- You can see buildings and houses carved out of whole rocks or mountain walls everywhere in Eskil City. This is a city built on the mountains. The most common blue-white color on the mountains here is green. Rock has become the first choice material for all buildings, and many people even dig houses and various buildings directly on those large pieces of diabase.
Those houses and buildings are as small as a house of more than ten square meters on the street, but as large as those high-rise buildings built with reinforced concrete in other cities, they are nestled between mountains and can be as high as hundreds of meters.
Unlike those buildings and houses built with reinforced concrete, the shapes of the houses and buildings carved out of stone here are all the natural lines of the rocks or mountains themselves, without much trace of artificial modification. If not As for the doors and windows installed on those buildings, from a distance, you can hardly tell the difference between them and ordinary boulders or mountain walls.
These buildings give the city a strange and rough feel.
¡°Corresponding to this strange and rough style is the strong commercial atmosphere and barbaric atmosphere here. On the streets here, the signs of trading companies can be seen everywhere. Similarly, even if it is pouring rain outside, people carrying various weapons can be seen everywhere on the streets. As long as they are men, most of them will be carrying a very conspicuous weapon. , even many women and children had swords hanging on their bodies. This was the first time Zhang Tie had seen such a city.
In the heavy rain, Zhang Tie's figure quickly darted through the less busy alleys and streets in Eskil City. Because it was raining, he ran without attracting anyone's attention. In such a situation Due to the weather, it is normal for a traveler who first arrived in Eskil City to want to find a shelter or a place to stay in a hurry.
Zhang Tie, who knew that he had been targeted by the people from Demon Snake Island, would not just run around recklessly like this, but wanted to find a place to change his appearance first.
Just over ten minutes later, Zhang Tie found a barber shop in a narrow street that was not busy.
Because it was raining, there were very few people on the street outside, and there was not much business in the barber shop. A male barber in his forties sat boredly under the sign at the entrance of the shop and looked through the glass window at the strings of water flowing from the eaves. Zhu was in a daze.
Zhang Tie, who came to the door of the store, shook off his waterproof poncho and walked into the store.
"Do you want to hide from the rain? It doesn't matter. You can just find a seat and sit by yourself. If you want to read the newspaper, the newspaper is on the table. You can just get it yourself. But the newspaper is from three days ago!" Seeing Zhang Tie Coming in, the barber said to Zhang Tie quite casually.
Zhang Tie smiled, took off his poncho and the bag he was carrying, and placed them behind the door of the barber shop, "Give me a haircut!"
"Do you want a haircut?" The barber in the shop glanced at Zhang Tie and suddenly became energetic. He immediately asked Zhang Tie to sit in front of the mirror and put a haircut cloth on Zhang Tie's body.
"What kind of haircut do you want?"
"Just be natural, don't be too unconventional, but it should look significantly different from the current one. I like freshness!" Zhang Tie said casually.
"Well!"
Under the hairdresser's flying scissors, in a short time, the hairstyle on Zhang Tie's head was much shorter and changed, looking brighter and full of youthfulness.
Zhang Tie looked in the mirror and nodded, "Can you dye your hair here?"
"Can!"
¡°Then dye my hair again!¡±
¡°Your blonde hair looks great!¡±
"Well, I want to change the color to make it look fresher!" Zhang Tie scratched his head and said. It is impossible for people on Devil's Snake Island to have his current photos, and he is not a famous person. There are even fewer people who know him here. Therefore, the key for people on Devil's Snake Island to find him is to describe his appearance, such as Talking about his appearance, hairstyle, etc. Sometimes, to make the people on Devil Snake Island unable to find him, or to make it more difficult for those people to find him, you don¡¯t need a complete makeover, you just need to make some of your appearance features visible. Just look a little different from before. This is the simplest and easiest way to make yourself disappear in the crowd, which has been proven through countless practices.
"You young people like to be unconventional. Tell me what color you want to dye your hair. The hair dye here comes from the petals and rhizome juice of the Thousand Color Flower unique to the ice and snow wasteland. It is very expensive to dye your hair once. It costs at least four silver coins! Including the money you just paid for your haircut, that¡¯s four silver coins and fifty coppers!¡±
"no problem!"
"Then what color do you want? I can dye your hair in any color here."?Everything can be prepared! "
Zhang Tie thought about the people he just saw on the street. They seemed to have more brown and gray hair, and then said casually, "Then let's go with brown and gray hair!"
