Chapter 552: You wait for me, I'll go back to get money

On the road to the Undead Temple, a team of carriages and horses came, with undead horses filled with black energy, and liches in mighty soul armor, guarding a carriage. In the carriage was a brass dragon and a pink and cute little girl.

Even if Gust broke his head, he wouldn't think that the Supreme Holy Spirit, who was flapping six wings and planting things on the cliff not long ago, had turned into an ordinary merchant team behind the death line.

With the experience of the last infiltration, this time everyone's mentality can be said to be more calm, because last time, they discovered that the Undead Empire behind the death line is not as barren and dead as rumored outside.

There are many towns where intelligent creatures settle, and many creatures that are very rare outside can be seen everywhere here.

Along the way, everyone saw half-dragons, trolls, goblins, dwarves, tauren, cave dwellers, and of course, the most were humans.

There is no difference from the outside. Near the towns are farmland and water conservancy, and there are roads connecting the towns, and they are roads with very high grades and very good maintenance.

"These roads are comparable to the main roads between the two main cities outside. It's really too much blood," Anthony envied.

Negris poked its head out of the carriage window and agreed: "Yes, I found that the roads within His Majesty's sphere of influence seem to be built quite well, such as the Restful Abyss, the Golden Road from the World Transit Station to the Cold Ice City and the Devil Valley, built more than a thousand years ago, and it is still flat and solid now. The Restful Abyss is windy every day."

"Here too, the road is built straight and wide. Look at the road outside, the road from North Wind City to the outside can only pass one carriage, and some places have to pass each other. If it is a plain place, the road is rotten, muddy on rainy days and dusty on sunny days."

Speaking of this, Negris suddenly remembered one thing: "By the way, you borrowed the Round Rolling Demon King to build the road. How long has the road been built?"

Anthony hurriedly looked at Ang and reported: "The road from Torrent Fort, Iron Sand City to Delogo City has been built. The next road cannot be borne by us. So Silver Coin has formed a chamber of commerce responsible for building roads, called the Lulu Tong Chamber of Commerce, and invited the leaders of various cities to visit."

"Mainly visiting the section from Iron Sand Fort to Delogo City, first let the heavy carriage carrying iron sand run back and forth, and then let the Round Rolling roll twice on the spot, everyone is very interested. When Silver Coin reported the cost, many signed an intention on the spot."

"I have to say, the price reported by Silver Coin is indeed very low, almost the cost price. However, he said that he doesn't make money by building roads. He asked everyone to pay the intention money first, whoever pays first will build the road section first, and then use this intention money to acquire the building materials and carriage merchant firms in the towns along the way, and then release news to raise the price of building materials and transportation costs. Just this one hand earned the profit back."

"This doesn't count. He also induced competitors, a chamber of commerce called Black Soil, to make the other party mistakenly think that he lacked soul crystals and might not be able to drive the Round Rolling, so that the other party spared no effort to borrow money to acquire all the soul crystals on the market, and forcibly pulled the price of soul crystals up several times."

"Then he sold soul crystals on one side and pretended to be poor on the other. After the opponent exhausted the liquidity, he summoned the people of the opponent's merchant firm and the creditors who lent money to the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce, and showed all the soul crystals he possessed, and hit the price of soul crystals down on the spot."

"The Black Soil Chamber of Commerce is insolvent, and the soul crystals bought at a high price cannot be sold at the original price. Those creditors were so scared that they were about to pee blood and hurriedly urged debt, but the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce had no money to pay the debt."

"Finally, Silver Coin offered to acquire their debts at a 50% discount. Those creditors were overjoyed and transferred the debts one after another. If the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce cannot come up with money to pay the debt, the chamber of commerce will have to go bankrupt and liquidate, debt restructuring, hehe......"

"Silver Coin relied on an intention money to earn a century-old chamber of commerce from his opponent. These profiteers have too many ways to make money." Anthony shook his head and sighed.

Even Anthony sighed like this, then Negris was even more dumbfounded. It actually understands commercial knowledge, but it doesn't know that it can still play like this: "Kubada, profiteer."

Just then, Ang, who was walking in front, suddenly pulled out his hand and pointed to a house at the intersection in front and asked: "Black Soil, is this it?"

Everyone was stunned and looked up. I saw a simple two-story stone house at the corner of a three-way intersection by the road, with an old sign hanging on it—Black Soil Chamber of Commerce Mobile Station.

Negris looked at the sign for a long time and suddenly said: "Black Soil, shouldn't it refer to fertile soil? Is this a chamber of commerce of the Empire?"

"Uh, it's very possible, let's go over and see." Anthony said.

