Chapter 1760 Visitors

"What? The outpost is under security?"

The temporary head of Kate's caravan, Aite stood in front of the Sika post and was blocked by soldiers. After hearing the soldiers' explanation, Aite couldn't help but look at Bol beside him.

Although Aite had served in Kate's caravan for ten years, most of the time he had followed orders. Suddenly he became the leader, which Aite was not used to at all.

Especially after what happened before, Aite was really frightened.

Now, unexpected changes have occurred in the planned temporary resting place, and Ait is even more distraught.

The distraught Aite did not hide his emotions.

Boll could tell at a glance.

However, Boll didn't mean to laugh at the other party at all.

In order to complete his main mission, Bol is now sparing no effort to win over anyone he can.

And Aite is a good choice.

In other words, the appearance of the independent emblem of the God of War in the Kate Chamber of Commerce fleet made Bol understand that the person in front of him was worth investing in.

Imagine that an accident occurred in the convoy, and the leader of the convoy and the leader of the guard died unexpectedly. Aite independently supported the entire caravan and safely brought the entire caravan back to Etantinoburg.

As long as the boss of the chamber of commerce is not a fool, he will always reuse Aite.

Likewise, as a person who contributed during the period, he was naturally able to enter the other party's field of vision.

In an instant, Bol, who had made up his mind in his heart, said immediately.

"The food we brought is enough. Although the post cannot be entered, we can rest outside the post temporarily."

"Okay, okay."

"I'll arrange it right away."

Aite nodded repeatedly and went to make arrangements.

It's no different than before.

Bol thought for a moment and stopped the other party.

"What's the matter, Mr. Ball?"

Aite looked at Bol in confusion.

"Mr. Aite, you are now the person in charge of the caravan. Even if you are the temporary person in charge, you should have your own aura and don't need to be submissive."

"What's more, a leader will affect the entire team."

"You know we still have nearly a day and a night to travel."

Bol reminded the other party.

Some things should be said right away, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Bol knew he needed allies, not enemies.

Aite was stunned.

"I know."

"But there are some habits that I really can't change."

"Thank you, Mr. Ball."

Aite smiled bitterly twice, and then sincerely thanked him.

Facing such sincere thanks, Bol smiled.

His purpose was achieved.

Next?

Naturally, it was time to light a fire and cook.

That person has very high requirements for food.

Under the command of Aite, the caravan arrived at the side of the outpost in an orderly manner and began to rest. Ashcano, who had already seen Boer packing and checking the carriage, untied the war horse that had been running all night and put the horse away. Pull the baby to one side to rest and feed it with fodder.

Pieces of bean cake were broken into pieces by Ashcano and placed in the straw bag.

The bodyguard turned to look at Bol while stroking the horse's mane.

To be precise, the big iron pot in front of Boll.

Two large stones formed a simple fire pit, the firewood inside was burning brightly, and the bacon, potatoes, radishes and onions in the pot were rolling up and down with the soup.

Several eggs wrapped in mud were thrown into the fire pit by Boer, while several large cakes stood sideways next to the iron pot. Soon, the aroma of wheat wafted away.

Ashcano's nose kept twitching and he kept swallowing saliva.

However, the bodyguard, who knew who was the boss in the team, immediately turned around and knocked on the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Sir Colin, it's time to eat."

Ashcano said loudly.

"OK."

Kieran opened the door and walked down.

Kieran would not refuse food, even if it tasted average, but he would still accept food made with care.

There is no doubt that Boll really worked hard.

Although... the craftsmanship is average.

"I've never learned cooking."

"You understand, I pay more attention to how to survive."

Bol frankly held the bowl and handed it to Qin Ran.

"Um."

Kieran nodded understandingly and took the bowl.

When players, especially rookie players, enter the dungeon world, they will not pay attention to skills such as cooking. Skills and props that can quickly increase their own strength are everything.

And this situation will not change even if you become an advanced player.

