Since the inhabitants of Braning were led by Baron Perland Colossius, and inspired by the "New Law of Javen Lawrence" he brought with them, all of them took full action.

Before the arrival of Baron Colossius, these inhabitants did not take such a new law seriously at all, and the Purand Wasteland almost faded out of the sight of the nobles of Yafen, and even if they did more, it would not cause any ideas, let alone the recognition of the newly cultivated land by the Count of Yafin, so they would rather be self-sufficient than do a little more in this poor country.

The lack of traffic has almost turned the settlement into a complete deserted ruin, and the distance between Braning and Yafenburg is about 80 miles, and the distance between it is almost all wasteland, and in the horseless settlement of Brainen, there are almost no roads to follow for 60 miles, which undoubtedly makes it rare for the residents to visit Yafenburg all year round. Because of this, they always talked about the same old topics, what the weather, what adventurers came, what happened to the old Earl of Jarfenburg, Arat. Now they had a new theme, a new suzerain, Baron Curosius, a new bill, a new reclamation, a new conscription, and a few more miles of road paved today. Baron Culosius was also busy enough, he let two vassals lead the inhabitants to complete the predetermined work for him, rode the white snow and left Branine for a month, when he returned to Branine again, his face was covered with mud, but he was happy to breathe the air of Branine, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and Zhu Maon first gave a heartfelt admiration for the weather: "It's really autumn! ”

The Barony of Braning in early autumn finally welcomed the third group of guests in 1029 on the fifteenth day after the return of Baron Culosius, and this wave of guests was all too familiar to the inhabitants of Branine, although the number of guests shrank slightly, but the 11 guests in full gear also added a lot of popularity to Brain. Led by a bald one-eyed dragon dressed in splendid costumes, he rode a few dart masters on the steppe horses of Whitetown, wearing a variety of armor, such as fish scale armor, full-body chain mail, leather armor, and they carried iron spears, battle axes, swords, and sabers, and if it weren't for the squads of pack horses pulling unknown goods, this group would have been regarded as robbers who had come out of the settlement of the Karkhand Hills near the Boundary Mountain.

"Cullosius, this guy has made a difference in this place! I really shouldn't have asked him to take a leave of absence from the last time he was in Porto Havalore, but now this guy is together with Count Jafen, disguised as a ranger. I knew this guy was so capable, I should have recommended him to the baron. The bald one-eyed dragon at the head was none other than Arno of the Sharpe Mountain Territory, and he looked at Brayn's current scene and immediately let out a heartfelt admiration.

At the entrance to the fence of the settlement of Brain, the bald one-eyed dragon Arno faced, Baron Curosius of Perland was already waiting for his caravan with two courtiers and conscripted recruits.

"Hey, Colossius, my fellow, at your request to His Excellency Baron Zax, we have come over to check it out while we are on business. But you're not here to rob me with these people. Arno, the one-eyed dragon, spread his hands to Culosius and greeted his former leader with a smile.

"Mr. Arnault, you are welcome. Depending on what you said, if you want to rob you, you should do something like this in a different location. With a smile on his face, Cullosius rode up on Whitesnow, surrounded by captains and strong men, "I'm waiting for the caravan sent by His Excellency Baron Sharp, and I'm about to lose my hair!" ”

"Oh, if that were the case, you'd be as smart as I am." The bald one-eyed dragon Arno laughed and held out his hand on horseback, and the two of them clasped hands tightly, "Man, it looks like I should call you Your Excellency the Baron." I said goodbye to you a month ago, and I haven't had time to congratulate you. ”

"Thank you! Although I have the halo of Baron Perland on my head, I am almost too poor to open a pot now, but although I am a little poor here, I am here to draw a picture of heaven for you. Kurosius smiled and whispered to Arno's ear.

"It seems that the invitation and welcome of His Excellency Baron Perland have also prepared a lot of conditions for us Sharpling." Arno whispered softly to Kulosius, his only remaining eye glinting mysteriously, "Don't beat the bush, man, what do we need to do for you." I'd love to hear anything to be paid off for our Sharpling's smuggling trade, and I know you won't fool your old acquaintances. ”

"It's still my old employer who always gets to the point in real time. There is always a way to do business. "But you're going to give your old fellow a little gold in your bag on this condition." It is undoubtedly a good thing for the Earl of Yafen that I now serve, and for His Excellency Zax, the Revered Baron of Sharp Hills. ”

"Hey, it's not early." Arno sighed. He wanted to know what kind of paradise this old friend was trying to bring them.

