Half an hour later, old man Walford staggered out of the crowd and left the fertilizer warehouse of the Moon Shadow Chamber of Commerce.
Following behind him was a small cart carrying twenty bags of fertilizer that was being pushed by a strong leopard beastman. They stopped in front of a small pavilion outside Xinfei City.
"Hey, Walford, this is … …" A middle aged man waiting outside the pavilion waved his hand to greet him, but when he saw the small cart behind him, he was stunned.
"… … This is the fertilizer you bought?"
"Un, it's fertilizer. I saw many people buying this thing and felt that it should be quite easy to use.
Willis, you're more familiar with the Principality of Constantine, so tell me, is this fertilizer really that easy to use? "
The middle aged man called Willis was around seven-eight years younger than old man Walford. Hearing his question, his ruddy face revealed a doubtful look as he shook his head.
"It's easy to use, but it's useless for you to buy this much.
Could it be that the people of the Moon Shadow Chamber of Commerce didn't tell you that these twenty bags of fertilizer can only be used on two or three mu of land? "
"That beautiful elven miss told me, but I just wanted to test it first. If it's easy to use, I'll buy more next time."
"There's no need to test it, I'm certain that this thing has to be easy to use."
Willis waved his hand, "The surrounding countries are all using this thing, didn't you see many people buying from the Moon Shadow Chamber of Commerce?
But there's a problem with just using the fertilizer. "
Old man Walford was stunned, "There's a problem?
What problem? "
"The fertilizer can increase the yield of wheat, but if it's not used with New Flyer's agricultural magic machines, the effects can't be fully displayed.
Look, our Yr City can only harvest a hundred pounds of wheat per mu of land. Even if we use the fertilizer, I estimate that it can only reach two hundred pounds.
But do you know how much wheat can be harvested per mu of land in the Principality of Constantine? "
"How much?"
Willis reached out his hand.
"Five hundred pounds?" Old man Walford's eyes opened wide in shock.
"How is that possible!
How can one mu of land harvest that much?
Do you think that I've never farmed before? "
"Of course I know that you've farmed before, but you've never farmed with agricultural magic machines."
Willis had a look of disdain, "Let me tell you, if you've seen this thing farming, you won't want to work yourself to death."
"It's that powerful?"
Old man Walford doubtfully looked at Willis. After thinking about it, he said, he said, "Then, should I buy some ….. agricultural magic ….. agricultural magic machines?"
"Stop dreaming."
Willis gave a sigh before shaking his head, "I already had this idea, but it's a pity that when I went to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to buy agricultural magic machines, the people of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce told me that our Candra Empire hadn't approved their agricultural magic machines as imported goods, so I couldn't bring them back even if I bought them."
........... of Walford's.
...... of Walford of....... of Walford.......
Willis gave a shrug, "How do I know what those old nobles are thinking?"
Old man Walford scratched his head and turned to look at the twenty bags of fertilizer. After hesitating a bit, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I've already bought it, so I'll take it back to see how effective it is."
After saying this, he took out a gold coin for the leopard beastman and had him take the twenty bags of fertilizer off the cart.
Seeing the leopard beastman take the cart to the Moon Beauty Chamber of Commerce's warehouse in the distance, old man Walford couldn't help saying in an emotional voice, "This Principality of Constantine really is strange. Not only do elves open companies here, even beastmen come here to work.
If it wasn't for the fact that everyone else was already used to it, I wouldn't dare use it. "
"Hei, you're too inexperienced.
If you stay here a bit longer, you'll see even more strange things. "Willis patted old man Walford's shoulder.
"Alright, just wait here for a bit. The two transport Magic Cars I rented will be here soon. Put your fertilizer in my car and we'll take it back."
"Un."
Old man Walford nodded before suddenly asking, "Right, Willis, you said that the New Flyer's agricultural magic machines weren't approved by the empire, so why are those Magic Fans, Magic Air Conditioners ….. Oh, right, there's also the Magic Sedans, aren't there quite a few in the empire right now?
I can see that these things are also made by the New Flyer, so why did the empire allow them to be imported? "
"If you're talking about the Magic Fans and Magic Air Conditioners, it's because the first one to bring them to the empire was Hakanin.
Do you know Hakanin? "
"The emperor's little brother in law?" Old man Walford curled his lips with a look of disdain.
"Hei, don't look down on him. If it wasn't for him, do you believe that you wouldn't even be able to see the Magic Fans, Magic Air Conditioners, and Magic Refrigerators?
As for the Magic Sedans ….. I've heard people say that the boss behind the Belle Chamber of Commerce that sells Magic Sedans in the empire is related to his highness Frank ….. "
"Pui!" Old Man Walford spat on the ground.
"In the end, it's all related to the important people above.
But speaking of this, why aren't the people related to the important people interested in these agricultural magic machines?
Since these things are as easy to use as you say, they should be able to sell quite well in the empire, right? "
Willis spread his hands, "It's still the same thing, I don't know what those important people are thinking."
Old man Walford helplessly shook his head. Looking at the twenty bags of fertilizer on the ground, he gave a sigh and didn't continue this topic.
