Going to Kalka City was not a snod whim, it was well thought out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Iron ore has been handed in all these years, and the guards of the border fortress have known themselves for a long time. If they go to the fortress, they will definitely report to Viscount Fness or to his hateful son.

When the time comes, it is a question of whether Snow and the other abandoned people can be allowed into the city. Not to mention that they also need to exchange gold coins and buy medicinal herbs. Once Aker and the others found out that Snow had gold and iron in his hands, they would definitely be puzzled. Maybe someone will be sent to arrest Snow and others, and torture them to interrogate the source of Jin Tieshi. When the time comes, let alone buying herbs to save Elena and the others, the residents of the entire Rook Town will be in danger.

This danger does not arise when going to Kalka City, which allows merchants from other kingdoms to enter. With the church in control, they don't need to guard against each other. Snow and the others can use the excuse of the merchants of the border city fortress to enter the city directly, and then exchange gold, iron and stone for gold coins. Buy medicinal herbs and other things for the winter, buy a few horse-drawn carriages, and return quickly.

It would take a day and a night to walk to Kalka City, and the speed of the three Snow trio in a flatbed truck could be increased considerably. After careful calculation, three days of back and forth should be enough. Snow had long planned to go to Kalka City, and this time he was able to explore the point.

Snow briefly explained the truth to the residents, and Abra and the others agreed. But many people have to go with them, and Yalian is naturally indispensable among them.

"This time there is a tight time, and it is inconvenient to have too many people. Moreover, there are rules in each town, and merchants from other countries need to be issued by the nobles to enter the city, and you will not be able to enter with them. "Before, a few merchants in the town had left some business certificates, but after so many years, there are only three left.

Snow quickly finalized the selection, and Abra was arguably the best man in town, and he counted as one. As for Geralsang, the reason for letting him go is simple. He is a blacksmith, and it is reasonable for gold and iron stone to appear in the hands of a blacksmith, and it will not arouse the suspicion of others.

Randolph needs to stay in charge of the town, while Mandason is responsible for guarding the town. Although the beasts were repelled this time, no one could guarantee that there would be any more undying beasts attacking again, and Mandasen could not leave.

As for Yalian, she couldn't go with her. Kalka City is about the same level as the border city fortress, and there must be an exorcism array arranged by the church in front of the city gate, and Yalian can't enter the city at all. Moreover, there is also an object of light holy water on the prescription, which must be obtained at the contribution door of the church, and it is too dangerous for Yalian to follow.

After repeatedly instructing Briss, Arlene and the others to take good care of Elena and the injured residents, Snow simply cleaned up, took Abra and Gerosanne to open the gate, and drove the flatbed to the east.

After crossing the frozen Lianxi River, the three of them took turns to drive, and when it was dawn, Snow and the others had already entered the realm of the Riva Kingdom.

Snow lay on the wooden cart and fell asleep unconsciously, during which time he was physically and mentally exhausted. By the time Abra woke him up, it was late in the evening.

"Lord Town, we're in Hogg Town." Abra said, pointing to a small town not far ahead.

Hogg is a small town northwest of Kalka City, founded much earlier than Rook Town, with about a few hundred households. It's a small town, but it's actually more like a manor. It was the lord of the city of Kalka. It was set up by Viscount Hogg and used for temporary recreation.

By this time, the townspeople should have evacuated to Kalka City. After all, the town is not far from the endless mountain forest, and there are still many wild beasts in winter.

"When we get to Kalka City, I can't mention the title of Mayor anymore." Snow sat up and stretched, and said, "Remember, the three of us are brothers, and we are all merchants in the border fortress. Abra is the eldest brother, and Jelosan is the younger brother. ”

Snow begins to orchestrate the story, as a blacksmith in a noble forge shop, Gerosan accidentally gets a piece of gold and iron, so the three brothers venture out of the city to sell it for a good price in Kalka. This is also reasonable, because the blacksmiths in the noble forge are all paid by the nobles.

