The Trom camp in the drizzle looked so messy, with huge granite stone strips forming the general outline of the camp, and in addition to a row of wooden granaries in the center, surrounded by some marching tents made of raw cowhides, a bonfire burning in the drizzle, and a faint vapor steaming around.A group of barbarians dug trenches on the outskirts of the camp, and the rain poured on their slightly pale muscular skin, revealing a porcelain-white light, and they were covered with black and blue tattoos, like clumps of weeds, and they carried jet-black shiny pickaxes and shovels in their hands, and stood in the muddy trenches and worked hard.In the corner of the camp were stored several large wooden cages like huts, each cage contained a giant spider, their size was huge, curled up in the cage and shivering in the rain, two giant spiders had their legs cut off by people, like a meat dumpling lying lifeless in the wooden cage, if it were not for the ten frightened eyes still moving, maybe I would have thought that the two giant spiders were dead.Some of the leftover spider legs were thrown messily next to the fire, and at this time there was a large black iron pot next to the fire, and most of the pot of cereal porridge in it looked to be cold, and the rain kept falling inside.Captain Dick followed behind Justes, still able to maintain his due composure.The members of the adventuring group trembled as they followed Captain Dick into the Trump camp, and they watched the barbarians walking around the camp, and even their breathing became much lighter.Cassandra was at the back of the group, and although she looked very nervous, her eyes flashed with calm and wisdom, and she carefully watched each of the barbarian slaves, and was slightly relieved to find that the barbarian slaves were as oblivious to the entry of the party members as if they were air.She reached out and touched the head of the Gubolai horse, soothing her mount."
These barbarian slaves don't seem to be hostile to us, but we can't let our guard down, if we really fight, you must follow me, don't run away!"
Cassandra whispered to me and Katarina."
Okay, got it!"
I readily agreed.She glanced at the Shura axe hanging on my horse's back, frowned slightly, and said, "You look so thin, you are not suitable for holding a bulky blunt weapon like an axe, and there is a chance to change to a weapon like a long sword scimitar, which will be more convenient when you escape." ”"I'm a fan of axes."
I whispered to Cassandra.Cassandra glanced at me, a hint of displeasure in her pale blue eyes.She stretched out a finger, tapped my forehead in the air, and said to me, "Don't be so willful all the time, you will hurt your sister like this." ”Hearing Cassandra say this, I shrugged my shoulders indifferently.Standing on the sidelines, Caterina had half of her face hidden under her hood, and I could clearly see her sexy lips curved slightly.The dwarf Bernd's tent was next to a granary, and he had set up a makeshift canopy outside the tent, under which a set of tables and chairs was set up, and he sat peacefully on the chairs, two strong barbarian slaves on the left and right.Justes stepped forward and communicated with the dwarf Bernd, I was standing at the back of the line, I couldn't hear what they were talking about, it seemed that they were negotiating the price of the deal, Cassandra looked at the huge granary full of sacks, and said to Katarina: "Katarina, did you say that these granaries are full of grain?"
”Caterina looked at Ruka, the minotaur who was sleeping in the shack not far away, and whispered to Cassandra, "It should be!
”Cassandra looked at the granaries with some eyes, and said with emotion: "I have long heard that after the Trump stronghold was captured by the spider people, a batch of military supplies was hidden by an old quartermaster in the cave behind the Trump stronghold, but it is also rumored that when the Duke of Samoyed led the army to operate in the area of Tanton City, he had already taken out the military supplies, and I really didn't expect that there was so much food left." ”"No matter what, as long as this grain is moved to Tanton City, the food crisis in Tanton City will be lifted!"
Cassandra licked her lips and said to Katerina and me."
Cassandra, Cassandra, Captain Dick called you over!"
One of the party members standing under the canopy shouted at the back of the group.Cassandra was whispering to us when she heard someone calling out to him and immediately agreed, "I'm coming!"
