Pirate Traveling Merchant

Walking on the somewhat dilapidated streets, smelling the air with a hint of decay, Nolan stopped and looked at the center of the island, where is the area where this country lives, which occupies nearly one-third of the country. An area of ​​​​10, but only [-]% of the country's population lives in it.

Although the target group of his business is in that area, Nolan does not want to go there immediately. After all, it can be said to be a country, China. It is basically a small country belonging to the nobility. If outsiders enter rashly, , they will immediately encounter resistance from the indigenous people inside, and their property may be confiscated, or their lives may be lost.

This is an extremely authoritarian and centralized ruling group. Although it is easy to blend in, as long as you get involved in their world, you can easily obtain huge wealth from their hands.

"Ale Ale, I'm going to be busy next." Nolan withdrew his gaze and began to look for a place where he wanted to live.

Because this country has little contact with the outside world, there are not many hotels. Nolan searched for a long time before he found a hotel, and this hotel was still very shabby.

Walking into the hotel, Nolan completed the registration at the dirty front desk.

After arriving at the simple room, Nolan put down his luggage and put all the valuable things inside into his pocket.In this country, except for areas where nobles live, there is no completely safe place. No matter where you go, there is a risk of theft.

Leaving only a change of clothes, Nolan walked out of the hotel and went to the street to get to know this strange country up close.Although Nolan's ultimate goal is to break into the area where the nobles live, the ticket to enter there can only be found in the civilian area. The nobles of this country will not let anyone unless the Tianlong people are present in person. Outsiders enter the area where they live.

It is such an extremely feudal and authoritarian group of people who rule this country, and the people of this country have never had effective resistance. Before the revolution developed, they were strangled in the cradle by the army controlled by the nobles. , it’s not that the intelligence network of the rulers of this country is so strong, it’s just that for the sake of money, the internal personnel who launched the revolution themselves reported the information of their associates, just for the permit to move into the aristocratic area. .

While walking on the streets of such a country, Nolan couldn't help but think of what Long Yi had been fighting for all his life. If Long Yi came to this country, with his character, he would probably knock those nobles to the ground. .

Thinking of Long Yi, Nolan immediately laughed and felt slightly better.

"Maybe I will follow the same path as you, old man." Nolan covered his eyes and looked at the sun in the sky, squinting slightly.

Although he has just arrived in this country not long ago, Nolan has already deeply felt how unbearable this country is. Everyone in the civilian areas is extremely indifferent, and robberies and thefts are endless here.

People only care about money and food. No one will talk about feelings with you. As long as they can get something from you, they will almost always agree to your request.

When Nolan was passing by an alley, he saw something that made him very angry.In the alley, a mother with rugged buttocks was walking with her four or five-year-old child.Standing in front of a middle-aged man with a sinister face, he lightly checked the child's physical condition and then nodded.

"Okay then... that..." When the middle-aged man nodded, the mother's eyes, which were still dull, suddenly glowed with astonishing brilliance, and she excitedly confirmed with the middle-aged man again. road.The children standing aside had no idea what they were talking about and could only look at the two adults with innocent eyes.

"Well." The middle-aged man took out a stack of Baileys from his arms, "This is five thousand Baileys."

“啊嘻嘻”母亲马上把钱抢到手里，然后熟练的数了起来。一边数嘴里还一边念着“1....2.....3.....4....5......”

Looking at the money in his mother's hand, the child was also very happy. He knew that as long as he had money, he would be able to eat delicious food. He grabbed the corner of his mother's clothes and shouted excitedly, "Mom... Mom...I want to eat meat..."

The mother who was counting the money was disturbed by her child. She spat, then looked at the child with extreme disgust, and said disgustedly: "I am not your mother anymore, get out of here." After that, she pushed the child towards her. middle-aged man.

The child was confused by his mother's behavior and didn't know how to respond to what was happening now.Just when he was still in a daze, his gaze suddenly rose up, higher than his mother's head. He couldn't help but screamed, "Ahhhhhhh."

The middle-aged man put the child on his shoulders and walked deeper into the alley.Only then did the child react. He didn't know other things, but he was certain that he was going to be separated from his mother now.

"Mom...wuwu...Mom...I don't want to go with this person...Mom... .Mom...I want to be with you...Mom..."

Facing the pitiful cries of her child, the mother did not respond at all. Her eyes were still staring at the money in her hand, with an inexplicable smile on her face.

Nolan watched all this with cold eyes in the alley. He was originally an orphan, and he hated the parents who abandoned their children the most.What happened in the alley made him very angry, but he did not take action immediately. He had just arrived in this country and was still very unfamiliar with it. Although he could rescue the child and punish the middle-aged man and the mother. .

However, so what if he is saved now, he will not live in this country for a long time. Nolan is not a saint, and it is impossible for him to change his plan for the sake of the people and things here.While he was still alive, he could still protect the children he saved, but after he left, the children might continue to experience such things.Therefore, Nolan decided to observe it for a while before talking.

The middle-aged man disappeared into the alley with his child. Nolan ignored the mother selling the child, jumped on the roof of the house next to the alley, and followed him quietly.

The child kept crying on the middle-aged man's shoulder. After walking for a while, the middle-aged man couldn't bear it anymore and knocked the child unconscious. Looking at the comatose child, he sneered: "Haha , If a piece of cargo is so noisy, you will die early." He carried the child and continued walking.

Nolan jumped from rooftop to rooftop, following the middle-aged man not far behind.Not long after, the middle-aged man came to a remote shop, opened the door and walked in.

Nolan stood on the roof opposite the shop, squinting his eyes and looking at it. "Happy House" is the name of the shop. If he hadn't known about the middle-aged man's previous transactions, Nolan would have no idea about such a shop. It would associate something bad with it, but now Nolan feels that the name of this store is too irritating.

There is no way to know from the outside what is going on inside the store and what the store does.The location of the shop also shows that only people who know the inside story will come here. If I enter rashly, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the people inside.

In this case, we can only wait for the middle-aged man to come out and then look for clues from him.

After about half an hour, the middle-aged man walked out of the store. When he came out, he did not take his child with him. Instead, he had a bag in his hand. As the middle-aged man walked, the sound of coins colliding could be heard in the bag. , but as he said, the child has been sold to someone from the Happy Family.

After leaving the shop for a while, the middle-aged man weighed the bag in his hand, and then said with a smile: "You can go have some drinks tonight, hahahaha."

"Haha, I hope this won't be the last time I drink." Nolan's cold voice sounded from behind the middle-aged man.

"Who?" The middle-aged man only had time to say this word before he was knocked unconscious by Nolan.

Looking at the middle-aged man lying unconscious on the ground, Nolan wanted to kill him now, but he hadn't gotten what he wanted to know yet, so he had to act calmly for the time being.

Nolan grabbed the middle-aged man's leg and dragged him into another alley.
