Wizard Count

The Odin Empire, which is only 500 kilometers away from Frosynone, is located in the north. 70% of the land is covered by ice and snow for at least six months in a year. Ding people, men and women, young and old, love wine, which can warm the body with just one sip.

Although the Odin people have good wine, unfortunately, although the Odin Empire has a lot of arable land, but because the land is covered by ice and snow most of the time, only one period of grain can be grown a year. This resulted in a very low rate of grain production on the land of the Odin Empire, and the grain produced each year was barely enough for the entire country to eat.

If the year is bad, the Odin Empire’s food will not be enough to eat, so in such a situation, even if the Odin people are good at wine, they cannot produce too much. Grain is used to make wine, and the industrialization level of the Odin Empire itself is also poor, which leads to the low utilization rate of the grain used for winemaking in the Odin Empire. This double blow leads to the annual production of wine in the Odin Empire. The quantity is very scarce.

As the saying goes, things are precious. In the Odin Empire, whether it is beer, Distilled Liquor, or wine, it can be said to be a high-end item, and ordinary working families can’t afford it.· ········

Although wine is very expensive and scarce in the Odin Empire, in the Kaman Empire, the neighbor of the Odin Empire, it has basically completed the full coverage of arable land and fertilizer. In addition, in recent years, the weather has been smooth, the grain has been harvested year after year, the grain store is full, and the grain that makes wine is very rich. In addition, the advanced industrial level also allows the Kaman Empire’s wine industry to be mainly produced by factories, so whether it is wine The production efficiency, or the utilization rate of food, is in a leading position in the Byzantine continent. Therefore, in the Kaman Empire, alcohol is still a relatively low-priced commodity. The ordinary working class can realize the freedom of alcohol.

According to the Kaman Empire’s most authoritative business survey company, Old Trafford, the price of beer of the same capacity and same quality is five times that of the Kaman Empire and Distilled Liquor. Eight times, wine is ten times, high-end wine products are even more exaggerated, the gap is as much as 18 times!

So it is precisely because of the strong difference in the price of drinks between the two countries that a large number of Kaman merchants have sold the Kaman Empire’s drinks to the Odin Empire in order to make huge profits in recent years. A vested interest group in the original winery of the Ding Empire.

The dumping of a large amount of cheap Kaman drinks forced the Odin Empire Distillery, which was originally all split up and in pieces, and the interest groups behind it to unite to exert influence on the Odin Empire’s regime. Forcing the Odin Empire to dump the Kaman Empire’s liquors, imposing high tariffs several times or even more than ten times its own price, thereby reducing the price competitiveness of the Kaman Empire’s liquors and making the product sales competition between the two parties as far as possible. Came back to the same starting line.

The high tariffs are undoubtedly a heavy blow. The normal trade between Kaman and the Odin Empire, but the huge profits, has also caused a large number of illegal businessmen to ignore the majesty of the law and choose to smuggle. There are hundreds of people who lose their lives every year because of doing this. However, there is still no way to resist the billowing heads and pieces of hanged corpses. The Kaman merchant pursues The madness of wealth.

Although the executed are continuously, more people are still rushing to buy wine secretly from the Kaman Empire to the Odin Empire. Various smuggling methods can be said to be endless. It makes you can't guard against it, and the long borders of the Kaman Empire and the Odin Empire greatly increase the difficulty of monitoring and prevention in the Odin Empire, and provide convenience for the smuggling of Kaman merchants.······· ·······

And Gallardini and their Boss are also part of the smuggled wine products to the Odin Empire, but he is still smart, he uses wood Trading as a disguise, the bottles of Distilled Liquor are hidden in the wood, and they want to use this as a way to confuse them and pass the Odin Empire's customs inspection.

As a warehouse night watchman, Gallardini, he accidentally ran into a good thing about Boss during a night patrol. However, he knew that the matter was serious and involved Gallardini. After careful consideration, he still chose to pretend to be confused when he didn't know what happened.

He knows very well that once the Boss learns about the fact that Gallardini found smuggling wine in the wood, he will lose his job at least, and his life will not be guaranteed. So in order to save his job and his life , Gallardini buried this secret deeply in my heart, and never mentioned it to anyone, if not now, in this room, was threatened with death, Gallardini, To death may not tell this great secret!

A few seconds after Gallardini gave the answer to the question, the low voice in the room sounded again, asking the second question.

"How much do you know about this batch of goods in the warehouse?"

Hearing this problem, Gallardini became a little entangled, and he hesitated. Will speak: "If I tell you, if I know things, can you protect my family's life? My Boss wants to know that if I betray him, he will definitely kill my whole family... ····"

"Pa! Pa!"

Gagliardini's words have not been finished yet, but they stopped abruptly. Two clear sounds, in It emerged from the room. Although no one had contact with him, Gallardini felt that his face was hit twice.

"Last reminder of the rules, I ask You answer, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me." A low voice sounded in the room again.

Galiaardini, who was slapped twice, was very angry, but under the threat of death from the opponent, he could only be obediently and honestly acknowledged, and said dejectedly: "I am the night watchman of the Marat security company, my boss is Sodir, he is the son-in-law of the company Big Boss Marat Grigorian, the goods in the warehouse, I do not have a breakdown, but about There are more than a thousand bottles, and they all belong to Marat Grigorian in name."

"But we are a small company with dozens of people, even with Marat Grigorian. Grigorian is also just a small boss with no money. He has no money to buy such a large quantity of goods. Therefore, according to my observation, the real owner of the valuable goods in the warehouse is not Not Marat Grigorian, but someone else..."
