The corners of Kant's mouth curled up slightly, with a smile on his face.
I have to say that the Pendor Caravan and the Fangorn Forest Caravan drawn this time are really a surprise.
The Pendor Caravan has Jocelyn as the leader of the caravan, and he is absolutely at home. Whether it is gold exchange for dinars, or using dinars to buy some supplies in the Pendor Continent, it is very appropriate.
Fangorn Forest, on the other hand, belongs to the world of demons, and is located in the middle-earth continent of the Lord of the Rings, so there are naturally many precious materials.
They are all business lines worth developing!
Kant was satisfied.
After pondering for a while, he instructed Jocelyn: "When Manid returns to the castle, you will meet and discuss how to allocate the next business lines to ensure the maximum profit we can get."
"Understood, Lord Kant, don't worry."
Jocelyn nodded solemnly.
He is not yet a hero-level NPC, but Kant's subordinate.
Strictly speaking, he is just a slightly special type of army, a caravan leader with the potential to become a hero-level NPC, so he was able to gain Kant's trust and was given the order to lead the caravan alone.
It is enough to cooperate with Manid.
The power is newly established, and everything is kept simple.
As for the castle, there is no need to worry.
When Kant left, "Drehem" was already on the right track.
For example, Fatis, Kant's most trusted knight, was entrusted to manage the castle. It can be said that he is in an important position, but in fact his main energy should be on the military side. He should be alert to the surrounding environment and arrange various layers of security networks to prevent the lord from being absent. Days go awry or encounter unfamiliar enemy units.
In other words, basically it is to maintain the stability near the castle.
This is also what Kant entrusted to Fatis before his departure.
After all, the depths of the desert are equal to the unknown. According to the intelligence of the captives of the Gray Mane Kingdom, there is an extremely hot devil zone in the deepest part, and even well-prepared and talented wolf men dare not set foot in it.
Even the expeditionary forces organized by the Gray Mane Kingdom to conquer the human kingdoms would rather endure the cruel environment of the desert and take an extra 30 days to bypass the devil's land than spend 10 days to cross the There is only endless dead silence in that terrifying area, which seems to be a devil's land like a restricted area of life!
When the sandstorm suddenly appeared deep in the desert, Kant was faintly vigilant.
This sandstorm may be inseparable from the Devil's Land.
What's more, Kant led the troops to the ancient passage and discovered the cave dungeon. The pope who had become a necromancer lich asked him to go to the depths of the desert.
Although he didn't point out that it was the devil's area, Kant estimated that it was there.
The system gave temporary tasks for confirmation.
This needs attention.
Kant's vigilance against the depths of the desert has reached an even higher level.
Fatis noticed Kant's seriousness, and then reported: "Master Kant, during the time you left the castle, everything was as usual, and the salt-carrying camel team that went to the depths of the desert also found nothing unusual."
"Yeah." Kant nodded, but narrowed his eyes slightly: "But this is not unusual."
No abnormality is the biggest abnormality!
The system gives a prompt.
The undead lichized pope pointed directly at the depths of the desert.
What's more, the words called by the high-level gnolls are translated in human language, which happens to be the devil's area. Looking back in Kant's mind, it always feels weird.
Especially in the cave, he really saw creatures like demons!
the main thing.
Kant draws conclusions from fragmented information.
The end of the age of the ancient gods was caused by the war between the gods and the demons.
Now these ancient remnants have appeared in the hidden place, and the Pope also gave him a mission to go to the depths of the desert to save the daughter of the god in the eternal coffin in the so-called Holy City of the Sun!
Kant didn't care whether he could be saved or not, but the rewards for the temporary tasks given by the system were springs.
This is what Kant needs to get!
The potential of the sentry oasis is not so, according to the help of the system, there is still room for development.
Although it is difficult in the early stage, as long as the area of the oasis is expanded to the point where it can form an excellent self-circulation, nourish the surrounding desert, and nourish various shrubs that could not grow due to lack of water, the value of this oasis after it is formed is definitely no less than that of mulberry trees. The Waya Mountains will be a green ocean in this barren desert!
At that time, even if there is no fertile soil, the agricultural development of the entire castle can be guaranteed. Even if the connection between the sentry oasis and the Sanwaya Mountains is blocked, sufficient supplies can also be obtained.
The oasis in the vast sea of sand will be as dazzling as a pearl.
the main thing.
It can also be used as an outpost, a transfer station, and an important logistical location!
Kant has always had the idea of going to the other side of the desert to have a look.
There is the coast of Mannheim.
It is said that the Greymane Kingdom was formed by the high-level Gnolls, the Lizardman Kingdom was formed by the Lizardmen, and there was also a coastal colony formed by the Elven Council sent by the Elven Republic.
