Khafra glanced at the sky outside the shop, a look of concern on his face.

Prado was summoned away by the lord of the castle when he was close to lunch, and it was already past lunch time, and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, but he still didn't come back, which was really strange.

Supposedly, even if the lord of the castle gave Prado a special favor and left him for lunch, then he should have come back after eating.

It's impossible that the lord of the castle likes him so much when he sees him that he wants to stay with him for dinner, right?

"Uncle, what are we going to do now?" asked Nasus, who was on the side, yawning boredly and asking Khafre.

Khafra glanced at him and waved his hand: "Don't stay here, go out and check the magic locomotive." By the way, we're going to leave here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and we can't let anything go wrong with the magic locomotive. ”

Nasus pouted: "What is there to check here? The quality of the things in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always been good, so there will be no problems." ”

"Let you go!" Hafre's eyes widened.

Nasus could only mumble helplessly, got up and walked out the door.

As soon as he walked to the door, several tall figures suddenly walked in from the outside, completely blocking the door of the shop.

Nasus was stunned, looked closely, and found that the people who suddenly appeared were wearing the uniforms and armor of the city defense army, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Then he was surprised to find that the leader of the city defense army he actually knew was the captain of the Vane who was in charge of guarding the city gate when they entered the city two days ago yesterday.

Captain Vane's gaze swept across Nasus's face, and then fell on Khafre, who had just gotten up in the store.

After glancing at Khafre. He nodded. With a wave of the hand. shouted in a low voice: "It's them, all arrested!"

Several city guards behind him immediately rushed out like wolves and tigers, holding the two of them firmly.

"Hey, what are you doing? have we done anything wrong, why are you arresting us?" Nasus immediately shouted loudly, struggling as he might.

However, he was just a teenager who had not yet reached adulthood, and how could he be able to defeat two well-trained soldiers of the city defense army, and he could only shout two words, which had no effect.

Khafre was equally surprised. But he was well-informed, and much calmer than Nasus.

Seeing Captain Vane in the lead, he gave Captain Vane an inquiring look.

Captain Vane turned his gaze to meet Khafre's eyes, shaking his head slightly.

Hafra immediately understood, turned his head and whispered to Nasus to shut him up.

Captain Vane waved his hand again, and several city guards escorted the two out together.

After getting into two carriages under the escort of the city defense army, the group staggered to the city defense military guard post located in the south of the city.

The city guards in charge of the escort then sent the two to the guard prison and held them in the same cell.

"Uncle. This...... What the hell is going on?" and when the escorted city guards withdrew from the cell, Nasus finally couldn't hold back the panic in his heart. Asked Khafre.

"Calm down. Hafra patted Nasus on the shoulder, took out a piece of baked bread that he had eaten at noon, and handed it over. "Eat first and calm down. ”

Nasus stared blankly at the biscuits handed over by Khafre, and thought to himself that you still let me eat at this time?

"Remember, you have to keep yourself calm when you encounter anything. Then remember that no matter what situation you encounter, you must first protect your stomach. Only by having a body can you make sure that you can respond when necessary. Got it?"

Seeing the solemn expression on Khafre's face, Nasus nodded as if he didn't understand.

After thinking for a moment, he reached out and took the biscuit, broke half of it and handed it back to Khafre, then bit the other half himself, chewing lightly as he fell into thought.

Seeing that Nasus was gradually regaining his composure, Khafra glanced at the half of the pancake in his hand and nodded appreciatively.

This nephew was able to listen to his words like this, and he was able to calm down in this situation, and even remember to give himself half of the baked cake, which really made him very satisfied.

If you can save the day this time, you can really train him as a successor in the future.

After a pause, Khafra shoved the other half of the biscuit into his mouth, and after taking a bite of it, he thought about it as he chewed.

Although Captain Vane didn't give him many hints just now, he could read a lot of meaning from them.

First of all, Captain Vane directly asked him not to act rashly, obviously because the incident that suddenly happened today was relatively large, and he had to be careful.

Secondly, this reaction also made Hafre feel a lot more reassured.

Because this means that the problems they encounter may not cause particularly severe consequences, and there should be room for salvage.

Otherwise, Captain Vane's expression would be more solemn.

In the end, since Captain Vane is willing to give him hints, it proves that he is willing to help.

At this point, in fact, the specific help he can give may not be very great, but it is very important to be able to embody this attitude, proving that the matter itself is not so strict, otherwise as Captain Vain, the captain of the city defense team, he would definitely not dare to participate.

