"30 silver coins per person! This is the standard price to go to Corinnnan Village! ”

The short, fat goblin in a gorgeous robe jumped to his feet, and the human in front of him had been talking to him for almost half an hour!

"1 gold per person, half of it is paid in cash."

"Impossible! You're a Ming robbery! ”

Unconvinced by his diminutive stature, the goblin merchant roared:

"50 silver at most, no more!"

"80, rest assured, the money you spend will definitely be worth it."

If it weren't for the fact that the monsters in the foothills of the mountain were not very peaceful, and if it weren't for the well-equipped of these adventurers, the goblin merchants would not have paid much more than the market price.

"But there's a halfling among you! He can only be counted half! ”

The goblin merchant pointed to the apple tea that sat on the carriage and cut wood, as if he had found a good excuse to bargain.

"But we also have a savage."

An Yi raised his chin with a finger, and the tower-like figure of the man was determined to win the sky leaning on the carriage:

"He can top three of them at a time."

"Uh...... That's ......."

"So you're going to triple the price?"

"Oh...... No! Wait a minute! It can't be counted that way! Damn it! ”

Struggling, the goblin merchant raised his chubby fingers:

"70, pay 40 upfront. This is my bottom line, I won't have another copper, even if your team is excellent, I'd rather use this money to hire 8 adventurers. ”

"Okay, okay, it's up to you 70, but you have to take care of the food."

The goblin merchant glared angrily when he heard this, this grandson was too good at bargaining.

"Even though you're wearing a robe made of Mithril, you still care about this little money......

Muttering in his mouth, the goblin merchant pulled out a pile of silver coins in a bag and handed it to An Yizhi.

It is said that businessmen travel from south to north and have a wide range of knowledge, and this is true. Ordinary people would only think that it was a beautiful silver-gray robe when they looked at An Yizhi, but he could recognize at a glance that Mithril was used in it.

What made the goblin merchant collapse the most was that the robe of this product could catch up with his net worth with just one material, and he still cared about this bit of silver. He was willing to pay twice the price of ordinary adventurers to hire a few people, mainly for the sake of that Mithril robe, and the adventurers who could wear this kind of equipment were definitely better than those who bought a sword from the blacksmith shop and dared to pat their chests to ensure that they could repel even if the trolls came.

"Here you go, I've never seen you as a human like money."

"Otherwise, what do you think of my Mithril robes?"

“……”

In front of the goblin merchant, An Yizhi untied the bag and counted them one by one, as if he was afraid of missing one or two, and saw that the former was full of black lines.

After confirming that the number was correct, An Yizhi returned to the carriage with the bag of silver coins and distributed them to the other 4 people.

"Do I have it too?"

Fast took the silver coin bag, but he didn't expect Ann to give it to her as well.

"Of course, although this money is not as good as your salary, at least it is pocket money, so let's use it to buy some cosmetics."

An Yi pointed out that this person is insatiable and scrapes the ground, but there is one thing that he does very well, there will never be an uneven distribution of loot and other aspects, including NPCs.

It stands to reason that An Yizhi has the activity funds given by Farque in his pocket, and he can't look at this small amount of money at all, and 70 silver coins can only buy some ordinary equipment, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, so he has to fight for it anyway.

One silver coin per person, and after dividing it, An pointed to the apple tea:

"Why do you cut wood all day?"

The last time he saw Apple Tea, he also found a piece of wood and shaved it with a dagger.

"Brother An, you don't understand, do you?"

Apple Tea proudly held the prototype wood carving in his hand:

"Learn this little craft, it will be convenient for pickled girls to find girlfriends in the future, and many girls in my college like this kind of handmade wood carving."

An Yizhi nodded when he heard this:

"Well, it's really good, but if it weren't for the legal age of marriage, I would be the father of the child now."

“……”

I'm not afraid that the second disease has culture, but I'm afraid that the second disease has a girlfriend, and the girlfriend is very good, how can this be reasonable.

The sunburned apple tea is very sad......

–‐‐——–‐‐——

An Yi pointed out that the caravan they were following was going to the village of Corinnan, just on the way, and they pretended to be adventurers on a escort mission, so that going out of the city would not arouse the suspicion of the imperial spies.

But Fast was also a celebrity as the princess's bodyguard, so she now wore a mask that covered the upper half of her face, and a hood on her head, dressed like an assassin in the driver's seat of the carriage.

No, none of the three players know how to drive a carriage......

After the caravan left the city, it did not arouse anyone's suspicion, after all, such caravans entered and exited countless times every day, even between the Empire and the Holy Kingdom.

Although the two countries were at war, no one would have trouble with money, and the caravan trade never ended.

However, the war did have a great impact on the commercial exchanges between the two countries, and the easiest road to pass happened to be the battlefield between the empire and the holy kingdom, and when the war really started, the army didn't care whether you were a merchant or not, so most merchants took the north gate of the magic city, climbed over the mountains, passed through the foothills, and finally reached the empire's city on the other side of the mountain.

