Surviving The Fourth Natural Disaster - Chapter 20: Arriving at The Capital (1)

Chapter 20: Arriving at The Capital (1)

Hill also had to negotiate with several store owners on the delivery price. Although he didn’t know about the player’s experience but he must be prepared to receive a large number of goods.

For herbs, food, meat and skin, and jewelry, he had to set the buying price one by one, and there must be a certain amount of room for getting things for cheap.

Hill asked them to calculate and compare it with Frank’s caravan. The two places are so close, so the price should be the same.

He took a last look at the hotel. This concave three-story house with more than 100 small rooms is the largest building in the village. The five maids were sent by Hill to take care of it.

Every family in this village had a regular job and allocated land, so they could be considered as a little rich people.

Hill also told the hotel manager not to panic no matter what happened if the undead came.

If there was not enough meat to eat then sent some tasks to the undead, there would always be someone willing to hunt.

Hill would rush back after attending the coronation ceremony, and wait for him to come back if there was anything that was difficult to be dealt with. Although all of the undead were professionals, they would not easily attack civilians.

Hill felt that the hotel manager was quite calm. After all, Frank was a legendary mage, and Hill was also an archmage. In the eyes of natives, this background should be able to protect them.

Hill also felt that, at most, his mentality would be hit a little. Because that god would shield the player from saying some unconventional words and deeds.

It’s best to wait for him to come back before serving the player’s extra spicy meal.

No matter how much Hill struggled, he was still carried by Frank and flew directly to Salar.

This was Hill’s first time entering the Salar capital.

The city named Obastian was very magnificent. It was firmly guarded by three solid walls from outside to inside.

The outermost city wall was made of blue-black boulders.

The huge outer city of the capital was not like in general fantasy novels, where usually the outermost circles were surrounded by slums and the middle class was in the second layer.

In reality, how could the poor be allowed to live near the city walls? In the outer city of Obastian, there was a huge military camp in each of the four corners. Surrounding the perimeter of the barracks were the families of the officers and soldiers inside. Then there were the security forces, who were in charge of the security of the city and would form a circle between the barracks and the civilian population.

In this city, people who were really poor enough to survive were extremely rare. This semi-slavery form of society would turn all poor people into slaves. In this world, slaves were not available to everyone. People without titles could only hire labor.

Then there were the middle and lower classes, various handicraft producers, traders, and employers who serve officers and merchants. Various black forces also exist in this circle of people. The real oppressed poor in this city actually live in those few places under the control of black forces such as gambling halls and brothels.
