Wolf King

The city gate officer was named Dominic, a Cronin, and had just turned fifty. When he was an adventurer when he was young, Valentine City issued an unrestricted recruitment order sixteen years ago. When he had family members to take care of, he resolutely gave up his adventure career and fled to Philip.

This year is the ninth year that Dominique has served as the gatekeeper of the North City Gate. Over the years, he has seen all kinds of races, all kinds of adventurers, travelers, and even dealt with the dragons who are famous for their greed. ...But this is the first time this kind of trouble has happened.

Dominique's eyes stayed on the non-human symbolic ears on both sides of the talking heterogeneous young man's head for a few seconds, and then shifted his eyes to the sun cloth clothing worn by the other party.

"This is your rule, isn't it a problem? If you don't have a problem, just order the car a little bit and pay us to enter the city." Xiao Yun urged me to say nothing about the armor-wearing, as permitted by the rules, Reasonable tax avoidance Even the most powerful tax agency on the planet, IRS, has nothing to say, you can be more impeccable than the American Taxation Bureau!

City gate official Dominique: "...(o言o)" has never seen such a brazen man!

Isaac was numb, and Hanna collapsed.

Snow wolves are all written with purity...

After the air froze for a few seconds, Dominique took a step back, dryly: "No problem, sir."

Xiao Yun immediately turned his head and shouted, "Pull the cart over, hurry up, don't delay the time."

The adventurers squinted and stepped forward to help the carts-the surprises from those around the people from all ethnic groups admired, crying and laughing, the sight was almost driving the good-looking adventurers crazy! It's more embarrassing than being on the street.

The twelve pallet trucks delivered twelve silver coins, which were calculated to be 600 copper coins and eight catty genuine cold-eaten rabbits. They were not good-looking at that time... Eight catty cold-eaten rabbits were enough to send officials of the Ministry of Transport Margaret four times, carrying those elf warriors enough to sell the intelligence of Ananas City-not he is stingy, but this kind of worthless money spent on the truth and the water. the difference!

"Since it is a commercial city, merchants should be encouraged to flow goods. What kind of city fees do they hurt? It's too hurt others' enthusiasm for doing business. What do the city owners think of this place?" Xiao Yun rushed with dissatisfaction while counting silver coins With Isaac nagging. In modern times, you have to pay for tolls by pulling goods everywhere. Anyway, the local government has built a flat avenue for you. For the construction of this lousy road in Valentine, where does your face collect tolls!

Isaac looked speechless: "...Mr. Ayun, the city gate tax of Valentine is already the lowest in the Cronin Kingdom, and the city gate tax in other cities is also half of all commodities." (about twenty One in one)

"So the economy of this country is really not good. This is not called exhausting and fishing. When the fry in the pond are just thrown out, they are all taken out to cook soup!" Xiao Yun was even more disgusted.

Dominique collecting money: "..."

The veteran checking the goods next to him: "..."

The snow wolf clan carts are pulled with wool, food, tableware, tables and chairs. The inspection is a process; the three cubs carrying the goods deliberately lie down to let them check, and the guards soldiers push me for a long time In the end, the oldest veteran dared to step forward and hurriedly retreated.

"Don't lie on your back so real, your stomach is so dirty! Why don't you even do the face-saving project, and the city gate will be cleaned more often..."

Watching this strange team walk away in the whisper of the alien youth, a group of guarding soldiers couldn't get back...

"Domini, is this Snow Wolf tribe the Snow Wolf tribe in the Travels?" A young city defender said dumbly. "In the Elf Ranger Travels, it will become the red leaf race of the giant white wolf?"

"...It should be." City Gate Officer Donimick nodded stiffly.

"Aren't Hongye particularly generous and generous, how is the real snow werewolf like this!" The young soldier's face collapsed, feeling disillusioned.

"No wonder, not all Snow Werewolves are colored leaves, and there are not many wise and wise men like Kleist among the elves. The minstrels living near my house can't see anything except singing at night and making people sleep. "" The veteran next to interjected.

"No, I think it's just that the snow werewolf is special..." Dominique wiped his sweat. "Well? Wait, what did the knight call the snow werewolf just now?"

Valentine is a giant ring-shaped city built by the mountain. The area at the foot of the mountain belongs to the lower city, mostly civilians. It didn’t take much to enter the North City Gate. The most busy main road around the city appeared in a row. In front of people.

As the only open city in the Kingdom of Cronin, and benefiting from the commercial vitality brought by the port, Valentin’s lower city district is not directly equivalent to the slum’s endorsement as other cities—although the building complex is relatively old, but the streets Fairly spacious, it can accommodate four carriages side by side, businesses on the road are lined up, and the clothes of the newcomers are relatively clean and complete; in addition to the largest number of people, you can also see many non-human aliens, or participate in commercial activities, or in the street Hanging out.

