Harvey is a city located at the foot of a mountain. There is a huge rocky mountain behind it, which can produce the best stone in the world. Although the industrial chain is relatively simple, before the mountain is hollowed out, This city will always be full of vitality. Businessmen from various cities and countries come here to transport stone materials out in an endless stream.
Generally speaking, the streets of most cities are mostly dirt trails, but Beta replaced almost all the streets and surrounding roads of Tonggu City with stone roads. But most cities, even the Sanctuary of Light, have mostly dirt roads and trails, but Harvey is different. The rules of the city are well done, and the streets are very wide. In this way, the whole city of Harvey is very beautiful and very atmospheric.
"It's even more beautiful than our well-established Bronze Drum City." Shirley walked on the street, a little surprised: "This city is more than enough to be used as the holy city of our Wojin Temple."
Beta smiled: "Then we will build a more beautiful and magnificent Woking Sanctuary than this city in the future."
While the two were talking, they found a hotel to stay.
Jessica followed Beta, awed and surprised by the city. Because she had never been to Tonggu City, she didn't know how exaggerated a city made entirely of beautiful stone materials would be.
Although the reserves of gold bricks in the beta space are only about half, he is still a rich man. He stayed in the best hotel in the city and ate the best food.
As a commercial city, the consumption level here is very high. With his handwriting, he would spend three gold coins a day. As a player, Beta will definitely not treat himself badly in such a place. After all, players come from the information age, and those who can afford game cabins are above the well-off level, and have certain requirements for basic necessities of life.
Outside the hotel named 'Aster Flower', several ordinary-looking people left one after another. Not long after, all the forces in this city became clear that Harvey, a big man came.
A noble spellcaster, an unbelievably beautiful woman, and a maid who seems to be the embryo of a beauty! This combination can easily go wrong.
When going out, beauty is a burden, and the more beautiful the more danger, but the other party knew this, and still brought the two women with him, and did not bring guards, so it was obvious that they must rely on something. Whether it is their own strength or power, it is their own confidence.
Beta was having dinner with the two girls, suddenly he frowned, and said with some doubts: "It's strange, we seem to be being targeted by someone, what's going on?"
It turned out that under Joan's vision, Beta saw some people leave first, and then about an hour later, more people gathered around, pretending to be ordinary people, beggars, and staying next to the hotel.
These people have followed Beta quietly since they first entered the city. If they didn't come to monitor Beta and the others, then things would be strange.
However, Beta discovered that they were just monitoring and had no other actions. Then Beta made a mistake, not so much as monitoring, but as being on guard, as if he was guarding against a very powerful person, or someone who would come to disrupt the situation.
Generally speaking, such a situation is mostly related to the changes in the city. For example, two parties, or even several parties, are fighting for certain interests, but everyone has similar strengths, forming a delicate balance. But if another force comes from outside at this time, then this force will definitely affect the already balanced urban ecological system.
In the game, Beta has seen all kinds of open and secret battles among the nobles, so he can roughly see the current state of the city based on his own experience.
Shirley smiled and said, "Maybe it's the trouble caused by me and Jessica."
Beta, who understood this, smiled and shook her head: "It's not like that."
Shirley pretended to be annoyed and said, "Does the master mean that our Jessica is not beautiful and cannot arouse the interest of other men?"
Beta chuckled, ignored Shirley, and started to concentrate on eating. Women are creatures like this, and if they get messed around, it will be quite troublesome. The best way to deal with them is to ignore them.
Sure enough, Shirley continued eating helplessly after a while.
After lunch, the three of them rested for about half an hour before leaving the hotel and heading straight to the city's chamber of commerce.
Every big city will have a chamber of commerce, a special business organization. More than three hundred years ago, the Chamber of Commerce was under the management of the Temple of Woking, but now... not many people know about Goddess Woking, and the Chamber of Commerce has long been independent.
Although the current chamber of commerce has autonomy, it has also lost its protection. The former chamber of commerce was under the command of the Wojin Temple, although they dared not say that they were at ease, but no one dared to bully them.
But now, the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce have to endure layers of exploitation by nobles, black forces and other organizations. It is not easy to make some money.
