Conquest

    Chapter III [Black Street] ()

    To say that Wildfire Town is the most lively and dynamic and the most chaotic place, count the "black street."

    Black Street is not an official name. In fact, whether it is the Byzantine Empire or Odin, the time it took to occupy Wildfire Town was very short. It was so short that it was too late to register all the streets and buildings in Wildfire Town. The more ignorant Odin people simply did not even count the population.

    Black Street is a customary name, located in the nearest street to the west of the town of Wildfire Town. This street was originally very wide, and it is the most spacious street in the town. It could have accommodated two horse carriages side by side. This kind of road, not to mention in this backcountry, is even in the civilized Byzantine Empire. It is also standard equipment in some big cities.

    However, what I just said is that "original" can accommodate two horse cars side by side – if there are not so many vendors occupying the road on this street.

    Here are all the weird things from the southeast and northwest of the mainland. Anything you can't imagine can be found here.

    Of course, if you want to buy something, no matter how rare or eccentric, as long as you come to this black street in Wildfire Town, hang a brand for purchase, for less than half a day, there will be several Wearing a dirty robe, the guy with a sneaky look ran to ask you how much he was willing to pay.

    These people are not swindler, not beggar. It is the contact of some Mercenary tribes.

    On the Primal Wildfire, there are many tribes, big and small, big and even thousands, and small ones. These tribes, some of which are Mercenary's work, but more, are thieves' gangs.

    These tribes make it difficult to tell if they are Mercenary or thieves – it depends on their mood.

    The Byzantine people have a saying that the distinction between the mercenary group and the thief group is:

    "If you hire Mercenary as a bodyguard, then you can pay afterwards. If their mood is suddenly bad, not only take your money, but also take you away by the way – this time, they are thieves. ”

    Of course, this old saying was strongly resisted by the King's trading Guild, because the transaction Guild repeatedly stated that only those registered mercenary groups are legal and formal. These formal mercenary groups are law-abiding. Those who are also servants are also illegal black gangs.

    But it is these black gangs on Primal Wildfire that have helped a lot. They dare to pick up any work, and they will do whatever they want!

    If you have enough money, they even dare to do a lot of life! For example, to arrest the Dwarf slaves, those formal mercenary groups are not doing, but these black gangs…hēi hēi, how much are you willing to pay?

    Although the natural environment is bad, it must be said that Primal Wildfire is a place of business opportunity! This is the buffer zone between the Byzantine and Odin empire, and the only trade route between the two empires. Odin's merchants, Byzantine's merchants, must go through the business of going to the other country.

    The Primal Wildfire, a vast area with a harsh geographical environment, is full of danger. Just north of the wildfire town is the blue basin on the Primal Wildfire – a site of the fierce and isolated Dwarf family. If you are a human caravan, it is best not to get close to it. Otherwise, maybe some days, your skull bones will be made into lacquer ware and hung on the shelves of a shop in Black Street.

    Only a handful of merchants who have established trust with the Dwarf family can get close to the Dwarf community and do some trading with them.

    If the Dwarf family is still fairly disciplined (as long as you don't, they won't bother you), then Goblin is the real headache. These guys, like the mouse, are breeding in the nest in the north of Primal Wildfire. These things are the real robbers – they grab everything, eat, wear, and use. Even, they eat everything.

    If you are unfortunate enough to be caught by them, congratulations.

    Your meat will be dried into dried meat, your bones will be ground into powder soup, and your hair will be made into a blanket by Goblin! All in all, Goblin has a very good quality that is extremely lacking in humans: saving simplicity!

    Trading through Primal Wildfire is very dangerous and very profitable!

    The excellent armor made by Byzantine Empire, horse, cattle, ore, art…

    The finest furs from the northern Odin empire, as well as a variety of crystals, as well as various sculptures (it is ironic! The Odin people have always been synonymous with rude ignorance, but it is this ignorant country, but it has the world's most brilliant carving process, which makes the sculpture artists of the Byzantine Empire always lift their heads. However, in order to express disdain, the Byzantine explanation is: those Odin people, all the time they live is divided into three parts: one-third of the time for fights, one-third of the time for mating, three-thirds One time is used to sculpt the gods and then pray. )

    However, in these businesses, only the big mercants who are extremely strong have the ability to do it.

    If those small caravans want to do this kind of business, then first you have to take out the head with your head on the waistband.

    Of course, in the face of huge profits, there are many people who are willing to kill. At least half of the guys who came to Wildfire Town came to the dream of making a fortune.

    Every once in a while, there are always one or two lucky ones who have passed through Primal Wildfire to the other country. The trade is successful and the night is rich. This has spurred more people to come to Primal Wildfire with a rich dream.

    There is a saying on Primal Wildfire: Go outside the town, hold a shovel, and shovel out the soil in the wild, buried under the bones of the adventurer.

    When Shaar Thunder walked into the Black Street, his waist was straight, mainly because he had filled his stomach – thanks to the fool swindler from the field.

    Black Street is no different from the past, except that the thieves who occupied Wildfire Town were driven away a few days ago, and now they are patrolling the soldiers of a mercenary group. For this kind of thing, people on Wildfire Town are used to it. And these new mercenary groups are very disciplined and do not raise tax rates.

    By the way, Wildfire Town's tax rate is very simple, there is only one kind of tax: the city tax! No matter who you are or what you are, you must follow the head of the person when you enter the city. Each person pays a tax on the copper plate.

    Other than that, there is no commercial tax and any other taxes.

    When Shaar Thunder entered the city today, he handed the last copper plate in his pocket to the warrior in the city gate.

    So if he can't find a job today to earn some money, then he really wants to join the gang…

    The crowds on the black street are crowded, and the sounds of bickering and shouting from time to time on the shops and stalls on both sides…People here are so popular, and those who dare to come to this place to take risks are mostly not good-hearted people – so, there is no good person in Wildfire Town. These temper guys, even bargaining, are like sluts.

    Occasionally, some drunks were thrown out of the roadside pub and thrown into the rubbish in the corner.

    There are also some suspicious guys who are sneaking around in the crowd. These people are doing gold finger (thief) work.

    Fortunately, no gold finger would pay attention to Shaar Thunder – he looks worse than a beggar.

    Shaar Thunder walked along the crowd and looked around to find a job that would make money. His idea is very simple. First, you must make a fortune. His plan is to first greet the work of the demon hunter.

    Hunting devils, and hunters, are two different professions. Although the work done is generally similar, the objects of hunting are different.

    Hunter, hit the rabbit fox, pheasant, coyotes, and so on, as long as you will shoot arrows, you will be able to cover the trap.

    But the demon hunter, there is only one thing to hunt: demon beast!

    When Old Man was alive, Shaar Thunder was forbidden to hunt for demon beast, but Shaar Thunder didn't want to be a hillbilly hunter in the mountains for a lifetime. The life of the demon hunter is full of adventure and excitement, and you can make money. This is what young people yearn for.

    Therefore, he once glared at Old Man and sneaked through such activities several times, and also successfully hunted some demon beast, but unfortunately, he has not saved any money, most of the income, turned into alcohol, fill in The belly of two alcoholic people at home.

    Finally, Shaar Thunder found a goal.

    At the end of Black Street, a sign hanging at the door of a shop with a small storefront.

    “Heavy gold to buy demon beast cubs…”
