Chapter 24: Boarding [Ilay]
The "White Rock City" under the jurisdiction of Count David can be divided into three parts:
The outermost layer is the outskirts of Baiyan City, surrounded by Baiyan City. Although it is called a village, its actual area is much larger than that of the inside of the city.
This is the main residence of poor people, farmers and hunters, and the arable land that supplies food to the whole city is also in this area.
Secondly, it is the true "Baiyan City"; urban residents live under the protection of the city walls, and the areas where slaves, merchants and handicraftsmen are active are closer to the city walls, while the residences of slave owners and nobles are closer to the city center.
Finally, it is the "White Rock Fort" located in the center of the city; this is the residence of the city lord Earl David, a symbol of the Clinder family.
The castle is made of stones and can accommodate 200 soldiers to defend on the castle; if it is a conventional offensive force, Baiyan Fortress can at least defend against attacks from thousands of people.
Almost all the city-states of the Kingdom of Fares are like this; the "castle" inside is a symbol of the authority of the ruler.
In many wars in the history of the kingdom, as long as the "castle" is still there, the city is still controlled by the original nobles.
"Looking at the city wall by the sunset..." Ai Lei, who was about to enter Baiyan Village, wanted to express some emotion;
"Late to the full moon?" Luo Xi quickly replied, but quickly denied it: "Ah, no, repeat..."
"Are you writing a poem..." Aire remembered that when she first met Luo Xi, she seemed to be singing a poem... she wrote it herself?
"Hehe, I have a little bit of personal hobby." Luo Xi smiled embarrassedly, "I feel that what you said is easy, so I accidentally said it."
"Speaking of this, are you going to enter the city now?" Ailey felt that the things on his shoulder were really heavy. "I have to sell these wild boar meat, otherwise it will break."
"It seems that I can only say goodbye here." Luo Xi waved his hand to Ailee, "Take care... maybe we will meet again in the future?"
"Take care!" Ai Lei put down his package and bowed to Luo Xi.
I have received so much favor from others, and I must repay them after I become stronger! Aly thought so.
As the daughter of the Duke of the East Realm, it should not be difficult for Luo Xi to find it.
Alay watched Roshi disappear into the village - now, he knew he should sell the wild boar.
As for entering the city... the city gate will be closed at night, so let's talk about it tomorrow. I'd better find someone to stay in this village for a night tonight.
If it was fresh wild boar meat, so much was enough to sell a silver lion; unfortunately, it had been almost a day, and the quality was no longer so attractive now.
As long as the price is low enough, there is no problem. The most important thing is to take action quickly...
As Ailei thought of this, he walked a few steps into the village with his package, found a place with dense crowds to start selling. At this moment, the farmers had just returned from the fields and there were quite a lot of people.
"Look at it, you can see, the green-toothed wild boar meat!" Aire put down the package, spread out the wild boar skin, revealing the slightly dark red inside, cut into pieces:
"There are a lot of lean meat, no teeth stuffing! Fry and stew everything! "
"Serious young wild boar! The meat is very tender! Hey, it's almost time to catch up with the beef!"
"The brother who passed by! Look at how this meat is? If you don't buy some, go back and start eating meat?"
"Auntie! Hey, come and have a look and make the meals better for the children!"
At first, Aly was full of confidence, but his passion would be consumed with time.
So much meat is really hard to sell - most people who live in the village live a very tight life, who has the spare money to buy so much meat?
But if you don’t sell it again, it will probably be broken in one night... Aly sighed, pulled out a piece of monster skin and sat on it.
"Young man, how can this meat be sold?" An old lady who looked in her forties stopped in front of Ailey's stall.
"I will take it all away if the price is right."
Ai Lei instantly became energetic and jumped up.
"Hehe, let me tell you, this is not ordinary wild boar meat, it is a serious 'copper' level monster from a blue-toothed wild boar!"
Well, it is copper-grade after adulthood, and there is no problem at all, so it is not considered a fool.
"Look, I only cut off the best meat! Look, this, this, this, this is lean meat! Pure! Tasteless!"
Well, because there are more Aray, I can't handle it.
"Look at the meat quality, it is definitely different from ordinary wild boar meat! Otherwise, I will roast a piece for you on the spot?"
The Fiery Technique can also come in handy now - it was Roxi's prompt to Ayre.
"Tell me how much it costs." The aunt seemed to be moved.
"So much of the best meat, you usually have to sell two silver lions! Hey, aunt, I think it's not easy for you. It's almost dark, so I'll give you a big special price for bleeding - one silver lion is enough!"
"It's so expensive." The aunt left this sentence and was about to turn around and leave.
"Hey hey hey hey don't leave!" Aile hurriedly grabbed her, "This... the price is easy to negotiate!"
The aunt seemed to have no intention of leaving, just scaring Ai Lei; she squatted down quickly and picked up a piece of meat, pointed at Ai Lei and opened the conversation:
"Look at this wild boar, what's the freshness?"
"I can't see blood!"
"What's the meat of the wild boar you just killed in your family?"
"Didn't I slaughter yesterday? There's still dust on it!"
"You're too embarrassed to sell a silver lion?"
"Save it for another night, you won't even eat it!"
"Three copper wolf, don't sell it."
Should I say I am worthy of being an aunt? Ai Lei almost came up in one breath.
Everything people say is true, but these three copper wolves are too cheap, right?
The sword that Ailei reimbursed is worth three bronze wolves!
"Auntie, even the pork is not sold to you as cheaply; how many meals are you enough to eat?"
Alay planned to struggle for a while.
"Hunting monsters is hard to fight! It's a lot of trouble to peel and other things! Seven copper wolf, this is the lowest price!"
"Five." The old lady was too lazy to talk.
What should I do... Give up? Or continue...
"I won't sell it anymore." The aunt used her old trick again.
Selling something that is easy to break will cause trouble!
"Trade!" Ai Lei breathed heavily.
"Will this save you trouble long ago?" The old lady curled her lips, "Will you send it to the door?"
"I'm an adventurer from another place... It's dark. Can I have a place to live?" Alay planned to ask for a little more.
"There is a straw mat in front of the door." The aunt didn't care much about this.
"Okay!" Ai Lei packed the things on the ground with pleasure, "You will be done with me!"
Even if it’s just a straw mat, it’s better than lying on the gravel floor!
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Ailey has made so much money; his prey before could only sell one or two copper wolfs at most!
Ailey thought that there were wild boar skins in the package, several monster skins, and a set of monster skin armor that was not sold... I wonder how much those are worth?
It seems that changing outfits is no problem at all!
