Chapter 660: [Talk]
The caravan carried a total of eight wagons of fur, but in fact the entire convoy consisted of ten wagons, one transporting food along the way, and one transporting tents and other household items.
The distance between the cities is quite long, and everyone's food is strictly controlled until they reach the next city, otherwise they will have to risk hunting monsters if they run out of food on the way, and this adventure is likely to bring unexpected dangers.
The fur merchant took the initiative to ask Yang Yi if he wanted more, which was an obvious gesture of goodwill.
Of course, Yang Yi would not refuse.
"Are you still either?" Yang Yi touched Xiangyi and asked.
"I want to." For food, Xiangyi will never refuse.
"Then give me some more." Yang Yidao.
The furrier himself got up and brought him a larger piece of chilled meat.
"Thanks." Yang Yi smiled.
"No thanks, you deserve it." The fur merchant said, "It's a long way to Wangcheng, and I hope my brother will take care of it." ”
"You paid for it, of course."
"......" such a straightforward remark made the fur merchant choke all of a sudden, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he hesitated for a moment and had to say: "Brother is like a person from the royal city, didn't he bring anything back to this city?" ”
He doesn't look like a soldier or mercenary who eats outside, he looks more like the young master of the princes and nobles of the royal city, this kind of person rarely comes to such a far border city, and it is a bit abnormal to come to the mess and not bring anything back.
"Come and play." Yang Yi joked.
No one can tell whether this statement is true or false.
The fur merchant smiled.
No one really knows what these rich people think, and it is not impossible to suddenly have the interest to bring a woman and a maid to the border city to play. On the way when he came, he heard someone say that some time ago, there was a young master of Wangcheng with five guards, two women and two maids who wanted to enjoy the scenery of the border city, but someone found the corpses of a group of people on the way. Everyone was drained of the power of yin and yang by the demon beast.
It's really not clear what these people think.
However, although the young man in front of him always seems to be smiling on the surface, he always doesn't take things seriously, but as a businessman. He could keenly feel that this young man should still be quite stable. There is an orderly relationship between frivolity, as if everything is in place.
This self-confidence stems from his great strength.
This is the only explanation.
It seems that he should have been more trusted along the way, the fur merchant thought to himself.
He wasn't sure of Yang Yi's identity, but judging from his performance in the past few days, he should not just be a simple and powerful warrior, and perhaps have an unfathomable background.
As a businessman, he sees opportunity.
"Brother also goes to the royal city for fun?" The fur merchant asked casually.
"If you have something to do, you'll leave when you're done." How could Yang Yi not hear the meaning of his words.
"Oh, that's right." The furrier didn't dare to ask too directly, and from his simple answer he was a little puzzled by his guess. Isn't he some kind of high-ranking nobleman?
But whether it is or not, not offending him is the most basic choice.
"When you get to the royal city, if you need any help, just come to me." The fur merchant smiled, reheated the meat he was eating in the volcano, and continued to eat it.
Yang Yi smiled and didn't say anything.
No matter what world you are in, the essence of a businessman is the same, to seek protection as much as possible while making money, so that you can make more money.
A businessman who does not have a backer can easily be at a disadvantage in all kinds of competition, on the contrary, everything is different with a backer. Not only can it minimize the impact of the outside world, but it can also use this relationship to continuously seek its own interests.
The fur merchant apparently looked at him like a nobleman from the royal city and wanted to stammer, but he was clearly mistaken.
What kind of noble man is he, he only came to the dark world this time to meet his future father-in-law. By the way, let's see if it's possible to marry more wives and go back.
Yang Yi didn't break it either.
As Xiaolan said, this is just an ordinary businessman who has money but is not very rich, he wants to succeed and wants to make money. And he also put his own life on this, and no one is qualified to say that he can't do this.
Some of the other fighters, however, were very dissatisfied with his stammering attitude. They all looked at each other coldly, as if they despised this kind of villain.
Most of the warriors are not very fond of merchants.
The warrior is upright. Merchants are cunning, these two kinds of people are two completely different attributes, and because they need each other, they must be together, so it depends on whether they can bear each other.
A few white eyes are a very gentle way to deal with it.
……
After dinner, Yang Yi and the two of them returned to the tent to rest, the other warriors did not dare to rest, although Yang Yi eliminated dozens of demon beasts around, but this is only the beginning of the night, who knows if there will be more demon beasts.
They can take a nap during the day, but at night, it's better to be alert.
