Chapter 124: Mercenary Guild
Spinning silk is not a matter of one or two days, but fortunately, Meng Han made a lot of money in the toilet business some time ago, plus some inventory he still has, which is enough to support him After paying the cost of the underground mercenaries, he can also maintain the life of Huangsha Town for a long time, and he does not have to worry about the gold coins in front of him for the time being.
Recently, Meng Han was almost immersed in the textile workshop, never leaving. Of course, this textile workshop is also inside the castle, which is very close to the lord's mansion of Meng Han.
The elves were very trustworthy, and from the day after Meng Han and the Luisa sisters made a deal, they sent people to deliver a large number of jungle spider silk every day. Looking at this large pile of raw silk, Meng Han was very surprised, he didn't know if these were the inventory of jungle spiders in the past, or if they were produced in one day. But these don't matter, the important thing is that seeing such a quantity, Meng Han's heart also fell to the ground, at least his own production experiment will never lack raw materials.
Racking his brains, Meng Han thought about the things produced by silk, and only remembered that silk had to boil the cocoons in boiling water and pull them out. However, that's silk, this is spider silk, I don't know if the method is the same, whether the effect is the same. Fortunately, Meng Han had enough time to experiment and was not in a hurry. He just mentioned the method, and as for whether it can be done, it still needs to be tested by experienced and skilled people.
Fortunately, a few days later, Meng Han saw the silk threads that had been treated with boiling water. White, soft, delicate, exactly like the silk in my memory. Unfortunately, Meng Han did not have the measuring tools at hand, and he did not know whether the strength and thickness of these silk threads were the same as those of silk. However, in memory, spider silk should be more advanced than silk, right?
The next thing is to use these silk threads to spin into silk. The textile technology is already there, but I don't know whether it is suitable for silk weaving, and everything needs to be tested before the results can be obtained.
After Alice returned, she immediately got in touch with some of the mercenaries in Huangsha Town, and then quickly found the people of the almost ubiquitous underground mercenary guild. After their introduction, Alice anonymously hangs a bounty in the Underground Mercenary Guild to harass Stormwind City. All of this, Alice never left Yellow Sands Town, and it was all done through the agent of the underground mercenary guild. After the last incident, Meng Han was no longer worried about the people around him going out.
It's not bad that money can make ghosts grind. The bounty is lucrative, the tasks are simple, and the jobs are the best sellers everywhere. Soon, Meng Han received Alice's report, and Stormwind began to be effectively harassed.
Meng Han was very satisfied, cutting meat with a blunt knife was the most painful. Anyway, the quarry is in his own territory, although it no longer belongs to him, but no one can accept it, this feeling, presumably Viscount Adrian of Stormwind City, must be depressed and want to go crazy, right?
The other party had already made a killer, so Meng Han's side had also strengthened his vigilance. The Elf Brothers and the Night Elf Brothers almost no longer participate in training, and spend their days scouting on the periphery of Huangsha Town, and will come back to report any changes as soon as there is any change. For the time being, Meng Han didn't worry much about safety.
The Dwarven Brothers have built five powerful crossbows in a row, and with the addition of the original one, there are already six. Meng Han gave two to Joey and Julie, and the other four to the Elf Brothers and the Night Elf Brothers. Several of them are more outstanding in archery, and they must be able to exert the power of strong crossbows.
Just as Meng Han was gearing up to kill the Quartet with silk, and at the same time watching the jokes of the Stormwind City Lord, Meng Han suddenly received a report from Grace.
"What? someone took the transfer document I signed and asked me to transfer the quarry?" Meng Han was extremely surprised, this was simply impossible: "Did Adrian send a large army? Why didn't Gavin come back to report?" "Being able to come to Huangsha Town under the blockade of the underground mercenary guild, Meng Han couldn't imagine any good way other than sending troops. Do they have masters? If there are such masters, they would have destroyed themselves on the way.
"Call Qiao and Zhu and go and have a look. Meng Han thought about it, and decided to see it with his own eyes. Since the discovery that silk could be made, the quarry was immediately reduced to a real building material, and in the future, the origin of the building materials of the White House, Meng Han was not interested in it. What's more, even if those people occupy the quarry, see how they mine?
With this kind of joke mood, Meng Han smiled all the way and followed Grace to the tavern in Huangsha Town. Outsiders have no right to enter the castle, only on the side of the old town.
As soon as he entered the door, Meng Han saw more than a dozen guys who looked very tough. In the tavern that was enough to seat more than 100 people, a large area was vacant, and there were more than a dozen people, and the people around seemed to dare not approach. However, the strange thing is that this group of people are scattered around, but there are two people sitting in the center, looking very elegant, a middle-aged man and a young man, each holding a glass of beer, sipping it elegantly.
