Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

"Take a look! There are fresh and dried mushrooms, including black golden matsutake, porcini mushrooms, chicken fir mushrooms, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and red blood mushrooms!"

"The best Dutra honey only costs two silver coins per jar!"

"Roasted cloud rat meat, plump roasted cloud rat meat, only three copper coins per skewer! Five coins for two skewers!"

Hongye Town is located on the outskirts of Yongye Forest. Because there are a large number of red maple forests growing nearby in Yongye Forest, which are relatively rare in other places, it is named Hongye Town.

Since Hongye Town is close to a water source and the waterway leads to the Kense River, it can also be regarded as a small transportation hub outside the Evernight Forest.

The mountain products produced in the Evernight Forest will be brought here by hunters or traveling merchants to be traded and sold. In addition to buying mountain products, outside merchants will also sell coarse salt, wheat flour, ironware, medicines, clothing and other daily necessities.

The Hongye Baron who was sealed here made a lot of money just by collecting business taxes.

There is not much farmland near Hongye Town. Baron Hongye hopes that the farmland in the territory can meet his own food needs as much as possible while freeing more laborers from the limited farmland to enter the Evernight Forest to find mountain goods.

"Huh? These plants are kind of interesting."

"My father-in-law, how can I sell these orchids?"

Li Wei was dressed in military uniform, he was young, but he was followed by several powerful extraordinary beings who looked very untouchable. This combination was the standard for aristocratic children to travel.

The old flower seller had lived decades older, so he naturally guessed Li Wei's noble status, and quickly knelt down and replied:

"This gentleman has good eyesight. These are seven mature orchids. At least in our market in Hongye Town, this extraordinary plant is already considered a top-notch product.

In order to pick these green orchids, our whole herb collection team wandered around the Evernight Forest for seven days and seven nights. We were also attacked by monsters. Everyone was scattered. My old lady almost thought that I would never come back. Already

If you sincerely want it, just give me fifty silver coins for a green orchid. "

Levi pursed his lips and said nothing.

The old man selling flowers was anxious, thinking that the other party disliked him for asking too high a price, which made the young man dissatisfied. But fifty silver coins is already the lowest price for the old man.

There may be risks lurking everywhere in the Evernight Forest. Although many things are valuable, hunters and herb collectors who walk in the mountains may never return every time they enter the mountains.

"Master, the price I'm asking is really not expensive. This green orchid is really worth-"

Levi threw fourteen gold coins, and the old man running a street stall immediately shut his mouth.

Li Wei was not dissatisfied with the other party's price just now. On the contrary, he was surprised that the price of this green orchid was far lower than the price in other places such as Snow Dragon Fortress.

"I'll give you two gold coins for every green orchid that meets the criteria. If you can find more green orchids, come to the hunter's house in town to find me before noon tomorrow."

"Thank you for your generous and kind master!"

The old man who set up the street stall happily put away fourteen shiny gold coins and wanted to sell his other products to Levi. Li Wei took a cursory glance and saw that they were all of low quality and not large in quantity, so he asked one of the accompanying knights to leave with the Emerald Ink Orchid.

"The Baron is so generous. He directly paid a 20% premium to the old common man to buy it. I just saw him laughing out of his eyes."

"Haha, speaking of it, I took a big advantage. This green orchid would cost at least ten or twenty gold coins if placed in the Snow Dragon Fortress, which is equivalent to half a year's salary for you guys.

I bought one plant for two gold coins and made a lot of money. Unfortunately, the quantity was too small. "

After Li Wei brought his troops to the outskirts of Hongye Town, he was not in a hurry to lead them into this small market town with a population of only a few thousand, so as not to cause unnecessary chaos.

Since Baron Hongye of Hongye Town left with his private army to fight the orcs, there was only an old steward and the baroness left in Hongye Town to take charge of daily affairs.

So Levi simply asked Siegfried, Bellam and others to contact the officials of Hongye Town, while he took a few elite private troops of the Monterey family out to hang out.

In the next half hour or so, Li Wei bought several rare things that were rarely seen on Taobao. He also treated several accompanying private knights to a meal of grilled fish, barbecue, honeydew, There are several local specialties such as nut-cut cakes.

Perhaps because it is located on the edge of the Evernight Forest and communication is not convenient, the place has not yet received the relocation and evacuation order from Marquis Ashan. Therefore, Hongye Town was still immersed in the relaxed and joyful atmosphere of spring, and the residents had no idea that the orcs were about to attack.

[Unfortunately, I don’t know how many more days this peaceful situation can last. 】Li Wei sighed quietly in his heart.

From the time he traveled to the present, it had been a long time since Levi had a leisurely stroll. This hour made Levi feel like he had returned to his previous life, traveling to ancient towns in the mountains, buying specialties, and tasting special delicacies.

Li Wei was having a great time, but the few accompanying knights were very nervous. They surrounded Li Wei step by step, guarding against possible attacks from any direction.

Although it is reasonable to say that such a small town with a few thousand people only has a few fourth-level masters. Even because the Red Leaf Baron here led troops to join the war, there may not even be a fourth-level master in the territory.

Therefore, in terms of security, a few third-level mid-to-high-level Monterey private troops are enough to ensure Levi's safety.

"Huh? It seems that the hunter's house is ahead. The old lady pointed out the right way. Let's go, we won't go shopping anymore, let's get down to business first."

Several accompanying knights were relieved. Before, Levi was shopping in a crowded street. They were very afraid that a knife would stick out from the crowd and stab their baron.

Pushing open an old wooden door, Levi thought for the first moment that he had arrived at a dirty and old tavern.

The noisy crowd, the strong smell of alcohol, the dark bar, and the various bottles and jars in the wine cabinet.

The sudden intrusion of Levi and his group was incompatible with the atmosphere in the hall, so the entire hall suddenly became quiet.

"Hey, that young aristocratic boy, what are you doing here? You want to try, sir, the guy under me is big enough - um -"

A middle-aged hunter who was obviously drunk had his mouth covered by his still sober companion. The bartender at the bar immediately got out of the bar and said with a smile: "Sir, that guy just now was drunk. , your mouth is not clean, please forgive me."

Li Wei's appearance of traveling as a noble son naturally made everyone in the Hunter's House very jealous. In the Kingdom of Fontaine, nobles are not the common people who can touch porcelain casually.

In the situation just now, if Li Wei were a noble, he could have executed the hunter who made a drunken blunder after obtaining the consent of the local lord.

The crime was naturally to humiliate the nobles as a commoner.
