Buildings and houses can be seen carved out of the whole rock or mountain wall everywhere in the city of Eskil, which is built on the mountain, and the blue-white diabase that is the most abundant on the mountain has become the preferred material for all construction, and many people even dig houses and various buildings directly on those large diabase stones.
Those houses and buildings are small, just a house of more than 10 square meters on the side of the street, but the large ones are like those high-rise buildings built of reinforced concrete in other cities, nestled between the mountains, which can be hundreds of meters high.
Unlike those reinforced concrete buildings and houses, the houses and buildings here are carved out of the stones, and their shapes are the natural lines of the rocks or mountains themselves, without much trace of artificial modification, if it is not for the doors and windows installed on the buildings, from the shape alone, from a distance, you can hardly see the difference between them and ordinary boulders or mountain walls.
These buildings give the city a bizarre and rugged feel.
Corresponding to this strange and rugged atmosphere is the strong commercial atmosphere and barbaric atmosphere here.
On the streets here, the signboards of the merchant companies can be seen everywhere, and similarly, even if it is pouring rain outside, people carrying various weapons on the street can be seen everywhere, as long as it is a man, most of them will carry a very conspicuous weapon, and even many women and children have swords on their bodies, Zhang Tie has seen such a city for the first time.
In the heavy rain, Zhang Tie's figure quickly drilled through the alleys and streets in Eskir City, because it was raining, so he ran without attracting the attention of others, in such weather, it is normal for a traveler who has just arrived in Eskil City to find a place to shelter from the rain or settle down.
Zhang Tie, who knew that he had been targeted by the people of Demon Snake Island, of course would not run around recklessly like this, but wanted to find a place to change his face first.
Just over ten minutes later, Zhang Tie found a barber shop in a narrow street that was not very busy.
Because it was raining, there were few pedestrians on the street outside, and there was no business in the barber shop, and a male barber in his forties sat bored under the sign in front of the shop and looked at the strings of water flowing down the eaves through the glass window.
Zhang Tie, who came to the door of the store, shook the waterproof poncho on his body and walked to the store.
"Do you want to hide from the rain, it doesn't matter, you can find a place to sit by yourself, if you want to read the newspaper, the newspaper is on the table, you can take it yourself, but the newspaper is already three days ago" Seeing Zhang Tie come in, the barber said to Zhang Tie quite casually.
Zhang Tie smiled, untied the poncho and the bag he was carrying, and put it behind the door of the barbershop, "Give me a haircut" "Do you want to cut your hair?"
the barber in the shop glanced at Zhang Tie, and immediately came to his senses, and immediately beckoned Zhang Tie to sit in front of the mirror, and put a haircut cloth on Zhang Tie's body.
"What kind of haircut do you want to get?"
"It's good to be natural, not too unconventional, but to be significantly different from what it looks like now, I like freshness," Zhang Tie said casually.
"That's good" Under the flying scissors of the barber, after a while, the hairstyle on Zhang Tie's head became much shorter, changed its appearance, and looked more bright and full of youth.
Zhang Tie looked in the mirror and nodded, "Can you dye your hair here?"
"Yes" "Then help me dye my hair."
"Your blonde hair looks good."
"Well, I want to change the color, it looks fresher," Zhang Tie scratched his head and said.
It is impossible for the people of Demon Snake Island to have his current photo, he is not a celebrity, and there are very few people who know him here, so the key to the people of Demon Snake Island to find him is the description of his appearance, such as his appearance, hairstyle, etc., sometimes, to make it impossible for people on Demon Snake Island to find him, or to increase the difficulty for those people to find him, there is no need for a complete makeover, just need to make some of his appearance characteristics look a little different from before, which is the easiest that has been proven by countless practices, The easiest way to make yourself disappear into the crowd.
"You young people like to be different, say, what color do you want to dye your hair in, my hair dye here comes from the juice of the petals and rhizomes of the unique thousand-colored flowers in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, and it costs a lot to dye your hair once, at least four silver coins plus the money you just got a haircut, that's four silver coins and fifty coppers."
"No problem" "Then whatever color you want, I can mix any color hair dye here" Zhang Tie thought about the people he saw on the street just now, it seemed that there were more brown-gray hair, and then he said casually, "Then brown-gray."
"It takes about two hours to dye your hair once" "It's okay, what I have now is time" Zhang Tie smiled, and casually picked up a newspaper in front of the mirror and read it.
And the barber began to make hair dye for him.
