The Devil’s Cage Chapter 33: Cost
The convoy is driving slowly.
The night outside Syka Domain is very dangerous.
Not only do they have all kinds of fierce wild beasts, but they are also the favorite time for robbers. Even if the Viscount that person constantly sends patrols to clean up, it only maintains the safety of several main roads.
And after ‘Black Disaster’ happened, this situation got worse.
Except that the main road connecting Atandin Castle is responsible for the royal patrol team, and can also ensure a certain degree of safety, the main roads of the remaining towns of Syka Domain have become extremely dangerous at night.
Most people choose to hurry up during the day and stay in the town at night, relying on more people to resist the danger.
If you can, Syka City connects to the main road of Atandin Castle, and few people will choose to travel at night.
Because, here is not 100% safe.
If it weren't for a considerable number of people this time, no one would risk taking the road.
However, even then, a team of guards from the big caravan patrol back and forth.
Through the window, Bohr looked at the guards passing by, and there was no wave in his heart.
Dangerous?
Bohr is not worried at all.
Looking at the Kieran sitting opposite, Bohr is very at ease.
Maybe the road at night is dangerous, but as long as you follow ‘Devil Flame’, what are the so-called dangers?
Not worth mentioning at all.
Therefore, at this time, Bohr has the leisure to add charcoal to the mud stove.
The charcoal was just filled into the mud stove, and a piece of sparks was immediately swayed. When sparks was about to float in the car, the teapot filled with water was placed on the mud stove.
Bohr took the silver qualitative tea knife placed on the scarf from the tray on the side, carefully cut a small tea brick from a large piece of tea cake next to it, and heated it in the water, about to boil At that time, Bohr put the small tea brick into it.
After the water rolls twice, the small tea bricks will turn into pieces of tea leaves. After a dozen breaths, when the water in the pot boils, the tea leaves will roll directly with the water.
The fragrance of tea is strong.
Bohr picked up the teapot.
"Atandin Castle has a dedicated tea maker."
"I just don’t know how it tastes."
"I heard several businessmen from the border say that the tea cooks there like to put mustard in the tea. According to the other party, they seem to be spicy to set off the fragrance of the tea."
"There are also a lot of fish foods in Atandin Castle, the most famous is the fish in the potato cake, and the fish must be upright. both eyes is best to look at the sky. The more upright, the bigger the both eyes is, the more this dish proves. success."
Bohr is pouring tea for Kieran while talking about interesting things about Atandin Castle.
Of course, Bohr has not forgotten to introduce the current business.
"It takes about two days and one night to travel from Syka City to Atandin Castle. We set off at night. It takes two nights and one day. However, the road is difficult at night and we may need to spend a little more time."
"Different from the border Morsa to Syka City are all plains, from Syka City to Atandin Castle, most of them are mountains, and only outpost of Syka Domain and border outpost of Atandin Castle can provide us with real rest."
"Among them, there is also a military camp in the border outpost of Atandin Castle, which is also an important guarantee to ensure that we can advance on this main road at night."
Kieran is holding a tea cup and listening to Bohr.
His both eyes looked out of the dark window.
For Atandin Castle, Kieran has known in these two days.
Atandin Castle, the capital of the Atandin kingdom, with a population of more than one million, Atandin Castle, is not only the economic, political, and cultural center of North Continent, but also the largest city in the entire North Continent. Even the southern Cheka Bay, which dominates the Gulf, is still inferior Atandin Castle.
However, compared to this city respected by native, Kieran is more concerned about Atandin VI.
This monarch under the attack of ‘Black Disaster’ has a powerful face.
When ‘Black Disaster’ happened, the magnificent Atandin V was celebrating his merits. He didn’t realize at all what kind of disaster this expedition would bring to his kingdom.
And when the monarch returned to God, the situation was inevitable.
Even the monarch himself was knocked down by the disease.
More importantly, the descendant of the monarch Unique/only is only seven years old, and some people in the royal family have begun to stare.
Everyone can meet, and with a little carelessness, the entire Atandin kingdom will fall into a civil war, and even collapse.
And at this time, the teacher of the descendants of the monarch Unique/only stood up.
This Court Teacher, known for his knowledge, hosted a banquet for all qualified people in the royal family, in the name of "inheriting the kingdom", and then... none of the people who came this time went out alive, including those people. The personal guards died in the banquet hall, and then the other party controlled the royal guard with a thunderous surprise, and began to clean the royal family in the name of "finding the root of Black Disaster". For a whole week, there were more than 1,500 People were killed.
