Unlike the north, which is still covered with snow and ice, spring in the southern Central Plains comes very early, and the temperature rises rapidly within two weeks of the first spring rains, and the continuous spring rain is also a symbol of the new year.

In this spring season, the plants that have hibernate for a winter sprout sprouts, and the hungry animals begin to feed, and a new cycle of the year begins again, all things begin to recover, and new life is born in this golden hour.

Well, literature and art will stop everywhere, to be honest, well, let's start by making money, since spring is coming, business opportunities are also coming.

In this era of cold weapons, the traffic still relies on horses and carriages, the roads are frozen in winter, the traffic is inconvenient, and the freight flow of goods and daily necessities is slow.

Therefore, the spring of each year is the golden time for caravans to make money, and a slight increase in the price is acceptable, coupled with the huge demand, for the merchants who specialize in this business, the amazing profit of this first batch of goods can even account for thirty percent of the annual income.

The kingdom of Rags is rich in silk, green stellar ore, red teng wooden staff, and three-leaf rosemary, of which green yaojing and three-leaf rosemary are spellcasting materials among spellcasters, and red teng wooden staff is a very good staff embryo, which is a large number of imported commodities for the country of mages and the Baier Empire.

When there is a market demand, there are sellers, and the caravan at the beginning of each year will set off on time at the last snowfall, go to a foreign country to exchange special goods for gold coins, and when it is time to return. The gold coins were exchanged for various specialties that were abundant in the Bayer Empire. The harvest is huge.

But it's the same as some other world. Although the profits of border trade are surprisingly large, but the risks are also very large, if you encounter robbers and illegal officials, it is good to keep half of the goods, if the luck is too bad, and even unpredictable factors such as military coups and wars may be hit, it is a loss of money.

But in this day and age, the most dangerous. But he was still favored by a certain "lord", after all, no matter how big the businessman's connections are, he can also reach neighboring countries, as long as he can have a reason to say the past, eating the wealth of foreign merchants, for some big nobles, it is simply a free breakfast.

The practitioners who dare not do business are naturally not ordinary people, and those who dare to engage in border trade are often not easy to mess with, they either have extremely hard backgrounds, or even have involvement with the royal families of various countries, and are not afraid of extortion by ordinary lords at all. Either they have the power to protect themselves, captive mercenary groups or something. After all, the only thing that can protect you when you go out is probably the trustworthy combat power in your hands.

The principal of the Vicky Chamber of Commerce is not the inheritance noble, it is obviously the latter, although their Chamber of Commerce is only a new Chamber of Commerce that has just risen for no more than twenty years, but due to the painstaking management of the previous generations of family owners, they have basically monopolized the route of the Chamber of Commerce from Anliso City of the Baier Empire to Andun City of the Lagus Kingdom, and their private mercenaries will not be worse than the army of the small lord, but this year, the shape shì is a little different.

"It seems that we can only hope that we will not lose money this time."

Cindy. As one of the high-ranking members of the Chamber of Commerce, Vicky is forty-six years old today and has been running this route for almost thirty years, but unlike in the past, the state of the Bayer Empire has been muddy recently, and various rumors have continued.

Businessmen have a natural sensitivity to crises, and they see times of great turmoil within a country. There will naturally be economic problems, and recently, there have been a lot of strange monsters and undead gossip within the Bayer Empire, which has drastically reduced the caravans between the two countries.

The nervous shape that is about to come is shì in his eyes, anxious in his heart, but there is nothing to do, many orders have been placed last year, and some old customers for decades can not be offended at all, this business has to go if you don't go.

In extraordinary times, the president of the Vicky Chamber of Commerce was willing to spend a lot of money to invite two of the top ten mercenary groups in the Rags Kingdom, and also required them to send high-level elite combat forces at the regiment commander level.

As a result, the strong hand came, the "Starfall Sword" Yost of the Solo Eagle Mercenary Group, and the "White Dragon" Carrogir of the Northern Horn Mercenary Group are all very famous strong men, and they also brought their elite subordinates as promised, but I am afraid that the income this time is not enough to pay the mercenary fee.

"Don't really get into trouble, especially not the undead who don't want to die"

If the mercenary does not fight, according to the custom, the commission is enough to pay eight or nine achievements, and he will not pay a high amount of consolation money due to losses, which can somewhat recover the cost.

