I really admired the courage of the founder behind the transformation of a one-hectare luxury estate into a black market market.The title of a nobleman who can own such a large mansion in the inner city must not be low, this great nobleman should have returned to his hometown in Dulva Province with his family, and the manager who stayed behind actually turned the manor into a black market, and also arranged guards at the door, collecting door taxes from buyers and sellers, that is to say, it does not cost any money to enter the door, but if you want to take away the goods, you have to pay a certain amount of tax to the market manager.The shrubs in the garden and square in front of the manor have all been removed, and the lawn is filled with all kinds of goods, and the vendors put their goods on the lawn and crouch quietly behind the piles.The so-called black market in Tanton City looks more like a second-hand market that can be bought and sold freely, here is full of old things that can be used from the ruins, including a lot of old furniture, metal utensils, broken art statues, oil paintings and some metal tools, etc., these goods occupy a large part of the market, after the fall of the entire outer city of Tanton City, the Nibru spider-men destroyed most of the buildings in the outer city, as the spider-man warriors evacuated the outer city of Tanton City, The people of the city moved all the things that were still of some value from the outer city to the inner city.Probably, no one wants to buy these rags at such a time.I asked Mr.
Billy, "If these goods can't be sold, will the seller have to pay taxes to the market manager at the end of the night?"
”Mr.
Billy said as he walked: "If you want to take the goods out of here, you have to pay taxes, and these rags will always stay in the market, and the market here is very well managed, and no one will steal these worthless things at night, and as long as you put them in the market and don't take them out, no one will collect taxes." ”Walking inside, I found that many of the things on the stalls were daily necessities, old clothes and blankets, among which blankets were more popular goods, and there were also some raw cowhides that could be used to build tents, pots and pans that could cook rice in the field, and there would be people squatting down in front of them to ask for prices.Obviously, the residents of Tanton City are worried about their current situation and will buy these outdoor goods.Maybe these things can be used when the city is broken and flees.Mr.
Billy, who was optimistic about the current situation, saw me look at the blankets tied up on a stall, glanced at the stall owner, and whispered to me: "These are the rags that no one wants, the things that the displaced homeless people have picked up from the outer city, and they put them here just to get some food to fill their stomachs." ”Seeing that I was a little hesitant, he said to me again, "Now in Tanton City, only food, magic crystals, and magic metals are hard currency. ”He pointed to the side of the manor's fountain, and said to me: "The grain trading area is on the stone steps of the castle on the other side of the fountain, and I will go there to buy some oats and wheat flour, and I have to stock up a little bit each time, and I may not know when war breaks out and the food supply will be interrupted, and when the time comes, I will not be able to buy even if I want to." ”Hearing him say this, my eyes widened and I asked him, "Mr.
Billy, are you going to take all your savings out of your savings to buy food?"
”Mr.
Billy laughed cheerfully, patted the money bag on his waist, and said to me, "Of course, the money for this food purchase is your house money." ”Mr.
Billy said that the price of wheat flour in Tanton City had increased fivefold at this time, and that a pound of wheat flour now cost about fifteen copper plates, and a silver hammer could only be exchanged for less than seven pounds of wheat flour, and that at this rate it would be impossible to afford even white bread.I came to Tanton with no interest in the city's food.If Tanton City really has a food shortage, maybe I can get some grain out of the Xinliu Valley to help the people here.Mr.
Billy saw that I was not interested, and knew that I had no interest in the food of the black market, and then he said, "I see, do you want to buy weapons?"
The weapons dealers gathered next to the stables, and they also sold some horses that had been retired from the battlefield, but you should not buy those horses, they were not injured or disabled, and they could only be bought back to kill and eat meat. ”I was a little curious and said, "Weapons are still sold on the black market?"
”Mr.
Billy's eyes were full of jealousy, and he said with palpitations: "Yes, many of the weapons dealers over there are people who go to the battlefield to pick up corpses, and most of the weapons are picked up from the battlefield, you should be careful when communicating with them, don't clash with them, they are all outlaws." ”"Oh, okay, I'll be careful."
