On September 29, on the third floor of Albaidi’s Camel Daddy Tavern, Albaidi tyrant Shahman al-Dulaziz sat in front of his favorite tea table.
Shahman has been in a very bad mood these past two days. The impact of the royal army's march south is far greater than he imagined, and has even threatened Abadi's normal business operations.
The camps of various tribes are crowded on the main roads, which affects the commercial transportation in the basin; the continuous army requires a large amount of food, magic plants, and medicine, which raises local prices and affects the consumer confidence of each tribe.
What's even more troublesome is that the orcs have blocked the eastern outlet of the basin, the Iowa Valley, and detained many Yeqi City magic products from many caravans. Many tribes have used deposits to pre-order moisturizing creams, magic potions, and magic pattern plates. , magic wine and other products, once the logistics is paralyzed and the goods cannot be delivered on time, the reputation of the Dulaziz family will be completely bankrupt.
But among so many bad things, there are always more troublesome ones, such as the lady in front of Mr. Schachman: Jenny Galloping Horse.
At this moment, the Jenny in front of Father Camel was dressed as an orc, with a sign from the Temple of Life hanging around her waist. In addition, she had just grown up and was shorter than a normal high-level demon possessor. It was completely impossible to tell that she was a high-level water mage. .
However, it was such a girl with cunning and aggressive eyes, which made Shahman, who had been experienced in business wars, a little unsure.
After the tea was brewed, Shahman brought a cup to Jenny and said with a smile: "Miss Jenny, it's hard to imagine that you can come to Albaidi under such difficult conditions. I wonder who you represent when you come here this time?"
"Of course it's the Galloping Horse family," Jenny said with a smile as she respectfully finished Old Luotuo's tea, "Except for the Galloping Horse family outside the local area."
"Then I'm afraid we have nothing to talk about. The attitude of the royal court and the local orcs towards the west of the Iowa Valley is very clear. The entire orcs will work together to take Iowa directly.
I don’t think the orcs’ actions will be different because of your arrival, nor do I think the royal court will cooperate with the Fiat family to deal with Lant Galloping Horse. "
"I'm afraid you misunderstood. There has never been any conflict between the Fiat family and Ye Qicheng. What you heard before was just the smoke emitted by the royal court." When Jenny spoke, she still used a melodious tone close to that of the mermaid clan, and stared straight at her. Holding an old camel.
"It's you, you said that the Royal Court and the local orc tribe work together, but I heard that many of the actions of the Royal Court this time are directed at Abadi. After all, this commercial capital does not produce magic products. , and they don’t grow food or magic plants. The large population has no support, which can be used as a force to attack the Iowa Valley!"
"Abaidi hasn't seen any storms in thousands of years! 300 years ago, Wang Ting and Ye Qicheng fought for several years, didn't they survive?" Of course, Old Luotuo knew that Jenny was telling the truth, but he didn't want to Being given the upper hand by the girl in front of him, he could only shout slogans in an attempt to cover up his predicament.
"Of course, but at that time, the Royal Court was to deal with Ye Qicheng," Jenny nodded obediently and said with a smile, "But today, the various methods of the Royal Court are really to occupy such a meaningless place as the Galloping Horse Plains. A place of turbulence?"
"The Royal Court's goal is Hindukel. You know this better than me. Otherwise, why would only 20% of the Royal Court's team be stationed near the Iowa Pass, and the rest are stationed outside major city-states? When I came here, I saw that the entrance to your warehouse outside the city was surrounded by the royal court’s troops!”
Jenny's words suddenly alerted Old Luotuo. His warehouse outside the city is located on a sandbank at the junction of two rivers. It is surrounded by rivers and reeds. Ordinary people walking overland would not be able to notice it. If the royal court hadn't invited the harpies to come, It was also impossible to discover his warehouse.
Thinking of this, the old camel smiled and said: "I have long heard that Ms. Jenny has a special passage in the basin. It seems that you are very familiar with the River Clan?"
"It's not just the River Clan, there's also the Sea Beast Clan!" After saying that, Jenny took out a long tooth and handed it to the old camel, "Actually, I'm here just to solve your problem. I can use Ben Mahe serves as your transportation channel to help your goods flow smoothly throughout the basin, and it can also replenish Yeqi City's supply of goods for you!"
Looking at the ivory inlaid with the emblem of Brejak City, the old camel couldn't imagine why the sea beast tribe, which was as powerful as the sea god, would actually give Jenny a passage. However, Jenny's proposal was indeed his best way out now.
"How much profit do you want...?"
"About 20%. The main cost here is the transportation team of the Sea Tribe and the River Tribe. In addition, I will set up a transit warehouse in the north. You can also store the goods there in the future. I only charge you normal custody. Cost!" As she spoke, Jenny handed Lao Luotuo a note with a very clear quotation.
"Transit warehouse? Where is it? How could you find..." It was hard for Old Luotuo to imagine where Jenny, who came from out of town, could find a foothold. However, after placing the order, the price quoted above was indeed very attractive.
While Lao Luotuo was still looking at the quotation, Jenny whispered, "My purpose is actually very simple, that is, I hope that Abadi can continue to prosper, which is most beneficial to Hindukel and the Benma Plain." !”
Shahman Dureziz and Jenny Benma looked at each other, nodded to each other, and both of them added the next sentence in their hearts: "Although it is the most disadvantageous for the Royal Court!"
…
An hour later, with a proud smile, Jenny slowly walked out of the courtyard gate of Papa Camel's Tavern, quietly turned into a path, and jumped into a small river when no one was around.
Countless bubbles gathered in the water to form a larger bubble, which completely contained Jenny. The girl's precious robe would not get wet or dirty in the bubble.
A monster finless porpoise swam up to Jenny and watched as the girl took out a small device and made a friendly sound to it.
In Hindukel, a land crisscrossed by rivers, a water mage who is friendly to the river tribe can go anywhere, such as the ruins of Moge Fort north of Meiyan City.
In two hours, the finless porpoise pushed Jenny's bubble through countless underground rivers and thickets of water. The girl was not even sure whether she could swim under the river for such a long time if the finless porpoise did not enter her bubble to breathe.
Finally, she saw a bright light on the water above her head, which seemed to be a large cave. When she was pushed up to the water by the finless porpoise, she found herself in a huge artificial cave. The surrounding rock walls were filled with extremely unfamiliar magic circles. , the rows of lighting rune bars above the head are completely illuminated above and below the water.
Jenny looked around, unable to imagine that there was such a large underground river mouth in Hindukel, and subconsciously asked: "This? Where is it?"
"This used to be the underground ruins of a goblin civilization, and it will become a new city-state in the future!" A gentle voice reached the girl's ears. She was a plump woman with her upper body exposed in the water. She was stroking the girl just now. The finless porpoise accompanying Jenny answered the girl's questions with a smile.