Although there are many different races, the three cubs carrying goods in the team are still the most conspicuous existence. The lively street is quiet for a moment because of the presence of this pedestrian...

Xiao Yun looked at the streets that barely had the level of infrastructure at the urban-rural junction of the 28th-tier townships in China, and turned to look at Isaac: "Where is the poorest part of Xiacheng?"

"...The southern part of Xiacheng District." Isaac froze.

"Walking!" Xiao Yun boldly motioned for Isaac to lead the way.

Isaac lifted his foot subconsciously and walked a few steps before reacting: "Mr. Ayun, there is a little bit over Nancheng..."

"It's time to go. If we are going to recruit people overseas, the residents of this place are covered with red light and moistened as a child, so how hard is it to work overseas?" Xiao Yun waved.

Isaac really thinks about this...

Go south along the ring road of Xiacheng District. The further south, the fewer businesses there are, the more rudimentary buildings on both sides of the street, and the clothes worn by pedestrians on the road gradually appear patches; In the southern part of the city, Xiao Yun trance seems to see the slums of the third world countries that have only been seen on TV-the blue stone brick building has been replaced by yellow earth walls and wooden houses. A kind of shelter that can be obtained; some houses seem to be covered with a wooden shelf made of discarded canvas, which is a little bit like the style of the original Snow Wolf tribe...

There are almost no merchants in this place. Even if there are businessmen, they are street vendors, and the better wooden houses are pubs and gambling houses; there are four or five groups of idle people wandering on the street, at the root of the corner Numb beggars can be seen everywhere, and in the alleys on both sides of the road, from time to time, women who are exposed and cheaply dressed probe their heads outward.

Isaac frowned, and Hannah was also uncomfortable. They didn’t like this kind of sewage flowing all over the land, where robbers, thieves, beggars and prostitutes were everywhere Unstable elements, they can still afford the consumption in Midtown.

Xiao Yun's eyes were bright, and he frequently cast a friendly look at the idle people on the side of the road. After walking for a while and seeing a slightly fresher ground, he pointed towards the finger: "This is it, come and come to our recruitment office stand up!"

The Snow Wolf tribe would naturally not question A Yun’s decision, and the adventurers also stepped forward silently to help... The Isaac who was most likely to persuade Xiao Yun to speak was silent.

Isaac is also dignified, and he is always tired of being beaten.

The table and table were opened, and the stove made of the mud in the iron barrel was stuffed into the charcoal block to fire, and a barrel-shaped pot and iron pan of the stove were placed on the stove. The pots containing various spices were lined up in front of the table. Put together several tables into a long table, and place a small Mazar around the long table-yes, it is the Mazar that everyone knows, traditional Chinese handicraft products, legs crossed as a bracket, stretched canvas or hemp rope, etc., Can be folded, the most inexpensive and easy to carry small seats, in modern times still has not been eliminated.

Their group of people are busy here, attracting the attention of many casual people on both sides of the street. Local residents quietly peep out from the strangely shaped dwellings, and some boldly walked out of the house, standing in the alley or directly Come to the street and watch from afar.

Xiao Yun didn't let the three cubs recover, but they were not allowed to make trouble in such a dirty place. They each sent a bag of sugar cubes to let them sit down honestly, and the fur was padded under the wolf's buttocks. ...Washing the wolf form is not much effort, it can be cleaned a little.

Of course, this is to avoid unnecessary troubles. The three big wolves squatted like this, and those idle people who are about to move... Uh, it seems that the local gang members did not dare to come and scream; although Sean went to the upper route to help snow The recruitment of the wolf tribe saves countless things, but it is not interesting to play pigs to attract the bottom forces to play face-slapping. If you can save something, you can save something.

A charcoal fire started, the pot was hot, and a large jar of oily spicy rabbits fell down. As the oil temperature increased, the aroma with a rich spicy pungent odor quickly spread out; within a few minutes, there were more Local residents walked out of their homes, or lying on the wall, or shrinking to the corner of the street, countless pairs of hot eyes turned to this group of strange strangers...

Xiao Yun saw that the preparations were almost the same, and there were a certain number of crowds watching. He shook his head at Isaac: "Come, go."

Isaac: "Uh..."

"Don't bother with me, Pan Liang is a handsome guy. He is righteous and a knight. Who can be more convincing than you? Come on." Xiao Yun urged.

Isaac had no choice but to walk daringly to the desk, straightened his body, and stood firm on the execution ground: "Residents, fellow citizens, there are Snow Wolf tribes here to recruit--"

"Do you recite the lines, pay attention to attitudes, attitudes!" Xiao Yun yelled behind, "Be kind and friendly, and be verbal!"

"..." Isaac was stubborn and gave up the treatment place. "Everyone noticed that the Snow Wolf tribe has come to recruit workers. All meals are included. The monthly salary is five silver coins! The work place is on the west coast of the northern mainland grassland. The snow wolf tribe takes over and works eight months a year. In winter, everyone will be back to spend the winter—"

Five silver coins!

