Early the next morning.
Kant woke up on his own initiative, opened his eyes, and was extremely energetic.
I drank a lot yesterday.
Although the alcohol content is lower, it is similar to beer. With his 16-year-old body, he can't bear too much alcoholic beverages, but now he feels refreshed, as if there is no difference.
This is because it has been systematically transformed and infused with a Swadian knight-level body.
Peed a few times last night.
Basically flush out all the alcohol in your body.
After putting on his clothes, Kant felt that his whole body seemed to be full of inexhaustible strength. He shook his neck, and the subtle "click" sound could be heard endlessly, and at the same time brought the comfort of early morning activities.
"Dang Dang Dang."
The door was knocked lightly.
At the same time, Manid's voice sounded: "Lord Kant, according to the plan, we should set off."
"Understood." Kant nodded.
"Good morning, Lord Kant."
Looking around the room, nothing was left behind, and he opened the door. Outside, Manid and 10 Salander riders as guards were waiting. Seeing Kant coming out, he quickly bowed his head and said hello.
"Okay." Kant nodded.
He walked ahead quickly, and at the same time asked Manid: "Have you told Uncle Dylan about our departure? I don't want Uncle Dylan to wake up in the morning and find that we left without saying goodbye. Disrespectful things will make it very difficult for me to do."
"It's all been arranged." Manid replied: "Baron Dylan should be waiting for us at the gate of the mansion."
Kant said, "It's good that Uncle Dylan knows."
Early morning.
The servants in the mansion have also woken up.
The already clean and tidy passage and the handicrafts placed on both sides are being cleaned.
have to say.
Baron Dylan made a fortune recently, and all the handicrafts in the mansion have been replaced with brand new ones. In Kant's view, there are still many of the most famous silver handicrafts in the Silver Plate Kingdom. Although they are imitations, they are fully used All kinds of exquisite animals or plants are cast from silver and placed on the booth, which also represents wealth.
This is not common in the originally impoverished Stone Pass.
Accompanied by the respectful greetings all the way, Kant came to the door of the mansion.
As soon as he walked out of the mansion, he saw Baron Dylan standing outside, with more than 10 vassal knights behind him, with a smile on his face, and he came over to give him a hug: "Little Kant, just came to Uncle Dylan so short Time, I have to leave Jianshi Pass, it really makes me a little bit sad."
"The territory is still very complicated, and I don't want to leave so early." Kant also hugged Baron Dylan, with a deep nostalgia on his face, and sighed softly: "I really don't want to go back."
Baron Dylan smiled when he heard this.
However, he still seemed to be kind to Kant and said: "That is your territory. If you go out often, if you are known by those nobles in South County, they will deprive you of your lordship. They are very cruel."
"them?"
Kant snorted and said unwillingly: "Even if I am not the lord of the Nalun Desert, who would go to be the lord in that desert? Those damned guys would not abandon the rich South County to eat sand in the desert !"
The smile on Baron Dylan's face widened even more.
But he still turned his head, pointed at the pile of things behind and said, "Little Kant, I know that your territory is dangerous, so I prepared a gift for you, I hope you like it."
"Thank you so much, Uncle Dylan." Kant was grateful.
"50 iron swords, 150 spears, 200 sets of leather armor, 10 bows, and 1,000 feathered arrows." Baron Dylan said with a smile: "Although there are not many, it can arm many people."
"Thank you very much!" Kant nodded gratefully: "Uncle Dylan, these can already arm 200 soldiers, which is really important to me now."
After a pause, Kant continued to ask with some embarrassment: "Uncle Dylan, can you provide more feather arrows? I also lack such things now. Those gnolls are like wild beasts. If there is no bow and arrow to help them shoot, they will If you rush up directly, you won't get too many reactions at all, after all, there are not many soldiers protecting my territory, and we all rely on archers."
"Hmm, Feather Arrow?" Baron Dylan looked embarrassed: "Manid also mentioned it to me at the time."
"Uncle Dylan, I can pay for it!" Kant sighed softly: "Except for you, I don't know who can buy these feathered arrows, especially now that you leave the territory, if the remaining soldiers don't have the help of archers, they can only be killed. Those jackals are close, and there will be casualties every day, and it can only depend on you."
"There are not many feathered arrows in my territory."
Baron Dylan seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Kant: "I will arrange a caravan to purchase a batch of feather arrows from other lords, and then sell them to you at the original price, so that you can protect your territory .”
"Thank you so much!" Kant bowed his head in gratitude.
"We're close!" Baron Dylan reiterated.
The two continued to laugh.
Kant was sincere, while Baron Dylan was a bit complacent, as well as mocking and disdainful in his eyes.
