Although he didn't possess the perverted powers of observation like Raschel, Huey could still see the knight's expression change when he saw the wind feathers in his hand.

Xiu Yi immediately realized that these few wind feathers might cause him unnecessary trouble, so he hurriedly said, "But when it comes to help, I do have some questions I want to ask. Can you tell me what kind of bird feathers I have on my hands?"

The knight was stunned, and Xiu Yi had already said, "These are the two birds that have just flown away, and I see that they are very beautiful, with bright plumage, and beautiful calls, but I have never seen them." The Gascohen family is well-informed and must know. ”

"So, you picked up these feathers?"

"Yes, they're beautiful, aren't they?" Shue turned the wind feather in his hand indifferently, and he could see greed in the knight's eyes.

When he learned that Feng Yu was picked up by the young man in front of him, the knight's mood was greatly relaxed. Wind crows are not something that anyone can catch, they fly high in the air, and they are the demonic beasts of the wind system, and the people who can catch them, each of them is an extraordinary person with great skills. Even the Gascoen family, who have a license to capture Warcraft, have always wanted to get a pair of wind crows, but they have never been able to get their wish.

Nowadays, on the market, a wind feather has been fried to a high price of hundreds of Jinvite, and if it is sold to the east and north two big 6, the price can skyrocket tenfold.

In other words, the wind feather in Xiuyi's hand is worth a lot of money.

"It's just a kind of wind-based migratory bird, it's not a big deal, you are rare and weird. The knight replied with a cold attitude.

"I see. Huey smiled and nodded.

"But these feathers are really beautiful, why don't you give them to me, and I can pay you a gold for them." ”

Huey was speechless, if the greeting from the Gascoen family had made him a little fond of it, now the knight's words made him very disgusted. Even if he doesn't know the market of Nanda 6, doesn't he know the market of Peking University 6? Even if Nanda 6 has a wind crow, he believes that it will never be able to flood to the point of worthlessness.

People are always willing to give small favors, but they can't stand the test in the face of the temptation of huge benefits. It is as possible for the most greedy profiteers in the world to put a few dollars in a beggar's bowl, but that does not hide their greedy nature. What Huey wasn't sure was that he didn't know if it was just the greed of the individual knights, or if it was the case with the entire team.

So Xiu Yi said lightly: "I'm sorry, I like these feathers, and I don't plan to sell them." ”

"If you don't have a lot of money, I can add some more for you. ”

"I'm sorry, that's not about the money. Xiu Yi made an aristocratic salute, which implied that he was a noble boy, probably out to travel, and that people like them were not short of money.

This made the knight a little helpless, if the other party was a civilian, he would rob it, and if the other party was a poacher, he could even kill the other party.

But this young man was well-dressed and spoke calmly, and it was obvious that he was a well-educated child of a family, so he had to be careful.

If you get into some big trouble for a few wind feathers, it's not worth it.

After thinking about it, the knight asked Xiuyi, "Since you don't want to sell, forget it." By the way, we're going to Raven City, how about you?"

Raven City is a transit city in the Baoqin Plain, mainly to provide services for merchants, is an important distribution center for alchemical materials, and its status is quite similar to the city of Royo in the Reims Empire. Before Xiu Yi came, he also did some knowledge of Nanda 6, so he knew about this place. A species of aquatic raven is abundant there, and in the summer, flocks of ravens fly off the water and flutter over the city, hence the name Raven City.

At this moment, the corners of Xiuyi's mouth twitched slightly: "That's really a coincidence, I'm also going to Raven City." ”

"In that case, why don't we go on the road together? You must know that the Baoqin Plain is not a peaceful place, and there are all kinds of people here. With us, you can get the best protection. ”

After bowing his head and pondering for a while, Xiu Yi finally nodded: "Okay, I agree." ”

"So, what's your name, and where are you from?" asked the knight skillfully.

Huey replied, "Hines." ”

He did not say his last name, which bankrupted the knight's attempt to find out which family he came from.

