Chapter 251: The Journey of the Viscount's Second Son (I)

Edie wore a fur coat and sat on a pallet truck full of goods, looking back at the farther and farther Red River City, as the caravan farther and farther, the not-so-tall walls of Red River City gradually blurred in his eyes, and the road under his feet gradually became potholes, and Edie's ass was so bumpy that it was so bumpy.

"My friend, how did you feel about leaving the castle?"

Edie scratched her curly hair in annoyance as she heard the half-concerning, half-teasing voice of her friend behind her, Milne Green.

"Honestly, it's not a good feeling. ”

After speaking, Edie pointed to the herb goods under his buttocks, these herbs that the Green family had hoarded at the beginning of summer had already become as hard as a twig under the roasting of the summer sun, and they also exuded an unpleasant smell of medicine.

"If you imagine yourself sitting on a pile of gold coins, you feel very different. ”

The two of them looked at each other and laughed, these special herbs produced in the summer of the Horn Kingdom can be sold for nearly twice the price of the summer in the winter when everything is lonely, and if these herbs are shipped to the neighboring country - the Pavran Kingdom as Milne did, the price will increase more than tenfold.

This is Milne's way of making money.

"Seriously, Milne, how about coming with me to the overseas islands? With your mind and my strength, sooner or later you will be able to make a career out. ”

Hearing this, Milne hesitated, Edie's proposal was tempting, but going to an unfamiliar environment to work was far less comfortable than Red River City, which the family had run for decades, and, most importantly, the offshore islands were an alien territory.

"Friend, the overseas archipelago is full of ogres and gnolls, and the thought of living in the same city as these monsters makes me ....... ”

Milne shrugged.

"You know, I'm worried that once I fall asleep, I'm going to be a bone in the pot. ”

Milne looked around the caravan, which had spent a lot of money on mercenaries who smelled of alcohol and smell, and when they entered the wilderness, they showed their professionalism, their large calloused hands always around the hilt of their swords, and their sharp eyes always alerted to the dead grass around the waists of the people on both sides of the road.

The wilderness in Nordhill is not peaceful.

The radiation circle around the city civilization is better said, and the people in power of the city organize people to patrol around the city every year to clean up these monsters that seem to emerge from the ground.

Once you are far away from the city, you have to rely on the sword in your hand, or the protection of the goddess of luck, if the sword in your hand is not sharp enough, or is favored by the goddess of doom, then it is very likely to become an indescribable pile of pickled things the next day.

Edie nodded, understanding Milne's thoughts.

"My dear friend, your fears are correct, but according to what my father revealed to me, the overseas archipelago is a land of order, where monsters do not eat people, emmm...... , how to explain it to you. ”

Edie frowned and thought for a moment, then spoke.

"For example, in Kasos, a city where humans and monsters are mixed, not to mention cannibalism, there is not even defecation on the streets, and not only in the aristocratic quarters, but in the entire city. ”

"Impossible!"

Milne was slightly stunned.

"Even Red River City, a human city, can't avoid those drunks and poor people excreting on the streets. ”

If this was said by someone else, Milne would definitely scoff at it, but if it came from the mouth of Edie Campbell, then Milne would have to think about it.

Edie's full name is Edie Campbell, and he is the second son of Viscount Campbell in Red River City, and Viscount Campbell is one of the highest-ranking people in Red River City.

Moreover, Milne knew that he was a friend who had played since he was a child, and that he would not lie in the name of his beloved father.

Seeing that Milne was still hesitating, Edie spoke.

"It's true, and besides, my father's news came from the Duke of Audam, whose family traded with the overseas islands, and heard that they had their own shop in Sokas. ”

Hearing this, Milne's eyes lit up, Duke Uldem is the top nobleman of the Horn Kingdom, if this news comes from him, then it is extremely credible.

"Well, I'll have to think about ....... ”

Edie nodded, after all, Milne is not himself, Edie has an excellent older brother who is destined to inherit his father's title, and Milne was born in a wealthy merchant family in Red River City, although he also has two older brothers, but Milne is also excellent, and he has a chance to inherit the family business if he works hard.

