Chapter Eighty-Nine: Shirk?
The sight before him made Clematis. Bott felt pity, and she whispered with a pale face, "What a pitiful! ”
"Pitiful indeed!" Barrett verbally agreed, but at the same time, he had another thought in his heart, "This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Big 6, and I don't know Clematis when I see more of it. Will Bot still be as pitiful as he is today? ~’
Captain Warburton, who had been leading the way in front, suddenly stopped: "After tonight's disaster, Walter Harbour doesn't know how long it will take to regain its old laughter. ”
"Don't worry! Those civilians were far stronger than they now appeared. Time will slowly erase their wounds and reunite their broken families. As long as Viscount "Golden Thorn Bird" can provide them with help after the disaster, and at the same time ensure their safety. A qiē will be fine. In order to add credibility to his words, Barrett added: "My hometown of Safir, in the city of Shafir, experienced a similar disaster more than 2oo years ago. It was also regained in a few short years, but it took a little more time for the population to recover to its heyday. ”
"I hope Yiqiē can show up as you say!" Captain Warburton, who had a slightly calmer expression, continued to lead the way in front.
The administrative area of Port Volta is not large, and the space left for these civilians to take refuge is not large, except for the space occupied by the individual buildings. So along the way, players still need to pass through the black crowd from time to time. Fortunately, the small administrative area also makes the player's trip extremely short, and it takes less than 1o minutes to reach the administrative center here.
Because the Kingdom of Ethasia defined Walter as a port town, the building in front of him could only be called a town town. And as it is called. The Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" also built it into the appearance of a wealthy town mansion first.
Unlike other buildings in the borough. There is no superfluous decoration on the walls, doors and windows of this town office. In the firelight, the red wall tiles and terracotta tiles are integrated. The gaps between the bricks are a few points closer, making it difficult for even a sharp blade to insert.
The tall bell tower forms the left side of the town hall, and the black metal gate glows blue under the arches made of large stone bars. On the first floor, where only the ventilation holes remain, the cross-shaped windows on the second floor seem to tell the people that this is a simple small fortress - although the weathering marks in the corners show that the building has not been well maintained.
The strong contrast makes Claudia. Auditore opened his mouth wide: "The style here is too different from the rest of the borough!" ”
"The Viscount has never liked extravagant decorations." Captain Warburton became a little indignant when he said that, "But this is the only place in the borough that can be decided by Lord Viscount alone......"
It seemed that Captain Warburton had a posture that he couldn't stop, and Barrett immediately interrupted: "Mr. Warburton, we're going straight in now!" Let's wait for someone to pass it on. ”
"No need to pass it on! The Viscount is really leading people to wait for you inside! As he spoke, Captain Warburton stepped forward and showed some iron plaque to the two soldiers guarding the door. Then he pointed to Barrett before gesturing upstairs.
In a few moments, the metal door was pushed open from the inside. Players are led into the game by Captain Warburton. But at the moment of entering the door, Barrett and his party met the tall dwarf who was about to leave in the hall.
It seems that the negotiation between this and the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" was not successful! Looking at the tall man's expression, Barrett immediately had a judgment in his heart.
The Warlord's formidable power, whether it's storms, quicksand, or lava, is the object of the nobles' eagerness to woo. It's just that even the name has the word "lord" in it, and they often have an extraordinary status among the dwarven clans. This makes it not easy to poach them from their own kind.
The Shield Axe Tavern owner in front of him was different. According to what Barrett heard, he had been in charge of the tavern for at least 1o years. War lords who are separated from their own clans and left alone are often the product of political struggles. Many of them are incompatible and will not be able to return to their original clan for the rest of their lives.
Comparatively speaking, it is much less difficult to recruit them.
However, judging from the current situation, the negotiation between the owner of the Shield Axe Tavern and the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" did not seem to be successful. I don't know if it's the price code given by the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird", this tall dwarf can't look down on it. The dwarf in front of him has not given up hope of returning to the clan, and does not want to become the "big hand" of the foreign clan.
