Chapter 137: Theros
On the picturesque mountain road, one or two carriages slowly drove out of the corner.
"My lord, miss, we will be there at once!" called the groom, who was sitting on the edge of the carriage, inside.
As soon as the groom's words fell, a head popped out of the curtain of the car, looking around in surprise.
"Brother Alan, look!" Millie shouted excitedly, pointing to the birds that were playing in the distance.
Millie was originally a lively character, and she has been stuffed in the territory since Eren left the El Territory, but she has suffocated this cute elf.
Alan also got out of it, and when the groom saw this, he stopped the carriage, and Millie, who was in high spirits, jumped out of the carriage before it could stop, which attracted Allen's momentary education.
"Be careful, what if you stumble!" Alan shouted at Millie, who turned around and grimaced before running away.
Alan shook his head helplessly and didn't care about Millie anymore!
"Alice, you come down slowly, too!" Alan then jumped out of the carriage and said to Alice inside.
"Well, yes, brother!" Alice replied softly, and got out of the carriage, but didn't run around like Millie.
Alice's calm eyes changed her mind and glanced around, and when she found a boulder, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she walked over quietly, wiped it gently, and sat down.
Alan smiled and looked at Millie, who was running happily, and Alice, who was quietly watching Millie running around, turned to the groom and asked, "Kurlo, how long will it take to get to Harbor City!"
After Kulo, who was about to tie the horse to the tree, heard Allen's question, Reincarnation thought about it and replied with a smile: "My lord, take a break this time, according to the usual time, you should be able to reach Kegang City in the evening!"
"It's not far off!" Alan said in surprise, because the last time he went to Kegang City, he was marching, and the road he walked was relatively hidden, and he was marching in the woods, so Alan was not very clear about the situation on this road.
"Yes!" said Kuro, and seeing that Alan didn't ask any more questions, he turned to pack his horses.
Just as Alan was about to walk to the carriage and take the food, a voice actually came.
"Help!" A loud cry for help startled the birds in the forest flew out, and for a time the sound of all kinds of birds fluttering came out.
"Millie, Alice, get in the carriage!" Alan shouted at Millie and Alice, staring in the direction from which the cry for help was coming from.
"Kuro, go to the carriage and get my weapon!" Ellen shouted to Kurlo.
"Yes!" said Kuro quickly, walking briskly over to the carriage and pulling out his weapons and a bow.
Stretched out his hand to take the bow handed over by Kurlo, Alan had participated in the bow and arrow club in his previous life, and he was the kind of primitive bow and arrow, a real master, and he rarely used a modern bow such as a compound bow.
Soon, Millie and Alice got into the carriage, "(Alan) brother, you have to be careful!" the two girls told Alan worriedly.
"Yes, I'll be careful. Alan nodded, then smiled, "I don't know what the situation is!"
Although Kulo was a servant, he was a man, and Alan handed his knight's sword to Kulo, and the two stood guard in front of the carriage, staring closely in the direction of the cries for help.
After a few breaths, a figure came running from the other side of the woods, and when the man saw the carriage and Alan and Kuro beside him, his face was visibly happy, and he quickened his pace.
"Help me!" the man shouted to Allen, "There's a bear chasing me from behind!"
"Bear!" Alan frowned, his heart sank slightly, this guy has rough skin and thick flesh, it is not easy to deal with, why is he so unlucky!
You know, this world is still relatively primitive, and although human footprints occupy a lot of plains, it is clear that these forests and mountains are still the territory of wild animals.
It was too late, it was too soon, and as soon as the man's voice appeared in Allen's eyes, a roar came from behind him, and in an instant, a black bear emerged from behind the man.
The man was frightened and nervous, and his life was threatened, but he even exerted his potential, and ran towards Alan at an accelerated speed again.
As the so-called roof leak happened to rain overnight, the man ran too fast and didn't see clearly, and tripped over a stone on the ground.
"Roar!" the man looked behind him with a shudder, and the black bear was already less than three meters away from him.
"Gollum!" the man swallowed in fear, his body trembled, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up.
When the black bear saw that the prey he was chasing had stopped, he roared excitedly and pounced on the man.
Theros, a merchant, was a down-and-out merchant, but his family was still very grand, but that was a long time ago.
Theros' ancestors were once merchants and at one point became the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Kingdom of Nishizawa.
Because of this, his family began a glorious era, and even had its own surname, Sharp, which represented shrewdness, which was a surname given by the king at that time.
At that time, it can be said that the businessman was at the pinnacle.
However, this kind of wealth is only temporary, and the younger generations are not angry, and when it reaches Theros' generation, the Sharp family has completely declined.
However, there is some background, for example, Theros at this time is actually a baron, but he has no territory, but he is also a nobleman.
However, because of generations of business, it is difficult for the Sharp family to integrate into the entire aristocratic circle.
Because most of the nobles looked down on the merchants, even if he could bring wealth, it was only the exploitation of the nobles, and it was not enough to attract attention.
In order to integrate into the circle of aristocrats, Theros's father gave up the prophets of his ancestors and stopped being a businessman, but when he was a child, Theros grew up listening to the deeds of his ancestors, and he admired his ancestors very much.
However, because of his father, he did not directly engage in business.
No, after his father died, Theros, who inherited the title, came out to engage in business according to his own ideas.
But the port city is his next target after traveling around the country, but Theros has not made much money during this time.
It's not because he doesn't have talent, but because he understands very well how important it is for a businessman to understand the market, even though he doesn't know that it's a market.
It's a gift from himself, and he knows what matters most as a businessman.
