Wolf King

The situation in Bolton Territory is quite bad. The main reason is that this place has grown wildly for too many years. After the rise of Valentine next door, the population and economy of Bolton Territory have suffered a serious loss. Viscount.

What's worse is that Bolton has been leaderless for more than ten years... Which noble is willing to wear new shoes and step on the dog?Is it not fun to be a king, or is it not good to live a comfortable life in your own manor?

Laura has been in office for two years, and she has not dealt with the little local nobles who dare to challenge her and provoke her when she has money and people. To a certain extent, it is because there are not many nobles in the local area...

But Laura still wants to run the Bolton Territory well. Philip's family has left Valentine, which has been in business for 30 years, and has broken its original foundation. The name of the first countess, Philip's family is also doomed to end.

Only after realizing the truth that Bolton's collar would perish if the stubborn illness persisted, could Laura make up her mind so quickly... She had originally thought like this, but she was just hesitant.

During the days when she was squatting on Isaac's knight collar, Laura never neglected to pay attention to the Bolton collar.When the letter from the family knight Rupert came up, she knew that it was time for her to face the frontal battlefield.

"The Earl of Cleveland, the Edwin family?"

Isaac read out the two specially named names in the letter from Rupert, with a look of surprise on his face: "Is it these two?"

Laura nodded lightly: "The mayor of Martin Town has offered tens of thousands of gold coins to the Edwin family for 20 years to ensure that his position as mayor is not lost. The mayor of Tal City is too obvious, and the mayor of Martin Town It's always easy to be ignored by people ... at least I was ignored before."

"The estate of the Cleveland family has been handed over to Bolton Territory, and Bolton Territory lacks an earl over the years. Over the years, the Cleveland family's manor has unknowingly encroached on a large piece of fertile land in the southwest of Bolton Territory." Speaking of this, Laura's voice was murderous. , "First of all, find a way to plunder the entire village nearby, or take it away as serfs, or throw it into the mine to fend for itself. No one looks after it, and those good fields will naturally be abandoned. Finally, it will be logical to enclose the wasteland."

Isaac clicked his tongue heavily, this operation is really... In the words of Mr. Ayun, it's quite showy!

"Wait... So, aren't you very dangerous?" Isaac suddenly woke up. He still doesn't know how much Laura has rectified the Bolton collar. Laura firmly grasped the Bolton collar, Doesn't it mean cutting off other people's financial resources?

Laura smiled: "Others grab food from my plate, there is no reason for me, as the master, to back down."

Isaac: "..."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but these days when the teacher came to lead the knight, this elementary school girl feels more and more domineering and sideways.

"Well... I think you should be more careful." After hesitating for a while, Isaac persuaded, "After Harris and the spellcasters of the cat clan leave, there will be fewer people around you."

"I understand. In Philip's generation, there are many ambitious people, but few are really talented." Laura leaned back in the chair, propped her elbows and raised her chin, with a slightly cold expression, "I plan to send a Group people to travel and study on the grasslands, at least to see the outside world, so they can play a role when they come back, at least not to insult the surname Philip."

It took Isaac a few more seconds of thinking to understand what Laura meant, and he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

He originally intended to advise Laura to be more careful, but Laura thought about it deeper than him: external enemies are easy to guard against, but internal thieves are really hard to guard against.It's better to send the unstable elements far away for the time being, and hold the inside tightly together, so as not to give the outside thieves a chance to attack.

The people who can be favored by the teacher are not simple characters...

The two seniors had a chat and finalized the details of the cooperation—although Laura’s Bolton collar was quite embarrassed under the pressure of Valentine’s halo next door, it was not without its advantages: Geographically, if you enter the Western Continent by land , Bolton Collar is a suitable land transportation hub.

The best land in the Western Continent is in the hands of the Dwarf Kingdom, but the Western Continent is not limited to only the Dwarves... There are also many forest tribes living in the vast forest bordering the Southern Continent.Isaac shouldered the task of promoting products for the grassland tribes, so he naturally wanted to open up land trade routes as far as possible.

