The officer who had spoken before ran to the convoy and began to speak loudly again:

"Everyone, the progress of the inspection is indeed a bit slow, but it is also for the sake of everyone's safety!"

"I'm also sorry for delaying everyone's trip. But the mountain road ahead is steep, and it's not suitable for driving at night. Everyone stay in the post station and leave after the night!"

"The rest of the goods that have not been inspected can be inspected again tomorrow morning. There should be no brothers in the vegetable and fruit business this season. If you delay the trip for half a day, you won't have too much loss..."

At this time, it is the cold winter, and the business of vegetables and fruits is really impossible.Except for Amy and the others, the carriages parked here are basically merchants who are going to do business with Linquan Winery.

The officer comforted them, and persuaded the group of merchants again. Seeing that the customs clearance was not successful, some people took the carriage to occupy a good position, and began to pitch tents, light a fire, boil hot water, and prepare dinner.

Loren's carriage and Amy's carriage sandwiched the high wall of the post station, forming a triangular area. Two tents were pitched inside, and a firewood pile was set up in the middle to make a fire.

During the period, a soldier from the post station came to ask if he could help, probably coveting the beauty of Amy and Sirin, and was persuaded away by Loren's good words.

As the night was getting darker, most of the merchants got into their tents to rest, and there was only one person outside who was on duty to watch the night and look after the goods.

If it is in other territories, there is no need to be so cautious in post stations guarded by soldiers, but the merchants know how unreliable the local army in the Iris Flower Territory is, and they dare not entrust their property and safety to them for protection.

Anyway, even if they are camping in the wild, they have to change shifts to watch the night. The merchants have long been accustomed to this rest mode.

In order to repay the kindness of the two adults, Loren planned to stay and watch the night voluntarily, but Rosa took the initiative to accept the errand and drove the merchant to sleep.

Rosa didn't feel sorry for the merchant's involvement, but worried that if something happened, unemployed people like Loren would not be able to serve as a warning, and the vigil would be meaningless.

Seeing Rosa's thick waist and round arms, although she is a woman, she is much stronger than herself, Loren didn't dare to get entangled, and obediently went to rest.

Amy put the Book of the Dead in the tent, covered her appearance, and entered the room of the dead with Sirin.

Rosa belongs to the chamber of commerce and is considered her own, so there is no need to hide such things from her.

In the middle of the night, Amy was embracing Sirin's arm, with one leg resting on Sirin's body, and fell asleep in a daze, when Rosa's warning sound came from outside the book.

"Lord Amy, Sir Sirin, as you expected, those soldiers have taken action!"

The two woke up instantly and looked at each other.

Ami's face was slightly red, she usually sleeps quite honestly, but sometimes, like ADHD, she needs to hug something to sleep soundly, which is exactly the case tonight.

The hug isn't too tight, and the position where the legs are pressed shouldn't be that bad, it's just that it's not very elegant visually...

Fortunately, Sirin didn't say anything, she just smiled at Amy.

The two of them got out of bed after putting on a thick coat over their pajamas. With a thought, Amy took Sirin away from the undead and appeared in the tent.

--------

ps: There will be an update later, but it is recommended to watch it tomorrow morning

Song of the Traveler: Chapter 61 Vain Work

Rosa's posture is quite strange, she is lying on the edge of the Book of the Dead in a state of bending down.

Amy was a little puzzled, but Sirin immediately realized that with such a posture, her figure would not be reflected on the surface of the tent, so that people outside would not notice the abnormality.

The two of them are not worried about the strength of the soldiers outside, but if it is to expose the conspiracy, it is understandable to do some camouflage.

So, Sirin grabbed Amy's arm, pushed her down in her arms, and fell down as well.

Seeing this, Rosa showed a subtle smile on her face and made a "very good" gesture.

Amy is at a loss, what's going on with you two?

But, it's not unacceptable to lean in Sirin's gentle embrace. She actually enjoys the service of Brain Pad Wave.

"What's the situation now?" Sirin asked in a low voice.

Rosa replied: "The group of soldiers are pretty skilled. With the double assurance of the stun smoke and the stun spell, the only people who are still awake in this station, besides themselves, are probably only a few of us. .”

Sirin glanced at Rosa indiscriminately. With this method, she can still keep awake, and she looks quite capable. Rosa is not easy.

Amy was a little puzzled, "What are they doing this for?"

Sirin thought for a while, and gave her own speculation, "There shouldn't be any high-value targets in this group of merchants, and we haven't found any information related to abyssal monsters, so the only thing worth plotting is their relationship with Lin Quan. The goods contacted by the winery."

"I think so too." Rosa said, "It just so happens that Linquan Winery will be opening for the New Year soon, and merchants from all over the country will send people to discuss orders for the new year. Most of the materials brought by these merchants will be Used in the second to third batch of wine for the New Year, counting the time, it happens to be the goods of that group of merchants."

