Edge of the Apocalypse

Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters on Edge of Doom!When I came to Suhl City, it started to rain.The rain is not heavy, thin and dense, and the rain powder falls, blurring the outline of things.So Suer City became mottled dark and light gray blocks in Allen's eyes.From a distance, one could see the guard wall of the city. From Allen's point of view, the height of the guard wall was seriously insufficient.Even an ordinary soldier can touch the wall with a single jump, not to mention a soldier like Allen who can jump up to six or seven meters in full strength.

Want to come to Sur City is rarely attacked, otherwise the Baron of York would have raised the guard wall.

There are a few defensive tools on the wall, which look like heavy crossbow weapons.Very primitive and limited in power, the function of decoration is far greater than the actual use.

There are several guard towers in the city of Suer, but the soldiers cannot be seen in the stone towers. The slack defense of the city surprised Allen.The buildings in the city are low and low. Except for the bell tower, church and a few buildings of the city lord’s mansion, the houses, workshops and shops are mostly bungalows.In the mist and rain, only the sharp outlines of a few towers were vaguely seen.

After paying a silver coin, Allen and the others were able to enter the city.

Entering the city gate, it is a square.The square was paved with sand and was washed by rain and turned into a muddy ground.In the muddy square, an army of hundreds of people just dissolved.Judging from the weapons in their hands, this army has about twenty firemen/gunners, and the others are infantry.The officer scolded them loudly, and looked at Allen casually.

Allen responded with a bright smile.

The officer was stunned, and then came back to his senses that Allen and the others had already entered the city.

It is more appropriate to say that it is the urban area than it is some messy roadways.The narrow winding lanes are lined with dilapidated and black bungalows on both sides. As it is approaching the evening, the chimneys of every household are emitting ash, and as the ash rises, the choking smell of charcoal wafts in the air.

In the corridors outside some houses, two or three children in linen and ge trousers looked at Ellen and them curiously.There were even a few bold children ran forward, spreading their hands and yelling "Tang Tang".At this time, Jim would use the only hand he could move to drive the children away like flies, even lighting a ball of flame at his fingertips.

The sudden flame made the children scream and run away, but they looked at them more curiously.

The rain seems to be increasing.

"Let's rest here and eat something, and then I will call Sean that fat pig. Oh, he is the largest cotton spinning merchant in Suhl City. Of the ten workshops in the city, five or six are his. "

Pushing open the wooden door of a bar, Jim bowed.There are not many people in the bar. After all, it is not the time to drink and find pleasure. There are meals here during meal times. Jim is very familiar with it.After entering the door, he shouted at the bar: "Old Rock, bring us five dinners."

Asked Ellen again: "Master, do you drink? Their ale is not bad."

"Taste it," Allen said succinctly.

He found a corner with Willick and others to sit down. There were five of them, and they were all raw faces except Jim.Some guests in the bar cast all kinds of gazes, but when they came into contact with Willik’s mighty fury beast armbands and the short blade that Belmode was playing with, they looked back wittily.

As long as it is a normal person, you know that it is not a good thing to provoke adventurers.These people are not gentlemen, they can fight for women, or they can violently kill for a bad look.Although they didn't know that Ellen was not an adventurer.

Allen swept across the bar.

The bar is a typical civil structure, the walls are made of stone and bricks, but the supporting frame of the building uses wood.The lampstand hanging from above is full of candles. They are the main lighting of the bar. However, there are two electric lights near the bar. Obviously, the planet has started to use electricity, but everything is in the initial stage.

At this time, the guests gradually talked about an attack last night. From their words, Allen heard that it was Baku and others.Allen gave Jim a wink, and the magician left knowingly, and generously invited the men who talked the most to drink a bottle of ale.

Before the dinner was delivered, a few women dressed up as demon and exposed, but ordinary-looking women walked into the bar.They seemed to be regulars here, and chose a table close to Allen and others to sit down.Two of them took out a thin and long pipe from Lianfen's handbag, filled it with some shredded tobacco, and smoked it.A woman in a black dress winked at Allen and made a suggestive gesture.

At this time Jim came back and said, "Those people are being held in jail. I heard that they will be sent to the mine to work as coolies for a few days. I probably won't be able to come back."

He glanced at the women again, swallowed his saliva and said, "These are the prostitutes/women in the city of Su, and they can provide you with satisfactory service for just one silver coin."

But Ellen and the others were not interested, Jim only shrugged and remained silent.

Soon the food came up. Looking at the bread, the soup and the steak small enough to swallow in one bite, Willick complained, "Is there no better one?"

