Chapter 739 Butterfly wings fluttering in Bonie City
Burnie City is the capital of the Kavhoka Great Plains. Since hundreds of years ago, this land of rich water and grass has become a famous grain-producing area in the mainland. It has been a very important strategic location during the past several black disasters.
area.
Even when the Bone-gnawing King ravaged the continent a hundred years ago, the ravaged and miserable Kafhokar was among the first to be recovered.
Even the Bone-gnawing King, who used plague barrels to clear the way, did not destroy this place wantonly, because Lord Philip knew very well that after the age of the gnolls came, he would still need this place to provide food for his empire.
Now, Kavhoka has been occupied by Nordtov for almost half a year. This area is still fulfilling its past responsibilities, especially after a group of new lords were dispatched. The ecology of this grain-producing area is not only
It was not destroyed, but operated more efficiently under the "New Dynasty and Elegant Government" of the new lords.
Of course, this does not mean that those Yankee lords are very kind. After all, the rebellion in the Kafhoka area has not stopped since they occupied it, but this is not a bad thing for the lords. Where there is a rebellion, it means that that place is a threat to the people.
If the wolf girl is not loyal, she will send the brave Winter Wolf Legion to send all the rebels there to heaven.
Then, new fertile land will be incorporated into the lord's large estate, and then distributed to his loyal servants.
In this way, the Yankee aristocrats and manor owners can encroach on Cavhoka and establish a relatively stable ruling system. As for how the landless farmers who were driven out of their land due to "rebellion" will survive
In this difficult winter, that is obviously not something that gentlemen need to consider.
You see, there is always a strong demand for young men and women's servants in the market in Burnie City, isn't it?
If you don't have land, can't you still sell yourself and become a serf in the master's manor? So how could a kind-hearted master allow his slaves to starve or freeze to death?
Maybe you will be assigned back to the small house you built with your own hands, return to your hometown with another identity, and then live a life of "no worries about food and clothing" and be "supported". You only need to work to get food, and you don't have to worry anymore.
A happy day that comes unexpectedly.
What a beautiful thing this is!
As for those stubborn and stupid people who are unwilling to sign the contract of sale, the gentlemen are kind-hearted and don't want to see people freezing to death and starving to death in front of their own homes. Where are the slave traders? Take these guys away quickly!
Isn't Transia going to war and needing people?
Just give it away at the price of one and a half, and you can also gain the favor of the Governor of Portlandia and the Archon. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
There is no danger of rebellion in Kavhoka. The gentlemen have eliminated the stubborn guys to prevent them from teaching their honest serfs. Transia has received fresh cannon fodder. The Kingdom of Nordtov has made efforts to fight against the black disaster and dealt with it.
People can also get a very expensive commission.
You see, everyone is happy with it.
In short, after completing such a set of procedures, the situation in the newly occupied area has stabilized strangely since winter entered, and the grain business in Bonie City is on the right track after two or three months of depression.
Especially after the talented and intelligent Wolf Lady signed a food security agreement with the Transians, even the old grain that could not be sold after being delayed found a perfect market.
Moreover, Transia's almost endless demand for various commodities has also stimulated the handicrafts and nascent industries in and around Burnie City, allowing some businessmen to take advantage of the limelight in recent months and get rich overnight.
Chance.
Even now, when the Black Disaster is in full swing, and when the last of the three snowfalls this year falls on this plain, Bonie City is still as warm as spring, and the cold weather cannot suppress the burning hearts of the merchants.
.
They were shopping in the market, running around the manors, and searching in the fields.
At this time, just sending a carload of things to Transia can make a carload of profit. No ambitious businessman will allow himself to be idle in this winter of wealth, and this kind of enthusiasm from the bottom of his heart also makes the entire
The city of Burnie seemed to be "alive". It started to be noisy in the early morning and would not become quiet until midnight.
"Why are you still looking at the scenery outside the window? You've been looking at it for three days, aren't you tired of it?"
On the fourth floor of a rental street-facing residence on the outskirts of Bonie City's largest grain trading market, a slightly frail lady's voice sounded in the room, with a hint of scolding and dissatisfaction.
she says:
"Have you finished your homework yesterday? Bring it to me to check."
"It's on the table. You can see for yourself."
The girl who was lying by the window looking at the lively trading market outside said without looking back. It seemed that to her, those complex, mysterious and wonderful psychic knowledge were nothing compared to the boats she was watching here.
The goods are sent out along the pier along the river.
Those ships were moving very quickly.
They must rush to deliver these goods along the Cadman River to the Undermar Hills before the river freezes again, and then spend the next ice flood period in the commercial town called "Strandstorm", maybe they can still find time
Let's go play in the casino in Booty Bay.
