"Hiss~"

Yang Hao kept scratching his neck, and the rash that was infected last night showed no signs of improvement.

He now felt a tingling in the skin all over his body, especially on his neck, which had grown countless tiny red spots and itched incomparably.

Yang Hao: "..."Oh no, the effect of the disease can't disappear because of killing the monster, you must find a solution immediately, and if it continues to deteriorate, it will definitely get worse and worse."

The idea of joining the caravan in his heart became stronger and stronger, and the caravan probably had medicine to cure Yang Hao.

As for how to convince them, Yang Hao felt that for merchants, gold coins were the best thank you gift.

…

In the caravan camp, everyone was busy in an orderly manner, and at this time, a man in hunting clothes stepped out of a gorgeous tent.

Seemingly ordinary hunting outfits, exquisite workmanship, beautiful and practical, obviously expensive.

"Hood, was it quiet last night?"

The man in the hunting suit said to a middle-aged man who was directing everyone to pull out.

"Mr. Edward, everything was fine last night, we'll leave in half an hour."

Hood respectfully said that although he had served the Truman family for many years and had a high status in the family, he was convinced by the youngest son of the old baron in front of him.

The baronial family located in Craigie City has no fiefdom, and Craigie City, where the power is everywhere, is not ranked.

The family had only two small blacksmiths and a bakery, which produced the most ordinary goods and made little money.

Perhaps this money was enough for dozens of commoner families to live in affluence, but in order to maintain the dignity of the aristocracy, the Truman family had a very difficult financial situation.

And it all ended with Edward, a young man under 20.

As the third son of the old Baron Truman, Edward had no inheritance rights, and he would also suffer a loss when dividing the family property, and in the end, if he could get the bakery, he would already be blessed by the moon god.

His best way out was to become a powerful wizard or join the army, but Edward did not have the talent to become a wizard, and his thin body made joining the army almost a matter of death.

For some reason, Edward gained the trust of the grey dwarves who lived in seclusion in the Black Forest, and was willing to trade with them.

This undoubtedly became the best chance for the Truman family to turn over.

According to Edward, he was lost in the Black Forest and happened to meet a badly injured and dying gray dwarf, and his conscience found that he had saved him with a hemostatic medicine he had with him.

Luckily, this gray dwarf has no revenge (in general, gray dwarves are evil creatures) and is an important figure in the gray dwarf clan.

In return, he escorted him out of the Black Forest and agreed to trade with him.

Edward's account was full of loopholes, and in some places it was ambiguous, apparently concealed.

But the old Baron Truman, who had a strong desire to revitalize the family, deliberately ignored the unreasonable and decided to fight hard, anyway, no matter how bad the family's situation was, it couldn't be much worse.

The elder Truman kept trade a secret, and he had lived in Craigie City for many years, and he knew the urine of the city's nobles very well.

If the news leaks, a good thing will definitely turn into a bad thing.

Old Truman could even guess that they would do this, and at the beginning, it must have been under the guise of cooperation, to find out the truth and gather intelligence, and the family was not qualified to refuse.

When they find out that Edward is the key person, they will definitely try to seize Edward's opportunity, and if they can't do it, they will eventually control the Truman family and seize most of the benefits.

By this time, the Truman family was dead in name.

So the only people who knew about the trade of the gray dwarves were Truman Sr., Edward, and Hood, who had worked hard, and the other two sons of the baron were also blinded.

All they knew was that the family would organize caravans to acquire high-quality ore through the dangerous Black Forest, led by Edward and assisted by Hood.

Each trade takes place in a village attached to a frontier town, and the only people who come into contact with the gray dwarves are Edward and Hood.

So the Truman family made a lot of money every month by exchanging cheap drinks and daily necessities for high-quality weapons, falsely claiming to be the products of their own blacksmith shop.

Edward's status in the eyes of the elder Truman grew, and he gradually began to cultivate him as an heir.

This undoubtedly deeply stimulated Edward's two older brothers, especially since they didn't even know how to lose, and the depression and resentment in their hearts can be imagined.

But their abilities are mediocre, and they dare not disobey old Truman in the slightest, so they can only suppress their hatred in their hearts.

…

Ten large trucks marched in a procession, heavy trucks pressing against the soft ground, leaving deep marks.

Edward rode his hunting horse in the middle of the procession, looking at the mighty caravan, and his heart couldn't help but feel pride.

After 6 rounds of trade, he developed a small caravan of 3 carts (2 wagons and 1 baggage cart) and 20 people into a large caravan of 10 carts (8 wagons and 2 baggage carts) and more than 80 people.

Although it is to take advantage of the monopoly, the effort and hard work spent during the period are unimaginable to others.

Satisfied, he didn't notice that a pair of reddened eyes in the grass were already fixed on him.

The owner of these eyes is none other than our classmate Yang Hao, and the rash is getting worse in the humid air of the Black Forest, which makes Yang Hao, who is secretly investigating, uncomfortable.

After a general observation, Yang Hao found that the box loaded with the goods was too tight, and there was no other abnormality.

Yang Hao felt that the other party should be transporting some secret materials or fragile goods, and it was a serious caravan.

So he quietly retreated, leaving the two little loli for so long, Yang Hao really didn't feel at ease.

….

Baker was a soldier, but was thrown out of the army by design because he offended the bureaucrats in the army.

Now a squad leader in the Truman family caravan, escorting a wagon.

There are 9 squad leaders like him, and there are 7 senior mercenaries under each of them, each responsible for the safety of a large car.

They never knew what was in the van, and they weren't interested in pretending to know.

The Truman family gave a lot of commissions and was punctual, and that was enough, even if it was a corpse, it had nothing to do with them.

Baker was one of the first squad leaders to join the caravan, and this route had been run six times, this was the seventh, and there was no danger during this time, except for a shadow leopard attack.

But he still didn't dare to let his guard down, and the body of the last self-righteous fool was not found.

Every time they come out, someone dies, mostly newcomers.

The dangers of the Black Forest are often in the shadows.

Suddenly, Baker noticed a large bear emerging from the grass on the right, and he immediately raised the alarm, and the whole caravan stopped advancing.
