Chapter 268: Misfortune
Should I say lucky? The Vicky caravan was well organized, and the border officials along the way knew Cindy herself, which was unimpeded.
It's just that at this time, the world is tight, and the guards at the border gates have risen a few levels, and we, the fresh faces, have encountered some trouble.
"Isn't this the way of the world bad? I asked some mercenaries to help me watch. ”,
The reasons are very convincing, and the two famous mercenary groups are also very convincing, the only thing that is not convincing is that we don't look like mercenaries at all.
has no reputation, no record, and even mercenary registration is only done, like a spy more like a businessman, but because the "glittering little gift" that came with Cindy is so convincing, the border officials snorted and saw nothing.
If the scheduled customs declaration, approval and other procedures for goods are completed in accordance with the rules and regulations, at least two and a half days, but because the goods are precious "new products in the season", accompanied by the border supervisor, a qiē can be simplified, and all the provinces can be saved, and finally they swept their eyes twice and released them directly.
And I didn't know that this was the beginning of misfortune, but as a small trader who followed the face of the big chamber of commerce to "smuggle", I was very happy that I was able to get through the strange, so I naturally took the initiative to thank the "big boss" for his help
"No, no, it's me who should thank you, although you are young and young, but the depth of your knowledge is breathtaking. The recent exchange has made the despicable people even more beneficial, if you can, can you come and work for us at the Vicky Chamber of Commerce? I will introduce you to the president, you can think about it more, even if it is a talent like you. It's hard to start from scratch. It takes decades to build up connections and money. As long as you are willing to join the Vicky Chamber of Commerce, the contemptible guarantees that your future position will not be lower than that of the contemptible people. ”
Cindy. Vicky's words were very sincere, and the journey was unusually calm, and he couldn't understand the small contest between mercenaries, but it was just the unbelievable thinking circuits of the young people in front of him, such as his views on the banking industry, the financing and return of trade routes, which were completely unknown theories, but after thinking about it repeatedly, he felt that it was still very feasible.
As for the extra pay. It's worth it just for the moment, and now, Cindy, who treats the Chamber of Commerce as a family, is poaching people for her boss.
In the face of this sincere uncle, I am a little embarrassed, this acting seems to be overdone again, and in the end, I can only say that I can only make up the rumors of the current caravan, saying that my family background is not bad, and I only have to accumulate experience in the name of my parents, and finally I have to go back and accept the family industry.
Well. All of the above is true, and of course a little misleading. It's just that it doesn't mean to inherit the parents' inheritance, the so-called family industry is just the royal inheritance. "That's a shame, if you change your mind in the future, the Vicky Chamber of Commerce welcomes you."
Looking at the merchant uncle with a face full of regret, he was stunned by my sincere refusal, and finally stuffed me with a letter of introduction that was basically impossible to use, and my guilt that did not exist much was touched.
"It seems that I am very talented in business, so I will make my uncle so pity."
And every time I just got a little bit of pride, the dead cat would jump out and block me as always.
"It's really nonsense, insiders are actually fooled by outsiders, do you know how much salt prices are now, and do you know which is the most profitable business route. Theory and practice are completely different things, the most important thing is that you see how businessmen interact with border officials, and do you know how to learn this low-key method of stuffing money? ”
Well, this is really a cruel reality, and making money with anger? Humble? A merchant's smile? I'm afraid I'll punch him in the face.
"Hmph, dead cat, you seem to know a lot."
"Nonsense, of course I understand, the mage just burns money, how to live if he doesn't know how to do business, after so many years of accumulation, there are a lot of big chambers of commerce under me, and the annual income is enough for me to start dozens of research projects with more than seven rings at the same time."
Qihuan has entered the realm of legendary mages, and generally speaking, even legendary mages can only start one research project, which means that this guy can actually afford to raise dozens of legendary mages, what a local tyrant he is.
I was shocked when I heard this, I didn't expect the local tyrant to be around, this dead cat is actually a rich and beautiful landlord, and after a little calculation, this guy's personal income is not less than that of a medium-sized city.
"Ask the local tyrant to fly with you, ask for sponsorship! Ask for support! Ask for a loan and ask for support! ”
"Okay, Princess Peach"
"Shut up, dead cat! If you mention this stalk again, I'll sell you as a talking civet. ”
Well, as always, after the human-cat gladiatorial fight, I got a new round of victory, hum, do you think you can win the old man by changing into human form, the old man will spit! The hands and feet are relatively long, too! I can also touch and pinch cough cough, the lower limit or anything never matters!
However, the front deck of the young girl touched in the scuffle was really flat, her fingers hurt, and the flight deck was so hard that the old man shed tears of sympathy.
"I'd better get you a little more milk. My hands hurt, and it's not a good thing to be told that I abuse my pets. ”
"Dead change. State! The old lady fought with you! Didn't you let me become an adult! "Dreaming, the dead cat still wants to be taller than the old man!" Be your princess of peace and wax your flight deck on time. ”
Well, the second round of the human-cat war begins.
Ahem, to get back to business, with the careful maintenance of this uncle, the fake identity has also become the real identity, our mixed in line is very smooth, and when we arrive at the first stop in the border city of La Calera, not to mention the dangerous monsters on the road, even the robbers have not seen one.
