Vol 3 Chapter 207

Act 207 Eyeliner and Intelligence

The four seasons in the Black Forest are changing violently. However, under the baron fir tree, the severe winter of the year of the sword has just passed, and the temperature has not shown signs of recovery. There were two heavy snowfalls before and after the Sleeping Moon, but it seemed to have faintly foreshadowed the first harvest of the territory. The streets are still cold and windy, and there are few pedestrians, but the only bar in the city is a different scene. The stove reflects the warmth of the hall, and the adventurers wandering around the fir-tree collar have gathered here since the late summer. Here, wait for the snow and ice to melt in the forest.

It's just that every adventurer entering this hotel, apart from taking off the cloak covered with snow, after taking a look at the entire hall, without exception, he will take off his cap and go far to a small person sitting in the corner of the hall. The girl pays tribute. The little girl's forehead was very high, smooth as jade, glittering in the light of fire, her eyes were big, she seemed a little smart, and she was curious about the people and things around her. She wore a beautiful dress and long dress. Although she was not very old, her chest lining had begun to grow. The skirt gathered at the waist and perfectly set off the young lady's slim figure— —It's just that the skirt full of the noble girl's temperament doesn't match her, but some thieves look like they are wearing clothes stolen from where.

"Sister's head, this is the deer skin you want. The forest is completely frozen, but it took us nine cows and two tigers to track down a deer herd. Hatto also suffered a bit of frostbite. You ca n’t pay too much. Overkill— "Several people dressed as hunters stood in front of her and negotiated. One headed by a mountain man apparently from the nearby area, wearing a thick leather coat and carrying a long bow.

"Oh, has Harto been frostbite, then he is really unlucky," Roman blinked and asked curiously, "Is there no more herds in the forest?"

"It's not because the cavemen were alive, they scared the animals out of hiding."

"Well, I heard that the caveman stopped before it snowed."

"Then ... it's a bit related anyway."

"I'm going to make a coat for Brando for these buckskins, shall I pay you two hundred silver coins?" Roman pointed out his fingers and poked the buckskin carefully and asked, looking up.

"Of course we are happy to help the lord to make a coat, so the lord will definitely prefer the older sister to you," said the man with a clear disbelief that the lady in front could make a coat. Look, but complimented: "But it's too little, Sister, Harto was frostbite."

"But this is obviously the deerskin of last year. You can see that some places have been moth-eaten." Miss Shang *** raised her deer skin innocently.

"Ah-?" The big business man stunned these dumbs at a sip. The adventurers immediately showed an embarrassing look and coughed, "The year is not that important, and besides, we have actually been in the forest, and Harto was really frostbite."

"So, these buckskins can't be worth so much money, you know. The rest is Harto's medical expenses. Don't turn around and lose to Mano the gambler, tomorrow I will But someone is going to visit Hatto. "She glanced at them:" If he didn't receive the money, I'll send the caveman to eat you. "

After being counted, a few hunters honestly collected the money and left. Although the young lady was not stunned, they did not have much dissatisfaction on their faces, as if they were used to such bargaining. Instead, Roman touched the round-toe leather shoes under the hem of his long dress, with a pair of big eyes twitching as if he had never stopped. She looked around, holding a glass of steaming barley beer as if someone was waiting.

Throughout the winter, the self-proclaimed young lady has been sitting in this position, working here or buying people's hearts. However, it is not unreasonable for her to be respected here. It is not only because she is the fiancee of the lord, or who controls half of the wealth of the territory is a **** of wealth in the eyes of everyone. But because of her kindness, she would never use her identity to oppress others, and she was even willing to take care of the afternoon for the price of several bronzes and adventurers.

But it is because of this that people will not feel the difference in status-the adventurer's life is not rich, and money is very important. In fact, they do not think much of those who splurge on money. Of all Brando's partners and aides, in fact, only Roman and Freya can understand this.

Freya is because of her own origin, but Romans instinctively likes those bright little things. One winter, she has dealt with many adventurers in Firth City and has been integrated into them. Although this connection is not close, it is enough for Romain to hear a lot of news that was originally unknown.

At this time the door of the bar was pushed open again, and there was a silence there. The little elf princess, Metis, was standing in the snow. She was wearing a plain silver fur shawl, covered her mouth with her hands, took a sigh of relief, and looked at the hall with so many people a little nervously. Humans are a bit strange to her. The elves don't want so many people to get together. The elves' definition of friends places more emphasis on a kind of spiritual attachment. Due to the long time, this feeling is somewhat indifferent to humans .

