Chapter 81 You never know what's behind the next corner

Su Wen didn't know much about the goblin race, he only knew that they had appeared since the period of the species explosion two thousand years ago, and his impression of this creature was still on the eyes of cunning and short thiefs, and it was particularly unreliable. However, seeing it is true. Although Su Wen was very annoyed by the frequent advertising brainwashing in Atalan Province, he understood that to do this level, he had to have a large amount of gold coins, and the ability to earn a large amount of gold coins - this kind of thing is not something that a brainless and profit-oriented businessman could do. Such a low-key businessman might be able to make a small profit by speculation, but it was almost impossible to make the business bigger.

Lottery, insurance, usury... These three words representing huge profits and high-risk are not unfamiliar to Su Wen, because this thing is also available in his own world, but this is really the first time Su Wen has heard it on the glorious continent. There may be similar businesses in other places, but most of them operate underground and cannot become too big. Moreover, it is a gray industry, so naturally it will not be openly advertised. Therefore, Su Wen is really worried about this group of bold goblins, but at least they are still alive so well so far, which means they don’t know how much tax they have paid, so that the Doron Empire actually acquiesced to the existence of this industry.

Su Wen was not very interested in this. He would definitely not touch the above three, but the name of the Woking Chamber of Commerce successfully aroused his interest. Because he suddenly remembered that the long-barrel muskets sold to him when he first entered the northern wasteland, the production site was the Goblin Chamber of Commerce located in the Iron Lu Province.

It seems that this chamber of commerce is probably very famous?

Su Wen made up his mind and placed a large portion of his attention on this so-called Workkin Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps he could get a lot of useful information because of this.

However, before entering the Iron Lu Province, Su Wen discovered a big problem.

In the Doron Empire, there was no strict boundary between major provinces. Usually, one village or town passes, and then one province enters another. However, this rule does not seem to be very applicable in the Iron Lu Province on the northern border. In the border town of Erimo in Atalan Province, Suwen saw barbed wire and checkpoints similar to the border line. The only intersection leading to the Iron Lu Province in the northeast was garrisoned by a large number of soldiers on both sides. Among them, most of the people near Suwen were human soldiers, while the other side was farther away, almost all of them were goblins wearing leather armor and holding scimitars and other alien soldiers.

It's like two countries!

As one of the many entrances to the Iron Lu Province, Erimo is naturally a major commercial town. It is full of standard northern rough style. The bustling streets are full of foreign business travelers, and a large number of carriages are lined up along the road and enter and exit the borders of the Iron Lu Province. But if Su Wen didn't know that the Great Plain in front of him was his destination Metro Lu Province, he might think that this is the border town of the Doron Empire, and on the other side of the road is a country composed of alien races.

It's incredible!

Before this, Su Wen had never expected that what he would see was this kind of scene. He thought that the Iron Lu Province was a hodgepodge city with a large number of dwarves and goblins living together. Perhaps there would be many villages on this land composed of these two kinds of alien races, but after all, it was mainly humans. However, judging from the current scene, there were certainly not fewer humans in the Iron Lu Province. You can tell by looking at the number of merchants and tourists on the road. But the dominance of this province seemed to be in the hands of alien races such as goblins?

Or, the Doron Empire can actually tolerate foreigners to be the masters of their own territory?

Su Wen suddenly had the urge to not enter the water. After all, he was just here to get information and try to make some money. He had no strength or hard backstage as a support. He really had to show his strength until he entered St. Peter's Academy. But since he had arrived at the gate of the Iron Lu Province, and seeing the endless business and travel here, the plains ahead should not be a dire place, at least you don't have to worry too much about not being able to come out after entering...

But even so, Su Wen, who had originally planned to drive straight in, finally gave up his plan to enter the Iron Lu Province immediately, and decided to stop in the particularly lively town of Erimo for the time being.

The gap between the Iron Lu Province and the imagination was too big. He planned to wait until he figured out all the relevant historical origins and information before considering what should be done next.

Since the business groups were rushing for the last trip before the winter, the town of Erimo this season was almost the highest peak of the crowd. After riding in a carriage, he left the main road leading to the Ironlu Province. After driving for two kilometers, Su Wen found that the mercenary guild here was even larger than that in Trides City. Mercenaries and foreign customers almost squeezed the open-air guild hall out of the air. Perhaps because of the goblins' practice, the mercenaries and mercenary groups here actually learned to recruit business for themselves in the form of advertising signs. Various slogans such as "Ironlu Castle 7-day and Six Night Tour", "Panyin Mountain Ancient Exposure to the Ancient Monument", "Members of the Magician Association are in charge, and they are worth the money" made Su Wen feel that he had come to the wrong place.

