Chapter 10 Lionheart Chamber of Commerce (4K Chapter)
Chrisf Sharp......What is his purpose? The moment when Surman saw the other party, the most impressive scene appeared in his mind; it was before setting off, Chrisf loudly announced to all the members of the caravan that he had obtained the transfer order from the General Assembly, and that he would be promoted to senior director just when this "route" ended.
This position is considered to be a middle-level member of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, the flag was erected too early. Judging from the results, this caravan encountered the White Wolf Group and suffered losses. As the leader of the caravan, Chrisf had an undeniable responsibility. Afterwards, he would inevitably be held accountable... It seems that this gentleman's promotion was not only a failure, but also a few years later.
"Mr. Surman, thank you very much for your help and saved us."
As a member of the director-level member of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, Chrisf naturally knew the "Extraordinary". Even if he couldn't see the specific process of the battle, he could guess that Surman was an "Extraordinary". After all, ordinary people do not have the ability and can only solve the entire White Wolf Group. You must know that it is the famous "Silver Wolf" Hawthorne...
In view of this, Chrisf's tone was very respectful. Even though the other party was once his "subordinate" and was still an ordinary member of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, Chrisf did not dare to put on airs, but was careful-
"Are you planning for the next trip?" Chrisf glanced at the gathering place behind him, and involuntarily, he reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Continue to follow the caravan until the next civilized city-state." Surman noticed his gaze and looked at it. When he witnessed the noisy gathering point, Surman felt enlightened and understood the real reason for the other party's nervousness.
"Very good!"
Hearing this reply, Chrisf said excitedly: "Since you are willing to stay, why don't you consider re-signing with our Lionheart Chamber of Commerce and joining us?"
After saying that, Chrisf hurriedly added-
"Of course, it's definitely not an ordinary member!"
“I can assure you that, in this regard, as long as you are willing to join the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, you will immediately obtain a director-level position and be responsible for trade matters in a region alone.
Of course, if you contribute enough, you can also be promoted to senior director quickly…”
Surman raised his hand and interrupted the other party's narrative like a pyramid scheme dealer, and said with a smile: "You seem to have encountered some minor trouble? Mr. Chrisf, it seems that the sequelae of this distress has not ended yet."
Chrisf's tone stopped and his face looked awkward: "Yes...yes, other passengers demand compensation. According to the trade rules of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, a part of the travel expenses will be refunded. Of course, this is not the most important thing."
The implication is that the most important thing is not a refund, but as the supervisor, Chrisph, who has to remember a black account in his credit book, which seriously affected his promotion.
In order to eliminate the influence, Chrisf intends to win over a "extraordinary" to join the group? Surman guessed the other party's idea. This is a good solution. If successful, Chrisf will not only be safe, but will even have credit.
The extraordinary person has a high status and a clean identity, and is very popular among major forces.
For example, if Surman went to Gangdian City and showed his identity, well... As a remnant of the Stuart family, he would definitely be wanted by major city-states, and he would probably be surrounded and suppressed by them. But if he were an extraordinary person from a normal background, he would easily receive an olive branch from the city guards or invitation letters from the noble forces.
As for the private chambers of commerce, which are lower than the official power, they are even more enthusiastic.
Surman was sure that if he joined the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, as Chrisf said, he would definitely jump from an ordinary member to a director-level member, but Surman was not in a hurry to agree.
“I need a rest place.”
Surman neither refused nor agreed. He just raised his chin and gently tapped towards the gathering point not far away.
Seeing this, Chrisf was overjoyed and his fat body shook a few times. He had no hope of a few words to allow an extraordinary person to join the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce. As a special group that is above ordinary people, he naturally has their reserve.
As long as Surman does not explicitly refuse, it means that there is still hope, which is enough to prevent Chrisph from neglecting.
"No problem!" Chrisf was very attentive and took the initiative to lead the way. At this time, Surman nodded slightly to the little dwarf beside him: "Look, you are also on the road alone, come with me together."
