Chapter 632: Business Booming
Zhou Xue’er almost misheard “sell things” as “buy things.”
But right now, she didn’t care about the details.
She just wanted to spend time with this man.
So, she followed Ling Zhan without hesitation toward the activity area for ordinary soldiers.
Currently, under the renovation of divine architects, Drak City had become the main base for the allied legions.
Reserve special squads and ordinary soldier squads had all relocated here.
As a super city, Drak City’s vast area was more than enough to accommodate the allied legions.
After a discussion among the allied commanders and the reserve special squad captains, they decided to open the newly constructed fortress and Drak City for refugee resettlement.
Over the past few months, with the Blazing Heart Empire invaded by the Takamagahara Ghost Army, most of the eastern region’s citizens had fled to other areas.
Their lives had been difficult, displaced, and homeless.
The allied legions decided to take in these refugees.
As soon as the announcement was made…
Countless wandering refugees flocked to the city.
In times of chaos, human lives were as cheap as grass.
Especially in an empire where identity, status, and class were strictly enforced, commoners were often treated worse than dogs.
Upon hearing the news, refugees with transportation rushed to the city in their mechanical war vehicles.
Under current conditions, every household had mechanical war vehicles for retreat and relocation.
These refugees were once ordinary citizens of the Blazing Heart Empire.
When the Ghost Army invaded, most of them fled in their mechanical war vehicles. Now that the city was reclaimed and refugees welcomed, they naturally returned quickly.
News of Drak City’s reclamation spread rapidly across the Blazing Heart Empire.
This made the marquises, earls, and other nobles increasingly uneasy.
For the day the Ghost Army was repelled would also be the day Duke Assad installed his puppet emperor.
At that time, Duke Assad would undoubtedly purge these nobles, endangering their lives.
Thus, these nobles began racking their brains, thinking of ways to prolong the conflict.
With the influx of refugees and merchants, Drak City had become bustling with life.
After entering the city, the refugees obediently registered their identities and received arrangements.
Anyone who dared commit crimes amidst the chaos would not only be expelled but also executed on the spot.
The allied legions were intentionally restoring the city’s vitality.
Taking in refugees earned the gratitude of the Blazing Heart Empire’s people.
When the Ghost Army invaded…
It was the dukes and nobles who first abandoned the commoners.
After enduring abandonment, war, displacement, and homelessness—constantly fearing death by monster attack—the people had long lost faith in the Blazing Heart Empire.
Now, the allied legions not only provided food and shelter but also ensured their safety, earning the people’s loyalty.
Many citizens even secretly wished, “If only the allied legions could stay here forever…”
The people’s desires were simple.
Enough food, warm clothing, a place to live, and peace—that’s all they wanted.
After all, this wasn’t the stable and peaceful Dragon Kingdom.
Accepting refugees and building goodwill were naturally steps to implement Ling Zhan’s “replacement plan.”
Later, they would support the princess currently trapped in Gewot City, ensuring her cooperation with the allied legions. The citizens would then rally behind her.
Ling Zhan and Zhou Xue’er strolled through the streets of Drak City, observing its gradual revival, their pace slowing.
Ling Zhan donned a black robe and a mask.
Zhou Xue’er, naturally, shed her casual dress and also wore a black robe, with a veil concealing her delicate, stunning face.
She still drew the attention of many men as she walked.
It couldn’t be helped…
Even with her face and figure concealed, the graceful silhouette beneath her robe and her captivating almond-shaped eyes made it clear she was extraordinarily beautiful.
Moreover, most of the transferred soldiers here were recruited from society or the Adventurer’s Guild, making them a rowdy bunch.
Their rough demeanor meant their gazes toward Zhou Xue’er were laced with lechery and intrigue.
Yet, they dared not act recklessly.
Being part of the legion meant adhering to its ironclad rules.
Violators faced severe consequences, ranging from injury and expulsion to execution.
Only strict measures could keep these unruly soldiers in check.
“Wealth and beauty stir the heart.”
When these soldiers saw the black-robed man retrieve a pile of level 50 to 70 blue, purple, and gold-grade weapons from his storage ring with a clang…
Their breathing grew heavy!
The eyes of many ordinary transfer soldiers lit up as they crowded forward to inquire about prices.
Ling Zhan remained silent, leaving Zhou Xue’er to quote prices and handle transactions in her sweet, melodious voice.
This made Zhou Xue’er pout slightly in annoyance.
So, she was just a salesgirl to this guy?
It’s more like a couple!
The man crafts the weapons silently, while the woman sells them.
Bag after bag of Sacred Crystal Stones was collected by Zhou Xue’er and stored in her ring.
Business was booming!!
The small weapon stall was soon surrounded by a large crowd!
It couldn’t be helped…
The weapon quality was exceptional!
No inspection was needed; just touching them was enough for the soldiers to recognize their quality.
Far cheaper than the gear sold by the merchants here!
A level 60 blue-grade weapon…
Merchants charged at least 10,000 Sacred Crystal Stones.
Here, it cost only 3,000 Sacred Crystal Stones!
And the quality far surpassed what the merchants offered! Original content can be found at novel⟡fire.net
Look at the sword’s gleam.
Look at the magical aura radiating from the staff.
Comparing them is an insult!
“Brothers! Why are you still standing around? There’s a weapon stall in the west market selling top-quality, affordable weapons! Hurry up and buy!”
Great products sell themselves.
No need for intentional promotion.
Ling Zhan’s weapon stall quickly gained fame.
Soon, all the transfer soldiers in the west market flocked there.
This led to an unexpected situation.
The once-crowded weapon shops suddenly emptied.
Were left completely dumbfounded!
