Chapter 198: It's a wealthy family again

If you come to the sunset prairie in spring and summer, you can see green grass, flowers blooming like waterfalls, and lambs everywhere, curling like flowing clouds.

Even if it is a sworn enemy of the race, human beings have to admit that the laughter and singing of the shepherdess are the most beautiful tunes on the grassland, and their stumbling figures carry too much happiness, but now, the withered grass roots have replaced a qiē, and there are signs of gloom and loneliness everywhere.

The cold wind blew, piercing the body like a sharp knife, even if the hands and feet were numb from the freeze, but the stinging pain could still be felt.

The steward tightened his leather jacket and looked back to see that the bloodtooth robbers were shouting their trumpets and pulling the wagon forward with all their might.

"Fortunately, there is Young Master Romeo, otherwise this trade, even the underwear will be lost!"

The steward was very happy, if he counted on the servants, he might not have caused much trouble, but it was a pity that a maid next to him was more beautiful and powerful than the eldest lady, otherwise Alice would marry him, and the family would definitely turn over immediately.

"Is it cold?"

Downton rode up to Juliet and Elaine and handed them a jug of wine, "Drink some and warm up!"

"These people aren't going to freeze to death, are they?"

Although Elaine is a priest, she is at the scepter level, her body is strengthened well, and with the thick cold-proof cotton clothes on her body, this cold is nothing at all, but those robbers have frozen skin and flesh, and a few of them have frozen their legs.

If it weren't for Elaine's magic treatment, all of them would have had their limbs amputated.

"They deserve to freeze to death, the master didn't kill them, and he is already extra gracious. ”

Juliet's greatest hatred is robbers, who do not have the blood of innocents on their hands, and to be a robber, they must have the consciousness of being killed.

"Punished. Maybe we'll change our ways, right?"

Downton casually coped with the fact that if it were in the country, these guys would either die or be thrown into the mines as slaves until they died of exhaustion.

The capitalists were cruel, not to mention the slave era. Give these people a mouthful of food, and Downton can be regarded as a great good person.

"That's what happens when you're a bad guy!"

Hu Tao floated over on an empty ray, carrying a frozen, hard rabbit in her hand, and I don't know where she found it.

When she came to the grassland, the little Lori was completely happy, and she ran crazy every day without a trace, and the brown bear was like a hunting dog, relying on her not-so-sensitive sense of smell to hunt for her.

Xia Luo had very few words. Looking at the direction of the Orc Sacred Mountain every day, I don't know what I'm thinking.

"See, it's the Blue Lagoon!"

With the exclamation of one of the guards, the whole team was stunned, and then cheers rang out, and they trudged across the endless prairie, because there were no coordinates, and they didn't know how long they walked every day. There is no getting lost, so people are tired and more tired.

Downton held up his monoculars. Some mushroom-like umbrella bags appeared on the horizon, and that was the Blue Lagoon, the first settlement of the orcs.

It was not far away, but at dusk, the caravan arrived, and the people were sleepy. I almost didn't even have the strength to lift my feet.

The steward shouted and let the men set up camp.

"Why don't you go in?"

Elaine was puzzled, "It's easy to be attacked on the periphery, right?"

"Honorable Miss, this is the unwritten rule of the Blue Lagoon, except for the caravans of the Empire and the Wealthy. The others are not eligible to enter the Blue Lagoon!"

The steward nodded and explained, don't look at Elaine's lack of aristocratic temperament, just because she is Downton's sister, he doesn't dare to slack off.

"You can go shopping!"

Along the way, Alice has matured a lot, and if she had stayed in the past, she would have to visit the bazaar of the Blue Lagoon first, rather than appease the caravan.

"Miss, you can go too, be a guide for Master Romeo, it's enough to have an old slave here. ”

Alice was about to refuse, but when she saw the steward blinking, she suddenly understood that this was to give herself a chance to befriend Downton.

The Blue Lagoon is the territory of the Leon Clan, and there is a legion stationed all year round, but this time, the merchants found that the number of soldiers had increased fivefold, and the orc merchants were far less.

The atmosphere has also become extremely irritable, probably because there are more garrisons, or because the human merchants took advantage of the snow disaster and asked for too much money, the orcs who came to trade were so angry that their loud voices could be heard from afar.

Most of the orcs are rectums and don't hide their affection, so those orcs glared at almost every alien who passed by, eager to cut off their heads at once and move the goods back to their homes.

In the past, the Blue Lake was just a resting place for caravans, and if you wanted to make a fortune, you had to bring the goods to Uzhumuqin, which was the first big city in the south of the Orcs, with a large population and a safer population, and naturally more buyers, and even the goods were full of Linglang, but this time, many merchants chose to trade in the Blue Lake, and there was no way, they were really worried that there would be no return.

Of course, caravans with backgrounds don't care about this, and now there are twenty-seven caravans stationed in the Blue Lagoon, the most famous of which are the Borgia and the Habsburg, the former belonging to Lombardy, and the latter to Saint-Gerdland, both wealthy families.

