Lord Highlander

  Chapter 711 700. Those things in the small town

After dinner, Suldak took off his salamander leather armor, changed into a set of ordinary linen clothes, and did not wear a noble medal or knight insignia, and led Selina out of the barracks. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to take care of the lives of the people.

Suldak was going to go around the town, and went to the tavern to inquire about renting a house. He didn't let Andrew or Samira accompany him. Even Signa, under Selena's persuasion, agreed to stay in the small building of the barracks sleep.

Selena changed the black robe she was wearing, and wore a beige dress made of silk fabric. She pulled her long hair up high, revealing a section of her snow-white neck. Her figure immediately looked tall and slender. Just a little bit of lipstick, and the whole person becomes extremely bright in an instant.

  When he walked out of the barracks, even Andrew, who had always been serious about women, was slightly taken aback. He stared at Selena for a long time before remembering to look away.

  The two walked out of the barracks and walked towards the town along the dirt road ahead.

  It was very dark, and there were no street lights on the dirt road. Fortunately, both Suldak and Selina had good eyesight, and they walked into Dodan Town within a few steps.

  The barracks was built under the northern city wall, on an open space in the north of Dodan Town.

It is less than 100 meters away from Duodan Town. Walking into the town, the surroundings seem lively. A group of children are playing the game of catching thieves on the street. One by one, the clever and weird children hide in the shadow of the street buildings, staring wide-eyed. Peeping out to find someone's little partner.

Selena's skin is fair and delicate, her figure is plump and fat-free, the beige dress looks tight on her body, the edge of her **** stretches out in a full arc from her armpits, she has a beautiful white face, and her amber eyes look at her. To the distant town of Duodan, his eyes are like a fox.

  In Wall Village, Hailansa City, and Bena City, she didn't feel so relaxed.

No more troubles in life, no worries about food and clothing, and no need to worry about being arranged by the census secretary to marry an old man whom he has never even met. Those black magicians of the monastery hiding in the shadows have all disappeared, I can finally breathe the free air in the small town...

  She really wanted to throw off the shoes on her feet, walk through the town barefoot, stand in front of those men in the square in the center of the town, and no longer have to deliberately cover her face...

  She boldly held Suldak's arm, her soft body clinging to Suldak's, and the two walked in unison to a tavern in the center of the town.

  The plaque at the entrance of the tavern is an ale glass drawn on a wooden board. The white hops on the wooden board are vividly drawn, shaking back and forth under the night wind.

  The tavern in the small town is on the square in the center of the town. Almost all the buildings on the street here are rented out by merchants. At night, the shops are lit and the lights shine on the square through the glass windows.

Two groups of drunk young people were fighting outside the tavern. Some of them had been beaten to the ground, covering their heads and howling, and some were holding stones in their hands and chasing the fleeing people. As long as this kind of fighting does not If you use weapons, if you don't die, you won't be held accountable.

   Selena gave Suldak a surprised look.

   "Are you wondering why I don't care about it?" Suldak whispered to Selina.

  If it was in the city of Hailansa or in the village of Wall, as long as Suldak, a knight of the guard battalion, stood up, he would be able to calm down the dispute immediately, but this is not Hailansa.

   "Isn't the garrison here to maintain law and order?" Selina pursed her bright red lips and asked.

Suldak shook his head and said: "We are just a garrison. As long as it is not fighting with weapons or killing people, we will ignore these energetic young people fighting in the town. We must always give them a chance to vent their excesses." energy."

  Selina gave Surdak an intriguing look.

On the other side of the square, there was a bard sitting by the pool, wearing a set of flashy leather armor. The collar of the leather armor was opened to reveal the bronze chest muscles. Apart from the fact that the bard had a good figure, there was nothing else. usefulness.

The bard sang there with his organ in his arms, surrounded by a few young girls. Some sat quietly by the pool and listened quietly. Some whispered softly with their arms around the shoulders of their best friends. His footsteps twisted gently with the melodious music.

  The younger children played outside the store by the light in the window.

   There are also some people who are busy in the store. Those busy people are basically some local aborigines. In order to ensure their basic livelihood, they have to work until late every day.

  Suldak pushed the door open and walked into the tavern.

  When the waiter at the door saw Selena, he even forgot his duty to open the door. Like the other drinkers, he stared at Selena's charming face and watched her and Suldak walk through the tavern hall.

  Selena, who put on light makeup, is like a magnet at the moment, attracting the attention of almost all the men in the tavern.

