Episode 1 Martial Arts Master Chapter 40 The Secret to Passing the Level
"Don't want to talk? Haha, don't be so boring. I'm a good person. Tell me your contact information. I think I can have a drink with you after get off work. Well, you know how annoying this hot weather is."
Simon was tyrannical in the port of Kuzeskar, and when he came to the city of Elida, he was powerless and powerless. He was three points shorter than other people at that time, but he realized that he was a hero in the current situation. He hurried over and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, she is my sister.
"
The guard turned to Simon and immediately changed his expression to a fierce look: "You, go over there and check."
There are a few armored Paladins over there holding crystal balls in their hands who are testing the people who are about to enter the city, trying their best to identify those who are contaminated with demonic aura. After all, Simon is a knight and can definitely know that his body has been cleared.
Aubrey didn't think so, and obviously had no confidence in Tyril Hill. He grabbed a knife and prepared to deal with the upcoming conflict. The atmosphere was quite strange for a while, and he froze on the spot.
The guard sneered and said, "What do you think I'm doing? Are you refusing to be examined? You country bumpkins are so brave. Do you believe I can kill you right away?"
Not to be outdone, Aubrey frowned and said, "If you have the guts, just give it a try."
The guard touched his chin and walked around Aubrey, laughing non-stop: "Oh my, I really didn't realize it, but he has a tough temper. Hey, boy, do you know who you are talking to?
"
Simon quickly pulled away from Aubrey and was about to say a few words, but Shen Zhimo already slapped the guard on the shoulder hard. Simon was screaming, he was asking for trouble here with the guards guarding the city, wasn't he asking for trouble?
The guard gritted his teeth and cracked his mouth in pain, and was extremely angry. Little did he know that Shen Zhimo smiled brighter than Simon. He stuffed a handful of silver coins in his hand and said with a smile: "Brothers, the guards are working hard for the peace of the city."
We couldn't stand the tiredness of running around, so we spent the little money on drinking."
Ordinary people who do not have a residence permit in Elida City need to spend fifty copper coins to enter the city. The guards often increase the price to sixty or seventy copper coins without authorization, taking the opportunity to line their own pockets. The handful of silver coins that Shen Zhimo thrust over was far beyond expectations.
The guard was surprised and happy. He quickly looked around, quickly put the money into his arms, nodded to Shen Zhimo, coughed heavily, walked to the knights, pointed out five silver coins and handed them over, pretending to be nonchalant and said: "Sir, sir,
They are all my relatives from the countryside, you see..."
The paladin also smiled normally, waved his hand and said: "Since they are your relatives, what else is there to say, let them in."
The guards sneered at Shen Zhimo and his party, and everyone finally stepped into this land.
Tall buildings stand next to each other, and the streets are very wide and clean, with pedestrians coming and going, and the sound of hawking coming and going. Occasionally, a gorgeous carriage will pass by, which will always cause passers-by to rush to avoid it.
Simon followed Shen Zhimo and flattered him: "Mr. Saga, you are so amazing. You managed to get the guard to change his attitude without making a move. What method did you use?"
Shen Zhimo said disdainfully: "Huh, in the hearts of those losers, the power of money is far greater than that of Holy Light."
Simon suddenly realized: "Bribery, I understand, it is bribery. These greedy guys!"
"They will spit it out ten times in the future." Shen Zhimo said: "Elida City is your hometown. You should be our guide. Now there are more than ten of us. We must first find a place to stay."
"After being expelled from the Holy See, I sold my house. But don't worry, I have a friend who opened a hotel near the Arcane Academy. There are plenty of rooms. With my friendship with him, can I still let him stay? Besides,
Don’t we still have a lot of money left? We can spend some at critical moments.”
"Yes, let's do as you say. After a period of time when things stabilize, we can think of other ways. We can't rely on others."
The other people have been living here all the way from the Kuzeskar Port, like rootless duckweeds. They cannot express their own opinions. Shen Zhimo can just say whatever he says.
"We don't have much money." Shen Zhimo pointed to the fur vendor in front and told Aubrey: "Go and ask him for some money to spend."
Aubrey nodded her nose: "Me? You don't even think about whether someone will give it to you? What a joke, I won't go."
Everyone also found Shen Zhimo's words a bit strange. We have no reason to know each other, so why should they give you money? Simon said: "Mr. Saga, this is not an unregulated place like Kuzeskal Port. Ilida
The city is heavily guarded, and we don’t have a residence permit. If we blackmail him and are caught by the military police, we will definitely be expelled."
"You idiots, wait here and watch." Shen Zhimo inserted the wrist-breaking knife into his waist, and Shi Shiran walked over and started the first business. Everyone was stunned: "How audacious! You know everyone in the capital."
A guard has the power of an intermediate warrior or above, do you think it is as simple as fishing for shrimps?"
There are scattered vendors on both sides of the street, placed next to the aisles, which do not affect the walking of passers-by. There are many kinds of goods, either retail or wholesale. As long as the price is right, there will always be people to buy them. These are usually from out of town.
Small craftsmen and farmers. The taxes and fees for selling here are not as expensive as in the market, but they have to endure inspections and extortion by guards, and there will also be ruffians who come to cause trouble, so those who set up stalls nearby are good ones.
Those who are brave and ruthless will immediately draw their swords at the slightest disagreement.
There are even more people who specialize in fraud. They buy some cheap goods in the market and put them on display. Once someone asks the price, they will raise the price ten times. If you don't buy it, a group of accomplices will immediately surround you and leave if you don't buy it.
No. These people often provide generous kickbacks for patrolling around, so the guards turn a blind eye to their behavior and acquiesce to their existence.
Shen Zhimo squatted down in front of the stall, holding a piece of yellow fur and asked: "How do you sell this?"
The businessman immediately smiled enthusiastically and said: "Sir, you are really discerning. This is the most authentic prairie pine raccoon skin. I am a hunter. I spent three days and three nights on the northern grasslands to get it. It only costs ten silver coins."
Isn’t it cheap? I don’t have much to say about this leather product, I just want it to be genuine. Look, the fur is bright enough and soft to the touch. If you wear it around your neck in winter, you won’t feel cold even when you go to places like Star Frost Forest.
"
Shen Zhimo shook his hand, and some scraps of fur on his skin fell off like powder. It felt rough and hard, which was far different from what the businessman said. He expected that it would definitely not be the fur of a prairie pine raccoon. He remained calm and said,
He smiled and said: "It's only ten silver coins. Haha, it's worth the money. I bought it." He took out ten silver coins and handed it out, preparing to point out that it was a fake and then blackmail him again.
