Black Dragon Code

"real?"

He hesitated, and couldn't help asking back.

"..."

The black shirt ignored him, as if he had never heard of it.

In the eyes of these people, they are the direct army of the Black Emperor, and their status is higher than these bastards, so naturally there is no need to talk to the bastards, even many northern nobles (not black wing nobles), black Not even a shirt is too respectful.

The reason why I mentioned it just now was because of the order from above: all visitors who come to visit must be informed.

Button stood where he was, hesitating for a while.

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

Finally, he gritted his teeth, pushed open the door with a sullen head, and walked in.

He was going to ask the price first, and if he didn't make a free U-turn and come out again, at worst, he would be scolded and kicked out. The prohibition in the "Black Dragon Code" did not say that asking for prices after entering the tavern was not 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 environment made him feel a little nervous again.

Fortunately, the person behind the counter gave him enough confidence, he looked like a familiar face, yes, he was the waiter in the tavern he used to frequent.

It seemed that the tavern had closed down and the waiter had moved. After thinking about it, Barton realized that he hadn't seen him for a long time since this time.

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

Seeing the customer coming to the door, the waiter smiled: "Also, do you need anything?"

Barton stepped forward with some trepidation, looked at the young man with wooden-rimmed glasses in front of him, opened his mouth, and popped out a sentence: "I heard from the black shirt outside that drinks are free these days?"

As soon as he said this, he regretted it, and cursed in his heart, damn it, it was so abrupt and rude.

But the waiter still kept smiling. The salary offered to him was very high, and the Elegy Tavern had strict requirements on the waiters, so he had to maintain professionalism: "Yes, sir. The Elegy Tavern will continue to have free drinks for a week, but in the Before that, I think you need to pass a small checkpoint."

"What level?"

Button's voice gradually became calmer, and after finding that there was no major problem, the initial nervousness gradually subsided.

The messenger pointed to the wooden board hanging by his side, on which were written three lines of neat handwriting, but because most people in the Northland were illiterate, he took care of the explanation: "Play with the elegy card, and the winner of the game will get a cup of summer blue ( Another name for Summer Grass Brewing), win three rounds, you can get a cup of Northland scorching sun, win ten rounds, the glory of the empire, free drinks can only be drunk in the tavern. And losers will lose their qualifications for the day."

"Elegy card, what is that?" Barton asked in confusion.

The waiter pointed to the stacked cards in the transparent closet, did not introduce where they came from, but said: "A new type of card game."

"During this period, we will provide you with free dirge decks for you to experience. As long as you don't maliciously damage the cards, you don't have to pay any rent for it."

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

Under the guidance of the waiter's eyes, Barton looked at the other attendants on both sides of the tavern, "——I will explain the rules to you, and at the same time provide assistance as a game referee and judge the outcome."

The whole activity is the meaning of the black dragon lord. Compared with the previous earth, the thinking of human beings in Elradia is more rigid and slow, and it has been solidified for thousands of years.

This makes it difficult for these intelligent species to accept new things, especially things that have nothing to do with them, and they will not be contaminated.

After all, even games require learning costs, and in the early days of card release, it may be more meaningful to let them spend time and energy for no reason than to sleep in the eyes of the Northlanders.

Therefore, in order to prevent the possibility of the elegy card being used as a table corner after being given away for nothing, Caesar changed his marketing methods and launched this activity.

In order to get free drinks, these guys will naturally try their best to understand the rules and gameplay of elegy cards after they have the desire to win.

This is also the only way in the actual operation. Even if Caesar has done the greatest optimization, the Elegy card cannot be as simple and easy as it was in the previous life, because in the previous life, many randomness and rules were replaced by programs. , Players only need to spend time on the fun of the game.

But in Elradia, if you want to really enjoy the fun of dirge cards, you must first be proficient in the rules of dirge cards.

This is the threshold, and if the threshold is too high, it will bring great harm to an entertainment product, so the existence of the Elegy Tavern is inevitable, and so are the free drink activities.

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

"it is good."

Button nodded without hesitation, and was about to leave. It seemed that this high-end tavern was not as scary as he had imagined.

So far at least, the Elegy Tavern has not been a place to embarrass him. On the contrary, it is comfortable and inviting, with ice-cold stones that spread the air, and smells of cloves and gooseberries.

It was not difficult for Barton to find another player. He didn't even have to run to the street to pull people, because his hut was not far next door.

He can definitely bring his wife or son together to carry out the so-called elegy card duel.

For this reason, Barton also made a special point, witnessing the waiter swear to the gods, the winner will definitely get a cup of "Summer Blue", and the loser will not suffer any punishment or pay any price.

"etc."

Button walked halfway, then turned around suddenly, with a mysterious face, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Xiwei, let me ask a little more, who is the owner of this tavern?"

"As long as you don't violate the prohibitions in the "Black Dragon Code", here we can guarantee your absolute safety from any violation." The counter waiter said loudly, with a calm expression, as if he didn't hear the customer's question.

"Understood."

Barton nodded gratefully to him. With key words like "absolutely safe" and "free from any infringement", if he can't guess the owner behind the Elegy Tavern, his IQ will probably be able to compete with the orcs.

I really didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor 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 amount of energy to pay attention to the feedback after the Elegy card tested the market.

To his surprise, judging from the feedback from the Rhine Capital, the Elegy Tavern did not cause a sensation on the first or second day of its opening, attracting too much attention. There was no official publicity, and the market's Feedback wasn't great.

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

This situation is related to the domestic atmosphere under the rule of the Black Dragon. We are currently in the era of the Great Depression, and the desire threshold of the people in the North has dropped to the freezing point and bottomed out.

After all, just to survive, they have already been careful and exhausted, so they are not interested in paying attention to what other things are contaminated.

However, Caesar knew that with the construction of several large factories and job opportunities, the situation in the northern countries would gradually improve.

At the same time, although the northern countries are prohibited from exporting any trade, the Black Wing Royal Court has already started to purchase furs and timber from other nobles and merchants. Alleviate certain economic pressure on the duchies.

Wealth needs to flow, and the more it flows, the more valuable it is. Once it is locked, there may only be a 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, and in terms of sales channels, he must also pry them out from the hands of big nobles and big businessmen from all over the world.