After around twenty minutes, the two large transport Magic Cars that Willis had hired came over, carrying the twenty generations of fertilizer that old man Walford had bought. Then the two of them got in the car and set off, heading east.
Two days later, the two large transport Magic Cars arrived at the end of a road to the east of the Kingdom of Ruhr with the two people and the two carts of goods.
This place was around a hundred kilometers away from the border between the Kingdom of Ruhr and the Kandla Empire. Compared to this, it was closer than entering the Kandla Empire through the Norton Road, but because there was no road, it was harder to travel.
This was old man Walford's first time taking this road with Willis, so it was a bit strange.
"There's nothing strange about it. If we go through the Norton Duchy, not only the goods I brought, even the fertilizer you bought can't be brought into the empire. Even my two transport Magic Cars can't be brought into the empire." Willis explained.
"Oh?
Why? "
"Didn't I tell you before?
The nobles of the empire won't allow it. "After Willis said this, he looked around before gesturing to the driver beside him.
The driver nodded to show he understood. With a twist of his hand, he drove the large transport Magic Car into the wasteland in front of the road.
Seeing old man Walford jumping around with knitted brows from the bumps of the car, Willis laughed, "It'll be fine after a bit. After another ten kilometers, we'll reach a grassland near the border, it'll be much flatter there."
Old man Walford's face sunk, "Willis, if I'm not wrong, what you're doing now is called smuggling, right?"
Willis gave a cold snort, "Of course it's smuggling.
Those nobles only care about themselves and don't care about the benefits of us commoners, so why should we care about them?
So what if it's smuggling?
As long as we bring these good things back and sell them, no one will know that they were smuggled. "
Old man Walford shook his head. Although he didn't agree in his heart, he didn't say anything.
Actually, he had traveled extensively when he was young and had seen all kinds of things, so he didn't have that much prejudice against smuggling.
But this was his first time smuggling, so he felt it was a bit strange.
The two large transport Magic Cars were running across the wasteland at around forty kilometers an hour. It seemed like everything was going smoothly at first, but when they saw the greenery in front of them, which should be the grassland Willis mentioned, Willis suddenly looked back and his expression changed.
"Damn!
It's the Kingdom of Ruhr's border army!
Quickly go! "
Old man Walford turned to look and found that on the horizon behind them, there were five strange looking Magic Cars that were quickly charging over.
"The Kingdom of Ruhr's border army?
They actually aren't riding horses? "Old man Walford had a confused look.
"Other than the old army of our empire, who still rides horses these days, really … …" Willis muttered before patting the driver's shoulder and shouting, "Go faster!
Those fellows are about to catch up! "
The driver stepped on the ground and the large transport Magic Car the three of them were sitting in sped up, becoming even more bumpy.
However, the speed of the large transport Magic Car was limited, so it was clear that it couldn't compare to the Magic Armoured Vehicles of the Kingdom of Ruhr's border army. The distance between the two sides was closing bit by bit.
"What if they catch up to us?"
Seeing that the Kingdom of Ruhr's border army was about to catch up, old man Walford couldn't help shouting in a worried voice.
"It's fine, it's fine as long as we reach the grassland.
With the border army of the empire guarding it, the Kingdom of Ruhr's border army won't dare chase us.
Quickly! "
Willis desperately roared out. The large transport Magic Car they were sitting in also used all its strength as it charged towards the grassland several hundred meters away.
"You even bribed the empire's border army?"
Old man Walford looked at the grassland in surprise and saw a small cavalry squad on the grassland.
Based on the flag, they should be the soldiers of the Kandla Empire.
Seeing this flag, old man Walford let out a sigh of relief.
Since Willis had bribed the empire's border army, everything was fine.
The Kingdom of Ruhr's border army wouldn't dare make a move against the Kandla Empire's army no matter what, that was seeking death.
But at this time, old man Walford suddenly heard a strange whistling sound from behind him.
Turning around in shock, he found a fireball flying at high speed from behind him.
"Hong!"
Although the fireball was a bit off and hit the ground beside the large transport Magic Car, it created a large shockwave that shook the entire car.
"Damn, they actually dared to make a move against us!
Quickly!
Quickly!
Quickly!
We're just a few hundred meters away! "
Willis loudly urged as the large transport Magic Car charged forward with all its might.
The Kandla Empire's border army on the grassland had clearly noticed the situation here. After hesitating a bit, they turned and ran over.
While running, they raised their flag high up. It was clear that they wanted to use the name of the Kandla Empire to scare off the Kingdom of Ruhr's border army.
At this time, there was a fireball that suddenly flew through the sky. It instantly flew over the heads of the two large transport Magic Cars and flew over a hundred meters before landing right in the middle of the Kandla Empire's border army squad.
"Hong!"
With a strong explosion, several figures covered in flames flew out from the Kandla Empire's border army squad.
Willis stopped shouting and looked at the pitiful scene of the Candra Empire's border guards with a look of disbelief with old man Walford.
These fellows from the Kingdom of Ruhr's border army, they actually ….. actually made a move!
