The Truth of Magic - Chapter 104
104 Crescent Town
crescent town was located on the border of southshore forest. in order to avoid the forest, noah’s caravan had deliberately taken the long way and finally arrived near southshore forest.
Many adventurers would choose to trade in the nearest town or even replenish their supplies after entering Nanyu forest and obtaining their harvest.
crescent town had relied on such a situation to develop, just like how casso and butan had relied on the sky broken mountain range to develop.
“are the ambushers who ran away alright?” The Rogue rainbow asked worriedly.
Compared to the Golden Dragon’s intimidating interlude at the beginning, the canyon ambushers who had been exposed became their real hidden danger as they approached the town.
By now, the surrounding towns and cities had probably received the news that their smuggling caravan had sneaked in. They could completely estimate the progress of their journey from the scale and time of the caravan.
if they were to jinx it further, there might be a huge number of troops lying in ambush in nanyu forest, waiting for them to walk into the trap.
zhao xu had done something similar in his previous life, so he wasn’t unfamiliar with these methods of trying to split up a town. he consoled her, ” “if we are the only merchant group to transport casso and butan, it would be better for them to surrender as soon as possible.”
“that’s right. we’re definitely not the only smuggling caravan in the entire tianbei business alliance. it all depends on which caravan can successfully kill their way in and obtain the eternal friendship of casso and butan.” The poet, the Antarctic frog, continued.
“Then what are we doing here?” Youyou was confused.
“I think I’m going to get something.” fengye said in a low voice. as noah and yise’s regular contact, he knew many secrets.
“What did you come from?” Youyou asked curiously.
“I don’t know about that.” fengye touched his head and laughed. he only had half of his secret.
” sigh, i’m so angry. brother fengye, you’re really too stupid. ” youyou pursed her lips.
The entire caravan had stopped at the edge of Nanyu forest since the beginning. They had found a Boulder to hide behind and had not gone any closer.
after a long time, noah walked over, but he was mainly looking at zhao xu and fengye.
There were also a few guards standing guard around him.
“Mr Noah, do you have any orders?” Fengye asked first.
“i do have a favor to ask of you,” noah paused.
” according to our original plan, after we reach crescent town, we need to go in and get a customs clearance document, as well as some information about the past few days, so that we can arrange the next step. ”
“clearance document?” as soon as noah’s words fell, the maple leaf players let out sounds of surprise. only then did they realize that the thing was actually a document.
Didn’t this mean that their journey could be shortened by more than half, and they didn’t even have to lie down during the day and travel at night?
however, noah shook his head. ” the customs clearance document is fake. it’s just a prop we had to use to get through when we were discovered by the scouts. ”
everyone’s hearts sank. they didn’t expect this to be the result.
They were now close to the territory of caso and butan city.
the tianbei business alliance did not set up too many defenses on the plains and canyons. on one hand, they were not powerful enough, and on the other hand, they were confident that they could seal off the two cities like dumplings to ensure that most of the supplies could not enter.
Without the clearance document, even if they were to hide during the day and travel at night, it was still very risky to try to break into the encirclement.
However, Zhao Xu knew very well that the customs clearance document was their final trump card. If they were discovered, their team would definitely be suppressed by the regular army and mercenaries of the Tianbei Business Alliance.
this was not like the scattered soldiers from the ironstone belt. to put it bluntly, there were some civilians in the ironstone belt’s ambush team.
at the same time, the tianbei business alliance had also begun to recruit players to join the ranks of the pursuit and interception, and their manpower was slowly becoming more abundant.
“then mr noah, you want us to go into crescent town for you to get the documents and information?” no matter how stupid fengye was, he also reacted at this time.
” that’s right. i originally planned to let our rogues go in, but now the merchant union has offered too high a price, and we were blocked by tie shi’s ambush team, so it’s very likely that the other party has already gotten the information about me and the few people around me. ”
“So, I want to ask you guys to go to Crescent Town for us to retrieve our things. Compared to us, you earth adventurers are less likely to attract attention.” Noah lowered his head and bowed.
“But Mr Noah, haven’t we already leaked the information?” youyou asked.
no, Youyou. Their information is not the same as our information. After all, rainbow was from the Rogue Association, so he more or less knew the ways of this.
people already knew about noah’s background. even if the transport was successful this time, he would have to lie low for a while until the split between caso and butan subsided.
as for the few players, it was impossible for the stragglers to immediately figure out their background.
not to mention that tie shi, who had once fought with them, was already dead.
“Then I’ll accept this mission.” fengye thought for a while and agreed.
It was reasonable for players to enter a strange town. They might even commit suicide and resurrect near the church in the nearest town.
the many towns and cities that knew this would not stop the players too much.
Noah’s gaze fell on Zhao Xu and he asked for his answer.
zhao xu thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Crescent Town wouldn’t have another Golden Dragon, would it?
so, after everyone discussed it, they decided that fengye, zhao xu, and rainbow would enter the town and find someone to receive them. after comparing the code, they would get back the designated item.
————————————————————–
the next morning, when the sun once again bathed the entire southshore forest, zhao xu and the other two were dressed up as adventurers who had just returned from spending the night in the wilderness.
Crescent Town was very prosperous during the day. At the entrance of the town, there were already many business travelers lining up to enter. They all paid their taxes and documents.
As for Zhao Xu and the other two adventurers, they took another entrance. As long as they didn’t bring too many things with them, they didn’t have to pay anything.
When Crescent Town was first built, the entry tax was abolished, which was why many adventurers chose it to prosper.
even though zhao xu’s group of three was a little different from those who chose to go out on an adventure, there were people like them who came from other towns every day, so they didn’t attract too much attention from the guards.
the guard roughly sized up the three of them. after confirming that they were adventurers from earth, he let them through.
that scared me to death. Fortunately, they didn’t suspect anything. fengye, who wasn’t used to disguises, immediately exclaimed that he was lucky.
zhao xu was walking along the main road in the middle of the town when he noticed a tall building not too far away.
The building was painted with many mysterious symbols, and there was an empty area around it, as if there was a plague that made people not dare to approach.
I’m going to the Sorcerer Association to buy some materials. Wait for me. Zhao Xu said to Fengye.
he did not expect that a small town like crescent town would have a wizard association.
perhaps the time for him to return had arrived earlier.
