Lorraine Hill was wondering whether to sell some [blood-activating potions], because this kind of potion does not require extraordinary abilities to make, and it is also very simple for her.
"Are you buying potions?" Lorraine Hill took out a dark red glass tube, the pure red color rippling slightly. [Blood-activating Potion] (Perfect Bronze Level)
Hearing these words, the clerk's face changed slightly. He thought he was a big customer, but turned out to be a wild man selling potions.
Generally speaking, workshops will not purchase potions because the source of the potions is unknown. If something goes wrong, their reputation will be greatly affected.
"Does this lady have an alchemist qualification certificate?"
"Ugh...no." The girl shook her head.
"I'm very sorry, we don't accept things from unknown sources."
The clerk's face turned a little arrogant.
"All right."
The girl lowered her head and took back the potion in her hand. In fact, she still had several potions on her body, many of which were silver-level and gold-level. However, extraordinary powers were used in the process, so they could not be used for tasks.
It’s not easy for ordinary people to make money. I sighed in my heart and walked out of the alchemy workshop.
Let's go to Verga and have a look. The business there is more developed and there are many rich people. Get some initial capital first, and then things will be easy.
After Lorraine Hill had an exchange with Angus today, he also learned about various problems in the West Wind Kingdom and no longer had hope for this country addicted to luxury and pleasure.
Three days later, the girl got on the carriage going south and headed to the Verga Business Alliance. Looking out the carriage window, she saw the deserted fields on the roadside. The few farmers she occasionally saw looked numb, their eyes were gray, and they were turning slowly.
The soil in the fields. From time to time, people on horseback would come with whips to urge the supervisors, and even whip them maliciously.
Looking at this gloomy scene, Lorraine Hill shook his head, retracted his gaze, and no longer looked out the window of the carriage.
"It's very miserable." There were seven or eight people sitting in the traveling carriage, and a young man opposite the girl said.
"I once lived such a life." He looked out the window with an expression of reminiscence.
"In the southern part of the kingdom, many people sneak across the border and head to Verga every year."
"There are very few farmers left, and a lot of land has been laid waste."
"The nobles in the city don't care about this. The food and taxes they collect every year cannot be less.",
"The people below do not work themselves, but supervise the farmers to work all day long. If they are lazy, they will be beaten. This way we can barely survive."
"In this case, it will collapse one day sooner or later, right? The remaining people will have an even more difficult time, constantly escaping or breaking out." The girl said doubtfully.
"Yes, but this situation will change soon." The black-haired young man said firmly.
"How to change? Those nobles won't change their style so easily, right?"
Lorraine Hill didn't quite understand why the young man in front of him was so sure.
"It won't be long before you understand."
The young man showed a mysterious smile, with a kind of fanaticism and admiration in his eyes.
---------------
North of West Wind Kingdom, Ned County, early morning.
Countless wooden towers were built on the endless wilderness. Huge bonfires were lit on each tower, and the firewood burned cracklingly. Under the towers were neatly arranged gray tents, but this was not the case.
focus.
In the middle of the wilderness stood about 50,000 warriors wearing black armor. They were arranged in a neat square formation without saying a word, standing solemnly, waiting for orders. Flags of various colors and heraldry.
Dancing slowly in the thick fog in the early morning, it represents countless local families and people.
In front of the vast school grounds is a high platform built of boulders, and a dozen figures in armor are waiting quietly. Some of them are minor nobles from Ned County, some are soldiers of the kingdom, and most of them are civilians in this land.
Today they are not gathered together for fun, but to carry out a major event related to life and death. This is not only related to the future existence of various families present, but also directly affects the future of tens of millions of people in Ned County.
destiny.
That's right, they will hold high their banner today and launch an uprising and rebellion against the kingdom's centuries-long rule!
It was not that they chose their fate, but that thousands of people in Nied County chose them. These mountain people who have lived on this land since ancient times are bold and unruly. And since the kingdom conquered this land, they have dug mines and excavated
Boulder, Ned County provided a large amount of steel and precious metals for the rise of the kingdom, but the people here did not receive corresponding returns after their hard work and efforts. Most of the profits were divided up by the kingdom's great nobles and distributed to Ned.
The county's tasks are increasing.
These hard-working mountain people risk their lives and dig in dark mines, just to feed their wives and children at home, so that their elderly father can eat well. But this little wish has now been cruelly broken
The West Wind royal family has raised the tax rate again. This year, it will turn over more ore and steel to make armor and equip the army to suppress civil strife. If the quantity is not enough, they will be punished and beheaded, and this will become the breaking camel's back.
The last boulder.
A man wearing all black steel armor came to the stage. He took off his helmet to reveal his face, and there was a scar on the left side of his face. This mature and fierce-looking man was Pullman.
Pullman, this once naive boy, has now become steady and powerful. He holds a big sword and inserts it upside down on the stone platform, and then slowly glances at these resolute-looking warriors. Like him, they were all born
and grew up in this land, and today they have to sacrifice their lives for it.
Pullman took a deep breath, and then the loud voice spread throughout the wilderness.
"My compatriots in Ned County, we stand here today just to tell the world!"
"The mountain people of the Ned Mountains are free and unruly. They will no longer bow down and surrender. They will straighten their spines. They will wash away hundreds of years of oppression with iron and blood!"
"We have been forced to obey since we were born. The kingdom treats us like sluts, no matter how light or humble we are. We have been tortured by the ruthless rules to this day."
"Being called a lowly person, being ridiculed as a stupid thing stained with black ash. If this is the case, then we will transform into beasts in the darkness and take back what has been stolen."
"Tread down the ridicule and shame under your feet."
"Even if what greets us is brutal slaughter."
"We also have to fight against the trapped beasts, tearing open a road to survival with blood and teeth!"
The curtain on the high platform was also lifted at this moment. On the huge banner with a blue background were three golden morning stars. Under the stars were books, with two wheat ears surrounding them. The early morning sun rose and broke through
The mist coated this brand-new flag with a layer of gold.
The dozen or so leaders on the high platform were all born in this land. They were standing behind Pullman and watching this solemn scene. They raised their right hands and swore an oath together with the compatriots present.
"I hereby swear that I will become brothers of life and death with my compatriots present, trust each other with my life and back, and fight for the future of the Ned Mountains until death!"
The crisp sounds of swords being drawn came and went, and the sound of oaths resounded throughout the sky.
