Chapter 17 Larante
There was a cold wind blowing in Lalante in the early morning, and thin mist shrouded every part of the city.
But soon, the morning light shone through and as the city gate opened, the fog dissipated, revealing the vibrant town below.
Dang! Dang! Dang! The early morning bells woke up the whole city. People began to come out of their houses one after another. Newsboys shouted today's news. Washerwomen were beating clothes by the river in the early morning. Coachmen were busy pulling
The things needed by the city are being circulated in the streets and alleys, delivering the raw materials needed by one shop after another.
This is Lalante City, a border city of the Star Maple Kingdom. Although it is said to be a border city, it is actually quite prosperous and is considered one of the top big cities among humans.
Because Lalante is only two or three days away from the Monster Forest, the dense primitive jungle has brought countless gifts, including animal skins and bones, monster cubs, various minerals, and medicines.
This is a trading city. Adventurers and speculators enter the forest, risk their lives to collect the rich products, and then sell them to merchants. The merchants then transport the materials produced in this city to other places and sell them at high prices.
, that’s the rule here.
But today, a carriage slowly drove into the city gate, everything was normal, just like it had been repeated thousands of times in the past few decades.
When the carriage arrived at the station, the driver waved his whip and said, "Sir, Larante has arrived."
"Okay, thank you." In the carriage, a hand stretched out and opened the curtain. It was a little girl who covered half of her face with her hair. She deftly put down the steps of the carriage: "Master, you can come down now."
A young man stepped out of the carriage. He looked to be in his mid-twenties, with black hair and black eyes. He was gorgeously dressed and tall. He was carrying a leather box in his hand and was neatly dressed.
It is Lu En and Nana.
The coachman glanced at the young man, and then at Nana, who was very attentive even though she was wearing an adventurer's attire. He thought to himself that the son of a rich or aristocratic family might be here.
There are many such people in Larante, because the business here is prosperous. For those who like to have fun, this place has everything they need, and there are also many game foods that cannot be tasted in civilized areas. For people who want to inherit the family business,
For those who hone themselves, this place is full of opportunities and challenges. Money continues to circulate here and is transformed into materials and transported to all parts of the world.
But this had nothing to do with the coachman. He just watched the two men walking towards the street, then whipped the horses and headed towards the next business.
Lu En walked on the street and looked around the city. What surprised him was that the world was much more developed than he imagined. Although the political system of human kingdoms was still that of the Middle Ages, the technology was obviously much higher than that of the Middle Ages.
In the Middle Ages, probably because of the existence of magic, this place looked quite shocking.
There are so many high-rise buildings. It is hard to imagine that a world without concrete can actually build such skyscrapers. The city is very busy, full of businessmen bargaining, and secretaries with memoranda in mind are quickly writing down something on paper.
.
There are equipment shops where adventurers need all kinds of potions and rune products, and there are also various blacksmith shops that provide mercenaries or adventurers with cheap but relatively reliable weapons and armor, but there are more shops selling various goods.
, including a wide variety of products.
There are stalls and stands everywhere, and buyers from all over the country are picking and choosing in front of the goods.
There are all kinds of people on the street. Peons in tattered clothes, civilians in old clothes, and some slightly better-dressed people can be seen arrogantly directing some bare-chested peons to carry goods.
But even if there are no people wearing gorgeous clothes, those big shots usually don't come to the most basic market areas. They all like to talk loudly in high-rise buildings.
Therefore, Lu En's appearance attracted quite a lot of attention.
There is no special reason, just because there are few rich people walking on this lowest street.
"Sir... I said, the human realm has arrived, what are you going to do?" Nana had a headache. She said she wanted to come to the human side to do things, but she couldn't figure out what the Demon King was going to do.
"How to do it? Of course it's to make money." Lu En squinted his eyes and looked around, while answering Nana's words.
"How to make money? Steal? Or rob? I have some experience in stealing, but you probably can't learn it." Although Nana said "Master", she still couldn't tell how much respect she meant.
"Steal? Rob? That's not possible. The money will come in too slowly." Lu En smiled.
"Isn't this slow? If you do a good job, you can earn six or seven moons in one night." Nana rolled her eyes. What can Lu En do faster than stealing? She is a veteran in this industry and is very familiar with the market.
"It's too slow. It's only so much in one night. How can it be enough?" Lu En shook his head. He knew what moon money meant. Nana had explained before that it was their slang. One moon money refers to one silver coin.
"Then what does fast mean?" Nana was confused.
"Of course the fastest way is to let them take the initiative to send me money." Lu En smiled and replied.
"Why do they take the initiative to give you money?" Nana looked at Lu En suspiciously. What on earth is this demon king planning?
However, vaguely, she felt that the other party really seemed to be able to get others to give him money.
After all, he has accomplished even the absolutely impossible thing of escaping from the encirclement. Giving money...should not be difficult, right?
"Why? Hey, it's up to you, little Nana." Lu En pinched Nana's chin, showing an evil expression.
I don't know why, Nana shuddered.
"Which... I'm still a chick, I can't sell it for much money." Nana flinched.
Lu En rolled his eyes, didn't answer, and walked forward.
Nana hurriedly followed, worried that the Demon King was going to engage in flesh and blood business?
But even with this concern, she still did not run away, not even thinking of running away.
Inadvertently, Nana herself did not realize that she already had a blind trust in Lu En to a certain extent.
A few hours later, in a clothing store, Nana looked at herself in the mirror with a dull expression.
"How is this guest? Are you satisfied? You are such a kind person that you are willing to buy such clothes for your servant." The shopping guide next to him said flatteringly to Lu En. This rich man treats his servants like this.
You're so generous, you may have tipped a lot!
However, the servant girl he brought was too thin. How could she be so thin? Even the smallest clothes were loose on her body, as if she was wearing a sack made of fine fabrics. It was not easy for him to find something suitable.
But he was more envious because he had a good life and found a good master.
Lu En didn't speak, just nodded.
Nana, on the other hand, was extremely nervous.
She didn't expect that the first thing Lu En did when he arrived here was to buy her a piece of clothing.
This is a pretty good piece of clothing. Although it has the same design as a maid outfit, both the fabric and workmanship are very detailed.
The workmanship of the uniform is really good, Nana thought to herself. Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the hem of the skirt, trying to find a thread to rub to relieve the tension. In the end, she found nothing. There was no exposed thread on this dress, unlike the ones she had worn before.
