Chapter 189: A Bunch of Teases
"Oh mom...... Why did the teleportation array back to the imperial capital suddenly hang up......"
In the bumpy carriage, Shanna, who trembled from time to time, was full of helplessness, this is the snowy moon (December), and the teleportation magic array leading to the imperial capital doesn't know what crazy it is, and it actually hangs one after another, so that after they come out of the Antis Mountains, they can only slowly ride the carriage all the way back to the imperial capital.
Come on! Carriage!
Based on their current location, they are more than 10,000 kilometers away from the imperial capital in a straight line, which requires the carriage to walk back...... What kind of international joke are you playing!
Although the carriage they are riding in terms of speed, the speed of the carriage pulled by the demonic beast is about the same as that of the car in the previous life, but this can't stand the distance, if you go at this speed, won't it be the spring of the next year when you return to the imperial capital?
Fortunately, although the vast majority of teleportation arrays cannot be used, they are limited to the territory of the empire, and teleportation arrays outside the empire can still be used.
As a result, Shanna was teleported to a city on the border of the Empire before boarding the convoy.
"Forget it, this is also something that can't be helped......"
The world is so vast that many people have never even left their own town in their entire lives, such a distance...... It may be a real first for her, but for others it may just be ordinary.
Shanna sighed, added magic to the warm lamp in her hand, and sat back in her seat, adding a blanket to the black cat who was sleeping soundly.
When I was in Julian before, the status of it was almost equivalent to the capital of a country, so there was heating almost everywhere I went, and the places without heating were basically baking fires, and I had long forgotten that it was already winter outside.
The Pan-Continent is vast, even with the mighty Kalenkaya Empire. On the whole map, it is only a large empire located in the northern part of Zhongzhou, which is located inland, so the temperature often drops very quickly in winter.
Coupled with the geographical location to the north, it is essentially just a moat of the Antis Mountains separated from the Arctic Ice Field, which is known as the permafrost wasteland, so the average temperature in Karenkaya is actually relatively low.
In this way, when the carriage they were riding in left the territory of the Sanling Clan and went onto the national highway, the sudden drop in temperature almost made people freeze stupid......
In the blink of an eye, looking at Hei Xiaosha, who was also sleeping on the other side, Shanna couldn't help but sigh...... It's good. It is said that he swallowed the dragon egg and needed to fall asleep, but after he left the Antis Mountains, he slept all the way to the present, and the legend has become a real ornament......
"Eh, what the hell is going on, are the big nobles in the imperial capital eating Xiang?! Now the group of students has been allowed to go back. That means that the crisis has been resolved, but since everything has been solved, why is this situation still happening? ”
Complaining is complaining. No amount of complaining can fix all the teleportation arrays instantly. So Shanna struggled for a while and finally chose to lie down and nest next to the black cat.
Recalling the momentary throbbing of that night's bonfire, Shanna couldn't help but smile wryly.
(Obviously, it was not easy to ...... Courageous ...... )
That's right, the night of dancing with the black cat only lasted a few minutes before it came to an end, because the overly excited black cat ended up accidentally stepping on his left foot and spraining his ankle with his right foot, and finally Shanna had to take the innocent girl to find a place for treatment.
Just thinking about it. The corners of the girl's mouth still hooked up a hint of pleasure.
At least...... The feel of the black cat is still very good.
The carriage was dragged by the dragon horse and galloped on the national highway, and the sound of hooves was incessant.
The clouds in the sky were thickening and graying, as if the first snow of the winter could fall at any moment.
The magic of the lamp once again unleashes warmth. enveloped the entire carriage, making people feel a little dazed and sleepy in the bumps.
Just when Shanna didn't know how many times she nodded her head and fell asleep, the whole convoy suddenly stopped moving with the neighing of Ryoma.
The sudden pause woke up many passengers in the carriage and walked out of the carriage to check the situation.
