Lancer, the town on the edge of the Rand Kingdom and next to the Dark Forest, is a small but mixed town.

The town's resident population may be less than a thousand, but the variety of outsiders often gathers in the thousands.

There is no way, who let this Lancer town be the closest to the Dark Forest, and it is also the only place to go to the Dark Forest in the Rand Kingdom. And the vast majority of these outsiders are mercenaries, hunters, and merchants......

Only a small number of the mercenaries who came here were hired by the caravans that came here, and most of them wanted to venture into the dark forest and try their luck. For example, see if you can collect some of the more precious herbs, or see a few rare wood trees that have been bountied for purchase...... Of course, occasionally, they will also play the role of hunters, slaughtering some not-so-tricky monsters and getting them out for money...... In short, the edge of the Dark Forest is an ideal treasure hunt for most mercenaries.

And the vast majority of hunters here, this doesn't mean those full-time Warcraft hunters, most of the hunters here are ordinary hunters who are physically strong, or only have one or two levels of fighting energy. They make money by rounding up low-level demonic beasts that have no grade, or only level 1, in the outermost area of the Dark Forest.

And the most valuable thing on these low-grade demonic beasts is not their lowest-grade garbage demon core, which they may or may not have, but the flesh and blood of this demonic beast in their own body. The flesh and blood of these demonic beasts not only taste very good, but they are also rich in energy. Even ordinary people eat it, it has a very good effect of nourishing the body and enhancing the body. Therefore, the flesh and blood on these wild low-level demonic beasts were highly sought-after goods that merchants wantonly bought.

Since there are wild ones, there are naturally domestic ones. After thousands of years of development, in this human world, a large number of low-grade demonic beasts have been domesticated and cultivated by humans, providing humans with a large amount of meat resources. Of course, these domesticated monsters are not as valuable as the wild ones.

Even some big forces or the upper echelons of the country directly hire middle and high-level Warcraft hunters to capture some higher-level Warcraft for domestication, which can not only provide their fighters with battle-specific Warcraft mounts, but also provide some masters under their command with very good Warcraft partners......

As for the foreign merchants in this small town of Lancer, their purpose is even more complicated. There are those who come here to sell their daily goods; There are also those who specialize in purchasing all kinds of magical beast materials, precious herbs or precious wood; There are also weapons and armor for the mercenaries and hunters here; Of course, there are also all kinds of businessmen who provide professional services, such as those that meet certain physiological needs...... Ahem, you know!

In short, these outsiders are not only numerous and diverse, but also have different purposes, but they are also related and intersecting with each other. In this small town, the number of immigrants has exceeded the local population by several times. Originally, a few years ago, the town of Lancer was just a small low-class village covering an area of less than ten miles. But now, it has become a medium-sized town that covers an area of no less than 100 miles. If this trend continues, it is estimated that it will not take a few years, and it is also very likely to become a large town.

However, the town of Lancer is a direct town of the Rand Kingdom, and no nobleman can get a share of the territory where this town is located. Because it is so prosperous here, the daily trading volume alone has reached tens of thousands of gold coins, and if you can get the right to collect taxes in this town, it means that you will have at least thousands of gold coins of income every day. This made the nobles in the kingdom blush.

It's just that no one is eligible for the division of this territory except the king, because once you get this territory, you will be beaten by all the nobles of the kingdom who are red-eyed!

But it must be noted that the extraordinary prosperity of the small town of Lancer has only happened in the past two years. Previously, although Lancer Town was still adjacent to the Dark Forest, there were really few people in the Rand Kingdom who dared to fight the idea of this Dark Forest. Because this entire Dark Forest belongs to the powerful Dark Empire.

When the previous Dark Empire was still extremely powerful, this entire Dark Forest was the territory of the Dark Empire. And those powerful Dark Shamans and Dark Knights often haunt this Dark Forest. In this case, this dark forest has become a forbidden place for others, and no one dares to enter this dark forest to seek death. The venerable Dark Shamans and the brutal Dark Knights will not reason with you, and will destroy you if they do.

But in the past few years, the Dark Empire has shown a declining momentum under the vigorous suppression of the Church of Light.

According to many well-informed merchants in the Rand Kingdom, this dark empire and the Church of Light had several major wars in quick succession a few years ago. Although the specific situation of the war is not very clear, after those major wars, the power of the Dark Empire has shrunk sharply, and its national strength has obviously shrunk a lot. There is almost no trace of the Dark Shaman and the Dark Knights in the Dark Forest.

