Chapter 278: The First Arrival

End of October in the year 4419 of the solar calendar.

The mist in the air was already a little cool.

Iwabang.

Bronze City Peacock City.

At the entrance to the huge city, a wide river lies horizontally, and a huge suspension bridge stands quietly to accommodate the passing of people and horse-drawn carriages.

Below the bridge, there are 32 huge reinforced concrete stone columns, which serve as the base and support points, standing firmly in the middle of the river, only half of which is exposed.

The top of the suspension bridge is covered with countless special steel wires, which are connected to the withered guardrails on both sides of the suspension bridge, and look like a giant slingshot.

The river serves as a natural urban barrier, and is known to local residents as the "River of the Celestial Order," a term often used in large speeches in the Omto College District, meaning "affinity, protection, and dependence."

On both sides of the River, there are many tall ginkgo trees. At this time, it is late autumn, and the countless leaves dotted with trees have turned yellow, and the sunset is also sprinkled with a dull light.

At this moment, the giant carriage in which the circus rode had crossed the large drawbridge, and was examined and paid at the city gate.

These are all negotiated by Golov, and there is no need for Chen Lun, the head of the regiment, to do it personally.

With the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce as its right-hand partner, the circus has a legal "operation" certificate in the empire, as well as a formal pass certificate. Even every member of the group is a "pure" citizen of the Empire.

Twenty-five bronze crowe were paid as an entry fee, and the circus received a stamped certificate of entry into the city, as well as a salute from four guards.

Although the proof is only a thin copy of paper, and the feeling is very inferior to the touch, and even the ink is not clear, but this alone is more formal than most cities in the gem state.

As the carriage entered the city, the huge carriage did not attract the attention of pedestrians.

Because Peacock City is a port city, many chambers of commerce and individuals come and go, and large horse-drawn carriages abound.

"Mr. Jack, where are you going next?"

Golov's voice came from outside the curtain.

Chen Lun's mind then came up with memories of Peacock City, although he had been here in his previous life, he did not stay for a long time, so that now many impressions have begun to mold the lake.

"Let's go to the branch of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce here first, we need a little help."

Chen Lun thought for a while and said.

The group is new to the city, and it is not appropriate to be too ostentatious, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. At the same time, it also needs the help of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce to give a place to stay.

His purpose is very clear, he came to Peacock City to avoid the red plague, bury his head in development, and give his companions a relatively stable growth space...... By the way, the opportunity hidden in Peacock City was obtained.

In his previous life, rumors about opportunities in Peacock City were learned by Chen Lun from posts and videos on the game forum.

At that time, it was already the beginning of version 2.0, and after the version update, some people couldn't wait to post to show off, saying that they got good things in Peacock City.

Since then, one after another, some people have posted that they have also picked up a bargain in Peacock City.

As more and more posts appeared, everyone had the illusion that Peacock City was a city full of opportunities, a place where you could take off when you came.

Some players even jokingly referred to Peacock City as the "Ascension Sanctuary".

Chen Lun was also driven by curiosity at that time, followed the general trend and went to Peacock City. But then I found out that those rumors were very deceitful!

It's no different from other cities, there are opportunities, but most of them are small side quests, and there are only a few copies of the "big treasure", which has long been hollowed out.

Players who come to Peacock City to discover the truth shout that they have been deceived.

At that time, Chen Lun walked on the street, and he could often encounter scolding players.

But these people did not refute and debunk, but instead joined the ranks of "Peacock City is a good place", and posted on the forum to follow the trend, saying that they picked up strange things today, got extraordinary knowledge tomorrow, and soaked a noble widow the day after tomorrow......

So much so that in the end, the city was completely "deified" by the demons, and it was also followed by the trend and created momentum.

But Chen Lun still chose to come here for a reason.

That is, among the countless "opportunity posts", there are indeed three of them, which are true and credible news, and this time node has not yet been discovered.

This is due to a certain "appreciator" of the forum at that time, by peeling off the cocoon, from the fragmentary clues, deduced that three of the posts are true, and the rest are all memes.

His analysis was substantial, and later the party did reply to confirm it, and even took out some of the physical objects he had obtained as proof.

Because the matter has been hot for a while, Chen Lun is quite impressed by this.

He even remembered some clues to those three opportunities.

Golov drove the carriage and asked passers-by for directions.

A moment later.

Finally, after some stumbling, the circus came to the door of the building of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

Chen Lun asked the other companions to wait in the carriage, and only took Floyin with him, and the two went down together and walked into the gate of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

The hostess at the front desk was dressed decently and walked up with a smile on her face.

Chen Lun didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly took out the high-grade token Silver Ring Coin and asked the other party to ask the top person in charge of the branch, saying that there was something important to discuss in detail.

