"Is there no other route for these caravans?"
"It's not impossible, but the princely family has mastered a fast and safe transportation route. Although they have to pay a considerable amount of money to purchase a pass to use it, the benefits they can ultimately obtain far exceed other routes."
"Oh? Where does it lead? It's so popular?"
Princess Hill looked at him strangely.
"It is the main road leading to Faerwen City."
"Uh, the way to my territory?"
Flo on the side spoke.
"Since the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce established a stronghold in Faerwen City to be responsible for transshipment and delivery, various chambers of commerce have gradually gathered there, and now even a business alliance organization has been established headed by the Maple Leaf Flower Chamber of Commerce. "
"Hey!? What happened? Karina never told me about it."
Princess Hill laughed, "Because this is just a trivial matter for you."
negligible?It is true that this information is useless to him, but this is not a trivial matter, is it?
"Is there any other shortcut? Do you really have to line up here?" Tiehua looked impatiently at the silent line in front of her.
Flo shook her head.
"The defense here has become very tight since a few years ago. It is said that the queen personally issued an order. We don't know why she did this. Although it is not difficult to get in, you have to go around a mountain. It also takes a lot of time.”
After thinking about it for a while, Du Wei probably guessed the reason why the defense became tighter. It is estimated that the queen gave the order because she was afraid that the weird fungus would mix with the merchant's convoy and enter the territory.
Du Wei brushed his hair handsomely.
"I can't help it. I still have to deal with this matter." However, when she passed by Tiehua, she grabbed her.
Tiehua reminded, "Don't tell me what charisma is needed again. Don't forget that we are pretending to be ordinary travelers on this trip."
"Hehe, do you think my young master only has the advantage of being handsome?"
"……if not?"
Du Wei waved Tie Hua's hand away unhappily.
"Everyone follow! I'll make an exception and let you all see my young master's ability."
Du Wei led the crowd to the checkpoint, and the officials at the checkpoint immediately showed impatient expressions when they saw them.
The officer who looked like the captain in the lead yelled at him.
"Go back to the queue for me."
Several nearby merchants and caravan guards taunted them as if they were watching a show.
"Just you poor travelers who want to jump in line?"
"Oh, this man has brought several chicks with him."
"Girls, do you want to come to my place? I'll wait a few minutes and it will be my turn."
"Hey!" Nawei, who saw this kind of scene for the first time, hid behind Du Wei in fear.
Du Wei comforted him softly.
"It's okay, those people just like to take advantage of their mouths, not to mention I'm here, I'll clean them up later, don't be afraid."
After handing Nawei over to Tiehua's care, Du Wei sneered at the group of businessmen first, and then approached the officials who had just driven them away.
"I told you to go back and line up. Are you deaf or can't understand..." The official was interrupted by the gadget in Du Wei's hand.
"Brother! It's me! Xiao Du who used to live next door to you!"
Du Wei secretly stuffed five golden coins into his hands while showing off his acting skills.
This official is also an old fox, and he put the gold coins into his arms calmly, and the expression on his face became more kind in an instant.
"Xiao Du!? Is it really you? You've grown up so much that I don't recognize you anymore. Hurry up and catch up with your brother." The old fox cooperated with them and entered a corner of the checkpoint. .
Five gold coins, how could such an official with an annual income of no more than one gold coin not be tempted.
Seeing this, the group of businessmen who taunted them just now could only swear and keep thinking.
Of course they knew that Du Wei was talking nonsense, but they couldn't do anything about it. Who made their small caravan unable to pay this kind of toll.
"Cough...Although I can make it easier for you to pass the customs first, you still have to do the inspection and questioning. First of all, what is the purpose of your coming here? Since you can take out gold coins at will, I think you should not Ordinary travelers."
While asking questions, the old fox took out a pen and paper to record.
It seemed that the old fox was not overjoyed by receiving the gold coins, but Du Wei had already expected this.
"Of course we are not ordinary travelers, but we cannot tell you why we are here at this moment."
The officer frowned at his answer.
"Sorry, I can't let you in."
"Don't worry, you'll understand when you see this thing." Du Wei pretended to be mysterious and took out another gold coin, but this gold coin was not meant to be given to him.
The officials were shocked when they saw the gold coin engraved with the woman's left face. After the shock, they immediately took back the pen and paper used for recording.
"I'm sorry for taking up your time." The attitude of the official who was still suspicious just now changed suddenly.
Du Wei waved his hands indifferently and said, "It's okay, can we leave now?"
"Of course, do you need me to arrange accommodation or other needs for you?"
"No, I just want to keep a low profile this time, and that's fine."
In this way, they were quickly released by the officials.
Nawei looked at the gold coin in his hand curiously.
"Why did he become so respectful when he saw this gold coin? Could it be that he guessed Lord Du Wei's identity?"
"Don't worry, our identities have not been exposed. The reason why he changed his attitude is because this gold coin represents that the holder is backed by the Church of Wealth."
Princess Hill also said.
"I've heard about this thing. I heard that besides being rich and powerful, the most important thing is that the holder should only issue it at the top of the Fortune Church. This is the first time I've seen the real thing." Princess Hill looked sure Quite surprised.
