Chapter Eighty-Three: There Are No Ten Copper Coins
"What's going on, what are you doing in a mess, hurry up, close the city gate in a moment" A voice sounded from behind the guards. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Then the owner of the voice stepped out from behind the guard, this person was the white-robed orc who had been sitting at the table, and Ruya's sharp eyes saw that this person also had a milky white round medal on his chest that was exactly the same as the old patriarch's.
"What's going on"
The white-robed orc's gaze lingered on Ruya for a moment, then at the guard in charge of checking the fees.
"My lord, these three people didn't have the money to enter the city, saying that their money bags were stolen, and the people behind them were impatient to wait, so they made a statement," the guard bowed respectfully to the white-robed orc and explained.
Hearing this, the white-robed orc turned his head to look at the three of Lu Ya, glanced at the long strip of cloth that the nephew and Xiong Daxiong were carrying, and then asked out loud.
"You're not from Boulder City, are you?"
"This lord, we are not from Boulder City, we are from the Blackstone tribe, and just now my companion's money bag was stolen by a few children, so there is no money to enter the city. ”
Lu Ya arched his hand at the white-robed orc, explaining word by word.
"Oh, Blackstone Tribe, forget it, then what are you going to do, you can't enter the city without money" This person should not have any impression of the Blackstone Tribe, and he didn't think it was a big tribe, so he didn't say more.
"I don't know, is there any other way to enter the city than to give money directly?"
"If you are a descendant of a large tribe, you can naturally be exempted from the entrance fee, but I want you...
When Lu Ya heard him say about the big tribe, you suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then he took out the sign that Curry gave him from his arms, and this brand has been placed on what Lu Ya has been on.
"Huh~ This is the identity card of the Stone Tower Tribe, it seems to be true, this brand is..." The white-robed orc asked with some uncertainty after taking the sign handed over by Lu Ya, because he knew that the owner of this identity card should still have a relatively high status in his tribe, and the Stone Tower tribe is also a relatively famous large tribe in Boulder City, so the possibility of this brand being picked up is basically ruled out.
"It was Uncle Curry who gave me this brand" Lu Ya saw that there was a play, and quickly explained.
"This, in that case, you can enter the city with me to register, follow me" The white-robed orc led Lu Ya and the three to the table, and after a brief registration, he signaled Lu Ya that they could enter the city.
"You're a priest," Ruya asked, the white-robed orc who was still writing with his head down.
"Well, how," he replied, looking up.
"I'm about to become a priest, and I'm here to test it, I wonder if you can tell me where to register."
"Oh~ Why didn't you tell me just now, just now you cast a random sacrificial spell and I can let you enter the city, why bother with so much trouble. ”
As soon as they heard that Ruya was also a priest, the white-robed orcs obviously became a lot more enthusiastic.
Lu Yaxin said, I just can't reveal the secret that I can summon arms if I don't enter the city, so he just smiled and didn't interject.
"When you enter the city, follow this road until you go to the inner wall, turn right, then go to the end, and then turn left, and you will see a large square, and in the center of the square there is a tall tower, which is the Priest's Tower. However, if you want to test it, I'm afraid you'll have to wait 4 days."
"Why?" said Ruya.
"Because there are very few priests who are usually registered to test, it has long been stipulated that the priest tower will be opened every 5 days for testing, but unfortunately the priest tower was just opened once yesterday, so you have to wait another four days before you can test"
After bidding farewell to this 'colleague', the three of Lu Ya finally entered Boulder City.
The age of the construction of the megalith city has long been undeniable, and the entire city is built into a square by a circle of boulders, and each wall is about four or five kilometers long.
The origin of this city is indeed a matter of opinion, anyway, since there is everything to say, there is nothing to refer to, and Lu Ya doesn't care about these things at all now, he is more concerned about how to solve the problem of eating and sleeping for the three of them now.
Yes, although Lu Ya and Xiong Daxiong finally entered the city as they wished, they were now penniless and could only squat on the side of a relatively wide road and watch the pedestrians passing in a daze.
The prosperity and huge reputation of Boulder City is well deserved, Lu Ya looked at the pedestrians passing by, they were not only dressed more gorgeously, but also gave Lu Ya a sense of superiority in temperament and form, these pedestrians are not only orcs, but also a small number of humans are mixed in, whether it is orcs or humans, there is no surprise or concern for each other, obviously the inclusiveness of Boulder City is still good, but the careful Lu Ya can still detect a little difference.
