Half an hour later, the large transport Magic Car slowly stopped outside the west gate of Laru City.
Hafra jumped out of the front passenger seat and ran over to the Laru City guards in charge of guarding the city gate. He had a smile on his face as he greeted the leader of the small team.
"Hey, captain Wayne, good afternoon.
It really is hard to guard the city gate on such a hot day. "
While saying this, he reached his hand out and naturally shook captain Wayne's hand. The three gold coins in his hand were easily transferred to captain Wayne's hand.
Captain Wayne softly rubbed the three gold coins in his hand and a friendly smile appeared on his serious face.
"Ha, ha, this is the work the Lord City Lord gave us, who would dare neglect it." Captain Wayne waved his hand to the two subordinates behind him after saying this.
"Go, check what's in the car.
Hurry up, do you understand? "
How could the two subordinates not understand the meaning in his words. They climbed into the back of the large transport Magic Car and pretended to check it before quickly jumping out.
"Reporting to the captain, there isn't anything suspicious on the car."
"Un, that's good."
Captain Wayne nodded before turning to Hafra to say, "Since everything is normal, you can go in after paying the gate tax."
Hafra thanked him and took out a small purse from his chest, handing it over to captain Wayne.
Captain Wayne took it and didn't even look at it before throwing it to the clerk of the City Lord Manor who was in charge of collecting the gate tax. He waved his hand and signaled to Hafra that they could go in.
Hafra thanked him again. When he was about to return to the large transport Magic Car, he found that there were quite a few fresh flowers hanging on the city gate. The area around the city gate was much cleaner compared to the last few times he came, it was clear that it had been cleaned up.
Even the beggars and vagabonds around the city gate that he saw the last few times weren't there now.
This situation made Hafra a bit curious. After thinking about it, he asked captain Wayne in a low voice, "Captain Wayne, it seems like an important person is coming?"
Captain Wayne looked around before replying in a low voice, "There are people from the governor's manor coming to inspect in the next two days, so we have to deal with them.
But this isn't related to a small merchant like you, just remember to be obedient and not cause trouble. "
"Of course, of course."
Hafra nodded. After thinking for a bit, he waved his hand and two more gold coins appeared in his hand, which he handed over to captain Wayne.
"Captain Wayne, if anything happens in the next few days, I ask you to take care of me."
Captain Wayne looked at the gold coins in his hand and slightly knit his brows before shaking his head, "I can't do this, I can't help you."
"No, no, no, you're mistaken, I hope that you can tell me ahead of time if there is any news.
This is just a small gift, just treat it as treating your brothers to some tea. "Hafra still insisted on holding out his hand.
Captain Wayne took the gold Hafra gold coins, "Hafra, alright.
I'll, I'll take care of it. "
Hafra thanked him with a smile before returning to the large transport Magic Car.
"Humph, you were just saying that the Kandla Empire can't compare to our Lampari Kingdom. Look, now there's an example.
Our Lampari Kingdom has already abolished the city gate tax, but the Kandla Empire is still collecting it. "When the large transport Magic Car passed through the city gate, Nasus who was driving complained.
"There's nothing to complain about, you have to follow the rules wherever you go."
Hafra shook his head. Although he denied Nasus' complaints, he was still a bit dissatisfied in his heart.
The Lampari Kingdom had abolished the city gate tax since three years ago, but the Kandla Empire was one of the two empires that still collected it.
Moreover, although the city gate tax of the Kandla Empire was different, it wasn't low.
With a cart of goods like this, he had to pay a minimum of five gold coins each time he entered a city.
Along the way, in order to avoid paying the gate tax, he and Nasus didn't enter any city except for the necessary supplies.
But even like this, he had still paid over twenty gold coins in tax.
Adding in the thirty gold coins he had to pay to enter the Kandla Empire, before he even sold his goods, he had already paid over fifty gold coins in tax.
If he couldn't sell this cart of goods, he would suffer a great loss on this trip.
But he wasn't worried about this with his previous experiences. At least the people of Laru City welcomed his goods very much, so he didn't need to worry about selling them.
"Turn left up ahead." Hafra reminded.
The large transport Magic Car made a hard turn on a small road that wasn't wide in Laru City and entered a street that was filled with shops on both sides, looking very prosperous.
"Alright, let's stop here. We can't go forward anymore." Hafra gave another order.
