Chapter 118 The one who helped me turned out to be a werewolf
This winter is particularly cold.
The civilians in the territory needed more food and cloth to keep warm than in previous years.
But heavy snow blocked the roads, causing considerable trouble to Adrian's territory.
Freight from big cities suddenly came to a halt. The official road in the east was covered with snow and ice, and horse-drawn carriages could not run on the road at all.
The merchants were unwilling to take risks and all stopped their actions.
The things civilians need cannot be delivered in time.
Adrian couldn't help but feel a little headache.
Although he was not a lord who cared a lot about the common people, he was not a bully either.
The people in his territory are his wealth. If the people in his territory do not live well, it is nothing to be happy about for him as a lord.
"Hasn't any of the merchants arrived yet?" Adrian asked his follower.
"No!" The attendant shook his head. "In recent months, the only caravan that came was the werewolf caravan that brought four carts of linen. Apart from that, no other caravans have come. I heard that the official road in the east has been completely frozen. Before the snow melts, no more caravans will come."
Adrian frowned deeply: "This is going to be difficult."
His territory was called "Xihuang Town". As the name suggests, the land was barren and agriculture was not well developed. The main industries of the town were herbal medicine and hunting, and agriculture only accounted for a small proportion.
It was fine when caravans came and went frequently. The people of the territory sold what they got from collecting herbs and hunting, and exchanged them with the merchants for food and cloth, so they could still make ends meet.
But now it's snowing heavily and the caravans are not coming, so the food problem has become a very serious issue.
If this continues, the people in the territory will probably start a riot.
Just as he was wondering what to do, he heard someone coming in from outside and saying, "My Lord, the werewolf caravan is here again. This time, they brought a large amount of flour."
"what?"
Adrian was a little confused: "How could the werewolves have enough wheat to sell?"
It turns out that Zhang Jingyi's cultural and creative park is under intensive construction. As we all know, the money needed for the project is not a small amount.
In order to support the huge expenses of building the cultural and creative park, he had no choice but to let the guards and wolves cut down trees fiercely, and sold trees desperately relying on the timber import and export license obtained in Laos.
If a large number of trees are sent over, they need to be balanced with corresponding objects of equal quality.
Zhang Jingyi had to purchase things that corresponded to the plants and send them to Gilneas Town.
Diesel has a high energy content, and one barrel of diesel is equivalent to several trees.
A sleigh, a loom, and seeds are worth a few trees.
But these two things alone were not enough, especially buying too much diesel would arouse suspicion, so he purchased large quantities of flour in the name of restaurants and construction site canteens.
Then they falsified the accounts and inflated the sales, included the flour in the consumption of restaurants and construction site canteens, and shipped it to the Magic Kingdom.
The wolves cut down the trees and exchanged them for flour. They made a lot of money and were very happy. However, they could not eat all the food, so they had to send it to Adrian's territory.
Adrian stood on the castle's observation tower and saw a giant werewolf sled team unloading bags full of flour from the carts in the center of town.
This time the sled team was much larger than the last time, with a total of ten sleds and a total of forty werewolves responsible for pulling the sleds and providing escort.
Including the leaders Zhang Jingyi and Sevi, there were a total of 42 people, a very large team.
In this winter when the snow is as deep as the calf, only the werewolves can manage such a large caravan. Wolves pulling sleds are simply gods in winter.
A large group of townspeople gathered around, holding bags of flour and shouting, "I want to buy flour!"
"I want one too!" "Give me fifty kilograms."
"My family needs 100 kilograms."
The werewolves, who are not good at business, are dealing with the townspeople in a foolish way.
Their attitude was extremely bad, and they were not as friendly as the businessmen at all, but the townspeople did not care about their attitude at this time, because whoever had food was the boss.
Enduring the bad tempers of the werewolves, they rushed to buy things desperately.
Adrian couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that in this difficult time, the people who came to help us were actually a group of werewolves."
Adrian: "Go and talk to Mr. Zhang on my behalf and tell him that I welcome him and hope to see him leading the wolves here to trade frequently throughout the winter."
The follower responded and hurried away.
Adrian had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly saw a hunter running towards the castle from a distance, running very fast.
His body was covered with ice and snow, and he looked extremely miserable.
He ran to the gate of the castle, and before he even had time to come in, he looked up and shouted, "My Lord, something terrible has happened. Something terrible has happened."
Adrian: "What's wrong?"
"Giant! Frost Giant." The sentry exclaimed, "A Frost Giant is walking towards our town from the southeast. It moves very slowly, but it will arrive in half a day at the latest."
"Shit!" Adrian couldn't help but swear: "Frost Giant?"
Adrian can't deal with the frost giants!
This terrifying creature is covered in thick ice armor, which is as thick as a huge rock.
It is almost impossible to knock it down with physical attacks, because no matter how powerful the spear is, it cannot penetrate its thick ice armor.
Adrian's physical combat skills can't even break armor.
Of course, humans are generally difficult to be killed by Frost Giants because humans can run. When they see a Frost Giant from a distance, they just need to run away. The Frost Giant will not be interested in chasing down a group of tiny insects.
However, if a human town happens to be in the path of the refrigerator giant, it will be in big trouble.
It doesn't care whether it's a house or a town, it just flattens it with one foot...
Losing a house is not a big deal in other seasons, but how can people live without the shelter of a house in winter?
Adrian was numb all over. After being stiff for two seconds, he shouted, "Sound the alarm. Inform all the residents of the town that the frost giants are coming. There is still half a day. Those who want to run still have time to run, and those who don't want to run still have time to discuss what to do."
Alarm bells rang out, and the soldiers ran through the town, shouting, "Frost Giants, they will be here in half a day. Frost Giants, they will be here in half a day."
With this shout, the whole town was thrown into chaos.
At this time, Zhang Jingyi was having an awkward conversation with a resident.
The resident is a carpenter.
The carpenter came over just now, but he was not in a hurry to buy food. Instead, he stood around the sleigh, looking from front to back, left to right for a long time, looking like he was thinking seriously.
Zhang Jingyi waved at him: "Hi, hello!"
"Ah, distinguished sir, hello." The carpenter didn't know who Zhang Jingyi was. He only knew that the wolves seemed to listen to him, so he must be a noble lord, and they behaved quite respectfully.
Zhang Jingyi: "You seem to be very interested in sledding?"
