Chapter 257: I Can't Afford to Eat
"Let me tell you, don't be envious of you as cannon fodder, the knight's armor and weapons are all inherited, and the production process is complicated, not to mention the inheritance stone, if we want to become a knight, we must start from the beginning, and we have to have a noble bloodline, as for you, hum, black hair, at first glance, there are those barbarians with lowly blood, and it is absolutely impossible to become a knight!" Carol saw Lin Ze's distraction when he walked, thinking that he was still thinking about becoming a knight, and couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Ze has been out of control since he got this idea of matching the rune crystal with the increase in magic continuous runes, and he is using the communication necklace to discuss the relevant runes remotely with the goblin, as for what Carol said, he really didn't listen to it properly.
"Stop!" The knight who was at the forefront on horseback looked up at the surrounding environment, "We will soon arrive at the Axe Mountain, put away all the flags, and the insignia on your body, and not far in front of you is the territory of the Nords." ”
"Hmph, it's not stupid to get home~" The female archer on the carriage hummed dissatisfiedly, but the journey of the carriage was dragged to 3 days by those horseless knights, and it was not in a good mood for anyone.
……
"Be careful, there is no more of our stronghold here, be careful not to show your feet", in the secret room of an independent courtyard, several people dressed as mages sat around the table.
"Have all the people arrived?" A legendary scholar asked.
"Lord Researcher, they're all here, there are a total of eight squads in the warhead, all of them are already in place, and they are divided into these entrances on the periphery."
"There is news that the No. 6 pit has been dug through the ruins wall yesterday, is the news true?"
"Your Excellency, according to the exact information from our warhead intelligence team, the angels have entered the passage of the city wall of the ruins five days ago at the earliest, and the Nords have also dug up the city wall area three days ago, as for those adventurer forces, yesterday it was the sixth entrance, and today the fifteenth entrance has also dug up the city wall, this is the marking map we made", a map marked with numbers was spread on the table.
"Very good, let our two teams enter the city wall area from the sixth and fifteenth entrances, and then send people to continue to keep an eye on those adventurers, the internal passage under the city wall has not collapsed, but there is not much here, it is not our goal, let them measure the location of the city center, dig in that direction, according to some other ancient records in the ministry, the most important building in the ancient city of the Nord people is the ancestral altar, where there is a warehouse and a library for storing weapons and materials, only the ancestral altar is our goal, of course, Beware of sneak attacks by adventurers when digging. ”
"Okay, let's go too, researcher Baoluo, please leave the coordination work outside to you, I will take a set of contact equipment, and contact me in time if there is any situation."
"Okay researcher Ketong, keep in touch, I will be responsible for picking up those scholars and students who will come later."
……
"Hurry up here, hang up a sign written in the lingua franca, and any non-members of the clan who try to break in will be killed!"
"Yes, Lord Snow Fox!"
Dressed in a snow-white fox skin, the Nord looked at the pitch-black passages on both sides, "Hold here, remember to inform your companions immediately if there is any situation!" "The walls of the Dragon City are built around the city, due to the solid structure, the earth and rock did not crush the city walls, the inside of the city walls is a connected structure, for the soldiers on the various sections of the city walls to support each other during the battle, now several major forces have dug into the inside of the city walls, it is inevitable to run into them along the internal passages, naturally it is necessary to design defensive measures, everyone knows that good things must be in the center of the city, and they all want to dig there as soon as possible or take the passages dug by others.
The Nords have their considerations, and now it seems that the Angels of the Templars are the first to discover the ruins and the earliest to do it, but they have insufficient manpower to dig and lack of experience in digging holes, and the early advantage has been caught up, and it is very likely that other means, such as attacking diggers, will hinder the progress of the Nords and adventurers, because the angels are very strong, and the Nords have the most sufficient digging manpower and the most rich excavation experience, and the way to do is to set up layers of defense on both sides of the excavation site to ensure the smooth excavation.
……
"What! You have to charge fifteen gold for a ham slice, why don't you grab it! After three days of trekking, Lin Ze's adventure team came to the small town of River Python Village on the edge of the swamp lake, and it was obvious that although the Nords had removed the ground blockade nearby, there were a large number of Nord warriors in the town to maintain order.
"You don't want to forget it, some people want it, I didn't expect you to look noble, it turned out to be just a good thing, poor eggs, you can't even afford to eat 15 gold ham~" The tavern owner Nord Dahan saw at a glance that the team members were from the Templar, naturally he didn't have a good face, and the Nord people and the Templar could be described as deep as the sea.
"You~" The archer Hui'er's face turned red with anger.
"You don't know how to do business, and it's not like this for money!" Seeing that Hui'er was angry, the second ancestor thought that it was the time for him to appear, so he immediately stood up and asked aggressively.
"What? Defy? This is not your house, I will do this business, you don't buy it, you go out, you go and see how much other things sell, the Templar little white face, just a few people want to come to my tavern to make trouble? All I have to do is shout, and the guards will come and dismember you in minutes, believe it or not? The tavernkeeper exclaimed.
"Forget it! We're not here to make trouble", the priestess Ennie was in her right mind, she had already seen the guards patrolling nearby turn their eyes on her companion in the tavern, it was unwise to cause trouble on someone else's territory, she stopped it, "Let's just get some bread!" ”
"5 silver for black bread and 50 silver for white bread, how many do you want?" The tavern owner also didn't want to be too pushy and cause trouble and affect the business.
"Why is bread so expensive?" The dwarf mage couldn't help but ask.
The Nord people are still relatively friendly to the little dwarf, and the tavern owner patiently explained, "There are too many adventurers who have come to us recently, and it is difficult to supply food and water, so the price is naturally high, and not only our tavern, but everywhere in the river python village, the price of food is the same, this is not my personal price." ”
"Oh, I see, thank you, boss, I want three white breads", the little dwarf took the money out of his money bag.
When the others saw it, although they were still not satisfied, they also took money to buy food.
Lin Zecai wouldn't believe those nonsense that the food supply was insufficient, obviously these Nords knew that they couldn't blockade and prevent adventurers from entering, so they raised the price of all the food supplies around them, and took the opportunity to make a big profit, which could be regarded as making up for the loss of the ruins, and they were really shrewd in their calculations.
