"Da Da Da!"

In the Governor's Mansion in Kohor City, Anronkorn sat on a shadow made of white oak with a relaxed face.

At this time, Anronkorn could no longer see the obscenity and timidity of the previous small merchants, and in this gorgeous governor's palace, he even seemed a little familiar and had a bit of aristocratic temperament.

Antillor sat in a wooden chair made of red oak, one arm supporting her chin, and the other arm resting loosely on the magnificent armrests set with ivory gold gemstones, tapping lightly on the armrests.

Antillor was a white man in his fifties, his hair was gray, wrinkles were spreading on his face, his muscles had completely loosened over the years because of his pampering, and his beard, which should have been as gray as his hair, was dyed black, jumping and jumping with the stirring of his lips.

He wore silk of great value, adorned with precious stones and jewels, and he carried a ring on each of his fingers. There are those in yellow gold with rubies, and there are those with sapphires, and there are those with diamonds...... Of the ten rings, no matter how valuable and beautiful the others were, they were no match for the one on his left ring finger.

Because other rings can only symbolize wealth, although wealth is beautiful, but wealth without force protection has no value, a thief can wantonly plunder and seize it.

And that ring is a symbol of power!

It was a black ring, a ring made of black Valyrian steel, and on top of that ring was inlaid with an obsidian. This is not something that has been handed down from ancient Valyria. Rather, after the establishment of the city-state of Kohor, it was newly minted by melting down the tiles and steel ornaments of the past.

This ring represents Kohor's pride.

Today, Valyria is completely destroyed by the apocalypse. The casting method of Valyrian steel has long been lost, and only some ancient weapons have survived. Both in the Western Continent and in the Eastern Continent. Only the craftsmen of Kohor have mastered the art of recasting Valyrian steel, and they are among the best and best in the world, wherever they are placed.

At the same time, the ring also represents the rights of Kohor.

It has been passed down from generation to generation by the Governor.

Antillor is the current governor of Cohor.

As one of the most powerful people in the Free Trade Alliance, there aren't too many things in this world that can stump Antillore. And now, the people in front of him and the things at hand can undoubtedly stump him.

Look at the man in front of you. A stocky businessman. For this merchant, Antillor's heart was filled with contempt. This is just an upstart who happens to have good luck, and if it were normally, this man would not even be qualified to meet him and kiss his boots. But now, this person is sitting opposite him, discussing business with him as an equal.

It's not because of what kind of power this person has, but behind this person, there is a power that Antillor can't ignore.

"Aaron Cohen, I'm worried." I pondered for a long time. Antillor finally spoke.

His voice was loud, but it was full of worry.

"I've heard that Drogo's army is 100,000 men." Antillor's voice was fearful but fearful, and who could not be afraid?

True, Kohor once defeated the Dothrakis. But that was more than 400 years ago. What's more, the Karasa led by Temocao in that war was far less than the Karasa led by Drogo today, in fact, the Karasa led by Temocao was less than half of today's Drogo.

Such a huge force. How could Antillor not be afraid?

"If Drogo knew that I had bought the Unsullied on behalf of his enemies, he would have taken revenge."

"But first. He had to defeat Titankao, didn't he? ”

Oh, yes. Titankao!

Antillor thought, it's all because of this guy.

The Titankao is definitely not a Dothraki, because the Dothraki will never do business, let alone think of buying the Unsullied!

Everything is because of this person, and the changes in the Dothraki Great Grass Sea make the hearts of all the governors of the Free Trade Association hang. Antillor felt that if it weren't for this Titankao, then nothing would have developed into the current situation.

Drogo Kao is strong, but he is not a very ambitious Kao. Drogo Kao was clearly more willing to accept bribes from the Free Trade Alliance than to plunder and annex. In fact, in Pantos there was a seaside villa built by the Governor for Drogokao, where he occasionally lived.

Because Drogocao was the most powerful Kao in the western region of Dothrak, and because Drogocao was a Kao who did not have much ambition, Drogocao guaranteed the relative stability and peace of Dothraki.

Stability and peace!

God knows how much businessmen like these two things.

"My lord." Anroncohen's tone was humble, but there was a vague hint of toughness: "I think you know very well how brave this Titan Kao is. ”

"Are you threatening me?" Antillor frowned: "Governor who threatens you? ”

"Of course I wouldn't dare so, my lord." An Long Cohen said humbly, but he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. Unlike this noble governor, Antillor knew nothing about Anronkorn, except that he was a small merchant who could not be put on the table, a lucky man who was hit by a pie falling from the sky. Anroncohen knew the governor very well, so he knew that the noble governor was actually afraid, otherwise he would not have said these words at all.

"I mean, it's not wise to provoke the wrath of such a guy. Whoever it is, whether it's the Titankao or Drogo Kao, Kohor shouldn't be their enemy. ”

Antillor nodded, and that was true.

Although Kohor had defeated Temocao who had come here from Dothraki all the way to burn and loot, this did not mean that Kohor was willing to accept the test of war.

You must know that the Free Trade Alliance is essentially a business union, and there is nothing more terrible in this world than the danger of war to business. Think about it. Because of the war, everything that was produced in the workshop. All of a sudden, there are no buyers, how cruel it would be. What a horrible thing.

