In this way, Zhao Mai had a "household registration" in Neibo Town and became a "famous" character. However, he still lived in the guest room of the Fireplace Tavern for the time being, and did not intend to rent or buy the houses in the town.

After calculating the daily expenses, if you don’t make money at all, all seventy gold coins will be spent within one month, and Zhao Mai will become extremely poor, which makes him feel a little incredible. The farmers in Neibo Town cannot earn so much money even after being busy for a year. Why do they spend so quickly?

Only after calming down and thinking carefully, listing all the expenses and comparing them, did he understand the mystery. Excluding houses, servants and food, Zhao Mai only needs two or three gold coins a month. In addition, many farmers give themselves textiles and clothing, so they need to use less money. Under the self-sufficient small peasant economic system, land is the greatest capital.

With land, you can grow food to support yourself, build a house on it to shelter from the wind and rain. You can raise it yourself by eating meat, weave it by yourself, and even the goddess of life, Falesma, is worried about birth, old age, sickness and death. Although there are lords on it, some laws are strict, and some are still changing, but those who own the land are indeed living for themselves. Owning their own land and building their own homes has always been Zhao Mai’s dream. It is no wonder that he wants to try to obtain a piece of land here.

"If you are the only one, this is basically impossible." Green said: "There are lands without owners far away from the town. Although they are nominally owned by each lord, because no one planted them, and the lords had no income, they were not concerned about it. As long as you can open up and pay the tax, no one will touch your land."

"Why do few people do it?"

"It's too dangerous." Green moved a chair and sat down by the table, signaling Zhao Mai to sit down, and the two of them had a good talk. "Beasts are the first difficulty, but experienced farmers can still deal with it. What they hate are goblins, kobolds, etc. They move in groups, and many villages have not yet formed a scale, and they are destroyed by them. If they encounter orcs or werewolves, they have good military organizations, and ordinary adventurers will be defeated. At this time, they can only rely on the lord's army. Most of the time, they can only drive away, and encirclement and annihilation are individual situations. You must know that the lords also need to control their own war losses."

"Why don't you use the army to patrol regularly to stop orcs?"

"Because there are more dangerous existences. Magical beasts, strange monsters, undeads and dragons, these are not afraid of the army. In these situations, the power of adventurers is more trustworthy. Of course, they can only deal with one or two individuals that appear alone. The top power is still several professional unions, plus temples. Neibo Town has connections with the druid community, otherwise how could this place develop to such a scale?"

No matter what civilization has its own unique survival skills, Zhao Mai gradually gained an understanding of this. He spent more than a whole week and did nothing, just dragging Green to chat and strengthen his common language. If not, how could he understand such a complicated introduction?

"You should pay me more. Hiring a professional language lecturer is more expensive than servants. I have said too much these days, which has caused me to become fat." Green picked up the ale again and swallowed it with a big mouthful.

"If that doesn't work, let's change to drinking water?" Zhao Mai said jokingly.

Green smiled and stopped complaining. These ale wines were bought for Zhao Mai's real money. As long as you don't get drunk, Green will just talk. He is a person who likes to drink, and he still wants to do this method. Moreover, there are always people who can chat when drinking, no matter what topic you are doing, as long as you make sure that the common words are spoken slowly and the vocabulary is as ordinary as possible.

This is simply the most comfortable job, how could Green be dissatisfied?

Zhao Mai was also very satisfied. Through Green's description, he connected the things originally on paper with the living world, and gradually formed a flesh-and-blood image.

The price of flesh and blood is lack of money. "Green, is there any way to sell some goods safely without being tracked down?"

Green paused for a moment when drinking, put down his glass and licked his lips, and said, "If it was the first day of the meeting, I would recommend you to go to the stake grocery store. They have channels to contact the thieves union in the south, and maybe they can satisfy your wishes. But now, I will advise you not to do this."

"Is it because you think I'm a good person?"

"Bah, I think you are too weak." Green shook his head: "Don't look at you carrying weapons and armor, if you really count it, your combat power is very worrying, and most apprentices can defeat you. Your only advantage is that you are smarter than them and may perform better on the spot, but this is not stable. If you encounter some cautious opponents, your intelligence will be useless."

"You're right. I admit that fighting is not good. But how do you see that I'm smart?"

Of course, it is based on the speed of learning language and the terrible knowledge. Green would not say it, and skip this topic directly: "For the sake of safety, you may not tell me what you are going to sell, and you will only take it out when you go to the wooden stake grocery store. Originally, I didn't mind this form, I could always get a commission anyway. But now I'm worried that you will take out something amazing and then be targeted by the thief guild, and you will basically die."

"Thank you for your concern. Any suggestions?"

"It's better to go through the guild channel and use the contract of Neibo Town to protect yourself. I can help you contact the merchant, write confidentiality and other information into the contract, and hand it over to the guild for safekeeping. The cost may be higher, but the security is much higher than contacting the robber guild. I think this is what you care more about."

"Let me think about it." Zhao Mai nodded.

He is not a young boy, so he naturally doesn't just listen to one side. He felt that his common language could handle most of the situation, so he prepared to go to the guild. He signed a contract with Green before at the guild, so he knew where the guild was, and he knew that someone there was specifically explaining the guild's procedures. The cost of explaining the two gold coins was a lot of money for ordinary people, but Zhao Mai thought it was worth it.

Now he can probably understand what people around him are talking about, and can greet people with local formal etiquette so as not to make a fool of himself. He can even tell who are real beggars and who are spies from the Southern Thieves Union. Green once complained that the thieves union from Needal, the South is trying to extend his tentacles to the north. The Shadow Council (Nidal's ruling institution) is not very strong in military strength, but he spares no effort to support the expansion of domestic organizations and does not know what the idea is.

Whether it is a real beggar or a fake beggar, Zhao Mai put a copper plate in their small basin. Anyway, he has identified all the money, and none of them is a gold coin of fate. In the healthy jungle, coins are rare things, and gold coin of fate is useless. But when you come to a commercial town, in order to find other gold coins of fate, you naturally have to carry the previous one with you.

I found a craftsman to create a pendant, inlaid the gold coins, and then wear them closely. Zhao Mai hoped that it could sense other gold coins as soon as possible, so that he could control greater freedom by traveling through the two worlds.

"Boy, can you come and talk?" Zhao Mai actually heard Chinese when walking on the street.

He turned his head and looked at it, but no one was talking to him. He looked at the reserved grain and found that the puppy was staring straight at a black cat beside the road, purring in his throat, showing some alertness.

"Tianyutong, do you still remember?" The cat waved, and his movements were similar to the lucky cat that was common in the store. Then, it turned around and entered a store through the crack of the door.

He looked up at the signboard and sold all kinds of vegetables and flowers here. Could it be the shop opened by the druid? Zhao Mai grabbed his head, picked up the reserve grain and walked in.