——————————

"Are you sure that the boy picked it up and not somehow got it?" the old man's expression was serious.

"No, sir, that's what the boy said himself. What made me wonder was why he directly rejected my purchase request since he didn't know the value of Wind Feather. Although he himself claimed that he was not short of money, even the children of the nobility would not really think that he was not short of money. What is especially strange is that this noble son appeared alone on the grassland. ”

"It's weird, but it seems to me that we might as well divide this into two parts. One, those few wind feathers were obtained by him with his own strength, which means that this young man is very powerful, but at the same time he let go of the wind crow, which shows that he is not a greedy and bloodthirsty guy, so we don't have to worry too much about him. Second, the Wind Crow met their natural predators and was injured in the fight, and the boy picked up the falling Wind Feather, which shows that he is a lucky man, but that's all, we don't need to pay too much attention to him. ”

"You're right, then, Mr. Triman, which do you think is more likely to be greater. ”

"I hope it's the former, but I think the latter is more likely. To be honest, I haven't heard of any young man in NTU 6 who has the strength to easily catch wind crows and let them go after picking off a few feathers. Not everyone can have such ability, and even fewer can have such a bearing. ”

"That's true, sir. ”

"Well, let him follow the car. He's not a threat to us in every way, is he's not willing to sell Wind Feather to us...... To be honest, it's just a few, and there's no need to use deception. Clark, you're just not good at that, you're too cheap, remember, a person's bearing determines his achievements. If the teenager doesn't want to sell, forget it. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

The knight retreated a little disheartened, he had hoped that Mr. Triman would allow him to use some small tricks to get the wind feather from the young man, but he did not expect the old man to refuse.

In his opinion, this is a god-sent wealth, that young man does not deserve to have the precious wind feather at all, since the old man is unwilling, then maybe he should think of some way to solve this problem. This made him ignore the other of the two possibilities that the old man had mentioned, that is, if the boy had obtained the wind feathers himself, it meant that it was not someone he could provoke at all. Greed makes people short-sighted, and Knight Clark ignores the hidden meaning behind this possibility, while the old man does not.

That's why he's the leader of this convoy, and Knight Clark can only saddle up and do his bidding.

There are still three days to go to Raven City.

During this time, Huey got to know the team in general terms.

The Gascohens are a large merchant family from the province of Derek in the Sierra Empire, located in the area of the Blue-Eared Jungle, so named because of the abundance of a species of blue-eared rabbit that is the main source of meat in the province and is matched by a thriving rabbit fur business.

The Gascoen family traveled back and forth to Raven City several times a year, transporting rabbit fur, rabbit meat, and blue cedar from Derrick Province to Raven City, which was relatively lacking in other resources except for alchemy resources, and also captured and purchased a large number of alchemical materials, and then transported them to Peking University6, and then exchanged for special goods there, and then transported back to Derrick Province. In a business like this, they can make millions of dollars just by doing it once a year. It is inconceivable that the source of the commodities used to obtain the million-dollar gold Werther fortune is the ordinary goods that Huey has seen in this convoy so far...... Rabbit fur, rabbit meat, blue cedar, a small amount of alchemy materials collected along the way, and some gold coins. The Gascoen family used these seemingly inconspicuous goods to obtain huge profits through layers of geographical differences.

The advantage of this kind of windfall profit is that it costs less and the return on investment is huge, but this business model also has huge risks. Almost all of the Gascohen's profits were generated during the long journey, they had to cross half of the Big 6, transport the goods of the Big 6 to the other, and then have to be very careful when dealing with foreign people, because there they could be eaten by some greedy bastard at any time, and when they returned, they had to go through the risk of crossing the ocean again, and then cross half of the 6 back to their land.

The Gascoen family sends about ten of these convoys a year, but only one or two are able to make it back, and the rest either disappear into the ocean or encounter bandits, and then return empty-handed. Even so, the Gasconn family still relied on the huge interests behind it to quickly become one of the big business families in the Sierra Empire.

