From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 107 The Sound of Reading in the Refugee Area (4K)

At the foot of an unnamed peak in the Warcraft Mountains, a small group of people were supporting each other and moving forward. They wore inconsistent leather armor and held weapons such as swords and spears. There were a total of five or sixty people.

The leading man raised his head, looked at a strangely dressed old man beside him and said, "Are you sure you can gain something in this direction?"

"Your Excellency City Defense Officer is just joking. How can you be sure about this kind of thing? I can only say that it is possible." The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and apologized a little timidly, for fear that the other party would vent his anger on him.

Hearing this, Hans' eyes were a little dark, and the old man shivered, but he didn't say anything.

He has led a team into the mountain for several days. The task is to find ore veins. Whether it is iron ore ore, it doesn't matter, it is what the territory urgently needs.

As for why it was him, it wasn't because of the city defense battalion that he was provoked. He actually colluded with the merchants to deliver news.

One after another, most of them were provoked by his subordinates. Although Ryan didn't blame him, anyone with a discerning eye knew that he made Ryan very dissatisfied this time.

Hans is an ambitious man who wants more power, and if Lane's trust in him declines, sooner or later someone will take his place.

So he took the initiative to go into the mountains to find ore veins, and solve the problem of lack of ore for the territory, so as to restore the crisis of trust in Ryan's mind.

The Warcraft Mountains are full of dangers, and at the same time, there is no lack of opportunities. This is a treasure land that has never been exploited by humans, and it has countless resources.

Their strength is limited, and they can only search for it on the outskirts of the Warcraft Mountains, but even so, it is a very wide range. The ore vein will not tell you where it is, waiting for you to dig, it is completely looking for a needle in a haystack.

In desperation, Hans could only look for some "capable people" who claimed to be able to survey ore veins, and use their word of mouth since ancient times to find them. As for whether it will be effective, who knows.

During this period of time, nothing has been gained, and several people have been damaged, which made Hans feel a little depressed.

"My lord, if you go further, you will go a little deeper. If you are not careful, you may encounter monsters above level three. Should we change the direction?" One of the officers under his command came forward and said, with this little manpower under them, there is really no way to continue. deep capital.

"Hmph, quickly find another direction, if you lead us around again, I want you to look good!"

Hans also understood the reason, and looked at the old man with a bad expression.

Soon, after the old man took out a bunch of things and fiddled with them, he pointed in one direction tremblingly, and the team set off again.

What they didn't know was that shortly after they left, a small figure scratched its head with its paws, jumped from the canopy and disappeared...

Ryan's motorcade was ready to set off again, preparing to go to the territory of the Marton family for a banquet. Before leaving, he promoted Hevian to the position of political adjutant, with full authority to organize land reclamation matters.

Originally, reclamation was something Ryan planned to do after the beginning of spring, but as the territory received a large number of refugees, Ryan had to find something for them to do, so he proceeded ahead of schedule.

This time the land reclamation area is very wide, and next year's spring plowing will be busy.

Ryan's convoy is composed of several carriages and a large group of soldiers. Some carriages are tightly covered and contain green sugar.

He took out thousands of pounds of green sugar this time, and he wasn't worried about the sales of this thing at all, so he planned to open up a big market at once.

Originally, Xiyue wanted to go with her, but Ryan resolutely refused. She herself was not ready yet, and it was not certain who would protect who if something happened. It would be better to stay in Doman City.

Moreover, he has always felt stuck in his throat for the cult member who escaped. The other party's methods are too weird. It will take a long time for him to leave this time, and he can feel at ease with her here.

The Viscounty of Marton is the only Viscounty in Linton County, covering a vast area, and there is a Barony in between the Viscounty of Karna.

Even so, it took Ryan's team more than four days to rush to the main city of the Viscount Land--Horley City.

Huo Lei City is not a dilapidated project like Doman City, it covers a vast area, the city walls are several feet high, and the whole body is made of large bluestones, and its defense is a few blocks above Doman City.

