"But, sir, will the elves make such a decision?" Alice was still deeply worried. After all, she knew that the lord and the elves did not have such a deep friendship. Every time, they used the lord's things.
In exchange for the support of the elves.
"Sometimes, even enemies have to find ways to take advantage of them." Meng Han couldn't help but express his thoughts, but he immediately woke up. Fortunately, the people around him didn't pay attention, and they all thought he was explaining the truth.
Rather than really saying that the elves are enemies.
"Also, Alice, whether the elves will make a decision or not is a headache for me. You just need to do your job well." Meng Han immediately followed up with this sentence to cover up his mistake just now.
"Sir!" It was okay not to say this. When she said this, Alice almost cried: "This time, our goods worth tens of millions of gold coins were all seized by the Lord of Stormwind City. My lord, I did not do a good job."
"It's not your business." Meng Han saw that Alice was about to lose control, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. He didn't care about so many people, and gently pulled her to his side, and stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face:
"They came for me, for our industry. It has nothing to do with you, which is why I must form our own army. It has nothing to do with you, really, Alice, it has nothing to do with you."
"But, sir, now that it's like that, what should we do in the future?" Alice quickly stopped the tears that were about to flow out. Meng Han's words quickly made her think of a more terrifying possibility, and she couldn't help asking worriedly.
: "The Lord of Stormwind will confiscate anything that belongs to us and detain anything that belongs to us. What should we do?"
After Alice's reminder, Joey and Julie, who had some outside experience, also looked at each other. Their faces couldn't be seen under their helmets, but they didn't look very good when you think about it. People who have followed Alice out will naturally know that.
The key here is that no one said anything and looked at their lord quietly, waiting for his decision.
The geographical location of Stormwind City is very advantageous, almost blocking the throat of Huangsha Town leading to other parts of the principality. Last time Meng Han was thrown down by Count Mars after passing through Stormwind City. In the future, if Huangsha Town's
If the caravan wants to pass through Stormwind City, it is estimated that the Lord of Stormwind City will definitely accept all the goods.
"We won't starve to death for the time being. We weren't afraid when we didn't have enough to eat before. What are we afraid of now?" Meng Han turned his head and looked at Stormwind City, which was far behind him, and there was a look in his eyes like
A breath as sharp as a sword.
"Alice, when you get back, announce a mercenary mission in the tavern." Turning around, Meng Han began to give orders without hesitation: "Find at least two hundred mercenaries and ask them to spread rumors throughout the principality."
"Rumors?" Alice asked very puzzledly: "What kind of rumors?"
"Tell them that they are not allowed to go to Stormwind City. As long as they go there, even if they are just passing by and not doing business, the goods they carry will be confiscated and the people will be detained." Meng Han ordered as he walked: "Especially
To make these words spread to the ears of businessmen everywhere, the bigger the noise, the better. If others don’t believe it, just use our example and say that even the lord of Huangsha Town is no exception, and others don’t need to think too much.”
Listening to Meng Han's words, Alice and the people around her looked at each other in confusion. Is it useful to spread rumors like this that are not rumors?
"Why, do you think you can't deal with them just by talking, are you afraid it won't work?" Meng Han saw the expressions on Alice's and the others' faces and knew that Alice didn't know much about this kind of thing, so he smiled slightly: "Don't worry.
Come on, do as I say. You are also in business yourself. If you heard that Stormwind City was such a place, would you go?"
"No!" Alice shook her head decisively this time.
"Then no one else will go." Meng Han continued to reason with a smile: "When all the merchants don't go, I don't see how Stormwind City can improve. Ordinary people can take care of their own food and drink. Those nobles can't go."
I see where the gentleman can buy the things he enjoys."
"He can send someone outside to buy it." At this time, Alice turned back into a somewhat shrewd housekeeper and immediately thought of a way.
"Then I will hire a group of mercenaries. As long as they come out of Stormwind City, whether they are frightened or actually robbed, they will be blocked by me." He said as he walked, as if two people were arguing.
Meng Han explained how to deal with it.
"What should I do if I can't beat you?" Alice's face seemed to change, and she asked again. Joey and Julie next to her had already known how to separate the guards from the front and back.
Menghan and Alice debate these issues.
