Looking at Nok walking over, the people in the caravan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Brother Nok, this is not good. Feimeng is also a member of our village, so just leave them here, in case something happens." If something goes wrong, it’s hard for us to explain!”
Hearing this, Nok sneered and glared at the man.
"If you feel bad, just stay with him, or go find Mr. Blue. I'm not the caravan leader, and it's not me who makes the decision. I just saw that he was unhappy and beat him up. I didn't The powers that be expel him from the caravan.”
"Besides, he has arms and legs, and the caravan is not moving very fast. If they really want to catch up, can Mr. Blue drive them away? But if they don't catch up on their own, you still plan to carry them away yourself? "
"Don't be stupid. We are all adults and have our own opinions. People may not appreciate your kindness. Just like I am trying to persuade you now, you may not listen to me. Let's go and make your own decisions. I I won’t accompany you anymore.”
"What Feimeng said is right. As an outsider, I have no business meddling in your business. I just need to protect Mr. Blue and let him take us out of this hellish place. Why should I care about you whether you are dead or alive?" care."
"Leo, stop dawdling, let's go. People may not appreciate it if you give me a break!"
"Here we come, Master!"
Leo, who had been pretending to be dull, ran up while holding back his laughter, and followed Nok towards the front of the team.
At the front of the team were all Blue's most loyal followers, people who had been following Blue for many years. I won't be provoked by Feimeng with just a few words.
The people in the middle of the team were the ones who were licking their faces and begging to join because they saw Blue getting rich. They didn't get any benefits. They were just outsiders and wavered.
On the contrary, this guy Feimeng, who had been doing business with Blue for two years, thought he was familiar with the business, knew the route, and knew how to run a business to make a profit, so he wanted to set up a new business. Eat the bulk yourself.
Because as the leader, you can get a 20% commission after the caravan members make their money!
He plans to organize a caravan himself and take 30% of the money.
Therefore, he does not want these people who have not done business to follow Blue. If they taste the benefits, they may not be willing to do business with him again.
That's why he entangled a few young people and promised to give them only 10% of their commission in the future in exchange for their support in setting up another business.
And this business trip is just to attract more people to join.
Unexpectedly, what he thought was a perfect excuse to attack was brutally destroyed by a boy named Nok.
Feimeng, who was riding a tiger and unable to get off, was in a dilemma at this time. He didn't know whether to get up and follow the large army, or to leave with his own people.
He knew the trade routes and was not afraid at all that he would not be able to find the way without the large army.
The country of France is divided into north and south parts by the Dokosom Mountains from west to east.
If you want to go from the north to the south, you need to cross the Dokosom Mountains.
But the only main route from the Dokosom Mountains to the south is a rift valley in the Dokosom Mountains. A fortress city was built in that rift valley. If you want to pass through the fortress, you not only need identification and pass documents, but also a fortress city. Customs clearance taxes also need to be paid.
Another way to go from the north to the south is to take a boat from the north of the Dokosom Mountains and go around the Atlantic Ocean to the south.
There is a town of Kagara in the westernmost north of the Dokosom Mountains, with regular boats to the south of Flan.
In the westernmost south of the Dokosom Mountains, there is a bustling village, which is the destination of the Kagara regular boat.
Therefore, although Bradis is a small village, the transportation industry in the village is very developed, and every household is either engaged in the carriage business or the hotel business.
Therefore, Bratis is a village famous throughout the country.
But Blue found a third shortcut to the south!
Taking advantage of the frozen distance of the river in winter, Blue found a north-south river in the grasslands north of the Dokosom Mountains.
This river is very dangerous in autumn and summer. Not only is the water fast, but there are also many giant pythons and strange water monsters in the river. Ships are impassable.
But in winter, the river is frozen, and the giant pythons in the river will disappear. Those water monsters don't know whether they have hibernated or migrated, but they have not appeared.
As long as you don't step on a weak spot in the river and fall into an ice cave, it's safe at other times.
It is precisely because of this that Bru will farm in spring, summer and autumn, and then start to prepare northern-specific products after the autumn harvest. After winter, he will take advantage of the cold winter and early spring to travel between the north and the south, selling goods that are inconvenient to transport due to heavy snow. , earn the price difference.
Now that Feimeng thinks he has mastered this business route, he naturally wants to make more.
He can sell different products from Blue to other cities and make more money.
Even if there is a chance, if Blue's caravan is killed, his caravan will be able to enjoy this benefit exclusively.
But all this turned out to be in vain, and he was unwilling to accept it.
Just when he was thinking wildly, three young men beside him suddenly shouted "Oh my God". Then chase towards the team.
"Assholes, you three traitors! Come back to me!"
Feimeng jumped up angrily, pointing at the backs of the three people and yelling curses. As he was cursing, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He turned around and saw that his whole body was suddenly cold. He wanted to open his mouth to shout for help, but white shadows penetrated crazily from his mouth, nose, and ears.