”Then she put the reins of the horse into my hand and said solemnly to me, "Keep an eye on it for me, and don't let it run around, and be careful not to be eaten by the savages." ”With that, Cassandra stepped into the muddy water and ran to the front.The Adventure Band's Dick Leader buys food from the dwarven leader Captain Bernd at Camp Trem.The transaction process was very smooth, the price of the grain was set by Bernd and I in advance, and each silver coin could be exchanged for ten catties of wheat, and if the members of the party were able to successfully transport the wheat back to Tanton City, the profit could be increased by five times, such a huge profit was already rare for the Seven Trees Adventure Party.Each of the Kubolai horses had two sacks of wheat on their backs, and for fear that the wheat would be wet from the rain, the sacks were covered with a piece of hard cowhide to protect them from the rain, and Cassandra stood in the canopy, and wrote down a string of numbers on each sack with charcoal, and wrote them down in a parchment booklet.The gray canopy seemed to be stabbed, and the rain kept falling, and most of the members of the party were drenched in soup, and they gathered around the campfire to roast the fire, but they were frightened by the spider hard carapace all over the ground, and hurriedly led their Gubo horses, and honestly stood in the rain and waited in line.It wasn't until he received his share of food from the canopy that he led the Gubolai horses out of the Trum camp.The members of the party would rather stand under the trees outside the camp in the rain than wait inside the camp.Cassandra kept a record of the food in the canopy from beginning to end, and finally it was Katerina's turn to walk up with the Guborema on the horse, and when we looked embarrassed in the rain in our ponchos, Bernd always had a look that wanted to laugh, but the awkward scene of laughter did not happen.In the end, Cassandra saw the two barbarian slaves guarding Bernde's side, and personally helped Caterina and me tie the sacks to the Guborema that we were leading, and stood aside with the account book in her hand and whispered to Caterina with laughter: "I have always heard that the barbarians of the Northern Province are particularly cruel, and even eat people when they are hungry. ”I stood in the canopy and smiled at Cassandra and said, "Maybe they have been slaves for too long, and their murderous nature is slowly being domesticated!"
”Cassandra glared at me unappreciatively, took the reins of the Guborai horse from Katerina's hand, put it in my hand, and said to me with a straight face: "Lead your horse well"" The dwarf Bernd and the barbarian slave next to him looked at Cassandra with strange expressions, and the young Bernar swordswoman unconsciously picked up the account book in her hand, and made two heavy notes on it with a quill pen, and when all the team members had received the food, the head of the Dick regiment paid Bernd a sum of silver.Caterina and I then left Camp Trump with the Seven Trees Adventure Group and set out on our way back to Tanton City.The Nebru spider-men were driven out of the Trum region by Bernd and the Barbarian Slave Army, and the beasts in the jungle were also hunted down by the Nibru spider-men, and the birds in the jungle hid in their nests when it rained, so there was hardly a ghost shadow to be seen on the way from Tanton City to Camp Trum.On the way here, the members of the adventure group were still worried, and the atmosphere on the way back was much more relaxed, and the members of the adventure group talked about the adventure in a low voice while getting drenched in the rain, originally thinking that the journey would be a little dangerous, but they didn't expect that the calm along the way made people feel a little incredible.Before we knew it, we walked out of the jungle in the drizzle and came to a large meadow south of Tanton City, and the outline of Tanton City gradually became clear in the rain.Captain Dick put his arm around Justes' shoulders, and his expression of pleasure could not be concealed.The members of the adventuring party began to look for Cassandra one after another, so they didn't bother to ask about the wheat in the sack, and they were entangled for a while.Caterina and I led the Guboren horses to the back of the line, and as we watched the jubilant scene up and down the line, Caterina asked me, "Do we want to walk around with them one more time?"
”I shook my head and said, "I don't have that much time to spend here!"
We'll be back to the imperial capital later. ”Caterina asked with some concern, "Has the power of thunder and lightning in your body recovered?"
”"It's just the two of us, no problem."
I looked up at the rain in the sky and smiled at Caterina and said, "Don't forget, it's my home field on a rainy day like this." ”"There are only fifty people carrying grain, and I don't know when we will be able to transport those wheat to Tanton City!"
Caterina said worriedly.I said to Katerina, "Look at it!
