Home of the Brave

"Puff...wow hahahaha! Your kid... really good! You really have you!" Dean burst into laughter on the spot after listening, and the exaggerated laughter attracted the attention of the guards on the spot.

"This is a natural punishment, right? Your kid probably did something wicked to someone else's maiden, and then it caused Albers' anger... Tsk tsk, the couple's quarrel actually caused the divine punishment to come, this kind of thing is even in the bard's. Didn’t it appear in the story? As expected of the descendants of the Dai family! Amazing, really amazing!"

"Bastard! If you guys were not pushing behind, why would she live in my house?" Dai Yang stared at the captain of the guard with resentment, and then resolutely said: "Well, don't you mean that your skills have become sluggish recently? How about I bring Miranda to the security team as a guest? You can find her to practice hands, although she is not as good as Xia Luwei, but her swordsmanship is also very powerful! If you can force her to use magic, it will be even more exciting !I promise……"

"Don't! If I'm afraid of you, don't promise!" Dean hurriedly stopped someone's words and raised his hands to surrender. "Albers's prestige is not something that I can endure for ordinary people. If you really bring her here, my captain should wipe his neck... Isn't it just a bed? A little bit, anyway, I have been quite free recently. Just move to your house."

Dean promised so. What needs to be explained here is that Dean’s father, Old Glass is a carpenter in Lanlos Town, and many of the furniture in the Dai’s prop store were made by Old Glass. Dean worked with his father since he was a child and also learned a good carpenter's craft. Dean is usually responsible for maintaining the peace of the town as the security captain. In his free time, he likes to be a guest carpenter, but perhaps because of his enthusiasm for public welfare, his wife is often dissatisfied.

"Hmph, it's almost the same..." After finally reluctantly regaining a round, Dai Yang felt a little better.

Looking back, seeing that Xiao En hadn't come back for the time being, Dai Yang stretched out his hand to the jug and poured himself a full glass of free ale.

"Boy, be kind to me."

The feeling of being beaten by a wooden plate came from the back of his head. After serving the wine, Sean returned to the bar and expressed strong dissatisfaction with his uncontrollable behavior.

"What? Do you know you are polite? Then why is my tea pot empty?"

Dai Yang continued to drink without caring, but the accused tavern owner seemed to have no words to refute, scratching his head helplessly.

"By the way, I almost forgot about this..." Sean suddenly thumped his hand and said as if thinking of something. "I have your letter!"

"My letter?" Dai Yang put down his wine glass in surprise. "When did you come?"

"Probably five days ago, it was sent from the royal capital of Bahala. Because you were taking two nizi to the hot spring for your honeymoon at the time, and the person who delivered the letter temporarily sent it to me."

"Royal Capital Bahala? Is it the uncle's reply?" Dai Yang was suddenly excited.

Dai Yang's uncle was named Dai Chuanlie, the eldest of the three Dai family brothers, and currently resides in Bahala, the capital of the Gulambel Kingdom. At the beginning, Dai Yang sent a letter to his uncle, asking him to come as a witness for himself and Xia Luwei. Who knows that this matter has not yet come to an end, and there is something about the daughter of the Embryon family, which makes Dai Yang really not sure what to do. Explain the process to the uncle.

"It doesn't seem to be? There is a wax seal from the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce." Xiao En interrupted Dai Yang's worries, went to the back to find the letter and handed it to Dai Yang.

"A letter from the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce..." Dai Yang looked at the logo of the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce at the seal of the letter, showing a strong shaken expression.

The Rhodes Chamber of Commerce is a well-known chamber of commerce stationed in the royal capital of Bahara, and it is also one of the operators of the underground black market. Due to the severe economic blockade imposed by the Gulambel Kingdom on Lanlos, the living materials needed by the town residents can only be dispatched from the black market in the royal capital by the black-haired youth, and the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce is one of them. People-in other words, they are one of the culprits for the nightmare of the prop store's deficit.

"Damn it, those guys won't find me if there's nothing wrong, and if something happens, it will never be a good thing..."

Dai Yang seemed to want to send the letter to the corpse to destroy the corpse, but since the other party specially paid to send the letter, it must be a very important thing. If you just leave it alone, even if you can pretend to be okay now, you will inevitably face more serious problems in the future...

Dai Yang hesitated, hesitated, tangled, and finally gritted his teeth and opened the envelope with trembling fingers.

※※※

As the saying goes, "Misfortune does not come singly, but good fortune comes." The letter from the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce is really nothing good.

Excluding the courtesy greetings, the letter basically mentions only one thing, that is, because the new policy of the Gulambel Kingdom strengthens the management of the material circulation channels, the black market trade is facing unprecedented pressure, so all black markets have been put on the market since this month. The tax collected by the chamber of commerce for transactions will be increased by 30%.

