Scene 29 Roman’s Plan

Act 29 Roman’s plan

Among the Astromancer months, the beginning of each year is called the Moon of Winterharp. Winter Harp governs a person's charm, so January is the month of social interaction, and most banquets and winter hunting activities in the kingdom will be held in this month.

June is called the Summer Moon, which means the moonlight on summer nights. It is the day when Warnd's magic power revives after his entire summer slumber. Therefore, the activities of wizards usually become more frequent after this month, whether they are living or dead wizards.

But in July, the month of fire, the day when the sun walks on the earth. The sun god Perkin controls power, so this month is the month of power. In the far east, the orcs hold their largest celebration, the Fire Festival, in this month.

Likewise, this is also a crucial month for the countries under the wings of the Temple of Fire. Eruin's annual grand ceremony, the celebration of the Fire Festival, should have kicked off early in this month. However, in the Golan Elson area, farmers and noble officials are now being held because at the end of May Since then, the bad news about the continuous war has come, so I don't feel like this for the time being.

However, it seems that the situation has improved a bit. There are rumors in the countryside that the army of terrible monsters from the south stopped at Dragos and stopped moving north. Then there was a rumor that the Silver Wings Cavalry won two battles on the front line and captured many troops. Less battle flag.

But there are also some who say they were defeated. In short, there are all kinds of news behind the scenes, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false. But thank God, country people are always willing to believe in good things. Fortunately, Lord Nagin of Fort Bragg was wise and brave and was able to protect one side. Everyone praised this.

On the seventh day, the Instar dragon army turned to Gendenel, and the countryside of Goran Elson became calm again.

It is said that everyone saw that the war was over, because July is the day when the sun walks on the earth, and the undead will burn as soon as it touches the ground, and the kingdom will naturally turn to counterattack.

Such rumors spread from nowhere and spread widely in the area within a few days.

Brando sat at a nanmu table, easily listening to the conversation among several country farmers not far away. It had been two days since he and others left Ankeze and headed towards Braggs along the avenue. It was becoming less stressful, the undead were dwindling, and these farmers were at least right about one thing: the war was almost coming to an end.

Madden brought the villagers of Butchi to Ankeze. News of the fall of the Butchi area reached the Vanmeer Fortress, and he naturally became a hero. Even Butch's security team and militiamen were all benefited. Freya was on the commendation list like Roman, but this was still a small head, and Brando knew that the highlight was yet to come.

After the war, the kingdom needs heroes,

This is the only way to inspire people. In propaganda wars, you will always fight yours, and I will fight mine. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose, as long as a bunch of flowers are enough.

However, when they arrived at Ankeze, Madden and his party were sent to Braggs first. The nobles were eager to reap practical benefits. The guard and militia needed real praise, and they only needed to have a reputation for being an effective commander. , there is no conflict between them.

Although Brando had known that this title would eventually fall on Count Pula, the commander of the White Mane Army, but if you go into details, the details inside are nothing more than a conspiracy between the local nobles and the local army.

However, there were two pieces of news that were beyond Brando's expectations.

First, Butch's garrison was not completely wiped out. Hearing that Brayson and his two deputies survived, Brando felt as sick as eating flies when he thought of that annoying guy.

But no matter what, as someone who has shared the joys and sorrows, he felt a faint sigh of relief in his heart.

And another news that seems a bit meaningful is that Tiger Luc Besson is not dead. When Brando confirmed the news, his whole body felt as if he was struck by lightning. He was neither worried nor relieved, but had an inexplicable illusion of worrying about gains and losses.

Has history changed because of him?

"Damn, these idiots! It's obviously just Madara who changed the original intention of the attack. What does it have to do with those timid nobles? These people don't know anything about Brando and Earl Najin. ?”

Freya couldn't help but complain softly. The young man raised his head and saw the disdain on the girl's face.

Brando couldn't help but laugh: "Count Nagin is the head of the Dragos family. This family is named after this place. It has a long history, which is not comparable to that of ordinary small nobles."

The girl with a long ponytail was startled after hearing this, and her confidence was reduced by half: "But, he can't take everyone's credit..."

"The purpose of those big shots is different from ours, and we will have nothing to do with them." Brando smiled: "Besides, you don't have to be angry with these farmers in the countryside. Of course, you look down on those nobles because you know There is something in their bones. But these farmers in the countryside don't know that in their eyes, the nobles are high-ranking and powerful people, and it is natural to think so."

