Section 1 Prontera

After two days of trekking, Harry finally stood at the entrance of the 'gate' of Prontera, only to see a 15-meter-high wall standing in front of him, with five large characters engraved in the center of the city "Prontera City". The city gate below is 8 meters high and 10 meters wide, and can accommodate four carriages to pass through at the same time.

"Into the city!" Harry looks like you're an idiot, is it so obvious that you still need to ask?

"This, in principle, should be!" Harry thought to himself, you can see that, too?

"Look here!" the guard pointed to a sign on the wall, "The main city 'gate' is only allowed to pass through vehicles, and pedestrians should enter through the side 'gate'." ”

Harry took a closer look and saw a few lines of large letters carved on the wall, to the effect that due to the large number of vehicles in Prontera, the side 'doors' were specially opened for pedestrians to pass through, so as to ensure the smooth entry and exit of vehicles and the safety of pedestrians.

Looking at the big 'gate' again, it is true that all the people who enter and exit are horse-drawn carriages or wagons, and pedestrians enter in small groups not far away. Harry, who felt embarrassed, blushed and hurried to the side 'door', and he was very embarrassed when he suddenly heard the guard and his companion say contemptuously, "It's a hillbilly again, I can't stand it!"

Harry became angry for a moment, "wanting" to teach the guard a lesson, but this is the largest trading city in the country, and he is afraid that such a disturbance will bring him a lot of trouble, so he snorted secretly, and quietly summoned a "chicken" egg sized ice ball, and 'shot' it into the mouth of the guard behind him.

The guard, who was talking to his colleague, had a pain in his mouth, and the puck hit him in the jaw, and the left side of the guard's face immediately swollen, as if a 'chicken' egg was stuffed in his mouth.

"Ahh ”

His comrades also clenched their weapons and searched for 'enemies', but found no trace. Harry had already walked into the middle of the line of pedestrians and snickered to himself.

Prontera, the country's largest trading city, claims to be able to buy goods on the mainland as long as they are sold on the mainland, although this statement is a bit exaggerated, but basically as long as it is not a very rare priceless treasure, it will definitely be found in Prontera, even if it is not, you can also find a chamber of commerce or an auction house to book.

The square city of Prontera is divided into four parts by a large crossroads in the middle, and all along the streets are all kinds of shops, silver houses, and jewelry stores. The so-called inch of land is perfectly interpreted in Prontera. The rent or price of any 'door' on the side of the street is unimaginable anywhere else, so the merchants who can establish themselves in Prontera are all powerful or have amazing backgrounds. The trade market is mainly concentrated on both sides of the cross street, and the four areas divided are some residential houses, taverns, inns, and entertainment venues. There is only one local exception, and that is the two buildings in the north-western area of Prontera.

One of the two buildings is the auction house of Prontera and the other is the treasure house, both of which are owned by the same owner, but no one knows who they are. As the name suggests, the auction house is a place to auction items, but Prontera's auction house has a difference from other auction houses, that is, items worth less than 5,000 gold coins are not consigned, that is, if you want to auction an item in the auction house, you must bring at least 5,000 gold coins, which also indicates that the goods auctioned by their auction house are all rare treasures. The treasure building is also used to sell items, but all the things in it are fixed prices, and the same is not accepted for goods worth less than 5,000 gold coins, and if a piece of goods is not cared for in the treasure building for half a year, it will be auctioned at half price to ensure the freshness of the goods in the treasure building. Neither the auction house nor the treasure building itself provides goods, all of them are entrusted for sale, they only 'draw' fees and commissions from the middle, even so, the annual income of the two buildings is astronomical.

Such a prosperous commercial atmosphere makes the annual tax paid by Prontera to the empire account for 1/3 of the country, and it can be said that if Prontera's trade is stopped, the empire's losses are immeasurable. Therefore, the successive lords of Prontera were members of the royal family, and they had to be close associates of the emperor to hold this position. The empire also stationed heavy troops in Prontera, and regularly cleared bandits around Prontera, and there have been no robbers and bandits around Prontera in the past ten years. The security in the city of Prontera is also excellent, the traders do not have to worry about their own safety in Prontera, and it is strictly forbidden to fight in the city, and stealing and robbing in Prontera is a capital crime, so no one dares to cross the thunder pool.

Similarly, Prontera's economic development has led to the cost of living in Prontera being doomed to be high, and Harry is clearly in trouble right now.

"What?" Harry almost jumped in shock, "Three gold coins for a night?"

"3 gold coins is just the worst, only one 'bed' is provided, and it costs 10 gold coins for a single room for one night. The innkeeper rolled his eyes, and it was another poor boy who had come to Plondra to beg for a living, and everyone was making such a fuss.

"You guys are a black shop! I used to have a maximum of 20 silver coins a night in a city inn!" Harry clutched the seven gold coins in his pocket, but his heart was bleeding, once upon a time, I was also a rich man.

"What kind of place are you, remember, this is Prontera. I can't live in love, you go to other inns at this price, I don't believe you can find it. "The guy looks like he's ignoring it, and he doesn't make much money anyway, so it doesn't matter if Harry can't live here.

"Stay!Stay!" Harry knew that his buddy wouldn't tell a lie, he didn't expect Prontera's consumption to be so high, if this continued, shouldn't he be sweeping the floor and going out on the third day?" Harry took out three gold coins and added, "Stay for a day, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Do you want to stay with you?" said Harry, who suddenly remembered another question and asked the fellow.

"I want to think beautifully, and I want to take care of the rice according to the standard of 3 gold coins. "Dude, it's another chill, this hillbilly is too much.

"How much does it cost to eat?" Although the guy's attitude made him very unhappy, but after all, he still had to live here, and when he had the money, he would smash him to death with 100 gold coins, Harry secretly made up his mind.

"The cheapest one is 1 gold for a meal. "The man returned.

...... said, "Wouldn't you have eaten this meal without the next meal?" After eating 2 meals, you will have no money to live tomorrow. "So, is there anything cheaper to eat outside?"

Glancing at Harry, "The bun shop next door has 1 gold coin and 5 buns, if you don't have a lot of food, you can eat 2 meals, but he shouldn't have any silver coins to find you, so you can only buy 5 buns and keep them to eat slowly." ”

Oh my God, what kind of city this is, even the buns are counted in gold!!, Harry wailed in pain. Regardless of what happened tomorrow today, "I'll eat here." ”