But this is not the first time she has come here. She is here to help the lord's servant Mage Shir. Everyone else in the bar saw the silver elf princess very tacitly and gave way. I remember the first time someone teased her with two sentences, but she almost made the sharp-eared girl red-eared. Blushing.

As a result, the rumor of Lord Lord's shy second fiancee spread like that, and when thinking of this, Meditha couldn't help but stare at Romance.

"Madissa, do you want ale?"

"No!"

"What about fruit wine?"

"No!"

"Then shall I give me a cup of mead?"

"No!"

Medina knew that Romain didn't drink, she was holding a cup of hot ale purely for the sake of warmth. And this guy even shuddered that she never wanted to change a glass, and reheated it when it was cold. If she could, she would definitely continue the next day. But it is such a shy guy that may be able to arrange all expenditure income in the territory only in an orderly manner, anyway, Metisha herself felt a headache when she saw the piles of gold and silver currencies that were meaningless to her.

The territory was gradually on the right track, and coins from the silver mines were continuously delivered to Roman. The Miss Shang *** distributed the money to the refugees. Of course, this is not a charity event. The result is that for the first time in almost half a century, the fir territory has opened up a lot of wasteland in the forests north of the Gris River. Winter wheat seeds have been sown. Fall asleep and wait for the snow and ice to melt away.

Shire and Master Craftsman discussed to receive more war refugees from the north, and the construction of roads in the Black Forest is progressing slowly. The population of Fir collar is not large, even if Grisport and Minsborough move Of residents are far from meeting their needs. Not to mention that the troops of the White Lion Corps have not been settled, even the workers who built the city of the Rune Dwarf Odum can't find the slightest.

Grain is the foundation of this plan, but Miss Merchant showed more maturity and calmness than anyone's best expectations—as Charles said, she seemed to have a natural talent in cargo science. Glittering, this is an innate leadership style, making her calm and organized all this.

The food from Ampelsel was shipped here, but Roman did not release it directly. Instead, it was handed over to the merchants, and the money previously released was recovered in this way, so I don't know how many years later, the food market was rebuilt in the fir city in the middle of the winter of this year-since the short-sighted Gruddin will Everything is in its own right.

Romain has begun to consider relaxing the pay for the next recruitment. Brando needs more people, and she wants to make such a situation. The food problem was not a problem to her at all. As long as the gold of the fir collar was shining, the merchants of Ampelsel would swarm like sharks smelling blood. As a matter of fact, they are here now. The first merchant fleet is not large, but the food and daily necessities are being unloaded at the port of Gries. It doesn't matter, it will be more and more.

Gold attracts not only merchants, but also fugitives from other territories. The free-flowing currency is delicious and sweeter than the cake. This is what my aunt said, and the merchant lady is very determined.

She put away the report that Meditis transmitted to Shire, and opened her eyes and asked, "What about Brando, Medisa?"

"Lord Lord, he hasn't returned yet."

"Then I'll talk to him."

"Don't." Matissa immediately refused, and it was not the first time Roman had used her as a microphone. She immediately explained: "Master Lord has been in contact with him since he entered the ring of trade winds. . "

"Ah-" Roman exclaimed a long, disappointed sigh. "Is there anything else for that guy, Shire?"

"Well, he just wanted to ask you what you planned to spend so much money on to hire adventurers to complete some weird tasks." The silver elf princess glanced at the pile of buckskin on the table, couldn't help it Live a little doubt if this guy is purely for fun. However, this idea is just a flash between the essence of this Miss Shang ***. As an elf princess, Metisha has a very weak idea of ​​property. If Akane or more serious Freya is here, I am afraid It was about to stare at the young lady with a skeptical look.

"Ah, Roman is about to say this," Miss Merchant looked surprised. "There are no more herds in the forest. Do you know why, Medisa?"

As an elf prince from the era of the Holy War, trained as a silver elven commander, and with rich experience in warfare, when Medicia heard Roman's words, her face became serious.

Animals in the forest will not disappear for no reason.

This only shows one problem, the opposite side has already begun to act. She couldn't help looking at Roman, only to understand that the other was listening to the news, "You still know something, Roman."

"Some adventurers have mentioned that the recent nearby movements have become more frequent. I think it's the bad guys from Butch who have arrived. Brando said that they are near here, right?"

Madara-

...