On the other side, Xiao Yun was also instructing the centaur Marcel.

"The agricultural machinery purchased by these Cronin nobles is the first order of business for our centaur express." The knight led the warehouse in the third district, and Xiao Yun patted the agricultural machinery products disassembled into parts, "Transportation, assembly, follow-up maintenance, They are all the business content of our Centaur Express. Anyway, these things are very durable, and there are no major problems in the first three years of use, even if we have completed the task."

The centaur Marcel and his tribe nodded solemnly.

The centaurs are ugly for ugly, irritable for irritable, but there is nothing wrong with their intelligence. They can also learn the simple maintenance and repair of tractors and agricultural machinery that the snow wolf tribe can learn.

When he came out this time, Saier brought out all the clansmen who were not too old or too young, and who were not missing arms or legs... Uh, it was more than 200 and less than [-].There's no way, it's not easy to keep such a group of vital forces after suffering disasters for the Tiger Clan for so many years.

"Searle, you are the best at math. You pay more attention to the accounts, and check often to avoid mistakes. After all, we are selling this thing with several accounts. You centaurs will have a share, and Viscount Pope, a local snake, will also have a share. .If you want to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship, the less you can make mistakes in the accounts.”

"I understand, Ayun." Saier said solemnly.

In the past few years in the Ministry of Fire, it is not that Saier has not thought about the future of the centaur... If they have a larger population, they can slowly grow and develop with the snow wolf clan like the cat clan and the snake clan; Dwarves and goblins have special skills, and they can also mix well.

It's a pity that they have no production skills, and the population is withered, and the whole clan is old, weak, sick, and disabled. They can't make up 500 people. The Snow Wolf Clan really treats them like the Cat Clan and Snake Clan. The truth is that the longer the time, the more they will be left behind by other races - with their population, how can it be possible to compete with cats and snakes in the supply of raw materials!

Centaurs also have self-esteem, how could they be willing to play themselves as a little transparent with no sense of existence!

The longer he has been educated in the Ministry of Fire, the clearer Purcell is that any race or group needs to be needed by others, and must become an indispensable part of a certain field, so that the future of this race and group can be guaranteed .

Xiao Yun raised his hand and patted Saier's shoulder on the horse's body (the shoulders of a human body are too high to reach), and said with a smile: "The land area of ​​Cronin is only two provinces... it's only as big as the southwest border of the grassland, and it takes a long time to walk back and forth. It’s not too strenuous. Of course, they are not as flat as the grasslands here, but people live on the flat ground as much as possible, and there is no reason to drill into deep mountains and old forests.”

"Where the human carriages can go, you can go. Where you can go, our goods can go. Where our goods can be sold depends on whether our centaur express is good enough."

"Since it's a courier, it can't be too slow. From Valentine to the farthest southwestern border of Cronin, the round trip can't take more than a month. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" Purcell and several centaur warriors shouted in unison.

"Okay! Be courageous! Then let's go see the client now!" Xiao Yun slapped his hands and took the lead to leave.

The centaur warriors turned around neatly and followed...

It’s been half a month since the knights led the team. In order not to scare people, the centaurs have been squatting near the warehouse in the third district near the port. The workers ran away in fright.

"Monster ah ah ah ah!!"

"Help, mom!"

Tools such as shovels, sand baskets and the like were thrown all over the place, and the workers ran a hundred meters away at the slowest speed. Only the overseer who was too late to stop was left on the construction site that was originally in full swing...

The adventurer in the original Isaac regiment and the current construction site supervisor looked over with the corners of his mouth twitching: "..."

Xiao Yun & the centaurs: "..."

"Well, it's okay, our Snow Wolf Clan was treated similarly earlier." Xiao Yun said to Sell with a calm expression.

Purcell: "..."

