Chapter 76: Casar city (1)
Translator: 549690339
There was one more chapter after midnight.
Although these things seemed to be a lot, very few of them could be turned into money immediately. Although corn and oil fruits had the highest output, they couldn’t be turned into money immediately. No one wanted corn; however, no one would want oil fruits until they became oil.
Eggplants and cabbages were all vegetables. When Zhao Hai first started to grow them, he only wanted to improve his life so that he could have two more vegetables in his boundless space. He was afraid that no one would buy these two things on the mainland now, and they couldn’t be turned into money.
Not to mention the wheat. Not only was the yield low, but it also needed to be processed to be eaten on the mainland. It would not cost much to buy wheat.
Right now, he could only command the radish and hope that it could be sold for a good price. Zhao Hai only had 600 gold coins left in the origin space. That was why he did not plant the radishes. If he did, he would have to spend all his money on seeds.
Zhao Hai planned to plant the cauliflower after the corn was harvested the next day. Although the seeds of the cauliflower were only enough to grow two mu of land, he had to plant two mu of land of cauliflower and two mu of land of wheat. After all, he had 3000 Jin of wheat in his warehouse, which could be used as seeds.
Zhao Hai didn’t want to use the realm to plant wheat. Wheat can only be made into flour, and the price of flour on the mainland isn’t very high. Zhao Hai could plant something more expensive in the realm and then buy flour. It would be more cost-effective.
However, Zhao Hai had a habit. If he wanted to plant corn, he would plant corn on all four mu of land. Therefore, he would rather plant wheat on the remaining two mu of land after planting cabbages than corn.
There were still too few things he could plant. On the way, Zhao Hai didn’t collect other plant seeds because there were people watching them along the way. If he collected those seeds, people would find it strange. So, Zhao Hai didn’t do anything rash.
Zhao Hai had already made up his mind. If he wanted to collect seeds, he couldn’t do it on his own. No matter how powerful he was, how many seeds could he collect? It was not worth it to be discovered. He was going to buy some of the seeds that he could buy at the moment after he got the money. Then, he would post a mission in the tavern and ask the mercenaries and adventurers to find them for him.
In this world, as long as you had money, you could let those mercenaries and adventurers do anything you wanted. You could post any mission you wanted, even if you posted a mission to assassinate the king in the Arkas Empire. As long as you could afford it, someone would dare to take it. Of course, whether it would work or not was another matter.
Zhao Hai sat in the hot spring and kept thinking about these things. He was not weak now, but he had too little money to use. His enemies were too strong, so he decided to keep a low profile.
Suddenly, he felt a slight dizziness. Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and stood up. He was really dissatisfied with his current physical condition. He had only been in the hot spring for a while, and he was already feeling dizzy. This body was too F * cked up.
He stood up, picked up the towel beside him, and dried his body. He put it on and went to sleep. He walked to the bed, picked up the Keya pot from the bedside, and poured himself a cup of Keya. He sat on the bed and quietly took a sip.
Zhao Hai felt his body go soft. He knew that it was because he had been in the hot spring for too long, but he was too lazy to move. He had been under too much pressure recently, both outside and inside. He felt like he was living under pressure all the time.
Now that he was in the hot spring, he suddenly felt disheartened. He didn’t want to think about anything, and he didn’t think about anything. He just wanted to lie there quietly.
Usually, he would fall asleep in no time, but today was an exception. He just lay there quietly, not thinking about anything, but he didn’t feel sleepy at all.
He didn’t know how long he had been in this state, but Zhao Hai suddenly woke up. Although he hadn’t fallen asleep, he really felt like he was awake.
Zhao Hai shook his head lightly, trying to get rid of the gloomy thoughts in his head. He didn’t have time to be sad now. He had too many things to do.
After calming himself down, Zhao Hai decided to have a good night’s sleep. They were going to Casar city the next day. He really wanted to see what this city, known as the Pearl of the North of the Arkas Empire, looked like.
This was Zhao Hai’s first time going to a big city after he woke up. He was really looking forward to it. Although Adam had always lived in the capital of the Arkas Empire, the largest and most prosperous city in the Arkas Empire, and Zhao Hai had completely taken over Adam’s memories, those memories had only appeared in his mind like they were in a movie. They did not feel real. He was really looking forward to going to Casas city this time.
