Chapter 108: Entering the Game
Bol City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although this small city on the western border does not have the grand and orderly planning of Greystone City, its sense of historical precipitation is incomparable to that of Greystone City.
Due to its backdrop to the Great Wilderness, the city is home to a large number of mercenary adventurers, or some small merchants, all year round. While they brought a lot of consumption to the city of Ball, they also brought instability to the city of Bowl.
Studying the development history of Boer City is a verification of the sentence "success is also a great wilderness, and defeat is also a great wilderness." ”
Backed by the Great Wilderness, with the advantage of the terrain, the city of Boer will never lack a mobile population and wealth. But it is precisely because of the great wilderness that the chaotic order has become a shackle that restricts its development.
Mercenaries and adventurers are never the kind of citizens who keep to themselves, so the cost of committing a crime in a frontier town backed by the wilderness is low. Often, after committing a crime, you can escape the punishment of the law by hiding in the wilderness.
At the beginning of the establishment of Boer City, the giants and bandits here were simply flooded, and it was the ancestors of the nobles who cut through the thorns and thorns to exterminate a large number of thieves to form today's Boer City.
It is also because of this history that the city of Boer has formed a very distinctive urban culture.
On the outskirts of it is a chaotic, noisy, impoverished ghetto with taverns and a mix of fish. The interior of Boer is a rich and luxurious area where the nobles live a drunken life.
The first generation of Boer nobles established their foundation in blood and killing, but their descendants lost the murderous spirit of their ancestors, and they could not effectively govern the chaotic nature of Boer City, so they could only divide two areas, once a mercenary or adventurer crossed the line and violated the interests of the nobility, it was a great purge to welcome the ghetto.
On the edge of the aristocratic district is a luxurious old house.
The house is classical, and the furnishings inside are antiques with historical precipitation, and this low-key luxury is elegant and full of style in the aristocracy.
Even if any artifact in it can be sold for a good price, the golden fingers in the outer slums do not dare to steal no matter how skilled they are.
It's an invisible rule, a rule forged with blood and bones, and the ghetto can be chaotic, some gray trade can be made, but the minefield must never be crossed.
The house now belongs to Viscount Wood, the owner of the city of Boer.
You must know that in the history of Boer City, there are always some nobles who are down, and as the largest nobleman in the city, Viscount Wood does not mind buying some of other people's properties when others are down, so Viscount Wood's family estate in Boer City is also the most in Boer City.
Viscount Wood always said to his son: "In my father's hands, the aristocratic district of Boer City expanded by almost a block, and in my grandfather's time, it expanded by three blocks! I think that number would have risen to at least five blocks in my time!"
Whenever he said this, Viscount Wood always looked crazy, and there was an indescribable heat in his eyes.
The expansion of the aristocratic district meant that the size of the town of Boer City expanded, and at the same time, the interests in the hands of the nobility also expanded, and in such a great wilderness, the possession of wealth meant the possession of power, so the expansion of the noble district became a goal of successive viscounts of the Wood family.
The house was on the edge of the slums, and living here overlooked the slums outside, so Wood often came here to think about certain things.
But recently the house has welcomed a mysterious guest.
In the living room of the house, the floor is covered with a soft goose down carpet, this fine alchemy weaving is the pursuit of many lower-class nobles, and at the moment it is casually laid in the hall. A middle-aged man wearing a dark black tuxedo, decent and well-proportioned, calm temperament and the vicissitudes of life unique to middle-aged people make people feel good, take a closer look, it is Wang Xiaotian's old friend Nick, at this moment, he is listening carefully to the news brought by his subordinates.
"So the Greystone Alliance managed to kill the Ogre Commander?" Nick asked with a deep groan.
"Yes. ”
A scout-dressed man replied respectfully.
"So that means they have gold-level high-end combat power?"
"No, the Greystone Alliance uses a special method of warfare, and from our on-site observations, we know that they use three warriors who are infinitely close to the peak of silver, combined with enchanted weapons to carry out a sneak attack. ”
The scout's voice was cold, but at this moment, there was a clear sense of doubt, obviously, he was also confused about the Gray Stone Alliance's combat method of using rune frequency communication.
“...... You don't have gold-level power, but you can kill gold......"
Nick crossed his hands, propped his chin, and fell into deep thought, he was very pleased with the results of the Graystone Alliance, as the head of the Violet Chamber of Commerce in this area, but he couldn't touch the bottom of the Graystone Alliance, which was a little difficult.
"Are you sure about this news?"
