Su Wen didn't know much about the goblin race, only that they had appeared since the explosion of the species two thousand years ago, and his impression of this creature was also stuck in the treacherous and dwarf thief eyebrows, and it was extremely unreliable. Seeing is believing, and although Su Wen was annoyed by the frequent advertising brainwashing in the province of Atalam, he understood that in order to achieve this level, he needed a large amount of gold coins, and the ability to earn a lot of gold coins—this kind of thing was not something that a brainless and mercenary profiteer could do, and that kind of inferior businessman might be able to make a small profit by speculating, but it was almost impossible to make a big business.www.biquge.info

Lotteries, insurance, loan sharks...... These three words representing huge profits and high risks were not unfamiliar to Su Wen, because this thing was also in his own world, but it was the first time Su Wen had heard it in the Brilliant Continent. There may be similar industries in other places, but most of them operate underground, which is not too big a climate, and after all, it is a gray industry, so naturally it will not be blatant enough to advertise. Therefore, Su Wen was really a little worried about this group of bold goblins, but at least so far they were alive and well, which means that they didn't know how much tax they paid, so that the Duolun Empire actually acquiesced to the existence of this kind of industry.

Su Wen was not very interested in this, anyway, he would definitely not touch the above three, but the name of the Woking Chamber of Commerce successfully aroused his interest. For he suddenly remembered that the long-barreled musket that the cowboys had sold him when he first entered the Northern Wastelands was produced by the Goblin Guild in the Iron Furnace Province.

It seems that this chamber of commerce may be famous?

Su Wen made up his mind at the moment to devote a large part of his attention to this so-called Woking Chamber of Commerce, perhaps he could get a lot of useful information because of it.

However, before entering the Iron Furnace Province, Su Wen discovered a big problem.

In the Duolun Empire, there were no strict boundaries between the provinces, and it was common to pass through one village and town to enter another, but this rule did not seem to apply to the Iron Furnace Province on the northern border. In the border town of Eremo in the province of Atalan, Suwen saw barbed wire and checkpoints similar to the border, and the only junction to the northeast of the province of Iron Furnace was guarded by a large number of soldiers, most of whom were human soldiers on the Suwen side, and the other side farther away was almost entirely goblins in leather armor and armed with scimitars and other alien soldiers.

It's almost like two countries!

As one of the many gateways to the province of the Iron Furnace, Erimo is naturally a major trading town. It was full of the standard Northland rugged style, and the lively streets were filled with foreign caravans, and a large number of horse-drawn wagons lined up along the road to and from the borders of the Iron Furnace Province. However, if Su Wen didn't know that the Great Plains in front of him was his destination, Iron Furnace Province, he might have thought that this was the border town of the Duolun Empire, and on the other side of that road was a country made up of aliens.

It's incredible!

Before this, Su Wen had never expected that he would see such a scene. He thought that the Iron Furnace Province was a hodgepodge city with a large number of dwarves and goblins living together, maybe there would be many villages in this land composed of only these two alien races, but after all, it was still dominated by humans, but judging from the scene seen so far, of course there would be no shortage of humans in the Iron Furnace Province, as long as you look at the number of merchants and tourists on the road, you can know, but the dominance of this province seems to be in the hands of alien races such as goblins?

Or is it that the Duolun Empire can tolerate aliens being the masters of their own land?

Su Wen suddenly had an urge not to enter the water, after all, he was only here to get information and try to make a little money by the way, and he didn't have any strength and hard background as a battle, and if he really wanted to show his strength, he still had to wait until he entered St. Peter's College to make a big difference. But since you have come to the gate of the Iron Furnace Province, and seeing the endless stream of merchants and travelers here, the plain ahead should not be a dire place, at least you don't have to worry too much about not being able to get out if you go in......

But even so, Su Wen, who had originally planned to drive straight in, finally gave up his plan to enter the Iron Furnace Province immediately, and decided to stop for the time being in the extremely lively town of Erimo.

The gap between the Iron Furnace Province and his imagination was too great, and he planned to wait until he had figured out all the relevant historical origins and information before considering what he should do next.

As caravans are rushing for their last trip to winter, the town of Erimo is almost at its peak during this season. After driving two kilometers away from the main road leading to the Iron Furnace Province, Su Wen found that the mercenary guild here was even larger than that of Tridis, and the mercenaries and foreign customers almost crowded the open-air guild hall. Perhaps infected by the practices of the goblins, the mercenaries and mercenary groups here have actually learned to use advertising signs to solicit business for themselves, and various slogans such as "Seven Days and Six Nights in the Iron Furnace Castle", "Safe and Worry-free Exploration of the Ancient Ruins of the Pan Mountains", "Members of the Wizards' Guild are in charge, great value for money" and other slogans made Su Wen feel that he had come to the wrong place.

