After Barron's purchase was completed, the remaining few people also took this opportunity to exchange some of their equipment in the arms trading market. Then the group returned to the tavern.

After inviting Pan De and Baker to have a simple lunch, as a thank you to Pan De and others for their help, the small purchasing team was disbanded.

Baker and Adam took advantage of the fact that they didn't need to train in the afternoon, and walked towards the entertainment area of Falling City shoulder to shoulder, and it was estimated that they would not come back until midnight.

Barron didn't know when Baker had such a good relationship with Adam, and he complained about Adam when he was on duty a few days ago, but now he actually hooked up with each other.

However, Baker was able to be accepted by Adam's small circle, and Barron was still happy for him.

After the group had left, Pande dragged Barron to the tavern bar for a drink, apparently he had something to say to Barron.

Of course, this time it was Pande who invited him, and Barron's last assets were completely empty when he had just invited him to dinner.

"Two glasses of green fruit wine!"

Qingguo wine is a kind of mid-range wine, not as strong as kale and dragon burn, but this sweet wine is full of stamina.

"Tomorrow there will be a banquet hosted by our Chamber of Commerce, and the location is borrowed from the mansion of Viscount House in the aristocratic quarter. Pande said.

"Do you need me to do anything?" said Pander to Barron about the banquet tomorrow, and it was clear that he had something to do.

"We don't have to worry about ordinary security work, there will be security patrols on the periphery at that time, and Viscount House's personal guard inside the mansion will be in charge, and of course, there will be our people in some important positions. Pande took a sip of wine and continued.

"Originally, if it was an ordinary banquet, there would not be any major problems, but tomorrow old Jonny has a big event to announce, and he has been planning for this for several years. ”

"What's the matter?" Barron asked curiously.

"Old Johnny is ready to establish a chapter of the Johnny Chamber of Commerce in Ending City again. ”

"Again, old Jonny used to establish a branch here, why not now?" Barron felt that there was a lot of information in Pande's words, but he couldn't fully understand it.

As Pande slowly introduced, Barron gradually learned about the situation of the Jonny Chamber of Commerce.

The main business of the Jonny Chamber of Commerce is in the sales and operation of various liquors, and the Icewind Kingdom in the north of the Nader Kingdom has always been a big consumer of various spirits because of the constant wind and snow all year round and the cold is abnormal.

Even the lowest-grade rye wine can be sold for 2 or even 3 times more expensive than the Nader Kingdom in the Icewind Kingdom, and high-end wines like kale and dragon burn can be exchanged for the same volume of gold.

Barron made a preliminary calculation of the various liquors they transported this time, and if the price of the Icewind Kingdom was followed, all the goods would be worth at least 5,000 gold coins or more!

However, all the trade routes with the Icewind Kingdom's wine, iron, and food, which were important resources, were all in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce controlled by the four major families of the Ending City.

Except for these four chambers of commerce, no one or group was allowed to sell wine, iron, or grain to the merchants of the Icewind Kingdom.

Moreover, these four chambers of commerce have privately set up mutual aid associations with the intention of suppressing the price of goods received and increasing the price of goods sold.

In this way, the wine transported by the Jonny Chamber of Commerce to the Ending City can only be sold to the four major chambers of commerce at a low price, and although the profit earned will not be less than that of selling to other places, the bulk of the profit is intercepted by the four major chambers of commerce.

The Four Great Chambers of Commerce don't have to do anything, as long as they guard the only trade route between Curtain City and the Icewind Kingdom, they can have a steady stream of gold coins in their pockets.

"Why do we have to go through the four major chambers of commerce, can't our chamber of commerce itself trade with the merchants of the Icewind Kingdom? As long as the price is lower than the four major chambers of commerce, there will definitely be merchants from the Icewind Kingdom to cooperate with us." Barron asked curiously.

"Liquor trade license!" Pande said angrily. "Only the four major chambers of commerce have a trade franchise certificate for wine, iron and grain. ”

"Trade franchise license?" Barron asked.

"Yes, the four major chambers of commerce have great influence in the Closing City, 10 years ago, let the Closing City pass some commodity monopoly bills, such as liquor and other extremely profitable commodities are basically within the scope of the franchise, and these trade franchise licenses are all in the hands of the four major chambers of commerce. ”

Pande drank as he slowly explained the situation to Barron.

Five years ago, the elder Jonny established a branch of the Joni Chamber of Commerce in the Curtain City, trying to enter the core of the Ending City and seek a liquor trade franchise license, but he failed.

The reason for the failure was the joint suppression of the four major chambers of commerce, they did not allow anyone else to share their cheese, and as a result, Old Johnny not only did not get the franchise certificate, but even the chapter that was established with great difficulty was completely destroyed in that turmoil.

In addition to the chapters, Old Johnny himself and the transport caravans were threatened and attacked, and several caravans were attacked and plundered by horse bandits. If it weren't for the fact that the headquarters of the Jonny Chamber of Commerce was in Maple Leaf City, and the whip of the four major chambers of commerce could not reach it, it was estimated that the headquarters would be attacked.

Under such circumstances, the Jonny Chamber of Commerce, which was greatly damaged, finally had to withdraw from the competition in Ending City, and signed an agreement with the four major chambers of commerce to never establish a branch in Ending City.

"Now that old Jonny is preparing to establish a chapter, shouldn't such a thing be done in secret? Barron looked around the tavern bar, this didn't seem to be the place to talk about such a confidential matter, and the bartender who had brought them the wine was not far away.

"First of all, you are the vice captain of the guard team of the Jonny Chamber of Commerce, and you are also a member of us, you are qualified to know about this matter, and you are also one of the important combat forces on our side, we need your strength. ”

"Second, Old Johnny has been planning for years since that failure, and he can't wait. ”

"Thirdly, this tavern is also one of the secret industries of the Chamber of Commerce. Pande said, picking up the wine glass in his hand and toasting to the bartender not far away.

The bartender also waved his hand when he saw Pande's gesture, which was a kind of hello, and then continued his bartending work. "He was my brother when he was a mercenary, but he was seriously injured later, so he was arranged here by old Jonny. ”

"What do you want me to do today when you tell me so much?" Barron asked again.

"Your mission is one, from tomorrow the banquet starts, to protect old Johnny during the 24 hourglasses throughout the day, and ensure his safety!" Pande said with a solemn expression to Barron, putting down his glass.

"No problem, I'm happy to accept the assignment. Barron said.
