Then, the middle-aged man opened the small package and saw several bottles inside. He took out one of the bottles, opened it cautiously, and stepped forward to smell it.

In an instant, a surprised expression appeared on his face and he said: "Happy San?"

Ariel did not answer immediately, but frowned and said: "Happy Powder? No, no, no, this thing is called a tranquilizer, not a Happy Powder."

Seeing that Ariel did not follow his tone this time, the middle-aged man nodded again. He continued to hold the bottle and smell it, as if feeling the smell emanating from it. Then, he poured out something from it.

A pill of Durengjia was placed in the palm of his hand and played with it with admiration. It could be seen that he seemed to want to swallow it in one gulp! But in the end, he endured it, stuffed the pill back into the bottle, and closed it.

cover.

This time, he waved his hand, and the surrounding villagers who were holding weapons finally put down their weapons and no longer faced Ariel and Sweet Cheese with a stern attitude.

"It seems that you are really businessmen. It is not easy to bring Happy San from Blue Bay."

At this point, Ariel finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What is relaxing is that the middle-aged man in front of him has finally reduced his doubts about himself to a minimum. However, this also confirms that he is indeed in the Hunter constellation now, and the most essential problem is still unresolved.

"But you businessmen are really disgusting."

The middle-aged man weighed a bottle of pills, then raised it in front of Ariel and said viciously: "According to what you just said, this is a special product, right? The price can be increased by more than ten times, right? Then to us

The money in the hands of these ordinary people needs to be increased by almost twenty times, right? If you just run around like this and take away so much of our money, the conscience of you businessmen has really been eaten by dogs!"

Although Ariel wanted to give a few words of defense to a businessman like herself, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this man was right~~~Forget it, it is better not to deliberately provoke the other person or bring trouble to yourself for no reason.

After a moment of silence, Ariel just looked at another bowl of swollen noodles and said: "You take the goods, at least... how about giving us a bite of food first? We are really hungry, especially my wife

, she is sick and cannot be hungry."

The middle-aged man who got Du Lengjia was slightly startled, then looked at the appearance of the mulled cheese, and saw that her eyes were mixed with fear, and she was staring at another bowl of noodles on the table.

At that moment, the middle-aged man smiled, pushed the bowl of noodles forward, and said: "Mr. Ai Luo, Ms. Sweet Wine, I have offended you many times before. My name is Frange, eat it! It is indeed not very peaceful over there at the border recently.

, I guess you also happened to encounter that unfair thing, which led to accidents during the business process. This can only be said to be unlucky for you."

After finally getting food, Ariel was also hungry, but in order to show her "loving wife" persona, she still pushed all the bowl of noodles in front of the mulled cheese.

She didn't care about the mulled cheese. She was so hungry that she completely ignored her status as a princess. She grabbed the noodles and ate them with big mouthfuls. It was obvious that she was really hungry, even if she was now

What he held in his hand was a bowl of tasteless noodles, which was more appetizing than the delicacies he usually eats.

While watching Sweet Cheese eating, Ariel said to Frange: "Mr. Frange, could you please tell me which way to the nearest big city? I hope to go home first.

I’ve suffered a big loss this time, so I have to go back and take a good rest.”

In response to Ariel's inquiry, Frange frowned. He glanced at the heavily armed farmers around him and said, "Well...it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just not convenient recently."

Ariel asked curiously: "What is inconvenient? You were just saying it was inconvenient. What is the inconvenience specifically?"

Frange looked at Ariel, looking at his eyes full of curiosity, but he could only smile and said: "I'm sorry, it's really hard to tell you this. I can only say that the recent situation

The entire area has been cordoned off. Obviously something big is about to happen. Our village is also actively preparing and will take action soon. For the sake of convenience, I can’t tell you what happened, nor how to get to the big city from our village.

."

The recent big event, if you think about it carefully, it should be that the princess of the Blue Bay Empire is going to the Hunter Empire as an envoy.

Now that the princess is missing, whether the Hunter Empire really wants to completely break up with Lanwan and start actively preparing for war, or it needs to immediately organize a rescue to rescue the princess, it is certain that the road will be closed and investigated.

But after hearing the news, Ariel felt a little more confident.

At least this means that this village is not too far away from the lava plain battlefield where the fierce battle took place that day. If it is speculated... it should be within a distance of about three days.

At this point, Ariel made a very embarrassed expression and said: "Mr. Frange, in this case... when can we go home? You see, we husband and wife don't have anything valuable on us.

If we are trapped here all the time, aren’t we going to starve to death here?”

Frange immediately let out a burst of hearty laughter: "Hahahaha, since you are a guest, how can you starve to death in our village? Don't worry, since you have no way to leave, you can stay in our village for the time being. Three days a day

Although I won’t be able to provide you with any good food, it’s not difficult to ensure that you and your wife are full.”

After saying that, Frange stood up, waved to Ariel and the sweet wine cheese who had already finished a large bowl of noodles, and said, "I will arrange for you to stay where you want to stay."

The two men got up and followed Frange.

After walking through several acres of fields, he led the two of them to a small wooden house about fifteen minutes away from the center of the village, and said: "During this period, I would like you two to stay here for a while. There is boiling water inside."

utensils, you two must be exhausted, right? You can go to bed early today, and I will take you two to visit our village tomorrow. By the way, your wife is sick, right? Then I will return this bottle to you, and the rest

If the joy is gone, I will use it as a mortgage and put it in our village first."

