Heimarian Odyssey
Chapter 32: black market
In the early morning, a group of five people quietly left from the barracks. Locke, Kane, Hans, Gulas, and Kirby headed in the opposite direction of the troops.
Time has entered the late autumn, whether it is Faustian or Charlotte, the autumn and winter seasons are always cold, and the summer is hot and unbearable. Therefore, the current marching time of the army is from noon to evening.
Fortunately, the two barons decided to try their best to rush to the road. It took less than two days to reach Bibier, where the headquarters of the regiment is located.
This time Locke took advantage of the opportunity of the army not marching in the morning to do a business with a Charlotte city they passed before Kirby went.
Wallier City, a small city with two thousand inhabitants, has no other characteristics. The only strange thing is that the city wall is comparable to the wall of a medium-sized city, nearly 10 meters.
It is said that this was built by Baron Abic, the last owner of the city. This was a joke among the local nobles of Charlotte. What a small city, what a wall so high.
But at this time, those nobles who had joked Baron Abick now regretted it. Why didn't they think of repairing the city walls? It is precisely because of this nearly 10-meter-high wall that the Charlottes in the city are temporarily protected from the flames of war.
It is for this reason that Warrior City has become a refuge port for the wealthy and wealthy people of nearby Shirlo, and also a home for Shirlo refugees.
Locker’s destination is Wallier City.
Locke came to Warrior City this time not for murder and robbery, but for trading. I did catch a few smugglers and resellers in that small town before, but their goods were ordinary grain and Charlotte’s coins. One opinion, go to Wallier City to attend the fair there.
Every city has a group of businessmen living in the dark. Some of them are robbers, some are smugglers, and some are gangsters. Here you can buy things that are not available on the market, but the price will be a little expensive. This is the black market.
Kirby had worked in the black market before, and there was a black market when Franz City was prosperous. When the Forstan army broke the city, the black market disappeared. Kirby knew how huge the financial and material resources these merchants in the dark possessed. This time he encouraged Locke to bring people, not to buy things, but to sell things.
"Charlotte is going to be over, and now the people of insight know it all." Kirby walked and talked among a group of people. Locke and others ignored him. "Dele is now a hard currency. The black market merchants Absolutely no cost will eat."
This is Kirby’s suggestion to exchange Dele for Charlotte’s coins. In the Forstan Caravan, the exchange ratio between Dele and coins is 2:1, but in Charlotte there are also people who change 5:1. It is the way to get rich.
This time, Locke not only brought the income from the "sweeping" town to Dele, but also borrowed a large amount of money from Uncle Joshak, with a total of 400 silver Dele, Hans and Gula. Sri Lanka's waist is bulging.
For this transaction, Locke thinks it is feasible, but conservatively brought three powerful officers. Not to mention if there is anything in the black market that can block Rock, it is okay for Hans and others to deal with ordinary **** by playing seven or eight.
Several people did not delay time, and hurried to Warrior City after coming out of the barracks. The frost in the morning had not faded. Several people had arrived outside Warrior City.
The difference between Wallier City and Frans City is not significant, the only obvious thing is that the city wall is a few meters high. However, the slightly ruined city wall is even higher, and in the eyes of Locke and others, the city is also vulnerable.
There were several guards standing in twos and threes on the city wall, and an apparently huge stone pit on the west wall was so abrupt. That was the warning given to them by the magician of the Baron Kashir when their troops passed the city yesterday.
Shikeng gave the Shir Luo people endless fears and worries, and also gave Locke and his people confidence.
Many people have gathered outside the city gates, all of whom are refugees who want to enter the city. However, it may be that the pressure from the army that did not go far yesterday was too great, and only a small slit was opened at the gate of the city that was usually allowed to pass through.
Although it was still early at this time, Locke and his party had already been tens of meters away. At this speed, let alone rush back before noon, it would be nice to be able to enter the city.
Locke frowned and looked at Kirby. Kirby stood firm and promised, "Look at me!" He said, Kirby strode to the entrance of the gate and exchanged a few words with the soldiers who guarded the gate. The left hand stroked one of the trousers’ pockets. The soldier felt that his pocket was a lot heavier, and gave his colleagues around him a wink, so he patted Kirby’s shoulder. This was done.
