Chapter 571 Alas, you have to know how to measure yourself
Anthony knew he was in trouble. The salt and sugar were too pure. This was not the style of traveling merchants.
The salt and sugar Ange brought out were all made by himself. The salt was dried in Zhuilong Lake, and the sugar was squeezed from beetroots, with very few impurities.
Ange first put them into the God's Realm to be inactivated, then transferred them to the dimensional space and covered them with soil. They did not get damp and clump, so when they were taken out, they were white and loose, very beautiful.
Salt and sugar of this quality are simply not something that traveling merchants can get. They can only get some inferior ones, mixed with sand, unfiltered, and even lumps of brown sugar and brown sugar, which contain a lot of impurities.
.
Doesn't Anthony understand this? Yes, but it's too late, and it's too late for him to add sand, and he didn't expect someone to come to his door so soon. It's just a holiday celebration, why would anyone care about the quality of sugar and salt?
But even though he knew there was trouble, Anthony didn't panic at all. He thought of his words as soon as he rolled his eyes, turned around and smiled: "My lord, you are kidding me. The ladders of the Warlock Alliance are flying overhead every day. What kind of spies do you need to send?"
?”
"But these products do come from the Warlock Alliance. Our Chamber of Commerce has gone bankrupt. We can't sell a batch of high-end products we have hoarded. We don't want to take advantage of those outsiders. Now we are offering discounts to give back to our fellow villagers. We are selling them at low prices. Several
Would you like to buy some, adults?"
The Skeleton Knight was stunned for a moment: "Is it really something from the Warlock Alliance?" Then he came closer.
The way they looked made Anthony's heart sink.
This is the most troublesome situation. The other party is not sure that this is a product of the Warlock Alliance, but he makes up this reason casually, obviously looking for trouble.
Sure enough, the other party took a look at the sugar and salt in the bag, his eyes immediately gleamed, and he shouted sternly: "Okay, you are so brave, you dare to sell the warlock alliance's products indiscriminately, who knows if there is anything deceptive in it.
Ingredients, come on, put all these things away."
The two skeleton knights from behind rushed up and grabbed the bag on the ground.
Fetty was a little angry and glanced at Anthony. Anthony shook his head slightly, there was no need to do anything, just take a small amount of money, don't go too far.
In the past, when Anthony was hanging out in the church, he had to be very good at eating cards, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hang out in the church.
These skeleton knights are obviously tainted with some secular habits, but it is normal. They are just skeleton knights, not skeletons. They are living people, so they naturally have various needs of living people.
The economy in the dead line is underdeveloped, and they live a miserable life. It can be seen from the white worn sleeves and collars that their economic conditions are very bad.
If it weren't for the fact that armor and bone horses were free of charge, they probably wouldn't be able to afford these equipment.
After taking back the two bags of salt and candy, the leader of the Skeleton Knight took a look, then looked up at Anthony with a trace of greed in his eyes. He looked past Anthony again and looked at the carriage and stone house behind.
Anthony sighed, why bother? You have to know how to eat cards in a measured way. Being greedy will only lead to nothing, but it is obvious that this skeleton knight is not satisfied with these two bags of things.
After seeing through the other party's psychology, Anthony took the initiative and shouted loudly: "Okay, okay, sir, you have confiscated all our goods. There is nothing left to sell. Let's disperse."
Anthony's voice woke up the crowd who were watching the show. Is there anything left to sell?
The people are always numb. Unless they receive corresponding education from an early age, they will ignore the matter and ignore it. Even if some people think this is not good, they will not come out to stop these skeleton knights.
Until Anthony yelled: "What? Nothing to sell? I haven't made my spiritual fire cake yet. No, no, no, you can't take away the candy."
"You can't take away the salt either. Our family is waiting for the Holy Fire Festival to do a big shopping spree. We need to buy enough salt for half a year. You can't take away the salt."
