Chapter 208
The mountaineer who was the first to bring the Black Rock Sheep returned home under the escort of the defenders, and immediately caused a sensation among the nearby residents, the pile of fur coats as high as a hill had already amazed them, and the potion that could quickly cure the terminal illness was even more shocking.
Seeing that after his daughter drank the potion, her pale face quickly became ruddy, and there was no longer a snoring sound in her lungs, which was clearly about to be cured, and the mountain people were already grateful to Moeller to the point of no more, and he began to take the trouble to tell every visitor about the kindness and nobility of Lord Moeller, of course, he did not forget to say the news that Moeller had asked him to convey, so soon more mountain people rushed to hear the news, and the news spread farther and farther.
In the middle of the Dongfeng Ridge, there is a mountain range called "Cha Xixi", Cha Xi Xi in the ancient language of the mountain people is "unstable" meaning, this Cha Xi West Mountain, there are eighty-five rock caves, there is a strong wind all the year round, the whole mountain is bare, because no plants can survive in this environment.
However, there is an eighty-sixth cave dug out by hand at the bottom of the mountain, and there is no strong wind in it, and it is calm. Here lived the most powerful man in the entire Dongfeng Ridge, and he was revered by the mountain people as Lord Lagon.
Ragon was a fat old man, with studded yellow hair, yellow-green eyes, and a large, colourful robe traditional for mountain people, who was sitting on his throne decorated with ivory and bearskin, listening to a skinny mountain man.
"Lord Lagon, here's the thing, I heard that the new magician repelled the army of the Serre Kingdom without even using his five demonic beasts as tall as a mountain!"
Ragon waved his hand impatiently: "Don't talk about this, tell me more about that Moeller cutting fifty fur coats at the same time." β
"Yes, yes!" said the skinny monkey-like man, who had heard the story from the mountain man who had given the Black Rock Sheep to Mole.
After hearing this, Ragon's face was cloudy for a long time, but then he suddenly sneered and said: "It must be those ignorant guys who exaggerated, cutting out fifty fur coats in the blink of an eye, I'm afraid that the legendary magic master has such ability!"
Although this old man is the most powerful person in the entire Dongfeng Ridge, he has never walked out of the mountains in his life, and his vision is limited after all.
Ignoring the rumors that the story of Mole was exaggerated, the other mountain people took out their usual savings and prepared to trade with the generous Lord Mole.
On the third morning of the capture of the Rock Fort, Moller gathered all the defenders of the Rock Fort, and counted them, including the regimental commander, fifty-three in all.
Moeller looked at the general voxels of the fifty-three people, and then said to Rex, Ereba and Brandon: "Today, each of you will choose a team of twelve people from among the fifty-two people except the head of the folding cloth regiment to be your direct subordinates, and take them to practice every day in the future." β
Rex jumped up: "Player, great, I'll choose first!"
Brandon stopped: "No, what if you choose the best?"
"I think it's better to draw lots~" Eribati yì.
Moller didn't care about how the three of them discussed, and after the arrangement was made, he called the head of the folding cloth to the side, and asked him to take him to see the warehouse inventory of the rock fort, and on the way they also talked about what specialties were in Dongfeng Ridge.
Since there were no supplies, the warehouses in Dongfeng Ling looked shabby, and they were hung with the skins and dried meat that the soldiers had obtained from hunting, as well as some broken weapons and leather armor, as well as wooden knives, guns and clubs for training.
"So, the specialties of Dongfeng Ridge are mainly blue-green ore, green beads and snake gall, red cotton and vulture yellow flowers?"
"Yes, sir. β
"And what else do they needβmid-level healing potions, coats to protect against the cold?"
When he saw Moeller doing so yesterday, he knew that he wanted to trade with the mountain people, and he was pleased with this, so he asked, "My lord, our mountain people are short of medicines, salt, and iron, and as for fur coats to protect against the cold, although they are also needed, many families can solve them themselves. β
"That's right. Moeller thought for a moment and said, "When Rex and they finish selecting their men, the losers will have to do the logistics, you let them clean up the cellar, and then move these broken weapons to the cellar." β
After ordering the cloth to be folded, Moeller summoned Xiali and Serzi to guard the castle and protect the safety of Rex and the others, and he himself quietly left.
Moeller had a temporary idea to visit the city of Sayou, the royal capital of the former Duchy of Span. The Duchy of Span is not big, so even if it is the most frontier rock fort, ordinary cavalry only needs to travel for a day and a night to reach the royal city, and if it is a land high-level demonic beast, it can be reached in three or five hours. Moller, on the other hand, rode on the magic flying carpet, and with enough magic, it would take less than three hours to go back and forth.
Use the Phantom Shard to steal your tracks along the way, then stop a few miles outside of Sayo City and use the Magic Eye to observe. He found that Sayo City had indeed entered a state of martial law, not only the personnel entering and leaving the city had to be strictly inspected by the guards, but also the fluctuations in the detection of magic items, and the large array guarding the city wall was also faintly activated.
