My Pokémon Player

Lancaster stood up directly. He thought he might be hallucinating, so he shouted to Lance:

"Say what you just said again!"

Lance had no choice but to report the intelligence again:

"When I returned to the shed, I found that the big milk cans and the cubs had all disappeared."

Lancaster, who heard similar words again, finally confirmed that he was not hallucinating, but that the big milk cans were really gone!

He sat back in his seat, not knowing what to say for a while. This blow was too great for him.

Herman reacted in time. He pulled Lance up and asked angrily:

"What do you mean the milk cans disappeared? How did you keep an eye on them? Did they escape? Why didn't you send someone to look for them?"

Faced with this series of questions, Lance didn't even dare to wipe the saliva that Herman sprayed on his face, and quickly replied:

"When I visited the shed with the guests from Guanhai City, the milk cans were still in the shed, but when I said goodbye to those guests with you and returned to the shed, I found that the milk cans were gone."

"In the middle The time was very short, and even if they escaped, they could not run far, but they were not found around the shed, and no militia or residents came to report the situation, which means that the big milk cans did not escape by themselves. "

"When I found that they were missing, I immediately went to look for them around the shed, but I still couldn't see them. Before reporting to you, I also sent people out to look for them and asked them to notify us as soon as they had news. "

Lance knew that every word he said now was related to his life, so he answered very systematically.

First, he explained that the big milk can was not lost when he was in charge, and he was seeing off the guests of Guanhai City at that time.

Then he said that the big milk can did not run away by itself, but disappeared for other reasons, again relieving himself of his responsibility.

Finally, he explained that he did not do nothing, and he had sent people to look for the big milk can a long time ago.

In short, in one sentence, although the big milk can was lost, I did not fail in my duty.

Herman naturally understood what Lance meant. He let go of his hand that was holding Lance's collar and said in confusion:

"You mean, when you took the guests from Guanhai City to visit, the big milk can was still in the shed. It was only a short time for the guests to see it off that the big milk can disappeared?"

"That's right."

Lance saw that the anger on Herman's face had dissipated a lot, and he knew that he had passed a level, but the most difficult level had not yet been passed, and it depended on Baron Lancaster's attitude.

And Lancaster gradually recovered from the blow. He knew in his heart that since the big milk can had been lost, the most important thing now was to find out the reason why the big milk can was lost, and then find the big milk can back.

"I remember that it didn't take you long to send those guests off. Just like what Director Lance said, the milk cans couldn't have run far in such a short time."

"But no one around noticed their traces, which is a bit strange. They can't have evaporated out of thin air, right?"

Lancaster was also very confused. The milk cans were large in size and there were many of them. Whether they ran away or were stolen, it was impossible for them to disappear without any movement.

But the fact is that no one witnessed the milk cans. They really disappeared out of thin air, which is really incredible.

"Secretary Herman, how do you think the milk cans disappeared?"

Lancaster turned to Herman and asked.

"I don't know about this either. Why not ask Director Lance? He is the director of the ranch and is familiar with the milk cans. Maybe he will have some insights."

Herman didn't know how the milk cans disappeared, but Lance, as the director of the ranch, always had to be responsible and had the obligation to explain the matter.

"Captain Lance, do you have any guesses about the disappearance of the big milk tank?"

"I do have some guesses, but I don't dare to say it."

Lance said tremblingly.

"It's already this time, and you're still dithering here. If you have any guesses, just say it!"

Herman said anxiously on the side.

Lancaster waved his hand, signaling Herman not to worry, and then whispered to Lance:

"I know the big milk tank is lost, and you blame yourself, but as you said just now, this matter has little to do with you, so don't have too much burden, just say your thoughts directly, so that we can find the big milk tank faster."

Although Lancaster was very angry that Lance lost the big milk tank, he also knew that this matter really had nothing to do with Lance, and Lance did nothing wrong.

So he didn't say anything harsh to Lance. He just wanted to find out the cause of the matter as soon as possible and then find the big milk tank back.

As for how to punish Lance, that's all for the future.

Lance was relieved to see that Lancaster was not angry. Three-tenths of his fear was real, and the other seven-tenths was fake.

He just wanted to act pitiful to win Lancaster's sympathy. He knew that his lord was a weak person.

As long as he pushed the responsibility away and pretended to be innocent, he would be able to get the forgiveness of Baron Lancaster and save his life.

