On November 7, 996, the Imperial Emperor destroyed the headquarters of the Gray Goose and held a bonfire dinner in the evening to reward all the knights and cavalry.

Rand, who felt that he couldn't stand Neil, even roasted two long-haired sheep for Neil's patrol before, and then took Albert, Inuya, Rohr, and Makoto to visit Neil, and ate with Neil for a while before returning to the camp.

Before eating, the barbarians of the right camp sang two songs handed to them by Rant, and the barbarians liked these two songs from Rant's hometown, which bridged the sense of estrangement between the tribes.

After the barbarians finished singing, it was the knights of the left battalion and the demonsless who sang separately, and the knights sang a new song from Rand's hometown, which was also a military music from Rand's hometown.

The demonsless are singing Rand's farewell song for galloping horses.

Looking at the strong atmosphere of the scene, Rand was thinking about whether to adapt a new song for his various lords.

Dinner in the camp continued, and Rand returned to the tent, there were so many things going on all afternoon that Rand hadn't had time to see the details of the reception, and as a fan of small wealth, Rand didn't want to miss the joy of counting the spoils.

At the same time, Rand still has a lot of things he doesn't understand, and he wants to ask Wendy a few girls.

。。。。。。

After Rand entered Wendy and Frostwolf Makoto's tent, Wendy subconsciously said, "Sure enough, it's here"

Lili knew Wendy's thoughts and dragged Wendy, afraid that Wendy would be rude.

"Makoto, do you have a detailed list of the harvest in the afternoon? Albert was interrupted by the big rock when he came to report to me."

"Of course" Makoto then took a piece of paper to Rand, who scanned the list, the greatest wealth of the entire camp was close to 10 tons of salt and 3 tons of iron ingots, as well as more than 50 sets of iron armor and more than 100 sets of half-leather and half-iron armor worn by Albert before, and close to 5 cubic meters of wood and 4 cubic meters of stone were also important gains.

According to some of the demonless people in charge of the camp, the leader of the gray goose has been collecting building materials and preparing to use the current camp to build a castle.

In addition, there are almost 500 non-demon and 30 human demon lovers in the camp, including 3 junior knights and 6 knight apprentices (not including 5 girls).

From the leader's tent, Rand found more than 2,000 gold coins, as well as a complete magic chest, which contained some magic weapons and magic plates, as well as nearly 70 magic crystals.

However, the most unexpected of them was a contract signed a few years ago, a contract between the Imperial Salt and Iron Division and the Gray Goose Tribe, in which it was agreed that the Blue Dragon Family of the Dragon Kingdom would act as an agent for the Salt and Iron Division and the Gray Goose Tribe to conduct an annual salt trade, and for this purpose, it was specifically stated that the Salt and Iron Division would provide a standard salt boiling pot and heating magic pattern plate.

The contract also stated that the Grey Goose Tribe would deliver salt to the caravan of the Blue Dragon Family four times a year, and the amount of delivery was in a special unit of measurement, and the Blue Dragon Family provided a voucher for salt citations, and the Grey Goose leaders could use the salt quotations to exchange gold coins in the Salt Iron Division or major cities in the Dragon Kingdom.

Rand finally found the true secret of the rise of the gray goose, and he had wondered before that an industry such as inland salt production, which was both mining and handicraft, could not obtain sufficient income without mature technology, a stable group of workers, and a mature distribution system.

In this case, how did the gray geese, as a group of barbarians with no technology, no workers, and no caravans, support such an industry?

It turns out that the gray goose is just a big family with a mine, and it is the Terrans who are really responsible for the mining, the Terrans who are responsible for technical support, and the Terrans who are responsible for distribution.

After the Terrans mined and sold, they gave the gray goose a share, and the gray goose used this share as the start-up capital and food fund for the black scale horse trade on the Galloping Horse Plain, and made greater profits by monopolizing the black scale horse trade with the Dragon Kingdom, and even the ironclad trade, so as to buy off the various tribes in the south of the entire Galloping Horse Plain.

From this point of view, perhaps the Salt Iron Division and the Blue Dragon Family are the biggest supporters of the gray geese's southward movement this time.

However, the Imperial Salt and Iron Division is one of the most core departments of the empire, and the Blue Dragon Family is the national pillar family with a legendary duke in the Dragon Kingdom, both of which have legends to rely on, and he is afraid that no one can do it, even if he goes to the royal capital or the imperial capital, it is impossible to sue the royal court, at most, he takes advantage of the gray goose's own death, and replaces him with the name of the galloping horse tribe to become the owner of the salt mine, and re-follow the old path of the gray goose tribe, exchanging salt for food, and exchanging black scale horses for gold coins.

However, Rand still didn't know why it was necessary to start a war since the Grey Goose tribe had gone from a nomadic tribe to a mining tycoon. Isn't he happy to sit at home and watch the slaves mine for themselves?

