Mysterious beings, terrifying anomalies, and a magnificent, colorful world undergoing change~ Who stands out in the impact of an otherworldly invasion? An ancient swindler organization tells you th...
Magson, the high spiritual realm, and the stormy mountains and canyons of the north.
An Aksen caravan was advancing. Six four-legged camels as big as rhinos were carrying black cargo boxes on their backs. Their heads were very broad and flat, like a Triceratops without horns and with a flattened face.
There were six or seven small Aksen merchants sitting on each camel.
These little guys, who were black with a hint of gray-green or dark green, sat on the camel's back with a relaxed look and chatted with each other.
The camel in the lead was a size larger than the five behind it, with a weathered scar on its face. Like an old horse that knew the way, it walked steadily through the mountains and rivers.
It stopped when it reached a location of collapsed rocks in front. This was probably the place where the landform had collapsed due to mountain torrents or other external factors.
The camel looked around, sniffed, and turned its head to face Aksen who was sitting on its back.
"Captain Shang, this is it!"
Pippi pulled the gray cloak covering her body. Under the scratch-proof and waterproof outer layer, the inside was made of thick velvet. In addition to the hood, there was a circle of farmed fox fur around her neck.
This is a body cloak specially made for Pipi's merchant group members by the skilled craftsmen within the Dawn Association. It was made on Earth based on Pipi's body data.
Not only does it have good thermal insulation effects, it also looks great.
While the camel was talking, Pippi was also observing his surroundings.
"Thanks a lot."
After saying that, Pipi jumped off the camel, and the other Aksens also jumped off the camel. Some of them took out small biscuit-like things from their vest pockets and fed them to the camel, while others took out their kettles and drank a few sips themselves, then poured some into the container for the camel to drink.
Pippi and two other sturdy Aksens walked behind a pile of rocks, where there was a hidden cave.
"Let's go here. It's a natural blank spot. It's hard to find if you haven't been here before."
After saying that, Pippi reached into his vest pocket and, like a magic trick, pulled out a mirror that was much taller than his body.
The other two Aksens quickly caught it to prevent the mirror from being broken, and then the three of them worked together to carefully place the heavy mirror deep into the cave.
"Captain Shang, it should be fine to put it here, right?"
"Well, let's go!"
Except for Pippi, other Kaknisen only knew that this was a special business transaction. The buyer paid the price of the goods in advance and asked the merchant group to deliver the required special goods to a place like this. Then the group leader unilaterally notified the buyer to pick it up.
Although it was a bit strange, it also made the participants in the caravan feel proud, because among the entire Aksen merchant community, only their Shuguang Caravan had such credit and could receive such a special business commission.
This mirror was obviously a treasure, but although the Aksens present valued it, no one wanted to embezzle the goods. They all followed Pipi on the camel and left without any reluctance.
There is a popular saying among the Shuguang Business Group: "Businessmen should be honest and trustworthy. They can be greedy but they must have their own bottom line!"
The caravan set out again. They did not come here just to place the mirrors. There were many goods stored on the camels and the small vests of each merchant, ready to trade along the way.
It is not easy to come to Magson. One has to go through several checkpoints of the Kaknisen Chamber of Commerce and privately owned channels before reaching this world.
Everyone in the Dawn Merchant Group knew that although their group had its own foundation, it still lacked its own means of access to higher worlds like Magson's. It could be said that every trip to those famous higher worlds was a loss.
But whenever there is a caravan or a certain level of profit, the caravan leader Pippi will organize this kind of caravan, because only in this kind of world can there be fairies, especially in Magson, the birthplace of fairies.
The camel was very fast and could move as fast as a galloping horse. It also had extraordinary endurance and had already walked out of the mountain stream in half a day.
The direction of advance is a fairy settlement in the north.
Although the Fairy Forest is the ancestral home of all fairies, the fairies have long since spread out and are not only found in many worlds, but are also spread throughout Magson and occupy places suitable for survival.
At this moment, they were walking on the endless plain, where the grass was only about ten to twenty inches high. After walking in the mountains for so long, the vast green they saw made them feel relaxed.
"Boom~~"
There was a muffled thunder in the sky and in the blink of an eye the dark clouds had rolled in, thick and low. It seemed that a rainstorm was inevitable, but fortunately there shouldn't be any strong winds.
"Get ready to build a shed to avoid the rain!"
Pippi roared loudly at the back, then patted the camel he was sitting on. The latter understood what he meant and began to look for a high point on the grassland.
In just a few minutes, they found a higher slope.
A black box on the back of a camel was opened, revealing a neatly folded tent inside. It was a product of modern Earth technology, but the materials and frame were all made by craftsmen from Dawn Logistics, so it was not only light but also extraordinarily tough.
"Hold up the skeleton!" "I'll unfold the account!"
