Chapter 294: Cryptic Information
"Those two people from yesterday?"
"Yes, yes, Bell and Anneza...... They were friends of Loherway and Fairwood. ”
"Aren't they the new hired guards of Nepps? I saw them yesterday. ”
"Who knows, maybe Nipps took this opportunity to get on the big boat. ”
"How lucky...... But didn't I hear that Fairwood had resigned from all positions in the Empire, so what's the use of taking him?"
"Don't forget, Fairwood's father is Lieutenant General Pollock. As long as you have a good relationship with him, even the city lord will give him some face. It is said that our city lord is still a disciple of the lieutenant general......"
"This kind of thing we just know a little bit about...... If you want me to say, if he has a good relationship with Lorvey, that's enough. It's not that he was just a master chief when he was in Hitra, but now he is a full-fledged second-class military academy. ”
"Shh......h They're coming. The soldier who was talking suddenly straightened his back, and when he saw the two of them coming from a distance, he hurriedly gave a deep salute.
The sudden military salute startled Bell, and he was so relieved to think that yesterday, Lorvay sent someone to send him out of the city in a high-profile manner. He returned the salute to the soldiers, and then continued his way to Nepps' home.
Along the way, the gentlemen nodded to him enthusiastically, and the women quietly paid attention to their whereabouts, and some young ladies passed by, with indescribable warmth between the corners of their eyebrows and eyes.
Unlike when I first came here, although people didn't show any malice at that time, they were still smiling at themselves. But the feeling is completely different.
At that time, they all nodded and smiled at themselves. But there was no brilliance in his eyes. It's just a simple social habit. And now it's a smile from the heart. There was friendliness in his eyes.
The two of them soon arrived in the courtyard of the merchant Nepps's house, where the two guards had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the two of them approaching from afar, one of the guards hurriedly ran back to inform Nepps and his wife, while the other strode up to meet them.
Yesterday he had heard that Bell and Annesha were coming to visit, and Nepps got up early to wait for their arrival. After meeting Bell, the merchant was already happy.
Just yesterday, Gloria found the best doctor in town for her husband. After a doctor's examination, it was confirmed that Nepps' injuries were no longer serious. The broken bones have begun to grow back, and the injured organs have almost completely recovered.
After examining the merchant, the doctor continued to sigh. After her husband was injured, he must have met a senior doctor. It stands to reason that it is very difficult for a person to save his life after receiving such a trauma, and even if he does, I am afraid that the arm will be abolished from now on.
Of course, Nepps didn't say anything about the witch doctor, after all, the traditional relationship between the doctor and the witch doctor is like a hostile relationship, and the two sides are simply incompatible.
But he mentally credited Bell with all the credit, and even Gloria felt the same way. So when they heard that Bell was going to come and visit them. I also proudly cooked some special food myself......
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Nepps and Gloria greeted him. After a day's rest, the little girl Zhuo'er has fully recovered her strength.
Kids...... It's supposed to recover faster than an adult's physical strength. Unlike when they first met in the hotel, after some careful care from her mother, Zhuo'er ran out happily like a little princess.
The small fuchsia dress is lined with pure white tassels, pink cloth shoes are embroidered with small white flowers, and dark blue stockings are looming between the skirts. The silver-white hair and a pale pink headband make her look more agile.
Seeing such a cute Zhuo'er running and jumping out to meet her, Bell's heart suddenly soured somehow. There should be a sound in such a scene! It's a pity...... It's a shame.
Ushered into the house as if she were a VIP, Gloria brought the apple pie that had already been made, and it was not yet time for lunch, so she just brought out some dessert.
But even this inconspicuous thing is made by herself. The food for important guests to enjoy, she still doesn't feel at ease to hand it over to her subordinates to deal with.
Looking at the apple pie on the table, Bell felt a pang in his appetite. Can't eat...... I really can't eat it. Without waiting for Nepps to speak first, he hurriedly took the right to speak in his hands, "I have an important matter to discuss with you this time, I don't know if we should go to the study or just talk here." ”
"Oh, you say, if you need my help, I'll do my best to help you. Nipps was stunned and agreed directly.
"Well, that's right. We've known each other for a while, and I don't know what kind of business you're doing. If we have the chance, I wonder if we can work together. Bell said slowly.
"Oh...... That's easy to say. I can do almost anything, you know. As a merchant, traveling from south to north is nothing more than transporting all kinds of things to where they are needed, and then selling them. The merchant said humbly.
"I mean, do we have our own caravans or something. The last time you lost in Hitra, will you still be able to organize in the future? To tell you the truth, do you remember our days in the Timberwolves Bandits? I made a deal with their captain to let them buy slaves for me. ”
"Uh-huh...... I know that. Do you mean that you want to establish a commercial route between that secret location and Kuzeta? ”
"Exactly. I know that this matter can only be asked of you, other merchants...... To be honest, I don't trust that much, and you're the only one I'm the ideal person for. Bell said in a deep voice.
Neppus nodded solemnly, "Well, I don't know where your secret location is, what you need over there, and if there are any things that can be used as goods." These are important pieces of information. ”
The merchant was briefed on the situation in the valley, including the cloth, food, and daily necessities to be used, as well as the need for some weapons.
As for the abundant things, I am afraid that the only things that are abundant are wood, stone, animal skins, and herbal materials.
"That's enough! Once my body is fully recovered, I will organize a small caravan to make contact with your valley. (To be continued.) )
