Broad World

Chapter 904: Chaotic situation

The unprecedented scale of riots in Ascatla gradually subsided with the retreat of the main force of the Mutual Aid Association, and the heavily-lost council was temporarily unable to restore the order of the city. It could only use the bridge as the boundary, and first protect the administrative area, the temple area and the city gate. Area.

The wharf area and slums were controlled by movie thieves, rioting civilians, and Robert’s guilds. The shopping malls were occupied by united merchants. The final cemetery was even more chaotic, with countless burial chambers being opened by tomb rob After they ransacked the burial goods, they discarded the remains of the deceased at will, completely desecrating the naked body.

In order to prevent the news from spreading to the inland and causing greater panic and riots, the six-member council completely blocked the information leading to the inland, and at the same time actively deployed troops in surrounding cities. Crimour, Psu and other cities have received orders. , Each dispatched 1,500 people toward Ascatla.

In addition to dispatching troops and generals, the council is still actively negotiating with the temple and the knights, hoping that the other party can send forces to quell the riots, but apart from the church of the **** of guards, the church of Haim gave a positive answer. The churches of Shanda and Talos, the **** of the storm, all sternly refused.

Since the former is a symbol of kindness and hope, they are never allowed to participate in the **** suppression, while the latter prefers chaos and fear to spread everywhere. Naturally, it is impossible to help quell the riots. Some priests even secretly joined the rioters. In an attempt to create more chaos.

As for the Knights, let alone, they are either paladins who symbolize kindness and order, or priests and warriors of the good camp. They can't touch this kind of thing, otherwise the completely depraved Anomam is the best example. .

Seeing that they could not get the support of the temple forces, the council began to ask the masked wizard guild for help, but it is a pity that the necromantic emperor Xia En VII is confining himself in the room on the top floor and trying to recover his strength. How can I take care of other nostalgia? What's more, now the senior members of the guild have reached an agreement that they will never interfere in the civil strife in Amn.

Magic was originally a sensitive issue in Amn. Most ordinary people are quite disgusted with it, so they don't want to continue to increase the people's hatred of themselves. Coupled with the help of Constance, who is bewildered by NES, they are doomed to receive no response in the end.

In addition, Renault Bloodhead, the leader of the Shadow Thieves Guild, was also unable to work hard. Only the assassins were sent to assassinate a few insignificant little people, and the real thug leader didn't touch any of them.

Since the day he cooperated with Henry, he had betrayed the Shadow Council, so for him, the more chaotic the situation, the better. It is best that the rule of the six-member council be overthrown, so that he can completely get rid of the threat above his head and become a veritable overlord.

Chaos and turmoil destroy not only order, but also people’s confidence. Overnight, a large number of businessmen dumped their properties at low prices, and then left this prosperous commercial city by boat, and headed for the nearest city to the north. door.

At this time, even a fool can see that whether the final council can quell the rebellion, Amn is completely finished, and the Baldur Gate, the capital of the West Hartland Kingdom, is rising. With the powerful deterrence of the floating city and the long lifespan of the legendary wizard, this country will gradually replace Amn and become a decisive force on the West Coast.

Of course, it is not only businessmen who fled, but also a large number of middle-class, scholars, and nobles. In short, all people with a little ability are running out. You can see the people waiting to take the boat northward at the dock for 24 hours. All the boat owners. They all saw the business opportunities bred in the chaos, and one by one they raised the price of ferry tickets more than 20 times.

But as there is a saying, the market is made up of both supply and demand. When supply exceeds demand, prices will fall, and when demand exceeds supply, prices will increase exponentially. Especially when you need to escape, no one cares if the price of the ferry ticket has risen.

You must know that crimes occur at all times in the city, such as robbery, murder, and X, but people who are normal in their hearts will not want to live in such an environment. The rich can buy expensive first-class cabins, while the poor are The whole family can only squeeze in the narrow and dim warehouse. It's almost comparable to that of slave trafficking.

Fortunately, the distance between Ascatla and Baldur's Gate is not far, only a few days by sea, so Shinnin will pass, otherwise the poor sanitary conditions alone will kill the entire ship.

In just one day, nearly 10,000 people left the capital of Amn. Dozens of large ships were packed, and even formed a fleet of ships sailing into the deep sea. If it goes on like this, it will take less than a month. I'm afraid there are not many people in this city.

The fleeing of a large number of people makes the situation worse, but it also brings a lot of business opportunities. Just like some capitalists like to buy at the bottom during the financial crisis, those big business people also see such an opportunity.

