Chapter 328: Thor Merchant Group
Just when Li Mo led a group of people to use spatial teleportation to teleport wildly. In Monet's city, a strange procession appears at the gates of the city and quickly attracts the attention of the others.
In a short time, the inhabitants of the city gathered at the city gate and watched the small procession. This made one of the humans at the head of the team very uneasy.
Humans, that's why this team is making a splash. In this team, although there are a few Bloods and Minotaurs, there are more heavily armed human professionals.
Human warriors, human archers, human assassins. The residents of Monet City, under extremely accidental circumstances, were able to see the existence of several human members in the team entering the city, but more of them were orcs like themselves.
Barren Plains, in the final analysis, the proportion of human beings, is still in the minority. Here, it's still an alien world.
"What do those humans do?" said a rabbit-man female, with her ears raised and a strong curiosity, touched a canine beside her.
"I don't know, it doesn't look like a passing merchant group, but like the escort of some big man. The humans in front of them looked very nervous, and coupled with the several richly dressed bloods in the team, it was natural for the canines to misunderstand the origin of this team.
"How big a person can hire a guard who is all human professionals? I heard that each of these professionals has great strength. "On the barren plains, there is still a rumor of the holy war of the Hidden Alliance. And the human alliance, as the victorious side, has also been described as becoming more and more powerful in the stories passed down from generation to generation.
"I also heard my grandmother say it when I was a child, but I didn't expect to actually meet human professionals. "The one who spoke thought that the dwarf, with a white beard on his chubby face, did not know how many years he had lived.
In Monet City, there are various races living here, after all, Monet City is a city where various weak races gather together to keep warm in order to protect themselves.
"Why are these people looking like this?, is there something strange about our team?" said one of the humans in the group, grumbling to the Bloods beside him. The first city that his business group arrived in since its formation was Monet City, but I didn't expect that it would cause such a big sensation the moment my group of people appeared.
If Yorktown's Whippet Doberman were still alive now, he would definitely have gritted his teeth in front of him. Because, he saw the weapon that the person in front of him sold to him, so he became greedy for a moment and caused the destruction of the Doberman family.
Yes, this person was one of the salesmen sent by Li Mo at that time, and his name was Leon.
And in this team, in addition to Leon, there are many familiar figures, Johnny, Evan, they are all in this team. Listening to Leon's complaints is one of the Bloods of the Twilight Hills: Slovy Makavi. The second son of Ken Makawi, the current patriarch of the Makavi clan. He is a Bloodline mage who specializes in magic and an excellent kitchenware maker. The kitchen utensils that Li Mo is using now are from Slovey's hand.
"It's no surprise that in Monet, it's been a long time since a human race has appeared. These people are curious, aren't they?" Slovy wasn't too surprised to see the scene in front of him. And the reason why these people are excited is easy for him to guess.
This is one of the caravans that set out from the Twilight Hills, as the majority of the team is made up of Mjolnir-born mercenaries. Therefore, these merchant groups are naturally named Thor Merchant Groups. All the members of the trade group had no objection to this.
The city of Monet, on the other hand, is located in the southwest of the Twilight hills. It's a small city, slightly larger than Laurel Town. Importantly, the city already has a complete and solid stone wall, rather than the rudimentary walls used in Laurel Town.
The city of Monet was formed on the basis of several small tribes that lived in the vicinity earlier. After the establishment of the city, it slowly attracted more residents. Gradually, it has the current scale.
Now, in Monet City, it is the canine people and the rabbit people who have the right to speak. These two tribes were one of the first races to participate in the establishment of Monet. The other tribes, due to their small numbers, have now relinquished control of the city in favor of running their own clans.
Monet is not too far from the Twilight Hills. In this city, high-quality medicinal materials and tea are produced. At the same time, it is also a production place for high-quality furs.
However, the fur produced here is not from hunting, but from domestic animals raised by the canine people and other races. The canine people have an extraordinary talent for raising animals.
These high-quality raw materials attract merchants from all over the world to buy goods, and at the same time, because of the proximity to the Twilight Hills. Therefore, those merchants who are waiting for the rich people on the Twilight Hills to lift the blockade and let the merchants enter, will also rest in Monet.
As a bloodline who doesn't like to be disturbed, it has its own rules when it comes to trading goods. For only two days a month, caravans are allowed to reach the foot of the Twilight Hills and peddle their goods outside the residential area.
Although such a regulation made the merchant group complain. However, with the abundant financial resources of the Blood Clan, each merchant group still chose to abide by the rules of the Blood Clan, and went to Twilight Hills to trade on the two days of the first month.
In order to calm the emotions of the merchants, the blood clan will not be taxed for their transactions in Twilight Hills. This money has not been put into the eyes of the blood clans. Moreover, among the merchants who entered the Twilight Hills, there may be a certain blood clan. It's just that the businessman who leads the merchant group will not be qualified to know the identity of the boss behind the scenes.
However, in Monet, there is no such good thing. If a merchant group wants to trade in Monet, they can only follow the rules and pay taxes at the tax office outside the castle lord's mansion to obtain the qualification to sell goods. The price of this qualification is 30 gold coins.
After paying the stall tax of 30 gold coins, if the business is closed, no matter how low the price, the transaction tax is paid. And this is more than the amount of tax, which has to do with the regulations of the city.
In the city of Monet, the price of this tax is one percent of the transaction price. Since most of the transactions in Monet's city were between merchant groups and merchant groups, the total amount of this tax was not a few.
The direction in which they are heading in Lyon is the tax office. [.]
