"Huh?" Yanel's hand that was wiping his face suddenly stopped, "Loan shark, brother, are you okay? Tight on money? Tell me, I'll give you a turnover! What kind of loan shark to borrow!" But now give him 10,000 guts, and he doesn't dare to introduce them.

Bello is the one who is favored by the "Burning Mountain Brothers". I don't know what the "Lieshan Brothers" will have in mind. There are Lieshan Brotherhood staring at it, and borrowing usury will be many hands out of thin air. Yanel threw the broken towel in his hand on the clothesline and turned to Belo and asked, "How much money are you missing, I'll see if I can get it for you first, if you can't get it, we're thinking about going to a loan shark." Brother, I can't watch you jump into the fire pit. "In fact, if it weren't for the importance that the Flame Mountain Brotherhood would have attached to Bello, he, as a brother, would be the one who wanted to push Belo into the fire pit the most.

"One hundred gold coins!" Belo was not polite to Yanel, and spoke directly, he had already thought about it, fifty gold coins would definitely not be enough. Now that his work at Lucbeck's workshop has been largely suspended, even if he can cure the curse, he will not return to work as a dismantling worker.

Fifty gold coins are used as funds to heal the curse, and the other fifty gold coins are your own start-up capital.

"One hundred gold coins!" Arnell had a toothache, which was not a large amount he could deal with. A skilled worker's salary for the whole year is two gold coins, and a hundred gold coins is fifty years' salary. These fifty years of wages also had to be without eating, drinking, or buying anything to save a hundred gold coins. In fact, a worker, in his lifetime, may not even have twenty gold coins in savings.

Seeing Yanel's entangled look, Belo said, "Let's introduce me to a loan shark!"

"Brother, what are you doing here, with so much money?" said Arnell, cautiously probing.

"Heal!" Bello replied.

"Oh, that's right!" said Arnell, nodding his head with his explosive hair. The blades of grass in my hair were not cleaned. "Okay, you wait, let's go at once. ”

Yanel didn't know where to get the comb, and carefully combed his hair until it felt almost there, and pulled his clothes again. Wave your hand to Bello and say, "Go!"

As soon as he closed the door, he didn't care about the two people in the house, and walked in front with his head held high. He had already made up his mind to make even the loan shark boss reject Bello. The Flame Mountain Brotherhood is watching. Let a sleeping dog lie. As for the treatment, I don't know who I am treating the disease, and if I can't get the money, I will die of illness? Every year Belparo does not die of disease. He felt that Belo was definitely not treating himself, Bello's health was very good, although he had lost a little weight.

Most of the money the kid borrowed was probably for Otto, Yanel thought.

The place where the loan sharks of Belparo lived was near the street of the commercial bazaar. There is a casino here, and there is a lot of traffic every day. A lot of people do service business here. The usury merchants were part of it, and there were a few taverns, a few restaurants and inns, a few small shops, and a few peddlers selling snacks and food. Even many wandering warblers stop here for a long time to scratch their heads and make gestures.

Across the street is the Adventurers' Union, which is not very lively, but there are many people coming and going every day. These people who beg for a living like to gamble the most, like to indulge in life, and also like to buy advanced weapons and equipment.

So there's another very well-known place on this street: the Technicians' Guild. The Society sells a large number of weapons, some of which are the Association's own business and some of which are commissioned by the Makers.

There are generally two kinds of people who stay in the Technician Guild, one is the adventurer, and these people have been exploring the Mirror District for a long time. Good weapons and equipment are basically a second life for these people. Therefore, most adventurers come to the Technician Guild to repair as soon as they have a harvest. Crafters and forges are stationed here all year round to help adventurers solve their problems.

Passing by the Technician Guild, Yanel introduced the palatial building to Belo in detail.

"Now, there is definitely a group of people inside, and the annual harvest god sacrifice is about to begin. The Technician Association re-examines qualifications at this time of year. Those who do not have sufficient qualifications are deprived of their rights. ”

"What rights are you deprived of?" Bello asked.

"Most of the rights of the Technician Association will be deprived! For example, the right of first refusal, those who have the right of first refusal can buy the products of the Technician Association first, whether it is raw materials or finished products. There is also the right to discount, the right to buy things within the Technician Association, which allows these families to save a lot of money every year. Speaking of Yanel, he sighed with some emotion, "Those loan sharks have forced others to death, and their reputation is not good, and the money they make is far worse than that of the Technician Association." ”

Bello was a little speechless, of course it was far behind, a super trust that controls raw materials, sales channels, and customer markets, and it's strange if it doesn't make money!

He glanced at the Technician Association twice, and found that there seemed to be a familiar figure inside, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The figure only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared through the door in a blink of an eye, and Belo didn't know if he was dazzled.

