Chapter 12: New News from the Imperial Capital

Edson and Pryushkin, two big businessmen, are pulling the merchant group to earn gold coins again.

When the news of the fall of the Floating City came, they were really worried for a while.

But later, the strong declaration of the ideal township in the three magazines of the goblin magazine.

Declared Count Violet, still in strong control of the ownership of the ideal township.

This dispelled the worries in the hearts of the two big businessmen.

After all, if the territory changes hands, they will lose their current advantage.

The new lord may have his own cronies.

Will leave the trade to other merchants.

Moreover, the benefits that Ideal Township has brought to Bedson are no longer just pearls.

Multi-ethnic cultures present tremendous business opportunities.

Some of the items that were previously only available from goblins can now be traded in Bella's Ideal Village.

Moreover, the cost is much lower than the price on the Goblin catalog.

Such a magical town is nothing short of a miracle.

And the person who created this miracle is named Charlie Violet.

Hydson didn't think that with a different aristocracy, the 'ideal town' would still be what it is today.

The merchant always dealt with all kinds of nobles, and he knew too well the greedy face of those nobles.

It has to be said that Count Violet is a 'breeze' among the nobility.

Edson kept urging the caravan forward.

He is like the rabbit in "Alice in Sleepwalk", who rushes to the tea party.

Only when he saw the well-preserved ideal township could Heidson breathe a sigh of relief.

And behind them, Pryushkin is like a dogskin plaster that cannot be shaken off no matter what.

However, a mercenary ranger rode his horse in the opposite direction.

He is a member of a mercenary squad hired by Hydson.

"Front...... Something went wrong...... "It's not the first time this mercenary ranger has been here.

They escorted the caravan here three times.

But three times in a row, the changes here can startle him.

Hydson was frightened.

He staggered off the carriage, pulled over a horse and rode up.

He drove the pack horse to gallop after the ranger who led the way.

It wasn't until he could see the majestic walls rising from the ground that he tightened the reins and let the horse's hooves hover.

The mercenary in charge of the pathfinder spoke with difficulty: "I remember that the last time I came here was an incomparably huge pit......"

After a while, Heidensen barely came back to his senses, "Last time, this was still a high mountain." ”

"Let the caravan continue on its march, we should have arrived."

……

Now, the arrival of the merchant group is no longer enough for Charlie to bother.

After all, she's a VVIP partner of the goblins.

The world's strongest middlemen are not better than these, and the business group that comes at most twice a month works?

As long as the merchant group doesn't give her what happened last time, she won't come forward.

Of course, in the evening, a reception dinner is still essential.

Attending a dinner party at the castle for the third time, Heidson thought he would be much more relaxed.

However, most of the delicacies at the banquet table had only been known by name, but he had never tasted them.

The Emperor may have enjoyed these delicacies.

But the emperor would not have the luxury of entertaining a merchant who had no aristocratic status with these delicacies.

The elven bread made by the island elves costs three gold coins for one piece alone.

At the banquet table, everyone is using this as a staple food.

And none of them showed any heterochromia.

This shows that they have become accustomed to seeing at the banquet table, these expensive elf breads.

A green cheese called Death Cheese once made Heidson doubt his life.

Why is a bar (about 10 ounces) of cheese so expensive?

He had seen it on the goblin list, and it was said that a piece of cheese was as high as 5 gold coins.

At this time, a red-robed arcanist at the table directly picked up a piece.

Spread it on elven bread and bite into it.

Half of the cheese and bread are gone.

The merchant couldn't help but calculate an account in his heart: 4 gold coins in one bite.

There's also a lantern lemon salad, a carnivorous vine vegetable soup, and the dungeon's 'famous dish' of the thousand worms stewed with shrielling mushrooms......

Such a dazzling array of delicacies on the table really shocked Hydson, who had eaten the palace banquet.

At the same time, he also developed a strong sense of crisis.

Obviously, relying on them alone, Ideal Township can't afford such a table of food.

Where did the ideal township get so much money?

The answer must be on the dinner table, that damn greenskin!

