Lord Helanza

The largest carriage row in Helanza is located in the southwest corner of the workshop area of ​​Helanza City, which is only one block away from the south city gate. Opposite the carriage row is the largest free market in Helanza. , This is also the busiest place in the whole city, and many citizens are willing to buy cheap goods here.

At the beginning of the spring season, a fresh and tender red cabbage appeared on the free market.

This kind of fern that grows under rot leaves is the first wild vegetable that broke out of the soil after the arrival of spring. You can only eat radishes, pumpkins, cabbage, potatoes and all kinds of dried vegetables throughout the winter. The Helanza people of mushrooms have no resistance to this fresh sprout. Some mountain folks put red cabbage on the stalls, and they will be robbed immediately.

The mountain people outside Helanza took advantage of this season, when the frozen soil on the southern slope of the mountain was completely melted, they carried their hoe up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and dig cassava.

Cassava is the rootstock of a tree. A cassava tree can produce hundreds of catties of cassava. This cassava grows deep in the mountains. The cassava trees around the village are basically owned by nobles and knights. Private property, many poor families rely on this kind of cassava with trace toxins to survive the food shortage.

Every spring, the free market in Helanza city hoards a large amount of cassava. Some homeless people even guard the gate of the free market. They specialize in helping merchants carry bags in the market, and a copper plate can be enough. I bought a cassava with a child's thick arm.

This free market everyday all has large orders of cassava transactions, so it’s not difficult for homeless people to fill their stomachs in Helanza as long as they are willing to work hard.

……

After entering the spring, the business of the carriage line in the city has also entered the off season.

This season, there will be carriages in the car dealers to bring some cassava back into the mountains and sell them to the free market in Helanza, but the marginal margins are not even as good as the commissions for clearing snow in the city in winter.

This carriage has a store on the street. Surdak walks into the open store door. A blonde girl is standing behind the counter. She is looking down and sorting out her accounts. The lobby of the store is a little noisy. , A group of carriage husbands are sitting in the rest area of ​​the store chatting. At this time, most of the people who can have free chat are some truck drivers. Everyone is waiting for the bell to ring in the evening, and they can go home for dinner in small groups. NS.

Through the opposite back door, Surdak can clearly see the carriage row and the backyard is full of four-wheel carriages. Some grooms unload the Gubolai horses from the carriage and use the brushes to take the horses seriously. After really brushing it again, he led the horse back to the stable.

There are still some people shoveling grass next to the storeroom where the forages are stored. The forages must be mixed with wheat bran and bean cake embryos and stirred evenly before they can be fed to these ancient Borai horses, so that they will not be in the spring. Lose fat.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the blonde lifts the head, and saw a knight in the composition, stood up immediately and said enthusiastically to Surdak, "Hello, Lord Knight, what can I do? Can I help you?"

Surdak said to salesgirl of the car dealership: "I want to hire a few four-wheel trucks."

"Where are you going?" Salesgirl gave a copy of The parchment map was placed on the counter, and a thin wooden stick was pushed in front of Surdak.

Surdak picked up the wooden stick and pointed to the eastern end of Desolate Land at the southern end of the mountain range of Paglos on the map. Ercun, in Desolate Land just outside the Paglos Pass, about one day away from Helanza."

"Do you want to use it now?" The blonde salesgirl stared at a pair of big blue eyes. Asked Surdak.

"en. "Surdak nodded.

salesgirl reminded Surdak: "Although the snow in the mountains has melted and the road to the pass is unimpeded, the night road is a bit more expensive than the normal fare during the day. If you have nothing too much For important things, I suggest you make an appointment tomorrow morning."

Surdak shook the head said: "I will use it tonight, I can't wait for tomorrow."

salesgirl smiles awkwardly After thinking about it, he asked Surdak: "So... what other requirements do you have for these four-wheel carriages?"

Surdak thought about it seriously, and said casually: "There is nothing... By the way At least, these carriage husbands must not be too afraid of dogs!"

The salesgirl took the request into the register very seriously, lowered her head and wrote as she said: "From Helanza City to Woo outside the Paglos Pass In Ercun, if you want to traverse the golden oaks and ridges of the city and hire a four-wheeled carriage, you probably need to pay six silver pins. By the way, how many four-wheeled carriages do you need to hire?"

