Volume 5 Harvest Season and the Guild Festival Chapter 10 Interlude
On a forest path leading to Emerald Studios, a wagon carrying goods was moving slowly. Suddenly, a squad of officers and soldiers appeared on the road ahead.
"Stop! Questioning. A captain-like man rolled over and dismounted, shouting as he showed his ID.
"We are a convoy of goods from the country of Iwano, and we are merchants who have normal trade with your country, and this is our passport and government documents." As he spoke, the leader of the convoy stepped forward and handed over the papers.
"Now Her Royal Highness the Princess has decreed that all goods shipped from the country of Iwa, no matter what happened before, need to be inspected." The captain still said seriously after reading the document.
"I have government documents here, and your country has also stamped and agreed, and you have no right to ...... at all" Before the leader of the convoy could finish speaking, the captain immediately commanded the soldiers and began to check.
"Your Highness the Princess." In a palace in Emerald Studios, an official is reporting the situation to Princess Ariana, "At present, five cases of prohibited goods from the country of rocks have been seized, totaling more than sixty tons. The goods that were shipped before are still being traced, and there is no statistics yet. But ......"
"But what?" Ariana asked, confused.
"It is rumored that recently, under the pretense of His Highness's investigation, a gang has been killing people everywhere, setting fires, and looting goods, which has caused panic and unpeace here. Moreover, many goods that are normally transported have been damaged, which has also had a very bad impact on the relations between the two countries. ”
"Is there such a thing? Why didn't you report it earlier? ”
"At first, I thought it was just some chickens and dogs, and it would be enough to send a few soldiers to deal with it. Who knew that instead of calming down, things became more frequent and louder. ”
After hearing this, Ariana frowned and was silent for a long time, and said solemnly, "This matter must be dealt with in a focused manner, and more people will be sent to investigate, so as not to make any mistakes." It's best to do it right away. ”
"Yes!" With that, the official hurriedly bowed and retreated.
"Your Royal Highness, dinner is ready." After the officer left, Ariana's maid came in and said.
"Huh? Is it already this time? ”
"You've been working here all afternoon, and I haven't seen you rest since you arrived at Emerald Studios. Please pay more attention to your body. The maid said with concern.
"Got it, I'll go over here." Ariana smiled and said softly to the maid.
"I hope it's just a fortuitous event......" Ariana murmured as the maid left. However, at this time, a sense of foreboding was constantly coming over Ariana's heart.
"Burn all the goods, don't leave them alive, this is the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" At this time, while chanting the fireball spell, Yang Cai, who was directing the soldiers to attack the convoy of Iwanokuni, shouted loudly.
"I'll leave it to you then, let's go to the village to the south." Ji Huo, who was riding on a tall horse, said to Yang Cai.
"Yes, sir. I will definitely try my best to make the night of Emerald Studios as bright as day. Yang Cai smiled wickedly as he cast the flames.