Thinking of this, Khafra exhaled slowly, slowed down, leaned his back against the wall of the cell, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

Nasus glanced at Khafre, tilted his head and thought about it, and simply lay on the ground, and fell asleep.

About an hour later, a sound of footsteps sounded outside the cell.

Khafra opened his eyes and saw that Captain Vane was the only one walking over.

And he seemed a little cautious when he walked over, and looked left and right from time to time, looking a little sneaky.

Seeing Captain Vane's appearance, Khafre's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up and walked to the door of the cell.

Captain Vane walked briskly to the edge of the cell and couldn't help but smile when he saw Khafra waiting inside. I thought that this small businessman from out of town was clever.

"Team Wayne ......"

Three words just came out of Hafre's mouth. Captain Vane had put his finger to his mouth. Make a silent gesture.

Khafre immediately shut up and stared at Captain Vane.

"Listen, don't ask. Captain Vane leaned in and lowered his voice to a very low level. "According to what I have inquired about, you have attracted the attention of a great deal of power this time, so you don't have to expect to get away with it. But you don't have to worry, you won't be punished very harshly this time, and your life won't be in danger. Remember. Tomorrow there will be a judgment on you, don't try to justify, be honest. Because that's what the big guys need. If you don't cooperate...... You know what I mean. ”

Hearing what Captain Vane said very solemnly, Khafra nodded solemnly, then glanced at the situation outside the cell, then reached into his arms, took out a small money bag, and handed it to Captain Vane.

"Thank you, Captain Vaane, for your help. Please also help me to inquire about my eldest brother, also known as Prado. ”

Captain Vane hesitated for a moment and tucked the money bag into his arms.

"I don't know the specific news of your eldest brother. But I heard that he was only temporarily locked up by the city lord, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. ”

"Good. Thank you. ”

"Remember what I just said, if you want to keep this life, you have to cooperate a little. With that, Captain Vane hurried away.

Seeing Captain Vane disappear to the far end of the cell, Khafre pondered for a moment, then turned to wake up the sleeping Nasus, and whispered to him.

###

Three days later, Khafre, Prado, and Nasus left the city of La Rue in a horse-drawn carriage.

Nasus glanced back at the high gates of the city of Larue, and his face was full of reluctance.

"Uncle, are we going back like this?"

Khafra and Prado looked at each other, sighed, shook their heads, and said, "Okay, it's good to be able to leave alive this time." ”

"But...... But not only did they confiscate all of our money from selling our clothes, but they also confiscated our magic locomotives, why!" Nasus's green face was filled with anger. "Aren't all the people of the Candela Empire talking about the law of kings?"

Prado on the side looked a little embarrassed, but the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart made him not want to say anything to refute at all.

When he was suddenly summoned by the lord of the castle three days ago, at first the lord of the castle and the noble lady beside him were more kind to him, and asked him some questions about the clothes he was selling.

At that time, Prado thought that the clothes he was selling had aroused the interest of the lord of the castle and the noblewoman, and he was very happy about this.

However, when he explained that the clothes came from the kingdom of Lampari, the noblewoman suddenly turned her face, and then the lord of the city had him directly arrested and sent to prison.

Later, after an apparently superficial trial, they were convicted of commercial fraud and deliberate concealment of tax returns, and in the end, not only all the proceeds from the sale of these goods were confiscated, but also the large freight magic locomotive that Hafra and Nasus had brought in to transport the goods.

Prado's store in the city of Larue was also directly banned for these two crimes, and it was announced that Prado would no longer be qualified to do business.

If you calculate it, this time their direct economic loss has even exceeded five thousand gold coins.

If you add in Prado's loss of shop pù and business qualifications, it is even more miserable.

Prado has been fighting in La Rue for more than ten years, and now he has nothing left overnight, and the blow to him can be imagined.

Fortunately, Khafre, who was also released after three days of detention, comforted him.

Khafre said that Prado could follow him back to the kingdom of Lampari.

Although the loss of thousands of gold coins this time was also a severe blow to Khafre, with the foundation he had saved in the Lampari Kingdom in the past few years, he could still continue to hold on after returning home.

And this time it was a big blow to them, but both Hafre and Prado were convinced that there was a large number of cheap goods in the Lampari Kingdom, and they could sell them at very good prices when they came to the Candela Empire, and they would definitely not worry about sales.

This is a very promising and unusually broad market, as long as you grasp it well, you can easily earn back a few thousand gold coins.

The only question is what is the reason for LaRue's actions against them this time.

If this is just a reaction from the city of LaRue, a special case, then there is no problem.

But if this matter reflects the will of the entire Candela Empire, then it is a very strict question...... (To be continued......)