"Hammer, give me the hammer!"
…
After a while of ping-pong, all of them were magical creatures with extremely high work efficiency. They worked very quickly and two large tents covering an area of 100 square meters were set up in just one or two minutes.
“Hua La La~~”
Heavy rain suddenly poured down, and the outside suddenly became hazy.
The two tents were very large, with raised waterproof layers to keep the interior dry, and there was enough space for both camels and caravan merchants.
Pippi looked at the heavy rain outside and sat in the tent with the other members, feeling a strange sense of comfort.
"Come on, get out the roasting pan and let's cook something to eat!"
When the nearly forty Aksens around heard this, their eyes lit up. You take the pot, I move the stove, and he prepares the fuel. In minutes, seven or eight small stoves were ready.
Each pot is as big as a regular hot pot, with no partitions, and is simply a flat-bottom design for adding water.
Several merchants took out packages of dry things from the box of one of the camels. If there were people from Earth here, they would definitely be very familiar with this kind of packaging. It was the instant noodles that were a must-have at home and when traveling.
Pippi missed the delicious food on Earth very much, but unfortunately, every time he transported something, it would consume a lot of magic power from the magic eye. The goods he moved were carefully selected and simplified, and he rarely transported them simply to satisfy his appetite.
This time, the instructor suddenly stuffed more than a dozen boxes of instant noodles into the supplies that were delivered, and also put some powdered red fruit in to enhance the filling effect of the instant noodles.
Compared with the development of their own enjoyment, other races in the universe are not even worthy of carrying shoes for humans. From physical touch to taste, to spiritual enjoyment, humans have developed entertainment enjoyment to the extreme, and the rich seasonings of the earth are also very colorful.
As the saying goes, environment determines eating habits. The outstanding magical powers make many magical creatures and magical creatures more inclined to use special powers to make food delicious, or directly eat naturally existing fruits and other delicacies. Even if there are some seasonings, they are mostly simple salty and sweet.
At least Aksen has few cooks.
When the instant noodles are put into the pot to cook, sprinkled with seasonings, shaken in some red fruit powder, and added with some dried meat and eggs, the rich aroma immediately spreads.
Not to mention the other Aksens, even Pippi kept swallowing his saliva.
Pipi took out a pair of chopsticks and distributed plastic forks to the other Aksens, his eyes fixed on the pot.
While waiting, he also taught other Aksen how to eat.
"Captain Shang...what is this called!!!"
"This is called instant noodles, a type of noodles!"
"Is that noodles in the pot? What animal, or what tree does this grow on?"
"It's not made from a plant called wheat. It's ground into powder and then made through many processes."
"Why not just eat the wheat grains?"
Pipi looked at this talkative guy with a chuckle.
"In that case, will we still have noodles to eat?"
The instant nature of instant noodles meant that the waiting time did not seem too long. It took only a few minutes for the noodles to be ready to eat. More than 30 Aksens had already prepared their own small bowls and were reaching forks into the pot in front of them to scoop up noodles.
The overflowing fragrance drifted out of the tent and spread far across the grassland.
The camels on the side were chewing their biscuits and taking a nap comfortably in the tent.
While eating the instant noodles in the bowl, Pipi's thoughts drifted away.
"Calculating the time, it should be about time, right?"
…
Far away in the grassland, another Aksen caravan was traveling in the rain. Compared to how comfortable Pipi and his friends were, this team of Aksen simply set up an awning on their camels.
The keen sense of smell has already detected the fragrance coming from afar.
The aroma was so tempting that the leader Aksen swallowed his saliva and ordered the team to turn around.
Although it is possible to encounter another Aknisen caravan in other worlds, the probability is definitely very small. Is it really such a coincidence this time?
Of course not!
In fact, Pipi had already figured out where and at what time to wait, the only real coincidence was the rain.
The crisis of Kaslopa was greatly contained, and Qin Xiaoxia finally had enough energy to help another student of his who was far away in Lobelika. As his ideas became clearer and clearer and he began to come into contact with the ancient magic of inspiration, the special race of Aksen became more important.
At this moment, the mentor's teachings seemed to still echo in Pippi's ears.
"A hero in people's eyes is his bright side, but to reform a nearly corrupt race, the bright means of a hero alone are not enough!"
"Your business group has shown amazing potential, and its scale and influence are growing day by day. Along with it comes crisis. Since you can foresee that you will inevitably clash violently with the old power class in the future, why not start from now on and create your own historical trajectory!"
Despite the endless distance between us, the figure by the fire seemed exceptionally tall every time it appeared in the dream.
"Meanness and cunning are often not bad qualities. When used correctly, they are wisdom!"
The mentor's voice gave Pippi strength in her heart again and again.
He remembered that on Earth, preparations like the one he was making were called "setting up a trap."