He was shaking like an epileptic, then fell with a thump into the snow.
As for the team moving forward, they originally became silent and uneasy because of Blue's sudden anger.
A scream frightened them.
"Help! The white ghost is coming!"
"Help us! We don't want to die!"
At the rear of the team, from a distance, the three young men from before could be seen chasing the team like crazy. Behind them, there were actually a group of white shadows floating!
"Damn it! It's really a white ghost!"
"The White Ghost is coming! Run!"
The team was in chaos, everyone was panicking, and some even pushed the person in front of them down just to let themselves run to the front.
Nok kicked a person who was trying to push him away and shouted: "What are you doing! If you want to run away, you won't run from the side! If anyone pushes someone again, I will break his legs and see how he pushes!"
Blue also discovered the commotion and rushed back.
But when he learned that there was a white ghost chasing him from behind, he panicked.
"Mr. Blue, there is only one option now. Let everyone drop their goods and escape with dry food and water. Otherwise, die!"
Nock made a sound suggestion to Blue.
"Yes! That's what you should do!" Blue quickly repeated Nok's words.
But Blue and Nock underestimated the greed of human nature.
What they are carrying is wealth that they cannot earn in a year, how can they throw it away.
People always think that they will be the lucky one and that they will definitely be able to escape with their goods.
Therefore, except for a few businessmen who were most loyal to Bru, others did not listen to Bru's advice at all.
"Forget it, it's hard to persuade the damn devil, Mr. Blue, we should go. Although we may not be able to outrun the white ghosts, we just need to outrun these greedy ghosts."
With that said, Nok patted Leo on the shoulder and said, "You haven't thrown away these burdens yet, and you still plan to carry them with you!"
Leo smiled naively, threw away the goods on his back, picked up an unknown person's water bag and dry food and stuffed them into his arms. He carried the ice armor shield on his back, then picked up Blue in one hand and ran forward in large strides.
Nok wordlessly imitated Leo and kicked down a guy who wanted money rather than his life, snatched his water bag and food, and then flew towards Leo.
At the same time, he did not forget to shout to the smart people who lost their goods: "Follow up quickly and ignore these people who want money! Don't get lost!"
After saying that, he ran away quickly.
Nok and Leo took the lead, and Blue, who was being carried, realized that the two of them had been pretending to be pigs and eating tigers!
Fortunately, their caravan didn't want to do anything dirty, otherwise, they might have finished the game before meeting the white ghost.
"Run that way!"
After realizing it, Blue couldn't care about others anymore. At the moment of life and death, people are selfish.
"Don't worry, those followers of yours are smart people and will follow our footsteps!"
Nok saw Blue's guilt and quickly comforted him.
When Blue heard this, he thought the same thing. As long as his few loyal followers were fine, his caravan could still be formed.
Anyway, they made a lot of money last winter. If they lose a batch of goods, it won't break their muscles and bones. They can afford the loss.
Besides, it’s not unprofitable to escape to the south and work to earn money to buy some goods back home, it’s just that you don’t earn that much.
Although we will definitely not be able to take this trade route by then, it is much cheaper to take the regular boat back to the north coast than to take the Broken Valley Fortress.
This is also the reason why the main cities of the Kingdom of France are located in the northeast and southeast. Otherwise, transportation in the west would be more convenient due to water transportation.
However, the freight from the west to the east will increase the cost, so the north would rather take the land route than water transportation. Two extra freight charges will greatly increase the cost.
With Blue guiding the way, Nok quickly left behind those behind him.
"That's the river over there, but it's early spring now. We'd better walk along the river to avoid the river being too weak. When we reach the break of the mountains, the section of river that needs to be passed is about three hundred meters on the river. We We must be careful. There are monsters sleeping due to hibernation at the bottom of the river. If we fall into the river and wake them up, we will basically be dead."
"Then how did you get through before?"
"We all made sleds by the river and rowed across them quietly, but now we definitely don't have the time, so we can only risk running over. After a while, I was put down, and we held hands and ran across the river. The thickness of the river was frozen The difference is, if something happens to one of them, the rest of us can still pull him up."
When Nok heard this, he could only do this.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the break where Blue said.
Sure enough, the snow on the shore seemed to have melted.
After all, the temperature in the south is higher than in the north, so it is not surprising that the ice and snow are melting.
Nok found some snow and made an arrow pointing to the river, indicating that they were heading south first.
As for whether the people behind can see it, they can only ask for their own blessings.
Just like that, the three of them stepped onto the frozen river hand in hand.
"Gala~"
There was an unusual sound from the river.
"No, Leo, you are too heavy, why don't you throw the shield away."
Blue suggested as he looked at the shield on Leo's back and the cracks under his feet.
Nok shook his head and refused: "No, I have a way. How could I forget it!"
Nok laughed mysteriously.
