Mystic Dominator

Follow the merchant into the tent set up on the carriage. The straw and curtains have been covered long ago to prevent moisture and dust, so it is no problem to sleep in it.

With the firelight leaking in from outside, Ronald looked at the not-so-big space in the dark.

The carriage is just an ordinary delivery cart, and even the tent above the head was added later by the owner. Under the two of them are neatly arranged wooden boxes and sacks that can be felt through touch, and some grains of crops can be barely seen through the gaps in the carriage.

hehe......

Isn't this a coincidence?

Ronald had seen this kind of crop in the field when he passed the farmland on the way just now, but judging from the color of the seeds, the ones on the other side of the town were far from ripe.

Immediately, the identity of Naxos was quietly presumed in Ronald's mind.

In the following conversation before falling asleep, he dared not relax all the time, and he kept pulling up all his energy to deal with this guy.

But some surprises.

Mr. Hong Shang, who was lying on the carriage together, was very talkative, and he didn't continue to ask for too much information about himself.

The focus of the conversation was basically on Naxos himself.

He introduced himself as Naxos Robin, and he was originally an ordinary person from the First Entrod Empire. Since he was a child, living in a rural village, he was unwilling to be a farmer until his death. So when he was thirteen years old, he secretly followed a passing merchant and sold himself as an apprentice.

Since then, I have traveled far and wide and experienced many things, and it is now 30 years old.

Although he is married with a daughter and has savings in the bank, he has never had the opportunity to buy a suitable store.

The well-informed Naxos understands the future development of the world. In this environment, going to the countryside to buy a house for the elderly is almost equivalent to letting his children give up a good life in the future.

And buying a house in the city...

The housing price of the place you want is rising with the development of the city.

Housing is not a problem for the time being, but it is absolutely impossible to afford to buy a shop.

Instead of doing business, what industry can he engage in if he has been in business all his life?

A job might be found, but it was definitely not a comfortable job.

Therefore, due to the reality, he still insists on traveling between many countries, doing business of buying and selling, trying to fight hard.

It's a pity he is old.

In this era, over 35 years old is an absolute advanced age.

Naxos often feels powerless to do business now. All kinds of new things make him more and more unfamiliar with the world, and he also thinks that perhaps it is really time to retire.

Introduced to this point, but also revealed the family background.

The slightly tired merchant showed enthusiasm far beyond imagination during the conversation.

Could it be that his status as a nobleman is so popular?

To a certain extent, Ronald is even mentally prepared to deal with the possible classic plot of a rich businessman marrying a daughter.

Don't be too obvious in the other party's words!

However, something unexpected happened again.

The exchange tonight suddenly came to an end.

The process after Naxos was not as Ronald expected. It was just a deep and exaggerated heart-to-heart chat. The merchant urged Ronald to sleep on the grounds of the hard work, and the enthusiasm in his tone faded very much. fast.

fair enough--

The result of nothing happening happened exactly as Ronald wanted.

Assuming that the plot of a married woman comes up now, it is really inconvenient for him to refuse outright as a character of a down-and-out aristocrat.

If you really want to agree, what should you do then?

You can't really 'go on the road' with this guy!

In this way, the two people with their own ulterior motives fell asleep in the carriage, not knowing who was plotting whom.

————

After the rain, the sun shines.

With their backs facing each other, Ronald and the merchant woke up together in the early morning carriage.

After a night of heavy rain, the team did not waste much time the next morning. After packing up the camp, they set off again in the mud.

Although the road conditions were poor, there were no particularly serious problems holding them back.

Taking this opportunity, Ronald took a good rest for the day in the carriage. Through proper chatting and chatting with people in the team, it can be considered as an initial integration into the team.

The number of carriages seen last night corresponds to the composition of this merchant team.

Among the four carriages, except for Naxos who negotiated with him last night, the other three carriages belonged to three different merchants. At the same time, the guards were hired by each of the four merchants, and then rested alternately according to the round.

The situation of the other three merchants was different from that of Naxos.

The three of them were all grown men, and one of them, named Thomson, brought a young apprentice with him, who seemed to be no older than 14 years old, and the goods they sold were also different.

During the conversation on the road, Ronald also used his status as an aristocrat who was eager to obtain information from the outside world to learn more new news.

As new businessmen, these guys are definitely well-informed.

Far better than the information obtained in the notes.

First of all, the place where the merchant team is located is the imperial country called Grid, which has ruled this land for more than 350 years. It is the southernmost tip of the Latochoa continent and the most powerful country in the world.

Economics, politics, culture, science...

All aspects are at the forefront of the world.

In terms of geography——

The location of the small town where Ronald crossed at the beginning belonged to the territory of Grid.

It is located in the radiating range of the most marginal agricultural zone in the large city of Brenwich, and it is also the extremely frontier and desolate area of ​​the Greed Empire.

The south of the town is a coastal area without a good port, and the hidden reefs and cliffs make it a natural danger; while in the north and east, it is a complete virgin forest, a completely undeveloped area.

Finally, that is the direction where Naxos and his merchant team came.

Speaking of it is also the ability of this group of well-informed merchants.

Between the cliffs in the south of the Joyz Forest and the north of the sea, there is an ancient road that was destroyed by an earthquake a hundred years ago and is now basically unusable due to disrepair.

These merchants took risks and took advantage of this 'shortcut' to bypass the Yoiz Forest in order to achieve the purpose of fast entry and then start business activities.

But it's a pity that this secret business route may not be used in the future.

About 40 years ago, the former Queen Danterian I announced that the steam engine developed by the inventor was legal for civilian use, becoming the first country in the world to start the steam revolution, and thus established national hegemony. Other countries also realized this. How powerful is the power of rapid development.

Across the Joyz Forest, the country called Entrod followed the same path.

It is a pity that the king of Entrod does not have the ruling ability of Danterian I. Because of the distribution of benefits and various conflicts, the country fell into serious civil strife 6 years ago.

Until not long ago, the largest army in the territory of Entrod barely completed the unification of the domestic armed forces, and now it has evolved into a military and political country called the Second Empire of Entrod.

No matter how courageous these merchants are, they dare not do smuggling business under the eyes of the red-eyed military merchants.

In the end, it was the destination of this group of businessmen.

After entering the border of Greed, their first goal was Brenwich.

The most modern and bustling city in the east of Grid!
