Evolve bloodline from golden dragon

Chapter 122

The eastern border of Xilan Mountain.

Twin Mountains are not prominent among the thousands of hills in Xilan Mountain. They had gained quite a reputation two years ago.And now, it is even more famous here.

Originally, there was nothing here except a fortress between the mouths of the mountains.After more than a year of development, on a flat ground in front of the mountain, a new town was gradually completed - Shuangzi Town.

Shuangzi Town does not occupy a large area, and the city wall is only more than three meters high. Although it is also built of solid bricks and stones like the fortress, it can be seen that the main purpose of their design and construction was not defense.

That's because the mission of Twin Towns is trade.

At this moment, a steady stream of pedestrians, carriages, and caravans are coming in and out of the gate of the town, which is very lively.

A tall, blond man was standing at the gate of the town, nodding secretly as he watched the flow of people coming and going.

"It seems that the development here is not bad." Theos thought to himself.

That's right, this blond man is not a human businessman who is going to come here to do business, but is transformed by Theos transfiguration.

After leaving Joseph Garden, Theos rushed back to Xilan Mountain without stopping.

He didn't know if the members of the Featherscale Club who went together had returned, but under the circumstances at the time, it was unrealistic to come back together, so Theos had to go first by himself.

Flying all the way, outside the mountains, when approaching the Twin Mountains, Theos suddenly had an idea and wanted to hide his identity and come in to take a look.

In the past, Theos mostly stayed in the city of Osfil, and he only needed to give his own orders, and his will would be carried out by Robbie and others.

But Theos couldn't say clearly what it looked like underneath.

Therefore, the idea of ​​"private visit with micro-service" came into being.In addition, this is a trade zone designated by Theos himself, so it is necessary to check it carefully.

So Theos turned into an ordinary human being, ready to experience it on the spot.

When he came to the gate of the town, he was very satisfied with the continuous stream of carriages and horses.

It is worth mentioning that all human businessmen need to pay taxes when they come to do business.Therefore, outside the town gate, a space was specially vacated, and Osfil's personnel inspected the goods, estimated the value, and charged fees.

Those Goblin tax collectors with notebooks and eyes full of glare carefully counted the approaching carriages, and then wrote down a tax amount.

The human merchants all showed bitterness, as if they had suffered a lot of losses.

Theos shook his head lightly. Didn't others know that he didn't know? Human businessmen are all profit-seeking creatures who don't make money, and those present here are probably acting school.

Theos was alone, and he didn't have any goods to check. He came to the door openly, but was stopped unexpectedly.

"Ten copper coins." The hobgoblin guard guarding the gate stretched out his hand.

Theos was dumbfounded. He didn't expect to pay for entering the city?

He really doesn't know about this, and he usually doesn't bother with such trivial regulations, so it's relieved to think about it carefully.

As a lord, he still has money, but Theos... has no copper coins.

Flipping the palm of his hand, a shiny silver coin lay in the palm of his hand. "Take it."

The hobgoblin guard took the money and put it into the cash box next to it.

For a while, Theos didn't wait for the other party to change the money.

"Shouldn't you give me change?"

"No." The hobgoblin grinned.

"Please don't block the intersection, there are still many people to enter."

When Theos turned his head, he saw that the long line of human businessmen behind him who were about to enter the city was really impatient.

Shaking his head, Theos had no choice but to enter the city, but his brows were already frowned.

No dragon likes to see his money stolen, even though everything here belongs to Theos.

"This friend."

Just as Theos was still thinking about whether he should bring some copper coins next time, a young human chased after him.

"Hi, my name is Potter, an adventurer."

"Hello." Theos nodded as a greeting.

"Is this your first time here?" Potter came up and asked, obviously acquainted, regardless of whether Theos wanted to talk or not.

"It is indeed a one-time visit. I heard that there will be a market here, where you can buy special products from the interior of Xilan Mountain." Theos took the conversation.

Now that this human being has come together, he can take this opportunity to understand the views of human beings, so he then asked: "How did you know that I came here for the first time?"

Potter laughed and said, "Haha, I've seen everything about you paying an extra entry fee just now."

