Act 104 Nasin's Thoughts
For Jiufeng, the Qingyu Hills and Swift Plains are just its marginal areas. But for the Jade Hills and the Swift Plains, Rosalin on the other side of the Wagtail Strait can only be regarded as its fringe area.
The founding of Rosaline dates back to the days of the Long-staple Cotton War in the Swift Plains, when a group of war refugees escaped by boat across the Wagtail Strait and landed on the barren lands east of the Sea of the Dead Moon, where they established settlements and flourished. After the end of the war, some of the first ancestors returned to their homeland and brought information from the other side of the strait back to the Swift Plain, and then there was a simple trade relationship between the two sides of the narrow strait, but due to the scarcity of real estate, this relationship has always been an embellishment on this golden shipping lane.
The second development of Rosalin came from the defeat of the Rosalin family in the Swift Plain, the defeat of the war forced the previous lords of Rosalin to lead the remnants of their defeated army across the Wagtail Strait in order to survive, the aborigines of Rosalin could not resist or did not resist these fallen knights from across the channel, this wait was for centuries, the Rosalin family built a permanent castle, with a meagre production to maintain their dominance in the land.
The Rosalin family's castle is abruptly built on a headland overlooking the somewhat cluttered town on the waterfront below, and the city is surrounded by ramparts and towering watchtowers that have been plagued by the undead for centuries, giving it the appearance of a military fortress.
The convoy came down the avenue to the city gate, and a man poked out of the city wall, and the man, seeing the knights below, hurriedly gestured to the watchtowers on both sides, and the soldiers in the watchtowers pushed the winch, and the gate was raised.
As soon as they entered the city, the tense nerves of the knights of Rosalin were immediately relaxed, and they had already packed their waists to the brim. At this moment, they all turned over and dismounted, greeting their acquaintances and joking with their acquaintances in the outposts on both sides of the city gate fortress.
Kersaf turned his horse's head from the front, passed through his men, and came to Brando and Mr. Liu, who were walking side by side, and glanced at them. He said to Na Xin not far away: "Rosalin is currently under martial law, you know the rules, don't make trouble, the merchant fleet in the Swift Plains has just left, and there should still be an empty room in the Storm Shadow." ”
Nasin hurriedly responded, unlike Brando and Mr. Liu, he didn't dare to offend the lord of Rosalin, these knights represented the majesty of the lord, and it was not something that a smuggler like him could challenge.
Wait for the knights to disperse. The caravan leader, or smuggler leader, had a gloomy face, took a sip, and turned back and hatefully ordered his men to look for those who had fled the night before, and to see if they had escaped back to Rosalin.
Scavengers have their own rules that are easily tolerated by desecration.
Brando, seeing that the half-breed Rozarin was there to give orders and dismiss everyone, came to his side and said to him with some flattery, "My lord." I see that Kersaf guy is uneasy and kind. ”
"Oh?" He pretended not to know.
Mr. Ryu also looked at Nasin, who was in agreement with Branda. At this moment, he didn't interject anymore, just quietly grabbed his reins and sat in the saddle, watching the two negotiate.
"My lord, I'm afraid that Kersaf recognized the identities of Mr. Liu and Miss Huanghuo, and I think he is uneasy and kind." Nashin whispered to Brando.
"Oh, why do you say that?"
"There's something wrong with him on the banks of the Chusanze River. If you want to change the previous guy, when he saw so many black crystals, he probably wanted the lion to open his mouth, but since he asked about the identities of Mr. Liu and Miss Phoenix Fire, he was obviously a little absent-minded. A few of his subordinates quietly approached him to discuss the idea of blacking us out, but he reprimanded him, and a few of my subordinates happened to hear their arguments, and I don't think that guy was so moral. ”
"And." He licked his chapped mouth and continued: "He actually had the heart to remind us just now, if we want to change our life and death in the past, how can it have anything to do with these knights, and if you want me to say that he still wishes we were unlucky sooner." I think the focus of his remarks should be on the latter sentence, as he reminds us that there is still room available in Storm Shadow, and I think this should be said to you and Mr. Liu. ”
"Where is Storm Shadow?"
"It was in an inn in Rosalin."
"You mean he wants us to live there?" Brando looked at the smuggler with some interest, he didn't care what the other party was trying to show him kindness, but he really needed such a man right now.
As for whether the other party is reliable or not, it doesn't matter.
Nashin hurriedly nodded.
