Three days passed quickly, and in the early hours of the morning, the meditative Ryan suddenly opened his eyes and looked into a corner of the room.

There, there was a small hole, and a fat rat was writhing its body in it, but it was so fat that the narrow hole stuck it there.

Ryan suddenly felt a little speechless, there is really no one who can get a mouse stuck in the hole, and he can only say that the food is too good.

He stepped forward and scooped out the mouse, placed it on the table, and said, "Whether you understand it or not, now lead the way in front." ”

The rat squeaked a few times, then got off the table and ran down the windowsill, and Ryan hurriedly followed, and after about half an hour, the rat actually took him under the city wall.

There was a rat hole in a hidden corner, which it easily slipped through, and Lane could not follow suit, and a few people jumped over the tall walls and reached the outside of the city.

The wilderness outside the city was very silent, a full moon hung in the dark sky, and dense stars dotted around it, quiet and lonely.

On the empty hillside, a figure covered in black robes stood, and the silver moonlight sprinkled down to pull his back long.

"Your Excellency is the Rat Caller? Today I finally saw the true face of Lushan. Ryan stood at the bottom of the hill, looking at each other calmly.

"Lushan? As far as I know, there is no such mountain in the South. The Rat Caller, with his back to Ryan, finally turned around, his face shrouded in a faceless white mask, and he couldn't see his face, even his eyes were black holes.

The voice was a little hoarse, and it looked like it was deliberately disguised.

"Say it casually." Ryan shrugged.

"You have a great sense of humor, Lord Viscount. I don't think I'll let you down if you spent a lot of money to see me today, and I don't think I'll let you down. ”

The rat caller's voice didn't fluctuate, but Ryan could feel the strong confidence in his heart.

"I want to know, why are you helping me, we shouldn't have crossed paths before."

"Is this what you're here to see? You know, such an opportunity is a dream for many people, after all, my news ...... It's expensive. ”

Ryan shook his head and smiled: "Free is always the most expensive, I'm not afraid of price, I'm afraid of priceless." ”

"You are indeed a very special person, but you are too worried, I help you out of pure curiosity about you, that's all."

This answer was something Ryan didn't expect, but he didn't have the habit of being remembered by big men: "It's obviously not a reasonable reason, I don't think I have anything worth your attention." ”

"Of course you have, don't worry, I won't be enemies with you, and I know you have no hostility towards me, otherwise I wouldn't be here."

"That's really good news." Ryan spread his hands, and finally gave up the tempting idea of capturing the rat caller, the other party must have a back hand to be arrogant in Bray City for so long.

It's not a good idea to offend him rashly, because Ryan doesn't know how much information the other party has about Cana Territory, and if any confidential information is disseminated, it will be a disaster for Ryan.

"Are you worried about what I know? Your Excellency, a month ago, someone wanted to buy news about you, and that nobleman had a lot of money, but I didn't complete the deal. ”

His words shocked Ryan's heart, he had expected such a day for a long time, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Who is the other party?"

"Oh, oh, Your Excellency, although I have not sold your news, I will not betray my guests, you know, credibility is very difficult to accumulate."

The rat caller rejected Ryan's question very principledly, which made Ryan scratch his head, and the other party's attitude was really abnormal.

"I was presumptuous."

"Your Excellency, if there is nothing to do, I will have to leave, and this will be the end of today's meeting." The Rat Caller walked down the hill, farther and farther away in Ryan's perception.

Ryan clenched his fists several times and then released them, but this man really made him have a lot of scruples.

"I hope you really won't be my enemy." Ryan didn't make a move in the end, and silently turned away......

The next morning, Ryan said goodbye to Chelse and went to the former refugee area of Horay, which has now been developed into a bustling street.

The previous school in the refugee area made of bluestone bricks and tiles is still crowded in that corner, and it seems that it has never changed.

Ryan stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a short man with a half-metal mask opened the door, and he said with some surprise, "See you again, Your Excellency." ”

"Yes, Mr. Xiulun, I haven't seen you for a long time." Ryan looked at the somewhat shabby classroom, where all the students had gone, and now only a girl who looked thirteen or fourteen years old was still sitting at an empty desk.

"The kids are all graduating?"

"I thought, alas, that their families need them as laborers, and they are basically gone after a few days of study, and the only thing left is Flomia, who is a poor homeless person, and no one wants her to go back to feed the pigs or get married."

Xiu Lun smiled self-deprecatingly, knowledge, how precious, in the hearts of those children, the seeds of knowledge are sprouting, I thought it could grow into a towering tree, but I didn't expect it to be a dream for them.

They may be feeding pigs now, they may be farming, they may be working hard...... There could be everything, but it was impossible to get in touch with knowledge anymore, which made Xiu Lun a little stunned.

Ryan was speechless, in this world, civilians don't need knowledge, because they are all running around for a living.

"Mr. Xiulun, do you remember what I told you before, if one day your students run out, you can come to me and continue to use your talents." Ryan extended a cordial invitation.

He had listened to Xiu Lun's lectures before, and he was very detailed, although his level was not as good as that of Wadewen, but it was much better than most of the half-people in Canna.

He is now in a state of thirst for talent, he is very much in need of talents from all walks of life, and education is the top priority.

A smile appeared on Xiulun's feminine cheeks: "We're happy to serve you." ”

So, there were two more strange people in Ryan's team, one of them with a metal mask on his face, and the other was a cold-faced girl with a scar on his face......

After Ryan returned to the territory, he immediately sent the materials collected from Chelse to Liman, which surprised Liman with such high efficiency.

After all, he knew how difficult it was to collect those materials.

