Chapter 56: Exclusivity
() () ()
Sunrise in the East
The red sun broke free from the shackles of the earth, and jumped into the sky with all its might, swaying out the strange peaks and strange stones in the wilderness were dyed with a layer of golden color, which looked like a different scene
In front of the Gray Wolf Village, a caravan of ten carriages was slowly activating the wagons, and the flags on the carriages were embroidered with Hilton's family coat of arms
On the side of the mountain road, someone sent the leader of the line, and it was the owner of the gray wolf village, one of the four bandit leaders, Mitchell, the gray wolf
The carriage ran, faster and faster, and slowly, the figure of the gray wolf Mitchell, as well as the entire gray wolf village, were left far behind
Owen retracted his gaze from afar, and asked worriedly, "Is it really okay to arrange it like this?" ”
Anthony lay lazily on the soft couch in the carriage, his eyes narrowed slightly: "What do you mean?" Mitchell the four of them? ”
Solved the four major bandit leaders, on this trade route, there are no more forces and groups worth paying attention to, plus the three people such as Storm Bear who left the day before, they have sent someone to inform or warn other small bandit groups, do not provoke Hilton's convoy, the next road is estimated to be a smooth road, and even if there is no obstacle, there is no need for Anthony, the leader, to take action personally, and the elite soldiers of the Hilton family below are enough to deal with it
For these proud soldiers, they are eager to have a little thief who does not open their eyes and do not listen to persuasion to come to find trouble, this is expected to be an extremely difficult task, under the planning and personal management of the magical and brave Mr. Anthony, it has become a journey to follow such a strong leader, but these elite subordinates are almost not an inch, how faceless to say
Therefore, these family elites are all gearing up, waiting with high morale, searching for possible bandits, looking forward to a shocking battle to prove that they and others are not here to fight soy sauce to make up the numbers
It's a pity that their wishes are doomed to fail
Anthony worked hard to formulate this battle plan, one ring after another, interlocking, luring the four bandit leaders step into the trap he set step by step, and finally even risked his life to fight the three bandit leaders alone, that is, to complete the battle and decide the battle
After getting rid of the four bandit leaders, and then driving the four people to escort the Hilton caravan, the Hilton caravan will be ten times safer to walk on this trade road than the official road
In such an obvious situation, Owen is also a "business genius" halo on his head, of course, he can see it, but he is wary of another matter
"Put the four of them back like this, I always don't feel very relieved about your 'Xuanbing Talisman', is it reliable?"
"You can rest assured, if they dare to play tricks, then the end is definitely worse than death" Anthony is full of confidence
Before parting, Anthony distributed the antidote that had been prepared long ago to the gray wolf and the other four
The Xuanbing Talisman in the four people's bodies, once a month, as long as they take an antidote, they can resolve the pain of the itching that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, if the antidote is used up, when the Xuanbing Talisman attacks next month, they can only suffer hard
But even if you can survive this time, you will continue to have an attack next time, and the interval will gradually shorten, from one month to half a month, 7 days, 3 days, 1 day, and finally people will endure the torture of itching all the time
Therefore, as long as Anthony does not help the four of them remove the Xuanbing talisman from their bodies, they will be subject to Anthony for the rest of their lives in exchange for a monthly antidote
No one would be willingly controlled, not to mention that Anthony, a high-level professional with a high heart, expected that after the four of them returned, they would definitely find someone to study the way to remove the Xuanbing talisman and concoct the antidote
In this regard, Anthony was not worried at all, he even gave each person an extra antidote, saying that they would rest assured that they would find someone to study the concoction, and he would not hold him to blame
He just wants them to experiment, to try, to wait until they realize that there is no other way but to seek an antidote from themselves, and then they will stop thinking and obey their own commands wholeheartedly
Will they be able to find a way? Don't be kidding, the internal strength used by Anthony comes from another world, and this world has never even heard of it, let alone dissolved and forcibly expelled by a high-level powerhouse? The strength of the Xuan Ice Talisman has been connected to the inside of the recipient's brain, and if you don't know how to resolve it, you will only turn people into idiots if you use violence to expel them
As for the antidote, its refining is also extremely ingenious
According to the general people's thoughts, the most important antidote must be the constituent drugs, but the antidote to the Xuanbing Fu is just the opposite, those drugs are useless for alleviating the onset of the Xuanbing Fu, the antidote is actually a unique "internal strength", and the meaning of the existence of the drug is only to preserve this "internal strength"
In other words, the real antidote is the unique "internal strength" of the different world, and if one thinks about how to deconstruct the ingredients of the medicine, even if the ratio between the ingredients can refine the exact same "antidote", it will have no effect on dissolving the Xuanbing Fu
As long as no one in this world has mastered this unique cultivation method, Anthony will not have to worry about the Xuanbing Talisman being cracked
So what is there to worry about
Owen saw that he was full of confidence, although he was still skeptical, but he was also slightly relieved
This young man has already created too many miracles, and Owen has begun to trust him blindly for no reason
Immediately, he frowned again and raised another question: "The business road is completely opened, and all merchants can profit through the business road, for our Hilton family, of course, it is not as cost-effective as the current one, but we let the bandits of the business road intercept all the other noble merchants, and just let our family go with us safely, I'm afraid it will attract jealousy."
On that day, Anthony proposed to the four bandit leaders to maintain the status quo, which means that except for the caravan of Hilton that passed safely, all the other caravans, no matter which one it was, all followed the old rules, robbed what should be robbed, burned what should be burned, and killed what should be killed. Don't
Anthony sat up and looked at Owen with a strange face: "You mean that we have worked hard to build up the business road, and we want to contribute it free of charge and share it with all the merchants in Edinburgh City?" ”
Owen smiled wryly: "I didn't mean that, but ......"
But what, he couldn't think of a suitable word for a moment
Anthony continued: "You don't have to worry, as long as we claim to the public that we have paid a large amount of tolls to the bandits here, we will not be criticized for being able to pass through the trade road safely, we will take the initiative in this matter, and we can say whatever we want, can anyone still find the gray wolf to confront them."
"You think too simply, this is just the past on the surface, those old nobles are like monkeys, how can they fool them"
To be honest, Owen also wanted to agree with Anthony's method and monopolize the trade road, but this was impossible, otherwise, he would be the enemy of all the merchant nobles in Edinburgh
Anthony said disapprovingly: "It's that you think too complicated, everything can't always lift a reason, as long as we don't have an obvious handle to be caught, we have to talk about it From the scene, regardless of whether it is to pay the toll or what's going on, it is the ability of the Hilton family to pass, and it is not in the way of anyone else, so it naturally has nothing to do with others; If you break it with me, why should we share it with others for free, no matter what, it is unreasonable to ask us to open up the business road to pass, or you can fight like us; Either obediently pay a large amount of protection money to the gray wolf."
Owen still smiled bitterly: "I also understand this truth, but, in the eyes of those nobles, there has always been only a profit truth, for them is like a night pot, take it when you need it, use it, and kick it away when you get in the way, we have to do this, we are enemies of all nobles"
"Hehe," Anthony couldn't help laughing, "aren't we fighting against almost all the nobles in Edinburgh now?" ”
Owen was stunned for a moment, then laughed as well
He was so confused that he almost forgot about it
In that case, do as Anthony says
Fuck it