The Marton family has been operating in this territory for hundreds of years, bringing the population of this territory to more than [-] people, and turning Horley City into the trading center of the entire county, so it is extremely prosperous here.

Even when the Zhengdan Festival is approaching, there are still large and small caravans coming to Huo Lei City to sell or buy goods, such as fur, ore, medicinal materials, handmade products...

The products here are diverse, enough to meet the needs of most merchants, which is why many merchants braved the severe cold to come here.

Ryan's team was not investigated because they had an invitation letter from Chelsea. According to normal procedures, the officials guarding the city would give a rough valuation of the caravan's goods, and then charge a [-]% city entry tax.

Then when the caravan goes out of the city, it also needs to be appraised, and a [-]% city exit tax is charged. This way, just paying the tax is a lot of money, but there are still a lot of businessmen flocking to it.

Huo Lei City is worthy of being a city that has been developed and established for many years. The roads are spacious and straight. The main roads are all stone roads. The drainage system is relatively complete, and there is no scene of sewage flowing across.

Ryan did not visit Cheers first, but stayed in a hotel. There was more than a day before the banquet started. He planned to walk around the city to learn from experience, and try to sell green sugar to see the market.

There are four main markets in the city, located in the four corners of the city.

In addition to the guards and servants, he also brought a man named Fetrol, who was an arithmetic talent he had recruited before. He also made achievements in the way of merchants, like a shrewd businessman.

In Karna, he has been taking care of part of the property under the lord's name, and he has been doing a good job, so this time Ryan brought him without anyone, and was responsible for the important task of selling green sugar!
"Fetrol, this time as long as the price is not lower than my bottom line, how to sell and how much to sell is up to you. I only look at the final result. I will reward you for a good job."

Ryan has always been adhering to the attitude of not being suspicious of people, and giving authority to his subordinates every time. If they do well, they will be rewarded, and if they do not, they will be punished.

Kanna's financial officer has been vacant all the time. If Fetrol does a good job this time and does a good job, the position of financial officer will be his.

"Don't worry my lord, I will not let you down."

Fetrol is a young man in his twenties. He is a little short in stature, but his eyes reveal imperceptible shrewdness. He naturally understands Ryan's voice-over, and his heart is full of energy...

"Well, let's go around first, learning makes people progress." After ordering, Ryan changed out of his gorgeous clothes, and began to wander around with a few soldiers in civilian clothes.

He found that there are many places in Huo Lei City that sell cubs of magical beasts. There are all kinds of magical beasts. Although most of them are ordinary types of magical beasts, they are all very expensive.

For example, he saw a one-horn sheep cub of the first level. This kind of monster has a gentle temperament and stronger fighting power than ordinary people. The highlight is the delicious meat, and there are no other characteristics.

And it was such a magical beast that could only be eaten, the price was as high as five Jindel, which opened Ryan's eyes, and this was only a low-value one.

The most precious ones are of course the beasts of birds and birds. Even the most common ones cost dozens of Kindlers, and the value is astonishingly high.

In the kingdom of Tistan, there is an air cavalry composed of griffins, which is rare in number but famous in the mainland.

Looking all the way, although he was very interested, he never wanted to buy anything, until two fluffy white birds appeared in front of his eyes, which immediately attracted his attention.

He couldn't help but walked to the booth. The owner was a middle-aged man with brown hair. He didn't look like a Tistan, but rather an Andis.

"Boss, what kind of monster is this? It looks very distinctive."

He pointed to the bird in the cage and asked curiously.

The boss glanced at him, and found an indescribable aura on the other person. He immediately understood that this person was unusual, and quickly apologized: "Mr. In the depths, after being tamed, it can be used to deliver letters, and it is not a problem to go back and forth hundreds of miles every day."

Ryan squatted down, looked at the two small messenger birds in the cage, and became a little interested. There is no such bird as pigeons in this world, and most of the messages are delivered by horses.

This letter bird has the ability to deliver letters, which is still attractive to Ryan. If the price is right, he can also consider taking it.

