Chapter 577

"30 silver coins per person! This is the standard price to Colin South Village!"

The goblin merchant, who was short and fat and wore a gorgeous robe, jumped his feet. The man in front of him had told him the price for nearly half an hour!

"1 gold per person, half in cash."

"No way! You're robbing!"

Not satisfied with his short stature, the goblin merchant roared:

"Up to 50 silver, no more!"

"80, don't worry, the money you spend must be worth it."

If it were not for the uneasiness of the monsters at the foot of the nearest mountain, and if it were not for the well-equipped adventurers, no goblin merchant would pay much more than the market price.

"But one of you is a halfling! He can only count as half!"

The goblin merchant pointed to the apple tea sitting on the carriage cutting wood, as if he had found a good excuse to bargain.

"But we also have a barbarian."

An Yi pointed and raised his chin. Man will conquer heaven. He leaned against the carriage like an iron tower:

"He can hold three."

"Er... This is..."

"So you'll pay three times the price?"

"Oh... No! Wait! You can't count that! Shit!"

Struggling, the goblin merchant raised his short, fat fingers:

"70, 40 in advance. This is my bottom line. I won't have another copper. Even if your team is excellent, I'd rather use this money to hire 8 adventurers."

"Well, well, it's up to you 70, but you have to take care of the meal."

The goblin merchant glared at the speech. The grandson can bargain too much.

"Clearly wearing a robe made of secret silver, I still care about this little money..."

Muttering, the goblin merchant found a pile of silver coins in the bag and gave it to an Yizhi.

It is said that businessmen go south and north to see a wide range of knowledge, which is true. When people look at Ann's robe, they will only think it is a beautiful silver gray robe, but he can recognize the secret silver inside at a glance.

What makes the goblin merchant collapse most is that the material of this robe can catch up with his wealth. He still cares about this silver coin. He is willing to pay twice the price of ordinary adventurers to hire several people, mainly because of the secret silver robe. Adventurers who can wear this equipment must be better than those cowhide kings who dare to pat their chest after buying a sword from the blacksmith shop to ensure that they can beat back even if the troll comes.

"Here you are. I've never seen such a greedy man as you."

"Otherwise, how do you think my secret silver robe came?"

“……”

In front of the goblin merchant, an pointed to untie the bags and count them one by one, as if he was afraid of missing one or two. The former was covered with black lines.

Confirm that the quantity is correct. An Yizhi returns to the carriage with a silver coin bag and gives it to the other four people.

"Me too?"

Fast took the silver coin bag and didn't expect ANN to give it to her.

"Of course, although this money is not comparable to your salary, it is at least pocket money. Take it to buy some cosmetics."

An Yi pointed out that the man was insatiable and scraped the ground three feet, but he did a good job. There would never be uneven distribution of booty, including NPC.

It's reasonable to say that an Yizhi has the activity funds given by the farfinch in his pocket. He doesn't care about this small money at all, and 70 silver coins can only buy some ordinary equipment, but no matter how small the mosquito is, he has to fight for it.

One silver coin for each person. After sharing, an pointed to Apple Tea:

"Why do you cut wood all day?"

The last time he saw apple tea, he also touched a wood and cut it with a dagger.

"Angie, you don't understand."

Apple tea proudly holds a rudimentary wood carving in his hand:

"Learn this little craft to make it easy to pick up girls and find girlfriends in the future. Many girls in my university like this kind of handmade wood carving."

An Yizhi nodded at the speech:

"Well, it's really good, but if it weren't for the legal age of marriage, I would be the father of the child now."

“……”

I'm not afraid of being educated, but I'm afraid of having a girlfriend, and someone else's girlfriend is especially good. It's unreasonable.

The sun dried apple tea is very sad

–‐‐——–‐‐——

An Yi pointed out that the caravan they followed was going to Colin South Village. It happened to be on the way. They pretended to be adventurers to take the escort task, so that they would not arouse the suspicion of imperial spies when they went out of the city.

But fast, as a princess escort, is also a celebrity, so she now sits in the driver's seat of the carriage with a mask covering the upper half of her face and a hood on her head dressed like an assassin.

There's no way. None of the three players know how to drive a carriage

After leaving the city, the caravan did not arouse anyone's doubt. After all, the number of caravans in and out every day is countless, even those between the Empire and the holy kingdom.

Although the two countries were at war, no one would have trouble with money, and the caravan trade never ended.

However, the war did have a great impact on the commercial exchanges between the two countries. The easiest way is the battlefield between the Empire and the holy kingdom. The army won't care whether you are a businessman or not when there is a real fight, so most businessmen take the north gate of the magic city, climb over the mountains, cross the foothills, and finally reach the imperial city on the other side of the mountain.

