The temporary trading market outside the ancient city of Stone is still busy and lively. Merchants are doing business in the open air, and many tents have been set up on the ground.
On this ordinary day, a low-key carriage came from the east. Some businessmen sitting on the roadside or on the carriage spotted the carriage. They looked directly at the young boy.
"Hey! That guy is back!"
"What? Where is it? Oh, it's true."
"He has injuries on his face. He probably overturned the car and turned back now."
"Whatever! As long as you can come back alive, hehehe! Hey! That banker, give me money!"
A businessman named Tatap shouted happily. When the boy left, some bored businessmen started a business to see if the boy could come back alive within a week.
As a result, most people thought that he would definitely die after this trip, and most people believed that he would die. Of course, there were also people who did the opposite. A few businessmen such as Tatapu boldly bought
They got the movable type, and they are now excitedly collecting the money with the words written in the movable type.
After a while, businessmen who liked to join in the fun gathered around, and some businessmen who were still discussing business couldn't help but run over to see how the "brave" young man came back alive after venturing into the demon territory.
Already.
The sound of rolling wheels came, and the businessman with sensitive ears could immediately tell that the carriage was empty.
"Huh? When you left that day, didn't you pick up a truck full of goods? How come you couldn't save it when you came back?"
"It must have been robbed by the demons."
"Then it's pretty good to come back alive."
the businessman joked.
At this time, the young man came to them expressionlessly.
"Hoo! Hoo ho!"
He pulled the reins and made the horse stop slowly. At this time, he looked a bit like a coachman. At this time, a short businessman with a broad head and big ears squeezed through the crowd and came to the young man, smiling.
explain:
"Awesome, boy! I really saw you right."
He is the Tatap who just received the gift, a businessman in the fabric business.
Lars smiled slightly and said nothing. He ignored the questions from the group of businessmen and shouted: "Please give way, I want to return the carriage."
Seeing that the young man came back without saying anything, the businessmen couldn't help but become more curious.
"Hey, young man, tell us what happened to you."
A businessman couldn't help shouting, and they followed closely on both sides of the carriage, asking questions as they walked.
"Yes, you won't lose a piece of meat if you tell me."
"Don't be so stingy."
Lars glanced at them, then rolled his eyes and said, "If you have anything to say, just leave it like that."
"Well, you should tell me specifically where you are going."
"Beyond the mountain.",
Lars said calmly.
On the other side of the mountain? The businessmen turned around and looked at the huge mountain.
How is that possible? Let’s not even mention that the carriage cannot be boarded. The round trip only took three days. Who can believe it?
"Did someone prevent you from speaking?"
"Believe it or not, I did reach the other side of the mountain." Lars said with a half-smile, which made the businessmen feel itchy. This feeling of asking for something but not knowing it was very torturous. They were all secretly cursing this in their hearts.
Brats, but they still have a peaceful look on their faces.
"Where is your goods? Could it be that the demons really stole them?"
"Yes, have you ever encountered demons? Are there many scary demons there?"
"Yeah, a lot." Lars replied immediately.
There are demons? But he is safe and sound?
Businessmen, you look at me and I look at you, and you feel strange.
"Then how did you escape?"
They were confused and said that it was reasonable to say that it was impossible for a carriage loaded with goods to be faster than the terrifying demons, not to mention that it was easy to be ambushed in a forest that was not favorable to them.
"They wanted to catch me, so I threw some meat to them. When they were full, they naturally let me go."
Lars raised the corner of his mouth and said in a sinister manner. The businessman was stunned and immediately understood that this brat was taking revenge on them for making fun of him before. He was really a vengeful young man.
At this moment, a wealthy businessman stood up and said, "Hey boy, I'll give you a hundred yuan and tell me about it."
He held a piece of banknote and said to the young man with a somewhat arrogant expression. He was sure that the young man would not be able to withstand the temptation of the one hundred yuan. Not long after the young man left, some businessmen with good intentions found out his true identity.
I know that Lars is an orphan who lost his parents and was originally a resident of Stone Ancient City.
This disaster made all the residents of Stone Ancient City impoverished. Logically speaking, they should be very short of money now.
However, to everyone's surprise, he gave up and said, "Thank you, but I don't need it."
