Chapter 76: Tocta's Choice

"Although in our opinion, these guys are indeed thieves, but in the eyes of the local lords, they are more of a villager from a nearby village!"

Tokta's words were full of bitterness: "Mr. Yu, don't you know, in the past, when these people first started to organize caravans to rob passing caravans, it was not that there were no caravans to resist. At the beginning, the guards of a caravan only killed one villager in the conflict, so the men, women and children of the surrounding villages went into battle and directly surrounded the caravan and sued the lord! ”

"Guess what the lord said?"

As soon as he heard Tokta's question, Sui Yu understood that it must have been the caravan that had suffered in the end, and then he replied with a strange expression: "Could it be that the lord still judged that the caravan that defended itself to be at fault?" ”

"Although it was fifty boards each, the lord finally characterized the incident as a conflict between the caravan and the villagers! Yes, villagers! In the eyes of the lord, these people are all villagers under his rule, and they are not a group of thieves at all! And after that, the caravan did not dare to pass by, because as soon as he came, the villagers continued to besiege them, and finally the caravan had to leave the trade route. Of course, thanks to these villagers, the number of caravans heading to Bryce Town has been greatly reduced, so that I can run on this trade route for two years. It's a pity that the leader today is not the usual person, otherwise it wouldn't have come to this point! ”

Tokta said this, and looked at the dazzling blood red around him, which made his face a little pale, and then Tokta continued to say to Sui Yu: "I don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky, these guys seem to have lost their vigilance because of the long-term robbery that went too smoothly, and there was no one to call for people in the chaos just now, otherwise we would be surrounded by a large group of old and young villagers now, you say, facing those villagers who are old and young." Can you still go down to the killer?! ”

"Yes!" Sui Yu's words almost choked Tokta to death, and then Sui Yu continued: "Eliminate the evil, since these people choose to die, then let them really die!" I don't believe it, I'm just defending myself to eliminate the robbers who are blocking the road, and the lord can really issue a wanted warrant for me in order to protect this group of robbers! ”

Maybe it's because in Sui Yu's original world. Because the virtual game is too real in order to save resources (the problem faced by the virtual game technology directly connected to the shaking light is to invest more resources to make the game fake, because the information received by the shaking light will be automatically converted into information that conforms to human cognition, and it is easier to be real, and it is difficult to fake it if you want to do it. However, if you want to fake something, you need to consume too many system resources, so in the development of virtual games, many games are divided into various levels, and the "Chaos World" that Sui Yu played at the beginning was a restricted game that only adults with a firm mind can enter). Because of this, Sui Yu, who was accustomed to blood and killing, seemed a little cold-blooded when facing killing, in his opinion. These villagers who are tricks to die will be killed if they are killed, where is the psychological burden needed?

Of course, perhaps subconsciously, Sui Yu has not been integrated into this other world, so he subconsciously sees most people in the other world as creatures or NPCs who are not of the same race as himself, which makes him say things like killing all the villagers so easily.

However, no matter what Sui Yu's starting point was, his words completely suppressed Tokta, and at this time, Tokta really found out. The person standing in front of him is not a good man and a woman! Although Sui Yu has a kind face, people can't help but let down their guard (the reason why people can't help but let down their guard. I think everyone understands), but its essence is still a strong man who treats human life like a mustard!

At this time, Tokta was a little afraid to say anything more to Sui Yu, the executioner, so as not to get into trouble.

At this time, Sui Yu waved his hand and said to Tokta with an indifferent face: "An! Ann! It's going to be fine! Since we've wiped out all of them, no one will know that we killed them as long as the tail of the hand is clean! ”

Seeing that Sui Yu has begun to arrange for the war queens to clean up the battlefield, a large number of corpses are included in the space ring (Sui Yu is a necromancer, although the corpses of thieves in these villagers' cameos are useless when they are alive and can only harm society, but after they die, they can be transformed into skeletons or zombies and sent to work in Sui Yu's mines.) It's also a good use. As for the resurrection? Sui Yu didn't think about resurrecting this group of greedy guys, and the devil knows if these guys would bite back like white-eyed wolves after they were resurrected! The blood was also quickly absorbed into a large blood ball by the little girl named Wendy using water magic and then put it away, and soon the battle scene was no longer visible except for some messy corpses and bloodstains.

But Tokta still complained to Sui Yu with a bitter face: "If only it were really that simple!" ”

Seeing Sui Yu's bewildered face. Tokta simply explained: "This trade route is not very oily and watery, so the number of caravans running this line is limited, if these villagers report to the lord, the lord only needs to inquire about those caravans that have passed by recently and whether there are corresponding accounts in the village to easily lock our identity!" At most, the lord can't directly trouble us because of the actions of those villagers, but in the future, I want to continue to mix in the Black Territory, especially if I want to run this line again, it is probably impossible! ”

"I really didn't expect that even robbers would have to settle accounts these days!" Sui Yu nodded knowingly, then patted Blake's shoulder comfortingly, and said to him with a sad face: "Then you should leave Blake as soon as you finish this ticket." ”

The expression on Tokta's face when he heard this was so melancholy and melancholy, and sure enough, it was he, the caravan leader, who was unlucky in the end!

