What was outside the city was not an enemy attack, but the kobolds escorting a convoy back.
There are a total of more than 20 fully armed guards in the convoy. Judging from their well-equipped equipment, they should not be able to defeat the kobolds. Even if they cannot, they can escape without any problem!
So the only explanation is that they are not ready to fight!
Jia Zhengjin ordered the city gate to be opened and let the kobolds escort the convoy into the outer city. Then he took Alvin, Buddy, Wolf and Carl to face them head-on.
"Ouch~" the kobold leader howled loudly, asking Jia Zhengjin for credit.
"Okay! Get some meat tonight," Jia Zhengjin said to the kobold leader, "continue patrolling!"
The kobold leader let out an excited cry, and then led the kobold troops out of the city again.
As soon as the kobolds left, the curtain of the carriage at the front gently lifted, and a young man with a mustache jumped out.
The man with the mustache was wearing a black aristocratic coat, a dark red cloak behind him, a hat in the shape of an ingot on his head, and a long sword inlaid with gems at his waist. He walked over directly, glanced at it, and
Focusing on Jia Zhengjin: "Are you the owner of this city?"
"Oh? You can see that?" Jia Zhengjin asked with a smile.
"Of course! You have a unique temperament that makes you stand out at a glance!" Although the man with the mustache said this, he secretly thought, I am not a fool! These people all focus on you, and you are not the master here.
yes?
"Where are you from?" Jia Zhengjin asked curiously after taking a look at the mustache man.
"This is the envoy von Gerald Root sent by Duke Fellman, the lord of Sea Dragon City from the Principality of Hales. You can call me Feng, or you can call me Gerald! What should I call this lord?"
Man Hu asked respectfully.
"The Principality of Hales? Ah~ you are here for Natasha, right?" Jia Zhengjin laughed, "My name is Keen, and I am the owner of this place!"
"Lord Keen!" The man with the mustache bent down and saluted, "I heard that the duchess was left here by your lord, and your lord the duke asked me to make a special trip to invite the lady back home!"
"Wait a minute, where are my people?" Jia Zhengjin looked at him and asked.
"Lord Keen! Your envoy, Mr. Rabbi, encountered a group of bandits looting the village on the way. He asked us to come over first and lead his troops to attack the bandits! Maybe we can catch up soon!" The man with a mustache
replied.
"Oh? In that case, why don't you help?" Jia Zhengjin asked doubtfully, frowning slightly at the same time, doubting the authenticity of his words.
"Reporting to Mr. Keen," the man with the mustache explained hurriedly, "the carriage is full of precious items, and there cannot be any mistakes! So our first priority is to deliver the carriage here safely!"
"Oh? It seems that Duke Fairman is quite sensible!" Jia Zhengjin immediately walked towards the carriage, "Your Duchess lied to me and said that Hailongcheng had no money. She was really bluffing me! This delivery is full of six
A gold coin for a carriage is obviously very rich!"
"Lord Keen misunderstood!" The man with the mustache hurriedly explained, "We in Hailong City really can't afford so many gold coins, so... so here are actually some goods with the same price. Please show your respect, Sir Keen."
, can let our Duchess go!"
"Goods? What do I want goods for?" Jia Zhengjin was unhappy when he heard this, "Gold coins! What I want are gold coins!"
"Lord Keen," the man with the mustache said with a grimace, "Now Hailong City really can't get any more gold coins! What you robbed...oh, no! It's the ones you took from the Duchess.
, it was originally a relief fund for our city!”
"Do you think I'm a fool? It's obviously used to buy arms." Jia Zhengjin said coldly.
The man with the mustache was stunned for a moment, and then apologized hurriedly: "Yes, yes! Mr. Keen knows everything!" He cursed secretly in his heart, which secret was leaked?
"Do these six carriages really have not a single gold coin?" Jia Zhengjin glanced at them suspiciously.
The man with the mustache said hurriedly: "Counting the change in all of our pockets, it's only seven or eight gold coins!"
"Damn!" Jia Zhengjin was not happy when he heard this. "There is no sincerity at all. It is impossible for the duchess to return it to you! Leave here immediately and go back and ask your duke to prepare the money! Otherwise, half
Just wait to collect the body of the Duchess in a few months!"
The mustached man's face changed drastically when he heard this. He didn't know that Jia Zhengjin was bluffing. So he hurriedly begged: "Master Kean, the Duchess is the most important partner in this life for Duke Fellman. You must not hurt her.
! We in Hailong City really can’t get gold coins at the moment because we just ordered a batch of high-quality battle armors some time ago. But we did bring expensive items with the same value as gold coins. We also asked Lord Keen to inspect the goods before making a decision.
!”
"Equal to gold coins?" Jia Zhengjin looked at him carefully, "What exactly is it? What I don't lack most here is something equal to gold coins!"
"Lord Keen, this is a unique resource that only we, Hailong City, have!" The man with a mustache hurriedly led him to the front of the first carriage and gently opened the curtain.
Jia Zhengjin looked over and was suddenly shocked.
Inside the carriage, there were two stunning girls with peerless looks who looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, huddled together. Both girls were wearing beautiful long skirts embroidered with green leaf patterns, and their body proportions were perfect! The girl on the left had silver hair.
She has short hair and exudes a holy feeling. The girl on the right has waist-length black hair. She is a little less elegant than the silver-haired girl, but she is still a beautiful girl like no other.
Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and the two stunning girls showed extremely frightened expressions on their faces. They buried their faces in each other's chests, as if they didn't want others to see their stunning looks.
Jia Zhengjin's expression suddenly became a little strange, because he saw the two girls' ears that were different from humans, pointed and long.
"Elf?" He looked at the man with the mustache in astonishment.
"Yes!" The man with the mustache took Jia Zhengjin to the carriages at the back to check them one by one. Each carriage had two stunning young girls, a total of twelve people, twelve elf girls! He saw Jia Zhengjin...
With a dull expression on his face, he said proudly, "These are all caught recently. It can be guaranteed that no one has ever touched them. They are the purest elves! If they were auctioned in other countries, they would definitely exceed the ransom amount required by Lord Keen!"
This is the sincerity of our Lord Duke. We also ask Lord Keen to release the Duchess. We, Sea Dragon City, are willing to establish an unbreakable friendship with you!"
