Chapter 796: Assumption
After several hours of walking, the two arrived at the nearest Cangshan gathering place.
This is a medium-sized gathering place, divided into two areas, the outer area is not curfew, but there is a law enforcement team to maintain order, and the inner area is heavily guarded, and strangers are not allowed to enter easily.
Among them, the outer area is a free trade zone, the scope of trade is very broad, and there is no transaction restrictions, there is no concept of prohibition, the only restriction here is that there can be no conflict, there is a contradiction can find the law enforcement team, do it without permission, and kill without forgiveness.
The rules are simple and crude, and even a little unkind, but it is precisely this kind of rules that has made this gathering place develop, from small to medium-sized in just a few years, and even touched the edge of a large gathering place in terms of the number of floating populations.
Stability brings wealth, and the leaders of the settlements obviously understand this truth deeply.
Not only that, but within a radius of nearly ten kilometers around the gathering place, all the grass and trees have been cleared, and the entire field of vision can be seen at a glance, which also prevents the idea of people killing people around the gathering place.
As for the farther away, such a large area, if you are still killed, then it doesn't matter about the gathering place.
When she was three kilometers closer to the gathering place, some skinny children gathered around, and they were very thin, and even looked malnourished at a glance, but in fact, she didn't eat a lot, just because of "evolution", ordinary things, it was difficult to provide her with enough nutrition.
Her physical fitness, her explosiveness, is far beyond ordinary people.
These children are simply thin.
One of the children came up directly and asked if they needed help carrying the goods or being a guide.
Sora shook his head directly and refused.
Empty-handed, dragging the prey, came to a corner on the edge of the outer area, there is a grocery store, in fact, it is a grocery store, it is not accurate, it also takes care of the tavern, black market commissioned tasks, message sales ......, and so on.
The owner of the grocery store is a thin old man, thin like a skeleton, but with a sharp temperament.
There are no ordinary people who can open a store in this place.
It is rumored that the owner of the grocery store was the first person to wake up sixty years ago, and even entered the city's decision-making circle for a time, but some kind of change happened later, and he was reduced here.
The identity of the boss is true or false, and there are different opinions.
But there is one point, that is, for decades, it is not that the strong dragon who has not crossed the river wants to fight the boss, but as a result, the boss is still the boss, but the strong dragon is gone.
When Sora approached the grocery store, he didn't attract much attention, but as soon as Zhao Cheng walked in, the entire space was quiet, and even many people's breathing was stagnant.
Zhao Cheng did not highlight the so-called strong temperament, but the height of nearly two meters, the strong body, and the white-gold hair, platinum eyes, and white-gold veins were all revealed, and the fact that he was powerful.
But to say that the biggest reaction was the boss, and after his expression changed a few times, he still respectfully welcomed Zhao Cheng in.
It's just that his expression changed, but it was not because Zhao Cheng said that he was strong, but because Zhao Cheng came with Kong.
His identity is not simple, he is the emperor of the empire, leaving his youngest daughter as a guard.
Indeed, in order to avoid the influence of the apocalyptic forces, he lost his memory and his powers, but remembered his mission.
In short, this is also an important NPC in the early stages of the story.
And the reason why he left Sora to act on his own was an order from the Emperor, and he was only responsible for protecting, not interfering in Sora's life.
As for the previous wild wolf pack, it was an accident, originally this area, there was no such thing, it was an accident, because the changes in the depths of the wilderness made the wild wolf pack migrate outward.
Otherwise, there should be no beast that can threaten the sky in this area now.
Close to the city circle, the city will be regularly cleaned of nearby powerful creatures.
Zhao Cheng and Kong appeared together, which had to make him think more, and more importantly, Zhao Cheng was so large-scale
is deformed, and can still maintain a general human form, which means that his spiritual cultivation must have reached a transcendent state of sanctification, as for why it is probable, naturally who knows if Zhao Cheng's place covered by robes has scale armor?!
"My lord, this is your loot in exchange."
After a while, he handed a few banknotes and coins to Zhao Cheng.
This is the currency issued in the city, because there is no imitation technology in the wilderness, and it is considered to be the most stable currency.
Zhao Cheng did not shirk and accepted the coin, but he took out a few coins, the smallest unit of the banknote is 10, the largest unit of the coin is 5, a few coins, just nine points.
Nine points of currency are nothing in the city, but in the wilderness, the purchasing power is very strong.
A little currency is enough for a family of three, eat the worst food, and live for a week.
"Let's eat together." Zhao Cheng made an invitation.
"No, I can't accept gifts from others for no reason." Empty shake head.
"It's not a gift but a thanks, the prey already belongs to me after the battle, but it was you who helped me drag it back, and it was you who served as my guide and brought me to this gathering place." Zhao Cheng said.
Sora pondered for a moment, nodded, and sat down at the table.
And when the boss saw such a scene, his expression became more and more serious, what is such a strong man treating an ordinary girl like this? !
Could it be that the other party has found something?!
In his cognition, the strong have only domination over the weak, and the elephant will not become friends with ants, and if a strong person is good to a weak person for no reason, it can only prove that the strong man has great plans.
It's just that he can't figure out Zhao Cheng's path, otherwise he will definitely eliminate Zhao Cheng directly, regardless of whether he is good or evil.
"Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng, where is this?"
"And who's that girl on the other side, your illegitimate daughter?!"
"Unexpectedly, I only slept for a while, and you were outside, and there were other pendants, even the child......
"It hurts! It hurts so much!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Zhao Cheng's ears.
It is the pendant of the king of light, this pendant, after sleeping for a long time, actually woke up at this time.
And as soon as she woke up, she began to talk nonsense and bad words.
"How did you make that assumption?" Zhao Cheng responded with thoughts.
In fact, the mind of the Lord of Light, in front of him, can also be transparent, but for those close to him, he will not read the other person's mind unless necessary, which is a kind of respect.
Therefore, at this moment, for a moment, Zhao Cheng really couldn't understand how the Lord of Light came to such a conclusion.
