Ark City is one of the fifteen famous cities of the Demon Cloud Empire, with a population of about three million, and it is a military fortress on the southern frontier of the empire, and the main object of defense is the ogres in the mountains and forests.

Three hundred years ago, Justin's ancestor offended a son of a remote branch of the Mo family, an imperial magnate, who was good at monopolies, and offered his wife and daughter to the direct descendants of the Mo family, and finally took advantage of the situation to rise to the top.

Several noble ministers who wanted to tie up with the Mo clan took the opportunity to send the entire family of Justin ancestors to the Thorn Realm, which was called to open up the territory for the empire, guard the sea, and the title also jumped from a fifth-class earl to a low-ranking marquis. Therefore, the development of the Justin family in the Thorn Realm has been hindered by the city lord and the military of Ark City.

Now, Justin must not enter Ark City in the name of Lord of Thorns, otherwise he may be punished for the crime of colluding with the ogres to betray the country and betray humanity, not to mention whether he can buy all kinds of supplies.

Although, according to the agreement between Justin and Dubibie, Justin's behavior was confirmed as a betrayal of the country and a betrayal of the Terrans, which was definitely more than enough, but Justin did not think so.

In his eyes, the Demon Cloud Empire was no longer his homeland, and the Thorn Collar was his foundation. As for betraying humanity, hehe, Justin himself is human, and he won't betray himself.

Justin saw a long line of hunters, merchants, and rich children who were out of the city to enter the city, and he also lined up peacefully.

To enter the city, you only need to pay ten copper coins, which is the price of twenty steamed buns. In the Demon Cloud Empire, copper coins have the lowest value, followed by silver and gold coins.

One gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, and one silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins. This is due to the fact that gold and silver are relatively scarce, while copper is more common in the Cangmang Continent.

Half an hour later, Justin paid ten copper coins to enter the city, but he was harassed by the defenders of the city when the ogre entered the city.

Maybe it was because he looked at Justin and was not a dignitary in Ark City, so each ogre was forcibly charged a silver coin to enter the city, on the grounds that the ogre was too dangerous and made it more difficult to manage the city.

Your sister, didn't you see the ogre behind me being docile like a kitten?Justin was a little annoyed, but this trip was too important for the development of the territory, and Justin didn't want to mess up, so he had to swallow his anger.

Walking on the streets of the city, seeing the bustling flow of people, seeing the thriving business, and the buzzing people, Justin was very envious.

If only I could build the Thorn Collar like this!, Justin thought wistfully.

Walking into an inn, Justin directly chartered a courtyard, and it cost a gold coin for a day of accommodation.

Justin beckoned his guys and ordered three roast whole sheep, five roast suckling pigs, ten roast chickens, and as for greens and the like, do you say ogres eat them?

Yes, they ate all the way, aren't they hungry? Now that there is something delicious, they don't know how to take care of the vegetables, so it's all meat.

What, why don't you say Justin eats vegetables? Big brother, wake up, he hasn't smelled meat except for fish on the way, and you say that the growth of the ogre population has caused great harm to the reproduction of animals in the mountains and forests?

Ten ogres plus Justin, that's a whirlwind. But fortunately, the ogres knew the rules and asked Justin to cut off the parts he wanted to eat first, and then rushed to eat. Otherwise, if you look at the ogre's eating face, the greasy and salivating saliva that is rubbing everywhere, will Justin still have an appetite when he eats with them?

After resting for an hour after eating, Justin ordered the six ogres to rest and not go anywhere, otherwise they would not eat at night.

These young ogres had never seen such delicious food since they were born, and Justin was their god at the moment. Oh, Ogre Ancestral God, forgive your people for their blasphemy!

Justin wanders around with the four ogres and asks about the price of the grain, as well as the price of its delivery. When the merchants heard that it was going south, they shook their heads.

In desperation, Justin changed the delivery location to a small town in the north, and then asked about the price of grain delivery, which turned out to be expensive.

Yes, it is far more expensive to buy grain in a big city than to harvest it below.

Justin had no intention of paying attention to the price of food, because he had already made up his mind that although he didn't know if it could be done, the treasure was moving, and he still wanted to give it a try.

In fact, Justin's destination is none other than Bowen Court.

Bards often write in novels that so-and-so picked up a leak in the Bowen Pavilion and bought a fetish, treasure, etc. at a very low price, and Justin wanted to talk about pen business on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also wanted to try to see if he could pick up the leak.

Entering the Debaoyun Pavilion, I saw that the treasures in the pavilion were gathered, including thousand-year-old blood coral, precious porcelain, exquisite jewelry made by national handicrafts, some rare materials that had never been seen, and some valuable swords for sale.

After a round and round, Justin felt very bored.

As recorded in the travelogue novel, there is indeed a pile of items that are thrown on the ground so mixed up for a very low price, but no one cares about it. Because there are too many people who want to pick up the leaks, the result is that no matter how good the buyer is, the seller can't be fine, not to mention the value for money, even if it is worth the money, it is rare, let alone buy gods and treasures at a low price.

The same goes for Justin, who simply can't tell which is a treasure and which is a scrap. Besides, none of the items placed here can strengthen his fiefdom, so naturally he doesn't like it.

Stopping a beautiful waitress, Justin asked, "I want to sell items to Bowen Court, but I don't know where to negotiate?"

In a rare violation of her own rules, the waitress did not observe the customer's clothes at first glance, but was attracted by Justin's handsome and bevelous face.

Justin gently nudged the waitress on the shoulder and asked, "What's wrong with you, aren't you feeling well?"

Seeing Justin's gentle and concerned greeting, the waitress blushed and turned around twice in a panic, before she said, "It's nothing, I was a little stunned for a while, maybe it was too busy and tired." ”

The waitress glanced at Justin's dress, the clothes were gorgeous, and the styles were relatively rare, so she should be quite well-off.

This is still because Justin is not a dignitary in Ark City, otherwise the waitress only needs to look at his appearance to know whose son it is.

The waitress led Justin and the four ogres into a secret room and said, "Childe, wait a minute, the supervisor will talk to you in a moment." With that, she poured a cup of tea and walked out of the secret room.

After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, when the tea was cold, Justin saw a beautiful woman walk in. The temples are clinging to thin flakes of topazes and rubies, and the step shake does not look like ordinary jewelry, with slight magic fluctuations, which is one of the great gains of Justin after coming out of the secret treasure, is that he has a keen perception of magic items.

After all, Justin is only a thirteen-year-old boy, and he only has a bright eye for beautiful women, so he will not have other ideas.

If Justin was born in the noble gate, and he had no worries about food and clothing, he would definitely know how to fight cocks, play dogs, run horses, and play women at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
