Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

This brings us to the superiority of the imperial merchants.

As a qualified businessman, Windlow has basically lost all sympathy and fairness in his heart.

Merchants are a group of people who buy low and sell high.

Spend your whole life thinking about how to get goods cheaper and sell them more expensively.

As for patriotism, Windlow has none of that.

If you have any so-called compassion and kindness, you are really not suitable to be a businessman.

In the eyes of poor people, businessmen are all dishonest.

In the eyes of the imperial nobility, merchants are an economic force that cannot be controlled.

Every industry has its own chain of contempt, and even in the distant Zhendan, the class system of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans was promulgated.

But no matter how discriminatory others may be, we have to admit that businessmen have some very powerful qualities.

As a businessman, Windlow has very strong psychological qualities and can remain calm even when a lie is exposed in front of him.

In the business battlefield, frustration and failure are inevitable, but Windlow never backs down.

Keen insight, hard-working spirit and long-term vision are all his good qualities.

But the bad thing was that he didn't know how to comfort Mousse.

After all, to be honest, he had long forgotten the name of his hometown village. The only thing he remembered was that Markus Kruppler was his fellow villager.

I have no other memories of my hometown.

Just pat the mousse lightly.

"Make money first, and then we will have everything."

Little did he know that these words were the light that ignited the fire in Mousse's heart.

The elf's rationality allows her to see through the essence of the entire world at a glance. If she wants to gain power, she must gain wealth.

He quickly cheered up and didn't waste any more rest time.

A few days later, the two arrived at the city of Horsel. In this place where sea salt is produced, the price of pickled fish is extremely cheap.

It only takes one silver coin to fill the carriage with pickled fish.

Freshly caught fish is rubbed with fine sea salt after being gutted.

Hang it in a ventilated place for a few days and you can get a delicious stinky smell.

Of course, Windlow didn't want to buy pickled fish as a commodity for trading.

The next place we are heading to is Nordland, the northernmost part of the empire, where the coastline is extremely long.

Why do locals eat pickled fish when they have fresh fish to eat?

The main purpose of this pickled fish is to serve as dry food and the main source of nutrition on the road.

Many fledgling businessmen think that they can make money simply by constantly buying and selling, but they do not consider the supply and storage issues along the way, thus falling into bankruptcy.

Wendlow already had a very clear understanding of this series of precautions.

At this time, the sky had darkened again. After determining the two people's positions on the map, they built a simple campfire.

Washing a pickled fish in river water a few times can wash off a lot of the saltiness that sticks to it.

Then all you need to do is boil a pot of hot water, add the wild vegetables and seasonings you found, and then put the pickled fish in and simmer it slowly.

The clear hot water slowly turned into a milky white fish soup, and the fragrance slowly rose from the pot.

Windlow used a spoon to skim off the grease floating on top, and that was almost it.

Since it is pickled fish, you don’t even need to add salt.

After cooking for 1 minute, when the soup is thick and white, add a pinch of spices and simmer for a final 3 minutes.

Then a full bowl of fish soup was scooped up for Mousse.

Seeing the elf eager to take action, Windlow immediately stopped him.

"Don't eat hot food. Let it cool down before eating."

Although it is spring in the entire old world, there is still a hint of chill in the night.

As I drank mouthful after mouthful of the fish soup, a warm feeling slowly spread from my stomach, and my whole body became warm, as if I was basking in the sun.

Just drinking the salted fish soup will make them immune to the effects of the snowy environment.

Will not suffer from various additional corrosion due to frostbite and cold.

When doing business in the northern part of the empire, adapting to the environment is very important.

They continued to move forward northwards and finally arrived at the territory of Nordland before all the pickled fish were eaten.

"The smell of blood is in the air, coming from the sea."

As soon as they arrived in the territory of Nordland, Mousse, who had been resting quietly in the back of the carriage, immediately stood up vigilantly and looked towards the sea.

The sensory abilities of elves are several times stronger than those of humans, and dark elves are very familiar with the smell of blood, so she would definitely not be wrong.

Upon hearing the news, Windlo, who had no fighting ability, immediately controlled the carriage and drove inland, as this coastline was no longer safe.

After making sure that the carriage was completely hidden in the forest, Mousse grabbed Windlow and the two of them climbed up the tallest tree nearby.

With a wide view, one can see that the Nordland's Dist Port is not far away, and on the sea level, ships one after another begin to appear.

The ship, which was only three meters wide but more than twenty meters long, sailed into the empire's waters.

"Norsecan longship!"

Mousse, who had fought against the Norsemen before, and Windlow, who had learned about the Norsemen, both called out the name of that kind of ship.

The sails on the mast of the ship called the longboat were actually all made of human skin, as if they had just been peeled off, and blood was dripping from them in an eerie manner.

Three fleets of longships appeared on the coastline.

Norse fleet, not far from Dist Harbor.

When these two conditions were combined, Windlow naturally thought of the only possibility.

"The Norscans are heading south to plunder the Empire!"

That was right, the harsh winter had just passed, and the Norsemen would naturally take advantage of the coming of spring.

Find the strongest and bravest warriors in the tribe and gain the blessing of the Chaos God they worship.

They attacked towards the empire in a mighty force.

To plunder and to kill.

"It's over, it's over, Port Dester is over."

The Norscans are the strongest pirates and warriors. If so many Norscans attack together, then Dist Harbor will definitely not be able to be defended.

All the previous plans to do business here have gone to waste. Now we have to retreat immediately and escape to the south, trying to get back to a safe place so as not to be killed by the Norsemen with an axe on the way.

And the most important thing is that you can see from the trees that although the gates of Dist Port are closed, there are no imperial soldiers guarding the city walls.

Could it be that the Empire has already abandoned this town?

That's not right. The Elector Count of Nordland, Theodoric Geisel, is one of the few tough men in the empire. The Nordland Marines he leads fight with the Norscans every day.

What about others?