"Captain, strong man, please help me settle the caravan dart master and fellows, I have something to discuss with this Mr. Arno. Here, please, my old employer. Culosius turned his head and instructed the two courtiers, who led the caravan's dart master and his men to the settlement of Braning at once, and selected a few houses in good condition to settle the 10 caravan members.

"Now it's just you and me. My fellow, Lord Baron Culosius, I would like to hear how you want to carry out your seductive plan for paradise. Arno and Coulosius walked side by side, and even the mounts under their crotches began to fall in love.

"Okay, I'll just be right with my plan." Kurosius led Arno, the one-eyed dragon, to the stables next to the two-story house where the large hole had been repaired, and they tied up their horses together, chatting as they walked, "The settlement of Buran is building a horse road between Yafen and Shanyan Pass as the first step in the plan. ”

"Hmm. Then I'd be more happy to hear about your second step. As you know, our caravan can go through Snake Bay and go straight along the heath to Shanyan Pass. Don't you think that's a little faster? Why do I have to take a detour to Braning before going to Shanyan Pass? Arno wasn't very interested in the first step of the Culosius plan, "I think that if I or His Excellency the Baron are going to take out the money bag, you have to convince me. ”

"Once we're seated, you'll feel like it's really necessary." Culosius replied confidently to Arno, and he pushed open the door of the second-story house, and the shabby squeak brought Arno's eyes into the shabby furnishings of the house. Culosius didn't mind the cold-looking interior décor.

"Looks like you're here to run a wasteland, and you're going to have to start from scratch. It's not much different from your thatched farmhouse on the outskirts of Parma, but it's not a decent house. Ah, good fellows. I also saw the claw lamps that were only used in the Grinster era. Arno looked at the shabby furnishings in the dilapidated room on the second floor, the flickering flames of the flickering claw lamp, pouted slightly, and sat down on a wooden stool beside a square table with no corners.

"Yes, even if we start from scratch here, we have unique development potential." From the corner of the second-story dilapidated house, Colossius pushed a large wooden barrel, the wooden hoop sleeve carved with shallow marks, "I found this in the cellar of this dilapidated house. ”

"This is," Arnault's blindfold almost fell off with excitement, and he exclaimed with joy, "a surviving wine from the Grinster era?" ”

"Yes, look at the wooden hoop and the shallow marks on the hoop cover. Probably the best thing I've found in this cellar in Braenin. Baron Cullosius laughed, took the spoon, opened the lid of the barrel, filled two glasses, and pushed one of the glasses in front of Arno, and the bald-headed one-eyed dragon seemed to have already snorted and drank the glass.

"Give me another drink, man! Otherwise, I don't want to hear your second step. Arno was content to feel the intense aroma of the old wine, which plunged him into a world full of hops.

"It seems that this wine was a blessing from the goddess Arcana to Branine, specifically to pry open your hand that holds the money bag very tightly." Culosius grabbed the glass pushed by the bald one-eyed dragon and filled it for him again, "The Baron of Braning is at your service. ”

"Okay. Because of this wine, I accept your service for the time being. But I'd like to hear about your second step. This time, Arnault no longer drank the old wine that Grinster had left, but tasted it slowly.

"The second step is that I am going to use Braning as a legal smuggling market, a transit point." Baron Coolosius said word by word, "When we rode past the 'square' of Braenin just now, the bulletin board was pasted with the handwritten letter of His Excellency Count Walker of Affenburg, "Since smuggling is open here, smuggling is obviously legal in Braning in this Affin. This is unimaginable for other regions. Indeed, His Excellency the Earl was determined to stealthily seize Saxon's purse and weaken his financial power in order to curb his growing royal power. ”

"That's very attractive. But that's not enough, after all, we smugglers are looking for maximum profits. It is indeed feasible to make a transit station in Braning, but a lot of goods are time-sensitive, and the popularity here is obviously too poor to allow the goods to circulate quickly, even if we do, we still have to transport some time-sensitive goods to the port of Havalo farther away, and now in Sharp Hill, the Murred Collar also urgently needs to recover its financial resources, rather than leaving our goods in this poor country and selling them slowly, we prefer to transport the goods to the port of Havalo. The bald one-eyed dragon put down his glass, and began to take some interest in Culosius's second-step plan, and his head tilted forward slightly.

"I knew you would say that, Lord Arnault. So, I still have one step ahead of my plan. Culosius's red face was full of smiles, he knew that the bald one-eyed dragon Arno had begun to take a keen interest in his plan, but before the last plan was announced, Arno was only interested for the time being.
