Chapter 55, The City of Wild Demons
Killing Dog City, and Luo Tian saw the demon city before, it is like a dead giant tree tomb, not a trace of green can be seen, the dead tree has become a gathering place for wild demons, if you insist on saying that the style is similar, the Nanling Black Forest in the world is somewhat similar to here.
A huge barrier was set up in the destruction forest around Killing Dog City, and there were constantly wild demon patrols shuttling back and forth in the forest, and a huge stone monument was erected on the main road of Killing Dog City, and a huge wooden door opened outward, and dozens of demon guards stood at the door.
"I went to investigate, and it seems that I only need to pay some fees to enter the city, and there is no strict checking. Hong Shuangren walked back after probing ahead.
"Alright, let's go into the city, and then find a way to find the thief who stole the gem. β
Contrary to Luo Tian's expectations, such a wild demon was established, and the Dog Killing City, which was regarded as an enemy by the Kanu clan, actually needed to queue up to enter the city, and in addition to the rebels in the demon clan and the demon clan fugitives who committed major crimes, there were actually many individual customers and merchants of the Triple Heaven, and the black market here seemed to be extremely developed, and many things that were forbidden to be bought and sold privately in other places were traded here in a grand manner, so there were also many Triple Heaven hunter buyers and powerful people who came here to consume.
In fact, this is also one of the important reasons for the existence of the wild demon city, not only the dog killing city, the number of wild demons in the triple heaven is huge, and there is more than one city, and these demon clans who are just and fighting against the heavenly demon mountain are living better and better, it is because of the existence of the black market, a large amount of gray money flows into the pocket of the wild demon through the black market, and with money, there is naturally a way to survive.
The wild demon at the door had the same tattoo symbol tattooed on its face, it looked like it should be the same tattoo symbol on the wild demon in Killing Dog City, it glanced at Luo Tian and said: "Pay money, pay ten taels for those who enter the city to sell things, pay twenty taels for those who enter the city to buy things, and take one percent tax for whatever you sell, and pay a tax of almost two percent of the value of the commodity for whatever you buy, you know?"
"So expensive?" Zhu Hua was a little surprised, the price was a bit outrageous.
"Hehe, if you can't pay it, don't come to do business if you can't pay it, if you come for sightseeing, I'll let you in, and you won't charge anything, but if you are caught not paying but doing business in the city, what will happen to you just look at the city gate." The demon at the door reached out and pointed overhead.
Zhu Hua looked up, but saw a row of human heads hanging above the huge wooden door, there were people of all races, several of them looked very rotten, and a few of them looked like they had just hung up.
"See, these people are in the city, and there are spies, and of course there are those who are not willing to pay taxes, and if you want to be like them, we don't care about how many heads we have. β
Zhu Hua felt that this guy was talking a little arrogantly, and the fire in his heart was about to flare up, Luo Tian on the side shook his head at him and took out thirty taels of silver and entered the city.
After entering the city, the three of them first found a tavern that seemed to have a lot of people and sat down, Hong Shuangren knew some demon languages after all, and ran out to inquire about the news at this moment, and after waiting for a long time, he ran back, followed by a demon clan who looked like a monkey, and when he saw Luo Tian, he immediately bowed and smiled.
"Who is this demon clan?" Luo Tian asked.
"Its name is Hou Guan, it is a black monkey into a spirit, although the Tao is still shallow, but it is just a human spirit in this dog killing city, I brought it here because it has a lot of information about the dog killing city, which is very useful to us, but the information of this guy is not a bargain, we have to pay. Hong Shuangren said.
"How much?" asked Luo Tian.
"Hehe, Uncle Terran, there is not much information in the essence, and useful information is naturally not cheap, it depends on whether you think it is worth it. Hou Guan leaned over and said with a grin.
"Oh, do you know everything?" asked Zhu Hua on the side.