Kirby waved to Rock and others who were still waiting in line, and several people walked towards the city gate. The refugees all around were annoyed at these guys who cut in line. One or two irritable people seemed to want to get started. Hans just glared at them, and the two of them were gone. The public found that none of these people were bullying.
Guang Hans is nearly two meters in size, and none of the yellow-skinned refugees around him can match it, not to mention Gulas, who is stronger than Hans. Even Locke and Kane, who are slightly "thin" among several people, also have a height of about 1.8 meters. In the eyes of others, they are also strong men.
Gulas hugged his shoulders and grunted at the refugees. A group of refugees seemed to see a fierce beast of floods and fled back.
When Locke walked to the gate of the city, the gatekeepers saw how they looked, and immediately clenched their spears as if they were facing an enemy. Kirby was busy again at this time to explain that several soldiers can certainly feel the difference between these people. Anyone who has killed someone will exhale a kind of grief, and those who have been soldiers can feel it.
As a leader in the army, Locke is certainly quite astonishing. Kirby saw that the soldiers in the city were still unmoved, and they waved his right hand again. There was something more in the soldier's pocket before, and the soldier hesitated.
When Kirby saw that it was effective, he put the few coins left in his body into the soldier, and finally the soldier put away his weapon, nodded to the other soldiers around him, and then the soldiers around him put away their spears, It's just that if the spearhead is there, it points to Locke and others.
"Don't mess up!" the soldier seemed threatening to Locke and others, but it was Gulas's eyes that answered him.
After several people entered the city, Gulas slapped on Kirby's shoulders, and "Peng" slapped him. The Kirby's body was probably not going to fall apart. "Well, your kid is clever. Why didn't he catch you when he caught you?" feel."
Kirby smiled flatteringly, "Sir, you laughed. At this time, the gatekeepers were all the cannon fodders selected in the city. What insights can you have? Dozens of bronzes are enough to kill them."
Wallier City is not much different from Franz City, and it is even more expensive. There are refugees lying on the street everywhere, and there are no shops that are still open.
Locke was in a hurry and was not interested in admiring the city. He said to Kebi "Lead the way."
"Adult, the black market in every city must be in the most chaotic place." Kirby explained the road side. "There is no more chaotic place than the slums."
Several people walked between the intricate sheds. The people around them were all covered in rags with incomplete body cover, messy hair, and pale complexion. They looked at the group of uninvited guests with unconscious eyes.
Locke didn’t pay much attention to these refugees. Suddenly, he stumbled, his messy hair covered his face, and people with no shoes rushed to Locke and others, "Master, okay, I haven’t eaten in three days. …" Before this man approached Locke, he was blocked by Kane next to him and stopped on the side of the road.
This is just a small episode on the road, and a few people forgot in a blink of an eye. However, Locke noticed that the man would stop because he was holding a copper cup in his hand tightly, and at that time, only Kane was closer to him.
Several people approached a black wooden shed and stopped. There were four gangsters holding wooden sticks and iron picks at the door. Although the guy in their hands looked funny, it was the only standard weapon allowed in the city. Businessmen and the rich have been scared. They do not allow regular weapons to appear in the hands of civilians.
To say that these four gangsters are more conspicuous among the surrounding refugees, Locke's people are simply standing tall, and they don't look like ordinary citizens at first glance.
The strong muscles of Gulas and Hans are the tickets. The four goalkeepers didn't even stop, so they put a few people on the entrance. Instead, Locke was a little puzzled.
Although the wooden hut is also one or two hundred square meters in size, it is obviously not enough to be a black market in a city. Sure enough, after entering, what catches your eyes is the stairs that go straight down.
"This is?" Locke first saw the downward path.
"It's the basement, lord," Kirby stood up and explained, "It is said that it was originally built by the magician."
This is the second thing that Locke has seen created by a magician. The first is the sofa that he saw in Master Sauron's tent.
"There is also a black market on the street, and that is bigger," Kirby explained. "But our identity is not so good, so we came here underground, although a little smaller, but they are fine products, and here is not ordinary. Come to the black market to buy things."
"Yes, it's just currency trading, you don't need to go to a big trading place." Locke nodded in favor.
There are torches hanging on both sides. This downward staircase is not long, but because it is underground, it looks extra black. Fortunately, several people are bold and tough guys, and they don’t feel much-