"That's right, there's only one merchant here, and after they take over we won't have anyone else to buy from."
This sound woke up the rest of the people. Yes, there was only one merchant. If it was taken away, there would be no place to buy anything.
This is not like the usual ones where they can choose from several stores. How can they celebrate the festival after taking away the items? Especially since these products are of good quality and not expensive, you won’t lose money no matter what you buy.
"No, no, you can't accept it. If you accept it, we won't be able to celebrate the festival. Let it go, let it go." Everyone gathered around.
Anthony's voice easily transformed the conflict between him and the Skeleton Knight into the conflict between the Skeleton and the people. Nigris was stunned: "Is this okay?"
Having aroused public outrage, the Skeleton Knight couldn't care less about Anthony, dropped his things and fled in panic.
Nigris quickly asked: "What should we do now?"
Anthony smiled and said: "Go back and try to lure the big snake out. If we can lure it out, how about we snatch the Holy Fire of the Dead?"
"Aren't you afraid of disturbing people?" Nigris asked.
"So we have to lure him out and take down the opponent in one round." At this point, Anthony turned to Ange and asked: "Sir, can you ask Wu Ga to take action? His true illusion is the most effective against the undead."
Ange nodded.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Ange summoned the stone house, and everyone led the carriage and walked back to the road.
Only then did Anthony realize that the little boy who had discovered them first was still with them, sitting on the shaft of the car eating candy, with his face covered in sugar water.
Seeing Anthony looking over, the little boy smiled broadly at him, revealing his mouth that was missing two front teeth.
Anthony looked at him angrily, came over, picked him up, and kicked him on the butt: "Let's go."
The kick was not heavy, and the little boy was not afraid. He staggered two steps, turned around and made a face, then ran back with a smile.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Ange and his entourage walked back for a while. On the way, Ange picked up Wuga and told it: "Wuga, Wuga, Gah—"
Wu Ga kept nodding his head as he heard this: "Wu Ga."
After getting ready, not long after, there was a sound of horse hooves behind me, and a powerful soul roared over: "Spies of the Warlock Alliance! Stop, I am Kent, the Saint of the Undead. As long as you surrender immediately, I can guarantee your safety."
Security of life and soul.”
Anthony knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. When those skeleton knights ran back, they would definitely not say that they wanted to steal the merchant's goods. They would only say that they had discovered a spy from the Warlock Alliance. This undead saint was
The fool caught up with him stupidly.
This is exactly what Anthony wants. Based on wrong information, the other party may not be too wary of a caravan and may easily rush in.
One thing about the undead is very troublesome. They have a lot of soul connections, and a thought can spread the news, so if the ambush doesn't work instantly, it will be easily exposed.
They came here to steal the bones. If an accident happened and Gust was on guard, it would be troublesome.
The others had already hid in the carriage, leaving only Anthony outside. When he heard the roar, he immediately gave a fake scream, abandoned the carriage, untied the black horse, and galloped away.
The action was so exaggerated that Dark Horse couldn't help but sneer: "It's so fake."
Although it was fake, the dark horse still cooperated with the performance and ran away wildly.
A group of skeleton knights caught up and chased Anthony. The remaining few came to the carriage surrounded by an undead.
The undead first scanned the carriage with his soul and found no danger. Then he asked the Skeleton Knight to open the carriage door. As soon as the carriage door opened, everyone was dumbfounded.
The carriage was packed with people. There were dragons, people, little girls, and scarecrows... Scarecrows? Wu Ga?
The one on the outermost side of the carriage was Wu Ga, and Ange behind him pressed his hand firmly on its shoulder. It wasn't until the moment the carriage door opened that Ange moved his hand.
Losing his restraints, Wu Ga jumped out.
A question flashed through Undead Kent's mind: Why can't my soul scan find these people? Oh, does Wuga have a real illusion? What a tragedy...
As soon as the thought flashed across his mind, Kent's soul fell into chaos.
