Chapter 375 1.374 My lord, your gift without compensation violates the ancient treaty of fair trade among the Nords

"My lord, you should meet the stone weaver Dlavinia." In order to be worthy of the priceless pigeon egg magic stone, the owner of the Braided Inn also tried his best to recruit talents for the lord.

"Oh?" The lord was really interested: "Who is she?"

"He is a dark elf elemental mage who moved from Morrowind. He is responsible for keeping the temperature of the hot stream mine mine low so that the workers can continue mining." The owner of Braided Inn gave an in-depth introduction to the lord.

"Dark Elf Elemental Mage." This brief description alone successfully aroused the interest of the lord.

"My lord, she's here." Following the eyes of the braided innkeeper, a steaming female magician wrapped in a long black burqa entered the inn.

The dark elf archmage looked around, and the moment his eyes met with the lord, he humbly bowed his head and walked up to salute: "Good day, Lord Ximu."

"You know me?" Wu Chen treated each other with courtesy.

"No, I recognize the spaceship parked outside the door." As expected of the archmage from Morrowind, the thoughtful court etiquette revealed an indelible elegance in the predicament in front of him.It is said that no matter how respected they were in Morrowind before, they became gray people after arriving in Skyrim.

"Please sit down." Wu Chen extended the invitation with a smile.

"Thank you, my lord." The dark elf elemental mage was still so elegant.

"Why shouldn't you be recruited as a court mage?" For example, Xueman's court mage Farenja Secret Fire, almost the nine lords have their own magic advisors.The treatment is much higher than that of ordinary vassals, even comparable to a baron.

"As you can see, my lord. I was a mage in Morrowind. Now I dedicate my talents to the mines here, helping them keep the tunnels safe. Azura, it's really hot in there. I The heat is bearable with copious amounts of frost salt potion, but even that is barely sustainable. There are more and more visible burn spots below. Before long, the entire mine will be blasted to the sky. But I have Give it your all, give it your best.” Dravynea the Stoneweaver cites the biggest crisis facing the Searing Stream Mine.

"Okay, ma'am." Referring to the name "Scorching Stream", Wu Chen expressed his own understanding: "The high-temperature gas full of gas will break through the rock formation at any time and cause a big explosion. The only feasible way is to use frost salt potion to cool down , to delay the occurrence of the Big Bang.”

"That's it, my lord." Stone Weaver Dlavinia nodded lightly, "Whenever the air in a certain part of the mine ripples, it means the accumulation of explosive gas." This is a convincing experience.Experienced miners in the creek collar would say something similar.

"If a steam pipeline is laid in the mine, and the explosive gas is introduced into the Shenguang crystal forge for forging or lighting, can it solve the crisis in the mine?" Wu Chen asked the recognized mechanical master among Mrs. Gisses Ying.

Spirit Dragon Knight Ashtaret nodded with a smile: "Master's method is correct. But laying brass steam pipes will cost a lot of gold coins. The miners at the Scorching Stream Mine should not be able to afford it."

Wu Chen nodded slightly: "Who is the mine owner of the scorching stream?"

"My lord, it is said that Roggi Knot-Beard's ancestor, Lane, discovered these mines after urinating in a dark cave." The braided innkeeper is naturally familiar with the local situation: "Since then, More and more miners came here and set up a mining camp. Therefore, according to Snowman's lord treaty, this scorching stream mine is owned by the Roger Jiexu family. After the lord died in battle, the amount of livestock or property that the heirs paid to the lord was about one-third of all the inheritance) and personal aspirations, so this dangerous mine still belonged to the Jiexu family in name. However, Most of the ownership of this mine has been mortgaged to Lord Windhelm before making up for the inheritance tax that has been lost in the past dynasties."

Just as the amount of inheritance tax collection is about one-third of the total value.If the heirs did not pay enough taxes, the shortfall was mortgaged to the lord.In this way, when the next heir inherits the mine again, one-third of the remaining value of the mine after deducting the part mortgaged to the lord is the new inheritance tax.And so on.

