Chapter 634: The surging waves of the Dragon Empire
Hill didn't think too much. No fool would think that he had the ability to spy on a great mage. He felt that the An family was just worried about outsiders coming to the door.
The An family didn't dare to stop him, but at least he had to know who it was.
Moreover, for Hill, who was used to beings like tour guides, it was a good thing to have someone to guide him when he went out, so he simply agreed.
Although Farna reported that the two guards did not look like low-level warriors, they should have become advanced professional weapon masters specialized in Shoulong.
However, Hill had seen some introductions to this profession, and his level and abilities were only equivalent to those of a level 22 knight, so it was impossible to pose any threat to him.
After his six puppet knights form a knight formation, they can fight against them.
The An family probably just didn't want to send people with a lower level than Hill's followers, rather than having any other intentions.
Farna could handle the matter of entertaining the two weapon masters, and Hill just listened to a few words.
He placed a two-story elf cabin entwined with vines and wall-climbing plants on a scenic lakeside circle in the back garden, and then sat happily on the second floor with wide windows, admiring the sunset over a pond full of lotus flowers.
Jiangnan scenery.
At this time, the northern land should have entered the extreme winter, but the south of the Shoulong Empire is still as warm as spring. The Jiangnan here is closer to the south than in the past world, and the winter is really comfortable.
And because of the large iceberg, it is not hot even in summer. Basically, the temperature difference in the four seasons is less than 10 degrees.
Therefore, the prosperity of Haidong Province is not only due to maritime trade, but also because they are never short of food. Just like the flowers, plants and trees in the back garden, they can grow well without any need for gardeners to take care of them.
The large lake outside the courtyard is different from the carefully crafted exquisite garden. On the shore of the lake in the distance, there are lush reeds and yellow ducks, gulls, cranes and some swans are perching on the lakeside, playing in the water.
Hill was sitting on a lounge chair, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, watching the goblins flying up and down in the back garden, looking for his favorite flowers, and felt peaceful.
He couldn't help but close his eyes, searching for past memories in this familiar smell.
This is a bit difficult.
The little flower fairies are very satisfied with the blooming flowers in the garden, and are working hard to make them bloom more brilliantly. At the same time, they are chirping and deciding which flower they want the nectar of tomorrow morning.
Hill's helpless smile, but in their rapid tone, he fell asleep unconsciously.
Although he misses the past, the reality is still beautiful.
When Hill woke up in the early morning sunshine, he saw again in a daze the beautiful lake with "green lakes connected by waterfalls, water and mountains opening into a fairyland."
He sighed softly. It was probably hard to see the beautiful scenery of the colorful blue sea and the dancing sword rocks in the wind and snow again. It was the same for him and the people in the original world. For such a terrible earthquake, the surrounding mountains were okay.
But that shallow lake and stream definitely cannot exist.
Hill stood up gently and walked slowly to the bottom.
Different from the second floor, which is arranged like a pavilion, the bottom floor of the Elf House is the living area. On the hanger outside the bathroom, Farna has already hung a set of clothes similar to the robe he wears.
It just turned into a dark green color.
Hill didn't remember that he had done this before. It must have been done by Farna overnight. He couldn't help but look at the living puppet following behind him and gave her a questioning look.
"Sir," Farna said seriously, "I've seen a lot along the way. Brown and gray are the most commonly used colors among civilians in Shoulong. Although you don't care about these status differences, your transaction partner does.
Yesterday, Mr. An Ran peeked at your robe many times and couldn't help but look at it several times before leaving.
I think he insisted on assigning two guards to you just because he didn’t want some people to think that you are a commoner and offend him.”
Farna was the intelligent puppet given to him by Frank. She was not very intelligent at first. Although her learning ability was very good, she was still dull and could only speak one or two simple sentences.
It's just that she has a strong learning ability. Although she can only do some housework due to lack of energy, she is already an excellent head maid.
But the starting point for her thinking was more commonplace, and Hill knew that she could only listen to half of what Farna said.
But...did An Ran really pay attention to the color of his clothes?
Hill did seem to realize that the businessman had been secretly watching him before leaving, and it was only later that he remembered to send the guards.
He nodded, then follow Farna's advice and change it!
"Are those pockets made of crystal cloth?" Hill asked casually.
"Yes." Farna said sternly, "Liszt told me that the pockets on your clothes and the inner layer of the hood must be made of crystal cloth."
Hill nodded and simply washed and changed clothes.
When An Ran arrived, he was followed by many young guards carrying large boxes.
The guards put the boxes away and left directly.
