There are more residents in the town than expected, more than two hundred.
With a team like Wang Qi, it's okay to protect a few dozen people from running away, but if there are too many people, they can only let them think of their own solutions.
Based on the habits of the little devils, it is logical to conclude that "running must be at night", but if you want to light a torch when running at night, it will be a matter of luck whether you will be attacked by a group of little devils. Once you encounter a group of little devils in the wild, it's not like there are bunkers everywhere in the town, and it's easy for them to be completely wiped out.
What Wang Qi could do was stay in the town for half a day, but no one came to him for help, so he had to leave first.
Although he comes from the "civilized world", he can no longer be called kind after so many years. Most of the casualties in his own army are just a series of numbers, let alone outsiders.
Moving in the direction given by the townspeople, we found another city the next day.
The population distribution of the main world is the most common among the worlds that Wang Qi has experienced, and is divided into villages and towns.
On the contrary, the distribution of the penal colonies is even more special.
Affected by the poor living conditions in the penal colony, there is no concept of a village there, and farmers live on the outskirts of the city. If the city is crowded, it is possible to live outside the city, but there will not be a village of one or two hundred people. A village of this size will not exist. They are usually bandit villages, and farming is only a part-time job.
The distribution in villages and towns is not bad, but it also depends on the environment.
The demons are coming. Do those who stay in the countryside have a chance to escape to the city?
Of course, this time the little demons on the other side of the [Great Wall] rushed over earlier, giving them a chance to retreat. If there were no demons spreading in the area, the dispersed village and town structure would lose more than half of their food sources in an instant.
This place is not too far from the previous town. You can already see little devils flying around from time to time. On the road, you can see groups of professionals hunting little devils.
Without looking at the follow-up, Wang Qi knew that the situation would only get worse.
Little devils have basically no intelligence at all, their brain circuits are probably even less interesting than those of cats, and their routines are far less diverse than canines, let alone primates.
They will not send back a signal that "the enemy is very strong" just because a few individuals have died. No matter how strong the enemy is, they will fly over in groups to take a look. First, throw a wave of fireballs to see the effect.
There are many people in the city and it is very chaotic.
There were people begging along the street, and there were also wealthy people busy packing their bags and preparing carriages.
At this time, the advantage of Wang Qi bringing the Eight Great Vajras out was revealed. The beggars did not dare to come forward and disturb them, and the well-dressed ones would take the initiative to bow and give way, walking very smoothly.
...or maybe it's simply because he's afraid of being torn apart by Bai Xiaojiao.
All in all, we arrived at the city square very smoothly.
Given the current level of development, there is a high probability that the concept of demolition has not been popularized yet. Most cities with urban squares are native cities, and most of them evolved around a market.
This is the case in this city. The central area of its square is full of various stalls. Although some stalls are empty, there are also many stalls.
The buildings surrounding the square must belong to the most powerful people in the city.
Wang Qi first found an intermediary...that is, the Chamber of Commerce. ….
The business associations here are relatively rudimentary, similar to Yahang and Zaoji. Their main business is to bring together buyers and sellers to reach deals. They do not specialize in real estate services, including hiring servants, buying and selling livestock, and real estate. Anyway, as long as they can be bought and sold, they can help. , can be said to be the place where personal information is most concentrated in the entire city.
The concentration of buying and selling information is an inevitable product of urbanization. The municipal departments of the Phoenix Kingdom actually assume some of the functions of chambers of commerce. Similar organizations exist in other places of exile, but the metropolis is involved in gangs and gray matter.
There are two things you need to do when you come to the Chamber of Commerce.
"Buy some heavy mounts and get some money for the road."
"Heavy mount... what kind do you want?" Yazi bent down and asked. I don't know whether it was because of his good service attitude or because he was just waiting for someone to order his food. It was probably the latter.
Wang Qi pointed at Akeem: "You will know after you weigh him."
white
The little horn was too big, and it would always be suspected of causing trouble if it was brought into a place where others were doing business, so Natasha took the others to watch, while Wang Qi and Li Xiang brought Akeem in.
Yazi probably thought it was just a suit of armor and didn't take it seriously. He called an apprentice to take Akeem out to weigh it, and then asked about changing money.
Those who will go to the Chamber of Commerce to exchange money either have a large amount or there is a problem with the source of the money. This group is very familiar. Even if you are hundreds of miles away, you must have heard of such a big bear-shaped monster. You can be sure that there is definitely no one like this in the surrounding area. characters, so there’s probably no need to consider where they came from.
"The eight of us are going to the Fountain of Youth. If there is a diocese of the Church of Light along the way who also wants to visit, please help us find out what kind of money is needed for the round trip and exchange some of it."
The requirements are quite special, and it will definitely be more troublesome to go to other places besides the Chamber of Commerce to get it.
"It's easy to talk, but I wonder what you can exchange for money?"
Wang Qi took out three small gold bars and shined them on his teeth, making his eyes shine with golden light.
If you exchange gold bars for money, the middle fee is equivalent to getting it for nothing. This thing is hard goods everywhere.
The Yazi people are actually more afraid of artifacts with provenances. "Provenances" may be valuable in the eyes of some people, but they are nothing in the eyes of many people. If you melt them into ingots, the price will drop. As the situation in the east becomes worse and worse, there have been many more people exchanging items for money than usual recently, which has given the Chamber of Commerce a huge headache.
Three 300-gram gold bars are equivalent to about 1,800 yuan in Phoenix coins, which is quite a small amount. However, this is not the real value of gold. It is the purchasing power artificially created by cutting it with industrial scissors.
In short, judging from the panic and orderliness in this city, there is probably nothing major going on in the west. Otherwise, there is no way the atmosphere in the area with no retreat would be the same as it is now.
Wang Qi asked one more question: "Does your country of Thunder have any other currency in circulation? I really don't like paper money."
As expected, Yazi had many options, and immediately returned: "Well, instead of paper money, we can only use copper coins. The denominations of one-half, one-half, and one-quarter copper coins in our country account for the majority, but there are also ten-dollar coins issued in a few years. The ones in Yuan and Fifty Yuan denominations are just more troublesome to buy, and you may have to wait a day or two."
"Okay. We just arrived here and don't know the way. Please help us find a place to stay."
"It should be." Yazi responded. The apprentice just came back and reported Akeem's weighing number in his ear. His face changed, turned into ecstasy, and repeated again, "It should be, it should be."...
The price difference between a horse and a good horse is more than ten times or a hundred times, and the weight of a full armor of 170 kilograms requires at least a little bit of the burden of carrying it with you as a salute, which is no longer something that normal breeds can handle.
The person in front of me probably doesn't know how to use oxen, so he needs at least six Warcraft-like mounts, which is not something that three gold bars can pay for.
Yazi thought for a while and did not make a direct quotation. Instead, after seeking Wang Qi's opinion, he ordered his apprentice to go outside and take an entourage to check into the hotel first.
Then he ordered someone to serve some more juicy-looking fruits, and then they started discussing business.
It can indeed be considered a business, Yazi explained: "Based on the weight of your guard's armor, we have to gather six similar mounts in Fengbing City, and they can only be black demon horses, which are infected with the blood of demons a long time ago. This horse breed is much larger than normal horses. It has become extinct in the wild. Only some specialized horse dealers breed a few in small quantities. Because the cost of raising them is too high, they are usually only loaned out on important occasions."
[It has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old version of the book chasing tool and is used by all old bookworms.
