Solam and the others were indeed a little tired, and they tossed around in the mine for a long time, and then hurried all night, and when they got home, they simply ate some lunch, and then fell asleep, and did not wake up until the next morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After breakfast in the morning, Mares took Fia and Soram out, and as for Sim, Mares let him move freely, after all, this guy is a big mouth, and if he doesn't go well, he will get into trouble, so it's better not to go with him.

Solam and Fia followed Mares directly to the business district, although Locke Town is in the border area, but it is rich in resources, there are many merchants who come here to buy ores and some specialties of the Silver Moon Forest, so the business here is quite developed, the business area is full of people, and there are many shops to solicit customers.

Walking through the business district, Solam's only feeling is one word, dirty. It's so dirty, sewage flows on both sides of the road, garbage is thrown everywhere, and sometimes you have to be careful not to step on some unknown objects.

Solam didn't feel much about the excitement here, after all, in the knowledge of his previous life, there were scenes that were more lively than this. He just can't stand the bad environment here.

This is not to blame Solam, after all, he doesn't know the level of city construction in this world city, which is actually very poor, and those larger cities are okay, not only do they have a relatively complete sewer system, but the city hall will also pay for it to maintain hygiene.

The rest of the place is the same as the towns in the Middle Ages, there is no sewer system at all, so it is generally dirty and messy. In fact, Locke Town is quite good, because the business is quite developed, and the city hall is financially rich, so the temple area and the rich area, the health of these areas is quite good, but when it comes to the commercial area and the civilian area, it is a bit miserable.

It's not that the city hall hasn't thought about tidying up the business district, but those merchants don't want to pay more taxes, so the city hall follows them, and the merchants with a little conscience will sweep the snow in front of their doors and clean up the garbage next to them. Those who are unscrupulous, then don't care at all, anyway, everyone is used to this kind of environment, as long as it is not too exaggerated, there is nothing unbearable.

Solam and the others were taken by Maris to the door of a small store, which looked like it had been cleaned up, or at least it looked clean, and the name of the store was also interesting, called "Straw Shoes and Riding Boots", which looked like they were buying shoes, and when they went in, they found that it was a grocery store, selling everything, and there was a sign at the door that said the price of buying various items.

"Uncle, isn't this Carl's shop? What are we doing here, not to find it... Looking for that or something? "Fia actually knows this shop, which is the shop of the merchant Carl they talked about before.

"Shhhh Mares looked around cautiously and whispered, after all, this thing is still relatively taboo.

Hearing Mares's words, Fia was so shocked that she couldn't even close her mouth, she had known Carl for a long time, she had always thought that Carl was an ordinary businessman, at most a profiteer. I didn't expect him to do this kind of business, and he hid it so well.

"Hey! Mares, why are you here today, aren't you on a mission? Just as Fia was shocked, a big fat man came out of it, saw Mares, and greeted him happily.

"You're really well-informed, you know what I'm going to do." Maris also said hello, looking very familiar, it was obvious that this fat man was Carl.

The fat man is a very interesting creature, generally there is no fat dun, the president of the fierce god is evil, most of the fat people are very close to the people, people look at it, there is a kind of "ah, this person will never get angry" feeling, people feel very good to get along. (The author is also a fat man)

I don't believe you look at the fat people around you, isn't that the case? The fat man in front of him is also, fat and dundun, like a Maitreya Buddha, and the smile on his face also has a special sense of joy, even if he knows that he is a profiteer, but he still can't help but believe him.

"We do business, intelligence is very important, but it seems that my news is lagging behind, and I didn't find out that you have returned, it seems that those rats are lazy again, hum." The rats are spies who specialize in gathering intelligence, usually idlers in civilian areas, and Karl complains before asking about Mares's intentions.

"Then what the hell are you looking for me? Are you going to sell me something? Or is it a gem yard like last time? ”

"No, I don't have that kind of gem, I got it all by luck, this time I don't sell things, I buy things."

"Then what do you want, let's see." Carl doesn't deal with Maris for a day or two, so it's casual.

"I don't put out what I want." Maris said meaningfully.

"Oh?" Karl was stunned, Mares hadn't been looking for him for that kind of business for a long time. "You want the ones you can't put up?"

"Hmm," Maris nodded.

