In the evening, Henry and his party arrived at the door of a trading house located in the business district of Waterdeep. The gate is carved with a beautiful bear-shaped pattern, and on the side is a beautiful floral script in the lingua franca that reads "Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce". When the orc warrior saw this, he opened his mouth and smiled, and he said to Hawke, "If you bring Ares, it will definitely like this here, and you can see the size of this bear above, it must be a female bear." Hawke sighed, he was immune to some of Vaughn's jokes.

Henry waved his hand and said, "No kidding, sir, this is where you're going to take me?" ”

Hawke nodded: "This is it, the owner of the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce is a tall fat man named Andrew. It is said that he killed a large brown bear with his own hands on the way to the merchants. Later, when he became rich and opened his own chamber of commerce, he used this as his name. In the northern region, he had his own trade routes, and he could often get some strange items, so he was able to gain a foothold in this prosperous place. ”

Henry looked at the size of the Chamber of Commerce and said, "Then let's go in and meet this Mr. Andrew now." Hopefully he won't let me down. Then the group walked through the door, led by Hawke.

As soon as he entered the hall, a huge fat man walked over, he smiled and gave Hawke a hug, and shouted loudly: "Oh! Captain Hawke, they all said you were dead, but I never believed the rumors. Now it looks like you're doing pretty good, look at this mid-fabric dress, oh my God! Is this the family crest of a nobleman? ”

Hawke pushed away the fat man who was a little too enthusiastic and said, "I'm afraid they're going to be disappointed, not only am I not dead but I'm a nobleman now." Please call me Sir Hawke in the future, and I've brought you a big client this time. ”

As he spoke, he pulled the fat man over and said to Henry, "Earl, this is the master of the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce that I told you, Andrew. After saying that, he turned his head to the fat man and said, "This is the nobleman I am serving now, Count Henry of the Angome Islands." I think as a well-informed businessman, you must have heard this name. ”

Andrew shook the fat off his body, made a noble salute with a smile on his face, and said to Henry: "It is a great honor to meet your Excellency the Earl, and your legendary adventures are widely known in this city. I don't know what kind of service I am fortunate to provide for you? ”

Henry stared at the fat man with a shrewd look in his eyes for a moment and said, "Mr. Andrew, I need a lot of rare ores. Of course, it would be even better if you could get some special parts of the magical creatures. ”

Andrew lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Please come with me, I won't casually display these special goods to ordinary guests, but you are obviously not among them." With that, he led Henry and his party through the hall to the door of the warehouse at the back. After entering the warehouse and continuing to walk for a short distance, Andrew suddenly crouched down. He began to gently tap the ground with a stone, and after a few minutes a stone slab was lifted up, and a dirty goblin crawled out of it.

"Master, have you brought a big customer again?" The goblin asked, rubbing his hands together.

Andrew didn't reply, he kicked the goblin into the pit, turned his head and said to Henry, "Earl, the next road may have to be a little wronged for you. ”

Hawke looked at the hole in surprise and said, "Andrew, you've never heard of you having such a secret warehouse before. ”

The fat man Ha Lu Ha Da smiled and patted Hawk on the shoulder and said, "My friend, that's because you weren't at this level before. ”

Henry looked at the low pit and said to Andrew, "It's okay, as long as you have the goods that I am satisfied with." With that, he followed the fat man into the tunnel. After walking in the narrow tunnel with their heads down for five minutes, everyone suddenly felt enlightened. It is a huge man-made cave that has been surrounded by a large number of wooden boxes and shelves.

Andrew pointed to the chests and said, "The goods here are all rare ores and magic materials, plus a small number of magic items. This is all the inventory I have saved up in the past 20 years, please take your time. If you need to ask, go straight to Tim, the goblin, who is responsible for organizing everything here. After saying that, the fat man pulled over a chair and sat down, and the chair almost collapsed with a "squeak".

Henry walked up to the goblin and said, "Then take me to see the metals and ores here." ”

Goblin Tim Mali ran to a row of boxes and said, "Distinguished guest, all the metal blocks and ores are placed here, please feel free to choose." With that, he opened all the boxes.

Henry carefully examined the contents of the box, and after confirming that there were no fakes, he said to the fat man, "I have all these ores and rare metals, and then take me to see those rare magic materials." ”

After hearing this, the fat man stood up from his chair, he looked at Henry in surprise and asked, "Earl, all these things add up to at least two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins." Are you sure you buy them all? ”

"That's right, do you think two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins is a big number for me?"

