Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 849 Patriarch Huber's Worries
Lynn glanced at the calm but worried patriarch Huber. He had sat down for a few minutes and hadn't invited Adan to take a seat. As a result, his expression turned from dissatisfaction to anxiety.

It is obvious that they are worried that Aglea City will anger Chang'an Town because of the friendly relationship between Chang'an Town and Kelben.

So he was right. Chang'an Town's original geographical advantage was completely abolished because of the appearance of that road.

The Harbell family does have a large number of excellent mages... but it also means that there are more ordinary people who are barely apprentices.

If they want to support so many ordinary people, they are not as lofty as they appear on the surface, but they really need those caravans...Because of the friendly relationship with Waterdeep City, a large number of them are located in the countries on the east side of Waterdeep City and Silvermoon City. Caravans traveling between city-states will choose Chang'an Town to rest.

It takes more than ten days to go from here to Deep Water City!
For these caravans, it doesn't matter how bad Chang'an Town treats them, no matter how high the prices of the hotels and restaurants are, it doesn't matter, this is where the noble Mages act as bodyguards.

And because of the prestige these people have given to Chang'an Town, land caravans from further afield will try their best to choose Chang'an Town as a place to rest in the middle... Caravans that travel long distances don't always rush. The team leader who did this kind of behavior probably died in a dark corner long ago.

In the past thousands of years, there was only one place in the wilderness, Changsan Town, that people passing by could trust... But it doesn't mean that these caravans don't want to save money.

The road created by Hill is safe and wide, and can even shorten the time to reach Waterdeep City by at least half... If it is that kind of faster horse team, it can even be reached in one-third of the time.

The mages in Chang'an Town are not stupid. They should have known what the result would be when they saw this road... The price of hotels in Chang'an Town is not cheap... At least not as expensive as those specialized in the port area of ​​Waterdeep City. Caravan oriented hotels are cheap.

The caravan that would have rested in Chang'an Town for a long time may now leave after only staying overnight... That means more than just a reduction in hotel and hotel revenue... Their harness market will also be finished.

Those of the Habell family who don't even have the qualifications of mages can rely on craftsmen to make ends meet!
This is the reason why Patriarch Huber came in a hurry: of course he wanted to come when the road was built, but without an excuse, he couldn't visit Aglaia City under Kelben's nose.

Although speaking, the two sides have already reconciled... But who would really believe that there is no grievance between them, I guess... Hmm... Maybe, the goblin would believe it?

It just happened that a certain undead priest tried to dig out the gems on the beautiful Tower of Twilight because he was unwilling to dig out... Yes, Lynn knew what she wanted to do when she heard the words of the 'old Sanda King'.

The Tower of Twilight is the result of a 22-level archmage returning from an adventure. The beautiful dark red tower is said to be inlaid with tens of thousands of gems.

Constructed of so many gemstones is a powerful magic circle that can directly span space: the Tower of Twilight, which was directly hidden in the dimensional space at the beginning, could not be discovered even by a 30-level archmage like Kelben.

Lin En showed a happy smile to the calm and anxious Patriarch Huber in front of him: "Master Adanke, please sit down!
You are too polite, just sit down... The city of Aglaia has never had so many red tapes, and the relationship between elves is not so complicated, so I didn't pay attention, and I have to invite you to sit down.

O the road to the main road!In fact, our lord built it for convenience!
Aglaia now has an additional territory located in the Hidden Forest... Hidden Town.

Every day, a large number of people pass between the two places. The front section can borrow the main road, and of course we can only rely on ourselves to build the back section.

Fortunately, our lord is good at earth magic, and building roads is a piece of cake for him.

Don't worry, the city of Aglaia has never taken the initiative to attack territories that haven't offended us... For Hill, if he has that spare time, it's better to study a little more magic skills.

He also has no desire for money. Speaking of which, I have never seen anyone richer than him in Faerun Continent.

Therefore, the Harbell family doesn't need to worry about this at all... Archmage Kelben probably won't trouble Aglaia anymore, right?

We can't even make a move in Waterdeep City, let alone an ally of the Tower of the Black Rod!
Do not worry!
I can even guarantee that even if the Hubbell family goes to Waterdeep City via this road, Hill will not have any objections... It is even more impossible for him to set up road tolls.

He never made such troublesome little money. "

Lynn said a long series of words with a smile, in exchange for Patriarch Huber's increasingly gloomy face.