"Lord Rand, do you want to see our ledger" Rand's thoughts drifted away, and Makoto didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ah, oh, no, just have a rough number."

"So, I want to know, did your priest teacher tell you why the Grey Goose tribe went south earlier this year?"

Wendy looked at the girl beside her, "The teacher said that Lord Touyan listened to the bewitchment of the temple boss. ”

"The Former Division?" Rand had heard the term for the first time.

"The front division of the palace!" But Makoto has a deep impression of the temple front division, in the eyes of the nobles, the palace front division is a group of people who can't rise to the legend, every day hollowing out the heart to steal the property and resources of the great nobles, this gang aims to destroy the aristocratic tradition.

After listening to Zhenqin's evaluation, Rand compared the palace front division to the secret service of the emperor's inner servants in the ancient dynasty of his hometown, and it was a tool to maintain imperial power.

However, Rand didn't quite understand, if the emperor himself was a god, then all the power belonged to himself, so why should he want the secret service to maintain the imperial power? Isn't it good to split lightning yourself?

Wendy told Rand that before the leader of the Grey Goose set out, he had already determined that Baron Galloping Horse and Viscount Lot would not be able to stop him, and that Count Maned Wolf would only stand idly by in the face of Roth's attack, and even Count Maned Wolf himself would fight against Grey Goose, and the other nobles of the dragon would not care.

Rand didn't expect that there was another force that could grasp the contradictions between the nobles so well, and could weaken the nobles with precise planning and meticulous actions.

Rand guessed that this palace leader might have taken a fancy to the current Galloping Horse Plain, otherwise he would not have risked the world's condemnation and instigated the barbarians to invade the human race.

If Rand doesn't want to be crushed by this powerful force, the best way is to unify the entire Galloping Plain and completely block the external force from the ground.

Interested, Rand chatted with Wendy and the girls, asking why they were sold here.

Rand knew that for the Dragon Kingdom, female demon supporters were even rarer, whether it was a nobleman or a commoner, once a girl appeared in the family to stimulate the bloodline, it would be reported to the higher nobles by the local lord as an important political achievement, and finally, the royal capital Dragon's Tooth City would gather these girls and send them to the magic school of Dragon's Tooth City or several duke's cities for intensive study.

These girls usually end up being the daughters-in-law of large families, so Rand doesn't understand why they were sold here.

"There's an aristocratic girl who says I seduced her fiancé," Wendy said lightly, with a certain maturity on the 17-year-old's face.

"Oh" Rand was not interested in gossip about the Dragon King, and after arriving in this world, he couldn't remember the names of the knights around him, and he didn't want to remember those who he wouldn't meet in a few hundred years.

The experience of the other girls is similar, they are all after entering the royal capital school, they are pursued by some children of the big nobles, but they don't get the plot of the big heroine, and they are expelled from the school by jealous noble girls in various names, and then they are abducted and trafficked here.

"Since witch girls aren't common among dragons, why sell them here?" Rand did not understand the values of the dragon nobles.

"Just because it's rare, I have to find a way to exile.

Murdering a demon bearer is a serious crime, and the gods can find the murderer after the death of the believer, cast a curse, and the judicial department can find it and directly convict him, so no matter how much hatred there is between demon supporters, they cannot kill the killer.

Female demon supporters are rare, and they can't be killed, so it's very likely that they will rely on the big family to take revenge in the future, so many families will sell the losers in the family struggle to the Galloping Horse Plain.

On the one hand, there is less resentment without a dead hand, and on the other hand, there is a magical turbulence on the plains of the galloping horse, which will block the communication between the gods and the believers. ”

Makoto knows the nobility of the dragon very well, and although she was plundered here at a very young age, she has always kept an eye on the dragon kingdom.

"No wonder" Rand finally knew why Viscount Lot borrowed the Grey Goose Tribe to kill him, but Viscount Roth didn't know that he was actually an atheist, otherwise Rott would have personally faced the trouble.

"Our galloping horse territory will be your home in the future, and now there are basically no female demon supporters in the camp, and there are no mages or priests who can teach you, but I believe that this situation will change soon, you are now in my core tent for the next few days, and I will find a way to let you enter and leave the camp freely in a few days."

"Yes, sir," the girls replied.

"Rest early," Rand said casually, and left the tent.

Wendy looked at the girls around her in wonder, but she didn't expect Rand to leave like this.

"I'll just say it," Makoto probably knew what a few girls thought, "Lord Rand is not one of those lords you meet, he has great ambitions and noble conduct, and he will not do anything to a little girl like you." ”

In fact, Rand does not think that he has grand ambitions and noble conduct, but as a person who is about to have a wedding before the time travel, he can still dream of his fiancée from time to time, and dream of various scenes when he met her on a blind date for the first time.

Rand didn't know when he would truly fit into the world, but now, he couldn't bear the memories of the past.
