The Knight's Journey to the Empire

There are three tall buildings in the city of Ganise, namely the Town Hall, the Noble Court and the Netherlands Building.

All three of them are high-rise buildings with four floors and are forty to fifty meters high.

The Netherlands Building and the surrounding buildings are the caravan base of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce in the city of Garnisee.

But on the top floor of the Netherlands Building, the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce spent a huge amount of money to build a beautiful and exquisite rooftop garden.

Therefore, the height of the Netherlands Building is half a floor higher than the City Hall and the Noble Court.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Netherlands Building is the tallest building in the entire city of Ganise.

The Netherlands Building has four floors and is made up of blocks of white marble.

Add to that the ingenious carvings by master sculptors and a variety of lifelike and exquisite decorations.

It is magnificent and majestic, yet also delicate, beautiful and elegant.

The four layers have different environments and different functions:

The first floor is where ordinary goods are sold.

Its layout is somewhat similar to today's department stores, where beautifully crafted and valuable merchandise is displayed on display stands for customers to view, select and purchase.

The second floor is also where goods are sold.

But the goods sold here are naturally not ordinary things.

Its layout is a large circular exhibition stand in the middle and a circle of exquisite boxes around it.

Naturally, various valuable and expensive high-end commodities were displayed in the large round exhibition stand, while the private rooms were specially provided to the relevant personnel of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce to discuss some large business.

The third floor is the daily office of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce.

At the entrance of the stairs on the third floor, there are guards on duty. No one except the staff of the Chamber of Commerce or the specially invited guests is allowed to enter without permission.

The fourth floor is the residence of the senior executives of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce in the city of Ganise or the guest reception room.

As for the residences of other middle-level or lower-level personnel, there is a row of two-story wooden buildings next to the Netherlands Building, and they live there!

For example, Director Fisher...

The final rooftop garden is where the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce holds large gatherings or various dances and parties.

Of course, this rooftop garden is sometimes rented out to powerful or wealthy people for them to hold various dances and parties.

..............................

The enchanted weapons that Soran needs to buy this time are in the large circular exhibition hall on the second floor.

So after revealing his noble status, he took Doug Johnson directly to the second floor of the Netherlands Building.

As soon as Soran and Doug Johnson reached the second floor, a waiter in exquisite clothes came over to greet them.

Because not everyone can go to the second floor of the Netherlands Building. Only people with special status or those who can prove that they have sufficient assets can go there.

The first floor is a public place and anyone can come.

"Hello, gentlemen! I am Torrebol, the waiter who is responsible for receiving you this time! May I ask how I can help you?"

This waiter named Torrepol was obviously professionally trained.

His face is always filled with a warm smile, and his tone of voice is very gentle and kind. Coupled with his handsome appearance, elegant movements, and courteous demeanor, he can easily win the favor of others.

Facing the waiter, Soran nodded without showing any expression.

After all, he was a hereditary aristocrat, and he had seen this kind of "shopping guide" in his previous life.

But Doug Johnson was a little stage fright!

Although he now has the title of knight appointed by Sauron, his consciousness, character and bones are still at the stage of a commoner, and it is difficult for him to change so quickly.

Moreover, this was his first time coming to such a high-end place, and also the first time someone affectionately addressed him as "Sir", so how could he not be stage fright!

Fortunately, he was just a little stage fright and didn't make any jokes.

"Hello, can you take me around first? I want to take a look around first and see if there is anything I need to buy!" Soran replied in the same gentle tone.

Don't hit someone who smiles at you, and the other person has not offended you.

So Sauron naturally did not act condescendingly, but treated the other party with the same gentleness.

"Sure, it's my honor!" Torrebol responded with great joy, then made a gesture of invitation and said respectfully: "Sir, please!"

Reading people's expressions is the specialty of these shopping guides and waiters, and it's also a way to make a living.

And through observing the reactions of the two people just now, Torrebol already knew that they were led by Sauron!

And from Doug Johnson's reaction, he could also guess that Doug Johnson should be a guard.

So he appropriately ignored Doug Johnson and focused on serving Soran.

Of course, it was just a proper neglect. Before he really confirmed the identities of the two, he still needed to keep some attention on Doug Johnson.

As for the other ninety-seven points of attention, it's all on Sauron!

"Yeah!" Soran nodded, and at the same time he secretly sighed in his heart: The quality of the waiters in this big chamber of commerce is still good, and they don't do excessive things like bullying customers.

At least for now, Soran still has a very good impression of this place.

Then, under the guidance of Torrebol, he strolled around the second floor of the Netherlands Building.

..............................

The Netherlands Chamber of Commerce is indeed one of the top chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Midburg.

All the goods that can be sold on the second floor of the Netherlands Building are rare, hard to find and valuable high-end products.

For example, the magic plant has been processed by the White Knight using a special method. It can perfectly preserve its energy without dissipating and maintain its medicinal properties unchanged.

For example, potions are potions that have been made by the White Knight using various special magical materials. Buyers can consume them directly to improve their own strength or physical fitness.

For example, magic metal is a special metal required for refining enchanted weapons. Each one has different effects and is very valuable.

For example, enchanted weapons are already made by the Iron Knight and can be used directly by customers after purchase.

For example, Warcraft materials are special materials stripped from Warcraft. Whether they are used to make potions or to refine enchanted weapons, they have special and great effects.

and many more……

Throughout this trip, Soren and Doug Johnson always adhered to the principle of asking if they didn't understand something, "If you really don't understand, just ask."

The waiter Torrepol did not dislike them for this, but enthusiastically explained to them the origins, functions, and effects of these products.

