Chapter 198: Iron Mountain Town

The caravan is in the second half of its journey, and it is getting closer to the city of Berg.

After passing through the Salpo Marshes, the caravan was greeted by a plain, which could not have been better news for the caravan on the road.

There are a number of small towns on the plain that belong to the city of Berg, and the scenery and customs of the towns are slightly different from those on the other side of the Salpo marshes.

The residents of the town are mainly in the leather industry, walking on the town's Chamber of Commerce Street, you can see leather shops everywhere, although they are all monotonous leather shops, but the variety of items sold can be dazzling!

"That's all for our trip today, the four of you can relax in this town, I will deal with the people of the caravan, you don't need to worry!"

Jainko ordered the caravan to stop at the town of Iron Mountain on the plains, and found a place to stay at the town's chamber of commerce, and then after giving some instructions to Han Yuliang and the others, he disappeared into the crowd of the town with his entourage.

After this trip to the Salpo Marsh, the relationship between Han Yuliang and the four of them can be said to have reached a higher level, and there is no longer the previous vigilance between each other.

Being able to mingle often during the caravan's itinerary also left a lot of fun for the second half of the trip.

"Okay, I can finally have a good rest, first I want to go to my room and take a good shower, I don't even have a chance to take a bath in the Salpo marsh, and now I want to vomit when I smell myself!"

Tudu complained, and lowered his head and sniffed his armpits, Ella next to him showed a disgusted expression, and slapped Tudu on the back to make him stop.

"We'll meet here in two hours, and let's go around the town together!"

Ella waved at Han Yuliang and Charlie, and disappeared in front of the door.

Han Yuliang has no opinion on this, he can lie in the room and take a comfortable bath, wash off the sweat and mud all over his body, and then throw away the dirty clothes on his body and replace them with a dry set, there is no better choice for him now.

Two hours later, Han Yuliang and Tudu came to the streets of Iron Mountain Town.

Han Yuliang folded his arms on the back of his head and walked in the middle, he hadn't carefully looked at other towns except Bright Moon City and Kolaston, and he didn't know if it was for this reason, Han Yuliang's mood today was extremely relaxed.

"Hey, hey, hey, look at this, this leather goods are so beautiful!"

Tudu shouted and pointed to a product in the leather goods store next to him, his eyes flashing with golden light.

"Hey, young man, it's your first time coming to us, it's just a small part, if you go to Bergtown, the leather goods there are impeccable in terms of workmanship and style!"

A passer-by next to him shouted when he saw the picture, and actually started talking.

Han Yuliang couldn't help but be vigilant, it could be seen that Tudu was chatting with the stranger more and more happily, and from the conversation, he knew that it was a resident of Tieshan Town.

In the following time, Han Yuliang can be regarded as seeing the boldness and happy conversation of the residents of Tieshan Town, and they can casually chat with a stranger, which also makes Han Yuliang and their sightseeing today much smoother.

"Over there, there's a leather shop that has been inherited for a hundred years, you must go and see it, Uncle Sam's craftsmanship is the best in our town, even if it is placed in Berg City, it is not inferior in the slightest!"

Under the introduction of the residents of Iron Mountain Town, Han Yuliang and the others came to Uncle Sam's leather shop, where they saw what real leather goods were, and the beauty was better than their dwarven craftsmen I don't know how many times.

The owner, Uncle Sam, was old, with gray hair and beard, but he walked like an energetic young man.

"Uncle Sam, is there any kind of leather goods for the bags, and there are still those ......?"

After Tudu came here, he simply turned Uncle Sam's leather shop upside down, but the area of Uncle Sam's leather shop is too large, and the dazzling array of goods in it is dizzying.

With a look of curiosity, Han Yuliang looked at the goods in the leather shop, any one of which was enough to make people exclaim, 'There is still such a thing!', and there are several really interesting and useful items among them, which were bought by Han Yuliang, which can be regarded as updating his equipment.

"What, you guys came through that Salpo swamp!"

Uncle Sam knew that Han Yuliang and the others had crossed the Salpo swamp to the town, and he was speechless for a long time.

"I really didn't expect anyone to be able to walk through that Salpo swamp, don't you know the rumors there, come on, I want to have a good chat with you, how about having lunch in my little shop today?"

Before Uncle Sam could wait for Han Yuliang and them to agree, he beckoned his apprentice Sarax to prepare lunch.