In this way, the second son of the nobles of Red River City, Edie Campbell, embarked on a caravan from a friend to the Kingdom of Pavlan and began his journey to the overseas islands.

A month later, two friends, Edie Campbell and Milne Green, from the Kingdom of Horn, arrived in Victoria Harbour in the Kingdom of Pavlan.

Milne Green could not resist the temptation of making a fortune in a newly opened territory, and after the capital of the Kingdom of Pavlan had disposed of the goods, he sent the steward of the caravan back himself, and he himself took the money with his friends to Victoria Harbour.

They will embark on their own fortunes on ships from Victoria Harbour to the overseas islands.

In the early morning, the sun shines through the white clouds on the old houses of the thousand-year-old city of Victoria Harbour, waking up the sleeping people, most of whom repeat yesterday's experiences, while a few embark on strange journeys.

The nobleman's second son, Edie, walked out of the tavern where he was staying, stretching out in the morning sun, and the two sheathed swords hanging from the belt collided with each other, making a crisp sound of metal clashing.

The damp sea breeze and the scent of the sea poured into Edie's nose, clearing Edie's drowsy brain a little.

The thought of stepping on the ship today made Edie a little sleepless last night.

"Oh, #......&!, this tavernkeeper is a vampire!

Behind Edie, his merchant friend walked out of the tavern scolding, and Edie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the cost of the two of them for the past three days.

The countries of the Nordhill continent use the same standard of currency minting, 1 gold coin, 10 silver coins, and 1000 copper coins.

In Red River City, 5 silver coins are enough to make ordinary civilian families live happily for half a month, but I didn't expect that in Victoria Harbor, they can only live for three days, and it is also established under the condition that neither of them has eaten or drunk.

But it's not his money anyway, Edie reassures with a smile.

"Don't complain, it's nice to find a place to stay. ”

Before coming to Victoria Harbour, the two thought that they were the fastest group of people, but they didn't expect too many people to have the same idea as them.

In Victoria Harbour, the people heading to the overseas islands were so crowded that they could only buy tickets for three days later and had to be slaughtered by the tavern owner.

"It's too expensive, get out! There's a lot of people lining up. ”

Milne remembered the tavernkeeper's demeanor three days ago, and was eager to punch him in the slump nose, and he rolled his eyes when he heard his friend laugh at his comfort.

"Oh, it's not your money anyway, is it?!"

"Hehehehe, yes, I didn't expect me to be so well disguised and still found out by you. ”

Milne looked at the hippie-smiling Edie and suddenly felt like punching.

Forget it, you can't beat it.

Milne glanced at the two long swords at Edie's waist, which had saved his life by cutting off the head of a gnoll seven days earlier.

Because of this, he took the initiative to bear the expenses of these days.

After some frolicking, the two of them bought some breakfast on the street and hurried to the port, where the tavern where they stayed was a little far away, and fortunately a little far from the port, so that they would not find a place to live and sleep on the streets.

The two of them walked briskly through the muddy streets to the famous Victoria Harbour, where they saw a huge new three-masted schooner in the distance.

Seeing the four-dragon ring flag fluttering on the boat, the two knew that their target had been found.

There was already a long queue in front of the boat, and the two men stepped forward quickly, lined up behind the crowd, and when it was their turn, the two handed over two tickets that smelled of ink.

The stout human sailor compared the number on the ticket with the name of the ship written on the ticket, and let the two of them get on board.

Seeing a few big words on the hull, Milne couldn't help but read them out.

"The Seawolf. ”

Through the planks that were placed on the side of the ship, the two men stepped onto the deck of the Seawolf.

Milne suddenly saw the terrifying figure in the captain's hat beside the rudder, and understood why the ship was called the Seawolf.

Because the captain of this ship is a gnoll!

Milne shuddered at the thought of being sprayed with the stinking hot blood.

