Chapter 066 Annan City (2)
With the strength of the Liu family.
There are a few shops in the city of Annan, but it is not very likely to own a manor in the city.
Every inch of land in the city is worth a lot of money, and more importantly, this is not just a matter of money.
One must also have the corresponding power and strength to be able to enclose land in the capital of Annan Province.
By the same token, the families and forces in Annan City moved to Longluo City, the capital of the Li Dynasty.
It is also impossible to own large amounts of land and estates in the capital.
The land outside the city is definitely many times cheaper than that inside the city.
The Liu family and many other families like them purchased land outside the city of Annan and built their own manors.
It can be used as a warehouse and storage place for various materials, and can also provide food and accommodation for tribesmen or guests.
The Liu family's manor is located five or six hundred meters outside the west gate of Annan City. There are many similar manors nearby.
The manor outside Annan City is actually still very safe. After all, Annan City is a provincial capital, and living near the city will not be too bad in terms of safety.
Those who can own a manor in such a place all have their own power, but not many people have the courage to take action in such a place.
Nothing happened that night. In the morning, after the four of them practiced for a while, they went into the city for a stroll together.
Except for Liu Xianghucheng, Wang Jiutai, Lisuo and Xu Sanduo were all visiting Annan City for the first time.
Liu Hucheng introduced Annan City to the three people as they walked.
Liu Hucheng said, "The whole Annan City is square, about 50 kilometers from east to west and from south to north. The east and west sides are markets and shops, and more than half of the transactions in the entire Annan Province are conducted here. The south city is a high-end restaurant, inn, and auction place, and it is the home of small and medium-sized families in Annan City."
Wang Jiu said: "What about the north of the city? "
Liu Hucheng said: "The north of the city is where the real powerful families of Annan City are located. The City Lord's Mansion is also in the north of the city. The largest Annan College is also in the north of the city. It can be said that there are many powerful families and many masters."
Tai Lisuo asked: "Are many big cities similarly laid out?"
Liu Hucheng said: "Yes, as far as I know, most large cities have similar layouts. Only a few cities with special terrain or topography will have different layouts."
Wang Jiu said: "Well, the capital of Xiguzhou where I used to live also has a similar layout."
Tai Lisuo asked, "Xigu City? Is it far from Annan City? Old Wang, do you want to go to Songjiang City?"
Wang Jiu said: "My master is no longer with us, and I have let go of hatred a long time ago. As for my master's family, even if they were not wiped out, they would have fallen apart long ago. Even if I go to Xigu City and can help them temporarily, I can't help them forever!"
Tai Lisuo asked, "You have a bad relationship with your master's clan? Also, does your master have any descendants?"
Wang Jiu said: "How can I put it! Apart from my master, they are a corrupt family that only knows how to enjoy themselves and is very greedy.
Although my master was the strongest in the family back then, the clan leader and elders made things difficult for my master at every turn.
You can say that they are a group of parasites who only know how to suck blood from my master. Do you think I can have a good relationship with them?
My master only cared about cultivation and revitalizing the family. He never married and never had sex with women. He has no descendants. "
Liu Hucheng said: "Alas! What a waste of your master's hard work!"
Wang Jiu said: "Later, my master also saw the true colors of his clansmen and was very disappointed with his family and clansmen! My master once told me that if he was gone one day, I should go out and find another place to live, away from his family and clansmen.
Master doesn't want me to be like him, working so hard for his family, only to end up with no good face and letting those pillar insects take advantage of me."
Tai Lisuo said, "Okay! Then we don't need to go to Songjiang. Let's go around Annan City first, and then go to the capital Longluo City in a few days to see the world."
Wang Jiu said: "Okay, I'll listen to you. We don't have a clear destination anyway."
This is the West Market of Annan City.
It is divided into many markets with different upper and lower case letters.
There are markets that specialize in buying and selling magician supplies and magic materials, as well as markets that specialize in trading various magical beasts and the materials used on them.
There are also markets for various daily necessities and so on.
Each market is divided into different areas, including places dedicated to wholesale and bulk transactions, as well as streets for retail and street vendors.
The four of them strolled around the West Market for a whole day but still couldn't finish their tour of the whole place.
The four of them basically didn't buy anything. The Liu family had already prepared the basic supplies they needed for daily life.
As for other things, the four of them didn't find anything suitable.
However, the four of them heard a piece of interesting news in the West Market: the only auction house in Annan City would hold an auction in three days.
It is said that there will be a batch of Warcraft cubs to be auctioned, including a pair of level seven wind-type Warcraft, the Swift Eagle cubs.
Wind-type magical beasts are already very popular mounts, and flying magical beasts are even more popular.
The wind-type flying magical beast, and the cub of the seventh-level magical beast Swift Eagle, attracted the attention of countless people.
From restaurants and inns to roadside stalls in the market, people everywhere were talking about the upcoming auction.
Tai Lisuo said: "This auction house is amazing! They can even auction off a level 7 monster cub."
Liu Hucheng said: "In fact, in an auction house of Annan City's level, it is rare to see level 7 or higher monster cubs auctioned. This may be a guy without a big power or background but with good luck, who got a pair of Swift Eagle cubs and sent them to the auction house here for auction."
Wang Jiu said, "That's right. If a big power or a big family in Annan City got this Swift Eagle cub, they probably wouldn't auction it off. Even if they wanted to auction it off, they would only send it to the auction house in Longluo City. Even in the auction house in the royal capital Longluo City, this Swift Eagle cub is rare to see."
Tai Lisuo said: "So, won't there be a fierce competition? Will nothing go wrong?"
Liu Hucheng said: "It's hard to say. Of course no one dared to do anything during the auction, but before and after the auction, it's hard to say."
Wang Jiu said, “If someone really wants to take action, they can find the location of the Swift Eagle cub before the auction. That will be the best time to take action. After the auction, the one who can auction off the Swift Eagle cub must be an extraordinary force. If they want to snatch it at that time, it will be a bloody battle.”
Tai Lisuo said, "It seems that Annan City has been in turmoil recently. We are just traveling around. We don't want to get involved in meaningless fights. How about we leave Annan City tomorrow?"
Wang Jiu said: "Yes, it's okay."
Liu Hucheng also said: "It is better to be safe than sorry. It is better to leave this troubled place."
The four of them strolled around for a day and returned to the Liu family's manor outside the west city. Since they had decided to leave Annan City the next day, the four of them did not drink any alcohol.
After a simple dinner, everyone practiced or rested.
There is a Murphy's Law that is widely circulated on the Internet. The meaning is very simple. In simple terms, what you fear will come to you!
What you hope will happen often doesn't happen, but what you least hope will happen is likely to happen.
Wang Jiutai, Lisuo and others did not want to get involved in unnecessary trouble, so they decided to leave Annan City as soon as possible.
However, fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, and things in this world are unpredictable!
The presence of a level seven magical beast, the Swift Eagle cub , is enough to make many people take risks in Annan City.
So after the auction house obtained the Swift Eagle from the auctioneer, it secretly hid the Swift Eagle cub.
The place where the Swift Eagle cubs are hidden happens to be in a manor outside the west city of Annan.
It is only a few dozen meters away from the Liu family’s manor.
