Chapter 442 1.441 Some important branches that affect the direction of the plot
"Master, this is a relic of the Dragon Worship Cult. It is said that a powerful dragon priest is buried inside, guarding the dragon language wall engraved with powerful words." The relevant information of the Gaomen ruins was found in , and the approximate location of the ruins was marked on the map.

It is located at the junction of the Whiteland Territory, the Yar Border Territory and Hafingar, the three major territories.Just a short distance from the eastern edge of Solitude's Kraft Delta.Just beyond the eastern edge of the Kraft Delta is the vast Sea of ​​Ghosts.

"Master, wait for the Storm Prospect to return from the gallows rock before going to the Gaomen ruins." The housekeeper suggested.

"Alright." The lord realized that three adventure teams were not enough.

"Master, there is also news about the events related to the Blackthorn family in Rift Valley City." Violet Jenned, who is in charge of the night veil, received a secret report.

"There's been a lot of news lately." The lord said with a smile.

Not long ago, after completing the adventure of retrieving the Jagged Crown and returning via the Night Gate Hotel, Wu Chen had read two private letters intercepted by Nightingale Kalia.Both letters are related to the Blackthorn family in Rift Valley City and the Snowman Territory.

A letter was written by Sabjon, the owner of Snowman Mead, to Marwen Blackthorn of Rift Valley City, saying that reasonable business competition is harmless, but Marwen secretly hired thugs and the Thieves Guild to rob him of two shipments , which has gone beyond the means of legitimate competition. In response, he threatened to report to Lord Snowrun and let the "strong" Balgrove deal with her.

The second letter was written by a man named Christopher Bartley to Marwen Blackthorn. The words in the letter were extremely humble and apprehensive, saying that this was already the second letter of apology he wrote to Marwen, and the last one was lost to nothing. There was no news, and he hoped that Ma Wen would not misunderstand him, and said that he begged Ma Wen's forgiveness with extreme humility and fear in the banner of Xueman's mare.

Now there is progress on both things.

For unknown reasons, the quality of the Nord mead produced in Sabjorn's mead land suddenly declined.Some people in Snowrun even claimed to be poisoned after drinking mead.After the investigation, the evidence was conclusive, and Sabjon, the owner of the mead land, was put in prison by Balgrove the Strong.The mead field is said to be run by a brewmaster hired by Sabjon, and there are rumored to be managers from the Blackthorn family of Rift City.

This is obviously a mutual frame-up by competitors.What's more, as far as Wu Chen knows, the news that Marwen Blackthorn secretly hired thugs and the Thieves Guild to rob two shipments of mead land, Sabjon also immediately appeared in front of Snowman Lord "Strong" Balgrove accuse.It wasn't long before there was a case of mead poisoning.The two things before and after cannot be unrelated.And the Lord of Snowman "The Strong" Balgrove, it is impossible not to notice it.So why should Sabjon, the mead landlady who was clearly framed, be imprisoned in the prison of Dragon's Landing?

As Baron Ximu under Lord Xueman's command, Wu Chen had already thought of it: "Is there any rumor about the mead land being auctioned in the city?"

"Yes, master. Lord Xueman is going to auction off the mead land to compensate the victims of the poisoning incident." Yemen Violet Janed laughed.

"Where is Christopher Bartley of the Mare Banner?" Wu Chen asked again.

"He is the victim and the accuser of this poisoning incident." Yemen Violet Janed's smile was full of meaning.

"So, because he offended Marwen Blackthorne, this Christopher Bartley was forced to poison the brewing barrels in the mead field." Wu Chen had already thought about it.

"Yes, my dear master." Yemen Violet Janed continued: "There has always been a problem of rats in the Meadland, and everyone in Snowrun knows it. So Christopher Bartley poured rat poison into the The man who helped him was Mallus Maccius, the winemaker who took over the mead field after the accident. A man of the Empire, who owed He works in the mead field. After taking over the winery, he became one of the thieves' guild's dealers in Snowrun. In addition, he was also seen in the smuggler's lair."

"So, Christopher Bartley is the leader of the smuggler's lair?" I didn't expect that these seemingly unrelated people and things were related behind the scenes.

"Very likely, my master." Yemen Violet Janed also thought so.

"It's no wonder that Marwen Blackthorn was offended. Christopher Bartley must have been involved in the smuggling of Blackthorn mead, which harmed Marwen's interests. And because of the shady smuggling trade, Christopher Bartley dared not speak up , not to dare to sue directly in front of Snowman Lord "The Strong" Balgrove like Sabjon, the owner of mead, and to abscond in fear of crime, so he can only secretly beg for forgiveness from Marwen Blackthorn." Everything makes sense.

"Master, what are you going to do?" The housekeeper approved of the lord's judgment on the whole incident.

"Writing to my (Xueman) lord in my own name, I said that I want to buy the mead land. I am willing to clear the smuggler's lair and the Baihe Gang bandit group for Xueman." The lord has always been far-sighted.

"So in addition to the mead land, the master also wants to get Baihewang?" As expected of a housekeeper, she has already thought of it.

"No, to be precise, it's the entire Baihe Mountain." Wu Chen smiled and said, "Including Baihe Tiaoyan and Baihewang."

Previously, Snowrun lord "The Strong" Balgrove offered a high reward, a house or equivalent land in Snowman City in exchange for the head of the leader Hvar Ironhand and the destruction of the White River Gang.However, this bounty has never been fulfilled.On the contrary, it fueled the arrogance of the Baihe Gang.

Coupled with the post-disaster reconstruction of Xueman, too many resources were consumed.As a last resort, Snowman Lord "The Strong" Balgrove even "pretended to be confused" and allowed Sabjon, the owner of the mead land, to be framed, and then logically sold the huge mead land to make up for the shortfall vault.

The reason why it is called a mead land, rather than a mead winery or a mead winery, is because this is a huge land for planting, beekeeping, and brewing.It almost equally divides the fertile tundra south of Snowrun between Secuda's Frame and Snowrun's moat with Pelagia Farm on the west.Just imagine farming, beekeeping and brewing at the same time, the value of this open land is obvious.

Precisely because the public acquisition would cost huge sums of money, Marwen Blackthorn used low-handed means to suppress the value of the mead land as much as possible.

Just imagine, without Baron Ximu's participation.Merchants and nobles in Snowrun City would never buy a ruined land that was infested with rats and ruined its reputation at a high price.

The reason why Wu Chen wanted to buy this snowy land adjacent to Ximuling was not complicated.He wants to build a large trading post in this mead land close to the snowy moat and traffic arteries: Honningbrew Meadery Fort.

Transport the Ximu specialties to Xueman City, which is close to the golden waterway in the middle and lower reaches of the Baihe River, and trade directly with merchants from afar.

Of course, the wineries and wineries in the bee wine region will also switch to making Ximu gin.

Soon, Baron Ximu's personal request was readily granted by Lord Xueman "The Strong" Balgrove.In addition to compensating the victims of the poisoned wine, and paying the exorbitant fines imposed by Lord Xueman in full, the transfer money that fell into the pocket of Sabjon, the owner of Manman mead, was also much richer than the market price.No one can refuse Baron Ximu's offer.

Soon, the mead land became the property of Baron Ximu.

At the same time, the Ximu elite led by the death knell Elena Lucretia of Mrs. Gisesying also launched an attack on the White River Gang.
