It took four days for Ian and the others to walk through the black pine forest and meet the town of Vic on the other side of the woodland. The appearance of this small town on the border of the Eastern Regions www.biquge.info officially announced the end of their savage life, and then there will be areas of human activity along the way, and there will be no more deep mountains and old forests that can only be crossed for days.

The size of the town is small, but the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs. A commercial street runs through the town, from the sign posted at the entrance of the street to the various shops and workshops on both sides of the street, plus three taverns and inns for tourists to eat and stay.

And of course, the premise of "having everything" is that you have to have money!

So, Ian, do they have any money?

As a squad where most of their assets have been "burned" and there is still a long journey to travel, unless they hunt all the way in the wilderness for a living, or carry a noble knight lady to do some "robbing the rich and helping the poor", the hundred or so "emperor's heads" in their hands are really not enough to support the four of them to complete the journey.

In fact, even in an inn in such a small town, the average price for a night's stay is about a dozen to twenty copper coins, and at the current rate of one silver coin to sixteen copper coins in the current empire, it will cost at least two silver coins to book two rooms, not counting the cost of food and the various necessities that need to be purchased during the journey. Not to mention that the cost of the big city you pass through will only be several times greater than the cost in this town.

A huge financial crisis is hanging over the head, but even in the face of such a bad financial situation, our Mr. Harris has not changed his "extravagant" lifestyle.

On the first day he arrived in the town, he ignored Ian's hints in his eyes and took a few people to stay in the best hotel in the town, and booked the best two rooms in the hotel. Later, he not only dragged a few people to buy a few decent clothes, but also asked the innkeeper to prepare a whole table of food that night, and popped out a silver "head" during the meal, which made the hotel attendant who received the tip show a more attentive smile.

In Ian's secretly rolled eyes, he found a very legitimate reason for these arrogant behaviors, and in the face of this reason, Ian felt that he had nothing to say at all, and had to "heartily" admit the "correctness" of this middle-aged gentleman.

Here's what he said at the time-

"As a man, how can you let the ladies of your fellow travelers suffer even the slightest 'grievance' when you have a choice?"

This sentence greatly changed the impression of the middle-aged gentleman of the two ladies, and also let Ian know that they would have a very "comfortable" journey before reaching the Holy White City, and that the wallets around their waists would dry up at an incredible rate before reaching the Holy White City.

In fact, when Harris claimed to stay in the town for a few days to buy the necessary supplies and wagons to get along the way, Ian already knew that if they didn't do something about it in the past few days, they would be destitute when they got out of the town......

And sure enough, the next morning, in order to continue to "enrich" in front of the two ladies, Harris, who was purchasing the necessary items, pulled Ian in hand, and mysteriously began to plan their urgent plan to accumulate money......

......

"Tell me. Walking on the main street of the town, Ian threw out the money bag in his hand, squinted his eyes and asked, "Mr. Harris, the 'richest man in the empire', how are you going to end up?"

He learned from the casual chat with the middle-aged man last night that the sum of the money of the two of them was not enough to live in the so-called "sweet dreamland" for one night, because it was the largest gold cave in the imperial capital of Arig, and the reason why this bastard said that at that time was completely just to slap his swollen face and become fat in front of the two ladies, and the other one, as his copy, was naturally "comprehended".

"Don't worry, boy. A middle-aged man who was obviously a "beggar" but wanted to pretend to be a "king" took the money bag with a smile, pretended to be a passerby, and said: "There is pressure to be motivated." ”

"You must know that there are many beautiful things that are unique to the Eastern Regions along the way, and it would be too derelict to be a male companion if you walked with two elegant ladies and did not take them to those places to enjoy them. ”

"Don't forget. Ian glanced at him angrily, and reminded him meaningfully, "The two of them were born in the Eastern Regions. ”

"Just because they're born in the Eastern Regions doesn't mean they're familiar with the food and beauty of some parts of the region. What's more—" Harris narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly, "For you, if you haven't been to those places, you've been to the Eastern Regions for nothing. ”

To be honest, this sentence can't help but make Ian overlap his image with some unscrupulous tour guides in his previous life. Because before they deceived the travelers, what they said the most was: if you don't do anything, then you are equivalent to a trip to XXX for nothing.

For him, that was too impressive......

Of course, Harris didn't know what Ian was thinking, because he was excitedly pulling the other man to stand in front of the sign at the entrance to the street.

He had noticed the existence of this wooden sign since he entered the town, and many towns or villages would have a similar sign at the entrance, and the townspeople would write down their unsolvable problems on a piece of paper and nail it to it.

If other people in the town or outsiders feel they can complete the task, they will follow the information on the notice and find the person who asks for help to negotiate with them. And when the two parties agree on the payment, they will solve the problem for them.

Many unruly mercenaries or bounty hunters actually rely on this wooden card to make a living, because most of the tasks on it are not too difficult, usually some small things like finding people and objects, driving away wild beasts, etc., and occasionally there may be some more dangerous commissions, such as the one that Harris has his eye on - killing the monsters that infest the farm.

The mission's client, a farmer, claimed that his farm on the outskirts of the town had been trampled by an unknown beast in recent days, and that he had lost two of his own lambs. One night he secretly hid in the grass and tried to kill the beast, but what he didn't want to set foot on his farm seemed to be not an ordinary beast at all, but a demonized beast.