I waved Mr.
Billy and said.Then he led Karantso, Katerina, and Justes to the stables on the left side of the manor.There were many people who came to set up stalls on the black market, and many stalls were connected to each other, dividing many winding roads in the garden and square in front of the manor.Holding Katarina's hand and walking in the bustling bazaar, there is really an indescribable beauty.The stable is actually a row of open low houses, only to find that there are a few obviously wounded horses tethered to the stable, a stall owner standing next to the stable, see pedestrians passing by, will say that these horses are some retired war horses, can carry luggage and goods easily through the Black Forest, I bypassed the horse seller, sure enough, found a stall selling weapons.These stalls selling weapons are filled with weapons of all colors, but it seems that most of them are the standard weapons in the infantry regiment, spears and sentry swords are the most common weapons in these stalls, and there is also a kind of jet-black weapon more, look at those stalls, almost every stall will have a few, more than five meters in length jet-black iron spears, and moonblade axes weighing hundreds of pounds, these are the black iron weapons of spider-man warriors, and now they can be seen everywhere in the stalls selling weapons in the black market.I stopped in front of a stall, pointed to a large iron spear, and asked the stall owner, "How much does this black iron spear cost?"
”The stall owner looked up at me and Katarina, and then at Karantso and Justes behind me, and seemed to see that we were not to be messed with, and took a deep breath before saying, "Ninety silver rings." ”A large iron spear made of magic black iron weighs more than three hundred pounds, and it is sold for less than one gold in Tanton City, which is simply the price of a cabbage, such a big iron gun can smelt at least dozens of pounds of magic black iron.I suppressed the joy in my heart, carefully counted the three heavy black iron spears and two moon-bladed axes on this stall, and asked him casually, "Where is this moon-bladed axe?"
”"One gold coin."
The stall owner said without thinking."
How can a light weapon be more expensive?"
I asked the weapon stall owner curiously."
Haha, of course the axe is more convenient to carry, why don't you even understand this truth?"
His shrill laughter was a bit harsh, and he spoke with a thick Tanton City accent, and he spoke so fast that I struggled a little to listen.He stepped on the heavy moonblade axe and said to me in a low voice, "If you can carry such an axe to Pereira City, you can sell a magic crystal from the ground, and if you can make it through the portal back to Durva, the price can be doubled."
Do you want to buy them and go back, just to smelt magical black iron?
”I nodded.He patted his forehead speechlessly, and without saying anything else, he pointed to the five black iron weapons on the ground, and said to me, "If you are willing to buy all these black iron weapons, each weapon will count you as ninety silver rings." ”I happily pulled five gold coins out of my purse and threw them at his stall.He hurriedly picked up the five gold coins, put them in his mouth one by one, bit them again and again, and when he was sure that they were correct, he immediately smiled enthusiastically, got up from behind the stall, quickly took out fifty silver coins from his money bag and handed them to me, and asked me earnestly, "Do you want to tie all these black iron weapons together for you?"
”I shook my head.Caterina beside me helped me take the heavy silver bell.I.
