Scene 134 Roman’s Second Plan (Part 2)

"Will you talk to me?" he asked.

Regarding Antitina's question - Brando glanced at the locals who were like refugees and was not surprised. Here, even life itself is a fragile thing worthless. Antitina would never have thought that in some places you could get a boy for the price of a sheep, and if it was a girl, the price would be even lower.

With a little bit of power, or strength, you can trample on the existence of others. Both the robber and the lord were killing people, but the difference was that one was outside the city and the other was inside the city. Even if you kill people in the street, you only need to pay a small amount of money to the local lord. To put it more darkly, he might even want you to kill two more people.

Because in the eyes of some lords, real gold coins are much more lovely than those who need to spend money to support them.

Antitina was slightly startled.

She thought Brando was dissatisfied with her previous performance. Although she felt a little aggrieved, she still lowered her head and replied: "...I'm sorry! Lord, I was too willful."

Brando spread his hands: "You misunderstood, I never blamed you, Miss Antitina."

The noble daughter raised her head and glanced at him, as if to confirm the authenticity of his words. But then she lowered her head and said nothing.

"As for our territory, it needs to be further south." Brando replied again.

"To the south?"

Antitina was really dumbfounded now: "Leaving Tony Geer would be a wilderness."

"Have you heard of the Pioneer Knights, Antitina?" Brando asked.

"ah--"

The noble lady couldn't help shouting, how could she not know this. Those young nobles and knights who had no territorial inheritance obtained the right to expand the kingdom's territory from the Temple of Fire, and took a few followers to the wilderness to open up a brand new territory on their own. Such a story sounds like Like those fairy tales from bedside stories of the past. But she never thought that such a legend would happen to her. She felt a little panicked at first. After all, opening up territory in the wilderness sounded wonderful, but in fact it was an extremely dangerous thing. Such a thankless thing has not been done in Eruin for a hundred or two hundred years, so this moment sounds more like a fantasy.

But she calmed down immediately. What was the danger? Compared to the shaky old house in Prague, where she lived a life that was almost invisible to these people,

Isn't there at least a glimmer of hope for the latter? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Brando again - Pioneering Knight. In Eruin, this title sounded like those classical heroes, full of enterprising spirit. Although it is dangerous, it is romantic, and no matter which aspect, this lord meets the best standards in her heart.

It's just a pity that he already has a sweetheart.

Antitina lowered her eyelashes and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

She looked at Roman next to her. This business lady had been thoroughly educated by Brando after experiencing two bad records of running around on dangerous battlefields, and she was still keeping her peace. But at this moment, her eyes were interested on the other side, and then she said to the young man on the other side: "Brando, look over there -"

The eldest lady seemed to have a natural ability to attract everyone's attention, causing Antitina and Brando to turn back and look where she was pointing.

There are many foreign travelers on the street, just like them——

In fact, since Brando’s earth-shattering reaction to the artifact last month, news has spread in bars and hotels all over the world that Denel has an artifact. Bards from all over the world have brought this news to North, adventurers trying their luck flocked there. Mercenaries, explorers, not to mention those bounty hunters who took notice of the situation, they themselves were like hyenas or sharks that smelled blood, and they had already packed up and gathered here.

Even the Star and Moon Council and the Black Tower Wizards sent spies. Although the nobles were enthusiastic about the stormy situation in Eruin, they all sent their own spies. For a while, Denel actually came to Graf (Princess Regent) first. territory) one step at a time.

In just half a month, the floating population in this area has more than doubled. This is because Tonigel is always facing the threat of war and there are certain risks. Otherwise, this place must be a paradise for adventurers. In more peaceful times, the local lords would have been smiling.

But now, the situation has become somewhat complicated.

Brando's eyes swept over these people one by one - it was as if his aristocratic status was clearly distinct from these people. These adventurers are equally out of tune with the surrounding locals. They stand in the middle of the street, as if there are three completely different worlds existing on the street at the same time.

It feels like three types of people are depicted in the same painting using three completely different expression styles, with clear movement and stillness.

The adventurers have nothing to do with the locals, and the locals are unwilling to provoke these lawless people - at least most of them. But the part Roman was referring to was an exception.

