my age of magic

Chapter 1199 3. Camp Trum

The Trom camp in the drizzling rain looked so messy. Huge granite slabs made up the general outline of the camp. In addition to a row of wooden barns in the center of the camp, there were some marching camps built of rawhide around the camp. In the tent, a bonfire was burning in the drizzle, and there was a faint steam around it.

A group of savages dug trenches outside the camp, and the rain dripped on their slightly pale, muscular skin, revealing a porcelain-white light. They were covered with black and blue tattoos, like overgrown weeds They stood in the ditch full of muddy water and worked hard with black and bright pickaxes and shovels in their hands.

In the corner of the camp are several large wooden cages that look like huts. Each cage houses a giant spider. They are so huge that they curl up in the cage and shiver in the rain. There are two spider legs of giant spiders. It was cut off by the roots, and it lay lifelessly in the wooden cage like a meat dumpling. If it hadn't been for seeing its ten terrified eyeballs still moving around, you might have thought that these two giant spiders is dead.

Some leftover spider legs and hard shells were thrown messily beside the fire. At this time, there was still a large black iron pot next to the fire. Most of the porridge in it seemed to have cooled down, and the rain continued. fall inside.

Captain Dick followed behind Justus, still maintaining his proper composure.

The members of the adventure group tremblingly followed Captain Dick into the Trum camp. They watched the barbarians walking around in the camp, and even their breathing became much lighter.

Cassandra was at the back of the line. Although she looked very nervous, her eyes were shining with calmness and wisdom. She carefully watched every barbarian slave and found that this group of barbarian slaves As for the members of the adventure group entering the camp, they turned a blind eye like air, and they were slightly relieved.

She reached out and touched Gu Bolai's horse's head, comforting her own mount.

"These barbarian slaves don't seem to be hostile to us, but we can't relax our vigilance. If there is a real fight, you must follow me and don't run away!" Cassandra told me whispered to Katerina.

"Okay, got it!" I readily agreed.

She glanced at the Shura ax hanging on my horse's back, frowned slightly and said: "You look so thin, you are not suitable for holding a heavy blunt weapon like an axe. If you have a chance, you can change it to a weapon like a long sword and a scimitar. It will be more convenient when escaping."

"I quite like using an ax." I whispered to Cassandra.

Cassandra glanced at me with displeasure in her pale blue eyes.

She stretched out a finger, tapped my forehead from the air, and said harshly to me: "Don't always be so willful, you will hurt your sister."

Hearing Cassandra say that, I shrugged my shoulders indifferently.

Katerina stood aside, half of her face was hidden under the hood, and I could clearly see her sexy lips curved slightly.

The camp of the dwarf Bernd was next to a granary. He temporarily built a rain shelter outside the tent. There was a set of tables and chairs under the tent. He sat on the chair safely. Two strong barbarians The slaves were divided into left and right sides.

Justus pretended to come forward and communicated with the dwarf Bernd. I stood behind the team and couldn't hear what they said. It seemed that they were discussing the transaction price. Cassandra looked at the pile of The huge granary full of sacks said to Katerina: "Caterina, do you think these granaries are full of grain?"

Katerina looked at the tauren Luka who was sleeping in the shack not far away, and whispered to Cassandra, "It should be!"

Cassandra looked at those granaries helplessly, and said with emotion: "It has long been said that after the Trume stronghold was captured by spidermen, a batch of military supplies was hidden by an old quartermaster. In the cave behind the Trum stronghold, but rumors also said that when the Duke of Samoyed led the army to move around Tanton City, he had already taken out the batch of military supplies. I really didn't expect that there was so much food left. .”

"No matter what, as long as these grains are moved to Tanton City, the food crisis in Tanton City will be resolved!" Cassandra licked her lips and said to Katerina and me.

"Cassandra, Cassandra, Captain Dick calls you over!" A member of the adventure group standing under the awning shouted to the back of the team.

Cassandra was chatting with us in a low voice, and when she heard someone calling him, she immediately agreed, "I'll be right there!"

Then she put the reins of the horse into my hand, and said to me solemnly: "Help me watch it, don't let it run around, be careful not to be eaten by those barbarians."

