Chapter 9: The People of Turan

As soon as the white of the fish's belly was revealed, William had already gotten up and started to cultivate for several years. Although he doesn't need to wake up so early every day, the habit he has cultivated over the years has made his biological clock wake up naturally at this time.

Yesterday he and Augustus came down the mountain overnight to the city of Turan, and the two of them shared a room. The boss looked at the two carefully in his first surprised and then natural expression. Then he showed a lewd expression and said with a lewd smile: "Don't worry, the sound insulation effect in the small shop is the best in the entire Turan City." Then in William's depressed expression, Augustus turned blushing.

Seeing the blushing Augustus, the innkeeper seemed to confirm his conjecture even more, and still smiled obscenely: "Do you two need anything else? With that, he turned and took out a large basket of things from under the counter, even the divine oil he had received from the barbarians. This kind of thing

In the boss's gushing unconsciousness, William turned out to be a little dizzy. Hurriedly said: "No need, thank you for your kindness." We were just passing through for a one night stay. When William dragged Augustus upstairs, he heard the boss say to himself: "Alas, young is good!"

William looked at Augustus, who was still asleep, and thought of the boss's lewd expression yesterday, sighed, and woke Augustus up. He took out a map he had bought in the city yesterday and looked at it carefully. It's not far from here to the warm winter plateau, only a few hundred miles, and it only takes a few days to reach it if you go at full speed. But in the warm winter plateau, I don't want to be so casual here, after all, those alien races are notoriously stinky. And he's pretty good at making weird things. William and Augustus alone couldn't capture dwarves in the warm winter plateau, and they needed to hire some bands of thieves or professional slave catchers. But the two of them now have money that can only open one room, so do they still have the money to hire other people?

"I know a few rich people in Turan City, I'll go and borrow some money, they won't be stingy. William said.

Augustus glanced up at William, and naturally understood what he meant by "borrowing". But he wouldn't have said it undecided, otherwise with William's scoundrel character, the job would have fallen to him.

"Then I'll go and get the news out of the mercenary mercenary. Augustus said.

William shook his head: "No, most of the mercenaries here know me. They won't accept my employment. Moreover, we are still a few days away from the Warm Winter Plateau, and we will talk about employment in Dawn County. You now go to the market and pick up some horses and some gear. We can't wear these animal skins to the plateau in the warm winter. ”

"You're pretty self-aware. Augustus made a rare joke.

"I've always had it. William said lightly.

................................................

Although Turan City is not big, the horse market here is quite reasonable. At least this is the border of the Empire. Augustus went from house to house in the horse market, and he didn't know much about Soma, but he also knew that a good horse had well-developed muscles and four strong hooves. Those who are familiar with horses can determine the age of horses from their teeth, but Augustus only knows some fur.

When the owner of a horse market saw Augustus, he wanted to introduce him to some, but when he saw what Augustus was wearing, he lost interest. looked at him coldly from the side, looking at him as if Augustus was not here to buy, but to rob. It's no wonder that the people who come to the horse market are either well-dressed or have some family crest on their bodies. How could there be a robe like Augustus, whose whole body was in tatters, and whose clothes were simply sewn from animal skins that smelled of Warcraft?

Augustus was looking carefully at the Sharma when William found him excitedly. He also carried a large cloth bag on his shoulder, and it was obvious that the man he knew was very "generous".

"How's it going?" asked William.

"Yes, these Shire horses are good, they are purebred. It's just a little too expensive. And there are a few Reykna in the house next to it, which is also good, and it is not bad, and the most important thing is that the price is acceptable. Augustus fainted.

"Haha, our old friend was very righteous and gave me a lot of travel expenses. We only buy the most expensive now, not the best!" William smiled insolently, full of the air of an upstart.

"Boss, bring out your most expensive horse, I want to see it!" shouted William into the room.

The sleepy boss at the door raised his eyelids, saw another turtle in animal skin clothes, sighed, and said lazily: "Guest, our best horse here is the Shire horse, but I miss you...... I suggest you take a look at the hybrids in our shop. This kind of horse is very cheap, although it is not strong. ”

Obviously, this boss didn't take William seriously, and he didn't even want to do business.

"I want two Shire horses, the best of you here!" William shook the bag he was carrying in his hand. The gold coins in the bag made a crisp and pleasant crashing sound.

The boss who heard the sound of the gold coin instantly opened his eyes, as if the sound was the most wonderful refreshing medicine in the world. His face was immediately full of smirks and he said, "The guest is really a good eye." At a glance, I valued the best horses in the shop. It's not that I'm bragging, my old John's horse is the best in the whole horse market, you see, this horse's ass is so meaty, you look at how thick this horse's lips are. These traits tell you that this is an absolutely good horse. Even in the army, you can't find this ......."

What interrupted Old John was a pile of gold coins that reflected dazzling in the sun.

"Two horses, is this money enough?"

"Enough is enough, enough gold to buy all the horses in Old John's stable. John smiled at the gold coins scattered on the ground.

After William bought two horses, he fully explained the word nouveau riche to the Augustan warriors. William took Augustus to buy a gorgeous outfit again, and of course, a fancy outfit for himself. However, the generous William still bought Augustus a half-length armor for five gold coins. It's just that Augustus looked at his own half-body armor and William's gorgeous armor that he almost didn't dare to look at directly. A faint magical glow continued to shine on the armor, and the difference between five hundred gold coins and five gold coins was immediately apparent.

