After more than a decade of peaceful development, the large settlement, which was originally established by a group of homeless war refugees, has developed to the point where it is necessary to build a city as soon as possible to protect it.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the armed invasion of the three surrounding countries, and the bandits and pirates in this vicinity would not have spared the inhabitants living here, as well as the huge wealth they have accumulated through years of business.

So, about 100 years ago, refugees living in the area faced a very real problem.

That is, if they don't build a city, then their lives and property will not be guaranteed, and they may be looted by bandits and pirates at any time.

But if you want to build a city, you need a lot of money and goods, as well as a lot of human resources.

Then the question arises, where should we go up and find it, so much money and possessions?

Money is small, but the most important thing is the safety of life.

So after a whole year of bickering and quarrelling, it was finally passed, and the ultimate task of building the city was handed over, and the three large chambers of commerce with the most powerful strength in the settlement at that time were jointly brought forward by them, and then the residents of the whole city contributed together.

Everyone worked together to build a city, which is now Blackwater City.

Of course, as the executors of the city's construction tasks, the three large chambers of commerce also undertook more than half of the money and property investment, and the vacant part was shared by the residents of the city.

And in return on investment, all the residents agreed, and the three large chambers of commerce were jointly formed, the City Lord's Mansion, and all those who contributed money would automatically obtain the residence qualification of Blackwater City.

Then, it will be managed by this city lord's mansion in a unified manner, and the military and political affairs in Blackwater City will be managed.

As a result, there are many public facilities such as the city defense army, the city court, and the government council.

And from that time on, Blackwater City was real, with a city that should look like.

Today's Blackwater City has a resident population of more than five million, and a large number of caravans come to Blackwater City every day to do business.

It can be said that today's Blackwater City has reached an unprecedented level of prosperity, and it can almost be compared with the kings of the three major countries.

And such a bustling small city naturally attracts many bad people and ill-intentioned eyes.

In less than a hundred years since the founding of the city, Blackwater City has experienced dozens of siege wars, large and small, although in the end, with the elite guards left by the three major chambers of commerce, they successfully repelled the enemy, but the elite guards of that year have already suffered casualties.

Today's city defense army is mainly formed by the descendants of the three large chambers of commerce, and their actual combat effectiveness is comparable to that of ordinary citizens.

Although there is a large amount of military expenditure and sufficient number of people, but because in the past ten years, there has been no major war, so today's city defense army is dispensable, the real number of people, less than one-tenth of that year, less than 10,000.

With such a small number of people, he can't even fill all three walls of Blackwater City, let alone defend the city.

The most troublesome thing is that when Blackwater City was building the city wall, it didn't think about it at all, and on the side of the sea, the city wall also needs to be repaired, so the current dock area is equivalent to a weakness that has no defense at all.

Once attacked, from the sea, Blackwater City is destined to be destroyed.

Therefore, for the threat from the sea, the people of the City Lord's Mansion will seem to be very concerned, and they will send people to the sea to reconnoiter the enemy's situation as soon as possible.

As a result, I got the information that hundreds of pirate ships were now gathering on the sea, and more ships were constantly joining the assembly.

After getting such information, the bigwigs in the City Lord's Mansion in Blackwater City all became nervous, and they were almost about to become a mess.

It's just that these things are not Cao Yanchao's turn to worry about for the time being.

At this time, Cao Yanchao was following Daddy Bayin, a big and a small, wandering around the commercial street in the dock area together.

Originally, Daddy Bayin was reluctant to do this kind of thing with children, but under the coercion and temptation of Nalan Toya, Daddy Bayin finally compromised.

Although he was still forced to get off the boat, after getting off the boat, Daddy Bayin seemed to have completely let himself go.

took Cao Yanchao very happily, first to the commercial street, and then Daddy Bayin looked around and explained.

"This is just a commercial street belonging to the dock area, and it is also a commercial street that we often come to, but there are as many as thirteen commercial streets of Blackwater City's scale, and each commercial street has its own main business.

The main function of this shopping street like the one we walked on is to sell all kinds of seafood, and basically everything related to the sea can be bought here.

Of course, there are also many public facilities such as weapon shops, magic shops, laboratories, and medical centers.

If you're looking for something magical, head to the city's Magic Street, which specializes in magic, where you can find all things magic-related. ”

Although Cao Yanchao also longed for the things on the magic street, but now his problem was to find a way to live better, so he hesitated for a moment before he said.

"But all my money has been handed over to Sister Nalan, how can I buy things without money?"

Unexpectedly, Daddy Bayin said calmly.

