NO.0041 ACCESSION TO THE WTO
Everything in the world, from insects and beasts to mountains and rivers, is changing, and the town of Carlin is no exception. Half a year ago, this town, which had been developing for more than 20 years, finally formed a certain scale and became a small city.
Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of mankind were like this, little by little, through the form of fiefdom to set human footsteps across the entire continent, the growth of Carlin City is just a microcosm of human survival and reproduction. Relying on the powerful local aristocracy, human beings have been able to become the mainstream of the continent in just a few thousand years.
The six-meter-high and three-meter-thick bluestone walls enclose the entire city, protecting the safety of the city's inhabitants and restricting the right to enter and exit the city at will, and can only be passed through the two gates to the north and south. The gates were five meters wide and ten meters high, and a group of about 20 soldiers in full armor guarded the main thoroughfares, closely watching every pedestrian entering the city.
The emaciated body carried a large stack of silver wolf skins on his back, and because he lived a savage-like life, his hair was draped over his shoulders because he had no time to take care of it, all of which was very noticeable. Fortunately, because his body had not yet developed, Yang Long had not yet grown a beard, and although the sergeant who held the city gate was a little surprised, he still let Yang Long go after careful inspection.
Living in the forest for more than a year, Yang Long hunted and killed at least 100 silver wolves, and at first went out because of the damage caused by strength and technique, and then got rid of Yang Long's own leather boots, leather pants and leather coats made by Yang Long to protect against the cold, and then removed some hair slopes damaged by moisture, leaving a total of more than 40 wolf skins.
The reason why he has traveled so far with these troublesome things is because Yang Long is penniless, and since he came to human society from the deep mountains and old forests, money is an indispensable hard currency. The only thing that Carlin Town has been acquired all year round is this kind of silver wolf fur, and Yang Long is the last thing to lack.
The first time he entered Carlin City, it didn't bother Yang Long, all the hunters in the entire territory would sell these furs here, and after a cursory observation, Yang Long followed the hunters who also wanted to sell their furs to find a trading point.
Although there were some minor problems in the process of trading young and savage-like images, but with the help of Yang Long's mature mind and indifferent eyes, Yang Long, who was carrying two gold coins, sat in a tavern and waited for a meal in less than half an hour.
Entering human society from an isolated environment, what is most needed is money and information, money is now available to Yang Long, and the tavern is the only place where information can be safely obtained. If you want to find out the news, of course, you can't just catch a passer-by and ask, especially Yang Long is still here to seek revenge, can he just find a random citizen and ask for the information of Beilu Rip? After wandering around the street for a while, Yang Long found that this place was similar to the hotel in his previous life, where there were many fish and dragons and certain rules, and it was a good place to hide his own information.
The way the currency of this world is measured is very simple, one gold coin can be exchanged for one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin can be exchanged for a hundred copper coins. With money, all you need to do is go to a tavern, a restaurant, a hotel, a talent market, a casino, or even a brothel, and even if you don't do anything, you get far more information than you would if you were looking around anywhere else.
When he first came to this world, the kind of black bread that Yang Long ate cost 2 copper coins for five catties, and Yang Long came to the tavern to order a yellow bread mixed with vegetables for 20 copper coins, a roasted pheasant meat cost 30 copper coins, a beer cost 10 copper coins, plus some desserts, Yang Long spent nearly 1 silver coin just to eat.
There was no doubt that Yang Long had been blackmailed by the attendants, and when he tortured Crane a year ago, Yang Long had already learned that as the guard of Carlin Castle, the mid-rank warrior of the first order, his salary was only two silver coins a month. If a serving of pheasant meat is worth 30 copper coins, then the pheasant is worth too much.
A table full of wine and food added up to a dozen copper coins at most, and it was obvious that the thin body and savage-like attire that had not yet begun to develop made the people in the tavern look down on themselves. However, Yang Long is not broken, coming here to listen to the news is a very crucial step, and it must not be lost because of these small things.
However, trouble is not something that can be avoided if you want to dodge, after paying the meal money that is not equal to the value at all, Yang Long quietly began to eat wine and food, and after a while, trouble came to the door by himself. The tavern was a thousand square meters in size, and Yang Long's location was not far from a window.
Long before Yang Long entered the tavern, there were already more than twenty professionals with different appearances gathered in the tavern, but after a rough sweep, Yang Long didn't care too much, these men and women who seemed to be fierce and cunning were basically the strength level of the middle and lower ranks of the first order, and the most powerful of them were only the upper ranks of the first order, and none of the strong people of the second order.
In fact, this also makes sense, it is not difficult for a professional who can reach the second order to find an errand under Viscount Carlin-Rip, and there is no need to hang out in such a tavern. If these people had swarmed up a year ago, Yang Long might have been more dangerous, but now it was just for him to spend more time slaughtering.
Maybe Yang Long's appearance was too young, or maybe it was Yang Long's big hands and feet when he paid that made this group of people greedy, and after a while, a burly two-meter man with his chest and bare his chest slowly walked over with his teeth and sat directly opposite Yang Long with a big grin. Yang Long didn't raise his eyelids, concentrating on dealing with the wine and food on the table, completely ignoring this uninvited guest.
Seeing such a situation, the big man, who thought he was extremely fierce, didn't know what to do for a while, and turned his head blankly to look at the accomplices who were staring at not far away. According to their previous agreement, the kid who came to occupy a seat by himself would definitely ask questions, and then he would scare this generous kid for various reasons to squeeze out money.
In case this guy doesn't know how to resist, the accomplices watching from the sidelines will pounce on him and forcibly take this kid out of the house to a remote place under the pretext of persuading him to fight, who knows that Yang Long completely ignored his own behavior, which made him a little dazed. After a while, he seemed to see some prompt, and the big man said with a grim face: "Hey, buddy."
"Get out!" Yang Long said lightly.
