how could Glen Meyer be so aggressive, and he lent me money to buy more food, and he told me that Chateauroux was going to collect food, it was a planned conspiracy!"

He gasped, his round and big belly rose and fell, and he scolded in a hoarse voice: "I have never given half a cent less to those pirates every year, but they have come to sack me for the sake of a word from the Meier family, what four great ship kings, what pirate empresses, all of them are jackals who eat people and don't spit out bones!"

Hearing this, Thor probably understood, he looked at the fat man sitting in the corner of the boat with pity, and opened his mouth to ask him, "You still borrowed money from the Meyer family?"

As if it were a heart-piercing arrow, a word made Malten lose his vitality again, and his fat body leaned back again, answering Thor's question with action.

"I couldn't pay it back at all, I put all my assets on this deal - I was so greedy, I thought it was a good opportunity to make a lot of money......"

The fat man curled up, clasped his hands, and kept muttering to himself in repentance.

"Winnie, Anna - oh my God, I beg you if you can help me, my wife and daughter, oh my God, those guys are going to use them to pay their debts-"

Malten, who suddenly remembered his family, suddenly burst out of the ground, actually hugged Thor's leg and began to pray, and Thor had to tear his hand away before he could stand up.

He lifted the fat man from the ground with all his might, and made him stand in front of him, staring into the other's eyes, and Thor said calmly:

"There's no need to be so pessimistic, maybe there's a remedy?"

"What's the way?" Malten was also anxious at the moment, and suddenly thought of the possible fate of his wife and daughter, and he was anxious.

"I said, cooperation-" Seeing that he was in a hurry, Thor did not go around in circles, and told Malten bluntly: "We have some "new things" that should be popular and want to sell them to Worms, but we are not familiar with the place, and we have neither the market, nor the manpower to do business, nor even a place to stay, so if you can provide us with these, I think I can help you save your wife and daughter." ”

"But, but I'm going to have nothing left," said Malten in despair, "I borrowed three thousand golden roses from Glenn Meyer, and now even if I sell all my house, I won't be able to pay it back." ”

He went on to say to Saul, "Besides, neither Jason Spesa nor the pirates want me to return to Worms alive. ”

"Maybe we can discuss these things slowly and try to solve them. Thor stepped forward and patted the fat man on the shoulder, making him stunned.

"How?" asked Thor almost subconsciously.

Thor chuckled, reached into his arms, pulled out a rolled up golden pennant from his inner waist, shook it up and down a few times in his hand, and the small flag unfolded the flag, embroidered with a rose pattern with gold thread on the silver background.

"This thing should at least be able to delay for a while, right?"

Malten's mouth opened wide in disbelief, and he froze in place, and after a while, as if he had only come to his senses, pointed at Thor with his right hand wearing an emerald wrench, and stammered incredulously:

"You, what the hell are you?"