Hou Guan scratched his ears and cheeks and laughed: "I can't say that I know all of the ten things in this dog killing city, but I know at least eight things, especially the hook in the black market, you invite me to invite the right person, as long as you give the money, I promise not to disappoint you." β
Luo Tian nodded and said, "I'm looking for a very valuable gem." β
Hou Guan said with a smile: "Uncle, you don't have to hide it, the more specific you say, the more I can help you find information, there are a lot of thieves in this dog killing city, and there are dozens of gems circulating in the black market every day, if you don't say anything, I can't help you." β
Luo Tian immediately said: "I'm looking for a gem that Bai Han Kanu lost, the gem that was originally set in the center of the back of her mirror, it's specific enough." β
Hou Guan was stunned for a moment, then looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, are you doing things for the Kanu tribe?"
"Sort of, what's the matter? You don't dare to help me?" Luo Tian asked.
Hou Guan smiled and said: "It's not, it's just that the Kanu people are not welcome here, so I have to make sure of this, and then act more carefully, you first find a place to live, and I will give you news in two days, but you have to prepare silver taels, this information is not cheap." β
"How will I inform you where I live?" asked Luo Tian.
Hou Guan said with a smile: "Haha, if I can't even find out where you live, then you better not buy information from me, and in two days, I will come to see you." β
After saying that, the monkey cub suddenly jumped into the crowd, and disappeared without a trace.
Luo Tian they found an inconspicuous small inn nearby to live, the boss looks quite a philistine, the price of the room is also very high, but the wine of this inn is good, the business is average, at night Luo Tian stands on the trunk outside the inn and overlooks the entire dog killing city, you can see that the black city in the distance is still brightly lit, and you can also see a variety of flower shops and gambling houses are thriving.
The boss of the philistine came over and said, "It wasn't like this when it was called Earth Dog City before. β
"Are you an old resident here?" asked Luo Tian.
"Sort of, I'm now more than six hundred years old, not the longest-lived demon clan but also old and immortal, the earth dog city was occupied by the wild demon when I was a child and changed to the dog killing city, the earth dog city when I was a child was very beautiful, from the distant hillside will flow down a huge river, the river will emit a beautiful light like the Milky Way at night, the banks are full of beautiful flowers and plants, and there are many rare but non-lethal spirit beasts wandering on both sides of the river, people used to love to come to the earth dog city to play, said that this is a romantic place, and later it became a dog killing cityWhen the wild demon just captured this place, he went door to door to arrest people, and when he caught someone, he asked if he was dissatisfied, whether he would be a spy, whether he was willing to be loyal to the wild demon, and if he answered wrong or hesitated, he would be killed, and everyone on the street was in danger at that time, hey" The boss said with a wine glass looking into the distance.
"I think the current Dog Killing City is very prosperous. Luo Tian answered.
"That's because Lord Kanro came, the wild demons who used to occupy this place were all rabble, and they were no different from robbers and bandits, at that time, everyone was waiting for death every day, and they felt that they were almost finished, but I didn't expect that Lord Kanro came later, and his men and horses defeated the wild demon army that originally occupied here, and then took over the Killing Dog City, announcing that this is the city controlled by his wild demon army, and made a series of decrees, and anyone who violated the laws and regulations will be severely punished, so the Killing Dog City was stabilized, and gradually developed, with today's momentumγ The boss said.
Luo Tian was interested in this Kanluo and asked, "Who is this Kanluo?"
"He is very mysterious, there are not many people who know his details, and everyone does not dare to investigate Lord Kanro, in short, he is now the city lord of Killing Dog City, and the leader of the strongest legion here, it is said that he is a very powerful big man, even the Kanu clan is very jealous of him, and even the northern tribes dare not touch him, so Killing Dog City is so prosperous. β
A hero in troubled times, a demon clan outlier who can confront the powerful Heavenly Demon Mountain, Luo Tianxin said: If you have the opportunity to meet this Kanluo, I only hope that he is not the leader of the second Sea Dragon Regiment.
The two-day deadline was up, and in the evening of the next day, Hou Guan smiled and stepped into the inn where Luo Tian and they were staying.