Surdak calculated that there should be no problem with a four-wheeled carriage carrying fifty kobold slaves, so more than a thousand kobold slaves would require almost 20 four-wheeled carriages. In addition, ogre Gullitm needs a spacious four-wheeled vehicle. carriage, apart from this, Surdak is also planning to buy a batch of cheap cassava in Helanza. He thought for a while and said: "I need thirty cars!" As usual, he said to Surdak:

"...Okay, Lord Knight!"

As soon as Surdak walked into the carriage, he was seen by the carriage husbands in the rest area next to him. In their eyes, although they still have a small sentence without a sentence, they are a little absent-minded.

Carriage husbands can’t swarm up and surround Surdak to snatch this door-to-door business. They can only wait quietly in the rest area. This is the rule set long ago by the carriage. According to the carriage husband The order of our registration in the morning will be assigned by Miss Nellie.

However, it took a long time for Miss Nellie to choose the carriage husband this time, and she ran to the rest area in the middle of the journey and asked the carriage husbands one by one if they were afraid of dogs. For the hard-won work, the carriage husbands Even if I am afraid, it is impossible to say it at this time.

Ms. Nellie asked around in the rest area without saying anything. She ran to the backyard and went directly to the carriage husbands who washed the horses and asked them if they were afraid of dogs.

The carriage husbands in the backyard are the ones who have received jobs today, and they are definitely ranked lower in the carriage row. They expect that no matter how much work they have, they won’t be their turn, so they will squat down. Brush the horses in the backyard.

Miss Nellie asked several carriage husbands in the backyard:

"Annelin, Dirk, Flor, three of you, would you like to take the night’s work? Desolate Land outside the Paglos Pass."

One of the carriage husbands who was scrubbing the saddle cases stood straight, carrying a dripping brush in his hand, and asked Miss Nellie:

p>

"Would you like to go overnight?"

The inner courtyard was full of carriages for four rounds. Miss Nellie held the registration book, squinted against the sun and said, "That's right!"

The carriage husband took a look at the carriage shop and hesitated before saying: "Miss Nellie, of course we are willing, but if you come to us, the few in the rest area will not complain about you. Is it?"

Miss Nellie smiled brightly at the handsome carriage husband, her white teeth looked very neat, she said:

"No, because They will also go..."

The carriage husband next to him immediately cheered: "Wow, it looks like this is a big deal!"

Miss Nellie proudly nodded , Holding the register, turned and walked back, and said as he walked: "Yes, the guest is a Knight. This time, a total of 30 four-wheel carriages were ordered. If there is no problem, just follow I'll come to the store."

The carriage husband who was named has stopped what he was doing and followed Ms. Nellie into the store.

……

Two-horse four-wheel trucks drove out of the carriage row one after another, and stopped neatly in a row on the side of the carriage row.

Surdak didn’t wait in the carriage shop. He walked into the free market opposite the carriage shop and asked casually about the market price of cassava. Then he began to sweep a lot of goods in the free market, a few hundred catties or even dozens of catties, as long as the price was right. I bought all of them, but the delivery location is required to be at the door of the carriage. He just walked around in the free market and bought a lot of cassava.

This kind of cassava has a very large yield, but it contains a small amount of toxins. If you eat too much, your lips will swell and you will also vent. Even the poor dare not eat more.

It didn't take long for the stall owners in the free market to carry the cassava and came to the door of the carriage.

According to the process, first weigh, Surdak pays, and then the stall owners will load the cassava into the last nine four-wheeled carriages until the nine four-wheeled trucks are all filled with cassava , Surdak finally called to stop, and the extra cassava was packed into the remaining four-wheel truck in bulk.

Surdak ordered several carriages full of cassava to drive directly out of the city and wait outside the city by the road leading to the Paglos Pass.

Then jumped on the front four-wheeled carriage and rushed to the airport terminal with a long line of four-wheeled carriages.

Andrew, who was waiting at the gate of the airport terminal, saw Surdak standing in the four-wheeled carriage, he let out a long sigh of relief and waved to Surdak in the distance.

The kobold slaves were trapped in a string by ropes. They lined up to board the four-wheeled carriage, and finally left Helanza in a four-wheeled truck before the city gate closed.

Surdak did not let these kobold slaves walk directly out of Helanza City. In addition to these kobold slaves, they are still worried that these stinky kobold slaves will cause unnecessary riots when they cross the market. He was understaffed on his own side, and he was worried that the kobold slave would take the opportunity to escape. Once there were signs in this area, he was afraid that there would be no way to stop it.