Through the subconscious dodging actions inadvertently revealed by those orcs and the unscrupulous eyes of humans, it can still be seen that the status of humans here is much higher than that of orcs.
In fact, this is only in the city of the orcs, if it is in the city of the human kingdom, this status gap can no longer be expressed by a sense of superiority, the status of the orcs in human society is only higher than that of slaves, and even the status of ordinary human civilians is much higher than that of orcs.
There are many reasons for this situation, the most important of which is that the social civilization of human beings is much higher than that of orcs, for example, most of the orcs are still tribal social models, and more orcs live a primitive life of hunting and survival.
"Let's go find a place and sell some soap to earn some money for the store," Luya patted the dust on his ass and stood up.
The roads of Boulder City are simply crossed, and according to what Ruya just heard through passers-by, if you want to sell items at night, you need to go to the 'evening market'. They were still a dozen streets away from the Evening Market, and since the Evening Market was near the East Gate, and they had to cross the entire Boulder City to reach their destination.
However, the central inner city of Boulder City is not allowed to be entered by ordinary people like them, and it is the location of the city lord's mansion, humans, and those big tribes, which are always guarded by powerful orc warriors.
Lu Ya didn't know about this situation, the three of them pushed the cart all the way, gnawed on the cold beast and walked forward, their heads wandered around, and they looked like they had entered the city with a dirt bun, and finally they were blocked by the walls of the inner city to know that there was still an inner city.
After more than an hour, Lu Ya finally arrived at the evening market in Dongcheng District, at this moment it is already the beginning of the lanterns, the shops along the road are full of bright lanterns, the evening market is like the night market on the earth, the more lively it is at night, people who have worked all day also like to relax themselves by visiting the evening market.
Vendors are attracted by the low cost of the evening market and the large number of consumers, but even the lowest prices require real coins.
At this moment, the three of Lu Ya stood at the entrance of the road about to enter the night market with an embarrassed face, looking at a simple notice written on a billboard.
'All vendors can only sell goods at stalls in the designated area, and the stalls charge different rents from small to large'
There was a wooden table at the bottom of the sign, and in front of it sat a young man in a blue shirt, and Ruya saw several stacks of palm-sized wooden signs placed in front of the table, and from time to time someone came up to exchange different signs from the man with different coins, and these people took the sign and found a painted grid on the ground, and hung the sign on a wooden stick inside the grid, and then began to lay their stalls in this grid, waiting for customers to buy.
“・・・・・”
“・・・・・”
“・・・・・”
The three of Lu Ya had been standing in front of this notice for a long time, and from time to time passers-by cast puzzled glances at this strange combination.
"Let's go, go over and figure it out"
Lu Ya noticed that the human was no longer busy at the moment, and he was looking down and didn't know what he was studying, so he led the bear and walked over.
Walking closer, the blue-clothed human didn't notice their arrival, but was looking at a book in his hand with relish, Lu Ya leaned over and found that it was written some interesting otherworldly arithmetic problems, such as "36 beasts ignore nine people, but each person can only divide the singular number, how to divide it." "Ten catties of rice wine should be divided equally between two people, but there is only one 3 catties barrel and a 7 catties barrel, and then how to divide it" and so on...
"What are you doing" The young man in blue finally found Lu Ya and the others.
"Oh, nothing, we want to go in and sell something," Ruya gestured to the box on the nephew.
"What are you selling? Forget it, you poor and sour look and don't have any good things, how big do you want, look at your little car, a small stall is enough, na, 10 copper coins." The young man in blue replied to himself, picked up a wooden card from the edge and threw it to Luya, then stretched out his hand to Luya, and looked at the book under his head.
"However, we don't have any money" Lu Ya looked at the wooden sign in his hand, only to see that a small word was simply written on it, and then he rubbed his nose and handed the sign over again with an embarrassed face.
"Don't have 10 copper coins?" the young man in blue raised his head and looked at Lu Ya with some astonishment.
"Really, we..." Lu Ya was just about to explain, but the young man Lan Yi interrupted Lu Ya with a wave of his hand.
"If not, let's go, don't bother me here"
"・・・・・・" Even if he knew that the other party might not have a good temper, Lu Ya couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and then he stepped forward and continued.
"This steward, I see that you like that kind of joke a lot, you don't see ten copper coins is really not much, let me tell you a fun topic, change your brand, what do you think"
Ruya blinked.
"Oh, okay, I'll hear what good topics you have, and if it's really fun, I'll give you a sign" The young man in blue was really keen on this, and immediately raised his head when he heard Lu Ya's words.
