Chapter 0196: Venturus Chamber of Commerce
In the end, Nock and Leo couldn't come up with a solution.
If it weren't for the River Thames running through England,
I'm afraid that Nock and Leo won't even be able to swim.
Not to mention water fights.
Nock had never been on a boat once.
Leo had one or two experiences, but the experience was very bad.
thereupon
As a result, the four women who saw the two of them the next day were stunned.
After all, two pairs of dark circles are so obvious on the faces of the two men,
It's hard not to get noticed.
"What's wrong with you two?"
It was Freya who spoke, and she was the only one who asked,
so that it doesn't seem so abrupt.
"It's nothing, the two of us are just discussing how to arrange the next trip to ensure your safety."
"Yes, after all, if we change to water, the two of us don't have any experience in fighting on a ship!"
Hearing that the two of them were actually bothered by this, Freya couldn't help but laugh.
"Giggles, so you're bothered by this.
Rest assured, although we decided to take the boat by water, there is no need to worry about safety.
Because we didn't rent a boat and go back by ourselves.
After breakfast, you will go out with me.
Fog City has a chapter of the Ventouus Chamber of Commerce, and they have water transportation services.
Basically, eighty percent of the water transportation business in Fog City belongs to them.
From Fog City to the Dynasty's water transport, they even have a trip every five days.
Therefore, the danger on this waterway line has long been cleared by their chamber of commerce.
Even if there are occasional accidents, they are under their control.
They have the closest transport ship to the strength of warships in the kingdom,
Not to mention the tiny Seine, even the ocean, they can conquer.
And the Venturus Chamber of Commerce has its own personal escort,
A high-level adventure party that is not weaker than the adventure guild.
The most important thing is that the Venturus Chamber of Commerce does not know what method to use,
Obtained the right to use the crossbow from His Majesty the King,
The bows and crossbows that the army knocked out were fed up with them,
A personal escort used to arm their chamber of commerce.
Therefore, the combat strength of their escort is not much weaker than that of the regular army.
It is even rumored that they are better than the regular army in small battles.
So, as soon as we buy a ticket to the Venturus Chamber of Commerce,
Basically, the rest of the road is not dangerous.
All you have to do is keep us safe on board.
After all, some boaters are quite capable of causing trouble. ”
Freya seemed to recall some bad memories and said more.
Listening to Freya's words,
Nock and the two were finally relieved.
Even Sister Sophia, who had been nervous by Nock's words, breathed a sigh of relief.
"So be it, let's go to the Chamber of Commerce together later,
Ask when there is a regular boat to the royal capital, and after buying a ticket,
Let's go shopping together.
Along the way, it's been a lot of hard work.
Today's consumption, I will reimburse. ”
"Yay!"
Before Freya finished speaking, Sophia couldn't wait to cheer.
As a result, she found that everyone but herself was looking at her with a smile.
She hid behind her sister Sophia in embarrassment, not daring to come back again.
"Alright, let's go downstairs to the restaurant for dinner first. The old station has a bad influence here. ”
As soon as Freya made the final decision, a group of people followed her downstairs.
After all, this is a luxury hotel.
Although it is said to be a hotel, it is actually no different from the star-rated hotels of later generations.
Many wealthy merchants and aristocrats settled here.
After all, Nock is not the only one who travels from south to north.
It's just that the news of the accident in the canyon fortress has reached the royal capital.
This also caused the caravans and travelers who were supposed to go south to stop,
I plan to find out some more accurate information and then continue south,
lest you encounter any danger.
Therefore, a group going north will not meet the southbound convoy on the road.
The group had a beautiful breakfast in the restaurant,
This made several people who had been sleeping all the way couldn't help but show expressions of enjoyment.
It's just that they are all handsome men and beautiful women, and even Leo, a middle-aged uncle, also has the charm of an uncle.
As a result, it attracted the attention and whispers of all kinds of people eating in the restaurant.
But fortunately, there is no picture of a brainless villain coming out to slap his face in the script.
Although some nobles are not used to the performance of a few people, they also resist the urge to complain,
Quiet to eat your own breakfast.
Not to mention Freya's clothes that only nobles can wear, let's just say that the evil aura that emanates from time to time on the bodies of Nok and the others,
It was enough to keep the arrogant aristocrats impulsive.
When you're out and about, no one wants to be clicked halfway.
Aristocrats are also human beings and are also afraid of death.
In the city there were also the laws of the kingdom to protect them.
Out of the city, no one except their guards dared to believe it.
But those so-called adventurers are not only powerful, but also unruly.
In case one or two rebel and gagged them halfway,
Wouldn't that be a unjust death!
Therefore, except for the fledgling hairy boy, no one will cause trouble when they go out.
Not to mention that Nock and his party are not easy to mess with at first glance.
Two men with four beauties, but nothing happened along the way, doesn't this show that the strength of the people is strong?
Even if it's not the strength of the six of them, it's the strength of the guards.
Therefore, if you want to find trouble, you have to weigh whether you are strong enough!
After eating, the group went out directly.
