Broad World

Soon the treaty was drafted, and Henry and the public lord Piergalen signed each other's names on it. After signing, Kelben showed a smile on his serious face. He said to Henry: I hope we can cooperate on a larger scale against evil in the future, and suppress the arrogance of the evil forces on the entire west coast.

Henry shook his head and smiled. Master, you know that I am a druid walking on the road of neutrality. I can only guarantee that the evil will not cross its proper boundaries, but I cannot drive them all out.

This is enough, Kelben, don't be too hard on Earl Henry. Lila advised her husband.

Kelben sighed. Well, everyone has a position and we can't force people to agree with us because that's the logic of the devil.

Henry bowed slightly apologetically. Thank you for your understanding. Please rest assured that I agree with you on the fight against undead creatures, demons, devils and lycanthropes. Thank you again for your trust and support. If there is nothing else, I plan to return to the territory immediately. This time I have been diving underground for a long time, and my relatives and subordinates must be very worried now.

Pierre Galen and Henry shook hands with each other. Then, on behalf of Waterdeep City, I wish you a smooth journey. In addition, Sir Hawk set sail back to Blue Winter City a week ago, and you must now need a ship to go back. Do you need me to contact you?

Henry thought for a while before rejecting Pierre Galen's offer. I have a good relationship with Chairman Andrew of the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce, and I plan to take their Chamber of Commerce's boat home. In addition, there is still a deal between us that has not been completed.

Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce? Is that the fat man who weighed 170 kilograms and always said that he killed a big brown bear with his own hands when he was young? asked an invisible lord wearing a magic mask.

Henry laughed out after hearing his description of Andrew. That's right, it's him. When I first came to Waterdeep City, I bought a lot of goods from his chamber of commerce, and I also agreed to further cooperate with him.

There was a sweet laugh from the lord, obviously a woman. She said to Henry: I am very glad to see that you have such close trade relations with the Chamber of Commerce in Waterdeep City. Finally, I wish your cooperation smooth and earn more gold coins.

The lady Henry saluted. Then I'll take your auspicious words. I'll take my leave today. I'm going to go to the Grizzly Bear Chamber of Commerce. After speaking, he left the palace in the Castle District with Vaughn, Debra, and Dai Lina who were waiting at the door, and walked along the street to the business district.

After the raid a few days ago, the place became much deserted, and a large number of shops were destroyed and burned. Even after so many days, the hustle and bustle of the past has not returned. When he came to the gate of the Grizzly Bear Chamber of Commerce, Henry found that the gate here had traces of being cut by a sword. You don't need to ask, you know, you must have been attacked by a dark elf.

He opened the door and walked in, and at a glance he saw Andrew with a bandage on his head. The fat man was sitting on a chair with a sad face. Henry walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Andrew, what's the matter with you? You were all red when I came to see you last time.

The fat man looked up and saw that it was Henry and immediately stood up, showing a smile uglier than crying. I'm really sorry, Earl. I think the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce may be going bankrupt. These damn dark elves used spells to blow up my warehouse, and all the inventory in it was destroyed. Now I am facing a serious debt crisis. If there is no accident, this place will be sold soon to pay off the debt.

Henry's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he thought it was a good opportunity. Anyone who can establish a chamber of commerce in Waterdeep City has their own channels. If you spend some money to hold this chamber of commerce in your hands now, then in the future, whether it is intelligence activities or trade exchanges, it will be covered with a layer of protection. After making up his mind, he said to Andrew: If you need it, I can give you an investment first, but I want the ownership of the Chamber of Commerce. But on the surface, you are still the president of the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce, and you can get 20% of the net profit of the entire Chamber of Commerce.

The fat man smiled all over his face when he first heard about the investment, but when he later asked for the ownership of the chamber of commerce, he lowered his head and frowned. After so many years of struggling around Waterdeep City, he has already understood that there is no free lunch in the world. For the chamber of commerce that I have worked so hard to establish for decades, I have a feeling that I can't let go.

If Henry only shared half of the shares, he would immediately agree without hesitation. But now it is a matter of ownership of the entire chamber of commerce, Andrew thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed. You are really a shrewd businessman, well, I agree with your request. But saving the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce will cost at least 400,000 gold coins. I don't know if you can get that much money at once.