A Dan could no longer think about politeness issues: he was dissatisfied at the beginning because Lynn sat down directly after he came in, and he didn't even ask him to take a seat first.

If it was the Archmage Hill who appeared here, Adan would certainly not have any dissatisfaction, but Lin En, the mayor, is just a bard.

Adanke, who didn't know that this was the God's Chosen One, was not very friendly towards Lynn.

He has always felt that bards are not worthy of being called legal professions at all... To become the patriarch of the Harbell family, although his mage talent is not good, but the mage's pride must be full.

Otherwise, people with relatively normal thinking really cannot support a mage family with different temperaments and even camps... chaotic neutral and chaotic good live next door, and there is chaotic evil next door, light adjustment The relationship between them is enough to drive people crazy.

So in this world, it is very difficult for mage families to maintain it is the reason... mages are confident and will not feel that there is anything wrong with choosing a different path from the family. Which mage family really wants to force their descendants to have a unified belief, and the end will be absolute. miserable.

It is only natural for an evil family to welcome guests from heaven, and a good family to face the gate of the abyss... Maybe they were all summoned by a level 2 or 3 mage.

Only families that feel that mages are supreme and can choose any camp can continue to exist, so the requirements for the patriarch will be high.

At least in the patriarch's heart, the continuation of the family is the most important thing, otherwise, how can anyone support it?
Even though Lin En gave him a big blow, Adan still supported his dignity with pride. When he heard the first sentence, please sit down, he honestly found a nice sofa and sat down...

But after Lin En finished speaking, Adan could no longer sit still... He was not stupid, of course he knew the meaning behind the words: Lin En already understood why he insisted on delivering it to the door himself.

Adan Ke lowered his head, silently calculating what price he could pay to change Aglaia's disapproving attitude towards this way.

At the very least, no one can be allowed to go down this road!

Then she heard Lin En's faint voice: "Speaking of which, the hidden forest has now opened up the waterway between the Raven River and the Miral River!"

Adan looked up suddenly, why didn't he know!
Kelben's Moonstar organization is more powerful than the Harpers on the Sword Coast side, and few things can be hidden from their eyes!

Why have they no news at all?

Seeing Lynn's face, Adan finally realized that Yuexing is an organization dominated by humans... It is not easy to get in with the high-level officials of Aglaia City.

Even if some people follow to Luskan, it is impossible to enter the Hidden Forest.

He knew that there were Mithril elves in the Hidden Forest, but he had absolutely no information about what Mithril elves were doing in the forest.

Even ordinary elves are not accepted there... It is said that only the ships of the elves of Trassir can enter that forest.

He should have thought of it a long time ago... Adan closed his eyes for a moment... After the Raven River entered the Hidden Forest, there was no way for it to pass. That's because no one dared to cut trees under the eyes of the wood elves!
But the elves dig the river by themselves...they have hundreds of ways to move the immovable big tree aside.

Adan showed a wry smile, and he didn't need to blame Kyle Bend for the slow response of the Moon Star Organization...Who would a normal person dig a river in winter?

That is to say, no matter what happens, Chang'an Town will definitely lose the large caravans from Silvermoon City... Adan knows very well that the Silvermoon City caravans that can consume huge amounts of money from them are definitely not bad for hiring ships The money... that is a safe passage all the way to the sea.

In the past, when traveling by sea, you had to consider the troubles of Amberley and pirates, but now the offshore is safer than the land.

In the future, Chang'an Town can only be more friendly to small caravans. They have to contact the towns along the main road and stop bullying these small caravans... Otherwise, they may organize to sit together in Silvermoon City. The ship went west, but as long as there was a chance on land, these caravans who didn't trust each other would still choose to act alone.

A Dan Ke stared at Lynn quietly: All of this is because of Lord Aglaia, and that Lord who doesn't show his face at all is best known for his pursuit of knowledge and huge wealth... that is the ruling party All dragons will be envious of the huge property that even the Temple of Wealth can't match.

He is very clear that if Aglaia City wants to make concessions on land, Changsan Town will have to pay more... His bargaining chips are too few.

Lin En rested his chin and waited for Adanke's decision. Smart people don't need to say too much to know what each other's needs are... One wants the traffic hub status of Chang'an Town not to disappear completely, and the other wants only It's knowledge... Lord Aglea's wealth is enough to make all methods of throwing money at people disappear.

And Chang'an Town must resolve this matter before the arrival of spring, and those caravans have always been quick to get news.

Lynn smiled. He had already got the information about the underground world that Hill wanted.