As for the mimosa?

That's special and doesn't count.

Thinking of mimosa, Kieran picked up the bowl and took a sip.

The flavor of the bacon has been completely integrated into the soup, the potatoes are stewed to a pulp, the radishes are soft, the scones are crispy, and the roasted eggs are just right. Just like other foods, there is no conflict, but there is nothing eye-catching. .

but……

Take charge!

Therefore, Kieran didn't think anything more and started eating his breakfast.

Bol looked at Qin Ran's appearance and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

For him, Kieran's expression without any change was the best thing.

As for more?

He made up his mind to learn cooking skills after returning to the huge city.

But that was later.

Now?

"Ash, eat."

Bol called to his bodyguards.

The bodyguard, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately joined the breakfast.

Not only Qin Ran and the three of them, the entire convoy was eating breakfast.

Some are as simple as brown bread and hot water.

Some, like Boer, bury the pot to make rice.

The period from when the sun rises to when it reaches the center of the sky is the rest time for the team.

In the early afternoon they continue on their way.

Of course, that's not all.

Some caravans who have experienced what happened last night will temporarily stay around the outpost. After a complete rest for a day, they will choose to hit the road at dawn, because they will reach the next outpost, Etantinoburg Outpost, before dark.

But this is destined not to be the choice of Kate's caravan and some caravans who must rush to Etantinoburg as soon as possible.

If possible, they don't want to risk it.

But they had no choice.

Most of it is because of contracts.

Caravans also have time to transport goods.

After this time, the merchant will pay a large Kimpton compensation.

This is enough to make most businessmen return to before liberation overnight, or even simply go bankrupt.

People who have already lived a life that is not decent, but is rich enough, absolutely do not want to return to the poor class.

So, they choose to take risks.

After breakfast, except for the necessary security personnel, the entire convoy fell into silence. Most people fell into a dream. After a night of fear and fear, the merchants at the outpost were finally able to have a good rest.

However, this definitely does not include Kieran.

After habitually checking his surroundings, Kieran looked into the distance, in the direction of Fort Etantino.

About ten minutes later——

Boom!

The sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder.

The sleeping merchants were awakened one after another, and they subconsciously picked up their weapons, while the caravan guards unsheathed their swords and lit the matchlocks of their matchlock guns.

The soldiers at the Sika post even walked up to the wooden fortifications of the post, looking cautiously in the direction of Fort Etantino.

It wasn't until the hundred-man cavalry team appeared and looked at the golden swallow-tailed flag held high by the leading knight that everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

The golden swallowtail flag flutters in the wind.

The eagle pattern on it looks like it is flying high.

This is the emblem of the royal family of Atantin.

When the team arrived in front of the Sika post, they all reined in their horses. One of the soldiers in leather armor jumped off the horse and ran directly to the Sika post.

After a while, when the soldier returned, the cavalry team of a hundred people ran towards the direction of Sika City again.

Throughout the entire process, this team did not have any communication with the merchant team, and did not even take a second look.

The merchants were also very cooperative and did not make any noise. It was only after the cavalry team left that they started talking in low voices.

"This is the Royal Guard Cavalry."

"It is an elite army created by His Majesty the First Emperor who once created the entire Etentin."

"Why are they here who defend Etantinople?"

"Is it to welcome the new lord of Xika Territory?"

"It seems that His Majesty the Sixth King really values ​​the new lord!"

"Of course!"

"In the entire Etantine, no, in the entire Northern Continent, who else has the new lord who is 'attention-grabbing' - you know, she is an extremely 'rich' widow."

"And our Sixth Majesty's treasury is not very generous, otherwise, he would not have issued such a decree."

"So, you understand."

…

The businessmen were undoubtedly well informed.

Soon, some rumors that were difficult to distinguish between true and false appeared in the caravan.

After Bol heard the news, he quietly observed Kieran's expression.