Oh! Damn goblins!

Are they going to make every copper plate on the continent?!

As we staggered, Heidson noticed that the number of seats at the table had increased.

Elves, dark elves, dragonmen......

God, it's a 'race fair'.

Such a strange combination, let alone working together, is to be able to sit peacefully at the same table, which can be regarded as a 'wonder of the world'.

However, this is the norm in Ideal Township.

Charlie's closest position, to the right, is a purple-robed Grand Arcanist.

But on the other side, it was replaced by a handsome man with long silver hair.

He replaced the black-robed Grand Arcanist who had been sitting here.

Charlie routinely asked:

"What is the status of the goods purchased by the merchant group here last time in the imperial capital?"

Finally finding an opportunity to speak to the earl, Edson gushed out.

From how he came up with the idea of classifying pearls by quality, to the aristocrats competing to be the first to snap up A-grade pearls.

also slapped Charlie's ass by the way.

Of course, it is also an indisputable fact that pearls are sought after by the upper class.

During this period, there was no shortage of Pryushkin, who had the courage to tear off Heidenson's hind legs or something.

In this regard, Charlie just turned a blind eye and did not see it at all.

The competition between these two, she likes to see.

The two big businessmen chatted and talked about one thing.

"You may not believe it, an A-grade pearl can actually make two marquises quarrel, hahaha!"

Big businessmen are funny.

Charlie was all entertaining, listening to the gossip of the nobles of the imperial capital.

"Speaking of which, do you remember the pale pink pearl you bought from you last time?"

Charlie picked up the dessert wine in front of him and took a sip.

"Of course, I hope that pearl will sell you for a good price."

Heidensen said: "Originally, the mother of Lord Fry, the Marquise took a fancy to it. ”

"But, later, your mother, the old Countess Violet.

She found me and mentioned you.

I went to the door and consulted with the Marquise sincerely.

Fortunately, the lady was reasonable and did not blame me.

So, I gave the Pink Tears to your mother!

Haha, I hope you don't blame me for 'overstepping' behavior. ”

Charlie slowly lowered his glass.

The faint smile on her face vanished.

Charlie never expressed his displeasure with the lady in public.

But that doesn't mean you don't know.

Anne, the maid of the castle.

The maid, who had 'betrayed' the old earl's widow, probably had the most say in the ins and outs of the matter.

And Anne is in a relationship with Serre.

It's no surprise that Serge knew.

And, Serge knows, will it be far from Kana knowing?

You know, on their days off, the sevens often go to the tavern to get together and have a few drinks.

If you drink too much wine, you will inevitably have to leak your mouth.

Accidentally, let Kana, the 'little trumpet', know.

Thereupon......

At this point, there was a dead silence at the table.

Even if Hydson poured a bottle of Lao Baigan before, he should have been frightened to sober up by the sudden change in atmosphere.

Originally, Pryushkin also wanted to say that he also gave the lady a lot of pearls.

After all, he is the one who is most eager to improve his 'image'.

But as soon as he saw the atmosphere, he shut up in amusement.

Silently buried in the food room, all as if he was a transparent person.

However, Charlie leaned back in the high-backed chair with his fingers against his temples.

"Pryushkin, have you also been blackmailed by that woman?" Charlie's words were faint, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

Pryushkin's eyes rolled twice, "Uh, yes, that lady gave me an invitation, and I thought of your kindness, so I came to the door......"

"That lady is circling around pearls in and out of her words, what can I do?

Poor Pryushkin could only give the lady a box of pearls. ”

"I'm full, you can go on."

Rarely, Charlie got up and left the table before the banquet was over.

The silver dragon Antanaron had wanted to follow.

But he was glanced at by the black dragon.

He sat back in his seat.

There is no need for Heidson to ask questions.

After Charlie left, the table exploded.

Everyone, like you, I began to denounce the countess.

The amount of information is enough to solve the puzzles of the two big businessmen.

With a knife and fork in hand, Antanaron continued to enjoy the food on the table unhurriedly.

But he memorized these words word for word.
