“What caravan are you from?”

Led by his deputy, Rhodes met the leader of the caravan and asked

“Hello, sir. We are from the Heim caravan, and I am Paul Martins, the leader of the caravan!”Martins said respectfully,”Excuse me, sir, what is your name?”

“I am Karl Rhodes, the clerk here.” Rhodes smiled slightly,”Mr. Martins, please follow me! The lord allows you to see him!”

Martins immediately showed a happy expression:

“Thank you, Lord. Please lead the way, Lord Rhodes!”

Then, under the leadership of Rhodes, the group headed towards Changying.

As they walked, Martins’ expression became serious.

When the deputy saw this, he asked in confusion:

“What’s the matter, Mr. Martins?”

Martins said:

“Look at these fields, they are so large, all connected together, and they grow the same crops. Have you seen this anywhere else?”

The deputy was also shocked before, but when he heard Martins’ words, he nodded immediately:

“It is indeed surprising and incredible! But I still can’t figure out why you frown.”

Martins said:

“You, you must learn to see the essence behind things, otherwise you will suffer in business!

Think about it, such a large piece of connected fields is rare even in the earldom and dukedom, not to mention that this is just a viscountdom, and it is such a remote viscountdom.

Situations that violate normal phenomena often reveal huge information behind them! Can you figure it out now?”

The deputy pondered for a while, and immediately frowned and said:

“The people in remote areas are often more stupid and lazy. For a small territory to have so much land and to cultivate the crops uniformly should not be a spontaneous act of the people. It seems that this lord is very unusual!”

“Not bad! You finally got it!”

Martins had just finished speaking when he saw a citizen passing by carrying a hoe, and was stunned again:

“How come the people working in these fields are different from the people in other territories?”

The deputy was also somewhat speechless:

“Not only are they not pale and thin, but they do not have a foul odor, and their clothes are clean, with only dirt on them!……”

At this moment, they suddenly looked down at the ground. It turned out that they had been shocked by the surrounding scene just now, but they did not notice when the convoy had stepped onto the stone road that Changying Territory had just repaired.

“”So long! So neat! Such a big stone! Where did they find it?”

The whole team was shocked.

The wandering knights in the team had been wandering around for a long time and had never seen such a scene. They knocked the ground with the scabbards in their hands, making a dull ding-ding sound.

Others also felt the ground under their feet and felt it was a little unreal.

Martins even got off the carriage and lay on the ground himself.

He knocked with his hands, but there was only the dull sound of his bones through the flesh, and the stone did not make any sound feedback.

Martins didn’t believe it, so he simply stretched out his tongue and licked the stone, and then he was stunned.

“Mr. Martins, what did you find? Are these really rocks?”The deputy squatted aside and asked curiously.

Martins was silent for a while, and nodded with a bitter face:

“Yes! It’s real rock! And it’s a kind of high-strength rock that I have never seen before!”

He grabbed his deputy’s collar, his eyes red:

“Do you know? If this kind of rock is made into two-finger-thick slabs, it can be sold to the capital and be qualified as food for the King’s Square! And it’s just a slab!”

He stared blankly at the road in front of him, and then heard the sound of the wandering knight’s scabbard hitting the ground, and muttered:

“But there are not only so many here, but they are not slabs, but stones! It must be very thick underneath, as if it grew here naturally!

I can’t figure out who has the strength to move such a big stone to pave the road!

This is a miracle! It must be a miracle!

Oh my God, what on earth is this place!”

Martins felt like he was going crazy

“Is this stone of such good quality?”The deputy swallowed his saliva, feeling incredible.

Martins heard this and suddenly seemed to be stressed and said loudly:

“Good? More than good! When I licked it with my tongue just now, I found that the stone was a little sticky to my tongue, and the watermarks disappeared quickly, which means that the particles are very fine! The quality is very good!”

After thinking for a while, he added:

“Better than granite!”

When the deputy heard this, he immediately found a comparison and murmured:

“The material used in King’s Square is granite!”

……

The people working around them started talking about their appearance.

“Is that man crazy? Licking the stone with his tongue?”

“Haha, I must be shocked by the road in our Changying Territory! If we hadn’t personally participated in the construction, we wouldn’t have believed that such a road would appear!”

“How powerful the witch is is beyond the comprehension of outsiders like them!”

“Yes! Fortunately, we have the ability of the witch, otherwise we would not be able to hold our heads high in front of these outsiders!”

“That’s right! I think these rich people outside are nothing! But when they see the road led by our Changying, they are scared like bumpkins!”

When they saw these caravans, they were a little scared, after all, there were knights in the caravan.

But now seeing their performance, they laughed.

Even their knights knocked on the ground with their scabbards, which showed that they had never seen the world.

For a moment, the people in the territory had an inexplicable sense of pride.

They might never have thought in their whole lives that they would show such a sense of superiority in front of these rich people outside.

“Don’t just blame our witch. I heard from my son that the witch said that she only had her abilities because of the lord. I think our lord is more powerful!”

“Indeed! It’s a pity, if only the lord didn’t like to whip people so much! I was whipped a few times when I prayed last time, and now I still have the shadow!”

“You still pray!”

“I mean last time, I didn’t pray anymore. The lord is right. If the Ahura Mazda I believe in is real, I will definitely come to trouble you!

But now you are safe and sound, which means Ahura Mazda is nothing! From now on, I will only believe in the lord!”

“They are almost at the castle. I wonder what the lord wants to talk to them about? To me, they are just a bunch of bumpkins!”

……

Martins didn’t know that he had been despised by those people he looked down upon.

The scenes he saw along the way shocked him. All his business and travel experiences were completely shattered at this moment. His mind was dizzy.

In this state, he met Richard.
