Warhammer Throne

Marienburg, Temple University District, central, palace complex.

The palace complex is the core place of Marienburg, where the mind and heart are located. Generations of Marienburg leaders work here and also live here. The earliest area here can be traced back to the Kingdom of Judun. When the king ruled, at least the foundation of the palace area was laid in that era.

Afterwards, Marienburg experienced many wars, the Norsca raids, the civil war of the empire, the invasion of Bretania, and then to the era of the Three Emperors, the war had also spread to Marienburg many times. Burn it and cover it, cover it and burn it, Marienburg is so tenacious.

The last time an enemy attacked here was 700 years ago. It was an invading army from Brittany. The famous Breton knight "Brave" Louis, this knight king broke Marienburg, looting a large amount of wealth, incidentally burned the entire palace area of ​​Marienburg to ashes, and declared that Marienburg had belonged to Britania.

Therefore, sometimes it cannot be felt that the Bretonian knights will always fight for justice. Most of the time, the knights are just restricted by the knighthood and lack excuses. The raids carried out by these knights during the expedition to Arabi are very cruel. They also slaughtered and plundered Greenskin and Skaven in the just-concluded Bafeng Mountain Expedition.

Of course, the stupid things done by the knight king Louis-the brave have to pay a price. The knight king’s obvious destruction of the anti-hybrid situation and the old world human alliance caused the anger of the fairy in the lake, Brittany Within a few years of occupation, the Lake God Witch led the Knights of the Holy Grail and announced the deposing of Louis-the Brave’s Knight King throne, and returned Marienburg to the Empire. The Knight King had a tragic ending and made a big mistake. The knight was deprived of all his titles and exiled to a small prison island off Marimburg with an area of ​​only more than 100 square kilometers, where he spent the rest of his life as a prison guard.

As the official center of Marienburg, countless large trench merchants, nobles and generals are spending money here, which is a demonstration of the city's success. Many government buildings are architectural treasures. The students came from faraway Arabi to study the works of the greatest architects on the mainland. Similarly, security issues are also worthy of attention. Congressman Marienburg is willing to give everything for this. They spend a lot of money. Capital, built an inner city made of marble and granite, four strong towers guarding the road, the only gate through the city wall is customized from the Eternal Peak, using magic guard runes and hard steel forge Become.

At present, the guard guarding the palace area is the personal guard of the Archduke Schultz-the Iris Guard, as well as the elite pioneer valet guards of Marienburg. These two units are ready to use the halberd Swords and muskets wipe out incoming enemies.

Inside the extravagant palace, a grand banquet was held today to greet the King of Brittania and the commander of the Ash Legion, all the business celebrities, noble families and famous artists and mercenary commanders of Marienburg. Here, everyone indulges in singing, sipping good wine, and gathering together.

At this time, no matter how many contradictions and unhappiness had been before, at least on this occasion, everyone was still amiable, talking and laughing. For the entire banquet, there is no doubt that the most dazzling one is the Knight Queen Suria. Today Ryan deliberately let his wife show off, and Su Liya accomplished this task very well.

But this is not the focus of today.

The banquet ended relatively quickly, because Ryan made it clear that it’s better not to have a banquet "open till morning", so the banquet ended in only three hours, and at the end, the second largest chamber of commerce in Marienburg" The president of the Gentlemen’s League, Viscount Casanova suddenly walked in front of Ryan and Sulia. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty Ryan, Queen Sulia, you finally have time to come to Marienburg. I didn’t find any opportunity to entertain you well, so I prepared some booze and booze gifts. Can I have a chance to find a place to have a glass of wine together? Or I also prepared fine tea from Aurora."

"Heh." Ryan shook Sulia's little hand. The King of Cavaliers was not very fond of Viscount Casanova. Obviously this was a speculator, but no matter what, he managed to hire and give Ryan at the critical moment. Here came the legendary duo of Gotrek and Felix, who played a decisive role in the crucial moment of the Great Bafeng Mountain Expedition. This point of face is to be given more or less.

But Ryan is different now, he did not immediately agree, but smiled at Su Liya: "What do you say? Madam? I said, these days, I listen to you."

Suria flashed with surprise on Su Liya's exquisitely exquisite goose egg face. The female knight didn't expect Ryan to really make her decide, and she hesitated for a while.

The Queen of Cavaliers wore a full set of Mocha black and white dresses today. As it was midsummer time, Su Liya chose a low-cut strapless fishtail skirt to expose the gully on her chest and her delicate skin like fat. After coming out, a crocodile leather belt outlines Su Liya's beautiful body.

In order to maintain dignity and politeness, Su Liya wears a pair of flesh-colored ultra-thin velvet delicate pantyhose today. This kind of handmade stockings is really as thin as a cicada's wings. Under the shining of the light, it showed a smooth and seductive luster, and the color gradually changed along the curve of the female knight's beautiful long legs, hazy and dreamy.