"You don't have to worry about money, Nalan's girl, she has already explained to me, as long as it doesn't exceed 10,000 magic crystal coins, you can buy it with confidence!"

After Cao Yanchao thought about it for a while, he also understood, this is equivalent to giving him a black gold card, which can be swiped casually!

So, Cao Yanchao happily followed Daddy Bayin and started a pleasant shopping trip on the commercial street together.

First of all, he went to the weapon shop, Cao Yanchao first picked out a set of the smallest sword and shield and a dagger for self-protection, although it was not as good as the collection in Miss Nalan's arsenal, it could be regarded as a well-made weapon.

And with the old and strong Daddy Bayin on the side, Cao Yanchao himself doesn't have to worry about being cheated.

And just as Cao Yanchao was about to leave the shop, Daddy Bayin took out a musket from his arms that had turned into a flimpy shape, and then he asked the shopkeeper.

"Boss, this is one of our leader's collections, can you repair it here?"

And after a careful and careful inspection, the shopkeeper spoke.

"Cultivation is naturally possible, but it takes a thousand magic crystal coins, do you think there is still a need to cultivate?"

For a while, Daddy Bayin couldn't help but hesitate, after all, a thousand magic crystal coins is not a small amount, you must know that their monthly commission is only a hundred magic crystal coins.

And if you want to fix an old musket that is useless, you actually ask him for ten months' commission?

With such a big price, Daddy Bayin naturally has to think about it.

You must know that Cao Yanchao picked a set of swords and shields made of stainless steel and a dagger for personal protection, and only spent a hundred magic crystal coins.

Perhaps seeing Daddy Bayin's hesitation, the shopkeeper continued.

"If you don't want to repair it, we still have a lot of muskets here for you to choose from, after all, this is not more than 10,000 years ago, muskets have long been a very popular thing. ”

After hearing this, Cao Yanchao on the side couldn't help but light up his eyes, so he hurriedly said without waiting for Daddy Bayin's reply.

"Really, then take out all your muskets here, shall we?"

When he heard that someone wanted to buy a musket, the shopkeeper was immediately happy, and went to the storeroom to pick out the rags.

And after watching the shopkeeper walk away, Cao Yanchao said to Daddy Bayin.

"Uncle Bayin, I think this gun should be repaired!

Although there are a few thousand magic crystal coins, there are a few more, but this musket, after all, was damaged by me, so the cost of maintenance will be paid by me!"

In fact, Nalan Toya has already confessed that he must repair this musket no matter what, but after all, it is a thousand magic crystal coins, which is still beyond the imagination of Daddy Bayin, because his thoughts are similar to Nalan's.

I think that the musket is just a toy, and it is really not worth spending so much money.

But since Cao Yanchao has already said that he is responsible, Daddy Bayin naturally has no reason to refuse, so he said.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!"

After finishing speaking, Daddy Bayin stuffed the twist-shaped old-fashioned musket to Cao Yanchao, apparently asking him to negotiate with the shopkeeper.

Cao Yanchao nodded understandingly, and then he thought about how to negotiate with the shopkeeper.

It didn't take long for the store owner to walk back with an oversized tray.

The shopkeeper said triumphantly as he walked.

"Although the power of powder guns is not very good, for us ordinary people, they are still very powerful.

So there are already many new styles of muskets now, and if you go somewhere else, you may not be able to find a musket that you can use!

But we're in the docks, and it's not uncommon for sailors to come to me to buy weapons for self-defense, so I've got a couple of the latest muskets here. ”

After finishing speaking, the store owner placed an oversized tray in front of Cao Yanchao.

Then, Cao Yanchao saw that on the tray brought by the store owner, there were three short guns of different shapes and two long guns with strange appearances.

First of all, the first short gun is the same style as the old-fashioned musket that was broken by Cao Yanchao, but there is no gorgeous wood carving on its body.

The second short gun is a somewhat revolver-like musket, yes, at least from the looks of it, it's a revolver.

After seeing this gun, Cao Yanchao immediately picked it up with a look of surprise, but just got his hands on it, he found that it was a little different from what he thought.

Although in terms of mechanics, both are the same, both need to pull the trigger, and then by the hammer, to hit the bullet in the runner, it is difficult to shoot the bullet.

But when Cao Yanchao picked up the revolver, he realized that the weight of the revolver was wrong, it was too light, and there were no bullets in the revolver.

To be precise, there is no Cao Yanchao, the gunpowder bullet he knows.

The essence of this thing is still a magic weapon, after pulling the plate hit, the hammer made of magic crystals will hit the turntable with the magic array, and then it will activate the magic array in the wheel, and you can launch a magic bullet.