Amy frowned, "What do you mean, this is a malicious incident against Linquan Winery? But will such a large family business as Linquan Winery really be calculated by this method?"

She didn't really believe it. On the day she came to the White Tower City, although she just looked at Nonis from a distance and said a few words, she could clearly feel the extraordinaryness of her.

Rosa said, "Our chamber of commerce is the closest partner of Linquan winery on the mainland, and the head of the house over there is a powerful person who is extremely respected by the president, and he will definitely not be calculated by such a small trick, but what? , We know about this, but outsiders don’t know about it.”

"It may also be a tentative attack." Sirin said, "Even if it has no effect, there is no loss. These guys should run away after finishing this order."

All three of them felt that these soldiers were not the Iris Territory's army. Compared with what they had seen before, these people were more in line with ordinary people's impression of soldiers, but in the Iris Territory, this was not normal.

The three of them chatted on their stomachs, and the sound of footsteps came from outside the tent.

Sirin took out a piece of white paper, dipped her fingers in star pattern ink, and quickly drew a few magic symbols.

A black light spread, covering the figures of the three people. After a while, their bodies fell into a state of blur and concealment, almost invisible to the naked eye.

Both Amy and Sirin have methods similar to magic vision, and they are holding hands all the time, so they don't worry about not being able to see each other.

Rosa's behavior was quite unexpected. She took out a bottle of potion, squeezed a few drops and smeared it above her eye sockets, blinked, with a faint red light shining in her eyes, and also caught the silhouettes of Sirin and Amy.

"Master Sirin is very good at it." Rosa exclaimed, "The professional level of this hidden spell is even better than those stalkers!"

Sirin shrugged. If you can catch five or six black magic masters a year, as well as a dozen black magic masters who are not good enough, you can also learn this method.

Both spells and martial arts need to be tempered in actual combat before they can be refined. The reason why Sirin is almost invincible among her peers is not only due to her talent, but also the tempering of actual combat.

Under the leadership of the teacher, she has experienced countless battles, and her actual combat ability is many times stronger than those closed-door greenhouse flowers. The combat wisdom and combat methods are not comparable to that group of people. in this way.

The concealment spell took effect, and the three quietly got out of the tent, jumped onto the high wall of the post station, and had a panoramic view of the situation below.

Just as Sirin expected, those soldiers were gathering in twos and threes beside the merchants' carriages, prying open the cargo boxes, and doing tricks inside.

Amy squinted her eyes. Her eyes were structured differently from ordinary people. She had excellent night vision and could adjust the viewing distance to a certain extent, just like bringing her own binoculars.

Reminiscent of the identity of the holy moon spirit marksman, it doesn't seem surprising that the eyes have some special abilities.

After adjusting her eyesight, Amy could clearly see the specific movements of those soldiers.

They were holding a small gray beetle in their hands, and they were strenuously squeezing the beetle's abdomen, forcing the beetles to spit out some transparent mucus, and dripped the mucus into the cargo box.

"Bone Eater!"

The well-informed Sirin recognized the beetles, and her face became serious.

Amy felt a little familiar when she heard the name, and after thinking about it in her mind, she actually recalled some information.

Bone Eater, a parasitic beetle monster, is small in size and has strong reproductive ability. It can complete parasitism in most living bodies and secrete eggs.Both its larvae and adults can feed on bone and blood, and the death of many large beasts is caused by being parasitized by bone-eating worms and eating up their bodies.

There are also precedents of this kind of magical beast parasitizing humans, but today's humans mainly eat cooked food, and after parasites cause pain, they will seek medical treatment.

Physicians can drive the bone-eating worms out of the body through special physical means or deworming drugs, so there are few fatal cases, and most of the cases are just serious injuries.

In the transparent mucus squeezed out by the soldiers, there are eggs of bone-eating worms. The eggs will not hatch until they encounter a suitable environment, and it is difficult to find them in this viscous liquid state.

"hiss--"

Rosa also saw the soldiers' operations clearly through the strengthening of the eyes by the potion, and made a shocked sound.

She whispered with magic power to express her point of view:

"How should I put it, the mastermind behind this incident seems to lack common sense."

"What do you mean?" Amy asked.

Rosa replied: "This batch of materials is sent to Linquan Winery. If they can pass the inspection stage, they should be sent to make fermented grain wine. Not to mention the alcohol produced in the fermentation stage, it has a certain degree of killing insect eggs. The effect. After the wine is released, there will be a distillation and extraction process at the winery. At that temperature, the eggs of the bone-eating insects will not survive at all and will be killed directly. In the end, at most, the batch will be treated. The quality of alcoholic beverages has a certain impact, but cannot cause substantial harm."

After a pause, Rosa added, "It is more likely that this batch of materials was found to have problems during the review and inspection stage, and then discarded."

