Black Dragon Code

"Really?"

He hesitated and couldn't help asking back.

"..."

The black shirt ignored him, as if he hadn't heard of it.

In the eyes of these people, they are the direct army of the Black Emperor. I don’t know where they are higher than these scummers, so naturally there is no need to take care of scummers, even many northern nobles ( Non-black-winged nobles), the black shirt will not be too respected.

The reason why I mentioned such a mouth earlier was only because of the command above: all visitors must inform.

Barton stood there and hesitated for a while.

——It’s the first time you enter such a high-end tavern, how can you pretend to come often?

Finally, he clenched the teeth, sullenly opened the door, and walked in.

He is going to ask for the price first. If it’s not a free U-turn and then come out, at worst will be scolded and sent away. The ban in the "Black Dragon Code" does not include entering the tavern. No inquiry is allowed.

When Barton walked into the Elegy Tavern, he suddenly realized that there were tavern attendants standing on both sides. He seemed to be the first customer of this tavern. The quiet and quiet environment made him change again. To be a little nervous.

Fortunately, the person behind the counter gave him enough confidence. He looked like a familiar face. Yes, he was the bartender that he used to frequent.

It seemed that the tavern had closed down, and the waiter moved the place. Barton thought for a while and realized that he hadn't seen him for a long time since this time.

"Welcome, find a seat next to the ice stone and sit casually."

When the customer came to the door, the waiter smiled: "Besides, do I need something?"

Barton stepped forward slightly nervously, looking at the young man with wooden-frame glasses in front of him, opened his mouth, and said: "Listen to the black shirt outside, the past few days, the drinks are free?"

He regretted this as soon as he said it. He cursed in the heart, damn it, it was abrupt and rude.

But the waiter still keeps a smile. The salary offered to him is high. The Elegy Tavern has strict requirements for the waiter, so he must maintain professionalism: "Yes, sir. The Elegy Tavern will continue. Drinks for a week are free, but before that, I think you need to pass a small level."

"What level?"

Barton's voice gradually became calm, and found that it was not too big After the problem, the initial tension gradually subsided.

The messenger pointed to the wooden board hanging on his side, which was written with three lines of neat handwriting. However, because most of the people in the North were illiterate, he took care of the explanation: "Use the Elegy card to play, the game wins Winners can get a glass of Summer Blue (another name for Shucao Distilled Wine), win three rounds, get a glass of Northern Sun, win ten rounds, and empire glory. Free drinks can only be drunk in the tavern. The loser will lose the qualification for that day. "

"Elegy card, what is that?" Barton asked confusedly.

The waiter pointed to the well-coded cards in the transparent closet, and did not introduce where they came from, but said: "A new card game."

"Here For a while, we will provide a free Elegy card set for you to experience. As long as you don’t maliciously damage the card, you don’t have to pay any rent for it."

The waiter then turned his head and looked behind Barton. Door: "But now there are no players competing with you. To get rewards, you need to find a player to play with you. At that time, our attendants—"

Under the guidance of his eyes, Barton looked towards the other attendants on both sides of the tavern "——I will explain the rules for you, and at the same time provide assistance as a game referee and judge the winner."

The whole event is the Lord of Black Dragon It means that compared to the previous life Earth, the thinking of Aradia humans is more rigid and slow, and has been solidified for thousands of years.

This makes it difficult for these intelligent species to accept new things, especially things that have no interest in them, and they will not be contaminated.

After all, even for games, you need to pay the cost of learning, and the Early-Stage card is sold, and if you want them to pay the cost of time and energy for no reason, in the eyes of the Northlanders, maybe it is better to sleep. Comes meaningful.

So, in order to prevent the elegy card from being taken to the corner of the table after it was given away in vain, Caesar changed its marketing methods and launched this campaign.

For those who use the beverages that Northlanders are interested in to experience, in order to get free beverages, after these guys have a desire to win, they will naturally work hard to understand the rules and playing methods of elegy cards.

This is also the only way in the actual operation. Even if Caesar has made the greatest optimization, the Elegy card cannot be as simple and easy to use as in the previous life, because in the previous life, there are a lot of randomness, The rules are replaced by programs, and players only need to spend their time on the fun of the game.

But in Aradia, if you want to truly enjoy the fun of elegy, you must first master the rules of elegy.

This is the threshold, and an excessively high threshold will cause great harm to an entertainment product. Therefore, the existence of the elegy tavern is inevitable, and free drinks and drinks are inevitable.

This is the marketing investment, Caesar has already calculated this part of the cost into the initial investment.

"Okay."

Barton without the slightest hesitation nodded and prepared to leave. It seemed that this very high-end pub was not as scary as he thought.

At least until now, the Elegy Tavern has not appeared in a place that embarrassed him. On the contrary, it is very comfortable and inviting, with air-conditioned ice stones, and the fragrance of cloves and gooseberries.

It is not difficult for Barton to find another player. He doesn't even have to run to the street to pull people because his hut is not far away.

He can bring his wife or son to come together for a so-called elegy showdown.

For this, Barton also specifically determined that he witnessed the waiter swear to the gods that the winner will get a cup of "summer blue", and the loser will not suffer any punishment or pay. At any price.

"Wait."

Barton walked out halfway, then suddenly turned back, his face mysterious and secretive, and whispered: "Xiwei, let me ask more. Who is the boss of this tavern?"

"As long as you do not violate the prohibition in the "Black Dragon Code", here, we can guarantee your absolute safety and not be violated in any way." The counter waiter said loudly. , The expression is calm, and it seems that I have not heard the questions raised by customers.

"Understood."

Barton nodded to him in gratitude, "absolutely safe" and "inviolable" if he can't guess the elegy The Boss behind the tavern, IQ is estimated to be able to compete with the orcs.

Really didn't expect, the Emperor Your Majesty would be interested in these things.

This is Caesar’s little wish, so Black Dragon has not only focused on Barrett’s publicity work in the past two days, but also allocated a small part of its energy to feedback after the elegiac card is testing the market. Pay attention.

Unexpectedly, based on the feedback from the Rhine Capital alone, the Elegy Pub did not cause a sensation on the first and 2nd day of its opening. It attracted too much attention and there was no official on the surface. The publicity, the feedback in the market is not good.

It wasn't until the 3rd day that the traffic of the Elegy Tavern ushered in an explosive growth, and it was not until the fifth day that the first record of the Elegy standard card pack being sold appeared.

This situation is related to the domestic ethos under the rule of Black Dragon. It is currently in the era of the Great Depression, and the desire threshold of Northlanders has reached a freezing point.

After all, just by surviving, they are already cautiously and exhausted, so there is no interest in paying attention to other things.

However, Caesar knows that the situation in Northern Kingdoms will gradually improve as several large factories are built and job opportunities are provided.

At the same time, although Northern Kingdoms is prohibited from exporting any trade, the Black Wing King's Court has begun to purchase fur and wood from other nobles and merchants. Although the purchase price is 10% lower than the market price, as long as it does not Forcibly seized, it can somewhat ease the economic pressure of each duchy.

Wealth needs to flow. The more it flows, the more valuable it is. Once locked, there is probably only dead end. Caesar knows this truth very well.

On the other hand, with the completion of the large-scale assembly line factory, it is time for him to form several official Blackwing import and export caravans. In terms of channel sales, he must also start from the big nobles, The big businessmen pry out their hands and inherit and integrate.
