Suldak took off his salamander skin armor after dinner, changed into a set of ordinary linen clothes, and did not wear the noble medal or knight's badge, and took Selina out of the barracks. This was the only way to become a civilian.
Only by dressing up can you have the opportunity to take on the lives of the people.
Suldak was going to wander around the town and stopped by the tavern to inquire about renting a house. He did not let Andrew or Samira accompany him. Even Xigna agreed to stay in the small military camp building under Selena's persuasion.
sleep.
Selena changed out of the black robe she was wearing and put on a beige dress made of silk fabric. She pulled her long hair up high, revealing a section of her snow-white neck. Her figure immediately appeared tall and slender.
A little bit of lipstick instantly makes your whole person look extremely bright.
When he walked out of the military camp, even Andrew, who had always been unfaithful towards women, was slightly startled. He stared at Selena for a while before he thought about moving away.
The two of them walked out of the military camp and walked along the dirt road in front toward the town.
It was very dark, and there were no street lights on the dirt road. Fortunately, both Suldak and Selena's eyesight were not bad, and they walked into Dodan Town in a few steps.
The military camp is built under the northern city wall and is located in an open space in the north of Duodan Town.
It is less than a hundred meters away from Duodan Town. When you walk into the town, the surrounding area becomes lively. A group of children are playing a game of catching thieves on the street. The clever and weird children hide in the shadows of the street buildings and stare with big eyes.
Peeping out at the friends looking for someone.
Selena has fair and delicate skin, a plump figure and no fat. The beige dress looks tight on her body, with a full arc from the edge of her chest to her armpits. She has a beautiful white face and amber eyes.
Looking towards Duodan Town in the distance, the eyes are as charming as a fox.
She did not feel so relaxed in Wall Village, Halanza City, or Bena City.
No more worries about life, no need to worry about food and clothing, and no need to worry about being arranged by the census clerk to marry an old man whom he has never even met. The black magicians of the Priory hiding in the shadows have all disappeared.
Finally I can breathe the free air in the small town...
She really wanted to throw off her shoes, walk through the town barefoot, stand in front of those men in the square in the center of the town, and no longer have to cover her face...
She boldly took Suldak's arm, her soft body pressed against Surdak's, and the two of them walked in step toward a tavern in the center of the town.
The plaque at the entrance of the tavern is an ale cup made of wooden boards. The white hops on the wooden board are vividly painted, swaying back and forth in the night wind.
The tavern of the town is located in the square in the center of the town. Almost all the buildings on the street here are rented by businessmen. At night, lights are lit in the shops, and the lights shine through the glass windows onto the square.
Two groups of drunken young people were fighting outside the tavern. Some people were beaten until they were lying on the ground, covering their heads and wailing. Some people were chasing the escaped people with stones in their hands. This kind of fight only needs to be stopped.
If you use weapons and don't kill people, you won't be held accountable.
Selena glanced at Suldak in surprise.
“Are you wondering why I didn’t take care of it?” Suldak whispered to Selina.
If it were in the city of Halanza or in the village of Wall, Surdak, a knight of the guard camp, could immediately settle the dispute as long as he stood up, but this was not Halanza.
“Aren’t there troops stationed here to maintain law and order?” Selena pursed her red lips and asked.
Surdak shook his head and said: "We are just a garrison. As long as there is no fighting or killing, we will not pay attention to these energetic young people fighting in the town. We must give them a chance to vent their excess.
energy."
Selena glanced at Suldak intriguingly.
On the other side of the square, there is a bard sitting by the pool. He is wearing a flashy leather armor. The collar of the leather armor is opened outwards, revealing his bronze chest muscles. Apart from the fact that the bard has a good figure, there is nothing else.
usefulness.
The bard was singing there holding the organ, surrounded by several young girls. Some were sitting by the pool and listening quietly, some were holding their best friend's shoulders and whispering softly. Occasionally, there were whispers, and some were
Her footsteps twisted gently to the melodious music.
Younger children were playing outside the store by the light in the display window.
There are also some people who are busy in the shops. Those busy people are basically local aborigines. In order to ensure their basic life, they have to work late every day.
Suldak opened the door and walked into the tavern.
When the waiter at the door saw Selena, he even forgot his duty to open the door. Like the other drinkers, he stared at Selena's charming face and watched her and Suldak walking through the tavern hall.
Selena, wearing light makeup, was like a magnet at the moment, attracting the attention of almost all the men in the pub.
Suldak strolled to the bar and ordered two glasses of local fruit wine and a plate of salted nuts from the bartender who was cleaning the glasses. Then he and Selina sat in front of the bar and drank slowly.
