Chapter 259 Maplewood Town

Over the next few days, life became somewhat calmer.

Relying on the high benefits, he successfully recruited more than a dozen patrol officers and two patrol chiefs.

The security situation in the West District is much better than that in the East District.

In addition, it is the coldest time of the year outside, and not many people are willing to come out.

It made the whole street much quieter.

Relying on the money offensive, Chen Fan was able to temporarily take root in the Western District.

Sharf's group of people became quiet, and they didn't know that they were secretly preparing something.

Chen Fan was too lazy to pay much attention to them and kept sitting in the villa, reading through the accumulated files during the day and exercising in the villa at night.

A calm day came on Friday evening.

Tomorrow is the time agreed with Lilia.

In order to save time, Chen Fan planned to leave overnight so that he could have more time to deal with matters.

This is also a weekend that Chen Fan is looking forward to.

Next week, it will be the New Year in the Iron Gale Kingdom.

By then, there will definitely be a lot of things to be busy with.

If I can't go to the territory this week, I'll probably have to wait until after the New Year.

The sky hasn't completely darkened yet, and the entrance to the villa is already bustling with activity.

After Chen Fan finished dressing, there was a green chimney waiting at the door.

This trip was a long way, so it was naturally impossible to go there by carriage.

Accompanying him are Jones and his two hapless pirate men, as well as several newly recruited bodyguards.

These bodyguards are also retired soldiers and can easily defeat the level of several ordinary people.

For this, Chen Fan paid a high weekly salary of ten gold coins.

They were riding on the war horses that Chen Fan had borrowed in advance.

There is no other way. Although he has some wealth now, Chen Fan cannot afford to raise a war horse for the time being.

Let’s not talk about the value of a war horse. Just the fodder for raising a war horse is more expensive than hiring a bodyguard.

Raising ten horses is enough to drain Chen Fan's wallet even more.

He could only borrow a batch of war horses from the Bellucci family in advance to give himself a head start.

The Jones brothers were also riding well at this time.

This is what I forced them to learn.

When we were at sea, it didn't matter if we couldn't ride a horse. Now on land, it doesn't matter if we can't ride a horse.

They can't go even remotely far away.

Standing beside the carriage, Chen Fan waited quietly.

They didn't have to wait too long. Lilia appeared in the distance riding the maroon mare from last time.

Lilia still wore the cloak, hiding her whole body under the cloak.

Just the little bit of face revealed makes people stare straight at him.

Chen Fan smiled lightly at Lilia, and then pointed into the distance.

"set off!"

……

Fenglin Town is half a day away from the capital, in the same direction as the last time we went to the Sunset Mountains.

Chen Fan's time was limited, and everything was arranged very urgently.

Still the same, the green chimney leads the way, and the others follow behind.

They left the royal capital at around six o'clock in the afternoon and continued until around eleven o'clock, when they stopped.

Not because of fatigue, but because the road is difficult and dark.

When he saw a forest that could block the wind, he stayed and rested for the night.

He waited until the genius was slightly brighter, then set off again. Finally, before it was completely bright, he arrived at Chen Fan's territory.

Maplewood Town!

The morning sunshine shines on the entrance of this small town.

Maplewood Town, located in the suburbs, covers an area of ​​4421 acres and has a total of 641 households and a population of 2107.

The people who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water. Next to Maplewood Town is Maple Leaf Forest, which is one of the largest forests in the Iron Gale Kingdom.

Timber is the largest industry here.

Most of the residents in Maplewood Town are engaged in processing wood, some are directly made into furniture, and some are directly sold to the royal capital.

In addition to the forest, there is also a grassland next to Fenglin Town, and pasture is also a major industry here.

But apart from these, Maplewood Town has no other income.

So when winter comes, the residents here all have to rely on the money earned in the summer to survive the winter.

Even if you want to find some small work, you can't find it.

The money earned in a year can just be used in this year.

If you encounter any natural or man-made disaster, you will have to wait for the winter to be hungry.

Towns like this can be found everywhere in the kingdom.

Moreover, Maplewood Town has Maple Leaf Forest as a resource, which is barely good enough.

However, due to its proximity to the Maple Leaf Forest, this small town is often attacked by wild beasts in the forest.

When Chen Fan went to the Knights Guild for the first time to pick up a mission, he had a mission in which Maple Grove Town was attacked by a demon eagle.

But later, it seemed that other knights came and solved the trouble.

This time, another monster attacks.

When we entered Maplewood Town, it was very quiet inside. At this point, most of the people were probably warming themselves by the fire at home.

Chen Fan was not in a hurry to walk around, but went to the largest hotel in the town first.

"Maple Leaf Inn."

As expected of a place that makes money from carpentry, the signboard of this hotel is carved out of wood in the shape of a maple leaf, with the name of the hotel written on it.

Gently opened the hotel door.

Although it is the largest hotel in town, it is actually not that big. It can accommodate thirty or forty people, which is already the upper limit.

Julia, who was one step ahead of Chen Fan and the others, lived here.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Julia who had been waiting inside for a long time.

"Lord Chen Fan..."

Julia was like a wife waiting for her husband to come home.

When he saw Chen Fan, his face was full of excitement.

Chen Fan smiled and waved his hand to her, telling her not to be so happy.

"I have reserved the yard in advance, which is enough for our people."

"well done."

Chen Fan looked behind Julia.

Although it is a hotel, it also operates as a pub and restaurant.

This lobby is a hotel lobby, with the accommodation behind it.

At this time, everyone living here had nothing to do, so they happened to be gathering around the hall drinking.

But when Chen Fan and the others appeared, everyone stopped moving.

Many people in the hotel were looking at this group of "uninvited guests".

After all, this is not a day when lumber can be exported. How can anyone in Maplewood Town deliberately pass by.

Moreover, everyone in Chen Fan's group came on horseback, and one could tell at a glance that they had extraordinary origins.

The hotel owner was standing nearby, looking extremely nervous.

"My lord, do you need anything?"

"Please help prepare hot food first."

After traveling early in the morning, even Chen Fan now felt that his whole body was about to be frozen.

Chen Fan glanced at those people and did not find Fante and others.

But he didn't relax either.

That mission just said that there were monsters attacking villages and towns in Maple Leaf Forest. This time, it was not Maple Forest Town that was attacked, but the town next to it.