Brando could see in his eyes that a small group of adventurers were distributing food to some skinny local children. This scene actually gave him the illusion of going back in time, as if he had returned to the world of the "Amber Sword" in the past. Those players who had too much sympathy at the time also did the same thing. But he immediately shook his head and threw away this unrealistic fantasy. Although most adventurers are profit-seeking people, there are still some young people who go out for adventure just for their dreams.

Just like the four men and two women I saw in front of me.

"Sure enough, he is a young man." Brando couldn't help but think that adventure was not actually a romantic life full of swords and swords as mentioned in the bedside story. Of course, it was full of swords and swords and it was no lie. However, the life of an adventurer is actually harsh and bloody. They have to frequent dangerous places, just like mercenaries. Life and death are common, and compared with the risks, the benefits are pitifully low. , although there is no shortage of people who get rich overnight, most of them end up as a pile of bones in an unknown place without exception.

Because of this, most adventures have to be practical and mercenary. And only young people will act with unrealistic ideals. Brando could even speculate that these young people might not even have really started traveling for long.

Or simply be a wealthy businessman or aristocratic queen.

But he turned around first and asked, "What are you looking at?"

But then he saw the business lady's beautiful dark brown gem-like eyes turning, as if a creative idea had emerged, and he felt that something was wrong, "What do you want to do?" Brando couldn't help but ask a little warily. Little Roman's repeated unconventional behavior had made him involuntarily alert.

"That's it." Roman replied matter-of-factly.

"Roman, we don't have much food left with us," Antitina reminded her in a low voice, as if she understood her thoughts in an instant: "The consumption of so many of us and horses is not a small sum. If you want to purchase so much food locally, you have to deal with the local lords. Have you forgotten the last time?"

What the noble daughter was talking about was that not long ago, when passing through the territory of a small noble, Brando went to buy food from the other party. However, the other party fell in love with Akane who went with him. As a result, he sent a private guard to kidnap the person that night. Although the more than 30 black iron-level private guards were a bit overestimated in front of Brando, and the final result was that they were defeated by the young people and blackmailed heavily, this matter was A wake-up call for everyone.

Although the kingdom has not yet collapsed, the local lords have already become unscrupulous.

Hearing what Antitina said, Brando couldn't help but look at the girl with some emotion. I thought that last time it was okay, he was an unknown little nobleman, but this time he was facing Baron Grudin. Although this guy is not worth mentioning in the history of Eruin, his father, Count Jean Denel, is not an ordinary person. It is estimated that if he led his men to kill him today, he would be chased by the count's army tomorrow.

He even once doubted that the army of Grand Duke Luen could come and go freely in the territory of Earl Jean Denel. Maybe the princess faction of the royal party had reached some agreement with the Earl himself. At least secret allies are indispensable. Of course, he will have to deal with these vampires one by one sooner or later, but that will have to wait until he has full wings and has a decisive say. Although it sounds a little unpleasant to say, it has to be said that power is still one of the most important rules in the world at least for now.

Unexpectedly, after Roman listened to Antitina's words, he shook his head happily and said with a little mystery: "Brando, Antitina, didn't you notice?"

"What did you find?"

"The way to do business——"

"ha?"

Brando couldn't help but touched the girl's forehead, which was as flat as jade, thinking she might have a fever. On the other hand, the younger sister of the wild elf elementalist asked with wide eyes and curiosity: "There is a saying in our hometown that businessmen do not walk with poverty - Miss Roman, are there business opportunities in such a barren place?"

"Tiya!" Sister Fuluo glared at her sternly.

The little elf girl was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

However, Roman didn't care about the little girl's rebuttal and replied matter-of-factly: "You can't say that. My aunt said that where there is exchange, there are merchants."

"That's right," Antitina shook her head, knowing that Tiya was not wrong. This place is not only poor, but also backward and isolated, and has no special products. There is not even a road for horse-drawn carriages to pass between the various territories. Commercial behavior is just a very distant term: "But here there is even a lack of necessary conditions for exchange... "

"Is that so? But isn't that an exchange?" The merchant lady asked with interest as she watched the behavior of the group of young adventurers. (To be continued. If you want to know what happened, please log in. There are more chapters. Support the author and genuine reading!)
