Chapter 8 Entering the City for Trade:
The Volo River is the largest tributary of the Saint-Ledin River, the longest river in the northern part of the Clay Kingdom. It itself is also a river formed by the convergence of countless mountain streams.
Therefore, the further downstream you go, the more abundant the water source is and the wider the river surface becomes. The terrain gradually changed from mountains to plains.
As Romo and George drove the carriage, there were more and more villages, towns and fields along the way, and the riverside became lively.
Ships gradually appeared on the river, and there were bustling trading docks beside the river.
Luo Mo sat on the carriage and looked at the trackers working hard on the river beach in the distance, as well as the carriages and pedestrians passing by on the riverside road. He felt like a country boy entering the city.
'There are still many people in the west of the river valley. Except for wild beasts, there are not even ghosts around my manor. ' Luo Mo thought secretly.
At this time, a semi-open carriage passed by, and sitting at the back of the carriage was a pretty girl wearing a purple tube top dress and a flower headdress, humming a tune happily.
Her white shoulders were bare, and her long legs were swaying in black stockings. George stared so hard that he almost drove the carriage into the grass beside the road.
"George, watch the road!" Luo Mo quickly pulled the reins for him and reminded him.
"Yes, yes." George came to his senses and stabilized the carriage.
He reluctantly glanced at the girl who had gone away, and said: "Master, this woman from the west is too beautiful. If I can hold her in my arms and sleep, it would be worth dying." "Lick the slut from your mouth back.
" , don't throw it at me." Luo Mo glanced at him and said: "After entering the city, don't unscrupulously stare at well-dressed girls. Those are women from noble families, and it's easy to piss them off."
"Master, I know this." George patted his chest and said, "Father told me to keep my eyebrows low after entering the city, don't speak loudly, and don't cause trouble for the master." "Yes." Luo Mo nodded with satisfaction
. He didn't want to conflict with anyone, and he couldn't afford to conflict with them.
I heard that Marquis Arnold of Black Rock City is a genuine third-level magic knight and the most powerful person in the entire Volo Valley.
He is now an entry-level magic knight, not even a trainee magic knight. Compared with him, he is four levels behind. Once they meet, there is no chance of winning.
The carriage carried two people and the bodies of two owl beasts, and its traveling speed was limited. The two of them walked until night and slept in the wild. The next morning, they finally arrived at Black Rock City.
This is the most prosperous place in the entire Woro Valley. The solid and thick city walls, the wide and clean stone roads outside the city, and the towering towers all around give people a huge shock.
Lomo looked at these magnificent buildings and thought that these boulders could never be stacked by manpower without the help of cranes and excavators. They should be the result of magic.
In this world, magic is the primary productive force.
George became extremely honest at this moment, with a cowering expression on his face, and drove the carriage in line towards the main entrance.
The captain of the guard at the city gate stopped the carriage and asked in a stiff tone: "Where do you come from? What do you do?"
"Saldin Manor, you come to the city to sell goods, sir." George nodded and bowed.
"Go, go, serfs are not allowed to enter the city to trade." The guard captain waved his hand and said impatiently.
"This is our Lord Saldin, he is not a serf." George quickly pointed his palm at Lomo and explained.
The guard captain looked Lomo up and down. Generally, lords or nobles wear decent robes and carry valuable jewelry when entering the city. Romo, on the other hand, was wearing hunting leather armor, and he didn't look like a lord at all.
However, he was carrying a long strip wrapped in linen behind him, which looked like a knight's sword.
"Are you Lord Saldin?" the guard captain asked suspiciously.
"Exactly." Luo Mo said, taking out an obsidian token with the lord's symbol from his arms and handing it to the guard.
The guard captain took the token, looked at it for a long time, and finally believed in Luo Mo's identity. I thought to myself that this lord was really miserable, and the clothes he wore were not as rich as any of his soldiers.
"Go in. Remember to take the carriage path." The guard captain returned the token to Luo Mo and pointed him in a direction.
"Thank you." Luo Mo nodded slightly to thank him, and then motioned for George to drive into the city.
There are a total of five markets in Black Rock City. The magic market is in the wizard area on the east side of the city.
The two wandered around the magic market for a long time, and finally found a warehouse that could collect demonized beasts.
The signboard of the warehouse says Witte's Magic House, and the store is very large. The heads of various beasts were hanging in the hall, which was quite shocking to see.
Romo was afraid that George would show cowardice and asked him to look at the carriage. He personally dragged two linen bags containing the owl beast corpses to the counter.
The teller casually glanced at Luo Mo's attire, and while recording something, he said casually: "Sir, do you have any demonized wild animals to sell?"
Luo Mo lifted up a wild beast in one hand and said, "This How much are two owl beasts worth?"
After hearing the word owl beast, the teller finally turned his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Two owl beasts?"
"Exactly." Luo Mo nodded.
The teller immediately stood up, walked out from the counter, motioned to Luomo to put the bag on the ground, and then checked it.
After the inspection, the teller showed a happy expression on his face, then hid the happy expression, frowned slightly and said: "This owl beast is a bit stale, the magic power has dissipated." "I just killed it yesterday, it wo
n't It’s stale,” Lomo explained.
Just kidding, before he came, he used ice sword skills to freeze the owl beast's body. How could it not be fresh?
But he saw the teller shaking his head and still insisting: "It's been too long and the meat is no longer valuable. I can only buy some internal organs and heads." Seeing that the
teller obviously wanted to lower the price, Luo Mo shook his head and said, "That's fine. Let me try another one."
With that said, Luo Mo re-wrapped the owl beast and dragged it away to leave.
"Sir, please wait a moment!"
A voice suddenly sounded behind the teller.
Luo Mo's eyes jumped over the teller's figure and looked forward.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing a lake green robe slowly walking over. He wore a mage's square hat on his head, and had a beautiful beard that reached over his chest. He had a very elegant demeanor, and there was a sense of calmness and nobility in his movements.
"Oliver, your taste is so bad."
As he said, he ignored the teller, walked up to Lomo, extended his right hand in a friendly manner, and said with a smile: "Sir, my teller is ignorant. Please allow me I apologize and welcome to Witte's Magic House. My name is Lexa William, and I am the deputy store manager here." "
Lomo Saldin."
Romo threw the owl beast to the ground and extended his arms generously. He held out his right hand and shook his hand.
Rexxar William looked at the wild beasts on the ground, re-examined them, and said in a deep voice: "These two wild beasts are both top-grade, worth at least 80 gold coins. I will pay 50 first, and they will be weighed and dissected. Later, based on the quality of the owl beast's internal organs, I will replenish the remaining gold coins for you, do you think it's okay?"
Hearing this price, Luo Mo's heart skipped a beat.
In the Volo Valley, 20 silver coins can buy an ordinary serf. 80 silver coins can buy a young serf who is proficient in farm work.
And 1 gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins.
In other words, these two owl beasts can buy almost all the farmers in their manor.
"This price is acceptable."
Luo Mo finally showed a faint smile on his face.
