Chapter 47 - West City
“Stay in the hotel.” Barr said.
“Every guest, please come this way.” The catman waiter led the way.
Barr and the others followed the waiter to the counter. Sitting behind the counter was a cat-human beauty who looked twenty-seven or eight-year-old, with an elegant temperament and a very beautiful appearance. A few men in the team, except for Baal and Bart, all had bright eyes.
“Boss, these guests want to stay in the hotel.”
The catwoman nodded, the waiter turned and left
“Cough!”
Barr turned around and glared at a few people, his face a little embarrassed.
“A few guests want to stay at the hotel?” The catwoman looked curiously at Lilith next to her, and stood up with a smile.
When she stood up, Baal realized that the beautiful cat person in front of her had no tail, and she seemed to be a half cat person. For a half-orc to open an inn in Blackrock City, that is really not easy.
You know, the storefronts in Blackrock City are not so easy to get. This place is expensive, and many small shops that seem to be inconspicuous have the support of big forces behind them.
“It’s probably the first time for the guests to come here. Anyone who has been to Blackrock City knows that our place is a little different from other places. Accommodation is not charged by the room, but by the number of people.” Said, “These are the rules set by the city lord, and most of them have to be handed over to the city lord’s mansion.”
Baal was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, “Since I’m here in Blackrock City, of course it’s done according to the rules here.”
“That’s good, 10 gold coins per person, you are 15 people in total, and the total is 150 gold coins.” Half-Catwoman Catwoman smiled.
Baal’s face darkened.
He used to hear from the adventurers of the Orc Empire that the price of daily consumption in Blackrock City is very high, but he really didn’t expect it to be so high. This is simply money grabbing!
“Guest, don’t think that we are a black shop here, and the price is the same when you go to other places.”
There are usually a lot of newcomers like Barr. The owner of the Half-Catman Hotel was not surprised by Barr’s reaction, and smiled slightly, “Also, the big guy behind you lives in an enlarged room and needs to pay five Double the accommodation fee, minus the fraction, and charge you 200 gold coins.”
“You don’t need to take the change, I have change.”
With a dark face, Barr took out 190 gold coins from his bag and put them on the table. He turned and walked towards the backyard. Bart and others behind him also quickly followed.
“Guest, please slow down, I’ll show you the way.”
A cat waiter next to him hurriedly followed.
“Yo, I never imagined that these idiots would be enlightened.” The half-cat beauty smiled and put away the gold coins on the table.
Barr, who hadn’t gone far, stumbled and cursed in a low voice, “You are the stupid cow, your whole family are stupid cows!”
He approached the tauren guard next to Baal with a puzzled look.
“Sir, are you confused? You are like me, and your whole family is tauren.”
However, seeing that his master’s face seemed to be getting worse and worse, the tauren guard quickly closed his mouth.
……
Soon.
After everyone found their room, Barr decided to set off for the West Market to buy purple heart copper and a set of blueprints. Originally, Baal planned to take Bart only, but Lilith and others were very interested in Blackrock City. After thinking about it, Baal brought them all.
The north city of Blackrock City is divided into two cities, east and west. Most of the major transactions are carried out in the east city. The east city is relatively close to the city gate. Caravans from the Orc Empire can trade here and save time.
The West City side is close to the Black Rock Port.
The goods brought by the caravan to Blackrock City will be continuously transported from here to various coastal cities on the Red Coast. Traders and nobles who come from all over the world will also land here first. Therefore, the West Market is densely distributed with large and small shops. Whether it is low-level equipment or top-quality props, you can find them here.
“Look, sir, that elf over there is so beautiful.” Lilith was a little excited.
After going out, Barr hired a few animal carts, and Lilith and Barr were sitting in the front one. As expected of a trading city, there are even extra-large animal carts that can hold Bart. The one pulling the cart is a four-to-five-meter-tall mammoth, which amazes everyone.
The beast car moved very fast. In less than half an hour, everyone arrived at the entrance of the West City. After paying for the car, Barr walked in with a few people.
Every street here is hundreds of meters wide, with large and small storefronts on both sides, and there are people of all races on the street. Nobles with guards behind them can be seen everywhere, and the rest are professionals, and few civilians are seen.
“Oh, lord of the empire.” A tiger guard on the right glanced casually here, then turned around and yawned. The lord of the empire may be considered a figure in other places, but in Blackrock City, there are many such people.
“It’s a tauren.”
The tauren guard next to the tiger man smiled slightly and nodded to Baal, who responded with a smile.
The Tauren family has not been transformed from a tribal nomadic nation to a settled farming nation for a long time. The concept of superiority and inferiority is not as prominent as that of other races. The interior is very united, and the relationship between the same race is relatively harmonious. The northeastern part of the empire is a gathering place for tauren, and tauren can be seen in many places.
“Yo, where is this noble young master from?”
“probably.”
“This is the territory of the orcs, you should pay attention to what you say, don’t cause trouble!”
“I know, who dares to provoke the tauren’s violent temper.”
……
The few human men and women who came in with Baal and the others in front chatted while walking.
“Let’s go.”
Barr greeted and walked forward.
It was the first time I came to Blackrock City, and everyone was in high spirits, wanting to go here and there.
Barr didn’t want to spoil everyone’s interest, so everyone gave some gold coins, so they went and agreed to meet at the entrance of the West City in the afternoon. Although the law and order in Black Rock City is very poor at night, the law and order in the daytime is surprisingly good, and there is no need to worry about safety.
Bart took Bart to the east.
There are some flea markets on the east side of the West Market. There are some scattered merchants who can’t afford the storefront. They set up street stalls there. The things they sell are relatively common and there are many fakes, but sometimes you can find good things. . There were adventurers from the Orc Empire in the past life, and they found purple-quality props here.
It didn’t take long for Barr to find it here.
Compared to the business district in the west, this place is a bit deserted. There are stalls on both sides of the road, and some people dressed as mercenaries are bargaining with the stall owners.
In fact, those with some status and status rarely come here, that is, those who are new to the scene will come to see what is new, and most of the people who usually come are mercenaries and ordinary professionals. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
The head of the blood alliance mercenary regiment, Nordessa, was lying on a chair by the booth with his legs crossed.
“Uncle, your price is too expensive.” A cat boy stared at a skill book on the left side of the booth, “The market price of a healing skill book is only 10 gold coins. The effect is 10% better, so it’s not worth 100 gold coins, can it be cheaper?”
The cat girl standing next to the boy also looked helpless at this time.
Her brother and the stall owner have been bargaining for almost an hour. The tiger man in front of him insisted on 100 gold coins, but this time she and her brother came out with only 50 gold coins.
“Who is it called Uncle? Do you think I look like an uncle? Believe it or not, I will beat you.” Nordessa sat upright and tilted his head, “You people here in Blackrock City are just unhappy, what a trading city. When I was in Rage City, I bought a skill book on defense and offense for 2,000 gold coins. People bought it without saying a word, stupid like this… No, you don’t have people like this here.”
“Big brother? If you sell me for 50 gold coins, will I call you uncle?” The cat boy said with a smile.
“Forget it, Yett, let’s wait until next time to buy it.”
The cat girl next to her blushed. However, the cat boy still seemed unwilling, staring at the intensive treatment skill book in front of him, as if he would never give up until his goal was achieved.
……
“The City of Rage, 2,000 gold coins, is based on the skill book of defending and attacking.”
Barr, who was walking not far to the north, felt more familiar the more he heard it. Isn’t that what he said? Looking at the tiger man beside the booth, Barr pouted, “This profiteer.”
