Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 82: Crossing the river and arriving

Chapter 82 Crossing the River and Arriving

Viscount Cormath didn't do anything about the materials handed over at noon the next day. Maybe he couldn't wait for Lorist to leave his Viscount as soon as possible, so he was assured that he gave Shadekampf a big surprise. Lord Viscount provided Lorist's caravan with seven carts of grain and three carts of fine linen cloth. They were brought along with goods and vehicles, which made Shadekampf, who could not purchase long-distance freight carriage in Fengyata Town, couldn't help it.

With the addition of ten freight carriage s, Shadekampf will not have to worry about the shipment of goods. After overnight maintenance and preparations, Lorist set foot on the northbound journey again on the morning of February 11.

Three days later, Lorist ’s caravan arrived at the border city of Nadgas, Andinak Kingdom and Madras Dukedom. After a day of rest, they set off again and entered Madras Dukedom.

Compared with Andinak Kingdom, the situation of Madras Dukedom is obviously better, whether it is people's livelihood or law and order. This is due to Madras Grand Duke. During the Empire civil war, he defended himself. No one trespassed, and no one invaded. He did not attack, but he kept the border and strengthened the defense facilities. This earned him the title of Grand Duke(s) and Madras Dukedom. Less injuries were suffered during the civil war.

Lorist's caravan ran from the southern Xinjiang to the northern Xinjiang of Madras Dukedom. The distance was more than 1,300 miles. Within seven days, only two bandits and a group of horse thieves were encountered. Of course, these guys who didn't have long eyes soon regretted that they should not hit the caravan idea. When reaching the natural dividing line of the Madras Dukedom and Northern Land plateau Mido Brojiang, Lorist's caravan already added six carriage full of trophies, and There are more than seventy prisoners.

"Lord(s), after crossing the Miduobuluo River, we are on the edge of Northern Land, and there are only nearly seven hundred miles away. We do n’t need to rush the road overnight, even if we walk a hundred miles a day, it is enough to rush before March. It ’s time for the family Territory. ”Shadekampf was relieved. Finally, he and Patt did not delay the return of Lorist to inherit the title and family Territory.

The Mitobuluo River in front of you is spacious and calm, and the clear water flows quietly.

Crossing the Miduobuluo River, you can see the distant heights in the distance, with lush green dots dotted in the endless mountains and rivers.

That's Northern Land, the hometown of the original owner of this body Little Locke ...

Lorist stares into the distance, where it will be its new hometown ...

"I remember that when I left the Northern Land with my family caravan ten years ago, I passed a cable bridge. The river under the bridge was surging and there was no such peace and tranquility in front of me ..."

"Lord(s), what you said is the Henderly Fosso Bridge, which is upstream of the Midobuluo River, more than a hundred miles away. After crossing the Henderly Fosso Bridge, you will reach Northern Land Grand Duke(s) Loggins Lord(s) Territory Riested Castle. At the beginning, you said that you didn't want to deal with this Grand Duke(s) for the time being, so I chose to cross the river from here. This is one of the two ferries crossing the Mitobro River to Northern Land. After crossing the river, wear it again It will reach our family Territory after seven Territory, "Shadekampf explained.

"Where is the ferry?" Lorist asked.

"Not far ahead, that is Territory of Baron of Xiulas. Our so many cars and horses crossing the river will make Xiulas Baron earn a lot of ferry fees." Shadekampf said.

"You still have to pay the money you need to pay. Let's go and camp over the river and rest for a day." Lorist said.

...

As Aristocrat(s), it is free in other Lord(s)'s Territory. Like caravan led by Lorist, as long as you show the family badge, it means that this is the family caravan, not a caravan, and you do n’t need to pay for general customs clearance or passing other Lord(s) Territory. But crossing the river is different, Lorist also has to pay the ferry fee.

The ferry terminal of Baron is not large, there are only two ferries. A large sign is erected on the pier, which is the clear price of various ferry fees: one person, one Empire silver coin(s). One horse, ten Empire silver coin(s), a four-wheeled long-distance freight transport carriage full of cargo, an Empire elderly head gold coin(s) and so on. Even Aristocrat(s) does not have free preferential treatment and discounts, and the only care is to give priority to the right of way.

Lorist said that it is a priority to pass this fart. There are not many people going across the river at all. The boatmen on the two ferries had sheep, and an old man was on the boat to repair the oars.

The arrival of caravan made the secluded ferry noisy and extraordinary, so that it shocked Shurath Baron, and took a small team of garrison soldiers to the ferry to check it in person, check the vehicles and people to cross the river, and finally Holding the caravan ferry fee given by Lorist, a large bag of gold coin(s) burst into laughter and couldn't stop laughing. The happy Hula Baron ordered him to return to his manor castle and fetch a few bottles of fine wine. He set down the tables and chairs at the ferry and sincerely invited Lorist to taste it.

