Magic Industry Empire - 885. Chapter 885

Half an hour later, the large freight magic locomotive slowly stopped outside the west gate of Lalu City.

Hafra jumped from the co-pilot seat and ran all the way to the surrounding Laru City defense soldiers who were in charge of guarding the city gates, and said hello to the leader of the team with a smile on his face.

“Hey, Captain Wayne, good afternoon. It’s really hard to be here to guard the city gate on such a hot day.”

While talking, he handed it over without a trace, and held it with the hand that Captain Wayne stretched out very naturally, and the three gold coins caught in his hand were easily transferred to Captain Wayne’s hand.

Captain Wayne gently rubbed the three gold coins in his hand, and a cordial smile immediately appeared on his serious face.

“Haha, this is the job that the lord of the city confessed, who dares to neglect.” Captain Venn said and waved to the two men behind him. “Go, check what’s on the car. Move faster, do you understand?”

The two men didn’t understand what he meant. They climbed onto the back of the large freight magic locomotive, checked it twice, and quickly jumped off.

“Report to Captain, nothing suspicious was found on it.”

“Well, that’s good.” Captain Wien nodded and turned to Hafra: “Since everything is normal, then go in after paying the city gate tax.”

Hafra repeatedly thanked him, then took out a small purse from his arms and handed it to Captain Wien.

Captain Wein took it without looking at it, and threw it directly to the clerk of the City Lord’s Mansion who was responsible for collecting the city gate tax. He waved his hand to indicate that Hafra and the others could go in.

Khafre thanked him, and he was about to turn around and return to the large freight magic locomotive, but when he turned his head, he suddenly found that there were a lot of flowers hanging on the city gate, and the vicinity of the city gate was obviously cleaner than when he came the previous few times. Much more, obviously after cleaning up.

Even the beggars and homeless people living near the city gate that I could see every time I came here several times before, I haven’t seen any of them now.

This situation suddenly made Hafra a little strange. After thinking about it, he whispered to Captain Wien, “Captain Wien, look at this, is there any big man coming?”

Captain Wien looked around and replied in a low voice: “Someone is coming to inspect the Provincial Governor’s Mansion these two days, so I have to deal with it. But this has nothing to do with a small businessman like you. Just remember to be honest and don’t make trouble. NS.”

“Of course, of course.” Hafra repeatedly nodded, pondered a little, wiped his hand, and two more gold coins appeared in his hand and handed it to Captain Wien. “Captain Wien, if anything happens these days, please take care of it.”

Captain Wayne glanced at the flash of gold coins in his hand, frowned slightly, and shook his head slightly: “I can’t reach this aspect, and I can’t help you.”

“No, no, you are misunderstood. I just hope that if there is any news, you can let me know in advance. This is a trivial matter, so I should invite my brothers to have a cup of tea.” Hafra insisted on handing it over.

Captain Wayne hesitated for a while, and accepted the gold coin honestly and unceremoniously.

“Okay, go in, I’ll watch something a bit.”

Hafra smiled and thanked him repeatedly, and returned to the large freight magic locomotive.

“Huh, I just said that the Candela Empire is inferior to our Lampari Kingdom. You see, there is now a ready-made example. All cities in our Lampari Kingdom have already cancelled the gate tax, and the Candela Empire is still collecting it.” As soon as the large freight magic locomotive passed the city gate, Nasus, who was in charge of driving, complained.

“There’s nothing to complain about, you have to follow the rules wherever you go.” Hafra shook his head, although Nasus’s complaint was rejected, there was indeed some dissatisfaction in his heart.

The Lampari Kingdom has completely cancelled the system of collecting city gate taxes in all cities in the kingdom since three years ago, but the Candela Empire, one of the two empires, still continues to collect it.

In addition, although the gate tax of the Candela Empire varies from place to place, it is not low.

He pulled a truck like this, and every time he entered a city, he had to pay a minimum gate tax of hardware coins.

In order to avoid paying too much city gate tax along the way, he and Nasus never entered any city except for the necessary supplies.

However, even so, he still paid more than twenty gold coins in the city gate tax along the way.

In addition, the tariff of 30 gold coins was paid to enter the Candela Empire. Before the goods of his car were sold, he had already paid more than 50 gold coins.

If he couldn’t sell the goods in this truck, he would lose miserably this trip.

However, the previous experience made him not worry about it. At least the people in Lalu welcomed the goods he shipped this time, and there was no worries about the sale.

“Turn left ahead,” Hafra reminded.

The large freight magic locomotive made a difficult turn on the not-wide lanes in Lalu, and entered a street that seemed to be full of shops on both sides and looked very prosperous.

