Chapter 22 Good News

Buildings and houses dug out of whole blocks of rocks or mountain walls can be seen in and out of Eskil city. Rock has become the material of choice for all buildings, and many people even dig houses and various buildings directly on those large pieces of diabase.

Those houses and buildings, the small ones are just a house of more than ten square meters on the side of the street, and the big ones, like those high-rise buildings built with reinforced concrete in other cities, nestle among the mountains and can be hundreds of meters high.

Different from those buildings and houses built with reinforced concrete, the houses and buildings here are excavated from stones. Their shapes are all the natural lines of the rocks or mountains themselves, and there are not many traces of artificial modification. If it is not For the doors and windows installed on those buildings, you can hardly tell the difference from ordinary boulders or mountain walls from a distance.

These buildings give the city a strange and rough style.

Corresponding to this strange and rough style is the strong commercial atmosphere and barbaric atmosphere here. On the streets here, the signboards of companies and companies can be seen everywhere. Similarly, even if it is pouring rain outside, people carrying various weapons can be seen everywhere on the streets. As long as they are men, most of them will carry a very conspicuous weapon. , Even many women and children are wearing swords, this is the first time Zhang Tie has seen such a city.

In the heavy rain, Zhang Tie's figure quickly crawled around in the quiet alleys and streets of Eskil City. Because it was raining, he did not attract the attention of others when he ran. Weather, it is normal for a traveler who has just arrived in the city of Eskil to be anxious to find shelter from the rain or a place to stay.

Zhang Tie, who knew that he had been targeted by the people of Magic Snake Island, of course would not just run around in such a reckless manner, but wanted to find a place to change his appearance first.

Just over ten minutes later, Zhang Tie found a barbershop in a narrow, uncrowded street.

Because it was raining, there were few pedestrians on the street outside, and there was no business in the barber shop. A male barber in his forties was sitting bored under the signboard at the door of the shop, watching the streams of water flowing down the eaves through the glass window. The water drop was in a daze.

Zhang Tie, who came to the door of the store, shook his waterproof rain cape and walked into the store.

"Do you want to hide from the rain? It doesn't matter. You can just find a place to sit. If you want to read a newspaper, the newspaper is on the table. You can take it yourself, but the newspaper is already three days ago!" Seeing Zhang Tie Come in, the barber said to Zhang Tie casually.

Zhang Tie smiled, took off the poncho and the bag he was carrying, and put them behind the door of the barber shop, "Cut my hair!"

"Do you want a haircut?" The barber in the shop took a look at Zhang Tie, regained his energy, and immediately called Zhang Tie to sit in front of the mirror, and put a haircut apron on Zhang Tie's body.

"What kind of haircut do you want?"

"It's good to be natural, don't be too unconventional, but it should be significantly different from the current one. I like freshness!" Zhang Tie said casually.

"Well!"

Under the flying scissors of the barber, in a short while, Zhang Tie's hairstyle on his head became much shorter and changed, looking brighter and full of youthfulness.

Zhang Tie looked in the mirror and nodded, "Can you dye your hair here?"

"Can!"

"Then help me dye my hair again!"

"Your golden hair looks good!,

'

"Well, I want to change the color to look fresher!" Zhang Tie said, scratching his head. It is impossible for people in Magic Snake Island to have his current photo, and he is not a famous person, and there are very few people who know him here, so the key for people in Magic Snake Island to find him is the description of his appearance, such as Speaking of his appearance, hairstyle, and so on, sometimes, to make it difficult for people on Magic Snake Island to find him, or to increase the difficulty for those people to find him, there is no need to completely change his appearance. It is enough to look a little different from before. This is the simplest and easiest way to make yourself disappear in the crowd.

"You young people like to be unconventional. Tell me, what color do you want to dye your hair in? The hair dye here comes from the juice of the petals and roots of the thousand-color flower that is unique to the ice and snow wasteland. It is very expensive to dye your hair once. It costs at least four silver coins! Add the money you just had for a haircut, and that's four silver coins and fifty copper coins!"

"no problem!"

"Then what color do you want, I can make any color hair dye here!"

Zhang Tie thought about the people he saw on the street just now, it seemed that they had more brown-gray hair, and then said casually, "Then let's have brown-gray hair!"

"It takes about two hours to dye my hair once!"

"It's okay, I have plenty of time now!" Zhang Tie smiled, and picked up a newspaper in front of the mirror and read it. And the barber began to concoct hair dye for him.