Blood stained the palace of Atandin Castle in red.
'Scarlet Week'!
This is the memory of Atandin Castle people.
When the killing stopped, the seven-year-old descendant became the new monarch.
With the help of that person Court Teacher, the seven-year-old opponent quickly stabilized the situation in the entire kingdom and began to clean up the roots of cholera left in the south.
Discuss with War God Temple and send a team of temple knights to assist the army of the kingdom.
Agreeed with ‘Lady of Calamity’ and established the first in Atandin Castle, which is also a temple in Unique/only.
No one thinks this can be done by a child.
Everyone thinks it's that person Court Teacher's credit.
Then...
When the monarch was sixteen, that person Court Teacher died.
Some people said it was sick.
Someone said that he died of illness.
No matter how they died, the majesty of that person Court Teacher was replaced by the young monarch.
People also started calling each other Atandin VI.
Thirty years have passed, and the other party is even more dignified.
The Atandin kingdom is more unified between the north and the south. Only the remote islands have not been enveloped by the glory of the kingdom, but this has not affected the glory of this monarch.
People even tied it with Atandin I.
Because, the other party has done Atandin I, and even the things the last four monarchs wanted to do but failed to do: unify the South.
Of course, such a legendary monarch will naturally have a lot of Legend.
Many of them simply said that the other party was a "son of God"!
As for this god?
No one can make it clear.
For this, Kieran is noncommittal.
He is more concerned about that person Court Teacher.
Because of the appearance, magic, and disappearance of the other party, he has a strange sense of familiarity: Player!
Of course, Kieran cannot be 100% certain.
But I am more than 50% sure that the other party has a problem!
Maybe...
Is that ‘Broker’?
Kieran pondered, looking slightly in front of it, looking towards the front of the team.
I don't know when, the whole team stopped.
Several youngsters carrying torches are running backwards quickly, stopping every few steps, shouting to the team around them: "Lead, go ahead! Have a meeting!"
Soon, these people ran to the carriage where Kieran was riding.
Looking at Bohr, which is not a low-end wagon in Atandin Castle, these are holding torches. It is not that the ignorant youngster did not shout rudely as before, but knocked on the door.
Boom, boom.
"Your Excellency, hello."
"Our caravan captain invited Your Excellency to a meeting."
With the knock on the door, such words sounded.
"Okay, I know."
Bohr glanced at Kieran. After Kieran did not express any objection, he said immediately.
Several people who got an affirmative answer back again, and the shout rang again.
Listening to the shout again, Bohr shook his head helplessly.
"Someone wants to make up for the loss again."
Bohr said this.
Then, without waiting for the Kieran to inquire, I took the initiative to speak.
"In the days of Syka City delay, every caravan will have more or less losses."
"Some guys are very unwilling to suffer such a loss."
"So, they want to'pass on' such losses."
""Transfer"?"
Kieran has attracted interest.
"Uh."
"Large caravans charge a small amount of "protection fee" for small caravans, some temporary caravans often do this, especially the guys from the border Morsa, they even regard this as a "rule" And because of this, some **** guys changed their main business, thinking that full payment of the "protection fee" is a more promising profession."
"And I have dealt with them before and it turned out to be unpleasant."
"They used my goods as protection costs."
"I used their heads as compensation."
Bohr nodded and explained, then, Bohr smiled and pointed behind him, in front of the team.
"However, this time is different."
"This way of calling people is too rough, it should be a temporary intention of the caravan from Atandin Castle."
"Otherwise, the guards of these big caravans should surround the entire convoy and notify them."
Bohr's words fell, and Kieran saw that someone in the team had suddenly left the team.
These people who leave the team are fast and organized.
Almost instantly, the horses pulling the cart rushed into the forest next to the main road with people.
"These guys should be from the border Morsa."
Bohr said with certainty.
After talking, Bohr looked at Kieran.
"Colin Your Excellency, what are we going to do?"
Bohr asked.
"Go and see."
Kieran pointed to the front of the team.
Bohr was taken aback.
According to Bohr's knowledge of Kieran, Kieran cannot be interested in such things.
Unless...
Suddenly, Bohr thought of something.
But before waiting for Bohr to ask, Kieran has pushed the door and walked off the carriage.
"watch closely car."
Bohr said to Ashkano and quickly ran after it.
At this time, in the front of the convoy, a tent that was temporarily gathered in a carriage, a bonfire had risen, and a young man accompanying him was adding firewood.
A dozen early arrivals stood on one side, frowning at the three people across the bonfire, their eyes full of unkindness, and the opposite three smiling.