The dwarf was slightly stunned, his dirty face, which was smeared by the mud, looked at Surman first, then looked at the gathering point not far away, and after weighing the pros and cons, the dwarf nodded slightly, without saying a word, and followed Surman behind.
Under the leadership of Chrisf, the three returned to the gathering point, which is also the central area of the entire convoy.
At this moment, the crowds of tourists who broke free from the iron cage and regained their lives had already passed the excitement period and began to reorganize the order under the organization of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, they were not very at ease, especially when someone saw Chrisf's figure, they immediately shouted-
"Winter is on the way, and the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce must make up for our losses!"
"I can't believe that under your leadership, we actually crashed into the trap of the group of vassals..."
"According to the contract, you must bear the greatest responsibility and compensate, at least the gold pounds that the bandits searched from me..."
The bustling quarrels rushed towards them like a tide, but when Surman stepped into their sight step by step under the lantern, the whole scene was immediately silent, like a duck being stuck in his neck - after all, they all saw Surman returning from the wind and snow with blood on his body. He was a single-handed man who overturned the entire White Wolf Group!
Some people even shrank their necks and did not dare to make any more noise.
Surman raised his eyelids and swept everyone-
"You still have the leisure to argue. No one can guarantee that in the snowy field in the cold soil in the north, there will be no other group of vassals in your sight in the next second. Or do you think there is only one 'white wolf group' on the snowy field?"
As soon as these words came out, the passengers present burst into cold spines and did not dare to have any disputes. At least before getting out of danger, no one dared to delay the matter. So they turned to pack up their luggage or searched for the lost snow nightmare horse, just hoping to leave as soon as possible.
If Chrisf had said this, it would definitely not have such a great effect. It was mainly because of Surman's series of performances that raised his reputation in the caravan to the limit. At least, his current words are much more effective than Chrisf.
——Even for the members of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, this is the same.
Chrisf breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Surman with great gratitude. The next moment, Chrisf ordered a few subordinates and immediately arranged a carriage for Surman. The decoration was quite exquisite and the cost was not low. The most eye-catching thing was that there was still a snow nightmare horse in front of the carriage. The other party was locked tightly. Although there was a riot and he had never broken free from the reins, he was also an extremely small number in the entire convoy and could be called a "carriage".
This is a huge sum of money...
There was nothing to say along the way, only the sound of the snowy night.
Obviously, Surman is still a nominal member of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, but both of them did not mention this matter in a tacit understanding.
In Chrisf's opinion, Surman did not reveal his strength, but pretended to be an ordinary person and was living in the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce. As long as his mind was normal, he could guess some problems with Surman's identity.
However, it is the same reason for Chrisf to be willing to recruit the other party. If there is no problem, is it not good for others to join the ancient nobles or the Church of the Lord? How can they look down on private chambers of commerce? This kind of power with a lower level than them? The simple reason for good birds to choose trees to live on, and the same is true for the other way around.
Watching Surman and the little dwarf with most of his face hidden under the cloak, after the two got into the car, Chrisff breathed a sigh of relief and began to command his men to reorganize the convoy. He ordered the majority of the iron cages to be abandoned, and the other part of the carriage was dismantled into parts, carrying only important supplies, and heading towards Gangdian City as most people walked forward.
Because most of the Xueyan Horses escaped, only a few remaining horses remain, and it is impossible to rely entirely on the footing of the animal as before, so most people have to rely on walking.
Of course, Surman is not listed...
Under the wind and snow, everyone's figures gradually blurred and eventually disappeared. Xueyuan wiped away their footprints.
A few hours later.
On the endless snow fields, suddenly, a group of men and women wearing delicate leather armor, eagle feather hats on their heads and delicate steel bows on their waists appeared from the horizon.
Not long after, they arrived at the battle between the White Wolf Group and Surman. A woman with her chest straight and her chin slightly raised, with a pretty face, but with a bit of arrogance, suddenly raised her hand and everyone stopped.
