Along the way, in conversation with Iloti, he found a little direction to hurry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the far north of the continent, there is a perennial snow-covered extremely cold place, known as the Snow Empire, where there is the "Holy Maiden Snow Peak", known as the Mountain of Miracles, which was the last place where the dragons disappeared, and legend has it that there is a clue to resurrect the dead at the peak.

To get to the Snow Empire, he had to travel for a long time, and the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Astaire was the first major stop.

Taiyan Castle is located on the border of the Astaire Kingdom, and due to its remoteness, there is only one road to the imperial capital.

Whether it's a traveling merchant on the go or a mercenary on a mission, if you don't have the ability to walk directly through the dangerous dense forest, you can only queue up on the long and crowded roads and pass through them one by one.

At noon, the yellow stone path is not particularly smooth, but it is not a problem for two carriages to pass side by side, and it is lined with rich green forests and meadows, so there is no need to worry about the occasional horse stepping out of the stone path and falling. Tall green trees shaded the sun, and Leo, cloaked, stopped next to a convoy and looked up at the blue sky almost obscured by the leaves.

The waiting time was grinding, but the shade brought some comfort to everyone.

"Mr. Leo, take a break, there is a checkpoint ahead, and we will leave after the president has paid the customs duties."

Leo nodded, took out the blanket from his bag, and was about to sit down on the spot when the Chamber of Commerce mercenary who spoke stopped him, smiled, and pointed to the open space beside him.

"I heard that Mr. joined our Chamber of Commerce in the nearby 'Servant Forest', and I was also a traveler before I became a mercenary of the Chamber of Commerce, so I felt very cordial when I met Mr."

The other party seemed to be very interested in Leo's origins, and he didn't know if it was out of his own curiosity or a gesture from the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, but Leo simply sat down next to him.

Such a move seemed to have won the respect of the latter, and the look of respect on his face became even stronger.

Being able to walk out of the 'Servant Forest' infested by low-level demonic beasts shows that his strength is definitely above that of a first-level warrior, and he is in respect for believers, and he is even more curious about Leo's experience.

And this heartiness easily won his trust and respect.

"I'm just a traveler, I haven't been in that jungle for long, and I'm lucky I didn't meet a monster." Leo said casually, "After all, there is such a thing as a monster, but only believers can deal with it." ”

The two of you and I have a word, and they get along unexpectedly well.

There was a cacophony of all sorts of noises, and although everyone stopped due to the crowd, the civilians, the majority, seemed to be very chatty, and it was a place where traveling merchants would exchange experiences and mercenaries would form small circles to tell about mysterious adventures outside.

There was only one pleasant female voice that could pass through the noisy crowd and reach his ears.

"Those two spider demons in the ruins, as well as seven moon god mines, where did you leave them alone?"

Iros's voice was a little surprised, she was very strange, with Leo's strength, crossing three large forests to reach the central imperial city, it was as easy as eating and drinking, why bother to blend into the chamber of commerce that she met halfway, and ask for trouble?

Moreover, the two spider demons in the ruins of Gauduner, as well as the remaining Luna Mine, Leo even discarded them in the ruins, which is even more strange.

"Anyway, those two things have been waiting for more than twenty years, and it's not bad for a few years, as for the seven Luna Mine, didn't you say that they are important props to keep the ruins running?"

Leo got up and left, walked to a shady place, and then rolled his eyes, this Luna-sama is better than him, and wants to take anything of value.

"It's just a relic of sealing the evil god, if I can absorb the magic power of the seven moon god mines, the time I will possess you will be reduced by more than half!"

Iros's voice was a little angry.

"Once the ruins of Gaudun Er collapse, the mountains will collapse, and it will be Taiam Castle that will suffer." He paused, "It's good to let those two spider demons look at the ruins in case outsiders invade." ”

"This—"

Iros's voice froze, she obviously didn't expect this, if it was at the expense of human life, it would be contrary to some of the principles of the moon god.

"Maybe you do things recklessly like this, so you end up being designed by the evil gods and imprisoned for hundreds of years."

Leo whispered, his eyes a little dim when he spoke of recklessness, and he himself was not.

It is extremely unwise to show his strength rashly, although he crushed Fei Wen and his party with absolute strength before, defeating the spider demon, but also due to his immaturity, Xiao Nuan almost completely dissipated, and Alina was also trapped in the [Soul Suppression].

Only by being cautious can he achieve his goal step by step, and after understanding this, he decided to join the Chamber of Commerce he met halfway and get to know this other world well.

It is impossible to ascend to the sky in one step and immediately find a way to awaken Xiao Nuan, or a way to resurrect Alina, all of which must be based on an in-depth understanding of the other world.

Iros stopped talking, she must have been reflecting, Leo thought so luckyly.

"Mr. Leo, did I leave suddenly because I was too reckless?"

