Soul Echo

Although I've heard it before, Lillian wants to hear the process and why in more detail.

This is not only what she wants to hear, but the audience in the live broadcast room also wants to hear it.

Xilu people seldom value their hometown. They may value their family, but they are always indifferent to the development of their hometown. Unlike Easterlanders, they often extend their concern for their family to their hometown. above.

Passing through so many cities, Lillian also knows that many adventurers will not return to their hometown after retiring, but will settle down in one of their favorite cities, and only a very few are attached to their hometown or hometown Really good people return home.

Of course, it's not right to say that the people of the Western Land have no local feelings, but relatively speaking, they are not as strong as those of the Easterland.

"Then it was because my leg was broken, and I remembered that I hadn't seen my grandfather for more than ten years, so I came back."

Savic sighed and said disappointedly: "Come back. Only later did I find out that in the third year I went out, my grandfather passed away because he was seriously ill and was not taken care of..."

hearing this, Lillian's mouth was slightly open.

"Yes, sorry, I don't know..." She stammered, trying to say something, but didn't know what to say.

"It's not your fault, it's my own fault. If I hadn't been so rebellious back then, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened." Savage shook his head and sighed sadly, "After that , I stayed here, but because of my broken leg, farming and grazing were not very good. I originally planned to spend my life like this. Didn't expect someone contacted me suddenly two years ago, wanting to build an adventurer in Valais Home."

Looking back at the badge hanging on the wall, the former adventurer shook his head, "I don't know what exactly they're trying to do, but they say it will allow Valais to grow, To make life better for the people here, I don't know what they're going to do, but they said that, and it's their money, and they don't do it for nothing."

The first half of Savage's life It's not that exciting. Similar stories abound in other adventurers, but it is precisely because of this ordinaryness that Lilian is a little moved.

Lilian was still immersed in the story, but Zhong Ye keenly captured a little bit of information from Savage's words.

The upper floors of the adventurer's house contacted Savage two years ago to build an adventurer's house in Valais, which now seems like a superfluous move, with no players at all.

——Valley has no adventurer and mercenary to integrate. If it is not to provide a place for players to learn and grow, there is no need to set up an adventurer home.

What happened?

Thinking of this, Zhong Ye suddenly said, "So, are you planning to make Valais richer?"

Savic started, shaking his head blankly, "No, I didn't think that way... it's not right! I wanted to make Valais better, but you said so..."

He just had a vague idea, not as exaggerated as what Zhong Ye said , and he doesn't have the confidence that he can make Valais richer.

Zhong Ye didn't seem to hear what he said, and asked again, "What do you think is the reason for Valais' poverty?"

Savage opened his mouth, He felt that something was brewing in his heart and wanted to grow, but his poor language ability made him unable to express what he was thinking.

Before he could answer, Zhong Ye expressed his thoughts: "In my opinion, there are many reasons for poverty, but the most obvious and fatal is the lack of communication and communication with the outside world.

"After I came here, I made a general observation and found that the Valais actually lived a prosperous life, whether it was land, livestock, clothing, in the four points of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, the only thing you lack is' OK', so what makes you feel poor? "

Listening to what Zhong Ye said, Savage thought about it carefully and found that it seems to be the case.

Compared with farmers outside the mountains, The people of Valais have actually lived a good life. They don't have to worry about being hungry or wearing warm clothes. As long as there is no natural disaster, every winter, every family has surplus food.

Then why? Why does he feel that Valais is poor?

"...Valais is not poor, but 'backward'! "

At this time, Lillian interjected: "Perhaps it's because Mr. Savage, you left Valais and saw the world outside the mountains, so after returning to Valais, you will feel that Valais." Lei is poor. Not really, that's just an illusion! "

She didn't observe Valais' situation carefully, but she believed in Zhong Ye. Since Zhong Ye said Valais was not poor, then she would follow this line of thinking.

" right! To fall behind is to fall behind! Savage's eyes lit up, and he slapped his palms sharply. "Compared with the outside world, Valais is really far behind. The city guards outside are all muskets, and they can be killed by just pulling the trigger lightly." monster, better than the crossbow!

"If Valais has that thing, and there is another monster attacking, we don't have to worry about casualties!

"And mining machines, which only burn coal, are more powerful than More than a dozen people together are even bigger, and there is no physical limitation, and you can use coal all the time..."

The more Savage said, the more excited he seemed, as if he had seen these mountains. The scene after outside objects entered Valais, but suddenly, he stopped chattering again, and the whole person suddenly fell down.

Because Valais is isolated from the world and has no access to the outside world. There are no merchants who come here to do business just to buy their cattle and sheep.

Just as Savage was lost, Zhong Ye took out the self-made map and Notes.

He spreads the map on the table, attracting Savage's attention, "This is... a map? "

Looking at the rudimentary map, Savage quickly understood the meaning behind the densely packed marker on the map.

"Valley is not poor, The mountains of the Alps are not barren. It’s not that no adventurers have come here, but they are all defeated by the complex terrain of the mountains. Compared with challenging this Barbarian Desolate Land, they spend more money and time to bet on a great wealth. , perhaps following the rules is more suitable for mediocre people.

"Those who dare to challenge the Alps are naturally brave, but they don't go deep into Valais, do they?

