The Acropolis, the outer city area, is a special area that has long been famous for its chaotic order in the Yelin Empire. Such a chaotic environment, apart from the deliberate actions of the rulers, also has extremely important consequences for the environment where the Acropolis is located and the special trading method of goods.
great promotion effect.
In the entire Xingou County, the city closest to the Tianping Mountains is the Acropolis, and for the plunder of various resources within the Tianping Mountains, the Acropolis has naturally become the best starting and gathering place.
Naturally, the Acropolis is also the best place to collect and distribute all the supplies that were plundered. Only here did the Yelin Empire relax its management a little and turn a blind eye to private hunting of monsters and digging for medicinal materials.
One eye, and allows private transactions and purchases.
As a super empire in the northwestern part of the continent, the Yelin Empire would certainly not release such a huge benefit from the Tianping Mountains to ordinary warriors or some small forces to carve up.
The forces that are really profiting from the outer city of the Acropolis, and the real controllers behind them, are the high-ranking officials of the empire, that is, the super families and super forces that hold power at the center of the empire.
This is also the reason why Linlang knew that there was more money in the Acropolis, but refused to intervene. Mastering the Acropolis can naturally make profits, but at the same time, it is also a place where many conflicts gather. If you want to manage the Acropolis, you must
It is necessary to balance the forces of all parties. Once something goes wrong in the middle, it will easily lead to fire.
Therefore, on the surface, the Acropolis is a "big piece of meat", but from the fact that Linlang not only did not interfere with the affairs of the Acropolis, but also sent his confidants to Hongcheng, it can be seen that this place is not as it seems on the surface.
Seeing such infinite scenery.
In the vast area east of the outer city of the Acropolis, this is actually the area controlled by the Sacrifice Hall. It is the Sacrifice Hall that competes with the empire for interests here.
Among the several major forces in the eastern city, the Bronze Hunting Group belongs to the force behind Benxiao Pavilion and Yu Pavilion. Originally, its controller was named Wu Tian. After Wu Tian lost his body in the siege of monsters,
The person in charge here becomes Lin Hu.
In today's outer city of the Acropolis, describing it as "a mixed bag of fish and dragons" seems a bit conservative, because here not only "big fish and small shrimps" can be seen everywhere, but also all kinds of "rare birds and animals" can be found in the streets and alleys.
If "rare birds and exotic beasts" are used to describe various prominent forces, in addition, the word "rare birds and exotic beasts" itself can also be understood as a literal meaning, which means that all kinds of monsters and beasts are also full of people in Wei.
Outside the city and within the city.
In the inner city, a huge number of monsters are imprisoned. In fact, various forces also hide various monsters in the outer city. The number and grade are not much worse than those in the inner city. And Boka is planning
When I made my plan, I did not take the outer city into consideration, so a large number of monsters in the outer city are now being quietly sold to the outside world.
Various chambers of commerce, caravans, aristocratic families, and sects all gathered in the outer city area at this time, which made the already chaotic outer city area suddenly become even more chaotic.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the glow turned the entire Acropolis into a golden color. People were returning to the Yeshan Inn, which was quite large in Xicheng District, one after another.
Outside the inn is a three-story stone building, with a huge circular courtyard behind it. There are long two-story wooden houses on the east and west sides, leaving a row of stables to be built along the north wall, and there are also
A huge back door was used for carriages to enter and exit.
In fact, there are many inns like this in Acropolis. The first floor of the three floors in front is where guests eat and drink, and the second and third floors are higher-grade luxury rooms. The rooms on the east and west sides of the backyard are not only small.
It's dense and dense, and at the same time, there is some odor due to the presence of the stables. Of course, the room price is also cheaper than the three-story stone building in front.
At this time, in the restaurant on the first floor of the inn, there were two people, an old man and a young man, sitting in a corner by the window facing the street. There was nothing unusual about the two people on the surface. They seemed to be waiting for some important guests.
In today's outer city, no one would pay special attention to these two people.
"If the information is correct, the Yancheng caravan should be returning soon. Will we really gain anything if we wait any longer?" The man who looked like an old man picked up the tea bowl in front of him, and before the tea was about to reach his lips, he poured it out.
The restrained voice reached the ears of the young man opposite.
Although this old man looks very old, if you observe carefully, you will find that his eyes are bright and lively. For some people who continue to practice, there is nothing special about him. But if someone hears the words he conveys,
When you hear the sound, you will immediately recognize that it is definitely a sound that only young people can make.
The young man opposite the old man held a folding fan in his hand. In this late winter, the cold wind was biting and even biting, but he still waved the folding fan gently, which can be said to be the standard style of a young man from an aristocratic family.
The young man cast his gaze on the street, his eyes scanning quickly, and then a subtle mental fluctuation was transmitted, and at the same time his voice was transmitted.
