Modu is not too big, but it is not too small either. After all, it is a country, so it is quite impressive.
Where Wei Zong is located, there is only the outer city, and there is also the inner city further inside, where the princes and ministers live, and the famous Moying Academy is also there.
As for the center, it is the Imperial City, where the royal children live.
As Wei Zong, he could only wander around the outer city. He could not enter either the inner city or the imperial city.
Therefore, Wei Zong soon took a tour of the outer city.
After all, it's just an outer city and not very big.
Generally speaking, Modu feels like an ordinary city to Wei Zong, and there is nothing amazing about it.
Therefore, after briefly experiencing the local customs, Wei Zong turned around and hurried back towards his home.
But this time, when he returned home, he unexpectedly noticed a few rogues squatting in front of his house.
As for why Wei Zong could tell at a glance that they were scoundrels, it was very simple. They were all dressed in shabby clothes, with half of their chests exposed. You could still see the messy tattoos on them, plus the arrogant
His expression shows that he is not a good person at first glance.
At this time, seeing Wei Zong coming back, the leading rogue immediately started shouting loudly.
"Hey, Wu Na boy, you are the new tenant, right?"
"it's me!"
Wei Zong nodded, but did not deny it.
"It's good if it's you!"
The rogue nodded, then stretched out his hand toward Wei Zong and hooked his fingers.
"What?"
Wei Zong was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Pi Pi impatiently saying: "What else can it be? Of course it's protection money! Come on, one high-grade spiritual stone a month! You pay this month's money first!"
"One high-grade spiritual stone a month? It's not much!"
Wei Zong thought about it, he spent ten spiritual stones to rent this house, and the protection fee was one yuan a month, which was really not much.
With an attitude of not wanting to cause trouble, Wei Zong readily agreed, took out a spiritual stone from his arms, and then handed it to Roppy's hands.
"That's it, that's it!"
Wei Zong's unexpected generosity surprised the rogue. Originally, in his plan, the other party would definitely cry out at this time, and then say that one spiritual stone was too much and he had to cut it down.
When the time comes, the two argue about it, and in the end, only more than ten middle-grade spiritual stones are enough.
Anything extra is pure profit.
But I didn't expect that this green-headed boy would be so generous, and the spirit stone would be handed over to him without any price being negotiated.
It seems like...
It seems like this is a big fat sheep!
A glint of ill-intention suddenly flashed through the rogue's eyes.
"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?"
Seeing that they were still refusing to leave, Wei Zong asked curiously.
"No...it's okay!"
The rogue laughed dryly, then called out to his brothers, and they left in front of Wei Zong's door laughing.
Looking at their backs as they left, Wei Zong felt for some reason that this matter would not end so easily.
This is his hunch...
Shaking his head, Wei Zong no longer thought about it and returned to his home.
He had nothing else to do, so he went back to catch up on his sleep.
In the evening, Wei Zong woke up on time, went out, and prepared to have dinner at a small stall next to him.
As soon as he sat down, he glanced over and found that the blacksmith and his daughter were also there.
Bai Xiao was frowning, looking a little sad.
Bai Youning was very happy, chattering and talking to the boss about what he wanted to eat.
"Hey, brother blacksmith, are you there too?"
When he saw him, Wei Zong naturally wanted to say hello.
"It's you……"
When Bai Xiao saw Wei Zong, he forced a smile on his face and said, "Brother Wei Zong!"
He remembered that this guy seemed to be called Wei Zong, a very strange name.
Generally speaking, no one would name themselves Zong.
"Brother Blacksmith, you are eating here too..."
Wei Zong laughed dryly and said some useless words.
Of course I came here to eat, otherwise what else could it be.
Bai Youning, who heard their conversation from the sidelines, secretly cursed.
"Don't call me brother blacksmith..." Bai Xiao smiled bitterly, and then said: "My name is Bai Xiao, and this is my daughter Bai Youning!"
As he spoke, Bai Xiao pointed at his daughter.
"It turns out to be Brother Bai!"
Wei Zonggong bowed his hand.
The two chatted for a while and became somewhat familiar.
then……
"Brother Wei Zong, if you don't mind, let's eat together!"
Bai Xiao actually extended an invitation to Wei Zong.
Wei Zong was naturally open to everyone who came. He was new here and didn't understand many things, so he just wanted to ask Bai Xiao.
So, Wei Zong took advantage of the situation and sat over.
Seeing this scene, Bai Youning pouted, she was a little unhappy.
After all, she and her father were originally eating together, but now there was suddenly an outsider, especially... This outsider was a little awkward with her.
Of course, she was the only one who was embarrassed. Wei Zong had long forgotten about what happened before and didn't take it to heart at all.
"By the way, brother Wei Zong, how do you feel about living in Modu?"
Bai Xiao asked casually.
"It's not bad, but..." Wei Zong frowned and said, "It seems that the security here is not very good."
By the way, Wei Zong told Bai Xiao about the scoundrel who asked him for protection money at noon.
However, after hearing Wei Zong's words, Bai Xiao smiled softly and said: "That's the Tiger Wolf Gang, which can be regarded as an old gang in our Modu. It is said that it has connections with the big shots above..." As he spoke, Bai Xiao said
Pointing to the top, he then said: "It's better not to provoke me if you can."
"However, the protection fee they ask for is actually not too much. For a veteran like me, seven medium-grade spiritual stones a month is enough. After all, even the Tiger Wolf Gang sometimes relies on me to build weapons.
Yes, will they offend me too much?"
"Seven middle-grade spiritual stones?"
Hearing this number, Wei Zong frowned. You must know that he paid a full price of a high-grade spiritual stone, which is a full hundred yuan of mid-grade Yuan Stone.
Even if he is a newcomer, there shouldn't be such a big difference.
So, Wei Zong asked cautiously: "So, Brother Bai Xiao, how much is the monthly protection fee for a newcomer like me?"
"you?"
Bai Xiao frowned and glanced at Wei Zong, then thought about it and said: "It won't be too much. I remember that about ten middle-grade Yuan stones are enough. You will be much higher than this number!"
Thinking of this, Bai Xiao was suddenly a little surprised.
