Chapter 924 Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce
Chapter 924 Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce
A flying holy mage came to Rost City, and the news had already been spread on the day when the arena incident happened.
Now, everyone in the whole city knew that there was such an adult living in Lord Paladin's castle, and this topic became a topic of conversation after dinner.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't care about this either.
The experience of these worlds made him already familiar with such a scene.
He even knew that Baron Sean must have been behind it all to ferment so quickly.
The purpose of the other party is also self-evident.
He just wanted to use his own name to help him consolidate his rule.
And let some young people dispel their minds, so as to prevent things like today from happening again.
Zhang Xiaoman is very clear about this kind of tricky behavior.
But he didn't want to take care of it, or he was too lazy to take care of it.
Anyway, in his opinion, this planet is not a place to stay for a long time. After finding the dimensional crack, he will return to Water Blue Planet as soon as possible.
Unlike those universes facing alien invasions, the second universe itself is the birthplace of aliens, and there is no such thing as invasion at all.
Even if it is the fusion and overlap of two universes, Zhang Xiaoman also found a problem.
That is, in the scene that subconsciously recalled in his mind when he used the guild establishment order, this kind of overlap is still divided into primary and secondary.
This also leads to the existence of the first universe as the main body in this great fusion.
Therefore, in the world of the second universe, there should be no such thing as "being invaded".
In this way, in such a "low martial arts world", Zhang Xiaoman will not waste too much time staying if it is not necessary.
Of course, he didn't mind leaving some Star Alliance beacons here before he left.
If he opens the channel between the two universes through the world tree in the future, then he can use the star alliance beacon to return again.
After all, no matter what, it is also a civilized planet suitable for human survival. It has a lot of resources. If conditions permit, it is impossible to just give up.
After spending another two days in the city, Zhang Xiaoman learned a little more about the world through his own visits.
Now he is no longer as dark-eyed as when he first came here.
He even said that with the help of quicksand with his fingers, he had already read all the books in the castle in just a few days.
From "The Chronicles of the Irene Continent" to "The Second War of the Orcs and Elves", everything has been deeply imprinted in his mind.
It has to be said that the Paladin family deserves to be a big family with a long history.
At least as far as books and ancient books are concerned, there are still a lot of libraries in their castle, and it is roughly estimated that there are no less than 1 books.
It's a pity that the current Baron Palatine is a dude with no ambitions.
Even when people are middle-aged, they only think about eating, drinking and having fun, wasting an entire library in vain.
After the No. 18 day in Rost, the caravan that Zhang Xiaoman had previously searched for also completed their work and was ready to develop and go to their headquarters, which is the capital of the Kingdom of Adren——Tarata.
"Hello, dear Lord Magistrate. I am a member of the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce, Wilmer Pillay. You can call me Little Pillay. This caravan was formed by me. At the end of the year, the last Chamber of Commerce transportation work will be completed, thank you very much for being able to walk with us!"
In the chamber of commerce area of Rost, a tall, thin middle-aged man anxiously performed a strange etiquette to Zhang Xiaoman.
According to his introduction, this person is the small captain of this caravan.
Beside him, other members of the caravan lined up one by one.
They also looked nervously at the young man in front of them, judging from their body movements and expressions, they seemed a little embarrassed.
For everyone present, no one thought that there was a strong man of the holy rank who was willing to walk with himself and others.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no matter what others said, they would not believe it.
You must know that the holy rank powerhouses are the pinnacle of power in this world, each of them can be said to be the supreme existence of a race, and they are the most important weapons for suppressing a country.
In the entire human kingdom, there are no more than ten saint-level powerhouses recorded so far, and only one person is still alive today.
It can be said that everyone grew up listening to the legendary story of that one.
Now seeing another strong man of the same strength, how can this make them calm?
Especially the casual mage and warrior in the team, they were so surprised that they almost popped their eyes out.
They never imagined that the young man who came here to ask them about some cultivation matters was actually the rumored holy-rank strongman in Rost city.
Thinking of this, a series of complicated emotions suddenly rose in their hearts.
There was tension, joy, and even a hint of anticipation.
Perhaps, the reason why this strong man came to ask the two of them about their cultivation was precisely because he took a fancy to his talent and wanted to accept him as an apprentice?
Otherwise, with the opponent's strength, how could he ask himself such a basic thing?
The sorcerer was naturally ecstatic, while the low-level warrior was quite entangled.
But he immediately gritted his teeth and silently made up his mind.
If the other party really wanted to recruit him as an apprentice, then of course he would have to change jobs and retrain.
After all, he was the disciple of the Holy Magister.
Not to mention me as a low-level fighter, even if a fighter from the chamber of commerce came, he would not hesitate to retrain full-time, right?
However, it was impossible for them to think that Zhang Xiaoman, a "holy rank" powerhouse, actually came from another world.
And asking them some knowledge about basic practice is really just filling in the blank knowledge blind spot.
As for accepting apprentices, that's even more impossible. Zhang Xiaoman doesn't have the time to teach his disciples now.
It seems that in this regard, the two are destined to be disappointed.
Counting all members and guards, this caravan has a total of 21 people.
Among them, the guards included a nine-member mercenary squad, as well as the two low-level fighters and mages.
After learning about the configuration of this team, Zhang Xiaoman was a little surprised.
He originally thought that those guards were all members of the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce, but what he didn't expect was that these guards were all hired from the Mercenary Guild.
It turns out that in this world, the mercenary union has a huge influence.