In such a heavily guarded situation, if he wanted to break in, Moeller felt that he was only afraid that he would have to go up to the ninth rank to have this confidence, and it was too risky to do such a thing now.
After observing for a while, Moeller turned his attention to the caravans entering the city, Sayo City is a commercial city, and the daily necessities of tens of thousands of people in the city are basically transported from the outside by caravans, so a large number of horse convoys will bring goods over every day.
Moller quickly selected a team of eight carriages carrying hundreds of fine white cloth bags, which he knew were filled with table salt.
The man at the head of the caravan wiped his sweat with a scarf hanging around his neck, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was about to arrive in Sayo City, now that the world is so chaotic, this trip can arrive safely without any accidents, but it is really blessed by the gods.
However, at this moment, a fog suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire convoy, and in the blink of an eye, the entire convoy could not see the surrounding situation, only the neighing of horses, the exclamations of people, and the sound of escorting mercenaries showing their weapons, it was simply a mess.
However, the chaos only lasted for half a minute, and the fog dissipated like this, and the leading man checked his convoy in a panic, but was suddenly stunned, because all the eight carts of salt were gone, and there was not even a bag left!
For a moment, the leader only felt that he had been abandoned by the gods, fooled by fate, and had no desire to live.
But before the wail in his throat could take shape, his men found a bag in the front carriage, which contained three hundred gold coins.
The leader's sadness suddenly dissipated, and three hundred gold coins was more than enough to buy eight carts of salt, although it was necessary to consider apologizing to the orderer, explaining to the owner and other things, but it was definitely much better than losing all your money!
The ups and downs were a test of the heart, and the leader muttered thanks to the merciful unknown powerhouse, and then quickly ran towards the city with the empty convoy.
Watching the convoy leave, Moeller was relieved to leave, he was the one who had just taken the salt, originally he had faintly thought about robbing it directly, but then remembered that he had taught Mephistopheles a lesson about banditry in his righteous words, if he was also a robber, how could he have a position to teach others?
So he left the gold coins, and after seeing the change in the leader's expression, he was even more sure of his decision - to take the goods directly would be to drive a stranger to his death, which Moeller would never want to do.
Moeller, who had bought eight carts of salt, returned to the Rock Fort on the magic flying carpet again, and the whole journey only took more than three hours, and it was not even time for lunch, Rex and the others were still in full swing, and they didn't know that Moeller had ever gone out.
"My lord, I have finally found you. When he saw Moller standing on the wall, he ran to him and said, "Mother Green-Haired from Torch Mountain has come to see you!"
"Poof!who?" said Moller, amused by the name.
Zhebu was obviously accustomed to the reaction of outsiders outside the mountain after hearing this name, so he smiled and said: "Mother Green Hair is a very famous witch doctor among our mountain people, our mountain people don't have any medicine, and we rely on these witch doctors to cure diseases, she is still quite capable, and her status among the mountain people is not low!"
Moller nodded and said, "Then let me meet this lady in the study." β
The green-haired mother is a thin old woman in her sixties, and her face is wrinkled, like an air-dried orange. However, she was clearly very fond of beauty, and wore a bright green turban around her head, a gold headdress between her temples, and a black dress with delicate blue flowers embroidered on the corners and cuffs of her trousers.
The study was chosen by Moeller as his usual reading and meeting place, and yesterday he took the time to clean up, although he did not have time to make major changes, but he was covered with exquisite carpets, hung high-end brocade curtains, and the furniture was outlined with transformation magic, which looked a lot more advanced.
It was here that Moller cordially invited the green-haired mother to sit down, and entertained her with a pot of pearl tea from Lady Julie in a magic stove and a delicate silver teapot.
The green-haired mother had seen such a pleasure there, and smiled so much that the folds on her face were doubled, and told Moeller that she had heard yesterday that a noble man had come to the Rock Castle, and that she had the heart to see it, so she chose two sturdy young men, and carried her all night to come this morning.
Moeller said that he was originally carried over by someone in a wicker chair, no wonder he came from the mountains at an age, and his whole body was still so clean.
After listening to the lady for a long time, Moeller found that she had been talking about how noble her status was among the mountain people, and how amazing the witch doctor's abilities were, and he could not help but wonder what she was here for.
Later, the green-haired mother talked about her torch mountain, which was full of red cotton trees, and there were many good hands at catching green bead snakes, which made the impatient Moeller a little interested.
"This is the most skillful girl in our mountain people, and it is much more suitable to give it to your noble person than the Black Rock Sheep, which can represent the friendship between our mountain people and you!"
The green-haired mother took out a mountain people's shoulders woven of red cotton and gave it to Moller. After listening to what she said, Moeller came to his senses, and it turned out that this lady had come all night for the one hundred gold coins she had given to the mountain man who had brought the Black Rock Sheep yesterday!
