Chapter 471: Hanging Out
Walking in the trade area of Heitan City, looking at the bustling and lively scene around him, Luo Sheng couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart. The look in the eyes of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info has also become a little complicated.
Although the trade area of Blackpool City is also open to other forces and tribes in the Dark Region, and there are also many merchants from various regions of the Dark Region who come to trade in Blackpool City, but in the entire trade area, it is the human merchants who are the most active and bring the most goods to Blackpool City. In the trade zone, a considerable number of shops are operated by human beings, and even run by human forces. And the proportion of pedestrians on the street is also quite large.
In his previous life, when Luo Sheng first saw this kind of scene, he didn't have much feeling in his heart. At that time, Luo Sheng was mixed in the dark world, his hands were full of blood, and he had done a lot of ridiculous things, and he didn't have much bad feelings towards the dark elves, and he didn't feel that the contradictions between humans and the dark elves had much impact on him. And these smuggling activities will not have much impact on the situation.
However, after Luo Sheng experienced all kinds of hardships, his own strength gradually improved, and his horizons became broader, he had a deeper understanding of this behavior of smugglers. Especially after experiencing the cruel competition between various races under the demonic disaster, many of Rasen's views have changed.
For example, the smuggling behavior of these human caravans in front of them, although it seems that they are just communicating with the dark elves, using the huge price difference between the surface of the earth and the dark region to seek some personal benefits for themselves and the forces behind them, it is not a big crime, and it has no impact on the overall situation.
But from a higher-level perspective, this kind of smuggling is, in essence, an enemy. Use the various resources of human society to fund the growth of the dark elves.
After all, due to the particularity of the environment, although there are many special products in the dark region, the overall resources are not comprehensive, and there are many materials and precious resources that need to be obtained from the surface world. Without the support of these resources, although the dark elves will not collapse, their overall strength will definitely decline to a considerable extent, and even fall into a greater degree of internal strife.
But with a large number of materials smuggled by humans and other forces, the dark elves made up for their shortcomings and shortcomings in resources. Although they also paid a lot of price, they have gained a considerable degree of improvement in overall strength.
And from the perspective of the competition between the various races in the entire Ymir Continent, the relationship between humans and dark elves is mainly a competitive relationship, and there is even a huge hatred and contradictions. The more powerful the dark elves, the greater the threat to surface races such as humans.
In fact, the large-scale invasion and plundering of the surface humans after the completion of the unification of the dark elves in the previous life has shown that they have been fighting the demon plague. After the growth of the dark elves, they used military and political means to embezzle a lot of human interests, and even posed a certain threat to the survival of human beings.
Therefore, from this point of view, the behavior of these smugglers is for their own selfish interests, endangering the security of the entire human race, and eroding the interests of the entire human race. It is not wrong to say that they are spies and black sheep among the human race.
However, Luo Sheng also knows that the world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit. As long as there is an attraction of interests, things like this are simply unavoidable. And even within human beings, all kinds of disputes and contradictions cannot be reconciled. It is not too realistic to want all forces to cooperate in unison and completely abandon cooperation with the dark elves. Even if some forces give up trade with the dark elves, it will soon be tempted by this intermediate interest to continue to invest in it, taking over the original power's place.
So after figuring these things out, although Luo Sheng didn't have much affection for these smugglers, he didn't have much hatred. It is the big forces that are really responsible for this situation, the strife and greed within the human race, not the low-level executors who are just trying to survive, to be promoted, and to wealth.
"Mr. Van Cleef, this is the Scarlet Enchantress' Tavern. When Luo Sheng sighed in his heart, Jia Aisi, who had been accompanying Luo Sheng, pointed to a tavern with a sign of blood-red flowers on the side of the road and said to Luo Sheng.
After Luo Sheng and Lila reached a trading agreement, Luo Sheng's identity changed from an ordinary smuggler to Lila, the 'honored guest' of the Third Highness. And Jais, who was originally arrogant and invincible in front of Luo Sheng, became Luo Sheng's 'companion' and was responsible for providing various services for Luo Sheng. And this time Luo Sheng came out to do errands, and Jia Aisi became the natural tour guide.
"It looks like Cacello's side hasn't arrived yet, so let's go ahead and wait a minute. After Luo Sheng looked at the surrounding environment, he nodded slightly and said lightly.
At this time, it had been five days since Luo Sheng entered Blackpool City. Previously, Luo Sheng had been staying in the barracks, closely protected by the Spider Knights. It wasn't until Lila's side had 'notified' all the high-ups of Blackpool City of the news of the trade with Rasen, finalized the matter, and reached a tacit agreement with other forces on the surface, that Rasheng was freed.
Of course, Luo Sheng was able to come out of the barracks and gain a certain amount of freedom. It is also the result of my own strong demand. According to Lira and Gotha's idea, it would be best for Rason to stay in the barracks during this time, without contacting any outsiders, until the transaction between the two sides is completed. Only in this way is it the safest.
However, this result is obviously unacceptable to Luo Sheng. Being imprisoned in the barracks all the time is equivalent to being in the hands of the lira all the time, not only does he not have the opportunity to stir up the storm, but he may also expose some flaws that he does not notice when he is closely monitored. Therefore, even if he put on a posture of wanting to break up and cancel the transaction, Luo Sheng had to win for himself the limited right to move freely in Blackpool City.
After gaining some freedom, Luo Sheng immediately contacted Cacello through the people of the Spider Knights and asked about the purchase of various poisons and herbs. And this time I came to this Scarlet Enchantress Tavern to meet with Cacello and complete the entrusted transaction between the two.
Casero didn't let Luo Sheng wait too long, while Luo Sheng was tasting the signature wine Scarlet Enchantress concocted by the bartender in the tavern, while relying on his strong perception ability, he listened to the chats of everyone in the tavern, and when collecting information from it, Caselo's footsteps appeared in the tavern, and soon came to the door of the box where Luo Sheng was.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Brother Van Cleef, I've kept you waiting, I've already bought all the things you want. ”
