Chapter 399: Borg Chamber of Commerce

Chapter 399: Borg Chamber of Commerce

Nearly 600 people had finally settled down, and all seven neighboring hotels had been reserved by them.

This was an extremely extravagant act. It was said that the entire entertainment district was in an uproar after hearing that they had reserved all the rooms in seven hotels. Many seductive women with heavy makeup came over, trying to make some money.

But they couldn’t even enter the door and were chased out.

These women were very delicate.

Of course, this was what the Elite Desert Bandit thought.

Due to Lord Kant’s order, they had to chase those women out despite feeling restlessness in their hearts. They wanted to cry. After leaving the Sarrand Desert, they hadn’t completely relax and had some exciting activities.

They had the chance to have fun and relax they were strictly forbidden to do so. This kind of feeling was really suck.

However, their duty was the most important.

They could distinguish between priorities.

At the very least, after arriving at the port of East County City, there would definitely be a lot of delicious food.

The hotel also provided food. After receiving Kant’s signal, Rolf also chose the more expensive ones.

For example, the most ordinary tender grilled river fish were all served in plates. The various ingredients brought from the Renistons River, such as beef, mutton and even crocodile meat were all piled up. They spent a lot of great silver coins, not caring about how much they had left.

Kant was now rich and powerful. Every month, the table salt trade brought in more than 100,000 great silver coins.

These delicious food and drink didn’t cost much at all!

Rolf was also clear about this, and he had no intention of saving money.

Since they were not short of money, they could eat whatever they wanted. The entire entertainment district was even more aroused. The owners of these seven hotels almost treated Kant and the others as the emperors. They simply gave them whatever they wanted, afraid that they would stay here for a short period.

Just the dinner alone was cost more than 300 great silver coins.

The dinner was treated as the level of the Viscount’s banquet.

After receiving the bonus, the chefs treated them with full attention.

For the hotel owners, the profit from tonight’s dinner was equivalent to half a year’s earnings on a normal day!

It was too sumptuous!

The hotel owners on the side simply watched all of this with jealousy. Their hearts were even filled with resentment. If all of this had happened in their own hotels, it would be as if they had ascended to heaven. Unfortunately, they didn’t get the chance.

Even the port management department had been alarmed and had specially come to the inn to check on the situation.

However, they had yet to arrive, people from the East County City had already come over to explain the situation.

All of them were so frightened that their faces were filled with horror. They withdrew one after another. Even the patrols in the entertainment district had stopped. It was as if they had given up on the jurisdiction of this place and allowed this place to enter a completely autonomous mode.

However, they gave the warning to the gangs that frequently appeared at the port, forbidding them from causing any troubles during this period of time, they could not make a move against Kant and his men.

If they were to violate this warning, the gangs would be completely exterminated. Not a single person would be left out!

This could be said to be the most complete execution order. Its tone was stern, and its attitude was solemn. It had almost caused all the gangs in the port to be so frightened that they stayed silent. Even if they had asked someone to go to the backer behind them to inquire, they would have received a similar result.

And it was even more severe, asking for shelter as if they were afraid of catching the plague.

This made Kant and the others very comfortable.

Nothing happened.

There was not provocation from the authorities or the gangs.

They simply treated Kant and his men as invisible people. The merchants and guards from outside still having fun. The gang members still causing troubles, but they just didn’t get close to the seven hotels.

Even the flow of people in front of the hotels was greatly reduced. They were afraid to get close.

Night fell.

The entertainment district of the port was bustling with people.

Kant had already left the street by now. He walked along the riverbank of the port with the ten Sarleon Lion Knights who followed him. They had changed into casual clothes, but there was a knight sword on their waists in case anything happened.

The 200-meter-wide river was a big river.

Sails were put down on the wharves on the riverbank, where merchant ships and transport ships were anchored.

This was still the scenery outside the city wall. Inside the five-meter-high city wall was the real port of the East County. Inside was a specially constructed port, where more merchant ships were anchored.

According to the records in the academy, the East County port could accommodate 300 merchant ships.

If it was during the autumn and winter season, the water speed became slower. It could accommodate even more merchant ships by that time.

There was a temporary dock outside the port, which could accommodate up to 500 merchant ships.

This was not the largest port of the Dukedom of Leo. The natural river in Lionheart City port was 500 meters wide, and its water speed was relatively slower, so it could accommodate 1,000 merchant ships in a year.

The Dukedom of Leo was a major grain exporter.

The agriculture in the South County was extremely developed.

It could almost be said that the grain in the South County could not only feed its own people but could also be exported to feed more countries.

At the very least, the human countries in the south could not produce as much grain as the South County. In addition, they had been fighting wars for many years and had conflicts with each other. They had neglected the development of agriculture and instead relied heavily on imports.