"Lord Cindy, why are you always sad, the weather is really good today, you can walk more, at least be happy."

In Cindy's eyes, this smiling blonde boy looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but after a little deeper communication, Cindy found that she always felt that she couldn't see through this teenager named Rollo.

He seems to be naïve and foolish, but in fact he is very talented in business, and sometimes the other party casually says that he will think about it for a long time, and in the end he feels very reasonable.

This is all strange members of the silver coin mercenary group took the initiative to come to the door, and when they proposed an ultra-low price of mercenary money, they were still very surprised, and thought that there was some conspiracy, but when they saw the batch of goods they were dragging, they understood, it turned out that they thought a lot, they just planned to take a ride, the so-called door-to-door service was just a cover-up, but the real purpose was to use their huge fleet to make a small fortune.

Originally, this kind of halfway ride was a bit taboo and generally would not be accepted, but when the other party exposed the true meaning of "hitchhiking" than himself, he admitted that he was not, and also offered to pay a considerable amount of "travel expenses" to the Chamber of Commerce.

"This batch of Venro wine must be delivered, and now that the world is not peaceful, we dare to go on the road alone with this little body. We'll pay for it, and if we do get into trouble, multiple people will help us a little more. ”

Of course. Finally, I was able to walk together. Did the private thank you money to Cindy work? I really don't know.

"By the way, Captain Luo Luo, can you talk about the relationship between bank loans and market prices you talked about yesterday, I still have some things that I still don't need to understand yesterday. For example, if I could talk to the bank"

For Cindy, who has been in business for half her life, the harvest in the past few days has been extraordinarily great, and although the person in front of her is young, he is worthy of being a mage who is famous for his wisdom. He has a completely different view from the world about the lending industry and the banking industry, according to him, and his personal views are completely different from those of the world.

At this time, when I saw Cindy talking about business, I regretted why I used to talk about those nonsense financial aphorisms.

"Originally, it was to pretend to be a businessman to join the group. casually said a few words about the economic theories of the previous life, who knew that he would not say it seriously. I was still very interested in asking in the end, I was not interested in economics as a law major, and I knew the principles so clearly, and when I was questioned, I could only talk nonsense. ”

How to make a lie as true is to put one lie in another lie that is easy to see through, and let the "smart people" expose the "falsehood" and find out the "truth" they want.

It was a surprise to be able to meet Cindy's caravan, but it was not easy to sneak into the heavily guarded ones, if we took the initiative to recommend ourselves, most of them would be rejected, and if we showed our strength, it would make the other party wonder if there would be any conspiracy, so we simply bought a batch of wine, made a fake order, and pretended to be a mercenary peddler who planned to save money.

As a result, the headache now is that the disguise is a little too successful, and a few words of hearsay casually are regarded as treasures by the businessman in front of him.

"Shhhh

Well, since I don't know how to answer, let's treat it as a secret I don't want to say, although this answer and lines are not cute at all by me, but the result is that the other party pays more attention to me, from a frontal attack to a side detour, and every day to talk to me, just to try to figure out a little bit for the idea.

Today is the third day of departure, this guy actually met and started to ask again in the morning, and just as I was about to continue to flicker, suddenly, the noise at the back of the team and the sound of blades clashing attracted our attention.

"Again?"

We are a little helpless, there is no first and no second, our peers are enemies, and another side effect of joining the caravan in the name of the adventure group is that the other two mercenary groups in the caravan are hostile and unhappy with us.

"We have already taken over the escort mission, and it was very unhappy for the two big mercenary groups to share the task fee equally, what do you mean by jumping out."

Even if it has been said that it will not compete with them for commissions, but sometimes doing this line is to fight for breath, in the past two days, several mercenary groups have provoked a lot of times, according to the convention, we will lose once and it will be over, but even if I have asked them to play to show the enemy weakness, the result is not a fuel-efficient lamp, face to face promised to commit behind the back, and finally those mercenaries tossed enough time and again, the result is that the two major mercenary groups that have suffered losses continue to hope to regain face, but the result is more and more losses.

And now, it is undoubtedly another dispute caused by an "accident".

Suddenly, a purple starlight shadow appeared in the sky above the camp, and the source of the traction was the place where the voices were boiling.