The centaurs have thick hair, and women have breasts. After living with the Fire Department, Xiao Yun naturally couldn't let them run wild. They all matched the same style as the Snow Wolf Clan, and Evelyn personally made the version of the forest elf style sun. Cloth suit, although the horse's face is still ugly, but at least the clothes add a lot of points...

However, the appearance of human body + horse body is still too scary...

Xiao Yun, who said he was fine, silently led the centaurs around the path.

After scaring away countless innocent people who took a detour all the way, several centaur warriors finally came to the hotel in the first district with difficulty...

The doormen and waiters in the hotel did not scream out of face, but ran extremely fast, before Xiao Yun raised his hand, these guys ran so fast that they couldn't even see their shadows.

"Well... think about it in a better way. When the bandits and road bandits don't get close when they return to deliver the goods, they will be scared away before they get close. It can save a lot of trouble."

Xiao Yun said to Sale quite optimistically.

Purcell & Centaur Warriors: "..."

Entering the hotel lobby, a snow wolf tribe warrior, a noble couple and their servants came in front of them.

In places where patriarchy is dominant, banquets and dinners are indispensable, and the snow wolf warriors who have become the stars of the game will inevitably be invited to accompany them to sit at the banquet by various means and channels.

Xiao Yun let them go at ease, not worried about their accident at all... Snow Werewolf doesn't like drinks that can paralyze the nerves, besides, pouring alcohol on starlets is not the same thing as pouring alcohol on Tyson and Johnson.

"Ayun, Saier!" The snow wolf warrior who had accompanied several rounds of dinners and wines had no sense of being betrayed by Xiao Yun. Just enough.

Purcell smiled back, and saw that the noble couple hid behind the snow wolf warriors in seconds with the agility not to lose to the cat warriors...

Entering the inner hall, the aristocratic gentlemen and noble ladies who are of good quality and chatted in the guest seats quietly paid attention to the centaur warriors, did not scream, did not run away, but looked terrified as if seeing a tiger running towards them Like taking a walk in the bedroom.

Passing through the inner hall and entering the hotel courtyard, Xiao Yun was silent for a moment, and said to Saier: "You said that if the tauren came to the human kingdom as a guest, would they not even be able to enter the city gate?"

Purcell & Warriors: "..."

Thinking about it this way, the centaurs actually feel a little bit better... The ugly centaurs have never lost, but compared to the brutal and terrifying, the tauren seems to be better.

Among the first business objects of "Centaur Express", there are two most important ones, one is Prince Maurice, and the other is the son of the Duke.

The biggest client, Prince Maurice, has no fiefdom, and the thirty-odd sets of agricultural machinery he bought with huge sums of money are intended to be brought back to the capital to be a second-hand dealer...Anyway, no one else dares to compete with him.

Xiao Yun led Saier to meet the big client. Prince Morris, who was waiting at his place, suddenly saw a dozen ugly and distinctive centaurs.Except for his eyes not drifting to where the centaurs were, he looked very calm.

On the contrary, the Viscount Pope who was sitting with him was a little pale and his facial muscles were a little stiff—although Xiao Yun took him to meet Saier in advance, this kind of race that violates human aesthetics still challenges the bottom line of the Viscount’s acceptance. .

During the three-party talks, the details of the handover that had been finalized in advance were briefly mentioned. Before Viscount Pope's acceptance reached its limit, Xiao Yun obediently led the centaur warriors away and continued to the next family.

A group of big, ugly and horrifying aliens disappeared. Prince Maurice's face was flushed, his eyes were shining, and he actually asked Viscount Pope, "Are those ugly monsters for sale?"

Viscount Pope made a "poof" and sprayed the tea he had drunk to calm himself on the spot.

"Your Highness, this really won't work..."

In another "small villa", the duke's son sat halfway through with a calm expression, pleaded guilty, got up and left the seat, handed over the details of the approval task to the housekeeper, and then never came back...

