Chapter 47 Pearl Route (Part 2)

After Duke became famous for killing Hogg, Duke once again became famous in Stormwind for another thing——Pearl Route.

The reach and reach of the two events are vastly different.

Hogg, no matter how strong he is, he is still a monster in Elwynn Forest. For the upper echelons of the Stormwind Kingdom, Hogg was nothing more than a small local problem.

The appearance of the pearl route not only shocked the entire aristocratic circle of the Stormwind Kingdom, but even King Ryan was shocked.

The core of the Stormwind Kingdom, the Stormwind Fortress in Stormwind City, the magnificent white marble floor reflects the morning sun. In the octagonal royal reception hall, the royal guards holding sharp halberds stood straight as pine. Their armor is bright, their eyes are sharp, their faces are determined, and their alert eyes prove that they can deal with any danger. They are the elite trained by Anduin Lothar.

Since the handing over of the Royal Knights to Lothar, Lothar's performance as a young boy has never disappointed King Ryan.

It has been twenty years since he ascended the throne at the age of 20.

With black and brown curly hair, a sharp and masculine face, and a pair of kind but majestic eyes, Ryan in his prime looks extremely heroic.

Sitting on a white throne inlaid with gold, behind him is a lion banner with a blue background and gold rims printed with the emblem of the Storm Kingdom, Ryan is reading a report.

"Pearl route in the western wilderness? Earth mage Duke Marcus hopes to obtain the exclusive right to operate this route opened by him? The time limit is 10 years...Anduin, where do I seem to have heard of this name?" Ryan The king tilted his head and turned his eyes to his good friend and most loyal and reliable courtier.

Lothar has a handsome face, and his eyes always exude determination. Every curve on his face is so perfect, which perfectly interprets the word 'masculine'.

A head of long black curly hair over the ear, if it is changed to the second person, it will feel messy, but in Lothar, it is a special kind of masculine charm. The same handsome guy, the biggest difference between Anduin and Ryan may be their skin color.

Anduin, who has been training outdoors all year round, looks darker and healthier. Ryan's complexion looked pale from lack of sunlight.

As a childhood friend of King Lane, Lothar is also at the golden age of a man. Energetic and full of experience, it is the age to do great things.

Anduin Lothar took the report, quickly scanned it, nodded and said: "It is indeed him. I just submitted the report to Your Majesty not long ago. Duke Marcus is the second nine in the history of our country. He is a magic apprentice with equal qualifications, and he was promoted to Earth Mage on the day he entered the academy. He is a once-in-a-century genius in our country! He also belongs to the Wang family mage group."

Ryan smiled, with a sense of springtime warmth in his smile: "If this pearl route is real, then our country's finances will be much better in the future. Monsters are rampant in the Elwynn Forest, making it impossible to collect a lot of taxes that should be paid .You have been urging me to repair the walls of Stormwind, and it seems that the money is also available. But I have a question..."

"My lord, you ask." Lothar bowed gracefully.

"My home affairs advisor always tells me that unless I spend half of the annual treasury income to support a fleet no less than one-third the size of the fleet of the maritime power Kul Tiras, I can't even think about the sea. Why can this Marcus guarantee the safety of a route?"

"It's not stated in the application. But I will check thoroughly."

Ryan flicked the report with his finger: "I admire this young man who is determined to pioneer. If he can bring stable tax revenue to the kingdom every year, I can only charge him 10% of the tax. Well, Lothar, you can help me by the way. Let me warn those blind guys, I don't want to ruin the kingdom's seedlings."

"Understood, my lord!" Lothar stepped back with one hand on his shoulder.

Duke didn't know that he had already received the joint attention of King Lane and Anduin. He was currently listening to Valla's report quietly on a deserted island off the coast of Westfall.

The female Naga patriarch seemed to have adapted to her new role, and Duke was very comfortable with her low-browed and pleasing attitude.

"Master, I have collected more than 3,300 pearls of various kinds, including 31 [golden pearls] and 125 [black pearls] with the highest value. Excuse me, do you want to ship them all at once?"

Duke waved his hand: "That's not necessary, just keep one tenth here. I want to engage in hunger marketing."

"Hungry for what?"

Duke sweated in his heart: "Forget it, this is something you don't understand. However, you have to remember that the three murloc tribes closest to Stormwind City must never be conquered. Only those who have my magic You just sent someone to escort the imprinted ship, and the trading point will be set here in the future. When humans land on the island, you just leave a male Naga as a handover."

"Understood, my master."

"You step back first."

"yes!"

In the distance, three small cargo ships entered Duke's field of vision.

As far as he could see, besides Markaro, another unexpected figure broke into Duke's sight.

"Huh?" As the ship got closer, Duke knew that what he saw was not a hallucination.

Standing on the bow of the boat was a very dignified and noble lady with her blond hair tied back. She was wearing a long aqua blue dress, and she was a completely different world from Markaro and the young sailors in dirty shorts and shorts.

A 30-ton boat does not need a special pier, and it is not a big problem to berth on the beach by the sea. When the tide is about to ebb, the newly hired captain washed the boat on the beach. When the tide comes, it is easy to get the boat into the sea.

Almost as soon as the boat stopped, the lady jumped down excitedly.

This middle-aged lady is not a beauty. She has a pair of slender eyes under a relatively flat forehead, her brows are slightly raised, her eyes are clear but shrewd, her small nose is pointed and straight, and she looks like a woman. You can see that he is a very independent person.

But she has a unique temperament, with a keen sense of touch of a businessman, and that dignified ladylike temperament makes you very comfortable.

Xiaobu quickly came to Duke, and she obediently saluted Duke as a lady.

"Hello, you must be Lord Duke Marcus?"

"I'm Duke, may I ask this lady, are you..."

"I'm Jones, Elizabeth Jones, the only jewelry processing supplier in Stormwind City. I heard that you have a lot of pearls. I think you and I should be able to reach a happy cooperation."

Elizabeth Jones, the name Duke did not know. But Duke knows that there is an Isabel Jones who will become the jewelry processing supplier of New Stormwind City in the future.