Mr. Triman, the leader of this convoy, as an experienced leader of the merchant group, knows a truth: good intentions may not necessarily be rewarded, but malice will definitely attract evil rewards. So he never takes the initiative to cause trouble, the Gascoen family's business profits are large enough, and the family needs to consider not how to further increase profits, but how to further increase security and ensure the success rate of transactions. Because of this, Mr. Triman would never incur unnecessary trouble for himself because of a small profit. It is also his prudence and wisdom that enabled him to successfully complete three round-trip trips to the north and south of the big 6, and became the most valued leader of the family.

From this point of view, Huey quickly concluded that he should not be in trouble with this caravan.

Of course, there are some things that cannot be fully predicted by ingenuity alone.

—————————————

When night fell, the caravan rested in a mountain nest.

Huey lit a bonfire alone.

Not far from him, the knights of the Gascoen family's convoy were gathering to drink heavily. Some of the maids brought them fresh barbecue, and a few knights who had drunk too much even took the opportunity to do something to the maids, and the maids were not angry, but just laughed and scolded a few times and then left with their skirts.

At the other end of the convoy, someone was playing bagpipes, and it was the coachmen and porters who were eating together.

Although they and the knights belonged to the same convoy, they belonged to two worlds, the former being a lowly being, and the latter being much more noble.

Unlike Peking University 6, the status of the middle and low-level samurai here is obviously slightly higher.

"It looks like you don't like to be busy. A voice rang out behind Huey.

Huey looked back, then he stood up, "Mr. Triman." ”

"Oh, you're welcome, sit down, young man. Triman said with a laugh.

He sat down beside Xiu Yi and raised the tin flask in his hand: "Bring some rum? Peking University 6's specialty is not easy to drink." ”

"Thank you. Huey took the liquor that Triman had poured for him from the teacup in his hand.

I didn't expect that he had just arrived at NTU 6, and he actually drank back the wine of NTU 6, which made him a little ridiculous, if he could, he would rather taste the local specialties here.

"So...... Are you sure you don't plan to be with them?" asked Triman as the old man looked kind and kind.

Xiui shrugged: "I'm not the same kind of person as them. ”

Whether it was a coachman or a samurai, Huey was inherently alien to them.

"That's right, then...... Now, young man, since we're all walking together, maybe you can tell me where you came from? Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not suspicious of anything. As an old man, I've been traveling for many years. I know that there are some people who don't like to be asked about themselves, but I also know that sometimes it's easier to get the other person's friendship by saying it straight to the point. I can see that you are a well-bred young man, so you have made me interested in you. ”

"I totally understand. Huey replied seriously, "In that case, you can call me Heinstrick." ”

"Stricker?" Triman was a little surprised: "In Nanda 6, I have never heard of such a family, but in Peking University 6, there is a famous Stricker family. ”

Xiui smiled and didn't say anything.

This made Triman a little confused about the details of the young man in front of him.

After thinking about it, he said, "So...... There's one thing I have to tell you about those feathers you get during the day. ”

"They are wind feathers, from wind crows. The Wind Raven is a ninth-level elemental bird, a wind-based demonic beast, and is the fastest elemental bird in the world, and it is far more difficult to catch them than to kill them. Xiu Yi said lightly.

"You know?" Triman was surprised.

"It's just that I've never seen a wind crow before, but I've heard of it all the time. When I entered the convoy at noon, someone said that I was lucky enough to get wind feathers, so I knew what these feathers represented. ”

"I see. Triman understood: "I must apologize to you, Clark made a mistake, as a knight, he shouldn't have deceived you." ”

"It doesn't matter. Huey replied.

Sitting in front of the fire, he looked at the knights who were drinking. A group of samurai were sitting together, talking about something.

The knight captain, named Clark, glanced back at him every now and then.

It can be seen that his eyes are very unkind.