They also wanted to remind Yang Yi to be vigilant, but they didn't have the courage to rush in front of him and say this to him, as a warrior, Yang Yi's strength had made them unable to raise their heads, and no one wanted to see his contemptuous smile continue to trample on their dignity.
Sometimes the best way to maintain dignity is to be silent, although this is somewhat inconsistent with the principles of a warrior.
In fact, Yang Yi himself was not as laid-back as they seemed, at least tonight.
Xiangyi and Xiaolan both fell asleep next to him, and he didn't feel sleepy at all with his eyes open.
There are really a lot of demon beasts around here, after killing dozens of monsters, the monsters farther away immediately went to suck the power of yin and yang of those dead demon beasts, there are quite a lot of demon beasts gathered nearby, dozens of demon beasts will soon be sucked dry, and at that time, they will immediately turn their heads and stare at this side, the demon beasts are not stupid, they can catch a few by launching a surprise attack, and the power of yin and yang in the human body is still very good for them.
Yang Yi looked relaxed and unconcerned on the surface, but in fact, he was always paying attention to the changes around him.
Anyway, he received thirty gold coins from others, and it was also appropriate to protect the fur merchant's things, and now that he had a little Lan by his side, this girl had no cultivation at all, and once the danger approached, he was worried that this little girl would be injured.
The best thing to do is to keep the danger at a distance.
Yang Yi quietly left the tent.
The twenty warriors in the caravan did not sleep, and everyone sat around the fire together, weapons in hand, ready to fight at any moment.
They were surprised by Yang Yi's appearance.
I thought that he would ignore these and sleep until dawn, after all, he had already eliminated a wave, and it was natural for them to destroy the rest, but I didn't expect him to come out.
Yang Yi smiled.
"What's wrong? I'm not welcome to fight alongside you? Yang Yi also found a seat and sat down, picked firewood, and made the flames a little stronger.
"If you'd like to join, we'd welcome you." One spoke what looked like he was speaking to a weaker warrior.
"We're all in this together." Yang Yi said: "They all received the boss's money, they are all his hired soldiers, and it is naturally best to fight together, what do you say?" ”
Yang Yi's affinity is once again shown here.
is also with a smile on his face, and this smile now makes people feel that he is particularly easy to touch, not as unreasonable as he felt before.
This sudden smile made a group of people stunned for a moment, and the eyes that looked at him changed a little.
What's going on with this kid? It's unfathomable.
Is it really unfathomable? In fact, it's just that Yang Yi is no longer pretending to be forced, and the real him is still very easy to contact.
"Don't look at me like that, like I can't fight with you." Yang Yi smiled, "Anyway, do you all have to go back to the royal city one by one?" ”
"yes, go back to the royal city and see if there's anything else you can do." Someone said, "I heard that a new city is going to be built in the north, and a large number of soldiers will be needed at the beginning, so I want to go there and find something to do." ”
"You want to go north too?" Most of the people looked at him in amazement.
"You too?"
"I also heard that a new city was planned to be built in the north, so I was in a hurry to return to the royal city."
"Me too, what a coincidence."
"What about you?" Someone asked Yang Yi.
"I have something to do in the royal city." Yang Yi didn't say anything, but was very interested in what they said about building a city, and said, "Brother, I usually don't know much about these things, the north wants to build a city?" Could it be that our empire often builds cities? "The key is to listen to their tone as if they build a city very often.
The others all looked at Yang Yi a little strangely, and from his question, they were even more sure of Yang Yi's idea that he was a young master who didn't care about idle things.
"Mainly because the monsters often invade the city, sometimes it can be repaired, and sometimes the city will choose to abandon the city when the damage is too serious, so that the empire's territory will shrink, and in order to avoid this situation, the empire will choose a suitable place to build a city and start to build a new city." Someone explained.
"When you build a city, you need a large number of warriors to participate in fighting monsters, and most of the time this kind of reward will be very high." Another said.
Yang Yi nodded.
It seems that the territorial battle between demon beasts and humans has never stopped, and humans do not have too many advantages as imagined, and in the face of the all-out invasion of demon beasts, abandoning the city may also happen from time to time.
The uniqueness of the dark world is that all the people are warriors, which also provides great convenience for expanding the territory.
"I see, it seems that I really don't know too much." Yang Yi smiled lightly and stood up, "How about talking later?" ”
"Good!"
Everyone stood up...... (To be continued......)
