The forces in the Neverwinter City are intricate, and multiple gods are secretly intervening. The situation is far from simple on the surface. It can even be said that all the characters on the bright surface are not important, whether it is Archbishop Linton or Vanswick, all of them are small pieces, and the real characters are hidden under the water.
Like Shen Yan ’s contact with the Baron and the legendary magician in the Deep Water City, they came and went as they wanted, and Nasher could n’t even receive the news.
In addition, Lord Nasher should also have a few in his hand, the kind that will never be exposed in less than a critical juncture; Erebes should also have one or two in his hand, but he will not have contact with Shen Yan. Because Shen Yan is only Sister A's younger brother, those people may not trust him.
The only person Shen Yan currently knows hiding under the water is the Deszel who pretends to be Pastor Haim and mixes into the Neverwinter.
Now Shen Yan lives on the inner surface of Wudong City. The road looks wild. The starting point is Wudong Jiuwei. In fact, his eyes were blacked out, and the enemies and friends around him could not be distinguished.
No way, he was late for twelve years, and now it is too late even if he wants to build a network.
Since there are already signs of sick people in the urban area, it shows that Deszell is secretly experimenting with the effect of the virus, and it will soon be spread on a large scale. The outbreak of the Winter City's plague is close to sight. It ca n’t be controlled by Shen Yan and it ca n’t be controlled—it has nothing to do with the camp. Many orderly and kind guys are watching. They rushed up and only exposed the advantage of
predicting the future
.
So at this time, Shen Yan ’s best option was to temporarily leave a place far from the center, and wait until everyone ’s eyes were attracted by the plague before returning.
This is a plan that Shen Yan and Irebes have made long ago. They come to Wudong City to brush their faces. Sometimes, a bad impression is much better than no impression ...

"I heard that kid ... Erebeth's brother is back?" Lord Nasher asked melancholically.
Standing behind him, Alves shrugged his shoulders, would n’t you know if Shen Yan did n’t come back? Not to mention how much Nasher's eyeliner in the city, Shen Yan will not be willing to drink the few bottles of red wine?
If Shen Yan doesn't come back, those super wines are equivalent to breaking the purchase channel, and the "source" may be in another plane. Therefore, no matter Nasher or Jarvis, the first time he heard Shen Yan disappeared, he hurriedly sealed the wine and hid it again.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Ah--" Nasher felt very sad.
There are some things that he can't say to his subordinates, even if that person is his confidante-for example, he bought a lot of things from that store and couldn't stop at all ...
Not only him, but to Nasher's knowledge, the daily turnover of this unobtrusive shop is surprisingly high. If the customer is rich or expensive, don't say it or not. Don't enter. You must be introduced by someone to qualify.
This introducer is usually Fanswick, because none of the people who came in complained out, so he gained a lot of humanity.
Now ask Nasher what he wants to do most? What he wanted most was to collect taxes on this store!
Seeing the money flowing in, he felt distressed. Nasher felt like robbing the merchant ship ... No, even Tu Long didn't make money in this shop quickly! Don't think that tax is a simple matter. In modern society, taxes are taxed in a "scientific" way. The limit is to "unsatisfactory (too much to eat too many ideas), hungry and not to die (to starve to rebel).
But it ca n’t be done in the medieval environment. Tax collection here is simple and rude. If you do n’t rely on privileges to do business, you will wait for bankruptcy. 90% of profits. And the key point is that this is not finished yet ... the lord can change the law to designate new taxes. For example, if you have many windows in your house, he will charge a window tax, each of which is 15,000 ...
In the eyes of the lord, the businessman is his spare wallet, and he will never stop without stripping it clean.
So if Shen Yan didn't have Wu Dong Jiu Wei's skin, then he might as well close the shop as a dude. Precisely because of this skin, Lord Nasher has no way to take his "Taucent" store, because the tax will make the old guys uncomfortable, so he can only wait for Shen Yan to make mistakes in other ways.
In Nasher's view, how could a dude like Shen Yan not make a mistake?