In the next house, a couple of earls who came to Bolton to enjoy the play and bought a few sets of agricultural machinery by the way, disappeared into the room at a speed of [-] meters sprinting the next moment Purcell lowered his head and entered the room.

After finally finishing the customer visit work, and returning to the secluded and uninhabited warehouse area of ​​the third district, Saier looked suspicious: "Ayun, can we really develop in Cronin...?"

"Of course. We met with so many families. Although most of the masters ran away and did not meet, none of them proposed to suspend the delivery contract!" Xiao Yun still had a confident look, and plausibly said, "What does this mean? ?It shows that customers have great confidence in the business capabilities of our Centaur Express and believe that we can deliver their valuables to their doorsteps, which is enough!"

"We are doing business with them. What we rely on is business ability~! We rely on strength to make a living, and it doesn't matter whether we have good looks or not!"

"Our centaur warriors stand in front of the customer. This professional ability is simply a tattoo engraved on the face. Isn't that very appropriate~!"

"I'm only popular with customers but don't have the slightest feather ability. What's that called, that's called a little boy! Who are we to eat that bowl of soft rice?"

"So, appearance is not important~!"

Purcell stared at the dead fish eyes: "..."

So you also think that our appearance is negative, don't you...

Two days later.

Harris, Xiaorui and others returned to the Knights' Land, and found that the main entrance of the first district of the Knights' Land was very empty, and there was no flow of people in the past.

"What happened?" Everyone in the Snake & Cat Clan felt tense, and hurriedly quickened their pace...

At the main entrance of District [-], where you enter the main street, there is a vegetable market for nearby farmers and villagers. It is the best time for the market’s business in the early morning every day. Today, there are no vegetable vendors or merchant workers who buy fresh vegetables. A convoy is loading.

"Sell!" Xiaorui greeted, and trotted forward, "When did you come here, what are you pretending to be?" Looking around, "Why is there no one today, only you? It wasn't like this when we came last time .”

Saier, who had just shown a surprised expression, covered his chest in pain, ready to strike a friendly attack.

"...We came with Ayun to help deliver the goods." After a pause, Sale said sadly, "Because we are loading cars here, there is no one else."

"Eh? Why?" Xiaorui blinked her round eyes innocently.

Selmu didn't explain, Harris & the snakes stared blankly at the stupid black panther.

"So you're going to stay here and not go back to the grassland?" Another leopard said regretfully, "You have to leave just after we came, so when will you go back to the grassland?"

"It's not that I won't return. Ayun said that we are here to deliver the goods, and our products will sell better. We will rotate back when we are not too busy." Saier is very grateful to the cat clan for not looking at them with special eyes. I didn't feel it when I was in the Fire Department, but only after I came out did I realize how warm and cold people are...

"Alright, you centaurs are quite suitable for delivering goods." Xiaorui raised her hand and patted Saier's strong horse with a smile.

"It's changed. The best alloy steel hoof just came out in the Qiuling New District." Saier raised his front hoof to let Xiaorui see the nailed hoof. "We brought a spare one out, and we can replace it ourselves Ayun gave us full consideration, don't worry."

The cat tribe was a little reluctant to part with the centaur, and took the initiative to stay and help load the car; the snake tribe saw that the situation was not good and left by themselves, so they also helped.

"Harris, Xiaorui, are you back?" Xiao Yun came over to see the loading situation, and saw a group of big cats, long snakes and centaurs mixed together.

"Ah Yun!" Xiaorui put the cargo box away and rushed towards Xiao Yun happily.

Follower Isaac's eyes shone brightly, and his concentration instantly increased by 100%.

Xiao Yun stretched out his arms with a smile, and hugged this black-skinned girl who looked like a handsome boy.

Isaac's expression was 100% serious in an instant, and there seemed to be a dark cloud behind him...

"How's it going in Bolton Territory?" Xiao Yun didn't notice the gloomyness of his disciple at all, and slapped away the leopard who was about to pounce.

For male creatures, regardless of their race, Xiao Yun has always been fair...

