Chapter 35. Fame and work are twins

Located in the southeast of the "Arm of Friendship" Hotel, Belgost is an important hub between the northern commercial gate of Bode, and the southern industrial gate of Nasieke. Merchants buy iron ore or crude iron from Nasieke, and transport it to the Bode, to process it into various weapons, armor and daily necessities, and then sell it to the entire "Sword Bay" area, and even sold it to the mainland and even overseas.

It is no exaggeration to say that once there is a problem with the supply of iron ore in Nasiekai, the entire Jianwan area will fall into uneasiness and even turmoil.

And now, it is said that there is a problem with the iron ore in Nasieke.

Pan Long didn't know what the specific problem was - in the game, someone was making trouble in the iron ore, killing them, then killing all the robbers who blocked the road, and then going to another place to flood a certain iron ore, and this task was completed.

According to those fan novels, Sharofok, who had already rushed to the street, wanted to seize the dominance of the Baldur Gate, and then went to war with Am in the south. Through the large amount of killing brought by the war, he inherited the priesthood of killing and became a new generation of killing gods.

In order to rule the Baldur Gate, he needed to first attack the weapons manufacturing industry, the core of the Baldur Gate's business, so he built his own iron ore and then removed the Nassicae's iron ore. In this way, he could only provide enough iron ore in the entire Baldur Gate area, thereby greatly enhancing his status.

Well...it's probably that's it.

Although Sharofok relies on replacing various bigwigs with transformants to seize the forces of various factions, and it seems that there is no need to mess with those things before, but... he can't make a game, he just finds transformants everywhere all day and then kills him.

Players play adventurers, not search officers!

A group of people were wearing heavy armor and carrying heavy super-large particle guns. Whenever they saw someone, they would use detection spells to squirt them, and yelled from time to time, "You are not loyal!" and then a bang...

Hello! This is the story of swords and magic, not the "Emperor vs. Four vendors"!

Pan Long ended his memories and then thought about what to do.

The bald man had already died in the woods east of the candle castle. Unless he believed that Brother Chun, it would be impossible to come back from hell and continue to make trouble. Since there was no such thing as this, then no one would promote those conspiracies, and the entire Bald Gate area should restore peace.

But why are there still problems with the iron ore in Nasieke? There are still news of thieves attacking caravans in the Belgost area?

"Let me know who is making trouble. I must give him a white knife and go in and the red knife!"

When Pan Long shook his head repeatedly, he saw the dumped truck left after the attack, and the dangerous green iron ore on the truck, and was very annoyed.

Is it easy for merchants to make some money? Selling iron ore is a legitimate business, and it is not harmful to nature at all! Moreover, the profits of iron ore are not high. Compared with daily necessities, luxury goods and even some illegal activities, such honest businessmen are the most harmless.

It’s so incredible that the robbers don’t rob the fat sheep but instead bully these honest people!

It's simply a loss of money!

(Even the horse thief in the Black Gobi Desert, they generally won’t attack those businessmen who do small businesses with a profit of 10% or 20%. They are too much!)

The most hateful thing is that these thieves did not come to snatch iron ore. They just used special means to pollute the iron ore after driving away or killing the merchants, so that they could not smel out high-quality iron ore.

Pan Long had also studied the contaminated iron ore, but he had no choice but to do anything. Not to mention him, even the wife of the Proprietor Galana, who is a priest, could not do anything about it.

She once tried to use "remove toxins" on an ore, but it was not effective. Using a more advanced "remove curse" is also ineffective. "Advanced Magic" may restore the ore to normal, but that kind of advanced spell is not easy to cast. It requires expensive casting materials.

Moreover, the priest's magic is limited by the will of the doctrine and the gods themselves. Even if she is the administrator of a temple, she can enjoy a little extra comfort, and the God of Knowledge cannot give her the power to relieve the ore.

This is the case, everyone is the same.

Merchants are pursuing profits. Contaminated iron ore cannot be cleaned up in cheaper ways. So it is better to buy other uncontaminated iron ore.

After all, it's business.

In the final analysis, we must catch the guy who manipulated those thieves behind the scenes. I believe that guy must have the means to remove pollution!

While thinking, Pan Long drove the carriage slowly on the road. When it was getting late, he saw a large town.

