Lord of War
106. The capital of trade
"Trouble?" Sean frowned slightly, "What's so troublesome?"
Sean opened the door of the carriage and walked out. He had already seen Alfred and Cecilia getting off the second carriage, and Xiao Xina was poking her head out of the door, a little curious. looking around. Xiao En slightly turned his head and looked to the right. About 30 meters in front of the convoy, there were ten riders parked there lined up. They were wearing light leather armor. Even the drawing is exactly the same, it looks a bit like a uniform.
Of the sixteen riders on our side, except for the two riders who came to notify Sean, Alfred, and Cecilia respectively, the other fourteen riders have also gathered together, confronting each other with the ten riders on the other side. They didn't get off their horses, because the other party didn't draw their weapons, because in order to avoid some unnecessary disputes, these riders would certainly not draw their weapons, but even if they were silently confronting each other, the chilling intent was still enough It's chilling.
That's why those riders stopped thirty meters away instead of ten meters away.
As Sean and the others got out of the carriage, the drivers of the first and third carriages immediately jumped off the seats, but they did not follow Sean and the others, but quickly gathered together holding iron shields. Go to the second carriage and firmly guard the doors on both sides of the carriage to prevent possible accidents.
The long-term fighting and fighting has given these veterans an incomparable tacit cooperation and fighting awareness. No matter whether it is possible to start a war in a while, they will first firmly occupy the advantage in form. It is precisely because of this kind of caution that anyone who wants to attack the convoy of Xiao En and others must be prepared to fight a tough battle , and Sean and Alfred really don't care much if they don't have the strength above the silver level.
Seeing Xiao En and others approaching, the veterans immediately got off their horses, and then took the reins and separated on both sides, making way for Xiao En and others to stand in front.
"What's going on?" Sean looked at the other riders and asked in a deep voice.
A rider pulled the rein on the horse harness and walked a few steps forward. He glanced at Sean and the others, his eyes lingering on Cecilia for a few seconds, and then said proudly: "We are here to collect the city. Fei's one Pangea gold coin per person."
This rider had already set his sights on Sean's convoy from a long distance. After all, although the three long-distance carriages and five freight cars were not considered large in scale, they were still much stronger than ordinary merchants. And the most important thing is that the guard force of this convoy is too weak. In the area of the trading capital, this is simply declaring to all the bandits that he is a fat sheep, so this rider will immediately lead The team caught up and prepared to take advantage of the fire to loot.
But they had only driven their horses for less than a hundred meters, and he saw that the convoy immediately stopped moving forward and the riders quickly formed a formation, changing direction as he and the others advanced. Such a quick reaction obviously shows that the escort of this convoy is not simple, so the rider kept his mind on it and only stayed 30 meters away, not daring to go too far.
And it wasn't until the two sides confronted each other that the rider realized how wise his decision was. Judging from the chilling aura emanating from the guards on the other side, the strength of this team is definitely much stronger than he imagined. It is obvious that this is a steel plate. Broken teeth, especially when he saw the appearance of Sean and Alfred, he felt more and more wise for his decision not to directly fight the opponent.
What the big guy was holding was a magical weapon!
It's just that people have already come to each other,
If he left in such a disheveled manner, he felt that his end would be very miserable after returning, so he could only bite the bullet and go forward to ask for the entrance fee. This point is indeed an unspoken rule in the area of the trading capital, but in general, the fee charged is measured according to the total value of the goods, and it is rare to ask for it without seeing anything, especially if it is only for one person. A Pangea gold coin.
This entry fee is already too cheap, it can be said that it is just a symbolic fee.
After all, here in the capital of trade, any expenses are based on Pangaea gold coins as the transaction unit, and the lowest price is a Pangaea gold coin. There are no bars like silver coins or copper coins here.
"According to the rules, after paying the money, everything I do in the trading capital will be protected by you." Sean asked, "Then I would like to ask, who are the forces that are against you?..., I want a detailed answer, please don't fool me, or you will regret it."
