Broad World

In the evening, Henry and his party came to the door of a business firm located in the business district of Deep Water City. There is a beautiful bear-shaped pattern carved on the gate, and on the side is "Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce" in beautiful cursive characters in Common Language. The half-orc warrior opened his mouth and smiled when he saw it. He said to Hawke: "If you bring Ares, it will definitely like this place. Looking at the size of the bear above, you know it must be a female bear." Hawk sighed, immune to some of Vaughn's jokes.

Henry waved his hand. "Stop joking, sir. Is this where you're taking me?"

Hawk click. "It's here. The owner of the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce is a tall and fat man named Andrew. It is said that he killed a big brown bear with his own hands on the road of business. Later, when he got rich and opened his own Chamber of Commerce, he used this as his name. He has his own trade route in the northern region, and he can often get some rare items, so he can gain a foothold in this bustling place."

Henry looked at the size of the chamber of commerce. "Then let's go in and meet this Mr. Andrew now. I hope he won't let me down." Then everyone walked into the door under the leadership of Hawke.

As soon as he entered the hall, a huge fat man walked up to him. He laughed and gave Hawk a hug and shouted loudly: "Oh! Captain Hawk, you know? They say you are dead, but I never believed these rumors .Now it seems that you are doing well, look at this high-quality clothes, my God! Is this the family emblem of the nobility?"

Hawke pushed away the overly enthusiastic fatty. "I'm afraid they will be disappointed. Not only did I not die, but I am now a nobleman. Please call me Sir Hawke from now on, and I have brought you a big client this time."

As he spoke, he pulled the fat man over and said to Henry: "Count, this is Andrew, the owner of the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce I told you." After speaking, he turned his head and said to the fat man, "This is the nobleman I am serving now, Brother An Earl Henry of the Isles of America. I think as a well-informed merchant you must have heard that name."

Andrew shook the fat on his body, gave a noble salute with a smile on his face and said to Henry: "It's a great honor to meet you, Your Excellency, Earl. Your legendary adventures are widely spread in this city. I don't know if I can be honored to be What kind of service do you provide?"

Henry stared at the fat man with shrewd eyes for a while. "Mr. Andrew, I need a lot of rare ores. Of course, it would be even better if you can get some special parts of magical creatures."

Andrew lowered his head to think for a while, then raised his head. "Please come with me. I won't show these special goods casually to ordinary guests, but you are obviously not among them." After speaking, he led Henry and his party through the hall to the warehouse door behind. After entering the warehouse and continuing to walk for a short distance, Andrew suddenly squatted down. He started tapping the ground with a stone, and after a few minutes a slab was pushed up, and a dirty goblin crawled out of it.

"Master, have you brought a big client here again?" the goblin asked, rubbing his hands.

Andrew didn't reply, he kicked the goblin into the pit, turned his head and said to Henry: "Count, you may have to wrong you a little bit in the next journey."

Hawke looked at the burrow in surprise. "Andrew, you have never heard that you have such a secret warehouse before."

The fat man laughed and patted Hawke on the shoulder. "My friend, that's because you weren't up to the level before."

Henry looked at the low tunnel and said to Andrew, "It's okay, as long as you have the goods I am satisfied with." After speaking, he followed the fat man into the tunnel. After walking in the narrow tunnel with their heads down for five minutes, everyone suddenly felt that Realization became more cheerful. It was a huge man-made cave, surrounded by a large number of wooden boxes and shelves.

Andrew pointed to the boxes. "The goods here are some rare ores and magic materials, and there are also a small amount of magic items. This is all the inventory I have saved for twenty years. Please choose slowly. If you have any inquiries, please contact Tim directly, that is That goblin is in charge of sorting out all the things here." After speaking, the fat man pulled a chair and sat down, and the chair almost collapsed with a "squeak".

Henry walked up to the goblin. "Then show me the metals and ores here first."

Goblin Tim ran quickly to a row of boxes. "Dear guest, all the metal blocks and ores are here, please choose as you like." After speaking, he also opened several boxes.

Henry carefully checked the contents of the box, and after confirming that there were no fakes, he said to the fat man: "I want all these ores and rare metals, and then take me to see those rare magic materials."

After hearing this sentence, the fat man stood up from his chair. He looked at Henry in surprise and asked, "Count, all these things together cost at least 250,000 gold coins. Are you sure you want to buy them all?"

