Chapter 37 Clues about Green Water City
Wasteland Territory, Green Water City Lord's Mansion.

Winter is about to come, and the entire Wasteland Territory is very busy during this period.

Territories like Bluestone Town are busy trading ore in exchange for enough food for the entire winter, while territories like Greenwater City need to prepare for transactions, count their income, and prepare to deal with emergencies in Winterhold.

The Lord of Greenwater City remembered that before he took over the position of lord, he saw his father busy and exhausted because of the requirements of Winter Castle in the winter of one year.

Fortunately, during the more than 20 years since he took over Green Water City, the Wasteland Territory has been relatively peaceful.

But today, he received news that people from Winterhold had arrived.

The Lord of Green Water City has made preparations. As long as the amount of food requested by Winterburg is not too outrageous, he can deliver it in a short time.

But this time Winterhold's request had nothing to do with food.

The messenger sent by Winterhold brought an order from Duke Raymond, which clearly stated that a big shot from Mayos City would be arriving in the Wasteland Territory in the near future. Duke Raymond asked all lords to prepare for the reception.

Apart from this, Winterhold had no other demands.

The Lord of Green Water City breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to receive an important person than to rush to collect the food to be delivered. What's more, the whereabouts of this important person were unknown and no one knew whether he would visit Green Water City.

Even if he comes, I just need to treat him well. By then, I will have completed the task assigned by Duke Raymond, and maybe I can leave a good impression on that important person and get some benefits.

I hope this winter will be as normal as previous years.

"Since you already know the importance of that great man, I have another thing to tell you. Please take it seriously and give a reasonable explanation."

The Lord of Green Water City became nervous. He was just a small messenger, but why did the soldier's eyes look so sharp, as if he had committed some serious crime?

…………

Looking at the carriage loaded with ore parked next to the shack, Wyatt fell into deep thought, further wondering what was so strange about these ores.

If you think about it carefully, for a territory like Blue Stone Town that can only produce minerals, frequent trade with the outside world is inevitable if they want to survive.

Therefore, even though it is not winter yet, most of the caravans traveling around the Wasteland Territory are these kinds of caravans, but the demand for transactions is simply greater nowadays.

The mineral trade is going on all the time, but the Holy White Stone disappeared after flowing into the Wasteland Territory.

Does this mean that after entering the Wasteland Territory, the Holy White Stone has been well integrated into the original things in the Wasteland Territory?

The simplest and lowest-cost method is to disguise it as ore.

Ore is hard currency in the Wasteland Territory. Not to mention Greenwater City and Bluestone Town, even Winterhold needs ore to increase its fiscal revenue.

As long as the Holy White Stone is disguised as ore, it will be very easy to circulate in the Wasteland Territory.

In addition, the Wasteland Territory is too backward. The number of churches in the entire Northern Wasteland Territory combined is not as many as the number of churches in any random territory in the South.

In this case, as long as a simple disguise is done, few people can find out the whereabouts of the holy white stone.

Assuming that the holy white stone is really disguised as mineral, then a new problem arises.

Why did the pagans attack the Holy White Stone? Who was transporting the Holy White Stone? What was the purpose of the Holy White Stone flowing into the Wasteland Territory?
Holy White Stone is a very important strategic resource. In the battle against heretics, if combatants want to go deep into a heavily polluted battlefield, they must wear Holy White Stone to ensure their safety.

Smuggling holy white stone is an unforgivable felony, not to mention that it is the stock of the four institutes. Even if all your nine clans are Hydras, there are not enough heads to chop off.

The most important thing is that the Holy White Stone came from the Fourth Institute, and the Fourth Institute cannot be separated from the responsibility.

Wyatt alone is not to be afraid of, what is important is the whole four. Helen, Dorothy, Adela...

We must find out the whereabouts of the Holy White Stone as soon as possible. The sooner we find out, the more initiative we will have.

Wyatt hid in the corner and quietly cast a wide-area spell that covered the entire shack area.

This is the magic used by the church to test the quality of the holy white stone. This time, Wyatt only needs to confirm whether there is holy white stone in this batch of ore, so it can have both range and concealment.

Wyatt was lucky, as the Holy White Stone actually reacted in the carriage parked in the shanty area.

Wyatt retracted his magic, walked out of his hiding corner, and began to search for the location of the carriage.

Wyatt pretended to be a passerby. The habits he developed during his time in the military made his investigative ability no different from that of a professional.

With just a few glances, Wyatt was sure that the people responsible for escorting the Holy White Stone were not simple.

He was dressed simply, and looked like a commoner like Henry, only with a slightly higher income, but there was something incongruous about him.

Under the rough cloth, one can see a sturdy body, which is definitely not a physique that common people can possess. They are not skinny, and it can be seen that they have received knight training and have better nutritional intake than common people, at least they are not short of meat.

They are knights, or at least fighters, and it can be seen that they are not good at disguise. It is too difficult for them to do a job that requires disguise.

There are many doubts. Why did this group of professionally trained fighters disguise themselves to escort the holy white stone? Who gave them the instructions?

It seems that a big man needs the holy white stone.

Wyatt originally wanted to wander around the Wasteland Territory to see if he could find any clues, and this was also the purpose of his visit to Green Water City.

I didn't expect to get something so soon. It seems that I will have to visit the area north of Winterhold later. Next, I have to change my itinerary and continue to Winterhold.

Now we should go and get the horses back from Henry and set off for Winterhold tomorrow.

Wyatt remembered where Henry and the others had parked their carriage. He was about to go up and talk to them, but he found that someone seemed to have come to visit earlier.

Two men dressed as guards appeared in front of the shack of Henry and his companions. Henry, the captain of the caravan, was negotiating with them. Judging from their expressions, there seemed to be a conflict between the two sides.

Wyatt found that he seemed to have arrived at the wrong time and seemed to be dragged into the dispute.

"Mr. Wyatt, you've arrived just in time! Please help us!"

Wyatt felt that he had done enough. Not only did he help them get rid of the pagans and save their lives, he also gave them three horses so that they could reach Green Water City smoothly.

Now I have to help with this inexplicable conflict. I hope this conflict really has something to do with me.

"What happened?"

"It's like this, Mr. Wyatt. They don't believe we are a caravan coming to Bluestone Town to trade grain. They suspect we are pagans. Can you bear witness? We were attacked by pagans on the way here. How could we be pagans?"

"They should have come with identification documents issued by the Lord of Bluestone Town, otherwise they can't even enter the city gate. Didn't you two check it?"

"It's just a piece of torn paper. What we want to see is a certificate issued by the Green Water City officials. Do you have it? No! Then how are you going to prove that you are pagans?"

The inspection at the city gate and the inspection inside the city actually required two different documents. Wyatt finally understood that these guards were planning to rip off the foreign caravans.
