Chapter 18 Firefox Chamber of Commerce
Walking on the street, Su Nan was surprised to find that there were obviously more people in the city and it was much more lively than before.

Many of them were wearing leather armor, carrying weapons, and looked very tough.

Noticing Sunan's gaze, Keyi explained with a smile, "After the Black Rock Mine was reopened, many caravans heard the news and rushed over. Many of these people were caravan members and accompanying mercenaries."

Su Nan suddenly realized.

The prosperity of a city often starts with booming business.

As long as the Blackrock Mine continues to develop, within a few years, Blackrock City will become one of the top cities in the Jinyan Province.

As he walked, Sunan saw a simple shed area built with wooden sheds.

More than ten people were busy inside, some were cooking porridge, some were making porridge.

A group of ragged, skinny people lined up in a long queue in front of the porridge stall, their eyes fixed on it, their throats moving constantly, with an expression of impatience on their faces.

However, under the warning gazes of the surrounding soldiers, they could only line up and wait obediently.

"Who are those people?" Sunan looked at Keyi.

"They are refugees from Jinghua Principality in the west. There is a war going on there and many civilians are displaced. I sent people over to meet them and prepare to absorb these people into the city."

Su Nan seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this.

In addition to income, population is also a very important factor in the prosperity of a city.

Black Rock City is located on the border and has a small population. Even the army has only more than 500 people.

This is a congenital deficiency.

If this problem is not solved, Blackrock City will never grow stronger, and the cavalry regiment will never be formed.

And absorbing refugees is undoubtedly an excellent measure to solve the problem.

In particular, those refugees who were able to survive the long journey were mostly young men and women with good physical fitness.

After joining the territory, you can immediately become a labor force after resting for a few days.

Young and middle-aged people can directly join the army to strengthen the military strength of Black Rock City.

"Before winter comes this year, I plan to take the initiative to attack the Black Scaled Lizardmen tribe in the Red Horn Wilderness."

Kei continued with his eyes shining.

"Moving the battlefield to the Red Horn Wilderness will help Black Rock City avoid the flames of war."

Su Nan nodded in understanding.

Although Key didn't say it, both of them knew the more important reason.

With more black-scaled lizardmen blood, Blackrock City can train more knights.

The two then talked about what had happened recently in Jinyan Province.

When Sunan heard that Earl Storm was attacked, seriously injured and unconscious, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Lord Storm is a great knight and a powerful lord, so he must be surrounded by very strict guards.

In this situation, the assassin was able to inflict heavy damage on Count Storm.

Where did the Spark Cult come from?
Seeing Sunan's doubts, Key explained, "The Spark Cult is a mysterious sect that appeared more than ten years ago. It has developed very quickly. In just three or four years, it has grown into a sect with influence all over the principality. They act very secretly, and their purpose is unclear. It is said that they have colluded with many nobles in private, but they have also done a lot of assassinations of nobles. It is very strange."

The more Su Nan listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

With this development trajectory, could there be a wizard (apprentice) behind the Spark Cult?
Su Nan recalled, but he didn't have much memory of the Xinghuo Sect.

After all, when I came into contact with the game in my previous life, it was already version 2.0.

Version 1.0 He basically doesn't understand anything unless it is something very important related to wizards.

As I was thinking, there was suddenly a noise coming from the front.

However, the two of them turned the corner and arrived near the tavern.

The door of the tavern was open, and there was a noisy and lively sound coming from inside, as if many people were shouting loudly.

When I walked in, I found that there was a drinking contest. Two burly men sat on either side of the round table, pouring wine into their mouths desperately.

While drinking, he gave his opponent a provocative look.

There were more than a dozen tall and strong men surrounding them, cheering enthusiastically and bursting into applause from time to time.

Su Nan's eyes swept across the crowd and fell on one of the men who were drinking.

The man was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a rough face and thick body hair. His exposed arms, open chest and most of his face were covered with hair. His eyes were amber in color and did not look like human eyes but rather like the pupils of a wild animal.

"Beastman."

Su Nan's expression changed and he blurted out subconsciously.

Beastmen were originally the product of wizard experiments.

Most of them are bloodthirsty, cruel and extremely aggressive.

Once exposed to some external stimulation, it is easy to lose control of the bloodthirsty instinct, transform into a ferocious beast and attack all living creatures in sight like crazy.

In ancient times, the earliest beastmen once caused the "Beast Disaster", causing heavy casualties, until it was suppressed by wizards later.

However, after many years of reproduction and weakening of bloodlines, later beastmen have improved a lot and can basically control their beast abilities.

Beastmen cannot practice breathing techniques, but their physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people.

Adult beastmen have the strength of an apprentice knight.

Some beastmen with the blood of wild beasts in their bodies can even have strength comparable to that of knights after hard training.

However, in contrast to their strong physique, the lifespan and reproductive capacity of beastmen are much worse than those of normal humans.

Today, beastmen are rarely seen on the continent.

Even if there are any, most of them live within the Cangjin Empire.

Sunan didn't expect to see a descendant of a beastman here.

"Few people can see Ota's origins at a glance. Your Excellency is really well-informed."

Suddenly a voice came to my ear.

Su Nan turned his head and saw a tall man, about forty years old, walking towards him with a smile on his face.

He was also wearing a red fox fur coat that looked very expensive.

"My Lord, long time no see."

As he approached, the man first bowed to Keyi, and then looked at Sunan.

"I don't know what to call you?"

"Sunan."

Su Nan nodded slightly at the other party. He had already guessed the other party's identity.

"This is my brother." Ke Yi introduced him, and then introduced the man's identity to Sunan, "This is Muzhuo Ismail, the owner of the Firefox Chamber of Commerce."

"Mr. Sunan, nice to meet you."

Mu Zhuo shook hands with Su Nan with a smile on his face, but he was secretly confused in his heart.

According to the information obtained, the second young master of the Shining Family is a loner. His favorite thing to do is to lock himself in the room and tinker with strange things. He seldom goes out. Such a person should not have seen much, and it stands to reason that it should be impossible for him to recognize the identity of Ota's beastman at first glance.

Moreover, the intelligence also said that Sunan did not have the qualifications of a knight, had not even mastered the breathing technique, and his physique was weaker than that of ordinary people.

But looking at Su Nan in front of him, he has an upright posture, bright eyes, and a full spirit. How can he look thin at all?

What do those people who are responsible for collecting intelligence do for a living?
Can't even do the smallest things!
Mu Zhuo frowned secretly and made up his mind to give those people a good scolding when he got back.