Barrett, who had staggered his shoulders, gave him a deep look at the powerhouse who had shined in his experience. Then, as if he had never been born, he followed Captain Warburton up the stairs.
Several players who were ushered into the room immediately heard the voice: "Thank you so much for your contribution to our Port of Walter. I have seen your efforts just now, and if it weren't for your heroism, my kind people would have suffered even more. ”
In Barrett's eyes, a silver-haired old man appeared. Although judging from the introduction of Captain Warburton, the one in front of him is only in his fifties. But the overwork had taken a toll on his health. Whether it's the silk that has lost its color or the wrinkles on his face, it's his actual age.
After the other party's words were over, Barrett immediately beat his chest and said, "Lord Viscount, thank you for your compliment!" Today's battle is a war between intelligent beings from the main plane and invaders from the extraterrestrial plane. In this war, I have a duty to be a member of the Boreham family. ”
Although the expression of the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" did not change much. But Barrett instinctively felt that after reporting home, the other party seemed to show a hint of disappointment.
With Barrett's action, a group of friends in the team also introduced themselves. It's just that the reaction of the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" is as elusive as before.
As if he felt that the temptation to beat around the bush was no longer necessary, the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" suddenly asked straight to the point: "Mr. Boreham! What are your plans and your companions for what's next? ”
"Claudia in our team. Auditore and Clematis. Miss Bot is now in the midst of a trial. We will next need to travel through the kingdom of Aetasia to the east, where to complete the next mission. Barrett's face remained unchanged and he said what he had planned.
"The trial mission of the goddess of wealth and commerce? Or is it a task given by the Repulse side? Viscount "Golden Thorn Bird" touched his chin, then turned his body sideways and said, "Envoy Esmunger." I think it's time for you Battelle League to show your sincerity.
"Balth's League?" Barrett's face changed when he heard this. At the same time Claymatis. The expression on Bote's face also became extremely surprised.
The Battle League is one of the top three business conglomerates in the West, and in a sense it is also a powerful trust group.
This is because the economies of most of the countries of the Western 6 are often based on the manor system, with a single product and low production efficiency, which often makes it difficult to make sufficient profits on their own.
By joining the Battle League, the raw materials produced in those countries could be sold on foreign markets at a higher price, and foreign imports of better quality could be obtained.
At the same time, the surging import and export taxes provided a stable and reliable source of revenue for the national treasury, so countries welcomed the Battelle League to open trading posts in their countries.
It can be said that with the activities of those merchants, many lords and kingdoms of Western University 6 have gained great commercial benefits after establishing commercial relations with similar organizations such as the Battle League.
However, in this chaotic world, a pure economic alliance cannot survive for long. At a very early stage, the Battelle League evolved into an economic-political-military alliance. In fact, there are a large number of independent cities that have joined the alliance for commercial gain or security.
According to the announcement, the merchants of the cities were protected from the oppression of certain feudal lords when they joined the League.
Any city that arbitrarily arrests members of the League, distrusts the Alliance, or sells stolen goods from the Battler League's merchants will be subject to the Battle's trade boycott.
Citizens of one city in Battle can receive a fair trial in other cities and can appeal to any city for help if they are harassed. Of course, in order to ensure this benefit, it was forbidden for any merchants who were not members of the League to trade with each other in the League's bazaar.
However, in the case of reciprocity of rights and duties, members of the Battle League must abide by the terms of the League. and conscientiously fulfill their respective obligations, otherwise they will be expelled from the alliance after certain conditions. Merchants of these expelled cities or organizations will lose their privileges in the various cities of the Battle Alliance, and those who do not leave will be arrested and their goods confiscated.
Repulse City is a member of the Battle League, and the relationship between Boreham Territory and this commercial alliance is also very close. As for the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce, it has an inexplicable relationship with them.
If Viscount "Golden Thorn" really has the support of the Balt League. It will be extremely troublesome for players to try to excuse themselves.
