Chapter 263: Linjiang Town
According to the old records, the town of Linjiang in Liao Jinguo was a remote town, where the soil was poor, the population was sparse, there was no large-scale industry and it was not suitable for grazing, and it was supposed to be poor.
But when they entered the town, they were shocked. Although Linjiang Town is not as prosperous as a big city, it is also very lively, and the streets and alleys are crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder. Judging from the clothing, skin color and hair color, they are all tourists, merchants, nomadic poets, and mercenaries from all over the world.
Although there are no high-rise buildings and lights on both sides of the road like in big cities, there are also large and small shops next to each other, and life is booming. From grocery stores to snack shops, from tinkling blacksmith dolls to quiet and mysterious magic appliance shops, from noisy taverns and inns to brothel kilns that breed ambiguity...... All in all, it's more colorful than Kevin Russ Puxelle.
Renon and Erica led the way, Fiona and Silph followed in heavy cloaks and large hoods covering their hair and ears, and at the end of the line was the sensual Gonzas, who looked curiously but with an unhappy expression on his face, as if everyone here owed him millions of gold coins. (The reason why it wants to go with Ronon is because of its curiosity about human society; as for the unpleasant feeling, it comes from the burning eyes and frivolous whistles of the five big and three rough free mercenaries.) )
Long before entering the city, Rainon advised Gonzas not to go or to wear a large cloak like Silph and Fiona. Gonzas snorted and said, "How can I let the reptile thing stain my noble body?" and then ignored Rinon instead.
Entering the city, Gonzas finally realized what it means to be a miserable onlooker, and he couldn't help but regret deeply why he didn't listen to Rinon in the first place, but out of the dragon's pride and pride, it must not bow to those reptiles, so he followed Rainon and them forward. (Reader V: Wouldn't it be nice to change the appearance?Gonzas&Author: Oops, why didn't I think of that?)
After seeing this prosperous scene, Erica asked Ruinon suspiciously: "No, am I mistaken? Is this really Liao Jin's Linjiang Town? How does it look like an international free trade city?" ”
"Who knows? Maybe you're mistaken. Ronon stared at Erica with a wicked smile, "Aren't you going to make a big purchase, Your Majesty the Empress?
"Well, buy something, and stay here for one night before you hit the road!" Erica scratched her head and thought to herself: am I really mistaken?
As soon as they heard about shopping, Fiona and Silver also suddenly came to their senses, and the heavy cloak on their bodies seemed to be light.
"Ruinong's constant space is good, the space is very large, but it lacks the breath of life. Erica walked side by side with Fiona and Silver, and as they walked, they said, "Three large beds should be added and covered with a comfortable velvet ......."
"Plant some flowers and plants, and have a few bonsai ......"
"Silver wants to keep some goldfish!"
"That's a good idea!"
"Why don't you buy some snacks and a game of chess? ”
"yes, yes! I'm going to ......."
As the saying goes, three women in one play, and that's fine, they walked and chatted on their own, completely forgetting about Rainon and Gonzas.
"What the hell are they here for, what about the supplies?" Rainon and Gonzas looked at each other gloomily.
As the sun goes down, Erica and her group go from store to store, and Rainon and Gonzas have more and more packages in their hands.
"Sister Erica, get around us! we're almost gone...... "Ronon poked his head out from behind the bag and gave Erica a pitiful look, "That's all for today!"
"How many things are there? You can't carry them, or are you not a man?" This time, Fiona and Silver also joined Erica's shopping camp, and they united to yell, "Go on!" (Can't carry it?Won't Renon stuff those packages into the spatial ring and constant space?Of course, Renon won't be so stupid, but his spatial ring and constant space have long been stuffed to the brim.) )
"It's okay for you to keep shopping, but don't buy any more things. Rinon pleaded bitterly, five years of practice in the illusion of life had strengthened his body enough to cope with a torture called shopping companions.
"What are we for? we have a lot of things, how is that enough?" asked Erica, puzzled.
"Because...... Money, we're out of money. Saying that, Rui Nong manipulated the qi element to hold up a few copper coins, "That's all there is left, let's simply deal with a bowl of somen noodles per person tonight." ”
"What?" said Erica, causing passers-by to look sideways.
"What's wrong, Sister Erica?" asked Silver, puzzled.
