Chapter 94 is like a spring's tongue Jedi's reception room is actually the original office of Devar, but since it has been changed to the First Financing Bank of the Principality, to a large extent, it has performed the functions of a bank of banks, and has done very little specific and direct business for customers, and this office no longer deals with specific business, but a place for bankers to negotiate cooperation and margin trading.
As a result, the office was renovated, the heavy oak filing shelves and the huge hardware safe were removed, and there were no more piles of papers on the desk.
There are four sets of luxurious snow lion leather sofas in the cabinet, and the sofa is in the position of the majestic lion head, which is very comfortable to the touch, and although it is southern, it will not feel stuffy to sit on such a sofa.
There is a bouquet of flowers that seem to be in full bloom forever on several tables, and there is crystal dew on them, and the furnishings are simple and generous.
On one side of the gold-filled boss table is a pure crystal fish tank, which is stocked with rare ornamental fish, and a vine plant hangs from the ceiling.
A dark green lizard crawled on the vine and probed its head to look at the two guests.
There is no large crystal lamp in the house that is customary for the decoration of wealthy families, and a moonstone is inlaid in the ceiling in the center of the room, and the walls and corners of the room are inlaid with large diamonds mined from Mount Tobia, which are cut by famous craftsmen according to the location and characteristics of the house, and can spread soft light to any corner of the room.
Such decorations are rich and not tacky, but in the eyes of the elves, who worship nature and pursue beauty to a morbid degree, these are naturally dismissive.
Nightstar and Blaze didn't even sit down, they just stood in the room.
A cloak covered their bodies, and their draped hats made it impossible to see their features, the only thing that was certain was that they were slender and graceful in their manners, which was by no means ordinary.
The servant stood respectfully at the door, and there were two cups of tea on several tables, the tea was emerald, and there was only one tea leaf in each exquisite teacup, which was brewed like a small boat, gently rippling in the water.
This is the most precious tea, its name is "Yiye", and they have never taken a sip of such a precious tea.
Nightstar was standing in front of Jedi's desk, where there was a sign made of pure gold, Jedi Thackle's name inlaid with fine diamonds in the direction of the door, and a map of the continent in the direction of the office chair.
Night Star stood there, flicking the sign with his fingers, looking impatient.
"I'm sorry, I'm taking inventory below, hehehe, I've kept you two waiting", Jedi was halfway through his reasoning, and suddenly thought of what he had counted, and laughed to himself first.
However, it would not be wrong to say that he was taking stock of the best treasures in his own collection, Helen had long been a forbidden treasure in his heart.
"You go out" Seeing that the two guests just turned around and looked at him lightly, Jedi hurriedly waved his hand and ordered the servant to stand down.
The servant hurriedly agreed, and when he exited the door, he gently closed the door.
Today's Jedi status is not trivial, and it is rare for someone to dare to show such grandeur in front of him, and this servant even suspects that it is the son of the Norman Grand Duke who disguised himself to meet his master.
The door slammed shut, and Jedi made a gesture to sit down and chuckled, "Don't worry, this room is very well soundproofed, including the magic barrier.
As soon as the door is closed, no one can break in unless I open it inside, or use a key outside, and it doesn't have to be covered so tightly. ” Night Star snorted coldly, took off the hat on his head, and the blazing flames lifted the veil with it.
The two of them are a very beautiful couple, their facial features are the delicate and delicate feeling of elves, pointed ears, turquoise eyes, night stars and long emerald green hair, which looks really pleasing to the eye.
Although the Tagore Empire forbade the capture and sale of elves, this kind of thing was repeatedly forbidden.
The elves, who are known for their beauty, have always been the favorite of dignitaries and nobles, not only elven girls, but also elven men are also the targets of hunters.
And because the proportion of elf men is far less than that of women, the price is even higher than that of female elves, and it is not only female nobles who buy them, but also many male nobles.
Even some aristocrats bought them back as openly as internal favorites as women, so that it is not uncommon for a male elf to become the common lover of this aristocratic couple, and the erosive and ugly nature of their affairs is really indescribable.
Night Star is arrogant and fearless of his superior skills, but if he shows up openly, he will inevitably attract the attention of some greedy hunters, so he dresses up like this.
He took off his hat and said lightly: "You invited us to come, we came, you said last night that you would give Mr.
De Waal justice, and we want to hear how you will compensate us now" Jedi walked past him, slowly sat down on his high-backed chair, and turned around leisurely, clasping his hands together, his fingers beating lightly like playing a piano, and pondered for a moment before he said, "My reason was very clear last night, and I believe Miss Blaze understands what I mean, so Jedy Goldsmith will not be able to hand it back to the Dewar Goldsmith's Shop." ” He spread his hands and let Blaze and Nightstar look at the room: "You have also seen that the functions performed here are no longer what Mr.