However, Shen Yan seemed to have guessed his careful thoughts. Except for the item of "tax exemption," no other privileges would be touched, and he happened to step on the edge that Nasher tolerated. Lord Nasher made it impossible to keep up and down, only to watch him entertaining with his golden eyes.
His mentality, Alves, as a staff member, actually saw it clearly.
"You said, how can you get the money out of that kid's pocket?" Nasher asked softly.
"Well, it's very simple. Compulsory apportionment, fundraising, mutual gifts, and banquet invitations are all acceptable." Jarvis said, these were all methods used to pluck wool from merchants in the past.
"Not enough, you don't know how much money he has!" Nasher shook his head.
A gift of thousands of gold coins can sensation the entire Winter City, but it does not matter to Shen Yan, because he himself sells luxury jewelry.
These methods are for ordinary businessmen, thousands of gold coins are enough for them to hurt for a long time. But Shen Yan is different. Nasher feels that Shen Yan's pocket contains hundreds of thousands of gold coins! It ’s not just thinking about it ... Guang Nasher spent more than 10,000 on her own.
"... I have to find a way to make him righteously spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins." Nasher said to himself, Jarvis closed his mouth immediately-he knew that this expression usually appeared on Nasher's face At the time, it means that he already has an idea in mind.
However, 80% of the ideas that can consume hundreds of thousands of gold coins are a bad idea. In the end, not only offend Erebes but also fail to achieve their goals, who is really a fool who can earn hundreds of thousands of gold coins?
Although the two were shouting "boy, boy" here, if they really saw Shen Yan, the money in their pockets alone was enough to let Lord Nasher stare at him! So he feels that 80% of the matter is problematic, and the smart people don't interfere.
After waiting for a long time without seeing Alves, Lord Nasher had to confess to himself, "You said, how about giving him a fortress?"
"Fortress?" Jarvis was shocked, you ... really dare to think!

The Deep Water City regards the Winter City as a buffer zone with Luskan, but the city of nearly 100,000 people in the Winter City, even on the front line, also needs its own strategic buffer zone. Therefore, between the Neverwinter City and Lucans, there are sporadic distribution of five or six fortresses.
Almost all these fortresses were built in the prosperous years. At that time, Wudong City was about to be destroyed by the army of Luskan. Under the disaster of the extinction, the people of Wudong City built many fortresses in one breath! It is a pity that construction is easy to maintain and difficult to maintain. When the war subsided, the Neverwinter City's finances could not afford such a large sum of money to maintain last year.
In the end, most of the fortresses were deserted one after another. Only a northern fortress close to Shanglu, barely survived by collecting taxes on the roads.
Lord Nasher said that it was obviously those fortresses that had been abandoned-every fortress wanted to restore the old concept, but hundreds of thousands of gold coins!
"Isn't he the Nine-Winter Nine Guardian? Due diligence for the NW-Winter City is due, and the Nine-Well happens to have the right to recruit and train the militia. If we can have an additional barrier between us and Luskan, help us to land on Skan And orcs, it could n’t be better.
Lord Nasher said.
Although the money was not directly handed over, but to buy sand and stone, to hire manpower, to hire an officer, most of the money spent will be returned to the lord in succession.
"But the commander also only has jurisdiction over the fortress, and it is not a noble land. Will he really pay for the fortress?"
"Then seal it to him!" Lord Nasher waved his hand.
The last two days he finally wanted to understand that in the past he had maintained the status of a baron, and he had never been a subordinate, it was a fear of a weakening kingship in the future. But hundreds of thousands of gold coins can buy a noble dangdang in the deep water city, a broken castle and a piece of land on the front, this price is not a fool!
Jarvis opened his mouth and finally chose not to speak.
He is now 100% sure that Lord Nasher ’s idea did not originate from himself ... it must have been instilled in him!
Can a military fortress be seized out separately, and can the militias be recruited by itself? Haha ~ Alves felt that he had to leave it alone, and he must not have the slightest relationship!