The supple, bright golden long curly hair hangs down from Su Liya's ears. The delicate light makeup and beautiful face make Su Liya show the queen's temperament and grace. It is the perfect fusion of nobleness and beauty, which belongs to Su Liya alone. The moving beauty.

Viscount Casanova looked at the Queen Knight unnaturally. He thought to himself that it is no wonder that the romantic Adabe would have ideas. As the second largest trench merchant in Marienburg, countless, he has never seen anything A woman compared to the beauty of this knight queen.

Of course, the business prince who is a human is just thinking about it in his heart. He controlled his expression and made an enthusiastic invitation: "My Queen, Lord Ryan and I have known each other more than ten years ago. Friends, since they are friends, they have to walk around for a long time, otherwise they will be easy to get involved, don’t you think? Besides, I also want to introduce a few friends to meet you."

"All right." Su Liya saw Ryan's encouraging gaze, and finally agreed.

Casanova’s "Slightly Prepared Gifts" is really not just empty mouth, but prepared. He prepared in advance a set of the most high-end high-level elven cosmetics, and a necklace made by the Marienburg jewellery craftsman. , With emeralds, sapphires, and rubies inlaid on it, the colorful colors make people's eyes dazzling.

As the queen of Ryan, what treasure has Su Liya not seen? She knew that for Casanova to do this, there must be something extremely important. She wanted to ask Ryan, so the queen did not refuse, but accepted it calmly: "Thank you, Your Excellency Casanova."

Ryan nodded with a smile, and then, Casanova led Ryan and the others to the lake pavilion in the garden, which was facing the water on three sides and was a great place to discuss matters.

Unexpectedly, Ryan met Li Jueye, the ambassador of the Aurora Empire to the Old World and a great Aurora merchant, Li Jue here.

This Li Jueye seems to be a little older. He is wearing a full set of Aurora official clothes, a red top and a lapis lazuli top, and a single eye with flower feathers. He is wearing a yellow mandarin jacket and a silk patch embroidered with a pattern of mandarin ducks. Wearing a pair of black full-frame glasses, but without a big braid, he smiled at Ryan: "I have heard about the name of the Knight King for a long time. It is an honor to see it today."

"Hello, Lord Li." Ryan just greeted him, and several people sat down one by one. Casanova looked at Ryan's appearance, feeling a little bit in his heart. When Ryan first arrived in Marienburg, at best, It can only be regarded as a potential stock, can only be regarded as a second-line role of Marienburg, and he is the second largest businessman in Marienburg. Although he is polite to Ryan, he still feels that this kind of person is more in the old world. went.

But now, Ryan is already the king of knights, one of the leading figures in the old world. After returning from the Great Eight Peaks Expedition, his power was so powerful that his position was unattainable. Even the most arrogant high-precision ambassador of Marienburg was in front of Ryan. Call him your Majesty the King obediently.

It was as if a world away, Viscount Casanova was in a trance. After a few people were seated, he hurriedly signaled the maid to deliver the fruit plate. The fruit was dry and wet. In addition, the expensive Aurora tea was also brought up, and the maid began to soak. Tea.

After a few minutes, the tea smelled overflowing.

Ryan picked up the tea cup, smelled the familiar breath, looked at the color of green tea, closed his eyes and took a sip: "Good tea."

"Hehehe, this is the finest tea sent from thousands of miles away from Aurora." Casanova said with a smile: "This time I traded with Aurora people. I finally got two boxes. If your majesty likes it, go. Time to take a box and go."

"Then I would like to thank Your Excellency Viscount first. Your Excellency Viscount first helped me and gave me something. This is really a lot of favor." Ryan said with a teacup and smiled: "I really don't know how to thank you. good."

"Thank you." Viscount Casanova smiled bitterly. "But I'm just worried that I might not be able to drink such good tea in the future. Aurora tea and silk are really rare."

Ryan and Su Liya looked at each other. Ryan blinked at Su Liya, and Su Liya asked with an instinct, "How could it happen? Viscount Casanova, I think, you shouldn't worry about this, right? You? The help to us, the knights, and the dwarves are all in mind."

"Hahaha~ indeed." Casanova smiled triumphantly. It is his most proud thing to change the formation immediately at the crucial moment: "It is a great honor for me to get the praise from Her Majesty the Queen."

After speaking, Casanova immediately caught a smile: "But this time, I want to say, Hugmans, Becker, Claude and I are really hard brothers, including Grand Duke Schultz. Both."

"..." Su Liya immediately realized something, and the female knight turned her head to look at her husband subconsciously, but saw Ryan put down the tea cup and motioned to Casanova to continue.

"Presumably Your Majesty Ryan and Queen Suria know the conditions of the dwarves." Casanova said sincerely: "Thirty-eight thousand dwarf gold coins, none of them can be less, and only three days are given. ."

