On the morning of May 12th, Lanya finally arrived at West Station No. 7. If Lanya didn't have magic power and couldn't ride the fire, Rand would have come over early in the morning and taken her directly back to the iron mine.
As a consul, Laniya moved slowly along the way because every time she arrived at a post station, she had to check whether there was any latest information or letters sent to her, and she also had to have a general understanding of the conditions of the intern stations along the way.
So during the morning stop, Lanya began to check all the messages sent and received in West 7th Station.
"Sister Laniya, look at this bit of information, it's so strange!" said Rei Haili, a girl who has been following Laniya since the salt mines. She is one of the few good writers in the territory, " Both Knight Dugan and Knight Pitt ordered a batch of magic potion wine from Knight Roll in the Lot territory, and also sent some information to the Chamber of Commerce in the Royal Capital and Maned Wolf City."
Lanya looked at the message sending and receiving records, "This Peter is an intermediate knight. He asked for two bottles of magic potion wine. The next time he supplies the iron mine, he will transport it with the ship? Will he also send it to the West 7th Station?"
"This is also very strange. This senior knight named Petreu asked the inn to help him transport a package, and specified that it was to be delivered to Knight Tierney." Rei Haili took another piece of paper, which was inside the inn. A record of the contents of a letter delivered by a fast horse.
"Who is Lord Lanya?" The door of the inn's hall was pushed open by a young knight, who asked respectfully.
"I am, who are you?"
"I am Tomokri Lanyuan, and my father Petreu Lanyuan wants to see you!" As a junior knight, Tomokri did not have the slightest arrogance towards the demon-free Laniya, whom he had never met before. Respectfully invite her to the station garrison area.
"You must be the Consul of Lanya! I have long heard that you are coming, because we are about to set off to the west and cannot pick you up." Petreu was still very friendly and respectful to Lanya, "Master Lant I have already said that I am waiting for you to come to the iron mine to take over the government affairs, and he would not be able to leave without you."
There would be managerial demon-free people like Lanya in any big family, and such people would all be close confidants of the clan leader. Petreu was well versed in the ways of the royal capital, so naturally he did not dare to offend her. Then he took out a list and said, "These are my family members. You can always give them orders when needed. In addition, I hope you can help me take more care of them."
Lanya watched Petraeu's pioneering team leave, wondering why this senior knight deigned to wait for her here, and even gave him some dried meat from Warcraft meat. As a close confidant of Lant, Lanya naturally has no shortage of Warcraft meat or any daily necessities, but she also knows that such dried meat should be relatively expensive to Petreu.
"Sister, there's something going on again!" Rei Haili came out of the inn and took a piece of paper. "Just now, an internal merchant fleet met with Sister Wendy's fleet. There was a man named Gatsby... Lan Yuan’s magician purchased all the pickles and hoped that the caravan would send them directly to the iron ore.”
"Ah? That's not right. The internal caravan can only collect work-point coupons. Shouldn't this mage have just been rescued in the iron mine? Where did he get the work-point coupons?" Laniya had no expectations for the situation in front of her.
"Is it possible that it belongs to Tierney or Dugan? Their credit this time is not small, and they probably issued a lot of work-point coupons," Lian analyzed, "But why do these two knights help this mage?"
"Whatever the reason is, I'm afraid this iron mine is not as easy to manage as the salt mine."
. . .
At this moment, Wendy was still in the cabin of the lead ship, staring at Dugan and Tierney opposite with Lili and Tania.
"Captain Dugan, if you need it, you can explain to the Viscount that there is no need to sell your work points to the mage of the Lanyuan family, right?" Wendy asked, "And Tierney, why do you want to Sell him the work-point coupons, but you don’t know that if you do this, the entire West 4 to West 10 stations will not be able to get pickles!”
The two knights sat awkwardly across from the three mages, listening to Wendy's scolding. It was indeed the two of them who had made the decision on the spur of the moment. They used their work points to purchase the materials for the mid-level monsters in the hands of the Gatsby wizard. Those came from Materials from the Hindukel Valley are relatively rare in the human empire.
"Wendy, when the lord gave us the work-point coupons, he didn't say not to spend them!" Dugan was scolded by the little girl and defended himself, "The adults said we should spend it as money, so we will use it. I’m here to buy materials, and you didn’t say you can’t spend it all at once, you can’t buy magic materials, and you can’t buy all the goods in the caravan?”
"But Captain Dugan, you can't think that Master Gatsby bought all the pickles and distributed them in the iron mine, right?"
"Sister Wendy, I think I asked Dakira yesterday. There is indeed very little salt in the iron mines. The food that many territorial residents and demon supporters eat every day is not only devoid of oil and water, but also very bland." Tierney also explained. In a word, in his opinion, what Gatsby was doing was no different from the merchants who were reselling supplies everywhere in Dragon Tooth City.
"But the internal caravan also sells salt! Soon there will be enough salt supply in the iron mine!"
"That's why we thought that even if he bought all the pickles, there would be no problem in selling them at the iron mine! The pickles and salt arrived at the iron mine at the same time!" Dugan explained, "Since he wants to buy it, he has enough money. , and it won’t have a major impact, so what’s the problem?”
"He shouldn't be allowed to get a large amount of work points!" The two knights in front of them had no idea of Gatsby's possible influence, and even acquiesced, but Wendy and Lili understood that most of the barbarians in the territory were Without any economic acumen, all the barbarians are completely dependent on Lant, the leader, to live together with the human race. Sooner or later, Gatsby's mischief will affect the relationship between the Galloping Horse Tribe and Yeqi City.
On another boat, Gatsby Lanyuan was waiting to arrive at the next stop with his partner and lover Sally Feilong.
"Why did you choose pickles? How much profit can you make from this?" Sally Feilong was a little angry. The two Warcraft materials she left behind were actually gone. They were replaced with so-called territory tokens, but they were purchased. Pickles as an alternative to salt.
"What do you know? What's important is not the pickles, but the two knights." Gatsby took out a clay bottle, which was the potion wine that Dugan had just sold to him.
For Gatsby, Dugan and Tierney are the only people in the entire Knights who can travel between the royal capital and the territory. They are also very prestigious knights in the Knights. Climbing these two people will open the door to the knights. The entire route from the group to the royal capital. For such a channel, it is natural to give a sufficiently hard gift.
"If we dare to monopolize supplies such as salt and magic potions, we will be sent to the orc tribe as slaves tomorrow. Pickles are not a big quantity and are not necessary. They can just open up the relationship between the upper and lower levels." Gatsby took a sip of the magic potion wine. Then he asked, "Have you thought about what message to bring to your family? Don't let them go back to the capital by then, and we won't be able to contact the Feilong family."
In the evening, the fleet finally received a reply from Lant himself: This business is legitimate. All transaction information that has been reached will be implemented. A new fleet will be established to increase the frequency of internal trade and replenish the goods in the western territories. Taini Ya's fleet no longer stopped sailing during the return journey and accelerated towards Yeqi City.