But this road is too narrow. The narrowest place can only accommodate two carriages in parallel. Moreover, the mountain road is rugged, and it is impossible to transport a large number of goods.

This is also the reason why the Empire did not choose to attack the magic city here. In this way, there is no way to transport supplies and soldiers. It is nonsense to launch a military array. It is easy to be made dumplings by the demon guide Crusaders who have been waiting for work at ease at the foot of the mountain.

The motorcade left the magic city from the north gate, crossed a green wheat field, then crossed a river seven or eight meters wide, and finally headed for the mountain road.

Strictly speaking, it has been the territory of the Empire since crossing the river, but the Empire has not sent any soldiers to manage it at all.

The reason is simple. There are many monsters living on the mountain.

There are many kinds and quantities of monsters. It's OK on the mountain road where people pass. Only monsters enter here by mistake from time to time, but the soldiers and financial resources needed to control the whole mountain range are astronomical. Moreover, there is really nothing worth occupying on this mountain. There are not only no minerals, but also not even strategic places. It is not easy to defend but difficult to attack, but there is no way to defend. There are forks and depressions everywhere.

No matter how rich the empire is, it will not spend money here, and so will the holy kingdom. Therefore, this has become a military buffer zone between the two countries. Businessmen use this to hire adventurers to protect themselves and continuously transport goods to the two countries through here.

There is only a small village named Colin Nan on the mountain, which can be regarded as the only foothold for businessmen. Goblin merchants deliver some necessities to Colin Nan, then fill it with Colin Nan's specialties, and go all the way north to the city on the other side of the Empire.

Speaking of this village, it originally belonged to the holy kingdom. Later, after the war between the two countries, the holy Kingdom refused to send troops to protect it, so Colin went directly to the imperial army to swear allegiance. For this reason, they were not friendly to the people of the holy kingdom. An Yizhi and others, especially fast, must not reveal their identity, otherwise they will be chased and beaten by others.

Sitting in the carriage, fast is responsible for driving. Man is sure to win the sky. While enjoying the scenery along the way, he drinks wheat wine without a mouthful. Apple Tea runs ahead with other adventurer scouts to explore the way. Therefore, they are the most tired scouts.

An Yizhi opened the information bought from five gold coins of Apple camellia. Of course, the money was included in the activity funds.

A total of 2381 Imperial troops were stationed at the target area of the mission, including a light infantry battalion, two air bow and crossbow battalions and a cavalry reconnaissance battalion.

So far, there's nothing strange, but the next intelligence is a little interesting.

It also says that they have a magic guide technician maintenance squadron of about 100 people and a camouflage squadron of the same number.

The so-called magic guide Technician Maintenance Squadron is actually a group of guys who know how to control magic machinery. For example, an Yizhi used to sit on an airship before, which needs magic guide technicians to maintain it.

In addition, the team specially responsible for camouflage may be, as the holy devil guide said, what new weapons have been developed by the Empire and intend to test it with the magic city as the target.

Obviously, this kind of thing has not happened once or twice. I heard fast say that the Empire once made a gliding bomb and dropped it in the direction of the magic city from the mountain, but it failed to break through the active defense system over the magic city. At best, it just let the residents see a fireworks.

This time, the holy devil guide said there was a little threat. It can be seen that it is by no means comparable to the level of gliding bomb.

Most importantly, the white hand association can do nothing about what the Imperial Army transported to the mountain. After all, it is a country's military secret, which is not so easy to obtain. Moreover, the price of five gold coins is far from enough.

Please say in the newspaper that the imperialists transported different shapes of parts from seven cities, and then combined with the fact that they built a temporary shed more than 20 meters high with heavy canvas as soon as they arrived, it can be seen that they wanted to assemble something.

The white hand Association speculated that the magic machinery they assembled needed a lot of magic as energy, which could be confirmed after they transported a large number of magic crystals.

But it's not clear what it is.

However, this is the reason why an Yi pointed out that they had to go.

I've heard about the white hand Association for a long time. I didn't expect it to be so detailed. This scroll is filled with small letters. In addition to the above information, it also details how many materials they need to consume every day. From this aspect, various expectations of what they are doing are kindly written out, including terrain and other elements. It is simply detailed information that can't be more detailed.

However, an Yizhi was still a little dissatisfied. In addition to not knowing what they were assembling, the intelligence of the leading general was "unknown".

Although this degree of confidentiality is certain, what they are most worried about is that there is a big man of more than level 50 in the Imperial Army, which will seriously frustrate an Yizhi's plan to annihilate the imperial army.

His fingers unconsciously knocked on the board, and an pointed to calculate whether he could win with strategy, not with the book of the dead.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and an pointed too head. I saw Apple Tea running back from the front with several NPC scouts, shouting:

"There's an enemy ahead! It's an eagle Banshee!"