This is the most important hub town between Belgost, the Gate of Bodder and Nassicae.

His arrival had no effect on the town—people pass by here every day, some of them passed by in a hurry, some would pass again, and some would never appear in people's sight again.

In the eyes of urban residents, these "countrymen" have nothing to pay attention to.

When Pan Long walked into a hotel called "Red Scroll" and asked about the accommodation price, the bartender looked at him with contemptuous eyes, looking arrogant as a "high-end person".

But before he could maintain this arrogant expression for more than a second, a drinker had already recognized Pan Long and exclaimed: "Bloody coachman?! Why is he here?"

The arrogant expression on the bartender's face suddenly stopped, and it was replaced by humility and flattery. The process was so fast that it was like a face change in Sichuan opera.

He couldn't do it without being humble. The "bloody coachman" is already a famous adventurer in this area. He killed several ogres alone. The killing of goblins, zombies and the like may be able to fill the entire hotel hall. As for the killing of goblins... they are even too lazy to calculate.

And those newborn adventurers would brag about it proudly even if they killed two or three goblins.

Facing such a person, no matter how humble the bartender is, are he really tired of living and seeking death?

Pan Long didn't care about the bartender's attitude, but when he was having dinner, the hotel owner suddenly came and told him, "You can live in us for free." He was a little surprised.

"Free?" he couldn't help asking.

“Yes…although it’s just a regular room.”

"A normal guest room is enough." Pan Long nodded, and looked at the boss suspiciously, "You are so polite, are you asking me for help?"

"You have such a good eye!" The boss saw through his mind, laughed flatteringly, and explained: "I encountered some trouble here not long ago..."

"What trouble?"

"Did you know that... the famous musician Ms. Shilk Rosana?"

"I don't know, you'd better tell me what happened."

"Okay. A few days ago, Ms. Rosana claimed to have been harassed by Old Feld - Old Feld also runs a hotel. She wanted Ms. Rosana to perform in his place, but was rejected..."

Pan Long sighed: "Say the point!"

"Okay! Ms. Rosana lives with me, and then that day, three people came and they had a conflict with Ms. Rosana..."

"Was that female musician killed?" Pan Long asked.

"No." The boss said awkwardly, "On the contrary, Ms. Rosana was furious for some reason and killed all three of them with magic."

Pan Long was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does this have to do with your trouble?"

"The three of them lived with Old Feld before and had a considerable business deal with Old Feld. According to Old Feld, they said they could make some money in the past few days, and they were very happy. As a result..." The boss looked embarrassed, "I don't know what money they want to make. After Ms. Rosana killed them, she said in panic that 'someone is chasing me' and fled to the Baldur Gate with the bodyguard. Now Old Feld pressured me through the sheriff, and he said that Ms. Rosana is actually an evil black wizard..."

Pan Long finally understood his predicament - the Baldur Gate is very rude to the black wizards. Not only are they unpopular, but even those who work with them will be unpopular once they are exposed.

This boss runs a hotel. If he can't clear his reputation, he will not only continue to open a store to make money, but even whether he can live in Belgost will be a problem!

But he did not easily agree to the boss' request, but looked at the boss cautiously.

"I won't believe your one-sided words when it comes to three lives," he said. "Tomorrow I will go to Feld to ask. If I can, I will also look for other witnesses. Only when you make sure you are right, I will help you find the whereabouts of Shilk Rosana."

The boss felt relieved and could see that he was under great pressure.

After saying this for a while, he had scratched his head twice and lost a lot of his hair.

When he turned around and left, Pan Long looked at his slightly sparse head and suddenly felt that maybe he didn't have to worry.

For example... After his hair is gone, it seems good to set off to find the evil wizard Rosana?

I thought of a little cunning malice in my heart, and it seemed that even the food became more delicious.

The next morning, he did not go directly to the Feld Hotel, but went to her home first according to the introduction of Mrs. Landling.

As she said, her home was occupied by a spider.

Black, with sharp and long legs, standing on the ground, almost as tall as an ordinary person's calves.

Their reaction was very fast. As soon as Pan Long opened the door, they rushed towards him viciously. Looking at their flexible appearance, I believe they would never be harmless things for humans and animals.

But what greeted them was the spear in Pan Long's hand.

One by one, he used only four times and poked the four spiders to death on the ground.