The night was quiet, and the slaves felt that they had a good sleep. Although the environment in the space was better than the outside, there was no wind and the temperature was stable, the feeling of sleeping in the open air still made them feel uneasy.
The next morning, everyone was in high spirits. Most of the rooms had hot springs, so the slaves had a good bath and slept soundly.
However, after breakfast, the slaves went back into the medium to learn how to read. Zhao Hai and the others, on the other hand, carried the Xenomorphs and headed straight to Casar city.
The journey from Rocky Mountain to Casar city would take at least two days if they took a horse carriage. However, Zhao Hai and the others were not riding a horse carriage. Instead, they were riding an alien. The alien’s speed was not any slower than a galloping horse. Ever since Zhao Hai leveled up, his speed seemed to have gotten even faster.
Horses would get tired from running, but the alien wouldn’t. It would keep moving at the same speed, so they would be able to move faster.
It only took them a little more than half a day to reach the city. This was the first time Zhao Hai had observed the city from such a close distance. The city was surrounded by a few mountains. In order to match the terrain of the mountains, the city walls were round, not square, like those of traditional cities.
There were a total of six groups and 18 city gates. The city walls were nearly 30 meters tall and six meters thick. It was extremely majestic. The banner of the Versailles family was hung on the city walls, and troops of soldiers would occasionally pass by. The battlements were half the height of a man, but they could not hide the heroic bearing of these soldiers. Their silver-white armor and weapons that shone with a cold light showed that they were extraordinary.
Zhao Hai stood at the bottom of the city wall, looking at the soldiers standing straight at the entrance and the majestic city wall. He couldn’t help but be amazed. Although China on earth had many ancient city walls, Zhao Hai had never been there. The oil City he was in was a new city, and it was impossible for it to have walls.
Moreover, even the ancient cities that had walls were only decorations. You couldn’t expect the walls to be able to withstand a missile attack. If you did, the walls would naturally lose their grandeur.
However, the city walls here were really meant to defend against enemies. Standing at the foot of the city walls, Zhao Hai was amazed by the magnificent iron-like atmosphere.
Zhao Hai had already kept the Xenomorphs away. This was the rule of most cities, especially a big city like Casas. The high alert area was about 500 meters away from the city walls. If you had no ill intentions towards the city, it was best to keep your summoned beasts away. Otherwise, the guards would think you had ill intentions towards the city and might attack you.
Although Zhao Hai didn’t know about this, green and the rest knew. Thus, when they were about 500 meters away from Casar city, he had Zhao Hai keep the alien. Although they wanted to attract everyone’s attention, it didn’t mean that they wanted to cause trouble. As long as they kept a high profile, there was no need to cause trouble. If they really fought, they might expose their own secrets. They had a lot of secrets.
Grimm couldn’t understand why Zhao Hai had stopped at the city wall. Although the black magician’s robe’s big hat blocked Zhao Hai’s movements, Grimm could still clearly feel that Zhao Hai was sizing up the city wall. Such an action would easily arouse the suspicion of the guards. If the guards didn’t see that he was a magician, they would have come to question him.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai regained his senses after observing for a while. He followed green and meg into the city. Merlin did not follow them out. Zhao Hai did not want others to know too much about his power.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and walked toward the city gate. He found two large boxes at the city gate. The word ” tax ” was written on them. It seemed like they were boxes specially used to collect taxes. Therefore, people who entered and exited the city gate had to put money into the boxes before they could enter. Otherwise, they would be stopped.
However, Zhao Hai did not invest his money because he remembered green and the others telling him that a mage like him did not need to invest because the country had regulations that mages were tax-free.
Of course, it didn’t mean that wearing a magic robe would be tax-free. You had to register at the mage Guild and get a mage badge before you could be tax-free. Without a mage badge, you couldn’t be exempted.
However, Zhao Hai was an exception. Although he didn’t have a magician’s badge, he had come on an alien. The alien had already proven his identity as a magician. If the guards still dared to stop him, they would be too blind.
There were many Black Mages on the mainland, but they would not register at the mage Guild. However, no one dared to dress up as a Black Mage except in the Montenegro fortress, so no one stopped people wearing black Mage robes in ordinary cities, even if they did not have a badge.
Grimm had warned Zhao Hai about this because he was afraid that Zhao Hai did not know what a black magician was like. If Zhao Hai was too gentle, he would not be a black magician and would instead arouse suspicion.
