Volume 2: The Storm of Epalai Chapter 21: Meeting with the Traders

Dwarf Noé Clayle: "I said that our Principality of Casdilipa needs 500,000 tons of steel, not that I am going to sell 500,000 tons of steel on behalf of the Apalet Industrial Guild, you heard me wrong!" ”

Eldwezi almost wanted to cry, he knew very well that there was nothing wrong with his IQ, he knew that there was no problem with his ability to express himself, and he knew that when he spoke, he asked questions very clearly...... But he didn't know why the dwarf in front of him could hear him wrong, and he was able to talk to him with the duck, and at the last moment, he told himself that he was not the industrial envoy of Epalettes, but the industrial envoy of Castilipa......

……

Alberta asked a lot of people, and finally asked about Mr. Eldweziqiang Howard's location in the most prosperous part of the entire port of Epalai: 217 Trillis Street. When Alberta heard about the location of 217 Trillis Avenue, he almost cried...... The fruits of his training allowed him to hold back.

217 Trillis Avenue is the location of Alyssa's home...... But half a year later, the port of Epalai has become the territory of the Opperon Empire, and 217 Via Trillis is no longer the location of Alyssa's home. His ex-girlfriend, Alyssa...... And so he died tragically. He could still remember the moment before he fell unconscious, when the Molotov cocktail burned on his girlfriend's body...... He remembered the scene and he almost couldn't help it......

Alberta walked down the thriving streets, and he looked at the floods on both sides of the streets, and looked at the clear white clouds in the sky, and his heart was inexplicably sad. It was once the territory of the Capetian Merchant Free State. The people of Epalai work hard, are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and live happily and comfortably.

At one point, he was saddened by his girlfriend's breakup and that he was bought by his adoptive father with "a good fishing net bet." Once, he was still chasing the big fish, fighting hard with the big fish on the waves! But now, he needs to fight for his countrymen: the Epalayans, the bullied Epalays.

Alberta looked at the Empire in the distance, and he remembered the last time he looked at the "far away" on the streets of Epalai, when he held an old rear-loading bolt-action rifled rifle compared to the Empire, he saw "the distance under the flames of war". At that time, there was a danger of fire and death in the distance......

But now in the distance, the Imperials walk the streets with their toes proud, and the Epalai walk the streets like enslaved men, timid, and with apprehension and fear......

Alberta believes that all the prosperity that the Empire has brought to the port of Epalai is a hypocritical and false prosperity, a prosperity built on the blood of the Eppale people......

Alberta thought about it, and he had reached 217 Trillis Street. He arrived at the mansion at 217 Trillis Street, and when he entered the hundred-story building, he was indeed struck by the decoration of the prosperous building built by the empire: the ornate decoration, the exquisite shapes, the symmetrical and delicate patterns. He could almost recognize that the frescoes were the work of one of the most famous contemporary masters, Djervsky. Because only the master Djerfsky would use the characteristics of specific impressionist paintings. In particular, the frescoes painted on the walls, and even the decorations on the walls, are inlaid with walnut wood. The whole decoration looks elegant, high-end, and atmospheric...... There is a feeling of tassels flowing in my heart...... The whole decoration has a high-profile and high-spirited temperament......

But when Alberta came to his senses, he saw a great deal of unusual information in the building: the walnut and orange buildings were beautiful buildings built on the blood of the Epale people. And these high-spirited buildings seem to advertise the victory of the Opperon Empire in the war of conquest......

Alberta secretly loathed the building deep down......

Alberta walked deeper, and the silk wall hangings and inlaid carved panels lining the passageways of the building showed a different kind of prosperity. Alberta got on the elevator, and of course it was his first time on the elevator. While there is no shortage of power plants and electricity at night at the Port of Epalai, it is the first time to take an elevator in Alberta...... And the elevator is a rare thing that can only be produced in the Opperon Empire.

Alberta reached the 78th floor, and when he stepped out of the elevator, he was shocked by the interior of the elevator. Of course, in addition to the shock, deep in his heart, there was a deep disgust.

He was also amazed by the extremely fast construction speed of the Opperon Empire. He was surprised by one more thing: that is, the Opperon Empire has such a developed technology, and there are many merchants who trade with the Opperon Empire, why didn't they bring out the prosperous technology of the Opperon Empire? If the ironclad battleship was secretly developed by the Opperon Empire, why did so many merchants not bring the technology of the Opperon Empire, such as architecture, to other countries?