  Suldak strolled to the front of the bar, asked the bartender who wiped the glasses for two glasses of local fruit wine and a plate of salted nuts, and sat at the bar with Selena to drink slowly.

   After the two of them had a drink, except for someone eager to come over to buy Selena a drink, it seemed that the tavern had returned to normal.

   Probably the Roman dagger on Suldak's waist played a certain role, and no one came over for a while.

  Suldak pushed two empty glasses to the bartender, and then pushed a silver coin to the bartender. The bartender asked, "What else do you want to drink?"

  Placing his finger on the silver coin, he asked the bartender, "Where can I rent a house in town?"

  The bartender leaned out of the bar, looked around the lobby of the tavern, saw the group of drinkers by the wall, and shouted: "Epson, do you have a house to rent out?"

  A thin man in a cloth apron stood up from the group of drinkers, holding a glass of ale in his hand, and asked with a smile:

   "What's the matter? Not satisfied with your little nest, do you want to live in another place?"

  The bartender pointed to Suldak, and said directly, "These two guests want to rent a house!"

  The slender man named Epson left his seat with ale and walked to the front of the bar.

Suerdak also took the opportunity to release his fingers on the silver coins, and asked the bartender to put the silver coins into his purse. The bartender took the opportunity to say to Suerdak: "He is the only tailor in the town, and his family has opened a tailor shop. .”

  Epson, the owner of the tailor shop, didn't seem to mind the bartender revealing his information. He just stared at Surdak and asked with some vigilance, "Are you from out of town?"

  Suldak stood up and said to the tailor shop owner, "We came from Wilkes City."

The owner of the tailor shop squinted his eyes and his nasal voice was a little heavy. He snorted twice before saying, "It's not a good season for hunting. Are you going to do business here? If you're a tailor, let me know as soon as possible. I can't rent the house to you." Together, haha!"

   After saying this, he smiled humorously.

  Suldak left the bar with a second glass of fruit wine, sat on the corner seat of the tavern with the tailor shop owner, and said casually: "...I want to do some fur business."

  The tailor shop owner was slightly taken aback, and followed Surdak to the opposite side of him. His eyes stayed on Selina's face for a while, and then he let out a 'grunt' and drank a big mouthful of cold ale.

  Suldak put his arms around Selena's slender waist, and said to the tailor shop owner:

   "I need a quieter place. It's best not to be disturbed by anyone at ordinary times. I hate the kind of thieves who lie outside the courtyard wall and peep inside..."

  The owner of the tailor shop showed a smile of "I understand it very well", and said in a low voice: "It can only be a small single-family building. I happen to have such a building that I want to rent out, but the price is not cheap."

   "Is it convenient to see it tomorrow?" Suerdak didn't even mention the price.

  The tailor shop owner readily agreed: "Of course!"

  The two raised their wine glasses and slammed them. The tailor shop owner was not in a hurry to leave, and asked Surdak curiously:

   "Are you going to do fur business?"

  Suldak took out a stack of wind wolf leather in the magic pocket, showed it to the tailor shop owner, pointed to the wolf skin and said:

   "The best kind of leather can be engraved with magic lines. I have friends in the magic union and can sell that precious leather for a good price."

  Looking at the magic halo flowing on the fur, the tailor shop owner's eyes and pupils shrank, and he whispered:

"Then you have to be careful with the trading firm. Their main business is also fur goods. If you go to Dodan Town to buy fur goods, it is obviously stealing other people's business. It is best to be careful at ordinary times. Those people in the firm and the adventure union have many adventure groups. There is a cooperative relationship, they not only buy fur goods, but also help those people deal with some shady things, and the merchant group also maintains an armed group, it is best not to let them find an excuse for conflict."

Suldak smiled "hehe", put the leather in his hand into the magic pocket, and said confidently: "I'm not afraid of them, I have many magician friends in Wilkes, and they told me that the most profitable thing here is fur business."

The tailor shop owner shook his head when he heard what Suldak said: "Apart from slave trade, the most profitable business is magic herbs, followed by magic materials. Magic leather is just one of the magic materials. You are in Will I know the master magician in Wilkes City, and I occasionally go to Wilkes City to buy some magicweave cloths, and I am very familiar with the magicians in the city, but they don’t know me.”

   "Master Gerald the Magician." Suldak said without thinking.

  The tailor shop owner asked with some doubts: "Is there such a master magician in the magic union in Wilkes City?"

   "Of course, whenever you want to buy magicweave cloth again, you can tell me directly, and I can ask my magician friend to mail some to me, and I can definitely get you an internal price." Suldak said, patting his chest.