Therefore, Lance did not hesitate and directly said his guess:

"Lord Baron, I suspect that this matter was done by those people from Guanhai City. Apart from me, they are the only ones who have come into contact with the big milk cans today, and only the people from Guanhai City have this ability. They can learn from us. The big milk jugs were taken away without anyone noticing. "

"So I think the big milk can was stolen and shipped away by people from Guanhai City."

Lance knew that his lord had always been respectful towards Guanhai City, so he did not dare to use the word "steal".

"How is this possible? Why do the people in Guanhai City steal our big milk cans? They can't just smash their own signs for a little profit."

Hermann said in disbelief.

Before Lance expressed his guess, he had never considered that someone from Guanhai City had stolen the big milk can.

The reason is simple. Businessmen in Guanhai City have always been honest and they will not do things that harm their reputation.

Yes, although Herman was disgusted with these profit-seeking businessmen, he had to admit that the businessmen in Guanhai City were very honest in their transactions, and were even more trustworthy than individual nobles.

These merchants know their own position very well. Only by honest transactions can they gain the trust of the nobles and build long-term trading channels.

They never make a one-shot deal. You can say that they do whatever it takes to make a profit, but they will never lose their credibility for the sake of profit.

Because these businessmen understand in their hearts that only by maintaining their reputation can they obtain more benefits.

This is also an important reason why the merchant alliance can develop and grow in a short period of time. Even the nobles, who have always been above the top, have given the merchants enough trust in transactions, which shows the high reputation of Guanhai City.

They, Rose Town, have made deals with Guanhai City for many years. Although they have been ceding their interests, they were all voluntarily given up by successive lords in order to obtain the protection of Guanhai City.

Guanhai City has never had any problems with transactions, and has indeed kept its promise. It is still sheltering Rose Town until now.

Therefore, after learning that the big milk jug was missing, neither Baron Lancaster nor Clerk Herman thought that it would be done by someone from Guanhai City.

Even though Lance put forward his guess, they still didn't believe it. There was no reason for the people in Guanhai City to steal their big milk cans.

"Director Lance, it's not that we don't believe your guess, it's just that the people in Guanhai City have no reason to do this. You usually have very little contact with them, so you may not know that they attach great importance to their credibility, and it is almost impossible to do this. A sneaky thing."

Lancaster mused.

"Yes, we have traded with them many times, and there has never been any problem. The key is, why did they steal the big milk cans? They don't open a ranch, could it be because we don't sell them the big milk can cubs? "

"But we have made the situation very clear. When the cubs grow up, we will continue to sell them cubs. They are all smart people. They should not understand the principle of long-lasting water."

Hermann agreed, agreeing with Baron Lancaster.

In fact, in the entire Qiangwei Town, he is the one who knows the most about Guanhai City. He is usually responsible for dealing with Guanhai City, so he knows a lot of information about Guanhai City through this.

For example, there are very few chambers of commerce in Guanhai City that deal with raw materials. Most of them buy raw materials from other places at low prices and then resell them at high prices through their own channels, or process the raw materials and then sell them at high prices.

Just like their Moo Moo Fresh Milk, after the Guanhai City Chamber of Commerce purchased the fresh milk, they would add other ingredients such as sweetness to it, make it into a high-end drink, and then sell it to nobles and other upper-class people.

The selling price is several times higher than the price they paid for fresh milk, so they don't even bother to run a ranch. It's troublesome and they can't make much money, so they might as well just spend money to buy fresh milk.

They didn't buy the cubs in big milk tanks to raise them for milk, but they ran the Warcraft Auction House, and they bought the cubs just to enrich the variety of Warcraft in the auction house.

Many wealthy people will buy a large milk jug and keep it at home just to drink the freshest milk. Therefore, large milk jugs are still very popular in auction houses.

But Guanhai City will not destroy the reputation it has worked hard for for many years just for a mere twenty large milk cans.

Anyway, Herman didn't believe that people from Guanhai City would do such a thing.

"I really don't know much about the merchants in Guanhai City, but they are the only ones who have come into contact with the big milk can today, and they are the only ones who are suspected. Apart from them, I can't think of anyone else who can transport the big milk can away."

Lance said with a sad face.

He was panicking now. If he didn't shift the responsibility to the people in Guanhai City, he would be in danger.