After seeing Frange off, Ariel opened the door, and immediately a musty smell hit her face. It was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.

Ariel pinched her nose and pushed open the doors and windows to try to ventilate the room. At the same time, she looked at the room, which was about twenty square meters, and then waved to the mulled cheese at the door to let her in.

At first, the princess froze at the door and refused to come in. After a long time, Ariel stepped forward and took her hand, half pulling and half dragging her in.

As soon as he walked in, Sweet Wine Cheese had a look of disgust on his face, and at the same time he felt like he wanted to burn the place down right away.

"Thankfully, you are from the Duke's Palace. How can you live in a place like this?"

After confirming that there was no one else outside the door, Sweet Wine Cheese finally spoke.

Ariel shrugged, bent down to the nearby stove, lit a fire and started boiling water.

Rummy had been holding it in for a day, and now they were finally alone together. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Ariel's arm, saying, "Also, you are so brave! How dare you take advantage of me?! That hunter

The crazy dog ​​in Virtues actually said I’m ugly?!”

Obviously, what this princess cares about most is the last sentence.

Ariel smiled, gently pushed her hand away, and said, "Is this important? The important thing is that we now have a place to live and food. The next thing to consider is how to contact our own people."

Seeing Ariel's indifferent expression, Sweet Cheese snorted and sat down on the bed next to her. As soon as he sat down, a puff of dust flew up.

She quickly played up, waving her hands in front of her nose, and said with a pinched voice: "Also, how did you know that they were testing us? At that time, I really thought they were ours, almost.

It’s exposed.”

Ariel put her hands on her hips and said: "Actually, it's very simple. If they really see through our disguise right away, then that Frange won't continue to keep suppressing us like the villagers, and then use lectures to

They asked us about our status. They could have arrested us quickly and put us in a cell. But it was precisely because they had no way of determining whether we were really doing business that they just trapped us to intimidate us and wanted to

We were so frightened that we spoke out."

Sweet Wine Cheese glanced at the dusty sheets, stood at the door, and said: "Huh, you have a way. Okay! I admit that you did a good job. Now make the bed for me. I want to

rest."

Ariel didn't move at all. She just glanced at the bed and said, "Go and clean it up yourself. I'm still lighting the fire."

Sweet wine cheese was stunned for a moment, but then the princess's temper got worse: "What did you say? How dare you disobey me?! I was giving you face just now, but you don't know how to flatter me now! I'm the princess!"

"You are a princess, and I am still your husband."

Ariel's words are not forgiving at all. With her weak strength, if she doesn't have a stronger momentum to overwhelm her, God knows how she will be tortured by this princess——

"And our current situation cannot be said to be relaxing. If you act like a princess and your temper is exposed, I won't be able to save you."

"you!"

After holding back his mouth, Sweet Wine Cheese snorted, and finally faced Ariel, he could only stomp his feet and grit his teeth towards the sheets over there.

But it was obvious that the princess didn't know how to make the bed, so she looked very embarrassed looking at the dusty sheets and didn't know what to do.

Of course, Ariel would not deliberately embarrass her. After boiling the water, she came over, picked up the sheets and threw them directly on Sweet Cheese's head, letting her hug her. The two of them walked out of the door together, holding the sheets against the sunset.

Shake it several times and shake it thoroughly to remove the dust.

"It's so dirty... Even if it's safe, I can't stand this place for long... You'd better find a way to get me back as soon as possible."

After shaking the sheets, Sweet Wine Cheese coughed twice, full of complaints.

Ariel put the sheets over her head and sneered: "Safe? We are still far from safety. Even though Frange seems to believe in us, in fact we are far from gaining their

Trust. Otherwise, we would not be put in such a remote place. It is surrounded by open space and is an excellent location to monitor us."

Sweet Cheese pulled the sheets off his face in twos and twos, and said in surprise: "So, we are not out of danger yet? What should we do?"

Ariel curled her lips, looked around the village, and said, "What else can we do? Of course we have to find a way to gain the trust of the villagers. The most effective way is to find a way for them to make a fortune.

money."

Having said that, if you really want to make some money in a place like this, you still need to use your brain a little bit.

After all, I don’t even know what village I am in. I don’t even know the village’s specialties, lack of supplies, and daily status. In this case, I must find out the wealth growth point of this village as quickly as possible...

This is indeed somewhat difficult.

However, you have to do it no matter how difficult it is, right? After all, if you want to save yourself and the lives of the princess behind you, the best way is of course to tie the economic development of this village to yourself. This is the path for Ellie

Tried and true, since it can flow unimpeded within the Blue Bay Empire, there shouldn't be any big problems within the territory of the Hunter Territory.

Ariel thought carefully, recalling everything she had experienced along the way, and wondering where to start.

But when she was thinking hard, she suddenly noticed that the sweet cheese behind her had become quiet. She turned around and saw the girl squatting on the ground twitchingly, her hands even touching her arms.

He didn't even dare, and drool began to flow from the corners of his mouth, slowly trembling.

"Hahaha……"

She looked as if she had been frozen, her whole body was stiff, and her eyes were even more confused. However, when she realized that Ariel had noticed her now, the princess stretched out her hand with difficulty and said -
To be continued...