¡°It takes about two hours to dye your hair!¡±
"It doesn't matter, I have plenty of time now!" Zhang Tie smiled, casually picked up a newspaper in front of the mirror and started reading. The barber began to make hair dye for him.
When the barber started coloring Zhang Tie's hair, Zhang Tie saw an eye-catching message on the fourth page of the newspaper "Eskir Daily"¡ª¡ª
¡ª¡ª"Animal tide threatens the herb gatherers in the gray hills, while the fur traders are gearing up"
As the beast tide that had been silent for a long time erupted again, groups of iron-toothed hyenas also began to wander around the gray hills. In the past two weeks, Ade, who has been occupying most of the medicinal materials business in the gray hills, More than forty of the herb collectors of the Les Merchant Group on the gray hills have died tragically due to attacks by iron-toothed hyenas. Some of the herb collectors of other merchant groups on the gray plains have also disappeared. According to witnesses, , traces of large groups of iron-toothed hyenas were found in the areas where the missing herb collectors passed. More than one herb gatherer who returned alive claimed to have been attacked or followed by a hyena. In some villages near the gray hills, news of missing people and livestock also came
The news of the beast tide on the gray hills caused the prices of snow ginseng, golden polygonum, red grass, bright sand, blood tribulus and other medicinal materials to rise to varying degrees in the Eskil Herbal Exchange this week. According to Ace According to someone from the Kiel Herbal Medicine Exchange, with the recent changes in the situation on the mainland, the trading of medicinal materials in the ice and snow wasteland continues to be booming, and the demand for various medicinal materials has increased significantly. If the beast tide in the gray hills is not curbed, , then the income of many business groups will be affected.
While many people in the Eskil Herbal Exchange are worried about the beast tide, the fur traders are all smiling. The fur of the iron-toothed hyena has always been the best raw material for processing high-quality leather armor and high-grade armor linings. Recently, For one month, the supply of iron-toothed hyena fur also showed a trend of being in short supply.
¡The Adelais Merchant Group is now reaching an agreement with the Eskil Herb Exchange and some fur traders to recruit pioneers and wandering warriors to the Gray Hills to deal with the beast tide.

Zhang Tie's eyes glanced over the newspaper. Even the barber standing behind him did not notice which piece of news Zhang Tie was looking at. After reading the news, Zhang Tie remained calm on the surface. , but there was an urge to jump up in my heart - ha, it seems that the ice and snow wasteland is indeed a good place. I just came here and saw such good news! I don¡¯t know how the iron-toothed hyena¡¯s seven-power fruit tastes. Beast tide, hehe, I like it

Two hours later, the rain stopped. Zhang Tie, who had changed his hair style and color, left the barber's room after dropping five silver coins. After finding a deserted place, he casually put on his clothes as The waterproof poncho with the pioneer logo, the pioneer backpack and sleeping bag were stored in the Black Iron Castle, and then he took out an ordinary long sword from the Black Iron Castle and put it on his back.
For Zhang Tie, his identity as a pioneer was just a legitimate cover for his arrival in the ice and snow wasteland. Since this cover was no longer useful and would instead increase the risk of exposing himself, Zhang Tie naturally did not cling to this temporary identity. The reason for not letting go.
After doing all this, Zhang Tie only had an ordinary long sword hanging on his waist. He looked exactly like a young wandering warrior. After asking someone about the location of Iron Bear Street, he stepped forward. He walked leisurely towards the location of the Adelais Merchant Group.
Facts have proved that the two small measures Zhang Tie took to conceal his identity in the past two hours were extremely necessary, because he did not expect that there were two people following him at the pier instead of just one. . Two-person stalking is a safer and more sophisticated stalking technique. One person responsible for stalking keeps a close eye on his target, while the other stalks his companion from a distance. One of the advantages of such stalking is It is not easy to expose oneself, and even if the second one is exposed, the whole army will not be wiped out in one fell swoop or there will be no one who can deliver the news.After knowing that Zhang Tie had killed two ninth-level Round Table warriors on Demonic Snake Island, the two guys who were ordered by Demonic Snake Island to keep an eye on Zhang Tie in Eskil took this safer and safer approach. Experienced tracking skills.
After the guy who was lucky enough not to be killed by Zhang Tie found out that he had lost Zhang Tie, he thought of the terrible punishment of Devil Snake Island for those who could not complete the task. He gritted his teeth and pushed Zhang Tie into a bigger one. In trouble
When the rain stopped, a team of policemen from the Eskil City Police Department who received the report came to the alley where the guy killed by Zhang Tie was as if they were facing a powerful enemy (To be continued.
