The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 262: Moving forward

Unlike the North, which is still covered with ice and snow, the spring in the Middle Plains region of the South arrives particularly early. Within two weeks of the first spring rain falling, temperatures rose sharply, and even the spring rain was a symbol of the new year.

In the words commonly used by the Church, Tonia, the goddess of winter, simply gave authority to Irojer, the Spring Goddess. During the warm flowering season of spring, plants hibernating for one winter began to bud, hungry animals also began to feed, a new round of the year began again, everything began to resurrect, and new life was born during this golden time.

Well, the arts are all over the place, to be honest, um, let's start with the money, and now that spring is here, so is the opportunity.

In this era of cold weapons, the movement still depends on horses and carriages, the winter roads are ice-covered, inconvenient, the shipment of goods and daily necessities is slow, the winter has passed and households are consumed with all kinds of supplies.

As a result, every spring is a golden time period for the merchants to make money, and a slight increase in the price is acceptable, together with that huge amount of demand, for the merchants who specialize in this industry, the first shipment can make an amazing profit, or even 30% of the year's profits.

The Kingdom of Lagus is rich in silk, luminous crystal ore, red wooden wand, three-leaf rosemary, of which green luminous crystal and three-leaf rosemary are practicing materials between the practitioners, red wooden wand is a very good scepter embryo, for both the Mage's country and the Bayer Empire are imported in large quantities.

When there is market demand, there are sellers. At the beginning of each year, the merchants leave on time at the last snow, go to another foreign country to exchange specialty goods for gold coins. By the time of the return, the gold coins are exchanged for all kinds of specialties produced by the Bayer Empire, and the recovery is huge.

But, like a different world, the profits from border trade are surprising, but also risky. If you encounter bandits and illegal officials, you can leave half of the merchandise behind. If you are too unlucky, even military coups, wars and other unpredictable factors can hit you, it is blood without return.

But in this day and age, the most dangerous, is still perceived by some “lord”. After all, a businessman's nexus can very well touch the neighboring countries, so long as there is a reason to say about the past, and eat the wealth of foreign businessmen, for some great nobles, it is simply a free breakfast.

Normal people who dare not do business will not be ordinary people, and those who dare to engage in border trade are often not easy to provoke. Either they have a very hard background, or they are even associated with the royal family, and they are not afraid of blackmail by ordinary lords at all, or they themselves have the power to protect themselves, to keep a mercenary corps or something. After all, they can protect themselves by going out and about, presumably, only the trustworthy forces in their hands.

The Vicky Chamber of Commerce is not a successor to nobility, obviously the latter. Although their Chamber of Commerce has just emerged as a new chamber of commerce for no more than two decades, this year the situation has been somewhat different, thanks to the painstaking efforts of past heads of households, who have basically singled out the route of the Chamber of Commerce from Anliso City, the Bayer Empire, to the settlement city of the Kingdom of Lagos.

“... it seems that we can only hope not to lose money this time. ”

Cindy Vicky, one of the top members of the Chamber of Commerce, has been on this route for almost three decades today, but unlike in the past, the situation in the Bayer Empire has recently been turbulent and rumours have continued.

Businessmen are naturally sensitive to crises at a time when, in their view, there is a major upheaval within a country. Problems will naturally arise in the economy as well, and lately there have been many strange monsters and ghost trails within the Bayer Empire, which have led to a sharp decline in the number of merchants travelling between the two countries.

The stormy tension he saw in his eyes, he was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. Many orders had been placed last year. Some decades-old customers could not be offended at all, and the merchant had to leave without leaving.

In an extraordinary period, the president of the Vicky Chamber of Commerce, instead of paying directly for two of the top ten mercenaries in the Kingdom of Lagos, demanded that they send a senior elite force at the head of the regiment.

As a result, the strong hand arrived. Jost, the Star Sword of the Soro Eagle Mercenary Corps, and Carogel, the White Dragon of the Horn of the North Mercenary Corps, were all very famous strong men. They also brought their elite subordinates with them, but I'm afraid the proceeds were not enough to pay the commission.

“Don't get in any real trouble, especially those who don't want to die...”

