Chapter 189: The Nest of Shadow Weaving Becomes Famous

Just as Luo Yan said, Jack didn't come in through the front door, but sneaked in through the back door, as is the style of most people in the Brotherhood.

Although his reputation is not as heinous as the Demon King, he is considered a "fierce bandit" whose name is well-known in the Queen District.

Especially since he often helped pirates sell stolen goods before, to those tycoons who made a fortune by ocean trade, the only difference between him and pirates is that he didn't rob them himself.

Of course, since discovering that engaging in religion is more profitable than engaging in gangs, he has begun to consciously wash himself clean. Including but not limited to using the money he earned to invest in real estate, and taking out a small part of the profits for charity, etc.

But these all take time.

Jack also had self-knowledge about the fact that he might scare the guests here, so he didn't let anyone see him until he entered the hall.

After revealing his identity to the attendant who found him on his own initiative, Jack followed the latter's footsteps to the room on the top floor.

He originally thought that the person waiting for him here should be the Demon King's servant, but he didn't expect to see a familiar face behind that door.

Jack was stunned in place, subconsciously opening his mouth wide, and the expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost.

He never expected that he would see the noble Demon King himself on the most prosperous Queen Street in Thunder City!

"Respected..."

"Just call me Mr. Kelin." Looking at Jack, who opened his mouth and was speechless again, Luo Yan said in a slow voice, and then looked at the attendant behind him, "You go out."

"Yes, boss." The hotel attendant bowed slightly, turned and exited the door, and closed it.

Jack watched the attendant leave with a strange look in his eyes, and for a moment he couldn't make up his mind whether that guy knew what his boss was.

Of course, he was actually more curious about the mood of the guests staying in this hotel at this moment.

If they knew that they were staying in the same hotel as the legendary Demon King, I don't know if they would be scared to pee on the spot.

Comparing this way, he, a "great thief," didn't seem so scary anymore.

"Are you surprised?"

"Yes..." Jack swallowed his saliva and said with a bitter smile, "I really didn't expect to see you here."

"Then you'd better get used to it as soon as possible," Luo Yan took a sip of the black tea in the cup, put down the cup and continued, "I have a strong premonition that you will often hear my name here in the future."

The moment he heard this, although Jack didn't have much reaction on his face, a stormy sea was set off in his heart.

Before, he had a vague feeling that the entire Thunder County didn't know when it started, as if it had been riddled with holes by the infiltration of the Great Cemetery, and there were traces of the Demon King everywhere.

Now that he saw the Demon King sitting in a hotel on the most prosperous street in Thunder City with his own eyes, he could finally be sure that it was not his illusion—

The Demon King's corrosion of the Campbell Principality is probably deeper and more unfathomable than he imagined!

Thinking of this, Jack looked at Luo Yan with awe, and the look of looking up was as if he were visiting a true god.

"Yes, my lord."

Luo Yan looked at him and nodded, and stated the purpose of calling him here.

"I have two things to hand over to you to do."

Jack said respectfully.

"Please give your orders, I will definitely do my best to complete them."

Luo Yan continued.

"I remember you have a private port on the coast near the swamp in the southwest?"

"It can't be called a port, it's just a small fishing village there..." Jack said respectfully, and suddenly his heart moved and asked, "Do you have anything that needs to be transported in?"

Luo Yan said.

"Almost, but what I need is to load the ship from there."

Jack was stunned and blurted out.

"Load the ship?"

"That's right," Luo Yan didn't hide his plan, and said his plan straight to the point, "I have a batch of goods that need to be transported from Silver Pine Forest to Thunder City's port, and I want to do this through your port."

Jack looked at the Demon King in a daze, unable to speak for a while.

Loading the ship at a smuggling port and transporting it to Thunder City's port?

What kind of operation is this?!

Generally speaking, the ships unloading at his port are to avoid the tariffs of the Campbell Principality, or they are the spoils of war looted by pirates at sea.

He has been doing smuggling work for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen it done in reverse.

And why must it be sea transport?

Disguising it as a land caravan is also fine!

Jack was puzzled.

In fact, he had already tasted the sweetness of "telling stories," but his experience and knowledge were not yet rich enough to be able to integrate it.

What Luo Yan cares about is not that little bit of money from selling goods.

Although that can also earn a lot, it is still too small compared to his real plot.

What he wants to do is to tell a story about the Kelin family.

That great and low-key family has a vast fief overseas, where the mountains are made of gold, the rivers flow with honey, the fruits on the trees make even elves drool, spiders weave webs with silk, and shells contain diamonds instead of pearls.