For him, it is really easy to purchase Feather Arrows.
But why did he purchase too many feather arrows for Kant? Only when Kant's power is consumed in the Nalun Desert can he show a more useful identity and plan more!
The two exchanged a few words before saying goodbye to each other.
Baron Dylan sent Kant to the city gate all the way.
It wasn't until Kant's 40 Salander riders escorted the 30 camels full of food that they disappeared into the slightly rugged canyon that he finally returned. With a strong mockery and pride on his face in the mansion, he listened to the steward's reunion. Reporting the thousands of large silver coins obtained this time, he laughed happily.
In his opinion, he undoubtedly made a profit.
And it is true.
Kant left the gap in the Sanwaya Mountains and returned to the vast desert.
Continue along the way you came.
However, after walking for two or three hours, he turned his team around and walked eastward. Looking at the majestic Sangwaya Mountains not far away, Kant had a slightly mocking expression on his face.
"Look at my Uncle Dylan, do you think this will make me grateful enough to join him?"
Kant shook his head and chuckled, and the sarcasm in his eyes became more and more intense: "He is indeed a warrior nobleman. Even in the South County, those old and cunning century-old nobles would not use this little trick, because it is simply too deliberate. If It's not that I performed very well, I used actor-level performances to perfectly maintain the show, and I guess it would have been exposed long ago."
Manid rode behind him, shrugging slightly.
He doesn't know what an actor is.
But he knew what Kant meant, so he couldn't help laughing: "But he helped us block our sight, especially the so-called Ritesi knight, who was sent by Viscount Wayne to test him."
"It's not us who are worried." Kant chuckled, "It's my Uncle Dylan."
With the increase of salt trade.
The huge profits were swallowed by Baron Dylan, and he became fatter and fatter.
Those greedy nobles will certainly not choose to remain indifferent.
The temptation is certain.
Even various methods, schemes, and even force will appear near the rocky pass of Baron Dylan one by one, making Dylan, who has taken three-quarters of the profits, miserable.
But it is absolutely impossible for him to give up these profits.
Especially since he has already tasted the sweetness of these profits, it is even more impossible for him to give it away.
those nobles.
Nor will it be content to dispense a small amount of sweetness.
There is no end to greed, and if you get a little, you will get more. Even if Baron Dylan divides a small profit, but for others, they want to eat more profits, bit by bit, In the end, Baron Dylan can't bear it anymore and reacts.
Or turn against those nobles and use force to decide the outcome on the battlefield.
Or he chose to tolerate the nobles and instead held Kant's salt mine in his hands.
There are only two options.
However, according to Kant's understanding of Baron Dylan, he will definitely choose the second method. After all, tearing faces with those nobles is equivalent to tearing faces with the Lion Principality. Why not take this opportunity to annex Kant and control the natural salt mines? Just like Kant did, keep a small part of the profit and give up all the rest.
Slowly develop, slowly accumulate, and eventually become a more terrifying behemoth.
It's just not that simple.
Time won't get there anytime soon either.
At least three years.
In the past three years, Kant will be blocked by Baron Dylan for almost all malicious intentions.
Maybe three years later, Baron Dylan couldn't bear the greater pressure, so he chose to let go, and set his sights on Kant, but then it would really be as simple as Baron Dylan thought
joke!
By then, Kant will have already grown into an even more terrifying behemoth!
"Go, let's go there!"
Kant rode his horse in front, leading the camel team and guards on the edge of the desert.
Looking at the majestic and spreading Sanvaya Mountains in the east, the data flow in the eyes is flickering, and a route from the system is appearing on the retina.
Just like looking for a station at the beginning.
Now, the system also gives tips and routes for Kant to follow to the Sanwaya Mountains.
Build his new village.
It's just in the east of the mountain range, and it's about half a day's journey based on the distance. For Kant, he doesn't have to worry about supplies. The camel caravan is already fully loaded with food and water bags, which were replenished at the Jianshi Pass, in order to find the village. , Manid also secretly prepared 3 more days of weight.
Naturally, the merchants in Jianshi Pass didn't know about it.
They also don't know how much supplies they need to bring from the Stone Pass to the sentry oasis.
They never went deep into the desert.
Walking along the edge of the Nalun Desert and the Sanwaya Mountains, the undulating mountains became more and more towering, allowing Kant to visually feel the hugeness of the mountains.
The mountains near the desert part are rugged, with cliffs everywhere.
And most of them are bare with not much green.
This was caused by the heat wave in the desert, but it also made it easier for Kant and the others to climb. They found a barely qualified mountain road, and they entered the Sangwaya Mountains under the leadership of Kant.