"Regardless of whether the House of Lords in Marienburg can rush into 38,000 dwarf gold coins, we can't figure out the number of dwarf gold coins specified by the dwarf." Viscount Casanova He said to Ryan and Suria: "Your Majesty Ryan, Mrs. Suria, you must know how the dwarf gold coins have risen in the market recently."

The great impact of the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition was that a large number of dwarven gold coins flowed into the old world market from Brittany, and the exchange rate of the original dwarf gold coins from 1:2.5 to 1:3 fluctuated sharply.

So, did a large number of dwarf gold coins flow into the market and make the exchange rate fall?

Not, but it rose, soaring all the way.

The core reason is that the dwarf gold coin itself is of high value. The gold coin forged by the dwarf has good color, high gold content, exquisite shape, and durability. It is the hard currency of the old world. As we all know, the gold coins of the human kingdom are more or less. It is a little mixed with water, and it is really going to be melted. The value itself is not that high. Moreover, private coinage has been repeatedly banned. Many profiteers will deliberately grind the edges of legal coins to try to obtain precious metals.

Under this circumstance, bad coins drive out good coins, and everyone is vying to exchange for dwarven gold coins. As a way of keeping the bottom of the money and keeping its value, Marienburg and the old world banks are also vying to exchange for dwarven gold coins. As a reserve and a deposit, when a large number of dwarf gold coins entered the market, the dwarf gold coins were sought after by everyone for a while, and the exchange rate continued to rise. Now in the market, the dwarf gold coins to the imperial gold mark has risen to 1:3.5 .

"To put it simply, Hugmans and the others are already overwhelmed." Casanova sighed: "They are now gathering the army and preparing to counterattack."

"It's impossible." Ryan sneered, "My Viscount, from ancient times to the present, there has only been a rebellion in farming. I have never heard of a business that can turn the sky!"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty Ryan, really knows us who are in business." Casanova continued to smile bitterly: "Well, I also pointed out that after hearing the dwarf's terms, Hugmans said it was impossible to accept it. , It will never be possible. They would rather spend 150,000 gold marks to hire all the armies of the old world, or even use the money to bribe the high elves, than teach the group of mustaches."

"They are doomed to fail." Ryan shook his head: "The Imperial Assembly, Emperor Karl-Franz has already called the Imperial Assembly because of this incident. Of the 15 electors, 14 out of the 15 electors chose to support the dwarves' debt collection decision. Only the Magic Church chose. Abstaining, the high elves will definitely not participate in this matter, and for us, if the Judun Chamber of Commerce and they are going to war, then we will accompany them in the fight? Does President Hugemans think they can be my old man? An opponent of the Guards?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Judun Chamber of Commerce, they are destined not to be your opponents, but if you really want to fight, Marienburg must be in the flames of war." At this time, Aurora ambassador Li Jueye finally spoke. He said: "At that time, Marienburg will be forced to be closed for a long time because of the war, and commercial activities and the port will also be affected by the war. You Britta Nia’s trade here will also be affected!"

"You guys, are you interceding?" Su Liya took Ryan's hand, and the female knight said with interest, "For them?"

"For ourselves." Casanova chuckled, and he said sincerely: "The Judun Chamber of Commerce is not just a chamber of commerce. Your Majesty Ryan, Van Hoogmans is a descendant of the Judun royal family, and he has one in his hand. The elite private army, and they are protected by the empire, and they have a bit of royal pride. If they are pressed too quickly, he takes the lead and desperately, and Marienburg really fights, not only is it not what we don’t want to see, Even Grand Duke Schultz is not easy to explain, Mrs. Suria, Your Majesty Ryan, you are friends of Grand Duke Schultz, surely you don't want Grand Duke Schultz to be difficult, right?"

"Things become like this, everyone doesn't want it." Aurora Ambassador Li Juehe also said with a smile: "Huangtai's melon, how can we pick it again~"

"Hahaha~" Ryan smiled straight, thinking that the bourgeoisie has its own weakness.

To put it simply, desperately is false, and confession is true. The business princes are here to talk about the conditions, first put on a tough posture, and then negotiate.

Fortunately, Ryan was actually not ready to use force. Moreover, if force was used, the subsequent impact would not be easy to resolve.

Marienburg is, no matter what, a legal territory owned by the empire.

And Targris is coming soon.

"Your Majesty Ryan, we don't want to give this money, can you talk to the dwarf, take more time? Also, reduce the amount appropriately?" Li Juehe smiled and showed Ryan tea and gave it back Serve Aurora Pastry: "We, everyone also come to think of a way to make money with harmony~"

"How long is more time? And, how much does it mean to reduce the amount appropriately?" Ryan grabbed Su Liya's little hand and asked casually: "I need a specific number, otherwise the dwarf By the way, I can't say anything."

"That's fine." Viscount Casanova nodded, and he was relieved. Although the dwarf was not directed at him, if the fight really started, his business would also be affected. From this point of view, he The interests of the merchants of Marienburg are tied together.

"Do you think it can be like this..."
