Chapter 371. A completely new pass

There were very few things that Kant needed to deal with personally.

It's basically good to leave it to Rolf.

As for wooing businessmen.

Manid, who came from a merchant family, was more topical with these guys.

In fact, by the time Kant was leaving, the salt trade had already begun, and the merchants from the Lion Duchy with the support of various nobles had a good relationship with Manid.

This was a good impression that had been cultivated before, especially with Rolf, and Manid made them even more popular.

At least.

Manid doesn't get angry because of a single word.

Although it is difficult to communicate with business, it is very strict with business rules.

For example, Rolf, this villain nobleman, who doesn't care about the rules of business or not, dares to speak ill of him or make himself unhappy, then the next thing is to fight each other.

The threat of drawing a knife on the spot is secondary, the key is to wait for the night in the desert where the black people are quiet, and Rolf will really have revenge!

This is also Kant's arrangement.

Hard and soft.

At least Rolf doesn't care if he sings or not.

As an evil general, not only does he not have the slightest burden of becoming a sword in the hands of the supreme lord, but he actually feels quite honored in his heart.

Those righteous generals don't have the capital to become swords!

Calm returned to the central station.

It's the same as ever.

The rules of the salt trade were perfected, and the merchants purchased bags of salt in turn, arranged for the laborers to carry them to the wagons they brought, and once they were transported back to the Lion Duchy, whether they changed hands or sold on the spot, the profits were multiplied several times.

This kind of fine white salt of white flowers, even if ordinary civilians can't afford to eat it, but the nobles will not be stingy.

There are many nobles throughout the human nations.

In order to be able to eat refined salt.

A lot of silver coins were pulled out.

After all, this is about the face of the nobility, which is equal to the dignity of the nobility and is a symbol of decency of the nobility.

And the nobles who were involved in the salt trade made a fortune from this matter, and if Kant could choose to cooperate with them, it would be equivalent to cooperating with a new gold and silver mine, and a large amount of silver coins would be carried into his arms.

No one would refuse at all, especially the kindness that Kantian took the initiative to convey!

Trade is going on very well.

The merchants smiled.

At the same time, many of the secret agents in the caravan were also excited.

Manid had already conveyed goodwill, and though he did not say it, the nobles were always tactful and suggestive in their interactions, and these sophisticated merchants and spies understood the truth.

As soon as they return to their own nobles' territory, they will report the news.

Ready-made credit!

If the connection is closer in the future...

Then the credit for their visit this time is even greater!

Looking at each other, the merchants said goodbye to Manid, and then they organized their caravans and began to march on the road they had come, preparing to reach the Solid Stone Pass, while trekking towards the family domain of their nobles.

However, there are still many caravans, and they have guessed in their hearts why Kant took the initiative to release goodwill.

Sweep past Rolf and the cavalry.

The merchants squinted slightly.

Although not as good as the top knights of the Lion Principality, these cavalry are also elite.

It is still self-contained, and it completely belongs to Baron Kant, who comes from the Lion Castle and belongs to the second in line to the Lion Archduke Cameron, a separate cavalry team.

Maybe in the depths of the Naren Desert, at the sentry oasis, there are still hole cards.

Take the throne.

The word came to the minds of the merchants.

But no one said it explicitly, but they all understood that the Lion Principality might be in chaos.

The exiled second son of the Grand Duke actually mastered a powerful force of unknown origin, and was lucky enough to discover a salt mine and obtain a lot of wealth, how could it not make many people think about it?

The most important thing is that Baron Kant is really qualified to inherit the title of Grand Duke!

If you stand in line in this coming struggle...

The benefits will be unimaginable!

These are the merchants' own speculations, although eight or nine are not far from ten, but the specific is Kant's own decision.

Now he was riding his horse, and 30 lion knights followed him, walking along the path trodden out by the caravan towards the Sanvaya Mountains, where the gap across the mountains was ahead, and it would not take long to reach them.

The road is deserted, but you can occasionally see a lot of small items littered on both sides of the road.

It's like a road sign.

In fact, it is not the road that is being taken now.

It's just that in the Naren Desert, most people walk and step on the traces.

Walking day after day, without sandstorms or strong winds, the gentle sand boundary around it is very clear, and it is estimated that it can really become a road after many years of walking.

At least in the desert, it's not bad to have such a slightly firmer layer of sand to step on.

If it is a loose layer of pristine sand, it is uncomfortable.

Not to mention the horse's hooves, even if the wheels of the car sink into it, it will take a lot of strength to move forward.

