Chapter 15: To the Territory
Barr was joined by four werewolf youths and a goblin.
The four werewolves seemed to be companions, but they were all somewhat reticent. Trying to talk, the four of them didn't say a word, and Barr stopped being bored. However, the young goblin had a good conversation with Baal, and during the conversation, Baal learned that this young goblin was from the Western Continent, a merchant, and that this was the first time he had come to the East Coast.
Goblins belong to a subordinate race of the Orc Empire, are small in stature, weak in combat, and look very similar to goblins, and people often confuse them with goblins. Goblins are much smarter than goblins, they are quite business-talented, and have a mysterious attachment to money, and five of the top ten merchants in the world are goblin merchants.
"Noam, why did you leave your hometown and come to such a remote place?" Barr asked curiously. Noam is the name of the goblin in front of him, and in Baal's impression, goblin merchants generally gather in economically and economically developed areas, and rarely come to such a remote and backward place on the east coast.
"I failed in my business and lost most of my money, so I wanted to try my luck on the East Coast, where the specialty pink pearls are very popular in the West Continent, and I plan to buy some here and bring them back to sell." Noam said with a sigh.
"Oh, did you buy the pearls?" Barr then asked
Noem had an extremely frustrated expression on his face.
"No, the pink pearls produced in these coastal cities are monopolized by the local aristocracy and cannot be bought at all, so I plan to visit the town and maybe get some luck. I'm being suppressed by business rivals in the Western Continent, this is my last chance, if I still can't get it this time, I can only buy some rare ores, and I can also have a good income if I sell them to the Dwarven Kingdom. ”
Barr was almost certain that Noem would come back in vain this time.
This pink mother-of-pearl oyster is a very rare shellfish that only survives in a few parts of the East Coast and is very demanding in its natural environment.
What's more, under normal circumstances, the pearls produced by this oyster are not pink at all, but ordinary white. Only after the Profession has promoted the subclass: Aquaculture to the Grandmaster level has a small chance of causing the pearls produced by the oyster to mutate to pink.
Pink pearls are a material that can be used to make epic jewelry, and can sell for tens of thousands of gold coins each. In previous lives, many large player forces tried to breed this oyster to make huge profits, but none of them succeeded. In the end, it was a cattle man whose breeding skills had reached the level of a grandmaster, and he accidentally obtained a pink pearl while breeding this oyster, and solved the mystery.
Although he knew the result, everyone met in the water, and Barr couldn't say this kind of thing clearly.
In the evening, the convoy finally arrived in the town of Amos.
"Noam, I'm going to establish my own territory next to Mermaid Bay, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can try to work in my territory, I'm in need of business talents here."
Barr has a good impression of this goblin, he doesn't know much about trade, and he needs a knowledgeable person to help, and goblins are born capitalists and are the best candidates for commercial trade. Before leaving, Baal told the young goblin the location of his territory, but he also knew that there was little hope for this matter, and the stage for a village was still too small after all.
Noam nodded and left, but he didn't seem to be too interested in his appearance, and Baal was not in a hurry, there was always a chance in the future.
It was getting dark, and Barr found an inn to stay in.
......
Early the next morning.
Before Barr reached the entrance of the town, he saw one after another beast carts slowly driving towards the side of the road outside the town, and a middle-aged minotaur was standing on the left side of the road, directing some townspeople to load the potatoes and Lele vegetables placed on the ground on the empty carriages, depending on the situation, they were almost all loaded.
Barr looked at the information displayed on the top of the Minotaur's head: Amos Town Mayor Atemo, this is the main master, checked his information, and could only see Atimo's name, everything else is a question mark.
In the Rand world, the bigger the level gap, the less information can be obtained, and the level is more than 50 levels lower than the other party, basically no information can be obtained.
"Excuse me, who is this little brother?"
Seeing a young man of his clan approaching, Artimo asked
"Hello, Mayor Artemo, I'm the purchaser this time, you can call me Baal." Barr replied with a smile.
"Oh, the little brother is the buyer this time, it's really young, haha. However, please also show the transaction voucher to the little brother, and we can also make the delivery. Hearing that the person in front of him was the trader this time, Artimo instantly became enthusiastic.
