Chapter 553: Are you spies?!

Before Ang and others could figure out what was going on, the little boy who ran back had already brought a bunch of people and flew over, pointing at Ang and others: "Right there!"

A bunch of ordinary people, unarmed and happy, ran towards everyone. Obviously, they were not here to attack, especially since they were holding money in their hands.

"I want to buy candy! Candy! Just sweet is fine." The little boy who discovered them first ran the fastest, holding two copper coins in his hand, shouting excitedly.

Ang almost didn't recognize what it was. He had almost never seen such a small denomination currency. The gold coins that passed through his hands were already the smallest denomination, and they were basically in boxes, which made him a bit stunned.

It was Anthony next to him who reacted quickly, took the copper coins from the little boy, handed him two candies, and then, before being squeezed flat by the people rushing up from behind, picked him up.

"Rebirth of the Boating Era"

"Don't squeeze, take your time, line up, line up, if you squeeze again, we won't sell!" Anthony shouted loudly, hurriedly pulling the black horse over to block in front.

I don't know if the black horse had a deterrent effect, or if "won't sell" had a deterrent effect, the excited crowd quickly became orderly, squeezing into a ball in front of Anthony.

Anthony turned his head quickly and whispered: "They seem to have mistaken us for a mobile station. The situation is unclear. I don't know how the undead holy fire was lit. Let's disguise ourselves first and see the situation. Old Du, you quietly refine some needles, kitchen knives, iron pots, Negris, take some salt, sugar out."

Negris hurriedly said: "Flash Feiti, little zombie, you go to the front to take over and maintain order, Anthony, you come back to arrange, why do you want those things?"

Little zombie and Flash Feiti stood in front of the crowd, plus the black horse lying horizontally, unless there was another Lord of Mourning, otherwise it couldn't break through their blockade. Anthony also took the opportunity to retreat, looking at the sign on the rock giant's neck with a bitter smile.

"If they mistake us for a mobile station, then these things are essential for the station. Needles, many places can't make them, and they are light in weight. Ordinary merchants will bring a large bag. They don't take up space but the profit is very high."

"Salt and sugar go without saying. Many places can be used as money. These are essential for traveling merchants. I'm not very clear about the station, but it shouldn't be much different. It's a pity Bai Yin Coin is not here, he is more familiar with these. Everyone prepare, I'll ask what's going on." Anthony finished speaking quickly and ran to the front again.

"What does everyone want to buy, tell me first, I'll make a registration so I can prepare the goods for everyone." Anthony found a stone and stood on it so that everyone could see him, and then shouted loudly.

"Salt salt salt."

"Sugar, sugar, I want to make spirit fire cake, no sugar, you didn't come early, the Holy Fire Festival is about to pass."

"Right right right, why did you come so late? And only your family arrived, other merchants didn't come. Do you not know that the Holy Fire Festival has changed places?"

A bunch of people shouted noisily.

Anthony didn't change his face and said loudly: "Our chamber of commerce has gone bankrupt, everyone has been recalled, I am coming over at the risk of unemployment."

"...... bank...... bankrupt? Black Soil Chamber of Commerce has gone bankrupt?" Anthony's words frightened everyone for a while.

After a while of silence, everyone discussed it again, but no one dared to push forward again.

From their discussion, Anthony registered the materials they needed while sorting out the context. In a short while, he figured out what was going on.

Anthony, who returned with a bitter smile, said: "I know what's going on. It's the annual Undead Holy Fire Festival. It used to be held in a valley eighty kilometers away. This year, because of us, it moved back."

"Because of us? What does it have to do with us?" Negris asked puzzledly.

Anthony rolled his eyes: "What do you think? We caught the Bai Yin Priest, no one swept the floor, no one drove them away, so they moved back."

"Puff! That little bone that surrendered when it couldn't beat?" Negris spat out a mouthful of blood. It turned out it was really their pot.

Great Great Xiao Gu has a strange obsession—purification, wanting to sweep the floor in the temple area clean. Negris suspected that this was not Great Great Xiao Gu's obsession, but the Bai Yin Priest's obsession, because the bone priest of the main plane is also like this.

And this Great Great Xiao Gu is particularly slippery, running when it can't beat, surrendering when it can't run, very crisp and neat, so it was taken away.

Except for it, other skeletons and zombies in the temple ruins don't have this obsession. Others come to do activities, and no one cares if they make a mess.

Someone found that Great Great Xiao Gu was missing, and it spread from ten to ten, and finally several villages combined, and moved the Undead Holy Fire Festival back.

