Chapter 336: The Black Thorn Family

Boom!

Bryynchov was sitting in the room, pouring a bottle of honey into his mouth, when he suddenly heard a muffled sound, and the neatly arranged paper deeds and receipt letters suddenly collapsed with the sound.

Then, with a black face, Ellie walked out from behind the pile of papers

"I can see you're not very happy, ma'am."

"Like being hit by a wall that you never imagined.

What have you done during this time to accumulate so much stuff? ”

Picked up a letter casually, it looked more like an attitude towards the Thieves Guild, almost the entire Skyrim thieves were gathered under the guild's banner, so a small amount of protection money was issued to all merchants without background, either pay the money or bear the consequences.

Naturally, nothing happened to the person who paid the money, and if the store was also caught stealing or extorting a robbery during the protection fee, the perpetrator's head would be rewarded by the Thieves' Guild; And when he is caught, he will chop off his little finger and send it back with the amount of gold coins and items that were stolen.

Although it is very scary for most people, in a sense, the Thieves' Guild has taken on some of the duties that the original lord's guards should be responsible for, so some of the funds have also flowed into the hands of the sheriff, in order to maintain a very good time in the eyes of the Thieves' Guild.

Merchants who have not paid have a few opportunities to make up for it, of course, accompanied by the theft of their own belongings, the modification of their accounts, the extra dagger on their desk, or the friendly contact between their children or the elderly and strangers.

If he continues to die, the quality of the family's products and business credit will suddenly drop a lot, enough to make him lose any capital to continue operating, and then, the obedient broiler will take over his real estate, and as for what this broiler does with the rest of the industry, it is not their business.

But Blinkev did not intend to establish a merchant that was truly controlled by the guild, first, there was not enough money and qualified personnel to do so, and how many people who joined the thieves' guild understood that commerce and robbing houses were two ways of operating.

The second is that once this is done, the original true and false thieves guild will be completely put on the table, then the secrecy will be too poor, and for the thieves guild, it will be the same as the killer organization exposing itself.

The third is that the overly bloated Thieves' Guild will come to an end, and when it involves everything, it is when everyone wants to make a profit.

"How much can I earn?"

"There should be about 500 gold coins per day, but in order to maintain the health of the economy, it will basically be spent in the form of materials and loans, and generally only 200 gold coins will actually go to the guild."

It seems that Brinchev, who has dealt with Marwen a lot, has also learned from Marwen after having sufficient resources and controls the economic lifeline of Skyrim.

"So, how is your main business going?"

"Opened up the lines to all the cities of Skyrim, my lady.

All that is left to do now is to wait for the fruit to be conceived and for the guild to grow. ”

Looking at the nominally head of the Thieves' Guild, Ellie shook her head.

"Maybe, you continue to be responsible.

Also, Where is Marwen? ”

Even if it was an assessment of the Thieves Guild and an assessment of her organizational ability, she asked, and the other party didn't hesitate too much, and immediately said it.

"Ma Wen came back from Xueman three days ago, and went to find a blacksmith in the Genting District to build weapons, and brought back a lot of food to make wine by the way. According to the eyeliner we arranged for the Rift City Guard, she should now be in the prison of Rift City, educating her son. ”

"Very well, but what about the news about the Dragonborn?"

"There's a lot of news about the Dragonborn, and what we know so far is that she should be operating near the peak of Hogarth now, and the nearest red sky has something to do with her, as someone heard the roar of the dragon and the woman."

There were some gaps, but given the lack of understanding of the relationship between the Dragonborn and Ellie, she could actually understand it, which was already the best news understanding that humans could do.

“… It's a bit different from what I know, but it's well done.

Keep it up, the Empire and Stormcloak could have big moves. ”

"Thank you for the compliments and warnings, my lady"

With that, Ellie disappeared in front of Brinchev and slipped into her cell in the dungeons of Rift Valley.

There was no one in the cell, so the cell itself was unlocked, and Elle naturally pushed open the cell door, only to hit Marwen who had just come out of her son's cell.

Both of them were stunned, and Ma Wen first settled down and asked.

“… What are you doing here? ”

In order to communicate with her uncompetitive son, she deliberately drove away all the guards to wait outside, so for the time being, there was only their mother and son in this prison, but she didn't expect an extra Erli.

“......... I'm looking for you to discuss the Dragonborn and Rift City.

Looks like I need to give you some time, though? ”

"No, I can't let that kid out until I understand why he's locked up here."

"And you can see... He didn't have that realization. ”

Marwen would not and could not really physically punish her son, she knew that it would not be useful to him, so the patriarch of the Black Thorn family used his power to forcibly imprison him in a place where he would not be affected by the Black Thorn family, or at least not be allowed to escape by his stupid son who would take advantage of the family's reputation.

But it seems that this kid has no consciousness at all, just looking forward to going out all day long, continuing to do evil instead of inheriting the family business, from the black thorns on his lips every day after he was imprisoned, he knows his thoughts.

The reason was just that he fell in love with a girl, and after being choked by the other party's brother, he stabbed the other party to death.

“……… Naturally, there are times when there are corrections, and if not, it is not something you have to worry about.

What are you looking for me for? ”

"I need your connections in the Empire, a small favor for the Dragonborn."

“…… What the? ”

Ma Wen lifted her body up slightly, and her gaze, which was already higher than that of Erli, made her momentum even more aggressive.

But Ellie's next words didn't make her so calm.

"It's simple, a job that can be done by one person.

I need you to tell the people on the Empire's side that the Dragonborn is going to hold a peace meeting on the Hogarth Peak so that she can stop the fate of the Devourer of Worlds from devouring the world.

And as a reward for this messenger, you have a good chance of becoming the lord of Rift City. ”

“… Suzerain? ”

Marwen turned her hair with one hand, but her tongue played with the word.

"What do you use to guarantee that I will become a lord?"

"Because this peace agreement is a bargain between the two sides, and you, as the voice of the Empire, at this time, the seizure of Rift City territory is your role to play.

And for the sake of a short-term peace, the two sides will inevitably reach a stalemate, and with the support of Graybeard, the opinions she puts forward naturally have reference value.

So now guess who's going to take on the role of changing the minds of the Dragonborn? ”

According to Xiaobai's retelling, Erlie also spoke easily, she learned the other party's posture and looked at Marven Black Thorn who put down her hand.

The negotiations between the two sides didn't really do much, and the Dragonborn was the real presiding officer of the meeting, and whatever she said would have an impact on the lands of Skyrim.
