Wolfheart Kingdom, Chenshen Bay.

Huai Te, pulling a cart full of people, drove into the bustling port area.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our destination is approaching! No matter how you lived before, a new life awaits you. I wish you all the best in advance, and offer one last convenient service!" He yelled enthusiastically as he pulled the reins to slow the horse.

Recently, his life had been going quite well—ever since the Graycastle fleet arrived, business in Chenshen Bay had suddenly flourished again, especially in short-distance transportation. Hauling people from the surrounding towns to the port could earn him a dozen Silver Wolves, a job he could do at least twice a day. If he wasn't afraid of damaging the carriage, he could even pull another batch at night, and his income had actually caught up with his days working for the church.

What's even better is that this reward is not collected from the people in the cart, but is issued by the people of Graycastle. As long as the paper is stamped with the seals of both places, he can get paid according to the number of people after passing the sentry post, and the payment is immediate, never delayed.

Because of this, transportation has become a popular industry for a while. Many sailors and handymen have joined in. Even if they can't drive a carriage, they can find someone to partner with. When running, there is no need to pick customers, and a full cart of people can be sent off when they arrive at the destination. The efficiency can be said to be extremely high. The only thing to consider is which town to transport people to—after all, the distance is linked to the cost.

Graycastle is doing this obviously to treat everyone equally. Whether you are rich or poor, as long as you are willing to leave Wolfheart, they will provide assistance. However, the King of Graycastle has a large family and a large business, and can withstand arbitrary spending, but Huai Te does not want to let go of this hard-won opportunity.

After all, it's foolish not to make money when you can.

Besides, he had already heard that something seemed to have really happened in the north. The number of refugees pouring into Wolfheart from the border was increasing sharply, and those rumors were not groundless. In addition, he also learned from the clever ghost that the lord of Chenshen Bay, Baron Jean. Bett, secretly dragged a large pile of things out of his mansion and transported them onto a ship. If even the baron wants to avoid risks, he naturally has to make preparations in advance.

Earning more now will give him more room to maneuver in the future.

"What kind of convenient service?" someone asked.

"Some useful experience and reminders." Huai Te pointed to the harbor dock where large ships gathered, "Look there, although everyone wants to go to Graycastle, the journey is not the same. Before they came here, I stayed in Chenshen Bay, and I have heard some things, which may be of some help to your future path."

"Then... please tell us..."

"Of course, provided that you spend a little money. Not much, one Silver Wolf is fine."

Huai Te knew that those who had nothing didn't care about their future. As long as they had food, it didn't make much difference whether they asked or not. Therefore, from the beginning, his target was the refugees with some savings—they were always particularly interested in this kind of unorthodox benefit. Plus, the fee was not high, and they didn't spend a single coin to ride the carriage here, so they wouldn't be too resistant to buying information.

Because he used to be that kind of person.

"Heh, rat tricks." A red-haired man dressed neatly sneered, "It's a pity that he's even less courageous than a rat. One Silver Wolf, give it to him."

Someone around him quickly handed over the money.

He even brought followers, so he must be a nobleman... Huai Te smiled ingratiatingly, but didn't take it seriously in his heart. He had fallen so far that he didn't even have a carriage, and had to squeeze into a carriage with commoners. No matter how noble he was, how good could he be?

"...This is my share." Another young man hesitated for a moment, then took out a Silver Wolf from his pocket.

Only two people are willing to pay? Huai Te stopped the carriage and waited for a while. Seeing that no one else was speaking, he planned to open the door and let the passengers off. In any case, having something is better than having nothing. It's not bad to have two more people on this trip.

At this time, the young man said to the others, "You go down first and don't get separated. Wait for me to find out the news and tell you. It's free."

"Kid, what are you talking about?" Huai Te's face stiffened.

"I paid for it." The young man said理直气壮, "It's one thing for you to tell me, and it's another thing whether I tell others or not. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"You—"

"You might want to go back on your word, but there's no benefit to you. Even if I turn around and let everyone in the port know, it won't affect the people you're going to transport later, and if you collect one less Silver Wolf, the loss will be real."

What a sharp-tongued guy! Huai Te opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know where to start refuting.

"Fool, it's your ziyou to do this. Did you have to say it?" The nobleman said unhappily, "You have to waste each other's time."

"This is not a wrong thing, why hide it?" The young man said bluntly, "I think it's the fairest way to let the coachman know too."

"Fairness?" The nobleman glanced at him like he was an idiot, then turned his head away disdainfully and looked at Huai Te, "Hey, I don't care about this guy, I've already paid my money, are you going to tell me or not?"

Huai Te glared at the young man fiercely, and had to admit that the other party was right. "Okay, okay, I'll treat it as a generous contribution, really... You guys don't get out of the car either, it doesn't matter if you listen here before you leave."

Then he roughly told the news he had found out, such as which people Graycastle preferred, the arrangements for evacuating by boat, the things to pay attention to when queuing and registering identities, and the secondary review after arriving at the destination, and so on. In particular, comparing before and after—as long as you enter the dock, you will naturally notice the propaganda of the First Army's guide, he just summarized a few key points. But the latter was valuable news he got from chatting with the soldiers. According to the people of Graycastle, witches would participate in the review, and any lies would be exposed. Once the registered identity did not match the actual situation, they would be labeled as "dishonest", and it would be much more difficult to find a decent job.

In addition, noble status not only does not help to improve treatment, but it will also be annoying if you always talk about it, so it is best to mention it in one sentence. As long as you can write, or have a skill, you basically don't have to worry about your future life.

"Thank you for your reminder." When getting off the car, the young man walked at the back, "It can indeed save everyone a lot of detours."

"Hmph, you're welcome, anyway, you bought it with money." Huai Te lit his pipe unhappily and took a deep breath, "But those people, they should have thanked you properly—what happened? They all scattered as soon as they got out of the car. I said kid, don't always think of yourself as a great person, especially outside... otherwise, one day, you'll suffer a big loss."

He himself is like this.

And the only reward he got was a cold fake leg, nothing else.

"Perhaps, but this is the duty of a knight."

"Ha, you think I haven't seen a knight before? Or are you referring to those descriptions in the 'books'? Come on, I first heard it from the mouths of rats in the tavern."

"Just because everyone is like this doesn't mean it's right."

"Oh?" Seeing him so serious, Huai Te raised his eyebrows, "Are you a knight?"

"Uh... no, I haven't been knighted yet. My father is, but he is already..."

So that's how it is, another idealistic young man, and judging from his situation, that guy is even more down on his luck. He waved his hand, "I'm not interested in your family background, by the way... what's your name?"

The other party immediately raised his head, "Manfred. Karsten."

"Okay, Mr. Karsten," Huai Te exhaled a puff of smoke and climbed back on the horse, "Let me give you another piece of news, there are no more knights in Graycastle."