Hearing a worried voice behind him, Leo turned around, and the previous Chamber of Commerce mercenary looked uneasy.

"No, I just remembered something from before."

Leo smiled, and the latter breathed a sigh of relief, and the enthusiasm returned to his face.

The two of them walked back to their previous blankets, and the Chamber of Commerce mercenary became more cautious about Leo's attitude.

At this moment, a fierce quarrel sounded in front of the carriage of the Hetel Chamber of Commerce in front.

The sudden collision of curses made the enthusiastic chatters stop talking, and they couldn't help but get up and start to move forward.

"The first site will cost two unmiscellaneous silver coins, do you think this is the gate of the Central Imperial City?"

"It's just a fart, I've been traveling for three years, and this kind of site is at most three copper coins, which has increased dozens of times, don't think that a knight is superior!"

"That's it! Even if it's a second-rate businessman! There is also dignity at all! ”

Gradually, the sound of a clear quarrel spread, like a pan of oil dripping into water, and the commoner merchants, who had a lot of understanding in their mood, united and protested in unison against the knights at the checkpoint.

The simple checkpoint, to put it bluntly, is just a small cabin, and a symbolic wooden barrier, and the knights who come here to guard it are knights at best, but in essence, they are just some down-and-out people who have been assigned, and the real strength is not even a first-class warrior.

They looked at the angry crowd with gloomy faces, and at the same time a little fear rose and they were a little overwhelmed.

The move to raise taxes by a large margin came from the "Iwajo Center," which oversees the border, and the tax increase was actually caused by what Taiamseong did.

The new development model implemented by Taiyan City has attracted many civilian chambers of commerce, and the trade of the entire border has appeared to be centered on Taiyan City, which has greatly affected the commodity prices of surrounding cities, and the circulation economy has changed, which directly affects the interest chain of "Rock City Center".

In order to ensure that the amount of money paid to the royal family every year, the "Iwaki Center" had no choice but to think about customs duties, and although the merchants had tasted the sweetness of the new system of Taiamjo, they had to spit something out here.

But the treasurers of the "Iwaki Center" clearly underestimated the courage of these civilians, or overestimated their ability to enforce taxes.

"A bunch, a bunch of civilians! What is there to be arrogant about! It's clear that he just caught up with the guy who was in good times, why make so much money and don't have to pay taxes! ”

A younger knight roared angrily, and the fact that the traveling merchants, who had previously had only a low income, tended to even surpass them in monthly income under the popularity of the new economy, which naturally caused their dissatisfaction.

"What are you talking about, a down-and-out knight who has been assigned, today I will teach you a lesson with my fists!"

A tall traveling merchant helplessly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and the scene spiraled out of control for a while.

The crowd roared, and the tall merchant won many cheers, and the knights nervously moved their hands to their swords.

"Enough!" The sound of cold cheers came from somewhere in the crowd, not loud, but with a strong deterrent effect, "What kind of system is it that makes a lot of noise!" ”

Along with the surprised crowd, Leo's gaze shifted from the front to the back, a middle-aged man dressed in a purple merchant costume.

The silk blouse of gold silk is gorgeous just by looking at it, and the eagle pattern on his arm shows his identity - the largest mobile chamber of commerce on the border: the Altai chamber of commerce.

Even if it is placed in the imperial capital, it has a resounding name, and it is said that it is a huge chamber of commerce that has experienced more than 100 years of ups and downs, and both commoners and nobles respect this chamber of commerce.

"The customs duties here are calculated according to the previous standards for every merchant."

The middle-aged man made an unmistakable voice, the knights' expressions were a little surprised, and the civilian merchants were cheering with joy.

"Of course, I will make up for what they lack."

The knights breathed a sigh of relief from the middle-aged man's words, and the latter nodded in agreement.

The traffic jam returned to its usual order, and the carriages of the Chamber of Commerce seemed to move faster than before.

Leo and the mercenary also got into the carriage with the Chamber of Commerce, and sat on the hay in the car, and the civilians were all talking about the virtues of the middle-aged businessman.

However, Leo is thinking about the affairs of Taiyan City, and the formation of a new economy has advantages and disadvantages, and whether it will invite disaster.

"Mr. Leo, you have seen it too, the heroism of that adult."

The mercenary on the side, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly to Leo, and without waiting for Leo to answer, he continued.

"In the future, I will also become such a good businessman, with virtue and prestige!"

His voice was a little louder, and the civilians around him were stunned for a moment, and they all responded with good-natured laughter.

The warm sunlight shone through the cracks in the wooden planks outside the car and onto the hay, and the fresh smell spread with the light spots, and Leo's ears seemed to be ringing with the hum of Iros.

Forget it, before arriving at the imperial capital, you have to pass through a transfer city called "Strange Rock City".

Leo thought helplessly as he listened to the conversation of the crowd.
