On the second day after Zhou Qingfeng returned, the son of the Lord of Cold Wind City, Marbury. His Excellency Longleg took a few of his men and drove from the stucco village to the harmony village. When he walked to the entrance of the village, he immediately experienced the difference of this village.

The village has only a simple wooden fence and is surrounded by several watchtowers. It's not so much to prevent foreign invasions as it is to defend against ordinary forest beasts - but now there is no one in the Black Forest who dares to attack Victor without long eyes. Hugo is gone.

There is a big sign at the entrance of the village, which does not have the name of the village written on it, but ...... 'Welcome distinguished guests, those who have money, please enter; Recruit down-and-out heroes, work without money'.

"Who wrote this ......?"

Most of the adventurers who came in and out were illiterate and had no sense of the joke. However, Marbury stared at the village sign for a long time, unable to figure out his current position.

Entering the village, the stone-paved avenue is smooth and comfortable. Although it is not as good as the stone road in Coldwind City, it is much better than the muddy road in the ordinary countryside. The village has four horizontal and four vertical streets, and in terms of population and size, it can be called a town.

The 'Old Bones' tavern is the most crowded, and a large number of adventurers gather here to discuss plans to make a fortune. Marbury didn't notice anything special about the tavern, but he saw a circle of people gathered around the notice board.

You don't have to squeeze in, you can tell what's going on by listening to the adventurers' discussions. When he learned that Zhou Qingfeng had actually disclosed the route to 'Silver Leaf City' and provided logistics services for outsiders who went on the expedition, Marbury sighed.

The king of the Black Forest is really unpredictable.

In the previous 'Silver Leaf City' expedition, the strength of Cold Wind City can be described as a big defeat. Lord of the city, Colenfell. The long leg was injured, the soul was badly damaged, and it was difficult to heal, and he couldn't afford to get sick when he returned to Coldwind City.

The lord of the castle has fallen, and the situation in the city of Coldwind has become obscure. As the son of the lord of the city, Marbury. Long legs are terrified. He knew very well that he did not have the ability and prestige of his father, and that all forces did not obey him at all.

The long-legged city lord occasionally sobered up, and would teach his son how to balance the various forces in the city, and rely on his savings for many years to temporarily heal internal conflicts. It's just that the problems inside the city are easy to solve, but the problems outside the city are difficult to solve.

The battle for kingship in the Northland is about to begin, and Coldwind City not only has no profit this time, but is bleeding profusely, and it is about to decay. In this crisis, something special must be found to maintain the family - such as enlisting a strong enough ally.

Father and son talk secretly all night and discover that their only option is the newly rising Victor in the Black Forest. Hugo. For no other reason, this guy is very rich. Judging from the various performances of exploring 'Silver Leaf City', this is not a good stubble.

Marbury is here to find out. It is said that this kind of thing is not the turn of a young master like him, and even he himself is very unconfident. But his father forced him over with a word - if you don't grow up now, you'll never have a chance.

If you look at it on the ground, you can find Victor. Hugo's way of ruling is completely different from that of the nobles of the Northlands. Others are desperately trying to gather their interests, but he keeps distributing them.

The Northland is barren and produces too little. If interests are not reined in, it will be difficult for the powerful to survive and they will fail in the competition. Ke Victor. Hugo's interests spread, and he quickly gathered a large group of people to work for him, making his power skyrocket.

"But Silver Leaf City is a city." Marbury was still thrilled as he thought back to what he had seen when he entered the dungeon. The city built by the elves for thousands of years is more than a hundred times larger than that of Cold Wind City. "Victor. Hugo was willing to let go. ”

"On the other hand, Victor. What if Hugo doesn't let go? He doesn't get much benefit on his own. Recruiting a large number of adventurers to make a fortune together is indeed a road to rapid rise. ”

Young Master Marbury thought about it and felt that he had seen through Victor. Hugo's thoughts. But he asked himself if he had to make the decision, ...... "If it were me, I really wouldn't have the courage to restrain the greed that is monopolized in my heart." ”

Across the street from the tavern is the weapons shop, and the arrows sold in bulk also attract Marbury's attention. He didn't know much about the arrows themselves, but he felt that the arrows sold in Harmony Village were of low price and good quality, and there were many people who bought them.

Marbury bought a pot of arrows and threw them to the guards who came with him. It's just that after inspecting each arrow, the guard took the eldest young master's hand and whispered in surprise: "Your Excellency, this arrow is too good, and the quantity sold is too much." ”

"What do you mean?" Marbury asked.

"The craftsmen of Coldwind City also produce arrows, which are a must-have for every adventurer when they go out. Hunting in the wild, a good pot of arrows can bring great benefits. For a selection of arrows like this, Coldwind City would require at least one silver coin, and it may not be possible to buy it. ”

Listening to the guard's explanation, Marbury frowned and asked, "Can't we make this kind of arrow?" ”

"I've never seen so many arrows look exactly the same. This is a lot more convenient for archers. The guards found that their young master still couldn't understand, so they simply concluded, "This arrow is better and cheaper, we should buy it in large quantities." ”

Marbury nodded silently, and then ran to the weapon store to ask if he could buy it in large quantities. The clerk couldn't answer the question, but instead sold him 'evil spirit oil'.

"What evil spirit oil?"

"There are too many monsters in the Black Forest, and the 'Blood Flow Canyon' is even more full of undead, and if you want to break into a new dungeon, the 'Evil Spirit Oil' is a must. As long as this potion is applied to the weapon, the damage to the undead is doubled in one day.

This is the latest alchemy product in our village, and the quantity is limited, so it should not be missed. In addition, we also offer a 'Paralyzing Elixir', which is also applied to weapons and is very effective against living creatures. Even if you deal with a bear goblin, you will die within ten breaths. ”

Marbury held a bottle of 'Evil Spirit Oil' in his left hand and a bottle of 'Paralyzing Elixir' in his right hand, and after hesitating for a while, he bought it. It's just that he felt strange in his heart, so he asked, "There are alchemists in your village?" ”

"Oh...... this is produced by the workshop of the village witch doctor, Old Borg. We, Chairman Hugo, have invested in capital to support small and medium-sized enterprises in terms of policy, and promote employment and innovative development. The clerk read a passage of eight shares, but whispered......

"Actually, after Master Justten came, the old Borg's medicine couldn't be sold. It and his gang also had to eat, so Chairman Hugo asked it to eliminate backward production capacity and transform into new product research.

Old Borg spent months and a lot of debts for this, and in the end, it was the help of Sister Kelly that succeeded in developing it. These two elixirs are their fruits, and they sell well. Adventurers who have used it say yes. ”

Marbury nodded subconsciously, the meaning of this can be understood, why are the words so awkward? He left the weapons shop, thinking that he had better stop wandering around and go straight to Victor. Hugo consulted maybe it would be better.

The clerk pointed the way to the government center, and said that Chairman Hugo should be inside. When Marbury arrived outside the government center, he heard someone standing on a staircase shouting......

"Team, team, open up the Black Forest, and fight the 'Valley of Blood'. If you form a team, you will send a pot of arrows, and if you have enough twenty people, you will set off. Hurry up and join now! ”