They inquired with the waiter of the hotel about the location of the Venturus Chamber of Commerce.
I plan to walk all the way to distract and eat.
Moreover, their carriage had already been handed over to old Filip to deal with.
The wagon with supplies had been disposed of by old Filip.
The two horses that were vacated were arranged by him in a luxury carriage.
As for the supplies, he also left some of them, and the excess was sold to the hotel.
Then he left early in the morning in his own carriage.
As for where she went, Freya didn't say.
The others didn't ask.
But Nock probably guessed the whereabouts of old Filip.
The old man drove his own carriage back to the royal city!
The speed of the "four-wheel-drive" carriage, plus solo travel.
As long as there are no accidents on the road, it is definitely not much slower than them taking the waterway.
Even, if the regular ship sails a few days later, maybe people can arrive in the royal capital earlier than them!
Sure enough, the old guy was hidden, and Freya knew it.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to let the old thing get on its own path.
Figured this out,
Nock became even more jealous of the forces behind Freya.
With the tiger, he must walk on thin ice and be more careful.
He can hide it from Leo, but he can't let Leo accompany him to die in vain.
That's sorry for the friendship between the two of them all the way through life and death.
The group, all the way to see a fresh found the Venturus Chamber of Commerce.
Looking at the palace-like chamber of commerce office in front of him,
Nock became interested in the Venturus Chamber of Commerce, which was said to be the third in the continent.
Only the third in the continent can have a crossbow in the Kingdom of France in defiance of the laws of the army.
It can also build a chamber of commerce residence that exceeds the specifications.
This is a privilege that even the Holy Church may not have.
This is only the third in the mainland, but what about the first two chambers of commerce?
Is it possible to rise above the kingdom?
This reminded Nok of the mysterious forces of the black market.
What kind of strength does the other side have in order to make all countries acquiesce in its existence?
Speaking of the black market, I have to mention one more thing here.
Originally, after the destruction of the "Danfeng White Dew", Nock proposed to use the black market to return directly to the capital of France.
However, this proposal was rejected by Freya.
Nock only learned that he had left the Lionheart Kingdom three years ago through the black market.
With the reform of the professional trade union in the mainland, only the warrior guild and the magic union remained.
The black market has also urgently issued a series of reforms.
That is, everyone who enters the black market will be given a ticket.
When leaving the Black Market, you will need to hand in the tickets issued by the Black Market.
This ticket will record the length of the holder's stay in the Black Market, as well as the entrance number to enter the Black Market.
Yes, the black market has numbered all the entrances they control.
Everyone can only leave from which location they enter the black market.
No one is allowed to leave any other position.
When this regulation was first promulgated, it caused dissatisfaction among the majority of the people.
But the explanation given by the black market is to prevent some adventuring parties or even disguised armies,
Exploit the black market to break into hostile countries to carry out illegal activities.
As soon as this explanation came out, various countries expressed their support.
Even the Adventurers' Guild expressed its support.
After all, the circulation of many goods has been blocked by the fact that the black market cannot be used.
At this time, the escort of the adventurer is needed for long-distance transportation.
This is a good way to increase business for the Adventurers' Guild.
The Adventurers' Guild naturally supports.
It's a pity that Nock doesn't know,
This change in the black market is still because of him.
However, we will talk about these in more detail later.
Straight to the point.
Freya took her group, and with the privileges of the nobility,
Soon with the help of one of the heads of the Chamber of Commerce,
I purchased a ticket for a regular boat.
However, the next scheduled boat to the royal capital will not depart until nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow.
Therefore, the group also needed to stay in Fog City for two more days.
So, Freya simply announced that they would be free to move around for the past two days.
Shopping where you should go shopping, Shopping where you should play.
She even gave each person five gold coins for the event.
This decision naturally received strong support from Sophia.
In the afternoon, Leo was dragged by the Sophia sisters to go shopping.
Nock had wanted to talk to Freya,
was told by Charlotte,
Freya went to visit some of the families in Fog City who had good relationships with the Tetamora family.
Nock can only be at Charlotte's invitation,
Accompany Charlotte out for a walk.
At this time, the two of them were holding a snack they had bought on the street.
Stroll through the sparsely populated streets.
Nock saw that Charlotte had something on her mind,
Immediately asked:
"Freya went to visit other nobles, and you, as her butler, didn't you have to follow her and serve her?"
Charlotte shook her head with a smile and said:
"Why should we play stupid at such times? I'm not going to hide it from you, I'm not Freya's butler at all.
It's just that she's approaching you in the name of her butler. ”
"No...... No way? Nock pretended to be surprised.
"What is your purpose in approaching me?"
Charlotte looked at Nock's face with a look of fascination, and suddenly reached out and hugged Nock.
This surprised Nock a little, and quickly looked around.
Although the two have reached the point of knowing each other's depth and length, this is the street.
Hugging and hugging is seen, but it is going to be poked in the back.
Even if it's serious, it's not necessarily impossible to go to the gallows!
"Charlotte, what are you doing, you let go of me, be seen, and the two of us will be finished."