"If you can't fight, just run away." Meng Han spoke without any dignity of a strong man: "How many people can come out of a caravan? They can't always be heavily guarded, right? I have been a thief for a thousand days, but there are no
The principle of guarding against thieves for a thousand days is that even if you can't defeat them for a while, how long can they last if you follow them and harass them every time you take a chance? Besides, the gold coins for the goods they carry are much more than our commission. People die for money, and there are many people.
I want to touch them."
"Sir, what if the city lord sends a peak swordsman?" Joey next to him remained calm, but he directly interrupted.
"Peak Great Swordsman, hum!" Meng Han snorted coldly: "If the Lord of Stormwind City only regards the Peak Great Swordsman as his purchasing manager, then it is up to him. Pass it out to him and see who else is willing to come.
He is here."
He hummed, but Meng Han also had a deep fear in his heart. Although he didn't know how powerful the peak swordsman was, Joey and Julie were just junior swordsmen. If they really opened their mouths,
Killing someone might be very troublesome.
"Alice, you have been out for a long time. Do you know if there are people who kill people for money?" Meng Han was silent for a while and kept thinking. No one disturbed him, and they all stayed with him quietly until
Meng Han asked again.
"My lord!" Alice exclaimed, seeming a little surprised, but the adult's question still had to be answered. After thinking about it, she answered with some uncertainty: "I really hope I have heard of it."
"Yes, sir." Joey next to her answered closely after Alice. Joey and Julie had been outside longer, and they themselves were in the mercenary industry, so they naturally knew this.
"Oh? Tell me." Meng Han immediately became interested. Originally, he did not plan to use a killer. However, the peak swordsman posed too great a threat to him, so he had to make more preparations.
Joey had no reservations about Meng Han and quickly told them what they knew. In this world, mercenaries have mercenary guilds, and mercenaries with a little bit of success will usually take missions from the mercenary guild.
.Only those mercenaries who are not on the stage will go to taverns around the country to see if there is any work they can do. Moreover, mercenary guilds are not found everywhere. A branch will only be established in a big city with at least 50,000 people.
.Neither Huangsha Town nor Stormwind City is qualified to establish a branch of the Mercenary Guild.
As for the killer Meng Han mentioned, he is not a member of the mercenary guild, but the service scope of the underground mercenary guild. The underground mercenary guild is different from the mercenary guild. The mercenary guild only accepts those innocent and serious tasks.
The underground guilds have three religions and nine streams, and they will take on tasks as long as they pay for them. Most of the official mercenaries are generally members of the mercenary guild, and they will also check out the underground guilds to see if there are any suitable tasks.
, this is already a recognized rule.
The matter of murder and fire prevention is naturally not a legitimate business, but is traded in underground guilds. As for the inside story, Joey and Julie have not really been exposed to these businesses and are not very clear.
"As long as you have business." Meng Han's eyes also lit up. If he can't beat you, he will use gold coins to find someone to smash you to death!
When the group of people returned, the city lord Adrian was very happy with the transfer document signed by Meng Han. The profitable quarry was finally his own. When he thought of this, a look appeared in the eyes of the city lord.
Big pile of gold coins.
While the Lord of the City was feeling complacent, his attendant came in from the outside, looked around, and whispered into the ear of the Lord of the City.
"What?" The Lord City Lord jumped up: "Is there a mistake? He is a baron who has fallen from power, and I heard that he is an abandoned disciple of magic. How can he be a magician?" As soon as he said this, he realized it himself.
He lost his composure and hurriedly lowered his voice: "Did I make a mistake?"
In the heart of the city lord, he wished that the news was wrong. If the guy who had just seized the property was a magician, then things would not be so easy to resolve.
"Sir, it's true. Those mercenaries said that before setting off, they saw with their own eyes that the lord used two magic spells to blast a big hole in the ground." The attendant looked at the expectant eyes of the city lord and said,
He said these words that made the city lord almost collapse.
"He is a magician? What should I do?" Adrian really hates those mercenaries now, why didn't he tell him the news earlier. However, now that the matter has come to this, there is no way to undo it. Replace Meng Han with himself
, and will not let himself go.
After panicking for a while, the Lord of the City cast his eyes on the transfer document again. On one side was a gold coin worth tens of thousands, and on the other was a magician that no one knew about yet. The Lord of the City finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.
made your own choice.
"Send someone immediately and take a shortcut to catch up with them." The Lord of the City looked at his trusted servants and said his order: "After catching up..." he waved his hand and made a killing gesture.
