Bab 130: C129 Negotiation And Trade
Sixteenth of Growth (Month 2) of the Year 997 - Sengi Council Side Chambers
During the initial agreement. Auryn had made sure to put in a few requests of her own as she now sat in her room in one of the top class inns. This room getting provided to them by the council who was footing the bill for this luxury room.
The room itself was rather large on the top floor. Two large double king sized bed's sat in the main room with several dressers and mirrors. The decor similar to old European with wood finishes to the walls and ceiling.
While the room was not as impressive compared to the vampires hot spring, it was still a lovely room with fresh sheets, multiple windows and fresh food and water in an ice bath at the side.
In one of the side rooms connecting to the main bedroom was a great bathroom. Each tile on the floor made out of a type of marble slate and a decently sized bath filled with water from an outside container. This service was costing nearly four hundred to five hundred gold per night at the least due to the use of water and food alone.
Auryn watched as both Kaye and Kai came from the bathroom. Kaye please at the bath while it seemed Kai was ever neutral about the whole process. Both girls were sitting on one of the beds as Auryn stared out the window again as she noticed the people going about the daily business.
"This town is so amazing compared to the other areas of the Vortex. It's a free area compared to the people of the church, and it has so many nice things!"
Auryn looked over to Kaye with a soft smile. It seemed the woman was not all to bright when it came to things worked around here. She knew first hand as she had tried to enter this city around a month ago herself.
"This city is very restrictive. If you are not a Dwarf or a Dark Elf, then you will be denied residence in the city. Even if you have enough money to purchase a room like this, you will still not get access to live here."
Those words alone caused Kaye to stop as she turned to look at the woman in confusion. Apparently in a state of wonder at why would a town send away people that did not conform to a particular race standard.
"What do you mean?"
Her question was innocent enough as Auryn turned to the woman with another smile. Similar to Nathan's as it was filled with kindness as she stood up and moved to the ice bucket, picking out an apple from it before taking a bite.
"This apple here costs roughly twenty Sengi Silvers. That is roughly three to four gold. The only place I know that has more expensive food is Senoa. The reason for this huge price is because the entire town produces no food. They import most of the food themselves. Mostly from Baski and some from the outside world."
Tossing the apple to Kaye who took it with a small frown as she bit down into the other end of the apple, chewing it slowly as she quickly swallowed it as she thought of a question.
"Baski is dying, and the Outside exit is in the North West while this town is in the North East. It's so far away. How will they get food over here?"
Kai shook her head as she looked away. Kaye confused again as she looked between Auryn and Kai. One smiling while the other looked regretful.
"They won't is the simple answer. If we did not come along and offer this deal, they might not have any decent food supply, and the town would collapse. I doubt this town has much food saved up that is long lasting. With the outer-ring of the city already starving most of the time due to the lack of food it would descend to civil violence, and the people would leave back to the areas with food."
Kaye stared with disbelief as she listened to this. Her eyes were growing wide as she did not know what to say as she sat down on the bed drying herself off with a frown coming onto her face.
"So you are saying that without us they are doomed to starve and die?"
Kaye spoke as Auryn began to smirk as she also let out a soft sigh.
"Do not say it as such even though that is correct. We hold a rather high advantage if we are good enough we may get some nice benefits. I think I know Nathan well enough to say that we don't want to push our advantage and being generous will foster better relationships."
Both women nodded in response as everyone began to get ready for the meeting to come, after spending such a night in a lovely room with such amenities the council had hoped to soften them up for the meeting to begin. It was a shame that Auryn knew the tactics well and had already given the true worth of her town to her group.
A soft knock at the door as a male voice rang out to the people inside. Denoth was speaking through the entrance to the people on the other side.
"I've spoken to the council. We are to be given a tour before the meeting happens. They want to show us the goods they are offering before we make any final deals."
Auryn moved to the door as she opened it to let the man inside. Denoth clearly nervous as he sat inside on one of the chairs as he shook his head. "I hope you all know what you are doing. If we can't deliver the goods then issues will arise."
With a gentle pat on the man's shoulder as Auryn gave him some small amounts of comfort. "I've gotten a tool to help with negotiations and I'm sure they will see it our way when it comes down to it they have little choice in the matter. They will have no other choice when it comes to both food and water when they figure out what has happened to the town of Baski."
Denoth calmed down, Kaye and Kai again nodding as the group stood up and got ready to depart.
"Alright, let's go make a deal!"