In Bol's mind, what happened in the Xika Territory was inseparable from Kieran. To put it simply, Kieran took advantage of a series of emergencies to control the entire Xika Territory.

Now suddenly someone appears and wants to compete for the fruits of victory and pick peaches.

According to the rumored character of the 'Demon of Fire', this royal guard should die without a burial place.

However, to Bol's expectation, Kieran showed no expression at all and just leaned on the chair in the carriage, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Kieran showed no expression, and Boer became more and more afraid to ask.

He was doing what he was supposed to do——

Fill the furnace with carbon to make the entire cabin warmer.

The sound of charcoal being filled into the stove kept reaching Kieran's ears. The observation that Boer thought was hidden just now did not escape Kieran's intuition.

But Qin Ran didn't have any more explanation.

Just like he would never tell the other party, he had already arranged everything.

Otherwise, why would he send an evil spirit to follow the baroness?

Just to see the Baroness looking at the upper evil spirit like a girl?

He's not that boring.

He just pays attention to higher-level evil spirits occasionally.

…

The superior evil spirit who had been sitting opposite the Baroness and seemed to be sleeping suddenly opened his eyes.

The corners of its mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Everything is as Boss expected."

"Even a king facing a large land will not be unmoved."

The current situation in Xika collar is extremely special.

After the viscount died, especially the other son's whereabouts were unknown, and a large number of relatives were executed, the only real heir left was the baroness.

Even if the other party has not officially inherited the territory of Xika Territory.

However, the other party's worth is no longer the same as before.

It can even be said to be extremely popular.

Because no one would or would mind 'marrying' this widow, and then inheriting a large amount of land in the entire Sika Territory through her.

The land is sacrosanct!

This is a fact recognized by the entire Etentin, and even the Hokuriku and the South.

However, community property between husband and wife is also recognized.

Especially after one party is at a ‘disadvantage’, such recognition is even more obvious.

In this regard, in order to better serve his boss, the upper evil spirit has learned about it.

At the same time, the superior evil spirits know one sentence more clearly: ‘Never overestimate a person’s bottom line when facing temptation. ’

So it looked towards the Baroness.

"What Simon?"

The sensitive Baroness noticed when the upper evil spirit opened its eyes. When the upper evil spirit looked at her, the new Lord Sika immediately asked.

However, it was not a question, but a weak question.

"Eileen, my Lord tells me there is trouble coming."

The upper evil spirits did not hide anything.

"trouble?"

"From..."

The Baroness did not speak the exact words, but raised her finger and pointed in the direction of Etantinople.

The superior evil spirit nodded.

The Baroness sighed softly, a look of sadness on her face.

As a baroness born into a noble family, although she is a homebody and is afraid of social interaction, it does not mean that she is stupid. On the contrary, a large amount of reading has given her insights that ordinary people do not have.

So the Baroness was well aware of her situation.

Otherwise, when her brother passed away, she would not have wanted to go to Etantinoburg immediately.

Because she knew very well that only where she went could she survive among a group of greedy people and gain a chance of survival.

However, things are different now.

All the greedy people inside were cleared out.

this is a good news.

But there is still bad news.

The bad news is: she has to deal with the greedy outsiders.

A group of more vicious and cunning guys.

Moreover, the leader of the opponent must be the Atantin VI.

To make matters worse, she is heading to the enemy's lair: Etantinople.

When she thought of this, the Baroness immediately became confused.

Extensive reading gave the Baroness insights that were different from ordinary people, but it did not give her the corresponding abilities.

On paper.

Perhaps that's the best word to describe the Baroness.

But thankfully, she's not alone.

Without any hesitation, the baroness took the superior evil spirit's hand, held it in her hands, and placed it in front of her chin. The posture seemed to be praying, and there was something floating in her eyes. A touch of prayer.

"Simon, help me."

"Of course, my lady."

"That's why I'm traveling."

The superior evil spirit nodded with a smile, then calmly took his hand out and wiped it behind his back without the Baroness noticing.
