On the main rush of Black Valley and Feronte, there is a town called Doronbel, which is not far from Duanlong Valley. It is a town developed by mercenaries and merchants.

Of course, it is better to say that this is a market than a town. Doronbel does not have many actual residents, because there are not too deliberate projects around it, and at most there are some inexpensive hotels. But then again, the taverns here are doing very well. Four or five taverns are opened on the only street in Feronte County.

In the past, merchants usually chose to take a break here and exchange news from the north and south with their peers or adventurers. Some merchants even came to Doronbert directly to try their luck. When doing business in this free distribution center, they could save the heavy tariffs in other cities. For adventurers, they could accumulate energy for their next adventure, prepare enough food and water, and sell the treasures and spoils they had just brought back from the dungeon.

It can be said that it is precisely because Doronbert does not have a clear ownership that this small trade distribution center has gradually developed and reached a certain scale.

But recently, the situation in Doronbert has become a little different.

It was impossible that so many caravans gathered here. After all, the adventurers who went to the dungeon were just small expenses. After all, if merchants want to make money, a large amount of goods would still be sold to the lords or civilians with fiefs. However, recently, a large number of merchants flocked in against common sense. But the most incredible thing is that if their goods were unloaded in Doronbert, someone would come to settle them automatically. Then the next day, the group of merchants who had made a lot of money would leave with satisfaction on the emptied trucks and carrying heavy gold coins.

Isn't this very strange?

More than once in the tavern, who took the goods, if there were only one or two convoys, the other party might be a rich gentry who had no money, or a rich merchant who wanted to stock up on the goods, but the goods flowing into Doronbert these days were calculated by dozens or hundreds of times, and this scale was a bit terrifying.

Anyone who is a good person will naturally inquire about it, but the merchants who have traded with each other either keep silent or shake their heads and say they don’t know. The merchants only care whether they have enough money in their hands. Who would follow the bottom of a customer who deliberately conceals his identity? If they anger the other party and do not accept their own goods, isn’t this a great opportunity to make money in vain?

You know, this kind of transaction is rare that you don’t have to pay high tariffs, especially since the south has suddenly raised tariffs like a few counties in the south. Even a normal person would not be willing to get into trouble.

The buzzers can't ask for direct related news from the merchants, but there are quite a lot of indirect news, just like these merchants distributed throughout the country will flock to the call of the Federation of Commerce - that is to say, at least the identity of this mysterious person has a close relationship with the Federation of Commerce.

*The so-called business alliance is an interest alliance that integrates merchants, with the support of nobles and big merchants behind it. There are special offices and contact staff in major cities such as the Demon King City of Lords Castle. It can be said that the business alliance is a huge network of relationships, but not every businessman must join the business alliance.

However, there is still too little information to buy, and these messages are actually not of much use. Even if you guess who is behind the scenes, the other party will not reward you with a gold coin, and you still have to work diligently.

However, a few days after this incident became popular, Doronbert became lively again because of another incident.

That is, near Doronbert, a bandit specializing in robbing people, money and property appeared.

This bandits specialize in robbing the merchants who passed by were merciless. They were wearing black armor and rode dragons. It was the establishment of the Kingdom Dragon Corps. It made people unable to understand why the good army did not do the work, but they actually started to do these robbers, but the merchants were also mute and ate Coptis.

Because Doronbert does not belong to any county territory, although you trade goods here and exempt taxes, the problem lies here. If you are robbed, no one will come to help you stand out.

The desperate merchants hired mercenaries to protect themselves, but they soon discovered that the group of guys dressed like Dragon Corps also had the strength of Dragon Corps. This is the group of people in the army at all!

The businessmen were angry when they left. Who did this?

At this time, news followed up again. The merchants who had been robbed of goods and sat in the tavern drinking to drown their sorrows recalled that the bandits who robbed their goods always said Guruling, Lancelot, etc. It seemed that the infamous little son of the collar should have done it!

Of course, not only those who were robbed and were really unlucky businessmen, there must be some lackeys sent by Earl Du Peng to slander, but the most outrageous thing about this is that the most powerful person who poured shit and pee on Guruling Lancelot was a black iron dwarf named Rud.

It is said that he is a famous adventurer. Although there is no evidence, those who have seen him say that he is a knowledgeable and knowledgeable guy. The terrifying scar on his chest is the medal of honor left by the big monster Minotaur not long ago.

"I tell you, Lancelot, the youngest son of Lord Lord, tsk, it's really a bad thing!" The black iron dwarf Rud punched the table angrily, causing the wine in the wooden cup to jump into a wave: "Do you know, the people who robbed nearby recently were actually the people he sent!"