Dewar was when he was here, and even if I was willing to let go, the Grand Duke and General von Her would not agree, and it was impossible for Mr.
Dewar to return here."
Therefore, I would like to satisfy Mr. de Waal in another way of compensating. ” Blazing Flame struggled to control the heat on her face that she had forgotten about last night, but as soon as she saw Jedi, the fragrant scene on the green grass by the spring in the moonlight couldn't help but come to mind.
This incident stimulated her so much that she always felt uncomfortable facing Jedi.
She secretly adjusted her breathing before asking, "How do you want to compensate him?"
Jedi said confidently, "I have compensated him much more money than the shop he runs, and Mr.
Dewar is disappointed only because he has lost his business.
So, if I give him a career, won't it be very profitable to open a bank, do you know which line of business in this world is the most profitable?"
Night Star and Blazing Flame looked at each other, most of them lived in the deep mountains and jungles, advocating primitiveness and nature, where did they know these things, but Night Star was willing to admit that he was ignorant, he said disdainfully: "We are not interested in this, and we don't want to know." ” Jedi smiled faintly and said, "But Mr.
Dewar is interested" The elves are notoriously stubborn, in fact, their exquisite craftsmanship is not below the dwarves, when it comes to practicality and quality, the two races are on par, and the items made by the elves are even more beautiful, even if it is a toilet, it is a rare work of art.
But the difference between the two is that the elves pursue such superb skills purely to satisfy their pursuit of beauty.
Not with dwarves.
Dwarves often exchange their forged items for their necessities of life with humans, so humans and dwarves have a close relationship, and Dewar, as a poor human child, can also learn skills from dwarves, which shows the increasingly close relationship between dwarves and humans.
Although the elves' archery skills are famous all over the world, they have never heard of a human being who has been accepted as a disciple by them.
They are a solitary and self-sufficient race, and the elves occasionally migrate, but wherever they go, they carry with them the seeds of the tree of life and the fountain of life, which the elves regard as the supreme of their existence, which provides the material basis for their survival.
In fact, elves can't survive without the Tree of Life, of course.

It's just that since ancient times, they have been accustomed to this kind of self-sufficient life, and at the same time, they have confined themselves to a small circle of self-isolation and do not seek development, so they are also a people who maintain relatively ancient customs and traditions.
Jedi didn't expect to do business with elves at all, and it was easier to talk to an elven prince than to talk to a donkey.
His target was Blazing, the half-elf who had been raised by the dwarves since he was a child in Ironforge.
The former fierce King of Demon Wolves and later the Warcraft Ranger Jedy Thackle, after two years of business career edification, in front of these two rookies, he can be regarded as a scheming entrepreneur.
He smiled slyly, picked up a swan feather pen and played with it in his hand, and said to Blazing, "Miss Blazing, as far as I know, although the place in Ironforge is a huge dwarven city, the standard of living there can be said to be extremely miserable compared to well, compared to human cities like Baptiste, isn't it?"
Blazing Flame retorted unconvinced: "Ironforge Fort is the happy home of the dwarves, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people there are very happy, how can it be so bad as you say" "Oh, don't be angry, of course, it's really beautiful, and the people are simple.
However, where is the ale wine that the dwarves like to drink, your father-in-law may have to fight for a day, tired and exhausted, so he is willing to go to the tavern to drink two glasses, is it because the food produced there is not enough to make bread for three meals a day, where is it willing to be used to make wine, they need to spend a lot of money to buy grain from humans to make wine?
The dwarves like to smoke, and they have the energy to work with a cigar in their mouths.
However, most dwarves do not have or can only buy low-quality cigarettes.
For the same reason, no money.
In addition, the fertility of dwarves is far inferior to that of humans, but the infant mortality rate is too high, and the continuation of the race will always be a heavy burden for them.
Because there is a lack of adequate medicines and the hygiene is not very good."
Blazing was silent, her stepfather had a child of his own, but due to the difficult conditions in the mountains, the baby was prone to die of illness and died at the age of nine.
There are so many such things.
It is only because of the long lifespan of dwarves and the fact that they are much more fertile than elves that the size of the population has not shrunk.
It was true that the living conditions in the Dwarven Kingdom were far more harsh than in the human cities, though she was reluctant to admit it.
"I'm just going to give you just a few of the most common examples of everyday life, but dwarves are very industrious and highly skilled, but the area they live in inherently limits their development.
