262. Do you want to go home?
Hearing Bai Yi mention the Dragon Knights, a playful evil smile suddenly appeared on Wentini's face, as if he had grabbed Bai Yi's handle, and put it in Desgar's ear, whispering something.
"Huh? This kind of thing... No, it's just a misunderstanding..."Desgaard said a little strangely, "Teacher, he's not that kind of person, it should be just some rumors, and those boring nobles like to spread this kind of thing the most." ”
Although he was defending Bai Yi for something, Tisgar's gaze at Bai Yi became a little strange?
"Garr, what are you thinking? Your teacher was almost snatched away! Wentini still had that sly smile and continued to joke, "You've seen that Miss Aya, too, right?" She looks so pretty, and she is accompanied by such a cute little girl... But I've heard that Miss Aya is about the same age as you in the dragon clan, so it's no wonder you teachers like it... Alas! ”
Although she spoke in a small voice, Shiro heard it, so he unceremoniously flicked a miniature ice bomb the size of a chalk head over her head - one of the common tools he used to remind his students to pay attention in class, and Artie knew it best.
"Get down to business..."Bai Yi said angrily, "If you don't say anything else, I won't listen." ”
"Got it!" Wentini stuck out his tongue with an aggrieved expression, and continued: "Your little concubine's dragon knights... Alas! Alas! Wrong, wrong, stop playing... That female friend's dragon knights, the asking price is too high, like a dirt bun who has never seen money... Alas! Why are you still playing me! ”
"When you entered the door, you smashed me with an ice lump, and now you are still using ice bombs to bomb me? I'm going to duel with you! Wentini said angrily, covering her forehead, which had been bounced red by the miniature ice bullet, and hid behind Desgaard.
"Let the horses come." Bai Yi said lightly, and he was still concentrating on helping Xiao Miya tie the ribbon in his hand.
"Hee-hee... How dare I do it with you? A sneer suddenly changed to Wentini's face, "Let's get down to business, the Dragon Knights are asking for too much money, and they don't want to cooperate for a long time, we have made a lot of efforts, and in the end they only promised to escort us once a month." ”
"However, as you know, can a trade route that can only be circulated once a month be considered a trade route? Therefore, the air trade route must not only not be short, but must also be further widened. Wentini concluded.
"Tsk, a large shipment once a month, and then an air trade route every few days? The abacus is playing well, no wonder they still want to make Arti's tribe a cargo distribution center. Bai Yi muttered in a low voice, and tied the purple ribbon on the ponytail for Xiao Miya very neatly, and tied it into two beautiful bows, making the little guy cute again, he put Miya down and pinched her little face.
"Thank you, Mr. Hope!" Miya smiled happily, took a look at herself in the mirror with the silver plate placed aside, and praised: "I hope Mr.'s craftsmanship is better than mine!" In return, I'll wipe your body for you! ”
The little guy said, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the kitchen, and Vidnina on the side also quickly reacted and chased after him, "Mia, I'm with you." ”
Wentini, who witnessed this scene, also became strange in his eyes, and digressed from the previous topic, saying, "You still tie your head?" Where did you learn this? It's better than the girls who pierce it..."
Ha, there is a great sage in the void who does not want to be named, every day in his free time after studying reading and cultivating, he likes to ponder this, not only the technique is exquisite, but also full of tricks, and fully carry forward his academic research spirit, with the cooperation of magic, like what kind of fancy, kitten, bear, rune, tortoiseshell have been developed by her.
It's a pity that it looks so good, and in the end, I can only enjoy it alone... After Bai Yihei said a sentence, taking advantage of the fact that the party had not yet noticed, he hurriedly pulled the topic back, "Then you come this time, in addition to purchasing more supporting magic circles, you also plan to let me convince Arti?" But speaking of which, what is the situation on the steppe now? ”
"Thanks to you, it's a mess!" Wentini chuckled and replied: "Their strongest tribes were killed by you and a few mountain warriors, and the remaining ones were not strong enough to dominate the grassland, and now they have completely fallen into the stage of fighting for themselves, uniting today, annexing tomorrow, and betraying the day after tomorrow, all of them have become a plate of scattered sand, and they can no longer become the climate." ”
"It's the Atie tribe, because of the ban you announced, it has become a shelter on the grassland, life is quite peaceful, and refugees often come to join them, and they are growing stronger day by day. And the weaker tribes have secretly fled there and begun to buy weapons and supplies from us with all kinds of furs, herbs, and ores. Wentini continued, and said with some excitement: "A market connecting three areas has gradually taken shape, and I am here this time to have a good talk with Miss Artie!" ”
Is that so? No wonder this girl is in a hurry to pull other businessmen into the gang... North Continent plus grassland, such a huge market is not at all something that a family can eat, this piece of fat must be shared, and their Dorler family only needs to use the first-mover advantage to eat the fattest part...
