Above the Seven Towers

Chapter 69 The Mysterious Guest Page 1/1

Xiao Chen's doppelganger saved Umeda Tian, ​​who was far away in Pomaer Village, and his real body was now standing outside of another town.

This town called Goyo has been in the hands of the local lord Barragos. This baron, unlike most of the little nobles around him, did not loyal to the big lords nearby. On the contrary, his family had been acquiring this land for a long time. However, after the death of the old king, he seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the queen, so now he does not listen to anyone ’s assignment, and he has not participated in the exchanges between the nobles of the kingdom. .

Goyo Town is a town dominated by agriculture and forestry. There are also several villages under its jurisdiction. The main source of income for local people is to provide food, vegetables, fruits and wood to the surrounding cities. The grain and fruits and vegetables produced in the town are of high quality and sell well in the surrounding areas, so the residents of the town live a good life. After the Tower of China took control of Suero, he also asked Baron Paragus to submit to the Tower of China. But the other party drove the messenger out and refused the request, but there was no persecution or embarrassment. For this kind of town that refused to give up resistance but did not show too much threat, the current enemy ’s Tower of China can only be ignored.

This town is not an important transportation point. There were not many merchants in the past, and most of them were grain and timber merchants. Therefore, when Xiao Chen appeared in the town in disguise, he did not attract special attention.

Walking on the stone road in the town of Goyo, Xiao Chen found that the town is a bit old, but no matter the style of the house or the people's dress, they all look pretty good. This is not common in remote villages, which often means that the local area has a good economic foundation and the lords manage the area to a considerable degree.

The atmosphere in the town is relaxed and ordinary, and the residents of the town do not have any tension during the war. Five days ago, the city of Cypress informed Baron Parags about the outbreak of the plague in the empire, and then a sick enemy infiltrated into the country, but it seems that the baron did not tell his townspeople of the news.

What idea did the baron play? Xiao Chen felt that he should talk to him, but before that, he wanted to know all the information, so he walked into a lively pub.

This is the time after dinner, many local residents like to come here for a drink. There are many people sitting in this small pub. The appearance of a stranger like Xiao Chen surprised everyone present.

The boss behind the bar saw Xiao Chen greeted: "Welcome you, strangers, there are few guests coming from outside recently. Where did you come from?"

"East of Suero." Xiao Chen walked to the bar and smiled to the boss: "I want to do some business, come here to see the supply. Why, has the business been sluggish recently?"

"Business? Since the battle, the business has naturally been poor. What are you going to buy like? The wood here is very good, the most suitable for making furniture and the like. Talk to the guests in the pub, you will find it useful. Something, "the pub owner said.

Xiao Chen sat by the bar, bought a glass of ale, and then asked, "But recently the business everywhere is not easy to do. Have you heard? The Empire of Heimuguan has entered and is wandering everywhere. Many trips The merchants are not going out. They can still talk to horse thieves in the past, but the Empire never buys anyone's face. "

The pub owner said: "That is of course, the Empire can do a lot of bad things in the east. I have relatives over there. They say that the Empire is more fierce than the worst horse thief."

The dialogue between the two of them caught the attention of some guests around, and one person said: "We all know that the Imperials broke the Blackwood Pass. It is said that Olgas was too shameless to pass the checkpoint to the Tower of China, and then China The Tower is too incompetent and has not kept the checkpoint. For many years, the kingdom has never lost the Blackwood Pass, but now it is gone. "

auzw.com "Despite him so much, it is far away from us anyway." A farmer-like man said carelessly.

"Yeah, but we are remote here and it should be fine." Several other people agreed.

"Especially, Lord Parags guards here, we don't have to worry about anything." Another said.

Xiao Chen said: "Did you hear that the Empire had a plague in Heimuguan? A lot of people died. They sent those sick soldiers to attack villages to make everyone sick. There are many villages nearby. Fighting broke out. "

"I haven't heard of it." Everyone present shook his head, and one of them said: "People in our town rarely go out recently. Lord Baron said it was too dangerous to fight outside, so that everyone would run less. Anyway, the things we grow are also raised. You have to live yourself. "

Another person echoed: "Yes, what is good for us, Master Paragus should know that if he did not tell us the news, it means that we have no need to control these. If he let us stay in the town, then we You should stay obediently. "

Xiao Chen was surprised by their attitude. For most of the places he had visited, the relationship between the lords and the lords could not be said to be harmonious. In many places, the conflict between the two parties was even severe. The lord whips and even executes the rebellious people, or the people resist the lord against the tax riots. But here he found that these people really trusted Baron Paragus.

"It seems that Barragos is good to you?" Xiao Chen asked.

The people around nodded their heads.

"What's a good way?" Xiao Chen asked again.

This time the surrounding atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and the residents looked at each other, and seemed to have some taboo words.

Xiao Chen was deeply surprised by this look. He took a sip of ale and waited for the others to speak. Unexpectedly, those people said nothing more, and went to drink and talk. The pub owner came over and said vaguely: "In fact, it is just a little thing. As long as the lord does not bully everyone, everyone will not oppose the lord and the relationship will not be bad, right?"

"It sounds weird, I don't think a little thing can make everyone trust him so much." Xiao Chen tapped the table gently with his fingers, and the invisible ripples passed out from his fingertips and enveloped him. A range around.

The owner of the pub who wanted to leave without talking, suddenly said to Xiao Chen, "You said the same. In fact, there are some things we don't say to outsiders. I'm afraid to cause trouble to Lord Parags."
