Game of the World Tree - Chapter 277

277. Chapter 275 This is a group of fat sheep

“Are you sure? That caravan is those spoiled nobles in the south pretending to be?”

In a room in Ximu Town, Anders curled up on the bed and looked at the thin guard.

After hearing his words, the guard’s expression was somewhat helpless:

“Lord Anders, this is the seventeenth time you have asked me. If I am not wrong, they must be nobles pretending to be…”

“Think about it, do ordinary mercenaries and caravans have such figures and looks? And they also have temperament. Although they deliberately pretend not to be nobles, they don’t look like caravans or mercenaries. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are a group of rookies…”

“Besides, they are also planning to go to Maple Leaf City, so I want to ask you if we can go together…”

The guard said cautiously.

Anders did not answer immediately.

He narrowed his eyes and asked:

“Did they… say anything else? Besides what you told me before.”

“No.”

The guard shook his head:

“They… are really just a group of young men and women who are looking for adventure and excitement, Lord Anders, you should be able to see that.”

“By the way, and the goods they brought, didn’t I show them to you? They are not something that ordinary people can get…”

Anders nodded slightly.

This is true.

Those plain wheat and Iris potatoes have a little bit of magical aura, which means that they are fine varieties that have been carefully cultivated.

And only nobles can get such things.

Even some civilian knights and mages have no way to get them.

And… since they came here for excitement and adventure, and came to Ximu Town, it means that they didn’t encounter anything else that interested them along the way.

Thinking of this, Anders felt relieved.

He nodded calmly:

“Then let’s go together.”

Although as a retainer of the Border Earl of the Empire, he was not interested in these adventurous foreign nobles, but nobles were nobles after all, and making more friends was also very helpful in expanding their network.

Networks have always been the most powerful weapon and tool for a profession like butler.

…

Time passed quickly, and a night passed quickly.

It was noon on Blue Star.

So some players chose to log off and take a nap in reality, some chose to sleep in the game, and some simply logged off and did other things in reality.

After a night, the players, whose physical energy had become full again, also went online again.

The mighty caravan gathered at the entrance of Ximu Town, where the thin guard and Anders had been waiting.

The caravan’s pass was also brought over by the thin guard.

After saying goodbye to some villagers who came to see them off, the player’s caravan and the two humans set out on the road to Maple Leaf City.

After leaving Ximu Town, the journey became much easier.

Perhaps because of the frequent maintenance, the stone road connecting Ximu Town and Maple Leaf City is very flat and open, which makes the players who have been bumpy for many days feel much more comfortable.

Along the way, the players also had in-depth exchanges with the guards and Anders, and tested each other.

However, the players asked more about the customs and customs of Maple Leaf Territory, and inquired about some news of nobles, as well as information about auctions.

In fact, by this time, the players have long realized that their disguise as a caravan may have been discovered.

However, for some reason, they seem to be mistaken for a group of nobles who come to play adventures…

This can be seen from Anders’s indirect questions about the players’ origins every time, and the light politeness in the conversation.

Of course, the most important thing was that the guard accidentally let the cat out of the bag during lunch.

During lunch, the players naturally took out the dry food they brought with them.

As Chinese people who know how to enjoy life, even in the game, the food they bring is much more upscale than the indigenous civilians of the Sigus continent.

Especially Xiao Xian Miao.

This girl has long been pulling a group of life-oriented players to make delicious pastries in the other world.

After she gave him a fruit snack he brought with him, the guard couldn’t help but exclaimed:

“As expected of a noble from the south… You really know how to enjoy life. This is the most delicious food I have ever eaten in my life.”

Of course, he knew he had let the cat out of the bag after he said it.

And then, there was nothing else.

The players were confused at first, and then they quickly realized that the other party might have had some misunderstanding.

But it was also good.

They were mistaken for nobles, so they simply made the best of it and asked about the local customs and habits more unscrupulously, and they had completely stopped covering up the caravan.

Anyway, they couldn’t pretend!

And this made the guards and Anders feel very normal.

However, what made them regretful was that no matter how they asked, these “southern nobles” kept their origins secret…

Of course, Anders didn’t force them in the end.

After all, although he was just a butler, he was also a low-level noble.

Since the other party was so distant, why should he get close to them?

Another reason was that with further observation, Anders found that although these young nobles were strange, they lacked the cultivation and common sense that nobles should have…

Of course, young people are always frivolous.

However, this also indirectly shows that even if these young people are nobles, they are probably nouveau riche among the nobles, and their background is not deep.

Nobles are also divided into different levels.

The noble families with the deepest background in the world of Segos all have a history of thousands of years.

Some… even had demigods in history!

And some of the top ones even have the blood of true gods!

Especially in the Holy Mannia Empire, many nobles are like this.

Of course, with the passage of time, many such mythological families have declined or even died out…

And the Border Earl, although not such a noble, has a history of thousands of years.

The earliest generation of Border Earl was founded by a legendary strongman who made contributions in the Millennium God War. It is a real legendary family!

In recent years, although the new Border Earl has not broken through to the legendary level, as he has become a new candidate for the Empire through marriage, the entire Maple Leaf Family has also become more and more influential in the Empire…

It can be said that in the circle of the Empire, the Maple Leaf Territory nobles are also considered upper class.

And this made Anders, who has always been proud of being a Border Earl’s retainer, stand up.

I’m afraid these young nobles from the south don’t have such a background.

Not only that, they are not even nobles of the Empire!

The history of the Kingdom of Iris is not as long as that of the Holy Mannia Empire. The founders of the country are just some remnants of the magic kingdom, so the nobles in the south are also looked down upon by the nobles of the Northern Empire.

Although the nobles in the Kingdom of Iris are generally wealthy, in the eyes of the northern nobles, they are just some upstarts who play with magic and business.

After the change of mentality, Anders’s eyes changed again when he looked at the other party.

These young men who were carrying all kinds of goods and were obviously very rich were no longer the objects of friendship at this moment, but a group of fat sheep…

He had already begun to think about how to take advantage of this group of fat sheep who knew nothing.

Once they entered Maple Leaf City,

that would be his territory!
