Conquest

Chapter 3: There are no good people in Wildfire Town (Part 1)

Views:

If you want to find one of the most chaotic places in the whole continent, then it must be Wildfire Town.

Wildfire's real name is not Wildfire. In fact, it has several unofficial names—mainly due to confusion over where wildfires really belong.

The town is located in the southern part of the Wildfire Plain, but it is a land that does not care. If it comes to the issue of belonging, it is really a "banner of the changing king of the city".

The Odin Empire in the north, the Byzantine Empire in the south, and even some large groups of thieves have all become masters here.

The geographical location of Wildfire Town is not very good, but it is the most delicate point in the gap. There are no other properties on the wildfire plains, but mostly forest valleys and basins, where the land is barren and the climate is the most bizarre.

Every year, cold air from the north causes wildfires to have three months of cold winters. And after winter, the sea breeze from the south will warm up north, but it will blow people lazily and don't want to move. The hot and cold weather from north to south is staggered here, but there is sufficient rainfall, and in summer, the land is muddy.

As a result, on the wildfire plains, winters are cold and dry, and summers are hot and humid.

The Odin people in the north are accustomed to the cold climate of ice and snow, and are not used to the humidity and heat of summer here. The Byzantine Empire in the south could not stand the cold and dry winter.

In addition, there is really nothing related to the people's livelihood and the national economy here, and it can be regarded as a tasteless area.

There are no other properties on the Wildfire Plain. Most of them are ferocious beasts and tribes of large and small tribes. These tribes are both good and evil. With a cloth on his face, he ran to rob.

And the surrounding dwarven tribes, the filthy timid but ant-like goblin hordes, the swampy forests...

This kind of place, unless the two empires are ready to go to war, will use this as a buffer zone for war, otherwise, in normal times, no one will bother to take a look.

The two empires seem to have formed a tacit understanding. If the Byzantines occupy this place, the Odins will definitely fight over. If the Odins occupy this place, the Byzantiums will also send troops to expel them. However, neither side has experienced long-term garrisoning of troops in such a ghost place, so as long as the other party does not occupy this area, then they will just let it go, and simply turn this place into a territory that they don't care about.

As for the only town here, Wildfire Town, it has become a place where all kinds of complex people on the mainland flock. It is a paradise for criminals, wanted criminals, thieves, thieves, profiteers, adventure teams and many more complex groups.

Anarchy paradise, this evaluation is the most appropriate for Wildfire Town.

A few days ago, several large business groups from Byzantium in the south suffered heavy losses from robbery by bandits, so they raised funds and hired a tribe of mercenaries to drive away the bandits. They used this place as an important distribution center for materials and announced that they would be The town is "protected".

There are everything in Wildfire Town, car travel hotels, taverns, casinos, kilns, and some secret strongholds of thieves gangs. Many officially banned goods can be bought in the illegal black market, as well as the exchanges of mercenary tribes...

This is an adventurer's paradise.

Honest people are better not to live in such a place.

Even a tailor in the tailor shop in the town might be a fugitive who has been wanted by both empires for many years at the same time.

When Xia Yaleiming walked into the town, he didn't attract anyone's attention. The tattered wolfskin robe on his body made him look more like a beggar, and the fire fork on his waist was the most One would think he was a "mentally troubled" beggar.

Just as Xia Lei Ming was traversing the streets of Wildfire Town like a hungry wolf, a greedy gaze shot at him at the door of a shop beside the road.

Use the most accurate word to describe the appearance of Dodo, then this word must be: wretched!

If you must add an adverb, it should be "extremely very" wretched! !

He is very thin, extremely thin, skinny, but has two horizontal flesh on his cheeks, plus a pair of upside-down eyebrows, triangular eyes, and a vicious and obscene gleam, even when he smiles, it seems like that A strange uncle who seduces little Luo Li.

Let's put it this way, with his appearance, walking on the street at night, even if he doesn't do anything, will definitely attract suspicious eyes from the patrolling soldiers.

He once had a very "honorable" deed. When he was studying in the capital, one evening, he ran into a lady on a small road. As a result, the two just glanced at each other face to face, and the lady only saw Dodoro's Appearance, she was so frightened that Huarong paled, and then she shouted "indecent".

As a result, the patrolling guards tied him back indiscriminately. Dodoro tried to defend himself, but he only said one sentence: "You look like a little girl who would molest you."

Fortunately, Dodoro no longer has to suffer such humiliating treatment now.

The current Duoduo has the most noble profession on the continent, the most noble, no one!

His current official identity is: His Excellency the Honorable Mage Dodoro.

Of course, this title is what he prides himself on. In fact, Dodo Luo is only a low-level first-level magician now, and, unfortunately, he is not too young, and in the magic assessment, he was also determined to have no magical potential for further promotion.

Although the profession of a magician is noble, it refers to those real high-level magicians who can call the wind and call the rain, low-level magicians like him, and a guy with no magic potential, the only way out is to find a mercenary tribe to go to Dangdang. A thug, earn some living expenses, if you are lucky enough to meet a rural nobleman who has not seen much of the world, maybe he will also be recruited as a guest.

Therefore, in the capital or other big cities, Dodo Luo has no chance to develop, and he can only go to the backcountry like Wildfire Town to try his luck.

Also, he came to Wildfire, definitely by accident - he was broke.

This is a very absurd thing: a magician who is famous for his nobility and wealth, how can he go bankrupt

However, this thing really happened to Dodo Luo - he found a way to increase his magical power in an ancient book that he accidentally got. This discovery stimulated Dodo Luo's ambition, he Borrowed from a chamber of commerce to buy a lot of magic materials for this magic research. And then... unfortunately, his magic research failed, and most of the materials were consumed.

What's more unfortunate is that he later found out that the ancient book he got was a fake antique forged by a cultural relic dealer!

As a magician, he was actually deceived by those despicable profiteers of counterfeiting antiques! This is simply a great disgrace to Dodoro.

But even more unfortunate is that the chamber of commerce he owes money is a regular organization that enjoys the protection of imperial laws. In order to recover the arrears, he even went to the Magician Guild of the Church in the capital to sue Dodo.

Sue a magician for not repaying the money, but also made the matter go to the magician's guild? !

This is simply a big scandal that has not happened in thousands of years! Dodoro's reputation in the capital was discredited, and he became a huge joke in the magic world. Even in the capital, his popularity as a little low-level magician once surpassed those of the long-established great magicians.

In the end, Dodoro could only go away incognito. I hope to try my luck on this wildfire that doesn't care about the boundaries.

And now, Dodoro saw Char Lei Ming.

To be precise, he took a fancy to something hanging around Xia Leiming's neck!

From the eyes of a magician, the first moment Dodoro saw the thing on Xia Leiming's neck, he couldn't help but feel greed.

It was a gray-looking stone, without any luster.

But... The Almighty Lord is on top, and Todoro dares to swear that it is a first-class magic crystal! ! !

Xia Leiming was quickly blocked.

Although he was starving and dizzy, after seeing the appearance of the guy who was blocking his way, he immediately gave a shock!

"Hello, young man, do you want to make a deal?"

Dotolo tried his best to smile kindly, but obviously, his efforts were in vain. Because Xia Yaleiming's first reaction when he saw him was to be vigilant. At the same time, he held the fire fork at his waist with one hand, and quickly covered his pocket with the other hand.