There were very few Belo from this street, and the two continued to walk, and Yanel continued to refer: "Then, from this side of the road, turn a corner and you'll be the Adventurers' Union!

As a small gang of local hooligans, Yanel is very afraid of these adventurers, and he is a small snake like him, and he does not dare to provoke the strong dragon from the adventurer's union.

"These adventurers, don't look at all of them with a poor and sour look, maybe there is a billionaire in them!" Yanel introduced: "These people are not simple, go to the mirror area to explore resources, but they can't just be seen by the eyes, mineral resources, you have to be proficient in ores to distinguish, plant medicinal materials, you need to understand plants, otherwise you don't understand in front of you." Having said that, there are not many such talents, who can be proficient in ore discrimination, proficient in plant discrimination, who will give you an inverted mirror area adventure? Most of these adventurers ran to the mirror area to besiege and kill wild beasts and tricky beasts. Most of them are a bunch of stupid coarse!" There was a tone in Yanel's words that he couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour, and the sour was scary.

Beast materials, mineral materials are indispensable raw materials in industrial production. Bello suddenly thought of a very serious question. Recalling his memories since he was a child, he found an extremely surprising question, and after repeatedly confirming that his memory did not exist, he asked: "Have you ever seen a black stone that can burn, or a black liquid that is very viscous, exudes a pungent odor, and can easily ignite fire!"

Yanel turned his head to look Belo up and down, like a fool, and looked at Bello's hair, before he spoke: "You shouldn't be stupid, right? Or do you want to be like those crazy adventurers, a mineral to come out and deceive people to exploit it?" I advise you not to fight such an idea. The Adventurer's Guild has a standard verification process, and if you want to imagine out of thin air that a mineral comes out to deceive people, you will die a miserable death! You say that if stone and water can burn, someone must believe it, this lie is so stupid that no one can deceive it. You don't have that talent, brother. ”

Bello did not correct Yanel's misunderstanding, but his heart turned up a monstrous wave, there was no oil, no coal. The two most important resources for industrialization are not available in this world!

It is important to know that coal resources and oil resources have been detected on the earth for a long time, and there are relevant records as early as the feudal dynasty, before the development of chemistry to a certain extent, the role of oil and coal was limited and there was no large-scale use. But 3,000 years ago, coal was recorded and used. The level of social composition of this world is already somewhat close to the level on the eve of the industrial revolution. The density of the handicraft industry is highly developed, and the role of machinery is greatly enhanced. At this time, there were no coal resources, no oil resources.

Is there still a level of development in the world's industry? Or is the world's highest level of industry the current level?

Without coal, the appearance of the steam engine would be more difficult, and without oil, the internal combustion engine would be gone. What resources does the world rely on to complete industrialization? Probably gone, right?

The two walked to the front of the loan shark's shop, which was a richly decorated shop with no sign at the door. After entering the door, there is a hall with wooden floors, and in the center is a service desk, with guest sofas and small tables on both sides.

Yanel asked Bello to sit on the sofa first, he didn't know what to say to the service desk, and after a while, a middle-aged man wearing a black vest, white shirt, black leather shoes, tie, and neat hair appeared in front of the two.

"Sit!" the middle-aged man took out the humidor, opened it, and motioned to Belo and Yanel. Bello raised his hand in refusal, and Yanel unceremoniously took one, picked up the cigar scissors and cut it, and smoked it as soon as he lit it. The middle-aged man also took one and lit it.

"I heard that you want to borrow, just look for us, we promise to say as much as you want to customers, and there will never be a black-hearted price increase. In the same way, we will also write the contract in the loan contract, and if you breach the contract then the contract will be followed. Fair and just, Tong Su is not bullied!" The middle-aged man held a cigar between his two fingers and introduced Bello seriously. Secretly just now, the middle-aged man had already received Yanel's explanation, and he knew that he would definitely not dare to provoke the matter of the Burning Mountain Brotherhood, but he still introduced it very seriously. No one dares to say that when they don't deal with each other in the future, they won't?

After talking for a while, the middle-aged man was almost introduced, and opened his mouth to ask, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"One hundred gold talers!" Belo said without hesitation. "I can mortgage the house and myself!"

"Sorry IMHO, I don't think you can pay it back, your house is not worth much, even if you yourself go to night school and can read, but you are not worth the price. The middle-aged man refused Bello's loan without hesitation: "We will give you ten gold talers at most! I don't think anyone else but us would dare to lend you more than eight gold tales. You think about it!" He was telling the truth, even if Yanel hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have given Bello so much loan, it wasn't worth it! How could a poor worker repay the money? It wasn't worth taking his life!

"No thanks!" Bello was extremely disappointed in his heart, the ideal and the display were too far apart.

Some things are like this, you think you've taken out your most precious thing, but others think you're worthless. Feelings have always been subjective.
