Chapter 3: The City of Falk (Part I)
Stepping out of the Malayas Mountains, you will see an endless plain with patches of farmland dotted over it, with vertical and horizontal ditches dividing the farmland into neat squares, and the farmland is filled with a variety of crops. It's early summer, and the green fields are full of hard-working farmers busy with the autumn harvest.
Heading northeast, the sight was the same everywhere you went. This kind of scene is very different from the imagination of the three people before they came to the territory of the beasts, and I really wonder if I am walking in the realm of humans. Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Tianqi asked suspiciously: "Is this the territory of the beast clan?
Shaking his head, Zhou Sheng said, "I don't know, there is no record of this in the imperial data. Those materials only recorded the military situation of the beasts, and the record of production and construction was blank. Coupled with the fact that no one has entered orc territory in a long time, I think we are the first humans to see the truth here. β
Further north, a road began to appear in front of me, lined with two rows of tall trees, like a green dragon. It is a dirt road, about five meters wide, and the road surface has been repeatedly crushed to become as hard as iron and can carry heavy vehicles through it.
Walking along the road, walking in the shade of the trees, the breeze blows, bringing a burst of grain fragrance, which makes people feel indescribably pleasant. Sitting under a big tree on the side of the road, breathing in the fresh air here, all three of them were a little intoxicated. After a while, Liu Yu stood up and said, "Okay, it's time for us to continue on the road." β
As we walked on, the scenery on the side of the road did not change much, and the number of people began to increase. From time to time, pedestrians rushed by, and there were more vehicles on the road, and the convoy full of supplies was moving quickly towards the north. Seeing that it was close to noon, Liu Yu stopped a young man who was hurrying in front of him and asked, "Big brother, how far is it to the town ahead?"
"It's not far, and it's a dozen miles further from here to Fark City. You can hurry up and make it to lunch. The young man looked at the sky and said.
"Thank you, big brother, for your advice. Liu Yu thanked him, turned back to Zhou Sheng and Zhang Tianqi and said, "Let's go quickly, let's go to Fake City and rest again." β
A dozen miles of road was not very far for the three of them, and after a while, a huge city could be seen at the end of the road. Hurried a few steps and came to the city, only to see an endless stream of people and vehicles coming in and out, a busy scene. The gate was 10 meters high and 20 meters wide, and could accommodate four carts carrying goods side by side. Above the city gate are carved three large red characters "Falk City". There was no familiar moat under the city walls, and a square was paved with large bluestone strips in front of the city walls, and the square was full of stalls, and countless small traders were selling their goods.
Walking into the city gate, there were no soldiers guarding there on either side, showing a prosperous scene of peace in the world. The three of them slowly walked into the city gate, posing leisurely, looking east and west, and stopping from time to time to discuss. Passing through the city gate, there is a street that leads to the center of the city. The street is wider than the city gates, and it is lined with shops and dazzling signs. There are guys standing in front of the store, shouting loudly to attract the attention of customers.
Walking forward along the street, Liu Yu and the three were deeply shocked. Who said that the orcs could only be invincible on the battlefield? And this is just an ordinary city in the Orc Territory of Walker Province near the Malayas Mountains, I really don't know what kind of prosperity Wall, the capital of Walker Province, will be?
The further you walk into the city center, the bigger and more opulent the shops on both sides of the road become. The people walking on the street are all monkeys like Liu Yu and them, and occasionally you can see one or two orcs of other races, and they are all nobles among the beasts. Walking forward with the crowd, no one looked at them more, and everyone hurried by, looking extremely busy.
"How to solve the problem of gold coins?" Zhou Sheng suddenly remembered the problem they were facing now, "Now we don't even have a copper plate of the beast clan on our bodies, what can we use to buy food?" Before entering the territory of the beast clan, they didn't expect to be able to walk in the city of the beast clan so openly, so they didn't think of preparing the beast coins. Although I was ready to rob the orc nobles last night, I couldn't just rob it in the daytime! It's noon now, and it's time to eat, so why can't I have an open-air barbecue in Falk City?
"Do we have anything of value? Let's get some gold coins for help. Zhang Tianqi came up with an idea.
