Players' NPC boss

Strangers, as the name implies, are people from another world.

Most of the time, strangers are in their original world. In this alien world for them, their activities will not be too long, about 1 or 2 hours on average.

If strangers are in a mental illness state called [Long Grass Period], strangers will consciously isolate themselves in their own world until they recover.

Recently, there have been many major events, and strangers have not had [Long Grass Period] for a long time, and the time they stay in this world has also increased.

However, this does not change one situation, that is, it is quite difficult to take the initiative to find strangers, they are elusive.

Blaze intends to hand over the dog head statue to Wardsif personally, so he directly finds the headquarters of [Azazel] - Low Howling Mountains.

This is the neutral zone between the Giant Kingdom Alliance and the Eternal Kingdom. Although a town has been built, it has been abandoned because there are too many dangerous monster groups and bandit strongholds around...

This is a thing of the past, and now it has become a prosperous town.

"This place is pretty amazing." Blaze scratched his neck uncomfortably.

"Balkan City is like the countryside compared to here, right?" Herbie, who acted as a tour guide, patted Blaze's arm.

"Don't worry, compared to here, most of the world is the countryside."

Logically speaking, it is impossible for a super killer guild like [Azazel] to establish a guild. Even if a building is built, it will be classified as a bandit stronghold due to the lack of [real estate contract].

However, [Azazel] is a legal guild. They are attracted by the terrible monsters around the Low Howling Mountains and the terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In exchange for regularly clearing the monsters outside the town and escorting caravans, they get [real estate contracts].

As mentioned before, the Low Howling Mountains is a neutral zone between the Giant Kingdom Alliance and the Eternal Kingdom. Previously, due to the poor living environment, no party was willing to take over this mess.

And [Azazel] made this mess revitalized and turned it into a prosperous town, making the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

No kingdom would mind having another prosperous town on its map, so whether it was the Eternal Kingdom or the Giant Kingdom Alliance, they all gave [Real Estate Contracts], and [Azazel] accepted them without hesitation.

In this way, the Howling Mountains continued to be neutral, but they were officially recognized by both kingdoms and enjoyed the benefits brought by the secret struggle between the two kingdoms.

Of course, there must be dirty tricks in the open and secret struggles between the kingdoms, but [Azazel] is the world's number one killing guild, and playing dirty tricks will directly evaporate from the world.

"What is this called? It's the power of self-management, so the strangers of [Azazel] can transform this town so differently." Hebi looked at the buildings of different styles around him with envy. These peculiar architectural styles alone can welcome many guests.

"Because it's a neutral zone, there's a [black market] here, which is definitely a huge profit, and there's no need to collect taxes!"

"Is the latter the key point?"

Blazer raised his eyebrows. How should he put it? Most of the time, foreigners bring good things from their world.

Endless food, fantastic architectural styles, etc., but there are good and bad things, and the bad part is [tax evasion].

Before the appearance of foreigners, merchants didn't want to pay taxes, but the only tax evasion they could do was to falsify accounts.

But after the foreigners came, there were all kinds of things, and it was hard to explain, which brought extremely bad effects to the order of the kingdom.

Fortunately, there are foreigners who bring tax evasion, and there are foreigners who check accounts.

No matter which world, there are wars around tax evasion.

"Haven't you ever used the tricks of strangers?"

"Silly cough cough, the great [Hermes's Traveling Hat]'s backer Culene once said that taxation is a contract between the kingdom and merchants." Hebi coughed, pinched his throat and took a few steps forward, imitating Culene's appearance.

"The kingdom has given us the right to do business, and we will use taxes as a reward. Tax evasion is a heartbreaking betrayal."

When talking about heartache, Hebi also made a gesture of covering his chest in pain.

"Of course, the main reason is the word [trust]. Doing it once is like leaving a brand of [this person is a liar] on your face. The more brands, the less trust there is."

"Besides, the taxation between the kingdoms is reasonable, which is a win-win situation between us and the kingdom. There is no need to destroy our reputation for petty profits."

"Really? Maybe he really feels bad." Blazer listened to Hebi's chattering.

I don't know if it's because the success of the exchange of power between the earth and the sun is imminent, the world will be turned upside down, and all these problems of Typhon can be solved, so he feels a lot more relaxed.

Perhaps it's really like what Kullene said, the day when the power between the earth and the sun is exchanged is the moment when a new era arrives.

The world will usher in a new life.

"But haven't you been busy looking for benefits from the world competition of strangers recently? So you have time to be my guide."

Herbie paused, crossed her arms, and stomped her feet lightly on the ground. After a while, she turned her head as if she had made up her mind.

"Tell me honestly, has something happened to Vader?"

"Well, something did happen."

"You're lying. She used to come to play with me every day, but recently she... Huh? Something happened!?" Herbie shouted out the doubts he had prepared for a long time, but he didn't expect to hit an invalid output.

"Didn't you tell me not to lie to you?" Blazer looked at Snake beside him, asking her if she wanted to explain to Herbie in person, but Snake shook her head at him.

"That guy did have a big problem, and I basically went to heaven and earth to find a solution. In the process, Kuleni also appeared and gave me help."

"Yeah……"

Hebie felt a little uncomfortable. She thought she would be very excited, but unexpectedly she was very calm.

This was probably because Blaze was very honest and told her about the chicken's situation without any secret.

She is a calm person who tries not to let herself get emotional. So when she knows the problem and doesn't need to guess, she won't panic.

"You should have told me this kind of thing earlier. Things like collecting materials and props are what I, the logistics person, should do."