After finishing speaking, Cassandra stepped on the muddy water and ran to the front.

Captain Dick of the adventure group bought food from the dwarf leader Bernd at the Trum camp.

The transaction process went very smoothly. The food price was set by Bernd and I in advance. Each silver coin can be exchanged for ten catties of wheat. If the members of the adventure group can successfully transport the wheat back to Tanton City, the profit can be doubled by five Times, such a huge profit is already very rare for the Seven Trees Adventure Group.

Each of the ancient Bolai horses has two sacks of wheat on their backs. Because they are worried that the wheat will be wet by the rain, the sacks are covered with a piece of hard cowhide to protect them from the rain. Cassandra stands in the awning and uses a charcoal pencil Write down a string of numbers on each sack, and record them one by one in the sheepskin book.

The gray sky seemed to be leaking, and the rain kept falling,

Most of the members of the adventure group were drenched. They leaned together next to the campfire to enjoy the fire, but they were frightened by the hard shells of spiders all over the ground. They hurriedly led their ancient horses and stood in line in the rain.

It wasn't until they received their own share of food at the awning that they led Gu Bolai's horses out of the Trum camp.

The members of the adventure group would rather stand under the tree outside the camp and soak in the rain than wait inside the camp.

Cassandra recorded the accounts of receiving food in the awning from the beginning to the end, and finally it was Katerina and I who led the ancient horses and walked up, and saw us standing in the rain wearing rain cloaks. , Bernd always had an expression that he couldn't hold back and wanted to laugh, but the embarrassing scene of laughter finally didn't happen.

At the end, Cassandra saw the two barbarian slaves guarding Bernd. She helped Katerina and me tie the sack to the old horse we were leading, and stood aside laughing with the account book in hand. He whispered to Katerina softly: "I've always heard that the barbarians in the Northern Province are very cruel, and even eat people when they are hungry. Why does it make me feel a little different? How about their rumored viciousness?"

Standing in the canopy, I smiled at Cassandra and said, "Maybe they have been slaves for too long, and their ferocious nature has gradually been domesticated!"

Cassandra gave me a ungrateful look, took the reins of Guberai's horse from Katerina's hand, handed it to me, and said to me with a straight face: "Take your horse well..."

"..."

The dwarf Bernd and the barbarian slave next to him looked at Cassandra strangely. The young Bena swordswoman unconsciously picked up the account book in her hand, and wrote down heavily on it with a quill pen. two strokes...

After all the team members received the food, Captain Dick paid a sum of silver coins to Bernd.

Afterwards, Katerina and I left the Trum Camp with the Seven Trees Adventure Group and embarked on our way back to Tanton City.

The Nebru tribe spidermen were driven out of the Trum area by Bernd and the barbarian slave army, and the beasts in the jungle were also hunted down by the Nibru tribe spidermen. The birds in the jungle hide when it rains. Into the bird's nest, so there is hardly a ghost to be seen all the way from Tanton City to Trume Camp.

On the way here, the members of the adventure group still looked worried. On the way home, the atmosphere seemed much more relaxed. The members of the adventure group talked about this adventure in a low voice while getting wet in the rain. They thought the journey would be a little dangerous. But I didn't expect the tranquility along the way to make people feel a little unbelievable.

Unknowingly, we walked out of the jungle in the drizzle and came to a large grassland south of Tanton City. The outline of Tanton City gradually became clear in the rain.

Captain Dick put his arms around Justus's shoulders, and couldn't hide his joyful expression.

The members of the adventure group began to look for Cassandra one after another, and only then did they bother to ask about the situation of the wheat in the sack, and they were entangled for a while and couldn't get out.

Katerina and I led the Gubolai horse to the last of the team. Looking at the joyful scene of the team, Katerina asked me: "Shall we go for a walk with them?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't have that much time to spend here! We'll return to the imperial capital later."

Katerina asked with some concern: "The power of lightning in your body has recovered?"

"If it's just the two of us, there's no problem." I looked up at the rain in the sky, and said to Katerina with a smile, "Don't forget, this kind of rainy day is also my home game."

"There is only a 50-person grain transportation team, and I don't know when the wheat will be transported to Tanton City!" Katerina said with some concern.