This item was received by Du Wei when he spent a lot of money looking for the Church of Fortune to repair the mage tower for Xiaojin. It is said that the Church of Fortune is not an ordinary stingy man. It cost almost the money to buy a small country, and finally issued such a commemorative coin. I remember he complained for a long time at that time, but he didn't expect to use it today.
"...What's the use?" Nawei still didn't quite understand the worldly affairs.
"As long as you know the person who holds this thing, you can basically ask the Fortune Church for anything." Du Wei explained.
Of course, there is also a prerequisite for this, that is, the high service fee must be affordable and the church itself must not be endangered.
"But the official just let us go when he saw the gold coins. Could it be that he is a member or follower of Fortune Church?"
Du Wei shrugged.
"Is this important? He just needs to know that I am someone that the Fortune Church values. Unless he intends to risk offending the Fortune Church, most people will choose to back down."
What are the consequences of offending Fortune Church?
At the least, they are blacklisted by the banks under the Church of Fortune, and at worst... You must know that they serve the goddess of wealth. Except for some wild druids who admire nature, no one should want to be a pauper all their lives .
246 Ruins
After leaving the outpost, everyone continued to drive their horses into the nearby deep mountains under the leadership of Flo. About an hour later, a magnificent waterfall appeared in front of them.
"That's it."
Flo looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her with a complicated expression. This used to be her home, but the prosperity of the past has long since ceased to exist.
"Flo, are you alright?" The delicate Princess Hill noticed her loneliness.
Flo smiled and shook her head, "Your Highness, don't worry, I'm fine, let's go into the ruins."
"Although you said you want to enter the ruins, I didn't see any ruins here. Could it be in the river?" Du Wei asked after looking around.
Except for the majestic and huge waterfall in front of you and the dense forests around it, there are no buildings around that can be called relics. Could it be said that the relics really sank at the bottom of the river?
"No, the waterfall in front of me is a ruin."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
Flo didn't answer, but reached out and took out a holy emblem of the Fate Sect.
As soon as the holy emblem appeared, an astonishing thing happened. The originally majestic river suddenly became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped flowing. Only then did they discover that there was a dilapidated stone gate hidden in the waterfall.
Du Wei couldn't help asking Princess Hill, "How did you discover this place back then?"
Princess Hill was stunned for a moment and asked him instead.
"Didn't Master Du Wei sense it?"
"Induction? Induction of what?"
"A strange call, similar to the call of spiritual perception."
It was Nawei who answered him, and she looked at Shimen in front of her in some confusion.
Du Wei scratched his head and said, "Uh, I didn't sense anything."
Tiehua complained, "Maybe it's because the boss is born with thicker nerves."
"You're the one with the nerves, your whole family is the nerves...wait!"
"Did you sense it?" Princess Hill asked.
"I sensed it, but it has nothing to do with this ruin."
After speaking, Du Wei snapped his fingers, and a crack in space immediately appeared above his head, and then a small figure fell from the crack, which was his familiar creeper.
Du Wei held the tower firmly with his open hand, and the first thing Xiaodi did when he fell into his arms was to look around.
"Although I let you out, but you have to be good and don't run around, this is not Knox." Du Wei instructed.
Although there is still a period of time before the fixed release time, Xiao Di clamored to come out for some reason, but what surprised Du Wei the most was that it was really obedient and did not run around, but crawled onto his shoulders and lay on its stomach. move.
Princess Hill glanced at Xiao Di and asked.
"So Master Du Wei really doesn't have any sense?"
Du Wei shook his head, "I really don't feel it."
Hearing his answer, the two masters and servants, Hill and Flo, looked at each other, both confused and unbelieving.
"Uh, what...if I'm not the Child of Destiny, will this trip be in vain?"
After all, the temple needs three children of destiny to be present at the same time to open it. If he is not the child of destiny, it means that the preparations during this period will be in vain.
Princess Hill "..."
etc! ?Haven't these two really considered the possibility that he might not be Destiny's Child?
Tiehua smoothed things over and said, "Well, anyway, let's go in first, anyway, whether the boss is the Child of Destiny will be clear soon."
"Yes, let's go." Du Wei replied.
So Tie Hua and Fu Luo went into the cave, one in front and the other behind to protect them.
Du Wei looked at the dilapidated interior of the cave with the light of the light technique.
"The stronghold of the Destiny Sect is in the cave... Flo, you grew up in the cave, right?"
Although the cave has been dusty for a long time and the interior has been dilapidated, it can still be seen that there are traces of artificial excavation and polishing, but even so, it can be seen that this place is not suitable for human habitation.
Flo smiled and said, "Lord Du Wei misunderstood, in fact this is only the altar of the Destiny Sect, and we usually live in the village near the altar."
"So you're from Keenos?"
Flo shook her head.
"I didn't have the country of Kainos at that time, but a small country that disappeared in the river of history. That small country would only send people to come when it collected taxes. This is why the Fate Sect chose this as a stronghold. The number of enemies is quite large, so we were a secret sect operating underground."
"I see."
Thinking that the Destiny Sect is really a shady organization, Tiehua, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
Princess Hill asked "What's the matter?"
"Look." Tiehua squatted down and pointed to a strange raised mound on the ground in front of her.
"Then, what's wrong there?" Nawei, who had no adventure experience, asked worriedly.
Du Wei threw Xiao Di over and answered Na Wei's question with practical actions.