"What is the selling price of this letter bird?"

Seeing that Ryan had the intention to buy, the boss rolled his eyes, nodded and bowed his head and said: "One piece is 120 gold coins, and two pieces together are [-] coins.

Don't be surprised, this is a male and a female. If you buy it together, it will be more expensive, but it is definitely worth the money, sir. "

Ryan frowned. This is really taking him seriously. Although they are a pair of flying monsters, these small and docile ones are generally kept as pets. As a result, the boss actually wanted to sell the money for the large flying monsters .

"A pair of thirty gold coins. The value of this monster is the lowest among flying monsters, and it needs a professional trainer to train it. The price you are asking is too outrageous."

Shaking his head, he cut off more than half of it.

The boss's eyes widened immediately, this is more ruthless than cutting in half!

"Sir, you..."

"Okay, 35 Kindlers, if you can accept this order, let it be, if you can't accept it, let it be."

Ryan didn't give him a chance to sell badly at all, and he called him dead at the one-buy price. The boss also made a lot of money at this price. If the boss still wanted to make an inch, he just turned around and left.

"Okay, deal!"

The boss gritted his teeth, knowing that it was impossible for Ryan to increase the price, so he had to sell it like this. He thought he would meet a big money, but the bargain was too ruthless.

When Ryan left the booth, he already had an iron cage made of black iron in his hand, in which two letter birds were looking around.

Soon, Ryan came to a relatively remote street, which was different from the bustling before. Both the roads and the houses were extremely dilapidated, and there were crowds of people everywhere. Most of them were very thin and pale.

He knew that he had come to a poor or refugee area. Huo Leicheng also received a lot of refugees this winter, and it seemed that the management was pretty good.

Originally, his trip should have ended here, but he still took a step forward, intending to go in and have a look.

There is also a refugee area in Doman City, but the difference here is that they need to rely on their own labor in exchange for food, so they appear more lively, and although these people do nothing and have gruel to eat, they feel a little lifeless of.

When the refugees around saw Ryan and his party, they all consciously lowered their heads to avoid them. The other party saw that their identity was unusual, and they didn't know how to die if they accidentally collided with them.

After walking a certain distance, Ryan felt a little dull. The atmosphere here was too depressing, which made people feel depressed.

Just when he was about to leave, a loud reading sound came from not far away, which made him stop immediately.

"Why is there the sound of reading here? Is there a school near here?"

Ryan was a little surprised. Hearing the sound of reading in the refugee area was as bizarre as finding a dinosaur egg in a nest of eggs.

This involuntarily aroused his interest, and he quickly walked towards the direction of the sound. Soon, a simple house made of green bricks appeared in front of his eyes.

The reading sound inside is already very clear, and the content is actually "History of the Kingdom".

Without hastily disturbing, Ryan looked in through the hollowed-out window, and found that there were more than [-] children inside, of different ages, dressed in shabby clothes, no different from refugees.

But they have independent tables and stools. Although they don't have books in their hands, they each have a small sand table for writing.

At the moment, they are all staring at the front, where there is something similar to a blackboard, with a historical text written on it.

Apparently they have been educated for some time and have been able to recite texts.

What caught Ryan's attention the most was the somewhat short figure in front of the blackboard. He was not dressed gorgeously, but he was made of more elegant materials, so he should have some assets.

Half of his face showed a metallic color, it was a golden mask, and the other half of his face looked a bit feminine, with fair skin, which made Ryan a little confused for a while.

"I didn't expect there to be people imparting knowledge in such a refugee area. It's really unexpected." Ryan was a little emotional, and he sincerely admired such people.

It is definitely not easy to have such a piece of pure land in such a place. There is no such thing as tuition fees here.

Although he was dressed a little strangely, it could be said that the other party was a truly kind person.

"Oh, you are better than me." Shaking his head and mocking himself, Ryan turned and left.

And the moment he turned around, the masked man cast his gaze over and whispered to himself, "Is Karna's new lord? It's really special."
