City of Sin: Ninety-one business
There are also rules and order in Bloodstained Lands, it is very simple, but effective. That is the principle of basic power, the principle of matching strength and wealth.
In fact, to put it simply, it is necessary to have sufficient self-protection in this land. If your strength is above the baseline, you can have the wealth and status that match your strength. In fact, these two rules are similar to or not. They are completely formed in the course of years of disorderly struggle. It is not the rules but the wisdom of survival.
For example, in Bloodstained Lands, if the two Gobi lions standing at the top of the ordinary beast food chain meet on the way, they will most likely roar and demonstrate each other. After testing each other ’s strength and bottom line, they pass each other and forage.
In most parts of Bloodstained Lands, including the blue water oasis, the rules of passage are the same as those of the beast world.
This is Richard's experience after an hour of talking with the old man at the grocery store.
The night has long passed, and the **** incident of last night will naturally be the talk of people in Oasis City today. The hanged Stick quickly became the most repeated word in people ’s mouths. Although it sounds very exciting, for people who have been walking on the blade for many years, this is just the case. Many bold people even went to visit the exhibition site outside the Richard camp. Through this exhibition, they read more about Richard's determination.
And Richard entered the city again in the early morning, and still brought the people from last time. But the bar is closed, and this morning, Richard is not for drinking. So when he saw that the grocery store had actually opened the door, and the old man was still sitting there idly, he simply sat next to the old man and chatted.
The Richard people who were n’t greeted by the industry of STICK, they directly opened the door of the bar, scared that several of them survived and had nowhere to go to the waitress to scream. But now is not the time to kill, they just moved the wine and the table out, sat down casually, and the position just guarded Richard closely.
Last night, there was a riot that obviously made people in this busy street remember the Richard.
There are dozens of large and small shops on this street. Many shopkeepers, like the old man in the grocery store, sit idly at the door and do not see any customers coming for a long time. Although some goods were piled up in their shops, most of them were few and broken. At first glance, they knew that they were not worth much money, and they were used to decorate the facade.
In the old man ’s grocery store, things are quite complete, but it ’s very weird that such a shop opens on this street and next to the bar.
But after chatting with the old man for an hour, Richard knows that the shops on this street are indeed pretending.
Every store actually has a power behind it, and the type and size of the store suggest the real business that the power behind is engaged in. For example, a hide store means a Orc slave trade, and a clothing store is a Barbarian trade. Shops specializing in desert stone carvings can often find a large number of slaves of sand people. In addition to normal spirits and women, the bar also provides services such as harvesting heads and hiring teams. If Richard does n’t look good, it ’s possible to spend a sum of money to hire Strick ’s cavalry and make a half-way interception.
Richard's buying news can't be wrong, but his appearance is too young and too delicate, and it is out of step with Bloodstained Lands, not only a completely strange face, but even a lead. The most important thing is that he showed that there was too much money to buy the news from the beginning, at least ten times the normal price, which caused the greedy bartender, and there was a series of stories behind it. It should be known that the cost of Stick ’s cavalry per day only needs half a gold coin and two captains, and if there are fifty gold coins a day, Stick does not mind running once.
As for the old man ’s grocery store, he is actually dealing in all kinds of rare materials, including many Human Kingdom prohibited goods.
So Richard immediately became deeply interested in the business of the elderly, and the topic gradually deepened. Then Richard heard some excitement such as Maple Amber, Flying Snake Venom, Lafite Refined Iron ore and so on.
"Asks, who is the owner of this shop?" Richard pointed to the grocery store and asked.
The grocery store is pitifully small, but there are only two similar stores on the long street. The old man's own identity makes him feel curious.
The old man smiled and said, "It ’s okay to tell you, these are public secrets. My grocery store belongs to Anrek, also known as the Marquis of Strength."
According to this Plane tradition, if a prefix of strength is added before the knighthood, it means that this noble is different, maybe it is the blood of the royal family or heroes, maybe it is in the territory. Special resources and the ability to retain them, maybe they are their own or powerful heroes, or they are enjoying Cleric ... no matter what the reason, it means that their strength and influence exceed the normal power represented by the knighthood. It is only because of certain factors that the higher title has not been obtained for the time being.
"It's very attractive." Richard said.
The old man nodded and said, “It ’s true. I ’m getting older in recent years, and I ’m not as angry as I used to be. I prefer someone to be able to chat, so for you, my shop The appeal should indeed be sufficient. "
Looking at the followers behind Richard, the old man continued: "You are very young and excellent. These guards one by one are not simple. It seems that you not only have a strong family, but also an amazing teacher. Only a stupid like Stick will have men who do n’t have long eyes, thinking they can eat you as a baby. "The old man laughed twice.
Since last night, the old man ’s attitude towards Richard has been very gentle, as if he is not facing a dangerous outsider, but a good chat partner as he said: "Stick has already Stupidly paid the price, but this matter is not so easy to end. "
Richard stretched his body freely and said, "I admit that it is a bit heavier to work on this matter. But I believe that this trouble is nothing for the marquis of strength. My teacher has taught me , Professional things should be done by professional people. I believe that in this city, there will be many people of various professions. The marquis of strength may be one of the most professional. "
"Very smart little brat." The old man nodded approvingly and said, "But why should the Marquis of Strength solve the trouble for you?"
"Because between me and Master Anrek, there will be a lot of business to do."
"It's you, not you?" The old man sharply captured the difference in Richard's wording.
"It's me, not my teacher, nor my family." Richard replied calmly.