After the two had a drink, except for some people who were eager to come over and buy Selena a drink, it seemed that the inside of the pub had returned to normal.
Perhaps the Roman dagger on Surdak's waist played a certain role, and no one came over for a while.
Suldak pushed two empty glasses to the bartender, and then pushed a silver coin to the bartender. The bartender asked: "What else would you like to drink?"
He pressed his fingers on the silver and asked the bartender: "Where can I rent a house in the town?"
The bartender leaned out of the bar and looked around the tavern hall. When he saw the group of drinkers by the wall, he shouted: "Epperson, do you have a house to rent out?"
A thin man wearing a cloth apron stood up among the group of drinkers. He held a glass of ale in his hand and asked with a smile:
“What’s wrong? I’m not satisfied with your little home. Do you want to live somewhere else?”
The bartender pointed at Suldak and said directly, "These two guests want to rent a house!"
The slender man named Epperson left his seat with the ale and walked to the bar.
Suldak also took the opportunity to release his fingers from the silver coins and asked the bartender to put the silver coins into his purse. The bartender took the opportunity and said to Suldak: "He is the only tailor in the town, and he has a tailor shop at home."
.”
Epson, the owner of the tailor shop, didn't seem to mind the bartender revealing his information. He just stared at Suldak and asked with some vigilance: "Are you from out of town?"
Suldak stood up and said to the tailor shop owner: "We came from Wilkes City."
The owner of the tailor shop squinted his eyes, his nasal voice was a little thick, and he snorted twice before saying: "Now is not a good season for hunting. Are you planning to do business here? If you are a tailor, tell me as soon as possible. There is no way I can rent the house to you."
We are traveling together, haha!”
After saying this, he smiled humorously.
Suldak left the bar with the second glass of fruit wine, sat in the corner of the tavern with the tailor shop owner, and said casually: "...I want to do some fur business."
The tailor shop owner was slightly startled, and followed Suldak to the opposite side of him. His eyes stayed on Selina's face for a moment, then he let out a "grum" and took a big sip of cold ale.
Suldak put his hands around Selena's slim waist and said to the tailor shop owner:
“I need a quiet place where no one will disturb me. I hate thieves who lie outside the courtyard wall and peek inside...”
The owner of the tailor shop showed an "I know it very well" smile and said in a low voice: "It can only be a small single-family building. I happen to have one that I want to rent out, but the price is not cheap."
“Is it convenient to take a look tomorrow?” Suldak didn’t even mention the price.
The tailor shop owner readily agreed: "Of course!"
The two of them raised their wine glasses and banged them. The tailor shop owner was not in a hurry to leave. He asked Suldak curiously:
“You want to start a fur business?”
Suldak took out a pile of wind wolf leather from the magic waist bag, showed it to the tailor shop owner, pointed at the wolf skin and said:
“It’s best to use leather that can be carved with magic patterns. I have friends in the Magic Guild who can sell that kind of precious leather at a good price.”
Looking at the magic halo flowing on the fur, the tailor shop owner’s eyes narrowed and he whispered:
"Then you should be careful about the trading house. Their main business is also dealing in leather goods. If you go to Duodan Town to buy leather goods, you are obviously robbing other people's business. It is best to be careful at ordinary times. The people in the trading house and many adventure groups in the adventure guild are like
There is a cooperative relationship. They not only purchase fur goods, but also help those people deal with some shady things. Moreover, the business group also maintains an armed group, so it is best not to let them find an excuse for conflict."
Surdak smiled, put the leather in his hand into his magic waist bag, and said confidently: "I'm not afraid of them. I have many magician friends in Wilkes. They told me that the most profitable thing here is
Fur business."
When the tailor shop owner heard what Suldak said, he shook his head and said: "Besides the slave trade, the most profitable business is magic herbal medicine, followed by the sale of magic materials. Magic leather is just one of the magic materials. You are in Will
I know the magician in Wilkes City, and I occasionally go to Wilkes City to buy some magic cloth. I am very familiar with the magicians in the city, but they don't know me."
“Mr. Gerald the Magician.” Surdak said without thinking.
The tailor shop owner asked with some confusion: "Does the Magic Guild in Wilkes City have this Master Magician?"
"Of course, if you want to buy magic weave cloth again, you can tell me directly. I can ask my magician friend to mail some to me, and I can definitely give you an internal price." Surdak said, patting his chest.
The tailor shop owner's eyes lit up and he stared at Suldak and asked, "Really? I really have to think about this. In addition to the magic pattern cloth, can I get some rune cloth?"
