Arriving in the town, Barrett discovers that the liveliest place in Padua is in the middle of the market.

You don't have to look for it, because a few hundred meters away, you can see a group of people watching the slaughter of wild beasts.

A long table into which two men are dumping sacks.

On the wooden platform behind him, a man with glasses was talking to the onlookers below.

"Anyone can exchange the beasts for money, and ten of their teeth can be exchanged for one silver coin, and each of their four claws can be exchanged for two silver coins."

As he spoke, he bent down and picked up a claw sleeve from the platform.

"One claw with a claw sleeve of this kind can get two additional silver coins!"

Barrett knew why Ranagi's companions in the morning were reluctant to give up on the leopard.

Twenty silver coins, how much they were worth, he had already seen.

A whole bag of potatoes in the market costs half a silver coin.

"I have." Since you've taken someone's errand, let's finish it.

Ten silver coins was not a small number, and Toulus was a little too generous.

The man behind the long table took the bag in his hand and poured it on top of the table.

A lot of teeth and claws rolled out.

"Oh! That's a lot! The man was surprised.

The man with the glasses also heard what his men were saying, and he walked to this side.

"What? This brother has a good harvest? He asked.

"Brother, what's your name?" He jumped off the wooden platform and walked across from Barrett and asked.

"Me? My name is Barrett. Barrett didn't feel like anyone knew the name, unless his name could travel through time.

"How many?" He asked the man who was counting.

"My name is Kama, and I'm the owner of the buying house!" After the man got the number, his eyes lit up and he introduced himself.

Nodding politely, Barrett looked at Cama.

While counting the money from the cloth bag, Kama said with a smile on her face, "I didn't expect you to be able to get so many by yourself, and today you are the largest." ”

"No, no, you're mistaken. It's not mine, I sent it in place of Toulus from Motomura. Barrett explained.

"I know." Kama looked at the markings on the cloth bag, of course he knew that the bag belonged to Motomura.

"However, Turus asked you to come here, didn't he just ask you to come to me to help?" Karma said with a smile on her face.

Barrett's eyes froze, he knew that he was being used by Turus, and the village chief was right, that guy sold himself.

Sending loot is nothing more than a cover, and deceiving himself is the purpose of Turus.

"Sorry! I have my own business and I can't help you. Barrett declined Kama's invitation.

“？” Cama's smile vanished, and he looked at Barrett with danger in his eyes.

"You're worried that I won't pay? I don't think there's any need to worry about that. Cama knew what Barrett meant, but he took the bend to get the conversation to money.

"My buying house is very large, and it has selling points in several surrounding villages and towns." Throwing a whole bag of silver coins on the long table, he advised.

"You know you're a warrior just by looking at your physique, and I won't treat you badly." Karma decided not to go around in circles.

"Let's be honest, my men have found the beast's lair in the mines to the south, and I need warriors to get there." That's why Kama really needs a fighter.

No, it is very much needed!

The reason why he would buy these beasts was because someone was paying a lot of money for them.

Two silver coins? The caravan from Casel offered a gold coin for the clawed beast, and although the rest could only be filled, it was definitely a profitable business.

Even if only a small half of them are clawed, Karma can make twice as much money, which is not a good thing every day.

As for the lair, there must have been quite a few battle beasts with claw sleeves there.

So much money was beckoning at him, and he fantasized more than once that the money bag in his hand was no longer silver coins, but heavy gold coins.

That guy from Turus is very shrewd, and the man he got here must be a good fighter.

So no matter what, he won't let Barrett take the money and leave, he must let him help him get more money back.

Barrett was silent, and although he didn't think that Lanaji would betray him, it seemed that Turus already knew about himself.

"Give me a reason." Barrett saw the greedy and dangerous light in Cama's eyes, and he knew that if he refused, then this guy would not give up.

Besides, he needs someone to provide information, and if he can exchange it for Karma's information, the deal is not a loss.

"Money! Don't you like money? Money can buy a lot of things, food, weapons, women, and even houses. As long as he didn't say no, then in Karma's opinion, the matter was basically done.

In fact, Kama's sentence "My buying house is very large, and the nearby villages and towns have selling points" was the reason why Barrett changed his mind.

This guy should be familiar with the neighborhood.

"Whose carriage is over there?" Barrett asked, pointing to the carriage that had arrived in town earlier than him.

Although Kama didn't know what the guy meant by asking, he pushed his glasses and replied, "Those guys are from the church, you'd better not provoke them." ”

Church? What teaches? Central Asia is Orthodox? Or Islam?

"The Miracle Cult is the guy who digs up the ruins." Karma whispered.

Barrett nodded, too, the ruins are at the junction of Central Asia and South Asia, so it is not incomprehensible that there are these people.

Sure enough, the previous religion is almost finished, and the new gods will come out to fool the people.

"I'm looking for Maqiao Town, do you know where it is?" Barrett asked.

Kama's eyes flickered under his glasses, and he said slowly, "Maqiao Town............ I know. But if you get it done for me, I'll tell you how to get there. ”

As a shrewd businessman, this guy immediately chose to trade.

Although Barrett didn't see sincerity in his eyes, this guy was, but he still chose to accept the deal.

After all, he doesn't have a clear destination now, and it's good to get some money.

"Okay, I'll help you." Barrett held out his left hand, but he continued, "I can't guarantee it." ”

Kama nodded and said, "That's natural, no one knows what's in it, as long as you go, even if you have a piece of money." ”

Stretching out his hand and holding it together, he pointed to a row of wooden houses not far from the market and said, "There's an inn over there, I'll have someone look for you when I leave." ”

Barrett took the money bag and nodded in agreement.

Leaving the market, Barrett walked into the tavern down the street.

Here is the agreed place of delivery for Toulus.

