"Really?"


    He hesitated and couldn''t help asking.


    “……”


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


    In these people''s own eyes, they are the direct army of the black emperor. They have no higher status than these fart people, so naturally there is no need to talk to fart people. Even many northern nobles (non black wing nobles) and black shirts will not respect them very much.


    The reason why I made such a remark just now is just because of the order from above: all visitors must be informed.


    Patton stood where he was and hesitated for a moment.


    ——How can you pretend to come often when you enter such a high-end tavern for the first time?


    Finally, he gritted his teeth, pushed the door open with his head depressed and went in.


    He is going to ask the price first. If he doesn''t turn around for free and then come out, the big deal is to be scolded and expelled. The prohibition of the black dragon code doesn''t say that no inquiry is allowed after entering the tavern.


    When Patton 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 the tavern. The quiet environment made him nervous again.


    Fortunately, the man behind the counter gave him enough confidence. He looked like a familiar face. Yes, he was the waiter of the tavern he used to patronize.


    It seemed that the tavern had closed down and the waiter had moved. Patton thought about it and found that he hadn''t seen him for a long time.


    "Welcome, find a seat by the ice stone."


    When the customer came to the door, the waiter smiled and said, "what else do you need?"


    Patton came forward slightly uneasy and looked at the young man with wooden frame glasses. He opened his mouth and said, "listen to the black shirt outside. Drinks are free these days?"


    As soon as he said this, he regretted it. He scolded endlessly in his heart. Damn it, it was abrupt and rude.


    But the waiter still kept smiling, the salary offered to him was very high, and the elegy tavern was very strict with the waiter, so he must maintain his professional quality: "yes, sir. The elegy tavern will continue to have free drinks for a week, but before that, I think you need to pass a small level."


    "What level?"


    Patton''s voice gradually calmed down. After finding that there was no big problem, the initial tension gradually subsided.


    The messenger pointed to the board hanging on his side, which was written in three lines of neat handwriting. However, because most people in the north were illiterate, he explained: "if you play with elegy cards, the winner of the game can get a cup of summer blue (another name for summer grass wine) , if you win three innings, you can get a cup of northern sun, win ten innings and imperial glory. Free drinks can only be drunk in the tavern. The loser will lose the qualification of the day. "


    "Elegy card, what''s that?" Patton asked confusedly.


    The waiter pointed to the cards coded in the transparent closet. He didn''t introduce where they came from. He just said, "a new card game."


    "During this period, we will provide you with a free elegy card set for you to experience. You don''t have to pay any rent as long as you don''t maliciously damage the card."


    The waiter then turned his head and looked at the door behind Patton: "but now there are no players competing with you. To get a reward, you need to find a player to play with you. At that time, our attendants -"


    Guided by the waiter''s eyes, Patton looked at the other attendants on both sides of the tavern "- will explain the rules for you, and provide assistance and judge the outcome as a game referee."


    The whole activity is the meaning of the Black Dragon Lord. Compared with the previous earth, the thinking of Aladdin human beings is more rigid and dull, and has been solidified for thousands of years.


    This makes it difficult for these intelligent species to accept new things, especially those that have no interest in themselves.


    After all, even games need to pay learning costs. In the early stage of card sales, if you want them to pay the cost of time and energy for no reason, it may not be as meaningful as sleeping.


    Therefore, in order to prevent the elegy card from being taken to cushion the corner of the table after being given away, Caesar changed his marketing means and launched this activity.


    To get free drinks, these guys will naturally try to understand the rules and playing methods of elegy cards after they have a desire to win.


    This is also the only way in practical operation. Even if Caesar made the greatest optimization, the elegy card can not be as simple and easy to use as in the previous life, because in the previous life, many randomness and rules were replaced by programs, and players only need to spend time on the fun of the game.


    But in Aladia, if you want to really enjoy the fun of elegy cards, you must first master the rules of elegy cards.


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


    This is the marketing investment. Caesar has already calculated this part of the expenditure into the early investment.


    "OK."


    Patton nodded without hesitation and was ready to start. It seemed that this very high-end tavern was not as terrible as he thought.


    At least so far, the elegy tavern has not appeared to embarrass him. On the contrary, it is very comfortable and popular. There are solid ice stones spreading air conditioning, and the smell of cloves and currants.


    Finding another player was not difficult for button. He didn''t even have to run to the street to pull people, because his cabin was not far from the next door.


    He can take his wife or son and come to the so-called elegy card duel.


    To this end, Patton also made a special point to witness the waiter swear to the gods that the winner will get a cup of "Summer Blue", while the loser will not suffer any punishment or pay any price.


    "Wait."


    Patton walked out half way, then suddenly turned back, his face was mysterious, and quietly asked, "little Xiwei, let me ask more, who is the owner of this tavern?"


    "As long as you don''t violate the prohibition in the black dragon code, here, we can ensure your absolute safety from any violation." the counter waiter said loudly, looking calm and didn''t seem to hear the questions raised by the customers.


    "I see."


    Patton nodded at him gratefully. "Absolutely safe" and "inviolable". If he couldn''t guess the behind the scenes owner of elegy tavern, his IQ would be higher than that of the orcs.


    I didn''t expect that his Majesty would be interested in these things.


    This is Caesar''s little wish, so Heilong not only focused on Barrett''s publicity work these two days, but also devoted a small part of his energy to the feedback after the elegy card tested the market.


    To his surprise, only based on the feedback from the king of Rhine, Elegy tavern did not cause a sensation on the first and second days of opening, attracted too much attention, and there was no official publicity, so the feedback on the market was not good.


    It was not until the third day that the traffic of elegy tavern ushered in an explosive growth, and it was not until the fifth day that the first elegy standard card bag was sold.


    This situation is related to the domestic atmosphere under the rule of the black dragon. At present, it is in the era of the great depression, and the desire threshold of Beidi people has reached the bottom of the freezing point.


    After all, just to survive, they have been careful and tried their best. They are not interested in paying attention to what else they are contaminated with.


    However, Caesar knew that with the completion of several large factories and the provision of jobs, the situation of the northern countries would gradually improve.


    At the same time, although the northern countries are prohibited from any trade export, the black wing King 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 is not forcibly collected, it can alleviate some economic pressure on the principalities.


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


    On the other hand, with the completion of the large assembly line factory, it is also time for him to set up several black wing official import and export caravans. In terms of channel sales, he must pry out from the hands of big nobles and businessmen everywhere and inherit and integrate them.