Suldak readily agreed: "I have to write to ask about this. Most of the magic cloths I usually come into contact with are magic weave cloth. If it is magic weave cloth, you can mail some to me directly."
“It’s good to have magic-weave cloth.” The tailor shop owner showed a hint of a businessman’s smile on his face.
The two clinked their glasses again and took a sip of wine. Then Suldak asked: "I don't quite understand why those adventurous groups went to Invercargill to hunt in the Warcraft Forest and sold the harvested Warcraft leathers to trading houses.
Are there still shady things?"
He looked like a newbie who had just entered the industry.
The tailor shop owner sighed, and then explained to Suldak in a low voice: "What's so difficult to understand? The adventure groups that can stay here are basically criminals who have been exiled here. They want to avoid the guard camp and
They come to live in this remote area because of the investigation of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Team. These people usually go to the World of Warcraft Forest to hunt, and occasionally do those things...understand?"
The tailor shop owner made a "cutting" motion with one hand on the other hand and spoke in a very low voice.
“It’s easy to take advantage of others, right?” Suldak looked a little surprised.
The tailor shop owner took another sip of ale, and in order to prove that he was telling the truth, he whispered: "Why not! When you came here, didn't you hear that an adventure group just had an accident in the woods outside the town?
Already?"
“I know this.” Suldak said.
The tailor shop owner's voice came close to Suldak's ear: "Nine out of ten, it was that group of people who did it. Everyone here... understands it!" As he spoke, he poked his heart with a finger as thick as a radish.
.
The tailor shop owner added: "But our mayor said at the beginning that everything must be based on evidence. If there is no evidence, no one can frame anyone."
Suldak asked in surprise: "This gang of criminals who have been exiled here are actually protected by the mayor?"
"Of course not, not only that, the mayor even hates this group of people." Epson, the owner of the tailor shop, waved his hand and said: "It's okay to tell you these things. Anyway, in Duodan Town, these grievances have long been resolved."
It’s a semi-public secret, but last time it was a slave trader who robbed the adventure group of a glass beast’s skin outside, so the mayor came up with such a rhetoric, but now it is regarded as the code of conduct of Duodan Town. It is estimated that the mayor
The grown-ups themselves may also secretly regret it.”
Suldak asked the waiter to bring him two more glasses of ale. Seeing Suldak's generosity, the owner of the tailor shop touched his big red nose and continued:
"Speaking of which, the fur business needs a senior leatherworker to be profitable. Dodan Town alone cannot afford to support a senior leatherworker. The trading group usually hires a senior leatherworker from Wilkes City.
Then the trading groups distributed in various small towns can purchase Warcraft leather at the best price. Because there are senior leatherworkers behind them who can greatly control the manufacturing cost of magic leather, so if the leather is purchased in a small town, basically no one can compete for it.
We have passed through the trading house here, so the Warcraft leather business has always been controlled by the trading house, and no one can get involved."
The tailor shop owner glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered:
“You said that our mayor traveled all the way to Duodan Town. It is impossible to come here for the benefit of the indigenous people here. Of course he controls the most profitable business.”
Suldak asked: "Trading slaves?"
The tailor shop owner hid one hand under his armpit, secretly pointed at the drinkers on the other side of the tavern, and whispered: "Look, the group of people drinking there are the most famous people in the town."
Slave traders, they usually spend the whole month in the northern forest catching those tribes and natives who are unwilling to attach themselves to the empire. If nothing happened here in Duodan Town, you would hardly see them."
Surdak followed the topic and guessed: "Could it be that the slave trader gang was hacked by the adventure group composed of exiled criminals outside the town? Even if the adventure group of exiled criminals has a trading group as a backer, they
There is no reason to do this! They don’t know that those slave traders are the mayor’s people.”
The owner of the tailor shop laughed dryly and said in a low voice: "You probably don't know that a beast tide is about to break out here. Those adventure groups that hunt monsters for a living are gradually moving to other places. You said that if they come before they leave,
, how to make such a fortune?"
“Well, it’s really possible.” Suldak patted his forehead and said suddenly.
Just when the two were chatting in a lively manner, the bartender ran to them personally and took away the empty wine glass from the tailor shop owner's hand to stop the conversation between the two.
"Hey, Epperson, you've drunk too much, go home and sleep!" the bartender said to the tailor shop owner, and then asked Suldak: "By the way, where can I find you tomorrow?"
Suldak took out five silver coins, placed them on the table, then stood up and said to the bartender: "We will go to the tailor shop at noon!"