“There is a bloody smell…”
The woman in leather armor sniffed her nose. The next moment, she looked at the snow pile on the ground. The servant beside her understood her eyes and immediately someone came forward to dig the snow. A few minutes later, the man paused and a corpse was pulled out from under the snow layer.
——It was the body of the ‘Silver Wolf’ Hawthorne!
Seeing this corpse, the face of the woman in leather armor changed suddenly. Without her speaking orders, the nearby members took action immediately.
Soon, the shallow snow nearby was swept away, and the remaining scenes after the night war were displayed in front of everyone.
"Ms. Selena, the victims are members of the White Wolf Group, and the 'Silver Wolf' Hawthorne..." said a young man dressed in a gray windbreaker respectfully.
The arrogant woman called "Selina" glanced at him coldly: "I haven't lost my eyesight and can recognize the appearance of the "Silver Wolf". What I want to know is, who did a good thing? Or, what happened to the White Wolf Group?"
If anyone is here, he will definitely be surprised by Selena's words, because they are wearing badges on their chests, with pure white snowflakes, surrounded by the eternal iron blade, and are the "pastors".
As tourers, their mission is to hunt the Wasteland Group, but the tone of Selena and the White Wolf Group at this moment definitely subverts their normal image. If ordinary people see it, it will cause large-scale panic.
After hearing this, the young man in gray was scolded was not angry, but said respectfully: "Based on the 'arrowers' who are good at tracking, from the scene that they returned to the spot, it seems that the White Wolf Group was hunting an ordinary caravan."
"It's a pity that they were killed during the transportation process and the whole group was destroyed."
After saying that, the young man in gray paused and cautiously said: "Ms. Selena, are we going to track down that caravan?"
Selena thought for a moment, and suddenly, she sneered: "Ordinary caravan? Tell me that an ordinary caravan has the ability to destroy the White Wolf Group, and even the 'Silver Wolf' was trapped in the hands of the other party. Will people of this kind of strength be hired by ordinary caravans?"
The young man in gray was stunned. The next moment, he realized something: "What you mean is..."
"Ha, isn't it very obvious? This is a 'trap' against us." Selena confidently: "They disguised themselves as ordinary caravans and seduced the White Wolf Group to hunt them. During the transportation process, an ambusher hidden in the dark suddenly attacked and destroyed the entire White Wolf Group in one fell swoop, leaving behind an extremely obvious 'clues'-"
"Have you tracked the whereabouts of that caravan?"
"Ms. Selena, some... they did not use extraordinary means to cover up their whereabouts. Of course, it may also be the other party's extraordinary profession, which is not suitable for eliminating traces, such as knights, lawmakers..." The young man in gray said, his voice becoming weaker and weaker. Obviously, he also realized that something was wrong.
"Ha, they left traces on purpose..." Selena shook her head and turned around and ordered: "Don't worry about these things, it's urgent to track the remnants of the 'Stuart' family, help our old opponents and clean them up."
Since they have determined that caravan is a "trap", they naturally have no need to hit them, and they have to bite the bullet and run into them.
Who knows, what trap is waiting for them ahead?
Selena chose to ignore it. In her opinion, there is a high probability that this trap was arranged by the "mercury scale" and was specifically targeted at this group of people. After all, they are members of the "natural protection", and the two major sects are in the same power.
"yes!"
Everyone followed her orders, but before leaving, the young man in gray couldn't help but ask: "Ms. Selena, we are obviously in the same situation as the 'mercury Libra', why do we still need to help them chase the 'traitor'?"
Selena glanced at him, and suddenly, the lady's tone was amusing: "With your IQ, you can see that the Stuart family is taking the blame, so the same goes for others. This is an obvious thing."
"So, we helped Mercury Libra to eliminate the 'traitor', which made others feel heartbroken and dared not be loyal to Mercury Libra."
Under the sudden realization of the young man in gray, everyone chose another direction and continued to pursue the remnants of the Stuart family.
Soon, this group of chasers disappeared at the end of the snow field.
Chapter completed!