Sarax is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, but his body is exceptionally strong, if it weren't for Uncle Sam telling his real age, Han Yuliang would have thought that Sarax was already twenty years old!

It was noon, and Sarax brought a plate of hot food to the table in the leather shop's room.

The meal on the table is fragrant beef, smooth and tender fresh fish, a large pot of delicious broth, and finally a turkey that makes people drool......

During the trip to the Salpo Marshes, in order to keep the food they carried as much as possible until they left the Salpo Marshes, they were all coarse grains that were easy to carry, and those foods were completely different from this.

Not to mention the Tudu next to him, even Han Yuliang's saliva almost flowed out.

In this way, a hearty lunch began, during which Tudu also told a lot about the Salpo Marshes, and of course some things about the bandits, and Han Yuliang specially reminded him not to mention them.

Just when the food was swept away, the table where several people were sitting suddenly shook, and the tableware on the table was scattered all over the ground!

Charlie asked in a panic: "What's the matter, is it an earthquake!"

"What are you still thinking, this must be an earthquake, let's get out quickly!"

As he spoke, Tudu stood up and pulled Ella to run.

Han Yuliang stood up, but found that Uncle Sam was very calm, he quietly put down the fork and knife in his hand, and then raised his head: "This is not an earthquake, you don't need to panic!"

"It's not an earthquake, that's going to be something!"

Charlie still didn't believe it, but just as he was about to walk out the door, the shaking stopped.

It was only then that Uncle Sam stood up, looked around at Han Yuliang and the others, and said, "You stay in the room and don't come out, it's just a military person, it's not a big deal, but if you come out, you will definitely have all kinds of interrogations, so ......"

"Where's the people in the store, hurry up and get out!"

While Uncle Sam was still talking, there was a hurried sound in the shop, and then a crackling sound could be heard.

"What about the people, the shopkeeper is not here, looking for death!

The voice in the store became more and more urgent, and Han Yuliang could see Uncle Sam who was smiling at all times, and his face was already gloomy.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

It's just that the moment Uncle Sam turned his head, a smile appeared on his face again, and his tone became kind.

"I was doing things in the back just now, and my legs and feet are a little inconvenient when I am old, I hope you can forgive me!"

Uncle Sam's voice came into Han Yuliang's ears from the store, and from the brief conversation between the two, Han Yuliang was basically certain that these troops who came should be forcibly recruiting young people from their families into the army, and secondly, if there were no young people in the family, they would forcibly collect some taxes or goods. His actions and words are very rude.

"How can this be, where is this army, actually doing such a thing!"

Tudu's face was flushed, if it weren't for Ella who kept pulling him, maybe he would have rushed up to fight the soldier by now.

"As far as I know...... There is no need for war in our country right now, let alone any forcible conscription!"

Charlie frowned and fell into deep thought, he still wondered if something had happened during the days in the Salpo Marshes, but after asking Salacs, he found that there was no such thing at all.

At this time, the soldiers who had come to collect also left the shop, and it was not long before the room shook violently again, and it did not stop until a long time later.

Uncle Sam opened the door and came to the back compartment, and when he saw Han Yuliang and a few people standing in front of the door, he quickly put away the gloomy expression on his face and replaced it with a smiling face.

"Uncle Sam, what's going on, tell us about it, there's no place to start a war lately!"

Charlie frowned and asked, if he didn't ask clearly, he might not be able to sleep well at night.

Uncle Sam opened his mouth and closed it again, looking like he wanted to say and stopped, but he didn't say what he wanted to say, as if there was something unspeakable.

Sarax picked up a glass of water and handed it to Uncle Sam. Persuaded: "Master, just tell them, they are going to Berg City next, even if they don't know now, sooner or later they will know!"

"Alas...... I'll tell you!"

Uncle Sam sighed deeply and drank the water in the cup.

It turned out that not long ago, there was some turmoil in Berg City, and the count stationed in Berg City died of illness, and the count had no heirs under his knees, which made other earls with two hearts take action, and after that, Berg City and the towns and villages under its control often faced such a dilemma.

Uncle Sam didn't know much about the deeper things, he was just the owner of a leather shop in Iron Mountain, and the things of those nobles would only be known if they were in that position.

It was getting dark soon, and after saying goodbye to Uncle Sam, Han Yuliang and the others returned to their residence, but they were surprised not to find Jaenko's caravan!

"I also looked over there, and I didn't find any of them, we asked the people from this chamber of commerce, but they were all under the army's interrogation before, and they didn't know where Jaenko and they went!"
