Chapter 135: Bandits 3

"So far, the black stones relics are dwindling," Pratt said as he asked his people to open the last crate of black relics. "These are the only things that we could get our hands on."

"Is that so?" Who Is it? Clearly, the Emperor did not make any moves yet as they were still able to get their hands on the black relic. Moreover, she believed she was able to stop the Emperor of the Aster Empire from discovering the effects of these relics. No. That's impossible.

No one would have found out about it.

"These stones are nothing, they are useless. Yet all of a sudden, the black relics would slowly vanish from the market. I sent someone to inquire the people in the ruins why the supply was no longer as it was before. But even the ones who just came from the ruins said that they had no idea why the black stones are slowly getting lesser and lesser in numbers."

"Are you saying that the black stones I mean the supply itself was the one in decline?"

"Yes."

Rosalind nodded. This did not happen in her past life.

"Very well. Be on the lookout for the stones. Give them to me as soon as you get them." After checking the supplies that she asked for, she gave the man a hefty amount of money.

"Miss Lin, may I know why you had a sudden interest in seeds?"

"Huh?" She blinked. She did not want to tell the man anything.

"I did not want to pry on your personal matters but the seeds that you instructed us to purchase are just a bit are you planning to start farming?"

"Cough cough." Rosalind could not stop coughing. "Of course not. What are you "

"Then why are you trying to purchase so many seeds?"

Rosalind blinked. She just wanted to . Earn money!

Naturally, she wanted to bless the lands in the north and plant the seeds then she is going to sell them. Obviously, this was something that she planned ahead of time.

What was she supposed to do in the north? Sit down and read a book?

She cannot do this.

She needed to earn money and earn a stable living. The only thing that she could do it start a business!

She was planning to plant all sorts of plants and create products that are not yet seen in this timeline.

"I just wanted to plant. Mr. Pratt, is there any problem? Are you having trouble collecting seeds?"

"Hm? No. It is not like that. I just found this peculiar. Not even the farmers would buy those many seeds."

"Eh?" She did not know this. She just bought the seeds of the plants that would be useful in her pursuit of money. Since the north had ten months of snow and only two months without it, she had to be very perceptive and needed to study which plant would survive. In the end, she decided to just ask the Duke for a greenhouse and plant all sorts of things that she could use or sell.

"However, if you really wanted to farm and learn more about plants then please do not hesitate to tell me. I have many books about farming even in extreme weather."

"Then thank you, Mr. Pratt. I would not hesitate to tell you." Rosalind faked a smile. In her past life, she had studied the snow in the north and their economy. She knew that the north rely on tea and wine mainly. This was because there is a certain type of tea and vegetable that would grow in the north. This vegetable will be used to create a very spicy wine that many people in the south love.

The plant is called Veggret. It has purple large leaves that looked like palms. It only grows in the snow and does not survive anywhere else.

Many thought that this was the only thing that the north will produce but a few years from now, someone started selling a rope that is made from another plant that only grows in the north.

The plant is called Tickle Felonwort. Just as the name suggested, the plant had small little spikes that felt ticklish against the skin. This plant is just considered a normal plant that is good against insects. So many normal households in the south have it. However, someone would soon plant it in the north and discover that the plant could survive in the snow. Aside from this, the coldness of the snow somehow made its roots stronger.

Someone then made it into a rope and discovered that it was very strong. It would be perfect for carriages and even boats and ships in the south!

Almost immediately the four quartermasters got ahold of the information and started selling it. The market for this business was very specific yet because of the product's quality it immediately became a household name.

Rosalind silently asked the one who discovered the rope for forgiveness as she was going to steal this business away from that man! Aside from this, Rosalind had so many plans, all of them involving making monies!

Obviously, her current situation with the Duke is not going to last, and she was just preparing herself to be a rich ex-wife!

So what if she does not have a husband? Being with someone that could potentially betray you is the worse thing that could happen to someone like her!

With this in mind, Rosalind started smiling.

She immediately bit Mr. Pratt goodbye and quickly gathered everything before going back to the carriage.

However, just as she arrived, her face immediately turned ugly.

She could feel a few people approaching them! She did not know how this started but she could almost smell their blood thirst.

She bit her lips. Is this going to be another assassination attempt?

"Someone" Rosalind softly said, hoping that her voice would stop the group of people from approaching. "Someone" she repeated.

"Young Madam?" a soldier from the outside answered her.

"I feel cold would you mind adding more wood to the heater?"

"No problem. Please give me a minute."

Rosalind sensed that the group had stopped approaching. It seems that they also decided to back down. She immediately sighed in relief.

However, she could not help but asked another question.

How? How could she sense something like that?
