Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 58: Opening up the trade route (I) The last stop

After half a month of detour, the caravan arrived safely at the last destination of this trip - located in the northeastern border area of ​​Kadlo Province, the military town of Gresley, a semi-military town on the northern border, and the only town in Kadlo Province that has free trade with the northern Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom of Thorok Province.

Although the Kingdom of Ilia and the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom are still in a state of mutual hostility, the business of the military town of Gresley has not been greatly affected.

As soon as they stepped into the city, the aroma of wine filled the air, making the guards of the caravan who had been sleeping in the open air all the way intoxicated.

Looking around, dwarves and humans in groups of three or two were "arm in arm", wandering on the road with drunken faces.

Correspondingly, there were surprisingly many patrolling guards on the city streets.

With just a light sweep, Weilin found no less than a hundred soldiers wearing leather armor and holding standard iron swords.

"My Lord, I have inquired clearly. The Gresley Chamber of Commerce is located in the East District of the military town." Raymondo squeezed out of the crowd and came to the open space where the caravan temporarily stopped to report to Weilin.

"Let's go, we have been out for two months."

"Yes."

After passing through a crowded street, the caravan successfully arrived at the final destination of this trip, the Gresley Chamber of Commerce established by the Gresley garrison-the Gresley Chamber of Commerce.

Looking at the guards standing guard at the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, Weilin was slightly surprised.

"Low-level bronze soldiers, worthy of being a chamber of commerce opened by the Gresley Military Town."

After several normal procedures, Weilin met the president of the Gresley Chamber of Commerce, Kane, the deputy commander of the Gresley Military Town, in a reception room. He was a kind and hard-to-see middle-aged man.

"Wein, welcome."

"You're welcome, Commander Kane." Weilin smiled and bowed slightly to express his respect.

Kane motioned Weilin to sit down, and asked directly: "Weilin, why did you come here? Or is it just for business?"

"Of course it's for business." Weilin did not hide anything and frankly stated his purpose.

Hearing the other party's answer, Kane just smiled, and didn't believe that the other party's purpose was so simple, and then continued to talk about this topic.

"In that case, what do you want to trade?"

"Food, weapons and wine."

"What about slaves? As far as I know, you should be short of people to open up your territory."

"Commander Kane, my territory is not short of people."

"That's right, your family has several nobles in the province of Kadlo, so it's impossible to lack population. It's me who said too much." Kane's eyes were a little disappointed, but he concealed it well, and Weilin couldn't see anything from it.

After half an hour of conversation, he finally bought 50 tons of wheat at four copper coins per catty, spending 400 gold coins, and bought 200 barrels of wine at five silver coins per barrel.

As for the weapons he wanted to buy, Kane also said he could not help.

The situation between the Kingdom of Elia and the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom became increasingly tense. There were many nobles who wanted to gain military merits. The weapons that could be sold in the military town of Gresley were sold out a month ago.

The remaining weapons have touched the red line of the military town's weapons inventory. Although they can be sold, a silver knight group was suddenly transferred to the Kadlo Province, which made these border troops dare not act rashly.

Since the purchase was fruitless, Weilin could only think of another way. Fortunately, the expansion of the territory has entered a period of stability, and the need for weapons is not too urgent.

After paying the deposit and signing the business agreement, Weilin said goodbye to Kane.

After leaving the Gresley Chamber of Commerce, Weilin took Raymondo to stroll around.

"My Lord, is it going well?" Raymondo followed behind Weilin and asked.

"Everything is going well. This business trip has come to an end. After the goods are loaded, we will set off to return."

Unconsciously, Weilin passed through three commercial streets and came to a dark alley.

"Why am I here?"

Looking at the dilapidated environment around him, Weilin asked Raymondo with a question mark on his head.

"I am also confused."

Raymondo held the scabbard in his left hand and the hilt in his right hand, looking around vigilantly.

For some reason, the two came here in a daze.

"The breath of the devil."

Suddenly, footsteps came from the alley, and a skinny old man in a gray robe appeared in front of the two.

Raymondo saw this and drew out his iron sword to block Weilin.

For this uninvited guest, Weilin's spirit collapsed instantly, but when he saw the mark on the other's chest representing the ascetic of the Dawn Church, his nervous mood was relieved.

"Believers of the Dawn, why do you say that?"

Weilin pushed away Raymondo who was blocking him, bowed slightly, and asked him.

The gray-robed old man shook the scepter in his hand, and a temporary barrier was unfolded.

The gorgeous and soft light instantly enveloped the two.

Looking around, the alley was still the same alley, but the president of his guild had disappeared.

Before Weilin could ask, the gray-robed old man lowered his head and spoke slowly.

"Respected, please forgive my rudeness. I am tracking down the demon according to the will of my God. Please forgive me."

Another muted voice. Weilin remembered that the last time was when he signed a contract with the legendary wizard Anastasia.

Seeing that the other party did not look directly at him, he was a little confused, but now was obviously not the time to think about these things.

"How can I help you?"

"Sir, thank you for your help. May I ask if you have encountered any demons on the road, or heard of any rumors of demons appearing?"

After hearing this, Weilin shook his head and said, "During the journey, my men and I did not encounter any demons, nor did we hear of any rumors of demons appearing. But..."

After considering it for a while, Weilin continued, "Kent Brom, the lord of a relatively prosperous barony not far from the Gresley Military Town, may have the information you want due to his unusual behavior."

After hearing this, the gray-robed old man immediately thanked him, "Thank you for your help, may the morning light shine on you!"

Then, the barrier disappeared, and the gray-robed old man disappeared with it.

"My lord, what happened just now, that ascetic from the Church of Dawn?" Raymondo asked in confusion, looking at the empty alley.

Weilin held the token of the Dawn Church that suddenly appeared in his right hand, and said to himself: "The Kadlo Province may not be peaceful recently."

"Let's go back and rest first."

He patted Raymondo's shoulder, signaled him to put away his weapon, and turned to walk towards the caravan station.

At this moment, the figure of the gray-robed old man appeared outside the Gresley Military Town. He first prayed to the God of Dawn, then took a deep look at the town, and moved towards the destination.

At the same time, a well-equipped army of about 3,000 people set out from the provincial capital, and the destination was the Kent Territory that was in civil strife.
