(Collector, collector, please keep it. My God, I’m so pitiful. Now I have so little collection that I want to cry. Please have my help. Thank you, everyone.)
The major trading companies didn’t know why the Versailles family had done this. It was too risky. They had already calculated that the Versailles family wouldn’t dare to take such a risk, so they raised the price of the grain. But now, the Versailles family had taken the risk.
But two days later, the people from the large trading companies understood why the Versailles family dared to take such a risk. They actually had grain, and hundreds of thousands of catties of grain came in at once. This amount of grain was not much compared to the entire Versailles Duchy, but it played a very good role in stabilizing the emotions of the civilians.
This time, the Versailles family transported corn from Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai had given the unprocessed corn to Laura and the others, they would have been able to bring back more grains. However, Zhao Hai did not. The corn that he gave to Laura and the others was all processed.
This was also Zhao Hai’s selfish intention. Corn was a crop that could not be found on this continent. If the corn that Zhao Hai gave to Laura and the others was not processed, they would try to plant it. By then, corn would not be exclusive to him, and it would be even less valuable.
However, Zhao Hai was not processing cornmeal; instead, he just peeled off the skin and navel of the cornmeal and processed them into Jade stubbles before letting Laura and the others take them back. If Laura and the others wanted to buy cornmeal, they could grind it themselves.
With the addition of the new grain, the price of food in the entire Duchy of Versailles became more stable. However, those major merchants would not just wait. It could be said that the addition of the new grain was the official prelude to the food war in the Duchy of Versailles.
Zhao Hai had been paying close attention to the situation in Kass city these days. He had already gone to ika plain and found out that the insects he had released had really caused the area to go out of production. The entire ika plain, close to a million acres of wheat fields, were not spared.
Zhao Hai had never thought that a tiny bug could cause so much damage. The damage was simply too shocking. In just half a month, it had devoured all the wheat in the ika plain. The bugs had not reached the time of death set by the realm, so they continued to destroy. This time, their target was the windbreak forest that the Versailles family had built with great difficulty.
The insects could even eat trees, but not as fast as they ate the wheat seedlings. However, they did damage to the trees.
Zhao Hai did not care about the insects anymore. He realized that it was impossible to summon the insects back. He could only kill them with pesticide, which was very effective against the insects. It was different from the game where he could not kill the insects that he had released. However, Zhao Hai was not in the mood to help the vansale family kill the insects. After all, they had already eaten all the wheat, so it did not matter whether he killed them or not.
With the issue at the ika Plains settled, Zhao Hai placed all his attention on Casa City. Now, he had to plant bamboo rice every day. He did not plan to process the bamboo rice himself. Instead, he planned to let Laura and the others transport it back and process it himself. After all, bamboo rice could be found everywhere on the continent. Zhao Hai did not have to worry about the problem of the seeds being leaked.
Calculating the time, it had been almost half a month since he went to the ika Plains to release the bugs. It was about time for Grimm to go to the Versailles family to end the engagement.
Just as he was thinking about this, green walked in and said to Zhao Hai,”Young master, the Army has left. Today’s bamboo rice has been transported away.”
Zhao Hai nodded. As early as a few days ago, Laura’s group had sold out all the corn in his shop. Now, Laura’s fleet would come here to collect bamboo rice every day.
However, Zhao Hai didn’t let them go up Rocky Mountain. Every day, he would drop off the food at the foot of the mountain, which was surrounded by the black mist. Then, he would shrink the range of the black mist to the top of the mountain. After that, he would let the people who came to transport the food load the bags into the trucks and take them away. All the bags for the food were provided by Laura and the others.
Now, there were carts of food coming from Casar city almost every day. Every day, a large amount of food was transported from Rocky Mountain to all the towns in the Duchy of Versailles.
Right now, Rocky Mountain had almost become a small town. There were temporary houses built by the Versailles family, allowing the slaves to eat and live there. The slaves ‘job was to carry food. They had to carry hundreds of thousands of catties of food every day, and it was not good if there were too few people.
These slaves were transferred from ika plain by Versailles family. Now all the wheat seedlings in ika plain had been eaten up by the worms. Additionally, the worms had to eat the woods. Even if they wanted to regrow crops, they didn’t dare to do so. Therefore, Versailles family simply transferred all the slaves here to load grains.
Zhao Hai didn’t care about them, but he had a strict rule. The west side of Rocky Mountain was not a place to store people. The Versailles family needed Zhao Hai, so they didn’t resist.
Zhao Hai’s actions were to give the Versailles family the wrong impression, making them think that Zhao Hai was using that passage to transport food to Rocky Mountain. If he didn’t use that passage, Zhao Hai had no way of explaining how such a large Rocky Mountain could provide them with an endless supply of food.