There were only fifty people coming this time, and the next trip should be about twice as many people, after all, it was a five-fold profiteering, and the next time they set off, if they were smart, they should hire a few magic caravans. ”After entering the city, Captain Dick wanted to invite us to the black market and sell the grain at a high price.I politely declined, and Justus, knowing that I was about to leave Hierro with Caterina, came running to say goodbye to me.I took the opportunity to tell Justus to find a way to increase the size of the grain transport team, so that the price of food in Tanton City could be lowered.In addition, he has to find a way to hire some civilians in the city who can't afford to buy food, and let them work in the Trump camp, but there is no need to be too anxious about this, even if those civilians starve to death in the city, they probably won't dare to go out of the city to work, so let them watch the grain transportation team go back and forth with Tanton City in the Trump camp a few times, let them see that the outside of the city is not as dangerous as they think, and they can probably eliminate the fear in their hearts.I also asked Justus to tell Bernd not to take the Barbarian Slave Warband out of the range of the War Ancient Tree Lord's aura, and to stay on this side honestly for the time being, the Barbarian Slave Warband is only invincible under the cover of the War Ancient Tree aura.After that, he led Gubolema and Caterina out of the party and returned to Mr.
Billy's hotel.We led the horse to Mr.
Billy's hotel, and Mr.
Billy recognized me at a glance from the hotel, and he trotted out of the front desk, and personally pushed open the door of the hotel, and ordered the young waiter to lead me and Caterina's Guboraima to the backyard, and Mr.
Billy's third young wife came with two dry towels and let us wipe the rain from our faces.Mr.
Billy rebuked the young wife there, "What a wipe!
It's been raining for so long, so you should go upstairs and take a hot shower!
Hurry up and take Wizard Giga and Caterina upstairs to the room where they usually stay!
”I waved to Mr.
Billy, that he would not have to hurry to open the room, and that the young waiter at the inn would help me unload the grain from the horses, and then throw a silver coin to the young waiter, and that he should take good care of my and Caterina's two Guborian horses, preferably by making a fire in the stable, and drying the wet fur of the two Guborian horses.At this time, the fat cook in the hotel also ran out to help, and only then carried the four sacks of wheat into the hotel.I stepped on the sack, took out a sharp skinning knife and poked a hole in the sack, and the wheat in the sack flowed out like quicksand.Mr.
Billy squatted in front of the sack, his eyes widened, he stretched out his hand to take a handful of wheat, then twisted a few grains of wheat and threw them into his mouth and chewed a few times, his eyes suddenly became extremely bright, his eyes fell on the four sacks again, and he said in surprise: "These sacks are full of wheat?"
Wizard Jiga, where did you get all this food?
”"Outside the city, at Camp Trum."
I replied.Seeing the golden wheat flowing all over the ground, the fat cook hurriedly rushed into the kitchen and took out a wooden basin, she trembled up and down when she ran, she knelt on the floor on both knees, and carefully collected the wheat that had fallen on the ground into the wooden basin.I retracted my feet on the sacks, pointed to the four sacks of wheat on the floor of the hall, and said, "Mr.
Billy, we don't need these bags of wheat, and I thought about it for a while, and I wonder if Mr.
Billy would be interested in buying them, and if so, I would sell them to you at a discount." ”The expression on Mr.
Billy's face was a kind of surprise that was hit by happiness, and he hurriedly said to me: "Of course I do, the next magic airship that will deliver supplies doesn't know when it will sail from Pereira, and I'm worried about tomorrow's breakfast, I didn't expect you to return to the hotel with four bags of wheat, I" I said to Mr.
Billy: "You don't have to pay me silver coins, these wheat, for the time being, these wheat will be used as our room money, Katarina and I have been drenched in a little rain on the way, and we want to sleep well when we go upstairs, If we need to eat, we will come downstairs ourselves, so please be sure not to disturb me for the time being!
”With that, he dragged Caterina up the stairs on the side of the hotel with her wet defense cloak.Mr.
Billy leaned forward with his hand on the handrail at the top of the staircase, and said to me as I climbed the stairs, "Then please rest well, I promise not even a mouse will pass by the door of your room!"