The nobles provided them with space, tools, and iron, and they only had to forge the iron into various weapons and armor according to the nobles' requirements, and received a regular monthly salary. Because all the raw materials were provided by the nobles, the gold, iron and stone that the blacksmiths happened to forge naturally belonged to the nobles.

In the past, there were some blacksmiths in the noble forging shops, who did not report the gold, iron and stone when they got them, and ran to other castles to sell them. If this kind of thing is discovered by the nobles, it will definitely be punished. However, gold and iron stone are very valuable, and many people are willing to take this risk. And gold and iron stone are in demand everywhere, and buyers in Carcard will not care about these.

"All the gold, iron and stone are placed, right?" Snow turned his head and asked, he had long intended to go to Kalka City to sell the gold and iron stones, so he had Gelosan leave a small piece of gold and iron stones as early as when he built the arrowhead.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, under Snow's instructions, Gelosan beat all the gold and iron stones left behind into strips of index finger length and two finger thickness. This time, a total of eighteen were brought, and Snow and the three of them each brought six. According to Randolph's estimates, these eighteen gold and iron stones can be sold for at least 300 gold coins, which is enough to buy medicinal materials and other things.

"Don't worry, Elder Town, it's all close to you." Gerosan patted his chest and said.

"I've told you everything, call me second brother." Snow gave Geralesan a blank look.

"Yes, yes, I'm used to it." Gerosan scratched his head, smiled, looked ahead and asked, "I don't think there is a little fire in that Hogg town?" ”

"The inhabitants of Hogg are all squires of Viscount Tehuasu, unlike those of us who have been outcast." "Before the winter, they had already returned to Kalka City with the Viscount for the winter, and they would come back next year when the snow melted. ”

"Huh? Big Brother Abra, how do you know so much? Snow asked with a smile.

Abra turned his head to look at Snow and said with a constipated expression, "Isn't it still that you haven't arrived in Kalka City yet?" You still call me by my name, I don't get used to hearing you call me big brother. ”

"If you don't get used to it, you have to get used to it, we have to get used to the new name before we enter the city, and we can't show our stuffing." Snow said solemnly.

"Okay." Abra had to nod, looked ahead and said, "Brother Snow, there is a statue of Viscount Tehuasu in the center of this Hogg town, guess who built it?" ”

Snow raised his eyebrows and said tentatively, "It won't be my grandfather and them." ”

"Wise, it's the old mayor who built it." "Before we were abandoned and driven out of the Bordertown fortress, the old mayor and Randolph were famous stonemasons. After the town of Hogg was built, Viscount Tehuasu invited Frnes and other aristocratic friends to attend the dance party that opened the town. As a token of his gratitude, Viscount Fnnis asked the old mayor to build a stone statue of Viscount Tehuasu in the center of the town. It took half a year to build this stone statue, so they were familiar with Hogg Town and Randolph. ”

Abra continued: "Earlier you said that you were going to come to Kalka City to sell the gold, iron, and stone, so I asked Randolph about the situation in Hogg Town, and I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly. ”

Snow nodded, there was nothing to wonder about. Kalka City and the Frontier Fortress are relatively close castles between the two countries, and it is not surprising that there is some communication between Thuasu and Fnis. Moreover, the skills of Lao Ske to build stone statues are indeed very high, which can be reflected from the fact that Ropier put them in charge of creating the statues of gods. After all, not everyone is capable of taking over the work of building a god idol.

"How far is Hogg Town from Kalka City?" Snow asked.

"There should be half a day to go." Abra suggested, "Why don't we take a break in the town, light a fire and eat some hot food, and then we can hurry." ”

Snow thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. After a day's journey, the three of them couldn't hold it even if they were beaten with iron. Even if you rush to Kalka City now, you won't be able to get there until midnight. By midnight, the shops and markets in the city were closed, and there were no buyers to be found. It's better to take a break in the town and wait until the early hours of the morning to get to Kalka City just in time for dawn.

Seeing Snow's agreement, Abrath cheered up and drove the cart towards the small town of Hogg.