They are almost all over the three kingdoms of humans, dwarves, and gnomes. It is said that they even have their active presence in the kingdom of elves far away in the quiet forest.
And the employment system in this human world is also very peculiar.
As big as a large-scale battle, as small as buying a piece of rabbit skin for a jumping rabbit, almost all of them went back to the mercenary union to issue commissions.
And all these news are not in the library.
Most of them are some ancient books of history.
As for some information about life now, you still need to experience it yourself before you know it.
After Zhang Xiaoman learned all this, he also had some calculations in his mind.
Since the mercenary system in this world is so developed, he might as well post a mission to find the dimensional crack after arriving at the Tarata King City.
He believes that no matter which planet it is, as long as the reward is sufficient, there must be warriors who dare to throw their heads and blood. This point is applicable everywhere.
Again, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Unleashing his perception ability, Zhang Xiaoman quietly probed some of the overall strength of the team.
The merchants of those ten chambers of commerce naturally didn't have any fighting strength, but among the remaining 11 people, only one warrior and mage had reached the low-level level.
And the other mercenaries didn't even have a rank.
The elemental power in their bodies is pitifully low, probably about the same as that of the gladiator Dora in the arena.
In view of this, Zhang Xiaoman can be regarded as having a general understanding of the overall power level of this world.
It seems that force is still very scarce in this world.
Otherwise, a mercenary who is the guard force of a chamber of commerce would not have such a little strength.
Then, after a whole morning of rectification, the caravan finally gathered all the personnel and began to march towards the King City of Tarata.
What everyone rides is a mount called "broad-backed pack beast".
As its name suggests, this beast of burden has a very broad back.
Not only can they carry a large amount of goods, but even a simple shed can be built on it for riders to rest, just like the ancient Chinese carriages.
Zhang Xiaoman, as a high-ranking holy-rank powerhouse, naturally enjoyed a pack beast all by himself.
He sat in his friend's room happily and quietly, and the others didn't have to accompany him, so he was too nervous.
Of course, the caravan captain who was much older than himself, but insisted on calling himself "Little Pillay", did not take his money.
In the words of the other party, it means that the caravan has already gained a lot of glory by following him, a strong man of the holy rank, so how can they be ashamed to collect money.
From these words, it is not difficult to see that the world is still not peaceful.
At least in the wild and other areas, if ordinary people go out to do business rashly without escorts, it may not be too safe.
The speed of the pack beast is not fast, it will take at least a whole day to go from Rost City to Cantel City.
In addition to these huge loads that will greatly reduce the speed of the caravan, the bumpy dirt road along the way is also the main reason for the prolonged time.
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help shaking his head, he didn't know if this world was like this, or only Rost City was like this.
In short, if the conditions for building roads are not met, how can it drive the development of the city?
Perhaps because he sensed the aura of his holy rank powerhouse, the chamber of commerce did not encounter any monster attacks along the way.
After a night's rest, they arrived in Cantor City on the morning of the second day.
Compared with Rost City, Cantor City is not as large in geographical area as the former.
But in terms of its prosperity, it still far surpassed that former holy city.
"Your Excellency Holy Magister, we have booked a room at the Golden Rose Hotel for you. Please wait for a day. We need to hand over the list of goods to our companions here, and we will leave for the Royal City tomorrow..."
Outside the beast of burden, Wilmer Pillay said to Zhang Xiaoman with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you don't have to take care of me."
Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand and said.
Anyway, it's already here, and it's not bad for a day or two.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he asked everyone in the caravan to keep the secret of his strength.
Even if you want convenience, then you have to wait until Tarata.
Of course, whether it's Rost City or Cantor City, Zhang Xiaoman has left a Star Alliance Beacon in these places as a record.
In this world, it is impossible to use the wind control to fly, and there is no anti-gravity vehicle.
He didn't even have the most basic airplane and car, which made him feel the long-lost traffic inconvenience again.
In order to prevent the possibility of coming back in the future, he should arrange the teleportation point in advance.
Anyway, he also stored a lot of such road signs in the storage space, so he didn't have to worry about not having enough for a while.
The Golden Rose Hotel is said to be the most luxurious hotel here.
Everyone in the chamber of commerce spent a lot of money this time in order to please him, a strong man of the holy rank.
However, perhaps due to the perspective of different times, Zhang Xiaoman did not feel that this hotel was as grand as Pillay praised.
The entire hotel has only three floors, and its size is about the same as an ordinary restaurant on the Huaxia Country Road.
The decoration is just barely, not shabby, but it really has nothing to do with luxury.
But if you look at it from the perspective of the unique different world style, it has a different flavor.
Beautiful garlands adorn the warm wooden walls.
There is a large fireplace in the spacious hall, which "crackling" burns a warm flame.
A group of travelers gathered around the fireplace.
While drinking delicious tar wine, they listened to the organ music played by the bard, as if they had forgotten the noise and cold outside.
Zhang Xiaoman sat alone in the corner, enjoying this rare leisure time, and fell in love with it for a while.
"Sir, the Advent of the Gods is coming soon, would you like to buy a rainbow flower? Our rainbow flower is the largest and most beautiful in Cantor City!"
A little girl holding a flower basket came over and sold the flowers she sold to Zhang Xiaoman.
Zhang Xiaoman looked up at her.
Although the girl was dressed plainly, she was very clean and looked very cute.
He smiled and glanced at another man in the room who was also selling his own flowers. That should be her father.
He took out a gold coin from his pocket, and Zhang Xiaoman gently handed it to the little girl.
"These flowers are very nice, I want them all."
