Chapter 142: The Trouble of the Golden Trade Route

For the next few days, Jenn didn't make any more trouble. Passus was originally a quiet town, a little deserted compared to those lively cities, but the advantage is that it is plain and clean, people are sunrise and sunset on weekdays, and the daily conversation is not only some gossip heard from business travelers, but also some trivial things about dogs and rats. The arrival of people like Jenn and Patilina has caused quite a stir in Passus, and the last few days have been all about them. The militiamen were dancing and foaming at the mouth about how the little girl had whipped such a tall man out of the way, while the young girls of the village talked more about the handsome young nobleman. As a high-level demon, not to mention anything else, the attribute value of charm must be full.

And Jenn didn't do anything superfluous these days, just took Patilina to Bix every day to see the progress of the project in the name of seeing the scenery. But luckily, it's quite smooth, after all, it's close to the surface, it's not as dangerous as the real dark area, even Elise didn't encounter any decent enemies, she swept the whole underground with the alien, and only found some kobolds -- of course, for these idiots with low IQ, Jenn didn't even have the interest in accepting them as doglegs, and threw them directly to the alien to add food.

There was no trouble on Bikes' side, the only problem was that there were too few people, and five goblins were jumping up and down at her beckoning. Jenn had no choice but to make Bix work a little harder for the time being, after all, Elise can't go back to the Great Library now, only after the dungeon is built. Jenn had a little more men on his side to get Elise back to work on the fourth spell—of course. It's going to have to be lucky enough for him.

In addition to the construction of the dungeon, Jenn is at ease chatting with Lygia in Black Manor to relieve her boredom. Now the times are not so open. A married nobleman like Ligia is naturally not good at showing his head in front of those commoners, after all, nobles should be born high. So they couldn't go out casually, so they had to stay at home and listen to Jenn tell them all kinds of interesting stories and stories. As a high-level demon clan, Jenn has been crawling in the library of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall for so many years, and he has not seen anything, and just a few words of secret news are enough to make Ligia and the others listen to it.

As a down-and-out aristocrat, Ligia and her family didn't have much entertainment to pass the time, and no one would invite them to any cocktail party. I can only stay in a house without people every day, and I will feel depressed if I change it. And Jenn's arrival made the originally dull life of Lycia and the two maids suddenly become much more colorful. In fact, what they look forward to most every day now is the funny stories that Jenn will tell them when he returns for dinner.

This is really no different from those housewives who hold the TV after dinner and watch the eight o'clock stall after dinner...............

There was no response from the Pawood family, as Deli had said, but Jenn was not surprised that these local nobles were not of high status and had a good temper. If it weren't for the fact that he showed the coercion of the legendary level, even Dai Li would probably have a hard time agreeing to his request. Not to mention those who hadn't experienced it firsthand, and now Deli must be struggling to convince the rest of the Pawood family to agree to Jenn's request, but it was obviously not an easy task. In Jenn's opinion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it in ten days and half a month. But that's fine, when it's done over there, the dungeon side should be done too.

Only this time. Jenn was still wrong.

It was only five days before Deli returned to Passus, only to Jenn's surprise. This time, I came with Dai Li, except for the black-clothed swordsman last time. And a whole hundred heavily armed private soldiers.

"Mr. Jenn, the Pawood family has granted your request."

Standing in front of Jenn again. Dai Li seemed more and more cautious, but it could be seen from her slightly emaciated face that this young lady probably hadn't had any worry-free days these days. But even so, she forced a smile and handed over the paperwork in her hand. It was stamped with the seals of the Pawood family and the Federation, and it was clear that from this moment on, the land of Starfall Fang belonged entirely to Jenn.

"It seems that the Pawood family is still worth associating."

Now that he has received the benefits, Jenn no longer put on a face, but said with a smile. Then he looked curiously at the private soldiers behind Dai Li, and I have to say that these private soldiers did not look as good as the regular army. But working under the aristocracy, there is also some ability. It's just that Jenn can't figure out what these private soldiers are doing here, he originally thought that the Pawood family was going to tear their faces and fight with themselves, but now it doesn't seem like that's the case?

"What's going on with these soldiers?"

It's no wonder that Jenn asks this question, because these private soldiers are not those who are dedicated to showing off their might, but serious private soldiers. Even if the local nobles had some troops on hand, they couldn't just take them out and walk around. That's why Jenn thought at first that this was a sign that the Pawood family was planning to do it with him, but now that he even got the paperwork, these soldiers would never come to trouble him again.

