In the winter of 751 in the Aramanian calendar, the twin towers of the gate, the abyss side, and the Yi market.

Jik, a young man from the Brotherhood, walks in this magical city that has been perfected by demons and humans. Because the main purpose of the city was to trade between humans and demons, it was named 'Yi City'.

Because the environment of the abyss is quite special, even if the complete abyss gate does not make any restrictions on the creatures below the god level, it is very difficult for ordinary people to live in the abyssal environment.

Air with the smell of sulfur. The seasons are like summer, and the climate is unbearably hot. It is so dry that no matter what time it is, the throat will be dry. These are quite unfriendly to humans who are used to living in the Lost Land.

If you are too weak, I am afraid that if you stay in the abyss for a while, you will be seriously ill when you go back. Therefore, if you want to move in the abyss, you must either have good physical fitness, or let a magician or magic apprentice put on an environmental adaptation type of magic for yourself.

Jike belongs to the kind of person who is in good health, but he came to Yi City on the side of the abyss, half for a mission within the Brotherhood. The other half are the adults who help the compradors, giving the trade books to the demons.

Comprador is a unique regional chamber of commerce that has emerged in Yishi for more than a year, and basically does not go out of the scope of the twin towers.

In view of the transactions between ordinary people and demons, they are often cheated into losing both people and money. It doesn't matter if the money is gone, sometimes even I lose myself.

Then the owner of the magic tower irresponsibly refused to ensure the fairness of the transaction and the safety of humans, so some people who were sure of a normal transaction with the demon jumped out and acted as middlemen.

Specifically, the comprador will buy the goods of the Lost Land Merchant, and then trade with the Devil, and then sell the goods to the Lost Land Merchant. They earn the difference in the middle, but at the risk of trading with demons.

Another reason why this type of business is accepted is that the Abyssal Demons are not in the habit of using coins, and still maintain barter. However, between the merchant and the comprador of the land, the settlement is settled with the coins of the goddess of gold coins.

This is much more convenient for ordinary small merchants, otherwise they will have to find their own way to sell the goods they trade with the demons. For compradors, it is also more convenient to negotiate by collecting large quantities of goods. To the Devil...... The demons are not bad.

In short, such a comprador is not the same as the comprador that arose after the end of the nineteenth century.

The latter is because foreigners are too lazy to trade with people who don't understand the language, so they appoint some brokers who can communicate as their agents to trade. This kind of comprador has a high-minded attitude because he is backed by foreigners.

The demon is willing to trade with anyone, even with a seemingly humble attitude. But the rest of the humans are scared, so they would rather make less money and let the bold and clever ones negotiate deals with the demons.

But don't think that being a comprador is so stable, there are often compradors who are trapped and become missing persons, and the devil also knows how to put a long line and catch a big fish. But as long as you are brave enough, your mind is clear, and you can earn a few hands, you can accumulate a rich net worth.

The work that Jike does is to pass the book of trade between the comprador humans and the demons. The reason why we don't talk face-to-face about transactions is because the demon often uses charm in the process of trading, making people confuse and agree to some very outrageous conditions.

Such behavior is not prohibited by the Magic Tower. Therefore, in order to avoid being confused by magic, some humans who have little self-confidence use this kind of middleman communication method for transactions with demons.

On the side of the abyss, most of the Yi City is an area with a large number of demons, another part is mostly humans, and only a small part is a mixture of humans and demons. The parties to the transaction do not necessarily stay somewhere, so sometimes the letter has to be sent far away, sometimes it is close.

Because it is impossible to negotiate a pre-transaction communication in just one or two exchange letters, there is a lot of activity for a messenger like Jike.

And because the abyss environment is not something that everyone can stay in, so to be able to become a messenger, you have a certain level of physique.

Generally speaking, members who can become registered members of the Adventurer's Guild or Mercenary Guild are eligible for this job. However, such people may not be able to afford jobs such as messengers, so there is a shortage of manpower.

Some humans who go into battle to talk to demons about business sometimes are not very confident in their own strength and are not afraid of being seduced by magic; It's really because there is no one to run errands, so I have to chase the ducks on their own.

At this time, the holy city of Estali, a small school opened by a certain magician, and the talents cultivated by the strange way of education were very popular.

In the early stages of elementary school, the educated children will be involved in various fields, from knowledge to magic and martial arts. At least there will be no shortage of physical strength. In the words of a certain magician, if you can't win, you have to escape.

Wait until your child confirms his or her expertise and interests, and then start special training. It took about a year or two in between. Some children feel that it is not suitable to change to other programs after they are divided into majors. Basically, elementary schools do not prevent such behavior.

That is to say, children from primary school, because of the relationship between nutrition and fitness, have very good physical fitness, and also practice basic martial arts. There is also a basic understanding of literacy, arithmetic and other skills in doing business.

