Deland.
Delan is a relatively famous city in the southern part of the main continent. It is not very far from Jialan City, with a straight-line distance of only more than a hundred miles. It's just that on this land of more than a hundred miles, there are two small mountain ranges, a forest, and countless large and small bandit groups hidden in the mountains and forests.
Therefore, although Delan and Jialan City are not far apart, there are not many exchanges. There are only a few business groups that trade and exchange goods every month. These business groups all have a large number of guards, and some business groups even have wandering low-level free wizards and magic knights. Only in this way can they get rid of the harassment of numerous thieves and sell goods that each other lacks between the two cities to make huge profits.
In other words, what the businessmen who organize these business groups do is like licking blood on the tip of a knife, which is very risky. Once the force they possess cannot instill enough fear and fear in the thieves along the way, the consequences will be disastrous. As long as the first group of thieves jumps out, attack them and cause certain damage. The rest of the thieves' group will be like sharks that smell blood in the sea, swarming in and biting them until no scraps are left.
This kind of thing has happened many times.
But no matter how many times this happened, the trade between Delan and Jialan City was never completely cut off. The people who did this were the Delan merchants who were never afraid of sacrifice and were afraid of not making any money.
This is a quality shared by all Deland merchants.
This quality can be said to be bad because of greed, or it can be said to be excellent because of tenacity.
No matter what, it is precisely with this quality that Delan can develop step by step to where he is today.
Delan's real name is Delan Town, which means that it was just an inconspicuous small town at first. The town is very poor and barren. Apart from food, it hardly produces any goods that can be sold for money. However, through the pioneering efforts of generations of Delan merchants, Delan Town eventually became one of the famous commercial centers in the southern part of the main continent.
Nowadays, Delan is far more prosperous than Jialan City and more than half of the cities in the southern part of the main continent. It is no longer worthy of its name to continue to be called a "town". Many people add the word "big" in front of her name. —Grandland Township.
Of course, more people directly call her - Delan.
…
Deland.
In the center of the city, on the busiest street. A stone building with a height of four floors stands. The exterior is painted in bright red and yellow colors, and is also engraved with exquisite reliefs. The decoration is extremely gorgeous.
This is a famous gold-selling cave in Delan. It is the favorite place for unmarried male nobles, rich people, and romantic young people. Here they can get paradise-like enjoyment.
No, what they got was an enjoyment that was better than heaven.
It was early in the morning when an old wizard wearing a clean white robe walked out of the Golden Cave, his steps staggering.
His name is Charman, and he is over sixty years old. For ordinary wizards, this age is not too old - although wizards cannot significantly extend their lifespan, through some spells, they can ensure that they live healthier than ordinary people, and they will gradually show symptoms after they are seventy years old. Visible aging.
Xia Man is different, just in his sixties, he has a frown on his face, and he can't even compare with some well-maintained nobles. Because he is only a first-level low-level wizard who is not proficient in many spells. Coupled with his greed for enjoyment and excessive indulgence, he has become what he is now.
But Xia Man has no regrets at all. He feels that this is his way of life.
Because the wizard's talent was insufficient, he gave up the idea of continuing to advance many years ago and focused more on pursuing fun. In his opinion, compared with the boring pursuit of truth in the wizarding world, it is more wonderful to pursue the fun in the world.
After all, in the wizarding world, no matter how many spells you study and how many mysteries you understand, you can never experience the feeling of being carefully served by a beautiful teenage girl in bed.
That kind of softness, that kind of softness, that kind of moistness.
Tsk tsk!
Xia Man squinted her eyes and recalled the experience in the night, with a very satisfied expression on her face.
But after taking two steps, the muscles on his face were slightly distorted, and the wrinkles on his forehead formed the word "Chuan".
"Ahem..."
Xia Man coughed twice and felt a sharp pain in her waist.
In fact, not only was my waist hurting, every bone in my body seemed to be creaking and almost falling apart.
It seems that yesterday was indeed a bit excessive and should be tempered.
However, that girl named Caroline is really seductive.
With various thoughts running through his mind, Xia Man approached a carriage parked on the street.
Seeing that there was no movement in the carriage, he frowned, raised his hand and banged on the outer wall of the carriage several times.
"Wow!"
Immediately there was a noise in the carriage, and a handsome boy of fifteen or sixteen years old stuck his head out and glanced at Xia Man. He almost rolled down and landed with a "bang".
The boy put on a flattering smile and greeted quickly: "Master Xiaman, you are out, are you feeling okay?"
"Yeah." Xia Man nodded lightly. His sore body made him too lazy to say anything, so he just said, "Go back."
"Yes, you get on the carriage first." The boy said. As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and straightened his shoulders.
Xia Man was not polite. He was completely used to it. He put his foot on the boy's shoulder and gave it a cushion. The next step was to step on the carriage. He bent his head into the carriage and lay down on the soft cushions in the carriage.
He could feel the warmth of the mat. It must have been at night when the boy lay on it and secretly slept. He was a little unhappy about this, but there was no need to lose his temper over such a trivial matter. After all, this young man named Shar still liked him very much, and he didn't want to appear too harsh.
At this time, the young man Shar poked his head in, took out a hot towel soaked in water from somewhere, and handed it to Charman. Xia Man wiped her face and hands, and then covered her face. She felt warm and the pain all over her body was relieved a lot.
Young Shar said: "Master Sharman, please take a nap in the carriage to regain your energy. I will drive back to your mansion. I will be slower and more steady on the way to prevent disturbing you. Wait until we arrive. I'll wake you up after we get back to the mansion. What do you think?"
"Well, okay." Xia Man slowly raised his hand in agreement, adjusted his position on the blanket of the carriage, and fell asleep comfortably without speaking any more.
The young man cautiously exited the carriage, started the carriage, and drove the horse into the distance, leaving this bustling street.
Not far away, on the second floor of a hotel on the street, two pairs of eyes were watching the carriage leave.
