Volume 3: Dramatic Changes in Life Chapter 207: Morak Town (2)

George, who had no idea that he had been targeted by danger, finally arrived at the small town of Morak, located north of Alexandria, after more than two hours of riding after the brief and bloody battle.

Walking along the main road of the small town of Morak, you can see the fragrance of green grass from the forest, the dense woods on both sides of the main road, the singing birds on the tree branches, and the small animals jumping between the branches. It all made George feel like he had returned to the elven country where he had lived for a year-Alan Norn.

As George reached the end along the main road, the space in front of him suddenly became clear, and a huge lake jumped into his eyes. The most famous place in the town of Morak is the huge lake that has accompanied the town for hundreds of years - the Red Scale Lake.

It is said that the original name of this lake was not the Red Scale Lake. The reason why it was renamed the Red Scale Lake is said to be because ten years ago, or from a day even longer ago, the originally pure blue lake became a little darker. Red, and occasionally red flocs drift from the other side of the lake.

Although the locals had asked the city defenders or mercenary groups to investigate the matter countless times, the explanation they finally gave was just a natural phenomenon.

Although the indigenous people were not satisfied with this answer, at almost the same time, a large number of wealthy nobles also visited this place one after another, bought land and built houses in this originally inconspicuous town, and carried out large-scale construction projects. Use their usual methods to drive up housing prices in small towns.

The rich fight and the common people benefit.

After enjoying the wonderful feeling of owning a golden mountain, these old people who used to live here gradually forgot their dissatisfaction and doubts. After selling the land that originally belonged to them, they concentrated on enjoying the beauty brought by a wealthy life.

It must be said that the inflow of capital has brought prosperity to the town.

Alongside the huge lake, apart from the huge lighthouse and the ships docked at the pier, the most eye-catching thing is the rows of manor houses facing the lake.

Although the owner of the manor may not be here often, the beautiful maids and loyal housekeepers in the manor are doing their best to take care of the manor every day so that the manor is in the best condition to welcome their owner. 's return.

In addition to the manors of the nobles, there is an exquisite resource exchange not far from the residential area, which is responsible for purchasing or selling scarce resources such as crystals, gems, mercury, sulfur, etc.

These scarce resources may not be as versatile as gold coins, wood or stones to ordinary civilians, but for the alchemy of treasures, magic experiments, or some advanced races and races with special bloodlines, these scarce resources are their daily expenses.

The most important job of the aristocratic gentlemen who run this kind of family business is to have a cup of afternoon tea with the scheduled transaction partner in the resource exchange, and complete a satisfying transaction by the way.

George did not need to purchase special resources, but his curiosity still drove him to step forward to observe. However, when he noticed the conspicuous "Macbeth Chamber of Commerce" sign at the door, he very wisely chose to take a detour.

Even if he officially accepted the commission, George was unwilling to be discovered by the Macbeth family again and monitored intentionally or unintentionally.

The saying "meeting old friends in a foreign country" does not work well in a foreign world. According to George's past experience, most of the things he encounters in a foreign country are just troubles that make him unhappy.
