The wind blows through the wasteland, and the eyes are full of loess, countless desolations, and endless bitterness.

As pioneers, the people of Moonstream Town in the Western Wilderness have to face all kinds of troubles, and it seems that trouble has become a part of life.

The mine collapsed again?

Monsters in the wild again?

Mountain dogs?

Corpse Breaker?

Gnolls?

Bloodtooth boar?

All kinds of monsters can be the talk of everyone in the only bar in Mooncreek Town. In the bright candlelight, the air in the bar is mixed with the sourness of the men's busy day, the strong smell of alcohol, and the sound of lively discussions.

Recently, though, there's a new talk in the bar, a young mage named Duke Marcus.

"I heard that a mage surnamed Marcus slaughtered Hogg?" a farmer suddenly asked his companion next to him.

"That powerful, more than two meters tall Gnoll Hogg?"

"No, no, no, it should be four meters high, when I passed by Sentinel Ridge a few days ago, I saw Hogg's headless corpse, it was terrifying, even if the body was decomposed, I could still see that it was at least one and a half floors high. So said a trader who had apparently just returned from outside.

"Where's the head?" asked the farmer.

"Head and Claw heard they were sent to Stormwind and the Shining Gold Town of the Elwyn Forest. ”

"It's amazing. There was an absenteeism and sighed.

"Of course, Master Duke Marcus is the second super-genius in the history of the Stormwind Kingdom to be promoted to a full-fledged mage with a ninth-rank talent!" said the middle-aged mercenary who interjected, with pride written on his face.

Yuexi Town is not big, and there are so many people in the town, even if they can't call their names, they can basically recognize them.

"Yo, do you recognize that Master Marcus?"

"Of course, I'm a subordinate of the Lord!" said the mercenary, unabashedly.

"Come on! Master Mage's followers are all very strong, stronger than our town's first knight, Rylock. "Absenteeism teased the mercenary.

But the next moment, the absenteeism was speechless, and it should be said that the entire bar was speechless.

"Yo, Makaro, you're here!"

Ordinary greetings, with a cool appearance.

The blue-and-white mage robe and dazzling mage emblem proved his identity, while the five sharp ice pillars suspended over his shoulders deepened everyone's impression of him.

It is unreasonable for icicles to be suspended in mid-air, and if they are placed on the powerful mage master, then no matter how unreasonable they are, they will become reasonable.

"Master Marcus, you are ......"

"Oh, it's just part of my self-cultivation. Duke replied casually.

Macaro didn't ask anymore, he didn't understand the world of the mage, but this didn't prevent him and the people around him from having a feeling that although they didn't understand, they felt so powerful.

Macaro looked at the bag in Duke's hand, which had a number of spherical bumps, and was a little stunned for a moment.

"Go up and say. ”

Macaro arrived early, along with several of his men. Macaro led Duke to his room first, and several of his men immediately guarded the door.

Below, the rest of the people in Yuexi Town have fried the pot.

"Wow, that's Duke Marcus?

"What a young and promising!"

"What is he doing in Mooncreek Town, there is nothing good in the Western Wilderness to attract a big man like him?"

"Could it be that he has found a new deposit or a specialty?"

"How is it possible! In addition to growing grain, there are a few ordinary iron ore and copper mines in the western wilderness, what else?"

None of them could have imagined that Duke would have developed a new specialty for the Wild West.

In the room, several mercenaries from Makaro were dazzled by the treasures on the table.

Pearls, large and small pearls.

From the smallest small pearl with a different color, to the shiny little pearl, to the more precious black pearl, to the most dazzling, baby's fist-sized gold pearl, so many pearls almost stopped beating in Macaro's heart.

Of course, in addition to pearls, there are also all kinds of beautiful corals, yellow transparent tortoiseshell armor, but the most eye-catching are pearls.

"It's ......"

"I've developed a specialty of the Wild West, and I'm going to build a route and name it Pearl Course. ”

"Shhh

That's not a one-shot deal. A route means that Duke's pearls have a stable source.

The most well-informed Macaro couldn't help but wonder: "Please forgive me for my presumptuousness, the entire coast of the Western Wilderness is full of fish people who can never be killed, how can you ...... Your Excellency"

"Oh, well, by coincidence, I took control of a tribe of fishmen. The one who collects pearls for me is the fishman!"

"Ahh

Legend has it that mages raise strange demons as their servants, but the Fishmen ...... And those rude, murderous, and low-intelligence fishmen. It's incredible.

However, from the very beginning of their acquaintance, Macaro realized that the young man in front of him was the one who made the impossible a miracle. He had gone from being shocked by everything at first, to being a little numb, and even blindly believing.

"Your Excellency, there is something I can do for you. ”

"I ordered a batch of boats from old Jackson at the Stormwind shipyard, and I've paid for it. Now it should be done well, how many, how many you pull for me, the sailors will ask for the horse's head, and the first boatmen can pay double the wages before sailing. Also, be sure to have my flag on the bow of each boat. ”

Looking at the several ghostly flags that Duke took out, each one different, Makaro was a little suspicious, but he didn't ask, but asked, "What about you, Your Excellency?"

"I can't leave for a while. As for the money, you can sell the pearls here first. ”

"No, no, no, your excellency has a lot of bounty left for killing Hogg, please sailor enough. I don't know the price of pearls, so it's better to leave it to you. ”

Duke rubbed his eyebrows, indeed, there are too few people who can work for him. This is an era of illiteracy, and it's easy to find a muscular man, but it's too difficult to find a guy with a brain. Most civilians do not deal with merchants unless they have to.

However, Duke can't get out of here. If the threat from the Naga tribe in the Valley of Thorns is not resolved, there will be no peace here.

"Then do it!, but you should bring some back as evidence that I have opened a pearl route. Also, you go to Master Norton of the Royal Spell Academy for me and ask him to help me apply for the exclusive rights of this route. ”

"......Alone?"

"Do you think the aristocracy will interfere?"

"Your Excellency is wise. "Makaro is submissive.

"It's okay, let them come. Duke's black eyes shone with a cruel cold light.