While they were still estimating whether the six-member council was capable of restoring the order in the city in a short period of time, Gevera took the lead, buying a large amount of stolen goods from the rioters, and then buying them at a very low price. Entered a large number of shops and land, swept all the most valuable real estate with a thunderous action.

Such a bold adventure made the entire upper class of the city look at it, especially those big businessmen who were still waiting and watching were both envious and jealous, all secretly cursing her to accompany her upright.

The businessmen are not fools. They know who is standing behind this young girl, let alone them. Even the six-member council is busy to please Henry. At this time, no one dares to provoke Govela and riot easily. When the people see the family crests carved with brown bears and Pique Jing, they will take the initiative to give way. The anger of the legendary spellcaster is beyond ordinary people.

One day passed quickly, and as the sun gradually set, people living in deep waters were about to usher in a chaotic night.

Although the appalling riot was yesterday, for most residents, there are even more terrifying situations waiting to be followed.

But none of this has anything to do with Govela. She doesn't care about the life and death of the poor. She is sitting in the most luxurious room of the Garden Inn, listening to the report at hand quietly, and at the same time secretly calculating that these stolen goods and real estate can make money. How much does it cost?

"We bought more than 3,000 pieces of jewellery and 150 pieces of precious art in one day yesterday. You can never imagine how cheap the price is! Those poor ghosts don’t even know their true value! A pair of six A hundred years ago, the artist Atlanta’s painting only cost ten gold coins! Damn! I can’t believe this is true! We are going to make a fortune! This is not a profit of several times! It is several times! Hundreds of times! profit……"

The old man responsible for reporting the progress of the work danced with his hands, his eyes were bloodshot, and the whole person was in a state of excitement.

As there is a saying, businessmen dare to take risks with 50% of profits; they dare to trample on all human laws for 100% of profits. With 300% of the profits, he would dare to commit any crime, or even risk hanging.

The low-price collection of looted loot is more than 300% of the profit, so he has long forgotten the so-called Amn law and made a fortune. After the generous dividends are received, he will go to live in other countries. Anyway, Falun mainland has no so-called extradition clauses. If he leaves the law enforcement area, he is completely innocent and good.

Of course, there is a prerequisite. That is to not violate the dignity of nobles and rulers. If you kill a noble, then even if you escape to the end of the world, as long as you are recognized, you will be sent to the gallows. The superiors in almost all countries are consciously defending this, because they don't want to end up in the same way one day.

"Good job! Immediately hide all the goods in the cellar. Now our fleet is transporting people who want to escape. After all, this is also a big profit. After this period of time has passed, we will transport things secretly. Get out. Remember, let everyone close their mouths. If you find someone leaking the wind, you should know what to do." A cold light flashed in Gavila's eyes.

The first time she ventured into such a big business, she said that it was fake not to be nervous, especially the real value of this stolen property is inestimable. As long as it changes hands, it can make a terrible profit. Maybe the chamber of commerce normally operates a dozen or twenty. I can't make that much in a year, it's faster than robbery.

Most of the people in the riots were completely unaware of the prices of jewellery and art. They basically sold them for money, and then bought food, wine, weapons, and armor, so that they could rush to the counterinsurgency army in Ascatla. Fortresses and walls were even built in some places.

The old man nodded fiercely: "Please rest assured, if someone dares to be crooked, I will make him regret coming to this world. In addition, most of our stored weapons and armors have also been sold. Several plots of land acquired. And shops are also very potential, as long as the city restores order, it will double and appreciate immediately."

Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice and leaned forward to ask in a low voice: "A mob leader asked privately whether he could help them get some large ballistas. They are willing to pay ten times the price. I think this matter is involved. It’s a bit big, if it is found by the council that it may cause a bad influence, so it didn’t immediately answer ~www.ltnovel.com~ to sell! Why not! We are merchants, we sell as long as it is profitable! Not to mention it is still ten times Price! But be careful when you sell, and erase all the signs about our chamber of commerce. Remember, pay with one hand and deliver with one hand. Credit is absolutely not acceptable at this time, otherwise it is very likely that you will lose your money."

Gevera gave instructions without even thinking about it. She looked exactly like those big businessmen who disregarded national interests. As long as she could make money, she didn't care about the law. You must know that the ballista is a real contraband in Amn, but she still got 20 from the mine in the northern cloak forest. Before, she secretly sold two to the nobles, but now it happens to be emptied at once.

"Understood! I'll get this done right away." After speaking, the old man bowed deeply, turned and left the room.

He has forgotten the law and morality with dozens of times, hundreds of times of profits, and there is only one shiny gold coin in his eyes...
