Chapter 265: Enter Sand Town
Qiao Ru'an and his party walked into Shazhen, which was no longer as dilapidated as outside the town, but it was not comfortable, and there was a faint smell of murder.
As the most marginal town, outlaws and mercenary groups will always be indispensable. The town has grown bigger and bigger because of their existence, and it is said that it is a town but it is about the size of a county.
Qiao Ruan frowned and looked at both sides of the street, and most of the people he saw along the way were mercenary groups and prostitutes. As soon as you enter the main street, the sound of prostitutes soliciting fills your eardrums, and the streets are full of prostitutes soliciting customers and rough men coming and going in brothels. Those men either have a fleshy face or a full body of anger or a scarred face. Looking all the way, there are few relatively clean or upright people.
She looked at Xuanyi: "Xuanyi, why are there so many prostitutes in this town?"
Xuanyi: "The desert we are about to go to is also called the 'Desert of Death', and it is very difficult to survive on the edge of the desert. But anyone who dared to come to such a harsh desert was an outlaw or a mercenary, and no matter what was going on, it was not a good business, so the brothel business became booming, and the number of prostitutes increased. The prostitutes in Sand Town, who are inexpensive and pick up customers day and night, are also a major feature of Sand Town. ”
"What about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation?"
"Water is scarce and food is scarce. Not only is water expensive, but everything else is expensive. As for the clothing for a living, the inns where I stayed and the camels that traveled were quite adequate. ”
Qiao Ru'an looked at the brothel that occupied half the street with pity, and sighed silently. In this world, there are really all kinds of lives.
"Let's go, let's find an inn to stay in first. ”
The group walked to an inn that looked relatively clean and spacious, and stopped. As soon as the shopkeeper at the door saw the visitor, he immediately greeted Qiao Ru'an and his party diligently and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel or stay in the hotel?" When recruiting them, the shopkeeper also glanced at a few more people, intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes stayed on Qiao Ru'an's mother and son for the longest time.
Qiao Ru'an frowned slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of playfulness.
The group walked into the inn, which was almost full, with only two or three tables and chairs left. At this time, there were many people sitting in the hall who were having dinner, and the sound of discussion in the lobby came to my ears from time to time.
"Stayed in the hotel and gave us three upper rooms. Xuan Yi pointed to an empty table by the door, "By the way, prepare some food for us downstairs." ”
"Okay, guest officer, please come with me!"
Qiao Ru'an and his party sat around the table by the door, looking at the dishes on the table, and they all silently bowed their heads and ate some meaningfully. Several people pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the discussions of the people around them.
"Today another group of people went into the desert looking for the keel. ”
"Don't talk about today, there have been people looking for it these days. I don't know how many waves of people have entered. ”
"Brother, are you going to try your luck tomorrow?"
"Don't say it, your brother is really ready to move now. In other words, there are not so many magical beasts around that dragon bone. There are so many people who have gone in, and it is estimated that the people in front of them have almost solved those magical beasts. ”
"Hey, dude, I think the same thing. Otherwise, tomorrow we will go in with two teams of people, so that everyone can take care of each other, right? ”
Xuan Yi gently patted the two brothers who were chatting energetically, handed out some spirit jade, stood beside the two with a smile and asked, "Hi, brother." It's the first time we've been to this sand town, and we've just heard from you about any magical beasts?"
The two stared at a few pieces of fine spirit jade on the table, and then glanced at Xuanyi a few times, and the person who always called himself an elder brother before was the first to smile: "Brother, I see that you have just arrived." There are Warcraft, and there are many of them, and most of them are high-level Warcraft. ”
Xuan Yi looked at the two of them in surprise, and asked quietly: "High-level demonic beasts? Those demonic beasts are also looking for dragon bones? Could it be that the dragon bones are not only useful for people, but also for demonic beasts?"
"Hey, man, you don't understand this. The dragon bones, although they have little effect on the monsters, but the bone marrow has a great effect on them. Those monsters are all looking for bone marrow. It's a pity that the big dragon fell in that area, whether it is bone marrow or keel, you can only find it in that area. ”
Xuanyi: "Then how many people have entered the desert now?"
"This" The two of them, who were still chatting energetically just now, seemed to know everything and said everything, and they stopped their mouths tacitly, and their eyes swept to the spirit jade on the table intentionally or unintentionally.
Xuan Yi immediately took out some spirit jade and put it in the hands of the two of them: "Come on, come on, I'll invite a few brothers to drink"
"Ha, it's easy to say, brother is refreshing!"
"In the past three days, there have been no less than twenty mercenary groups in total, and there are five large mercenary groups. Since yesterday, some family children have entered, and five or six family children have also entered. ”
Xuan Yi thoughtfully swept around the inn: "I don't know, how many mercenaries and family disciples have come to Shazhen today?" After speaking, he consciously handed out a few pieces of spirit jade.
Qiao Ye looked at Xuanyi's heartless handing out the spiritual jade from a distance, and his heart twitched fiercely: "Xuanyi, how can you be such a loser!"
Helian Hao touched his son's little head and said with a faint smile: "Son, everything here is expensive, just the dish in front of you is ten spirit jade." ”
"What?!" Qiao Ye was startled, just these few green vegetables, why don't you rob them? Lingyu, it's not gold, it's not silver!!
"Son, don't forget that this is a desert, and these things are expensive. Didn't you notice that there is no tea here when tea was given free of charge in the past?"
Helian Hao didn't say that Qiao Ye hadn't noticed it yet, but if you look closely, there really is no tea!
"The tea here is a pot of gold for a hundred taels. ”
Qiao Ye stared at his big eyes and was speechless: ""
Thinking about what his mother had said about survival in the desert before, Qiao Ye blurted out and asked, "Then what's the cheapest here?"
Xuan Yi just came back from inquiring about the news, and when he heard the words, he immediately explained to the little master: "The prostitution fee is the cheapest." ”
Fiercely sandwiched a large handful of green vegetables and put it in his mouth, eating something completely tasteless just now, Qiao Ye suddenly felt extremely delicious.
Qiao Ru'an doted on his son to add a few slightly better dishes: "Eat slowly." Isn't it necessary to spend money to make money? "She's a money-obsessed son, but now she's getting more and more picky. I don't know whose character I picked up. She and his father don't seem to be very picky people.
Qiao Ye gave her mother a fierce look: "Mother, do you think everyone is like you, and there is a mobile treasure house?" Hmph, if it weren't for the mother's mother and Xiao Qi, the mother would definitely be better than him.
