Chapter 65: The Town of Ferrier
Chapter 65 – Ferrier Town
After the Second Northland Exploitation Regiment entered the Northland, the local bandits became professionalized, as many people gathered the idle bandits, provided weapons and food, and conducted simple training to form a more professional bandit group.
Although the investment was not small, as long as they could capture a territory, they would become the new nobles of the Northlands.
With a small investment and a huge profit, the choice becomes simple.
The good thing is that the deterrent power of the imperial border army is not ordinary, near the border of the empire still maintains peace and prosperity, thieves and petty thieves to beat up the mulligans, but the blatant group robbery is rare, because no one is willing to mess with the imperial border army, so Kerensi’s next road is smooth, there are no twists and turns on the town of Ferril.
Ferrier town is called a pearl of the northern border, its owner is known for its beauty of the northern aristocrat Ferrier countess, but also the entire north of the only two counts, her town is very prosperous, because this is almost monopolized the entire north of the high-grade fur market, especially every year sent to the imperial capital to auction a few pieces of the top fur, is the empire noblewomen dream of luxury goods, every time the auction will be a jaw-dropping price! to.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that such a town was flowing with gold, so naturally it was not something that could be established by an ordinary person, especially a countess who was known for her beauty.
In fact, there are rumors in private, Ferrier Countess is only launched to the puppet, the real master behind the town is the Empire’s border army of a certain big shot, and only such a grasp of the real power of the legion of characters can suppress those who peep at the Ferrier town convergence of the wealth of the greedy generation.
This argument although there is no real evidence, but the most market, after all, a woman is very difficult in the north of the cannibalism of the foothold, not to mention the creation of such a large base, so the more and more no one dares to easily mess with the Ferrier Countess, for fear that the same night by a group of border army like elite bandits to the flat pushed.
When Kerens arrived, found that perhaps because of the proximity of the imperial border line, perhaps because there is enough bottom, Ferrier town walls are not tall, only two meters high, thickness is only half a meter, enough to resist bandits, but in the face of war is very powerless, but this does not affect the prosperity of it, just the outskirts of the town seems particularly lively.
Not far from the town of Ferrier in the open space of the river bay, a large number of tents and camps like mushrooms after the rain as a clump of clusters appeared where, slightly crowded, the quality of life, not to mention, the upper reaches of the poop to wash his ass, the lower reaches of the water to cook in a large pot, the crowd has long been accustomed to, no one cares, are busy making money that.
Here is the common fur trading place, but also the southern merchants and northern merchants exchange place, just the daily trading tax, are enough to comparable to the small noble territory’s output for a year, not to mention the consumption during this period, bring the goods, even if only one month a year of the peak season of the fur trade, but still to the border towns to bring great wealth.
Kerensi came at the right time, after the beginning of spring, in the north of the winter hunting to obtain high-quality fur have been sent here, by the leather tailor here in accordance with the quality of pricing, and the best fur will be sent to the fur masters where the appraisal, divided into grades, which the most excellent fur will be sent to the imperial capital auction, and to provide the fur of the lucky one is often a night of riches, just the next is dead is alive no one cares about it.
So many people gathered, of course, it is impossible to swarm them all into the town, not to mention the cavalry, so Kerens rented a small camp with ten or so tents in the neighborhood, placed the cavalry, just wanted to ask the four mysterious people what they need help with, the result is that the turn of the head of the effort of the people disappeared, have no choice but to take a rider is ready to go into the city, who would like to go out and just met a familiar person.
This is a merchant who often goes to Mara Town, Corinth and the other party have dealt with a few times, so he stopped to talk for a few minutes, and by the way, to inquire about the situation of the town of Ferril, who thought that this scene has fallen into the eyes of the people who are interested in it, especially the camp behind him is still hung with the symbol of the Hydra family, and those elite cavalry is even more difficult to let people ignore.
Kerens hadn’t been gone for long when that merchant was grabbed by the wrist by a man.
“Cord you bastard don’t go to take care of the business of the Hedra Chamber of Commerce, running here to scare me, this can’t be done without treating me to a drink at the Rabbit’s Ear Tavern.” The merchant in turn grabbed Cord’s hand in a deadpan manner. “Just to find you drink, but the city’s rabbit ear tavern even if, my tent not only has good wine, there is also a good bacon given to me by others, go go go, go to my place to drink.” Cord laughed and pulled the merchant to leave, but now it was the merchant who was reluctant to leave.
“Your wine is not good to drink, say it, what is it that you want me to help, let’s say it first, I won’t do anything without benefits.” The merchant shook off the other party’s hand and said in a bad mood.
“Nothing else is, just asking for some information.” Cord didn’t expect to hide it from the other party, just smiled and said.
The merchant wasn’t stupid, turning his head to look at the flag of the camp behind him he knew what Cord’s purpose was.
At the time when Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce plotting a certain noble territory rumors he can know is not false, but who would have thought that the Hydra family hides so deep, the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce almost pit cried, not only the loss of a number of goods, but also due to the failure to get the maid led to the credibility of the damage, these two years have not recovered, or else as a northern head of the Cord how to run outside of the city’s ordinary exchange, in previous years can be traded in the city.
“A bottle of good wine is not enough.” The merchant who knew how to wait for the price to sell said meaningfully.
“It will definitely satisfy you.” Cord sneaked a money bag into the other party’s hand.
The merchant pinched his five fingers, his heart was in the right place, and he nodded with considerable satisfaction, but this was only the price for buying him a drink, and with regards to the information about the Hydra family, this point wasn’t enough.
Not mentioning that the Hydra family had fallen back into the eyes of the Hare Chamber of Commerce, Kerens changed into neat noble clothes, rode a white horse, and entered the city under the escort of a knight.
As a nobleman Corenth can of course enter the city, and is allowed to bring servants and guards, he originally wanted to let the four mysterious people disguised as his servants to blend in, but who knows that the other party disappeared without saying a word.
But this does not affect the plan of Kerens, at this time, the tavern in the town gathered people from all directions, want to get information, just keep your ears open, he will not miss the opportunity.
“Hare Chamber of Commerce.” Walking on the street, Corenth’s footsteps suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and once again took a step.
Of course, Corenth knew the relationship between the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce and his own lord, but as a smart person, he shouldn’t easily get involved in things he shouldn’t, such as the lord’s family matters, so he didn’t have the intention of going in to say hello.