"Them?"

It seemed to anticipate Jenn's question, so Deli was quick to give an answer.

"These soldiers are on their way to the Golden Trade Route to settle the troubles there, Mr. Jenn. It's just that because your business is more important, we will come to Passus first..............."

"Trouble? What's the trouble? ”

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

Saying this, Deli sighed again. Looking at her look of a sad face that she had clearly completed the task, Jenn suddenly felt that maybe this was the most troublesome thing for her during this time.

Since he was going to invade the surface, Jenn naturally had a detailed understanding of the geography of the Crane continent. The Golden Trade Route is one of the most famous trade routes on the Eagle Plateau, which is bordered by Baihua Port in the west and Megalith City in the east. It can be said that it is the passage connecting the east and west of the entire Klein continent, and its significance is not exaggerated compared with the Silk Road on the earth. And these nobles along the way naturally also gained a lot of benefits from it. They don't bother to bother with a marginal town like Passus, but it's not the same if there is a problem with the golden trade route. For the aristocracy, this trade route was the god of wealth. That's why they do their best to maintain the safety of this trade route.

“……… According to the reports of business travelers, ogres have recently appeared on the golden trade routes, and it has been very unstable, and many caravans have suffered. That's why my father sent us to check on the situation. ”

"Ogre?"

Hearing this, Jenn couldn't help but reach out and push his glasses.

Ogres can be considered surface goblins, and their characteristics are similar to those of goblins, and they like to pred. Likes to kill, and as soon as it breeds, it is a large flock. It's just that unlike the timid goblins, ogres are fierce by nature and are not afraid of death. And because of the large number of people, they often attack other races, and as the most powerful human race on the continent, they are naturally the first to bear the brunt of the suffering. If that's the case, it's not hard to see why the Pawood family would send elite private soldiers to deal with the problem. But............

"How many?"

"I heard that there are two or three hundred, maybe more, and there are even businessmen who say that there are cultists........."

Face Delily's answer. Jenn found it even more incredible.

"You're only going with a hundred soldiers?"

It's no wonder that Jenn finds it strange, he also looked at the strength of these soldiers, that is, the level of one star to one and a half stars, at most they are only elites. Ogres are a naturally peculiar race. The strength of the entire group adds up to a two-star standard, and it can already compete with the combat effectiveness of the country's regular army, if there are more of them. There are also cultists involved, and I am afraid that even the ordinary border garrison troops will not be able to clean it up. Deli is a mid-level mage herself. With a hundred private soldiers who are only slightly more powerful than ordinary people, you want to deal with those ogres? Is this drinking too much or drinking too much?

"We're just going to find out............"

Of course, Deli understood what Jenn meant, and in fact she was in a hurry about it all this time. As a mage. Of course she knew how powerful ogres were. However, the problem of the nobles is generally that unless they are killed at the door, they are treated as petty thieves. They don't even know what ogres are, and they think they're bandits!

According to Deli's idea, it is best to take the elite troops of the Pawood family and go out in a big way to directly sweep away those ogres. However, her suggestion was opposed by many people in the family, and in the end, Dai Li had to compromise and take a hundred soldiers to the trade route with a reconnaissance mission to check the situation first. In fact, she is also beating the drum in her heart, according to those businessmen, if there are really so many ogres, then Deli estimates that she will have no return...............

While speaking, Dai Li looked at Jenn expectantly, and had to admit that the reason why she said this to Jenn was that she had some expectations in her heart.

And Jenn, of course, will not miss the trace of love hidden in Deli's eyes.

"It's too dangerous."

Thinking of this, Jenn immediately said in a deep voice. He was keenly aware that this was a good opportunity for his "disguised identity" to officially enter the stage.

"Miss Delly, ogres are very dangerous, if you rely only on these hundred private soldiers, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to complete the mission, I am afraid that your lives will be in danger."

"So is there anything good Mr. Jenn can do?"

Hearing this, Dailie's eyes lit up - wasn't she just waiting for Jenn's words?

In the face of Daily's inquiry, Jenn also smiled and nodded.

"Of course, Miss Delly, I can join the team with Pattilina if you wish............ Oh yes. "At this point, Jenn seemed to suddenly remember something." ……… In fact, my men are almost here these days, and I think we should be able to deal with the ogres together. ”

"Subordinates?"

Hearing this, Dai Li couldn't help but be stunned.

Judging from the information obtained by the Pawood family before, there should not be many talents around this Mr. Jenn, right, where did the subordinates come from? (To be continued......)
