251. Greed is the original sin

() "Tuk-du"'s polite and elegant knock on the door was followed by the rigorous voice of the old housekeeper: "Miss, it's tea time." His voice was soft and he stood up straight, looking like a standard housekeeper.

Son.

Master Shan took out his diary and studied it. He glanced at the surrounding carriages inadvertently and paused suddenly.

His eyes returned to a carriage loaded with goods, and landed on a familiar chamber of commerce logo, starting with the letter "t" and followed by eye-catching logos in traditional Chinese and beautiful words.

This logo, Shan Ye once saw in Tongzhong Town, is the logo of Doris Chamber of Commerce.

Slowly falling into memories, Mr. Shan was awakened by a knock on the door: "Sir, someone wants us to join. Look," the old butler stood with his hands tied, lowered his gaze slightly, and asked respectfully.

Master Shan calmed down his emotions and asked softly: "What are your requirements?" This kind of carpooling is a very common thing in this war-torn period.

When the old housekeeper heard this, a hint of anger flashed across his face, and his voice couldn't help but have a slight ups and downs: "The leader seems to be a noble from the border town, and he said he wanted everyone to allocate guards and bodyguards uniformly."

When Mr. Shan heard this, his facial muscles trembled, and a sneer flashed in his eyes: "What a good plan. In the wild, if he controls the life support, wouldn't everyone else become his subordinates?"

Although he was very unhappy, Shan Ye still asked the old housekeeper to reply to the other party and was willing to hand over control of the guards and bodyguards.

Shan Ye originally wanted to blend in with the caravan all the way, and as long as there was no big danger, he would be able to enter the Huaque Empire safely, but judging from the attitude of everyone, it seemed that the road would not be peaceful.

With the leader in place, the caravan was quickly formed.

Most of them are businessmen, plus some small nobles and squires who want to leave the border town. The scale is not small.

Shanye's two carriages can be said to have the smallest number of people and the smallest number of things in the entire caravan.

Two carriages, two coachmen, a housekeeper, a guard, and a young lady. No luggage, no goods, just like a trip.

However, after seeing the ring on the old butler's finger, everyone knew that only truly wealthy people would bring nothing with them, because their belongings were all placed in the space ring.

It was bustling, and by the time the caravan was organized, it was almost evening.

Since it was almost evening, the leading noble felt that it was not safe to travel at night, so he placed the caravan near the border town. Everyone paid a gold coin for the accommodation, and the city guards in the border town would look after them for one more night.

"Tomorrow morning, let's all set off early and try not to delay. If anything happens, we'll take care of it tonight," the butler of the leading nobleman said to everyone in a loud voice. Mr. Shan closed the car window and read the diary carefully.

There was no word for the whole night. Anne and the old housekeeper slept in the carriage respectively. As a bodyguard, Mr. Shan could only keep watch all night.

However, one night is not wasted.

"Ding! The Tokachi stone statue, the wizard, and the banshee have been trained!"

"Ding! Collect some fragments of strong human souls!"

After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, Master Shan gave the new order and then began to study the spatial knowledge and secrets in his mind. In addition, he read all the diaries, and the night passed quickly.

The sky was slightly white, and the morning dew wet their clothes. The guards and bodyguards on night duty looked tired, and as they had agreed last night, they started to wake everyone up and go on the road.

Everything was basically ready last night, so after a little tidying up, this makeshift caravan set off.

On the first day, the caravan did not even go outside the border town. They rested at night and continued on their way the next day.

On the third day, a temporary scout team from the front came to report that a large caravan was being attacked at the intersection ahead.

A large number of Gobi jingles and orc bandits attacked the large caravan. What attracted everyone's attention was not this ordinary attack, but the tenacity shown by the caravan.

As long as they surrender and deliver most of the goods, they can basically satisfy the desires of these bandits. But for some reason, this caravan would rather fight with thousands of bandits than surrender.

Mr. Shan was sitting on the roof of a truck. When he heard the news, his eyes moved and started to twinkle: "Is there any good stuff?" Speaking of good things, Mr. Shan's eyes immediately showed a little greed.

"Stop advancing!" After receiving the accurate information, the leading noble immediately ordered to stop advancing and wait where he was.

Originally, the caravan was bloated and its progress was slow. I didn't know when it would reach the border. At this time, it stopped and waited. Immediately, many young nobles became dissatisfied: "What's going on? Stopped again?"

"I heard that there are goblins and orcs plundering ahead. It's best for us to wait where we are and wait for them to leave before we hit the road."

"Why not take a detour? It's not much distance anyway."

The leading noble looked at the shouting crowd and rubbed his brows helplessly, feeling that the gain was not worth the loss. Although he had gained temporary control of the caravan, there was no response of force and deterrence. Most of the people's orders to him were just

Cope with it.

