Chapter 216: A World That Only Thieves Know

There is a secret saying in the aristocratic circles of Lordaeron: If you are in trouble, don't panic, Ravenhold Manor will help you.

No one knows when Ravenhold Manor was founded, or how powerful the organization really is. There is a theory that most people have tacitly accepted is that Ravenhold Manor is also a legacy of the Arathso Empire, and that it was a metamorphosis of the secret organization of Emperor Soladin the Great.

However, these conjectures only circulated in the mouths of the great nobles, and had nothing to do with the Ravenhold Manor.

The Grand Duke of Ravenhold had in his hands a list of all those who deserved to be served.

However, all those who received the service of Ravenhold Manor knew nothing about the Grand Duke of Ravenhold.

So when the bald brother led a dwarf with a strangely dressed dwarf to Carlos, Carlos squirted out a sip of tea.

Nightfall Killer Outfit!

The Blade of Pain is equipped with a dazzling light!

"Your Majesty Carlos, allow me to introduce myself in Shimokashi. Ruofeng, business number 10086, serves you as the envoy of the Grand Duke of Ravenhold. ”

The dwarf said the scene in the business process seriously.

It was a normal self-introduction, a normal name, and a very common number, but after Carlos listened to it, the whole person was not good.

"Is Mr. Farad alright?"

Carlos asked with a straight face, holding back his sense of disobedience.

"Your Excellency, everything is fine, Your Majesty has bothered you."

Kakashi jumped up to hit Carlos' knee, but his voice was loud, or rather, the voice of a dwarf male was loud.

"Just stop the polite words, you all know what I want, but I don't know what you want. Now let's talk about it. ”

Carlos had always thought of Ravenhold Manor as a training ground for thieves.

Keeping the bald brother by his side was also after a long period of investigation, and Carlos thought that the benefits he had given were so thick that the bald brother would not betray him before he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. Even so, Carlos still has a second spy team to balance the internal forces.

However, it wasn't until yesterday's conversation that Carlos realized that he had underestimated the Ravenhold estate. Underestimate the natives of Azeroth.

Reads as Ravenhold Manor, writes as a super-large trust.

Finance, food, ore trading, magical materials, there are no projects that Ravenhold Manor does not interfere with.

From power-for-money trading to political brokers, there's nothing that Ravenhold Manor doesn't dare to meddle in.

"Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, you are so merciful. As long as you are ruthless in raising taxes and buying and selling titles, how can 500,000 gold coins stump Your Majesty. ”

Carlos suddenly had a subtle sense of dislocation, and it was time to finish the praise.

"But Your Majesty. You are really irrational, the army is about to go out, how can you pay the generals and materials, if the news is leaked, it will be a great disadvantage to the hearts of the army and the people! ”

That's it.

"However, it is precisely because Your Majesty attaches so much importance to credibility and commitment that you can make the soldiers work hard and the whole country is united in such a short period of time. Those who are not bold cannot do great things! ”

That's what you're going to do.

"Therefore, the Grand Duke authorized me the authority to trade in loans up to 300,000 gold coins. Ravenhold Manor is willing to solve problems for Your Majesty, with a monthly interest of three cents, to be paid off in three years. ”

"Hehe, why don't you grab it."

"It's not ...... Would you like to consult with Your Majesty? ”

The dwarf thief Kakashi let out a hehehe sound through his helmet.

"Kakashi, don't show off in front of me with the trick you did. When the old man lent money to collect the debts, you were still in contact with the silent sneak in, go straight to the bottom, His Majesty Carlos is a customer that the Grand Duke has specially ordered to take care of, you just put away that little bit of effort, Your Majesty will not lose your benefits. ”

The bald brother winked at Carlos. Carlos nodded.

So the two personal guards also left the secret room, leaving Carlos and Kakashi alone.

"If the wind blows."

"Your Majesty, if only you could call me Kakashi."

"Come, come here."

Carlos beckoned, motioning for the gnome to come up to him.

Kakashi wasn't on his first day on a mission, so he immediately untied his weapon and handed it to his bald brother, and then stepped forward.

