Chapter 103: Advance Planning

Count Walker and Coulosius rode their horses, and they hurried over the valley of the Boundary Mountain, and continued to gallop in the direction of Jarfenburg, if the west side of the Boundary Mountain was the last trace of the woods on the eastern edge of the Grasse steppe, then the eastern side of the valley of the Boundary Mountain was a bleak vast wasteland. This wasteland is the Perland Heath in the west of Jaffenburg, and if it weren't for the small community of the people of the Bounded Mountains and the Karkhand Mountains as a supply point for the beginning of the wasteland, it is likely that even smuggling caravans would not dare to enter here.

There are many people who don't want to get out of here for the rest of their lives, that is, those dry bones that appear in the dirt of the wasteland, because they have rashly stepped into the Perland Wasteland, and the Perland Wasteland has given them the reward they deserve, and these people have completely integrated with the wasteland. There is no human population here, let alone cooking smoke, and the sepia land here is only sparse grass and low shrubs. Occasionally, one or two lonely dead trees can be seen in the vast wasteland, and when you approach the wayfinding signs, the trunks of these dead trees have been carved with various symbols to guide the way by unknown adventurers. Some symbols lead the traveler to death, others to the light, and an easy choice will determine the future of the traveler who sets foot in the wasteland. The empty Perland Heath is slightly hideous.

From the Boundary Mountain Valley into Perland's two horses, one in front of the other and one behind the gallop. With the wayfinding experience he gained from following the smuggling of One-Eyed Arnoel and his keen sense of smell, Cullosius easily caught the breath of water from the air, and towards the lonely mountain, Cullotsius took Count Walker all the way to gallop, and Snake Bay came into view of the two.

Snake Bay is like a silver serpent in the Perland Heath, twisting and winding its way to the far north of Mount Kakhand, its regular width like a river dug by hand, like the road to the town of Gudebay. There were many drinking birds by Snake Bay, and when they saw the appearance of two strangers, they were startled and flew into the blue sky. Earl Walker and Coulausius rode to the side of Snake Bay, turned over and dismounted, and held the crystal water in the bay with both hands, like dead wood meeting Ganlin, and under a hearty drink, it seemed that both of them had changed into a different mood, and glowed with vigor. After drinking and replenishing their water, they mounted their mounts and turned one direction towards the south of the Silver Serpent's Captain.

"Lord Walker, your territory here is so barren! Living here can fade out of the mouth of a bird. Cullosius made a joke to Count Walker, and it was clear that both men considered each other their brothers.

"Teacher Lawrence is still right, if Yafen wants to be strong, he must reclaim these wastelands, and if these large wastelands can be used to reclaim these lands and turn them into farms, they will definitely be able to raise a large number of troops." The sound of the wind whirring in his ears forced Earl Walker to speak loudly.

"In my opinion, you wanted to kill that red boar Hunter so much that you forgot to use this wasteland!" Colossius continued to joke to Earl Walker, clapping his hands happily from time to time, and it seemed that his chatterbox could not be closed for a while, "I remember that there was an adventurer who climbed to the top of the White Snow Mountain, I forgot what it was called, and said a particularly classic sentence. ”

"If you want to hurry, you can't reach it. It sounds a little weird. Still, I want to say, you! It's not that I don't want to use the vast wasteland here, it's that no one wants to come here to cultivate it! Since you have this great idea, I will declare this wasteland your domain as soon as we arrive in Yafen. Earl Walker laughed in response to Colossius, his words not at all joking, "I'm going to make you fade a bird out of your mouth completely!" ”

"My glorious, honorable, beloved Grand Commander of Affenburg, Lord Walker, I will be honored as a young commoner to be one of your vassals! A baron is a great nobleman, and I never thought it would be like, though I did! But then again, it's a bit too barren! Culosius's eyes were purring, as if he was thinking about some good way to develop here, but after a moment he began to look embarrassed, he took out a free hand and touched the money bag on the horse's back, and then turned his head to Earl Walker with a sad face, "I can use this as a gold smuggling corridor, and it should provide you with a large amount of taxes every year, and this place will soon be able to develop." It's just that. I guess before I open up such a golden corridor for the first time, I will probably starve to death in the wilderness. ”

"Oh, I think your love sounds a little too sensual, is a vulgar joke in the court of Segal II, and I can't help but start to shiver a little. I can't stand it. I said, what you really love is those merciful little ladies in the monastery! Well, let's get down to business! Tell me what you think, while we're still here, it's kind of 'surveying the terrain'. I'd be happy to provide you with some of the necessary investments, and if I don't get to the point, I'm a pretty big rooster. The money bag is like the face of the old woman's Perland. Earl Walker deliberately amused the sad-faced Cullosius, who understood exactly what Cullousius was referring to.