"Let's go!" The depressed Tokta ordered to continue moving forward after Sui Yu cleaned up the battlefield, not to leave at this time, in case a villager came to check and found something unusual, he might not be able to leave at that time!

He didn't want to watch Sui Yu and these ruthless people slaughter all the villagers, and at that time, it was estimated that he, a businessman, would not be able to stay in the entire Talaya Kingdom, let alone in the Black Territory!

After getting on the road, Tokta also wanted to open, although this trade route has run smoothly, but recently due to his frequent visits to those villages to buy mountain goods, those villages have joined forces to raise prices has made him earn a lot less, and now he has caught up with such a one, so simply give up this trade route!

I have to admit that Tocta, as the leader of the caravan, is also a figure who can afford to let go. Knowing that this trade route was no longer in use, he simply took out his treasured map and began to study how the next trade should go.

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, Sui Yu did not return to the carriage this time, but rode an old horse (caravans with access can get some old horses to pull the cart or travel, but young horses, especially mares, cannot be obtained because they belong to munitions controlled items) and study with him next to Tokta.

Then Sui Yu pointed out the location of Jim Village and Karan Village with some curiosity and said to Tokta: "Have you been to this area, the living conditions of the villages there don't seem to be very good, and there shouldn't be much currency. But each of them has a lot of mountain goods in their homes to a greater or lesser extent. ”

Sui Yu still remembers that when Philomena asked for food in Karan Village, the villagers took out a large pile of animal skins, animal bones, and various medicinal herbs in exchange, although most of them were worthless to Avalon, but Sui Yu found similar things in the caravan's caravans.

This shows that those things that are useless in Sui Yu's eyes are actually very valuable, so he told what he saw and heard in the two villages, and specially pointed out the locations of Jim Village and Karan Village on the map to show Tokta.

After looking at the location pointed out by Sui Yu, Tokta suddenly said to Sui Yu: "It turns out that it is closer to the location of the Cursed Mountain Range!" There should be a lot more pioneer villages there now! Moreover, many merchants are worried that they will be cursed and lose their money if they get close to the Cursed Mountains, so there are really not many caravans in that direction, and the few villages where I collect mountain goods now are actually relatively close to the Cursed Mountains. But it's not that close. However, as soon as Mr. Jingyu reminded me, I suddenly found that there are indeed a lot of business opportunities in several newly established pioneer villages over there! And the next time I return, I only need to take a slight detour and stick to the Cursed Mountains, and I should be able to pass through several newly established villages, not only can I open up markets, but I should also be able to receive a lot of backlog of mountain goods or other supplies! ”

Tokta pointed to the map as he spoke, quickly delineating a somewhat curvy but eventually leading to the village of Karan.

With a snap of his fingers, Tokta said to Sui Yu with some excitement: "It's really feasible!" Now the villages I work with are constantly raising prices, causing my profits to become less and less, and even to the point that it is almost unsustainable, I have been a little hesitant to wait for the end of this trip to stop and find out if there are other trade routes, but I am worried that rashly changing the route may be more than worth the loss, and I also promised that the next trip will definitely provide goods, so I can not make up my mind. But now it's okay. Since this trade route may be blocked, then I will simply change the trade route and develop it! ”

In Tocta's slightly excited explanation. Sui Yu knew that in fact, Tokta had long wanted to change the trade route.

It turned out that the trade route he was running now was close to the Cursed Mountains, and no caravans were willing to come over in the past.

Two years ago, Tocta led a caravan to the innermost villages of the trade route, bringing with him some goods that were in high demand in the mountain villages, initially through barter. Tokta bought some mountain goods from the villagers that were not valuable in the local area, and thus opened up this trade route that was not popular at the time.

In the past two years, more and more caravans have followed the trade routes opened up by Tocta, although because Tocta's caravan is the largest caravan among all caravans, and the price is also very reasonable, but some small caravans maliciously compete and guide local public opinion through deliberate disinformation. In addition, the villagers, who have taken it for granted that Tokta spends money on mountain goods, have recently joined forces to raise the price together, hoping to get more benefits from Tokta.

Merchants are profit-seeking, which has nothing to do with right or wrong, but is just an objective law of the development of things, so Tocta, after his profits decreased, was finally forced to prepare to find new trade routes.

But the pioneers are the most difficult, and once the market is really opened, you don't have to think about it to know that there will be some flies who like to follow the trend to join in, resulting in everyone not making money in the end. In addition, with Tokta's experience, they couldn't find new business opportunities for a while, so Tokta led their caravan to pinch their nose and admit this time after being notified by the villagers of the price increase, and planned to go to El Na Harbor to discuss the price increase with the next family.

To be honest, although the merchant seeks profit, Tocta also cares about honesty very much, because he has signed an agreement with the next family in the past. It's really not easy to raise prices. Tokta is ready for a small profit this time, even if it wants to increase the price, it can only wait for the next family to sell out this trip and then increase the price next time.

However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and Tokta's trip to the runner with small profits turned out to be unlucky, and on the way, he encountered five highly poisonous flame scorpions at the same time!

