Chapter 342 Mantis stalks cicada

"To be precise, it's 21,362 gold coins," Levi Bengtson, who knew that the paper trick had also been exposed, said calmly, "Excuse me, Sir Ron, even if it's only a loss of 20,000 gold coins, we can't afford it. After all, we are just one of the three major families in Yungang."

"Your profit is net profit!" Constance knocked on the table with a bad face, "Sir Bengtson, do you think all of us are goblins?"

Drivedo didn't say anything. He took the chart from Ron's hand and looked at it back and forth. The conclusion he came to was that the other party seemed to have indeed lost money, and lost a lot.

But Ron and the others obviously didn't think so, and the goblin hunter didn't care whether the other party lost money or not - it's better to say that it's good to lose money, anyway, he doesn't like these two guys.

If Constance insists on using him as an example, then so be it.

"Net profit is net profit, but our Bengerson family is prosperous, and each person gets very little. Now many people are complaining about your territory, and they are so aggressive."

"Why, you still want to compete with us for this?" Ron laughed, "Then come on, you can cross the entire Gobi Desert to attack us if you have the courage."

"You sound fearless?" Levi narrowed his eyes. He had already inquired about it. This lord is a refugee from the north of Fromm Town. Although he had been active in the vicinity of the City-State Alliance some time ago, except for persuading Rose City to remain neutral in the conflict with Carolina, he seems to have no other foreign aid.

Even so, it is better to be steady - Bengtson can't really send people to attack the Delusion Land. Not only will the empty rear make it easy for other families in Yungang to attack, but public opinion is also not favorable to them. If they really want to completely remove this nail, it is better to reach an agreement with the city-state alliance in the south, which is safer.

Thinking of this, Levi immediately put away his eager look: "You are joking, our Excellency, we definitely don't have any intention of having any improper thoughts about the land of delusion, but I am here with a mission. The family has suffered so much loss, how can we just let it go like this."

"Just tell me, what do you want?"

"One price: 100,000 gold coins," Levi said shockingly. Even though he saw that the people next to Ron had stood up, he still wanted to finish the price. "Sir Ron, your consultants don't need to react so much. The family just asks you to compensate for the economic losses you have caused in the past six months - by the way, you have to stop this trade route."

"Stop?" Ron was so angry that he laughed, "Then I would like to listen carefully, how What's the way to stop it-set up checkpoints along the road and withhold goods? "

"No, no, no, you can use more gentle means, I have thought of it for you," Levi said confidently, "The climate in the north is getting colder and colder, and it is now close to winter. You can use this as an excuse to increase customs taxes. Merchants will naturally leave for profit, and you will not be criticized. "

"For example, you can charge road maintenance fees, carriage fees, etc. With these taxes, you can earn more than you do now, and the interests of our family will not be harmed. I believe you can cooperate with us happily. "

"Is this kid's brain squeezed by the door?" Now even Driver can hear something wrong-isn't this one of the methods they used in the cave? It's just that the name sounds better!

As a goblin from that time, which of the two is more popular and more comfortable, how can he not know?

Ron completely lost interest in negotiating with this kind of person who still had no ACD in his heart even after experiencing the threat of death. However, half an hour later, Levi and Stellan were stripped of their shirts and thrown into the street. An order from the lord quickly spread throughout the New Green Swamp Town: All caravans from the Bengtson family must pay high road maintenance fees, carriage fees and land occupation fees if they want to trade in the Delusion Land!

"What's the use of land occupation fees?" Ivy looked at Ron who walked out with his hands behind his back and asked curiously, "They definitely don't plan to open a chamber of commerce here."

"The caravan doesn't occupy the land, but people do," Ron looked at Stellan, whose bald head was purple with anger under the steps, "See, they touched the ground, and they want to pay for touching the ground!"

"I protest the above fees! How dare you treat a knight like this!" Levi was helped up by the followers waiting outside, and he shouted angrily, "Ron! Are you really going to trade with Bengtson? Are the families going to war? "

"Do you dare to declare war?" Ron sneered, and a dragon roar came faintly from the only high tower in New Green Swamp Town, "By the way, you have to pay the above fees even if you protest!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to pay. I will hang signs at all the intersections in my territory to let all passers-by know that you Bengersons have broken your promise to me from now on!"

"You!"

The City-State Alliance wants to go to Yungang by land, and it is a must-pass place. What's the difference between this and notifying all the merchants in the south?

"Our family will definitely seek justice!"

While the two Bengtsons were fighting in front, their caravan's station was unusually silent. They doubled the guards at the gate of the station, and anyone who wanted to get close to watch the excitement would be driven away without mercy.

If a stealth expert sneaked into the station at this time, he would find that the silence here was not accidental.

Almost all the caravan guards, servants, and accountants were gathered in the yard. Under the influence of some force, these ordinary people were lying on the ground in a mess, without any intention of resistance. In the whole yard and even the whole station, only two people were still standing.

The tall and thin one was a female spotted cat person, and the sturdier one was a man wearing a monochrome mask. Judging from his body shape, he should be a dwarf. They were all dressed in the clothes of the Bengtson family's retainers, with a silver star on their shoulders.

"Master, the suggestion of 'Purple Rhythm' is very successful. Those two idiots, Levi and Stellan, are now making trouble with the lord here." The cat-man respectfully handed the dwarf a pendant. The rope of the pendant was made of gold wire, which set off the mysterious atmosphere of the amethyst on it.

However, even such a precious magic item has a limited number of uses. Hypnotizing the living people in the entire station at one time completely exhausted the power of the pendant. When the dwarf took it, the slight shaking became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Accompanied by a slight breaking sound, several irregular cracks appeared on the surface of the amethyst.

"Master..."

"It's okay, we are just about to leave," the dwarf waved his hand, and the figures of him and the cat-man became blurred in an instant. After a while, there were only two ordinary humans left on the ground, "Since the Bengtson family has made a mistake, it's time for us to step in."

"Master, you are very smart," the servant who transformed into a female cat-man, but in his original form was a fifty-year-old man, bowed and saluted, "The three major families in Yungang, Milkway focuses on dealing with mermaids and the like, and doesn't care about matters on the shore; Bengtson showed his big eyes in public again today, and if the lord of the delusion land wants to continue to maintain his relationship with Yungang, he should We can only rely on you."

"During the negotiation, will you still be behind the scenes? If so, what is our bottom line?"

"There is no need to rush for details," the man, who was almost as tall as Levi, waved his hand, "Mark, take down the emblems of the Bengtson family first, let's go to another place and wait for the opportunity - has the hotel been booked?"

"It's booked," the old man took off the silver star on his shoulder, "It's interesting to say that the hotel was actually opened by a group of dog-headed people, and there is a huge black dragon head painted on the front desk. They..."

The relationship between the old man and the man was probably very close, even if there was a difference between master and servant. However, the man at the moment was not interested in listening to these nonsense: "Uncle Mark, we will have plenty of time to talk about these interesting things later. Now, we have to leave as soon as possible, before these people wake up and Levi comes back."

"We will visit this "hard-boned" lord in the evening. Before that, I have to find a place to rest and let my face breathe."

Walking out of the Bengtson caravan's station and turning a few street corners, the man slowly took off the mask on his face. Three or five huge scars across his face were extremely hideous on the man's originally handsome face.

"Levi Bengtson, you ruined my face, and I will trample the face of the entire Bengtson family under the feet of my Holt family!"