"yes, we didn't have those guards with us, so we just had nothing to do here to 'survey the terrain'. What a survey of the terrain! I just can't tell you big aristocrats all the high-sounding reasons, and some of them are really fucking good to get into Daddy - first of all, all I have in mind - I will use the special symbols used by the smugglers to guide them to Snake Bay, and then turn the area around Snake Bay into farmland, which is a lot of fertile land in Longze! These smugglers will be able to recharge their water here just like we do, and from here they will be directed to the supply point in Braynin, where I will use it as the center of the corridor's development! As for the second, a small road was opened outside of Braning to connect Yafen to Shanyan Pass, so that they could rest and load and unload goods in Braning and forge some customs clearance documents, so that the smugglers could safely avoid the strict checkpoints in White Town. Thus a circular smuggling channel was formed to Palma, El Helino Forest, Boundary Mountain, Snake Bay, Blanin Village, Mountain Rock Pass, and Port Havalo. Haha, I'll tell you the truth, it's one of my dreams. Only if I have money, I can get a lot of wives and give birth to a lot of sons for me. Culosius's spat splattered, his hands waving excitedly, drawing a blueprint for himself. And you're at odds with Segal II, and smuggling is the best way to make him lose a lot of money! If you lose money, you can't recruit soldiers, and if you can't recruit soldiers, you can't consolidate your royal power. In addition, this is also a two-way cooperation, our caravan can also hook up with the dwarven smugglers of Ironfist Castle through smuggling, and let them also walk this golden corridor together, and they will be very happy to think on their toes, so as to save a lot of trouble from Ironfist Castle to Havalo Harbor, and then from sea to Palma. I heard that Earl Anderson of White Town is also very distressed, if weapons and armor products are imported through legitimate channels, at least fifty percent of the price will be added to him, and weapons and armor products must be used by dwarves. In this way, Earl Henjason will not always be subject to King Segal Saxon, he will hold his land firmly, and how can the king's army easily pass through the town of White? Now that Jaffin's army has been battered, the town of White can at least hold on to Parma's legs and prevent Segal Saxon's bastard from letting his legs and feet go wild. Moreover, Prince Lotat, the master of the Count of Entle, was also killed by you in the knight arena, and there must be a lot of rules in a while. ”

"Looks like I have to support you! The only thing I can't support is that you're going to have a lot of sons, and if all the little dolls walking down the street call you father, it's a terrible situation. And decades from now, when you're dying, your countless children may be the same as Segal and Lotat. When the time comes, you'd rather no one dare go out! Walker laughed out loud, and he came to the conclusion that reliable brothers can always come up with good ideas that are not reliable. But then again. Culosius, how much start-up capital do you need? That's where it matters. ”

Cullousius suddenly stretched out five fingers and waved them at Count Walker.

"Five hundred gold Rinston coins!?" Earl Walker rubbed his eyes with his hand to make sure he was not mistaken, he frowned and yelled at Cullosius in a panic, "Are you the one I was the venture that Lotate did to the red boar?" Oh, and all of a sudden I felt like my money bag was empty! I had no idea that the price would be so high. ”

"Dude, you're too stingy! You have the least money in the earl! You don't seem to understand what I mean, though! I mean, give you a discount, fifty gold coins will be enough to build the road! Good brother, I have other ways to be self-sufficient! Cullosius turned his head and gave his brother Walker a smile.

"But that's a lot less than I estimated!" Earl Walker breathed a long sigh of relief, gently stroked his chest, and a bright smile suddenly bloomed on his face, like a big stone suddenly falling down the cliff and killing countless enemies, and as if luck suddenly fell from the sky, "Fifty gold coins is really cheap!" You're there, Kurosius! Don't fool me! ”