And then not everyone is keen on the adventurous life of fighting and killing. Therefore, in Yi City, this kind of outside feeling is very dangerous, in fact, it is just more physically exhausting, and it does not require any mental work, so it has become a graduation choice for some older children.

Because of the special environment and the special objects of contact, the salary of the messenger job is very good for some older children who have just lived independently.

And while they walk the streets, they can also collect some news about needs or goods and sell them to interested compradors. That's a good extra buck.

Otherwise, those human compradors can only risk contact with demons in areas where humans and demons are mixed, to find suitable trading partners for their goods and make initial contacts.

Although no matter what the abyss produces, it will make money by pulling it back. But different things will still have the problem of earning more and earning less. Some in-demand goods are, of course, the target of everyone's scramble. So business intelligence is still very important.

Walk down the street in Yi Shili, the demon area. Occasionally, a female succubus would be wisps of light veil, leaning against the door of the room, seducing demons or humans who came and went.

The skin and meat trade is also considered an open trade here. There are many 'braves' who came to the Yi City on the side of the abyss to taste the taste of demons. Some people can go back, others just stay, or stay permanently......

Jike was not afraid of these things, but greeted some familiar demons warmly. After all, if you want to know information, you need to ask more directly than to see. So if you want to make extra money, you can't be afraid to communicate with demons.

Anyway, as long as you remember one thing, that is, don't promise the demon anything, then you can avoid the pit dug by the demon to the greatest extent. No violence is allowed in the city, and there is a magic tower to supervise it, even indoors.

Jike just wants to be a messenger and sell some information to make extra money. I didn't think that like some adventurers, after being a messenger for a long time, I thought about starting a comprador business.

The main reason is that Jike came to fight the outpost when the magic array city was first established. What happened to many merchants who traded with the Abyss Demons, and Jike had seen a lot.

People who basically can't control their greed, even if they can make money in the early stage, they can't live to enjoy it. One of the most famous negative examples of Yi Shi is the great merchant from the affiliated tribes of the Sulitan Empire, the Great John.

The transaction behavior is bound to be exchanged between the two parties with their own needs. The Maze needs a variety of mineral specialties from the Abyss, and the Abyss needs the blood food that the Maze provides to it.

The source of blood food is the best of the Demonic Beasts, followed by the ordinary Beasts. But at most, and the Sulitão Empire is the most proficient, is all kinds of domesticated cattle, sheep, horses, and pigs.

The highest level is, of course, all kinds of Homo sapiens, including humans, elves, dwarves, and so on. It's just that these 'goods' that can be used to trade with demons are taboo by default.

Warcraft have the same disadvantage as ordinary beasts, that is, they are obtained by hunting, and the number is limited. And many times it can only be disposed of and then sold. The devil receives the goods, the living one is one price, and the dead are another price. He who can take the living will not accept the dead.

Therefore, the Sulitan Empire, which was dominated by animal husbandry, took advantage of the proximity to the water, and the already developed industries became more vigorous. It is precisely because of this that the Empire's hostility towards the Magic Tower has dropped significantly, and it has even joined it.

Without this interest, it is estimated that the hatred of the army of 500,000 will continue for several generations. Now there are still people who hate the existence of the Twin Towers of the Gate, but there is money to be made, isn't it fragrant?

And John was one of the first to become compradors, and he was himself a rancher. Because some small ranchers are afraid of being pitted by demons, they come to hang him and make some money. He himself is a hand-holder, making some difference.

It is this kind of behavior that inspires others, which is why comprador groups have emerged. And these people who have the ability to make a deal with the devil and get out of it will of course be touted by everyone. The heart is unconsciously bigger.

Human desires are unlimited, and some people will indulge these desires, which can be called greed. John the Great, who has a big heart, belongs to such a person. Especially now that the southern borders of the Sulitan Empire are to be re-established, he needs more money to operate and gain status.

At the suggestion of the devil, he started a forbidden business. At first, he was sneaky, and in the middle of the night, he hid the captured people in boxes and sent them through the abyss gate on pack horses. Also trade at night.

Later, in broad daylight, a string of people were chained. There are goblins, half-orcs and other undesirable Homo sapiens, and more are so thin that they are like poor people who have not eaten enough for a long time, sent to the abyss.

No matter what the magic tower does, the other big forces don't know what to do for a while. And the Sulitão Empire was even better taken care of by Big John, and vaguely became its backer.

After all, for the nation founded by this people on horseback, it was almost natural to hunt slaves. It's just that now I don't do it, and I don't need to say slaves. But if you want to arrest someone, it's still very simple, and there is no psychological burden at all.

With such a bargain, Big John has of course become a sharp figure in the eyes of the devil, and he can eat everywhere. As a result, the power has swelled, and there is a faint tendency to become a hegemon in the market.

But he didn't realize that maybe all of this was deliberately done by the devil.