After saying that, he drove the carriage towards the stable, leaving a group of businessmen looking at him eagerly.
The businessman Tatap is very observant. He can see something strange in the other person's clothes at a glance. He has been selling clothes for so many years. Not to mention all the clothes in the world, he can roughly know where they are produced by just taking a look at them.
But he had never seen the clothes on the young man.
As soon as he returned to the stables of the hotel, Aggie appeared in front of Lars. It turned out that he had been secretly following the crowd.
"Confused! Why didn't you tell them anything?"
Aji stepped forward and took the reins, frowning and said.
Russ immediately got off the carriage. He looked at Aji and said, "Uncle Aji, don't worry, I know what I should do."
Aji had a frown on his face, fearing that Lars would not be able to complete the task. Hearing what the other party said, he couldn't help but sigh. Then he raised his head and asked in confusion: "Hey? Where is the little girl? How is it?"
Is it cured?"
Hearing this, Lars smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to you, her illness has been cured, but she hasn't woken up yet and is still in the Exchange City."
"Oh, that's pretty good. It'll be fine once it's cured. It'll be fine once it's cured. Haha." Aji said with a smile.
However, he then thought, no, could it be that the girl was taken as a hostage to prevent the young man from escaping?
Aji suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this. He remembered that when he knew that the big boss was not a human being and had terrifying power, he broke out in a cold sweat. That was an existence that mortals could not fight against. He hoped that the young man would not do stupid things.
Bar.
According to the rules, Aji arranged accommodation for the young man. He tried it out and wanted to know what happened to the young man in the trading city, but he seemed to be hiding something and just gave a brief explanation. Moreover, after he came back, he never told anyone
He went out to promote the trading city, but instead kept silent and stayed in the hotel. If he didn't go out and talk to the group of businessmen, who would have known that there was a trading city on the other side of the mountain?
Aji couldn't help but become anxious, but the young man kept reassuring him. How could he feel relieved?
The next day, Lars didn't have breakfast and went out early.
After fermentation all afternoon and all night yesterday, all the merchants in the temporary trading market knew about this incident. They became curious and eager to know what happened to the boy in those two or three days.
What's up.
Lars still didn't answer. He appeared openly in the temporary market and came to the snack stalls. He was quite interesting. He ordered from every stall and only took one bite of each serving.
When the businessmen saw it, they scolded him for his waste and were confused, when did this young man become so rich?
So some merchants who stayed in the temporary trading market began to secretly follow the young man and observed secretly. They could see a large group of merchants following a young man, like followers.
Soon, the more they followed the young man, the more interested they became in the other side of the legendary mountain.
"Boss, take this, this, and this, I want them all."
The boy bought a lot of women's clothes without even asking the price.
"A total of thirteen hundred."
"This is one thousand and fifty, there is no need to look for it."
The young man took out three pieces of paper money with a face value of 500 and stared at the businessman behind him.
What was the reason that made such a poor boy so rich all of a sudden? Businessmen are the most obsessed with money, and they couldn't bear it anymore.
"Stop, young man, I want to ask you something."
Several businessmen blocked the young man's path, but Lars was not afraid. He carried large and small bags of clothes, looked up at the businessmen, and said, "What are you doing? I don't seem to know you."
The people in front of them looked at each other, then looked at the young man and said, "Don't worry about whether you know him or not, we just want to treat you to a meal."
they said.
"No, I have something to do."
The young man refused.
This air of arrogance annoys others, but the fact that he is so confident means that this kid has really made a fortune, because now he is completely like an arrogant nouveau riche who doesn't know the heights of the world.
"Hey, here's 10,000 yuan, tell us what happened these days, and the money will be yours."
A well-dressed businessman with a top hat said, and the four strong men beside him stared at Lars coldly. This scene made some businessmen take a few steps back. They knew that these four people were retired adventurers from the Adventurer's Guild.
, and they are all red adventurers. If you can hire them, you must be a very rich boss.
Lars didn't appreciate it. He said no, shook his head and prepared to leave.
"Humph, if you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."
Before the businessman finished speaking, Lars suddenly felt as if his shoulder was clamped by an iron clamp, and he was suddenly unable to move. He saw a strong man put his hand on his shoulder, and he was lifted up as soon as they met.