Although the tools they make are of excellent quality, they are often deceived by some profiteers when they are sold in the human market, and they are also exploited by officials at all levels, and in the end they do not have much money. ” As he said this, he threw down his pen and leaned forward slowly, with the most sincere smile on his face, and said, "Now, I can help the dwarves improve their lives."
The dwarves can wave their strong arms, carry the finest snow boxes, and earn a lot of gold every day at the tinkling of the blacksmith without worrying about sales or price.
I can send people to buy all kinds of products and pay them the money at a fair price, and there are no layers of official cards and corrupt officials to collect high taxes from them.
They don't have to pay so much for food, cigars, medicines, and other necessities, and I can even send some doctors to help the dwarves improve their medical skills. ” Blazing couldn't help but be thrilled when he heard this.
Jedi rolled his eyes and said, "The dwarves are an honest and simple people, and they are not good at business.
And because of their mutual distrust, dwarves and humans have never done a lot of business with each other, which is a problem, but I think I can convince them.
I tell you, never does not mean never.
The opportunity to cooperate is now here, and it is a confidential matter, and I can't say much without an agreement.
But I'm sure you've learned a little from what you've seen and heard along the way.
In short, the world is not at peace now, and the great empire that has been calm for thousands of years is no longer peaceful.
So, what was once impossible is now becoming possible.
The life of a dwarf can be changed as long as they are willing to work hard.
If I send someone to talk to you directly, I'm afraid you won't be able to believe it, so that Mr. de Waal will have a place to play.
Let him be an intermediary agent, it's a big business, and his personal estate will soon grow like a snowball, and the dwarves will make a steady profit from it, and completely improve their lives, you see."
Blazing Flame's heart moved, she thought about it for a moment, and said cautiously: "What you said is true, how can I be sure that you are not lying to me again" Jedi spread his hands and said, "We can sign a contract with Ironforge in the name of the Norman Duchy, we will provide the order, and Ironforge will provide the goods.
Mr. de Waal can be the agent of Ironforge, and I believe he can judge the legal validity of the contract and the operability of the matter.
We can make an advance deposit to ensure that the dwarves have no losses at all. ” "Blazing" Night Star frowned, but only called out but didn't know what to say.
The elves are tall, but he can't ask the dwarves to eat only fruit like him.
Dwarves are short, but they have big, very large appetites, and they like to eat meat, they like to drink, they like to smoke, they like to smoke all things, and they need to rely on humans for all of this.
Nightstar has his way of life as an elf, but he has no reason to stop another people from finding happiness.
His cousin's affection for the dwarves was deeper than that of the elven tribe, and Nightstar knew it, so he only called for a word and shut up.
This would improve the lives of the dwarves in Ironforge and reinvigorate Mr.
Devar, but it was too much for the Blazing Flame to lure, and after struggling for a while, she accepted the bait that Jedi had thrown.
Blazing nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, I agree, I'll tell Mister Dewar about this, and show the Dwarven King, but I can't promise they'll accept it." ” "Of course," Jedi stood up and said with a smile, "but I hope you bring the news as soon as possible, this is very important, very important, and urgent."
In addition, please keep it strictly confidential."
"Why" Blazing Flame became alert again, and immediately asked, "What plot do you have, why don't you dare to let others know".
Jedi said disapprerovingly: "Of course, what businessman would disclose his customers, orders and prices?
” Blazing blushed, his expression a little sneering.

Jedi walked around from behind the table and said with a smile, "I really hope to work with Ironforge soon."
Would you like to stay and have dinner with me, and I can arrange a sumptuous dinner for you."
"No need" The elven prince turned around abruptly: "Flame, let's go, I hope this condition can satisfy Mr.
Dewar" He really doesn't want to stay here anymore, if he talks about archery, then he is the sun in the limelight; If you talk about aesthetics, he's definitely an artist; But when it comes to business, he feels like a fool.
He didn't like it, very much The door opened, and the cousins put their hats on their heads with two layers of black veil on them and walked out of Jedi's reception room.
Jedi rubbed his chin and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, as Mr.
Dewar, a former banker, was about to become an arms dealer.
Of course, not only munitions, but also the medicine and luxury goods that the dwarves need, they can also make a lot of money for themselves.
As for the dispatch of the medical team, it only takes a year or two to determine what kind of influence he will have in the Dwarven Kingdom He's just getting a crack in it.
Jedi smiled slightly: With the sophisticated weapons provided by the Dwarven Empire, General von Hull's ambition must be even more inflated.
If a person in charge of a heavy army is ambitious, what does it mean that the war will spread more fiercely and farther?
