Krurod, the nearest barbarian city to the Wall Peak, Dragondome City, the domain of Duke Plager-Winston, when the barbarians of the north once again rebelled against the wizard queen, this was actually the last barbarian territory to belong to the mage empire.

At the beginning of the day, when the drawbridge of Longding City was slowly lowered in the sound of heavy hinges, the barren city also welcomed its first guests as usual, and many people gathered here from all parts of the continent every day, hoping to be able to travel to the great mage empire of Bracada through the supplies of Longding City, most of them were walking merchants, but there were also many scholars and civilians.

Because of the war in the Northland, the inventory of Longding City is obviously much stricter than before, although the war has not yet burned to this area, but I heard that the barbarians of the Northland have fought many bloody battles with the Erathians and an unknown powerful army, and the moderate martial law is to distinguish between spies and merchants, it cannot be said that this kind of martial law is unnecessary, but for the ordinary orcs guarding the city gates, their main means of identifying spies and good citizens is still gold coins.

After paying the gate fee, which was twice as high as before, the caravan slowly walked towards the city amid the laughter of the orcs at the gate and the cold light emitted by the crossbow arrows on the castle tower.

"Wait!" Just as the last carriage was about to pass through the gates, the orc warrior who had been grinning and weighing the gold in his hand suddenly let out a loud cry, and he stepped forward, his nose fluttering and his cold gaze like a wild dog smelling rotting flesh.

"What's on the cart?" he asked, but without waiting for the caravan's master to answer, the orc's axe slashed at the high sack, and after a tearing sound of the cloth being blasted from the inside out, large soybeans rolled down the gap wider than the blade.

The orc's eyes narrowed, this is a good thing, even in Longding City under the rule of Duke Yunston, most of the food that civilians eat daily is a tuber that grows in the cracks of the Gobi stone, which is numb and astringent and difficult to swallow, not to mention, eating too much will also produce tinnitus and stomach and other toxic side effects, but in order to fill their stomachs, the people have no more choice.

As for soy products and bread and meat, only the top brass above the captain are eligible to enjoy them.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency. Seeing this, the caravan master trotted up, nodding and calling while shaking a little silver light into the orc's pocket with a subtle gesture, which is almost necessary to deal with all kinds of people in the layman all year round, "It's just some ordinary soybeans, which were ordered by the lord over there in Bracada." ”

"Uh-huh......" Feeling the weight of the pocket, the orc's nose let out a long groan like a cow's howl, and although he was eager to carry a bag of these beans back to enjoy himself, the old man involved in Bracada was by no means coveted by him, the little captain of the gate.

"And who are these two people pulling the cart?" I don't know why, although the two coachmen didn't seem to have any problems, he just felt that the smell emanating from the two of them made him very annoying.

"Lord Bao, these two are not pulling the cart, they are the homeless people I picked up on the road, one can write, the other has the strength to take them in, and they only ask for a bite to eat, and it just so happens that I also need such people in my caravan, so I brought them, and I will let them drive the car first if there is nothing to do. ”

The director nodded and explained while angrily scolding at the car: "You two wastes who don't have any eyesight, don't come down to say hello to adults", sure enough, after he scolded like this, two people in the car, a fat and a thin, also quickly jumped down and bowed to the orc.

"Hmm......" The orc captain made that nasal voice like cow chewing grass again, the continent was full of wars and wanderers, and he didn't have any doubts about it, the thin young man he just glanced at it and skipped it, but the fat man he looked at it twice.

At this moment, a noise came from the queue behind him, it turned out that another caravan had a dispute with the guards over the city gate fee, and the orc's eyes were red and he strode over without even saying hello to the main officer, and kicked over the most powerful businessman, and the convoy here naturally left in a hurry, so as not to block the road behind.

...............................................

"My lord, please forgive me, I was also in a hurry at the city gate just now, if there is anything offended, please Haihan. When the caravan had settled in the inn and had withdrawn everyone, the chief bowed deeply to the two young men in front of him.

In fact, these two people were not outcasts at all, but when the caravan was robbed by bandits on the border of Krurod, it was these two people who helped to save the lives of dozens of people in the team, so when the two proposed to go with the caravan, of course the principal agreed happily, anyway, the skills of the fat young man alone were by no means comparable to the mercenaries hired by a few gold coins.

"It's okay, what's going on with your caravan's itinerary next?" the thin blond-haired young man waved his hand lightly to signal that the principal didn't need to panic, and then asked lightly.

"If you want to go back to your lordship, we will unload a batch of unimportant goods in the next three days, replenish some supplies at Longding City, and then set off for Bracada, if you want to continue with the caravan, it will be good to meet at the post house in the morning in three days. ”

The director replied kindly, although he very much hoped that these two men would continue to serve as free bodyguards to escort the caravan into Bracada, but he also knew that if you say more, you must lose, and after so many years of businessmanship, he still has the eye for what to say and what not to say.

"Okay, I see, you go about yourself, and if I don't show up here in three days, you can go on your own road. With that, the blonde young man took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to the principal, signaling that he could go.

"This ...... My lord, I can't ask for it, I've been taken care of by you too much along the way, how can this be ......" Just by glancing at the size of the bag, the principal couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva vigorously, with his years of experience, he didn't need to count it at all, just by the sound of the gold coins hitting it, he could judge that the bag of gold coins was at least fifty, even with his current status, the knowledge was enough to be a huge amount of money.

"Take it, after taking it, what to say, what to say, what not to say, you have the bottom in your heart. The blond-haired young man undoubtedly threw the gold coin into the arms of the principal, and the latter's hand sank, and his face immediately became much more solemn.

"The little one understands, and the little one retires. With that, the principal walked backwards out of the room, and then carefully closed the door with him.

"How does it feel?"

When the footsteps of the principal had completely disappeared at the end of the hallway, the blonde youth turned his head and asked the chubby youth with a smile.

"It seems to be back in the days when we were adventurous, but my lord, wouldn't it be a bit risky to do this?" replied the chubby young man respectfully.

"Hahaha, you said you were taking a risk, so why not take a risk? In fact, I think it's much more convenient than knocking on the door with the army, not to mention that we don't need the army at all for what we want to do, and if the target is too big, it will cause unnecessary trouble, and besides, I don't want to be tough with that person for the time being. ”

"But ......" The chubby young man still hesitated, after all, he had always acted in a calm and steady style, and risk-taking and change were not what he was good at.

"No, with your current skills, I won't be captured by the minotaurs and harpies of the underworld. The blonde youth interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Now let's go to the tavern for a drink, we haven't been so relaxed in a long time, and see if we can get some useful news." ”

"Yes......"
