Chapter 55: Dare to come back

Tibers was shocked by his own guess and asked cautiously, "You are only 30 years old?"

When Peric heard this, he knew that the man in front of him must be from another place.

"Uncle, do you think I look old? Let me tell you, I look relatively young.

Look at the guy next to you, he is only 25 years old, doesn't he look older than me? Haha!

By the way, uncle, you haven't told me where you are from."

"Oh! Oh! I came from the territory of the Lawson family next door." Tibers still couldn't believe it was true, and replied like a sleepwalker.

The four or five people at the same table with Tibers stood up instantly when they heard about Tibers' origins.

Peric even grabbed Tibers' collar, opened his eyes wide, and asked loudly, "Where did you come from?"

Tibers saw that the other party suddenly changed his face and was surrounded by several big men, and he was a little panicked!

"What happened, everyone? Don't...don't fight! Let's talk it over!"

"Say it again, where are you from?"

Because Peric's voice was so loud, the whole tavern's attention was attracted by him.

Everyone thought that there was a spy, and they surrounded him with unfriendly faces, and some even drew their swords.

Tibers didn't know what happened, but when he saw everyone surrounding him, he was almost scared to death.

Peric saw him stunned and shook his collar vigorously.

"Tell me, where are you from?"

"From the...next...door...Lawson family...family territory." Tibers stammered back.

Instantly, the whole tavern was quiet for a moment.

Suddenly

"Fuck! You are finally back!"

"Fuck!"

"Fuck! You are finally back!"

...

I don't know who shouted first, and cheers broke out in the tavern.

Tibers looked at the scene of everyone cheering, and his face was confused.

Peric immediately changed his face into a smile, loosened Tibers' collar, and did not forget to help him smooth it when he let go.

At the same time, he said excitedly: "Brother, you are finally back!"

Tibers still doesn't understand what they mean by coming back without a beginning or an end.

But before he could ask clearly, the people around him all moved their chairs and sat next to him, surrounding him in three layers.

"Brother, what did you bring this time?"

"Brother, last time I specifically asked you to bring me a wife, did you bring it?"

"Brother..."

...

In the respectful voices of brother, Tibers finally understood that these people were waiting for the family to deliver goods to them.

Tibers wanted to tell them that he didn't bring anything this time, but looking at their weathered faces and their expectant looks, he really didn't want to make them sad.

So he said: "Everyone, can I say something?"

At this time, everyone realized that they were so busy asking questions that they forgot to give the brother a chance to speak, and they immediately became quiet again.

Tibers cleared his throat and said, "I understand your feelings, but now you also know that winter is coming, the sea will freeze, and our ships can't come in.

The goods can only arrive in the spring of next year.

I will come down first and build the port first, otherwise the goods will not be unloaded by then."

When everyone heard that there was no goods, they immediately lost interest, but thinking that the goods would arrive next year, there was always hope.

So he asked with concern: "You won't get into trouble again this time! I heard that you were taken over by orcs and robbers several times.

I thought you wouldn't come back, you must hold on this time!

If it doesn't work, notify us immediately if there is danger.

The brothers here have money but nowhere to spend it, we will help you kill the enemy for free."

"Don't worry! There will be no problem this time, you just wait for the goods to arrive in the spring of next year."

When everyone heard this, they smiled again and surrounded them to place orders.

Some wanted women, some wanted southern wine, some wanted lace panties, black... In short, everything.

Originally, Tibers came to recruit people, but it turned into an ordering meeting.

Many people came here after hearing the news, and for a time, the tavern was packed.

It's not their fault that they are so eager for goods.

In this northern land, you say there is nothing here, but it's not true. There is a lot of land here, and the forest resources are also very rich.

But you say it's rich here, maybe food and accommodation are not a problem, but you can't even buy buttons here, let alone other goods.

The root cause of all this is the various checkpoints on the road to the northern land.

These checkpoints strangled the neck of the northern trade route, high tolls, and various exploitations.

At the same time, the lords along the way collected high tolls but did nothing, so that bandits were rampant, and even they themselves were bandits.

This led to a significant increase in the cost of transporting goods to the north, and at the same time faced the risk of being robbed.

Therefore, many caravans were unwilling to transport supplies to the north, because they might lose money for each trip.

The people here fight the orcs every day, and there are a lot of bonuses.

But they have money, but they can't buy anything, it's just like scrap metal.

Now they hear that the Lawson family is going to deliver goods to the North again, how can they not be happy?

However, although everyone is very enthusiastic, there is a person in the tavern who sits quietly in the corner and does not participate.

His name is Alan, and he is a magic apprentice. When he heard the news, the corners of his mouth curled up.

Then he hurriedly drank the wine in the glass, put on his coat, and rushed home.

"Teacher, the Lawson family is back! We will be able to buy affordable magic stones soon."

As soon as he got home, Alan could no longer hide his excitement and couldn't wait to tell his teacher the good news.

Dakrian, who was writing at the desk, stopped writing the quill pen in his hand when he heard this, but immediately continued to write on his own.

"Where did you get the news?"

Alan saw that the teacher didn't seem very happy to hear the good news, and he couldn't help but wonder: the teacher is really weird, wearing a mask every day, and hearing such good news, he seemed a little unhappy.

Although Allen was puzzled, he did not dare to ask more questions, but answered honestly:

"A man from the Lawson family territory came to the tavern and was registering the goods to be purchased by everyone.

I didn't want to register with those rough guys, so I came back to tell the teacher first.

Teacher, when can we call that man over!

We are short of many magic materials. "

"Got it!" Dakrian still did not raise his head and continued his writing. He said lightly: "What is missing, you sort it out and give it to him at the time."

"Teacher, don't you really need to call him? Don't you have anything special to tell me?"

"No, you go down and sort it out first!"

"Okay! I'll go and sort out the materials now."

After that, Allen walked out of the study happily.

After Allen left, Dakrian finally stopped writing and leaned back in his chair. The only eyes exposed on the silver mask were full of sinister eyes.

Muttered to himself: "You dare to come back!"