Alberta has been hiding the issue for the time being. He walked straight to the office room where the Eldway Guildmaster was. As he walked towards Eldvedzi's office, he heard the echo of elegant music coming from the building's passageways......

For a time, Alberta had the illusion that he was not under the brutal iron hooves of a wild beast invading other nations, but in the land of gentlemen and gentlemen of gentlemen.

Alberta really didn't know how the barbarism and gentlemanly demeanor could be blended together in just the right amount of twist.

……

Alberta soon crossed the building's corridors with famous murals on the walls. Came to Office 7865. 78 represents the seventy-eighth floor, and 65 represents office room sixty-five.

When Alberta came to the sixty-five office, he suddenly heard a terrifying roar from the office! Alberta was about to open the office door when he suddenly saw a short dwarf dressed as an envoy. Crying and running out of Eldvezi's office.

Alberta was stunned when he saw this handsome dwarf man! At a glance, he could tell that the dwarf "man" was a woman disguised as a man. Alberta is professionally trained in espionage and counterintelligence. He could clearly recognize that the dwarf was dressed as a woman. And Alberta also thinks that this dwarf is indeed very beautiful, and it is indeed rare to have such an appearance among dwarfs......

Alberta, however, was not shocked by the dwarf's disguised male outfit, but rather that he felt a natural kinship with the dwarf. It's as if this dwarf is like his own sister...... No, it's the general feeling of my own sister......

Alberta isn't sure why he's feeling this way. Alberta didn't pay much attention to it, he pushed the door open and entered the office, where he found a handsome human man, no more than thirty years old, with a slender body and a cunning face. The man was angry. And he kept talking to himself: "Nonsense...... What nonsense! This dwarf ...... Ay...... Bad my reputation, bad my reputation! ”

Of course, Alberta thought that the man was reproaching the crying dwarf who had just walked out......

Alberta, of course, decided that the man did not recognize that the dwarf was a woman disguised as a man. This dwarf is, of course, Noé Clay, the dwarf who has been debating with Eldwezi which guild envoy he is.

Alberta came up to the man in the office, bowed slightly, and said slowly, "Dear Mr. Eldwezi Howard? ”

The handsome man in the office was none other than Eldwezi. Eldwezi Howard was stunned to see Alberta dressed in elaborate clothes, a topper, and black and white leather shoes. Hold the staff of civilization. He could tell at a glance that Alberta was in his early twenties. This man's decoration must be an Oledka person,

Eldved was stunned for a moment, and said secretly in his heart: "The lackey merchant of the Empire...... Not to mess with! You must pay careful attention, and unless there are exceptions, I will resolutely not do business with the people of the Empire. "It's not that Eldwezi loves the Epalai people so much, because he is not an Epale himself, he is a native of the kingdom of Kolonla. The Kingdom of Kolonla was also a member of the Hanseatic League in the Southwest.

Of course, it's not that Eldvedzy has any kind of compassion and kindness, and when he sees the Imperials invading the port of Epalai, he will not give the Imperials a trade quota...... It's because Eldwezi Howard is a man of little guts. He doesn't cooperate with the Empire because he doesn't want to cause trouble...... Because the empire was in a period of expansion and invasion, the people of the empire relied on their superiority in force and warships, and they were also arrogant and unreasonable in business. And force to buy and sell. If the trader of the trade guild had given them the price and helped negotiate the trade, in case the empire reversed itself, then the other side of the trade would not be able to provoke the empire, and would have caused trouble for the middleman, Eldwezi.

As a result, Eldwezi, who was reluctant to trouble and timid, really didn't want to cause trouble, and he knew how shrewd the Capetian Merchant Freestates were, not because he hated the Capetian Merchant Freestate, but because he hated the Oledka. The Oledecka people are a city in the Capetian Merchant Free State. Therefore, these Oledeckers use the power of the empire and the "lackeys" of the empire to act recklessly. Coupled with their already shrewd minds, none of the traders of the Guild Masters would like to trade with the Oledeckas.

But Eldvezzy was measured, and he thought that with his incorruptible tongue and shrewd mind, he could fool the Oledka man in front of him and leave......

At this time, Eldwezi Howard saw Alberta's greeting, and he immediately stood up, and said very friendly, "Yes, Eldwezi Howard is down there!" What do you need, Excellency? ”