It's just that the road is too narrow, the narrowest place can only accommodate two carriages in parallel, and the mountain road is rugged, and it is impossible to transport large quantities of goods.

This is also the reason why the empire did not choose to attack the magic city here, such a road is not able to transport supplies and soldiers at all, and it is even more nonsense to start a military formation, and it is easy to be dumpled by the magic crusaders who have been waiting for work for a long time under the mountain.

The convoy left the Magic City through the North Gate, through a field of green wheat, and then crossed a river seven or eight meters wide, and finally headed for the mountain road.

Strictly speaking, it has been the territory of the Empire since the river was crossed, but the Empire has not sent any soldiers to administer it at all.

The reason is simple, there are quite a few monsters living on this mountain.

The types of monsters are complex, there are many of them, and it's okay on the mountain roads that are passed, but from time to time monsters strayed here, but if you want to control the entire mountain range, the soldiers and financial resources required are simply astronomical. What's more, there is really nothing worth occupying on this mountain, not only is there no minerals, it is not even a strategic place, it is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is no way to defend at all, and there are forks and cols everywhere.

No matter how rich the empire was, it wouldn't spend its money here, and the same was true for the Holy Kingdom, so it became a military buffer zone between the two countries, and merchants used this to hire adventurers to protect themselves and transport goods to the two countries through here.

There was only a small village on the hill called Corinnan, which was the only place for merchants to stay, and the goblin merchants transported some necessities to Corinnan, which was then filled with Corinnan's produce, and made its way north to the cities on the other side of the empire.

Speaking of this village, it originally belonged to the Holy Kingdom, but after the war between the two countries, the Holy Kingdom refused to send troops to protect it, so Collinnan went directly to the Imperial Army to swear allegiance, and for this reason, they were not friendly to the people of the Holy Kingdom. An Yizhi and others, especially Fast, must not reveal their identities, otherwise they will be chased and beaten by others.

Sitting in the carriage, Fast was in charge of driving, and while enjoying the scenery along the way, he drank ale without a sip, and Apple Tea ran to the front with the other adventurer scouts to explore the way, so it was not easy to be scouts, and they were the most tired.

And An Yizhi opened the information that Apple Camellia bought for 5 gold coins, of course, this money is included in the activity funds.

A total of 2,381 Imperial troops were stationed at the target of the mission, including a light infantry battalion, two anti-air crossbowmen battalions, and a cavalry reconnaissance battalion.

So far, there's nothing strange about it, but the rest of the information is a bit interesting.

It also states that they have a maintenance squadron of about 100 magician technicians, and a camouflage squadron of the same number.

The so-called magic guide technician maintenance squadron is actually a group of guys who know how to control magic machinery, such as the airship that An Yizhi used to sit in, it needs to be specially maintained by magic guide technicians.

Coupled with the team that specializes in camouflage work, perhaps, as the Holy Demon King said, the Empire has come up with some new type of weapon, and intends to test it with the goal of the magic city.

This kind of thing is obviously not once or twice, I heard Fast say that once the empire made a gliding bomb and dropped it from the mountains in the direction of the magic city, but it failed to break through the active defense system over the magic city, at best, it only let the residents watch a fireworks.

This time, the Holy Demon King said that there was a bit of a threat, which showed that it was definitely not comparable to something of the level of a gliding bomb.

And the most important thing is that the White Hands Association can't do anything about what the Imperial Army has transported to the mountain, after all, it is a country's military secret, and it is not so easy to obtain, not to mention that the price of 5 gold coins is far from enough.

The newspaper said that the Imperial had transported parts of different shapes from seven cities, and that they had built a temporary shed more than 20 meters high and made of heavy canvas as soon as they arrived, which showed that they wanted to assemble something.

The White Hand Guild speculated that the magical machines they assembled required a large amount of mana to be used as energy, as evidenced by the large quantities of magical energy crystals they shipped.

But what it is, it's impossible to know.

But that's why Ann pointed out that they had to go.

Anyway, I've heard about the detailed information of the White Hands Association for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so detailed. In addition to the above-mentioned information, it is also detailed about how many supplies they need to consume every day, and all kinds of expectations to speculate about what they are doing from this aspect, even the terrain and other elements are kindly written, and it is simply detailed information.

But An Yizhi was still a little dissatisfied, except that he didn't know what they were assembling, and some of the items in the intelligence were 'unknown' in the item of leading generals.

Although this level of secrecy was certain, what they were most worried about was that there was a big man over level 50 in those imperial armies, which would seriously frustrate An Yizhi's plan to completely annihilate the imperial army.

Fingers unconsciously tapped on the plank, and An Yizhi calculated whether he could win with stratagem instead of using the Book of the Dead.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded, and An pointed at it. I saw Apple Tea running back from the front with a few NPC scouts, chanting:

"There's an enemy ahead! It's the Harpy! ”