"That's right, don't you think two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins is a big number for me?"

The fat man quickly raised his hand. "No, no, no! I never doubted your ability to pay. I just didn't expect you to be so generous in buying things."

Henry ignored him and followed the goblin directly to the shelf where special materials were placed. It didn't take long for him to find some things that were hardly seen on the market, including the tail of the succubus, the silk sac of the etter monster, the poison gland of the giant desert scorpion, the tongue of the slaa toad, the eyes of evil beasts, etc. He picked out these materials, turned to Andrew and said, "I didn't expect you to have some good things here, just help me figure out how many gold coins I need in total."

The fat man carefully looked at all the magic materials, closed his eyes and calculated for a while. "These materials cost 130,000 gold coins in total, and the price of the ore is 380,000 in total. But I can only charge you 200,000 gold coins, but there is one condition."

"Tell me your conditions." Henry said, looking at the shrewd businessman.

Andrew touched his fat chin. "I hope you can provide me with a certain amount of spices every year. Of course, I will pay according to my share of four and you six after the sale. You must know that the merchants who bought spices from your island last year made a fortune. The profits made make me jealous."

Henry smiled. "Mr. Andrew, you are really a shrewd and greedy businessman. If you can send some people to my territory every year, I can agree to your request."

Andrew gave a noble salute with a smile all over his face. "Of course Earl, if the population is not enough, I will go to Luskan to buy a batch for you."

Henry looked at the big fat man with a little appreciation. "If what you do satisfies me, I will consider increasing your share of spices year by year, and I don't only have spices as a business that can make a lot of money."

After hearing this sentence, Andrew immediately understood the meaning of the words, and he said to Henry in a low voice: "It is my honor to serve you, if there is anything that needs me to do in the future, please just ask me." Seeing the fat man listening Understanding what he meant, Henry nodded in satisfaction. After giving Andrew 200,000 gold coins, he put everything into his dimensional bag and left the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce.

Standing on the street in the business district, Hawke sighed: "I have known Andrew for more than ten years, and I really didn't expect him to be in this kind of business behind the scenes. If he is caught by the Tower of Order, he will go to jail."

Henry smiled and said to the old captain: "Sir, I once heard a saying that if a businessman has 50% profit, he will take risks; if he has 100% profit, he will dare to trample on all laws in the world; With 300% profit, he dares to commit any crime, even risking being killed."

Hawke pondered for a while and asked, "That's really apt. Is that the scholar who said such philosophical words?"

"A man named Marx. But he is dead." After speaking, Henry smiled mysteriously.

Hawke sighed. "It's a pity that I can't get to know such a wise man." After speaking, he led a group of people to tour the business district. Hawke explained this area to everyone behind him as he walked. The business district of Waterdeep City is never closed except for festivals. Various candles, oil lamps and magic flames are used to illuminate the entire street at night. Moreover, all major guilds have their headquarters here, providing services for guild members at any time.

Henry walked around and had a look along the way. Although it is not as prosperous as some famous shopping streets on earth, it also has a special flavor. For example, the pet shop just now is very interesting, not only ordinary cats, dogs, mice, birds, but also some small pterosaurs, poisonous spiders and other dangerous animals. Henry even saw a young bear hound in the innermost part.

After walking around for a while, Hawke brought everyone back home. As soon as she entered the door, Juliet greeted her. She smiled and asked, "How is the business going well?"

Hawke hugged his wife. "It went quite well, and I can assure you that the Earl will be quite satisfied."

"That's right, I never thought I could buy so many things at once. You must know that many materials here are out of stock all year round."

Juliet helped her husband hang up his coat. "I've got supper ready, shall I serve it now?"

The half-orc warrior touched his stomach and nodded desperately. "Of course ma'am, my stomach is already rumbling with hunger."

Hawk laughed and said to his wife: "Didn't you hear what Vaughan said, my dear, I guess even our neighbors will be able to hear it in a while." After everyone came to the table and sat down, Dinner was served. Everyone was silently eating what was on their plate, occasionally making a bit of chewing or swallowing sound. After dinner, Hawke brought everyone into the guest room, and went back to his bedroom to find his wife for tenderness. Henry looked at the distant street scene in the city through the window, and he secretly lamented the prosperity of Waterdeep City. I don't know when my territory will be able to have such a large population and a bustling commercial street like here.