On the delicate makeup of the welcome lady, she first showed doubts, and then remembered something, staring at the silver ring coin, greatly surprised.

"Ah...... Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment and I will inform Mr. Todd! ”

She said with some nervousness.

Chen Lun and Floyin were seated on luxurious and comfortable sofas, and the welcome lady hurriedly ran upstairs. Between the actions, the side of the long skirt that was deliberately slitted loomed.

Several other young women at the front desk looked surprised, and their eyes roamed curiously on Chen Lun and Floyin's bodies, not knowing what kind of noble status these two handsome men and beauties were.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes followed the welcome lady downstairs.

He looked slightly nervous, wiped his sweaty palms, and strode over.

"Dear Mr. Jack, welcome to Peacock City, I'm sorry I didn't know about your arrival in advance, otherwise I would have set up a grand dinner party to greet you!"

Todd's posture is low, and his words are very comfortable.

Chen Lun knew that the other party was saying polite words, so after shaking hands with him briefly, he said:

"Mr. Todd, I am flattered by your enthusiasm."

"Oh no, no, it's a necessary courtesy, and at the same time a tribute to you."

Todd saw the young man in front of him and felt that the other party was quite easy to get along with, so he let go of his hanging heart.

President Rosa had already conveyed the message below, Mr. Jakespeter was her best friend, and the circus was the highest-ranking partner of the Chamber of Commerce, and no branch should be neglected.

"How can I help you?"

Todd asked the question with a sense of humor.

"This time I came to Peacock City, my companions and I may stay for a while, but because we are new to the city, we don't have a place to stay yet, so we ......"

"Mr. Jack, please rest assured, the Chamber of Commerce still has more than a hundred apartments, more than twenty villas, and the title deeds of seven or eight estates, you can choose ...... at will"

Todd said hurriedly.

He made a gesture and motioned to the young lady beside him to go and get the information, and then said to Chen Lun with a smile:

"Of course, I personally have a big vacant apartment on my hands, if you don't dislike it, I can give it to you as a gift......"

"You're so gracious, Mr. Todd."

Chen Lun smiled back, but shook his head.

"No need, I'll just pick a manor from the information in a while, and I won't take it for nothing, it's as much as it should be."

Todd wanted to say something, but Chen Lun raised his hand to stop him.

"Although Rosa and I are good friends, business is business, and we can't let the Dragon Chamber of Commerce lose money...... Reciprocity is the truth of long-term relationships, isn't it, Mr. Todd. ”

"Of course, this is the essence of business, and it is really enviable that President Rosa has a friend like you."

Todd complimented.

Then, the young and beautiful welcome lady trotted over with a stack of documents, handed the materials to Todd, and Todd presented them to Chen Lun with both hands.

Chen Lun thanked him, took the materials, and directly put aside the documents of ordinary houses and apartments. He is not short of money now, and he does not want to wronged himself and his companions and squeeze into a small space.

After a simple round of selection, he chose a manor in the northeast of Peacock City.

It was originally a winery, and the owner was a very tasteful person, but for some reason, he left here and moved to live in another city, thus selling the property to the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

The main reason why Chen Lun likes it is that the place is large enough, and at the same time, in addition to the main villa, there are six servants' houses, vineyards, stables, warehouses, basements and wine cellars, etc., which do not need to be built.

In addition, the estate is not far from the city center and is easily accessible.

The winery is not cheap, with a price tag of 1,368 gold pounds, plus some other taxes and service charges, it costs almost 1,400 gold pounds.

That's nearly five times the price of the manor in Amber City. However, at that time, in order to build a new facility, there was no shortage of money.

"Just this winery."

Chen Lun clicked on the list on the document and said to Todd.

"You're really tasteful, this winery is the right place to live...... Mr. Jack, please wait, it will only take ten minutes, oh no, five minutes, and we will take care of all the formalities for you. ”

Todd said complimentally.

He then vigorously instructed the two male subordinates, took the papers, and entered an office in a hurry.

Not for a moment.

The male subordinate had already walked out with a title deed and a few matching brown paper document bags, and Todd personally handed them over to Chen Lun.

"Mr. Jack, it just so happens that this manor has been idle for too long, and the Chamber of Commerce has decided to deal with it at a discount, so it has adjusted its price to eight hundred gold pounds, I hope you like it."

A smile appeared on Todd's face.

Chen Lun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and secretly said in his heart that he would do things.

"Then I'm really in time, thank you, Mr. Todd."

Quietly, he took out an Imperial Bank voucher, signed it, and handed it to Todd.

"You're welcome, Mr. Jack."

Todd took the black card, personally sent Chen Lun out of the door of the building, and said earnestly:

"You can always come to me if you need anything...... Finally, I wish you and your companions a happy life in Peacock City. ”