Lorist felt really painful. A ferry boat carried a four-wheeled carriage and several people at a time. Four boatmen desperately paddling, it took an hour to go back and forth. Their own caravan has nearly one hundred carriage s, six hundred come to Malaysia, and how much time will it take for more than five hundred people to cross the river by these two ferries? There are only eight boatmen. They will also be tired and need to eat, sleep and rest. In this way, it will take at least six or seven days for all the caravan to cross the river.

Shulas Baron feels sorry, after all, he has collected so many ferry fees, but he really only has these two ferries and these boatmen in his Territory, so he can only show that he cannot help.

Lorist asks, is there a rope?

Xiu Laas Baron nodded, there are many ropes. Because Territory is on the waterfront, there are many reeds growing on the waterfront. Shuras Baron orders people to harvest a large number of reeds every year, and then uses reeds to make straw mats and ropes. This is also a special product of his Territory. Every year It can increase the revenue of two or three gold coin(s)s for Baron.

Lorist asked Shuras Baron to send people a lot of ropes, first connected the ropes, tied a rope to the bow and stern of the two ferries, and ordered people to make four big bows on both sides of the strait. , To the rope, tow the ferry with 轱 辘. This not only saves the physical strength of the boatman, so that only two boatmen on the ferry are required to ensure the stability and docking of the ferry boat, but also greatly reduces the time of round trips. The round trip from one hour to less than half an hour has accelerated the crossing of caravan. River.

Even so, when Lorist set foot on the ferry as the last batch of caravan personnel, already was the evening of the next day. The Shadekampf greeted by the ship came to see the shore deliberately came to see Lorist off, and waved Xiulaz Baron, saying indignantly: "Our trip to caravan made Xiulaz Baron earn nearly 150 Ten Empire gold coin(s). No wonder he was so attentive that he almost ran off and ran off. "

Lorist also waved a few hands towards the shore of Shuras Baron. Last night he accepted the invitation of Shuras Baron and took Orville Keith to visit the manor castle of Baron. It touched the old bearded robber. . In fact, Lorist took him only because Joske brought Patt and Shadekampf to cross the river to arrange camping. Only Reidy, Orville Keith, and Lorist were left here. After receiving the invitation, Lorist considered Reidy to look at the followers and cross the river. Bring a beard to dinner.

Lorist brought a set of half-length plate armor with gold wire pattern to Xiulas Baron as a gift. This is the loot of the horse thieves encountered on the road. I don't know which unlucky egg Aristocrat(s) the horse thief robbed, and the horse thief proudly wore it on his body. Because it was too gorgeous and dazzling, Joske stared at it with an arrow and throat, killing the horse thief. This set of gorgeous plate armor is in the hands of Lorist.

Lorist estimates that this set of half-length plate armor should be specially customized as an adult gift to a male child of Aristocrat(s) Aristocratic Family, so the family crest has not been engraved on the plate armor. It is very suitable as a gift. Anyway, the Lorist does not like the gorgeous style of this half-length plate armor. Wearing such plate armor is called to the enemy. Come to attack me and shoot me with arrows. This self-seeking method is not Lorist's dish.

Shuras Baron likes the gift from Lorist very much, and Jane is in love with it. After the banquet, the bearded Orville Keith consciously resigned from the dock to assist Reidy to arrange the affairs of the caravan to cross the river overnight, and Shuras Baron invited Lorist to the study to appreciate his dozen bottles of long-standing wine.

In the study, Xiulas Baron once again thanked Lorist. He said that in the past three or four months, the family caravan of Northern Land Lord(s) who wanted to cross the river from his small crossing in Territory had a lot of capacity, but it was limited by capacity. Many caravan did not want to wait and went to the Hendry Fusuo Bridge to cross the river from there I lost a lot of ferry fees. Now that the ferry at the dock has been improved by Lorist, it has almost doubled its efficiency. It is believed that it will attract many Northern Land family caravan to cross the river from themselves.

Lorist is very strange. I didn't want to deal with the Loggins Grand Duke(s). I chose this road that avoids Northern Land Grand Duke(s) Territory. Why do other Northern Land families caravan choose to cross the river from here?

"Isn't it that the crossing of the river at Henderly's Fusuo Bridge is half the cost of the ferry boat at Lord Baron? Why do those Northern Land families caravan choose to cross the river from here?" Lorist asked.