Erica, who was in a petrified state, did not react for half a day. Fiona held her chin in one hand and pondered, "It seems that it's because the money thing is gone." ”
"Money?"
"It's the metalwork that we have to exchange for the shopkeeper when we go to the store to pick up something. Fiona patiently explained that it was clear that as elves, they had no concept of money in human society, nor did they have the concept of buying and selling.
As for Erica, that's because she was born in high society and didn't have the habit of being thrifty at all, and the three of them spent money like water opening the floodgates, and in the blink of an eye, they spent all their savings.
After a while, Erica finally recovered from her petrified state, and she seemed to think of something, with a malicious smile on her face. When Renon saw her, his scalp tingled.
"Rynon!" a greedy glint appeared in Erica's beautiful eyes.
"Yes!"
"I remember you got a lot of good things in the Doom Hills, right?"
"Uh, that ......"
"Sell a small portion of it and we'll be rich!" Erica said, licking her lips. Pampered by Arroyo Constantine since she was a child, she doesn't know how the word "loser" is written.
"What's that?" Suddenly, Gonzas, who had been silent on the sidelines, spoke.
"This ...... The ......," said Rinon speechless, he thought to himself, "I can't say in front of Gonzas that I can only sell the skin, bones, blood, and teeth of his own kind for money......?" The Elven Empress has given us so many fountains of life, and we can make money by selling a few crystal bottles. Suddenly, it dawned on Ryanon that he said, "Did you say so, Sister Erica?" he said as he desperately gave Erica a look.
"Fountain of Life, that's a very useful thing, how can you ......," but soon Erica understood what Renon meant, "as long as you can get money." ”
Seeing that Erica compromised, Renon let out a long sigh.
"The Elven Empress will give you the Fountain of Life in places like the Hills of Doom?" asked Gonzas, confused.
"Uh...... Haha, it's a nice day today!" Ronon said with a smile as he looked up at the sky, his eyes bent into a pair of lewd inverted moons.
"Let's go!" Erica cheered, pointing to the auction house in front of her, "Let's go!"
"I think we'll have to find a hotel to drop off our things first......"
"Useless things, a few more bags will make it difficult for you to be like this?
"I'm @#¥%¥......"
If you want to say that you want to find a hotel, it is really too simple, there are three steps and one tavern and five steps and one large hotel on the streets of Linjiang Town, but the amazing thing is that no matter how many hotels there are, they are full of people.
"Hell, is this the legendary impoverished and sparsely populated Linjiang Town?" Erica scratched back and forth with her hands on her head, scratching her long blond hair into a mess.
"Maybe your old map is wrong?" said Ruinon angrily.
"Impossible!"
"Forget it, let's find a store first and then argue about it. Fiona pointed to a dilapidated tavern on her right and said, "Look at there is another one, and even if there is no room available, you can ask for news here." ”
"That's right!, let's go!" said Ruinon, and ran over at a quickened pace.
"Hey, are you sure you want to stay in such a shabby inn?" Erica frowned dissatisfiedly.
"This is the last house, I don't know if there is a vacant room in Lu Road. "Ruinon and his party have reached the end of the street.
"There are more than 20 hotels on one street, and they are full of houses, what kind of wind is blowing?" and Erica followed despite all the reluctance in her heart.
It's a small inn called Shunmo Tavern, with a very shabby sign, dull handwriting, and a small storefront, which belongs to the kind that will be overlooked if you don't look carefully. The gray wooden doors were covered with cracks, and the smooth handles had faded to the touch.
Pushing the door in, you are greeted by a strong tobacco smell mixed with alcohol and a noisy noise. The small space is crowded with all kinds of characters. They clinked glasses to each other, laughed loudly, and drank them off, talking loudly in all languages.
The women who live by selling their bodies shuttle among them, they are lightly dressed, and they tease everyone's attention from time to time. However, after Thanon entered the door, the tavern suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the door.
"Uh......" Renon put down the tall package and laughed, "Don't worry about me, you go on!"
"Idiot, who cares about you?"
"That's right, get out of the way, you're blocking your view!"
"Stinky boy, get out of here!" a group of rude men shouted at the top of their throats. Of course, it is impossible for those people's eyes to focus on Rinon and the focus of their eyes is on Gonzas behind Rinon.