The crowd of onlookers suddenly made a commotion, and the salary in the midtown area was three or four silver coins. That is not a job that the average person can win, and it will also be drawn by the union in the lower urban area...If you can earn five silver coins per month, the day is not Know how much better!

But...this is the first time that aliens came to recruit workers, even in the most open Valentin in Cronin, and still asked to go to work away from their hometowns. Although the residents were still excited, they still chose to wait and see. People dare to step forward.

Xiao Yun was very disgusted with Isaac's inability to put it down, and turned to look at the adventurer team, raising his hands to greet two of the brothers: "Edward, Wien, you two come over."

The cavalier brothers are Hannah's powerful officers. Unfortunately, Yun Yun remembered their names and remembered them both intentionally and unconsciously when they practiced. Seeing that they were named again, other adventurers cast their eyes on sympathy.

"Mr. Ayun." Edward Knight, the shield knight, was quite polite, regardless of mood.

"The two of you went to the crowd and went to publicize it up close, focusing on the welfare treatment of our Snow Wolf family, and explaining to them that we only recruit two people today and tomorrow, and if there are more than 500 people left, let us sign up. Opportunity, after this village, there is no such store...If you sign a labor contract on the spot, you can bring the whole family to come and eat here! We will pay a hundred pounds of noodles!

The knights were born on the ground floor, playing small is a street wanderer. The martial arts are taught by Hannah, and the name is given by Hannah. There is no such awkwardness as Isaac who can’t keep alive, remember Xiao Yun’s words. He walked out of the recruitment office, one to the left and one to the right, and split up to lobby the local residents who were both frightened and frightened.

The living expenses of the residents in this block for one month are barely enough for the price of a "Travel in the Mainland". The understanding of the Snow Wolf is limited to only a few words from the people who work in Shangcheng District. The recognition of the supporting roles of winning the lottery is quite low. When the knightly brothers on the street for many years knew what these residents cared about, they were looking for the stubborn, sloppy, and children with children around them, and they focused on lobbying:

"Do you know vermicelli? The kind of food made with special techniques mentioned in the travel notes, this kind of food can not be eaten in the southern continent, we adventurers often eat in the northern continent. Two to three two vermicelli can be cooked full A full bowl of powder is enough for an adult to have a full meal... If you sign a labor contract, the Snow Wolf family will pay a one-hundred kilogram of noodles for one-time placement. There are four people in your family. Two months!"

"Don’t worry, the Snow Wolf family knows that you will care about the survival of your family. Your monthly salary can be exchanged for equivalent food at the Snow Wolf family. The Snow Wolf family has a very good relationship with the Adventurer Association Transportation Department. You can trust them. Help transport back, your family will go to the dock to pick up..."

"Safety issues? Don't worry at all. The place where you work is right next to Elven Harbor. There is no safer place than there!"

"The Snow Wolf tribe still has a lot of things to do. It only takes two days to recruit. If it recruits 500 people, it may end early--"

Shield Knight Edward’s eloquence is not bad. He chose a resident holding a child to persuade a lot of people around him soon after persuasion. As he explained the welfare of the Snow Wolf family one by one, the one holding the child The more eager the man's eyes are on the Snow Wolf Employment Office.

The Nancheng resident holding a child's name was Sam. He was originally a farmer in the Burton territory next door. When he was fifteen, he followed the villagers of the same village to come to Walk to survive. He lived in Xiacheng for ten years.

The system of feudal segregation of land power adopted by Cronin is undoubtedly the most reliable and convenient for the top nobles. A pig sitting in the position of the lord can live comfortably and arrogantly; in contrast, the life of the bottom civilians is the purgatory model. Well... the serfs bitterly made yellow gall water, and the self-cultivating farmers were not much better. After paying the lord’s taxes, the rest of the food was barely enough to feed the family, and it’s no wonder that Valentine came in after opening his arms. Large population-the population has increased nearly 100 times in thirty years, which is a miracle in which world.

However, although Valentin's business activities are prosperous and free, it can't digest so much manpower, especially in the southern city of Xiacheng District. The only way for most ordinary residents to survive is to wait for the union to arrange and go to the dock after registering with the union. Being a coolie...Although a lot of money will be taken away by the union, at least it can feed itself and its family.

Now this month is the low season of the maritime trade, and the work of the drudgery of the terminal has to take turns. Many households have cut off their food and have to let their women start a skin and meat business. Even so, it is difficult to alleviate the embarrassment. The Nancheng area is really Is not attracting many "guests".