The capital of trade, as the heart of Miracle Continent, was also an extremely popular place in the game back then. Not only did it have the most shops on the entire continent, but it was also the place where all forces on the entire continent were most concentrated. From the beginning of the age of wizards, unless you have your own territory or have established a duchy, kingdom, and other player guilds, any other casual players, small guild players, and teams of relatives and friends will basically gather here in the trading capital. develop.
Because only here can you find more quests and prestige that can be earned, and even more advanced inheritance occupations, skill rewards, equipment and props. Most people have to be cautious. Maybe you just did an errand task to send a letter, and the result directly opened up the favor of a certain faction, but this faction may be in a state of hostility with a dozen other forces, so As soon as you come, your relationship with those power camps will naturally turn into hatred.
This situation doesn't really matter to the player, but if a certain piece of equipment or a certain skill you want to obtain is in one of the hostile forces, then this situation will become very painful. If you wholeheartedly want to bring back that hostile relationship, congratulations, you will probably become a blood feud with another force from now on, and even the alliance with this force will become enmity with you.
As for the blood feud relationship..., it is impossible to get it back, and it has completely belonged to the level where only one of the two parties can survive.
That's why Sean said such things at this moment.
He didn't want to pay the city fee, and then end up with a favorable opinion of the faction that these people belonged to. He didn't know who the faction behind these people was. If there is an inexplicable enmity with other forces, and it is possible to offend one of the top ten chambers of commerce, this is not the result Xiao En wants.
Countless players in the game used countless tragic facts to prove that it doesn't matter even if they are sworn enemies with all the forces in the entire trading capital, but the relationship with the top ten chambers of commerce must never be negative, otherwise, there is really no way Survive here in the capital of trade. Because the strength of the top ten chambers of commerce is very strong, and the background is deep enough, the entire trading capital is under their control. How the other forces below will fight, but the result still depends on the face and wisdom of the top ten chambers of commerce, so offending one family, It is tantamount to offending all the forces attached to the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, "Miracle" uses the real-time evolution of the all-a-four calculation rule.
In other words, your relationship with one of the top ten chambers of commerce has deteriorated, but maybe this chamber of commerce has a cooperation plan with another chamber of commerce, so your relationship with the other chamber of commerce will also deteriorate, and the second If one of the three chambers of commerce is an alliance with the third chamber of commerce... Congratulations, you are now offending three top ten chambers of commerce: and assuming that one day, one of the three chambers of commerce wants to marry the fourth chamber of commerce, then your number is basically It can be cut and retrained.
At this moment, the rider who was facing Sean was already sweating from his back. It is definitely not the first time he has come to the trading capital to ask such a direct question, and his background strength is definitely not He can afford to offend. But no matter what he thought, he still couldn't figure out which side the person in front of him came from. Logically speaking, if a person with such a background and strength wants to come to the trading capital, there will definitely be some rumors revealed in advance. , Then people like them who are responsible for intercepting the income of city fees to play wild food will naturally receive a list.
The people listed on this list are the ones they must never provoke
"I don't know, which adult's heir are you?" The rider had to ask respectfully, and the more he looked at Cecilia now, the more he felt that she was very familiar with him, and he was in charge of collecting it in the trading capital. The city entry fees and taxes must be some smart and discerning people.
It's not easy for him to feel familiar with people. You must know that he doesn't have a list in his hand now.
"You don't need to worry about it. Since we have come to the capital of trade, we will of course act according to the rules here. You are the first team to intercept us, so you do have the highest priority in terms of the rules." Sean said about trade The rules of the capital are more than understanding, it is almost as if they are familiar with instinct, and as Xiao En's words came out, the rider's face became paler, and the other riders around him were naturally even more unbearable, "I want to You pay a protection fee"...sorry, I usually prefer to call this a protection fee rather than a city fee. ..., but these are not important, what is important is who are the other forces that are against you, if there are no forces that I have to worry about, and if you are strong enough, then paying protection fees to you will save some unnecessary I'm more than happy to take the trouble. "
The rider swallowed hard. Due to Xiao En's imposing pressure, he finally dared not continue riding on the horse, but turned over and got off the horse. Following his movements, the other riders also turned over immediately. This scene didn't look like they were here to collect protection fees, but more like they were welcoming the arrival of Xiao En and others.
