Lord of Riding and Slashing

The market in Christenburg is not small, because it is the nearest town to the Amon Mountains. Although the Amon Mountains are dangerous, there are still some caravans who want to use these materials, such as wood, stone, fur, medicinal materials, etc. resources are still abundant.

It's a pity that the commercial atmosphere of the Principality of Besse is not strong, the terrain is uneven, the roads are not developed, and there are robbers hidden in the mountains. Therefore, although the Amon Mountains are rich in products, the economy here is not developed, and even the civilians living here have difficulty surviving.

If it were replaced by the Seaman Kingdom with a strong commercial atmosphere, Christenburg would have developed into a big city long ago, instead of just a dilapidated small castle as it is now.

It is said that although the Seaman Kingdom has a prosperous economy and abundant food, it suffered a complete defeat in the battle with the Principality of Bethel last year. Although the Principality of Besse is poor, the people of Besse are generally tall and have a tough temperament. In the early stage of the war, the Seaman Kingdom was able to rely on its excellent equipment and sufficient national power to hold a stalemate with the Principality of Besse, but when it came time to really desperately fight, the Seaman people suffered a crushing defeat, not only suffered heavy casualties, but also lost the rich land of the Hilo Plain. These lands are the places that the Dukes of Besse have dreamed of.

Even Nord's cheap father was honored by this victory. To celebrate the victory, Grand Duke Besse rewarded him generously, which is why Nord has the title of Viscount. Having said so much, the Besse people can be regarded as a fighting nation, with the strength and tenacity of the mountains flowing through them.

But it’s not good for business. It’s already noon, and there are not many people in the market. There are few customers in the surrounding shops. You can only see shop assistants carrying goods into the shop, or people carrying furs on their backs. Sold to caravans.

After entering the market, Marko began to complain to Nord.

"Those doglegs who guard the gate shake their heads and tails when they see their masters. They bully the weak and fear the strong. Before our village came to sell furs, we were often exploited by them. We couldn't make any money at all. Then we stopped selling here. When will a caravan enter the village again? Sell ​​it to them, but the quality of the fur preserved in this way is not very good, and it cannot be sold at a good price.”

"Oh? There's also this matter. Why didn't you say it just now? I'll go and get justice for you!"

"Thank you, my lord. I don't want to cause you trouble. If you don't buy the fur, we will use it ourselves. We can't delay your business."

"From now on, you will be my guards. If they dare to stop you again, report my name. Are you familiar with the caravan in the market?"

Marco was very moved when he heard it, but when asked about caravans, Marco turned his attention to Lehman. After the village head Colin got older, it was Lehman who dealt with these caravans.

After hearing this question, Lehman thought for a moment, raised his head, pointed to a shop in the distance and replied.

"Our village is remote, and there are not many caravans in a year or so. I am most familiar with Love's caravan, but they are in the fur business. There is only one grain store in the town, which is not far in front, because Grain is relatively precious, and I heard that it is monopolized by Viscount Krissen, and other caravans must sell the grain to the Krissen family, otherwise the caravans will not be able to enter the market."

Nord looked in the direction of Lehman's finger, and there was indeed a shop in the distance that was different from other shops. The shops in the Christenburg market were not so much shops as warehouses, and the caravans regarded it as a The people here are generally relatively poor, and the only grain store with oil and water is monopolized by the Krissen family, so most of the caravans who come here come here to buy goods.

Carry food from outside and sell it to the Krissen family, and then buy goods at low prices from around Fort Christen and ship them out. The profits are basically divided between the caravan and the Krissen family. No wonder the people here rely on the materially rich Amon Mountains, life is still so hard.

Nord thought so in his heart, but he still walked to the grain store of the Krissen family, which was the only source of grain in the market, so he had to go in first to see the situation.

When I came to the door of the grain store, I looked up and saw that the grain store was indeed better built than other stores. The signboard outside the door clearly displayed the coat of arms flag of the Collison family and the image of a charging wild boar.

It is said that the ancestors of the Krissen family rescued the Marquis of Tewen from under the head of a charging wild boar by chance, and then followed the marquis in charging into battle. When conferring the title, they chose the charging wild boar as The coat of arms of his own family, expressing his loyalty to the Marquis of Tewen.

Nuode found that although the grain store was well built, the front of the store was empty. He didn't see a customer enter the store to buy grain for a while. With doubts in his heart, Nuode walked into the grain store.

After stepping into the door, Nord looked around. The middle of the grain store was partitioned by wooden boards, and there might be a granary behind. There was a counter in front of the shop, and around the counter were scattered bags of wheat. The owner of the shop was lying listlessly on the counter, and there were two guards sitting in the corner.

Nord signaled Abel to talk to the steward of the grain store, but he himself led the crowd but had no intention of going forward.

Seeing a group of strangers entering the grain store, they didn't look like ordinary people who came to buy grain, and the middle-aged man walking towards him was somewhat similar to the butler in the castle. Harry called two guards and turned to greet them. Uninvited guests.

"I'm Harry, the steward of the Krissen grain store. This is the property of the Krissen family. Are you planning to buy grain?"

"That's right, we're here to buy food."

Abel smiled and waved behind him to introduce him, then turned his head to look at Harry.

"This is Viscount Nord Isaac. I am Abel, Lord Viscount's steward. Lord Nord plans to buy a large amount of grain. I wonder if your grain store has it."

Hearing what Abel said, Harry showed an ugly smile on his face. He didn't expect these people to be nobles like his master. It doesn't matter if you buy a small amount of food. With a little luck, I hope to hear that Abel only buys a few days' rations.

"There is... there is food, how much Lord Nord needs?"

"At least two thousand catties of wheat!"

Harry's face became even uglier when he heard Nord's answer. Harry knew in his heart that the grain store would never sell so much grain, but the people in front of him were not as easy to deal with as those untouchables, and they accidentally offended the nobleman , I am afraid that my own life will not be guaranteed. Harry forced a smile on his face, and cautiously said to Butler Abel.

"With so much food, the villain really can't make the decision. You need to inform the adults in the castle to make a decision. Can you wait for a while."

After speaking, Harry quickly ordered the two guards to go to the castle to inform the butler and the master.

Abel described the situation just now, and Nord nodded. He was already prepared for the current situation, so he waited patiently for the arrival of the Krissen family.

Seeing Nord and the others waiting quietly without any intention of making trouble, Harry calmed down from his anxiety, and then ordered the staff behind him to take out two chairs.

"Master Nord, please rest for a while, they will arrive later."

Nord nodded, and Harry stood aside after seeing it, bowed his head, with a respectful look, and said no more.
