Chapter 131: Caravans and Emissaries
"Miss Kassandra, ahead is the town of Phumisius, the place where the Ravenfeather Prophet is sheltered."
Madison respectfully introduced the place ahead to the beautiful woman in uniform riding on the bird lizard.
"I've been here many times, this is the fourth, and every time I come here I find it better than the previous one."
"When the barbarians on the road found out that we were here, they not only did not take our money, but also provided us with food and water, hoping that we would bring their families here."
Kassandra held the reins in both hands and looked at the nearby wheat field.
The wheat in the vicinity has turned from green to yellow and will not take a few days to be harvested.
The wheat fields here are well organized, and the large areas of land are very well planned, especially the wheat that bears ears is much heavier than the wheat in the south, and you can feel the weight of this autumn just by looking at it.
After the arrival of the Ravenfeather Prophet in this land, the northern realm of what should have been a land of ice and barrenness became rich.
The land grew endless wheat and herds of sheep and cattle, and everyone put on new clothes and sang songs of praise to the prophet.
As Kassandra's party approached the town, a cavalry contingent came from the town and drove on an eight-meter-wide road in the middle of a wheat field.
The cavalry stopped fifty meters from here, and the leader dismounted from the Dom sheep and approached it with his shield.
"Where did you come from? Is it the first time you've come? ”
When Madison heard this, he quickly shouted, "We are a caravan of the Southern Archinese family, and we have been here three times!" ”
When Beov heard that it was from the family of the old saying, he came and said, "It is easy to know someone you know, please come with us, for the first caravans have recently come to do business, and the Prophet has asked us to greet the polite merchants." ”
Madison and the others followed Beoff inside, and the sheep cavalry in front also went back to the town on their own.
Kassandra rode into the town on a bird lizard.
A wooden fence was erected, and when you entered the multi-guarded entrance, you could see the buildings inside the town.
Unlike the primitive thatched huts you see on the road, the buildings here are taller and more neat, and two- or three-story wooden houses can be seen everywhere.
These huts were not built randomly, they were simply covered with wood and thatch, and each piece of wood was a delicate piece of wood rather than dirty wood with bark.
The neat wooden houses look different in size, but they are located together to give a sense of patchwork.
From the entrance, you can see the building on both sides, with various shops on the left and right.
There are taverns with sake barrels, clothing shops with scissor motifs, pharmacies with paintings of medicine bottles and herbs, and bakeries with pictures of steaming bread.
Inside, you'll find weapons shops, jewelry stores, book stores, grocery stores, and a few doorways that you don't have time to see.
Fifty meters in front of the road is the location of the Colossus of Crowfeather, from which you can see the magnificent giant.
Walking to the front and back of the Colossus, you can see that this is a roundabout, and there is a nearly bustling street on the left and right.
Kassandra and the others placed their weapons in the weapons storage point beneath the Colossus, where there were rows of shelves and cabinets, and guards with weapons in their hands guarded and patrolled.
After placing her weapon, Kassandra went to a nearby tavern to wait.
The tavern was very lively, there were many people drinking and gambling cards, and there were also people watching or chatting with the women in the tavern.
Kassandra quickly found a place to sit down, and it wasn't long before a woman came over to ask.
"What do you want to eat? This is the menu. A barbarian girl who had come to work handed over a wooden plank the size of a shoebox.
Kassandra knew the language, but not the words.
However, when I saw the menu, I found that there was not much text on it.
There were bread, meat, bean soup, and other things on it, and some things that were not clear, but the ale was easy to identify.
"Whatever you want." Kassandra ordered food casually.
Soon bread and ale were served, as well as wine.
Kassandra broke the hot bread, which was free of sand, grass roots, wood chips, and stones that looked like beans.
After carefully pinching it, Kassandra carefully tore the bread and ate it with water.
After all, this is not their own manor, and even in the cities of the Southern Kingdom, you must eat with such care, otherwise it is easy to be knocked to the teeth by the bread you buy casually.
For witches who are not able to recover, it is a troublesome thing to break their teeth.
After more than an hour, Lawrence rode the black unicorn into the elevated tavern.
The intrusion of the black unicorn made everyone in the tavern quickly vigilant.
This was Kassandra's first meeting with the Ravenfeather Prophet.
But there is no doubt that the young man riding on the black unicorn in front of him is Lawrence, the Raven Feather Prophet, and the owner of this land.
"Prophet!"
The barbarians behind Kassandra who hadn't come for an hour to look for trouble saluted the man respectfully and excitedly.
