I Have A City In An Alternate World - Chapter 951
951 Village (1)
There was an Inn in River View Village. It was a two-story wooden building. After Tang Zhen and the others entered the village, they immediately checked in.
In fact, the area of this village far exceeded Tang Zhen’s expectations. There were not only a few wooden houses, but more than two hundred households.
The villagers here were made up of different races, and there was no lack of orcs among them, who were strong and burly.
!!
Although the orcs had all sorts of appearances, no one would discriminate against them. After all, to the natives here, this world did not belong to any race.
In this village close to the mountain range, they were engaged in planting, gathering, hunting, logging, and other jobs, and their lives were barely passable.
However, the world today was not very peaceful. All kinds of forces were competing in this land. The war and fighting had never stopped, and the people were the most direct victims.
This was also the reason why they were wary of outsiders. After all, before this, the village had been attacked by bandits more than once and had suffered a lot of losses.
The arrival of Tang Zhen’s group immediately attracted the attention of many villagers. Perhaps, they had discovered that Tang Zhen’s group was definitely not ordinary travelers. Therefore, the villagers treated them with a respectful attitude and kept their distance.
In reality, if there was evidence to prove that Tang Zhen and the rest harbored evil intentions, it was likely that these seemingly simple and honest villagers would unhesitatingly pick up all sorts of weapons and launch an attack at Tang Zhen and the rest!
The villagers would never show any mercy to the enemies who tried to destroy their homes and Rob them of their belongings.
More than one Bandit had been hung to death on the defensive stone wall outside the village. Their bodies were also thrown into the forest after being dried.
By relying on this method, many people who tried to steal or Rob were scared off, so the village maintained a long period of peace.
If Tang Zhen and his group dared to cause trouble, the villagers would do the same!
However, the experienced men in the village were very clear that the villagers might not be a match for Tang Zhen and the others at all. This was because they had accidentally seen the equipment under the cloak of a Lord cultivator.
That kind of exquisitely made black armor must have been very expensive, and how could the person who could wear this kind of armor be an ordinary person?
Even the guards with the highest strength in the village had faces full of fear when they saw Tang Zhen and the others. When these ordinary villagers fought, it was estimated that they would be split into two by the other party!
Fortunately, after Tang Zhen and the others entered hewang village, they kept a low profile. This caused the villagers to slightly relax their vigilance. However, they did not let their guard down and continued to observe in secret.
Only those children would occasionally appear around Tang Zhen’s group. Their mouths would let out “chattering” sounds as they were filled with curiosity towards these outsiders.
At this moment, Tang Zhen and the rest were seated in the main hall of the hotel. They ordered some local specialty food and a few large barrels of light alcohol.
They surrounded a long wooden table with their swords placed to the side so that they could quickly grab them when a battle broke out.
Some of the customers in the inn were rather envious of the Holy Dragon city’s overlords ‘weapons. It was said that after the village’s blacksmith saw these weapons, he patted his chest and guaranteed that these weapons were definitely worth thousands of gold!
As for the exquisite armors they were wearing, they were even more expensive. Even the blacksmith couldn’t guess the specific price!
It was also because of this sentence that Tang Zhen and the others were no longer regarded as bandits by the villagers. Instead, they were regarded as rich and Noble with a great background. Their originally vigilant eyes had also turned into envy and jealousy.
Tang Zhen’s performance had also confirmed the villagers ‘guess!
As a large piece of gold was thrown out, the innkeeper, whose face was full of joy, immediately got busy, and plates of food were brought to the table, filling it to the brim.
Although the cooking method of the food was very crude, it won in the quantity. Even the big-bellied man could roll his eyes as he ate.
Tang Zhen raised the wine glass in his hand and gently took a sip before placing the glass to the side.
He was really not used to drinking this kind of coarse wine. Even with honey, it still had a faint sour taste.
The Holy Dragon city’s overlords at the side did not have so many scruples, and all drank very happily.
For the past two days, Tang Zhen had not arranged any missions. When the Lords were bored, they could only drink to relieve their boredom. However, they would never get drunk.
Tang Zhen was very assured of his subordinates. After all, each and every one of them was an iron-blooded military officer who had led an Army into battle. How could they not know what was going on in their hearts?
Their current behavior was probably to numb the villagers so that they would no longer pay attention to them.
Tang Zhen glanced at the table beside him before looking at a man wearing leather armor.
This fellow had been sizing them up. Like the other villagers, his eyes were filled with curiosity and vigilance, but there was also a trace of greed and viciousness that was hard to detect.
“Come over, friend, I’ll treat you to a drink!”
Tang Zhen patted the wine barrel on the table as he shouted at the man in leather armor.
The man was obviously short on money, otherwise he wouldn’t be sitting at the table and watching others drink and eat.
After hearing Tang Zhen’s invitation, he hesitated for a moment before walking over.
A faint sour smell of sweat was emitted from his body, causing Tang Zhen to frown slightly. However, it seemed that the local people did not like to bathe. This was because there were piranhas in the river. They were nearly one meter in size and often attacked the villagers who were bathing and fishing.
thank you, generous outsider. You must know that I haven’t had a cup of mellow wine in a long time!
The man in leather armor received the wooden wine cup that Tang Zhen handed over. He raised his head and drank it cleanly. After licking the corner of his mouth, he spoke to Tang Zhen.
“You’re welcome. If you like it, you can have this bucket!”
Tang Zhen pushed the wine barrel in front of him over and said with a smile.
you’re really a generous person. Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I guess you’re not used to drinking this kind of inferior wine? ”
The man in leather armor poured himself another cup and asked Tang Zhen.
When the tavern owner heard that, he immediately roared, ” you bastard, Donnie. How dare you say that my wine is of poor quality? do you believe that you won’t be able to drink a single drop from today on? ”
The man in leather armor, Danny, immediately shrunk his neck and looked at the hotel owner with a fawning expression.
Lagren snorted and turned around, ignoring him.
Tang Zhen smiled when he saw this and said to Donnie,”In my hometown, there are many kinds of wine, and they all taste different. But I prefer the taste of the wine from my hometown!”
“I heard that you came from afar. Where are you from, and what are you doing here?”
Donnie gulped down his wine, but he kept trying to find out the background of Tang Zhen and the others. No one knew what he was trying to do.
my hometown is very far away. We came here by boat. As for the purpose of coming here, of course it’s to make money!
Hearing Tang Zhen’s words, Tang Zhen’s eyes slightly brightened as he continued to ask,”Then, do you have any goods to sell? I can help you contact the seller, as long as you give me a 5% commission!”
When Tang Zhen said this, the greed in Tang Zhen’s eyes was almost unconcealable.
It was obvious that this guy wasn’t honest and was probably thinking of something.
I’m not familiar with this place, so I won’t sell the goods for the time being. I have to at least find out more about it!
After hearing Tang Zhen’s answer, a trace of disappointment and unwillingness flashed in Tang Zhen’s eyes. He rolled his eyes and continued, just ask me whatever you want to know. There’s almost nothing I don’t know about in Snow City!
“So this place is under the jurisdiction of the snow City. What a surprise!”
Tang Zhen smiled when he heard this. A trace of glint flashed across his eyes.