"She might really be a businessman, not a female swordmaster." Bai Yi said in the void, "Look at her current face-changing work, she still wanted to strip Artie naked and hang it up and smoke it?" ”
"Hahaha, it seems that my junior is really good, and he has inherited the glorious tradition of our family very well!" The merchant said proudly, "But I hope Your Excellency, if we don't intervene in this kind of good thing to make money, it seems that it can't be justified, right?" ”
"It's worth discussing, let's talk about it later." Bai Yi replied, raising his voice and calling Ati, the kitten maid was busy preparing breakfast for everyone in the kitchen as soon as she got up, and Nota the fairy was on the side to help with the little hands.
Artie sat beside Bai Yi obediently, glanced at Wentini with some weakness, and looked at Bai Yi with some kind of pitiful gaze, and gently shook Bai Yi's arm, as if asking the master Are you going to sell me to her to take revenge?
"That's probably the case..."Bai Yi straightened the cat ear hairpin on Arti's head that was a little crooked because of his busyness, and briefly explained the current situation to her.
After hearing that he was not going to sell himself, Artie was relieved; Hearing that her clan had become peaceful and peaceful because of the existence of trade routes and Bai Yi's ban, and was still growing stronger day by day, this made a smile of relief appear on her face.
It seems that it was a wise decision to come with the owner in the first place! Artie had such a thought in her heart, and smiled sweetly.
After Bai Yi finished speaking, Wendini continued: "This is the case, Miss Artie, or Your Majesty, we need your help..."
Although he said polite words of begging for help, Wentini's tone didn't sound like begging for someone at all, and the stiffness and coldness in her words could be clearly heard, it seemed that Artie had not been able to let go of all the things she had done to her before, but it took a lot of effort to make her words a little softer because of the professionalism of the businessman and the interests of the family, right?
However, Artie didn't care about her attitude, but nodded at her politely, and replied without humility or arrogance: "Miss Wentini, I am no longer the king of the grassland, I am only the master's maid now." You should ask the current patriarch of our clan about these things. ”
Loyalty! After listening to Artie's words, Bai Yi's heart was also warm, it seems that the god of war really gave himself a big gift!
But then again... Ati's tribe is now growing stronger, while the other tribes are being consumed by the war... After such a trade-off, coupled with the establishment of a transit station and the necessary support provided by merchants to maintain stability and security, Arti, the Xiaoyue tribe, really has a bit of a king?
When the time comes, she will be coquettish to herself, and her heart will soften and lend her the sword of the god of war for a while, and she can return to the tribe with the sword of the god of war in hand, and once again reign on the grassland! And it's different from the last time, this time she has a solid backing and a solid foundation, isn't it beautiful for this king to be a king?
Thinking of this, Bai Yi suddenly had a strange illusion, if Artie really went back to be the king, then he had gone around in such a big circle, wouldn't he return to the original point again? And even make Artie's throne more secure? Isn't this another trap under the god of war?
So Bai Yi asked tentatively: "Artie, your clan is getting stronger and stronger now, do you want to go back?" Maybe I can be the king again in the future! ”
Artie's small body suddenly shook, her eyes were firmly fixed on Bai Yi's face armor, her eyes quickly turned red, and her tears were ready to go, and she asked in a whimpering voice, "Master, do you want to drive me away?" After I'm gone, who's going to cook for Mia? Who will clean the house and yard? ”
"Of course I can't bear you." Bai Yi gently pinched her cheek, "But, don't you want to go back to your own home?" ”
"I don't want to! Don't want to! Artie cried out all of a sudden, threw herself into Bai Yi's arms, hugged his waist tightly, and said while crying: "Master, I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay by your side, this is my home..." ”
Seeing Artie's performance like this, Bai Yi was relieved, as long as Artie was always by his side, there would be no problem.