"We only carry weapons and equipment, and we can't exchange these things for money. I don't think anyone needs the dried meat they brought. Liu Yu said helplessly.
"Why don't we find a pharmacy and sell that bear bile for a little money?" Zhou Sheng remembered that he also had a bear bile in his collection, and proposed.
"Can this work? Although bear bile is a good thing in our country, but this is the territory of the orc clan, I wonder if bear bile is considered a contraband?" Liu Yu said a little uneasy.
"There should be no problem, since they are so prosperous here, I believe there will always be some businessmen who do illegal business, not to mention that we don't know if this is illegal. Look at the situation first, and then think of other ways. Zhou Sheng said with confidence.
"That's all there is to it, but be careful, and evacuate if the situation is not good. Liu Yu instructed.
With a goal, things are easy to do, and when they found out the location of the largest pharmacy in Falk City, the three of them went straight to it. After turning three or four streets, I was greeted by the largest pharmacy in Falk City. It was a four-storey building, and the dΓ©cor was so splendid that it was hard for anyone who didn't know to imagine that it was a drugstore. On the signboard hanging on the roof of the building, the three gilded characters of "Rejuvenation Hall" are dancing with dragons and phoenixes, which is obviously not the handwriting of ordinary people.
Walking up the eighteenth floor of the steps before coming to the front gate, on the left and right of the door stood four young girls of the rabbit tribe, wearing pale pink dresses, all of them were more than 1.75 meters tall, with sweet looks and sweet smiles on their faces. Seeing Liu Yu and them walking up, one of the rabbit girls said: "Three sons, what do you need help?" Her voice was like a yellow bird out of the valley, and her crisp voice carried infinite tenderness, which made people feel both pleasant and incomparably cordial.
"We want to sell some medicinal herbs, I don't know if you accept them here?" Hearing the girl's inquiry, Liu Yu hurriedly said his purpose.
"It turns out that the three sons are here to sell medicinal herbs, please come with me. After speaking, he opened the door and let Liu Yu and the others into the store.
After entering the shop, the rabbit girl led the way and led the three of them straight to the door of the first room on the second floor up the stairs. After knocking on the door, the rabbit girl asked softly, "Mr. Shi, are you there?"
A loud voice came from the room: "Xiaoru, why do you have time to come over, don't you have to be on duty?"
"Mr. Shi, it's like this, three sons came to our store and said that there were medicinal herbs for sale. I don't think they're ordinary, and I don't think they're ordinary people, so I've had the audacity to bring them to you. The rabbit girl who was called Xiaoru by Mr. Shi said.
Mr. Shi said "oh": "Xiaoru, you are still so well-behaved." Bring them in, and I'll see them in your face. β
"Thank you, Mr. Shi. After speaking, Xiao Ru gently pushed open the door and invited Liu Yu and the three of them in.
After introducing Liu Yu and Mr. Shi to each other, Xiaoru bowed slightly to Mr. Shi: "Mr. Shi, you are busy first, I won't bother you, I will come to see you when I have time." Then he turned to Liu Yu and the three of them and said, "Three sons, Mr. Shi is the best pharmacist in our store, if you want to sell medicinal materials, Mr. Shi will definitely give you a fair price." I won't delay your business, you and Mr. Shi can talk slowly. After speaking, he bowed slightly to the three of them, and then exited the room and closed the door gently.
When Xiao Ru walked out of the room, Mr. Shi coughed lightly and said, "Okay, what kind of medicinal materials do you want to sell, you can take them out for me to see." β
After Zhou Sheng and Liu Yu glanced at each other, Zhou Sheng came to Mr. Shi, and in front of Mr. Shi, he took out a wide-mouth crystal bottle from his space ring and put it on the table in front of Mr. Shi.
At first, he looked at the crystal bottle very casually, and when he saw the contents of the crystal bottle clearly, Mr. Shi stood up suddenly, pointed at Zhou Sheng and said, "Say, who are you? How can there be this thing?"
"We're just here to do business. Mr. Shi, what do you think of this thing? Are you still satisfied?" Seeing Mr. Shi's reaction, Zhou Sheng did not panic, and still said unhurriedly.