The excitement was not the voice of ordinary people when they treated the aristocracy, but more like the excitement of an ordinary person when they treated the kind of admirers who were full of honor.
Lawrence quickly locked onto Kassandra and the others on one side of the tavern wall.
Kassandra also bowed her head politely, "I am Kassandra of the family of Archiers, and I have come from the far south to convey greetings to you, mighty prophet. ”
Lawrence said, "Welcome to my territory for the fourth time, this is not a good place to talk, you come with me, Alalie, you take these people to the inn to rest, and explain the rules here." ”
The black unicorn quickly turned around and went out, and Lawrence left the tavern directly.
Kassandra soon followed alone.
Lawrence also has a residence in the town of Peumitheus, a quiet place behind this town near the mountains.
Usually there is no one living here, so this time I went directly to the temporary office of the church.
Lawrence rode into the spacious, bright, carpeted office and closed the door when Kassandra, dressed as a knightess, entered.
Lawrence quickly walked over to the cabinet to pour his drink, and the black unicorn lay on the ground and began to recover.
"I've been building a boat at the port of Ferry by the sea for a while, and when I heard you coming, I came straight from there, so sit down and rest for a while, and then we'll go to my place to entertain you."
Lawrence walked over to the couch and sat down, handing Kassandra a glass of wine standing across from her.
Kassandra sat across from Lawrence, took Lawrence's wine and said, "I never thought that the Raven Feather Prophet, who has a powerful legend, would be such a handsome man. ”
Lawrence was accustomed to hearing compliments, and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, the previous gift to the family of the ancient speaker was not fully prepared because I was busy at the time, are you still satisfied?" ”
Catherine had reverted to her original form, and was now meekly seated at Lawrence's feet, lying on Lawrence's lap.
Although Catherine looked very wrong at this point, Kassandra didn't want to anger the wizard.
"Our family is pleased with the Prophet's gift, and we are glad that Catherine can marry you and merge the bloodline of the Ancient Whisperer family with the bloodline of the wizards of the North."
Lawrence said: "In the last few years, I have been busy dealing with the Western Kingdom, and I have killed more than a dozen wizards in the West, both pure-blooded and half-blooded, and I have also collected a lot of treasures, you can choose a few to bring back." ”
Kassandra politely said, "Thank you, merciful prophet. ”
Catherine said to Kassandra at this time: "This is much better than the Archievist's Manor, and Lawrence likes me too, sister, do you want to stay with us?" ”
Kassandra felt the fear and lowered her head and said, "There's still something for me to do on my father's side, and now the Archidon family is fighting with the wizards of the eastern city. ”
When Catherine heard this, she said casually: "Then forget it, next time you come over, bring some orc slaves, Lawrence is very interested in these." ”
Lawrence said, "Yes, it is better to be a good-tempered, obedient orc. ”
Kassandra discovers that Catherine's attitude towards Lawrence doesn't look like she's been controlled, and it's not like the attitude of pets and owners.
Lawrence quickly asked, "Did you bring the Holy Light Orb this time?" I need this treasure very much here. ”
Kassandra replied, "Yes, in addition to the Orbs of Light there are books and clothing, porcelain, spices, and hides. ”
Lawrence rejoiced, "Good, so what do you want?" I said I could talk about anything I could find. ”
Kassandra felt that she had misunderstood, and that the wizard seemed to be as eloquent as she had been rumored.
"I heard that an Earth Storm Bear was killed here, and there is a wizard in our south who needs the bear bile of the Earth Storm Bear, and he wants the gall of an adult Earth Storm Bear."
Lawrence said, "Yes, there are just a few more, what else is needed besides this?"
Kassandra quickly talks to Lawrence about business, and Lawrence pays him handsomely for the trip.
After the business was settled, Lawrence stood up and said, "Let's go to the mountains, and I'm going to give you a banquet tonight." ”
Kassandra smiled, "Well, thank you, Prophet. ”
Lawrence smiled, "It's okay to call me Lawrence when there is no one else, the prophet is just one of my positions." ”
"Okay, Lawrence." Kassandra felt that Lawrence was very talkative, the best pure-blood wizard to talk to.
Soon Catherine turned into a black unicorn.
Kassandra took the initiative and said, "I'll go back and find my birds, or I won't be able to keep up with you." ”
Lawrence stood next to the black unicorn and invited, "It's okay, you can go up with me, it's nothing." ”
Kassandra looked surprised, but at Lawrence's invitation, she quickly rode on the back of the black unicorn.
