Chapter 276 The 1000 Gold Coins Stolen
During the ten days of training, many people performed very well.
Among them, the little guy Qixi stood out the most.
He is less than 13 years old, in fact, he does not need the strictest military training.
However, after he heard that the best performers in the military training could join the apprentice knights, he exploded with unimaginable enthusiasm.
No one else can pull it.
And with his transcendent talent, at level 2 strength, he is not even lost to the older generation of level 2 powerhouses with big eyes and big ears.
In any respect, he performed extremely well.
It would be no problem for Qixi to join the apprentice knight order.
If it wasn't for Qixi being too young, Li Fan even wanted to give Qixi the leadership of the trainee knights to be built.
But before that, Li Fan still planned to let Anna, Tietou, and Guli take it first.
...
In this way, military training is going on day by day.
The performance of everyone in the territory is getting better and better.
However, on the fifteenth day, Gray suddenly came to the valley, and at the same time, he brought four people in a panic.
These four people are Karen, Ur, Tiri, and Nali, the four merchants who were sent by Li Fan to do business and buy slaves.
...
In the study room of the castle, Li Fan frowned at the embarrassed Karen and the others, and then glanced at Gray.
There is still half a month before the monthly transaction with the mercenary guild. Gray's visit this time is obviously not for the transaction.
Seeing the terrified appearance of Karen and the others, Li Fan had a bad feeling.
Li Fan immediately asked Gray, "What's going on?"
Gray said helplessly: "When they were about to return to Cold Winter City, they 'accidentally' encountered bandits. If they hadn't happened to be met by me, they would have died in the wilderness."
Li Fan said without thinking, "What did Lenny Carton do?"
Gray shrugged, neither nodding nor shaking his head, but his smile confirmed it.
Li Fan took a deep breath.
Cold Winter City is the only way from the Human Empire to the Sin Forest. If you don't pass through Cold Winter City, you can only venture across the border of the Orc Empire or the Dwarf Empire and enter the Sin Forest from these two countries.
The risks in this are too great to work.
And now, Lenny Carton has blocked the road of Cold Winter City, intending to completely kill the connection between their territory and the Terran Empire.
This is undoubtedly the method used by Lenny Carton to disgust Li Fan.
"But, you're looking for death too! Lenny Carton."
Li Fan muttered, his eyes flashed coldly.
...
"After we left the Sin Forest with the goods given by the Lord Lord, we followed Lord Gray through Winter City."
Karen, who lost a lot of weight, told Li Fan about their four business experiences.
"After leaving Cold Winter City, we headed directly towards the human capital with the goods. Although we encountered some thieves on the way, we hired some guards and finally arrived at the imperial capital smoothly."
"Relying on my previous relationship in the imperial capital, we managed to sell some of the products at the beginning."
"Because they are all luxury goods, the benefits are great."
"Because of this, the presence of perfumes, soaps, glass products, and porcelain has attracted the attention of some people. There seems to be a big man behind those people, and they rushed to the hotel in broad daylight to find us."
"They said they wanted to cooperate with us, but they actually wanted us to explain the source of the goods and snatch our goods."
"If it wasn't for His Royal Highness Adele, the star of the empire, who happened to save us, we might be taken away by those people and tortured."
"Afterwards, relying on the letter of introduction from Lord Gray, we hid in the mercenary guild, found an opportunity to rely on disguise, and then escaped from the imperial capital."
"After that, the four of us did not give up on continuing to do business. We took our goods to sell in some small cities."
"Most of the time it went smoothly, and we didn't forget to spread the rumor about the lord in some slums."
"In the end, after we sold all the goods, we earned a total of 1,000 gold coins after deducting expenses."
When Karen and the others said this, their eyes seemed to be shining.
It is difficult for outsiders to understand their feelings at this time. The transaction of 1,000 gold coins was completed in one journey. Speaking out, that is something that a businessman can show off for decades.
Moreover, according to Li Fan's original promise, out of the 1,000 gold coins, 50 gold coins are given to the four of them, which means that each of them can get 12 gold coins and 50 silver coins.
That's 12 gold coins and 50 silver coins. An ordinary family can't make so much money in five years.
And they made that much from just one trade.
How could they not be excited.
"However, just as we bought most of the gold coins for slaves and were about to return through Cold Winter City, a group of bandits suddenly stopped us not far from the gate of Cold Winter City."
"Whether it's slaves or gold coins, they have snatched them all. If they hadn't planned to interrogate our goods, and Lord Gray happened to pass by at this time, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to come back."
As they spoke, the four of Karen all showed expressions of hatred.
He hated not only his almost lost life, but also the lost slaves and gold coins.
The slaves and gold coins are all lost, and now they have no face to ask Li Fan for payment.
The trade they risked their lives to complete could only be in vain in the end.
How can they not hate it.
Li Fan saw Karen's expressions and guessed what they were thinking.
Then he said: "Don't worry, it's not your fault that the slaves and gold coins were robbed. Since I promised you, the 50 gold coins that should be given to you will not be lost because of this."
Li Fan will still need Karen and four to do business for him in the future, so naturally they can't let the four of them feel bad now.
But this loss, Li Fan does not intend to suffer.
"Lenny Carton, you are looking for death!"
After Li Fan said these words, everyone present felt a chill and couldn't help shivering.
They could see that Li Fan was really angry this time.