It is much safer to install these kobold slaves on a four-wheel carriage, and at the same time, it is better to control these kobold slaves.

The kobold slaves who had been hungry for a day boarded the four-wheeled carriage, only to find that some cassava had already been prepared in the carriage, they got into the carriage without making a sound. , Holding these cassava and chewing, they were hungry all day, and now they don't care about the toxin in the cassava.

Looking at these short kobold slaves with a strong smell, the carriage husbands can’t help complaining in their hearts that this big business is really not easy to do. Once the business comes down, look back. It is indispensable to scrub the truck carefully from the inside to the outside, but when the carriage is full of kobold slaves, the carriage husbands swiftly plugged in the box board at the back of the carriage.

Some carriage husbands saw that the frail young kobold slave could not climb the cargo box, and even pinched his nose to go up and push a hand...

Aboriginal warrior Andrew and half-elf archer Samira guarded the front and back ends of the convoy to prevent kobold slaves from escaping in the chaos. Once these kobold slaves escaped, they were caught by others, but once they escaped arrest. It will bring unnecessary security risks to the public security of Helanza City.

The succubus Aphrodite sat obediently in a magic caravan at the airport terminal. Before she was familiar with the imperial laws, Surdak didn’t let her wander around. After all, she was a succubus... …

But Aphrodite didn’t seem to care too much about it. She was lying quietly by the window, her face covered with black gauze, looking curiously at the street where people coming, people going. Through the black veil, Surdak could feel the smile on her face.

Surdak stood in front of Ogre Gullitum and said apologetically: "Sorry, Gullitum, today's dinner may be later..."

ogre Patting on the belly indicated that it was okay to occasionally be hungry. After speaking, he took a cassava and rubbed it on the belly twice, chewing like a crispy radish. He awkwardly boarded the last four-wheeled truck, and the whole carriage made a creaking noise. The carriage husband watched Ogre sitting in his truck box and stretched the sides of the carriage into an exaggerated arc, almost crying. When I came out, I saw that the convoy in front had already set off, and the carriage husband could only get on the driver's seat quickly, and the four-wheeled cargo truck drove Ogre to catch up.

When the convoy passed a bakery on Central Street, Surdak stopped the magic caravan, bought white bread and baked wheat cakes for 60 people, and spent another 20 Silver Coins for one At a barbecue stall, I bought two hot roasted lambs, and dumped a stack of roasted granola and a whole roasted lamb into the carriage of ogre Gulitum. Ogre's exclamation immediately came from the carriage.

In the magic caravan, the indigenous warrior tore off a roast leg of lamb, cut it into small pieces with a skinning knife and put it on a silver plate. The succubus Aphrodite took off the veil and stretched out his hand to pinch it gracefully Put a piece of lamb into his mouth, and vaguely said to Surdak as he ate: "I have never eaten such a delicious roast lamb..."

Faced with the three people in front of him, Sammy Pulling can only rely on sitting in the corner of the carriage and eating an apple.

The convoy finally left Helanza city before the closing of Helanza city gate.

The mountain road to the Paglos Pass is not easy to walk. The snow melts in the early spring and the mountain road is a bit muddy. However, Surdak employs four-wheel carriages with double horses. More means to go slower, this kind of truck will not easily get stuck in the mud and can't get out.

The mountain wind at night is still so cold, but the night sky in the mountains is full of stars, and the wind carries the fragrance of trees. The motorcade quietly passed through the mountain ridge full of oak trees. The last four-wheel carriage in the convoy passed the pass until the sun climbed up the mountain in the early morning.

The dazzling morning sun clearly reflects the wooden crosses on the top of the mountain. After a severe winter, the skeletons of those robbers have completely disappeared from the wooden crosses, leaving only some lone skulls hanging on the wooden crosses. The top of the cross.

On the far side of the road, Surdak has clearly seen the ravine in Wall Village.

Surdak pushed open the door of the magic caravan, pointed at the village that was getting clearer and clearer, and said excitedly to the men in the car: "Look there, there is the village of Wall..."

Succubus Aphrodite looked at the Desolate Land in front of him in surprise, with a tsk tsk sound in his mouth, and exclaimed: "This place will be so desolate."

Surdak Confidently said: "It will get better..."
