Chapter 334 Black Hoof Village

Black Ti Village, I can’t remember its original name anymore.

All I know is that this was once a gathering place for a group of thieves.

They were destroyed by the black hooves of the iron cavalry, and the village they rebuilt on the ruins was called Black Hoof Village.

According to legend, there are still thieves in the Black Hoof Village today, and a small black market has formed. In recent times, precious items have frequently appeared in the small market in Black Hoof Village, attracting more and more outsiders and other forces.

Business started to prosper, but of course there were some bad things, the place became more chaotic.

Aislei Leisi is not the power holder in Blackhoof Village. When the local lord of Blackhoof Village was still around, she once learned how to make herbs from a blind old thief and could simply make some pills to heal injuries.

Later, other experiences allowed Eslei to gain extraordinary powers, and the person who gave her the power controlled the small market. When the other person left because of something, Eslei took control of the small market.

The village lord was unaware of this, and Eslei did not have much contact with the other party.

Later, the lord of that village was summoned to Raven City.

The great nobles sent other people to manage Blackhoof Village.

Her life had not changed much. She still made some pills to heal injuries, opened a small market at fixed times, and so on. However, the small market was becoming more and more lively. Unlike the sporadic underground transactions in the past, it was recently developing into a real market. More and more people came, and it was very crowded.

Aislei is worried that her small market will be exposed to the new managers, but the high profits make her unwilling to give up the small market, so she is in a dilemma.

She picked up the papyrus letter and unfolded it flat on the table.

"Is there anything else?" Aislei asked casually.

But there was no answer, she immediately turned to look at the figure standing at the door.

It was a very tall man in armor.

He needs to lower his head when he enters the door, and ordinary people need to raise their heads as much as possible and then look up in front of him.

But he had no extraordinary powers, and in the eyes of many people, he was just a weak tall man.

Carl who can't speak, a stupid mute.

She gently stroked the ring on her finger, frowned slightly, and then smiled with relief: "I forgot that you can't speak."

Ever since the chief of Blackhoof Village left for Raven City and was "crowned" a noble, there has been no news. Who knows if he is really dead or still alive? It is said that the high and mighty Duke is very aggressive.

There are many rumors and stories about him, but most of them are about him hacking someone to death.

"It's news about Goliath." Esrael glanced down, not hiding her surprise on her face.

Her voice suddenly became sharp. “He really defeated Goliath?”

A new story is about to spread. No one knows how many horrible things are inside the Golden City of Thunder Forbidden Land, but everyone has already accepted the fact that no matter how much effort they put in, they will not be able to reach the foot of the city wall.

The north-south passage was cut off due to the loss of Goliath.

Even Esra thought it was ridiculous when she first heard that the Duke was planning to attack the Golden City, but now... there is a new story to spread, and it is similar to the previous ones, the Duke has killed someone again.

Carl, who was unable to speak, immediately looked up at Eslei upon hearing this, and this reaction was keenly captured by her.

"Why, are you also curious about that war?" Aislei noticed the unusual reaction of the mute warrior. "That man is indeed very powerful. The news said that he successfully entered the royal city, recaptured the palace, and even killed Prince Kurt who had turned into a dragon."

It was hard for her to imagine what that scene was like with her own head.

Words like royal city, dragon king, etc. seem difficult to even imagine and think about with the brain.

No matter how much contempt she had in her heart, Ai Si Lei had to admit that the Lion Duke Lind was a powerful man that she had to look up to. She gently stroked the ring again. Fortunately, such a big man would never notice her, and it was even possible that he would never come to this place in his life.

Aisle knew that Carl admired heroes, but she also knew that Carl was just a silly boy who had his tongue cut off because he was loyal enough.

He admired heroes and had a believer-like fanaticism towards the powerful, as if it were his faith. As the soldiers sent by the Duke were stationed here, Carl heard more and more stories about the Duke.

Like a possessed being, Karl worshipped the Duke.

Of course, Aislei was well aware of this, but it didn't matter.

She spun the ring again.

"Don't those soldiers like you very much? Carl, go and mingle with them," Aislei specifically instructed, "I want to get more information from them, including what weapons appeared in that war and what their characteristics are. We will find the right buyers."

In the doomsday world, resources are scarce.

However, there has never been a direct relationship between the total amount of resources and the total population. Even if the total amount of resources can sustain the survival of twice or more people, some people will still starve to death.

Similarly, even if the total amount of resources is not enough to support one-tenth of the world's population today, there are still people who can live like aristocrats.

It is normal for a small number of people to control most of the resources.

Just like now many people spontaneously rush to the small market, some people want to buy some new aristocratic luxury goods of the new era. The beautiful rubbish that cannot fill the stomach is still expensive, and even has a very high collection value in the hands of many lords.

The lord who was unwilling to give the residents of his territory an extra piece of black bread was willing to spend the rations of hundreds of people to buy a beautiful little gadget.

This is the norm.

In addition, there are various precious props and potions that accidentally flowed out from the Duke. Whenever similar things appear, they will be snatched up.

A terrifying alchemical weapon called "alchemical bomb" appeared many times on the papyrus. It is said that this powerful weapon can even blow cracks in Goliath's walls.

Eslei was very interested in this, she knew that this was definitely a new weapon that would sell well.

"Remember!" she warned again, "Hang with them, they trust you, and go and hear more news."

Until now, the existence of the small market has not been known to the soldiers.

The little market is right under everyone's nose, in the dark, but it is definitely not hidden under one's nostrils.

The people sent by the Duke regarded themselves as country gentry and nobles. They enjoyed admiration and a leisurely life. Of course, some of them complained that they should be on the battlefield instead of maintaining order here.

They always look up and look down on others. They are so arrogant that people dislike them, and they miss out on a lot of things because of this.

It is not difficult to please a group of high-ranking people.

Aislei led them skillfully and showed her absolute obedience and good behavior, which reassured the soldiers. The current situation was that those people could see everything and now they all had to listen to her.

After she waved again, Carl, who could not speak, turned and left. Aislei muttered to herself, "What a bunch of idiots. They can trust Carl's loyalty story. Are these people still living before the end of the world?"

The story of "Carl the Silent" became the reason why the soldiers accepted Carl.

Loyalty, how much is it worth?

Aislei believes that everything has a price, as long as the price is right.

But she also liked Carl's loyalty and used it very easily, even though Carl's loyalty was forced upon her.