At that time, Tokta really regretted it, knowing that he should have made the decision to postpone his departure when he heard that the mercenary world in Bryce Town had suffered a devastating blow that caused the nearby beasts to develop into a beast plague. But at this point, Tocta's nose could only pinch his nose and continue the run.

However, Tokta's runner on this trip is actually doomed to lose money, because the funeral expenses of the guards and the pensions for his family are not a small amount, so Tokta is afraid that he will have to use the old money he has saved so hard!

But the whole team still has to go on, and if this deal is not completed, then Tocta may go bankrupt directly.

Fortunately, at this time, Sui Yu's group of strong men actually agreed to accept the employment at the price of a mere two hundred silver coins, which can be regarded as a great help to Tokta!

When he said this, Tokta thanked Sui Yu again and again with a grateful face, which made Sui Yu look embarrassed - don't forget. The disaster in the mercenary world of Bryce Town was caused by Sui Yu himself, in other words, half of the reason why Tokta was so unlucky was actually cheated by Sui Yu!

Then, Tokta, who thought he had taken advantage, led the team to walk less than a day, but he didn't expect that because of the violent temper of Sui Yu and others, he would kill many villagers in the bandit village at once.

From now on, this trade route is destined to not go, otherwise Tocta's trust. Even if the lord of the Black Territory understands that it is the thief village that is responsible for the loss and will not trouble him with Tokta, the villagers of the thief village will definitely not let him go easily. If he dares to come, there will never be a chance of getting out of this area alive!

Sui Yu is even more embarrassed, it seems that most of the reason why Tokta is now actually cheated by him Sui Yu, and it seems that the pit is quite miserable!

But fortunately, now Sui Yu woke up in his dream and pointed out a clear path to Tokta, even if the profits of this trade route may not be very rich. And it may not be sustainable for long, but at least it has found a decent development opportunity for Tocta's caravan.

"I'd like to see how much I can eat without those little caravans? Prices? Let those villagers have a good experience, forced me away. Are they making or losing! ”

Listening to Tokta's words, Sui Yu shook his head slightly, it seemed that no matter what world he was in, greed was the original sin of human beings. I just don't know who the villagers who expect Tokta to buy mountain goods at a high price like a wronged boss will resent when no one buys mountain goods? Is it Tokta or themselves? Or do you resent these bandit villages that occupy the mountains and collect tolls?

But those things have nothing to do with Sui Yu anymore!

After that, the journey was finally calm, because most of the roads were plains, and the villages and towns became more and more prosperous, and at the same time, the security became better and better, so that Sui Yu and they had no chance to play at all.

So Sui Yu hid in the carriage every day, either chatting with Ai Xue, or using the power of will exercise method 9.0 official version provided by Ruisi alone to practice the power of will.

In any case, in this world where the strong are respected, strength is the root of everything!

Of course, the space in the carriage is large enough, so the battle queens also took turns to stay with Sui Yu to practice during the journey, although they didn't say anything, but for the war queens, being able to sit and practice with Sui Yu at close range was already the greatest grace.

This dull but fulfilling journey has passed in a week, and the port of Erna is about to arrive.

On this day, Sui Yu, as usual, sat in the carriage after finishing his cultivation, drinking fragrant coffee, while enjoying the scenery outside through the car window.

Speaking of which, Sui Yu really didn't prepare coffee for this trip, and although the coffee in this world has a similar name after translation, the taste is very different, anyway, Sui Yu can't stand the taste.

So after the caravan stayed in a small town, and Sui Yu said in his dream that he wanted to drink coffee was heard again by Millie, who had cast a rabbit ear magic, Philomena specially contacted Angelina through Angelina's doppelganger Shadow Demon, and asked the latter to immediately buy a batch of good coffee from the material exchange and send someone to transport it overnight.

So the next day, Sui Yu drank fragrant coffee early in the morning, and when he asked, he learned that in order to transport this batch of coffee, Avalon specially used the long-distance teleportation array to send several battle queens who had mastered the magic of the wind system according to the spatial coordinates provided by Hakoya.

And by the time Sui Yu drank the coffee, the battle queens had already used their flying skills and left.

Of course, those war queens also have the task of going to the Griffin Empire to explore the reality of the magic academy, and coming here is just an extra turn and not delaying anything, Sui Yu really doesn't have anything to say about this, at most he is a little distressed about the chaos gold coins consumed to buy coffee - the gold coins earned by doing tasks before are easily offset by this batch of coffee.

But waste is always a shame, since there is coffee to drink, so Sui Yu enjoys the beautiful scenery along the way every day with coffee, although the life is a little decadent, but also happy.

It's just that this world seems to be full of wonderful, and Sui Yu's decadent life didn't last long, just when he just finished half of the coffee in his cup and was about to continue to discuss the magic basics of this world with Ai Xue (although Sui Yu thought that his intelligence was not as good as that of Rees, and he couldn't study anything by combining the magical knowledge of the two worlds, but he also wanted to have a general understanding of the magic system of this world through Ai Xue), the carriage stopped again.

With a somewhat hurried knock on the door, Millie's excited voice sounded again: "Report to Lord Yu, we have encountered another robbery!" (To be continued.) )