"Then it should be the epic divine soldier Starfall Sword that Captain Yost has become famous, it is worthy of being a gold-level weapon master, so terrifying and powerful. It seems that the master is serious, huh? It's all come to this point, and Captain Rollo doesn't seem to be worried about his people getting hurt at all? ”

I smiled wryly and shook my head.

"I'm worried, of course I'm worried, but I'm just worried about the Starfall Sword. Let's go, go and see, hope something else will happen, damn it, that idiot actually challenged Xiaohong! Cindy, you have a coffin for the goods you bring, I'll buy a pair, oh no, the coffin is probably not needed, do you have a tombstone? ”――

And when Roland and his party were still on the road, the surprise attack plan of the Bayer Empire encountered unexpected trouble.

Driven by the full power of many obsidian ghost towers, the artificial death plane settlement was indeed successful, and a large number of low-level undead were created, but in that world full of negative energy, even the horizon turned gray and white, and in this monotonous world, there was a piece of green that was unusually eye-catching.

"Haven't figured out what that is? Damn, how can there be a forest there. He even took the initiative to attack the forest of the undead. ”

The Lich Airu originally thought that this was a very simple task, just to control a large number of low-level undead to slaughter unsuspecting humans, but the sudden appearance of the strange forest made his actions far behind expectations, remembering the cruel way the undead emperors dealt with the losers, even if he was unconscious, he still felt a chill down his spine.

"My lord, there are more and more strange plants in that forest, and the forest is starting to spread, and the most incredible"

The black-robed Bloodline Kaka's voice grew smaller and smaller, as if he had a guess, but he was a little uncertain.

"What is it? Say! ”

"It feels like the best-selling board game Zombies vs. Plants, and all the types of plants can be seen in the chess pieces! I'm a veteran player, so I can see it at a glance. ”

"And those plants are special versions of the undead, those pea shooters can actually shoot holy light bombs, those magic vines can actually extract the power of death, and those plant bombs actually have holy water in them, I feel that this forest is simply a natural enemy of the undead."

Aru was stunned for a moment, then furious, and his big mana-shaped ice hand grabbed the hapless Bloodline.

"What? Our army of the undead has become someone else's game? Are we playing monkey show in the eyes of others now? ”

The furious lich remembered the result of not completing the task, and the unbridled catharsis of his magic caused the high-level undead around him to quickly retreat, and only the unlucky man who was frozen and pale desperately tried to save himself.

"My lord, since the opponent's class is common in the game, we can also think of ways to deal with the opponent from the game."

Touching his chin with only bones remaining, Aru the Lich nodded.

"For example?"

The unlucky Bloodclan desperately used their brains to find a few ways.

"For example, burrowing zombies, flying zombies, and bucket zombies, plants can only defend one side, we can let the air force go up, and we can also detour the back road, there are many ways."

"Uh-huh, well, nice! You lead the team. ”

Well, even if you die in battle, it's better than being executed by your boss, and Kaka, who wants to cry without tears, immediately set off with a new army of undead.

But the results are the same.

Flying? Dandelion bombs fluttering in the air are waiting for you. ”

Retreat? The root system of the magic vine and the demon plant has long created a deadly network of soul snatchers,

Putting a protective strapon on the undead? Suddenly, a giant man-eating flower sticking out of the ground devoured a qiē.

A detour? This reality is not a game, the mountains are full of forests, and there is a way out.

The lucky (unlucky) Kaka miraculously survived, and he was probably only half breathed in tatters, but looking at the cyan soul fire burning in Aru's eyes, he suddenly felt that it was better not to come back.

"Hehe, what else are you going to say?"

"My lord, you can't blame us for being incompetent, that guy cheats, those classes are all rare products, and you may not be able to draw one if you want to draw tens of thousands of gold coins repeatedly, he actually has them all, this is simply a gold coin player bullying us civilian players, it's too much!"

"Click!"

With a crisp sound, the veteran game fanatic was frozen into the ice, and the angry Airu glanced at his subordinates, but only saw dodging eyes, and in the end, he could only give an order helplessly.

"The whole army is attacking, so that the Ghost Tower continues to evoke the new undead, and we will fight with him to see who can afford it. The will of the Emperors must be carried out, otherwise you all understand. (To be continued......)
