Chapter 324: The Merchant (1)

The caravan made its way north along the narrow ropeway, and as they made their way up the "Despair Barrier", Sotana, as the leader of the caravan, ventured to the front of the procession, not to enjoy the scenery, but to see the walls of the Blackwing Empire earlier.

"How long do we have to get to our destination?" He asked impatiently.

"It's almost over, Mr. Sotana, it's full of beasts and the road is quite difficult, so let us lead the way." The guard behind him said that he didn't need to look at this tone to know that he must have a flattering smile at this moment.

Looking back, Sotana found that this was indeed the case: "When I asked you before, you told me that it was fast, and now it is still fast, did you answer me seriously?" I want to reply specifically! ”

"Uh......"

The guard was dumbfounded, and straightened his face armor: "As long as we get out of the barrier of despair, we will soon be able to reach the Blackwing Empire." ”

"The Barrier of Despair didn't happen overnight, but you haven't even drawn a specific map until now." Sotana was annoyed and said, "What did you do the last time the merchant group sent you?" Is there anything else you've done other than bringing me a bunch of barely usable weapons and armor? ”

Looking at the other party's stiff smile and retreat, his heart finally felt a little smoother, after all, the Northland is still too poor and isolated, even if it has merged into a country with exaggerated territory, it still has not built a magic array for multi-directional teleportation in the city, you must know that in the trade city-state, similar teleportation industry has been quite perfect.

If it weren't for the gadgets he had stumbled upon before, which allowed Sotana to smell the fragrance of profit from it, he really didn't want to make another trip to the north in person.

As one of the principals of the famous Credite merchant group of the trading city-state, Sotana was quite famous in the whole ten cities, and his greatest achievement was to open up a huge new market, and successfully spread his business to the southern empire where the sun never sets.

The rolling mountain road gradually became gentle, and they were stepping out of the mountains and into the Tuhala Desert, and there were many more camp tents on this side of the Despair Mountains, and it was noon, and the wandering adventurers were busy making fires and eating, and the occasional beast on both sides of the mountain forest did not dare to attack, but only glared at the caravan with malicious eyes.

"I beg your pardon, Mr. Sontana."

Miss Nasha, who was traveling with him, lifted the curtain of the carriage and nodded to him, then asked hesitantly, "Why are you willing to travel a long way to visit the Northlands in person, as far as I know, the channel for dumping goods in the Blackwing Empire has been opened, and it seems that you don't need to do it again." ”

"Beautiful young lady, do you remember your cute little deck of cards?"

Sotana replied in a gentle voice, and after seeing Natha's nod, he continued, "The Northland is the birthplace of this kind of card called 'Elegy', and if you like it, why shouldn't I take you to feel the rich atmosphere of the birthplace?" ”

"I see."

Nasha nodded, she knew that this was by no means the real reason for the matter, but since the other party was unwilling to say it explicitly, indicating that the matter might involve some business secrets, she would not continue to ask questions without knowing how to move forward.

The truth is that Sotana smells the smell of wealth from the elegy card, and the merchant can cross the abyss through hell in pursuit of profit, although traveling to a country ruled by evil dragons is indeed full of unknown risks, and Sotana knows that it is impulsive to make this decision, but he still trusts his instincts.

The next follow-up development will have to wait until he really enters the Northland, conducts an on-the-spot investigation of the market feedback after the implementation of the elegy brand, and then makes a judgment based on the actual situation and regional differences.

"Hey, farmland."

Along the trade route, the caravan walked out of the barren desert, and someone shouted: "We have arrived in the hinterland of the Blackwing Empire for a long time. ”

Sotana rode his horse and looked out towards the wind, seeing rows of wheat straw up to his knees moving in the wind, farmers wearing straw hats busy in the fields, as if they were in a green ocean, and the wheat fields stretched north with sparkling canals, and it was difficult to see the end at a glance.

Even after investigating the situation of the Blackwing Empire, Sotana could not contain the surprise that had risen in his heart, until then, no one in Eladea could have imagined that an evil dragon could control a real country without making a mess of it.

"It's a beautiful view, Mr. Sotana." Nasha changed to a wildebeest to walk with him, with a surprised expression on her face: "I didn't expect to see a vast farmland that is not inferior to Jiaxi in this remote place. ”

"Whether it's here or in Garcy, it's nothing compared to the sun never sets."

Sotana hid his surprise and pretended not to be impressed: "There, the wheat field can even connect the two cities, and there is nothing but wheat along the way, which is annoying to watch." ”

"Yes."

Nasha had no choice but to smile awkwardly: "I have never been to the sun never sets. ”

"I'll accompany you whenever you want."

Men always pretend to be strong in front of women, and Sonata is no exception, and after giving Nasha a package ticket, he turned to the guards who had repulsed him before, "Does the caravan stationed in the Northland know that we will arrive today?" ”

"I agreed on a date in my letter to them, and they will meet us at the city gate."

"That's good."

Sotana nodded: 'I don't want to look around in a strange city for a hotel. ”

After nearly half an hour of riding, Sotana finally saw the long-awaited pass, Kaki. Although the territory of the Blackwing Empire has nominally expanded to the point of despair, this is what it really seems.

"Welcome, Mr. Soltana."

Sure enough, the officers of the Credder Merchant Order stationed in the Northland for commercial activities had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw the arrival of this small team, they were greeted very warmly, and after a relatively brief review by the border guard blackshirts, Sotana and his retinue were able to enter Kaki territory.

As soon as he stepped out of the cold, damp pass, the wildebeest beneath him could not help but raise its hooves and let out a neighing sound.

Eladia's trading environment is not safe, running around may not only encounter bandits and homeless, but more terrifying are beasts and strange monsters, in the long run, Sotana has also practiced a calm that is not alarmed, but even if he knew that the Black Wing Empire is a multi-racial mixed country, he did not expect to see so many ferocious beasts just after stepping into this country.

Hideous thorny beasts and ferocious canine demons, two-meter-tall orcs and gray centaurs, tense boars and war lizardmen, walking freely through the wide streets, and occasionally seeing bipedal wyverns and dark curtain manticores in the air, it is truly unimaginable that even with so many terrifying monsters shuttling through it, the city can maintain a high degree of order.

Times have changed, and Kaki is no longer what it used to be, and this border city has its own name - Brimstone Mountain City.