Karl heard Mareth's affirmative answer, but he didn't move, instead looked at Soram and Fia, doing this kind of business for them, is to be careful, they won't do business with unfamiliar people, that would be too risky.

"Fia, you know, you should believe it, Soram is our new teammate, he saved our lives, and he absolutely believes it." Maris knew what Carl cared about, so she had to explain.

"Tsk." Karl smacked his lips and said a little embarrassed: "You don't follow the rules like this, you can only bring one green head at a time." ”

The so-called green head is a living person, a person who comes into contact with this kind of business for the first time. This is a black word, bringing a green head at a time, but also for safety, after all, there are more people, and the mouth will be mixed.

Although there is such a rule, Maris knows Carl too well, don't look at him as only opening such a small shop, but this guy knows a lot of big people in Rock Town, and he doesn't care about being found out at all. "Don't talk about these haves and don'ts, you still can't trust me? Besides, when did you care about this rule, I don't believe you would be afraid of it. ”

"Hehe, you don't understand this, since those people don't think they know that I'm doing this, then I have to keep a low profile, so as not to make it difficult for those people to do it, you say yes. Okay, that's you, our old friend for so many years, of course I'm going to give you this face, come with me. ”

Carl was not angry when he heard Mares ruthlessly demolishing himself, but smiled and called into the store by the way: "Little Richard, come out and see the store, I'll go out." ”

After saying that, they took Maris and walked towards the back door of the store, and Solam and they met a young man at the back door, about 15 or 6 years old, tall and fat, with a simple face, this is probably Charlie. However, it seemed that he was a little shy, and when they saw Solam, they just smiled and nodded, and then went to the front to see the store.

"Really, I won't say hello when I see people, so how can I do business in the future." When Carl saw Charlie's appearance, he complained a little hatefully.

"Humph! I think Charlie is very good like this, how honest. At least he won't become a profiteer like his father. "Maris is a little tired of Carl's complaints about Charlie." You are content, Charlie is such a good child, are you still wronged to be your son? ”

"Cut, what's the use of being honest, doing business, being honest is going to suffer." Although he was a little reluctant to admit defeat, the corners of Carl's mouth were obviously smiling when he said this. It turns out that this Charlie is Carl's son, but when it comes to it, they really look alike.

"Hmph, it's better to be honest, how good it is to do the right thing in the future, it's not that I said you, don't do this kind of business in the future, after all, there are few people who can end well in this business." The gray area is not so easy to mix up, and it is not clear that you can die at any time. Maris was also worried about Carl, so she gave her a few words of advice when she had the chance.

"I said, you always say a few words, I'm annoyed if you don't bother, you think I don't know the dangers of doing this, but if you don't do it, what do you want me to eat and drink?" It's obviously not the first time that Maris has said this to Carl, and it's annoying to Karl a little, but Karl also knows that Maris is for his own good, otherwise others will eat too much, and tell you this.

"You don't have to worry, I don't know what you're talking about. And even if you want to do the right thing, you have to have money, I can't do it for a few years, and when I have saved enough money, I will go back to my hometown. ”

Maris saw that his old friend still had this attitude, and he didn't speak.

Soram and Fia couldn't interject anymore, so the group fell silent after that.

After Carl led them through the back door, he entered a dark alley, and began to twist and turn, weaving through the alley. The alleys are dark and narrow, and in some places they are full of debris, and they are like a labyrinth, and if there is no one to guide them, you can get lost at any time.

In these alleys, Solam and they followed Carl for about ten minutes before stopping at the back door of a house, Carl first looked around, saw no one, and began to knock on the door, the rhythm of his knocking was very interesting, under rough listening, it seemed very messy, but if you listen carefully, you will find that the sound of his knocking is still a little regular, but ordinary people don't understand.

After knocking on the door, a small opening suddenly opened on the door, revealing a pair of eyes, looking at the people standing in front of the door, and then looking around, confirming that there was no problem, and then opening the door.

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged man who was almost 40 years old, and at first glance he was the kind of person who was very capable, his eyes were very sharp, and his face was guarded.

"Boss." The middle-aged man said hello to Carl, closed the door, and never spoke again.

"Hmm." Karl casually waved his hand, sat down on a chair, and then said to Mares, "You can say now what you are going to order." ”