I said to Katerina: "Look! Only 50 people came this time, and the number of people will be doubled next time. After all, it is five times the huge profit, and if they start again next time, if they are smart, Just hire some magic wagons."

After entering the city, Captain Dick wanted to invite us to go to the black market and sell the grain at a high price.

I politely declined, but Justus ran over to say goodbye to me knowing that I was about to leave the Hierro plane with Katerina.

I took the opportunity to tell Justus that he must find a way to expand the size of the food transport team, so that the price of food in Tanton City can be reduced.

In addition, he needs to find a way to hire some civilians who can't afford food in the city and let them work as laborers in the Trume camp, but there is no need to be too urgent. If they dare to go out of the city to work, let them watch the food transport team go back and forth between Trume Camp and Tanton City a few times first, let them see that the outside of the city is not as dangerous as they thought, and they will probably be able to dispel their inner fear .

I also asked Justus to tell Bernd not to take the barbarian slaves out of the range of the ancient tree of war lord's aura, and stay here honestly for the time being. The barbarian slaves can only be covered by the ancient war tree aura Underneath is the invincible battle group.

Afterwards, lead Gu Bolaima and Katerina to leave the adventure group and return to Mr. Billy's hotel.

We led the horses to Mr. Billy's hotel. Mr. Billy recognized me from inside the hotel. He ran out from the front desk at a trot, pushed open the door of the hotel himself, and ordered the young waiter to take me and Katerina to the hotel. Mr. Billy's third young wife came up with two dry towels to wipe the rain from our faces.

Mr. Billy reprimanded the young wife there: "Why do you wipe it! After so long raining, you should go upstairs and take a hot bath at this time! Hurry up and take Jijia Magician and Carter Linna goes upstairs to the room where they usually live!"

I waved to Mr. Billy, indicating that he doesn't have to rush to open the room, and asked the young waiter in the hotel to help me unload the food on the horse's back, and then threw a silver coin to the young waiter, asking him to take good care of me and Carter For Linna's two Gubolai horses, it is best to light a fire in the stable to dry the wet fur of the two Gubolai horses.

At this time, the fat cook in the hotel also ran out to help, and finally carried four sacks of wheat into the hotel.

I stepped on the sack, took out a sharp skinning knife and poked a hole in the sack, and the wheat in the sack flowed out like quicksand.

Mr. Billy squatted in front of the sack, his eyes widened, he stretched out his hand to pick up a handful of wheat, then picked up a few grains and threw them into his mouth to chew a few times, his eyes suddenly became extremely bright, and his eyes fell on the On the four sacks, said in surprise: "These sacks are full of wheat? Wizard Jijia, where did you get these grains?"

"Over there at Trume's camp outside the city," I replied.

Seeing the golden yellow wheat flowing all over the ground, the fat cook rushed into the kitchen and took out a wooden basin. When she was running, the fat all over her body was shaking up and down. The wheat is carefully collected into the tub.

I resentfully retracted my foot on the sack, pointed to the four bags of wheat on the floor of the hall, and said to Mr. Billy: "Mr. Billy, we don't need these bags of wheat. I thought about it, I don't know. Is Mr. Billy interested in buying them, and if so, I'll sell them to you at a discount."

The expression on Mr. Billy's face was a kind of surprise hit by happiness, and he quickly said to me: "Of course I want to. I don't know when the next magic airship that will deliver supplies will come from Pereira, and I I was also worrying about tomorrow's breakfast, I didn't expect you to return to the hotel with four bags of wheat, I..."

I said to Mr. Billy: "You don't need to pay me silver coins. The wheat will be used as our rent for the time being. Katerina and I got a little rain on the way, and we just want to sleep when we go upstairs. If we need to eat, we will come downstairs by ourselves, so please don't disturb me for the time being!"

After finishing speaking, he took Katerina and dragged his wet defensive cloak up the stairs on the side of the hotel.

Mr. Billy held on to the handrail of the stairs, leaned forward, and said to me who was climbing the stairs very flatteringly: "Then please take a good rest, I guarantee that even a mouse will not come out of your room." through the door!"