This time, it was Cao Yanchao's turn to be embarrassed, but he didn't say that he was a demon killer, but said helplessly.

"But my magic value is very low, so I may not be able to use the magic array on this gun?"

But what Cao Yanchao didn't expect was that the store owner said proudly.

"The situation you mentioned is just a shortcoming of the first generation of magic weapons, but the magic gun I sell belongs to the second generation of magic weapons, even if you are a demon killer, you can still use it.

The specific principle of this is classified information, I won't go into details, you just need to know that when you use this gun, it will not consume your own mana, as long as you can deduct the board hit, you can fire a magic bullet.

Moreover, I also have a variety of magic arrays with different attributes here, so that even if you are using them to deal with magical beasts of different attributes, you can still use them. ”

Cao Yanchao nodded as if he didn't understand, it seems that when he has time in the future, he must go to the magic street to have a good understanding of the magic of this world.

Then, Cao Yanchao turned his gaze to the third short gun, but found that he didn't seem to understand what kind of short gun it was, because its appearance was too ugly.

The gun had not only a wheel on the top of it, but also a replaceable magazine, so he turned his inquiring eyes to the shopkeeper on the side.

The shopkeeper naturally explained with enthusiasm on his face.

"It's actually a dual-purpose pistol, which can be used to fire magic bullets or gunpowder bullets to increase the time of the fight. ”

Then the shop owner operated it himself, and this time Cao Yanchao finally understood how to operate this gun.

So Cao Yanchao turned his attention to the two spears again, saying that they were spears, but in fact, the length of the two spears was not the same.

At this time, the shopkeeper who was standing on the side also continued to explain in a timely manner.

"This slightly shorter spear is also a magic gun, its main feature is that it can continuously fire magic bullets, of course, if you want to fire it continuously, it needs to be supported by a lot of magic power, mainly for medium and long-distance combat.

And this slightly longer spear is also a magic gun, which is characterized by the fact that it can shoot very far, and does not need the support of magic power, and ordinary magic guns can only shoot targets a few hundred meters away, but this spear can easily hit targets five kilometers away.

With such a long shooting distance, it can already be compared to some top-notch magic bows. ”

After hearing this, Cao Yanchao couldn't help but hesitate for a moment before he asked.

"Then how much do you plan to sell each of these five guns?"

Today, if Cao Yanchao was the only one, the store owner would definitely find a way to pit him ruthlessly.

However, when he saw Daddy Bayin, who was standing on the sidelines, he instantly confessed, so he said honestly.

"This first old-fashioned musket is no longer in use, and it's basically just an antique to collect, so you can take it with you for just a hundred magic crystals.

And this second magic gun is a more popular self-defense weapon on the market now, so the price is not expensive, only five hundred magic crystal coins are needed.

As for the third one, it is a dual-purpose magic musket, to be honest, this gun is not practical, and the gunpowder bullets are also very expensive, so they need to be purchased separately, which is an experimental product.

This is actually a weapon personally made by an inventor in the city, and I put it here to help him consign, if you really want it, then give five hundred magic crystal coins.

This fourth repeating magic gun is actually a standard weapon that has been passed down from the army, and it was sold to me by a deserter who ran out of the kingdom of Bajiros, and when it is used, as long as it is not discovered by the kingdom army of Bajiros, it is not a big deal, so as long as there are two thousand magic crystal coins, you can take it away.

The fifth, the ultra-long-range rifle, is also an experimental weapon, but it is a weapon resold from the famous Continental United Ordnance Factory, and it is said that it will be eliminated because the power of the magic energy bullet is too small.

If you really want it, two thousand magic crystals can take it with you. ”

Cao Yanchao thought about it for a while and said.

"Then I want this old-fashioned musket, and I also want this dual-purpose magic musket, but you have to tell me who made it and live there, or if there is a quality problem with this gun, should I go to the man, or should I ask you to repair it?"

Originally, I thought it would be a big deal, but I didn't expect the other party to pick only two of the cheapest, and the shop owner suddenly lost interest, as for the dual-purpose magic musket was originally consigned, so he didn't hesitate at all, and directly sold the maker.

Then, Cao Yanchao bought a set of magic arrays with five attributes and fifty gunpowder bullets that were matched with the magic musket, and I have to say here that the gunpowder bullets are indeed very expensive, and fifty bullets actually cost as much money as five magic arrays, which is a hundred magic crystal coins, which makes Daddy Bayin on the side frown.

The shopkeeper happily packed the two muskets with the magic array and bullets and handed them to Cao Yanchao.

So Cao Yanchao nodded at Daddy Bayin, who was standing aside, and then the two left the weapon shop together with the package.