The audience around them who were unknown were nervous, and some people asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

"Hmph, evidence, I tell you, this is the evidence!" With a bang, Rud slapped a note on the table: "This is what the group of black-armored soldiers left at the scene after robbing the business brigade. The signature on this note is Lancelot-Red-Igusas, the county commander of Guruling."

This note was pulled up by someone and looked at it, and handed it to the swordsman beside him.

The swordsman was Ou Fan. It turned out that he came out of the Duanlong Valley. Ou Fan and his team rushed to Doronbel early. However, the timing was not the same as the Dragon Rider Corps that robbed them. They had heard about the recent news of robbers appearing nearby. Compared with the two, Ou Fan felt that these people were probably the same group of people who robbed their things, so he planned to go to the town to learn more information and follow the clues.

Ou Fan looked at the handwriting on it and frowned. He did not know the handwriting of Lancelot, the governor of Gululing County, but he had also heard about this playboy. After all, the daughter of the duke and him... After all, Ou Fan did not think that the beautiful handwriting was written by that man.

"But this may also be a frame-up," said Ou Fan.

Originally, those who heard someone deliberately slander Lance, and those lackeys sent by the count were eager for this short man to say a little bit more, but now someone jumped out to sing a show. The group of earl lackeys couldn't help but cursed loudly: "What do you know? The robbed merchants said that it was done by Lancelot of Guruling."

"So where are the merchants you are talking about?" Ou Fan was still unmoved. Instead, he glanced at the other party with his sharp eyes. The little habit left by some of the soldiers of the other party naturally could not escape the eyes of the swordsman who was born in the army. This was really a bit abrupt between a group of merchants and adventurers.

The Count's lackeys can now determine that Ofan and his gang were the scrubbers hired by Lance. They immediately found the target of attack like a mad dog and squirted: "Tsk tsk, I see you are specializing in picking tricks. It is probably the lackey sent by Lancelot. No, judging from your outfit, you might be one of those robbers!"

To this extent, the envoys around Oufan were stunned and then became obviously furious - they were already angry enough to be put on by someone, but now the victim has been slandered as the perpetrator.

But Ou Fan reached out to stop the respondents around him, and laughed, "I said, you speak with evidence. Is it really okay for you to speak nonsense like this? Let's not talk about Gululing being separated from a mountain from a county. Even if he can pass through Black Valley County without knowing it, how can he send back the supplies he robbed?"

This question made the count's lackeys confused. Yes, what should he do to transport the things back?

"I understand!" The black iron dwarf slapped the table at this time. Everyone ignored his existence and spoke on his own, which made him very upset. He roared, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The Count's lackey had just fallen into a disadvantage. At this time, when he saw the mysterious allies about to show their power, he immediately cast an expectant look at him. Who knew that the dwarf actually said: "I understand, the Count Du Peng of Black Valley County and the county magistrate of Guruling are in the same group!"

As soon as this said, everyone was uproaring, and the group of earls were really crying. Damn, I thought a god ally had come, but I didn't expect that this was actually a pig teammate.

The Count's lackeys shook their heads quickly. This disaster could not be drawn to the Count, otherwise the storm would not be able to cover the fire. After all, the robbed goods were escorted to the Count Du Peng in Black Valley Castle: "Don't talk nonsense, what about Earl Du Peng? How could it be with Guruling? You are clearly slandering."

"I heard that the Earl has recently increased the taxes in the south and deliberately blocked the merchants from letting them go south. I heard that it seemed that the Earl and the county magistrate of Guruling had personal grievances or something." At this time, someone interrupted.

The Count's lackey quickly borrowed the donkey and said, "That's right, that's why I said that the Count could not be in the same group as Lancelot."

"Then this is strange. If the Count was not a group with Gululing and blocked two counties, logically speaking, the road to Gululing should have been cut off. It is impossible for such a large group of people to come and go freely, right?"

After saying this, the merchants around him nodded. Many of them had to stop their dream of making money in Guruling because of the order from Earl Du Peng, so they had always hated this Earl.

"I understand, so that's it!" The black iron dwarf over there suddenly seemed to have understood something. His loud voice roared, which scared everyone. Rud pointed to the faces of the group of earls and said, "Ah, I finally figured it out. So that's it. Those bandits are actually Earl Du Peng's people. He can't stand these merchants buying and selling near his territory and not paying taxes. He simply robbed the things and then accused the county magistrate of Guruling. I wondered, how could anyone be so stupid and even had to report their own name after the robbery. It turned out that this kind of thing is doing!"
