Standing in the camp outside the city gate, Lu Kuan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, feeling very good.

Among the crowds coming and going at the gate of the city, there was an endless stream of large and small teams driving carriages to the north, Lu Kuan watched here for about half an hour, and there were already more than a dozen teams that were obviously caravans going north, including many NPC caravans without player participation.

Dai Guang and the others were all standing beside Lu Kuan, and they were also happy to see this scene.

"Jin Huo's movements are fast enough~ The news has been spread so quickly~" Dai Guang turned around excitedly, and his mouth couldn't close with a smile.

"Of course he is active, Lao Lu promised him that in at least a year, the official caravan of the royal city will arrive in Runetera City, and the tax can be reduced by half,"

Bai Xian laughed in a low voice: "Besides, Meng Ge and I went to inquire just now, there are not a hundred or eighty caravans waiting for us to come over in the city, and we have long been looking forward to the city lord's mansion to release the news that the road is safe." ”

Lu Kuan smiled, took a deep breath, and the sense of accomplishment in his heart was already bursting.

Profit is the biggest driving force for merchants' activities, and if you organize a caravan from Wangcheng to Runeterra City, even if the goods are the most common iron and copper ores, there will be at least sixty percent of the profits - whether it is the Night Crater in the north, or the Rapids Harbor, or the small settlements near the coastline, the import rate of the ore required in normal times has almost always been more than 90%.

Compared with the ore transported by the distant sea, the ore here has an absolute advantage in both quality and quantity.

Not to mention the merchants who came from far away from other places, the timber and spices, grain and medicine from the south, and the fine leather stones, horses, and unique ores from the north......

All of them, whether it is the players or the NPC's caravans, while they make a profit through their hard work, Runetera can also make a lot of money through taxes and teleportation fees.

"Hey, I suddenly feel like I'm going to go down in history,"

Dai Guang put his hands behind his back, looking bullish: "In the future, when I talk about the opening process of this trade route, I will definitely think of us, and it may even change the trade pattern between the north and the south~ Is this another form of stirring the world?" ”

Everyone laughed, and without waiting for others to express their opinions, Chen Shuang had already kicked Dai Guang's fart and stock: "You are beautiful wool!" If you want to talk about the leader, Lao Lu, you give me a little more down-to-earth! ”

At this time, everyone simply burst into laughter, Dai Guang rubbed his farts and stocks, without any embarrassment, and also grinned, and the laughter spread far away under the sunset of winter dusk, adding a touch of vitality to this cold winter day.

But in the evening, everyone was shocked by an unexpected news.

A caravan of players from Runeter City also arrived at Golden King City before 12 midnight!

This speed is really amazing, Lu Kuan and the others have only been here for less than a day, and if you think about it carefully, you can understand that these people must be far behind everyone, using the combat power of the caravan guards to avoid danger and be a leak.

Dai Guang couldn't help cursing, being taken advantage of by these people, Lu Kuan smiled, but he also remembered one thing.

"Didn't Zhu Biao remind me before that there was a team of players following us?"

Lu Kuan touched his chin and laughed: "Maybe it's them?" ”

Wu Xiaoxiao showed a sudden expression, and tapped his smooth forehead with his fingers: "Yes, I almost forgot...... But the sense of smell is quite acute. ”

"Yes~" Lu Kuan was deeply touched.

These people are actually very risky to follow behind, first, their strength is limited, they may be unlucky to be slaughtered by the monsters, or they may simply be discovered by Lu Kuan, and directly turn back to kill them back to Rune City - if Lu Kuan really does this, they can only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, do you think they can take advantage of it casually?

Of course, Lu Kuan was not so careful, but this free advertisement could be used.

Thinking of this, Lu Kuan sent a message to Zhu Biao, asking him to see if there was any relevant news flowing out on the forum, and to say a few words on the live broadcast tomorrow, which is another good sample of publicity.

"Okay, that Dong Qiao has been in the sun for a long time, I'll take a look." Lu Kuan stretched his waist and smiled at the girl.

Wu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Be careful, someone is calculating behind your back, it's not good." ”

Lu Kuan made an OK gesture: "Understood, my wife can rest assured." ”

Wu Xiaoxiao's face turned red, she didn't pay attention to Lu Kuan, turned around and left to find the other two female companions.

……

The bearded Dong Qiao sat on a chair, his waist straight, his chin raised slightly, and he looked at the young human ranger in front of him, with disdain in his eyes, and a very good hidden puzzle.

This lord, who single-handedly created the prosperous scene of Rune City, did not seem to have even the slightest bit of domineering and pomp that a lord should have.

Lu Kuan was holding a waist card in his hand, which he found out of Dong Qiao's belongings, and he came out to do this kind of thing with him, and the other party didn't care too much about his identity being revealed~

"How, tell me more?" Lu Kuan dragged a chair and sat down, his tone casual.

"The commands of the Church are known only to the Holy Maiden." Dong Qiao raised his neck and said arrogantly.

Lu Kuan raised his eyebrows and laughed amusedly: "Clams? Who got you used to this temper? Come on, cut off your finger first. ”

Seeing that powerful and terrifying orc came over and pulled out a short sword from his waist, Dong Qiao immediately became anxious: "You dare!" I am the messenger of the Celestial God Sect, and the city lord of the Silver Dragon Empire has to salute me for three points when he sees me, and you dare to do it with me!? ”

Lu Kuan lowered his head and fiddled with the token in his hand, as if he hadn't heard the other party's words, how fast Damian moved, he walked over and pulled and slashed.

After a gaba that resembled a broken branch, Dong Qiao's miserable howl sounded immediately, and the guards passing outside the tent looked in the direction from which the sound came from, and then walked away as if they had heard nothing.

A moment later.

Dong Qiao was like a defeated rooster, his head hung down and collapsed on the chair, his face was pale, his body trembled slightly, and the incision of his fingers had been bandaged, stopping the bleeding, but the pain could not be stopped.

"Dude, do you want to talk about it?" Lu Kuan still had that leisurely expression and asked unhurriedly.

Dong Qiao took a few deep breaths, barely stabilizing his emotions, and this time he looked at Lu Kuan's eyes full of horror: "Big ...... High Lord, may I ask a question? ”

Lu Kuan said: "Feel free." ”

“…… The church knows that I'm coming, and if I can't be reached within a few days, it will definitely come and look for me, and you ...... Are you really not afraid at all? Or do you not know about our Celestial Cult at all? Our church ......"

"Alright, alright,"

Lu Kuan directly interrupted the other party's words, and said a little impatiently: "Just tell me what you know, and you don't have to worry about my safety." ”

Dong Qiao listened, took a deep breath again, and didn't say anything more tremblingly, just kept repeating in his heart: This madman from the countryside, this madman......
