Chapter 701: Banquet in the main hall (1)
Translator: 549690339
Zhao Hai somewhat believed Timur’s words. Who on the continent did not know that the Buda family had many good things? the Buda family had become the most famous business family on the continent.
In the past, the Buda family did not have such power, but ever since the magintel family merged with the Buda family, the Buda family had such power.
The magedell family was one of the few major business families on the continent. The factories and various connections they controlled were very large. Although the magedell family had shrunk their business scope and changed their business philosophy at the same time, this change had also made the magedell family even more popular.
In the past, the magedell family had been too overbearing in their business. Although they had cooperated with countless people, those people did not necessarily like the magedell family. It was just that the magedell family was powerful and could bring them benefits, so those people would cooperate with the magedell family.
And now, the magicdare family was very fair in doing business, which naturally made them even more popular. Although their business had shrunk a little, they relied on the Paradise Products and this business philosophy, and the money they earned every day was not much less than before.
In addition, the Buda family now had the island of gold, which was an absolute trading port. Naturally, all the families on the continent wanted to win them over. Because of its special geographical location, the island of gold had almost become a transit station for sea trade. It was very prosperous, so all the families wanted to do business on the island.
But now that Golden Island had passed its most difficult time, if you wanted to do business on the island, you had to have some connections. Otherwise, it would be difficult to gain a foothold on the island.
The reason for this situation was because the Buda family had the support of a powerful force. The Buda family had done many earth-shattering things in the past few years. They had more than one 9th rank expert. In addition to the Black Mage Zhao Hai, their military strength was greater than that of a small dukedom. Under such circumstances, no one would be willing to provoke them.
The Buda family’s status on the continent was very high. Even a big Empire like the stupa Empire would not easily provoke them.
It was because of this confidence that Zhao Hai thought that Timur was talking about strength. Perhaps the stupa Empire really wanted to do some business with him.
As the two of them chatted, the carriage arrived at the Imperial Palace. The carriage did not go through any inspection and directly entered the outer city of the Imperial Palace. The two of them then got off the carriage and walked into the palace.
The sky had already turned slightly dark. Magic lamps had already been lit up in the palace, making it as bright as day. Zhao Hai’s Timur was led by a eunuch to the inner city of the palace.
The stupa Empire’s Palace looked similar to the Roson Empire’s Palace. The ground was paved with a kind of green stone, and under the White magic lamps, it shimmered with a green light.
There weren’t many trees around, and they weren’t very tall either. This was one of the characteristics of the Imperial Palace. Some trees could be planted in the Imperial Palace, but they had to be pruned. They couldn’t grow too big, or they could become a hiding place for assassins.
The eunuch led the three of them to a large hall in the palace. Zhao Hai was stunned as soon as he arrived because he could hear a clamor coming from the hall. Zhao Hai was very curious. What kind of place was this? who dared to make such a loud noise in the palace?
Very quickly, the two of them arrived in front of the Great Hall. Two eunuchs were standing in front of the Great Hall. When they saw Zhao Hai and Timur, they immediately shouted,”General tie mu, Zhao Hai’s family has arrived!”
The eunuch’s voice was a little shrill, but it was very loud. The originally noisy Hall suddenly quieted down when they heard this voice. Then, the voice of a eunuch came from inside, ” “Patriarch Zhao Hai, general Timur, please enter the hall!”
Only then did Zhao Hai and tie mu ‘er enter the main hall. Once they entered the main hall, Zhao Hai was stunned. There were many people in the main hall. There were many small tables placed in the main hall, and two people were sitting behind each table. From the way they dressed, they should be the great aristocrats of the Budur Empire. On the small tables in front of them, there was a fruit plate, a silver wine pot, and two wine glasses.
Zhao Hai, who had attended banquets in the Imperial Palace before, could tell that a banquet was being held here. No wonder he had heard the commotion from inside.
Zhao Hai looked into the hall and saw a high stage. The bar was about a meter high, and there was a Dragon chair on the stage. It was made of gold and inlaid with some gems. It was very beautiful.
There was a man sitting on the Dragon Throne. This man didn’t look very old, only about forty years old. However, he was tall and well built. In Zhao Hai’s eyes, he was probably more than two meters tall, not much different from Timur. Although he was wearing a dragon robe, the loose dragon robe couldn’t hide his muscles.
This man’s skin was bronze in color, and it looked like it was reflecting light when the lights were on. He had a beard, and although it was very neat, it still gave people the feeling of a mighty lion. Zhao Hai believed that this man must have cultivated some kind of warrior energy that could cause this.
Zhao Hai knew that this person must be the king of the stupa Empire. As expected, Timur took a step forward and bowed to the person.”Timur pays his respects to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, ten thousand words!”
“Rise, sit down,” the man nodded.
