May 11 at a quarter past four in the afternoon.

While the meeting of the six dukes of the imperial capital was arguing over the terms of the 'free trade agreement', Peidi and his party arrived at the northern market town of Sharp, after six days and six nights.

Sharptown, a post market town, is located at the crossroads of several trade routes, and was built a hundred years ago by the Barrett family to open up the northern territory of the Twak Territory, between the Klan and Twak Territories.

The market towns of the local territories were not as large as the towns under the Central Empire, and were 'real' towns... The only thing that might be a military building in the town is the wooden walls that surround it.

Moreover, the soldiers patrolling the walls were unusually simple in their equipment, with only spears and wooden shields.

...

Because of the long and high-intensity travel, Pedi did not choose to camp outside the town today... They plan to get a good night's sleep and eat something that can really be called something in the town's inn.

As a direct member of the Barrett family, who rule Twak Territory, Andy had planned to let his entourage inform the mayor, but Pedi refused, because he didn't want to waste his energy and time on this, he just wanted to sleep well in the bed he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Two copper coins per person!" The town's guards didn't pay much attention to Pedi and his party, the merchants and mercenaries who came and went here every day were no different from Peidi and his group now. Outsiders entering the town had to pay a poll tax, and they had to be registered, and two copper coins per person was a night's price.

The administrative apparatus of the local territories is very simple, with only the town government and the tax office, and there is no city guard, and they rely on locally recruited guards and one or two police officers from the guards.

Collier smiled respectfully, took out a silver coin from his bosom and handed it to the guard, "Our horses need to enter the town too, you see..."

Hearing this, the guard raised his eyebrows, and did not refuse, but took the silver coin, wiped it on his body, and after careful confirmation, shouted to his nearby colleagues: "Release!"

...

"These people are embezzling, I remember that Twak received a city tax for only one copper coin!" Andy whispered, "These damn guards!"

"Sir Andy, if you don't want to be too troublesome, you'd better not bother with such trifles. Wizard Collier shrugged, "After all, the military department has four days left for us... Believe me, it's worth it, and tomorrow our horses will be as if they had just come out of your private stable. ”

Pedi gave him a pat on the shoulder, looked at Cowlier and said, "He just feels a little uncomfortable being charged favors in his family's territory, and I bet he didn't even think about it." ”

"You know me, Cousin Pedy!" Andy said through gritted teeth.

"Haha..."Everyone burst out laughing.

"Damn the mercenaries, put away your woman-like screams. ”

At the entrance of the town is a simple market, the main purpose of its existence is to supply passing caravans, perhaps because of the fact that business here is not very good in the town, and most of the stall owners sleep on stone benches in front of their stalls.

And the laughter of Pei Di and the others woke up many stall owners, and the bad temper of the man in the highland grassland at this time was immediately reflected...

"It's not a wise choice to wake the Dwaks to sleep, outsiders!" shouted another stall owner.

"Go back to your masters, you uneducated lambs. Cowlier shot back immediately.

"Would you like to taste the weight of my hammer?" a stall owner held a large black hammer in his hand, and "thudded" against the stone stall in front of him.

"I do want to give it a try!"

"Then you come here..." The stall owner was stunned, obviously, looking at his expression, he knew that he didn't want to do anything about the town.

"You should rush up and teach them a lesson, Simon, instead of pretending there!" said one stall owner.

"Oh, Simon, you're a shame on the face of a Twak..."

"Why don't you go?" the old stall owner, Simon, blushed.

"Coward Simon, you should learn from your wife, she is braver than you!"

"Haha..."

The development of things was a bit unexpected, and Pei Di and the others couldn't help but laugh along with it.

"Ding...", there was a crisp sound, and Collier played with a few copper coins in his hand, "Whoever of you takes us to the nearest hotel here, the money is his!"

Although the magician's voice was not loud, and even faint in the laughter around him, after he said this, the scene suddenly became quiet.

"I'll go!" the stall owner named Simon, who had just held the hammer in his hand, reacted the fastest, and when he shouted, he had already dropped the hammer in his hand and ran to Cowlier with a smile.

"Oh, damn it!" the surrounding stall owners suddenly regretted.

Simon laughed, glanced at the nearby stall owner like a victorious rooster, then took off the leather felt hat on his head, bowed down and said, "There's a hotel in front of you called 'Little Pony', and the barbecue and ale at this hotel are not to be missed!"

He had completely forgotten what had just happened when he had blackened his face and tried to teach Collier a lesson with a hammer.

Simon's words suddenly made the eyes of the hungry Peidi and the others light up...

"Distinguished guests, please come with me!" Simon led the way, leaning sideways.

"Keep up," Pedi shrugged.

...

The Little Pony inn at the entrance to the race gate is not far away, and when Pedy and the others walk out of the market, they can look up and see the hotel's signboard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's just ahead—" Simon rubbed his hands and looked at Collier.

"You're cunning. Cowlier watched as they walked less than fifty meters, "But you deserve it!" he handed Simon all the copper coins in his hand, without counting how many copper coins he had.

"May the Goddess bless you and your friends. Simon took the coin and bowed.

"Let's go, don't waste time. Andy was already hungry, and he and Pedi had obviously not yet adapted to the dry taste of dry food, so they ate very little each time.

"I never thought about today's dinner that I was looking forward to. Pedi said with a smile as he looked at Simon as he left.

Collier smiled, "My lord, if you don't want to be slaughtered like that later, you'd better let me have something." ”

"Oh?" Pedy's mind suddenly recalled the events of the last tourist area of the world, but his feet unconsciously sped up a lot.

"Wait, Sir Pedy!" Hades suddenly took two sharp steps, stopped Pedy, and then said in a deep voice, "It smells of blood, human blood!"

"Yes!" Pei Di and his cousin Andy's bodies were stunned, and then their faces changed, and the next moment, the looming holy power around Pei Di began to spread to the surroundings.

"From that hotel. Wizard Collier frowned, pointing to the inn pointing to the foal, "It seems that we can't eat the barbecue..."
