Chapter 76 Tokta's Choice
"Although in our opinion, these guys are undoubtedly thieves, in the eyes of the local lords, their identities are more of the villagers in nearby villages!"
Tokta's words were full of bitterness: "Mr. Yu, you don't know that when these people first started to organize the robbery of passing caravans, the caravans had resisted.╡w{ww.. At the beginning, the guards of a caravan only killed a villager in the conflict, so the surrounding villages men, women, young and old all went into battle to directly surround the caravan and sued the lord!"
"What do you think of the lord?"
As soon as he heard the Tokta question, Sui Yu understood that the caravan must have suffered a loss in the end. Then he replied with a strange expression: "Did the lord even convict the caravan of self-defense at fault?"
"Although each beats fifty boards, the lord finally characterizes the incident as a conflict between the caravan and the villagers' livelihood! Yes, villagers! In the eyes of the lord, these people are villagers under his rule, and they are not thieves at all! And the caravan did not dare to pass by here afterwards, because as long as he came, these villagers would continue to surround them and prevent them from giving in. In the end, the caravan had to leave this trade route. Of course, thanks to these villagers, the number of caravans heading to Bryce Town has been greatly reduced, so that I could run on this trade route for two years. Unfortunately, today's leader is not the usual person, otherwise it would not have been this kind of trouble!"
Tokta said this and looked around, the dazzling blood redness around him made his face pale. Then Tokta continued to say to Sui Yu: "I don't know if it should be lucky or unfortunate. These guys seemed to have lost their vigilance because of the long-term robbery. In the chaos just now, no one would call for people. Otherwise, we would be surrounded by a large group of old and young villagers. You said, facing those villagers with old and young, can you still kill them?!"
"Yes!" Sui Yu's words almost choked Tokta to death, and then Sui Yu continued, "Eliminating all evil things. Since these people choose to die, let them really die! I don't believe it. I just defend myself and eliminate the robbers blocking the road. The lord can really issue a wanted order to protect these robbers!"
Perhaps it is because in Sui Yu's original world, virtual games were too real to save resources (the problem faced by the virtual game technology that directly connects Yaoguang is to invest more resources to make the game fake, because the information received by Yaoguang will automatically convert it into information that conforms to the human cognition. It is extremely easy to do it, but it is difficult to do it fake. However, if you want to do it fake, it requires too much system resources. Therefore, in the virtual game exhibition, many games were divided into various levels, and Sui Yu's "Chaos World" was a restricted-level game that only adults with firm minds could enter). Therefore, Sui Yu, who was used to blood and killing, seemed a little cold-blooded when facing killing. In his opinion, these villagers who were trying to kill them will be killed. What psychological burden does it need?
Of course, perhaps subconsciously, Sui Yu has never integrated into this other world, so he subconsciously regarded most people in the other world as creatures or NPCs that are not the same race as him, which made him so easily say things like killing all the villagers.
However, no matter what Sui Yu said, his words completely suppressed Tokta. At this time, Tokta truly appeared. The person standing in front of him was not a kind man and a trustworthy woman! Although Sui Yu looked kind and made people unable to help but let go of their guard (I believe everyone understands the reason for letting go of their guard), its essence is still a strong man who regards human life as a mustard!
At this time, Tokta was a little afraid to say anything to Sui Yu, the tycoon, to avoid causing trouble...?
At this time, Sui Yu waved his hand and said to Tokta with an indifferent look on his face: "All! All! It won't be a problem! Since we have destroyed all this group of people, as long as we are cleaner, no one will know that these guys have been destroyed by us!"
Seeing that Sui Yu had already begun to arrange for the war girls to clean up the battlefield, a large number of corpses were put into the space ring (Sui Yu is a necromancer. Although the robbers who were guest-starring in these villagers had no use when they were alive, they could only endanger society, but after death, they could be transformed into skeletons or zombies to work in Sui Yu's mine, which was considered as a use of the things. As for resurrection? Sui Yu had never thought about resurrecting these greedy guys. Do you know if these guys will bite back like ungrateful wolves after they were resurrected!). The blood was also quickly absorbed into a large blood ball by the little girl named Wendy using water magic to quickly absorb it into a large blood ball and then put it away. Soon, except for a little messy scene, there were no corpses and blood stains.
But Tokta still complained to Sui Yu with a miserable look on his face: "It would be great if it was really that simple!"
Seeing Sui Yu's confusion, Tokta explained directly: "This trade route is not very good and low. Therefore, the number of caravans running this line is limited. If these villagers report to the lord, the lord only needs to find out what caravans have passed by recently and whether there are corresponding accounts in the village to easily lock our identity! At most, the lord cannot directly cause trouble for us because of the villagers' actions, but I want to continue to hang in Black's lord in the future, especially if I want to run this line again, it is probably impossible!"
"I really didn't expect that even robbers have to make a bill these days!" Sui Yu nodded in a clear way and patted Black on the shoulder comfortably and said to him with a heavy face: "Then you should leave Black's collar after you finish this ticket."
