Chapter 105: Changes in the Post-Era (I)
The small town of the Blue Mountains, a frontier town of the Pulitzer Principality. It borders each other with the Herocimen Empire and the Principality of Hakbeshan, and belongs to the real three-regardless zone.
The town is quite bustling and even more chaotic. From the bottomless abyss in the east, the screams that never stopped, you know that this is not a good place for peace and tranquility.
However, chaos does not mean that there is no prosperity, special geographical advantages, and chaotic management systems. It is precisely this place that has become the most important material trade area between the three countries.
Every day, there is a lot of traffic, shuttling like weaving, people coming and going, noisy and disturbing.
The Blue Mountains town isn't too big, but the roads are unusually wide. Even in the capital of the principality, there are very few roads that can accommodate four carriages side by side, and the roads here are usually twice as wide and narrow, and the main road of the town is a place where dragons can run in groups.
The streets are lined with rows of shops, and the men are not working hard in the early morning sun, while wiping and cleaning, and the passers-by who spare no effort to introduce their special products to the small streets. Every few steps away there is a snack stall with all kinds of snacks and everything you need for breakfast.
Whether it is a pedestrian or a businessman living in the place, most of them can't take a step when they smell the aroma of various snacks in the air, go in and pick up, sit down and enjoy it. A scene of boisterous noise.
Dongmen Street was bustling with people, rubbing shoulders with each other, and suddenly the crowd flashed to both sides, making way for the middle road, and giving way to a box car pulled by a fire dragon.
The car was followed by two neat rows of guards, all with stern expressions, cold eyes, and blue and white outfits, which made people unconsciously shut up and retreat.
"What is this for? So many people. At the food stall, a man with a bowl of porridge in his hand and snoring and drinking asked.
The sweaty food stall owner laughed and stirred the porridge on the magic stove vigorously to heat it more evenly. "You don't even recognize this? Looks like your first visit to our town, right? ”
The big man exclaimed, "How do you know? I've just been here for two days, and I've pulled a cart of small things from China, ready to come over and sell them for a good price. ”
"No wonder!" The stall owner shook his head and said, "The most people are going to kill people and grab land!" ”
"Murder?" The big man's mouth opened wide.
"What's this?" The stall owner smiled: "This place is not as good as China." Three regardless of the area, as long as you dare to attack, then you can kill. But this also has to kill someone, and the outsiders who have nothing to rely on will be killed if they are killed. When the corpse is thrown into the abyss to the east, no one can take care of it. If you move the gang members, you have to be more careful afterwards, so as to be careful of being taken off your head by the revenge. ”
"Good boy!" The big man scratched his head and said, "I just heard that there was chaos here, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Isn't there anyone in charge? ”
"Who cares? Who cares? The stall owner wiped his hands on his apron and leaned against the door to take out a box of cigarettes from his pocket. I put one in my mouth, and I didn't see him make a fire, but I just wiped it lightly with my finger on the cigarette butt, and a wisp of green smoke slowly rose.
The stall owner took a deep breath, and a sneering smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "But the terrain here is special, although it belongs to the border area of the Three Kingdoms, but the terrain is too high to be a battlefield." The only use is to be an underground trading venue. So that those aristocratic businessmen can put aside their usual sanctimony and do these smuggling and profiteering businesses that they keep opposing. Such a special location, naturally, the more chaotic the better. How could anyone care? ”
The big man was dumbfounded and said, "Boss, you know a lot!" ”
"Hey!" The stall owner waved his hand: "What is this, I don't know how many runaway ministers and rebels here, and they shout so much every day that my ears are about to become calloused." Naturally, I know a little bit. ”
"Then ...... here," the big man pointed to the bustling street, his face a little confused.
"You're wondering why the streets are so bustling when it's so chaotic?" The stall owner shook his head and said, "Naturally, someone has made a rule." Did you see those people just now? ”
"The ones you said were grabbing the land?"
"Hmm!" The stall owner talked excitedly, simply handed over the work of cooking porridge to a guy behind him, sat down and said: "Then as long as people can grab the land, it is a chamber of commerce!" In the future, you will be qualified to make big deals. And all the chambers of commerce in our Blue Mountain Town must have the strength commensurate with the business qualifications. He is in charge of the three largest chambers of commerce in the town of Blue Mountains, and it is said that each family has 2,000 elite soldiers under his command. ”
"Two thousand elite soldiers?!" Dahan's face changed.
The stall owner looked left and right, leaned over, and lowered his voice: "I heard that once Pulitzer was jealous of the wealth like flowing water here, and he photographed 5,000 soldiers dressed up in disguise to rob the town. Who knew that he would be killed by the three major chambers of commerce, and all the corpses would be thrown into the abyss in the east. ”
"Five thousand slaughtered?" The big man's eyes widened.