And as the eldest son of the Kelin family, he came to Thunder City this time with an important purpose—that is, he has taken a fancy to the diligence and intelligence of the residents of Thunder City.

He wants to share the wealth of the colony with the locals and jointly develop this rich and fertile soil, thereby achieving mutual benefit and win-win results.

This story has a fatal attraction for the tycoons and nobles of Thunder City.

Not only because of their imitation of the Imperial high society, but also because they are really too eager to have their own colonies.

It's a pity that the land in the New World is basically eaten by the Empire, and the fertile territory is basically divided among the nobles of the Empire, and there is no left for them at all.

The remaining land is either barren without oil and water, or close to the front line of the war with Hell, or simply controlled by a group of Demon Kings.

The Andes family only shared a little bit of meat soup leaked from the fingers of the Imperial nobles, and became the uncrowned king of Thunder City.

Luo Yan can almost conclude that they will definitely be attracted by this beautiful story. After all, there is nothing new under the sun, and there are examples to refer to for similar things on Earth.

Of course, this story cannot be told with a few carriages; there must be a cargo ship with ocean-going capabilities parked in the port of Thunder City.

It doesn't even need to really go to sea; it's enough to park it at the wharf for the citizens of Thunder City to see.

If he needs to take anything down from it, he just needs to open a ship from Jack's smuggling port and exchange it left hand to right hand when it gets dark.

It's a pity that the teleportation array will leave traces, otherwise it would be better to solve it with extraordinary power.

Luo Yan: "You don't need to know the specific details, you just need to answer me if you can do it."

"No problem, my lord, this is not difficult for us." When saying this, Jack paused for a moment and said hesitantly, "However, there is one thing I must report to you in advance. I don't know what happened to the lizardmen in the swamp area in the southwest recently. They often attack coastal areas, so in terms of safety, it may..."

Looking at Jack, who was hard to speak, Luo Yan said indifferently.

"I will send someone to help you."

He remembered that when he first came here, that group of lizardmen also caused him trouble, but later because of many things in the labyrinth, he couldn't take care of that side for the time being, so he didn't pay attention to them.

But this doesn't mean he forgot.

When he has time, he will settle this account with them sooner or later!

Seeing the Demon King promise to send troops to help him, Jack was overjoyed and thanked him hurriedly.

"Thank you, Demon King!"

"You're welcome, just a small matter."

Luo Yan paused for a moment and continued.

"In addition, the second thing is actually the same as the first. I need you to help me prepare a clean ocean-going cargo ship, and then help me introduce a trustworthy and tight-lipped captain. I don't need him to really go to sea; most of the time he just stays in the port."

Sailors usually stay on the ship and don't come down, which can be done by ghouls, but the captain occasionally has to deal with people in the port, so it's better to arrange a human.

Jack said immediately upon hearing this.

"This is easy to handle. Many of my subordinates have sailing experience, and I can guarantee to you that they are absolutely trustworthy people!"

Not only trustworthy, they have also sworn in front of the Demon King statue, and even recorded it with a recording crystal.

This has almost become a tradition of the Brotherhood.

To become a core member, one must experience the baptism of an acolyte and become a member of the Demon King's believers.

Looking at Jack's sworn guarantee, Luo Yan nodded approvingly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

Jack continued immediately.

"May I ask when you need it?"

Luo Yan thought for a moment and said.

"Can it be done before sunset?"

Before sunset?!

Jack was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked at the sky outside the window. Although it is still morning, it is too rushed to say one day.

However, seeing that the Demon King didn't intend to discuss it with him, he gritted his teeth and finally agreed with a hard scalp.

"I'll try my best..."

Facts have proved that if he doesn't force himself, Jack doesn't know that his execution ability can be so strong, and he really handled things in just one day.

At sunset, a huge ocean-going cargo ship docked at the port of Thunder City, and a huge banner hung on the mast, hunting in the sea breeze.

That flag was made of expensive silk, and the main color was the most expensive purple. In the center of the family crest was a half-crescent silver moon, symbolizing the prominent status of the Kelin family as high in the night sky, never falling. And the silver moon was surrounded by delicate gold threads, like a blooming golden rose, highlighting coldness and nobility.

By the way, the badge printed on the flag was designed by the players of the Great Cemetery, and the labor cost was only ten thousand underworld coins plus fifty contribution points. If it were in the Shengcheng of the Empire, this flag would probably be exposed, after all, there are only a handful of families that use purple as the main color of the family crest, and the various elements in the badge have a certain origin with the family's history.