Back then, the Silver Platter Kingdom had plotted against the Dukedom of Leo for the sake of grain.

In the age of cold weapons, grain was the true foundation.

No matter how much gold and silver you had, without grain, you would have no population.

Without population, no matter how strong you were, you would not be able to maintain it for too long. In this aspect, the countries on Earth had a thorough understanding.

Although this world was backward and almost stupid, they still understood this concept.

Kant walked forward.

As he approached the city gates of the port, there were more and more people.

Torches were hung on the walls. Many laborers in simple linen clothes were still busy in and out of the port, helping the merchants unload the goods on the ships. They had to work even at night.

Time did not wait for people. The next morning, these merchant ships would leave the port.

They were either heading to the South County or leaving and return to their own countries.

It was already close to autumn, and there was a monsoon from the east blowing in. This allowed them to use this monsoon to swim upstream on the river. They did not need to use too many oarsmen which would occupy more cargo space.

This was the normal phenomena at this time, and it was also the busiest trading period in the Dukedom of Leo.

After all, autumn was also the time of harvest.

Kant did not care.

He went to the gate of the port, paid the entrance fee of 11 small silver coins, and entered the inner part of the city wall.

A more prosperous port appeared in front of him. There were warehouses everywhere, and the wide streets were filled with people. Even at night, there were merchants carrying torches and carriages full of goods coming and going.

“It should be in the east.” Kant muttered to himself.

He had already sensed the location of the ten Sarrandian Horseman in his mind.

He walked forward at a faster speed. Under the protection of the Sarleon Lion Knights, he followed the flow of people to the east of the port. That should be a residential area, which could be considered as the gathering area of the Chamber of Commerce that was permanently stationed in the port.

The poor could not enter the port to live in, so they could only live in the slums outside.

These people were also the source of labor.

The civilians and the guards of the trade caravan lived in the residential area close to the city wall.

Next to it was the entertainment district. Their task was to work for the entertainment district, or to act as warehouse keepers in the port within the city wall. It was a relatively decent job.

As for those merchants who came from outside, in order to ensure their safety, they would live in the port.

That was the east district.

Many large trade caravans had their own house.

If it was a small trade caravan, they could also buy a house together and separate the floors and rooms.

This was common in the port of the East County. After all, these houses in the eastern district were not just for living. They could also be used for negotiation or business exchanges. They were also equivalent to the offices of the trade caravan.

The reason why Kant came here was because Borg’s law office was here.

He could sense it with the help of the Sarrandian Horseman.

Soon, he arrived at a house.

A three-story building.

Two torches were lit in front of the door.

There were also two burly men wearing capes and holding long sticks guarding it.

When they saw Kant and the others coming in their direction with longsword at their waists, they immediately panicked. They gave each other a look and asked one of them to step back into the door. The other said in a low voice, “Hello, this is the Borg Chamber of Commerce.”

“Hello, I’m here to see Borg, the current manager of the Borg Chamber of Commerce.”

Kant smiled and extended his hand to indicate that he had no ill intentions.

The brawny man heaved a sigh of relief.

However, he still nodded in return and replied calmly, “Mr. Borg has already rested. Our Borg Chamber of Commerce will not be receiving guest after 7 o’clock every night. Please forgive us. If possible, please come back at 7 o’clock tomorrow morning.”

“7 o’clock.” Kant chuckled. “No, I want to see him now.”

“This…”

The brawny man suddenly became nervous.

However, just inside the door, the brawny man brought out an old man.

He whispered a few words in his ear and signaled the two brawny men to return to their posts. Instead, he personally came over and bowed slightly with his hands on his chest. “Excuse me, Are You Mr. Kant?”

“Yes, I am.” Kant nodded.

“Then it’s an honor to meet you.”

The old man lowered his head. “I’m Mr. Borg’s butler, the financial officer of the Borg Chamber of Commerce. I’m very honored to hear the news of your arrival. At the same time, Mr. Borg also asked me to welcome you with the most solemn etiquette.”

Kant asked, “Where’s Borg?”

“Mr. Borg is preparing. He’s going to attend the port governor’s banquet at 9 o’clock tonight.”

The old butler said very considerately, “Mr. Kant, please come in with me. Mr. Borg has entrusted me to prepare a room for you. If you don’t mind, you can rest first. Tomorrow afternoon, Mr. Borg will organize a banquet and specially treat you to a banquet to welcome your arrival.”

“Then let’s go in.”

Kant chuckled. “Borg, this kid has done well.”

“Of course, Mr. Kant. You may not know this, but just this month, Mr. Borg has taken over the rights to use three ports for five years, and the fleet of the Borg Chamber of Commerce has increased to five.”

The old butler reminded him, “The current Mr. Borg is no longer the bankrupt businessman of the past.”

“Oh, of course.” Kant nodded and smiled. “I see.”