"Are you going to take advantage of the fire?"
One of the dozen people who wore a cloth hat and a cotton coat shouted loudly.
The other party's emotions were very excited, and his cheeks turned red with the roar.
The dozen caravans standing behind each other stared at the same enemy.
If the eyes can kill, the three people opposite have already died countless times.
However, the three people who have been smiling all the time did not care.
They glanced at each other first, and then one of the slightly older men came out.
The gray rabbit skin hat and the same leather qualitative coat provide this man with a considerable ability to keep warm, so that when the other person comes out, he does not need 佝偻's body in exchange for warmth.
The other party’s face was also very clean, and there was no wind and frost. The beard on the chin was evenly combed. simultaneously. After the gentleman’s cane in his hand lightly touched the ground, the other party spoke.
"Everyone."
"We are all businessmen, and businessmen are pursuing profits. This is instinct and is our job, but we also want fairness from heart."
"So, I don't mean to force everyone."
"Someone just left the team, have we blocked it?"
"No."
"I will not stop everyone from leaving. Of course, everyone is welcome to join us. The price of 20Gold Puton is not an unaffordable amount for everyone."
The other party spoke clearly.
After the other party’s voice fell, the representative of the other party in the seat spoke very simply.
"Who knows if you are not ready?"
"Or is there no experience?"
The other party’s doubts were supported by the businessmen behind him.
"Stop joking."
"As a representative of the caravans of Kate Company, I have been running on the road from Atandin Castle to the border Morsa for 10 years, and I know exactly what happened here."
"For example..."
"Have you ever charged some poor guys a similar fee?"
The middle-aged man said that the gentleman's cane in his hand pointed at the other party.
The other person pointed at his nose shrank his neck subconsciously.
Except for instinct, the other party was completely taken aback by the identity of the other party.
Kate Company, Atandin has a number of businesses.
The headquarters is in Atandin Castle, the main business scope is minerals, and the side business includes but not limited to newspapers, car dealers, etc.
For these businessmen, it is not an exaggeration to say that Kate Company is a behemoth.
However, what really surprised the businessman representative was how the other party knew he had done such a thing.
Looking at the seemingly non-smiling counterpart, feeling the mistrust of the same Faction partner behind him, the businessman representative immediately said: "The price of 20Gold Puton is not much for Kate Company, but for our kind of businessman Not a small number!"
"Yes, 20Gold Puton, too expensive."
"My income this time is only 30Gold Puton."
......
After hearing the shouts of the businessmen behind him, the businessman representative was slightly relieved.
He knew that his sensitivity to numbers and interests allowed these people to temporarily support him.
Even if heart has a different idea, it will not be proposed at this time.
And this is enough!
Enough to be his capital for negotiation!
Thinking of this, the merchant representative wanted to speak.
However, the that person of Kate Company represents a faster opening.
"So, for everyone I consider, I provide a backup plan--"
"The first person who is willing to pay me a fee, I only charge half, which is 10Gold Puton, and the second one I charge 11, until 20Gold Puton."
"What do you think?"
"Our proposal is not excessive."
The representative of Kate Company spread his hands and both eyes swept the person in front of him.
When I saw these people looking at each other~IndoMTL.com~, there was a lot of precautions in my eyes, heart couldn't help laughing.
Especially the guy who represents other people, looking at the other person's dull look, he is really afraid to laugh out loud.
Want to rely on a group of Ugly people to negotiate prices with him?
He just let this crowd of people gather in the nest.
However, the representative of the disadvantaged side responded extremely quickly.
"My first!"
Because standing in front of the merchants, relying on the advantage of distance, the other party rushed to the front of the representative of Kate Company in one step.
10 Gold Puton were handed out like this.
The crowd behind the other person was taken aback.
Followed by.
Soon, there will be no more available quotas.
Some of the remaining guys running slowly, very regretful, had to take out 20 Gold Puton.
At this time, no one objected to this price.
Instead, he looked at the slow-reacting person with gloating smiles on his face.
When Kieran and Bohr came, they immediately faced such a mocking evil intent gaze.
"No discount, you need to pay 20Gold Puton!"
As a representative of the disadvantaged party, this time standing next to the representative of Kate Company said directly.
Kieran glanced at each other, and then fell on the representative of Kate Company.
"You asked me to pay 20Gold Puton?"
Kieran asked.
"Everyone has handed in."
"It's your turn."
The other party said politely.
Kieran nodded, the other party smiled and extended his hand, ready to charge, and then, Kieran raised his foot and kicked on the other party’s face—
Boom!