Some of this knowledge was something that even Soran himself had never seen, let alone Doug Johnson, a country bumpkin?

So the two of them listened with great interest and were fascinated. It really opened their eyes!

"Torrepol, I want to buy two enchanted weapons suitable for the professional level of the Brave Knight!" Soran said to Torrepol with a bright smile.

The waiter Torrepol took them on a long tour, and now they not only had a feast for the eyes but also gained more knowledge.

Now that the tour is over, we certainly can’t forget the important things!

"Ah!" Torrebol let out a surprised cry, then bowed respectfully and said, "So you two are the Knights! My apologies! My apologies! If I have not been very hospitable just now, please forgive me!"

At the same time, he felt relieved!

Fortunately, I have always maintained good professional ethics, so I haven't done anything out of line.

Otherwise, if we offend these two knights, we will be in trouble!

Although Torrebol could guess that the identities of Sauron and the other man were not simple, he could not directly know their true identities.

After all, judging from their reactions just now, it was the first time for both of them to come to the Netherlands Building for shopping!

Moreover, unless he is a knight practitioner with a higher professional level than himself.

Otherwise, as long as the official knight does not take the initiative to reveal his true strength.

Then, no matter what, others will not be able to know your true professional level.

Of course, one of the reasons why Torrebol sincerely received Sauron and the other man was because of Sauron's neither humble nor arrogant, but polite and decent attitude.

This made Torrepol, who was usually looked down upon by the so-called "distinguished guests" of the Chamber of Commerce, instantly feel a lot of goodwill towards him!

"No! No! Torrebol, your hospitality is very thoughtful! Thank you very much for showing us around here!" Sauron responded politely!

He and Doug Johnson were now out wearing casual clothes, not aristocratic formal attire!

So in Torrepol's eyes, maybe he was just a small noble from the countryside who came to Ganise City to broaden his horizons!

They are the kind of "smugglers" that merchants hate the most, who "just look and ask" but finally "don't buy".

But the other party is still willing to receive us so sincerely.

This shows that Torrebol's professional qualities are indeed quite good.

"Thank you, Sir Knight!" Torrebol said excitedly.

Yeah, how could he not be excited?

Because the price of each enchanted weapon is at least five hundred, and Soran needs to buy two enchanted weapons.

In other words, Soran needs to spend at least one thousand gold coins in the Netherlands Building this time!

This amount of consumption is enough to raise my receptionist level to a higher level!

..............................

The receptionists working for the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands Building are also divided into different levels, and the guests received by receptionists of different levels are different.

The receptionists at the Netherlands Building are divided into four levels: gold, silver, bronze, and iron, according to the total cumulative consumption of all the guests they receive.

This can actually be seen from the name tags they wear on their chests.

Because name tags of different levels are made of metals of different materials to mark their status.

According to the regulations of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce:

Receptionists who receive guests with a total cumulative consumption of less than 500 gold coins are iron-level receptionists and wear iron name tags. They can get a 3-point rebate for each completed transaction and have the right to give a 99% discount to the distinguished guests they receive.

Reception waiters who receive guests with a total cumulative consumption of between 500 and 5,000 gold coins are bronze-level reception waiters, wear bronze name tags, and can receive a 4-point rebate for each completed transaction, as well as the right to give a 3% discount to distinguished guests.

Reception waiters who receive guests with a total cumulative consumption of between 5,000 and 50,000 gold coins are silver-level reception waiters, wear silver name tags, and can receive a 5-point rebate for each completed transaction, as well as the right to give a 95% discount to distinguished guests.

Reception waiters who receive guests with a cumulative spending amount between 50,000 and 300,000 gold coins are called gold-level reception waiters. They wear gold name tags and have their own offices for receiving guests or resting. In addition, they can get a 6-point rebate for each completed transaction, as well as the right to give a 98% discount to distinguished guests.

As for the level of the receptionist who receives guests with a total cumulative consumption of more than 300,000 gold coins, I don’t know!

Because now, the entire Netherlands Chamber of Commerce has never had receptionists of this level in its headquarters buildings and branch buildings throughout the Kingdom of Midburg!

Moreover, even if the distinguished guest has a business worth more than 300,000 gold coins and wants to seek cooperation with the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce, he will not look for receptionists like them!

Wouldn't it be easier if people just went directly to the Chamber of Commerce and found the supervisors who could make the decision?

Of course, in addition to this, receptionists of different levels also have some different benefits!

For example, having a higher basic salary allowance!

For example, priority reception for new guests!

For example, changing the accommodation environment for the better!

For example, having more power in the Chamber of Commerce!

For example, priority promotion rights!

and many more!

..............................

Now Torrepol is wearing an iron name tag on his chest, so his rank is an iron-level receptionist.

If he completes Soran's business, he will be able to move up a level and become a bronze-level receptionist.

But it was also because he was an iron-class receptionist that he was able to meet Soren and Doug Johnson.

Otherwise, they would have been snatched away by a higher-level receptionist as soon as Soran and his companions showed up!

After all, judging from the way Soran and the other man were dressed and behaved, they didn't look like rich people at all!

Therefore, those high-level reception waiters were naturally unwilling to "condescend" to receive him.

That's why Torrepol got a chance to take advantage of the situation!

"Excuse me, my two lords the knights, do you have any requirements for enchanted weapons?" Torrebol smiled and spoke respectfully.

“There are no requirements! It just needs to fit in the hand and be sharp enough!” Soran said helplessly.

Although he had done his homework in advance, he didn't know much about enchanted weapons.

Torrebol seemed to notice Soran's embarrassment, so he made a gesture of invitation and said respectfully: "Please come this way, my two knights. I will introduce the enchanted weapons to you in detail!"
