Excited, Barossa told Chen Daolin what she knew about this legendary town.
It turned out that this so-called "Paradise of Freedom" was really famous on the mainland, and even this fame spread far away to the elves in the depths of the frozen forest.
Speaking of which, the existence of this town is also quite legendary.
As early as more than a hundred years ago, in the late stage of the war between humans and aliens, the commander of the human race at that time, Duke Tulip, led the army to launch a counteroffensive, crushing the alien coalition army in one fell swoop.
It was this battle that completely established the victory of mankind.
Forced the alien to bow his head.
Subsequently, the war ended, the aliens admitted defeat, and the Roland Empire was exhausted by the protracted war.
In the end, with the cooperation of Duke Tulip and the leader of the alien alliance, the elf king Luoxue, the two sides entered into post-war negotiations.
That negotiation directly divided the sphere of influence of alien races and humans, and the entire Roland Continent was bordered by the Kaspersky Line of the Roland Empire in the north, the territory of the Roland Empire in the south, and the habitat of the alien race in the north.
This situation is already the best that humanity can achieve.
The northern plains north of the Kaspersky Line are small, barren and uninhabitable, with vast ice-covered forests.
But the alien race, as the defeated side, had to sign such a peace treaty.
Since then, the area north of the Kaspersky Line, with the only exception of the alien race, is a small town located dozens of miles north of the eastern fortress.
Although this town is geographically located north of the border of the Roland Empire, it should belong to the orcs.
But this town is an exception.
Just because this town is the place where Du Wei, the first Duke of Tulip, was the representative of the Roland Empire and signed a post-war treaty with the leaders of foreign giants At the time of the signing, the human army had already taken over the town, and the alien coalition had been defeated.
Most of the human army retreated south of the border, but the town remained occupied by the Rolands.
The orcs tried to send someone to take over the town several times, but the Roland Empire refused.
After several verbal battles and bickering between the two sides, the Roland Empire finally let go.
In fact, the reason for letting go is very simple: it is too difficult from a military point of view to continue to occupy such a small town in the territory of dozens of miles deep into the border of the orc kingdom.
The humans obviously don't want to leave this monumental place for the orcs, after all, this is the place where the humans forced the aliens to sign the defeated treaty.
And the great and legendary Tulip First Duke Du Wei came up with a plan, he negotiated with the orcs, made a pact, in order to prove that "humans and orcs will be friendly forever, friendship will last forever", the town will be a permanent neutral existence.
As a free place outside the two countries.
Both the Roland Empire and the Orc Empire took the initiative to give up their sovereignty over this town, and they were not allowed to send troops to occupy it, and they were not allowed to interfere with this neutral and free place.
Although the orcs were quite unwilling, after all, the situation was stronger than humans at that time, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it.
As a result, the town was transformed into a paradise of complete freedom in such a state of anarchy and statelessness.
When the army of the Roland Empire withdrew, some tribes of orcs originally wanted to come and settle in this town, but they did not expect that a considerable number of human residents had already been left in the town.
These first-generation human inhabitants were many retired proletarian veterans from the Roland Empire.
The town occupied by thousands of veterans is not something that ordinary orc tribes can gnaw down.
At the beginning, the orcs didn't want to play yin, and wanted to organize a small tribe to pretend to be bandits to seize the town, you know, in that war era, most of these veterans were elite small tribes who had survived a hundred battles, and they could only be sent to death if they went.
To play with the mind, orcs are far from being the opponents of humans.
Although the orcs later tried to mobilize some of the population to infiltrate the town, after the first ten years, it was completely squeezed out by the humans.
Later, I heard that a small number of orcs who finally stayed in the town were actually assimilated by humans, and some orcs were willing to serve humans and serve as slaves However, due to the contract, the orcs did not dare to send troops to openly occupy this town.
So, the town has been preserved.
After a hundred years, the town was sandwiched between the Orc Kingdom and the Roland Empire, and because of its special geographical location, it became an important channel for many private transactions between the two countries, and it could even be said that it became the largest market for smuggling transactions between the two countries.