He was dark-skinned and had deep wrinkles on his forehead, not like a merchant, but more like a sailor who had been eating by the sea on the Wagtail Strait all year round. And unlike the general outlaw gambler's mentality, his personality is also somewhat like those who beg for a living at sea, and there is no lack of adventure in his calmness.
He has been begging for life on the black road for decades, and although he has saved a lot of money, the deepest desire in his heart is actually to return to Jiufeng.
When Huang Huo and Mr. Liu appeared, he vaguely realized in his heart that this opportunity might have appeared. It's a pity that he didn't find this opportunity along the way, but after Brando woke up, the knights of Rosalin finally sent this entry point to him.
So when Brando asked him to share half of the caravan's profits with those Rosalin knights, although he was a little reluctant in his heart, he was actually more excited.
He knew that such a high-ranking character would definitely disdain to take advantage of a small role like him, and as long as he behaved more deferentially, he would definitely be able to earn that opportunity for himself.
Now this opportunity is almost in front of him.
Brando shook his head, a thumb-length crystal appeared in his hand at some point, and threw it forward: "Nasin, I need you to do something." ”
Nasin hurriedly grabbed the crystal. "Flame Red Crystal!" He gasped and almost let go of his hand and threw the priceless thing to the ground. He hurriedly clenched his palm and carefully covered the thing in the palm of his hand, this is the top-level magic crystal, there is no magic crystal of this level in Rosalen, just this one is enough to be worthy of his half-car black crystal.
However, this magic crystal was a bit hot, as a scavenger, he obviously understood the truth that there is no free lunch in this world, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at the young man in front of him, wanting to see what task the other party was going to assign to him.
But unexpectedly, Brando said: "Don't get me wrong, the crystal is just a compensation for you, what I want you to do is not difficult, you go and help me inquire about a few people, including the little goblin I mentioned to you last night, and two of my pets, a talking white cat or white fox, they are all very peculiar, it should not be so common in this area, if they appear in Rosalin, there should be news." ”
Brando knew that the white mist could change many forms, but her favorite form was the white cat and the white fox form, so she simply described both forms to avoid the other party missing the news.
Na Xin was a little stunned when he heard this, and wondered if this young man was not worried about the threat of Lord Rosalin at all? He didn't know as much about Brando's true strength as Mr. Liu, or he didn't know much about the level of strength above the realm of heaven and man, and Lord Rosarin's captain of the guard was very powerful among them, so even though he had seen the fact that Brando had killed hundreds of monsters with one sword, he still didn't think that this young man was the opponent of the big man in his heart.
After all, the age gap is here, and even if this young man starts training swordsmanship since he was born, the captain of Lord Rosalin's guard will not live to be a dog.
He wanted to remind him, but unfortunately Brando didn't give him this opportunity, he waved his hand, and motioned for the other party to hurry up and do what he told him to do. He was interested in the smuggler's power and connections, and since he could search Rosalin for the men who had escaped last night, he would surely be able to hear from Root and White Mist, if the latter had indeed appeared here.
This task doesn't require much loyalty, and he doesn't care if the person who performs it is reliable or not, he is so generous to throw out a flame red crystal to compensate for the other party's loss, which is actually only part of the meaning, and more of a meaning is to recognize the other party's previous statement, and tell him that he has the ability to provide him with what he wants.
However, Brando obviously underestimated the smuggler's ambitions, and seeing that he didn't care, Na Xin couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, and he didn't hesitate to give up half a cart of black crystals, the purpose was naturally not to make money. Of course, he didn't care what trouble Brando and Mr. Liu would encounter, but he was worried that if the other party couldn't deal with the threat of Lord Rosalin, then his chance to go to Jiufeng would probably be ruined.
However, he also understood that his words would not have any effect here, so he could only nod and step aside. But Mr. Liu suddenly said at this time: "Your name is Na Xin, right, do you want to go back to Jiufeng?" ”
When Na Xin heard this, he couldn't help but shake his body, he didn't just want to go back to Jiufeng, in fact, in the Swift Plains and Qingyu Hills, there was not a single fugitive from Jiufeng who didn't want to return to Jiufeng.
It was a rich and prosperous country, and people who lived outside of Jiufeng couldn't imagine that world at all.
It's just that they can't go back to Jiufeng. In fact, except for the merchants of Jiufeng or nobles like Mr. Liu and Huanghuo, most of the others had to flee from Jiufeng because they were in trouble, unless they were introduced by someone with status, most people like him would not be able to return to Jiufeng in this life.