The stall owner shook his head and said, "In my opinion, although not all of them may be slaughtered, there is not much left." Every time, the three major chambers of commerce join forces to collect the corpse python, and I don't know how many carts they get into the abyss, isn't it just to clean up the corpses? ”
"Uh-huh!" Dahan nodded, and suddenly asked: "Since the three major chambers of commerce are so powerful, why do they still allow these small chambers of commerce to run rampant on the streets and grab land everywhere?" ”
The stall owner sneered, shook his head and said, "At first glance, you are not a big deal, what else is there to think about at this point?" The three major chambers of commerce are specialized in big business, although some small businesses are not spared. But there are so many businesses in the world, even if he has more people. I can't do it all! Allowing the small chamber of commerce under his command to grow can not only supplement the commercial prosperity of the entire border town, what a good choice! ”
"So......" Dahan nodded a little understandingly: "In fact, the three major chambers of commerce don't care which of the small chambers of commerce below is, as long as they are honest and obedient?" ”
The stall owner looked at the big man with teachable eyes: "So, if you have a little ability to organize a group of people, you want to grab a place and make a big deal." Fight and kill ...... every day," said the stall owner, shaking his head.
Dahan hurriedly asked: "It's so messy, aren't you afraid of being injured by mistake?" ”
"Not usually," the stall owner shook his head, "they are all business people, and very few people are innocent." Besides......" The stall owner looked back at a few of his men, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I'm not a vegetarian either." ”
"Yes, yes!" The big man was startled and nodded again and again, avoiding the stall owner's gaze. I made up my mind that I would leave after disposing of the truckload and never come to this terrible place again.

Inside the fire dragon car, Cao Hong sat quietly in the back seat. The bustling streets outside are noisy, but they are almost inaudible inside, and the soundproofing is very good.
The decoration of the model is very luxurious, if it is not for a big fire dragon in front, it is reminding everyone that this is an animal-powered car, and almost thinking that he is sitting in the first-class carriage of a luxury bullet train.
It has been more than a week since he came to this world of the brave and the demon king, and Cao Hong has just been able to figure out the changes in the world of the brave and the demon king.
I recall the expression of the client, Bunker, who swore that the world was "full of war, and the people are struggling to make a living", and then think about the peaceful and prosperous scene seen on the way from the imperial capital to the border town. Cao Hong couldn't help but want to scold: Nima! You dead otaku haven't been out in hundreds of years?!
The Demon King and her Dragon Army have been fighting for more than thirty years, during which time they have gone through civil wars, national divisions, Warcraft uprisings, alliance northern expeditions, and the second revolution in magic technology. Therefore, Cao Hong's first reaction to this world was "Are you sure this is the magical world of the brave and the demon king?" ”
High-rise buildings are numerous, business is prosperous, traffic is busy, people are in a hurry, suits and leather shoes are holding telephones in their hands, and they are talking loudly about how much business is and how much money. The people's life is rich, and the level of food and clothing is infinitely close to that of New York in the 21st century. Occasionally, a group of girls pass in front of them, and they are also full of benefits with beautiful legs and crisp breasts.
If it weren't for the fact that the vehicles on the road were all kinds of monsters dragging them, if it weren't for the strange monsters of the pets you walking on the humanoid road, if it weren't for the fact that there were no planes in the sky, but huge big birds grabbing hanging baskets and flying by, Cao Hong wouldn't have believed that this would be a different world at all.
stayed for a long time, and was stuffed with a leaflet in her hand by a passing propaganda girl.
Cao Hong subconsciously glanced at it.
Good news! Good news! Valman City celebrates today's anniversary, all goods are 50% off, and magic appliances only need 3% off. You don't need three or four thousand, you don't need one or two thousand. Just 998! It took 998! Take home a magic appliance set!
Cao Hong was speechless for a moment, this strong sense of déjà vu smashed the spit energy that was about to come out.
After the sample pictures of the promotional goods behind, I walked to this city along the street signs, and walked up and down.
Cao Hong can finally be sure that the civilian life in this world is no different from that on earth. Their second revolution in magical technology seems to be the electrical revolution on Earth.
The only difference may be that there are no power plants in this world. Because, almost everyone will have more or less magical energy in their body, and they have their own electricity, and they don't need a power plant at all.
After walking around the imperial capital for two days, Cao Hong finally decided that if he wanted to be a big demon king in such a prosperous and stable empire, he basically couldn't think of any other result than death.
The truth is the same as in the modern world, if you want to be a big demon king in the United States in the 21st century, even if you want to be able to defy the sky. It is estimated that it will be a tragic end in the end.
The Americans themselves cite several examples of this, what Doctor Octopus, Dark Spider-Man, level clown or something, at most a level criminal!
It's not a little bit harder!
With a long sigh, Cao Hong decided to start with studying! If you want to destroy the enemy, understanding the enemy is the first step!