Edie was also attracted by the tall voice, compared to the two wild gnolls he had killed a few days ago, the jackal in front of him was much more majestic and mighty, the arched back was as wide as if it was carrying a mountain, and the hair on his body stood like a steel needle, but it could not hide the strong muscle outline under the hair, giving people a sense of oppression like a substance.

It had a glittering scimitar pinned to the belt around its waist, but looking at the sharp claws, Edie thought that the gnoll might not need a scimitar against him.

Edie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he killed the two jackals, compared to the one in front of him, he could only be called a jackal man.

But fortunately, Edie was not worried that the captain would attack him, and the gnoll captain was sitting on the side of the ship, bragging with several sailors with wine bottles, and there were aliens and humans among the sailors, and around them, there were several people in different costumes, and Edie judged that these people were passengers like the two of himself.

Due to the distance and the peculiar accent of the Captain Gnoll's language, Edie couldn't hear what they were saying, and he could only hear a few words such as Coomlinge and the Demonized Beast, and he initially judged that the Jackal was telling the story of his own fight with the Demonized Beast.

Edie couldn't help but be curious and walked over to the crowd.

"Edie?!"

"It's okay! Let's take a look, and you can also learn about the overseas islands in advance. ”

Seeing his companion walk over, Milne stubbornly followed.

The addition of the two newcomers did not attract the attention of the onlookers, and the gnoll captain glanced at the two casually and continued to tell his story.

Sure enough, Captain Gnoll recounted the battle experience of following the White Dragon Lord to open up the wasteland of Kumlinge.

Suddenly, the gnoll captain, who had drunk a little, threw the empty wine bottle in his hand backwards and jumped off the side of the ship, startling the people who were fascinated by the listen.

Then, the gnoll captain tore open his pale blue waistcoat, revealing a hairy chest, the heart of the chest, and the abdominal muscles down to the abdomen, with four thick, diagonally downward pink scars.

"Wow!"

The crowd couldn't help but marvel at the terrible scar, and even if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they could imagine how terrible the size of the animal that could cause such a coarse scratch was.

The crowd's astonishment greatly satisfied the vanity of the gnoll captain, who slapped his chest triumphantly.

"See, this is the five-meter-long demonized lion left a memorial for Lao Tzu, and it almost killed Lao Tzu! Hiccup, but fortunately, Lord Gurgaru was present, and he burst the lion's head with a stick, hiccup, but I also gave it a knife. ”

The gnoll captain did not forget to boast of his merits.

A viewer questioned, and Captain Gnoll's already loud voice raised a few points.

"Ahh

"Well, I'll forgive you, after all, it's across the continent, Hiccup, Lord Gulgaru is a rare two-headed ogre! It's Lord Amos's right-hand man, and if you're lucky enough to see it, you'll be impressed by its majestic stature. ”

Listening to the somewhat drunk Jackal-Captain's voice, the admiration that could not be concealed, everyone couldn't help but be curious about the Lord Gurgaru in his mouth, after all, someone who could make a high-ranking warrior of the thirteenth level admire, oh no, it was an ogre, and it must be extraordinary.

At this moment, a fish-man sailor approached.

"Captain, it's time! It's time to sail!"

"What?!so fast!Damn!! The old habit of bragging as soon as I drank has been done again, and I have delayed my business. ”

The gnoll captain hammered his own big, somewhat drowsy head in chagrin.

"I'm a little sick in the head, let the second mate take my place, hiccup. ”

After instructing the Fish-Man Sailor to inform the Second Mate, the Gnoll waved his hand to his audience.

"Guys, you're going to be on the Seawolf for three and a half days, and if you have a chance to drink and talk, I'll have to rest for a while, Hiccup. ”

The gnoll captain, who hadn't finished his fun, walked slightly shaky towards the cabin.

The crowd of onlookers dispersed.

Edie pinched her chin and watched with interest as Captain Gnoll entered the cabin.

"It's kind of interesting, a jackal powerhouse who loves to drink and brag, Milne, it seems that our journey won't be too boring. ”

On the side, Milne also forgot about his fear of monsters and nodded in agreement.
