Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

This special combination of stone and wood is unique to the empire, and only the craftsmen of the empire like to build houses in this way.

Could it be that he returned to the empire?

Wendlow murmured in his heart, this is too strange.

He was drifting on the sea, and the entire western part of the empire was surrounded by Bretonnia.

And even if it floated into the territory of the empire, this should be West Territory, a swamp.

But no matter how much I think about it, I can't get the correct answer. Now I only need to do one thing, and that is to go and ask.

The female rat man cleverly picked up some cloth and quickly made a hat, hiding her head and tail, just like an ordinary country person with a cold.

If he straightens his chest, the Rat Man will be about 1 meters tall when he stands up, and will not arouse any suspicion.

As they approached the imperial town, Windlow realized that the problem was serious.

The name of this place is written on the huge city gate: Cokatai, which sounds like a very Norse-style place.

And in the city, the place that surprised Windlow the most appeared. There was actually a Norse camp here. The tents made of various leathers were the nightmare of all the imperial merchants.

The sighting of that tent meant that a Norse raiding party was nearby.

Or perhaps the merchants had been captured by the Norsemen and became slaves.

Could it be that this was once an imperial coastal city and has now been captured by the Norsemen?

Don't run away!

Just as Windlow was about to turn around and flee, he saw several carriages coming out of the city. They were all driven by imperial people and had the imperial caravan markings on them.

Oh, now he understood everything.

Just like the complex empire, the Norse race is also very complex.

They are also divided into many factions.

Although most Norscans are strong warriors and sailors, they make a living by looting the empire.

But there are a few Norsemen who are different.

Perhaps it is because they are geographically closer to the empire, or perhaps it is because they have richer resources than their compatriots in the north.

A small number of Norscans in the south are on the same side as the Empire and have trade treaties with it.

After capturing the ferocious beasts in Norsca, the leather of these animals can be sold for a good sum of money within the empire.

Of course, there are also Norscans who will catch various seafood in the icy ocean, put them in ice and sell them to the empire.

Some Norscans chose to join the empire's provincial army or mercenary groups to make a living.

It seems that this should be a place in the southern part of the Norse Peninsula. The natural environment is safe and there are many preferential policies for merchants like himself.

With three elves and a unicorn, they transported the resources on the ship one by one.

Since we have arrived at a safe place, the ship has been completely dismantled.

With the help of the female rat man, they actually pieced together a large carriage powered by a unicorn.

Like all the other caravans, Windlow and Mousse sat in the front of the carriage, while the two elves and the female ratman stayed inside.

Slowly walking towards the city gate, just as Windlo had initially judged, this was indeed a friendly Norse tribe.

The two Norscan warriors were only wearing thin leather clothes, with their upper bodies completely exposed to the cold weather. Their muscular bodies could even easily crush the heads of the Imperials.

Holding javelins in their hands, they looked at Windlo's carriage from front to back, looked at the things inside the carriage, and then looked at the chassis of the carriage. At the same time, they signaled Windlo and Mousse to open their mouths and rolled up their eyelids.

It seems that these Norscans have mastered the Tyrells' inspection techniques and will even check whether the caravans are infected with any infectious diseases.

Since there was no problem, the two Norse warriors returned to the front of the carriage, stretched out their right hands, and spoke their words in the Imperial language with an accent.

“Taxes.”

There is no problem with this, of course there is no problem. As a businessman, birth, death, being robbed and paying taxes are four things that are completely unavoidable.

It was a pity that after searching his backpack and pockets, Windlow couldn't find a single copper coin.

All my wealth had long been buried in the sea, and I really didn't have a penny left.

"Can I use the goods as collateral for the tax payment? All my cash is..."

Before Windlo could finish his words, Mousse had already taken out a silver coin as tax and put it in the Norseman's hand.

"Very good, let's go into the city. We are a new caravan, right? If you don't cause trouble, trouble won't cause you."

Then he picked up the javelin and stood aside, indicating that the carriage could enter the city.

"Mousse."

"You owe me, of course, no interest."

It seemed that she had already regarded herself as the hostess of a caravan, and Mousse also knew that she had the obligation to pay taxes.

Besides, Windlow really doesn't have a penny left.

As the carriage slowly entered the city and found a relatively open place to stop, the next step was to do business.

The four people temporarily dispersed and searched for the information they needed, and then gathered together when it got dark.

Naturally, Wendlow also stepped into a strange city again with Mousse.

The city of Cokatai is a typical place where Norsemen and Imperials live together.

The tavern is undoubtedly the most popular business here. In the icy and snowy environment, a cup of warming wine is one of the few common languages ​​​​between the Imperials and the Norsemen.

Although Windlow lost all his wealth, he still retained his intuition and ability as a businessman.

After only one day, we had figured out the basic situation here.

The Norsemen captured furs and exotic creatures, put them in cages, and sold them to the Empire. The Imperial and Norse merchants with empty carts came here to collect the goods.

At the same time, merchants returning from the empire would bring ironware, tools, books, scrolls, and some religious items from the empire.

The Empire also encourages such trade, and there is even a Sigmar Church in the city.

With the replacement of faith, the local Norse people no longer believed in the dark gods.

At the same time, the talent market is also recruiting a large number of workers. The mercenary groups from the Empire need strong Norscans to serve as mercenaries, and the Norscans also need crossbowmen and archers from the Empire to help them hunt.

The economy of the entire city is a positive cycle. With the passage of time and the efforts of people, the wealth of the city will slowly accumulate.

This also leads to a very good atmosphere in the city. As long as you have the strength and ability, you don't have to worry about not having food to eat or not having business to do.

"Mousse, clear out the inventory and exchange for cash. Finally, we can do business again."
