Chapter 7 Caravans
Chapter 7 Caravan
"Dingling~Dingling~" a pleasant ringtone came, and a long caravan accompanied it.
The Dragon Fort is located at the northern end of the mainland, with a very cold climate, so even food cannot be completely self-sufficient. In order to maintain the supply of the town and the various items needed by the residents of the town, some caravan trading is essential.
And with the size of the town and the financial resources of the local lord Viscount Cape, there is no ability to organize a caravan by himself - of course there is no need.
About every two months every year, caravans will come to the door and stay for several days to organize transactions. This is not only true for the Dragon Flying Fort, but also for most small towns throughout the Northland province.
Although the town is remote, it is not too poor. As soon as the Warcraft Mountains are approaching, are there adventurers coming? The residents of various consumer towns will not be too polite. In addition, although the local grain production is very low, it produces several herbs that must be vigorously grown in cold areas. Therefore, residents of the town can spend some money to buy what they like.
Whenever the caravan arrives, a lively market-like scene will be formed.
"Give good linen, three meters a gold coin!"
"The condiments shipped from the Magnolia Empire - they are all shining after cooking."
"Honey honey! Sweet honey!"
"The fine weapons created by the weapon refiner include three styles: war knife, long sword and axe, which are most suitable for brave warriors."
Women are very fond of all kinds of household goods. After all, most small towns in Beidi are short of everything. Should they buy some cloth to make clothes for their children? Or do they buy some condiments to make the food more delicious; while the men in the Dragon Castle are more focused on the exquisite weapons. The martial style in the North is even more serious than elsewhere. In addition to the disabled and children, any man in the Dragon Castle is a first-class warrior. In fact, even disability cannot be underestimated. It is said that the lame old man Semowang, who lives in the Dragon Castle, is a very powerful warrior-but the price of weapons is quite expensive. On average, a fine warrior costs fifty or sixty gold coins. Of course, the local ironsmith makes it, except for the kind that is not much better than farm tools.
As the deputy captain of the Dragon Fallen Guard, Andy is a level 6 warrior. He does not need to pay attention to decency like some little nobles in his daily life, so he naturally has a lot of spare money.
"Linda, can we buy a new weapon?" The man who was usually very powerful asked his wife very gently--It's okay to be gentle, he doesn't have much private money.
She usually has no objection to Andy's wife who is very strict with drinking. She knows very well what a fine weapon means to the warrior.
While Andy and Linda were carefully picking at the stall where weapons were selling, their adopted son Wright was holding his sister Tina and going to another vendor.
It’s not that the couple is careless. Although Tina is only four years old and Wright is only eight years old, although Wright is young, she is very precocious and can keep up with the 14 or 15-year-old boy in many behaviors.
However, those who know Wright's precocious teenager are only some of the families that are familiar with in the Dragon Castle, at least they know nothing in the caravan.
"Little kid, uncle has a Dou Qi treasure book left by a level seven strong man, only you have five gold coins!" A thin man who looked very vulgar looked at Wright holding a few gold coins in his hand, and his greedy eyes flashed in his eyes, luring him.
Wright: "Are all liars so unprotected? The fighting spirit treasure book left by the level 7 warrior? Five gold coins?" Wright said mercilessly: "Why don't you say it's the cultivation notes of the powerful people in the Holy Land?"
Tina raised her head and asked naively: "Brother, what is a liar? Can she eat it?"
"The liar cannot be eaten, Tina!" Wright said earnestly: "But Tina cannot be a liar in the future, especially a useless liar like this uncle."
“Hahaha~”
"This kid Carter is really useless~"
The words of Little Wright suddenly made some businessmen around him laugh. Some businessmen who usually don’t like the thin man Carter laughed out loud. It was obvious that Carter’s status in the caravan was very low.
The thin man Carter, the face was flushed with anger, and his eyes seemed to burst out.
"Little bastard..." Carter stretched out his arm and wanted to pinch Wright.
A sharp light flashed in Wright's eyes, and he pushed Carter to the ground with his right hand.
The businessmen around him laughed even more happily.