It took two hours for Su Wen to find a suitable place to live near the Mercenary Union. There were so many hotels here, but most of them were already full.

“It is better to have two beds in a double room.”

When Su Wen found that there was a beautiful half-elf waiter standing in front of the counter of the hotel, he was not particularly surprised. Although half-elfs, as human slave races, almost no one would easily show up, there were always a few who would be assigned to work. What really made Su Wen feel strange was that he had been in the Brilliant Continent for half a year, and he had never seen any male half-elf. It is said that this kind of creature does not exist at all, and all those who can be called half-elfs are females.

The half-elf waiter flipped through the check-in manual in his hand, and then said to Su Wen apologetically: "The double room with two beds is already full."

"Then forget it, double beds are OK."

Su Wen himself didn't care. He was mainly worried that Liticia would not sleep well. This situation was not the same as she encountered this situation on the way, but she always felt that Liticia was strange when she slept with her in the same bed. Although it wasn't obvious that there was something strange, the quality of sleep was definitely worse than having two beds apart.

I guess it was because I failed to maintain my sleeping habits?

After running away, Su Wen felt that she should educate her, why can she ensure this good habit when she sleeps with the poor brains of Civina? But it is not good to treat it differently when it is her turn.

But after all, the matter is important. Su Wen couldn't wait to figure out everything about the Iron Lu Province, and it was not too late to think about these details. He told Liticia not to go out. After someone forced himself to break in, he used a pistol and a grenade to serve him. He left the hotel and returned to the unsatisfactory mercenary union, and walked through the crowded crowded mercenary union and squeezed into the hall.

In the Doron Empire, if you want to understand a place, whether it is terrain, humanistic customs or trends in all aspects, the mercenary union is definitely the only choice. Of course, the premise is to have enough observation. As the place where the population of migrant population in almost every town is the most dense, there are countless things that can be seen here. For example, from the types and types of mercenary missions, Su Wen knew that the tourism industry from Erimo Town to Tielu Castle was very prosperous, and there was no too dangerous area within a radius of 200 kilometers; from the various hand-painted maps sold in the shop, Su Wen could even see slightly larger stones in the suburbs of several towns near the Tielu Province; from the number and characteristics of mercenaries and customers, Su Wen found that most of the customers here were from other provinces, including aristocrats and wealthy merchants, and the mercenaries almost didn't have to live a life of licking blood at the edge of the knife. Of course, the pressure of competition was particularly high, which Su Wen was sure of.

After half an hour, if Su Wen just wanted to observe the basic situation of the Tielu Province, then the information he collected was more than enough, but after he felt the abnormality of the province... or strange, Su Wen was not satisfied with it. Many deep information may be able to draw conclusions through observation, but the time and energy required was so exhausted that he had to think of other solutions - intelligence merchants.

This kind of profession that is not very obvious is probably a secret published in the mercenary union. It is mainly used to cheat those stupid and rich financial backers, and to provide the information needed for customers who really need information. Since what Su Wen needs is a piece of information that is difficult to draw on the surface and will not mention in history books, then seeking the help of intelligence merchants is indeed a solution, but the water in this line is very deep. If it weren't for the intuition that Tielu Province has important significance for his future planning, Su Wen would not have chosen this method no matter what.

It is not easy for people without channels to find reliable intelligence merchants in strange cities. Although they will get 100% results when looking for them directly in the mercenary union stores, they will basically be slaughtered. Fortunately, the information Su Wen needed is not confidential, and even scarce intelligence is not considered a good deal. He just wants to have an intuitive understanding of the history and current situation of the Iron Fort. All intelligence merchants can provide such things, so naturally there is no way to say that they can be used as a rare product or a price for a place.

However, when Su Wen, who was wearing a hood, was recommended to a dark basement for more than ten minutes, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

In the mercenary union, whoever dares to play with the silence is simply trying to die. Therefore, this aura does not represent a hidden danger, but a slight sense of familiarity that makes Su Wen uncomfortable all over.

When he turned around the corner of the corridor and entered the room with dense documents unique to the intelligence merchant, this strange aura broke out completely.

"I* fuck!"

Su Wen finally couldn't help it, and pulled off the hood from his head and cursed.
Chapter completed!
