Soon, the boss served the two dishes and wine. Looking at the two dishes, Lu An and Yang Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The two most expensive dishes were comparable to Level 6 pills. However, they were the simplest steamed prawns and braised fish. However, the smell was not bad. Lu An and Yang Mu both picked up their chopsticks and tried it. Indeed, it was okay.
Lu An poured wine for himself but did not give it to Yang Mu. Lu An looked at the menu engraved on the wall. There were no specific names on it at all. It was just some poems. After thinking for a while, he asked, "The two most expensive dishes are steamed prawns and braised fish. What are the other dishes?"
The boss also sat at their table and said, "It's still the same two dishes. We only sell these two dishes."
As expected …
Lu An bitterly smiled. The reason why he asked was because he remembered that the people at the other two tables also ate these two dishes. It seemed that the price was different. It was all spent on information.
Lu An placed the three Level 6 pills on the table. The boss immediately kept them and said, "Since you are so generous, I won't be stingy. Ask as much as you want. I will answer everything I know."
"I want to ask about the situation in Qizhou." Speaking of business, Lu An put down his chopsticks and said, "Where is the city that we are in now? How powerful is it?"
Hearing Lu An's question, the boss wasn't surprised at all. Basically, when outsiders first came here, they would ask the same question. He replied, "Qizhou is divided into six pieces. In each piece, there will be a city. In other words, there are only six cities. In order to ensure the safety of each city, there will naturally be rulers. And the reason why these rulers could take over a piece of land was naturally because they used their strength to fight for it. "
Lu An frowned and asked, "What are the benefits of taking over a piece of land and building a city? Isn't it a waste of effort? "
"Of course not." The boss said, "If you want to do business in the city, you will have to pay taxes."
Lu An was startled when he heard that. He didn't expect that there would be tax laws here.
"War is temporary. However, as long as you take over a piece of land, the harvest will be endless. For example, if I open a tavern here, I will naturally have to pay taxes. " The boss continued, "Not only that, you can monopolize many things in your own city, which will greatly increase your profits. Aren't there many ways to make money? "
Lu An nodded. Although he didn't know how to do business, he understood this simple logic.
"Every city has a ruler, but in order to maintain the prosperity of the city, they will not stop others from forming forces in the city except for hostile races." The boss said, "However, these forces have to listen to the ruler obediently. Otherwise, they will definitely be eliminated or even killed."
Lu An noted these things down and asked, "What about the city we're in?"
"This place is called Dripping Moon City," said the boss. "The ruler is the Dripping Moon clan."
Dripping Moon Clan?
Lu An had never heard of this name before. Yang Mu also looked confused and asked, "What is the Flowing Moon Clan?"
"The Flowing Moon Clan is a very special clan." "They were born and grew up under the moonlight. They like the moonlight very much, so they like to move at night. They are a clan that can fly, just like Dragons, but their shapes are more beautiful. At night, they emit the same light as the moon, like a stream of light in the sky. "
Hearing the boss's description, Lu An and Yang Mu were very surprised. This was the first time they had heard of such a clan. However, Lu An wanted to know more, so he asked, "Is the Flowing Moon Clan a top-tier clan?"
The boss was stunned for a moment before he laughed and said, "The rulers of the six cities are all top-tier clans."
Lu An's body trembled when he heard this. Indeed, the strength of the Outré Prefecture was extremely great.
"You might have only heard about the classification of clans, but you don't know how to differentiate them." The boss said, "Only third-tier clans can enter here. The so-called top-tier clans refer to clans with many Class 9 Mystical Beasts. First-tier clans refer to clans with Class 9 Mystical Beasts, second-tier clans with Class 8 Mystical Beasts, and third-tier clans with Class 7 Mystical Beasts. "
Lu An was enlightened. He really didn't know how the third-tier clans were classified. Suddenly, he thought of something. According to this classification, the Temi people should belong to the top-tier clans, right?
"However, this classification requires top-tier experts. Thus, even in the Outré Prefecture, there are many Class 6 Mystical Beasts. Most of them are Class 6 Mystical Beasts, but there are also some Mystical Beasts with lower strength." The boss said, "As long as you stay in the city and don't go out, your safety shouldn't be a big problem."
Lu An nodded. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Are we humans also a top-tier clan?"
"Of course." The boss smiled and said, "Otherwise, how could we occupy the Eight Ancient Continents?"
"How about the Outré Prefecture?" Lu An asked again, "Are there any cities occupied by humans?"
"No." The boss answered directly and said resolutely, "None of the places like the Outré Prefecture are occupied by humans."
"Why?" Lu An asked suspiciously.
"The reason is simple. Basically, all the Mystical Beasts hate humans." The boss shrugged and said, "We humans have occupied the Eight Ancient Continents. We have taken all the heaven and earth treasures that can only be found on the continents. Any other clans that enter the Eight Ancient Continents will be eliminated. Since they hate us so much, how could they let us occupy the places outside the Eight Ancient Continents?"
"In other words, if humans want to occupy a place, all the Mystical Beasts will unite and attack them." The boss said, "Small continents like the Outré Prefecture are meaningful because of the Mystical Beasts. If we humans occupy them, it's useless. So, why should we have a conflict with those clans?"
Lu An frowned. If that was the case, humans wouldn't be safe in the Outré Prefecture.
"The Mystical Beasts need us to sell them the heaven and earth treasures that can only be found on the Eight Ancient Continents. That's why they hate us so much." The boss said, "They need us and they hate us at the same time. It's a kind of suffocating pain."
Lu An was shaken. His eyes focused. "So, they need some places to vent their anger?"
"Smart." The boss smiled, looking at the young man with appreciation. "I advise you not to leave the city. Once you go to the vast desert outside the city, humans will be slaughtered."
"However, we humans are smart. We won't go out and let them kill us," said the boss. "Moreover, there are too many clans here. Even the third-class clans are the same. The conflicts between the big clans are constant. That's why this place has a special place for people to enjoy."
Lu An knitted his brows. "Arena?"
"That's right." The boss's smile widened. "Every city has a massive arena. To protect the peace of so many clans, it's better to give them a place to settle their grudges. The rules of the arena in each city are different, but they're all the same. However, when the Mystical Beasts fight, the city can't bear it. That's why it's restricted. "
"The simplest way is to set up a formation in the arena to suppress the power of both sides. It's fair," said the boss. "That's what the Dripping Moon City does."
Lu An was shocked. He didn't expect there to be such a thing. Maintaining a huge formation to reduce the strength of the contestants. This kind of thing could only be done by the top clans.
"Thank you, boss." Lu An said. "I'm done with my questions."
"Among the people who came to ask me questions, you're the one who asked the least." The boss said. "You've spent so much money. I don't want to take advantage of you. Why don't I tell you one more thing?"
Lu An was startled. "Please speak."
"Although we humans can't occupy the city, there are still many forces here to do business." The boss said. "I don't know much about other places, but in the Dripping Moon City, we humans only have one force. It's called the Guang Hua Group. If you want to join the force, you can try to see if they accept people. "
Lu An noted the message down and cupped his hands. "Thank you, Boss."