The fat man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no! I never doubted your ability to pay. I just didn't expect you to be so bold in your purchase. ”

Henry ignored him, and followed the goblin directly to the shelf where the special materials were placed. It didn't take long for him to find out the tail of the succubus, the silk sac of the Itt, the venom gland of the desert giant scorpion, the tongue of the Silla toad, the eye of the evil beast, and other things that were almost impossible to see in the market, he picked out these materials, turned to Andrew and said, "I didn't expect you to have some good things here, so let's help me calculate how many gold coins I will need." ”

The fat man carefully looked at all the magic materials, closed his eyes and calculated for a while, opened his eyes and said to Henry: "These materials are a total of 130,000 gold coins, and the price of ore is a total of 380,000. However, I can only charge you 200,000 gold coins, but there is one proviso. ”

"Tell me your terms." Henry said, looking at the shrewd businessman.

Andrew touched his fat chin and said, "I hope you can provide me with a certain amount of spices every year, and of course I will pay according to my four and six shares after the sale." You know, the merchants who bought spices from your island made a fortune last year, and the profits they made made me blush. ”

Henry smiled and said, "Mr. Andrew, you are really a shrewd and greedy businessman. If you could send some of the population to my realm every year, I would grant you that. ”

Andrew made a noble salute with a smile on his face and said, "Of course, Earl, if the population is not enough, I will go to Luskan to buy you a batch." ”

Heng looked at the big fat man with a little admiration and said, "If what you do satisfies me, I will consider increasing your share of spices year by year, and I am not just a business that can make a lot of money with spices." ”

When Andrew heard this, he immediately understood the meaning of the words, and he whispered to Henry: "It is my pleasure to serve you, if there is anything I need to do in the future, please do not hesitate." Seeing that the fat man understood what he meant, Henry nodded with satisfaction. After giving Andrew 200,000 gold coins, he packed everything into his dimensional bag and left the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce.

Standing on the street in the business district, Hawke sighed: "I have known Andrew for more than ten years, and I really didn't expect him to sit in this kind of business behind his back." If he gets caught by the Tower of Order, he'll go to jail. ”

Henry smiled and said to the old captain, "Sir, I once heard a saying that if a merchant has fifty percent of his profits, he will take a risk; If there is a 100% profit, he dares to trample on all the laws of the world; If there is a profit of three hundred percent, he dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of being killed. ”

Hawke pondered for a while and asked, "What a fitting statement, was that scholar who said such philosophical things?" ”

"A man named Marx. But he's dead. After saying that, Henry smiled mysteriously.

Hawke sighed and said, "It's a shame not to be able to meet such a wise man. After saying that, he took the group and began to tour the business district. As he walked, Hawke explained the area to the group behind him. Waterdeep's business district is open for festivals, with candles, oil lamps and magic flames lighting up the streets at night. Moreover, the major guilds have their headquarters here to serve the members of the guild at any time.

Henry walks around the area, and while it's not as bustling as some of the world's most famous shopping streets, it's still a bit of a flair. For example, the pet shop just now is very interesting, not only ordinary cats, dogs, mice, birds, but also some small pterosaurs, poisonous spiders and other dangerous animals. Henry even saw a young ursa in the innermost corner.

After a rough walk, Hawk took everyone back to his house. As soon as she entered, Juliet greeted her, and she asked with a smile, "How is the business going well?" ”

Hawke hugged his wife and said, "It went well, and I can assure you that the Count will be quite satisfied." ”

"yes, I never thought I'd be able to buy so many things at once. You must know that there are many materials here that are out of stock all year round. ”

Juliet helped her husband hang up his coat and said, "I've already made dinner, will I serve it now?" ”

The orc warrior touched his stomach and nodded desperately and said, "Of course, madam, my stomach is already rumbling with hunger. ”

Hawk smiled at his wife and said, "Honey, didn't you hear Vaughn, I guess in a little while even our neighbors will be able to hear it." "After everyone had come to the table and sat down, dinner was served. Everyone silently ate the contents of their plates, occasionally making a slight chewing or swallowing sound. After dinner, Hawke took everyone into the room, and went back to his bedroom to find his wife, Wen Cun. Henry looked through the window at the distant street scene in the city, and he secretly sighed at the prosperity of Waterdeep. I don't know when Ludao's own territory will be able to have such a large population and bustling commercial streets like here.