"However, although you paid more money, this loss is nothing. You will buy some special products from here later, and then take them out to sell, and you can earn them all back immediately."

"I promise that's more than a silver coin." Poland blinked.

"However, you can't buy too much, otherwise, you will be targeted by those monster tax officials, and you need to pay a tax!"

Theos understood.It seems that the administrators of Shuangzi Town conduct checks and collect taxes when businessmen come in and out.

The transactions in the town are complicated and difficult to manage. This is one way.However, the keen Theos still heard the implication from Potter's words.

"You mean, if I bring enough goods, I don't have to pay tax?"

Potter nodded: "That's it."

"If you buy a little something and hide it on your body, can they still search you? Otherwise, why do they require everyone who enters the city to pay a fee?"

In other words, in order to deal with private concealment, Shuangzi Town simply stipulates that everyone who enters the city must pay money.

This is not impossible, but it is still too rough for Theos.

"And you? I think you are alone."

"Me? I'm just interested in the place itself. By the way... see if I can find anything good."

The two walked while chatting.

Beside the main road in the town, there are row upon row of various trading shops.

The owners of these shops may be goblins, gnolls, lizardmen, tauren, trolls, bearmen, etc., and even humans.

They bargained with the merchants they came and went, and then exchanged each other's goods.

Due to Osfil's policy issues, the entire Xilan Mountains have not been released, and business is also under control, and everything is deployed in a unified manner.

Therefore, although Twin Towns was opened, there were not many merchants on Osfer's side.Therefore, it is mainly based on each tribe as a unit, sending representatives here to do business with humans.

"Come here, do you want to try my favorite icing slime? My treat." Porter dragged Theos to a roadside stall nearby.

There are more than a dozen tables and chairs set up here, and many people of all ethnic groups are already sitting and eating here.

Potter was very acquainted, and sat down with Theos, reaching out to greet the frogman boss.

"Two icing slimes."

Theos frowned wildly, but seeing Potter's good intentions, he did not refuse.

A human can eat it, but a golden dragon will be afraid of him?
"It looks like you come here often," Theos said.

"No, I've only been here a few times."

"I just find it interesting, and there's a lot of new stuff here."

Potter's words are true. The many monster tribes in Xilan Mountain are very different from humans, and there are some things in various aspects that humans cannot imagine.

Like... Frosted Slime.

The two were sitting here waiting for the food to be served. On the street, a small patrol of goblin soldiers came along the road.

Wherever the patrol team passed by, everyone gave way one after another, which seemed to be somewhat powerful.

After a while, this group of goblins walked straight to Theos, found a big table and sat down.

"Boss! Serve the food!" The leader was a goblin officer, who greeted the frogman boss.

The frogman boss was very polite, and after a while, a large table of meals was served.Barbeque steaks, fruits, and bread are all available.

The sumptuous food looked very tempting, and Theos, who hadn't eaten a serious meal for half a year, couldn't help feeling a little greedy.

Naturally, this group of goblin soldiers devoured all the food on the table, and the big ones were about to get up with a full belch.

The goblin officer wanted to pay the bill, but the frogman boss refused repeatedly.In the end, he left without spending a penny.Seeing the attitudes of the boss and the soldiers, Theos clearly wasn't the first time this happened.

"This is what amuses me the most." Bit was a little amused, and said: "These races have changed and are like humans. In my opinion, in many ways, they are not much different from humans."

Having said that, But Theos could hear that Potter's tone was not all praise.

Shaking his head slightly, Theos was also helpless.

Apparently, the team of goblin soldiers was eating the overlord's meal just now.

There are so many alien races under Osfil, and there are not many kind-hearted ones, so where can civilization go?To be honest, it is already a miracle to get to this point.

This kind of abuse of power for their own convenience is unavoidable even for humans, so how can they ask monsters to do it?

Thinking of this, Theos was relieved just now, but immediately froze.

"No, humans can't do it, so why can't my subjects do it?" Theos thought to himself.

Moreover, this is also a bad atmosphere, and it may become more and more serious in the future.

What's more, it may breed corruption and even cooperate with the enemy.

At any time, this kind of thing must be stopped and strictly dealt with.