If mercenaries do not fight, the customary commission will pay just enough for 89 achievements and will not pay a high level of compensation for the loss, so that a little bit of cost can be saved.

“Lord Cindy, why do you always look so sad? It's a beautiful day to walk a little more, at least have some fun. ”

In Cindy's eyes, the smiling blonde was only fifteen or six years old, but after a slightly deeper conversation, Cindy found herself still unable to see through this young man named Lauro.

He seemed childish, but he was actually particularly talented in commerce. Sometimes he said something random, he had to think for the first half of the day, and finally he felt very reasonable.

These are strange members of the silver mercenary corps who came to the door voluntarily to offer ultra-low price hire money, they were surprised, they thought there was some conspiracy, but seeing the shipment they were towing, they understood, they were thinking too much, they were just going to take a ride, the so-called door-to-door service was just a cover, but the real purpose was to use their huge fleet of cars to make small fortunes.

This kind of intermediate hitchhiking was somewhat offensive and generally unacceptable, but when the other party revealed the sincerity of “hitchhiking", it admitted quite frankly that it was not, and offered to pay the Chamber of Commerce a considerable “toll”.

“... this vinyl must be delivered, and now the world is not peaceful, and we dare to go on our way alone. We'll pay for it, and if there's trouble, there's more people out there. ”

Of course, at the end of the day, I really don't know if that private thank you to Cindy Kim worked or not.

“By the way, Captain Lorro, can you tell me again about your relationship yesterday with bank loans and market prices? I still don't understand anything yesterday. For example, if I could talk to the bank..."

For Cindy, who has been in business for half his life, the harvest of these days has been extraordinary. In front of him, though young, he is well known as a wizard of wisdom, and he should be collectively referred to as the lending industry, the banking industry..... Well, according to him, it should all be called finance. His personal opinion is completely different from that of the world. Though he is disobedient, he is careful to go, but don't be surprised, he has some reason.

In other words, at this point in time, I saw Cindy talking so much about business, and I regretted some of the messy financial motto that I had spoken before.

“Originally to pretend that the businessman joined the group, casually said a few economic theories of previous life, who knew not to say it seriously, but also very interested in pursuing it. In the end, one of my legal professions was not interested in the economy. The principle is so clear that, being pursued, it can only be bullshit. ”

How to make a lie as true as it is, simply put one lie in another easily visible lie and let the “smart man" uncover the “falsehood” himself and find out what “truth” they want.

It's a pleasure to meet Cindy's merchants, but it's not easy for them to mix in on guard. If we go out and recommend ourselves, most of them will be rejected. If we show our strength, it will make the other party wonder if there will be any conspiracy, so simply buy a batch of wine, place a fake order, and pretend to save money as a mercenary.

As a result, the headache is now disguised as a little too successful. A few random words were spoken and heard, but the merchant in front of him acted as a treasure. If you continue to ask, it will really be revealed.

“Shh, that's forbidden. ”

Well, since you don't know how to answer it, consider it a secret you don't want to tell. Although I don't adore the answer and the lines, the result is that the other party pays more attention to me, turning from a positive attack to a sideways detour, calling me every day to try to pull out a little bit.

And today was the third day of departure, and this guy actually met and started asking all morning, and as I was going to continue to ignore it, suddenly, the noise behind the team and the sound of the blade shooting caught our attention.

“Again? ”

We are somewhat helpless, we have no first and no second, our colleagues are the wrongdoers, and another side effect of our joining the merchants in the name of the Adventure Corps is the hostility and discomfort of the other two mercenaries in the merchants corps against us.

“We've taken the escort assignment, and the two big mercenary regiments were upset about the pay for splitting the assignment equally. What do you guys mean by jumping out? ”

Even if I have already said that I will not rob commissions with them, but sometimes doing this is arguing, several mercenary groups provoke a lot of times in these two days. In accordance with the usual practice, if we lose money once, we will be done, but even if I have asked them to play defensively, none of them are fuel saving lights. I promised to do it in person, and the last time I tormented those mercenaries enough, the result is that the two major mercenary groups who have suffered losses constantly expect to find their faces back, but the result is more and more losses every time.