"Yes, but you have to go to the City Lord's Mansion." The waiter said humorously.

Jim said: "The people in the city have not had an easy life in the past two years. The Baron York has raised taxes, and ordinary people can barely survive by tightening their belts."

"It seems that this baron has the vice of accumulating money." Edward smiled.

"I heard that the baron's small warehouse was filled with gold coins." Jim whispered.

Allen coughed slightly and said, "Eat."

After dinner, Jim left the bar.Half an hour later, he came back with a fat man. The fat man wore a gold chain thick with a little finger around his neck. The necklace was rough in workmanship, but it was heavy.If the chain is pure gold, then its value is enough to make people in the bar jealous.

The fat man sat down across from Ellen and slapped his palm on the table and said, "Which one of you is the boss, if it weren't for this shit, don't think I would come out of home on a rainy day. Since I'm going to talk about business, let's talk now." , I don’t like wordy."

Jim smiled and introduced: "This is Mr. Sean. If the young master wants to do business, it is only right to cooperate with him."

Sean took out a piece of clothing from his pocket. It was a cloth sample that Jim brought.In fact, it was the corners cut from Ellen and their original clothes, but it was this thing that caught Sean's interest.The fat man squeezed this piece of fabric and said, "Tell me, how did you produce such a density textile."

Allen leaned forward and smiled and said, "This is the worsted spinning technology developed by our family. Does Mr. Xiao En think there is a market?"

"If it is unprofitable, do you think I will sit here? Then, you are the boss that this guy said?"

"My name is Ellen."

"You are so young."

Allen nodded and said, "Yes, because I am young, I dare to take risks, otherwise I would not sit here."

"Very good, I want this technology. I don't know Master Ellen, how do you plan to work with me?" Sean said simply.

"It's very simple. I provide the technology and produce the necessary machines. Of course, because we have come from a long distance, it is impossible to bring the machines with us. We only have technicians, so we need to buy textile machines and even make parts for assembly by ourselves."

Sean said: "These are not problems. There is no smelter in Suhl City, but I know some good craftsmen. As long as you have a design, they can make it."

"Then the workers and the venue are of course also provided by Mr. Sean, and we will make a profit after that, and we will get five to five points." Allen spread his palm and shook it.

Xiao En laughed: "That's not okay, young master. You see, the workers' premises are all up to me, and the parts needed by your machines also fall on my head, but I only accounted for 50% of the final profit. This It's a bit too little."

"Well, you six and four."

"No, I can only divide you 30%!"

Allen laughed and said to Jim: "There should be other workshops in Suhl that are willing to cooperate?"

Jim nodded and said, "Of course, Master."

Xiao En said solemnly: "But none of them is bigger than me."

"Then let them unite." Allen said lightly: "There is a saying in our place. As long as there is a double profit, no merchant will refuse such a sale. If there is a triple profit, all merchants are willing to work hard for it. . And the technology I provide is enough to make your textiles enter the upper class society and be admired by the noble ladies. The profit is more than three times. Mr. Xiao En can’t do it. I think some people are willing to cooperate with me. "

Sean squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Alan.His gaze shifted to Willick again, Edward lowered his head and didn't know what to think, and Willick moved his arm armor. The short knife in Belmod's hand would disappear for a moment, and then reappear like a trick.Shaun saw this in his eyes, and finally returned to Ellen and laughed: "The deal, Master Ellen, you friend, I have settled it. But for the cooperation to proceed smoothly, I still need more fabric samples and even ready-made clothes. Because To integrate the workshop and requisition the site, both must be approved by Lord Baron, and I need to show enough things to impress him."

"This is no problem, we will bring a ready-made garment next time we come."

"That's really looking forward to it."

Sean called for ale and filled Allen with a few people: "I wish we can cooperate smoothly."

After drinking a few drinks with him, Allen said without a trace: "Mr. Sean, there is one more small matter to trouble you."

"what's up?"

"We had a few coolie slaves when we came, but they ran away two days ago. They are likely to come to Sul City, I wonder if you can take care of it. As a master, I need to punish them severely in order to give A warning from the other slaves." As Allen described the appearance of Baku.

Baku's bruises were very obvious, and Sean said as soon as he heard: "So it was them."

Allen made an unexpected appearance: "Mr. Sean has seen them."

Xiao En nodded: "The few of your slaves broke in without permission, gave the city defense team a lesson and threw them in jail. I heard that they would be taken to the mine to be coolies."

"That's not good," Allen said.

(I’m sorry that I missed it when I dragged the manuscript.)
