A cold wind blew through the streets, and by the time Peter came out of the exchange, it was already dark.

After the fourth expansion, Liberty City has expanded a lot more than before, and even the streets have changed from two-horse lanes to four-horse lanes.

On the edge of the city there are even more buildings, which surround the edge of the city like sentinels.

The lower ones are the arrow towers, made of solid hardwood, with archers on them.

The taller buildings resemble stone pillars, but in fact they are far from being as simple as pillar buildings, but rather a kind of magical structure, with the bottom exposed to the ground like a saucer, and below the ground it is connected to the underground magic circle of Liberty City.

The magic array can provide this magic stone pillar with energy, constantly emitting various rays equivalent to second-level spells or third-level spells, scorching rays or frost rays.

Since it was night, there were not many pedestrians on the street now, and the loud giggles of a few orcs holding each other's shoulders in the distance were particularly harsh.

Peter subconsciously pulled his collar and quickened his feet away from the orcs.

Luckily, those orcs seem to be Munks, and they're not as bad as the Bills.

The most annoying are the Bills, who are fine if they don't get drunk, and when they get drunk, they either fight or sing.

The thing is, fuck, the Bills have never had a Warsong Priest.

Are they singing, they're howling.

In the past three years, there have been more and more orcs in the Free City, of course, not every orc wants to come in and come in, they have to have the badge issued by the Free City.

Applying for a badge gives you access to the Free City to shop and stay, and the Orcs have begun to accept Terran currency as a valuable possession, on a par with the herds they raise.

Since the day when the orc trade group began to accept some payment in currency from the Free City for trade three years ago, and was treated harshly in the city, and spent a lot of money unconsciously, currency is no longer useless in their eyes, but can be exchanged for some beautiful things, such as the Shadow animation that the Fox noblewoman is obsessed with.

Monetization was initially only accepted and used by orc nobles, but with the implementation of the pass system, the middle and lower classes of orcs also had the opportunity to follow their own lords into the city of the human race.

When you enter this city, you can't do without currency, otherwise those beautiful things can only be seen and touched.

The bulk trade with the orcs was still controlled by the city lord's mansion represented by Franklin, but every orc who entered the city would bring some private goods in and trade secretly.

Under the secret instruction of the City Lord's Mansion, the city guards were not so strict with the orcs who brought smuggled goods into the city that they were not close to people, as long as they were not allowed to see the smuggled goods at the first glance, they might get by.

And if the people who were trading in smuggling were willing to hide in the depths of the alleys, or if they scattered at the sound of their footsteps, the guards would not have to arrest them.

The implementation of the pass system will definitely lead to smuggling, but allowing a certain amount of smuggling will allow more orcs to slowly accept the currency, which is what Wang Qinian originally gave to Franklin.

At first, the orcs would only exchange items that they were interested in, but soon they realized that their goods could be exchanged for various Terran coins because they wanted to watch the latest Shadow anime.

The Grand Theater will not accept buying tickets with animal skins or other private goods, not to mention Wang Qinian's resolute prohibition, even from a business point of view, Mr. Obier will not allow it, it is too inconvenient.

And the tickets for the Shadow Animation have always been sought-after, and there is no need to agree to barter in order to make orcs money like some black-hearted peddlers, so that it is convenient to receive goods from orcs who do not know how to do it with a clear conscience.

The orcs of the middle and lower classes also began to accept the coins of the Terrans from the Shadow Animation, and they no longer thought that they were useless, and slowly realized that it was a very convenient "goods", because not only could this "goods" be exchanged for all other goods of the Terrans, but this kind of goods seemed to be used as a standard to measure the value of other items.

So from then on, the orcs who could enter the city brought their private goods into the city, and then secretly sold them, and then used the money from the sale to watch the latest Shadow animation, drink a drink, and try some special gadgets that only exist in the Terran city, such as what sauna, the Terrans made the bath so complicated but comfortable.

After enjoying this qiē, the orcs reluctantly leave Free City and return to their hometown to boast that they have seen the latest Shadow animation, which was shown earlier than Hammer.

But in fact, for the middle and lower class orcs, because there are too few private goods that can be carried at a time, the Free City has not completely relaxed the restrictions, and their smuggling income is only enough for them to enjoy in the city for a day or two.