  The tailor shop owner's eyes lit up, he stared at Suldak and asked: "Really? I really need to think about this. Besides magicweave cloth, can I get some rune cloth?"

  Suldak readily agreed: "I want to write a letter to ask about this. Most of the magic cloths I usually come into contact with are magicweave cloth. If it is magicweave cloth, I can mail some directly to me."

   "Magicweave cloth is also good." The tailor shop owner showed a businessman's smile on his face.

The two touched their wine glasses again, took a sip of wine, and then Suldak asked: "I don't quite understand, those adventure groups hunted in the Invercargill Demonic Beast Forest, and the harvested Demonic Beast leather was sold to trading houses, why? Is there still something that can't be seen?"

  He looked like a newbie in the industry.

The tailor shop owner sighed, and then explained to Suldak in a low voice: "What's so difficult to understand, the adventure groups that can stay here are basically criminals who have been exiled here. They escaped from the guard camp and Only after the investigation by the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team did they come to live in this remote area, these people usually go hunting in the World of Warcraft forest, and occasionally do those things... understand?"

  The tailor shop owner made a 'cut' movement with one hand on the other, and his voice was extremely low.

   "It's black and black, right?" Suldak was a little surprised.

The tailor shop owner took another sip of ale, and in order to prove that he was telling the truth, he whispered: "Why not! You came here, didn't you hear that an adventure group just had an accident in the woods outside the town? gone?"

   "I know this." Suldak said.

  The voice of the tailor shop owner came close to Suldak's ear: "It's probably that group of people who did it. Everyone here... understands it!" While speaking, he still poked his heart with fingers as thick as carrots.

  The tailor shop owner said: "But our mayor said at the beginning that we must pay attention to evidence in everything. Without evidence, no one can frame anyone."

  Suldak asked in surprise: "The gang of criminals who have fled here are actually protected by the mayor?"

"Of course not, not only that, the mayor even hates this group of people." Epson, the tailor shop owner, waved his hand and said, "It's okay to tell you these things. Anyway, in Dodan Town, these grievances have long been It’s a semi-public secret, but the last time the slave trader snatched a glazed beast skin from the adventure group outside, the mayor has such a set of rhetoric, but now it is regarded as the code of conduct in Dodan Town, and it is estimated that the town The grown-ups are also secretly regretting it."

  Suldak asked the waiter to bring two more glasses of ale here. The tailor shop owner saw that Suldak was so generous, touched his big red nose, and continued:

"Speaking of which, the fur business needs a senior leather craftsman to be profitable. Dodan Town alone cannot afford a senior leather craftsman. The trading group usually hires a senior leather craftsman from Wilkes City. Then the trading groups distributed in various small towns can buy the magic beast leather at the best price, because there are senior leather makers behind them who can greatly control the manufacturing cost of magic leather, so if the leather is purchased in a small town, basically no one can compete for it. The trading firm here, so the Warcraft leather has always been controlled by the trading firm, and no one can get in."

  The owner of the tailor shop glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered:

   "You said that our mayor traveled all the way to Dodan Town. He couldn't possibly come here for the welfare of the aborigines here. Of course, he holds the most profitable business."

  Suldak asked: "Slave trade?"

The owner of the tailor shop hid one hand under his armpit, secretly pointed to the drinkers on the other side of the tavern, and whispered, "Look, the people drinking over there are the most famous people in the town. They usually spend the whole month in the forest in the north catching those tribal aboriginals who don’t want to attach to the empire, if it wasn’t for the accident in Dodan Town, you probably wouldn’t be able to see them.”

Suldak speculated along the topic: "Could it be that the gang of slave traders was hacked by the adventure group formed by the group of exiled criminals outside the town? There's no reason to do that! They don't know that those slave traders are the mayor."

The owner of the tailor shop laughed dryly and said in a low voice: "You probably don't know that the beast tide is about to break out here. Those adventure groups that hunt monsters for a living have moved to other places one after another. You said that if they come here before they leave , how to make such a fortune?"

   "Eh, there is really such a possibility." Suldak patted his forehead and said suddenly.

   Just as the two were chatting in full swing, the bartender personally ran to their side, took away the empty wine glass from the owner of the tailor shop, and stopped the conversation between the two of them.

   "Hey, Epson, you drank too much, go home and sleep!" The bartender said to the tailor shop owner, and then asked Suldak: "By the way, where can I find you tomorrow?"

  Suldak took out five silver coins and placed them on the table, then stood up and said to the bartender, "We will go to the tailor shop at noon!"

   "Okay, see you tomorrow..."