Coming to the stone house, a human death mage happened to walk out of it, preparing to close the door, but saw Ang and his party.

The death mage said apologetically: "Oh, sorry, travelers from afar, the station is about to close and cannot provide hospitality. If you need drinking water, the well is there, you can take it at will."

In this occasion, the one who came out was undoubtedly Anthony. He raised his hat and said politely: "Oh, that's really a coincidence, respected mage, may I ask when the station will open again?"

The death mage said very embarrassedly: "Let you down, the station will not open again. Our chamber of commerce has gone bankrupt and is unable to maintain the station. You must be more careful when traveling on this business road in the future."

"Ah? That's really a sad thing. Mid-life unemployment is too terrible. I wish you to find a better job as soon as possible." Anthony said regretfully.

Who knows the death mage shook his head: "No need to be sad, travelers from afar, it's just that the chamber of commerce has gone bankrupt, and I haven't lost my job. The chamber of commerce was acquired by a chamber of commerce called Lulu Tong, and they even gave us a raise, haha, this is a lucky thing, finally can leave this desolate place, bless me, and wish you a safe journey."

"Uh...... acquisition and raise? Is this Lulu Tong Chamber of Commerce so good? I heard before that those who were acquired, fearing that the old employees would be dissatisfied, often dismissed the old employees and recruited new ones."

"Sigh, what's there to be dissatisfied with? The chamber of commerce is not ours. Who cares who acquires it? The reason for dissatisfaction must be the decline in treatment. If the salary is raised, who would be dissatisfied?"

"However, I heard people say that this Silver Chamber of Commerce specifically issued an internal announcement that employees cannot be dismissed, all of them are given a raise and retained, return to report for duty, and then re-arrange positions, saying that skilled personnel are wealth, etc. It sounds like a good boss would say." The undead mage said happily.

"Oh, that's indeed a good boss. You are too lucky. I wish you smooth work, I won't disturb you, go back." Anthony raised his hat to salute.

However, seeing those signs, Anthony couldn't help but ask again: "May I ask one more question, why is it called a mobile station?"

"Tian'a Descends"

"Ah? Hahahaha, many people have asked this question before. It was not convenient to show it before, but today it happens to be leaving, so I will demonstrate it for you, please step back a little." The death mage said.

After everyone retreated a distance, the death mage clapped his hands, stomped his feet, and chanted the spell quickly.

I saw that two-story stone house actually moved rumblingly, turned into a rock giant, and climbed up by itself.

The death mage put his fingers into his mouth and blew hard, actually blowing a howl of soul.

A skeleton horse head suddenly jumped out of the ground, shook the mud off his body, and climbed up quickly.

The death mage rode on the bone horse, greeted the rock giant, waved goodbye to everyone, and walked slowly into the distance. A desolate but melodious singing voice spread throughout the wilderness—

Travelers from afar, don't be anxious, the stops along the way are just strange stations, the end of the journey is the warm hometown—

Travelers from afar, don't be sad, the companions on the road are just fellow travelers, the warm hometown has the soul to accompany—

It's just that the death mage who walked far away didn't find that the sign he hung on the stone house disappeared at some point.

Holding the sign, Ang recalled the death mage's spell, and then chanted it. In the rumbling sound, the stones on the road rolled and rolled, combining into a giant rock giant.

Negris covered its face unhappily: "Too big, too big, are you trying to attack the city? You think again, how tall is their rock giant? What mage can summon such a giant rock giant? Truth Mage?"

"Oh." Ang had to withdraw most of his magic power and let the rock giant maintain a height of six meters.

Feiti shook his head and said: "Wrong, those rocks have been modified. It should be some special method to let it infiltrate the aura of death, so in essence, it is not a rock giant, but more like an undead giant, belonging to undead magic."

"Oh, I said it was a bit strange. The mage's level is not very high, how could he summon such a big rock giant." Negris suddenly realized.

However, Ang was too lazy to do it again, hung the sign on the rock giant, and drove it to walk forward.

Just like this, disguised as a mobile station, Ang's journey was smoother than the last time. Soon they arrived at the location of the Undead Temple. From afar, everyone saw a vigorous holy fire burning in the ruins of the temple.

Everyone looked at each other: "What's going on? Isn't the temple abandoned? Why is the holy fire lit? What to do? Detour?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a little boy drilled out of the grass by the road. Seeing Ang and his party from afar, his eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "Station station, God, great, finally a station has come, I want to buy candy and snacks, my mother wants to buy needles and thread, you wait for me, I'll go back to get money."

After the little boy shouted, he ran towards the temple.

Negris and others were all stunned. This scene seems a bit wrong. What happened? ===== CHAPTER 553 =====