Naturally, he can't hold back if the gold lord gives him strength, although there are still five kinds of materials missing, but he can also start casting, and then make up the missing part after the materials are ready.

When Ryan returned to the castle, he found that his teacher Sterling was no longer in the castle, and asked the guard at the door, saying that he had been gone for several days, and that he had not explained anything before leaving.

Thinking of what he said before, Ryan felt worried for a while, although he was very confident in Sterling, but after all, he was dealing with the devil, was it really okay for him to be alone?

He waited with this anxious state of mind, but he didn't expect that Sterling did not wait for him to return, but that the merchant fleet led by Fitrol was about to arrive at the Celt docks.

——————

On the dock, Ryan had already been looking forward to it with many government officials, after all, this was the first water trade in the Kanna Territory, and Ryan still attached great importance to it.

Hevian looked at the surface of the river that had not appeared for a long time, and whispered with some worry: "Lord Lord, did you say that what Fitlore brought back this time will be good news?" After all, according to the itinerary, they should have just finished the one-way trip at this time. ”

"I don't know if it's good news or bad news, but I believe in Fitrol, and I believe in our soldiers and sailors, and the news they brought back is certainly the best news."

Ryan propped his hands on the guardrail, and answered Hevian's question in the affirmative, he was ready to accept the outcome.

"Look, the fleet has appeared!" Suddenly, sharp-eyed soldiers were the first to spot the flotilla.

Ryan and the others also looked around, only to see a huge first appearance, it was an armed escort ship, compared to when it set off, its hull showed a lot of traces of repair, but it didn't look bad.

Next were six intact merchant ships, well protected, and an armed frigate behind them, which was in a worse condition, with signs of extensive repairs to its hull, which should have suffered minor injuries.

The fleet slowly approached the dock, and Fitrol was the first to disembark, his appearance was a little bad, with a stubble on his face and long messy hair, which he hadn't taken care of for a long time.

"Welcome back, my captain, you're coming back much sooner than I expected." Ryan was the first to express his greetings.

Fitrol's face was full of tiredness, but he could see that his mental state was still good, he stroked his left chest with one hand, bowed slightly, and said, "I'm back, my lord, I have successfully completed my task, and I have lived up to your trust in me." ”

Ryan was a little surprised, completed the task? Such a short period of time?

He wanted to ask, but this was obviously not the place to speak, so after the crew and soldiers had disembarked, Ryan took Fitlore and the officials back to the castle in Chelt City after instructing the coolies to carry the ship's things.

Since taking over the city of Cert, this castle has become a place for him to settle here, after all, no one dares to live in this castle except him, it is a taboo.

"Come on, tell me about your situation along the way, how did you complete the task so quickly?" As soon as he arrived at the office and sat down, Ryan couldn't wait to ask questions.

"Yes, my lord, we'll leave that day......" Fitlore sat down and took a sip of water, and then began to speak.

It turned out that all of them underestimated the popularity of Cana's goods, whether it was green sugar or paper, liquor, cement and even alchemical potions, they were all very sought after.

On their first leg up in the north, they sold a tenth of the fleet's merchandise at a price of 100 per cent, and the further they went, the more popular they became.

Because with the fame of the Kana Territory, many merchants came to the news and brought the goods of the Kana Territory to various nearby territories.

The proximity of nature is also a relatively abundant supply, but even so, it has achieved a completely unexpected harvest.

This is not the case with a relatively abundant supply, not to mention those cities that are more distant, and basically as soon as the banner is sold, a large group of buyers will flock to it waving their money bags.

Fitlore sat on the ground and the price rose to three times the original price before finally finding it suitable.

And he was keenly aware that goods were being sold much faster than expected, so he limited the number of local goods sold at one time, and took the opportunity to mix them with goods purchased and exchanged in the middle.

If it weren't for that, the goods they brought from the Kanna tie would have been sold out long ago.

Fortunately, Fitrol was not carried away by money, and remembered another task on his part, which was to spread the name of Cana Territory to all the cities along the Linton River, laying the foundation for future trade.

In order to accomplish this, Fitlore first builds momentum at each stop, and then sells a small portion of the local goods and most of the goods purchased by other territories.

Fitrol has a unique eye for local produce. There is a way to be the poison of the other, my fairy grass, although these specialties are not as popular as the original goods of the caravan, but they are also sold at a high price as soon as they change hands.

Relying on such a hand, Fitlore can be said to have made a lot of money, and more than doubled Ryan's original estimated sales.

It's just that no matter how much you control it, there will be a day when it will be sold out, and when the trip is just halfway through, all the goods brought by the Kana tie have been sold out.

At this point, Fitlore decisively terminated the trip and led the fleet back to the territory.

While they continued to buy local produce along the way and sell them for a lot of money, in Fitrol's view, it was a drain on the reputation that Kanna had just built.

After all, everyone is here for the novelty of the Cana collar, and what you bring out is a bunch of common goods, which will undoubtedly disappoint the buyer, and ultimately affect the future trade.

Therefore, no matter what you do, you can't just focus on the immediate benefits, but also for the long-term, which is why Ryan chose to let Fitlore personally lead the team for the first water trade, because only he will be relieved when he goes to Ryan.

Now it seems that he made the right choice, and he laid a good foundation for the rest of the water trade in Kanna.

"You're always good at surprising me, and you've done so much for the territory." Ryan said with emotion.

"You've won the prize, and it's all as it should be." Fitrol was not in the slightest sign of pride.

"Overly modest. By the way, what's the matter with the injuries on the ship, you guys were attacked? ”

Fitlore's expression suddenly became strange, and he nodded and said, "When we were anchoring in a section of water for supplies, a fleet suddenly attacked us......"