Nasus stopped the large transport Magic Car and Hafra jumped out. He quickly walked into a shop on the left side of Laru City's business street.
After a while, Hafra led several large men and a middle aged man out of the shop.
Those large men didn't say a thing as they climbed into the back of the Magic Car and began moving the goods down. They were very familiar with this, it was clear that this wasn't their first time doing this.
Nasus in the car saw the middle aged man beside Hafra and immediately jumped out. He charged in front of him and shouted, "Uncle!"
This middle aged man was Hafra's big brother, who was Nasus' uncle Prado.
Twenty years ago, because of the great famine in the Lampari Kingdom, Prado who was close to twenty years old had left the Lampari Kingdom to beg for food in order to not be a burden to his family. Finally he had a chance to settle down in the Kandla Empire's Laru City and after ten years of hard work, he had opened a small shop here. His life wasn't bad.
Six years ago, Prado who had stabilized his life had contacted his family in the Lampari Kingdom through letters and had even returned to the Lampari Kingdom to meet his family.
After that, they kept in contact through letters, but because they were too far away, they rarely met.
Until the Lampari Kingdom and the Kandla Empire signed a new agreement and the Kandla Empire opened their markets to the Lampari Kingdom, Hafra had an idea. He wanted to ship the Lampari Kingdom's products to the Kandla Empire to sell, which was considered a real connection.
"Un, good kid.
Last time you came back, you didn't even reach my chest. I never thought that in just a few years, you would be taller than me.
Moreover, you're this strong, not bad, not bad … … "Seeing Nasus' spirited appearance, Prado gave a nod of praise.
"Hehe, Uncle, it's been six years. I'm almost eighteen now. Of course I'm tall." Nasus rubbed his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Nasus scratched his head a bit, "Then again, I eat meat every day, so of course I'm growing fast."
"Eat meat every day?" Prado was surprised.
Prado was a bit surprised, "You eat meat every day?"
"Yeah." Nasus pursed his lips.
Nasus curled his lips, "I haven't eaten any meat in the past two days, so my mouth is almost bland."
Prado looked at Nasus with a strange expression before turning to Hafra.
"Has your family's life really become this good?"
Hafra nodded with a smile, "Un, our Lampari Kingdom's life is completely different from before.
Big brother, you should go back and take a look when you have time, you'll definitely be shocked. "
"That's right, uncle, the current Lampari Kingdom is completely different from six years ago.
If you compare it, I feel that the Kandla Empire isn't … … "
"Ke ….." Hafra suddenly gave a strong cough, cutting off Nasus' words.
"Big brother, I was being serious just now.
You should go back and take a look when you have time. Mom and dad are old now and we don't know how long they can live, so they will definitely be happy if you go back and see them.
Then again, with this Magic Car, it won't take long to go back, so it's very convenient. "
"That's right, it only took us two days to come here from the Lampari Kingdom.
It's not like when you went back last time, it took an exaggerated month. "Nasus cut in again.
"This … …" Prado was a bit stunned, as if he couldn't accept what Hafra and Nasus said.
But after thinking about it, he was awakened by his family and gave a strong nod.
"Alright, since it's like this, after selling this batch of goods, I'll go back with you and see mom and dad.
Anyway, Hafra, you said that there were many business opportunities in the Lampari Kingdom, so I'll go back and take a look. If I can find some opportunities along the way, that would be even better. "
Seeing Prado agree, Hafra and Nasus immediately revealed excited smiles.
Prado had been away from home for twenty years and had only gone back once six years ago, so his parents missed him very much.
If he could go back, his parents would definitely be very happy.
"Ha, ha, big brother, then let's work harder and quickly sell this batch of goods so we can go home as soon as possible!" Hafra happily said.
"That depends on what you're transporting this time. If the goods aren't good, it won't be easy to sell them." Prado said while shaking his head.
Hafra said with a confident smile, "Relax, I always transport good things, so I guarantee that they'll sell quickly. Take a look if you don't believe me."
After saying this, Hafra pulled Prado to the back of the Magic Car and took a bag of goods from a worker. He tore it open with both hands and revealed the goods inside.
Prado glanced over and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Oh my God!
Hafra, where did you get so much money to buy all these good goods? "
Hafra laughed, "Big brother, if I told you that I spent less than a thousand gold coins on these goods, would you believe me?"
Prado looked at him in surprise, as his eyes were filled with disbelief.
