Chapter 32: Poisonous Insects
The fame of the entire Lawrence family has grown, and in recent years, even many nobles in the royal capital have begun to pinch their noses and have a certain amount of business exchanges with the hillbillies they call them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Under the operation of gold coins, the first 300 or so residents of the town have doubled, and merchants in the past are not uncommon, and Morrion, who is less than a thousand people, can even accommodate 230,000 floating people at most, which can be seen in such an era of inconvenient transportation.
As a precautionary measure, and for the sake of training young warriors, the Lawrence Training Camp was close to Morion, especially when riding on horseback.
At this time, it seems that it is the end of autumn, and the fur purchase is at its peak. Because the beasts of the Black Forest will make their food fat and strong in order to survive the winter, and their coats will be extremely shiny. And fur is the best at this time, and at this time of year, merchants from all over Canthershire, and even half of the kingdom, gather at Morrion. Although the devil knows why these furs are needed for the winter in those places where the winter is very warm, and all of them belong to the big nobles, do those nobles who are fatter than bears have no clothes to wear in winter?
Well, these are not ordinary civilians can interject and discuss, at most they complain in their hearts, in fact, this kind of business and trade, which has become more and more popular in recent years, is still good for the situation of the whole town of Morion.
Naturally, the local aristocrats ate a lot of their heads, and even threw their bones to their heartfelt dogs, but the townspeople could still smell some meat and leftover soup...... If you don't count the extra disabled middle-aged men, and the growing security problems in the town, everything would be perfect.
But even so, the townspeople here feel that life is much better than before, which is easy to see from the population of the town and the women of the right age who have married in and out over the years.
The town of Morion has changed from a barren area with little arable land to a bustling town in the eyes of the surrounding civilians!
However, this year is very different from the past, it is said that a powerful and evil mage has wandered to Canther County, and all the way to Loren City, at this time, even a fool can judge that the final destination of this mage known as the 'Resentful Worm' must be the Black Forest, because it is not only sparsely populated and the terrain is difficult to evade the pursuit of the kingdom, but also has a lot of spellcasting materials that are indispensable for spellcasters.
In this siege, the 'Resentful Worm' finally managed to escape into the Black Forest after paying a certain price.
On that day, the inhabitants of the closed Morrien could hear the wild laughter of the mages outside the town, and the roar of the knights, for a long time, until they disappeared into the black forest.
Originally, the matter should have ended like this, the pursuit team of the kingdom was now on the way back to the royal capital after some searching, as for the supreme nobleman of Canther County, the Marquis of Bard Knight Cyril, known as the 'Brilliant Sword', after belatedly, he also led the family's elite warriors to turn the outskirts of the Black Forest upside down, and left a week ago.
This is how it should have ended, and it stands to reason that way.
I don't know if he was in a hurry to be chased, or if the mysterious mage of the "Resentful Poisonous Worm" is really as sinister and vicious, extremely vindictive, and even mentally abnormal, as rumored.
Anyway, this mage, known as the "Resentful Poisonous Worm", came with a surprise a few days after the pursuers left, announcing his return!
A caravan that was very famous in the whole of Canthar County, hoping that the stars and the moon were finally waiting for the ban to be lifted, hurriedly came to the town of Morion. As a result, for the first time in their lives, the townspeople saw the power of the mysterious mage!
The scene at that time really made the residents of the town forever unbearable, and a few unlucky people who fell into the evil spell of the resentful poisonous insects wailed in front of the overwhelmed townspeople for a whole day before dying tragically!
It is unforgivable for a commoner to kill a nobleman, okay...... The premise is that the nobles have enough strength to catch the sinners and hang them to show their majesty.
This "poisonous worm" who has committed the unpardonable sin does not seem to be ordinary arrogance. Anyway, since the revenge of the poisonous insects, the town has become noisy again.
It seems that the other party's black hand has no intention of stoping?!
Well, don't think about the support of the royal capital, even the rescuers in Canther County don't seem to be so easy to please. Now, only the local nobles of Loren City have to pinch their noses and carry out the tail sweeping work.
However, the mage with the resentful poisonous insect is not ordinary cunning, it has been almost half a year, and seeing the other party stepping on the tender buds in spring, he never thought but did not want to enter the winter with the dead leaves of autumn.
Now, this year's trading period is completely over, but what about the next year?
No one can guarantee it, and even the townspeople can't help it, and in this case, even the only tavern in the town, "Black Forest Story", has become a dead one, and the daily sales of alcohol are not even as good as they were many years ago.
The owner of the tavern, the old Hatch, whose face was covered by a beard for most of his face, sighed all day long.
When he came down from the battlefield, he had a violent temper, and of course, he also had a certain strength, otherwise he would not be able to suppress some drunken troublemakers, but he was really at a loss for this kind of thing that was obviously beyond his ability.
The Black Forest Story is very small, and even when the business is at its most prosperous, he can't hire a few thugs~~ Well, it's because this whole tavern owner with a big belly is too picky, and he doesn't spend money on hiring doormen.
In his heart, the taxes that should be paid anyway, poor old Hatch gave a lot of money to Lord Lawrence.
Even the usual dots are not missing a point from the town's escort team, something really happened...... Well, if something really happens, it's up to Old Hatch himself.
How could an ordinary person go to trouble the nobility? Not even a dog (soldier) - not everyone is the poisonous insect hiding in the woods.
The drunkards in the tavern know that this is the only tavern in the town, and once it is broken, they really have no place to drink, so they are still a little more restrained on weekdays, after all, Old Hatch's ability to make wine is still well-known around, which is why the tavern can always be stable.