It took Su Wen two hours to find a suitable place to stay near the Mercenary Guild, where there were many hotels, but most of them were full.

"A double room, preferably with two beds. ”

Su Wen was not particularly surprised when he found a beautiful half-elf waiter standing in front of the counter of this hotel, although the half-elves as a human slave race would hardly show their heads easily, but there were always a few who would also be assigned to work. What really made Su Wen feel strange was that he had been in the Brilliant Continent for half a year, and he had not seen any male half-elves, it was said that this creature did not exist at all, and all those who could be called half-elves were females.

The half-elf waiter flipped through the check-in manual in his hand, and then said to Su Wen apologetically, "The double room with two beds has been filled. ”

"Forget it, a double bed will do. ”

Su Wen himself didn't care, he was mainly worried that Laetitia wouldn't sleep well. It's not once or twice that I've encountered this situation along the way, but I always feel that it's weird when Lydocia sleeps in the same bed with herself, and although I can't say what is strange, the quality of sleep is definitely worse than separating two beds.

I guess it's because I haven't been able to maintain the habit of sleeping?

didn't run away, Su Wen felt that she should educate her, why could she ensure this good habit when she shared a bed with that Xiwena who was not very good at brain, but when it was her turn, she would treat her differently, which was not good.

But after all, the matter was important, Su Wen couldn't wait to figure out everything about the Iron Furnace Province, and it was not too late to think about these details later. After telling Laetitia not to go out, and after someone forced her way in and waited with a pistol and a grenade, he left the hotel and returned to the crowded mercenary guild, squeezing through the crowd into the hall.

In the Duolun Empire, if you want to understand a place, whether it is the topography, cultural customs, or trends in all aspects, the mercenary union is definitely the best choice, of course, the premise is to have enough observation. As the place with the highest concentration of floating population in almost every town, there are countless things that can be seen here, such as from the types and types of mercenary missions, Su Wen knows that the tourism from Eremo Town to Ironforge is very prosperous, and there are no too dangerous areas within a radius of 200 kilometers; from the various hand-drawn maps sold in the store, Su Wen can even see slightly larger stones on the outskirts of several towns in the vicinity of Ironforge Province; from the number and characteristics of mercenaries and customers, Su Wen found that most of the customers here are from other provinces, including nobles and wealthy merchants, and the mercenaries almost do not have to live a life of licking blood-- Of course, the pressure of competition is particularly high, Su Wen can be sure of that.

After half an hour, if Su Wen just wanted to observe the basic situation of the Iron Furnace Province, then the information he had collected was more than enough, but he felt the abnormality of this province...... Or after saying that it is wonderful, Su Wen is not satisfied with this. And a lot of in-depth information may be able to be concluded by way of observation, but the time and effort required is beyond his means, so that he has to think of other methods - intelligence merchants.

This kind of unseemly profession is probably an open secret in the mercenary union, mainly used to trick those who are stupid and have a lot of money, and to provide the information needed for customers who really need information. Since what Su Wen needed was information that was difficult to draw conclusions on the surface and would not be mentioned in the history books, it was indeed the way to seek the help of an intelligence merchant, but the water in this line was very deep, and if it wasn't for his intuition telling him that the Iron Furnace Province was of great significance to his future planning, Su Wen would not have chosen this path anyway.

It is not easy for people who have no channels to find reliable intelligence merchants in unfamiliar cities, although they will get 100% results if they look directly in the shop of the mercenary union, but they will basically be slaughtered. Fortunately, the information that Su Wen needed was not a secret, not even scarce information, he just wanted to have an intuitive understanding of the history and current situation of the Iron Forge Fort, this kind of thing that all intelligence merchants could provide, naturally it was not a strange thing to live in and sit on the ground.

However, when Su Wen, who was wearing a hood, was recommended to a dark basement after ten minutes, he suddenly felt a sense of something wrong.

Within the mercenary union, whoever dares to play yin is simply dying, so this breath does not represent a hidden danger, but a smell with a faint sense of familiarity that makes Su Wen uncomfortable.

And when he turned the corner of the cloister and entered the room that was peculiar to intelligence merchants, which was densely packed with documents, the aura of something wrong exploded.

"me!"

Su Wen finally couldn't hold back, ripped off the hood on his head, and cursed.

"Donald, you're ghosted!"
