The next day

Odin’s boulder fort welcomes a guest, Lord Blue of Poppy Town.

"haha! My old neighbor, what brought you today, please sit down!"

Odin greeted his lucky star warmly, looking forward to this What new things made him make a fortune again and again.

"Hehe, Odin Baron won't be a guest in my Poppy Town for a long time, so I have to come and invite myself!"

Brook Knight smiled and joked, on the sofa Sit down in a comfortable position.

"Then I can't bear it, but I'm really busy during this time, and I have to deal with the autumn harvest after making the ice."

Odin made an exaggerated use The arms gestured.

"You don't know, my town is so big, I'm afraid it will collapse if I don't work hard to manage it."

"Hehe, I'll just say it. Well, what you asked me to do last time, um! This tea is not bad, what's the name?"

"The caravan brought it from the eastern country. It's called black tea. Poppy town should have it. Right."

"I usually drink, I drink champagne, barley beer, red wine, tea, this thing, I only drink with you."

" I'll give you something to take back. You are talking about slaves. Finally, there is news. How do you say, how many are there?"

"Well... listen to me first, the situation is like this , I’ve asked about the surrounding towns, but none of them. This is normal. Slave dealers never go to small towns.

It just so happens that there is a big town south of Duchy near Lanche Duchy, An old friend of mine worked there, and he wrote me back in the past two days, saying that there are some slaves, but not many, only a hundred, and the price is not cheap!"

"No Cheap? Isn't it all one gold one?"

Odin asked suspiciously.

"The normal situation is one gold and one gold, but now the slave market has fluctuated, causing the slave's price to rise and double!"

Brook took out a cigar and lights it up, said each minding their own business.

"In the message that old friend gave me, Lanche’s border was looted 20 kilometers inward, and there was no fur left. Lanche Duchy didn’t mean to fight back. Instead, Fully contracted defenses, and took the initiative to retreat for ten kilometers.

In this way, there is a long unmanned land block, and Tiwana’s slave hunting team is not so good. No new slaves are put on the market, slaves. The price of slaves will naturally rise."

Slave trading is not like other commodities with fixed output. There is no war or friction, and there is no slave. Although civilians can sell themselves as slaves, it is extremely A small number of desperate people.

When he went to Fengsangling, Odin had thought of the problem of slave reduction, but didn't expect it would happen so fast, which was a bit beyond his expectation.

"Is there any news from Fengsangling?"

"Well... the last time I went back to Rock City to report on official business, I heard the Lord Earl mentioned it, it seems that the problem is not big , But life in the other two small territories adjacent to Fengsangling is very difficult. Many wealthy merchants and nobles have withdrawn, leaving a place of civilians waiting to die.

hu~ What a misfortune, maybe Is there any way, war is so cruel."

Brook Knight took a deep cigar, his tone rather regretful.

The devastation brought about by the war is huge. Farmland is barren, homes are broken, civilians and serfs have no food and clothing, and the population is drastically reduced. Even if the war stops, it will take a long time to recover.

But at the same time of destruction, it can also bring predatory wealth growth to those duchy aristocrats with powerful military force, and those little aristocrats or Knights living in the middle and lower classes have seen the increase in the ranks. After hope, it will naturally become even worse.

This is why the war is enthusiastic.

After sending Blue Knight away, Master Odin was still immersed in the topic just now.

He is not interested in the slave after the price increase. Besides, the distance is so far, and he doesn't know how much it will cost to transport it all the way. He is not worried about burning money, why bother.

However, he was very interested in the civilians and serfs who were stuck at the border and could not leave.

A while after Brue Knight left, old Butler walked in with a letter in his hand.

"Sir, is the Rock City Fox magician wind sent the letter."

"took Come, and should be pro-drug well, with time can be really long Yes."

Odin unfolded the envelope and looked at it. As he guessed, there were a total of 90 clusters of 65 bottles of affinity potions, and the success rate was about 70%, the upstream level.

Among them, 5 bottles are Fenghu's reward, and the remaining 60 bottles are his, enough to trade with Earl Feng Sangling.

"Well, it’s early autumn, two and a half months before winter. The town is fine for me now. I just went to cut off the deal, and by the way, I’ll take a look over there. Situation, if possible..."

Odin couldn't help but think of a good way to increase the population quickly.

In the end, he decided to go there in person. This time he was not alone, but took his Knight squad to go with him.

......

Three days later

Odin and his Knight squad, a group of five people, are already on their way to Fengsangling , They passed through Rock City yesterday to find Wind Fox to get the potion, then rested for a night, and officially started on their way this morning.

"Kunas, have you ever seen the Knight of Duchy in Tiwana?"

For a long-distance journey, preserving energy is the most important thing, so I don’t ride fast, so I just found a topic to chat stand up.

"My lord, Danube has a bad relationship with Tiwana. Few people come over there, and I have never seen it."

"Where is Lanche Duchy?"

"This subordinate has seen it before. I have seen it several times when I went to the imperial capital with the Lord Earl. They are good at defeating the enemy with skills. The weapon is popular with slender one-handed swords, and the clothes are decorated. It’s gorgeous.

I heard that Lan Che’s Princess is very beautiful, and I don’t know if it’s true or false."

"Hehe, how beautiful Princess is, it’s not to be trampled by others. , I don’t even have the courage to resist.”

“Tiwana’s strength to bully the weak, Lan Che also has no choice. Resisting will only make them decay faster, even Danube duchy. Due to Tiwana’s strength, I dare not support it on the surface, so I can only do secretly in the dark."

"hmph, but now Tiwana doesn’t mean to let Danube go, the same. Take action on our border, no matter what, I hope the situation will not develop too fast..."

This topic is too heavy. Odin shook his head and concentrated on the road and stopped talking. He stayed in the territory before. I still don't feel the sense of crisis, and now I am out of the house, I realize that the situation is a bit uncomfortable.

If Danube dares to fight and resist, then it is possible to attract more troops and make the situation deteriorate rapidly. The best way is to drag Tiwana within the unwritten rules.

As long as Tiwana feels that the contribution is not proportional to the gain, it will naturally gradually retreat and find another place to plunder.

I was afraid that Duchy Imperial Family would become soft like Lan Che and directly gave up the border.

But even if Odin thinks well, it is just wishful thinking. He can't control the movement of the whole country. Even if the king thinks like him, how to procrastinate and whether he can procrastinate is a problem.

"Full of urgency~"