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Timur said in a deep voice. Only then did he stand up, walk to a small table with only one person, and sit down.
Zhao Hai also stepped forward and bowed to the man. &Quot; “Zhao Hai bu da greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!”
The king of stupa country looked at Zhao Hai and chuckled, ” “Mr. Zhao Hai, you don’t have to be so polite. It is the Budur Empire’s honor that you have come to our Budur Empire,”
Zhao Hai stood up straight and smiled at King Futu. &Quot; &Quot; Zhao Hai was here to do some small business, but he didn’t expect to alert His Majesty. Zhao Hai has committed a capital crime. &Quot;
The king of the Budur Kingdom waved his hand and said, ” what are you saying, Sir? you are an honored guest of the Budur Empire. Someone, set up a seat beside me. Please take a seat. &Quot; Immediately, a eunuch responded and carefully lifted a small table and a chair to the empty seat beside the stupa country’s monarch.
Of course, the small table was not as high as the Dragon Throne in the Budur Empire. However, the fact that he could sit next to the king of the Budur Empire showed his status.
Zhao Hai thanked him and carefully walked to the small table. He sat down, and a eunuch placed a plate of fruit and a pot of wine on the table. At this time, the stupa nation’s monarch waved his hand and said, ” “Begin.” Immediately, Palace maids filed in and placed all kinds of food on the small tables. There was another Palace maid standing behind the small tables in charge of serving wine.
After the wine and dishes were served, the Budur King raised his cup and said, ” “It is the Fortune of the stupa Empire to have Mr. Zhao Hai here today. Let us toast to Mr. Zhao Hai!”
The nobles of the stupa Empire immediately raised their glasses and said, ” “To Mister!”
“I wouldn’t dare. I would like to thank Your Majesty for the toast!” Zhao Hai quickly replied. After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. This wine was fruit wine, and it tasted pretty good.
The king of stupa country also drank his wine and said in a deep voice, ” “Please do as you please!” Then, he turned to Zhao Hai and said with a smile, ” “Sir, here, let me toast you again.”
Zhao Hai smiled and raised his glass, ” “Thank you, Your Majesty.” After that, the two of them drank a cup of wine.
After drinking the cup of wine, the king of stupa country said, ” “May I know which family you are doing business with this time?”
Zhao Hai thought, they’re here. He knew that the king of the Budur Kingdom would ask him about this. In fact, the king of the Budur Kingdom should have known that he had gone to the dwarf’s Iron Mountain long ago, and his question was just a prelude.
Zhao Hai immediately replied, ” Your Majesty, I am here to do business with the dwarves. The dwarves love wine. I happen to be in the wine business, so I came here to take a look. &Quot;
“Oh, I wonder if your trip went smoothly?” the stupa Empire’s eyes flashed.
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; it’s going quite well. However, I just started doing business with the dwarves. The trade volume is not large. I only managed to get some ordinary ironware. &Quot;
“Sir, if you bring these ironware to the Rosen Empire, you can buy them for a high price. I would like to congratulate you, Sir,” the king of the Budur Kingdom said with a smile.
Zhao Hai laughed and said, ” Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I have already been asked to exchange for these ironware, but it was not the Roson Empire. The Roson Empire does not lack ironware. Although these ironware are produced by the dwarves, they are too ordinary. With the transportation fees, I’m afraid these ironware will not be able to sell for much in the Roson Empire. &Quot;
The king of stupa country was stunned for a moment before he said, ” “Oh, Sir, if you’re not selling it in the Roson Empire, could it be that this ironware has another place to go?”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” that’s right. Your Majesty, you have heard that I have some business dealings with the orcs. The orcs lack ironware the most, so I have to bring these ironware back to them. Moreover, my wine business is a cooperative relationship with the orcs. The orcs suggested that I have to exchange ironware for their wine business. That’s why I had no choice but to come to the dwarves to exchange for some ironware. &Quot;
The king of stupa country nodded and said, ” so, you are from the human-beast hybrid clan. Sir, you have a lot of connections. You can actually have a relationship with the human-beast hybrid clan. That’s amazing. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” “I didn’t do business with the orcs for a long time, and I only helped a tribe a little, so I was able to do business with them. However, because of the war a while ago, the orcs don’t lack food, and they only lack ironware. Originally, we could use food to do business, but now we can only use ironware to exchange for it. This round trip didn’t increase the transportation cost by much, and the cost has also increased. To be honest, we won’t be able to earn much from this transaction, so we’ll just be able to maintain it. ”
The king of stupa country smiled and said, ” &Quot; if that’s the case, then Sir’s relationship with the orcs is quite good. After the war, no merchant on the continent dared to do business with the orcs, but Sir did. Moreover, the orcs even gave you such a big business like buying ironware. It can be seen how much trust they have in you. &Quot;