"If my guess is correct, they just want to send out a signal now, a signal of their own existence. They do not need to take the initiative to contact any forces or people, because that will only arouse the vigilance of the villagers, they only need to let
The villagers can just find them themselves, which is what I call 'fishing'."
This young man dressed like a young man is actually able to transmit sounds with his spiritual power. Even if someone is sitting right next to him, he won't be able to notice it at all.
Even if he was very familiar with the two of them, he would definitely not recognize that the old man was the original bald young man Amber, and the other was Zuo Feng, a well-known "imperial traitor" in the Acropolis.
In fact, Zuo Feng was speechless about the term "traitor". When had he belonged to the empire, and had never made a commitment to serve the Yelin Empire, how could he suddenly become a "traitor".
The current situation is only favorable to Zuo Feng, because the information obtained by the Acropolis is that he had left the Acropolis before dawn the previous day, and only a few people knew that he was still alive.
In the city.
"How can you be sure that people in the village will definitely contact them on their own initiative? At this time, they should be more cautious to be more prudent."
Amber, who had made up to look like an old man, spoke again doubtfully, seeming to have some doubts about Zuo Feng's judgment.
Shaking his head gently, Zuo Feng slowly withdrew his gaze, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings seemingly unintentionally. At this time, more people were eating, but it was certain that no one noticed the two of them.
"If you think about it, if you think about it, even if Zuojiacun didn't know its situation at first because of the information blockade, how could it not be aware of the current danger at this time.
I believe that they are not necessarily eager to find me at this time, but they are definitely eager to get away. And at this time, if there is someone with a name like 'Yancheng Caravan', there is a high possibility that they will try to fight with the other party.
touch.
There is obviously a lot of danger in directly contacting the Yancheng caravan on the street. First of all, the identity of this caravan cannot be determined, and there are many eyes and ears on the street. If someone is accidentally discovered, everyone will be in danger."
After a pause, Zuo Feng continued: "So after I thought about it, if the people in Zuojia Village choose to take the initiative to contact, then this inn is the best place. I just don't know if I can stop them in advance. They must not be allowed to have contact with the people in the village.
Get in touch."
During this period, Zuo Feng not only carefully observed all the suspicious people coming in and out of the inn, but also used his telekinesis to carefully detect everyone who entered the inn.
As he said, the best result is to stop Zuojia Village before it comes into contact with the "Yancheng Caravan". The best thing is to be able to get in touch with the people of Zuojia Village before the opponent.
The plan was originally very good, but seeing that it was getting late and the "Yancheng Caravan" was about to return to the inn, Zuo Feng's heart gradually sank.
‘Could it be that Zuojiacun hasn’t discovered this caravan yet? It’s not impossible. After all, the entire outer city is in chaos. It’s not impossible that such an “inconspicuous” caravan didn’t attract attention.
However, just because it has not attracted attention for the time being does not mean that it will never attract attention. If I want to stop it, I have to find the people in Zuojia Village first, or find a way to expose the true identity of this Yancheng caravan. But once
If I do this, I'm afraid the fact that I'm still in the Acropolis will be exposed.'
While Zuo Feng was frowning and thinking secretly, Amber across from him slowly opened his mouth and said, "I'm back."
In this chaotic environment, a "Yancheng Caravan" seems a bit inconspicuous. There are only a dozen people in the caravan, and they act very low-key. They have no knowledge of the most popular monsters and monster materials.
They are not interested, but are extremely concerned about medicinal materials and refining materials, so they almost always come back empty-handed in the past few days.
Zuo Feng turned his gaze to the window and saw the caravan slowly approaching. At the center of the team was a young man of about twenty years old. I don't know whether it was because of his attire or makeup, but he was actually the same as Zuo Feng.
There are still three or four similarities. In addition to the fact that there are men and women in the team, on the surface it is not much different from ordinary caravans.
When he saw the caravan returning, Zuo Feng suddenly cheered up. Looking at the other party's expression, he could tell that they had not yet successfully contacted the people in Zuojia Village, which was undoubtedly a problem for him.
good news.
I saw a group of people filing in and walking straight into the inn. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have no intention of eating on the first floor. Everyone walked straight towards the stairs.
But just as he was passing by the inn counter, one of the waiters suddenly shouted: "Sir, are you from the Yancheng Caravan?"
When he opened his mouth, not only everyone in the caravan, but also Zuo Feng and Hu Hu were shocked. The guy took out a wooden box from under the counter and said, "This is something else."
Guest, please give this to you."
Hearing this, Zuo Feng's heart sank. Although he was very careful, Zuojiacun still contacted the other party.
"Why are you so careless? You should be more cautious!" Zuo Feng frowned, and the situation finally developed in the direction he least wanted to see. 6
