"This damn war, why don't we wait until we get back?"

"It's not going to start yet."

"What's the difference between this and already started?"

"That's right, we can't even do business!"

"If you want me to say, if you really start fighting after a while, you may even lose your life, do you still care about business?"

……

As the largest city on the continent of Westeros, King's Landing is not only populous, but also bustling with the port area of Blackwater Bay to the east, where trade thrives and merchant ships from all over the world are constantly flowing.

It's just that the signs of war have been revealed recently, and the place has suddenly become much more deserted, but it is not people who are deserted, but businesses.

Ships from the continent of Essos, large and small, were seized in the east, and the merchant captains complained about it, but no one dared to resist blatantly, and could only complain in private, but did not dare to raise their voices.

The Silver Deer Tavern, near the port, has always been a frequented place for foreign merchants, and the drinks here are not cheap, but they are very varied, from the sour wines of Dorne to the spicy wines of the North.

One of the many merchants who were seized, Bosser was sitting in the tavern at this time, drinking while listening to the chatter of the people around him, he was a wool merchant who bought and sold wool between the two continents for a living, but few people knew that he was also a devout believer in the black goat god.

The Black Goat is one of the nine free trade city-states, the main faith in the city-state of Kohor, he is known for his cruelty and blood, witchcraft, and has a bad reputation outside, so in order to reduce trouble, Bosser never mentions his faith to others.

This was originally done out of caution, but with the Iron Throne of Westeros beginning to clear the disciples a year ago, it was a great convenience for Boss.

Merchants with clear beliefs were forbidden to trade in Westeros, and there were no restrictions on the "untrustworthy", which made Bosser's business expand in an instant, and he made several times more money than before.

However, there is more to this than just profit.

Westeros's disciples were constantly expelled and killed, but some of the higher-ups did not give up the task of finding the door, as one of the few traders who could operate normally in King's Landing, Poser was co-opted by the rulers of Kohor, and somehow became one of Kohol's "spy chiefs" in Westeros, and each merchant was responsible for listening to some unexposed spies to report their work, and then reporting to the upper echelons through him.

Boss did not resist the work, as it was said to be in the service of the gods, and his family was in the city of Kohor, and he had no capital to resist. It's just that although he has been working for nearly a year, there has been no progress in his work.

In other words, the "door" they are looking for has never been eyebrow-raising.

This seemed to Bosser to be very normal, because in addition to this word, their clues were only a few people who were said to have come from behind the door, and the latter seemed to be in a ball now, and there was no way to make any more trouble, and the former was not a clue, and the doors they had smashed so far were not tens of thousands, but at least thousands, and they had not found anything.

So although he was still doing this job, Boss didn't have much hope of finding a door at this time, and his previous work was more focused on probing the situation in Westeros and all kinds of things, because the higher-ups wanted to start a war here.

Boss had little idea about the war, but the consequences of the war were that his business could not continue, his work was difficult, and his personal freedom was restricted.

He's annoyed by this, so he's been drinking in the tavern lately. But he's not here today because of drinking, but because of a clue about the "door".

The clue was discovered by a spy under his command, which seems to be very reliable, but the specific situation has to be investigated in detail by the leader of Bosser, or rather, he needs to use his identity at this time......

In the drinking room, Boss, who had been looking at the door of the tavern, suddenly saw a tall brown-haired man with a big waist and a round waist walking in from outside the door, so he immediately stood up and waved over there, and the other party obviously came to him directly, and when he saw this, he walked straight over, and then sat down opposite.

"Something brought?" After looking at each other for a few moments, Boss asked.

"Of course."

The brown-haired man replied, and at the same time placed a milky white bone fragment on the table, "Pure mammoth bones, only our specialty in the world, look at this color, it is different from ordinary bones, and it is much more beautiful than ordinary bones when used to carve objects." ”

The Great Han's authentic northern accent invisibly proved his origins, but Bosser didn't pay attention to this person's identity at this time, and instead focused all his attention on this bone fragment.

The size of a thumbnail on this bone fragment is not very inconspicuous, but when his eyes are on it, Boss instantly has a feeling of sudden enlightenment, this feeling is inexplicable, as if he has been trapped in the dungeon for many years, and the first time he stepped out of the dungeon door to see the sunlight outside, his mood suddenly brightened.

Or like a treasure that has been lost for a long time and is suddenly found in a corner, just seeing it is especially pleasant.

Faintly, it seems that a voice is constantly telling Bosser's heart: this is what you are looking for, this is what you are looking for......

Swallowing unconsciously, Bosser reluctantly took his eyes off the fragments on the table, and said in a calm tone: "That's it? ”

"More than one, of course." The big man from the north grinned, "There are many more on my ship." ”

"I'd like to see it." Boss immediately said, "If it's all in this condition, I'm ready to buy them all." ”

This one seemed to like it very much, and the big man rolled his eyes when he saw this, "Let's talk about it first, the price of 1 stone and 1 golden dragon, don't want to bargain." ”

1 stone is nearly thirteen catties, and thirteen catties of bones are sold for 1 golden dragon, it is simply a lion's mouth, Boss frowned when he heard this, and pretended to be displeased: "At least you have to let me see the goods first, right?" ”

"Of course, of course."

Seeing that he didn't bargain, the big man nodded happily, and then beckoned Boss to get up and go with him.

The two of them walked out of the tavern one after the other, walking in the direction of the large number of merchant ships moored at the docks, at this time the sky was overcast outside, and the fine light rain was sparse, but it could not stop the heat in Boss's heart, and holding the bone before, he vaguely felt that he seemed to have found the thing he had been looking for.

What has he been looking for?

The door, of course!

Unfortunately, when he was taken to a merchant ship warehouse by the big man, Boss's fiery mood instantly dissipated, and he stared at the pile of bones in the warehouse, but he did not find that the existence of the bones in his hand attracted him as much as the bones in his hand.

"That's all?"

Watching and looking in the dim environment without giving up, Boss couldn't help but turn his head sideways and ask, "Nothing else?" ”

"Too little?" The big man holding the torch to illuminate asked curiously.

"No, I mean......," Boss said, suddenly turning his tune, "where do these bones come from?" ”

"North, of course."

The brown-haired man replied, "These are the bones of mammoths, and only in the north can there be mammoths." ”

"Where?"

Boss asked.

"Why are you asking this?" Dahan asked vigilantly.

"I have to ask where it comes from, so it's easier to sell."

"Well, it's no secret either." Dahan thought for a moment and said, "In exchange for the group of savages outside the Great Wall of Desperation, if you want to ask the specifics, then I don't know." ”

"This piece was also exchanged for the wildlings?" Boss asked, spreading his hand, revealing the bone fragment he had just had.

"Of course," replied the big man, seeing that Boss was very interested, he couldn't help but say, "The savages over there are not just anyone who can do business, friend, they are very xenophobic. ”

Boss deliberately showed a touch of disappointment when he heard this, and then argued with the big man, and finally spent a golden dragon to buy more than ten catties of bones. But when he returned to the hotel where he was staying, he simply ignored the bone in the corner.

"Maybe I'm going to make a big difference." He muttered excitedly, sitting in his chair and intently observing the first bone fragment in his hand, the special feeling still lingering in his mind.

The fragment may have something to do with the "door", and he decided to take it to Kohor to meet the higher-ups, and if that was the case, then money and power would be called upon at a moment's notice.

It's just that...... How do you get out of here?

Boss had a headache.

The current port of King's Landing restricts the departure of foreign merchant ships.