As the only prop shop in Lanlos Town, "The Brave Cemetery" also assumes the mission of dispatching supplies. Since the Gulambel Kingdom imposed an economic blockade on the Lanlos collar, since Dad Dai’s time, the town’s living supplies have relied heavily on the item shop to dispatch from the black market, and Dai Yang, who inherited the item shop from Dad, also Inherit this heavy mission. Buying living supplies from the black market at high prices, transporting them back to Lanlos Town and selling them at the original price or at a low price is almost what Dai Yang has to do every quarter.

This kind of high-in-low-out daily material scheduling can be said to be the ultimate reason why the "Cemetery of the Brave" cannot get rid of the deficit nightmare.

The population of Lanlos Town is about 700 people, and the property is still rich. Most of the living supplies can be self-sufficient, and there are not many people who need to be dispatched from the black market. For this reason, although every time I go to and from the capital of Bahala, there is no less trouble, but I can barely make it-but unfortunately, with this tax increase notice sent by the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce, this situation is also It can no longer be maintained.

Starting this month, the tax collection of all chambers of commerce on the black market will be increased by 30%, which means that if Dai Yang goes to the black market to trade, he will have to pay an additional one-third of the price. For the item shop, whose capital chain has always been extremely tight, this additional expenditure almost immediately pushed the finances of the "Cemetery of the Brave" to the brink of deficit and bankruptcy!

Perhaps the only thing that can be thankful is that such an end does not come immediately.

The current season has entered the early winter, and everything is dormant on the Palamian continent. According to past practices, Dai Yang will wait for the early spring season before going to the black market to dispatch supplies. In other words, he has one winter to deal with this crisis, and I believe this is also the reason why the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce rushed to send this letter in front of the snow-covered mountain. Before heading to the royal capital of Bahara in the early spring of next year, as long as Dai Yang has a way to make up for the gap in the capital chain, the situation of deficit bankruptcy will not come, otherwise it will end miserably.

In theory, Dai Yang has a whole winter to deal with this crisis, but this possibility only exists in theory. Once the mountains are covered by ice and snow, let alone adventurers, even monsters will never show up again, and the turnover of the item shop is equal to being frozen by ice and snow, and there will be no more money in the whole three months. In this case, it is already a matter of gratitude that the deficit should not continue to expand. It is almost impossible to make up for the gap in the capital chain.

"...Hello!"

When a cold wind blew, Dai Yang couldn't help but sneezed, and subconsciously tightened his neckline. Although it is only the early winter, but the mood has fallen into the middle of winter.

The Rhodes Chamber of Commerce’s incoming signaling prop store was in an unprecedented crisis. As for how to survive this crisis, Dai Yang thought while walking on the way home, but he didn't have much clue.

In any case, there is no way adventurers will come in after the ice and snow cover the mountain, and there is only a dead end in the item shop. Taking advantage of the last one or two weeks before the mountain was covered by ice and snow, trying to sell the inventory in the store, it could barely solve the temporary urgent need. However, time and preparation are far from sufficient, and it is really difficult to expect optimistic results.

In the worst case, Dai Yang wanted to learn from adventurers to hunt for treasure.

The Frost Mountains, known as the "monster paradise", are surrounded by a maze of relics. If you are lucky enough to find any treasures, you can solve the financial crisis in one fell swoop-it is very good to think about it. However, it depends on whether the treasures can be found smoothly. luck. As a prop shop owner who has dealt with adventurers for many years, Dai Yang has seen too many adventurers who leave with hope and return with disappointment. He always feels that it is better to make money than unreliable things like luck. More solid.

And speaking of it, challenging the Ruins Labyrinth is not that simple. The previous experience of the redstone veins left Dai Yang's memory still fresh.

The "Wuxiang Shenyan" biography of the Dai family is an extreme martial arts that goes against the sky. It is infinitely powerful when used. Almost all of the Dai family's lives have been killed in this way. This fate-like fact has brought heavy pressure to Dai Yang, and he would rather bear the end of deficit and bankruptcy than being killed by the thunder. Therefore, there is not much value to consider as a guest adventurer.

"Well, can you just sit back and wait..."

Dai Yang grinded his teeth unwillingly, and couldn't help but imagine the scene of beating King Gulambel in his mind.

"Economic blockade or something, this kind of petty strategy, which underwhelmed **** came up with? Damn it, if I knew it..."

Regardless of whether the idea of ​​beating King Gulambel might be realized, Dai Yang's mood improved somewhat with the imagination of escaping from reality. Passing the corner of the street, the magnificent stone building in the distance entered the horizon. Looking at the door of the house close at hand, and the drinking smoke slowly emerging from the roof chimney, Dai Yang exhaled, put away the inconclusive troubles, and walked towards the house with a relaxed expression.
