Chapter 36

With Alfonso's story, Joshua understood why he invited himself so seriously.

It's not a big deal to talk about - it's just money.

As a businessman, no matter how big the matter is, there is not a word for money.

According to the middle-aged president of the chamber of Commerce, just five days ago, all the chambers of commerce that stayed in the North met the same problem: the road to the south of the Empire was blocked by accident. At present, everyone was trapped in the north and had to get away.

Road blockade and trade interruption are no joke for businessmen. If Alfonso can't leave now, he will be unable to catch up with the next deal and lose a large amount of liquidated damages. Not to mention, his reputation over the years will be doubted. Coupled with the chain reaction of all aspects, the whole beishuang chamber of Commerce will usher in a big crisis.

"It is said that there was a change in the black forest in the middle of the Empire. In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating and spreading, the checkpoints in the road were blocked by the Legion, and no one could pass."

Looking tired, Alfonso took out a map and pointed to the Ural Mountains, which divided the northern region and the central region of the Empire. "Except for the Ural fortress, if you want to go to the south, you have to cross the mountains. I'm not crazy. Of course, I don't give food to Warcraft for nothing. The Moldovan leader has the Mager River, which can be transported by water, But there are few boats that can travel on this glacier. The local chamber of commerce is not enough, let alone me. "

"I don't know the news..." Joshua frowned. He thought about it, and said frankly, "don't talk about me. Even the Grand Duke of the empire can't help it. Although it's a little embarrassing, it's really important. There's nothing he can do about it."

"You don't know, this is because it's just a cordon. Civilians and adventurers can pass through it, which has little impact on ordinary people. But a large number of people like the Dragon cart business group, which will disturb Warcraft, can't do it."

Alfonso is also very helpless, in the face of such an absolute emergency situation and do not speak of the sentinel, he is really powerless: "but my Lord, if you say that other people can not do it, but you can absolutely!"

The tone changed, and he was full of confidence.

It's rare for Joshua to encounter such a situation in which others have more confidence in him than himself. The black haired soldier touched his chin and said with great interest, "interesting, let's say. I'm also curious about where your confidence in me comes from."

"Dwarf."

No more words, the middle-aged chamber of Commerce president said these two words, and then heavily said: "dwarf tunnel!"

He pointed to the map again and pointed to the lava lake in Moldavia, near the great AEAS volcano: "as we all know, count, your family has been friendly with dwarves for generations. You must also know that the underpass of dwarves links the whole empire. Through the underpass of dwarves, you can easily bypass the checkpoint guard and go to the south. My requirements are not high, As long as you give me a chance to meet the senior management of the other party! "

When Alfonso spoke, his face was very serious, and he saluted Joshua: "you don't need to come out, as long as you give us a chance to see the dwarf leader, then I have confidence to get the right to use the dwarf tunnel! In this way, even faster than before, we can quickly cross the snow covered plain underground, jump over the valley and go directly to the south of the Empire

"You're right, but dwarf..."

After frowning and thinking for a while, Joshua nodded and remembered many things. He said to himself in a low voice, "yes, the dwarf wrote a letter three days ago. It was written by master Tieti Moria himself. It was the elder of my great grandfather's generation, In order to write a polite reply, I asked Ying to look through three bookshelves to find a similar model... Alfonso. "

As the voice turned louder, Joshua picked up the map, drew a circle around the lava lake with his fingers, and said solemnly, "you and I are not strangers, so I don't talk much. Although I know dwarves, they are my people in name, and the family has made friends with them from generation to generation, but as a new Lord, I will give you a letter of recommendation at most, So that you won't be driven out as soon as you are ready to get close to the lava lake area, and you have to fight for everything else. "

"That's enough, count!"

Hearing this promise, Alfonso's heart fell to the ground, his face was a little less depressed, and he looked energetic: "such a great kindness, I will repay you in the future!"

"No need."

Shaking his head, Joshua looked into the middle-aged businessman's eyes: "I don't need money."

When he said this, the soldier seemed to be thinking about something. He recalled some things that happened in the Empire at this time in his previous life. After pondering over the meeting, Joshua said with a light smile: "it happens that if you succeed in returning to the south of the empire through the dwarf tunnel, then I have one thing to entrust to you. As you know, I am the new Lord, It's hard to get away at this time. ""As long as it's your will." Alfonso no doubt agreed down: "to Carlos this surname as an oath, I Alfonso will do my best to achieve!"

"Don't worry. We'll talk about it after the party."

With a wave of his hand, Joshua went to the door, but before he got close, the middle-aged businessman quickly ran over and opened the door for him. The housekeeper standing outside wanted to lead the way, but he was stopped by his master. Alfonso said naturally, "let me show you the way. The hall is going in this direction."

The three men walked forward, and soon arrived at the hall. The middle-aged businessman took the lead and opened the door for Joshua himself, saying, "count, please."

The soothing Violin and Piano Concerto came from behind the gate. The conversation of many guests and the smile of ladies were clear and audible. It was indistinct that Joshua could smell the faint smoky smell in the air. It had to be said that Alfonso really spent a lot of money to hold the banquet. The smoky smell that filled the hall alone cost a lot of money.

As he approached, more music and voices came, but just as Joshua came into the hall, the soldier's heart suddenly raised a sense of vigilance, and a faint fragrance came.

The fragrance is not incense or food. It seems to be the fragrance of flowers mixed with female hormones

There was no time to think about it, so he stepped into the banquet hall. Because of Joshua's entrance, the whole room was quiet. Even the trio on the left made a small mistake, And suddenly cold scene no one cares about such a small matter.

Wonderful silence.

Threat 18 is too high.

Joshua sighed in his heart. It's just that his character's charm is low. Anyway, he's not ugly. He just has no affinity. But the threat value must be reduced. Otherwise, where he goes, it's cold and the place he passes is silent. It's really boring.

Slightly with the corner of his eyes, he scanned the scene, but when he saw half of it, the soldier was stunned.

Wait, all... All women?!

There are not many people in the banquet hall. Apart from the band playing and the attendants, the number of guests is in their early 30s. But more than half of these 30 people are polite girls in full dress and long skirt?

"What the hell is going on?"

In a low voice, Joshua fixed his eyes and saw several middle-aged men and their wives. In front of him, there were only more than a dozen girls holding their breath.

Roughly speaking, there should be four or five heads of chambers of Commerce here, and those girls should be their relatives, one or two or three

Looking at Alfonso, who was walking towards him, Joshua would understand.

Tut, I should have thought that he is a 23-year-old single earl. This is the king of platinum and amber inlaid with diamonds. The businessman is really a businessman. The routine is really deep. If he didn't agree to this guy's request before, now he should be vigorously promoting his daughte