This team is one of the teams under the Bauhinia Firm, which is specially responsible for this kind of long-distance journey, transporting passengers at the same time, and also transporting the firm's own goods, making profits on both sides at the same time.
Although such a convoy is not looked down upon by the aristocracy, it is still very popular among the ordinary rich and noble.
Previously, when I was in the Three Spirit Clan's realm, although the vast majority of the Illian were Lancaster College students, it didn't mean that there were only academy students in the Three Spirit Clan's realm.
In the various parts of the Three Spirit Clan, there are also a large number of travelers from the human realm.
The long-distance bus fleet of the Bauhinia Firm, departing from Julian and leaving the Antis Mountains, will also pass through many cities of the Three Spirit Clan, picking up those who need to return.
After entering the Kalenkaya Empire, the convoy would head south to the imperial capital, dropping off many passengers as it passed through more than a dozen cities along the way.
"What's the situation? Why don't you go? ”
"What happened? Why did it suddenly stop when it was so cold? ”
Many sleepy-eyed passengers complained.
"Did you get into a car accident ahead?"
"No, no, someone blocked the road!"
Finally, a passenger at the front of the convoy reported the real reason for the stall - a large group of people blocked the national highway.
The national highway belongs to the state, and the act of blocking the national highway is illegal in nature, but because this section of the national highway is located on the border and is relatively remote, even if there are officials who want to rush to deal with it, it is definitely not possible to do it for a while.
Shanna hesitated for a moment, looked at the two people who were still sleeping in the carriage, and simply quietly released a wizard's eye and floated into the distance.
In the vision of the Wizard's Eye, two teams of centaurs are facing each other in the middle of the national highway.
One of them is obviously the person in charge of the Bauhinia Comptoir team, while the other side is more chaotic, although most of them are young people, but they can't tell the history just from the clothes, and they are arguing with the person in charge of the team at the moment.
"Who are you, this is the convoy of the Bauhinia Firm. This is the national highway of the Empire! You're challenging the laws of the Empire! Do you want to bear the wrath of the border guards! ”
It's a border, but it's also a national highway.
This is blocked on the national highway in droves...... That is definitely a violation of the laws of the empire, and may even be used as a way to rob the bandits and bandits and bandits who will be exterminated by the border guards.
"Huh, border guards? It's just a bunch of useless guys! ”
A young blonde woman snorted, her tone was quite disdainful, she shook the leather coat on her body and sneered: "What age is it, and you are still guarding the border?" How great do you think you are? Don't you know how to use the magic crystal cannon and the defensive magic array? It's ridiculous! ”
As soon as these words came out, many people in the convoy frowned.
The young woman's words were ridiculously ignorant...... The vast Kalenkaya Empire, with a border stretching for millions of kilometers, has to be defended by all the magic crystal cannons and magic arrays for such a huge distance. Not to mention the Karenkaya Empire, even if it gathers the power of all the human empires on the continent, it may not be possible.
In this case, it is these border guards stationed on the frontier all year round that maintain the tranquility of the imperial frontier year after year, so that the caravans and men who travel between the borders are protected from all kinds of bandits, and they are investigated for spies and spies from other countries. Defending the great territory that belongs to the Empire.
For this group of warriors, the vast majority of them have a little respect.
Arm every inch of the border with magic crystal cannons and magic circles. Let the border guards be laid off...... This kind of thing makes people feel when they hear it. It seems that the young woman in front of her is simply a guy from an ivory tower, and she has not experienced real social cruelty at all.
The leader of the team is a middle-aged man named Yorkson, who is in his fifties and has been running this line for more than ten years.
At this time, Yorkson still maintained a minimum of reason and respect, and did not really conflict with the other party. But in the face of the group of young people in front of him, his tone had gradually become cold and tough.
"Ladies and gentlemen, on the issue of border defense, that is a decision made by the top of the Empire. I have no right to ask, but if you don't make it clear and don't let you go, we will claim for the losses caused by your delay! ”
"Yo yo yo, what a murderer! Think it's great to have a loud voice? Inhumane, immoral guys! The young woman still pouted in disdain, opening and closing her mouth, which made many people in the convoy angry.
