Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 111 - 101: Establishing Trade Routes—Revenue Surpasses Count Engle???
Inside the castle.
A grand banquet was underway. To thank Thor and the others for rescuing the territory, Apron Niang provided an exceptionally lavish reception, even bringing out wine that had been treasured for years, as everyone drank heartily together.
"Sir Thor, it’s truly unbelievable. Who would have thought that there’s a noble alliance in the Northern Province?"
"I sincerely thank you."
Apron Niang raised his glass, a voice full of emotion sounded.
"You’re too kind!"
"It was just a small effort."
Thor laughed as he spoke, also raising his glass in gesture.
"No, no, this is not mere courtesy."
"Without Sir Thor and everyone else, my territory would have probably been overrun by those damned kobolds."
Apron Niang shook his head, speaking with earnestness.
"Sir Apron Niang, you’re exaggerating!"
"By the way, I wonder, Sir Apron Niang, what are your plans next?"
Thor chuckled softly and then, as if something came to mind, casually inquired.
"Oh, my Goddess, this is indeed a fatal question."
"Perhaps leaving is the best option, but I cannot abandon my territory or my people. I must stay."
"Pardon my intrusion, Sir Thor, but would you be able to sell me some weapons?"
Apron Niang sighed softly, then looked at Thor with hopeful eyes.
"Oh, Baron Apron Niang, you need to purchase some weapons?"
Hearing this, Thor’s eyes brightened, and he couldn’t help but ask again.
"Yes, I need some weapons. If my weapons were more refined, those filthy kobolds would never have breached the castle. I originally intended to purchase some weapons and armor, but those damned vampires at the Habbs Commerce Association have raised the price of Black Iron Armor to fifty Gold Coins, and Silver Armor has even soared to five hundred Gold Coins—they might as well be robbers."
Apron Niang nodded, his words tinged with helplessness.
Indeed, he initially intended to purchase some weapons and armor.
His territory has more than eight thousand people. If he could purchase enough weapons to arm them, even facing Tier Two Beastmen, he could hold them off.
Unfortunately, in the end, he had to abandon the plan, as the prices of weapons were too high for him to bear.
"Indeed, those Habbs Commerce Association people are damned vampires. My friend, if you want to purchase weapons, that’s not a problem."
"A few days ago, we acquired some goblin weapons, though you know we suffered significant losses to capture that batch."
Thor nodded in agreement and then spoke softly, pondering.
"Sir Thor, are you for real?"
"No, no!"
"Sir Thor, I understand your point. As for the price, how about basing it on the Habbs Commerce Association prices?"
Apron Niang was somewhat surprised and pleased, and couldn’t help but ask.
Just as he asked, Apron Niang suddenly realized and added.
"My friend, you’ve misunderstood!"
"How about this, I have some goblin Leather Armor here, ten Silver Coins per set, and Black Iron Armor for thirty coins will suffice. My friend, if you have the need, I can also provide some Silver Armor."
Thor shook his head, then pretended to grit his teeth and spoke.
"Silver Armor?"
"Sir Thor, you’re not joking, are you?"
Apron Niang instantly stood up, his expression showing delight.
"Of course, how could I joke about such things? If you need it, I can have my merchant caravan come over in a few days to complete the transaction with you."
Thor smiled as he spoke.
He was not joking.
As his clearing operations began.
Rajos Assad’s trade caravans also began spreading northward along with his steps.
Previously, Rajos Assad could only expand as far as the Maine River Valley.
But with the Minotaur attacks, almost all trade routes in the Maine River Valley had collapsed, leaving no choice but to halt.
Until Thor, along with the Maine Alliance, began clearing operations.
Trade routes were reopened.
And as the Maine Alliance continued to win, this trade route expanded further and further, becoming increasingly stable.
In just a month.
Various trade volumes increased rapidly.
The gains far exceeded previous figures.
"I was presumptuous!"
"You know, this really caught me by surprise!"
Apron Niang realized his impropriety and quickly apologized, but couldn’t help feeling excited in his words.
"I understand, Sir Apron Niang."
"How about this, I’ll notify them, and in ten days, my merchant caravan will arrive here, and you can negotiate with them."
Thor smiled and nodded.
"Great!"
"Thank you so much!"
Apron Niang quickly expressed his gratitude.
"No need to thank me, it’s just a trade!"
Thor smiled and raised his glass.
"No, no, I must thank you, weapons are what I need most right now." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Apron Niang spoke earnestly.
Thor chuckled and didn’t dwell on it further.
The banquet then continued with everyone.
Several barons, several lords were all engaged in conversation.
Everything seemed extremely harmonious.
