Chapter 600
Red Blood Castle Wizard Association.
In the newly renovated main branch room, the black hair wizard is sitting in front of the window. From the balcony on the top of the wizard tower, you can see the newly established joint Chamber of Commerce construction site on the opposite side. It is recruited from the lower city area. The craftsmen who came are busy with the final finishing work.
This so-called "Union Chamber of Commerce" is not a branch of Eboden. It is completely independent in name but well known in reality. It is also a symbol of the collaboration between the Corona family and the Torino family.
The empire strictly prohibits private communication between duchy, and all interactions between the Great Family must be carried out with the permission of the Imperial Cabinet... This is also to ensure that each duchy is relatively independent. There is a situation where the alliance checks and balances the empire.
So for Eboden, it is not the first time for Eboden to help local lords form a local Chamber of Commerce and use a third party to achieve financial rights transactions. It’s just a little bit different this time. ...
The corner of his gaze glanced at him, put on an Eboden windbreaker and riding boots, and the expressionless little Yod was holding a cup of the ten-year "Nightingale" bought at a high price from Fort Storm. "The wine sipped.
Straight back, lightly squeezing the fingers of the wine glass, slightly raised chin... That meticulous action, as if sitting in front of him is not the son of a businessman, but the heir of a noble Aristocratic family. .
Of course, the value of this merchant is far more than that of any nobleman...Loren's gaze turned to the brand new gift box on the table behind him, inside which lies the four chambers of commerce, which is neat and tidy. Ministry’s bankruptcy acquisition documents, as well as a wine monopoly certificate issued by the local Lord Knight.
"These are just 1st Steps."
Holding a wine glass, Jr. Yod coldly opened the mouth and said, deliberately not turning his eyes to the black hair wizard beside him: "Come on Come down, wait until Eboden’s aid and funds are in place, we can truly control all the trade in the northern part of Byrne."
Just like narrating something about to happen, Jr. Yod’s voice cannot be heard. At the slightest wave, a calm gaze looked towards the Red Blood Castle Palace in the distance:
"With the support of the Torino family, it is only a matter of time before the Chamber of Commerce has a firm foothold in the Red Blood Castle, Chamber of Commerce will not do this kind of meaningless competition with us. Judging from the current situation, taking the Red Blood Castle as the headquarters and hub of the Chamber of Commerce, within almost three months, five commercial roads will be paved on the eve of the Midsummer Festival. One part of Byrne."
"Of course, so far is the limit of the current Chamber of Commerce development-three months time is enough to give the Chamber of Commerce a breathing opportunity to prepare Supply and funds are against us; they own most of the mines in the south, and we are not their opponents in terms of gold and silver reserves."
"Corona promised to give us enough supply and Funds, but you can’t rely too much on them and trust them... The overwhelming majority of Eboden’s free nobles, like the Red Blood Castle nobles, are nothing but clumsy. I believe they are no different from suicide."
" At that time, we will be ready to resist the opponent's counterattack...It is conceivable that in order to regain such an important trading node of the Scarlet Blood Castle, they will at all costs, and even encourage the entire Byrne count to fight against us; if it is true At that point, it is no longer a simple confrontation between the Chamber of Commerce, but a competition between the various Knight lords..."
From start to finish Loren did not say a word, silently While listening to Jr. Yod's endless talk, he filled his glass from time to time.
Until the voice fell, a smile appeared on the black hair wizard's face: "It's really hard for you. It must be very hard to get from Eboden to Scarlet Blood Castle in three months, right?"
"Otherwise?"
Little Yod asked with a sneer, with a trace of contempt in his eyes: "Now I am dedicated to working for you, can I still have a second one? The way is optional?"
"Of course, this is your own choice." Loren face doesn't change, shrugging indifferently: "If you want, you can still go back now."
"Yes, it's just that the price is to be broken into pieces by Governor Gaspar, and then become a traitor who betrayed the family and the Chamber of Commerce...I don't plan to do this until I have enough of my life. This kind of stupid thing; even more how ......"
Self-deprecating laughed, young York raised his right hand and opened his sleeves, a hideous black rune appeared on his wrist, fierce He stared at the smiling black hair wizard in front of him, and every word seemed to be gnashing teeth:
"As long as there is this, as long as you can know everything about me, I’m impossible to have any plans to betray you, don’t I...My Lord Loren Torino?"
Loren eyebrows raised: "This is just in case...and, strictly speaking, your allegiance The person is not me, but the count of the Corona family and the Scarlet Blood Castle. I am at most a Chief-In-Charge—so, you don’t have to worry about what I will do to you, when the time comes naturally ......"
"Not you?"
The voice fell, and the room suddenly fell into a certain atmosphere of silence.
The cold-faced little Yod turned his eyes slowly, with a meaningful look at the calm black hair wizard, his eyes were indescribably weird.
"Don't you believe it?" Loren looked at him.
Little Yod just curled up the corners of his mouth sarcastically, and sneered: "Cut...Don't be funny."
"I don't understand..."
"You all understand... No, it should be said that all of this was planned by you. From the moment you met me or even earlier, you were planning these... Loren Torino, I have to admit that what you did was really true. It’s very deceptive, and it’s easy to make people believe that everything you do is not for yourself."
"But how is that possible?" Jr. Yod narrowed his eyes: "Alliance with the Torino family , Using Eboden’s greed, dismembering the Chamber of Commerce, attacking Governor Byrne’s reputation...everything you do is the result of careful planning and arrangement, and everyone’s reactions and actions are in your expectations Among them, it was even deliberately induced by you!"
"Playing with so many forces and great characters to applaud, you guy...is really not ordinary arrogance."
Loren smiled helplessly at the corner of his mouth while holding the wine glass, and didn't take his words seriously.
"Since you already know about my...hmm...'Insidious Plan', why not tell count or Corona Master directly?" The black hair wizard shrugged helplessly: "This is my plan. Didn’t you fail?"
"Then risking being caught by you? Sorry...Do I look like someone planning to die?" sighed, Jr. asked mockingly. .
The black hair wizard frowned slightly.
"I won't be loyal to Corona or female count. You can rest assured about this."
Little Yod suddenly became serious, and suddenly stood up and stood in Loren. In front of him, put his hands behind his back: "For them, I am at best a tool to attack the Chamber of Commerce; once the Chamber of Commerce loses power, the value of my existence will be lost...there is no use value. The tool of "oh?" has no meaning to continue to exist."
"But for you...Loren ·Torino, it is completely different for you."
"oh?" Loren Curious laughed.
"You need a stable source of funds, and someone needs to take charge of the Chamber of Commerce for you-this person must not only have the ability but also be loyal enough; suppressing and even annexing the Chamber of Commerce is only the 1st Step. Next, whether you can really seize the actual control of Byrne is the key point. This is the real purpose of your coming to Byrne!"
"I can assure you that the joint Chamber under my control of Commerce will never become a vassal of Eboden, and there is only one person it loyal to!"
While speaking, Jr. Yod’s one-knee kneels fell to the ground with cold eyes and black hair. The wizard looked at each other: "I am not a very patient person, so please tell me the answer directly..."
"If at this moment, my Mato Yod formally swears allegiance to you... Are you willing to accept it?"
The air became stagnant again, and the two people facing each other were equally expressionless and motionless.
The calm black hair wizard squinted his eyes, with a faintly discernable smile on the corner of his mouth, and the cold-faced little Yod's eyes also exudes almost provocative eyes.
He is betting that the black hair wizard in front of him is not really unambitious!
The corners of Loren's mouth evoke a pleasant arc:
"Why not?"