Sam’s family hasn’t gotten there yet, but it’s only a week to go to the pier to work for two days. Such a thin income also forced him and his family to tighten their belts to live a life; adults can bear, children can’t bear, let Sam, who exports grain, has been messing up his belly with drinking water only since yesterday, and now the arms holding his daughter are a little soft, not to mention the salary of up to five silver coins, just a hundred pounds of Anjialiang and the whole family’s meal The treatment made Sam extremely excited.

But...if he left, there would be only one wife in the family who would take care of the two children, which would make Sam very immobile.

Just as Sam was hesitant, an alien from the Snow Wolf tribe’s recruitment office threw a large amount of diced meat into the oil pan. With the explosion of "Ziz", the strong aroma of meat The wind blew towards the crowd, and the gurgling of "Guru" suddenly sounded.

"Dad..." The daughter who had been lying quietly on Sam's chest raised her head and looked at her father, biting her finger, her small face full of longing.

The well-behaved daughter would not scream hungry to her father, which caused Sam to quickly make up his mind and humbly bow down to thank the knight who explained them to him, then drilled out of the crowd and strode to the Snow Wolf family. Walk around.

Some of the people around listened to it for a long time, but they were undecided to take the risk. Seeing Sam moved, countless people focused their attention on Sam—

Sam went down to the desk with a sigh of relief. After seeing the fierce adventurers and those amazing interracials standing behind the desk, he instantly turned pale and involuntarily stepped back half a step.

Xiao Yun looked at the situation and quickly turned to Thrall.

Thrall came out of the crowd and greeted Sam happily with a smile: "Hi, man, don't be nervous, come sit here and talk."

Thrall’s lingua franca had a little accent from Bolton’s territory, and Sam could hear it at once, staring at the other person in amazement, and after responding, he hugged his daughter and bowed: “Good day, respectable lord.

"You're also a Bolton, this is a coincidence!" Thrall's attitude was closer, and he took a seat of Maza, and waved to Sam again. "I'm not a lord, just call me Thrall. Just sit down. Come on man, your daughter is so cute, what is her name?"

Speaking of her daughter, Sam's nervousness eased a lot, and slowly moved over embarrassedly: "She has no name..."

Before offending the nobles in Bolton's territory, Sarna was also a character who could eat well on the street. After a chill, he lifted the other's alertness, and used his own experience of living in the Snow Wolf tribe to emphasize how many Snow Wolf tribes are to the human race. Friendly, and skillfully took the little girl over to sit on the knees to feed-although not much to deal with the cubs, but in terms of coaxing and feeding Thrall is also not sloppy.

Wearing a low-key luxury with connotation (sun cloth), a decent manner with aristocratic temperament (Salzu is also good or bad), he is so approachable and so direct to express his love for his children. Sam is grateful and grateful. I gave a clear account of my family, and gave me a contract of sale in half-and-half place... uh... I signed a labor contract, and left my daughter as a hostage, carrying a hundred pounds of vermicelli in the company of an adventurer Run home and call my wife and children...

The Sam family of four sat at the long table with a fierce whisper of powder, with bones and meat chewing rabbits, and the crowd still watching was finally loosened and rushed to the recruitment office of the Snow Wolf tribe in groups...

Xiao Yun embraced his chest with both hands, hit his shoulders, and shouted dryly, and Isaac, who was shut down by Xiao Yun and disgusted him, said: "I see it, people call it the correct attitude to do things, and I don't look like it. You are not as handsome as you, but it’s better than you, heh~"

Isaac glanced at Thrall, surrounded by a group of local residents, and silently turned his face away.

The head of Hannah, who was not asked to "receive guests" because of her face (...), gave Isaac a sympathetic glance.

There are thousands of households in Nancheng, Xiacheng District, and thousands of young men and young men, but most people have not dared to come up for registration because of too many scruples, courage, and reluctance to go to sea from their hometowns. This group of people worked for one year to bring their salaries back and then followed suit... So they recruited more than three hours in a lively way, and there were 300 people who signed the contract, which is still a little far from the goal of 500 people.

Xiao Yun, this person, it takes only two days to get things done impatiently, forcing Isaac to take the Cavaliers to the streets and publicize, calling out those who are still hungry at home...

"In addition to the 500 male workers, we also recruit female workers. How much we can count, we should pay attention to this point." Xiao Yun urged that the low-end market wool wool textiles require a large number of textile workers, small cats completely If it is not enough, the tribe has to expand the warehouse with original wool again and again. If two women workers can go back, then there will be no trouble.

"Wait, it's impossible to call all female workers to go to men..." Xiao Yun glanced at the adventurer team again. "All the women come out, Hannah, you also run."

Head Hannah: "..." Isn't it safe to cover your face with meat!

In order to avoid this group of guys not working, Xiao Yun asked the grassroots patriarch to "supervise"...

Outside the crowd, several gloomy men watched a snow werewolf and several adventurers leave the "hiring office" and drilled into the alley. They glanced at each other and quietly retreated.