But it wasn't until two years ago that some of the daring mercenaries in the Rand Kingdom dared to really step into this dark forest to take risks. Then, more and more people began to converge on this small town of Lancer......

Now, Ali followed Rags, Andari, Lord Rimbaud and her two guards to escort Young Master Rogge, who seemed to be in a deep coma, into the town of Lancer.

After Han Feng's temporary success, Rogge's little fat man has always maintained this state of deep coma, his breathing is weak and even, and his heartbeat is slow and steady...... Actually, this is also impossible.

On the one hand, although Han Feng had wiped out Rogge's subjective consciousness, seized control of the soul body, and successfully occupied the soul space, the soul energy that he had exhausted could not be replenished for a while. Without the support of sufficient soul energy, the soul can only be in a dormant state.

On the other hand, maintaining this deep coma also has a delaying effect on the poisonous injuries suffered by Rogge's body.

Although the clever Ali didn't quite understand the current situation of Lord Han Feng, he was very confident in the mysterious Lord Han Feng, and he could vaguely guess the meaning of this method used by Lord Han Feng.

Seeing that Rogge's situation had stabilized, Ali took the opportunity to tell Rags and Andari that this was due to his wizard soul bones temporarily restraining the undead breath in Rogge's toxin, but if he wanted to completely remove this toxin, he had to go to the town to find the real antidote.

Of course, this is just a delaying tactic for Ali in a hurry. Of course, he himself didn't know how to get rid of this toxin, but he could only hope that Lord Han Feng would have a better solution after he completely controlled this Roge's body and woke up.

It's just that before leaving, Ali, who was extremely sensitive, clearly caught the strange and complicated eyes that the little county lord of Rimbaud glanced at Young Master Rogge before leaving, which seemed to have a trace of panic, a trace of fear, and a trace of disgust...... There is also a bit of resentment.

Such a ** year-old, innocent-looking, pretty and cute little girl can throw out such a look? At that moment, Ali began to wonder if this was his own delusion.

Nowadays, the town of Lancer is indeed very prosperous, and the two avenues that cross and run through the town are densely packed with people. The avenue is lined with dense rows of shops, and in between, there are several tall and ornate mansions with a distinctly extraordinary bearing. Ali knew at a glance that these luxurious mansions, which were more than ten feet high, were either the residences of those nobles, or the location of those famous big guilds or chambers of commerce.

For example, the Mercenary Guild and the Hunter Guild, which have power throughout the entire human world, and the Mage Guild, which has declined a lot but still has great influence, and so on. Or some transnational chambers of commerce with terrifying power.

In addition to these extraordinarily ornate mansions, other large and small shops are also neat and atmospheric, and the various goods displayed in those stores are dazzling and have everything. Ali was a little dizzying.

It's just that the crowds on this avenue are too dense. Most of them were stout mercenaries dressed in all sorts of strange costumes with a bit of a fierce air, and some hunters who were simply dressed but neatly behaved and hurried.

The difference between mercenaries and hunters is almost immediately apparent:

Most of the mercenaries walked the avenue casually and presumptuously, talking loudly and laughing wildly, so that almost the entire avenue was filled with their rough shouts and wild laughter.

And most of the hunters were visibly restrained. Their faces were solemn and their demeanor was cautious, and although their steps were hurried, they tried to avoid others. It's just that the eagerness and a bit of anticipation in their eyes are also clearly revealed. Even if there is an occasional conversation, they try to get close to each other's side and whisper in a whisper.

In this crowd, you can occasionally see a few nobles who are very richly dressed, surrounded by a group of guards and servants, walking slowly, occasionally glancing at the shops next to them.

Looking at this qiē, Ali felt very interesting. After all, he entered the Dark Forest with his grandfather at the age of ten, and then lived there alone for three years. This kind of prosperity in the human world naturally has a strong attraction for a half-grown child like Ali.

Ali's tattered leather armor naturally attracted everyone's strange eyes, but since he was following behind Rags and Andari and others, he looked like a slave to the people in front of him, which naturally made everyone who noticed him feel relieved: maybe this was a newly bought slave who had just been bought by the guards in front of him, who were obviously nobles.

It's just that Ali is not the only one who is curious and interesting about the lively avenue scene, and the little white fox who has been hiding in his arms can't help but poke his head out at this time. The little head swayed curiously from side to side, and a pair of small mung bean-like eyes kept spinning.
