Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

Chapter 59: Demonic Troubles



Two days later, after completing the deal with the Gresley Chamber of Commerce, Verin couldn't wait to lead the Chamber of Commerce on his way back.

In order to avoid unexpected situations, Verin deliberately avoided the Kent Territory.

Although this move will increase the time cost, it is better than safety.

Sitting in the carriage, Verin carefully looked at the simple transaction form made by Raimondo and fell into deep thought.

This transaction, excluding the cost of purchasing slaves, was a complete loss according to the data of normal trading of goods.

"There are too few items that can be traded in the Lake of Praying Stars."

After hearing this, Raimundo on the horse nodded and said: "My lord, foldable chairs like those will be copied by them soon, and they will not be able to trade goods next time. As for Jicama, It is cheap and cannot be traded as a commodity.”

"You're right." Weilin put down the simple transaction form in his hand, was silent for a while, and then said, "Relying on mineral salt alone, even if you make flowers, cannot support subsequent development. Let's think about how to solve it when we get back. ."

At this stage, the only commodities that can be traded in Lake of Stars are mineral salts. If you want to continue to expand the types of commodities, in addition to exploring deeper into the Gray Mango Wasteland, you can only start with processing technology.

Weilin stroked the somewhat rough ceramics and decided to try this first to see if he could make exquisite pottery.

"This is just one direction, and other possible development avenues must be considered."

While Weilin was deep in thought, a caravan guard who was scouting ahead returned to the caravan and reported quickly: "My lord, sir, the front is blocked by the army and is temporarily impassable."

"Which army is it from?" After hearing this, Weilin raised his head to look at the caravan guard and asked him.

"My lord, the enemy's military flags include the royal flag and the noble flag. Specifically, which army they belong to, my subordinates have little knowledge and have no way of knowing." The caravan guard reported truthfully.

Raimundo saw this and said: "My lord, the one who raised the royal flag should be the army directly under the Cardero Province, or the Silver Knights transferred from the kingdom. As for the noble flag, it should be temporarily recruited from the surrounding area. A noble army.”

After hearing this, Weilin nodded.

According to his guess, there should be something unexpected happened in Kent Territory, which caused the army to conduct a blockade and investigation here.

However, due to the lack of information at this stage, he is not easy to make rash decisions and can only take one step at a time.

Subsequently, Raimundo, under Verin's instructions, led the caravan slowly towards the blockade.

……

Falling Rock Hills, as the outermost node of the blockade, is stationed here by a coalition of knights and hundreds of local nobles.

"Captain, another caravan is coming ahead, is it..." A knight opened the curtain and lowered his head to report to a young female knight with short black hair.

"Didn't I say that? No matter what it is, even if it is a dog, I must give it a good check." Flora Akers wiped her weapon and said impatiently.

As a high-level silver knight, she could have wiped out those damn devil remnants in Kent, but she didn't expect to be thrown into this hellish place.

"Team...Captain, that caravan carries the flag of your family, do you need to inspect it too?" The knight glanced at his captain, and bravely continued to report.

"It's not you..." Flora heard that it was related to her family and stopped mid-sentence. Then she stood up, put the sword back into the scabbard, and ordered to her subordinates: "Lead the way, I will personally lead the way. Go check it out.”

"Yes." The knight replied, then turned around and led the way.

Flora straightened her short hair, put on her black helmet, pulled down her visor, and followed her subordinates out of the tent.

Outside the checkpoint, the guard standing guard looked at the "civilian" in linen clothes in front of him as he looked at the camp unscrupulously. Thinking of the busy appearance of the knight just now, he shut his mouth very conscientiously and did not dare to scold him like before.

Verin looked at the temporary camp in front of him. The noble army and the kingdom's army were clearly visible.

The camps near the left area are neatly laid out. Except for the patrolling personnel, the rest are undergoing necessary training. They are obviously the kingdom's troops.

In contrast, the right side was much more chaotic, but there was no drinking or gambling. Every soldier wore leather armor and had sophisticated weapons. According to his perception, at least two-thirds of the soldiers stepped in. Entered the professional stage.

Although most of them were warrior apprentices or knight attendants, it also proved that these nobles used their own wealth and did not use serfs to make up for it.

"Lord, here we come."

Weilin heard Raimundo's voice and turned to look at Flora walking towards him.

Flora glanced at Verin, said nothing, and just asked her men to start checking the caravan.

Regarding the army's inspection, the caravan guards retreated to the roadside in cooperation with Raimundo's order.

"Captain, everything is normal." A few minutes later, after confirming that there was no demon or its minions, the knight quickly came to Flora, reported to her, and then retreated behind her.

Upon hearing this, Flora turned her head slightly and stared at Verin: "Are you from the Akers family?"

Facing the inquiry from the knight wearing the visor, Verin was a little confused, but he still answered truthfully: "I am Verin Akers, the sixth-generation patriarch of the Akers family and the fifth son of Angus, Earl of Eagle."

"My name is Flora Akers. I'm glad to meet you, my tribe." Flora took off her visor and said in a gentle tone, "I belong to the lineage of Count Andersi, and I belong to the sixth generation according to my generation. If you mind, you can call me aunt."

Several knights on the side were stunned to see their captain showing his ladylike side, almost blinding themselves.

"This……"

"Those bastards don't train seriously and are lazy again. Captain, let me go over and take a look."

"Vice Captain, I'll go with you. We have to fix these bastards today."

"There seems to be something going on over there, captain, I'll take someone to take a look."

In less than a minute, all the knights standing next to Flora left. Apart from the guards standing guard, only Verin and the caravan members were left.

Looking at Flora, who was only a few years older than him, Weilin made a decision in his heart and whispered, "Auntie."

"So nice."

After satisfying her desire to be an elder, Flora was in a good mood and immediately took Weilin's hand and walked towards her tent.

Raimondo watched his master leave and could only wait where he was.

Along the way, many knights looked at the captain leading a young man dressed as a civilian towards his tent with excitement on his face, and they all lowered their heads, wondering what they were thinking.