Sure enough, not long after he sat down, a guy with a cane in his hand leaned in.

"The money is right, you are very creditworthy." The man praised.

"It's a pity that your boss is not very trustworthy." Barrett said with a sneer on his face.

............The man shook his head regretfully, poked his head over and whispered, "You must know that in this world, many times you can't help yourself. ”

After speaking, he stood up and said to the bartender, "This gentleman's expenses are all on me." ”

Then left the bar.

Barrett was not polite, he asked for a large bottle of brewed wine, and ordered a pot of stew.

It didn't cost much, but Turus at least made a lot of money on him, and he just charged some interest.

Filling his stomach, Barrett walked along the market, he needed to buy something useful.

"How much?" Sun-dried strips of meat, this kind of thing can be left out for a long time, and it can quickly fill the stomach.

"A bag of two silver coins." The boss glanced at Barrett a few times and broke the price.

"Tell me the price." Barrett knew that his accent could be heard by a person, so the boss was moved.

"One and a half, no less."

Although it is still more expensive than the locals, Barrett is too lazy to care.

Pointing to the water bag made of animal skins next to him, he said, "Give me this, I want two bags." ”

The boss immediately nodded and promised, to be honest, a bag was at most a silver coin, and he was already earning in half.

The ten silver coins in his hand disappeared in half, and Barrett didn't feel any distress.

After all, the residence is also in charge of Kama, and he is too lazy to toss.

Lying on the bed, Barrett listened to the barking of dogs outside, thinking about what was next.

"Just by looking at Kama's expression, that guy doesn't know where Maqiao Town is." Barrett thought to himself.

Although Cama is very scheming for ordinary people, in Barrett's opinion, he is not qualified.

After all, Barrett has been dealing with some scheming guys, whether it's Buzz or Corson, or even Nopro is a master at this.

If Lily and Dina were together, then Dina would certainly not choose to stay away from home.

So how did he find out about Maqiao Town?

And how did he get there to bury something? Barrett was a little confused.

If Lily had died first, Dina's life would not have been so long, and it was all thanks to the power of time that Lily gave him.

It stands to reason that he won't live long, and he shouldn't be able to travel that far.

Unable to figure it out, Barrett sighed.

He didn't know anything, not even what it was, how far it was from the ruins.

To be honest, he didn't like this place at all.

Here, he didn't feel like he was coming home, and even everything here was so strange and even out of place.

The people here live in poverty, but they still can't get rid of the conflict between people, let alone a better system.

Here, there is only one reason that attracts him, the hint that the cat gives him.

and the little obsession that wants to see the last traces of my parents.

As for how to get out of here............

In fact, there is a very simple way, and that is to die......

Ever since he knew he wasn't really going to die, Barrett had a weird feeling.

It was as if he was caught in a strange hesitation, and he didn't want to die, because time would go back after he died.

Once he goes back in time, he doesn't know if he will be able to get this far.

Power and wealth are not important in his eyes, but he can't let go of those who miss him.

So unless he had to, he would never choose to go back to the time rift, that was his last resort.

Well, we'll just have to see what Karma knows.

Early the next morning, Kama came with someone.

"You went to the blacksmith to get a weapon yourself?" Of course, Kama knew that the warrior's weapons could not be sloppy, and he was counting on them to make money.

"Enough of your team?" Barrett was a little strange, as if he was roaring and ready to leave when he first arrived.

"Counting the four of you, I still have some subordinates." In Kama's opinion, four people are about the same, at least enough to explore the perimeter of the lair.

He didn't expect to be able to take care of all the beasts in the pit at once, after all, that kind of environment can't be done quickly.

"Got it." Barrett held out his hand.

He only had the few silver coins that Turus had given him yesterday, and it didn't seem to be enough.

Nodding, Kama pulled out a gold coin.

That's right, a gold coin, he can be regarded as a heavy bet.

Although he could see that the corners of his eyes were trembling with pain, Barrett took the gold coin.

"Prepare the torches and short stakes you need in the pit." The environment is similar to the previous tunnel warfare, and Barrett has a lot of experience.

It's just that there was lighting equipment directly in the past, and the support structure was also a hydraulic power assist system.

Now you have to make some preparations.

Nodding, Kama smiled: "Sure enough, it's an experienced fighter, it's good." ”

"I'll send someone to get it, and if it's okay, we'll leave before noon."

Barrett nodded and sent Karma away.

Tossing the gold coin in his hand, he wanted to laugh a little.

One gold coin is equivalent to a hundred silver coins, and Kama is bleeding.

It seems that this business has a lot of profits, and Kama is so concerned.

Who is in this business, and who is making these beasts?

Looking at the claw sleeve, Barrett knew it was not a wild product.

After saying hello and leaving the room, Barrett walked towards the market, where he was going to pick a handyman.

In the blacksmith shop, although the current society has regressed greatly, it is far from the time when there is no iron.

Crafted iron weapons are not expensive, and there are even weapons made of steel, but they are crude.

Indigenous steelmaking? It seems that literate people are not dead yet.

I chose a dagger about half a meter long----- uh, it's actually better to be a machete, but the current process can only be made into a large dagger.

"Seven silver coins." The blacksmith shop owner was very honest, and he asked for a fair price.

Perhaps because of his frequent dealings with outsiders, the blacksmith shop owner kindly reminded: "There is a gun buyer over there in the church, you should probably go there and have a look." ”

Gun? In fact, it is not unusual to have guns, after all, humanity has not perished, but he is a little curious about how these guys can still have usable bullets until now.

"Thank you." Barrett casually put down two silver coins, thanking his boss for the kind reminder.

Walking towards the church with a dagger with a wooden sheath, Barrett noticed the carriage again.

Miracles? Are they looking for an artifact? Or looking for technology?