Thinking of this, Theos had already made up his mind to investigate carefully to see if there were any other tricks, so as to kill them in the cradle.

"Potter, tell me, if I spend a sum of money, can I win over the monster leader here?" Theos turned his head and asked.

Beetle was a little surprised, but soon understood.

"My friend, don't do this. This kind of behavior is still not allowed. Although it is already possible to trade here, these monsters are still more defensive against us."

"A few months ago, there were businessmen who tried to do this and were kicked out."

Theos felt a little comforted in his heart, and felt relieved, but Bit's next words made his comfort disappear.

"However, you can use money to establish relationships with them, maybe you can get some information, and some businessmen even make friends with some foreign races in private, and you can get some discounts."

Potter leaned his head back. "I also heard that some soldiers can help transport some of the goods."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that these goods will no longer need to pay taxes for entering and leaving the town." Potter lowered his voice.

"But I only heard about these things, I don't have the ability."

Theos's face has darkened, very ugly.

Good guy, just now I was wondering if there would be collusion with the enemy, so there is already smuggling?
"What's the matter, friend? Your complexion looks a little bad."

"It's okay." Sios smiled.

Next, the two enjoyed frosted slime together.

In fact, it is not a strange food. It is a dessert made of slime gel and icing sugar. Not to mention, it is quite delicious.

Halfway through the meal, Theos went over to pay the bill and left alone without saying goodbye to Potter.

Then for the next half day, Theos used the Transfiguration technique to transform into a canary, walked around the twin towns by himself, and tracked the transactions here by the way, as expected, he found a lot of clues.

As Porter said, there is indeed a lot of chaos here.Some are upper-level officials who use their power for personal gain, while others are lower-level soldiers who hide goods to avoid inspection, and then share the profits with human merchants.

After walking around, Theos's mood had changed from good to bad, and then calmed down again.

Osfil is expanding rapidly, and it's normal for him to be unable to keep up in all aspects, and it's useless to be angry.Theos can't turn everyone into his own blood.

Among them, what he was particularly concerned about was that he also discovered the fact that human businessmen were probing Osfil's information.

The low-level personnel are inherently poor in quality, and the other party has no intention of doing mental calculations, so they can get a lot of words out of them.

It is easy to catch and kill these businessmen, but the most important thing is to find out who is behind the scenes.

Leaving Twin Town, Theos recovered his body and flew towards Snowcrown Mountain.

The mighty and slender body of the golden dragon is unimpeded all the way, looming in the clouds.

Under the sky, many people saw Theos and became excited. Some tribes even bowed down to him.

No matter what kind of faults there are at the bottom, there is no doubt that in Osfer, there is no one who does not surrender to Theos.

The beautiful Snow Crown Mountain slowly came into view, Theos didn't stay for a moment, his figure slowly descended, and landed in his bedroom.

In the city of Osfer, everyone saw his figure, and Theos was announcing his return.

"Big brother!"

Kawei greeted him immediately, but he was overjoyed to see his elder brother come back when he opened his eyes.

The two brothers talked for a while before Theos went to the committee headquarters.

As soon as they came to the office, Robbie, Erso, Thoradin and others were already waiting here in advance.

"Welcome to the return of the master! Your dragon power is finally bestowed on your people once!" All the subordinates bowed in unison.

"Get up." Theos sat down in a comfortable position. "Did anything happen during this time?"

Several people looked at each other, and Robbie took a step forward and said: "Everything is going according to your plan, very smooth. But there is one thing I want to tell the master, our tribe in the south has found traces of the dwarves in the city of Melting Hammer, and There was a little conflict with us."

"Melting Hammer City?" Theos pondered for a moment, writing down the matter.

"We must fight back against the offense of the dwarves of Melting Hammer City, but before that, I think we need to deal with internal problems first." Theos's voice became serious, and everyone was very puzzled.

"See for yourself!"

Theos waved his hand, and an image appeared out of thin air, which was recorded by Theos in Twin Town with magic.

The picture is very clear, and there is even sound.From the conversation between Theos and Potter to the content of Theos's own investigation, it is all in it.

The screen was played to normal, and Robbie was sweating profusely, and fell to his knees with a plop.

"Damn Robbie!"
