The border town has no exact name, and it was originally a trading market place that was agreed upon by merchants and surrounding tribes.

Gradually, more and more people came to trade, and the market time was getting longer and longer, attracting the attention of horse thieves.

The horse thieves built a small town here, washed it and made a living by tax revenues in the city. At the same time, it was also to prevent other horse thieves from eating badly.

Gradually, the permanent population of this small town has increased, becoming the largest gathering point of humans within a radius of hundreds of kilometers - the long-term population is at least 20,000. The time period with the largest number of travelers is even more than 30,000.

Because this city is located in an excessive area between grasslands and deserts, it also belongs to the border between them - the Gobi Desert. So people call it a border town.

There is no desert near the border town, and the eyes are full of gravel. Only some drought-resistant shrubs can be seen occasionally. Now it is winter, and it is even more bleak.

In this area, there is little precipitation, but you can also see some residual snow that has not been blown away by the wind in the depressions and leewards of the bushes.

Border town is a cargo distribution center with a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

To the east, there is an endless desert. If someone comes in this direction, either the tribes of the nomadic tribes who bring goods to trade, or the caravans who go back from purchasing goods.

Occasionally, caravans bring goods produced by other countries in the east and cross the desert.

If there are lonely travelers in this direction, they will be particularly shocking.

This morning, such a person came.

He walked near the east gate of the border town with a gray hooded head.

The guard stopped him: "What are you doing?"

Under the cloak, there was a rare young man with black hair. He raised his head and said, "Go into the city."

"Magic?" The guards respected a lot. "Adventurer?"

The young man nodded.

He said he was a magician in this world, so no one would object. Moreover, he came to this world from Earth, which could probably be considered an adventurer.

Although I have basically never encountered anything dangerous.

——This young man is undoubtedly Lin Lang.

The guards quickly moved aside: "Your Excellency is offended."

Maybe their city lord would not take a magician of unknown cultivation level to heart, but these little minions dare not offend such a top-notch person.

Lin Lang nodded slightly and walked through the door opening.

The walls of the border city are not high, only four or five meters high. Nomads and horse thieves who are not good at attacking the city are basically enough. The door opening is not small, and it looks like two carriages can be passed in parallel.

Although it was not long before dawn, when you entered the city gate, you will find that the narrow streets were full of hawkers.

Hawkers are not necessarily small-scale business. Many caravans send people to display cargo samples to set up stalls.

If you meet a big customer who is interested in goods, the vendor will take the customer to the inn and discuss with the caravan.

Of course, some locals also sell some things, such as handicrafts, fur obtained from hunting themselves, and medicinal materials collected. Some also sell food.

Lin Lang looked like he was exhausted, but in fact, he had lived a pretty good life in the past two months.

I found the tribe that I had traded before and came down from the sky. I stayed in this tribe for a few days and collected all the things I wanted to purchase, so I flew to the next trading partner.

Along the way, he either rested in the felt sheds of those tribes or flew in the sky, without any fatigue.

However, he still found an inn to stay in.

There are many inns in the border town, most of which cover a large area and are on two or three floors.

Because there are many business dealers here. When doing inns, business is usually very good.

However, in such a place where sandstorms are often present, no matter how good the environment is, it will not be much better.

Most inns are concentrated in the north of the city, and many caravans will stay in these inns because these inns provide temporary cargo stands.

Of course Lin Lang is here to trade, but he doesn't need a warehouse.

The inn guy who greeted him was a Mishen man.

The guy was diligently leading to the third floor, and the first floor was the best rooms in the inn.

Lin Lang naturally would not treat himself badly. After seeing the room, he popped a mitral coin to the inn's servant: "Just this one."

"Thank you for your reward... I'll go and get water for you."

Lin Lang's face was not dirty. But this was the service that the inn should have, and he could not let others down.

Mi Shanren sent a copper plate of hot water, Lin Lang casually washed his face, and then bounced a mitral coin out, asking, "What's new in the city recently?"

Mi Shanren smiled and said, "Reply to your words, some time ago, people from the Lasso Tribe came to the north and brought a lot of Weila oil. However, the price was too high and they couldn't be sold. I heard that the price may be reduced now."

Vila oil?

Last time he came to make it, bought a little. It was an edible and can also be used as a grease for making high-quality lamp oil and candles.

It is said to be a kind of oil from cold animals.

After Lin Lang bought some, he did not find any other special uses.

However, I heard that I brought a lot of them here, and he was a little interested. The thing was really good for candles. Not only did it have no smoke, but it also brought a fragrance.

"Oh, know how many they brought?"

"Hehe, they live in our inn... It seems that there are more than 60 cars, and each car is loaded with twenty or thirty barrels."

The "bucket" that the guy mentioned is a small wooden barrel made by the Lasso people themselves.

It is hollowed out directly using a kind of cork. It is of different sizes, but it can usually hold about ten kilograms of oil.

Sixty cars are only more than 10,000 kilograms. This amount is pitifully small for the highly developed industrial earth.

But in the magical world, transporting more than 10,000 kilograms of goods in the ice and snow is a difficult thing.

He asked, "What price do they offer?"

"I need to change a bag of salt for a bucket."

In the border town, salt is based on bags. A bag is about two kilograms, and it is coarse salt.

For Lin Lang, this price can only be described in two words: cheap.

He nodded and said, "Please contact me. If they haven't sold it yet, tell them, I'll ask for all the Vila oils."

"Ah, I want it all?"

The guy didn't underestimate Lin Lang's financial resources, but Lin Lang stayed alone and didn't take the goods with him.

But the guy thought about it again. Maybe he was just a representative of the caravan or a front-line force. The goods would probably come soon.

"Yes, the young man will go and pass the message now."

Lin Lang was not planning to let him go: "What are the adventurers in the city recently?"

"It's quite a lot. The weather is not good now, and many adventurers stay in the city. However, those with higher abilities have gone out of the city."

Lin Lang asked again: "How are those adventurers getting?"

This question is not a random question.

If you say that the inn guy is not an adventurer, he will not know how others gain.

But in addition to being able to serve people, the inn has another advantage, that is, it is well-informed and unconsciously exchanges for mobile phone information.

So Lin Lang blasted him another MINI silver coin.

"I still get a lot of gains. I often see adventurers selling magic crystals on the streets.

"And I heard that those merchants received a lot of high-level magic crystals last year."

Lin Lang inquired about some news before letting the guy go.

But then, Mishanren came back: "Your Excellency, please go and talk."

Of course, Lin Lang would not refuse to meet.

The other party agreed to meet in the restaurant on the first floor.

When I left the guest room, I happened to meet three people going upstairs.
