Chapter 1243 Caravan

On the Feren plane, the Great Plain of Hatak has always been a very famous absolute forbidden zone, because any intelligent creature with visual organs can see a magical tower of bright moon standing between heaven and earth, blooming day and night on the far border of the Hatak Plain. Therefore, in order to avoid getting close to the "landmark building" that represents danger and terror as much as possible, except for a few travelers who are worth money and have the courage to cross the Great Plain of Hatak Plain to engage in commercial exchanges with the distant kingdom, most merchants who pursue wealth can only honestly avoid the vast green grasslands and go from the most distant border of the Hatak Plain to other countries to pursue wealth.

However, it was not easy to bypass a large plain that once carried a royal size. Originally, because the area of ​​the Feren plane was too vast, even the trade exchange between two small kingdoms was already very difficult. Now, it is necessary to take a road of five times the straight line distance, which is even more dangerous and time-consuming.

After all, countless magic creatures are always wandering in the empty wilderness. These terrifying existences that often have the strength of formal professionals can cause a catastrophe to ordinary caravans.

Therefore, in order to ensure safety on the far-reaching road that is actually unguardable, no matter how courageous the wealthy businessmen are, they often have to hire at least two, or at most five formal professionals as protection. Even if the road is unobstructed, a round-trip business operation will take at least five years!

For most ordinary people, such business actions are "big choices" that they can't participate in several lifetimes. For those great nobles who can hire professionals, organizing such a large-scale commercial trip often requires blocking most of their own property to barely support it. Although cross-border trade and the traded things are specialty magic resources, it definitely represents amazing interests and wealth, but once there are any problems on the journey of not having a village or a store five years ago, even the great nobles of a small kingdom will lose all their money.

Natural disasters, man-made disasters, terrible monsters, and boring and amazing travel time...... The two countries between the Hatak Plain are really unlucky. Any trade between them is a huge gambling, and every caravan walking close to the Hatak Plain border must be a group of trembling crazy gamblers.

For example, this group of caravans that have just arrived halfway through the journey are typical examples of gamblers - this is a trade brigade that bears the full value of the three great noble families in the Kingdom of Haumenaz!

The Haumenaz Kingdom is located in the north of the Hatak Plain. This area is specialized in a magic metal that is very suitable for making formal magic circles. It is said that this high-purity metal deposit that is unlikely to be naturally formed is a by-product of a legendary strong man who failed to challenge the "Whisper of Destruction" that year. The fact that there is no such useful magic metal in the territory of the Kingdom of "Potalados" in the south of the Hatak Plain seems to prove this conjecture.

In terms of national strength alone, the Kingdom of Potalados without metal deposits is much stronger than the Kingdom of Haumenaz. They must be extremely jealous of a magical metal vein, but the two countries separated by the "Hatak Plain" could not solve the issue of belonging to a rare resource through the most "perfect" method of war, so trade with extremely huge benefits came into being.

The nobles of the Kingdom of Haumenaz organized a caravan to sell magic metals to the Kingdom of Podarados to earn a large amount of gold, while the Kingdom of Podarados used several gold deposits to buy scarce magic metals. In this way, the circulation of the economy began to operate, and the great nobles on the verge of bankruptcy were willing to regard this risky trade as a gamble of turning the tables.

Gambling requires chips. A caravan composed of dozens of "siege behemoths" full of magic metal containers and 50 meters tall is the so-called bargaining chip. The current "siege behemoths" are about to pursue gold that represents wealth and take it back to revive their family. For this reason, everyone in this business team must live on those "siege behemoths" who can stay awake and eat or drink for decades.

What a large caravan, they are as vast as a town on a trip.

However, in this "town" with a rough style, there is a unique scenery that is incompatible with the wilderness and sand. For example... a pampered girl in her teenage years old and a team of young maids who are good at playing various performing arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not in line with the conventional "trading caravan".

Generally speaking, a caravan with strict discipline cannot tolerate the existence of "useless labor". A young lady with only two warriors and a group of beautiful little maids who chatter and chattering are obviously impossible to fall into the category of "labor power", so their identity in the caravan is never self-evident.

That's right, although no one will say it clearly, in fact... they are part of the goods planned to be sold.

Moreover, compared to the expensive value of magic metal, whether it is a noble lady or a group of well-trained little maids, they are just "gifts" to "show their attitudes". They are tools used by the three noble families to marry and are the background bonds used to "maintain friendly relations" with the great noble families of Podarados.

In fact, the aristocratic girl sitting on the railing on the back of the "siege beast" was watching the distance of the road, and she was "sighing every day" because of her identity and destiny that she had to go far away.

"Oh, the magic tower in the distance is so beautiful. No matter how long I look at it, I will never get tired of it. The purple light and the blue shadows intertwined, and even the clouds were slowly rotating around it. I really don't know how shocking it would be to get closer to see such a magical building...... Anna, people say that there is a terrifying wizard in the magic tower that can destroy a country with a wave of hands. Are you saying what they said is true?"

The eyes were blurred as the brilliant light belts scattered into the sky that spread into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds. The noble girl with yearning in her tone couldn't help but swaying her slender legs while asking about the close maid beside her.