At the moment, it is undoubtedly another “unexpected” dispute.

Suddenly, a purple starry shadow appeared over the camp, and the source of the traction was the boiling place of the man.

“... that should be Captain Jost's famous Epic Divine Star Meteor Sword, a gold-class weapons master, such a terrible threat. Looks like the master is serious, huh? At this point, Captain Lauro doesn't seem to be worried about his own people getting hurt? ”

And I shook my head with a smile.

“Worried, of course, I was just worried about the meteorite sword. Come on, go check it out, hope nothing happens... damn it, that fool actually challenged Red! Cindy, do you have a coffin for your cargo? I'll buy a pair. Oh, no, I don't think so. Do you have a headstone? ”

--------

And while Roland was still on the road, the Bayer Empire's surprise plot ran into unexpected little trouble.

With the full power of many obsidian ghost towers, the man-made death scene has indeed succeeded, and a large number of low-order spirits have been manufactured, but in a world full of negative energy, even the horizon has turned gray and white, and in this monotonous world, there is a green anomaly.

“Haven't you figured out what it is yet? Damn, there's no forest there. There are also proactive attacks on the dead forest. ”

The demon Aru thought it was a simple task to control the massacre of low-level spirits without any protection, but the sudden appearance of strange forests kept him far behind expectations, recalling how the spiritual emperors had treated the losers so cruelly that he still felt cold, even without consciousness.

“My lord, there are more and more strange plants in that forest, and the forest is spreading, and the most incredible...”

The black robe's blood card speaks less and less, seemingly speculative, but somewhat uncertain.

“What is it? Let's get this straight!”

“It feels like the latest bestselling chess game Zombie Wars plants, the variety of plants you can see in the chess pieces! I'm a senior player, I can tell at a glance. ”

“And those plants are special editions of Dead Spirit, and the pea shooters can still fire holy light bombs, and the vines can still extract the power of death, and the plant bombs have holy water in them, and they feel that this forest is a natural enemy of Dead Spirit. ”

Aru was stunned, then furious, and the magical ice maker grabbed the wretched bloodline.

“What, our army of the dead has become someone else's game? We're playing monkey in people's eyes now? ”

The angry witch remembered the results of the unfinished task, and the magic spilled wildly to allow the surrounding high-ranking dead spirit to hastily retreat. Only the frozen, pale, unlucky bastard desperately tried to save himself.

“My lord, since each other's ranks are common in games, we can also think of ways to deal with each other from games. ”

He touched the chin with only bones left, and Aru the Witch nodded his head.

“Like what? ”

The unfortunate bloodline worked so hard to get its brains started, it found several ways.

“For example, earth-boring zombies, flying zombies, iron barrel zombies, plants can only defend one side, we can get the air force on board, we can go around the back, there are many ways. ”

“Well, well, well! You take the team. ”

Well, even if you die in battle, it's better than being executed by your superiors.

But the result is the same as always.

The flying dandelion bomb awaits you. ”

The roots of the vines and demonized plants have long created a deadly network of souls.

Put a shield on the dead spirit? A giant cannibal flower that suddenly protrudes from the ground devours everything.

Around the back? This reality is not a game. The mountains are full of forests, where you can find a way back.

And the lucky (unfortunate) Kaka survived miraculously, wrecked, he probably only had half a breath left, but when he looked at the flame of the green soul burning in Iru's eyes, he suddenly felt it was better not to come back.

“Oh, what else are you going to say? ”

“My lord, you can't blame us for our incompetence. That guy cheated. Those kinds of soldiers are rare. If you want to draw tens of thousands of gold coins over and over again, you don't have to smoke one. He actually has them all. It's like gold coin players bullying us civilian players. It's too much! ”

“Knock! ”

With a crisp sound, the senior gaming fanatic was frozen into the ice, and Iru, angry enough to sweep his men, saw only a dodgy look, and eventually, he could only give the order.

“The whole army attacked and let the ghost tower continue to evoke the newborn spirit. Let's fight him and see who can afford it. The will of the great emperors must be fulfilled, otherwise... you all know that. ”