Just as he was about to suppress the noise of the crowd, a small voice suddenly overwhelmed everyone's voices: "I'll go take a look, you just wait!" Looking along the source of the sound, a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old was standing on the carriage.

On the other side, he straightened his clothes and said loudly.

The leading noble was about to stand up and reprimand this young man for not understanding the rules, but was frightened by the young man's next actions.

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man's body slowly turned into a black and purple cloud. In the cloud, two scarlet light spots stared at everyone, and the black clouds rose up in the wind and quickly disappeared from sight.

"Wow! What is that? Transformation?" A businessman with a big belly widened his eyes and said loudly in astonishment.

"Have you never heard of this kind of transformation?" A young nobleman who thought he was well-informed looked at the direction in which Master Shan disappeared and murmured.

The leading noble opened his mouth, opened and closed it several times silently, and then closed his mouth with a dejected expression. It turned out that there was a strong man here, and he was just a fool, and he wanted to control the caravan for profit.

With the clouds rising and the mist rising, Shan Ye quickly arrived over the battlefield.

Looking down at the battlefield, the battle situation was very tragic. The guards suffered serious casualties, but the ones who died more were goblins and orc bandits.

After careful inspection, Shan Ye's eyes flashed with surprise: "The equipment is actually so good?" Looking at the dead ghosts and the equipment of the orc bandits, Shan Ye cautiously stopped, released three shadows, and looked around.

Fan.

A moment later, above a canyon, Shan Ye discovered more orc bandits and goblins, crawling on the ground, waiting for something. Not far away, several mysterious men in black robes were gathering together, muttering.

are discussing something.

The black robe was very ordinary, but the eyeball with a cross engraved on the sleeve made Mr. Shan startled. "Cross Eye Merchant Guild?"

I didn't expect to meet these guys here, so under the black robe, there must be the lovely Lord Evil Eye.

Floating among the dense leaves, Shan Ye reduced his body to a shadow, resting among the leaves. Squinting his two scarlet eyes, Shan Ye slowly made a plan.

The things that the Cross Eyes Merchant Guild likes are definitely good things. But for this reason, it is not a wise act to make an enemy of the Cross Eyes Merchant Guild, which has a profound background and complicated relationships. How can we kill those evil eyes without being discovered?

, even when the black clouds were rolling, the sight of two scarlet eyes fell on the motorcade in the distance.

But it's a bit redundant to think about this now, so Shan Ye decided to wait and see what happens.

The caravan guards suffered heavy injuries, but they still withstood the pressure and killed the Gobi goblins and orc bandits.

Holding a pair of hammers, a heavy warrior panted and kicked away a corpse of a ground elf, and came to the car door: "Sir, the enemy has been eliminated. I suggest leaving here immediately." The voice showed obvious fatigue,

And a little hoarse.

A middle-aged man poked his head out. His two eyes were bloodshot, his thick lips were chapped and pale, and his face showed a hint of despair: "All done?"

The Double Hammer Warrior nodded vigorously, but there was an undisguised dejection in his eyes: "They're all done." Looking at the middle-aged man's face, the Double Hammer Warrior choked his throat: "This is already the second wave.

, I guess below." The Double Hammer Warrior didn't say it, but his meaning was very clear.

The middle-aged man scratched his greasy forehead, his face full of irritation: "I know, but now it's not that we don't want to surrender, but that the other party doesn't give us a chance at all." As he said that, his eyes fell on another carriage.

His eyes flickered.

The Double Hammer Warrior also knew how precious the things transported this time were, but thinking about the dead and injured brothers, he felt a sense of resentment in his heart: "Sir, this is taking the lives of brothers."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and stopped the other party from continuing: "I know that the other party is taking advantage of us, but when things have reached this point, we are no longer able to control it." The middle-aged man's voice was helpless, blaming himself for being taken advantage of in the first place.

The profit went to his head and he agreed to the other party's request for escort. He thought that if he and others kept their whereabouts secret, they would be lucky enough to deliver the things, but in the end, they were discovered.

"Pack up your bags and set off immediately!" After a slight thought, the middle-aged man seemed to feel the dissatisfied eyes on the carriage and immediately ordered.

The Double Hammer warrior frowned, glanced at the corpses of more than twenty brothers, and sighed forcefully: "I obey, my lord!"

Looking at his subordinates who were leaving with dejected expressions, the middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief from his chest and retreated into the carriage.

Next, just as the two expected, they were once again attacked by Gobi goblins and orc bandits in the canyon. This time, almost all the remaining guards were killed, and only the fifth-level double hammer warriors fought their way out.

Holding two heavy hammers stained with blood, the fifth-level warrior collapsed in a pool of blood. There were dead people and corpses everywhere, and the strong smell of blood filled the entire canyon.

The middle-aged man was also holding a short sword at this time, sitting next to him with a pale face, his eyes full of despair: "Greed is the original sin, greed is the original sin!!" Staring at the dead men, the middle-aged voice was full of self-blame and regret.
