Instead of going to Tanton City Hall to look for the Disraeli Knights, we quietly found a small inn to stay in.

It was a small three-story brick and stone building, with colorful bed sheets hanging on the terrace outside the attic window on the top floor, and a maple leaf painted on the front of the hotel, which didn't even have its own name.

I chatted with the shopkeeper at the bar for a while, he was very talkative, but always careful when he spoke, and every commoner was in awe of the magician.

The owner is a native of the country, he has three wives, two older wives and six children who live in the city of Pereira, and are waiting in line for a transfer ticket to the province of Dulva, and the reason why he is here is nothing more than to make more money, the youngest wife is by his side, there are fewer women around him, there are fewer noisy people in life every day, and life has become more comfortable.

The owner's third wife, who looked young and industrious, would help out in the inn, making breakfast for the guests every day, cleaning the inn, and unpacking the sheets that had been piled up into a hill with two other maids.

I asked the shopkeeper, "Mr. Billy, are you afraid of staying in Tanton City?"

He smiled, with a bitter expression on his face, and said to me, "I'm not afraid that it's false." ”

But what can be done, you always have to think about the rest of your life. He took a pipe out of his bosom, took two puffs in his mouth, and said.

Leaning against the wine cooler behind the bar, his eyes fell on the pedestrians outside the window and said to me, "Everyone has a reason to stay, doesn't they?"

......

The sky of Tanton City seems to be forever gray, whether it rains or not, those gray clouds are forever floating above the heads of the inhabitants of Tanton City.

There is a filling restaurant downstairs that serves scones, white bread and broth, and of course ale.

The owner of the restaurant is a shy cook, and it is said that the pancakes here are very delicious, but the restaurant owner does not make them often, and the menu used to order food does not have this dish on the menu, and whether you can eat it depends entirely on the mood of the restaurant owner, and there are some people drinking in front of the bar in the restaurant.

A group of five of us walked into the diner, found an empty table in the corner and sat down, and the maid held a black, greasy menu on the table, and cautiously asked us what we wanted to eat? She was wearing a white linen dress with a gray cotton apron over it, a pair of long, faded leather boots on her feet, her skin was slightly dark, her eyes were large, and her lips were thick, and she looked like a mixture of Grimm and Hierro natives.

We weren't here to taste the most famous pancakes or fill our stomachs, but to get an idea of the current state of Tanton from the drinkers, and it would be unrealistic to rebuild a town in the Trum region given the current state of the Hierro plane.

I ordered some white bread and fresh seasonal vegetables, and I was sure that Luka the Minotaur would have a good appetite.

Our small team also seems to outsiders to be the kind of adventurous team that makes people shine, and for no other reason than that there is a strong minotaur warrior in the team, and the two ladies in the team are wearing coveted gorgeous magic suits, and there is also a mysterious magician in the team wearing magic robes and a hood, and no matter what our strength is, these three are enough to stop anyone's curiosity.

After all, no one wants to make trouble for themselves.

In such a small restaurant, Justes has the most say, he has opened a tavern on Dunai Island before, he knows what kind of people to communicate with, everyone needs what they need, we are more like an adventure party from a foreign country to make money, and it belongs to the most popular model of other adventure parties, elite adventure team.

So Justes, with a glass of inferior ale, quickly got the news we wanted.

The current situation in the Hierro Plane is far worse than I expected, especially in the area around Tanton City, which has been completely reduced to a hunting ground for the Nibru spider warriors.

Those giant spiders are predators without natural enemies in this Black Forest, in order to provide enough nutrient solution for the spider-man warriors, the giant spiders hunt in the Black Forest, and now it is difficult to hunt any beasts in the forest near Tanton City, so the giant spiders move their camps to areas with more prey, they chase the beasts that run and flee for a long time in the Black Forest, and it is difficult to stay in a certain area of the forest, so the spider camp is also constantly migrating with the herd.

Because of the constraints of the supply line, every time they attack Tanton City, the spider-man warriors have to rush over from the spider camp in the depths of the Black Forest, the spider-man warriors do not need to eat during the battle, but they can only last for more than ten days, and the spider-man warriors only stay outside Tanton City for about seven days.

The Spider-Man Warrior has a strong physique, and his running speed in the forest is not much slower than that of the Gubolai Horse, which gives him an advantage in the Black Forest, and the Spider-Man camp is now far away from Tanton City, so these adventuring teams relying on Tanton City's supplies do not dare to venture into danger easily.

The Duke of Samoyed led the Constructed Knights on several expeditions to the Nebru Archnid camp in the southern region of the Black Forest, causing the Nebru Arabodians to take advantage of the emptiness in the rear, and commanded thousands of Archnid warriors in several Archnid Overseers, and broke through several forest cities of the Duke of Samoyed in a row.

A large number of people poured into the already saturated city of Pereira, and when the other cities were in ruins, people had lost faith in the war here, and were unwilling to stay and rebuild their homes, but decided to abandon everything they could not take with them, and ran to Pereira City to squeeze the portal that was about to explode.

Today, Tanton City has lost its former prosperity, and most of the residents of this city have left here, and they have long been heading to Pereira City in the rear of the Samoyed Dukedom, and there are about three types of people who still stay in Tanton City:

The first is the army stationed in the city, which currently houses seven heavy infantry regiments and two light cavalry regiments.

Each heavy infantry regiment is about 1,500 people, each light cavalry is about 500 people, and the current garrison of Tanton City is about 11,500 people, and after the collapse of the surrounding defensive fronts, the materials of those strongholds are hoarded in Tanton City, which makes Tanton City have a large number of military materials, among which the richest weapons of war are bed crossbows. It is also the most effective weapon for the Imperials to defend against the Spider-Man warriors.

