Chapter 174. Conflict!
In the barren wilderness, there was no sound except the occasional roar of wild beasts and the seemingly never-ending wind, and there was always a deathly silence over the whole wilderness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And in the vast world, a convoy of hundreds of people is slowly advancing on this wilderness.
"I see, I'll trouble you next."
Chopin listened to Rickon's somewhat embarrassed explanation, and nodded slowly.
"Is it paid...... After arriving in Baiyan City, he naturally would not treat the two of them badly. ”
His gaze slowly swept over Fili and Hardy, and Chopin frowned for a moment before speaking again.
"No, no, the blood crystal of that three-striped blood python has already been promised to us by Lord Rickon before, but we don't need to pay anything else."
After Fili finished speaking, she immediately looked at Chopin with some trepidation.
She knew that the young man in front of her, who looked no more than in his early twenties, was the true owner of the caravan.
And the blood crystal of a three-striped blood python can be sold for at least a dozen gold coins, and it is basically still priceless.
Even if they take another hundred trips, it's not worth the price.
"In that case, it's fine."
Chopin glanced at Firi with a smirk, then answered, and then went straight back to the carriage, regardless of the other party's reaction.
Being looked at by Chopin like this, Fili suddenly felt like being bitten by a poisonous snake, and her whole body trembled involuntarily, and when she reacted again, the figure of the other party had disappeared.
**********
This was Chopin's first visit to White Rock City, but when he saw the magnificent city wall that was more than ten meters high, he couldn't help but be shocked.
This era was not the era of advanced science and technology in which Chopin's later generations lived, and it was still quite difficult to build a city wall more than ten meters high, especially in the already resource-poor "chaotic city".
And if you want to build such a thick and magnificent city wall, I don't know how many lives will be filled in.
With "White Rock City" as the center, more than a dozen large and small towns and villages are dotted around like stars, which not only has the meaning of flattering, but also invisibly increases the control scope of "White Rock City".
Compared with those ancient cities on the "City of Chaos" that have a history of 100 years, the "White Rock City" in front of them is like a newborn baby, which has only been built for more than 40 years and has only gone through two city lords.
However, on the stretching city wall, there are traces of various pits, and some parts of the city wall are obviously brightly colored, obviously only a few years after construction.
It can be seen that this new "White Rock City" is not as calm as imagined.
When Chopin and his party arrived here, the setting sun was still dragging its last rays, and it seemed that it still refused to stay away from the land.
However, until this time, there are still people shuttling on this heavy city wall.
The cool wind blows, and the breath carries the smell of corruption in the wilderness, mixed with the vitality of the new city and the people.
And under the dark red city wall, which was several meters high, a dozen or so gatekeepers were collecting fees from passers-by to enter the city.
Most of the "scavengers" scolded and scolded, but they didn't dare to really do anything to these soldiers guarding the city, so they had to hand over the silver coins with a bitter face, but the pain on their faces was very obvious.
Chopin's group of hundreds of people entered the city naturally attracted the attention of many people, but after paying the fee of a gold coin, these soldiers defending the city did not embarrass them, just a few simple interrogations, and let them in.
It's just that what Chopin didn't expect was that when their group completely disappeared behind the city gate, the face of the captain of the soldiers guarding the city gate suddenly sank, and then he immediately called one of his soldiers and whispered a few words in the other party's ear.
After hearing this, the subordinate dared to say something, but when he saw that the captain's face sank, he immediately swallowed all the words in his mouth and obediently did what the other party ordered.
Chopin looked at the bustling crowd in front of him, and was also a little emotional for a while.
There is no such thing as order here, but there are certain rules; Here power is the basis for everything, but there is also an alternative kind of fairness.
Here, as long as you have talent, dare to fight, and add a little luck, you may not be able to break out of your own world.
This is the "City of Chaos"!
The existence of sin and lust, chaos and gore is intertwined in legends.
For those who are used to living in peace, it is hell, but for some, it is heaven!
"Thank you, but I'm afraid we're going to part ways."
Fili and Hardy looked at Chopin and Ricken in unison, and the gratitude in their eyes was naturally overflowing.
The value of the blood crystal of a three-striped blood python may not be too clear to the other party, but it is more or less sure that it can be guessed a little.
"The West End is the slum of White Rock City, which is also the most chaotic part of the city, while in the North End, most of the people who wander are "hunters" and "scavengers" like us, and the East End is where merchants like you and most of the shops are located, and as for the South District, where the people of status in the city live, the Lord's Mansion is in the most prosperous part of the South District. ”
Chopin nodded, and a group of hundreds of people wanted to go to the East End.
But before they could go far, Fili and Hardy were stopped, and then a strange voice floated out from behind them.
"Fili, Hardy, count the time, you two owe me the money you owe me."
As a somewhat thin figure suddenly stopped in front of the two of them, more than a dozen figures quickly diverted out from the crowd that was originally flowing around, surrounding the two of them.
"Karn, we'll pay you back, but it's not up yet."
Looking at the figures around him, Hardy's face was also instantly gloomy.
"Hmph, also, what are you going to pay back, your boss is still barely hanging a little life, just with the two of you, how much money can you get?"
Karn looked at the two of them, and the sarcasm on his face was undisguised.
"But...... If you sleep with me for a few nights, I can give you a few days of grace with that money, hehe......"
Looking at the pair of waves on the chest of the girl in front of him, Karn's eyes were undisguised, and he stretched his hands forward in a kneading motion, and at the same time let out a strange smile.
