37 Chapter 36: A Journey into the Unknown 9 (2/2)

”These lands why are they abandoned?” I asked

”Young miss these lands are crop lands before, but the bandits usually attack to gather food and sometimes kill people. It is very dangerous in this area and business could not foster” The magistrate sadly said

”How wide is this area?”

”It's about a hundred hectares”

”How much is the price?”

”Though it is abandoned the price is still the same as the standard selling price”

”I'd like to purchase it”

”Are you sure?”

”Yes, and don't worry about the bandits elder, I have good ways in dealing them” I smiled forming ways in my mind that will prevent the bandits from terrorizing the owner of the crops or stealing crops

”Okay, let's head to a nearby restaurant.” The magistrate offered

”Great idea” the Princess said

We headed to a restaurant that was built two miles away from the area. It was luxurious and for sure the owner isn't someone ordinary. He/ she must be powerful, since this mountain is raided often by the bandits and business is likely impossible to prosper. And the local tribes were already gone. Preserving something in the wild without being harmed should cost a lot of expenses.

The restaurant is another level in everything. The design is impressive, although it cannot compare to my shop in the capital, it is very modest and clean. The magistrate ordered food for all of us. I also told one of my subordinates to order food for the crew accompanying us.

But I discovered one thing in the food they serve.