Isaac looked complicated for a moment.

"Play...!!" The cats were 100% emotional in an instant.

"It's not for fun!" Xiaorui excitedly.

"That's right, it's not fun at all!" Huabao said loudly.

Xiao Yun looked at Harris strangely: "What's the matter, Harris, Rupert didn't treat you well?"

"Invite...!!" The faces of the snake clan also began to twitch.

"How should I put it..." Harris' face was indescribable, "In the past six months, it feels like everyone has gathered all the unpleasant things that can be seen in a lifetime..."

"Oh——" Xiao Yun looked at the cat clan who suffered and hated deeply, and then at the snake clan who also suffered and hated deeply. He chuckled and forcibly poured rancid chicken soup on everyone. I have learned a lot, which is a good thing. A true warrior is one who dares to face the bloody life, but still cheers up and is full of hope for tomorrow~”

Centaur & Cat Clan & Snake Clan: "..."

This sounds so complicated...

Xiao Yun raised his hand and patted Harris on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, take a good rest for two days and let's go home together. Work harder on the way, write what you see and hear in a diary-style composition, and contribute to our social class." The textbooks are well-stocked."

In the first half, Harris was still relaxed, but in the second half, Harris' face changed...

"No, we have to write too?" Xiaorui nervously.

Xiao Yun turned his head to look at her, smiled, and said word by word: "Everyone writes. It is a rare opportunity to get in touch with human society in depth. Of course, we must share this precious experience with everyone. We must not be selfish."

Xiaorui was instantly frustrated and bent forward, and the other cats and snakes also showed angry and unspeakable expressions... How rare, rare and precious!Is it okay to give it up to others! !

Elder Greg wanted to ask if he could make an exception, but he kept his mouth shut after thinking about the style of the Snow Wolf Clan.

"Well, I almost forgot." Xiao Yun looked at the centaurs who were watching the excitement, "Don't forget to keep your spirit of learning on the way to deliver the goods, especially the diary, write at least [-] words every day."

Centaurs: "?!"

——Life is already so difficult, why hurt us! !

Xiao Yun was very calm, completely ignoring everyone's expressions of resistance...

It doesn’t matter if you are a snake, a cat, or a centaur, learn our knowledge, use our characters, have paid and gained in our knowledge system (if you don’t pay and gain, it’s easy to be a white-eyed wolf, no matter what it is), live it For 200 years and [-] years, as long as the Snow Wolf Clan doesn't cripple your own family, you will still be our own... Ahem.

The centaur warriors brought goods that could be delivered on the same route, maps accurate to the countryside (provided by the bard association), consumables such as dry food and seasoning along the way (be prepared that it will be difficult to resupply halfway), special Put on a simple tent, put on light armor specially tailored for them, carry a longbow and quiver on your back, and unfurl the courier trademark flag, and set off for the destination.

The long motorcade disappeared at the end of the road, and the closed merchants could not see the figures of these monsters from the windows and doors, so they opened the shop carefully...

About half an hour later, the vegetable market morning market, which was postponed for two hours, became lively...

The cats didn't see this scene with their own eyes, and they didn't understand the pain of the centaur for the time being. After helping the centaur to load the car, they were shocked to find out why the snow wolf didn't come to help. The warriors of the Snow Wolf Clan were surrounded by at least dozens of humans, unable to move an inch!

Especially when passing by the Grand Theater Square, Xiaohua, who was surrounded by at least a hundred people, saw them from a distance and waved hello with difficulty, but was overwhelmed by the excited crowd...

Snake Clan & Cat Clan: "...??"

Obviously everyone is a beastman, but you sneaked away quietly and gained the reputation of the human race? !

"Not everyone is popular, do you see that I am walking around, has anyone given me eyes?" Xiao Yun spread his hands, "The same goes for Qingcao, walking on the street, people stared at her, and found that it was not The star players of the game don't pay attention to her, it's more embarrassing than me."