The chamber of commerce in the city of Harvey is very grand. The six-story stone building already has the embryonic form of a castle. People who don’t know why, seeing this building, will naturally lament the wealth of the chamber of commerce, but Beta has seen the chamber of commerce. .
There were not many people coming in and out of the chamber of commerce. Although the guards were relatively strong, their eyes did not have much momentum. Instead, there was a bit of resentment and helplessness. Such eyes usually appear on people who have been bullied a lot.
Beta walked up, and the two guards greeted him immediately, nodded and bowed and asked: "My lord, is there anything I need to serve?"
Beta was full of dignity, and Shirley looked even more holy. The two of them stood side by side, and behind them was a maid who was a beautiful girl. Anyone who sees such a situation will feel that someone important is coming, and will not suspect that this person is not a nobleman.
"I want to hire a caravan, can I come in and talk?"
"Please follow me." One of the guards bent over and said, and then led the three of Beta inside.
Beta looked at the guard in front of him with a frown. The guard was a professional, and his level was lv4. He was only one step away from being an elite. It stands to reason that such a professional, although not too popular, should at least be a master. But the guard in front of him was already used to bowing his knees.
There are two reasons for this to happen. The first is that this professional is naturally timid, but this is unlikely.
The second is being suppressed like this.
Beta thinks the second possibility is more likely.
Following behind the guard, Beta quickly went up to the second floor.
Here on the second floor, on the left is the counter for selling magic materials, while on the right is the business handling point of the chamber of commerce. A delicate young girl stood behind the counter, looking at Beta expectantly.
"Your Excellency, if you want to hire a caravan, you can talk to Amanda."
Beta nodded, and walked up to the expectant girl.
"Your Excellency, welcome. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
The girl saluted slightly, her eyes were shining brightly.
Beta looked at her, a little strange: "You seem to want me to come?"
"That's natural." The girl named Amanda said with a smile: "If I can help complete your entrustment, then I can get a lot of rewards. I am short of money now, so your business is very important to me. It’s a very important thing.”
Beta looked the girl up and down: "You are quite honest, aren't you afraid that I will blackmail you after hearing this?"
"To be a businessman is to be honest." Amanda continued with a smile: "Besides, I have always had a good eye. I can tell that you are a good person with a bottom line."
Beta smiled lightly when she heard this. The girl could indeed speak, and while raising herself up, she flattered him, raising the level of both sides abruptly.
If you have a higher level, you must have a higher vision when you do things, and if you have a higher vision, you must be more generous when doing things... Following this, as long as the girl speaks nicely next time, it will be easy to close the deal.
Beta has rich experience and can see that this girl is just very good at communicating with people.
But Shirley didn't quite understand. She asked curiously, "How can you tell that Beta is a good person?"
"Because ma'am, you are by your side." Amanda said naturally: "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and you look so noble and pure. At first glance, you are so kind that even ants An angel who can't bear to be trampled to death. If the man who can win your favor is not a kind and brave hero, how can you like it!"
Shirley covered her mouth and laughed, she suddenly felt that this girl was really nice, and she really wanted to make friends with her.
Beta shook his head slightly, he was sure now that this girl was definitely a very competent businessman. To some extent, Bishaluo is better at communicating with people. But Shaluo is better at the methods and channels of products, while this girl is good at selling products. The abilities of the two are similar, but Shaluo is easier to do big things, but this girl is easy to open up situations in adversity.
"Okay, thank you for your compliment, Miss Amanda." Beta gently tapped the table with her index finger: "I want to hire a caravan, what good introduction do you have?"
"Please wait a moment." Amanda bent down and took out a stack of thick parchment rolls from the drawer: "What kind of caravan do you need, what kind of requirements do you have, please bring it up, and I will help you sort it out."
Beta thought for a while, and said: "First of all, they must have a good business record, and then they must have more than 30 people. It doesn't matter if they have the ability to protect themselves. It would be better if they have. Finally, this caravan must not be qualified. Luxun."
The Grusuns are recognized as the least creditworthy nation in the world. (.)
