Chapter 57: Exploring Trade Routes (1) Weird Things
Weilin didn't care at all about this request.
His purpose this time was to take Raimundo through the planned trade route and visit the six nobles on the way. He didn't want to waste extra time contacting the other minor nobles.
This trading method saved him a lot of time.
"Let's go and see if there are any treasures in this small town. Maybe we can find some." Weilin handed the contract documents to Raimondo and headed to the commercial district of the small town.
Seeing that his master had no suggestions or ideas, Raimundo stopped saying anything, put away the contract documents, and quickly followed.
The next morning, outside the caravan station, Duke wore a suit of linen clothes, led two of his knight attendants, led a war horse, and three pack horses, and waited quietly on the spot.
The other members of the caravan did not drive away the three Dukes. They had learned about what happened yesterday and understood that these were the new knights accepted by the lord, and they might become their immediate bosses.
Ten minutes later, after Weilin finished washing, he left the room and walked out of the door.
When Duke saw the object of his allegiance appearing, he immediately went to greet him, stroking his chest and bending down to salute: "My lord, Duke reports to you."
"Well, he's recovering well." Looking at Duke who was in high spirits, Verin nodded and said.
"Raimondo, I leave Duke to you, train him well."
"Yes, my lord."
Raimundo accepted the task with a calm expression, and then took Duke to the open space next to him, preparing to conduct basic training for him and his two knight attendants.
Weilin looked at the gloomy weather and felt very relieved.
Quiet, cool, and gentle, he enjoyed the weather.
In the next few days, based on the situation in the territory and the intelligence collected, Verin signed another deal with Baron Wesker of Grosvenor.
The investigation over the past few days gave Verin a general idea of the plight of other minor nobles and pioneers in the border areas.
The group of people were caught off guard due to the sudden attack by the monster in the gray light wasteland.
The loss of property and the threat to their own safety made them eager to sell their serfs in order to leave the Cardero Province.
This group of people is quite large, with more than thirty people in the border area around Grosvenor alone.
They came to Cardero Province to develop, hoping for stability.
Now that this situation has arisen, this group of weak pioneers have to stop their losses in time, sell serfs and other remaining supplies, turn them into money, and leave this place as soon as possible.
Who knows when these departed monsters will come again.
Even if the Kingdom later mobilized a Silver Knights, it could not prevent these pioneers from leaving this dangerous place.
Therefore, a large number of serfs flooded into the market, which directly cut the price of slaves in half.
In the past, a mature male slave cost fifteen gold coins, and a female serf cost twelve gold coins. Now it only costs half the price, and it also comes with a child.
Even so, there are many sellers and few buyers, and supply exceeds demand.
Trapped away from home and with no money, Weilin could only turn to Wesker and asked him to purchase 800 male serfs and 500 female serfs for a price of 9000 gold coins. He also paid 200 gold coins for food and freight, and asked Wesker to send someone Send it to the Lake of Praying Stars.
For such a good thing, Wesker is happy to oblige.
As for the fear that Verin would be unable to pay, Wesker didn't care at all.
He hoped that the other party would owe money and get a favor from the other party in vain.
On January 1, after five days in the small town of Grosvenor, the caravan set off, preparing to leave here and head to its next destination.
"Tom, this is your extra reward."
At the city gate, Raimundo took out two silver coins from his pocket and threw them to Tom, who was nodding and bowing.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
Tom took the silver coin respectfully, carefully put it into his inner pocket, and kept thanking Raymondo.
Afterwards, Raimundo ignored the tour guide who had been working as a guide for five days and loudly ordered the caravan: "Let's go."
Weilin was lying on the roof of a carriage, chewing on a plant similar to sugar cane. It was sweet and chewy, which made him pay attention to it, and he was ready to implement it when he returned to the territory.
In the next month, I passed through three destinations one after another, signed some business agreements with the local nobles, and everything else went smoothly.
But at the fifth destination, something unexpected happened.
Along the muddy road, there were scrawny serfs everywhere, and there were even many deserters mixed in among them.
"Sir, I've got it clear." Raimundo came to Weilin's side with a solemn expression and reported the report respectfully.
"Tell me why there is such chaos here." Weilin crossed his arms, stared at the refugees on the roadside, and asked.
"My lord, the situation is this. The lord of this place is named Kent Brome, and he is at war with the army of his son Bury Brome. The cause is about Kent Brome's daughter Evelyn Brome. "
"What?" Weilin looked at Raimundo in confusion.
After Raimundo got the news, he was also in disbelief. After all, this was too ruinous.
"Two months ago, Kent Brom suddenly became obsessed with his daughter Evelyn for some unknown reason. In order to get his daughter, Kent first brought his mistress to the military camp and forced her to admit that Evelyn was the child of her affair. He has no blood relationship.
When the baron's mistress refused to submit, Kent immediately threw her into a military prostitute camp. After three weeks of torture, after his mistress became completely "crazy", he forced her to admit that Evelyn was not related by blood to him. "
"What does this have to do with Kent's son?" Verin asked with a puzzled look on his face, touching his chin.
"That's the problem." Raimundo then replied, "While Kent stayed in the military camp for three weeks, Bury Brom took control of the entire castle and several surrounding towns, and announced that his father had been murdered. The demon possessed him, and then the two sides went to war.”
"No, why did Kent stay in the military camp for three weeks? Why did his son Bury turn against his father when he was already qualified to inherit the title? And where is Evelyn, the protagonist of this accident?" Verin was very worried. I quickly caught the problem.
"Um. My subordinates don't know yet, but the information they gathered is this." Raimondo touched the back of his head and said doubtfully.
"It seems that there is an ulterior conspiracy in it."
"Lord, shall we intervene?"
"What are you intervening in? This kind of thing will be solved soon. Let's take a detour and go to the terminal, Gresley. Maybe we will know the reason when we come back."
"Follow your orders."
Raimondo bowed and saluted, and then directed the caravan to change its route and head to Gresley.