"What Director Lance said makes sense. Anyway, they are the only ones who have come into contact with the Big Milk Tank today, and their behavior is indeed very strange today. They have stayed in Rose Town and insisted on visiting the Big Milk Tank. "

"The Yaojin Chamber of Commerce operates the second largest Warcraft auction house in Guanhai City. Since Mr. Tom is the descendant of a senior executive of the Chamber of Commerce, he should have seen a lot of Warcraft. Logically speaking, he would not be interested in the big milk tank. generated such strong interest.”

Herman's IQ is not low. He just formed a fixed mindset before and subconsciously thought that the people in Guanhai City were fine.

Now after being reminded by Lance, he also began to feel that something was wrong with Chen Yan and others.

"You're saying that there is no problem in Guanhai City, but those few people might be pretending?"

Lancaster understood what Herman was trying to say.

"I think it's possible. Guanhai City won't ruin its reputation just for some big milk cans, but others don't care about that. The price of big milk cans on the black market is not low."

Herman replied.

"But those people have tokens from the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, or director tokens. You have also seen that token, so you should know that it is real."

"Unless they stole the token, the people in the Chamber of Commerce also know the importance of the token and have always taken good care of it. Even if it is lost, they will immediately send flying monsters to deliver the message to the surrounding territories to prevent other The territory was cheated.”

"We have not received any relevant information recently, indicating that their tokens were not stolen. So where did their director tokens come from?"

Lancaster wondered, the reason why they trust Chen Yan and others so much is because of the director token. If you want to say that their identities are fake, how do you explain that token?

"this"

Regarding the token, Herman didn't know how to explain it.

In fact, they are also unlucky. Generally speaking, directors of chambers of commerce will not hand over their tokens easily. They also know what their tokens mean.

But who made Yinghuo Zhengang reach a cooperation with Yaojin Chamber of Commerce? In order to express his goodwill and trust, Director Locke gave his token to Ryan.

In his opinion, Ryan just wanted to buy some moo milk from Rose Town, and would not do anything to harm Rose Town.

Even if Ryan really does something with the token, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Guanhai City has long decided to abandon Rose Town, and he will not care about the life and death of Rose Town.

And Ryan didn't know that this director token had such a great effect. He thought that the token was just a transaction voucher, so he threw it to Chen Yan. Unexpectedly, Chen Yan relied on this token to obtain The trust of Rose Town also took this opportunity to steal the big milk can.

Not to mention that Lancaster and the others couldn't figure out this series of coincidences. Even when the person involved came, they had to figure it out for a long time.

"Hey, no matter what, let's inform Guanhai City first and ask them if they have lost a director token."

Lancaster said with a sigh.

"Follow your orders, I'll send someone to contact them right now. If they haven't lost the token, what should we do?"

Herman asked cautiously. What he actually meant was that if it was really someone from Guanhai City who stole the big milk can, how should they deal with it.

"Let's talk about it then. Maybe it has nothing to do with Guanhai City. There are other reasons. Director Lance, please lead people to find them yourself. Don't let go of any clues. I don't believe it. There are so many big milk cans. It just evaporates!"

Lancaster changed the subject. He was complaining that Herman didn't open the pot.

If Guanhai City really stole their big milk can, what could he do?

Not only could he not blame Guanhai City, he could also praise Guanhai City for being so clever in transporting the big milk cans so easily. He also had to ask if they needed Meili Sheep.

There is no way, Qiangwei Town is so humble in front of Guanhai City.

Herman also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore.

Lance took the order and said:

"As you command, I will take someone to find you right now!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. When he left the castle, he breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got over this ordeal, and the Baron did not put all the blame on him.

Although he would still be punished for not being able to find the big milk jug, at least his life was saved.

That's right, he didn't expect to find a big milk jug at all. In fact, the Baron also knew that the hope of finding a big milk jug was very slim, so asking him to look for it was just a show.

"It's all the fault of those bastards from Guanhai City! When I see them again next time, I will definitely return those punches and kicks!"

Lance said viciously, he had already concluded in his mind that Chen Yan and the others had stolen the big milk can.

Chen Yan and others who were talked about by Lance also encountered trouble at this time. They were attacked on the way back to Yinghuo Town.

"Big-mouthed bat, use wings to attack!"

A blue figure quickly attacked Xu Ruofeng, who was sitting on the back of the one-horned rhinoceros and chatting with Chen Yan, completely unaware of the big-mouthed bat's attack.

By the time he realized a Pokémon was attacking him, it was already too late.

There was just a "swish" sound, and the wings of the big-mouthed bat crossed Xu Ruofeng's neck.

Xu Ruofeng didn't even have time to say a word, he fell to the ground and died!
