Chapter 3 [Black Street]

()

If we talk about the most lively and energetic and chaotic place in Wildfire Town, it is the "black street".

Black Street is not an official title. In fact, both the Byzantine Empire and Odin had occupied Wildfire Town very short, so it was so short that it was not even time to register all the streets and buildings of Wildfire Town. In comparison, the more ignorant Odin people simply did not even count the population.

Black Street is a conventional name, located just west of Wildfire Town, the closest to the outer street. This street was originally very wide, and it was the most spacious street in the town. It could accommodate two carriages to drive side by side. Such a road is hard to see in such a remote area, even in the civilized and developed Byzantine Empire, it is only standard equipment for some big cities.

However, what I just said was that "originally" could accommodate two carriages side by side - if there weren't so many vendors on the street that occupied the road.

Here are all the strange things from all over the mainland, southeast, west and northwest. Anything you can't imagine can be found here.

Of course, if you want to buy anything, no matter how rare or weird things are, as long as you come to this black street in Wildfire Town and hang a purchase sign, at most, within half a day, there will definitely be a few guys wearing dirty robes and sneaky faces coming to ask you how much money you are willing to pay.

These people are not liars, nor beggars. They are contacts from some mercenary tribes.

On the wildfire field, there are many tribes of all sizes, with the largest being thousands of people and the small being hundreds of people. Some of these tribes do mercenaries, but more are gangs of thieves.

It is difficult for these tribes to distinguish whether they are mercenaries or thieves - it depends on their mood.

There is a saying among the Byzantines that the difference between mercenary groups and thieves groups is:

"If you hire mercenaries as bodyguards, then you can pay afterwards. If they suddenly feel bad, not only will they take your money, but they will also snatch you all - at this time, they are the thieves."

Of course, this saying was strongly resisted by the Wangdu Trading Guild, because the Trading Guild repeatedly stated that only registered mercenary groups are legal and formal. These formal mercenary groups abide by the law and rules. Those guys who are both mercenary and thieves are all illegal black gangs.

But it was these black gangs on the Wildfire Field that helped people a lot. They dared to take on any work and were willing to do any work!

If you pay enough money, they even dare to do a lot of life-threatening business! For example, when you capture dwarf slaves, those regular mercenaries do not do it, but are these black gangs... Hehe, how much money are you willing to pay?

Although the natural environment is harsh, it has to be said that wildfires are a place with high business opportunities! This is a buffer area between Byzantine and the Odin Empire, and it is also the only trade path between the two empires. Odin's merchant group and Byzantine merchant group, if you want to go to the other country to do business, you must pass by here.

The wildfires with a vast area and a harsh geographical environment are full of dangers. In the north of the wildfire town, there is a blue basin on the wildfire field - this is the territory of those dwarves with bad tempers and fierceness. If you are a human caravan, it is best not to get close there, otherwise, in a few days, your skull will be made into lacquerware and hung on the shelves of a shop on the black street.

Only a very small number of merchant groups that have established trust with the dwarves can get close to the dwarves' territory and make some transactions with them.

If the dwarves are still following the rules (as long as you don’t get over it, they will basically not provoke you), then the goblins are the real troublesome guys. These guys are like goblins, breeding in the north of the Wildfire Land, and these things are real robbers - they rob everything, eat, wear, use, and even eat everything.

If you are unfortunately caught by them, then congratulations.

Your meat will be dried into jerky, your bones will be ground into powder to make soup, and your hair will be woven into blankets by those goblins! In short, goblins have a very excellent quality that even humans lack: saving and simplicity!

Trading through the wildfire field is very dangerous and very profitable!

Excellent armor and weapons made by the Byzantine Empire, horses, cattle and sheep, ore, artwork...

The best fur produced by the Northern Odin Empire, as well as various crystals, and various sculptures (I am so ironic! The Odin people have always been synonymous with rude and ignorance, but this ignorant country has the most brilliant carving craftsmanship in the world, which makes the carving artists of the Byzantine Empire unable to raise their heads. However, in order to express disdain, the Byzantines explained this: all the time they lived in is divided into three parts: one third of the time is used to fight, one third of the time is used to mating, and one third of the time is used to carve the statues and pray.)

However, only those large business groups with extremely strong strength have the ability to do these businesses.

If those small caravans want to do such a business, then first you have to show the strength to put your head on the belt.

Of course, there are many people who are willing to fight for their lives in the face of huge profits. At least half of the guys who come to Wildfire Town come to dream of making money.

And every once in a while, there are always one or two lucky people who travel through the wildfire land for a lifetime and come to the other side's country. They have successfully traded and become rich overnight. This stimulates more people to come to the wildfire land with their dreams of getting rich.

There is a saying on the wildfire field: Go outside the town, take a shovel, and shovel a shovel of soil in the wilderness, and the corpses of adventurers are buried underneath.

When Xia Leiming walked into the black street, his waist was straight, mainly because he had filled his stomach - thanks to the fool liar who came from other places.

Black Street is no different from the past, except that the thieves that occupied Wildfire Town were driven away a few days ago. Now the soldiers of a mercenary group patrolling the road are used to this kind of thing. Moreover, these mercenary groups that occupied Wildfire Town are very disciplined and have not increased the tax rate.

By the way, the tax rate in Wildfire Town is very simple. There is only one tax here: the tax on entering the city! No matter who you are or what your identity is, when you enter the city, you must pay a copper tax on the head according to the head.

Apart from that, there are no commercial taxes and any other taxes here.

When Xia Leiming entered the city today, he handed the last copper plate in his pocket to the warriors at the city gate.

So, if he can't find a job today to make some money, then he really has to join the Beggars' Sect...

The crowds were crowded on the black streets, and quarrels and shouts came from shops and street stalls on both sides... The people here are tough, and most of the people who dare to come to such places to take risks are not good-looking - so there are no good people in Wild Fire Town. These tough guys even bargaining seems to be swearing.

Occasionally, some drunks were thrown out of the pavilion on the side of the road and threw them into the garbage dump in the corner of the wall.

There are also some suspicious guys who are sneaking around the crowd, and they are doing gold-fingered (thieves) work.

Fortunately, no gold finger would notice Shaya Leiming—he looked worse than a beggar.

Xia Leiming followed the crowd, looking around, looking for jobs that could make money. His idea was very simple, and he had to make some money first. His plan was to make a guest appearance as a witch hunter.

The witch hunter and the hunter are two different professions. Although the work they do is generally similar, the objects they hunt are different.

Hunter, fighting rabbits, foxes, pheasants, coyotes, etc. As long as you can shoot arrows, you can get traps and traps.

But the witch hunter only has one thing to hunt: the monster!

Originally, when the old guy was alive, Xia Leiming was forbidden from hunting monsters, but Xia Leiming didn't want to be a rustic hunter nesting in the mountains all his life. The life of the witch hunter is full of adventure and excitement, and he can make money. This is what young people yearn for.

Therefore, he had secretly done this kind of thing several times without hiding it from the old guy and successfully hunted some monsters. Unfortunately, he had never saved any money. Most of his income turned into alcohol and filled the stomachs of two drunkards at home.

Finally, Xia Leiming found a target.

Just at the end of the black street, there is a sign hanging at the door of a small shop.

"I'm looking for a lot of money to buy Warcraft cubs..."
