The peace sign was a common gesture among the players, but Andonara didn't know that.
But Andonara didn't know that. She was so shocked to see the gesture that the player made. She almost slashed at him with her longsword, but thankfully, the player didn't show any hostility or killing intent. So, she held back.
Roland looked rather helpless. He wasn't a big star. Why did he come here just to take pictures?
But what he didn't expect was that when the caravan members behind him came over, a group of people surrounded the two of them and formed a circle. They all made a peace sign and shouted at the same time, "Don't worry about me.
"Cheese!"
After that, the group of people roared with laughter and dispersed in satisfaction to do their own things.
The caravan's carriages were pulled to the grass on the side of the road and formed a circle. The players built sheds and dug stoves.
Not long after, a fire was lit and a big iron pot was placed on the stove.
The first player who came to take a picture with Roland was pointing in the air, as if he were uploading the picture to the forum.
Seeing the weird style of these people, the six magic apprentices subconsciously approached Roland, and Andonara asked Roland, "Your compatriots seem a bit weird."
"Actually, it's normal," said Roland helplessly. "It's just that their habits and behaviors are a little different from yours."
A little different?
Andonara looked at what was happening in front of her, somewhat speechless.
After the sheds were set up, the players quickly formed a circle, and then some of them took out musical instruments from their Backpacks, such as flutes, simple drums, Luther harps, erhu, and so on.
Another player took out a pair of sand hammers.
The other players quickly set up furs on the ground, and then they piled fruits and jerky on it.
Then, after the players adjusted the strings, they began to play, and some of the players who sat around the furs began to shout at the top of their lungs.
"As long as the heart is there, the dream is there …"
Their voices were somewhat unpleasant, but they had a heroic vibe.
The players who were eating fruits clapped and cheered from time to time.
The whole camp suddenly became very lively.
Generally speaking, merchants were extremely low-key. When they rested and ate by the roadside, they were very careful, for fear that they would attract professional robbers.
They were also afraid that if they caused too much of a commotion, the other travelers would get annoyed and turn into bandits and attack them.
Most of the time, in the wilderness, there was no clear boundary between merchants and bandits.
But what were these Golden Son merchants doing?
Sing!
His voice was extremely loud.
It didn't look like a caravan at all. Instead, it looked more like a group of arrogant nobles on a trip.
The first player who took a photo with Roland seemed to have finished uploading the photo. He rubbed his hands and walked to Roland, saying, "Mr. Roland, I didn't expect to run into you here. I'm so lucky to be able to see the legendary beautiful queen. "
Roland was amused. "Although there's no evidence, I suspect that you're mocking me."
"How can you accuse me?" The player's eyes widened. "I'm sincerely calling you Grandpa …"
Roland rubbed his eyebrows. "You're sincere, aren't you, brother?"
"Don't be mad. It's just a joke," the player continued. "I'm Ashrosfin, the deputy chairman of the Cornucopia Merchants!"
Roland frowned. "What kind of powder do you like?"
"Screw powder!"
Roland immediately smiled. "I'm told that people who like screw powder more or less suffer from odor."
"Yes, and I especially like stinky tofu!" Ashrosfin said with a smile, "You're the third person who figured out what the name means."
"Because I don't like screw powder." Roland sighed. "I can't get used to the taste, and I don't want to eat it again. I'm already traumatized."
"Then you've missed the delicacy." Ashrosfin shook his head regretfully. Then he looked at Andonara. "Greetings, Your Highness."
Andonara snorted but didn't say anything. Just now, Ashrosfin called her a beautiful queen. It was a compliment, but his tone was rather frivolous. She didn't like it, and she was even more displeased that he called her that in front of Roland.
She feared that Roland might misunderstand.
As a merchant, Ashrosfin was good at reading people's faces. He immediately said with a smile, "Your Highness, you and Roland look like a perfect match when you stand next to each other. Your children will definitely be beautiful and smart. "
Hearing that, Andonara was immediately more fond of Ashrosfin, as the man was so eloquent and reasonable.
Yes, she had already thought about it. If she had a child with Roland, no matter if it was a boy or a girl, they would all be beautiful and smart.
Then, she found Ashrosfin much more pleasing to the eye. "I'm glad to meet you too."
Ashrosfin nodded at Andonara as a greeting. Then, he said to Roland, "I've read rumors and videos about you on the forum every day. I've admired you for a long time. Now, I've finally met you in person."
"What's there to admire? I was just lucky enough to get some rare resources."