When Tokta heard this, he was so melancholy on his face. Sure enough, he, the caravan leader, was the one who was unlucky in the end!
"Out!" The depressed Tokta decisively ordered to continue moving forward after Sui Yu cleaned the battlefield. He did not leave at this time. If a villager came to check and found something strange, he might not be able to leave at that time!
He didn't want to watch the scene where Sui Yu and other ruthless people massacred all the villagers. By then, he probably wouldn't be able to stay in the entire Taraya Kingdom, let alone in Black's territory!
After getting on the road, Tokta was still trying to open it. Although this trade route has been smooth, recently, due to his frequent trips to those villages to purchase mountain goods, the villages have joined forces to raise prices, which has made him less profitable. Now that he has caught up with this, he can simply give up this trade route!
I have to admit that as the leader of the caravan, Tokta is a person who can take it and let it go. Since he knew that the trade route was abandoned, he simply took out the map he collected and began to study how to go about the next business trip.
Maybe I felt a little embarrassed. Sui Yu did not return to the carriage this time, but rode an old horse (the caravan with a way can obtain some old horses for pulling carriages or transportation. However, young horses, especially mares, cannot be obtained because they are military control items). He followed Tokta to study with him.
Then Sui Yu pointed at the locations of Jim Village and Kalan Village with some curiosity and said to Tokta: "Have you ever been to this area? The living conditions in the villages there seem to be not very good, and there should be little money, but each of them has more or less a lot of mountain goods. ═. [."
Sui Yu still remembers that when Philomina asked to exchange the resources in Karan Village for food, the villagers took out a lot of animal skins, bones and various herbs for exchange. Although most of the things were worthless to Avalon, Sui Yu found similar things in the caravan's cargo.
This shows that those things that Sui Yu thought were useless were actually very valuable, so he told what he saw and heard in the two villages and specially pointed out the locations of Jim Village and Karan Village on the map for Tokta.
After seeing the location that Sui Yu pointed out, Tokta said to Sui Yu as he realized: "It turned out to be closer to the Cursed Mountains! There should be a lot of more pioneering villages there! And many merchants are worried that they would be cursed when approaching the Cursed Mountains and lose all their money. So there are really not many caravans in that direction. The villages where I collect mountain goods are actually closer to the Cursed Mountains, but they are not as close as they are. However, after Mr. Yu reminded me, I suddenly realized that the newly established pioneer villages over there do have a lot of business opportunities! And when I return next time, I only need to take a little roundabout way and move forward with the Cursed Mountains, it should be able to pass through several newly established villages. Not only can I open up the market, but I should also receive a lot of backlog of mountain goods or other materials!"
Tokta said while pointing on the map, quickly drawing a slightly curved route to Karan Village.
After snapping his fingers, Tokta said to Sui Yu excitedly: "It's really feasible! The villages I cooperate with are constantly raising prices, which has led to my profits becoming less and less and even to an unsustainable level. I was already a little hesitant to stop and find out if there are any other trade routes after finishing this trip. I was just worried that changing the route might be more unworthy, and I also promised that the next trip would definitely provide goods so that I couldn't make up my mind. But now it's OK. Since this trade route may be closed, I'll just change the trade route and show it!"
After Tokta's slightly excited explanation, Sui Yu realized that Tokta had actually wanted to change its trade route.
It turned out that the trade route he was running now was close to the Cursed Mountains, and no caravan was willing to come over in the past.
Two years ago, Tokta brought the caravan to the innermost villages of this trade route and brought some intimate goods in the mountain villages. Initially, by bartering, Tokta bought some mountain goods that were not valuable locally from the villagers, and since then it opened up this trade route that was unpopular at the time.
Through the sales of Tokta, more and more caravans have followed the trend of buying along the trade routes developed by Tokta in the past two years. Although Tokta's caravan is the largest caravan among all caravans and the price is also very reasonable, some small caravans compete maliciously and guide local public opinion through deliberately walking and false news. In addition, villagers who have already taken Tokta's money to buy mountain goods as a matter of course have finally joined forces to raise prices. I hope to get more benefits from Tokta.
Merchants are all profit-seeking, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, it is just an objective law of the development of things. So after the profits are reduced, Tokta was finally forced to look for a new business path.
But the pioneers are the most difficult, and once the market is really opened, you don’t have to think about it. Some flies who like to follow the trend will join in, which will lead to no money in the end. In addition, with Tokta’s experience, they cannot find new business opportunities for a while, so Tokta led their caravan and had to pinch their noses and recognize this time after being notified by the villagers to raise prices, and plan to go to Elna Port to discuss the price increase with the next company.
To be honest, although the merchant is pursuing profits, Tokta is also very concerned about integrity, because it has signed an agreement with the next company in the past, and it is really not easy to increase the price. Tokta is already ready for a small profit this time. Even if it wants to increase the price, it can only wait for the next company to sell this goods and then increase the price next time.
But it was raining all night long. Tokta's business trip, which was originally a small profit, was still unlucky. On the way, he encountered a beast disaster with five highly poisonous flame scorpions at the same time!