Lawrence also rolled over his horse and quickly hugged the female knight in front of him.
The black unicorn quickly left the church and ran briskly up the hill.
Lawrence and Kassandra, who were sitting on the back of the black unicorn, quickly tightened tighter.
But nothing was done, and the unicorn was back on the hill in a few minutes.
Lawrence soon entertains Kassandra with a sumptuous dinner, and the witch whose special ability is memory quickly falls in love with it.
Especially after Catherine introduced her to the various kinds of life here every day, she felt that this place was better than the south.
Abundant food, a wealthy population, and vast land.
Best of all, there are more witch companions here!
A peaceful place where you don't have to worry about being hurt by a wizard or being killed by the rest of the wizards!
After eating and bathing, Lawrence and the seven witches lay down in the lounge next to the bathroom.
In front of him was the Dark Elf maid who was in charge of pinching her feet.
Kassandra lay on the bed opposite Lawrence, lying half-leaning on the head of the bed, and at the same time proposed to Lawrence, who was lying opposite:
"There are eight people here, only seven gray elf maids, and I will send five more gray elf maids over next time I come."
Lawrence didn't feel the need for it, because the bath times were inconsistent, and now both Loshanda and Kehalan were lying quietly resting.
Lawrence had a leg press at his feet, and his body was leaning on Candace's arms, allowing Candace to wipe her face with a wet towel and moisturize her skin.
"Are there many gray elves in the Archidon family?" Lawrence felt that the Grey Elves were better suited to these Dark Elves, they weren't pitch black.
Kassandra explained, "There weren't many, but after the rest of the wizarding families were broken, we bought these gray elves. ”
Lawrence was curious: "The wizarding families in the South are also in decline?" After I attacked the Western Kingdom, the wizards there were not useful and did not show terrifying power, resulting in the Western Kingdom being very unfriendly to wizards now. ”
"However, the Western Kingdom has been frightened by us, and will send an envoy to sue for peace before the autumn."
Lawrence's three-year-old style of play really scared the Western Kingdom.
He was cooked three times a year, and with the unauthorized actions of the Vakiri and the Rofen Kingdom, he matured five or six times a year.
Especially this year, the kingdom of Deco was first sacked by the barbarians who were pressed out by the snow disaster, and then in order to take revenge on the whole country, he sent three wizards and a number of knights to form five hundred elite soldiers to sneak attack, and most of the dead and wounded on the way finally arrived here, and they were all wiped out.
After that, Lawrence took revenge again, and threatened to beat the king without seeking peace, and killed the king.
There are more than 300,000 people in the kingdom of Deco, which is equivalent to the population of a county town, and thousands of adult men have died in this area in a year, so there is no courage to continue fighting.
The Kingdom of Durella didn't want to fight, although everyone did have the idea of occupying this rich land at first, but Lawrence showed the power of his fist in time to dispel some people's thoughts.
After peace, the Western Kingdom will deal with the useless wizard nobles within it.
Whoever can resist the invasion of the barbarians is a military nobleman, and the wizard nobleman who did not stand up at a critical moment is not to blame others for questioning and provoking.
Once they discover that wizards are not invincible, these wizard nobles are out of luck.
Most wizards, especially male wizards, are cruel and withdrawn, and there will definitely be no shortage of offended people.
Kassandra sighed, "I am fascinated by your strength, and if my family could be as strong as you, the Chamber of Commerce would not be troubled by all kinds of nobles and robbers." ”
"When I traveled north with my caravan to the kingdom of Loven, especially after entering the territory of Stahl, the roads here were so clear that I felt like I was back in the city of Quirazi."
Lawrence said, "I have spoken to Earl Steel, and I will give him some weapons and food and ale every year in exchange for his permission to you. ”
"I see!" Kassandra exclaimed, "You are such a merciful wizard. ”
Lawrence was not merciful to the people of the Western Kingdom.
In order to protect their territories before the barbarians go south, the Western Kingdom finally arrived at Ferry Harbor by speedboat.
Early the next morning, Lawrence, who had finished going to the bathroom, wiped his butt with a wet paper towel, pulled down the bucket above, and flushed the dirty things out of the toilet.
As soon as she stepped out to wash her hands in the sink, Candace quickly walked over.
"Master, the envoys of the Hokuriku Kingdom, the Kogiac Kingdom, the Haisenli Kingdom, the Deco Kingdom, the Durella Kingdom, the Gran Kingdom, the Io Kingdom, and the Green Forest Kingdom have arrived." (End of chapter)