"Phew, the lords here are old friends with our Vicky Chamber of Commerce. More than 40% of the goods are shipped here. Seemingly. There will be no loss this time. ”
Uncle Cindy smiled happily, he was ready to lose all his money, and it was really unexpected to be able to go so smoothly.
"Although the undead are very infiltrating, they have made the journey safer."
Unlike Heloise's regular magic burning research, the biggest problem with the research of necromancy is the "lack of materials", so in the past, to catch necromancers, it was enough to guard the cemetery and mass graves, and it is said that the paladins are advanced individuals every year. They were all able to receive a sponsorship from the grave keepers along the way, and they all made the cemetery their home.
And from some sources, it was learned that the Bayer Empire actually gave those high-level undead nobles the status and allowed them to collect "materials" freely, which undoubtedly caused a great wave.
And in order to avoid causing public outrage and backlash, the aristocratic cemetery has not moved for the time being, but the car bandits and road rage and monsters who are regarded as wanted criminals are in trouble, and these "obligatory" recruiters and researchers can not listen to the words of refusal, often after a good beating, there are a few more skeletons and zombies under the subordinates of the undead spellcaster.
I couldn't laugh or cry when I heard this rumor. Should it be said that the bad heart did a good deed, at least not to become a robber and lawless person for research materials. They all washed their hands at a rapid pace, or they disappeared, and the surroundings of the main roads were suddenly much quieter.
"Well, it's only temporary. The quality of the material directly determines the quality of the final product, and the bones of civilians are finally a group of goods that fall apart as soon as the wind blows. The corpses of the strong are the superior materials, and in this era of the jungle, the strong often have a corresponding status, and naturally they will not be casually thrown into mass graves after death. ”
"For necromancers, if the commoners' tombs are a side dish, and the nobles' cemeteries are dim sum, then the cemeteries of the royal families of various countries are luxurious feasts, and I don't believe they can bear it."
The two senior necromancers came to the same conclusion, and smiled at each other, all without saying a word.
"It seems that you know a lot about the royal tombs, and you have done it? How many waves have you done? How many times have you been caught? How much is the bounty? ”
"Nonsense, don't think that digging up a few ancestral graves of the Elven Kingdom is a big deal. I'm your master, and I've heard of "The Ten Blind Spots of the Grave Keeper - On the Pleasure of Succeeding in Stealing Vegetables from Under Your Nose" and "How to Distinguish the Identity and Status of Materials from the Noble Crest and Tomb Peripherals", which are required readings for necromancers' internal communication. ’
"Oh oh, that classic was actually written by you, I'm a loyal reader, but why is the 'Big Ten' written more than 90 unfinished?"
"Nonsense, that's the end of how to continue to cheat manuscript fees. Starting from the 'Big 10', it never ends! My goal is to have a little bit of stars! By the end of the day, I'll have as many chapters as stars! ”
"It's not a day that never ends. Hey, I'm still too good at this kind of research (cheeky), so I won't write it if I don't have any content, but you must have heard my practical book "Eighteen Uses of Luoyang Shovel", which is said to sell well. ”
"You wrote the eunuch book that has no text in the middle of it? You still dare to show off, watch the old lady go to fill the pit! ”
"People have to look forward, the old pit is too bad to fill, I would rather keep digging new pits."
"Sure enough, it's a bastard with no shame, forget it, I don't have the face to say anything about you, so be it."
In some ways, Heloise and I are both theoretical, monographs and academic research (fog), and at this time, to ignore the tooth marks and scratches on one side, and the false tail and messy blonde hair that has been broken in half on the other, is really a good mentor and apprentice who is like-minded.
Ahem, back to business again,
While lamenting the unexpected calm along the way, the uncle will wait here for small businessmen from all over the world for at least half a month, and our purpose is Victoria Harbor, so naturally it is time to break up.
But before leaving, the uncle was actually invited to the lord's mansion for a dinner, and considering that he would help the small merchant "Luo Luo" establish a network, he also invited me with kindness, which I originally wanted to refuse.
"It is said that there are big people from the capital of Baier, and it seems that they are also distant relatives of the royal family, if you want to take the trade route of Baier, this is a great opportunity."
It doesn't matter what the trade route is, but if I can get the situation of the royal family and the national capital from the upper nobles of the empire, that's what I hope now.
So, I gladly went to the appointment, but the result
"Damn, why are these guys still chasing!"
"Didn't you go to the lord's mansion for a feast? How did it turn into being hunted down and killed, and it dragged us down! ”
I glanced back, and the aristocratic private soldiers were still chasing after me so closely. 、
"Well, that's a long story, on a clear night in a month, we"
"We're being hunted down, make it clear!"
"Unfortunately, !!!"
Well, this is indeed short enough, but the resentment and deep sorrow contained in it are stirring back and forth between the mountains and forests, and the sentimentality contained in it is enough to move the heavens and the earth, and make people tremble, how miserable and resentful it is.
"I'm really miserable! (To be continued......)
PS: Sure enough, it's still a little better during the day, and there is a change today
