Release that Witch

555. Chapter 555 Negotiation begins

    This is Border Town…No, Neverwinter City?

    Edith walked down the ramp and looked at the busy and orderly scene in front of him, and could not help but be stunned. Although she had made all kinds of speculations before she arrived, she found that she was still underestimating the city. The area of ​​the dock area was three times larger than that of Kingdom Capital, and it was packed with unloading sailboats and concrete boats. The ore and coal placed on the yard piled up into a small hill.

    On the other side, ten Stream Ships are lined up in a column and slowly leave the trestle. Many people are still standing next to the embankment. The people on board were all dressed in uniform uniforms, standing straight along the sides of the ship, and the spirit of the show was even felt by Edith. In the past, this kind of expression would only appear on the winning Knight, who no doubt Not noble.

    The central part of the dock is a gathering place for merchants, emigrants and migrants. It is mainly composed of various types of sailing boats. After being disembarked, people are separated by a group of black people and asked to join the growth team to pass the checkpoint. The entire dock area is just over a thousand people, and such a bustling scene is even worse than Kingdom Capital.

    “The dock has grown longer,” Victor groaned. “Your Majesty is going to turn the entire river bank into a dock area?”

    (AlsoEdith noticed the other party’s words.

    “At least the fall here was not so broad in the fall of the last year,” he spread his hand. “Of course, there aren’t so many people.”

    “What are the levels that are doing, collecting taxes?”

    “There is no city tax here. Only when you sell things, you have to pay taxes,” Victor explained enthusiastically. “And the city is not free to set up stalls. All sales must be carried out in the convenience market in the square. Those in black are equivalent to patrols in other cities. They set up levels to register their identity and remove the plague. ”

    Not extortion and extortion? Edith made a look at his brother, who nodded and took out his money to prepare for the money.

    “No, Miss Conrad, I mean “equivalent” patrol,” Gem businessman smiled and waved. “In fact, they never charge extra cost – I know it’s hard to believe, but the truth is So, I was as surprised as you were when I first passed the inspection. Come with me, the merchant channel is much faster. ”

    As he said, after the black man verified Victor’s identity, he let the group pass all the levels, and a copper royal did not ask for it.

    “Next, I have to find a clean and comfortable hotel, and then turn to the convenience market,” he turned his head. “What are your plans, Miss Conrad?” If you are not familiar with this place, I can help you. ”

    “Thank you,” Edith said with a grateful look. He pinched his skirt and bowed his knees. “You helped me a lot along the way. This is enough…I will go to City Hall for help, and I should be able to find the news of my loved ones. ”

    “It’s just a matter of raising your hand…It is my pleasure to be able to get to know your outstanding noble lady. Please don’t hesitate. ”

    After shirking it, Edith managed to get rid of Victor’s entanglement. Finally, when the businessman said goodbye, he continued to wave at her, saying that if he was in trouble, he could go to the Holy Mountain Hotel to find him.

    “Sister, you are really popular,” Kohl grinned.

    “Yeah?”Edith gave him a look. “What should you call me?”

    “Oh…cough cough, Ms. Edith,” Duke couldn’t help but tremble. “Let’s go to the hotel to stay?”

    “No, go to the castle to submit the documents first,” she said without hesitation. “Get in touch with Your Majesty as soon as possible.”

    “But we don’t have a head…”Kohl whispered.

    “Then there is no head,” Edith shrugged. “Remember the things I told you?” Showing the sincerity, the loyalty of the Kant family is not only represented by two heads. ”

    And even if there is, it is estimated that it has long been stinking – it is not a good idea to hold two heads that are not corrupt and not dedicated to Your Majesty. She thought that since the other party left Kingdom Capital, everything has deviated. Book Orbit.

    What to do, it depends on the specific situation decision. Ultimately, the negotiator’s ability is the key factor in determining the outcome of the negotiations.

*******************

    “Your Majesty, an envoy from Northern Lands, is waiting outside the castle, hoping to get your interview,” personal guard Sean walked into the office and reported that “the leader claimed to be the second son of the current northern region Duke Calvin Kant, Kohl Kant. . Barov has checked the voucher and family emblem and should not be forged. ”

    “Northern Lands ?”Roland accidentally put down the design drawings in his hand. “Isn’t that Timothy’s site, do they have any instructions?”

    “Yes,” the personal guard was excited, “Sir Kohl said that Duke is willing to owe you allegiance.”

    Takes initiativeIf it works, he frowns, which is really a trouble. In terms of the intention, he does not need the loyalty of a feudal lord, which not only does not help the development of the kingdom, but also impacts the current centralized system. Roland hopes that the other side will have a glimpse of the territory and wait for him to swept past. Only by thoroughly crushing the old forces can we establish a centralized power.

    However, it was not seen or not. The other party sent an envoy group and was deliberately left aside. It may cause other nobles to lose their luck and decide to unite. This is not a military problem. He is mainly worried about the people who will spread to the eastern region and Northern Lands. Roland has regarded the people of the kingdom as their own wealth and naturally wants to keep as many people as possible.

    After thinking for a moment, he slowly nodded. “Take them to the living room, and call Barov together.”

    “Yes.Sean is excited.

    Looking at the look of the personal guard, I thought that as a result, the whole kingdom is left without the East.Roland thought, just that sometimes things are not as simple as they seem.

    At the same time he also made a decision.

    In any case, the right to take back the fief noble is a principle that will never waver. This must be accurately expressed to all nobles to show their determination to reform the New Deal. If the rebellion noble dares to start with the people, then it will pay a heavy price for this.

……

    Into the living room, only two people in the envoy group sat at the long table, one of them should be Duke’s second son Kohl Kant, and the other let Roland’s eyes shine slightly – it was a woman with good looks, it should look like It is the deputy of Sir Kohl, but the momentum is more compelling than the Jazz himself.

    Of course, in terms of appearance, witch is the most dazzling pearl, so Roland is not too concerned about it. After all, the assistants of this era are likely to play the role of a lover or a maid.

    “Esteemed Your Majesty, my father is here,” Kohl bowed up respectfully and quickly showed his intentions. “The northern region Duke has a gift for you.”