However, this is the northeast coast of the Whirlpool Sea, the hinterland of the human world, a frontier far from the political center of the Empire.

Even the King of the Lain Kingdom may not have been to the Shengcheng a few times in his life, let alone the Campbell Principality under the Kingdom.

Unless deeply involved in the politics of the Empire, it is impossible to know all the various badges well.

Watching the giant ship slowly sail into the port, the sailors on the wharf and the citizens on the shore cast awe-inspiring eyes one after another.

Although no one recognized the badge, almost everyone linked it to Mr. Kelin, who had been in the limelight recently.

It didn't take long for a few young and strong guys to carry a few big things wrapped in burlap off the ship, load them onto a carriage, and rush towards Queen Street.

The carriage soon arrived at the entrance of the hotel.

With the help of the hotel attendant, the few young and strong guys quickly finished unloading, and then got on the carriage and rushed towards the port, seemingly in a hurry to unload the next batch of goods.

Looking at the things piled up at the entrance of the hotel, this time there were guys who knew the taste and wanted to pick up leaks, but this time they were driven away by the hotel guards.

This work was organized and uploaded by ~~

These things were obviously needed by Mr. Kelin.

The hotel waiters were working together to lift one of the mattresses and move them into the lobby of the hotel one by one.

Looking at the noisy hotel entrance, the onlookers exchanged curious glances and whispered and discussed.

"What are those things again?"

"It looks like Mr. Kelin couldn't stand the backward living quality of Thunder City, so he specially transported a batch of furniture from his fief."

"I've heard of this too. The owner of Rebecca Bedding Boutique seems to have specially gone to the hotel to offer to give that gentleman a batch of bedding for free, but he was driven out without even seeing the person."

"You mean that Mr. Jode's shop?! I remember he used to be the royal tailor hired by the royal family, can't even his craftsmanship enter Mr. Kelin's eyes?"

Everyone exclaimed in disbelief.

However, someone soon curled their lips and muttered.

"Royal family? The royal family of the Campbell Principality can be considered a royal family, but in the end, it's just a duke, and a duke of the Kingdom... That gentleman is a noble of the Empire, maybe his title is not much worse than the Campbell family."

This sentence was recognized by many people.

In Thunder City, the supporters of the Campbell royal family are far less than in the countryside, and this is especially true in the most prosperous Queen District.

Although these citizens will also cheer for the Grand Duke Campbell and the Princess, this does not prevent them from thinking that the nobles of the Empire are more stylish.

After all, the nobles and tycoons of the Campbell Principality think so too.

In their view, the more picky Mr. Kelin's performance is, the more unreasonable it looks, the more it confirms their speculation about his identity.

Some people even boldly inferred that this guy might have royal blood flowing in his body and is a close relative of the Imperial royal family!

A young man couldn't help but say enviously.

"By the way, why are there so many mattresses? How many beds does he want to sleep in?"

"Maybe that gentleman intends to replace all the rooms in the hotel with his mattresses." A man who looked like a shopkeeper said, his curiosity growing.

Perhaps he can book a night to try it out in a few days, maybe he will be lucky enough to feel the extravagance of the daily life of the Imperial nobles.

Anyway, the room fee of 10 silver coins a night is not unacceptable to him; most of the hotels on this street are at this price.

At this moment, he didn't know that this price had already become history, and now the cheapest room type in the Dawn's Embrace Hotel requires a gold coin.

In addition to being curious about Mr. Kelin's daily life, some honest people were curious about why these mattresses arrived so quickly.

"Is it so close from his fief to here?"

Hearing this stupid question, someone beside him quickly rolled his eyes and answered.

"Are you stupid? Do you think people wrote to their family in the morning? Can't this ship have set off right after him!"

"I heard he seems to have come by carriage..."

"Obviously, he got off the ship in the North Sea, traveled through the Northern Academic State and the northern border of the Lain Kingdom all the way here."

"What is he doing? Traveling?"

"Ghost knows... but I heard a piece of gossip. According to people working at the Dawn's Embrace Hotel, their boss seems to have met a mysterious tycoon today, seemingly discussing some incredible business plan!"

An incredible business plan?!

What is that?

Everyone's curiosity was hooked, especially those citizens who do small business, and their eyes flashed with fiery light.

Just as Luo Yan expected, they all smelled the scent of making a fortune, just like sharks smelling blood.

That mysterious tycoon is likely from the Andes family!