, before those merchants could react, the boy disappeared, leaving only a few bags on the ground.
"What are you looking at?"
A former red adventurer bodyguard glared at everyone fiercely, and the merchants who did not dare to cause trouble dispersed. No one knew where the young man was taken.
At this time, the clothes seller picked up the bags of clothes.
"Ouch!! Let me go!"
The gagged Russ was suddenly released. He stumbled to the ground and took a mouthful of sand. He quickly stood up and found that he was in a wilderness with no one around.
In front of him were four strangers with unfriendly faces and a smiling man in formal wear. He came to Lars with a cane and picked up Lars' wallet that had fallen on the ground.
"Hoho, it's made of good quality fabric. Where did you get the coins? Huh? It's a currency I've never seen before."
The businessman took out a silver coin from his wallet, held it with his index finger and thumb, and placed it in front of his eyes.
"Give it back!"
"Be honest."
Lars suddenly shouted, but he was immediately held down by two bodyguards. The coin in the businessman's hand fell. Through his index finger and thumb, he saw the young man on the ground. From his point of view, the boy seemed to be easily captured by him.
It's like pinching the ground.
"It's just as I guessed. Where you went, there was a new civilization, right?"
He walked up to the young man. Lars saw the other man's shoes, but couldn't raise his head. The businessman looked down at the young man on the ground and asked coldly: "If you don't want to suffer some physical pain, then be obedient."
Answer my question, where did your money come from?"
Lars gritted his teeth and said, "I found it on the mountain."
Suddenly, he felt a pain in his hand, and the opponent's sharpened cane was inserted into the back of his hand.
"ah!!"
Lars yelled, but immediately held his head down and pressed his face to the ground.
"loose."
After about ten seconds, the businessman raised his hand and asked his subordinates to grab Lars's hair and let him watch online.
At this time, Russ's face had the expression he wanted, frightened and uneasy.
He smiled and said: "If you say it now, you can still keep your hand, but it won't be possible later. Don't risk your life for a little money. This is my life advice to you, little brother."
Lars sobbed and twitched and said: "I, I said, you don't believe it even if I say it."
"Whether you believe it or not is my problem, and whether you tell me or not is your business. Do you understand?"
The businessman raised his cane and drew it up from Lars's belly until it was against Lars' throat. He looked at him with a scary look and asked: "Do you understand?"
Lars didn't dare to make any big moves. He looked like those who were frightened.
"Ming, I understand."
After saying that, the businessman let go of his cane after two seconds. He looked back and saw that the bodyguard behind him brought a small folding chair from nowhere and placed it on the ground. He sat on it and hung his legs.
, holding up the right side of his face and looking at the boy, like a listener who is ready to listen to a story.
"Say it."
In this way, the young Lars was "forced" to tell what he had always wanted others to know. He told about the tunnels, the trading city, and the demons and humans living together, and that the city lord was a human.
Things, told the other party.
The businessman was shocked and confused when he heard this, thinking that the other party was talking nonsense.
But looking at the other person's appearance, he wouldn't dare to lie even if he had the courage to do so. This is even more strange. When can demons live with humans?
The businessman's brows were raised and lowered, and he began to think deeply.
If there really is such a city, then the market there will be huge. Even if you don't have any business acumen, as long as you have the guts, you can make a lot of money just by pulling a cart of goods there.
The businessman was also moved, but he was still a little scared. What if what the young man said was true or false?
He rolled his eyes, suddenly waited for the young man, and said, "Besides this bag of money, what evidence do you have for what you said? And why did they give you so much money out of nowhere?"
Hearing this, the young man lowered his head.
"Okay! Sure enough, you still have something to hide from us! You are looking for death!" The businessman raised his cane and was about to hit him.
"Wait! Don't hit me! I said! I will say anything!"
Russ said in panic.
"explain!!"
"Okay, I say, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone."
The young man said.
The businessman has a weird look on his face, don't tell others? There is something wrong with this young man! He must have done something shameful!
He smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you."
The young man still looked reluctant, and then said solemnly:,
"I sold my sister."
Hearing this, the businessmen and bodyguards all looked shocked.