"More importantly, my lord." After carefully observing Antillor's expression, Anronkorn struck the railroad while it was hot: "That Kao, he once conquered a Karasa alone, and he once defeated ten times his enemies with two thousand men. Now he has more than 10,000 people, and Drogo has only ten times as many people. How do you know if he will once again defeat ten times his enemies, as in the Battle of the Bloody River. ”

"So, he's a much more dangerous enemy than Drogo Kao." Antillor said without hesitation: "Who knows what he will do after defeating Drogo, maybe he will turn his head and attack Kohor!" ”

He swore in the name of the god of horses. My lord. ”

Antillor pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Well, my lord, as we have seen, he is not a real Dothraki." Anronkorn spread his hands helplessly.

Everyone knows what a real Dothraki looks like.

Strong physically, rude in words and deeds, simple-minded, tyrannical and arrogant.

This is the orthodox impression that everyone has of a typical Dothraki.

So the oath he made in the name of the god of horses was insincere. But ......" At this point, Anronkorn sat up, his look and attitude indicating that what he said next was very important: "Before I came here, Titan Kao had already given him his chips. He will ensure the unimpeded passage of all of Kohor's caravans on the grassy sea of Dothrak, and if anyone dares to plunder Kohor's caravans, the Titankao will take the most brutal revenge on them. as a condition. He will collect taxes on all goods that enter Dothraki. ”

"Oh!" Antillor stroked his beard.

It's a good proposition.

But it's just good.

But...... If he could protect the interests of the Kohor merchants and ensure that they would not suffer financial and even human losses as a result of their walk on the Dothraki Sea, it would be a beautiful feat for his satrapship. What's more...... The most powerful and powerful merchant in the whole of Kohor is precisely the governor of Kohor. Antillor himself.

"Tax rates?"

"This is negotiable." Anlon Cohen smiled and said, "For the sake of the friendship between Kohor and Dothrak, Titan Kao has proposed that certain chambers of commerce in Kohor can be zero-rated. ”

Antillore's beard curled.

He knew very well what certain chambers of commerce in Aaron Cohen's mouth represented, in the whole of Kohor. Who else but themselves is eligible to claim this zero-rated benefit?

But. He understood the subtext of Aaron Cohen better.

In order to obtain Titankao's promise to ensure the safety of the merchants of Kohor, it is necessary to ensure that Titankao wins the war that will determine the hegemony of Dothraki in the east. And want to get this zero-rated benefit. It's up to you to see what kind of price you can pay to impress the inscrutable Titan Kao.

"I can help, help him contact the good lord of Astapor, and provide ships to transport the Unsullied, but it's just a personal act." Antillor emphatically stated: "Kohor will remain strictly neutral in the rest of the war, and will never join either side. ”

"That's enough, my lord." Anronkorn stood up with joy as countless jingling golden gadgets would fall into his pocket in this business: "In addition to this, the Titankao needs eight hundred pairs of armor, five thousand scimitars, ten thousand sackcloth, and some other goods. ”

"Of course, it's all a personal act. Business is business. ”

"Very good, business is business. It's such a big deal, I think I should celebrate it with a glass of wine. ”

"That's right, my lord."

Antillor took out two glasses, poured the wine into the glasses himself, and handed them to Alon Cohen.

"I wish us all the best in business."

"Business is going well, my lord."

"Ding Dong!"

The gold-cast, gem-encrusted cups clashed together, and the bright red liquid in the cups stirred.

The sound was so pleasant to hear both to the ears of Anronkorn and to the ears of Antillor.

What happened in the Governor's Palace in Kohor was only the tip of the iceberg of what Alon Cohen experienced during this time. Since becoming Liu Jian's spokesperson, Alon Cohen has experienced everything that she could not have imagined in the first forty-five years of her life, talking and laughing with big businessmen who could influence the policies of the city-state, being on an equal footing with the governor of a city, and talking about huge businesses that he had never dared to imagine before. All the merchants who wanted to get his beautiful gold from Liu Jian, the powerful and wealthy Titankao, lined up to scramble for him.

All of this changed in just two months.

If there is anyone in this world more than Liu Jian who does not want the forces he created to be defeated, then An Long Cohen is definitely one of them.

The cautiousness of a small man and a small businessman made Alon Cohen understand very well where all his current power and status came from. He understood even more that once Liu Jian was defeated, he would immediately become a guest from the governor's seat, and the fragrant bait in the eyes of the merchants would become the worthless small merchant again, and the halo and glory that was now entrenched on him would quickly evaporate.

Of course, the most important thing is wealth!

Merchants are hungry wolves, and once a merchant is satisfied with his wealth and relaxes, he will soon become a fat pig in the eyes of other merchants.

And he, even more.

He doesn't have any forces that can protect him, and all his security is pinned on the strength of the Titankao, and on the jealousy of the Titankao by the Free Trade Alliance. Once the Titankao was defeated, he knew that the merchants would pounce on him like a pack of hungry green-eyed wolves and tear up all his possessions, and the Governors would not hesitate to sacrifice his head to the mighty Drogo Kao in order to improve their relationship with the most powerful Kao in the western part of Dothraki.

Therefore, when he and Kohor reached a deal about the Unsullied, he was very happy, because it not only meant that he had completed another big deal, and that countless golden cuties had fallen into his pocket, but also that his life and property were further safeguarded.

When he reported his itinerary to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian smiled and said something he didn't understand.

"Now America is on our side."

"I'm right, the capitalists will sell the noose that hangs them, as long as they feel they can make money." (To be continued.) )