However, it was very unfortunate that this year's Undead Holy Fire Festival happened to encounter the bankruptcy of the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce. In the outside world, the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce is unknown, but behind the death line, the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce is the largest livelihood chamber of commerce.

The so-called livelihood chamber of commerce refers to the kind of chamber of commerce that operates daily necessities, with low profit but large scale and indispensable. Chamber of commerce for bulk commodities like grain and cloth is this type.

If Bai Yin Coin dismissed everyone, it would be fine. Those traveling merchants and station keepers would change jobs to become individual traveling merchants, and it is estimated that they would continue to do the work they did before.

However, Bai Yin Coin not only didn't dismiss people, but also gave them a raise and transferred them all away, because Bai Yin Coin was not for a chamber of commerce, but for the skilled personnel in the chamber of commerce, especially those who had nothing to do with the outside world and had no roots.

Bai Yin Coin can really be said to be starting from scratch. Although Ang gave him millions of magic crystals and soul crystals, he didn't give him a single person. The people around him were all recruited by himself.

The people recruited have two shortcomings: lack of professionalism and low loyalty, and they are not at the same level as his previous subordinates at all.

This leads to Bai Yin Coin having to train these people while guarding against them.

However, it is too difficult to find people who are both obedient and professional. Bai Yin Coin took a fancy to the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce, not because the other party wanted to plot against him, but because the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce originated behind the death line, had shallow roots outside, but the personnel had certain experience, making it easier to train and better to control.

These experienced traveling merchants without roots are Bai Yin Coin's real goals. So as soon as the acquisition was successful, he gave them a raise and summoned them over.

With sufficient personnel, the development speed of Bai Yin Coin's chamber of commerce can be faster.

But this harmed the people behind the death line.

"Black Soil, this kind of livelihood chamber of commerce is indispensable. Needles, salt, sugar, cloth, and iron all have to rely on them for transfer. Large cities have large merchant firms, and those villages are in trouble. Many villages rely on these traveling merchants to supplement daily necessities. If there are fewer traveling merchants, they have to go to large cities to buy these necessities themselves."

"However, this situation doesn't matter, because the market vacated by the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce will soon be filled by other chambers of commerce, and even some villagers who go out to purchase will buy more and sell them in the village themselves. If the profit is considerable, they will change jobs to become traveling merchants. What's bad is these people at the Holy Fire Festival."

"They don't know that the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce has gone bankrupt, and this year they temporarily changed the venue of the festival, resulting in not a single traveling merchant coming. Daily necessities like sugar and salt that could have been purchased at the festival venue cannot be bought at all."

"Many people actually came out for a big purchase for the festival, because at that time, traveling merchants from all over the world rushed over, forming a large market, and the price was much cheaper. Now it's good, many people can't even gather the materials for sacrifices, and it's too late to find other places to buy, because the Holy Fire Festival is about to pass."

After Anthony's explanation, everyone finally knew what was going on. Negris asked: "Then what's going on with this Undead Holy Fire?"

"Oh, it's just moved from the Holy Fire Festival, and it's guarded by the Undead Priest of the temple." Speaking of this, Anthony lowered his voice: "The priest group of the Undead Holy Fire should be the last elite of the Undead Temple. I heard there is an Undead Saint. Everyone be careful not to be exposed."

Negris was shocked and hurriedly exhorted.

Ang chanted the spell with a decent appearance. The rock giant walked to the side of the road and built itself up piece by piece, building a two-story stone house.

Ang walked in, took out various materials from the space, and carried them out with a decent appearance.

Anthony carried a bag of salt and a bag of sugar over, opened the bag mouth with a decent appearance, revealing the white salt and sugar inside, and greeted loudly: "Here, here, high-quality refined salt and frost sugar, those who want it line up, don't squeeze."

After a commotion, the people hurriedly lined up, but this so-called "line" was actually fan-shaped, all squeezed in front of Anthony.

Anthony smiled bitterly. He also knew that this was already the limit of these people, so he greeted them to start selling.

As long as there is no scrambling, whether it is fan-shaped or linear, it is a kind of order. The personnel quickly decreased. Those who want to buy other things hurriedly squeezed into a ball at Du Luo Ken's place.

Half an hour passed, several bags of salt and sugar went down, and Anthony also received money until his hands were soft.

Just then, a violent sound of horse hooves came, and three skeleton knights rode bone horses and galloped over. After driving the crowd away with the horse whips in their hands, the leading skeleton knight sternly questioned:

"Where did you get this salt and sugar?! This pale salt and sugar, shouldn't it be the goods of the Warlock Alliance?! Are you spies of the Warlock Alliance!?" ===== CHAPTER 554 =====