"Give me the list of turnovers, and I'll give you ten percent afterwards."

Carlos lowered his head and seducted.

With a shortage of troops and a tight schedule, it was impossible for Ravenhold Manor to collect gold coins from out of town. 300,000 gold coins, even if they were privately minted, were of poor fineness, and they needed fifty cars and three sets of cars to transport.

A move of this magnitude certainly cannot escape Carlos's grasp.

So Carlos was sure that the hand of Ravenhold Manor was nothing more than to gather the idle funds in Alterac City, plus some hidden treasure troves and other savings, in order to gather the funds that Carlos needed in such a short time.

What seemed to others to be the mysterious and powerful energy of Ravenhold Manor was just that in the eyes of Carlos, who had been bombarded with information.

Isn't there such a saying, if you don't have knowledge, you can't watch TV.

Even through the mask, Carlos could see in the gnome's eyes that he was shaken and panicked.

"Your Majesty, what kind of turnaround?"

Kakashi implemented the policy of not panicking and forcibly pretending to be confused.

Guessed right!

Carlos smiled kindly, and it seemed that the matter was stable.

Stripped of the mystery of Ravenhold Manor, this transaction is essentially a financial loan on the gold standard. If the opponent's hole cards are cheated out, then the matter is stable.

Eventually, Carlos signed a loan contract for 150,000 gold coins at a monthly interest rate of one cent and five years to pay off, and at the same time used 150,000 gold coins to purchase the equivalent of the Autlant Treasury bonds.

The complacent Carlos asks the bald brother to send Kakashi away, but gets the other party's excuse.

"No, Your Majesty, I'll just leave by myself."

With that, Kakashi's wind-like man disappeared from Carlos' field of vision.

"Hey, this is the Chamber of Secrets, you thieves, always want to play tricks."

Carlos shook his head and left the room.

A moment later, Kakashi emerged from the shadows of the room, looking awkwardly at the bald brother waiting aside.

"Senior, give me back the weapon."

"Huh."

The bald brother smiled maliciously, and finally returned the Blade of Pain and the Dazzling Sword to Kakashi, and then led his younger brother out of Carlos's territory.

"How's it going, Uncle Brick."

In another chamber, Carlos asked about the bricks.

For the bald brother, Carlos is ready to use and defend, after all, the other party is a person from Ravenhold Manor.

"I didn't say anything all the way, and I went back after sending it off."

"Really?"

Carlos sighed, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart.

Kakashi, who had disappeared into the depths of the alley, put away his slackness, pulled out the glare, and pulled out a note from the hidden compartment at the bottom of the hilt.

[Tell the Grand Duke that we are cleared and the geese stay.] 】

Kakashi smiled disappreciatively.

"The self-righteous king, obviously you don't have to pay any interest, we are trying our best to stuff you with money."

As one of the executors of the plan, Kakashi. Ruofeng's status is much higher than he appears.

Carlos and his son took advantage of the war to collect the Hilbride title deed, but they couldn't hide it from someone who cares. Ravenhold Manor followed suit after gaining insight into the Barov family's actions, and also held a lot of title deeds in his hands.

The 300,000 gold coins in front of him were just an upfront investment, and Ravenhold Manor had never expected to make money on that little monthly interest, and the real big ones were the title deeds that had cut Hillbride to pieces.

Securing his weapon, Kakashi, who was like a second-rate crappy merchant in front of Carlos, contemptuously "cut" his body, and with only his superb basic skills, he used the magic of light and shadow to avoid all trackers and disappear into Alterac City.

"Young Master, this matter is very strange, it is likely to be sugar-coated poison."

As an archmage, as Carlos's personal magic advisor, Fang Brick has fewer taboos than ordinary people, and can't help but voice his worries.

"The whole thing itself is weird, I don't care, I don't care. The winner has everything, and the loser has no bones. As long as I can win, I don't mind if some parasite sucks some blood out of me. ”

Carlos was still watching the bald brother's movements through the crystal ball of the bricks, but his thoughts were already drifting away. (To be continued......)

PS: The pot in the background, I couldn't release it last night, so let's make it up this morning, and there will be it in the evening.