Anyone was stopped on the road in the middle of winter, and then shouted arrogantly that there was no humanity and no morality...... It's not going to be a good mood.
"This young lady, you have to speak responsibly." Yorkson's face sank.
"Angelina, what nonsense with these guys, just hand over the things, and then let them get out!"
At the arrogant woman's side, another young man couldn't stop sneering.
"Are you trying to rob?" Yorkson squinted his eyes, and secretly made a gesture, and the guards with the team were all on standby, if the group of young people in front of him really wanted to make a move, the guards of the Bauhinia Firm's were not eating dry food.
The caravans and convoys of the Bauhinia Firm, which have traveled all over the empire and even in many places outside the borders for many years, rely not only on caution, but also on the force that is enough to deter.
According to rumors from the outside world, the core guard team of the Bauhinia Firm, the "Stigmata of the Wind", after its guards are equipped with a full set of magic guide battle armor, their actual combat power is comparable to the peak of the seventh level, and the speed of coming and going like the wind is close to the eighth level, and when they form a battle formation, even the ninth-level powerhouses can also fight head-on.
Fortunately, such an escort team cannot expand indefinitely, not to mention the expensive magic armor, the guards themselves also need to reach at least level six cultivation, which is already the cultivation of outstanding graduates of Lancaster College.
After that, applicants have to go through a lot of screening and training before they can take office, so that the number of Wind Stigmata is always below 100.
Otherwise, Emperor Melanster IV would not have just sat back and watched the Bauhinia Merchant House become bigger.
Although their convoy is not a core convoy, so its guards cannot be the Stigma of the Wind, but the average combat power of their guards is also around the fourth level, and a group of ordinary people want to take down the convoy unless they are more than ten times the number of people.
"Robbery? Are you kidding! Angelina held her chin high and pointed to the back of the convoy, "Leave the twenty wagons behind you, and you're good to go." ”
Yorkson's face quickly darkened to the limit.
The rear of the convoy was in addition to the regular transport of passengers. The fleet of comptoirs will purchase the goods and merchandise carried according to the situation every time.
And this time, when winter came, the temperature dropped, and they chose to transport several canine monsters from the Antis Mountains.
The level of these canine monsters is not high, and they are level 1 when they reach the sky, and most of them are zero-level non-influent monsters, but after all, the monsters are monsters, and their meat texture and taste are far from being comparable to ordinary animals.
At the same time, dog meat itself also has a series of effects such as cold repellent, health nourishment, etc., and is very popular with the nobles of the imperial capital in winter.
So, many years ago. The Bauhinia Merchant House reached an agreement with several cities of the Three Spirit Clan to purchase canine demonic beasts specially raised by the Three Spirit Clan in a semi-free-range manner every year, and then sell them to the imperial capital.
The gang of people in front of them are actually staring at these canine monsters?
And let them leave the goods before they can leave - this is not a robbery?!
"This young lady, please don't be joking. This is the cargo of our caravan. How can it be left to you? If you need this shipment, please contact the headquarters of Bauhinia Firm. They will arrange it for you depending on the situation. ”
Out of the basic qualities of a businessman. Yorkson still kept a shred of his senses.
Shanna saw this qiē through the eyes of a wizard, and at the same time nodded frequently, this Yorkson is definitely a good talent, although he is a little old, but he has the necessary elements to become a good businessman.
Maybe one day, if he comes across an opportunity. It may be soaring into the sky in an instant.
(But then again, how does this scene always feel familiar to me...... It's not going to be that kind of development, is it...... )
As soon as the young woman heard Yorkson's words, she became furious, and the group of people who followed her shouted: "What are you arguing with them! These guys have long since lost their humanity! It's just a monster in human skin! It's going to be fine over there, so let's do it! ”
As soon as I heard someone shouting to do it. The guards of the caravan here even drew their big swords one by one, and their fighting spirit exploded, completely entering a state of battle that was ready to fight.
