Chapter 741 The Grand Duke's Envoy (I'll take a day off today, update tomorrow, and have a
It was still a cold spring at this time, and the cold sunshine had no warmth at all, making people unable to feel any warmth.
The camp of the Jem people is filled with a sour smell. Their tents are cone-shaped and look like a lot of pointed hats from a distance. Most of the people are huddled in tattered linen sleeping bags.
"Dear Baron Field, I finally see you. May wealth always be by your side."
A man wearing green priest robes walked out of the camp. His appearance was different from the people of the Griffin Empire, with green eyes, a long and narrow face, and brown skin.
"A priest? It doesn't look like the Holy Light Church." Field raised his eyebrows, "I think you came to me not just for trade."
"Yes, we now serve the Grand Duke Gem."

The leader nodded and said: "In addition, we worship the goddess of wealth and trade. I am the Patriarch: Bradley."
Field's mouth twitched.
The goddess of wealth is really both feared and loved. I got a lot of treasures from her, but I was also tortured by her.
"Why does Grand Duke Gem want me? I am a loyal minister of the empire and have no interest in resisting the empire."
"No one is more loyal than me. If you are from the Grand Duke, please go back."
Field gestured back and forth like an accordion.
With a calm expression on his face, Bradley almost lost his composure in his heart: You are so loyal, even the Imperial Guard has begun a comprehensive investigation of you.
"Oh~ please don't be nervous. We are only talking about random trade. This time I am only here as a businessman."
"Then let's talk about trade."
Field had already had the idea of ββcontacting Grand Duke Gem, but the identity of the group of people in front of him was not certain.
"It is rumored that the Baron's army has extremely powerful military equipment. We hope to purchase high-quality swords, guns and armor."
"Besides, I need food too."
As he spoke, Bradley opened a small box, which was full of shining gems, blooming with magical brilliance.
"This is a magical gem produced by the Gem Leader. Whether it is used to make luxury goods or staffs, it is a high-quality choice."
"Yes, you can have it."
Field nodded with satisfaction. He was worried that the territory's weapons production capacity was overcapacity, and it would be just right to replace it with other supplies.
"But my Night Leader doesn't have that much need for magic gems."
"I need slaves, lots of slaves, regardless of race. And workers, workers in any industry, like textiles, brewing."
Bradley nodded: "No problem, I brought a lot of slaves with me this time. From now on, our caravan can have frequent exchanges and continuously import slaves to you."
The queen and the king fought openly, and both sides captured a lot of people from the other side.
"Then the trading location will be in Zhaoxia Ling."
The two parties discussed the price and determined the content of the trade.
A good sword was worth about five female slaves, or one male slave and five children. A set of old-style iron armor can buy 27 first-level magic gems.
"Back to business, I hope you can join the Grand Duke's camp." Bradley puffed up his chest, "I believe that you, with your sharp eyes, have foreseen the inevitable decline of the empire."
Field had a headache and waved his hand: "Let's talk about this topic next time."
"Lord Baron, please do not hesitate to become the Archduke's confidant now. It is much smarter than swearing allegiance in the future."
"I am a loyal minister of the Queen. Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity."
Field thought to himself: Itβs such an exciting conversation, but you didnβt even mention the benefits. Are you trying to get away with nothing? Besides, itβs hard to say whether you are a member of the Grand Duke or not, but you want to trick me into joining the gang?
However, since taking Zhaoxia City, the entire empire seems to have realized the strength of the Night Lord. With the help of powerful forces, the Night Leader will soon become a pawn and jump on the chessboard.
"That's it. Just go to Zhaoxia City for trade. That's my territory too."
After saying that, Field pretended to be angry and turned away.
"Did we fail?" A person slowly appeared in Bradley's shadow.
"No, as long as he is willing to trade with us, it means he has an idea."
Bradley waved his hand: "Although Field has enmity with us, we have to admit that his military capabilities are reliable. We need to win him over to join the Grand Duke's camp. We need someone who can weaken the Queen so that we can take over the entire empire."
"Unfortunately, Grand Duke Gem is too obsessed with blood and geography. The northerners who look down on the empire may suffer a big loss."
Due to historical factors, various regions of the empire have different geographical and cultural differences, and it is normal for them to despise each other.
The meeting with the caravan was just a small episode, after buying three hundred strong slaves and five carts of cloth.
Field returns to the night collar.
I immediately checked the spring plowing plan to see if it had been implemented.
At night, the land in the south and west is fertile for growing wheat, the land in the north is occupied by grapes and hops, the east side is occupied by various fruit trees, and the vacant areas are used to grow vegetables and new plants.
Near the border fortress, there is a magical farmland where frost candy trees are planted.
Of course, these planned planting areas belong to Field's own farmland. There were also scattered farmlands that were leased by freemen and agricultural merchants for farming.
They grow all kinds of things.
"Yes, there will definitely be a bumper harvest this year."
Field didn't want to make money from food, he just wanted to feed more people.
"Dong dong dong~"
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
The three logistics team of the Night Lord came together, and each of them carried a bow and arrow.
"My lord, there are many rabbits and deer in the woods now. Do you want to go hunting?" Charlotte smiled sunny and turned around like an elf.
"They didn't appear suddenly, but were raised by the lord." The mermaid loves Calisia and reminded her weakly.
Because she often swims in the water and has high exercise intensity, the mermaid's figure is a perfect curve.
Every inch of her skin is white and as exquisite as a sculpture.
The rabbit on her chest can't even hold the shirt. When you get very close, you can see a gem with a shining red halo.
"This figure... If you can make a swimsuit, it will be more perfect."
Field rubbed his chin. How can a mermaid not have a swimsuit.
"What is a swimsuit?" The little fox raised his hand and asked curiously.
"It's clothes specially for swimming." Field laughed, "Of course, it's time to get underwear, which will be very useful for the territory."
Charlotte narrowed her eyes: "Suspicious~ It feels like something evil."
"How could it be, I'm doing it for the health of the women in the territory."
Field waved his hand seriously, then changed the subject and said: "Let's talk about hunting. I'm very good at archery. It's time to show off."
After leaving the castle, Field took the warhorse.
But I saw Icarisia, who looked shy and timid.
"What's wrong?"
"My lord, I'm a mermaid and I can't ride a horse." Icarisia bit her soft lips.