Freya was startled for a moment, and then she remembered that she had been the same before, thinking that the people in the city were arrogant and well-informed, while the nobles were superior and in control. She couldn't help but look at the young man across the table. It seemed that after meeting Brando, she had grown up little by little and understood many more truths than before.

Things that seemed unfathomable to her before now seemed to be normal. But what is driving this change, or is Brando really so magical?

Brando saw her thinking and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I wonder if I have changed."

"People are bound to change, Freya, but the difference is somewhere."

"Huh?" The girl was slightly stunned and looked at him doubtfully with her light brown eyes.

"wisdom."

"wisdom?"

"Wisdom means that you see more and understand more than they do. The more you see and understand, the more ordinary the world becomes in your eyes." Brando replied.

"What about you, Brando?" Freya thought for a while and couldn't help but ask the question she had always wanted to ask.

"Compared to you, so to speak. But once you understand more things, the world becomes more complicated in your eyes, giving you a kind of endless fear and fear." The young man thought for a moment and answered. road.

Freya thought for a moment and slowly shook her head.

Brando smiled and said, "You will understand." But he immediately saw the businesswoman putting her chin on the table boredly, then raising her eyes and looking here with a pitiful look, and couldn't help but sigh. Half of his good temper is gone.

"What are you doing again?" he asked.

"No." Roman denied.

He was speechless for a moment.

It has to be said that this young lady's out-of-the-box thinking often makes young people's questions unsustainable. Brando thought for a while and could only change the topic: "By the way, since yesterday, you have been writing... What?"

Roman's eyes suddenly shone, she sat up and replied: "We are calculating the price, Brando."

"price?"

"Because since the end of the New Moon, the price of food in Ankeze has increased by more than 50%. If the war can last until winter, then the business lady Roman will be able to complete her first business." The future business lady said confidently replied.

Roman's words shocked both of them. They saw this girl having so much fun alone in Ankeze two days ago. They thought she was completing her own adventure again, but they didn't expect that she had completed it unknowingly. market survey.

But Brando was surprised by the business lady's sensitivity, and Freya was simply surprised that her friend also had such a serious side.

"It seems like you can't finish it," Brando became interested and couldn't help but reply: "The war will last until mid-July at most. Miss Big Businessman, your first plan is about to come to nothing."

"Really?" Roman couldn't help but ask.

"It's almost 10%." Brando said in his heart, it should be 100%. But he wanted to see the businesswoman being hit even more, but unfortunately he was quickly disappointed.

"Hey, Brando." Roman blinked: "I heard that Braggs has been transporting wine and food from Dragos, Ankeze, and Butchi areas in the past years, right? Ankeze and Drague Has it always been an important grain-producing area in the southern Golan Elson?"

Brando couldn't help but look at little Roman, thinking that you even heard about this.

"In this way, Bragues has a population of 35,000. Due to the state of war, brewing should be stopped from the end of May, right?"

"If the nobles had received the news in advance, I'm afraid it would have started in early May." Brando couldn't help but think that the signs of war were actually manifested in all aspects, but ordinary people rarely noticed it.

The businesswoman twirled her fingers: "In this way, if the war ends in mid-July, I'm afraid Ankeze won't be able to support two celebrations in time. If Braggs wants to collect wine and food from the north, they will have to cross the border. Gray Eagle Mountains, in that case, including losses, the price of alcohol in this area will probably be inflated."

Brando was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "Who told you this?"

"Auntie often said that if you ignore the experience of the elderly, you will be punished by heaven." Roman looked at the two of them with bright eyes and replied seriously: "There is old John from the Manolan family, and old man Anton." , and the lame Calvin, Roman is very lovable. Some of these old people have been brewing wine for the Prague area for most of their lives! Brando, would you like the big businessman Roman to introduce you to it? One of them, they’re pretty powerful.”

Brando couldn't help but glance at the business lady whose tail was about to rise to the sky. He believed that her little temper would be liked by many people, but what about Mr. Roman?

"So you want to take advantage of the end of the war to make a fortune? Is this your plan?" he asked.

The business lady nodded like a fool.

"Lack of money?"

The business lady continued to nod like garlic.

"Wait a minute," Freya stood up at the right time. She couldn't help frowning and said, "Brando, don't you want to accompany Roman to go crazy? We don't have much money in hand."

"Freya, maybe little Roman will give us a surprise."

But Freya didn't believe in such things as pie falling from the sky.