No one expects to share the cake from the Andes family, but picking up a little benefit from the cooperation between the two sides is enough for them to make a lot of money!

Just when everyone let the misunderstanding continue to spread, an old man wearing a brown wool coat and a round-topped hat walked to the entrance of the hotel in a hurry.

That person was Jode, who was rejected by the noble Mr. Kelin, the master tailor who once served the royal family of the Campbell Principality!

He pushed away the guard who stopped him without saying a word, walked to the pile of mattresses wrapped in burlap, and reached out to touch them.

In an instant, a look of shock appeared on his face, and then he turned around and sat on it.

Because the hotel staff all knew this old man, they didn't embarrass him at first, but they didn't expect this guy to have no sense of boundaries, so they hurriedly held his arms and pulled him up.

Jode struggled while trying to push away the hotel staff who were holding him, while widening his eyes and saying.

"What is this?! Mattress?! This... what is this made of?! Who designed this thing!"

The surrounding staff didn't know such things, but the old man was making a fuss, his whole face flushed, seemingly determined to get an explanation.

Perhaps the commotion at the hotel entrance caught the attention of that gentleman, and his servant finally appeared at the door.

Looking at Jode, who was unrelenting, Watching Watching Pangke cleared his throat and said.

"My master asked me to tell you that this is a spring mattress popular in their place, designed and produced by the Nest of Shadow Weaving Home Goods Boutique."

Jode stopped struggling and looked at the waiter in front of him blankly.

"Spring... mattress?"

He knew both things, but he was confused when they were put together.

Isn't that thing used on machines?

How could anyone use it to make a mattress?!

Looking at the blank old man, Watching Watching Pangke continued.

"That's right, I don't know the specifics, I only heard that many small and soft springs are grouped together... its precision is no less than a clock, and it's many clocks."

If so, Jode could understand why this thing was so expensive, after all, clocks are very valuable.

It's just that he still couldn't accept this avant-garde design idea and couldn't help but say.

"At least please tell me who its designer is... I want to visit him!"

Watching Watching Pangke shrugged and said with a helpless expression.

"Do you think the noble Mr. Kelin would care about that kind of thing? On his fief, there are countless skilled craftsmen serving him, and he can't remember everyone. Anyway, in terms of bedding, he only recognizes this brand, and only this brand of mattress can let him enter a sweet dream..."

When saying this, Watching Watching Pangke reached out and patted the shoulder of the old man who looked soul-lost, and said in a comforting tone.

"So this is not your fault, your craftsmanship is actually very good, and it is just right for the royal family of the Campbell Principality... However, the times are advancing after all, and not everyone can accept living in the past. Special people need special care."

This sentence didn't just reach Jode's ears, but also drilled into the ears of countless citizens watching the fun around.

Nest of Shadow Weaving...

This sounds like a synonym for a sweet dream.

Almost no one noticed that unknowingly they had remembered this brand and equated it with a good dream.

And on a carriage parked at the edge of the crowd, a gentleman wearing a round-topped hat was thoughtfully watching the entrance of the Dawn's Embrace Hotel.

This person was Yang Andes, the current head of the Andes family, a guest of Grand Duke Edward Campbell, and the true uncrowned king of Thunder City!

As early as last night, he noticed this mysterious guest who suddenly appeared on Queen Street, but he didn't act rashly because he couldn't grasp the other party's identity.

What made Yang Andes care was not the "Nest of Shadow Weaving," but the information inadvertently revealed by the servant standing at the entrance of the hotel—

The Kelin family behind this Mr. Luo Ke Sai seems to have a huge fief overseas!

Thinking of the huge benefits this might bring, Yang Andes' eyebrows couldn't help but raise an arc of interest.

After thinking for a moment, he said to the butler sitting in front of the carriage.

"I want to talk to this Mr. Kelin, I don't know if you have any good ideas."

The butler replied respectfully.

"Princess Ailin Campbell is currently preparing a charity evening party, you can suggest her to invite this noble from the Empire, and then use the opportunity of the evening party to meet him by chance. In this way, it will not make our purpose seem strong, and we can use the reputation of the Campbell family to endorse us."

Although the Andes family has money, they are a new noble family after all, and they are in a disadvantaged position when facing real nobles.

Especially since no one knows them after leaving Thunder City.

But the Campbell family is different.

That is a hero recorded in the epic, and even on the walls of the Shengcheng Church, you can find murals depicting their legends.

Hearing the butler's suggestion, Yang Andes' face showed an appreciative expression.

"Just do as you say."
