Chapter 348: Merchant rally (above)

Winter City.

As the most famous tavern in the east of the city, the "Butter Tavern" today declined a large number of patrons.

"Oh? Why can't we let in if he can enter?"

At the entrance of the tavern, the young drunkard who was stopped by the waiter pointed to the guest who had just been greeted in and asked.

The tavern attendant explained politely: "I'm really sorry, but the gentleman had an invitation just now."

"So, your tavern is reserved today?"

"Yes."

The drunkards suddenly shouted and vented their dissatisfaction, but no one dared to rush in.

As regular customers of the "Butter Tavern", they all know that this tavern has a deep background. It is said that the tavern owner has a close relationship with the noble master in the castle on the top of the mountain.

In this way, who would dare to make trouble here, don't you want to mix in the northern border?

When the drunks dispersed, the tavern welcomed two dark-skinned guests.

The faces of the two are similar, they are brothers at first glance.

Moreover, this dark complexion shows that the two of them have been traveling for many years. Coupled with the kind of rich but tacky temperament that cannot be concealed, the attendant basically judged that the two of them should be outside business all year round, and 80% of them are guests tonight. .

Sure enough, one of them took out the invitation and handed it to the attendant.

The attendant glanced, and immediately opened the door respectfully, saying: "Welcome, Mr. Oliver, Mr. Olma."

The Oliver brothers walked into the tavern.

Hundreds of guests had gathered inside. Looking around for a week, Oliver found that they were all familiar faces.

"Mr. Oliver!"

Before the two became familiar with the environment, a bunch of greetings came up.

Oliver seemed to have expected such a scene a long time ago, and immediately took up the air, put on a reserved smile, and dealt with the people who came.

Oliver is not actually the organizer of this northern merchant rally, and the Tulip Chamber of Commerce is not the most powerful force in the northern border.

Especially after the Uman family has undergone major changes, business people who know the details of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce are no longer optimistic about this Chamber of Commerce.

It's just that this kind of situation has suddenly turned around one hundred and eighty degrees recently.

The reason is also very simple.

The businessmen discovered that Mr. Oliver, the little-known new president of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, was even acquainted with Count Angele!

In fact, there have been rumors that Oliver and Earl Anglia were familiar with each other a long time ago, but until recently, Earl Anglia deliberately used Oliver to spread a message to major businessmen in the north, and everyone was finally convinced of the authenticity of the rumors.

As a result, Oliver and the Tulip Chamber of Commerce rose up overnight.

"Mr. Oliver, is the St. Hild family really planning to borrow? How much are you planning to borrow?"

"Mr. Oliver, will Count Angele go to Silvermoon City this year for centralized food purchases?"

"Mr. Oliver, can you ask Count Angele to let go of the tax relief quota for the Troll Empire?"

"Mr. Oliver..."

All kinds of questions came, and Oliver didn't know how to answer for a moment. He had to put on a polite smile on that round and fat face, pretending that he didn't hear everyone's questions, but kept shaking hands with the businessmen around him one by one. greeting.

Ding Ding!

In front of the bar, a middle-aged man with a big belly knocked on the goblet in his hand, and when everyone's eyes were focused, he said loudly:

"Everyone, your enthusiasm almost frightened Mr. Oliver, so please restrain yourself!"

The people around Oliver then dispersed with a smile.

This middle-aged man is of course an extraordinary identity for allowing so many businessmen to be so "obedient."

"Mr. Arnold!" Oliver walked a few steps quickly, came to the bar, and shook hands with this person cordially, "Thank you for inviting us to come to this event!"

This Mr. Arnold is the organizer of this merchant gathering and the owner of this butter tavern. Of course, his more prominent identity is the president of the North Wind Chamber of Commerce.

And this Northwind Chamber of Commerce has always been closely related to the St. Hild family. There are even rumors that this Chamber of Commerce was actually funded and formed by the St. Hild family, and Arnold is just a white glove before being pushed onto the stage.

Over the years, under the banner of the St. Hild family, Arnold has indeed been called a whistleblower in the northern business community, and has a prominent reputation. At this time, when the Northern Merchants Federation was formed, Arnold naturally responded, and the number of merchants in the Northern Territory almost arrived.

"Mr. Oliver, Mr. Olma, it is my honour for you to come to this event! Please wait a moment to sit down and taste the champagne that I have treasured for many years. Our meeting will begin soon."

The Oliver brothers responded with a smile, and immediately took a seat at a round table at the front under the guidance of the attendant.

After Arnold's interruption, the businessmen came to the sense that this meeting was mainly to discuss the formation of the Northern Merchants Association, not the Loan Conference of the St. Hild family.

Therefore, everyone had to put down the enthusiasm in their hearts, stop pestering Oliver, and prepare to ask each other carefully after the meeting.

After waiting for a while, the door of the tavern opened again, and a young knight in armor and a long sword walked in.

This time the tavern, which had finally been quieter, became noisy again.

The merchants whispered one after another, wondering how knights would participate in this merchant meeting.

But some people recognized the knight's identity and couldn't help but turn their eyes to Arnold.

At this moment, I saw Arnold stepping forward and personally greeted the young knight to the front desk, and at the same time said loudly to a group of businessmen:

"Everyone, please let me introduce, this is the grandson of the consul of the Sebastian of the Senate-Knight Weber St. Hilde!"

Happiness!

There was a warm applause from the audience.

The expressions of the merchants were exhilarated, and the appearance of the Webb Knight confirmed the fact that Arnold was indeed closely related to the St. Hild family. It seems that the formation of the Northern Merchants Federation this time should be the will of the St. Hild family.

Only the two brothers Oliver had different expressions, whispering underneath, looking in the direction of the tavern door from time to time.

With a reserved smile on his face, Knight Weber nodded to the merchants.

In fact, he didn't want to come here, because when he left the Dragon City, his grandfather Sebas warned him that he must be low-key in the Northern Territory, and don't do anything that might irritate Colin, and don't follow the north wind. The Chamber of Commerce has been close to each other.

But the young and vigorous Weber has ever had such a low-pitched life, and the Northwind Chamber of Commerce is sending money to women, so that Weber, who has been frustrated for a long time, re-realizes the fun that a boy should have, and agrees when he is hot. Arnold's invitation.

In his opinion, attending a merchant rally is nothing more than a trivial matter, and should not attract Colin's attention.

Arnold looked at the changes in the faces of the businessmen in the audience, and was proud of his heart.

This time, he did everything possible to invite the Webber Knight to the venue, just to create an impression in the minds of the northern merchants—the St. Hild family standing behind the North Wind Chamber of Commerce!

It is by pulling the banner of the Saint Hild family that Arnold has been able to flourish in the North for so many years. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Only recently, the changes in the North Territory are really dizzying, and the newly emerging Earl of Anglia seems to be unfriendly to merchants. This is how Arnold started the idea of ​​forming the North Territory Merchants Federation. This integrates the forces of northern merchants to respond to changes in the situation.

Just as Arnold was ready to make a speech, the door of the tavern opened again.

Arnold frowned, thinking it was the blind merchant who was late, and was about to scold him, but when he saw the heroic face of the man who walked in, he stood still on the spot.

The Weber Knight who was already seated immediately stood up, wiped off the beer foam from the corners of his mouth, clasped his chest with his left hand, and stammered in salute to the people:

"Ann... Count Angele!"

Colin strode into the venue and said with a smile as he walked:

"How come no one has notified me of such a lively party?"
