On the south shore of Lake Hammer, on the road that Charles and Diana had taken after escaping from the traffickers together, a large caravan was moving from west to east.

The second leader of the caravan was a little depressed, the ship capacity of Hammer Lake was tight recently, they had not been able to find a ship when they had relied on water transportation to take this route, and the local officials were not so face-saving when the big boss was gone, so they could only take the land route to the Forging Holy Land and then take a boat.

The pack horses naturally have to eat more feed when they go by land than when they go by water, and the increased cost is a headache for the second master.

At this moment, a sword-wielding thief suddenly appeared in the middle of the road ahead, he brandished his long sword and shouted at the caravan: "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to ......"

Before the thief finished speaking, the second master waved his hand and shouted: "Leave him alone, keep walking, he will run over if he doesn't dodge!"

Several of the new caravan drivers looked confused, while the old members next to them were stunned for a moment, and then they all burst into laughter.

"Count it on you!" shouted Charles, pointing at Aubrey, and jumped to his feet on the roof of the first carriage.

Aubrey, who was riding a horse on the side, sneered: "The little guy who hasn't grown up is also learning from others?"

Charles pointed to Aubrey's bare head and said, "Say it as if yours are all the same!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Charles jumped towards the second carriage to the cheerful laughter of the caravan, dodging the magic attack thrown by Aubrey.

Charles greeted everyone as he jumped over the roof of the carriage and sat down on the roof of the cooking car after a few ups and downs.

"I'm pretty good now. Chef Donio said to Charles on the roof of the car, "You didn't have that skill before. ”

"So-so. Charles simply lay on the roof of the car basking in the autumn sun, and the caravan was one of the few places where he could relax.

"How's the Prairie going?" asked Charles.

"The situation is serious. "This year's drought in the grasslands is very severe, and the herdsmen in the north have returned early, and the sheep have not been able to eat, and I am afraid that there will be trouble in winter and spring." Food production in the south is also a big problem, with production being only half that of previous years. ”

Charles thought for a moment, and then said, "Please help me contact your daughter's mother's husband, I am going to buy a batch of grain now." There are two ways to pay, one is to pay in full in cash at the current price, and the other is to return 80% of his grain in March next year. ”

"No problem. Donio agreed.

He was also worried that if the orcs in the north could not withstand the disaster and went south to eat a large household, the losses would be even greater.

King Barnett I of Fillingen and the other nobles also knew this, but due to the limitations of the landlord class, none of them were willing to help the orcs in the north.

The merchants were willing to bring the grain over in the year of disaster, but the merchant's profit-seeking made the orcs dislike the merchants who took advantage of the fire.

Of the three human nations bordering the orcs to the north, the easternmost kingdom of Ryric is better protected by mountains, and the maple forests in the north of the Fringen Kingdom and the Biberach Kingdom are fighting like a sieve, and they can't be guarded against.

Therefore, Charles's family has provided free relief to orcs during disaster years for hundreds of years, which has played an important role in stabilizing peace in the north.

After talking about business, Charles and Donio started chatting without a match.

Donio is very interested in the matter between Charles and Linda, there is no way, in case the "Maccaden Economic Circle" really becomes, their Fringen Kingdom is surrounded in the middle is the most unlucky baby.

Worried about the country and the people, Donio began to regret that he had sent his twin daughters to the Knowledge City so early, otherwise maybe he would be able to replace the Bischberg Kingdom in the "economic circle" with his actions, and then the Firingen Kingdom would be able to divide the Bischberg Kingdom with Duke Redkin.

Although his sister and King Barnett I also had twin daughters, the king's biological daughter was nominally the heir to the earl, while his natural daughter was the royal daughter, and the name was often higher than the blood relationship in political marriages.

Donio also revealed a message to Charles.

"What?" exclaimed Charles, "is Princesse Rose ready to ascend the throne?"

"It's only been a few years. "The king of Bibrach is getting worse than a year, and he has plans to abdicate the throne, and now he has begun to let out the news." ”

Charles frowned and said, "Tell me something that everyone doesn't know." ”

"It's not you guy who made a mess of the royal marriage plans of the northern countries. "There is no suitable candidate for Biberach, so I plan to let Rose ascend to the throne, and she will marry your sister Mira when she gets married and has children." ”

"Of course, it's true that their king is not in good health. ”

Charles slapped his mask and let out a long sigh, speechless for a while.

Then Donio tentatively said, "Charles, how about you dump Linda and marry my two daughters?" ”

Charles, who was on the roof of the car, sighed again and said, "Don't talk about this anymore, we're still good friends." ”

When Donio saw Charles say this, he couldn't continue.

That's when Charles asked, "Are you still home to visit your mother this time?"

"Definitely back. Donio replied.

Then Charles threw a big bag of money to Donio, and said, "Help me give this bag of money to the brothers and sisters Lancelot and Gnevelle in the village, who must have a hard time here due to the drought." ”

Although the money in the bag weighed a lot, it was basically a large and small copper coin and some silver dinars, and only two gold ores were placed.

It would not be a good thing for a small villager like Lancelot to get a large sum of money all at once, enough for them to survive this time, so that others would only envy and not blush.

However, Charles hadn't asked much about Lancelot's family before, and he didn't know that no one would dare to make up his mind even if they put a box of gold coins in their house now.

"Oh?" Tonyo was surprised by this, "You see someone's sister?"

Charles almost took out a durian from the storage ring and smashed the guy as he said, "Lancelot is now half of Artoria's student. ”

Donio shook his head and said, "What a lucky little guy." ”

Then he asked Charles, "What are you doing here this time, the situation in the south has eased?"

"We're getting those salted fish in trouble with diplomacy. Charles said, "I'm afraid they won't have the energy to attack in a short time." ”

"Is it really that serious that they gave the girl to the devil?" said Tonyo, who was in the north during this time and didn't know much about the things in the south.

"We have rescued more than 200 people, and many of the bodies of the victims have been found. Charles said, "It seems like the Temple of the Sea will intervene in this." ”

Then he continued: "When I was in Qiqiu City a few days ago, their envoy wanted to assassinate me. ”

"As for me coming," Charles stretched, "come and witness history." ”