When Kant and the first 20 Swadian farmers went to the Sentry Oasis, the wagons loaded with supplies were pulled by two horses, and the wheels next to them needed to be pushed by the farmers to keep up with the walking speed of the people around them.

It can also be seen from this that the carriage can perfectly match the plain terrain, and the discomfort in the desert.

This can also be seen in the behavior of businessmen in recent weeks.

When the salt trade first began, merchants arrived in horse-drawn carriages.

Now, the number of horse-drawn carriages has dropped dramatically, but the number of pack horses has increased, and even if there are carriages, they are still used to carry daily supplies, and they are still pulled by several pack horses to walk in the desert.

When they left, the salt was all on the back of the pack horses, like a camel caravan.

Although the cargo carried decreased.

However, the speed of the trek was much faster.

This can avoid too many dangers, so as not to waste too much time in the desert, after all, for the merchants, the Nalun Desert is really a forbidden area of civilization, the grave of life, staying here for too long will kill people!

Go fast and come back quickly, and a full load is the most correct choice.

Carriages are not needed for the time being.

It's a big deal to get back to the Solid Rock Pass and activate the carriage.

Anyway, the salt trade of the central post station has a quota, although it is monopolized by them, but each person's share is not the same, just make sure that your own part of the quota is good, just earn the silver coins first!

Kant followed this path that had been trodden out.

He was still familiar with the way to the Solid Stone Pass.

On the horizon ahead, the Sanwaya Mountains became clearer.

Continuous.

It's like a sleeping dragon.

However, just ahead, an area in the Sanwaya Mountains suddenly opened a gap.

It was a straight gap, forming a canyon just enough to pass through the majestic Sanwaya mountain range, lest there be the danger of wading through the demonic creatures and the scattered low-level gnolls.

That's right, there are so many dangers in the Sanwaya Mountains.

The demonic creatures are still there.

Living in the mountains, the scattered low-class Tara people also exist.

It's a nightmare for ordinary caravans, but also for many villages on the edge of a rocky pass or a mountain range.

Normally, troops would be organized to sweep the edges of the Sanwaya Mountains, or mercenaries would be recruited to go deeper into the mountains to kill targets that posed a clear threat to rocky passes or villages.

But even so, villages, lumberyards and quarries on the edge of the mountains are still threatened.

This is one of the reasons why it is difficult to develop the Jianshi Pass.

The repression of the aristocracy was secondary.

There are many dangers in their own territory.

In addition, the land is so barren that there are no rivers to support agriculture and animal husbandry and commerce.

Only this seemingly rich natural resource, but in fact full of dangers, is completely a drag, so how can the Jianshi Pass develop!

But think about it.

If the Solid Stone Pass can be developed, it will not be Baron Dylan's turn.

This guy is a member of the Silver Plate Kingdom, and even if he has made great contributions, he is actually not a descendant of the Lion Principality.

If you want to climb to the nobility, even if it is a low-level baron, there is not much possibility, but because of the gift of the lion Grand Duke Cameron and the acquiescence of many nobles, he officially became a nobleman and was enshrined here.

Be a guard over the Sanwaya Mountains and a buffer shield against demonic creatures and gnolls!

The next day.

Afternoon.

The Sanwaya Mountains are already in sight.

The huge mountain range was majestic, and the peaks were lined up one after another, getting higher and higher, like huge giants covering the sky, lined up in rows, waiting for each other shoulder to shoulder.

Only in the middle, what looks like a thin slit appears in front of you.

It is the only canyon in the Sanwaya Mountains.

"Let's go."

Kant shook the reins and rode forward first.

The interior of the canyon had been cleaned at this time, the sandy ground was level, and the rocks that had collapsed from the mountains on both sides of the past and the rotten wood that had fallen down were all gone.

Along the way, you can occasionally see many mercenaries in pairs, armed with weapons.

It looks like the canyon is being maintained on a regular basis.

Of course, after seeing Kant and the 30 lion knights in plate armor and linen robes behind him, their faces changed drastically, and they retreated to both sides of the road one after another, saluting with smiles on their faces and not saying much.

Apparently they all guessed Kant's identity.

Kant didn't care about them either.

Calmly swept over, and continued to ride the horse slowly.

The reserve of the nobility is still necessary, and there is not much to return with these despicable mercenaries.

For the soldiers and civilians from the world of horsemanship, Kant is of course willing to salute, because this means that he is his own people, and he is an existence that can be relied on and trusted, unlike these mercenaries who see money and give money to whomever they want!

Apparently constrained by a lack of personnel, Fatis also recruited local mercenaries to help after taking control of the Solid Stone Pass.

Kant didn't care.

As long as the stone pass is still in your own hands.