The girl lying by the window is not just watching the fun.
It can be seen from the girl's sparkling intelligent eyes that she is judging some of the current situation in Burnie City by observing these commercial activities.
Her appearance is somewhat different from that of mainlanders.
Especially the skin color. The healthy wheat-colored skin is a bit darker than the white Zealanders and Nords, and even darker than the yellow skin of the ancient Calum country, but to be honest, it is not.
Ugly, this girl is not very old, but her figure has become very exaggerated.
Her beauty is not the squeamishness of a lady, but more akin to the healthy beauty of years of exercise. An inappropriate description. This girl is like a vigorous female warrior, full of youthful vitality.
She was wearing a very ordinary maid's outfit, but there was a strange decoration on her bunted hair. The shape of that thing really didn't look like the style of the Old World.
Behind her in the somewhat old but very clean living room, the fireplace was burning, bringing heat and making the room very warm, while a man wearing an astrologer's coat and a witch's hat was dressed like a "charlatan"
The tall woman coughed as she sat on the sofa and picked up the girl's homework.
After casually flipping through it, I confirmed the progress and stopped looking at the details.
She seemed to be running out of energy, and she coughed a few times, which meant some kind of order. The girl at the window curled her lips and turned back to the kitchen to get busy. A few minutes later, a piece of hot tea with apple slices was delivered to her temporary
Master and mentor at hand.
"What a demeanor you have"
The woman with a sick face but whose age could not be clearly seen sighed, and like magic, a small medicine bottle popped out of her fingertips. She dropped a few drops of strangely colored medicine into the black tea, then drank it in one gulp.
.
This is hot tea!
It tasted absolutely hot to the mouth, but this unhealthy woman didn't care at all.
She leaned on the sofa and waited for the potion to take effect, then closed her eyes and sighed:
"There is probably no servant on this continent who would treat his master as rudely as you do. The disguise we chose is really bad. Forget it, you can pretend to be someone else during the rest of your journey to Nordtov.
My apprentice.
Remember to wear a mask and long clothes, your complexion is a bit eye-catching, and you are not willing to obey the illusion potion."
"Hey, Lina, it's not that I don't want to take your potion, it's just that your potion is of no use to me at all. We have tried it before, right?"
The girl put her hands on her hips and said very dissatisfied:
"Kulkan's divine power is still protecting me, making it difficult for these mortal things to change my true form. It's not my fault! It was obviously you who patted your chest and said you could handle everything after I rescued you.
As a result, he is the most powerful psychic master in the Old Continent, but he can't even cover up the fluctuations in his divine power?"
"What? What did you say? I didn't seem to hear clearly just now. What is it?"
The woman leaning on the sofa exclaimed in a careless manner:
"You are really young. As expected, as long as you live long, you can see all kinds of crazy things!"
There was actually a young chosen one who said to me, "It's just divine power", so in your eyes, do the psionic masters in our old continent all monsters? Do you think that if you just find a psionic master on the road, you can even have the power of a god?
Can they be dealt with easily?
We are talking about gods, my dear Chuchut.
Although I still don’t quite understand what level of existence the god you served before is, I can tell from just the little divine power he has left in you that he is no more powerful than the several gods in the old continent.
Weak.
You really will give me problems.
Alas, if you are really that eager to solve this problem, then I suggest you go to Transia and find Mrs. Tracey, the Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture Clan.
The Scarlet Witch, who had been dead for more than a hundred years and then suddenly 'resurrected', was the vampire with the best knowledge of divine power on this continent. She definitely had a way.
Provided you pay the starting price.”
"snort."
After being ridiculed by Lina for a while, the girl stopped talking.
The atmosphere between the two became dull. After a while, the girl named "Chuchute" couldn't help but say:
"Are you sure this can work? Is there really a power that can help me in that country called Callum? I mean, in addition to asking for help from terrible vampires, is there really anyone in the world who can help me and what I am doing?
A kingdom of suffering?”
"I'll tell you when we set off."
Lina closed her eyes and rested her mind, feeling that the medicine was getting stronger. She felt a little drowsy, and then rubbed her pale forehead and said:
"Either go south to the Origin, or go east to the Ancient Kingdom of Callum. These are the only two places in the Old Continent that can help you and me at the same time.
I gave you the choice because you decided to go east, but to this day you are unwilling to tell me the reason why you don’t want to go to the closer place of origin. You seem to have a strong opinion against the Songhai people."
"I said, that's the realm of the sun and the moon!"
Chuchute said angrily:
"But the place where the sun shines is also the domain of Kulkan. My god warned me that if we go there, we will expose my whereabouts. This is very dangerous! You, a woman with a bad character, can't understand the mission I shoulder.