“Okay, just stop here, you can’t get in ahead.” Hafra confessed again.

Nasus stopped the large freight magic locomotive, and Hafra jumped out of the car and walked into a shop on the left side of this commercial street in Lalu.

After a while, Hafra led a few strong men and a middle-aged man out of the shop.

Without saying a word, the sturdy men climbed directly onto the rear compartment of the magic locomotive and began to move the goods on it downwards. They appeared to be very skilled in their movements. Obviously it was not the first time to do such a thing.

Nasus in the car saw the middle-aged man next to Hafra and immediately jumped out of the car, rushed to him, and shouted: “Uncle!”

This middle-aged man is Hafra’s pro-elder brother, Prado, Nasus’ pro-elder brother.

More than 20 years ago, due to the great famine in the Lampari Kingdom, Prado, who was almost 20 years old at the time, left the Lampari Kingdom all the way to beg for food and left the Kingdom of Lampari, and finally happened to be in the city of Laru in the Candela Empire. I have settled down, and after more than ten years of hard work, I have opened a small shop here, and my life is pretty good.

As early as six years ago, Prado, who had stabilized his life, regained contact with his family members who were still in the Kingdom of Lampari through letters, and he had also returned to the Kingdom of Lampari to meet with his family.

After that, the correspondence between the two parties was fairly frequent, but because the distance was too far, they rarely met.

Until the new agreement signed between the Lampari Kingdom and the Candela Empire, the Candela Empire opened the domestic market to the Lampari Kingdom. Hafra had an idea and thought of transporting the products of the Lampari Kingdom to the Candela Empire for sale. It was a real connection again.

“Well, good boy. When I went back last time, you weren’t my chest. I didn’t expect you to be taller than me in just a few years. And you are so strong, not bad…” Looking at Nether Prado nodded approvingly, looking like Si’s spirit.

“Hey, uncle, it’s been six years, I’m almost over eighteen now, of course I’m tall.” Nasus touched his head, a little embarrassed. “Besides, I eat meat every day, and of course I grow fast.”

“Eating meat every day?” Prado was a little surprised. “Do you have meat every day?”

“Yes.” Nasus glanced at his lips. “I haven’t eaten any meat for two consecutive days along the way, and my mouth is almost fading.”

Prado glanced at Nasus with a weird expression, then turned to look at Hafra.

“Now the family life has really become so good?”

Hafra smiled and nodded: “Well, now our life in Lampari Kingdom is completely different from before. Brother, if you have time, you should go back and take a look. I promise to surprise you.”

“Yes, uncle, the kingdom of Lampari is completely different now from six years ago. In comparison, I think Candela Empire is not in many places…”

“Cough…” Hafra suddenly coughed heavily, interrupting Nasus. “Big brother, what I just said was serious. If you have time, you can go back and have a look. Your parents are old now and don’t know how many years they will live. You must be very happy to go back and see them more. With this magic locomotive, it doesn’t take much time to go back. It’s very convenient.”

“That is, it took us two days to come from the Kingdom of Lampari this time. It took nearly a month to be as exaggerated as when you went back last time.” Nasus interrupted again.

“This…” Prado blinked with a dazed expression, as if he couldn’t accept what Hafra and Nasus said for a while.

But after thinking for a while, he was finally awakened by the affection in his heart and nodded.

“Okay, in that case, after selling this batch of goods this time, I will go back with you to see your parents. Anyway, Hafra, you always said that there are many business opportunities in the Kingdom of Lampari. I will go back and have a look. , If you can see any opportunities by the way, that would be even better.”

Seeing Prado agreed, Hafra and Nasus immediately showed excited smiles.

Prado has been away from home for more than 20 years, and only went back six years ago. The old parents at home miss him very much.

If he can go back, the old people will be very happy.

“Haha, brother, then we will work harder to sell out this batch of goods and go home early!” Hafra said happily.

“It depends on what you shipped this time. If the goods are not good, it will not be easy to sell.” Prado shook his head and said.

Hafra smiled confidently: “Don’t worry, every time I ship some good things, I promise to sell them quickly, don’t believe me.”

After talking, Hafra pulled Prado to the back of the magic locomotive, took a package of goods from a worker in charge of the porter, and tore it open with both hands to reveal the goods inside.

Prado glanced over, and immediately took a breath.

“God is on! Hafra, where did you get so much money for such a good product?”

Hafra smiled: “Big brother, if I tell you that all these goods add up to cost me less than a thousand gold coins, do you believe it or not?”

Prado glanced at him in surprise, his expression full of disbelief.