The reason why they haven't left yet is that they are waiting for other caravans to join, and I have to say that these caravan masters are too good at making money.

As long as each caravan pays a sum of gold coins, it can get the protection of the merchant group, although the other party asks for a more ruthless price, but as long as the goods are brought to Uzhumuqin, they can make a lot of money.

For the two big business groups, they have to go on a trip anyway, and it doesn't matter if they are more cumbersome.

It's not that there are no merchant groups complaining, and they are ready to form a large merchant group to act, and gather the escort forces, thinking that the enemy will not dare to plunder, but it turns out that the orcs are not afraid at all, and they will kill those who should be killed.

At this point, the businessmen understood why the wealthy were wealthy, that is, when the war came, they still had connections and could be unhindered in the enemy country.

In such a cold weather, the market was very depressed, and there was nothing good, Downton wandered around for a while, and then returned to the camp, only to see a bearded middle-aged man with a disdain on a stack of golden tickets on the face of the uncle in charge.

"Do you think I'm called Hanako? I don't have 500,000 gold coins, so get out of here as soon as possible!"

The bearded man was domineering, and he was about to leave.

"Wait, sir, can you make it easier?"

The steward accompanied the smiling face. After running a few steps, he pulled out, took out a stack of golden tickets, and stuffed them into the pocket of his beard.

"Get out!"

The bearded man reached out and touched it, his face sank, and he shook off the steward's hand. Having dealt with finance for many years, he knew how much it was just by feeling it.

"Hey, we can discuss it again!"

The steward is in a hurry.

"Get out of here, don't touch me with your dirty hands!"

The bearded faces were full of disgust, and they also had a tacit understanding with the orcs, and they couldn't shelter any caravan, so they had to leave a mouthful of soup for others to drink, so these shabby caravans became outcasts.

"Uncle. Don't beg him anymore, it's a big deal that we're going to sell the goods here!"

Alice couldn't take it anymore and ran out.

"Huh, this is ......."

The bearded man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned into the steward's ear, "Dedicate her to Young Master Donovan, and I will allow you to join the group!"

"No way!"

The steward didn't think about it and immediately refused.

"Hmph, toast without eating and drinking. If I don't see her tonight, you know the consequences!" the bearded man walked a few steps before turning back. A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "By the way, the prairie has not been peaceful recently, pay attention to defense!"

The steward wanted to chase after him again, but he was kicked to the ground by one of the bearded guards, and a cold sweat broke out in pain.

"Uncle. Let's just sell the goods here!"

Alice cried, not wanting to be angry with the steward.

"Hey, it's not that easy!"

The steward sighed, what is it to suffer a loss, this is how to go out to beg for life. But I was afraid of a loss, and I didn't make any money.

"If there's anything you need my help with, just ask!"

Downton didn't think anything wrong about Alice, he cared about her, but because she was his own citizen.

"Hey, how can you help?"

The steward hesitated, but after all, he didn't say it.

"Is it troublesome?"

In the tent, Alice asked.

"I took a general look, there are very few orc merchants, and if we want to get rid of our goods, we can't make enough profits. ”

The steward sighed, as if he had aged more than ten years.

"Do you have to go to Uzhumuqin?"

Alice said, her voice lowered, this time the trade was ruined, and she couldn't make money to repay loans and debts, so it was no different from not running.

"Romeo is very good at fighting, he should help us, right?"

Unable to stand the solemn atmosphere, Alice spoke.

"What is it to destroy a group of bloodtooth bandits? There are so many bandit groups here in the orcs, not to mention that there are regular army pretending to be in the guise of a group, I originally planned to join the group, but now that I have offended the Borgia merchant group, no one will dare to take us in." ”

The steward cursed the vampires, he gave them according to the price of previous years, but who knew that the bearded man directly raised five times.

Alice was silent, lived for eighteen years, and for the first time found that life was so hard!

"Miss, go and rest, remember if there is any trouble, just call Elaine and Romeo!"

The steward didn't dare to tell Alice, she had already been targeted by that bearded man, why give it to Young Master Donovan first, but he was a famous young talent in the Borgia family, just that title, how many women rushed to rush up to recommend themselves to the pillow, no need to ask, it must be the bearded man who fell in love with the beauty of the eldest lady and made him an excuse.

The night was silent, the steward was completely in apprehension, and when he got up in the morning, he was relieved, and was gritting his teeth to prepare a large sum of money, and when he went to try again, there was a sudden sound of shouting and scolding outside the camp.

The steward rushed out of the tent and saw a group of orc soldiers rummaging through the goods, not to mention that the guards and robbers did not dare to go up, but they did not move, and were also beaten by the orcs, telling them to roll out of the tent and squat in the open air.

"It's over, it's all over!"

The steward's hands and feet were cold, and he sat on the ground with his ass, and the other party not only wanted the eldest lady, but even planned to swallow the goods in one gulp.

One night, the bearded man had already figured out that this gold-encrusted rose was coming, and it was strange if he didn't start! (To be continued......