Fortunately, the knights of Disraeli only need to lead people to hold the inner city, otherwise such a small number of troops will not even be as good as the El City guard battalion, and if the outer city has not yet fallen, even if the force is doubled, it will be obviously insufficient.

The second group were the merchants who remained in Tanton and waited for the war to be made.

It's like innkeepers, restaurateurs, and vendors selling supplies in the city. They stayed in Tanton City to earn their last pot of gold, and they were betting that the Duke of Samoyed would not give up Tanton City.

The third group is the adventuring groups and mercenary groups that have gathered in Tanton City from all directions.

These teams are led by one or more elite Constructed Warriors, and their purpose in Tanton City is very simple, that is, they want to hunt down the Spider-Man Warriors and obtain the Black Crystals in the Spider-Man Warriors' heads.

These bands will swarm like locusts when they gain the upper hand in war, trailing the fleeing spider-men and greedily sticking out their vicious fangs. At the same time, these people are also the most knowledgeable about current affairs, and when the war is in an unfavorable situation, they would rather stay in a tavern and drink all day than go out to die, and although the soldiers in these adventurous groups have an adventurous spirit, they are not stupid.

We sat in the diner for half a day, and many of them tried to reach out to us, trying to convince us to join their improvised team, many of them were tired of staying in Tanton City, and occasionally went out of the city to hunt the Spider-Man scouts in the Black Forest, and some of the daring adventure groups would also touch the depths of the Black Forest near the Spider-Man camp to hunt the Spider-Man warriors there.

We didn't make the decision to form a team with that party, because we were fundamentally different from them, for whom Tanton City was like an island in the middle of a storm. For us, however, it's like our own backyard orchard.

We're here for one purpose, and that's to pick fruit, and we're not prepared to take the fruit from our backyard orchard and share it with others.

......

Mr. Billy, the innkeeper, was a very interesting man, and when he heard me say that he wanted to go to the black market in Tanton, he took the initiative and said, "I am also going to the black market to buy some wheat flour and oats, and the inn does not have much grain stocked, so it is time to buy a batch." It just so happens that we go together, and with you with me, I don't have to worry about my own safety! ”

I'm looking at the black market in Tanton City, because during this kind of war, when there are no caravans going from city to city, a lot of supplies will become extremely valuable, and some things will become worthless, which is the most normal thing.

For example, in Tanton City, the price of weapons and food has always been high, but because Pereira City and Tanton City have always traveled between the two cities, as long as you have money, you can still buy these things.

At the same time, there are also many supplies that have become worthless. For example, the real estate in Tanton City, in this city that may be broken at any time, the inner city was originally a place where nobles and wealthy people lived, and now this group of people has almost left Tanton City, many mansions are vacant, many houses near the city wall live in the army under the Duke of Samoyed, and many empty mansions in the city have become temporary strongholds for some adventure groups.

Ruka the Minotaur stayed in the hotel, for this tall Minotaur warrior, wherever he appeared, he would be the center of attention, this orc warrior is still very popular in the Grimm Empire, I don't want to be recognized so quickly.

Before Karantso and Caterina went out, they both used black cloaks to cover the demonic armor on their bodies, and Justes even took off the 'Demon Serpent's Fang' directly, wore ordinary leather armor, combed a very handsome hairstyle, and even smeared some hair wax on the top of his head, making him look more like a down-and-out aristocratic baron.

I wore a black robe of an apprentice and hid my face in my hood, of course, the hood on this magic robe was not a mask, it couldn't actually cover my face, and it was easy to see my true face as long as I stood in front of me.

Apparently the innkeeper, Mr. Billy, had accidentally seen my young face, and he froze in some astonishment, and then laughed and joked at me, "Master Magician, you are so young!"

His young wife also ran over curiously, wanting to see my true face, but he glared at me and said, "Look at the store!"

Then we hung a sign at the door of the inn that it was full, tied a cloth bag around our waists, and a servant led us out of the hotel.

The depressed street scene in Tanton City made me sigh a little embarrassed......

I still remember when the reverse auction was held in Tanton City, the nobles crowded the courtyard, and now in Tanton City, those who can get out have probably already left, and the current Tanton City looks like a large defensive stronghold.

On both sides of the street, you can still see some down-and-out civilians, just laying some hay or tattered fur under the eaves of the street, lying on them like dead dogs, with empty eyes, numb expressions, and emaciated bodies, no different from homeless people who have spent a winter in the city of El.

Mr. Billy, the innkeeper, took us to the front of a mansion, and saw that the door of this mansion was full of magic caravans on both sides of the gate, and there were two guards standing at the door of the mansion.

When we entered the mansion, the guards did not stop us, and the innkeeper, Mr. Billy, whispered to us, "This black market is semi-public in Tanton, and sometimes even the military will buy some supplies here. ”

Then Mr. Billy added: "You don't have to pay a fee to enter the black market, but if you go out of the black market, you have to pay taxes on the goods you buy, and the guards at the gate will check the tax bill, and if it matches the amount of goods you bring out, you will be allowed to let them go, and if someone tries to evade taxes, if they are caught, they will face a fine of eight times." ”

I whispered to Mr. Billy, "So how do they check the magician's magic fanny pack?"

"You just have to take a little bit of it in your hand and issue a tax bill, who can have a hard time with a magician nobleman?" Mr. Billy said casually, "Now, in Tanton City, one more magician means one more healer, and this little benefit is still there." ”

I asked, "What if I buy a little bit more?"

"That's more casual, who bothered to remember what you bought!" said Mr. Billy, squinting his eyes and smiling kindly at me.