"Yes. ”
"Our men are also in the distance, just in case, using an arcane scroll "Atmospheric Perspective" to spy on it. ”
A hint of determination flashed in Nick's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The Greystone Alliance is qualified!
"You go and tell your lord that the Greystone Alliance has the strength to kill gold, but it is restrictive, but it is also eligible to participate in our plan!"
"Yes, Mistress Nick. The scout replied respectfully, and the figure quietly disappeared into the air, and the strange figure was terrifying.
............
In the hills behind the city of Boer.
At this moment, Wang Xiaotian was also saying words similar to Nick's in his mouth.
"Booz, hmm...... With the combat power we have shown so far, we must have qualified to become the pawns of some big shots!" Wang Xiaotian chuckled, turned around and said to Buzi happily.
Buzi was stunned for a moment, and then said to Wang Xiaotian with an inexplicable expression: "Boss, with our current combat strength, who else can use us as pawns?!"
Wang Xiaotian glanced at Buzi, didn't explain, still just smiled, looking at the orc army in front of him that was gathering the outcasts.
But in Wang Xiaotian's heart, he didn't show it so easily.
A few days ago, Wang Xiaotian, who was far away in Blackstone Town, received a secret letter from Nick.
The content of the secret letter is very simple, that is, there is such an ogre army to attack Bol, and this army has a gold-level commander and a silver-pinnacle general.
The forces behind Nick demanded that the Greystone Alliance send troops, either to crush the army or to kill the two leader-level ogres.
Of course, the reward is also very rich, that is, their Greystone Alliance can participate in a plan planned by the person behind a certain Violet Chamber of Commerce.
This secret letter seemed to be a letter seeking cooperation, but Wang Xiaotian knew that this was a test of whether the Greystone Alliance had enough strength to participate in the big plan behind.
Therefore, he developed such a plan for "hunting for gold".
On the one hand, he wanted to test whether the rune battle mode formulated by Piltover of Rune Continent could be implemented in the other world, and on the other hand, he wanted to hide the strength of the Graystone Alliance to the greatest extent.
After all, there is a faint shadow of the Violet Royal Family behind the Violet Chamber of Commerce, and this year's cooperation, the Graystone Alliance mainly provides eliminated rune weapons, while the Violet Chamber of Commerce pays gold coins and various materials needed by the Graystone Alliance, such as blue crystals, magic metals, etc.
You must know that in the past year, according to Luna's statistics, the development of the alliance has almost been supported by these arms trades, and the rune weapons trade is the big one, and the liquor and cigarettes in the back are just incidental.
And throughout the entire Violet Principality, there is only one place where a large number of enchanted weapons are urgently needed - the Northland Battlefield.
At the same time, the glorious arena of the alliance, as well as the blue crystals required for various equipment, that is, the arcane crystals, is not a small amount, and if you filter it again, the forces that can provide the magic metals required for these magic crystals and rune weapons, the Violet Principality is nothing more than a few.
Therefore, the object behind the Violet Chamber of Commerce, which has been trading with the Graystone Alliance, has almost come out - the Violet Royal Family.
According to Wang Xiaotian's analysis of the contemporary Violet Grand Duke, after the Grand Duke succeeded to the throne, he carried out a major purge more than ten years ago, although the specific conditions are unknown, but it has achieved centralized power.
Then the Grand Duke worked hard, and the handling of government affairs had a diligence that the Grand Dukes of Violet history did not have.
Under his subordinates, Wang Xiaotian observed and analyzed that the power of the local nobles was getting smaller and smaller, and the royal family was getting stronger and stronger.
This should be placed in ancient China, a proper master of Zhongxing.
With the development of the Graystone Alliance, the understanding of violets has become more and more profound.
This is an ancient country with a long history, although it has inevitably begun to fall into a kind of aristocratic erosion, but the national power is still very strong, in this world, the aristocracy is the class with power.
And as an ancient country, the Violet royal family can suppress so many nobles, and at the same time, gaining a foothold on the edge of the Great Wilderness, Wang Xiaotian does not believe that this country does not have its own hole card heritage.
Therefore, for the inaction of the Violet royal family in the face of the invasion of Vitan in the Northland, Wang Xiaotian has already understood that this is the Grand Duke of Violet planning something.
And the Greystone Alliance, as an orc force at present, is undoubtedly difficult to gain a foothold in the human realm, and Wang Xiaotian, who is worried day and night, actually has an idea, but if this idea is to be realized, there is a must be a friendly achievement with the Grand Duke of Violet.
Therefore, Wang Xiaotian chose to accept Nick's conditions, intending to participate in a certain plan laid out by the royal family.