The only ones who can really enjoy themselves in the city for a long time are the orcs who have status in various tribes like they can enter the orc trade group, like Beatrice, the noble daughter of Fawkes, has bought a house in Free City, but her desire to become the orc trade ambassador in Free City has been disappointed, because her grandfather firmly disagrees, unless she can become a priest smoothly, so although the house is in her name, it has now become the foothold of the orc trade group every time it enters the city, but the most amazing thing is that the Fox woman has learned to collect rent.

This is the good side, and of course there is the bad side.

The arrival of the orcs brought some noise and discord to the city, and the middle and lower class orcs were even more rude, often squandering their money in a single day after selling their bootlegged.

Almost every orc goes to see the Shadow anime, but in addition to watching the Shadow anime, they also like to drink and fight.

Whenever there was a fight, the guards in the city would arrive as quickly as possible, subdue the fighting orcs, and throw them to the "detention center" in the southeast corner.

According to Wang Qinian's construction, part of the original slum area of the Free City was carved out and simple but unusually sturdy houses were built.

When you look at the house, you will understand what it means to be simple but unusually strong, and the walls that make up the house are all heavy stones, which are completely unpolished, and the windows that are breathable are so small that even the Ruts can't get out.

Every fighting orc will bring iron shackles and throw them directly into this kind of small black room, and it will be closed for at least three days, during which no food will be given, only two glasses of water a day, no matter how you call it, it is useless.

The orcs began to resist, but the resistance without the organizers was no match for the suppression of the city guards, and Franklin, who had long anticipated the temper of the orcs, could not have been unprepared, as early as the implementation of the pass system, the daily security in the city was strengthened, and even the inner city guards and personal guards participated in patrols.

So they complained to the nobles of their tribe, and even to the Rhine.

However, Rhine and the tribal leaders told the dissatisfied orcs that this was an agreement with the Terrans, and the Terrans had to abide by the rules of the Orcs when they came to the Orcs' territory, and when the Orcs arrived in the Terran city, they either entered the city to abide by the rules of the Terrans, or they could return the Freedom Badge and no longer go to the Terran cities.

This happened more than once, and in the end Sidipat had to tell all the orcs that if all the orcs found the agreement with the Free City difficult to keep, they could revert to the previous state and trade with the Free City only by the tribal trade groups.

As a result, the orcs were dumb, joking, and reverted to their previous state.

It is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.

When the orcs have seen the prosperity of the Free City, who wants to go back to the days when there was no wine to drink and no shadow animation to watch?

It doesn't seem right to follow someone else's rules on someone else's territory.

Since then, the orcs still smuggle into the city, still drink, still fight, but also still be thrown into the little black house.

It was in these days of pain and pleasure that the orcs slowly got used to many "rules", and gradually understood that the so-called rules were not only for orcs, but to ensure the "freedom" of everyone in the free city.

Of course, this is just a certain process of being honest with the orcs, and it cannot be completely eliminated, in fact, public security incidents are still frequent.

There are many orc tribes coming to the Free City now, and the most personable one is considered to be the Rhine.

The Rhines generally come to the Free City because of the business of the trade group, as the upper tribe of the Western Beast Plain, the Rhine rarely smuggles, and face is always the most important, of course, if there is occasional Rhine smuggling, the city guards usually pretend not to see it.

Fawkes also disdains smuggling, and in fact the Fawkes come to Liberty City very rarely, second only to the Hawk Hawks, who only come to Liberty City when the latest Shadow anime is released.

Fox is similar, Fox who came to Liberty City is almost no old, most of them are Beatrice's sisters or best friends, and they are very fond of Salomon Company's films, and they can't wait to see every new movie as soon as possible.

The worst image can only be the Bills, because they like to fight the most, and as third-order creatures, they even have headaches for the inner city guards, and there is a squadron of Franklin's personal guards who are responsible for suppressing the Bills, or other relatively high-level orcs.

However, under the pass system, the number of powerful orcs like the Bill entering the Free City is always limited, under the coordinated supervision of the city guards and the personal guards, and this is a human city, even if the orcs want to riot, with the help of the magic array of the underground base, it can be quickly quelled.

Peter had to take a detour through a street to avoid the drunken orcs in front of him, and he didn't want to get in trouble.

Due to the detour, he had to walk a longer distance to reach the food shops in the city.

Although he felt hungry, he was so excited that he wanted to scream at this time, because he had finally obtained a membership in the Commodity Exchange of Liberty City.

The Commodity Exchange was built three years ago, and it was almost completed a year later when merchants began to settle in.
