1032 The new look of Snow City (1)
The first rays of the morning sun appeared, and Snow City welcomed a new day.
When the warm sun shone on the streets of the city, the city that had just experienced war was already bustling with activity.
Compared to before the war, this place seemed to have become more prosperous, and there were more people coming in and out. If it were not for the broken city wall, almost no one would believe that a brutal war had just happened here not long ago.
However, looking at the flowers blooming around the city wall, it was clear that it had recovered from its injuries.
The extraterrestrial demon race was notorious on the continent. They were described as people who killed without blinking an eye, loved to eat human flesh, and could almost stop children from crying at night.
However, after experiencing the initial fear, the residents of the xueman territory had gradually adapted to the life of the otherworldly demons.
In fact, as time slowly passed, the residents of the xueman territory were surprised to discover that these otherworldly demons, who were said to be incomparably fierce and killed without blinking an eye, were actually not that terrifying. On the contrary, they were getting along very well with the residents of the xueman territory.
As long as the residents of the snow-covered territory lived their lives obediently and did not cause trouble, the Holy Dragon City Warriors would be like friends. They would take the initiative to greet you, and occasionally chat with you.
On normal days, they would also trade with the residents of the xueman territory, buying some local specialties and food from them. The prices they offered were also very generous and fair.
Initially, the residents of xueman Hill thought that they would be robbed. At first, they were not used to it. However, after experiencing a few similar things, they slowly got used to it.
Due to the Holy Dragon city’s large-scale purchases, the food crops and goods that the residents of snow covered peak harvested also had a market, causing their income to increase greatly. Their previously poor lives had actually improved significantly without them knowing.
Unconsciously, the residents of the city slowly let go of the fear and wariness in their hearts, and began to live in harmony with the Holy Dragon city’s soldiers.
Of course, there were still many people who were hostile to the Holy Dragon City. They believed that the otherworldly demons had ulterior motives and that their kindness was just a disguise.
The Holy Dragon City did not care about these people’s attitudes. As long as they did not cause trouble, they would not take the initiative to find trouble with them.
Of course, the biggest change was still in Snow City.
Ever since the Holy Dragon City had occupied Snow City, many of the old systems had been abolished. With the removal of these exorbitant taxes, the residents of Snow City felt that the burden on their shoulders had been reduced.
Since they did not lack gold coins, the Holy Dragon City no longer imposed taxes on the merchants in the city. Instead, they encouraged them to collect all kinds of rare heavenly and earthly treasures, which the Holy Dragon City would then purchase at a high price.
Many of the merchants in Snow City profited from this, and the gold coins in their pockets increased!
The merchants were profit-driven to begin with. After confirming that the Holy Dragon City was fair in their transactions, they began to become more proactive and began to search for the materials they needed according to the Holy Dragon city’s requirements.
When they found out that Holy Dragon City needed soul stones the most and offered an extremely high price for them, the merchants of Snow City all racked their brains and began to collect soul stones at low prices, then sold them to Holy Dragon City at a high price.
However, in the current Snow City, there was not a single Soul Stone left, as they had all been taken by the Holy Dragon City.
The nobles of Snow City who had participated in the battle to defend the city had ransacked all of Snow city’s soul stones overnight because they had to pay the ransom.
In fact, because they could not gather enough soul stones, these rich and powerful people could only use various methods to inform their friends and relatives in other places to help collect soul stones and send them to Snow City.
It was also because of their arrival that the news of the otherworldly demons purchasing soul stones at a high price had spread in a very short time.
In order to obtain huge profits, there were many people who traveled long distances to bring soul stones to Snow City.
When they had successfully reached Snow City, they had indeed received a generous reward that they had never expected, which made them ecstatic.
The merchants and adventurers who did not want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune immediately formed groups and began to travel between Snow City and other parts of the continent, trying to find ways to collect soul stones.
In an extremely short period of time, the name of Snow City had once again spread throughout the entire continent. However, this time, it was not because of the invasion of the otherworldly demon race, but because of the countless gold coins that could be earned here.
Those who were full of adventurous spirit and thirst for wealth saw this place as the capital of hope and tried to change their lives here!
At this moment, merchants and adventurers from the xueman region were gathered in front of the Holy Dragon City gate. They were carrying heavy bags and waiting to enter this new City of Hope and wealth.
They were full of anticipation, hoping to immediately start the deal with the highest rate of return in their lives.
As far as the eye could see, the road in front of the city gate had already been occupied by these people, and the road had been completely blocked.
As time slowly passed, the gates of Snow City slowly opened. A group of Holy Dragon City Warriors in black armor walked out.
Seeing these cold and mighty warriors, the chatter outside the city immediately died down, and everyone’s eyes fell on them.
The Holy Dragon Warrior glanced at the people who had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time. He ignored the curious and probing gazes and gently waved his hand.
All kinds of people quickly rushed into the city gate after seeing the hand gesture.
The newcomers still held a trace of fear and wariness towards the otherworldly demons, but those who had been to and from Holy Dragon Snow City many times, or those who were residents of Snow City, already had some understanding of the Holy Dragon city’s soldiers.
As they passed through the city gates, some of them even smiled and greeted the Holy Dragon Warriors.
The Holy Dragon City soldier nodded in response to the greetings of the people entering the city, although his expression was cold.
The newcomers were all very surprised. It seemed that this situation did not match their impression of the otherworldly demons.
Of course, no one dared to ask about this matter. They just followed the continuous flow of people and quickly entered the city.
A lively scene immediately appeared in the eyes of the people who entered the city.
All sorts of people were shuttling back and forth on the streets. There were residents of Snow City, Warriors from Holy Dragon City, and adventurers from all over the continent.
They walked out of taverns, shops, and inns one after another, with a trace of anticipation on their faces. They were working hard for their goals.
Along the way, many new things that had never been seen before appeared in every corner of Snow City. They were obviously things brought by the otherworldly demons.
The merchants and adventurers with soul stones and heavenly treasures, after asking for directions, all headed towards the city center.
The Holy Dragon city’s official location for purchasing and trading was in that area.
When they finally arrived at the location after passing through several streets, they found that there were already many people gathered there.
One by one, soul stones that were shining with brilliant light were taken out by these people. After counting and evaluating, they were all purchased by the Holy Dragon City.
Immediately after, piles of shiny gold coins were carried over by the Holy Dragon City soldiers and handed to those people.
Both parties were quite satisfied with this kind of trade.