Shuras Baron He smiled proudly: " Northern Land Grand Duke(s) Loggins Lord(s) It is famous for being insatiable. The cost of crossing the river at Henderley's Fosso Bridge is half less than mine. Grand Duke(s) Freid castle. Loggins Grand Duke(s) There are strict checkpoints set there, although Aristocrat(s) Pass tax-free, just let Grand Duke(s) Find caravan There were materials he was interested in, and they were forced to collect only half of the market price. Good luck only lost one or two cars carriage , Bad luck is levied caravan Half of it Northern Land Aristocrat(s) Complained, but Grand Duke(s) No, so they would rather choose to cross the river from my small crossing. "

Lorist stood on the ferry, and the cold Jiangfeng blowing on him made him feel sober. Recalling the words that Xiulaz Baron said last night, although the Northern Land is vast in area and has the Midobuluojiang River as a natural danger, there are only two main roads for external traffic. One is that the Henderly Fosso Bridge connects the two sides, but that is in the hands of Northern Land Grand Duke(s). The second is the mid-reach river Baron Territory in the middle of the river that twists and flows in the Mitobuluo River. However, this section of the river is extremely vast and can only be bridged by ferries, which takes time.

The only reason why the Miduobuluo River was relied on as Northern Land is that the area it flows around Northern Land is either a cliff or a cliff, or the river is rocky and turbulent. Except for the mid-reach Xiulaos Baron Territory, the criss-crossing river surface of the ten-thousand-meter Mitobuluo River is relatively calm and peaceful, there is no way to sail in other rivers.

Lorist suspects that Northern Land has a large population and is scarce. It is difficult to attract exiles to land reclamation and make Northern Land fully developed because the traffic throats are in the hands of private individuals, such as Loggins Grand Duke(s) and Shuras Baron. It is the fees charged by the crossing, which is their inexhaustible source of gold mines.

Even after the caravan of Charade, they successfully reached the family Territory. The main traffic routes are in the hands of other Lord(s). They can cut off the family's external relations at any time. In that case, the family Territory still cannot be fully developed and sustained. As the previous propaganda slogan said, if you want to get rich and build the road, how can this road Territory develop?

Maybe after inheriting the family Territory, you must first plan to develop a new way of external traffic to avoid being choked by your throat. Alas, there is a long way to go. Lorist looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance with a touch of sorrow and heart full of thoughts.

Because the crossing of the river was delayed for a day, Lorist only led caravan to resume the family Territory journey on February 25. He decided to run the remaining six or seven hundred miles in five days and reach the family Territory by February 30.

After stepping on Northern Land, Lorist only found out that Charade said that the Northern Land was soaring when the family Knight(s) meeting was making the northbound strategy. The situation was not a hearsay, but a fact that happened in front of us.

After only three Territorys, you have met five Territory wars. There are conflicts between the old Territory Aristocrat(s) and the new Aristocrat(s), some call the nearby Lord(s) to help themselves against the invasion of Territory, some help the friend Lord(s) to invade others Territory, some old Lord(s) because of old grudges and old Lord(s), and new Lord(s) and new Lord(s) because of the For a variety of reasons. In short, it was a piece of shouting and shouting everywhere.

Correct also benefited from Northern Land's vast population and sparse population. The wars between these Lord(s)s seemed to be village-level weapons in Lorist. Generally, Lord(s) brought two or three families Knight(s) and dozens of garrison soldiers, and then recruited one or two hundred peasant soldier(s) to call the army to launch a large-scale collective fight against the hostile Lord(s). The largest Lord(s) army that Lorist encountered was also four or five hundred people, all dressed in tattered peasant soldier(s).

It is ridiculous that the self-supporting and powerful Lord(s) Lord(s) also had the idea of ​​Lorist, a caravan, and asked Lorist to hand over half of the vehicles as road money to pass. This obvious road robbery behavior Lorist will not be left unattended. In order to sacred Aristocrat(s)'s free passage rights, Lorist let the Imperial Guard squad launch a shock and hit the opposite army with zero casualties. The arrogant Lord(s) knelt in front of Lorist with tears and a nose for self-redemption, and finally regained his freedom at the cost of fifty Northern Land horses and four carriage full of grain.

In order to avoid being beaten up by Lord(s), the caravan idea, the Lorist ordered the Imperial Guard team to perform a parade-style **** on armed forces. Sure enough, there were no flies harassed by this. Even on the fourth day, the two Lord(s) troops who were fighting hotly deliberately ceased their war to give way to let caravan pass first.

On the fifth day, endless virgin forests and endless mountains appeared in front of the caravan.

Shadekampf and Patt cheered: "Lord(s), our family Territory has arrived, that is the Black Forest, and the high mountains in the distance is Demonic Dragon Mountain Range. After the black forest, the undulating hills are the Morgen hills. Morgen Hills caravan will run to our family castle estate again in the day ... "

It took a long time for caravan to bypass the edge of the Black Forest. The Morgen hills are here ...

But Shadekampf and Patt are chopped up. I do n’t know when a rock-filled city wall appeared on the gap in the Morgen hills leading to the road ahead. Instead, three golden circles are drawn together ...
