Poor. This word ran through William's entire life.
Even though William had been in Border Town before, he did not know if there was a gold mine here. After all, he was a player. It was fine for him to pay attention to some rare mineral veins.
What's the use of paying attention?
If he could rob or dig, he would not have the chance…
However, there was a possibility that a gold mine existed, because the super mineral vein in the Blackleaf Forest was not just for show.
As long as a gold mine was discovered and completely mastered, one could then smelt gold and produce gold coins. As long as the gold content reached 90%, it would be universal across the Legendary continent.
It had to be said that Border Town was lucky.
The 80-meter-tall natural barrier was the key to preventing the invasion of other human nations. If they wanted to climb up from below, they could only do so through some winding and steep cliff paths. If a small-scale army wanted to climb up from here, it was no different from sending their heads thousands of miles away.
However, climbing up the mountain was difficult, and going down the mountain was also exhausting. Other than using ziplines, manual ladders, and mountain roads, they could only rely on the leap of faith...
After all, the Rainbow River Fall had been formed for a long time.
The waterfall formed by its fall had a great impact. The pool below was extremely deep, but it was not wide enough. There were solid rocks beside it.
As long as he had the guts.
He could easily descend the mountain with a leap of faith…
As for whether he was dead or alive, it all depended on the posture. In any case, William had jumped many times before, but he did not die.
However, it was also because of the cliff that Border Town did not have much trade with the human dukedoms. Other than the monthly trade organized by the government, they could only rely on traveling caravans.
However, the wandering merchants were also people who only cared about profits. They would look for benefits at the edge of the human countries and would also venture into the forests and grasslands.
Most importantly, they were not only merchants, but they would also play the role of robbers from time to time.
……………………
Curry was the captain of a merchant group. As a Level-41 Warrior who had just entered the Intermediate Level, he led more than 30 members and climbed the winding and steep path. At the cost of losing a horse, they finally arrived at Border Town.
He came to Kulit, which was located at the top of the cliff, and looked at the plains in the north. His mind was wide open, and he wanted to write a lewd poem. Unfortunately, he smacked his lips and did not say one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
"Boss, I heard that a group of elves came to Border Town. They should be very rich, right?”As soon as he finished speaking, the man who spoke even smiled wretchedly.
"Since you know that they are elves, what else do you have in mind? Even if they aren't elves, you should have heard of the treatment that merchants received when they came to Border Town, right?”Curry pursed his lips. The wretched man beside him also sighed when he heard that.
If these guys were businessmen and robbers, they would have been able to escape.
Border Town was a gathering place for high-level criminals!
Except for the few civilians who did not commit crimes…
That's right, people who didn't commit crimes often could be called good citizens in Border Town…
The other civilians were all fierce professionals…
Back then, many merchant groups had risked their lives to come here to do business. There was nothing much to do in the town. After all, there was a powerful mayor who could suppress all riots.
However, wasn't it a little too much to be robbed after leaving the town?
Many of the caravans who dared to resist and did not want to hand over their goods and money had their graves covered with grass that was more than three meters tall…
Of course.
All of this had something to do with the early days of the town's establishment. The local civilians had been scammed by the merchants, which also led to fewer and fewer merchants coming to Border Town.
Curry had dared to come here because he had heard that Border Town had a new elf mayor and a large number of pure-blooded elves had followed him here.
" The pure-blooded elves of Blackleaf Forest. With them suppressing the town, the security problem should be greatly improved. We're mainly trying to build a good relationship this time. We can't ask for too much. If we can form a fixed trade, we'll definitely make a lot of money.
All of you follow behind me. Don't look around or speak carelessly. Otherwise, no one can save your lives.”Kulit said a few words to the brothers behind him before leading the team to the town.
William stood on the treetops and looked at the caravan. When they were climbing the mountain, scouts had already discovered them. After all, he had already arranged for people to monitor all the mountain roads that could be climbed.
"Should we let Odom and the others hide?”Lautner said.
"We're a neutral town. What does the Dwarves have to do with us?”William shook his head and turned to Nox.""Just don't let them enter the town. Bring them to me!”
"Yes, my lord!"
……………………
Curry glanced at the group of elven warriors who had stopped them and could not help but gulp. Not to mention anything else, for someone like him who had rarely seen elves, this was really an eye-opener.
First of all, the weapons and equipment of the elves in front of him were very good. They looked really handsome…
It looked good…
He wanted to…
Of course, these were all thoughts in his heart.
Curry and the others did not dare to show it, so they could only secretly spy on these elves.
Curry didn't dare to underestimate the strength of the elves. Just this elf guard named Nox alone was enough to make him feel that he didn't have absolute confidence in defeating him.
As for the other ten handsome elves, their eyes were also shining with confidence. Curry even felt that these elves before him could wipe out his caravan.
However, all the tension disappeared with the arrival of a young man.
William was wearing a purple robe. His long black hair fell over his shoulders, and his pointy ears were exposed. His eyes were as bright as the moon. He did not have any accessories on him, but he gave off a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze. His favorability increased exponentially…
"Hello, I am the Lord of Border Town, William Blackleaf!”William held a little bear in his arms. He did not speak politely. He did not care about the favorability of these ordinary merchants…
However, Curry and the others did not dare to pretend. When they heard William's greeting, they patted their chests with their right hands and leaned forward slightly."Greetings, my lord. May my lord live forever!”
"May God be with you!" William smiled.
Curry didn't care about William's response. When he heard William's name, his brain was about to crash.
In addition to the many elven guards he had just seen, he quickly organized his words and said respectfully,"My lord, my name is Kulit, a merchant from the Black Lava Dukedom. My surname is too low, so I won't say it out loud.
I came here to do some business with Border Town. For example, salt, cloth, sauces, and even some rare materials. I would even do my best to buy whatever Milord wanted in the future.”
When the other members of the merchant group heard this, they could not help but glance at the captain, as if they were wondering if the captain was gay.
Did he have to lick her like this?
Didn't he know that bootlickers would end up with nothing?
William remained calm. He had been observing Curry's favorability towards him. He was even a little puzzled. He had not done anything, but Curry's favorability towards him had increased to 500 points. What the hell was he doing?
Why did it feel like he had encountered a pervert…
But William thought about Curry's respectful expression.
He seemed to have understood that this fellow must have found out from somewhere what his surname represented…
