Chapter 47: Pearl route (middle)

After Duke became famous for killing Hogg, Duke became famous again in Stormwind for another thing-the Pearl Route.
The impact and coverage of these two things are very different.
Hogg, no matter how fortified, is still a monster in Elwynn Forest. For the upper levels of Stormwind Kingdom, Hog is a local problem in the final analysis.
The appearance of the Pearl Route not only shocked the entire aristocratic circle of the Storm Kingdom, but even the King Lane was alarmed.
In the core of Stormwind Kingdom, in the Stormwind Fortress of Stormwind City, the magnificent white marble floor reflects the morning light of the rising sun. In the octagonal royal reception hall, the royal guards holding sharp halberds stood straight and loose. Their helmets are bright, their eyes are sharp, their faces are firm, and their alert eyes prove that they can cope with any danger. They are the best of Anduin Lothar.
From the hands of the Royal Knights to Lothar, to this day, Lothar's small performance has never disappointed King Lane.
Twenty years have passed since he was 20 years old.
With black curly brown hair, sharp-edged, manly faces, and a pair of intimate and majestic eyes, Ryan, who was in his prime, looked very heroic.
Sitting on a throne inlaid with gold rims on a white background, behind a blue-gilt gold lion banner with the Kingdom of the Storm emblem printed, Ryan was reading a report.
"Pearl route in the Wilderness in the West? Earth Mage Duke Marcus hopes to obtain the exclusive rights to this route he pioneered? 10 years aging ... Anduin, where did I seem to hear the name? The king tilted his head and set his sights on his best friend, the most loyal and reliable courtier.
Lothar's face was handsome, and his eyes were always exuded with determination. Every curve on his face was so perfect, and he interpreted the word masculine very well.
The long black curly hair over the ears would be messy if changed to a second person, but in Lothar, it is a special male charm. The same handsome guy, Anduin and Ryan may be the biggest difference in skin color.
Anduin, who has been training outdoors all year round, appears to be a little darker and healthier. Ryan's complexion looked pale and lacking sunlight.
As a childhood friend of King Lane, Lothar was also at the golden age of a man. Energetic, yet experienced, is the age of doing great things.
Anduin Lothar took the report, swiped quickly, and nodded, "It is indeed him. I just submitted the report to Your Majesty not long ago. Duke Marcus is the second-ninth in China's history. And other qualified magic apprentices, and promoted to the earth mage on the day of entering the college. It is a genius once in a century in China! He also belongs to the Royal Masters. "
Ryan smiled, and there was a sense of kindness in the smile: "If this pearl route is true. Then our country's finances will be much better in the future. Monsters in the Elwynn Forest are rampant, and many of the taxes payable cannot be collected .You have been urging me to renovate the walls of Stormwind, and it seems that the money has fallen. But I have a question ... "
"My lord, you ask." Lothar bowed gracefully.
"My home adviser always tells me that unless I spend half of the annual treasury income to feed a fleet that is no less than one-third of the fleet of maritime powerhouse Kul Tiras, I don't want to think of the sea. Why can this Marcus keep a route safe? "
"There is no description on the application. But I will check it thoroughly."
Ryan flicked the report with his finger: "I admire this pioneering young man. If he can bring steady tax to the kingdom every year, I can only collect 10% of his tax. Well, Lothar, please help by the way I warn those who don't have long eyes, I don't want to ruin the seedlings of the kingdom. "
"Yes, my Majesty!" Lothar retreated with one hand to his shoulder.
Duke didn't know that he had received the joint attention of King Ryan and Anduin, and he was listening to Walla's report quietly on a desert island off the western wilderness coast.
The female Patriarch of Naga seemed to be adapting to her new role, and Duke was very pleased with that low-eyebrow attitude.
"Master, has collected more than 3,300 pearls of various pearls, among which 31 [gold pearls] and [black pearls] 125 with the highest value. May I ship them all at once?"
Duke waved his hand: "It's not necessary, just leave one tenth here. I want to do hungry marketing."
"What's hungry?"
Duke sweated in his heart: "Forget it, this is something you don't understand. However, you must remember that the three Murloc tribes closest to Stormwind must never conquer. Only possess my magic You will send someone to the imprinted ship, and the trading point will be set here later. When humans land on the island, you just leave a male Naga as a transfer. "
"I see, my master."
"You step back first."
"Yes!"
In the distance, three small cargo ships entered Duke's horizon.
As far as he could see, in addition to Macaro, there was an unexpected figure broke into Duke's sight.
"Huh?" As the ship got closer, Duke knew he wasn't seeing an illusion.
On the bow stood a dignified lady with her blond hair behind her head. She was wearing a long blue dress, and she was surrounded by Macaroo and those young sailors in dirty blouses and shorts, who were completely from both worlds.
The 30-ton boat does not need a special dock, and it is not a big problem to dock on the beach. When the tide is about to ebb, the newly hired captain rushes the boat to the beach. In this case, you can wait for the goods to be received. When the tide came, it was easy to get the boat into the sea.
Almost as soon as the boat stopped, the lady jumped down in a hurry.
This middle-aged lady is not a beauty. She has a pair of slender eyes under her flat forehead, her eyebrows are raised slightly, her eyes are clear but her eyes are sharp, her small nose is sharp and straight. You can see that you are a very independent person.
But she has a unique temperament, with a keen sense of touch of a businessman, and a partial dignified lady temperament makes you very comfortable.
A small step quickly came to Duke, and she gave a nice ladylike gift to Duke.
"Hello, presumably you are His Excellency Duke Marcus?"
"I'm Duke. Excuse me, you lady ..."
"I'm Jones, Elizabeth Jones, the only jewelry processing supplier in Stormwind. I heard that you have a lot of pearls. I think you and I should be able to reach a pleasant cooperation."
Elizabeth Jones, the name Duke didn't know. But Duke knew that there was an Isabel Jones who would become a jewelry processing supplier for New Stormwind in the future.
