Chapter 442: Marquis Azshara’s Brand

Once Rica heard, she quickly swapped the personnel to her most trusted workers. She thought to herself that this secret must not be revealed to others and even personally brought them to Callor Hills.

After Little Mar’s private conversation with ThornyRose and learning of the underground river, he hesitated for a moment before immediately becoming cheerful. He looked at ThornyRose. Since that brat had her deliver such an important message, then he must trust this person quite a bit. He brought ThornyRose, some instructors, receptionists from the goddess association and Rica’s group with him. ThornyRose led everyone to the coordinates shown on Little Ye Tian’s virtual map. In a place with nearly no signs of human activity, they entered Callor Hills.

Little Mar saw the size of this underground river. Good man, it would even be possible to sail a battleship through here. The water is also not too fast. Climbing onto the Bandit vessel that Ye Cang had left behind, he saw the mark of the Solam Bandits. So it turns out there den is here. They were using the underground river. No wonder the investigation team was never able to find them, everything was underground!

Sailing down the river, they passed the middle stop, and without stopping, went directly to Alonzoia Hills. Climbing to the top of a hill, White Stone City was already in site. This location was simply amazing! It was definitely a strategic transport route! Why had no one ever discovered it? He suddenly recalled the earthquake a few years back. Many places had collapsed; it was probably then… otherwise, there was no way such a convenient location remained undiscovered. Travelling from Black Rock City to White Stone City, they managed to save about 70%! Of course, returning against the stream would take a bit longer, but it would be no problem with a magic crystal powered boat!

As for Little Ye Tian, she planned to use wind power to return. During the night, the tailwind would go from Black Rock to White Stone, but at certain times, the wind would change directions and flow from White Stone to Black Rock. Then, even a normal boat would be able to make the trip, it would just require some planning.

Little Mar arrived at White Stone City, and immediately found Ye Cang.

“About the other territories, have you dealt with it!?” Little Mar chopped through the iron and went straight through the door.

“I’ve already bought it.” Ye Cang said indifferently.

“That’s good. Don’t tell anyone for now, I’ll go consult with sir Marquis. If you want to keep them, then you need to be at least an earl, otherwise you’ll be hit with a heavy tariff. Obviously, even if it isn’t possible, the Marquis and I will do everything in our power to spare you from the tariff, just that if it comes to that, there will be too many people taking a share of the profits.” Little Mar slowly nodded, “Your appointment to earl should be in the next two days. I’ll speed up the process as much as I can, after all you’ve opened a prosperous trade route, removed the tumor to the north, and are even the president of a new association. However, before you are appointed, you can’t let any power other than myself know about it! Otherwise it will be trouble!”

“Father, Grand Knight Mar is right…” Little Ye Tian agreed.

“I know…” Ye Cang didn’t seem to care.

“Anyways, hurry back to Black Rock City with me…” Little Mar pulled Ye Cang along with him as he energetically rushed back to Alonzoia Hills while doing his best to avoid being spotted.

“I still haven’t gotten my reward for killing the three bandit leaders…” Ye Cang looked towards White Rock City and griefed.

“You can get it back in Black Rock City! It’s a bounty jointly offered by our two cities…” Little Mar glanced at Ye Cang, somewhat dumbfounded. In this situation, he still cared about that tiny reward.
