As the saying goes, the bustling crowds are all for the benefit of coming, and the bustling crowds are all for the benefit of the going.
As the leading orc city nearby, Pixiu City learned from the economic model of human society and put forward the development concept of prospering the city through trade. Coupled with favorable city planning policies, it quickly developed into a regional trade center and goods distribution center.
There is an endless stream of merchants and dealers traveling from north to south, creating a prosperous scene.
It's just that the people here are not human beings, but orcs, and there are many mutated beasts that have not transformed.
However, under the influence of the culture of the orc tribe, both orcs and mutant beasts regard human language as the first communication language, and the unification of this language is obviously the reason that promotes the prosperity of Pixiu City.
one.
At this moment, a fox orc carrying a large bag and a wagging tail came to the city gate.
A horse orc guard stopped the other party and said: "Mr. Fox, please show me your pass."
"Pass?" The fox-orc man was startled, "What kind of pass? Why do you need a pass to enter the city?"
"Where did you come from?" The horse-orc man looked at the other person curiously, "Why don't you have a pass?"
"I'm from the Hu family's nest," the fox orc man's eyes were a little dull, "No one told me what pass to get."
"The fox's nest?" The horse-orc man said with a smile, "Why didn't I...hehe, where is the fox's nest?"
"The Fox's Nest is right at the Fox's Nest," the fox orc pointed to the north with his hand, "It's in that direction.
You look like an educated person with a bull-headed face and a horse-faced face. Why don’t you know?
Forget it.
Let me tell you.
There is the Hujiawozi River there.
There is also Hujiawozi Mountain.
Between Hujiawozi River and Hujiawozi Mountain, there is Hujiawozi Town.
In Hujiawozi Town, between Hujiawozi River and Hujiawozi Mountain, there is Hujiawozi Village.
My name is Hu Bayi.
That’s where it came from.”
"Haha, the name is good." The horse-orc man couldn't help but smile, "Your place should be relatively far away from Pixiu City, right?
It seems that I have never heard of this place called Hujiawozi.
Well, Mr. Hubayi, you came here to..."
"What else can I do?" The fox-orc man patted the big bag behind him, "Of course it's to sell things.
Sell something, then buy something to take back."
"Open the bag and take a look, what's in it..." The horse orc pointed at the bag behind the fox orc.
However, before he finished speaking, an ox-orc came next to him and said: "Old Ma, are you free?
Do you see how long the queue behind you has been?
Let it go quickly.
Didn’t the Lord City Lord just give an explanation?
Pixiu City is a free trade center.
As long as you don't evade taxes, you can sell anything freely."
"Yes, yes, the bull team is right, forget it, forget it," the horse orc man smiled, and then waved to the fox orc man, "Let's go.
Remember to apply for a pass next time.
Otherwise, you will be fined."
"Okay, I got it. I'll definitely bring you a letter of recommendation next time." The fox orc sorted out his backpack, "Then thank you, Guard Ma."
"It's not a letter of recommendation, it's a pass," the horse-orc man held up an object that looked like a piece of wood. "You can go to your Hujiawozi Town to get it."
"Okay, you'd better come here. I'll get you a temporary pass. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble if you encounter inspection when you enter the city." The bull orc pointed at the wooden table on the side of the city gate, "Come on.
One Source Stone coin is charged.
What's your name?"
"Hu Bayi," the fox beastman said, neither humble nor arrogant, "Hu Bayi, a native of Hujiawozi Village in Hujiawozi Town, between Hujiawozi Mountain and Hujiawozi River."
"Haha." The ox-orc chuckled lightly and said nothing.
Quickly, he carved a few words on a palm-sized wooden piece, stamped a seal on it, and handed it to the fox beast casually: "An Origin Stone coin."
"So expensive?" The fox orc took the thin slice and looked at it, "Can you give it to me next time?"
"Without this, if you encounter an inspection in the city, you will be fined 10 Origin Stone coins at a time." There was a hint of danger in the eyes of the bull orc, "Besides, if you continue to be verbose, I can guarantee that you will not be able to enter the city.
.”
As soon as the fox orc heard this, he immediately took out an Originium coin from his tattered pocket and put it on the table, then turned around and left.
What's interesting is that the moment the fox orc left the city gate, the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
I don’t know if it’s a mockery, a sneer, or happiness?
"hey-hey.
There are many people at the city gate.
There are both guards guarding the gate and merchants and vendors coming and going.
I stayed there for so long and no one noticed my flaws.
This shows one thing -
The effect of my transformation into a fox orc is pretty good, at least I can hide it from ordinary orcs.
If that's the case, then I should have no problem setting up a stall or walking around in Pixiu City.
hehe.
This will be much easier to handle.”
Speaking of which, Ye Chong was delayed for a while at the city gate, of course there was a reason.
One was because he needed a pass to enter the city and he didn't have one. It was normal for him to be questioned.
The other is him testing his ability to make up.
If the stuffing is leaked, it is certainly better than being discovered in the city.
At the very least, outside the city, it would be easier for him to run away.
If we were in the city, it would be difficult to run away.
As for the underground tunnel?
Orcs are not fools.
After the last great escape from the human race into the sewers, the beast race would never let the same thing happen again.
Ye Chong even felt that the orcs might have ambushed heavy troops in the underground sewers, waiting for the humans to fall into their trap.
"Um?
Pixiu City seems to have lax inspections, maybe it's just a symptom.
It's probably loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
It's okay if nothing happens.
When something goes wrong, it's a big deal.
Never take it lightly.”
For the next time, Ye Chong grinned and looked around. He looked like a mountain cannon who had never seen the world before entering the city.
However, he did not look back, nor did he show any signs of vigilance.
However, he always felt as if something was not quite right, as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.
Speaking of which, the prevalence of Har culture within the Orc tribe is reflected in almost every aspect of social life.
This includes delicious food.
As Ye Chong walked along, he could smell the aroma of meat, melons and fruits. Although he was not too hungry at first, he finally couldn't hold back and went into a small shop nearby called "Hump Meat House".
Oops!
As soon as you enter, a warm aroma hits your face.
Nine of the ten tables inside were full of people, but the last table had dishes and cups in a mess that had not been cleared away.
"Mr. Fox, please." A chubby-looking shop assistant pointed to an empty table and quickly cleared it away while saying, "Please sit down.
It'll be ready soon.
What do you want, Mr. Fox?”
"Is there a menu?" Ye Chong looked at the other party.
"Oh, there really isn't a menu." The store clerk raised his head and glanced at Ye Chong, "We have Camelback Ramen, Camelback Cooked Rice, Camelback White Steamed Bun, Cold Sliced Camelback and Braised Camelback in Sauce."
"Hump?" Ye Chong was slightly startled and asked curiously, "Isn't it a meat restaurant?
Why is it just rice, noodles and steamed buns?"
"It's a meat restaurant, camel hump meat, haha, it's camel hump meat. It's soft, tender and very delicious," the shop clerk said with a smile, "Mr. Fox will definitely like it."