It is different from the new world dominated by human nations and occupied by alien races!
It is really fascinating.
If it wasn't for Kant's need for development, he would have no spare energy to worry about it.
If he had sufficient troops and savings, and the energy to determine the overall situation, he would have sent troops to form an expedition team on camels that could cross the desert, and went to the opposite side of the Nalun Desert to have a look!
Gnolls can come on foot, so how could a camel, which is more enduring, be unable to pass
If there is a chance, Kant will definitely go to the coast of Mannheim.
But tiredness sets in.
The aftereffect of the long journey is that it makes him a little sleepy.
The breakfast wasn't finished yet, but Kant wasn't too hungry. He drank the sugar water in the glass in one gulp, stood up and said to Fatis and Jocelyn, "I'll leave this to you first, and I'll go back to my room to rest."
"clear."
Fatis and Jocelyn immediately stood up and sent them off.
They are trustworthy talents.
Personal ability, can replace Kant to handle the current situation well.
"I'll leave it to you."
Kant also nodded reassuringly, and walked towards the stairs under the leadership of the charming maid.
The tiredness is getting stronger and stronger.
A kitchen servant asked from behind: "My lord, your breakfast will not take too long to finish cooking, will I send it to your room later?"
"No."
Kant replied: "I will arrange for you to heat it up and bring it up when I wake up."
"Yes, my lord." The servants replied.
I have eaten breakfast.
Use the bread slices and air-dried meat baked by the bonfire last night, mixed with roasted hot water to swallow the stomach. Although the food is simple, it fills the stomach and ensures that the basic needs can still be met.
Back in the room, the maid behind him brought dessert, which was fried bread wrapped in honey and served with jam made from wild berries found in the Samwaya Mountains. The overall color was bright purple and the taste was sweet and sour. Kant After eating a few pieces casually, there is a sweet and greasy feeling in the throat.
But it's okay to satisfy his hunger, and it makes him more tired.
The maids wanted to help Kant undress.
They are all from wealthy families, specially selected to serve Kant’s 14- to 18-year-old girls. They are immature and lively, dressed in clean and tidy maid outfits, with cute and pretty faces and average looks. They are all above average, they can be regarded as young apples that have just matured.
Many aristocrats like this mouthful, and the feudal cold weapon era of the Calradia continent is naturally the same, but for Kant, the tiredness made him wave his hand directly, indicating that they can leave.
"My lord, please call us if necessary."
These little apples looked gloomy, pouted and retreated slowly.
The big black and white eyes are full of resentment towards Kant, as well as some kind of unfamiliar seduction that belongs to them.
It is a dream to marry a nobleman.
Of course, this dream is unrealistic for them, but being able to share the same bed with Kant, who is the supreme nobleman who treats even the king with courtesy, is tantamount to an honor that belongs to women.
This is an act that can make the family behind them feel honored.
Kant also understood why.
But as the supreme lord, he doesn't need to pay attention at all.
He took off his clothes and fell into a deep sleep.
Trekking in the desert is really exhausting, and so is riding a war horse.
After falling asleep, I have frequent dreams.
The ruins of the mountain top, the temple ruins inside the mountain, the ancient passages and cave dungeons, as well as the demons and necromancers he encountered, and even the experiences in them all made Kant's dreams more and more strange.
He even dreamed of the Goddess and Witch who was shot and killed by him back then.
Dreamed of the fall of gods and demons in ancient times.
And childhood experiences.
My father Cameron, my elder brother who is always cold-faced, and my biological mother who I don't remember, those nobles who are malicious to me, and my aunt who I only met once.
Maybe it was because he was too tired, Kant dreamed a lot.
But in the end he dreamed of the sandstorm deep in the desert.
Kant seems to have returned to that day.
The apprentices carried out the experiment recklessly, but let out a golden light.
The sandstorm appeared immediately, and the terrifying scene of flying sand and rocks that covered the sky and covered the sun suddenly appeared in this desert, bringing with it the daunting power of nature, as well as the doubts that came from the depths of the desert, known as the devil's land. .
No one knows exactly what happened there.
Kant also didn't know what the golden light he let go unintentionally represented.
But there was a heavy throbbing in my heart.
"Well…"
Opening his eyes, Kant's dream ended and he woke up slowly.
It was still his luxurious room.
Turning your head slightly, you can see the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and the yellow-orange sand sea far away.
Only then did I realize that I twisted my neck slightly, but felt my whole body was quite stiff, and said, "Come here, pour me a glass of water." With a growling sound in his stomach, he shouted, "And my breakfast !"
Now he is thirsty and hungry,
I remember that I had arranged this before going upstairs to my room.
Soon, upon hearing Kant's call, a maid walked in with a tray and saluted respectfully: "Good morning, my lord!"