"The reason why they didn't come here, It is because there is no need and no motivation, and these," Zhong Ye clicked on the map and notes, "is to provide them with motivation and necessary things. "

Savage's heart beat, looking at the map on the table, his heart was pounding, but it didn't take long for him to calm down again.

As an adult, he Knowing that everything in the world has a price.

“What do you want to do? "Savage asked seriously, "You are certainly not free to do these things, what do you want?" "

"I want a piece of the pie." "

Zhong Ye put the notes on the table, together with the map, "I am only one person, even if I add my students, there are only two people, there is no way to fiddle with this business route, you I said before that I spent a few months wandering in the mountains before I went to the next city-state. After removing all kinds of accidents, the distance between Valais and that city-state should not exceed a month. This is because the road is primordial. If it is developed, the distance should Could be shortened even more.

"Selling these things directly to other adventurers is too little money compared to opening a trade route.

"This map and notes can help Attract adventurers to Valais. When they come to Valais, they will naturally generate corresponding demands. If the number of people is small, Valais can digest it by itself, but when the number of people is large, the excess demand cannot be solved. needs.

"You said earlier that 'there are not many outsiders', indicating that Valais is not completely isolated, and compared to a village we encountered before, the residents of Valais have a gentle attitude towards us There are too many, so it can be speculated that at least one caravan outside the mountains keeps in touch with Valais."

Listening to Zhong Ye's words, Savage's face became more and more horrified, looking towards Zhong Ye's eyes Divine Idol is like seeing a ghost.

Hearing the last sentence, he couldn't help but ask: "How do you know it's a caravan?"

But Zhong Ye smiled slightly, "I was just guessing, It's confirmed now."

hearing this, Savage froze for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly.

took a deep breath, Savage asked again: "After all that said, what do you want from me?"

Zhong Ye always impossible to talk to him for no reason Speaking of these things, since he said it, he must want to get something from him.

But if you want to share some benefits, it's useless to talk to him about it, because he is not a businessman, and he is also an impossible businessman, and there is no way to open up the business between Valais and other city-states. road.

He does have some old friends, but after a few years, if they are either dead or retired, even if they contact them, they can't help much.

"I want to know the contact information of that caravan." Zhong Ye straight to the point, made his request directly.

paused, seeing the doubt on Savage's face, he explained: "Compared to other caravans, that caravan has both experience and ability, and they can deliver what you need here. , then naturally they have the ability to transport what the adventurers need.

“They know how to develop this business route, they also know the living standard of Valais, and they know that you don’t have the spending power, but you don’t. The channel of consumption, it is very clear how much wealth this business route will bring to them once it operates.

"Because they understand all of this, I don't have to talk too much about the potential of this business route. As long as I put these things in front of them, they will naturally cooperate with me. "

"His..." Savage brows slightly wrinkle, taking a deep breath.

Sounds like that.

This is a reasonable statement. If it were other caravans who didn't know the situation of the Alps, they would definitely not believe Zhong Ye's words because he put the map and notes in front of him, but if it was The caravan that 'frequently' did business with Valais, when he mentioned this matter, probably began to think about how to open up this trade route.

Then, Savage heard Zhong Ye adding: "Apart from this, I also hope you can explain the route between Valais and other city-states, and then I will go to When in other city-states, look for nearby items that have value and can attract adventurers.

“In this plan, the existence of adventurers is indispensable, and only when adventurers come here, can they To attract the attention of businessmen, it is not enough to have only one or two adventurers, at least dozens or even hundreds of adventurers that often enter and exit the mountains.

"You were also an adventurer before, and you should know what could attract an adventurer to this Barbarian Desolate Land."

What else could it be?

There is nothing but the temptation to get rich!

The Alps are still an undeveloped Barbarian Desolate Land, and even the inhabitants of Valais have not explored the surrounding land much.

primordial doesn't necessarily mean wealth, but the Alps are not barren.

Isn't a region rich in products and primordial synonymous with 'getting rich'?

Savage's train of thought was opened up at once, and he started thinking along the direction described by Zhong Ye, and found that if it were him, he would also choose to enter the mountains.

Adventurers are almost indistinguishable from gamblers, and their stakes are bigger and more staggering—they bet on their own lives!

After pondering for a long time and struggling with thoughts for a long time, Savage slapped his thigh and finally made up his mind.

"They're in Montreux!"

Savage gestured with his hand, "Starting from Valais, heading northwest, you'll see a large lake, which is 'Lemonus', along the shore of the lake to the north, you can reach Montreux - I used this road to get out of the mountains at the beginning. As for the specific route in and out of the mountains, only the caravan knew. Not very clear.

"The caravan is called 'Lake of Chillon' and has a station in Montreux. You can find out where they are by asking the locals. ”

Zhong Ye nodded the information again and again, silently writing down the information.

From his point of view, in the case of Valais, the Turin black market is probably unable to enter the city to collect information. Intelligence, if that's the case, why do they think there are traces of cultists in Valais?

There must be a reason for it. Without being able to enter Valais, all the intelligence personnel can access is nothing more than There are only two kinds of people.

One is the lord of this city-state, and the other is the caravan that communicated between Valais and human society outside the mountains. Both are very suspicious, and maybe even both, Rather than choosing one or the other.

He would spend two days in Valais, where he would find a chance to contact the lord of the place, and then go to Montreux to test the merchant Team.

But you have to be a little more secretive, you can't let them know that he is spying on intelligence and confirming information, otherwise, it may make them suspicious...