Barr took out the yellow sign and handed it over, and when the verification was complete, the transaction was officially opened.
Confirming that it was correct, Artimo was very happy, and everyone was a minotaur, so he and Barr would be brothers and sisters after a while. Of course, Barony's status as a barony played a decisive role, and in a world of great class divisions, it is difficult to see nobles and commoners getting along as equals.
In a short time, the beast cart was loaded, and the freight team of the townspeople of Amos officially departed, accompanied by Viscount Artimo, and after arriving at his destination, Baal had to pay the remaining balance of the payment. In the casual conversation just now, Barr learned that Artimo had the title of Viscount of the Empire, and this viscount of others was genuine, and he had more status than his own parallel baron.
Barr sat with Artimo in a beast cart at the back of the line.
"Brother Barr, I don't know what you're doing with transporting resources to Mermaid Bay, it's a barren land." Artimo smiled and spoke, a sly glint in his eyes.
Barr's heart moved, this Atimo was afraid that he didn't see that he was weak, and he had some crooked thoughts.
"I really didn't expect this kind of talent to come out of the honest and upright Minotaurs." Thinking in his heart, his face was silent.
"Aren't I about to become an adult, so my uncle gave me a piece of territory and wanted me to come out to experience the experience." Barr said proudly.
"Oh..."
Atimo's face remained unchanged, and he muttered in his heart, this is not a young master from a big family, there are not many Minotaurs who can give the territory of the empire as a gift, after all, the Minotaurs are notoriously poor.
"Brother Barr, I don't know who your uncle is?"
Artimo asked cautiously.
Barr's chin was raised, and he looked proud.
"Have you heard of Devitt Thunder's Fury?"
When Artimo heard this, he was shocked, "Yo, this is the patriarch's nephew." A flattering expression instantly appeared on his face.
"Young Master Barr turned out to be the nephew of the patriarch, and he really has no eyes here, and I have admired Lord Devit for a long time."
Well, this Barr brother will become Master Barr all of a sudden.
"Why didn't the patriarch send someone to protect you, young master, it's quite dangerous outside." Artimo asked curiously
Barr looked out of the car, and an unfathomable expression instantly leaked from his face.
"Don't say it, don't say it."
After hearing this, Artimo looked like he suddenly realized, "I've heard that Duke DeWitt has an assassination force under his command before, could it be that everyone is in the shadows?" Despite his thoughts, Artimo still had some doubts in his heart.
......
Two moved his stiff neck, he had been sneaking behind Baal for days.
A few days ago, he received orders from Fox Butler to secretly investigate a young minotaur named Baal. I was going to follow it well, but I didn't expect that the next day Barr went to the land management office, came out and got on the teleportation array, and then disappeared, and it took a lot of effort for No. 2 to find out that Barr had come to Marina City. So he hurriedly chased after him.
I can't imagine that this is really not a peaceful master, running around every day, it can be said that he is non-stop, and he is not tired, but this can make him miserable.
Yesterday, seeing that this kid bought supplies at the trading and purchasing office, No. 2 easily found out the delivery location through the channel, came to the town in advance to wait, and saw Barr and Artimo get into a carriage, and No. 2 sneaked up next to the carriage, wanting to hear what the two were talking about.
Although Artemo's strength is good, Second is more confident in himself, and he still can't see through his stealth.
When he heard that Barr was the Duke's nephew, the second was still a little surprised.
After a while, he heard the young minotaur say something with a playful face, and looked at him, and the second was instantly shocked, "Could it be that I was discovered?" ”
Shocked, the otherwise perfect stealth leaked a flaw.
Artimo in the carriage chuckled in his heart and immediately turned his head to look out of the carriage.
"Not good! This time it was really discovered. Seeing that the situation was not right, Two instantly left with a shadow step.
Originally, Artimo still had some doubts in his heart, but this time it was completely certain, he could follow him for so long without being discovered, and the strength of the person who came could be imagined. Moreover, among the Minotaur clan, there is no other choice than Duke DeWitt.
As for the flaw that the assassin had leaked just now, in Artimoh's opinion, it must have been a warning to himself not to use any crooked brains. Thinking of this, Artimo's heart tightened, but fortunately he didn't do anything out of the ordinary along the way just now.