"Lord Lord!" Seeing Meng Han appear, the mercenaries here seemed to know that there was a good show to watch, and they all gathered around. Fortunately, they still remembered Meng Han's prestige for killing the sand thieves, so they bowed and saluted from a distance, but they didn't get too close to Meng Han.
Seeing the people around them like this, how could the group of people in the middle not know who was coming? Besides, the magic robe was also very recognizable. The middle-aged man in the middle immediately stood up and greeted this side with a smile on his face.
"Lord Lord!" the same bowing etiquette appeared on the middle-aged man's body, indicating that he was only a commoner, not a nobleman.
Meng Han just nodded, and walked directly to their circle of people with the two little maids, as well as Qiao and Zhu. The other party put on such a posture, there must be something to talk about, and Meng Han was not worried about what the other party would do. Killing the lord on the lord's territory, unless he doesn't want to get involved, even if he is a member of the mercenary guild, he doesn't dare to commit such a taboo, how to deal with a lord in front of everyone.
After sitting down at the table in the middle of the two of them, Meng Han looked at the young man who had been sitting on his left hand side without getting up with some curiosity, turned to the middle-aged man on his right and asked, "Where is this adult from, do you need me to see him?"
As soon as the middle-aged man heard Meng Han's question, he knew that the little baron in front of him didn't care about them at all. Although they are considered the strength of the Mercenary Guild, they are not so cheap when they join forces with the Lord of Stormwind City to seize Meng Han's inheritance, and they still want Meng Han to greet him with a smile. Although from a business point of view, it may have been the quarry that the Mercenary Guild had bought from Adrian at a great cost, Meng Han would never believe that they would be ignorant of what had happened. At this time, he was forcibly inserted in the middle, making it clear that he wanted Meng Han to look good.
"This is ......" As soon as the middle-aged man spoke, he was directly interrupted by Meng Han: "I don't need to introduce his name, I'm not interested, I just want to know his title, and why he can still sit when I, the lord, are standing." ”
The young man's eyes widened, as if he was about to get angry. The middle-aged man frowned on the other side, stared at the young man fiercely, the young man immediately quieted down, didn't say anything, stood up, bowed to Meng Han, and then flashed directly into the group of people around him.
"Young people are not sensible, don't be surprised, lord. "At first glance, the middle-aged man often travels from south to north, and he has excellent self-cultivation, but he doesn't even have an angry expression at all when Meng Han is so pretentious, but he accompanies a smiling face.
"Well, is there something wrong?" At this time, Meng Han's face softened, and he smiled at the middle-aged man, and his speech became a little more mercenary.
"That's right, sir. The middle-aged man clearly understands the principle of making money with kindness, and his tone is very humble: "Our mercenary guild has opened a branch in Stormwind City, and we have come to pay our respects, and you will have to take care of our business in the future." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. The other party put on such an attitude, and Meng Han's face became very fast, as if what had just happened had not happened at all: "It is certain to take care of business." ”
"We learned that a group of thieves appeared on the road from Stormwind City to Huangsha Town, so we specially dispatched some guild pawns to clear this trade route for the adults for free, as our first visit to the adults. The middle-aged man's tone and attitude have remained the same as before, but the content of his speech has a more threatening flavor.
With the middle-aged man's words, more than a dozen people around, each of whom lifted a package under his feet to the table to untie it. Suddenly, there were more than two dozen bloody human hands on the surrounding tables. All the hands, all of them are right hands, and the blood stains on them show that these hands have not left the master's body for too long, at most it is more than half a day, and it is the time for them to rush from Stormwind City to Huangsha Town.
"We have eliminated all these thieves, and the trade routes have been completely opened. The middle-aged man's smile seemed to have a lot more inexplicable: "What's more, our guild bought the ownership of a quarry from Lord Adrian, the lord of Stormwind City, and it happens to be under the rule of the adult, so I came here today to take it over." ”
"No problem. Meng Han looked at those hands, and his heart was slightly startled. The mercenary guild is really powerful, and all the underground mercenaries hired by themselves have been purged. However, Meng Han's face did not show any abnormality, and he just said to the middle-aged man: "After we have determined one thing, you can hand over to my housekeeper." ”
"What's the matter?" The middle-aged man kept smiling, but there was a lot more of a victor in his voice, and he deliberately dragged out the question: "My lord!"
"Taxes!" Meng Han smiled: "Have you all forgotten that the property under my rule has to pay taxes to me." Let's now talk about the tax rate for quarries. ”
