Chapter 21 Transactions
In addition to the nobles, there are also many rich merchants and middle-class families in Deco City. The meat consumption of these people made the meat on the market several times more expensive after being haunted by centaurs for two months.
Take Black Mountain as an example. A silver dollar pork and beef is used to fill up. Recently, the Adventurers Guild in Deco City has to spend six silver coins to eat meat. This is because the meat hunted by Adventurers is preferred for hotels in the Adventurers Guild.
If it were ordinary citizens, they didn’t even know where the black market for selling meat was.
However, after the frozen meat from Montenegro Fortress arrived, the meat price on the market had dropped by more than half before it was released.
In fact, the problem in Deco City is not a problem of price or a shortage of meat, but a problem of inability to fight against centaur robbers.
There are adventurers and troops stationed here in Deco City. But all centaur robbers are light cavalry and archers, plundering and going like the wind, but they do not attack the city. There are many troops leaving the city to wipe out the centaur, and the centaur runs away immediately.
If the army dares to chase after it, it will soon fall into the siege of centaurs. Even if it can fight a path of blood, let alone get the meat of the centaurs, even the corpse of the robes will not be brought back.
The Adventurers Guild of Montenegro sent advanced adventurers to Deco City, which wanted to break the siege of the Centaur in one fell swoop through the advanced adventurers.
If a few elite adventurers cannot solve the problem of Deco City, they have to send hundreds of thousands of troops to pull the nets and sweep the Centaur robbers in the plains.
However, the total strength of the Kingdom of Colin's army is only a few hundred thousand, and these hundreds of thousands of troops cannot be mobilized by the Kingdom of Colin's royal family. The so-called king is just a group of noble leaders on the mainland.
Moreover, in addition to the comfort of the royal city, the remaining things are mostly solved by the local nobles themselves. When attacked by monsters or enemy forces, the royal family may provide some assistance, but the royal family does not wipe the aristocrats. The main contradiction is that the local nobles themselves find ways to solve them.
In fact, most of the troops in this kingdom were not in the hands of the royal family, but in the hands of nobles at all levels. For example, the Earl of Deco in this city of Deco has an army of 15,000 people.
Earl Deco himself is also a Sacred Domain-level powerhouse. There are three Sacred Domain-level powerhouses in his family, and there are more than a dozen senior warriors who have more than ten levels of combat and are all middle and senior officers in the Deco City Army.
In addition to the royal orders, Count Deco was able to receive assistance from the Montenegro Fortress, because the commander who guarded the Montenegro Fortress and Count Deco were in-laws. Both were holy domain-level powerhouses in the Kingdom of Colin, and they were equal, so it was not surprising that they got married.
For example, two nobles fought against each other, one noble annexed the land and population of the other noble, and the role of the royal family of the King of Colin was to recognize it.
However, as long as a noble family has a Holy Domain-level powerhouse in their family, they will generally not be merged and removed from the list. After all, a Holy Domain-level powerhouse is hard to defend against guerrillas by killers. Even a Holy Domain-level powerhouse cannot be guarded against assassination of the Holy Domain-level enemies twenty-four hours a day.
Even if a noble family temporarily loses all the powerful people at the Sacred Realm level, in most cases, they can ask a non-first son, Sanctuary who cannot inherit the family business, to marry his own daughter and have children to inherit the family business and family name.
As for Link, after staying in the hotel of the Adventure Guild for two days and changing several intelligence officers, he learned about the situation here. Although it seemed urgent, several powerful people from the Earl of Deco in Deco did not take action, so there was nothing to be anxious about. Now there is no shortage of food and meat in the city, so it depends on when the centaur robbers will be repelled.
Originally, Link felt that there was nothing to be anxious about, but the Adventurer Guild was very anxious.
Two days after Link entered the city, the Adventurers Guild sent someone to invite Link to talk.
As a senior adventurer, the adventurer guild also gives some face.
Sitting down in the senior reception room of the Adventurers Guild, the president of the Deco City Guild opposite said, "I heard that you have a good way to deal with the centaurs."
"fine."
"Now the centaurs are raging near Deco City, and the people are not allowed to go home to farm, and the business roads are cut off. If this continues, there will be no harvest nearby next year."
"Tell me if you have anything to do."
"The main source of funds from our Adventurers Guild is the tax collection of civilians and business travelers. If the centaurs continue to rage, the Adventurers Guild in Deco City will not be able to hold on. Since you have a lot of experience in killing the centaurs, the union wants to at least drive the centaurs away."
Link took a sip of tea: "I want to kill most of the time, so the remaining centaurs can't be kept."
"It's almost that. Our guild can make the decision and increase the bounty for the centaurs."
"No, fifteen silver coins have already made good returns for me."
"Oh, thank you so much, Lord Link."
"However, I have another thing that needs help from the Adventurers Guild."
"What's the matter? As long as you can destroy the nearby centaur robbers, the guild will definitely not refuse."
"I want to learn magic, but I don't know where to learn it?"
"This is not a problem. Just a letter of introduction from the guild can be counted as a reward afterwards."
"Okay. I want to move my body too."
It's not been a day or two that Link wants to learn magic.
The legendary magicians in the mainland are all mysterious and powerful.
Although after joining the adventurer, we know that the magician is just a human being. However, from enchanting weapons, magic potions, etc., we can still see the power of the magician.
The most important thing is that Link's sacrifice can directly increase his magic value limit, which is much faster than most magicians can only increase the magic value level through meditation.
However, the magician did not set up a Colin Kingdom Magic Academy in the King of Capital like the Warriors. The King of Capital only had one Colin Kingdom Warriors Academy, and this Warriors Academy also had a senior command class.
Magicians above the Great Magician often have their own mage towers. In order to obtain magic materials more quickly, these mage towers are often built in areas with rich magic materials - or areas with high-level monsters scattered. For example, the Valley of Dragons, Trolls, etc., there are mage towers of great magicians or even legendary mages nearby.
This is quite dangerous for ordinary people. If the nobles want to go to the Mage Tower to learn magic, they must at least send escorts from the holy realm level to send them to the people.