Carter's power was smaller than expected, and Wright understood why he was so looked down upon among businessmen. To sum up the words that the teachings often say, "A man who is not even a first-level warrior, he is not a man." Of course, Wright himself did not reach a first-level warrior, after all, he is still very young.
But that's true, adults have much more strength than Wright. I just didn't check it for a while and fell down.
Seeing Carter's appearance, Wright felt a little worried. It would be fine, but his sister Tina is there, so she can't fight hard.
As his eyes turned, Wright suddenly shouted loudly: "Help, someone is going to kidnap the child. Help, someone is going to steal the child!"
The businessmen around were stunned and all showed strange looks.
Carter's face changed drastically.
After a while, several men in leather armor arrived quickly, and the leader was the "Uncle Roford" who often taught Wright and others.
After seeing Uncle Rofort, Wright seemed to meet his relatives.
After "finding what happened", Rofort was furious. Wright and Tina were the children of their own vice captain, and were actually snatched from the Dragon Castle.
With the order, Carter was caught in the prison of the Dragon Flying Fort.
Sora left little Tina looking at her brother strangely: "Brother, didn't you say you can't be a liar when you grow up?"
Wright: "...How should I get back to this?"
And dozens of meters away, under the shadow of the building, Jafar, another deputy captain of the Dragon Fort, stood respectfully beside a man in a black robe.
The man in black robe smiled hoarsely: "Jafar, I found that your children who fell into the Dragon Castle are really smart, no, they are cunning!"
Jafar smiled and said, "Sir Deacon, this little guy is Andy's adopted son, and he is indeed very extraordinary."
"You remind me that he is the son of the 'Giant Shield'. Do you want me to help you get rid of him?" The man in black robe looked at Jafar very strangely: "You are so arrogant, I really doubt whether you can be a good lord."
"Sir, I mean he can be cultivated, yes, worth it."
"It's almost the same!" The man in black robe smiled and said, "Okay, I won't be too late to avoid the viscount's discovery. You should practice faster. If you break through level 7, many things will happen naturally."
"Yes, Lord Austin!"
Wright hugged Tina and looked around in front of and behind the caravan. Many things were very rare, which opened Wright and Tina's eyes.
What surprised Wright the most was a bald man who claimed to be a magic apprentice, who played two fireballs so well and was extremely exciting.
In the eyes of others, this is a wonderful performance, but in Wright's eyes, there is a feeling of higher and higher levels. Wright seemed to see him wave his hand and a flame burned the enemy to ashes.
That night, Andy and Linda bought weapons and returned home. With their status in the guard, they naturally knew about the conflict between Wright and a certain liar, but they didn't say much. In fact, they thought this was normal, and what surprised them was Wright's words.
"Dad, mom, I want a magician."
With this sentence, Andy was a little reluctant to speak, looked at his wife Linda, and finally said Linda spoke.
"Wright, did you see something today?"
Wright told his adoptive parents all the time that he saw and his feelings.
But his adoptive father Andy poured cold water on him.
"The mage is not that easy to be a mage. There may not be one talented among ten thousand people. Among the one hundred talented people, only one or two can reach the level six magician." Andy said slowly.
Linda's husband's words, "Although the status of a magician is far higher than that of a warrior of the same level, if his talent is low, his cultivation time will be long and he will consume a lot."
"Unless you have a strong talent, the path of magic is more difficult to walk than that of a warrior. Of course, if you have amazing talent, you will gain a much higher status than a warrior." Andy said slightly seriously: "I don't know the legendary holy realm, but I know that a level nine wizard, even the emperor of the empire, must respectfully call it the master, and a level nine warrior can only be the emperor's guard."
"Every July and August, there will be a test of magic talent in Lanfeng County. There will be many personnel assigned by the Magic Academy in the empire to recruit students. If you have high talent, even tuition will be waived. Wright, you can participate. If you have talent, it is best to go to the Magic Academy to study. If you don't have talent, just practice the strength of the warriors. If you become a Level 6 warrior before you become an adult, I will find a way to send you to the Warrior Academy in the Imperial Capital." Although Andy seems to be very caring for his wife (fair) in his wife, he is the only one who is arbitrary in major matters.
