Chapter 27: Maple Leaf City
After buying the dry food, Rekov looked at the big bag of dry food and was speechless for a while. "It seems that it is still too troublesome on land, and you have to carry all the supplies yourself, unlike at sea, just put it on the boat." Rykef muttered quietly, but he didn't expect to be heard by the old man just now, he smiled, and said, "Little brother, you are really not a local, and you don't even know a special product of our country." Rekoff turned his head to look at him, "Oh, what specialty?" "It's kind of acquiescing to the fact that I'm a foreigner.
"Hehe, it's that bastard king, the storage item made with his own ability, if it's not too expensive, it's really a good thing. At the same time, because it is too expensive, not many people buy it, so except for a few people, people who are not locals basically don't know about this thing. The old man suddenly leaned over and whispered. Oh, I didn't expect that bastard to make such a good thing. How many Baileys a one? Rekoff said in a tone of utter disdain. Hey, little brother, be quiet! Don't be heard by the lackeys! The old man hurriedly came over and tried to cover Rykef's mouth, but was dodged by Rykef, who knows if the old man in front of him has malicious intent.
When the old man saw that no one around him noticed them, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Little brother, that bastard has raised a group of lackeys to spy on the people, and it will be miserable if they hear anyone speak ill of Gustav!" "Hmph, don't you know that 'the mouth of the people is more important than the mouth of the people', what an idiot!" Rekov sneered, glanced at the old man again, and then said, "What are you afraid of, as long as they dare to come, I will dare to let them come and not return!" β
The old man was not easy to answer, but he labeled the young man in front of him as arrogant in his heart. "Ah, by the way, you asked me about storage before, didn't you? We don't have that kind of thing in a small city like ours, and the nearest place is Maple Leaf City, 10 kilometers ahead, where you can buy it. Of course, if you want the best, you still have to go to the royal capital of Gustav. It took a while for the old man to say something. Hmph, that bastard also changed Wang Du to his own name? Sure enough, an idiot! Ah, by the way, I haven't asked for your name yet, that's a bit rude! My name is Rickoff Donald. That's when Lakeff reacted. Ah, it's okay, it's okay, old man, my name is Hopkin, don't look at me old, in fact, I'm only 47 years old. Hearing this, the corners of Rykef's mouth twitched.
Saying goodbye to Hopkin, Lakeff headed straight for Maple Leaf City. Don't think too much, Maple Leaf City is just a must-go place, and Rykefu won't buy storage items, since he decided to make a big fuss, grab a few when the time comes.

Maple Leaf City, famous for its maple trees, used to be a tourist attraction, but after Gustavus came to power, the price of all goods in Maple Leaf City was greatly increased, and all of them were 5~6 times the price of other places. He also transported all the maple trees together, built a 10-meter-high fence, and if you want to join in the maple tree viewing, it costs 10 million Bailey to enter, and you must come out within 2 hours, except for some big nobles, no one comes at all, and the income brought by these big nobles goes into Gustav's pocket. As a result, the tourism industry in Maple Leaf City is declining so much that not many people know about this place anymore.
That's what Granny Golala told Rykef about Maple Leaf City. After half a day of traveling, Rykefu finally arrived at Maple Leaf City before dark. Looking at Maple Leaf City in front of him, Rykefu squinted his eyes, only to see that where Maple Leaf City came into view, it was in tatters, and many houses were about to collapse. Other areas can at least do some small business to maintain their lives, but Maple Leaf City is different, so the prices have increased so much, no one will buy this thing at all, and these do not dare to return to normal prices, otherwise they will be 'taught' by Gustav's lackeys to 'teach a lesson' very badly.