.”
"Oh, it's just about helping and rescuing. I've seen too many of them. Anyway, that's it. Let me sleep for a while and go out to buy some things. Then we will continue to move towards the wilderness, and then cross the White Mountains to enter the kingdom of the Dragon Emperor.
middle.
A hundred years ago, I had some friendship with the people there, but now I'm down and out. I hope they can take me in, a homeless old man, out of consideration for their past kindness."
Ms. Lina was already dozing off while leaning on the sofa. She waved her hands and said:
"Help me wash my clothes, thank you."
"Ah, damn it, can't you wash your underwear yourself? Do you want me to wash this thing for you? You psionicists from the Old World are too ungrateful!"
Chuchut suddenly became furious.
But Lina had already pretended to be asleep and could not hear her complaints.
If you don't want to listen, the girl is chanting sutras.
The girl sighed helplessly. Although she still wanted to continue her social observation, she understood that business was more important.
Although Lina is careless, extremely lazy, and has a bad style, she is indeed fulfilling her promise. After she rescued this guy on the coast of the Antani region, she has been protecting her all the way east.
Without the experienced Lina, Chuchut would never have been able to avoid the eyes that secretly followed her during the turbulent years and cross half of the Old Continent to reach the city of Burnie.
Moreover, Chuchut is a sensible child. She knows that Lina is actually seriously injured and has to drink that strange potion every day to stay alive. This guy essentially died once. Although she does not tell her true situation, Chuchut can
Understand, Lina is going to the ancient country of Callum actually to save herself.
Her situation was really bad.
"Oh, is this my destiny?"
Chuchut came to the bathroom to help Lina wash her robes with self-pity. While she was as busy as a maid, she lamented in her heart why her fate had taken a turn for the worse.
Obviously, I am a young man with a noble status in my hometown, with clothes on my hands and food on my hands, food on my hands, and my mouth open. In just a few months, I have not only learned to cook for myself, but also have to help others wash clothes. It is really miserable.
"Ding dong"
Just as the girl screamed, the doorbell rang suddenly. Chuqiu Te subconsciously grasped the simple obsidian dagger at his waist. A layer of crimson light like the sun flashed on the hunting blade.
.
She calmed herself down, walked to the door and asked softly:
"who?"
"Room service, ma'am."
A gentle voice sounded outside the door, which was no different from the room service two days ago. Chuchut was about to open the door, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was pressed down.
She looked back and saw Lina shaking her head at her and making a dodge gesture.
Chuchut immediately held his head and squatted on guard. The next moment
Lina took a deep breath!
The high-level Thorn Assassins outside the door were still winking at each other. The unexpected Dragon Breath Technique spurted out from the other side of the door. There was almost no psychic fluctuation before being released. The assassins had no time to defend themselves and were caught in the tumbling fire.
In the dragon's breath fire.
They are vampires!
I am naturally afraid of this kind of high-level spell with terrifying positive energy, and I will almost be wiped out by the other party as soon as I meet him.
The rolling dragon's breath surged out along the corridor to both sides, almost instantly igniting everything that could be ignited, and then ignited the upper floor of the rental apartment in a weird explosion. Amid the chaotic screams, a raid was forced to evolve.
It became a strong attack.
But the vampires are facing "Dragon Flame" Lina!
The former master of the sect of the Evocation Tower, the most destructive among the three towers of the Ring Tower, even though he has been tortured by injuries to the point where he only has half a life left, this kind of person is still not something that a few high-ranking vampires can deal with in broad daylight.
After all, he started with the Dragon Breath Technique, which is basically equivalent to a walking humanoid fire dragon.
After easily repelling the vampire, Lina coughed and backed up to the window while protecting Chuchut who had already put on his backpack. She said:
"Ahem, you've been observing these past few days, right? Now let's make an idea, little princess, where should we run?"
"Those ships!"
Chuchut whispered:
"Jump down from here and use the invisibility spell to enter the market, steal a few clothes and then get on the boat. I saw that the boat will transport poor serfs to Transia. It is obviously some kind of smuggling activity. It must have opened up the local Thorn clan.
relation.
Even if they send people to search, they won't search those ships.
We can go to Transia first and take another road to the ancient kingdom of Callum, didn't you say? We can also reach the western border of the empire by crossing the Dark Mountains."
"I said it, but now the Dark Mountains, my God, are we going to face the black disaster again?"
Lina sighed and said:
"Forget it, I followed your idea. Since the Thorn clan has been alarmed, the road in the wilderness is destined to be unreachable. I can't hold on anymore. After I jump, you take me with you.
damn it!
I knew I had to pay you back with my life, if I can still get another life after today."
