A group of caravan stewards just walked out of the room, but they couldn't help but be shocked.
I saw that the square in Maiye Village was filled with guards.
In addition, there were more than twenty caravan members walking or sitting in front of them.
"Isn't that Dolly? What's going on?"
"That Dolly seems to be dead. Is there still a bloody hole in his chest?"
"These people seem to be members of Sir Valad's caravan, why are there so many dead!"
All of a sudden, the faces of all the caravan stewards turned pale. They didn't know why there was such a big change when they woke up.
"Master Nalant, what happened?" Butler Ute was also very surprised when he saw this scene, but he was not afraid and immediately stepped forward and asked Nalant in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Narant immediately gave a rough summary of last night's situation to Butler Ute.
"Is there such a thing?" Butler Ute was surprised. They stayed in Maiye Village last night and had a quiet and peaceful night. They did not expect that such a fierce battle would occur a few miles away.
"Steward Ute, I want to know the identity of Sir Valad, who helps these people hide his identity!"
"Sir Valad used to be a nobleman with a fiefdom. However, he went bankrupt due to poor management a few years ago. He was unable to pay enough taxes to the Earl for three years. In the end, the Earl exchanged gold coins for his territory!"
"I heard that Sir Valad bought several shops in Tulip City and formed a caravan after receiving gold coins as compensation!"
"This time he took the initiative to approach Lord Andrew and said that he would send a caravan here. Since they are all vassals of Lord Earl, Lord Andrew had no scruples and agreed on the spot. Unexpectedly..."
"Butler Ute, has Sir Valad had any conflicts or unpleasantness with our Berwick family in the past?"
"No, Master Nalant, although our Berwick family is not rich, but because Lord Andrew is brave in battle and an upright and honest nobleman, we only have enmity with Viscount Alding in Tulip City!" Wu
The special butler replied.
"Aldin!" Narant nodded silently. Although there is no evidence, Narant now guesses that there is a 60% chance that this arrangement is related to Aldin, and the other 40% is for Sir Valad.
The money was bought by Quint.
"Steward Ute, those caravan managers don't know the situation at this time. Please help me explain it to them!"
"Okay, Master!" Steward Ute responded immediately, and then quickly walked towards the surprised caravan stewards.
After Ute's explanation, all the caravan managers felt relieved, but they were immediately surprised that the Storm Territory had such an experience.
In order to prove Sir Valad's crime, Nalant immediately waved his hand towards Quick.
Quick immediately pulled out the strips of cloth from the mouths of several prisoners who were still alive.
These prisoners had already accepted the explanation and immediately began to reveal their names and origins.
"Everyone, everyone has heard what they just said! These people are all from the Black Iron Earldom, and they are all subordinates of Baron Quint next door to the Storm Territory!"
"Baron Quint and I have some disputes over some minor issues, such as salt!"
"However, this was originally a matter between Quint and I, but now Sir Valad is helping outsiders plot against my Storm Territory!"
"So, I must report it to the Earl and let him make the decision for me!"
"This time, everyone happened to be in Maiye Village. In order to avoid causing other misunderstandings, I informed everyone. I hope everyone can help me bear witness and publicize the truth about this matter!"
After all, the Storm Territory has just started, so Nalant must be careful to avoid people who are interested in taking advantage of the situation.
For example, he killed caravans indiscriminately and robbed property.
Don’t think this is unnecessary. In this world with limited information, if you don’t take the lead in seizing the right to speak, it will be too late to remedy the situation.
"Don't worry, Sir Narant. We were in Maiye Village last night. Everything was as usual in Maiye Village. These people secretly went out to cause damage. They deserved it!"
"Yes, we can prove it for Sir Narante!"
Several stewards responded immediately, and no one had any doubts.
There were more than twenty people. If Nalan was really causing trouble, they would have heard the noise.
Since they didn't hear any movement, it could only mean that these people left Maiye Village in the middle of the night.
Moreover, these people have self-reported their detailed identities, and it is easy to verify them as long as they are willing, so if Nalant is really cheating, there is no need to come out like this.
"Thank you all very much! You will be returning soon. I will host another banquet for you at noon!"
Nalant nodded with satisfaction.
Next, Mario and the caravans made the final settlement.
Because they all belong to the noble caravan, the amount of goods purchased is not comparable to that of commoners such as Laurie Grocer.
The transaction volume of almost every caravan can reach seven or eight gold coins, and Nalant's caravan even purchased goods worth more than ten gold coins at one time.
After the settlement was completed, Nalant hosted a banquet for everyone. Before the caravan left, he presented several caravan stewards with several pieces of white sugar and white bread, and then sent away the first wave of noble caravans.
As for Sir Valade's matter, Narant has asked Steward Ut to go back and tell his father that Andrew will seek justice from the Earl.
…
It was night, and it was the night of the once-a-week meteor shower. Nalant had not gotten a new elf for several weeks, so he waited early in the vestibule after dinner today.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the night sky turned completely dark, the meteor shower at the end of the sky arrived as expected.
"My little baby is finally here! I just don't know what color elf I can get today?"
"Now I already have green, blue and purple elves, but among the four common elves, I still haven't got the yellow one!"
"Brother Rongguang, if you really care about me, just do it and give me gold!"
Watching the meteors streaking overhead, Narant couldn't help but get excited.
A few minutes passed, and tonight's meteor shower was finally coming to an end. Narant couldn't wait to activate the search function.
Soon, Nalant learned the coordinates of this elf tonight, which was only more than a mile away from the castle.
Nalant ordered Vivian to take care of Catherine who was still in a coma, so tonight he went out of the castle alone to look for the elf.
Riding a horse, Nalant soon arrived at his destination, which was in an open wasteland.
Arriving at the edge of the meteorite crater, Nalant dismounted and smashed the meteorite shell with his long sword.
"Eh!" The next moment, Nalant was stunned, "It turns out to be the rich man Jin... this... this... Mr. Rongguang is so awesome!"
Nalant beamed, no matter what kind of mine it was, I believed it would be a sure profit.