These are the lowest martial apprentices. They are just strong, but the An family is not yet a royal family and they don't have the guts to let warriors do things like transporting goods.
Of course, the apprentices who are responsible for transporting goods in the Zhenbao Building can be trusted, but they are easy to talk at a young age. An Ran does not want these guys to go back and spread some gossip, and has no intention of letting them meet Hill.
But letting them go was troublesome! An Ran could only bend down and lift the lids of the boxes one by one.
When Farna came over with the list, she saw the round and fat butt sticking out in the air.
She hesitated for a while before asking: "Mr. An Ran, can you let your entourage do this?"
An Ran suddenly jumped up, but his too fat body was stuck between two boxes. He could only awkwardly kick the box in front of him with his feet.
Farna quickly called the six knight puppets, and An Ran escaped.
However, as a big businessman, An Ran always had a perfect face. He counted the goods with Farna without changing his expression.
It doesn’t matter. Mr. Bolaño’s maid won’t say anything to anyone else anyway. As for what happens after they return to Faerûn, hey, who of the people over there would talk about a Shoulong merchant?
Ugly?
With the help of those knights, Farna quickly counted the items, and then readily exchanged supplies with An Ran.
An Ran happily took over the huge gemstone ring: this kind of storage ring is rarely traded in Faerun. Even if the great mages have it, they use it to exchange it with the wizards for top resources.
When they settled down, only the head of the family had someone younger than this.
They usually use storage boxes when they go out, and these are the boxes he brought. Although they are made of wood with natural space, they can only expand the internal space five times, but this is already the top-level chamber of commerce.
A treasure that only one can possess.
Although the things in their Anjia Zhenbao Building are good, in the eyes of those great mages, they are just some luxurious things and are not worth exchanging for such top-notch good things.
An Ran really didn't expect that when he saw the storage ring in the warehouse, he shamelessly tried a few words, and the tower spirit casually agreed that he could use the ring to redeem part of the purchase price!
If Liszt had not only promised to give him one storage ring converted with gold! coins, An Ran would have given up even the fine gold that Young Master An Yanfei wanted!
However, all Enron's happiness ended with Hill, who was dressed up and ready to go out.
There was only one roar left in his heart: How nice was the gray-brown robe yesterday! Why should I change it?
If the Archmage Bolaño wearing that suit of clothes was a great beauty, now that his skin was particularly white against the dark green, An Ran would dare to say that he was a peerless beauty.
Menlong people have always regarded tall and fair skin as their beauty, and Hill has almost every aspect of beauty that they appreciate.
An Ran felt like he couldn't laugh anymore. He tried his best to recall where the famous top-level dandies in Haidong Province were now and whether he had to say hello to their families in advance.
The children of high-ranking officials from aristocratic families have always been very bold. Even if they knew that all the archmages were above level 20, they would not dare to take action. None of these guys had many demon-sealing things.
Moreover, they have become accustomed to the days when they can get away with it by taking out their subordinates to take the blame after kicking the iron plate, so they may really test it.
An Ran pursed his lips. Even if it was revealed that the An family had access to the top power in Faerun, he couldn't risk waiting any longer.
Shou Long has big things to do now... He must not offend such a strong man.
The Shoulong Empire has an enclave in Waterdeep City, and naturally there are people from a big family like the An family there. However, northern Faerûn has entered a state of extreme winter, and some news will not come until spring.
As soon as the news about An Yanfei came, the An family became concerned. They absolutely did not believe that such a powerful mage could remain unknown in Faerun.
The most powerful wizard in the family risked not being able to use his spiritual power again for seven days, and directly contacted the people in Waterdeep City, and finally got a piece of news: the big whale should be the mount of the Lord of Aglaia.
.And the city lord did go on a trip.
An Ran was informed of this incident only after returning to the family yesterday.
The family asked him to ensure that the city lord only saw the good side of the Shoulong Empire. He could even expose his identity in Renhe, and never let him think that the Shoulong Empire was really like the propaganda of the Japanese Empire and the Tulong Kingdom.
So rotten and depraved.
An Ran looked at the cute little heads popping out of the pockets of the robe, and couldn't help but bite the meat in his mouth: Sure enough, when the benefits are too great, the troubles are not too small.
"An Ran." The happy Hill was completely unaware of the entanglement in the big businessman's heart, and just informed him, "I will go shopping on the street, and the two guards will take me with them. You go back and deal with business!"
An Ran gave a bitter smile: "Mr. Bolaño will go play first. I will come to you after I return the goods. There is no one here in Renhe who knows where to have fun better than I, An Ran!"