Passed down from generation to generation and mortgaged from generation to generation.As a result, 25.39% of the ownership of the mine remained in the hands of Roger Knotbeard, and most of the remaining ownership of the mine was mortgaged to the current windhelm lord Ulfric Stormcloak.

"Ah, this shouldn't be a problem." The lord's thoughts are always unexpected: "Where is Roger Knotbeard?"

"At this time, he should try to brew delicious mead in the camp, my lord." Braided Innkeeper shrugged and said with a smile: "Compared to mining, Roger's brewing skills are his talent."

"Since this is the case, wouldn't it be better to brew it?" The housekeeper smiled softly.

After receiving the news, Luo Ji Jiexu immediately threw away the work in hand, and immediately rushed to meet the Lord Ximu, who was a rich man.

After a large glass of mead, Roger Knotwhiskers began to talk.Boasting that he has spent a lifetime studying to become a renowned mead expert, he says that the best mead in Skyrim can be found in the Rift city he visited as a child (with a veiled admission of stealing the art of brewing Blackbrier mead).Yet the mead he drank far exceeded the harvest of the mines.Therefore, he owed a large amount of wine money to the owner of the braided hotel.This wine money even exceeds the value of the remaining 25.39% ownership of the Searing Creek Mine.

"That's not a problem at all." The lord smiled and said: "The problem is, you have to taste my wine."

As he spoke, the lord took out the exquisite wine bag and poured a large glass of gin for Roger Knotbeard.

The rich aroma of gin immediately aroused Roger Knotwhisker's hunger.One cup, and here comes the question: "My lord, I assure you from my brewing career (sit down, your brewing career has not yet begun), your home-brewed mead has far surpassed the black briar mead. "

"So, if I hire you as the chief brewer of Secuda Gin, would you like it?" Wu Chen extended the invitation with a smile.

"Of course, my lord. This is my honor." Roger Knotbeard's lofty ambitions are exactly the same as what the Braided Inn owner said: "The Searing Stream Mine will be my gift."

"No need." Wu Chen said with a smile: "I will also redeem the mortgaged ownership for you. The only condition is that the ore produced by the scorching stream mine is given priority to my territory."

"Of course, my lord." As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in awe, including Roger Knotbe himself.

The owner of the braided inn said at the right time: "My lord, you gave the ancient treaty of fair trade to the Nords without consideration of reward. If Roger Knuckles accepts it, everyone will laugh at him."

"The boss is right." Stone Weaver Dlavinia smiled with relief, "In my hometown, Chenfeng, there are similar unwritten treaties."

"Then half and half." Wu Chen thought for a while.

"You must have more than half." As expected of the braided hotel owner: "Rogi Knotbeard's current share is the limit (25.39%!)."

"My lord, this is the treaty of the Nords." Roger Knotbeard's eyes were firm.Well, now remember that I am a Nord who "stands up on his fist and runs on his arm"?

"Okay." Wu Chen nodded lightly: "Then please don't mind me paying all the bills for you, as the lord."

"I salute you, my lord." Roger Knotbe bowed solemnly.This is the simple and unshakable ritual of surrendering to the Lord of the Brookwood and becoming a Sekuda squire.All those present are witnesses.

It would be better for Roger Knotbeard himself to redeem the pledged share from the current Lord of Windhelm, Ulfric Stormcloak, without the presence of Lord Brookwood.

After solving the huge crisis at the Scorching Stream Mine, the lord will gain the allegiance of a dark elf elemental mage, and the stoneweaver Dlavinia, an expert trainer in transformation magic.

It is also a worthwhile trip.

As for the manufacture of brass steam pipes and the Shenguang crystal forge, Spirit Dragon Knight Ashtaret has long been familiar with it.

In addition, champion warrior Kelia Wolfclaw also made an agreement with the lord to visit Gray Rock Castle later.

Taking Sister Uriel and the Dragon Lady who still hadn't recovered from the extreme shock, Wu Chen took the Starry Night Goddess and returned to the territory.