When the barber began to color Zhang Tie's hair, Zhang Tie saw a striking message on the fourth page of the newspaper called "Eskil Daily""

——"The Horde of Beasts Threatens the Herbal Gatherers of the Gray Hills, While the Fur Traders Are Gearing Up"

...With the outbreak of the beast tide that had been silent for a long time, hordes of iron-toothed hyenas also began to roam the Gray Hills. For the past two weeks, Ade, who has been occupying most of the medicinal materials business in the Gray Hills, More than 40 herb collectors from the Rice Merchant Group on the Gray Hills have been killed by iron-toothed hyenas, and some of the herb collectors from other merchant groups on the Gray Plain have also disappeared. According to eyewitnesses, , In the areas where the missing herbal pickers passed, traces of large groups of iron-toothed hyenas were found. More than one herbalist who has come back alive claims to have been attacked or followed by a hyena. In some villages near the gray hills, there are also reports of missing people and livestock.

...The news of the beast horde on the gray hills has caused the prices of medicinal materials such as snow ginseng, golden lily, red grass, bright sand, and blood tribulus to increase to varying degrees in the Eskill Herbal Medicine Exchange this week. According to Ace According to someone from the Kiel Herbal Medicine Exchange, with the recent changes in the mainland situation, the trading of medicinal materials on the ice and snow wasteland has continued to boom, and the demand for various medicinal materials has increased significantly. If the beast tide in the gray hills is not contained , then the income of many business groups will be affected.

While many people in the Eskiel Herbal Medicine Exchange were worried about the beast tide, the fur traders were all smiling. The fur of the iron-toothed hyena has always been the best raw material for processing high-quality leather armor and high-grade armor lining. For a month, the fur of iron-toothed hyenas also showed a trend of being in short supply.

…The Adeles Merchant Group is now reaching an agreement with the Eskiel Herb Exchange and some fur traders, and will recruit pioneers and wandering warriors to go to the gray hills to deal with the beast tide. After all pioneers and free warriors kill a Hyena, they can not only sell the Hyena directly to the fur buyer, but also get an extra 6 With a subsidy of one silver coin, the income will increase substantially.

…Those who have a personal strength of three or more and are interested in signing up can go to the Adeles Merchant Group on Iron Bear Street to inquire about related matters. The first batch of applicants will depart from Eskil on August 13th…………

Zhang Tie's eyes flicked across the newspaper. Even the barber standing behind him didn't notice which news Zhang Tie was reading in the newspaper. After reading this news, Zhang Tie remained calm on the surface. , but there was an urge to jump up in my heart——ha, it seems that the ice and snow wasteland is really a good place. I just came here and saw such good news! I don't know how the iron tooth hyena's Qili fruit tastes like, beast tide, hehe, I like it...

Two hours later, the rain stopped. Zhang Tie, who had changed his hairstyle and hair color, left the barber shop after dropping five silver coins. The waterproof poncho with the Pioneer logo, the Pioneer backpack and sleeping bag and other things were put into the Black Iron Fort, and then he took out an ordinary long sword from the Black Iron Fort and put it on his back again.

For Zhang Tie, the identity of a pioneer is just a legitimate cover for him to come to the ice and snow wasteland. Since this cover is no longer effective and will increase the risk of exposing himself, Zhang Tie naturally did not cling to this temporary identity No reason to let go.

After doing all this, Zhang Tie only had an ordinary long sword hanging on his waist, just like a young wandering warrior a year ago. , walked unhurriedly towards the location of the Adeles Merchant Group.

Facts have proved that the two small measures taken by Zhang Tie to conceal his identity within these two hours were extremely necessary, because he did not expect that there were two people following him at the pier instead of one. . Two-person stalking is a safer and more experienced stalking technique. One person in charge of stalking keeps a close eye on his target person, while the other person watches his companion from a distance. One of the advantages of such stalking is It's not easy to expose yourself. Even after the second exposure, the whole army will not be wiped out all at once, or there will be no one who can pass on the news.

After knowing that Zhang Tie had already killed the two ninth-level round table warriors on the Magic Snake Island, the two guys who received the order from the Magic Snake Island to be responsible for tracking Zhang Tie in Eskiel adopted this safer and Sophisticated stalking skills.

The guy who was lucky enough not to be killed by Zhang Tie realized that he had lost Zhang Tie, thought of the terrible punishment that the Snake Island would have on those who could not complete the task, gritted his teeth, and pushed Zhang Tie into a bigger in trouble...

When the rain stopped, a team of police officers from the Eskil City Police Department who received the report came to the alley where the guy killed by Zhang Tie was on the verge of an enemy, "... (to be continued [ This text is provided by Breaking Dawn Update Group x-on:破梦n]