"We are White Wing's peripheral mercenaries, and if we talk about the hostile force, there is probably only Red Godek, but recently, for some reason, we have had a few skirmishes with Moens's people, and we have won and lost." The rider thought for a while, sorted out some information about them, and then told the truth. His thinking is indeed relatively quick, and his language skills are not weak. With a little organization, he can speak in an orderly manner. By the way, he also briefly introduced the current situation of the trading capital.
"Moens"..." Sean thought about it carefully, and arranged the forces and characters that may conflict with the top ten chambers of commerce. This is what all players in the game who want to mix in the trading capital must master. And remember the information, "The commander of the Red Cross Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom of Dabion? "
"Yes."
"Here are twenty-three gold coins, you keep them." Sean counted out twenty-three Pangea gold coins, put them into a small purse, and threw them to the rider.
In exchange, the rider also handed Sean a sign and a map.
The background color of the sign is black, and a white feather is drawn on it.
The White Wing Mercenary Regiment, a fourth-tier army with fairly good strength in the trading capital, is divided into regular regiments and peripheral reserves. Although the peripheral people call themselves mercenaries, they actually act like an army. A third-tier army, but the ten people in front of them can only be regarded as a small team, and they cannot display their real combat effectiveness at all. No more than the nineteen veterans in Xiao En's hands, they are a real army. Although the number is indeed smaller, it is undoubtedly a third-level army. Of course, if it is expanded and adapted in the future, the level of the army It will definitely go back to level zero, don't think about it.
However, in Sean's impression, the White Wing army seemed to be wiped out by Moens' Red Cross Cavalry in the end. Logically speaking, Sean should not have paid money to the people of White Wing, because this is undoubtedly an act of offending Moens, but Xiao En feels that it is better to fight against the people of the Kingdom of Darbion anyway sooner or later. If you turn against Moens now, you will have an excuse to declare war in the future.
After Baiyi's people left, Sean casually threw the token to a veteran, and said with a smile, "Everyone, welcome to the capital of trade."
In fact, from the moment of stepping into the Gobi wasteland, it is equivalent to entering the capital of trade.
This city formed by the top ten chambers of commerce is built on this Gobi, with thirteen oases as the core, and radiates out to the surrounding until all the buildings are connected together to form an area of nearly ten oases. A gigantic city of 10,000 square kilometers.
The city has no walls, nor does it need walls, since no one has ever dared to attack here.
It has no laws and does not need laws, but it has rules and orders that are more awesome than laws.
The headquarters of the top ten chambers of commerce are built next to the ten oases in the outermost circle. They are responsible for different business directions and fields, and there is no real conflict of interest between them. Even if there is an occasional conflict, it is only a secondary business circle. The contradiction will not affect the core business of the chamber of commerce, which is the main reason why the top ten chambers of commerce can coexist. Even because of the problem of derivative industries, the top ten chambers of commerce even often cooperate with each other and develop projects, which really confirms the sentence "no Eternal enemies, only eternal interests."
The purpose of Sean's trip was to buy slaves, so his destination was the oasis on the left side of the map.
Sidings Oasis.
An oasis named after the Seddings Chamber of Commerce, which specializes in selling various slaves. The strength of this chamber of commerce ranks third among the top ten chambers of commerce, second only to the magic tower chamber of commerce, which mainly sells various magic materials, scrolls, and magic accessories, and the legendary fire hammer, which mainly sells various weapons and equipment. However, the power of connections possessed by this chamber of commerce is the strongest among the top ten chambers of commerce.
