The monster-controlled area, which hadn't seen a formal caravan for a long time, finally welcomed its first caravan... The previous caravans from Silvermoon Tree Garden and those war merchants with exorbitant prices certainly didn't qualify as formal caravans.
This caravan from the Empire formally submitted its application to enter the Monster Kingdom, although it still did not use the more formal term "Monster-Controlled Area" on the document, but instead chose "Monster Kingdom".
However, this did not prevent the Demon King's general Lan Qin Gu from selling the goods to these caravans.
Currently, the specialty of the Demon King's territory is Blue Scutellaria, a rather unique crop that is indeed quite popular in countries around the world... although Yinla has hardly ever eaten it before.
It's also possible that you just haven't paid much attention to it before.
Of course, even if the main purpose of these caravans is to acquire Lan Qin Gu, it would be best to replenish some basic supplies in the Demon King's territory as well... such as pottery bowls and basins that are frequently consumed.
"So smooth..."
The man leading the caravan said this. Apart from the coachman, he was the first to notice that the ground seemed a little different. While the others were trading, he squatted down and began to study the special stone bricks on the ground.
It appears that the ground is covered by huge slabs of stone cut from fairly large rocks.
The man, who had never seen cement before, mistakenly concluded that it was a giant stone slab because of the dividing lines created by the different stages of cement construction.
"Does the Demon King's territory already have the resources to build something like this?"
The man muttered to himself, then another possibility occurred to him. He said doubtfully, "Or perhaps Lord Yinla, who has always lived in the Empire, dislikes dirt roads and thus forced the Demon King to build them?"
After all, the Empire now knows that Yinla has come to the Demon King's territory, and Yinla, who has always lived within the Empire, certainly doesn't like the feeling of stepping on mud, and he is very strong.
Furthermore, according to highly credible sources, Lady Yinla harbors a deep hatred for monsters, so she wouldn't have a friendly attitude towards them. Therefore, it's quite reasonable for her to arrogantly declare that she needs to walk on a better path.
The more the man thought about it, the more convinced he was that his guess was correct. He nodded confidently, secretly smiling to himself, feeling lucky... This would be convenient for their caravan.
"..."
Do you have pasture seeds? Alfalfa, daisy?
"..."
The caravan leader suddenly heard a familiar voice. He turned his head in disbelief and saw the man who seemed to have never changed in appearance. He exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Yinla?"
Because of his shouting, the others in the caravan also looked in this direction, and then they saw Yinla standing there with his arms crossed, looking indifferent... For many of the imperial people, seeing Yinla so close was a first.
And Ira had a good reputation in the empire, or rather... after Yuther's death, if he hadn't made Isabel immediately succeed him to the throne to show his stance, he would have really been stuck in that position.
However, once he sits on the throne, or even becomes the uncrowned king known as the "Regent," there are many things he will no longer be able to do... Therefore, such a future is definitely not within Yinla's consideration.
In particular, the throne of the empire, but if Satan Ye were to beg him to become the Demon King now, he wouldn't know what to do... After all, the Demon King's territory and the empire are different.
"I need pasture seeds, do you have them or not?"
Yinla had no intention of engaging in conversation with these people; he simply stated his position… In response, the leading merchant suppressed his excitement and waved to signal the other merchants to continue their transactions.
"Alfalfa and chrysanthemum are naturally available."
As the male merchant spoke, he smiled and chatted with Yinla, then personally returned to the carriage and unloaded two large sacks of goods, one in each hand... It was hard to imagine that his thin frame could move such heavy sacks.
However, this is precisely the nature of the [Merchant] profession. While it's unlikely they can defeat dedicated combatants, they are also beyond the reach of non-professional bandits.
Therefore, many times, those who cannot survive in this world do not even have the ability to fight to the death in the end—an emperor's anger can kill one person with a single punch; a commoner's anger can leave him half-dead.
Is this funny or sad?
"Is one bag of each enough? Or perhaps..."
Before the merchant could finish speaking, Yinla nodded directly and said, "One bag of each is enough. How much? Sell it at the normal market price?"
Although that's what he said, Yinla himself didn't know the market price of these seeds, and he wasn't particularly concerned about the specific price, but he didn't want to be ripped off.
"It's a gift for you, it's not worth much."
As the merchant spoke, he placed the seeds at Yinla's feet with a smile. He said, "Speaking of which, before the caravan set off, Lady Gurera said she would come with us, but long after the appointed time, we haven't seen her at all."
It's worth mentioning that Yinla really dislikes excuses like "I want to pay," "You don't need to pay," or "I want to pay," so he just nodded and accepted it.
As for Gurera...
Yinla could even hear chattering sounds around her, like, "My dear Yinla! Come and see the divine medicine I've concocted!" and of course... followed by the curious Yuse.
She could even hear that familiar voice echoing in her ears: "Oh! This is a super potent aphrodisiac! Yin Laqing, run! Gu Leila, you're plotting something against Yin Laqing again… *slurp* ~ I'm going to confiscate it all!"
Those two clowns... no, to be precise, in fact, there are very few people in the Empire that Ira can call friends who aren't clowns, even Ira himself seems very serious.
However, Yuther himself was surprisingly innocent. After Ingrain (Yuther's wife) died of illness, he never looked for another woman, and he also died shortly after Ingrain's death.
If Uther could have held on for another ten years, the problem of the nobility could have been solved... It's just a pity.
However, for the Demon King's territory, it's simply a matter of "luck".
...
"Gurerato, did you deliver any message?"
Yinla asked this, then immediately realized that the guy couldn't possibly have thought of delivering a message, so he said, "Then, when you go back, please pass on a message to Gureira for me—"
Merchant: "Please speak."
...
"Make her stay in the Empire... If she comes to the Demon King's territory, I'll beat her to a pulp."
