The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 18 Firefox Chamber of Commerce

Walking on the street, Sunan was surprised to find that there were obviously a lot more people in the city and it was much busier than before.

Many of them wore leather armor and carried weapons with them, looking fierce.

Noticing Sunan's scrutinizing gaze, Keyi smiled and explained: "After the Blackstone Mining Area was reopened, many caravans rushed over after hearing the news. Many of these people were caravan members and accompanying mercenaries."

Sunan suddenly realized.

The prosperity of a city often begins with the prosperity of business.

As long as the Blackstone Mining Area continues to be developed, Blackstone City will become one of the top cities in Jinyan Province within a few years.

While walking, Sunan saw a simple shed area built with wooden sheds.

More than ten people are busy inside, some cooking porridge and some serving porridge.

A group of ragged people with sallow faces and skinny faces lined up in front of the shed, their eyes fixed on the porridge shed, their throats kept squirming, and their faces looked impatient.

However, under the implicit warning gazes of the surrounding soldiers, they could only wait in line obediently.

"Who are those people?" Sunan looked at Keyi.

"They are refugees from the Jinghua Principality in the west. There is a war there, and many civilians have been displaced. I sent people to respond and prepare to absorb these people into the city."

Sunan was thoughtful when he heard the words.

In addition to income, population is also a very important factor for the prosperity of a city.

Black Rock City is located on the border and has a small population. Even the army only has a little over 500 people.

This is a congenital deficiency.

If this problem is not solved, Black Rock City will never be able to grow, and the cavalry regiment will never be able to be formed.

Absorbing refugees is undoubtedly an excellent solution to the problem.

In particular, most of the refugees who can survive the long journey are young men and women with good physical fitness.

After joining the territory, you can immediately become a labor force after a few days of rest.

Young adults can directly join the army to strengthen the military power of Black Rock City.

"Before winter comes this year, I plan to take the initiative and attack the Black Scale Lizard Tribe in the Red Horn Wilderness."

Key continued with bright eyes.

"By moving the battlefield to the Red Horn Wilderness, Black Rock City will be less exposed to war."

Su Nan nodded in understanding.

Although Key didn't say it, both of them knew the more important reason.

With more blood of black-scaled lizards, Black Rock City can cultivate more knights.

The two then talked about the recent events in Jinyan Province.

When he heard that Earl Storm was seriously injured and unconscious in the attack, Sunan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Earl Storm himself is a great knight and a powerful lord, so he must be closely guarded around him.

In this case, the assassin was able to severely damage Earl Storm.

What is the origin of the Spark Sect?

Seeing Sunan's confusion, Keyi explained: "The Spark Sect is a mysterious sect that appeared more than ten years ago. It has developed very fast. In just three or four years, it has grown into a sect with power all over the principality. They act very secretly. The purpose of the sect is unknown, and it is said that it has secretly colluded with many nobles, but it does not seldom assassinate nobles, which is very strange. "

The more Sunan listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

Isn't there a wizard (apprentice) behind this development trajectory of Spark Cult?

Sunan recalled it, but he didn't have much impression of the Spark Cult in his memory.

After all, when I came into contact with the game in my previous life, it was already version 2.0.

Version 1.0, unless it was something very important related to wizards, he basically didn't understand.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden noise from the front.

However, the two of them turned the corner and arrived near the pub.

The door of the tavern was open, and there was a lot of noise and excitement inside. It seemed that many people were shouting loudly.

When I walked in, I realized that someone was having a drink. Two burly men sat on both sides of the round table, pouring wine into their mouths as hard as they could.

While pouring back the favor, he cast a provocative look at his opponent.

Surrounded by more than a dozen tall and strong men, they cheered cheerfully and cheered loudly from time to time.

Sunan's eyes swept across the crowd and landed on one of the men having a drink.

The man was about 25 or 26 years old, with a rugged appearance and very luxuriant body hair. His exposed arms, open chest and most of his face were covered with hair. His eyes were amber, and they did not look like human eyes, but rather like They are the pupils of a beast.

"Lycanthrope."

Sunan's expression changed and he blurted out subconsciously.

Lycanthropes were originally the product of wizard experiments.

Most of them are bloodthirsty, cruel and extremely aggressive.

Once exposed to some external stimulation, it is easy to lose control of the bloodthirsty instinct, transform into a beast and attack all living creatures in sight like a madman.

In ancient times, the earliest lycanthropes once caused a "disaster of lycanthropy", causing a large number of casualties, and were not suppressed until later by wizards.

However, after many years of reproduction and bloodline weakening, the later lycanthropes have become much better and can basically control their own lycanthropic abilities.

Lycanthropes cannot practice breathing techniques, but their physiques are far superior to ordinary people.

Adult lycanthropes have the power of an apprentice knight.

Some lycanthropes with beast blood flowing through their bodies can even become as powerful as knights after hard training.

However, compared with their strong physiques, the lifespan and reproductive capacity of lycanthropes are much worse than those of normal humans.

Today, there are very few traces of lycanthropes on the mainland.

Even if there are, most of them live within the Cangjin Empire.

Sunan didn't expect to see a descendant of a lycanthrope here.

"Very few people can see Otta's origins at a glance. Your Excellency is really well-informed."

Suddenly a voice came from my ears.

Su Nan turned around and saw a tall man about forty years old walking towards him with a smile on his face.

He was also wearing a red fox fur coat that looked very expensive.

"Lord, long time no see."

When he came closer, the man saluted Keyi first, and then looked at Sunan.

"I don't know what to call you?"

"Sunan."

Su Nan nodded slightly towards the other party, he had already guessed the other party's identity.

"This is my younger brother." Key introduced, and then introduced the man's identity to Sunan, "This is Mudro Ismail, the boss of the Firefox Chamber of Commerce."

"Your Excellency Sunan, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Mu Zhuo shook hands with Sunan with a smile on his face, but he was secretly confused in his heart.

According to the information gathered, the second young master of the Flash family is withdrawn. His favorite thing to do is to lock himself in his room and tinker with strange things. He rarely goes out. Such a person should not know much. Logically speaking, he should not know much. Maybe Ota's identity as a lycanthrope can be recognized at a glance.

Moreover, the intelligence also said that Sunan did not have the qualifications to be a knight, had not yet learned the breathing method, and was physically weaker than ordinary people.

But looking at the Sunan in front of her, she was tall and straight, her eyes were bright, and she was full of energy. How could she look at all weak and weak?

What do the people responsible for gathering intelligence do for a living?

You can't do any small things well!

Mu Zhuo frowned secretly and made up his mind to scold those people when he turned around.

Guys, please vote, thank you!