Tokta really regretted it at that time. If he had known that when he heard that the mercenary world in Bryce Town was subjected to a destructive blow, he should have made a decision to delay the situation. However, at this point, Tokta could only pinch his nose and continue the journey.
However, Tokta's business trip was actually destined to lose money. Because the funeral expenses of the guards and the pensions to his family were not decimal, Tokta probably had to use the old money he had finally accumulated!
But the entire team still has to continue. If this transaction is not completed, Tokta may go bankrupt.
Fortunately, Sui Yu and his strong men agreed to accept employment at the price of just 200 silver coins, which was a great help to Tokta!
When talking about this, Tokta thanked Sui Yu repeatedly with gratitude, which made Sui Yu look embarrassed - don't forget that the disaster in the mercenary world in Bryce Town was caused by Sui Yu himself. In other words, half of the reason why Tokta was so unlucky was actually cheated by Sui Yu!
Then, Tokta, who thought he had taken advantage of the situation, led the team for less than a day, but unexpectedly, because of the violent temper of Sui Yu and others, he suddenly killed many villagers in the bandit village.
This trade route is destined to be unable to go, otherwise Tokta believes. Even if the lord of Black's territory understands that it is a thief village that is in trouble, it will not cause trouble for him to Tokta, the villagers of the thief village will never let him go easily. If he dares to come, there will definitely be no possibility of leaving this area alive!
Sui Yu felt even more embarrassed. It seems that more than half of the reason for Tokta is that he was cheated by Sui Yu, and it seems that he was cheated quite miserably!
Fortunately, Sui Yu's words woke up the dreamer and gave Tokta a clear path. Even if the profits of this trade route may not be very generous, and the sustainability may not last long, at least it has found a pretty good business opportunity for Tokta's caravan.
"I want to take a look. If I leave me, how much goods can those small caravans eat? Increase the price? Let the villagers experience it well. If they force me away, will they make a profit or lose money!"
After hearing Tokta's words, Sui Yu shook his head slightly. It seemed that no matter which world it is in, greed is the original sin of mankind. He just didn't know who the villagers who expected Tokta to buy mountain goods at high prices like suckers would resent who would resent when no one bought the mountain goods? Is it Tokta or themselves? Or are they resenting these bandit villages that occupied the mountains and collected tolls for the king?
But those things have nothing to do with Sui Yu!
The journey after that finally became calm. Since most of the roads were plains, and as villages and towns became more and more prosperous, public security became better and better, so that Sui Yu and the others had no chance to sway.
So Sui Yu hid in the carriage every day, either chatting with Ai Xue or using the willpower exercise method provided by Ruisi 9.o official version to cultivate the willpower.
No matter what, in this world where the strong are respected, strength is the foundation of everything!
Of course, the space in the carriage is large enough, so the Zhan Ji also took turns to practice with Sui Yu while rushing to the road. Although he didn't say anything, for the Zhan Ji, being able to sit close to Sui Yu to practice is already the greatest grace.
This plain but fulfilling journey has passed in a flash, and Port Elna is about to arrive.
On this day, Sui Yu sat in the carriage and drank fragrant coffee after finishing his practice, while enjoying the scenery outside through the car window. His life was so comfortable.
Speaking of which, Sui Yu really didn't prepare coffee when he traveled this time. Although the coffee in this world has the same name after being translated, the taste is very different. Anyway, Sui Yu can't stand the taste.
So he stayed in a small town in the caravan. Sui Yu said in his sleep that he wanted to drink coffee and was cast by Millie, who had used the rabbit ear magic, heard it again, and Philomina specially contacted Angelina through Angelina's clone, Shadow Magic, and asked the latter to immediately buy a batch of excellent coffee from the Materials Exchange and send someone to transport it overnight.
So the next day, Sui Yu drank a strong coffee early in the morning. After asking, he found out that in order to transport this batch of coffee, Avalon specially used a long-distance teleportation array to send several war girls who had mastered wind magic according to the space coordinates provided by Hakeya.
When Sui Yu drank coffee, the war girls had already used their flight techniques to leave.
Of course, those war girls also had the task of going to the Griffin Empire to explore the virtual and real Magic Academy. When they came here, they only made an extra turn and did not delay anything. Sui Yu really didn't say much about this. At most, he felt a little sorry for the Chaos Gold Coins consumed by buying coffee - the gold coins earned in previous tasks were easily offset by this batch of coffee.
However, waste is always shameful. Since there is coffee, Sui Yu sips coffee every day and enjoys the beautiful scenery along the way. Although his life is a bit decadent, he is enjoying himself.
However, this world seemed to be full of excitement everywhere. Sui Yu didn't enjoy his decadent life for long. Just when he had just finished halfway through the coffee in the cup, he was about to continue to ask Ai Xue for the magic foundation of this world (although Sui Yu thought his intelligence was not as good as Rui Si, and could not study anything by combining the magic knowledge of the two worlds, he also wanted to have a rough understanding of the magic system of this world through Ai Xue), the carriage stopped again.
Accompanied by a hurried knock on the door, Mili's excited voice rang again: "Sir Yu, we are robbing again!"