Amy rubbed her head, "That is to say, this group of people engaged in such a big battle, took down the station, pretended to be soldiers, and tried their best to stop these carriages. They were smoky and magical, and they ran to catch the bone-eating insects. Are you actually doing useless work?"

Rosa shrugged, "I don't know the specific thoughts of the mastermind behind the scenes, but if it's just bone-eating insect eggs, it won't affect the business of Linquan Winery at all."

Amy was amused, "Then shall we make a move?"

"Of course." Sirin said in a deep voice, "What they do will not threaten Linquan Winery, but will affect these merchants. Moreover, using bone-eating insect eggs to entrap others is a heinous crime that cannot be forgiven!"

ps: It’s quite true. After posting Chapter 1, the power went out in my hometown. I’ve almost burned out writing this chapter.

Song of the Traveler: Chapter 62 Event Handling

When Sirin decided to make a move, the group of people pretending to be soldiers lost the possibility of victory.

Even the injured Sirin, the actual combat ability is not something that this group of people who don't even have gold-level professionals can compete with.

Sirin didn't even use advanced swordsmanship, and only used Li swordsmanship to defeat everyone.

She intended to save a few survivors for interrogation, but these soldiers all chose to commit suicide extremely resolutely.

After a lot of work, Sirin felt a little helpless looking at the dozens of corpses lying on the ground.

These people have rough plans and no common sense, but their discipline is really strong. The suicide pills are hidden between their teeth, and they bite hard, and they die in less than three seconds.

There is no way to ask questions if you don't live, and you need to find another clue to investigate. Xilin held her forehead, quite distressed.

Amy suggested in a low voice: "Should we stuff these corpses among the undead, and use the special ability of that space to see if we can catalyze a few undead to come out?"

Sirin's eyes lit up, this is barely a solution, but whether it will work or not depends on the follow-up situation.

Ami dug out the Book of the Dead, called names one by one, dragged in more than a dozen corpses, and threw them in the open space along the lower reaches of the river.

It was far away from the wooden house, so it would not affect her and Sirin's life. If the undead failed to be transformed, it would not be difficult to find another place to discard the corpse.

After passing this post station, you can go further to the rugged mountain road, and the carriages have to drive slowly. There are many high cliffs and wild mountains on both sides of the road, so it is a good choice to find a place to dump the body.

"How to explain these merchants?" Amy thought of another question.

When she spoke, her eyes looked at Rosa.

The meaning is also obvious, this kind of matter, it is better to solve this kind of matter by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.

Rosa nodded, "Miss Amy, just leave this kind of thing to me."

She walked to the center of the station, took out a small bell from her arms, and shook it vigorously.

Jingle Bell--

The melodious bell rang and reached Amy's ears, reminding her inexplicably of the school bell in her previous life on Earth.

"This bell is a magical creation, and it's quite interesting." Sirin whispered, "It seems to have the effect of dispelling spells or forcibly awakening it."

Called by the bell, a group of merchants woke up quickly. Seeing the opened and unclosed cargo boxes, they all realized that something went wrong, and they couldn't help but panic and make noise.

They swept along the line of sight, and none of the soldiers at the post station could be seen. In the center stood a middle-aged woman who was tall and thick and still wearing a short shirt in winter. She immediately found the target of the fire and swarmed towards it.

Only Loren and Della found Amy's position first, and leaned beside her.

"How is this going?"

"You moved our goods?!"

"Where are those soldiers? Have they all run away?"

……

Rosa rang the bell vigorously again, and at the same time shouted in a deep voice: "Quiet!!"

Her loud shout was like thunder, which made the merchants dizzy and dizzy. It took more than ten seconds to slow down, and the scene became extremely quiet.

"I am Rosa, the Field Deacon of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, and this is my identification card!"

Rosa did not directly explain the situation, but first revealed her identity.She held up a golden chamber badge and waved it in front of the merchants.

With this proof, the merchants knew her identity, and against the backdrop of the golden signboard of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, her next words easily gained a bonus of convincing force.

"The people who took control of this post station and stopped you with the excuse of inspecting the goods are not regular soldiers with the iris flower collar, but gangsters who pretended to be identities and wanted to wait for an opportunity to attack everyone's goods!"

"They mixed the eggs of bone-eating worms into your cargo boxes, and the opened cargo boxes were basically polluted by the eggs!"

Hearing this, two merchants lost their strength to stand firm, and collapsed to the ground mournfully, covering their faces and weeping bitterly.

Many people who come to run merchants do not have a lot of wealth. They can only earn a few months of rations for a single trip. .

The notoriety of bone-eating insects, these merchants have also heard a lot, how can goods contaminated by insect eggs be sold?

Even if they traded to Linquan Winery out of conscience, would they be able to escape after the incident?
