Chapter 344： Chance encounter

It's dawn.

The rising sun sprinkled soft morning light through the dense clouds, and the waves of mist shrouded the mountains and forests.

A large-scale business team is walking on the forest path in the morning dew.

In front of the team, a flag embroidered with tulips was waving in the wind.

After a rugged road, the axle creaked in the bumps, and the carriage curtain suddenly opened, revealing a round and fat face.

"Master Oliver, what's your order?"

A mercenary guarding by the carriage asked with a smile.

Oliver carefully looked at the narrow path ahead, frowning and asked: "How did you choose this path?"

"My lord, although this road is a little harder to walk, the distance is shorter. It is estimated that you will be able to reach Swan City in three days."

Oliver still seemed to be calm, and asked: "Where is your head?"

"The captain is in front..." The mercenary was talking, and suddenly saw a figure walking quickly towards him, and immediately said, "My lord, the captain is just here."

Oliver turned his head and saw that the bearded Captain Jack had reached the carriage.

The head of the mercenary regiment frowned and looked worried.

"Master Oliver, I just got news that something went wrong in Swan City!"

"What?" Oliver's heart suddenly changed, his face changed in an instant, and he asked quickly, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that Lord Schultz's husband Lucien murdered Bishop John and is now being hunted down by the army!"

"How could this be? Why did Lucian murder Bishop John?"

"do not know."

"Then can we still enter Swan City?"

"It should be possible. Swan City is not blocked. However, I advise you to think twice. After all, Swan City is not peaceful now."

Oliver furrowed his brows, his entire fat face squeezed together in sorrow, and he was fighting between heaven and man in his heart.

Upon seeing this, Captain Jack provided another piece of news: "In addition, I heard that Viscount Anglia is now in Swan City, and it is he who exposed Lucien's crimes."

"Viscount Angele is also in the city?" Oliver was suddenly lifted up, as if the name had a peculiar magical power.

"Yes." Head Jack nodded, and then tentatively said, "I heard that you have dealt with Lord Viscount before. Is this true?"

Oliver straightened his chest suddenly, his face glowed with infinite glory, and he boasted loudly:

"Of course it's true! I think we knew each other before the Viscount Lord had inherited the title, and we slept in a tent and went to the battlefield together..."

Just as Oliver was spitting and flying, and was about to brag about his prosperous years with Viscount Anglia to the mercenary captain in front of him, the earth suddenly began to tremble slightly.

"Earthquake?" Oliver asked stupidly.

But it didn't take long for the earth to vibrate more and more severely, and even the blades of grass shook violently.

Wow...

Like a rolling spring thunder blasting the earth, and like a turbulent flood, the broken sand and stones on the earth danced, as if being picked up and put down by an invisible big hand, from a high altitude, it seemed to be boiling. The water is boiling.

"It's a cavalry..." Head Jack pointed forward with trembling fingers, his voice changed.

Countless black shadows instantly appeared on the horizon in front of them, squeezing the sky and the earth.

Densely packed cavalry rushed in like a tornado like a tornado, crushing the gravel and withered grass on the ground.

Oliver and his party seemed silly, shivering in the same place, completely at a loss.

It is impossible to run, you can only pray silently in your heart, this terrible cavalry is not an enemy.

"It's the blood cavalry!"

I don't know who saw the blood-colored flag fluttering in the wind, and immediately roared.

When Oliver heard the words, his eyes glowed, and he ran out of the carriage rolling, watching a group of cavalry squadrons galloping toward him, and shouted hoarsely:

"We are the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, the Tulip Chamber of Commerce! I recognize Lord Anglia..."

Before long, a blood cavalry squad of cavalry came in front of Oliver. The officer headed by him sat high on his horse, staring at Oliver coldly through the holes in the armor, and his whole body exuded a strong momentum. Let the entire caravan be silent.

"What's your name?"

"I...I'm Oliver, the president of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce...Is Viscount Angele in front?"

The blood cavalry officer nodded and said, "Come with me, Lord Viscount wants to see you."

Oliver lifted his spirits and quickly ordered his men to bring a cart with a horse, and then moved his fat body to awkwardly climb up.

Seeing his difficult appearance, the officer waited impatiently, and stepped forward and grabbed Oliver by the collar. In his exclamation, he lifted him horizontally on the back of his horse, and then urged the horse. Toward the direction of the blood cavalry force.

By the time Oliver came to Colin, he was almost out of breath by the bumps.

"Viscount Anglia...Oh..."

After dismounting, the guy vomited, and then greeted Colin feebly.

Colin looked at this familiar fat face, asked the attendant to pass the pot of water over, and asked with a smile, "Oliver, I heard that you are now the president of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce?"

Oliver took a sip of water and finally eased up, and quickly replied: "Yes, Master Viscount. After Ms. Penny died, I was spotted by Earl Uman and took over the Tulip Chamber of Commerce."

The Earl of Uman in Oliver's mouth is Varla.

Of course, this appointment was actually approved by Colin. He had a good impression of the fat businessman. After taking control of the Uman family through Varla, he signaled that the other party would push Oliver to the position of president of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce.

Subsequently, the obedient and sensible Oliver, under the instructions of Valla, began to clean up the remnants of the Saint Theon family in the Tulip Chamber of Commerce. The progress is said to be fairly smooth.

"You are going to Swan City?"

"Yes, sir." Oliver's small eyes rolled and asked, "I heard that the situation in Swan City is a bit chaotic now. I don't know if our trip will be..."

"Don't worry." Colin waved his hand, comforting, "The Schultz family has stabilized the situation, you will have no problems going there."

"That's good." Oliver breathed a sigh of relief. He had an inexplicable trust in Colin.

Colin looked at this old acquaintance, and suddenly asked: "I heard that the major merchants in the northern border are preparing to unite and form a northern merchants federation?"

"Yes, sir." Oliver glanced at Colin's face and replied carefully, "Our Tulip Chamber of Commerce is also preparing to join this Northern Merchants Association. Earl Uman also knows about this, and agrees."

Colin nodded, and said, "Who is the president of this merchants' federation?"

"My lord, the choice of the president has not yet been decided, but we plan to hold a plenary meeting at the end of this month to decide the president."

Colin touched his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, he spoke again: "Oliver, do you want to be the president of this Northern Merchants Federation?"

Oliver's whole body was trembling and he didn't know if it was because of nervousness or excitement.

After hesitating for a while, he gave a slick answer: "I will listen to your instructions!"

Colin smiled faintly, without commenting on Oliver's answer, and instead said:

"You help me spread a message to tell the major merchants and chambers of commerce in the north that the Saint Hild family is ready to borrow to tide over the current difficulties, and the amount of borrowing is extremely large, so that interested merchants will come to the winter before the end of the month. city."

"Yes!" Oliver quickly agreed.

It's just that Colin didn't mention the matter of making him the president of the Merchants Association before. Oliver was itching, but he didn't dare to ask about it.

"Well, go to Swan City by yourself, remember to meet me in Wintery City at the end of the month."

"Yes, my lord!"

Afterwards, Colin gripped his horse's belly lightly, and in the eyes of Oliver, he merged into the blood cavalry force and headed north.