"You can't say that." Ashrosfin sighed in admiration. "Why are you the only one who gets rare resources, and why can't other people? It's because you're capable. I'm so envious of you. "
At this time, the players not far away had finished singing and were shouting loudly. A bunch of people were asking for songs from the players who were playing the music.
Roland glanced at them, turned his eyes back, and asked, "I remember that you merchants all commit suicide when you run business. You carry the goods in your Backpack, kill yourself when you reach a certain place, and then use a system bug to teleport directly to the distant Church of Life to resurrect. Why are you using carts and caravans now? "
"That's version 1.0 of running a business. You'll lose a lot of EXP when you die. It's fine at the beginning, but it'll be a great loss later on. EXP is essentially wealth too. "Ashrosfin smiled." Everybody has to make progress. We're version 2.0 of running a business. They have high-value goods in their system Backpacks, and there are a lot of high-demand goods on the wagons. Also, thirty professionals are gathered together. Although they aren't very strong individually, they won't be able to cause any damage to us unless a hundred or two hundred elite soldiers come to attack. "
At this moment, the player who was busy working before the pot tapped the pot with his spoon and shouted, "It's time for dinner!"
Upon hearing that, the players who were singing and listening to the music dropped their things and swarmed to the pot. Then, they each took out a big bowl from their system Backpacks and lined up to serve it to the players who were in charge of distributing the food.
At this moment, the smell of cooked noodles spread over.
Ashrosfin smiled at Roland. "Let's go eat together. Bring your friends too."
Roland was tempted by the smell of noodles. He looked at Andonara, Vivera, and the others.
But at this moment, Andonara, Vivera, and the others all shook their heads.
It was because the players who had been given a bowl of noodles were already squatting on the side of the road and wolfing down the food.
The noises of them slurping the noodles echoed nonstop.
Andonara and the magic apprentices were all nobles and weren't used to such a scene.
Roland, on the other hand, didn't have such concerns. He asked the players who were responsible for distributing the food to give him a bowl. After thanking them, he walked to the end of the line with the basin and squatted, slurping the noodles too.
The noodles were delicious, as well as the cured meat and vegetables of this world.
Most importantly, this was hot food. To be able to eat pure hot food in the wilderness was a type of happiness.
Very soon, Ashrosfin squatted with a bowl and asked, "How does it taste?"
"It's delicious."
Ashrosfin said with a smile, "We made the noodles and the cured meat. It's a pity that the consumption level in this world is too low. Few people would come to open a restaurant. We can make money, but it's not worth it. "
"It's a high-end business for the nobles."
"No, somebody tried it." Ashrosfin said while eating, "The nobles are indeed generous, but they're too bad-tempered. While they were eating, they began to make inappropriate demands. Asking someone to be their private kitchen was already considered good. What about asking someone to hand over the recipe and not give them a single cent? Or asking the restaurant to give them three or four different dishes a day, and not allowing them to repeat the same dishes the next day, and so on? In any case, we have a lot of requests. It's already hard enough for us in the real world. Are we supposed to suffer here and swallow our complaints? Of course not. I don't want to serve them. After all, it's not easy to run a restaurant. "
"Then aren't you afraid of being harassed as a traveling merchant?"
"We're shipping the goods that are in high demand. They're begging us. Hehe." Ashrosfin observed Roland for a while. "You're squatting pretty well. Are you from Guanzhong?"
"No." Roland shook his head. "But I studied in Helo's college for four years."
"Then you're half from Guanzhong." Looking at Andonara, who was nibbling the dried meat under a tree, Ashrosfin nudged Roland with his shoulder and said, "You'll definitely pass Bianca City in this direction with the queen. Aren't you worried?"
"Worried about what?" Roland was briefly stunned.
"Bianca City is the First Prince's fief. The brothers and sisters of Cornucopia are almost everywhere in Hollevin." Ashrosfin drank the soup from the bottom of his bowl and wiped his mouth. "So, we can collect a lot of useful and useless information."
"Oh?"
"Considering that you look like a Guanzhong person while squatting, I'll tell you a piece of information for free," Ashrosfin said. Ashrosfin said, "About a month ago, the first prince held a banquet. He was drunk and said that."
Ashrosfin paused.
Roland looked Ashrosfin in the eyes. "Please go ahead."
"The First Prince said, 'Queen Andonara is a whore. It's a pity that she's in Delpon, out of my reach. If she dares to show up in Bianca City, I'll definitely capture her in secret and show her what I'm capable of. I'll return her to my father after I'm tired of her. "
Roland's face darkened. "Is the First Prince's head full of sh * t?"
"No, on the contrary, he's very smart."