And Yorkson's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately turned his head to look at the end of the convoy with some discomfort in his heart.
The next moment, at the end of the convoy, a burst of dog barking quickly sounded.
"Damn, there were thieves who sneaked in first, the guards, two-thirds of them stayed to protect the guests, and the rest of the people all came with me!"
This sound is clearly the movement of the canine demonic beasts locked in the transport carriage behind them being released, and those canine demonic beasts have only moved after they have regained contact with the outside world!
Yorkson didn't care about the young man in front of him, turned around and stepped back, and cursed in his heart.
What the hell are these guys trying to do! Don't you know that the release of such a large group of wild canine monsters is likely to cause danger to the lives of so many passengers present?
Are these guys really crazy?!
At the same time, the movement in the rear was getting louder and louder, and it was obvious that more canine demonic beasts were released.
In the continuous barking of dogs, many passengers began to be afraid, but fortunately, the presence of those remaining guards gave them some sense of security.
"Stop!"
While Yorkson was shouting angrily, the young men who were blocking the way also rushed over one after another.
"Why!" A young man sneered, "Don't worry about this old ghost, keep doing it!" ”
At this moment, an unruly Warcraft hyena happened to pounce in this direction and was held in Angelina's arms.
If it weren't for a scene, few people would have thought that this Angelina would actually be a little master.
But what made everyone in the convoy even more unexpected was that the young and beautiful woman actually cried after hugging the hyena.
"Woo woo, little baby, seeing that you are so thin, you must have been abused a lot by this group of scum...... Whining...... Don't be afraid, Mommy is coming, Mommy will protect you...... Don't rush...... Mom prepared a delicious ...... for you."
A group of young people rushed up, many of them did the same behavior as Angelina, the scene was extremely chaotic, and there were even more people with a shake of their hands, and there were several more carriages on the ground, as if they didn't see the people of the Bauhinia Firm, they calmly began to load those canine monsters on their carriages!
"Good baby...... Mommy has come to love you...... Don't worry, this bunch of scum will go to hell when they die! ”
"Baby, don't you have peace...... This group of damn garbage, they will definitely be torn apart by the demons, and even their families don't deserve to live in this world, maybe they will be riddled with bad luck, and they will die one by one, and there will be no soul left......"
"You're so cute, they can still do it to you...... It's simply inhumane, without the slightest sense of morality...... Woo woo, don't worry, I'll teach them a lesson for you! ”
Those guards were probably the first time in their lives that they had seen a group of their own clan holding a large number of canine monsters "Baby, Baby" and shouting and screaming, and for a long time, none of them even remembered to go up and take back the monsters that were goods.
It wasn't until Yorkson was the first to react, and after an order was given, they rushed forward one by one.
However, those young people were obviously prepared, and many of them stood up and rushed towards these guards with a burst of fighting spirit, and there were even a few elemental mages in the distance, muttering words in their mouths, and were preparing to smash them over.
Yorkson couldn't help but roar: "Damn, what the hell are you trying to do!! ”
"We're just saving these dogs!" Angelina had already cried at this time, and she made an "accusation" with tears in her eyes: "You still have no humanity!" Babies are so cute, you still sell them as food, do you know how much pain they will suffer next! Even now, the carriage they stay in has no heating, no velvet carpets, and no elaborate dog food......"
"Dogs are human friends, but you treat them as food! You still have no humanity! I command you all to kneel down and kowtow to these dogs right now! ”
"If you don't, even if you Bauhinia merchants are powerful, we will continue to make trouble until you either apologize to them one day, or one day your souls will all fall into hell! We will refuse the products of a Qiē Bauhinia Firm, and we will make your Bauhinia Firm's reputation ruined!! ”
Shanna in the distance couldn't help but cover her face - meow, how can there be such a funny comparison in another world! (To be continued......)