Manipulate a trace of mana to open the magic belt pack, and put these black iron weapons into it one by one.The stall owner stared at me with wide eyes, and was about to exclaim, but immediately closed his mouth.In this way, I took Caterina along the way to these weapon stalls to buy, almost every stall had a few black iron weapons, some more stalls, some less stalls, as long as the price was one gold, I bought all of them.In fact, I still have some other things in my magic belt pack, and after loading twenty-three black iron weapons, I have already filled the magic belt pack, but I didn't stop buying these cheap black iron weapons, but instead of figuring out the image, I tied another magic belt bag to my waist at the same time, and then continued to load the black iron weapon into the magic belt bag.The weapon stall owner's eyes widened in disbelief as I loaded the black iron weapons into my magic fanny pack, and then he glanced in the direction of the market entrance, clutching the glittering gold coins in his hand tightly and closing his mouth.Nearly every weapon stall owner was surprised to see me put the Black Iron weapon in my magic fanny pack, and then chose to shut up with the same tacit understanding.In fact, when I had five magic fanny packs around my waist, my magic apprentice's robes were already bloated, and it wasn't so pleasant to manipulate each of them with mana at the same time, so I had swept half of the black iron weapons from the weapon booth into my magic fanny pack.But then, I saw something more valuable, the bed crossbow.I didn't expect this kind of military management weapon to be placed on the back of the stall, all the stalls with bed crossbows cover a large area, because a bed crossbow is almost the size of a double bed, these are military bed crossbows, the base of the bed crossbow is more like the base of a wooden wheel carriage, on the base is installed a heavy crossbow with a wingspan of three meters, this heavy crossbow can easily shoot a three-meter-long crossbow arrow thousands of meters away.Because this kind of heavy crossbow is too bulky, so it will install a wooden wheel carriage base, so that the heavy crossbow can be pushed around, this is the original design concept of the bed crossbow, and later a winch was installed on the bed crossbow, the ordinary heavy crossbow is a warrior with both feet on the crossbow string, shoulder on the back of the crossbow, in order to pull the heavy crossbow apart.The heavy crossbow pull on these bed crossbows is designed to be stronger, even if the average warrior uses a double .
The legs can't kick the crossbow strings, but the beveltooth winch is designed on the bed crossbow, the beveltooth winch is a transmission device from the dwarven realm, and you only need to turn a rudder-like winch with your hands, and the crossbow string of the bed crossbow will be slowly tightened.The bed crossbow can be adjusted by 180 degrees in the left and right directions, but the pitch angle can only be adjusted about 30 degrees.This kind of bed crossbow is a sharp weapon to kill spider-man warriors, even if the carapace of those spider-man warriors is strong, it can't stop the bed crossbow shooting, if you can engrave wind resistance and armor-piercing on the crossbow arrows, those spider-man warriors can't resist at all, but because this kind of arrows with magic patterns attached to the magic pattern array are expensive, so it has not been able to popularize in the army.To build the town of Trum, you must eventually build a strong city wall, and if you want the town of Trum to have a certain defensive capability, it is one thing to hire some adventure groups, and on the other hand, you must form your own armament, and buy some large defensive weapons, obviously these bed crossbows are very suitable for placing on the city.In my opinion, the power of the bed crossbow is far more powerful than those catapults.The catapult must form a scale, and the coverage strike will have a certain lethality.I walked over to a stall with a row of bed crossbows, and the stall owner looked like a nobleman.
He did not have a badge of nobility, but he must have been well educated by his mannerisms and conversations, he was dressed in light leather armor, a Western sword hanging from his waist, a well-trimmed beard, a hood, and sat on a bed crossbow chatting with the stall owner next door.When he saw me coming, he immediately jumped off the crossbow on the bed, stood up straight, and saw that I was wearing a magic apprentice's robe, and nodded at me slightly, but did not speak.I asked him, "Is it okay to buy these big guys in Tanton City?"
”He smiled very freely and said to me: "If you buy a military bed crossbow in good condition, maybe when this war is over, someone from the military will come to you, but what I sell is only some loose parts removed from scrapped bed crossbows, and these bed crossbow parts are removed from bed crossbows damaged on the battlefield, which are all scrapped items" Then, in order to prove to me that these bed crossbows are loose parts, he patted the heavy crossbow on the wooden bed hard, and swore to me: "Look, this is only the upper part of the bed crossbow, When I first picked it up, only the bowed back part was intact, and it was all repaired by craftsmen to get to where it is now, don't worry, no one will trouble you when you buy these things. ”"So, how much do you have with these heavy crossbows?"
I asked the aristocratic stall owner with a smile.