As the barber began to color Zhang Tie's hair, Zhang Tie saw a striking piece of news on the fourth page of the newspaper, called the Eskir Daily The beast tide threatens the herb pickers of the grey hills, and the fur traders are gearing up With the outbreak of the long-dormant beast tide again, the figure of the group of iron-toothed hyenas also began to wander in the gray hills, in the past two weeks, the Adlaide merchant group, which has occupied most of the medicinal herb business in the gray hills, has more than forty people on the gray hills have died tragically under the attack of the iron-toothed hyenas, and some of the other merchants have also disappeared in the gray plains, and according to eyewitnesses, in the area where the missing herb pickers passed, traces of a large group of iron-toothed hyenas were found.
More than one herb picker who returned alive claimed to have been attacked or followed by an iron-toothed hyena.
In some villages near the Grey Hills, news of the disappearance of people and livestock has also arrived.
According to the news of a person in the Esquire Herbal Exchange, with the recent changes in the situation on the mainland, the trading of medicinal materials on the ice and snow wasteland has continued to be hot, and the demand for various medicinal materials has increased greatly.
While many in the Esquire Herb Exchange are worried about the beast tide, the fur traders are smiling, and the fur of the Iron Tooth Hyena has always been the best raw material for processing high-quality leather armor and high-grade armor lining, and in the last month, the fur of the Iron Tooth Hyena has also shown a trend of being in short supply.
The Adelaith Merchant Order is now struck a deal with the Esquir Herb Exchange and some fur traders to recruit pioneers and wandering warriors to the Grey Hills to deal with the beast tide.
All Pioneers and Free Samurai who kill an Iron Fang Hyena will not only be able to sell the Iron Fang Hyena directly to the Fur Buyer, but will also receive an additional 6 Silver Coins from the Adlaide Merchant and the Askil Herb Exchange, and their income will increase significantly.
Those who have a personal strength of level 3 or above and are interested in signing up can go to the Tiexiong Street Adelaide Business Group to consult related matters.
The first registrants will depart from Eskil on August 13 Zhang Tie's eyes swept over the newspaper at a glance, even the barber standing behind him didn't notice which news Zhang Tie was looking at in the newspaper, after reading this news, Zhang Tie was silent on the surface, but there was an urge to jump up in his heart Ha, it seems that the Ice and Snow Wasteland is really a good place, I just came, I saw such good news I don't know what the taste of the Seven Powers Fruit of the Iron Tooth Hyena is, Beast Tide, hehe, I like it Two hours later, the rain stopped, and Zhang Tie, who had changed his hairstyle and hair color, left the barber room after dropping five silver coins, and after finding a place where no one was, he casually put away his waterproof poncho as a pioneer symbol and a pioneer backpack and sleeping bag into the Black Iron Castle, and then took out an ordinary long sword from the Black Iron Castle and put it on his back again.
For Zhang Tie, the identity of the pioneer is just a justifiable cover for himself to come to the Ice and Snow Wasteland, since this cover is no longer effective, but will increase the danger of exposing himself, then, Zhang Tie naturally has no reason to cling to this temporary identity.
After doing all this, Zhang Tie only had an ordinary long sword hanging from his waist, exactly like a young wandering warrior, and after casually asking someone about the location of Iron Bear Street, he walked towards the location of the Adlaide Merchant Group unhurriedly.
It turned out that the two small measures taken by Zhang Tie to disguise his identity in these two hours were extremely necessary, because he did not expect that it was two people and not one person who were watching him at the dock.
Two-person stalking is a more secure and sophisticated stalking technique, one person in charge of stalking keeps an eye on his target, while the other person stares at his companion from a distance, so that the advantage of stalking is that it is not easy to expose himself, and the second is that even after being exposed, it will not suddenly wipe out the whole army or even have no one who can deliver the news.
After knowing that Zhang Tie had already killed the two ninth-level Round Table Warriors on Demon Snake Island, the two guys who received the order from Demon Snake Island to keep an eye on Zhang Tie in Eskir adopted this more secure and sophisticated stalking technique.
The guy who was lucky not to be killed by Zhang Tie, after discovering and losing Zhang Tie, thought of the terrible punishment of Demon Snake Island for those who couldn't complete the task, gritted his teeth, and suddenly pushed Zhang Tie into a bigger trouble When the rain stopped, a team of policemen from the Eskil City Police Station, who received the report, came to the alley where the guy who was killed by Zhang Tie was like a great enemy:
