Chapter 25: The Guild Hall

Not long after Count Harold left, Count Mex.

Although Count Mex's arrival at the banquet and his departure did not take much time, and he did not communicate with anyone in between.

But the upper class of Ending City knows that Count Mexs is a supporter, or one of the supporters, of the Jonny Chamber of Commerce.

Coupled with Viscount House, who provided the banquet venue, it was obvious that the power of the Jonny Chamber of Commerce was not weaker than that of Earl Harold.

Although Count Mexs was only a court nobleman, he was previously the second-in-command of the Imperial Finance Department, the head of the four vice-ministers, and further the chief officer of the Finance Department.

As the second-in-command of the Wangdu Finance Bureau, except for the first leaders of several departments, it can almost be regarded as a high power.

2 years ago, he was officially appointed by the king as the lord of the Curtain City, and the nobles in the Curtain City have a saying that Count Mex is the nail and eyeliner of the royal family in the Fall City, in order to curb the growing strength of the lord aristocratic faction, that is, the Count Harold line.

With the departure of the two powerful Earls of Mex and Harold, the banquet is gradually coming to an end, and only a few merchants from the Icewind Kingdom are still communicating with Old Johnny.

These merchants are all giants in the sales of alcohol in the Icewind Kingdom, as the Ending City with the largest supply of various liquors in the Icewind Kingdom, and with such drastic changes, they must touch the bottom of Old Johnny more to see if they can share a piece of cheese in this storm.

"It's late to-day, so if Sir Johnny doesn't mind, stay with me for the night, I have plenty of wine here, no worse than old Jonny." Viscount House said to old Johnny after the banquet was officially over.

After finally sending a few old Johnny to test the bottom line, he couldn't help but hesitate when he heard Viscount House's words, because he knew that now the Johnny Chamber of Commerce was officially involved in the center of the power struggle in the Ending City.

It can even be said that the Jonny Chamber of Commerce is one of the fuses and centers of this storm of power struggle, and in the next few years, Old Jonny will always be on the verge of extreme danger.

Five years ago, he knew that Count Harold and several other territorial nobles were not easy people to deal with, and old Johnny at this time was estimated to be one of the people that the Harold nobles wanted to get rid of the most.

If you rush back to the entertainment area in the middle of the night, it will give the other party an excellent opportunity to assassinate.

"Thank you so much Viscount House for your help, I'm going to trouble you tonight. Old Johnny only hesitated for a moment before accepting Viscount House's invitation.

He knew that Viscount House's so-called wine tasting was just a euphemism, as the largest liquor supplier in Curtain City, the president of the Johnny Chamber of Commerce, who accounted for more than 80% of all the drinks transported into Curtain City, what fine wine had not been drunk?

"We're allies now, and that's as it should be. Viscount House smiled and replied, don't look at Viscount House's appearance as a gangster, he looks very straightforward.

In fact, the figure who can sit on the sheriff of a city, it is useless to rely on strength alone, without the corresponding scheming, even the king can only be a puppet that has been set up, obviously Viscount House's control of the security brigade shows that he is not as simple as just being straightforward on the surface.

The next day, after saying goodbye to Viscount House, Old Johnny and Barron did not go directly back to the tavern in the entertainment area, but went to the trade area.

Because from today, the chapter of the Joni Chamber of Commerce was officially established in the trade zone.

"How's it going to be here? Old Jonny said triumphantly to Barron.

The club's hall covers a large area, with a 10-foot-high wall surrounding the entire hall, and in addition to two large warehouses, there are also main buildings, dormitories, canteens, stables, toilets, etc., and even a small training ground built for the guards.

The original staff of the Chamber of Commerce in the tavern had already received a notice last night, and all of them had already moved into the club's hall and dormitory early this morning.

By the time Barron arrived, the chapter's hall had been cleaned by the Chamber of Commerce's men and guards.

"Very good, although the 10-foot-high wall can't stop the knight-level masters, but it is enough to resist ordinary soldiers, this location is close to the main road of the trade area, even at night, there are security patrols passing by, as long as there are 20 guards, there is no need to worry too much about security." ”

From the perspective of security, although the guild hall of the branch can only be regarded as average, considering that this is the trade area of the Curtain City after all, and it is protected by the security team, even Count Harold does not dare to do anything in the Curtain City, and the security is still guaranteed to a certain extent.

"I feel pretty good. Barron doesn't understand architectural design and can only give his opinion in general, but he agrees with Pande's words, safety first!

In fact, Old Johnny also came to this newly built hall for the first time, and the construction of the entire hall was arranged by Old Johnny to be in charge.

After all, the identities of him and the members of the Johnny Chamber of Commerce are relatively sensitive, and if they are discovered by Earl Harold's family, it will disrupt his plans.

"Let's go, go in and have a look. Old Jonny led inside, followed by Pander and Barron.

When Barron entered the hall, he found that the hall was not completely completed, and although the main building of the hall had been completed, there was hardly any decoration, not even a lot of furniture.

Barron didn't know why old Jonny was in such a hurry, and Barron had a rough guess about what Pande had talked to him about the other day.

............

............

A few days after the Chamber of Commerce officially moved into the guild hall, except for the many chambers of commerce of the Ice Wind Kingdom who came to visit one after another, everything seemed very calm.

However, except for the merchants of the Icewind Kingdom, only Viscount House and a few nobles of the same faction visited the guild hall on official business, and none of the rest of the upper class people in the Ending City came to visit.

Obviously, this does not conform to the rules of high society, and under normal circumstances, a branch of the top few chambers of commerce in the city will be established, not to mention the city, but at least it will not be as deserted as it is now.

Obviously, most of the nobles in Ending City are now watching, the Jonny Chamber of Commerce is now a whirlpool, and Count Mex's court faction has already played cards through the Jonny Chamber of Commerce, and the next thing is to see how Count Harold's family takes the cards.

Then it was time for the nobles to bet on the sidelines.

And that time won't be long.