Although the Versailles family couldn’t see how the grain was transported into Rocky Mountain, they still had an explanation. After all, there were spatial storage devices on the continent.
Green looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” young master, the grain price in Casar city is pretty stable now. However, those big trading companies have not settled down yet. They seem to be thinking of ways to deal with it. I heard that they are going to make a move on us. &Quot;
Zhao Hai shook his head. &Quot; it’s fine. The Versailles family is more nervous than us right now. I believe that those people will be taken care of by the Versailles family before they can reach us. Oh right, Grandpa Green, you should go to Casa City tomorrow and break off the engagement. &Quot;
Green nodded. &Quot; okay, don’t worry, young master. I’ll go tomorrow. Young master, do you think we should build another teleportation point in Kass city? ”
Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; that’s a good idea. However, I don’t want to build the teleportation point in Kass city right now. I think we should go to Kass city in the next two days. That way, it can become a teleportation point. &Quot;
Clint nodded. &Quot; that’s good too. As long as we set up a teleportation point in Casa City, we can directly transport the food there. The people here can then withdraw. There are too many people in Rocky Mountain Right now. I’m afraid they’ll discover something. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” okay, let’s do it this way. Tomorrow, you will go and break off the engagement. Then, we will go to kassa city. I wonder if this engagement will be so easy to break off. &Quot;
&Quot; it should be easy to break off the engagement. Even though we’re providing them with food, the Versailles family still has a lot of problems. Furthermore, they wanted to break off the engagement. They shouldn’t have caused any more trouble. &Quot;
Zhao Hai sighed. &Quot; I hope everything goes well. I’m afraid that the Versailles family will make things difficult for you. Why don’t you ask Grandma Merlin to go with you? it’s not convenient for me to show up now, but if anything happens, I can look out for her. &Quot;
Grimm shook his head. &Quot; there’s no need. If Merlin goes, the Versailles family will become suspicious. If we keep Merlin, they’ll think that he’s protecting your safety. Moreover, if Merlin doesn’t show up, they’ll have some scruples and won’t dare to touch me. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” how about this? when you go tomorrow, I will let ye Wuying and the others follow you. I believe that with their current strength, it will be easy for them to sneak into Casar city without anyone knowing. If the Versailles family really wants to deal with you, they can help. &Quot;
This time, Grimm did not refuse. He knew that the Versailles family was not a good family. If he were to break off the engagement, the Versailles family might make things difficult for him. Even if they did not dare to kill him out of fear of Merlin, it would not be a problem to hurt him.
For the Versailles family, this was a good opportunity. If Grimm were to break off the engagement, they could use this as an excuse to make things difficult for the Buda family. No one would stand up for the Buda family anyway. Moreover, the Buda family only had a level eight expert and no level nine expert to back them up. Even if they were to provoke the Buda family, they would not be afraid.
It could be said that in the eyes of the Versailles family, the Buda family was no different from the commoners. They could bully them as they pleased, and no one would stand up for the Buda family. However, this commoner was a little strong, and if you wanted to bully him, you had to have some strength.
The next morning, Grimm snuck out of Rocky Mountain. Although it was still lively outside Rocky Mountain, Grimm was not afraid. He was now a peak level eight powerhouse. It could be said that as long as a level nine powerhouse did not make a move, there were not many people on the continent who could be his opponent.
In order to prevent anything from happening to Grimm, Zhao Hai gave the evil spirit staff to Grimm for him to bring with him. This way, no matter what happened to Grimm, Zhao Hai would be the first to know and he would be able to recall Grimm back into the origin space.
Moreover, by giving the evil spirit staff to Grimm, it meant that the space had followed Grimm to Casar city. As long as Grimm broke off the engagement and changed his identity, he could set up a warehouse or something in Casar city. In the future, they could directly send food to Casar city, so that it would not be as lively as a market at the foot of Rocky Mountain.
After leaving Rocky Mountain, Grimm went on the official road from Montenegro fortress to Casar city. Then, he returned to the space and quickly changed his clothes. He took off his armor and warrior suit and changed into a Butler’s suit. His hair was combed neatly, and there was a gorgeous thin sword hanging on his waist.
Although this thin sword seemed to be the kind of ceremonial sword used by the nobles to decorate their faces and had no use, those who knew about Clint’s background knew that this sword was not that simple. It was considered a rare good weapon in the Buda family.
This sword was made of a very special metal and had been enhanced by magic. It had a strong enhancement effect on those who used wind-type battle energy. If you had a magic crystal, you could put the magic crystal into the hilt of the sword and use the wind blade technique of wind magic. It was a magic weapon and also the weapon that made Grimm famous. It was called the spirit wind sword, and Grimm’s nickname was the spirit wind Warrior.
