Chapter 554: Sigh, you have to know the measure
Anthony knew it was trouble. The salt and sugar were too pure, not the style of traveling merchants.
The salt and sugar Ang took out were made by himself. The salt was dried in the Falling Dragon Lake, and the sugar was squeezed from sugar beets. There were very few impurities.
Ang put them into the Divine Domain to deactivate them first, then transferred them to the dimensional space, covered them with fertile soil, and they didn't get damp or clumped, so when they were taken out, they were snow-white and loose, very beautiful.
Salt and sugar of this quality were not something those traveling merchants could get. They could only get some inferior ones, mixed with sand, unfiltered, or even lumps of yellow sugar and black sugar, which contained a large amount of impurities.
Did Anthony not understand this? He understood, but it was too late, and he didn't expect someone to come to the door so quickly. It was just a festival celebration, why would anyone pay attention to the quality of sugar and salt?
"Stepping on the Stars"
However, although he knew it was trouble, Anthony was not panicked at all. He turned his eyes and thought of an excuse, turned around and smiled: "The lord is joking. The ladder of the Warlock Alliance flies in the sky every day, so what spies do they need to send?"
"However, these products are indeed from the Warlock Alliance. Our chamber of commerce has gone bankrupt, and a batch of high-end products are unsold. We don't want to make it cheap for those outsiders. Now we take them out for preferential rewards, give back to fellow villagers, and sell them at a low price. Do you adults want to buy some?"
The skeleton knight was stunned: "Is it really the goods of the Warlock Alliance?" Then he leaned over.
Their appearance made Anthony's heart sink.
This is the most troublesome situation. The other party is not sure that this is the product of the Warlock Alliance, but casually made up this reason, which is obviously to find trouble.
Sure enough, the other party took a look at the sugar and salt in the bag, and his eyes lit up immediately, shouting sternly: "Good, you are so bold, you dare to sell the products of the Warlock Alliance indiscriminately. Who knows if there are ingredients that confuse people? Come on, take all these things away."
The two skeleton knights behind rushed up and snatched the bags on the ground.
Feiti was a little angry and looked at Anthony. Anthony shook his head slightly. There was no need to do it. A little money is taken if it is taken, as long as it is not too much.
Anthony was very familiar with the set of eating, taking, and asking for things when he was in the church before, otherwise he wouldn't be able to mix in the church.
These skeletal knights had clearly also picked up some worldly habits, but that was normal; they were just skeletal knights, not skeletons, they were living people, and naturally, they had all sorts of needs of the living.
The economy behind the death line is not developed, and they live a hard life. It can be seen from the cuffs and collars that are worn white, and their economic conditions are very bad.
If it weren't for the armor and bone horses that didn't cost money, they probably wouldn't be able to afford this equipment.
Two bags of salt and sugar were taken back. The leading skeleton knight took a look, raised his head and looked at Anthony again, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and his eyes crossed Anthony and looked at the carriage and stone house behind.
Anthony sighed. Why bother? Eating, taking, and asking for things also requires a measure. Greed will only lead to nothing. However, it is clear that this skeleton knight is not satisfied with these two bags of things.
After seeing through the other party's psychology, Anthony took the initiative and shouted loudly: "Alright, alright, the lord has confiscated our products, there is nothing to sell, everyone disperse, disperse."
Anthony's shout woke up the crowd who were watching the show on the side. Nothing to sell?
The masses are always numb. Unless they receive corresponding education from childhood, they will hang up if it has nothing to do with them. Even if some people feel that this is not good, they will not come out to stop these skeleton knights.
Until Anthony shouted this: "What? Nothing to sell? My spirit fire cake hasn't been made yet, no no, you can't take the sugar away."
"Salt can't be taken away either. Our family is waiting for the Holy Fire Festival to make a big purchase. We want to buy enough salt for half a year. You can't take the salt away."
"Right right right, only one merchant came, if you take it, there will be no other family to buy."
This voice woke up the rest of the people. Right, only one merchant, if you take it, there will be no place to buy things.
This is not like having several choices at ordinary times. If the things are taken away, how can they spend the festival? Especially since these products are of good quality and not expensive, it is not a loss to buy them.
"No no, you can't collect it. If you collect it, we won't be able to spend the festival. Put it down, put it down." Everyone surrounded them.
Anthony's shout easily transformed the contradiction between him and the skeleton knight into the contradiction between the skeleton and the masses, making Negris dumbfounded: "This also works?"
Having caused public anger, the skeleton knight couldn't care about Anthony anymore, threw down the things and fled in a panic.
Negris hurriedly asked: "What now?"
Anthony smiled and said: "Go back, try to see if you can lure the big snake out. If you can lure it out, we will grab the Undead Holy Fire, how about it?"
"Not afraid of alarming people?" Negris asked.
"So we have to lure it out, take the other party down in one round." Speaking of this, Anthony turned to Ang and asked: "Lord, can you please ask Wuga to take action? His real illusion is most effective against the undead."
Ang nodded.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Ang summoned the stone house, and everyone pulled the carriage and slipped back along the way.
At this time, Anthony discovered that the little boy who discovered them first was still on their side, sitting on the carriage shaft eating candy, his face full of sugar water.
Seeing Anthony looking over, the little boy grinned at him, revealing a mouth missing two big front teeth.
Anthony rolled his eyes at him, came over and picked him up, and kicked his butt: "Go."
This kick was not heavy, the little boy was not afraid, stumbled two steps, turned his head and made a face, then ran back laughing.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Ang and his party walked back for a while. On the way, Ang pulled Wuga out and exhorted it: "Wuga, Wuga gaga—"
Wuga nodded constantly: "Wuga."
After preparing, not long after, a sound of horse hooves came from behind, and a powerful soul howl came over: "Spies of the Warlock Alliance! Stop, I am the Undead Saint Kent. As long as you surrender immediately, I can guarantee the safety of your lives and souls."
As soon as Anthony heard it, he knew what was going on. Deceiving superiors and subordinates, those skeleton knights ran back and definitely wouldn't say they wanted to grab the merchant's goods. They would only say they discovered the spies of the Warlock Alliance. This Undead Saint was fooled and chased up foolishly.
This is exactly what Anthony wanted. Based on the wrong information, the other party is afraid that they will not be too defensive against a merchant team and will easily bump into it.
Undead creatures are very troublesome. They have a large number of soul connections, and a thought can pass the news out. So if the ambush cannot be effective instantly, it will be very easy to expose.
They came here this time to steal skeletons. If an accident happens and Gust is defensive, it will be troublesome.
Others have hidden in the carriage, only Anthony is still outside. Hearing the howl, he immediately screamed with a decent appearance, left the carriage, untied the black horse, and galloped away.
That action was so exaggerated that even the black horse couldn't help but sneer: "Too fake."
Although it was fake, the black horse still cooperated and galloped away along the way.
The team of skeleton knights chasing up chased after Anthony, and the remaining few surrounded an undead and came to the carriage.
This undead first used soul scanning to scan the carriage, found no danger, and then let the skeleton knight open the carriage door. As soon as the door opened, everyone was dumbfounded.
The carriage was crowded, with dragons, people, little girls, scarecrows... scarecrows? Wuga?
The outermost part of the carriage was Wuga, and Ang's palm was firmly pressed on its shoulder behind him. Until the moment the carriage door opened, Ang opened his hand.
Losing the restraint, Wuga jumped out all at once.
A question flashed in the heart of the undead Kent: Why couldn't my soul scan find these people? Oh, Wuga has a real illusion? Miserable......
The thought flashed, and Kent's soul fell into chaos. ===== CHAPTER 555 =====