The status of the hub of the north-south trade route, coupled with the development of a hundred years, the town has grown from a population of thousands to tens of thousands of people called "town" today, in fact, in terms of scale, it is much larger than many small cities in the Roland Empire.
The name of the town is called Barossa's eyes lit up: "I heard that this name was given by the first Duke of Tulip, which means that the town will become a free seaport on land."
Because of its special geographical location, all kinds of rare goods from the north and south will gather there and trade freely."
"Land and seaport" Chen Daolin's eyes glowed, and his heart "gave birth to a lot of curiosity and interest" in this legend.
Coming from the real world, he knows very well that any port of free trade is often a very prosperous and vibrant place.
And this town is located in the middle of the two forces, and there is no official transaction between the Roland Empire and the Orc Kingdom, all the transactions are from private transactions or smuggling, as long as a small part of this town is gathered, it is enough to make this town one of the most prosperous places in the world Chen Daolin and Barossa were talking in a low voice, and when his face was full of curiosity and yearning, he heard the cold voice of the Messiah next to him: "Mr.
Darling, what your elf friend said is good, but I'm afraid she thinks of this town too well." ” "Oh" Chen Daolin raised his head, looked at the Messiah who was sitting in the carriage, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "What advice does the Duke have?"
Messiah smiled lightly: "Now this town, because it is a land that does not care about the laws of the Roland Empire, the orcs are even more powerless.
Such a town, with your cleverness, Mr.
Darling, may well guess what it is most abundant."

Chen Daolin pondered for a while, and said slowly: "I think there must be a lot of smuggling contraband." ” He sighed and added: "Without official rectification, the trade between these two countries is extremely profitable, especially those prohibited items, which must be smuggled with amazing benefits, and without control, these things must be rampant here." ” "Yes, this town is famous for its rule: as long as you pay for it, you can buy anything in it," Messiah said leisurely, and even deliberately glanced at Barossa, and said lightly: "Even the trade in the trade of elven slaves, which has been ordered to prohibit in the empire, is not taken care of here, and when I passed by before this trip north, I heard that there was a slave trade team selling elven slaves not long ago. ” Barossa's face turned pale, and anger welled up in her eyes.
"This elf friend doesn't have to look at me like that."
Messiah said lightly: "Most of the slave traders are from the orc kingdom.
As far as I know, several of the major human trade groups have agreed not to participate in this dirty activity, of course, they just promise not to hunt, but the purchase cannot be forbidden. ” "Hmph, if there is no transaction, there is no killing," Chen Daolin suddenly said in his mouth.
Messiah's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but glance at Chen Daolin: "What you said is very reasonable." ” After a pause, she continued: "In addition to the abundance of all kinds of illegal and prohibited trades, this is another famous mainland specialty, Mr.
Darling, guess what it is?"
Narcotics and munitions Well, these are also prohibited transactions Chen Daolin thought about it and looked at the Messiah with a frown.
Seeing that Chen Daolin didn't speak, the Messiah actually showed a smug look in his eyes, these days the two chatted every day in fact, they were fighting openly and secretly, and it was rare to see this guy deflated, which made the young master of the tulip family quite happy in his heart, she smiled lightly, and said: "This other specialty is a wanted criminal."
Chen Daolin's eyes immediately tightened.
"Since it is not the territory of the Roland Empire, the laws of the Roland Empire naturally can't control it.
And because of the agreement with the orcs, the imperial army and official forces are not allowed to enter, so for a hundred years, this has become the best place for all desperate wanted criminals on the continent and a paradise to get away with their crimes. ” The Messiah said: "All kinds of criminals on the continent, no matter what kind of great sin they have committed, whether they are wanted by the Empire or hunted down by the Church, as long as they have the ability to escape from the northern border and enter this sphere of influence, they are equivalent to entering heaven, which is a region where neither side is cared."
It can be said that this place is full of people with hidden identities from within the Roland Empire.
And in recent years, some of the guys who have committed serious crimes in the orc kingdom will also flee to find a way to survive.
So, the second specialty of this town, which is famous in the mainland, is the wanted criminal":