Henry was overjoyed when he saw that the fat man agreed. He said to the sad-faced Andrew: I think it should be fine. If the gold coins are not enough, I can use some gems to pay for it. And don't be so sad. Don't worry, I won't interfere with your operation of the chamber of commerce on a large scale.

Andrew's face looked better after hearing Henry's promise, and he shook the fat on his body. Then let's sign a contract. After the funds arrive, I will settle the debts with other merchants as soon as possible. The Chamber of Commerce will be able to operate again in about three days.

Henry immediately took out about 300,000 gold coins and several bags of gems from the dimension bag. These things will be handed over to you first to repay the debt, and the rest will be used to maintain the daily expenses of the chamber of commerce.

Please wait a moment, I will draft a contract now. As he spoke, Andrew quickly found two pieces of parchment from under the desk, and wrote the terms with a quill pen.

A few minutes later, he wrote two contracts and checked them carefully before handing them to Henry. Count, please read the terms carefully. If there is no problem, sign it. From now on, you will be the owner of the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce. After speaking, he sighed again, with a little frustration in his eyes.

Henry read the terms carefully, and found that they were very detailed, and he couldn't find a single loophole. He turned around and looked at the fat man who was a little disappointed. Andrew, you can't be a hell devil, you can actually write a treaty to this extent.

The fat man laughed loudly when he heard this, and patted his chest hard. Don't look at me now. I also studied in Candlekeep for a period of time. The scholars who taught me praised me exactly like you. I still miss that time. If I didn't learn this knowledge, it would be impossible for the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce to develop to such a scale.

Henry looked at Andrew carefully, and felt that the fat man must have had a wonderful experience when he was young. Otherwise, you cannot have such meticulous thinking and keen insight. After signing the treaty, he handed one of them to the fat man. In the future, the chamber of commerce will be entirely managed by you. You only need to say that you have obtained a loan. If there is any other matter in the future, I will quietly send someone to contact you. I don't want anyone to know that the boss behind the chamber of commerce is me, do you understand?

Fatty nodded. Please rest assured, I will continue to manage it as my own chamber of commerce. After all, 20% of the profits here belong to me.

Okay, let's leave it at that for the chamber of commerce. Now I want to ask if you have any ships that can go to sea?

Andrew shook his head with a bitter face. If you came back a few days earlier, there were still two ships, but they were taken to pay off the debt the day before yesterday. Now the Chamber of Commerce does not have a single ship. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for two weeks. Then I will buy a few more merchant ships.

I can't wait anymore, can you help me get a ship? If not, we can take a merchant ship to Baldur's Gate. Henry asked with a frown.

Andrew lowered his head and considered for a while, then raised his head and looked at him seriously. If you are really in a hurry, you can try to contact the underground forces in the dock area. But I need to warn you that they are very dangerous, and they are very likely to make some bad moves on the way, especially if you are bringing two ladies with you.

Hehe, bad move! If they really dare, I don't mind letting them taste the torture of hell. Dai Lina snorted coldly and took off her hood. Since tiefling's appearance reminds people of bad things, Henry usually asks her to cover herself tightly.

The fat man was taken aback by tiefling's appearance, and the fat all over his body trembled violently. Oh my God! You brought a half-devil with you! Well, I think it's the damn robbers and hooligans that I should worry about. I'll contact you when I pack up the gold coins, but their boat fare is always expensive so you have to be prepared.

Henry glanced at Delina and motioned her to put on the hood. No problem, but you'd better remind them. The price had better not exceed my bottom line, otherwise I can't guarantee that these people will do anything. The half-orc warrior opened his mouth and laughed when he heard this sentence. He also stretched out his hand to touch his giant sword and throwing axe.

Andrew suddenly began to have some sympathy for these robbers and villains. With their behavior style on the road, they would definitely annoy Henry and his party. At that time, with a powerful half-orc warrior and a tiefling with hell blood, there is basically no possibility for ordinary robbers to survive. Moreover, this earl is also a well-known hero. It is said that he has killed more than 10,000 lycanthropes, hobgoblins, ogres, and trolls.