"It's for your protection. When they encounter enemies, they will be the first to see me and ignore you. William explained.

Augustus didn't think so, but he didn't argue with William.

The two stayed in Turan City for a long time before slowly moving south. Both William and Augustus rode their Shire horses south of the city. While walking, William instilled his own worldview in Augustus. Augustus, who seemed to understand or not, nodded occasionally and was occasionally dazed. Until then, he kept a blank expression.

"Stop, you two, dismount and be checked!" an arrogant shout interrupted William's ramblings.

William looked at the man standing in front of him, dressed in standard Imperial armor, and the two gold barbed badges on his shoulders represented the identity of the squadron leader. William didn't know what he was going to do.

The city of Turan clearly stipulates that whether you leave the city or enter the city, you must charge a customs clearance fee of one copper coin per capita. It's just that William, who has always been lawless in the city of Turan, never pays attention to these bird rules, and he never pays any so-called customs duties when he enters the city. It was also stopped once, but William made a big fuss at the city gate and injured several people. This incident reached Beckett, who withdrew the troublesome city defense troops on the spot. Since then, almost every newcomer to the city defense department has been instructed by a veteran: "If you see someone wearing animal skin clothes, you don't see it." No matter what, you can't conflict with them. ”

It's just that William is now wearing a magical armor and riding the best horse he can buy on the market, and he relies on clothes. William, who was wearing such equipment, did not have the temperament of a bandit at all, but was more like a gentleman nobleman. Many of the city defense troops can only become by relying on relationships, and a squadron leader is a distant relative of the city lord. Relying on this relationship, the city defense army never took any nobles into account.

"Everyone who wants to leave the city must hand in a copper coin, ah no, a silver coin! It's just that there is greed in the eyes.

The squadron leader had just noticed William, an expensive magical armor, and a purebred Shirema, all of which meant that he was a noble child. And William said something to the attendant next to him, and the attendant only nodded. This further confirmed the squadron leader's conjecture. Thinking that the children of the nobility have always been a representative of cowardice, the squadron leader laughed happily: "It seems that I can go to Xia Lin's ** again today." ”

Seeing that the aristocratic young man in front of him did not dismount, but looked at himself on the horse. The squadron leader struggled to straighten himself and look taller. "Well, maybe I was overwhelmed by the power of my body. ”

"You don't know who I am?" William looked at the man in front of him with a strange expression.

"Who do I care who you are? Anyone who wants to leave the city must first pay a silver coin to pass the customs duty. Don't even want to move your father out, I'm telling you, that won't work here!" The squadron leader felt like the embodiment of justice when he said this, don't try to have anything to do with me!

Augustus looked at the squadron leader in front of him and sighed secretly. William wasn't a good temper, especially to strangers. He was a little worried about the captain's fate.

Sure enough, William dismounted a few steps and walked in front of the man, and with a slap knocked the man away, the captain drew a beautiful parabola with his body in the sky, and then fell to the ground and rolled a few times.

At this moment, the city defense officers and soldiers next to them stopped doing it, shouting and drawing weapons to surround William and the others. It took a long time for the squadron leader who had been thrown to get up and shouted: "Come on! Surround them, they are spies!"

With a "bang", dozens of people appeared, surrounding William and the others. It's just that no one dared to attack. Obviously, William had scared these people with a slap in the face.

At the urging of the squadron leader, the city defense officers and soldiers moved forward, only to be attacked by William and Augustus. After a while, the ground was already full of city defense officers and soldiers. The squadron leader saw that the two of them were surrounded by dozens of people and beat everyone down, and wanted to call someone. However, his eyes lit up, and he saw the captain who had heard the news and brought people to him. Looking at the menacing captain, he was obviously angry.

However, when the captain walked in, he felt that this person was a little familiar, and he thought about it for a long time before he was frightened. Tentatively asked, "William?"

"It's me. William looked at the captain as well.

The captain's face turned pale for a while, and he heard one of his men say that there was a spy who wanted to escape from the city, so he brought someone to him. Unexpectedly, the so-called spy turned out to be William. He secretly tapped the name of the squadron leader several times in his heart, and decided that when this matter was resolved, he must teach him a hard lesson. Just what to do in front of you?

The squadron leader thought that the captain was supporting him, and said, "Captain Gul, these two people are spies. After they had explored our escort forces in the city of Turan, they wanted to take them out of the city, but fortunately their subordinates were shrewd............ Ahh

Captain Gul interrupted the squadron leader's words with a slap and scolded, "Spy on me, these two men are the distinguished guests of Viscount Beckett! You bastard! You have not achieved enough things, but you have caused a great deal of trouble for Turan City!" Gul punched the squadron leader hard every time he said a word.

"William, this incident is a misunderstanding. You see...... That's it. After all, you still have something to do, it's not worth the delay for such a villain," Gul said to William in a low voice. Then he took out a small bag of gold coins from his arms: "This money, please drink something from the brothers in the cottage." ”

William took the gold coins and shook them without saying anything. He is not good at repeating incidents. If they knew that there was no one in the cottage, this group of officers and soldiers would not be so polite to him.

When William and the others were far away, Gul turned his head to look at the squadron leader who had not yet gotten up and said hatefully: "I hit you for your own good." Do you understand, if you fall into the hands of that man, you will surely die!"

To hell with me, the squadron leader thought to himself, but he thought so, but he still pretended to be grateful and said, "Understood!"
