I Am A Legendary BOSS

Chapter 29: Merchant Team

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The word ‘poor’ seemed to penetrate every part of William’s life right now.

Even if William had once lived in the Border Town, he didn’t know if there was a gold mine here. After all, he was a player. It was normal for him to pay a little more attention to a mine, but as for a gold mine?

What was the point in paying attention?

Would they have the chance to snatch or go mine...?

However, there was a possibility that a gold mine existed because it wasn’t just a saying that the Blackleaf Forest was a giant minefield.

As long as they could find a gold mine and could completely control it, they would be able to melt their own gold and make their own gold coins. As long as the coins contained at least 90% gold, it would be usable in the entire Legendary continent.

He had to admit, the Border Town was lucky.

The eighty-meter tall natural barrier was the key point that stopped the other human nations from invading them. If they wanted to come up from the top, there was only a steep and narrow cliff path. If a small-scaled army wanted to climb up from there, there would definitely be casualties.

However, even though going up the mountain was hard, it was difficult to go down as well. Apart from using ropes, man-made ladders or paths, they could only take a leap of faith...

After all, the rainbow river had formed long ago.

The waterfall had extremely strong currents and the pool at the bottom was extremely deep, but it wasn’t broad enough with hard rocks lining the side.

Only courage was needed.

With a leap of faith, they would be able to go down the mountain very easily.

As for whether they were dead or alive, it depended on the position they jumped with. Anyway, William had jumped a few times back then, and... he hadn’t died!

However, that was also the problem of the cliff. It resulted in very few trades between the Border Town and the human nations. Apart from the official trade once a month, they could only depend on the traveling merchants.

However, traveling merchants were usually selfish people that only looked at their own benefits. Not only would they search the borders of the human nations for benefits, but they would also appear in the forest plains as well.

The key point was that they weren’t only merchants. They would even take on another character from time to time and act as a bandit.

Curry was a merchant team leader. As a level 41 warrior, he had just entered the middle levels. Leading more than thirty teammates, they climbed the narrow and steep road and, after losing a horse, they finally arrived at the Border Town.

Curry, who had arrived at the top of the cliff, stared at the northern plains ahead. His mood was extremely good, as he got the urge to write a poem. However, it was a pity as he smacked his lips, he wasn’t able to say anything.

“Boss, I heard a group of Elves had come to the Border Town. They should be very rich, right?” The moment he finished speaking, the man laughed indecently.

“Since you know they’re Elves, do you have any ideas? Even if they aren’t Elves, haven’t you heard about the experiences those other merchant teams had when they came to the Border Town?” Curry pursed his lips. After the indecent looking man beside him heard him, he sighed.

They could be merchants but they were bandits sometimes as well, Border Town was where the high-class criminals congregated.

Apart from the few peasants and good citizens that rarely committed crimes... That was right, people who rarely committed crimes could be called good citizens once they came to Border Town. The other peasants were all fierce and mean professionals.

Back then, several merchant teams had taken the risk and come here to do business. Nothing happened in the town since there was a capable and firm town leader to stop all violence.

However, wasn’t it too much to be stopped and looted after they left the town?

As for the merchant teams that dared to resist and weren’t willing to give their goods and money, the weeds around their graves were probably three meters tall already...

Of course.

All of this had happened when the town was just built and because the local peasants had been tricked and fooled by the merchant teams before. This was the reason fewer and fewer merchants now came to the Border Town.

Curry dared to come here because he had got some information that the Border Town had a new Elfin town leader. There was even a large group of pure-blooded Elves that followed him over.

“With the Blackleaf Forest’s pure-blooded Elves present to suppress the town, the security and safety should have improved a lot. Our main goal this time is to develop good relations with them, so we cannot quote too high prices. If we can form a permanent trade deal, we will definitely be able to earn big bucks.

“All of you, follow behind me. Don’t look around and don’t speak. If you’re not behind me no one can protect your lives.” Curry said to his brothers behind him before they headed towards the town.

William stood in the trees, looking at this merchant team from afar. They had already been discovered when they were climbing the mountain. After all, he arranged for his men to keep an eye on all the routes up the mountain.

“Should we ask Odom and the rest to hide now?” Lautner, who was beside him, asked.

“We’re a neutral town, so why can’t Dwarfs be here?” William shook his head, turning towards Nox and said, “Just don’t let them come into the inner parts of the town. Bring them to see me!”

“Yes, my Lord!”

Curry glanced at this group of Elfin warriors that stopped them. He couldn’t help but swallow dryly. Without mentioning the other factors, it was already an eye-opener for him since he rarely saw any Elves.

Let’s not mention what type of good equipment these Elves had. They were really handsome to look at...

Really handsome...

He wanted to...

Of course, all of these were his inner thoughts.

Curry and his group didn’t dare to express it out loud, so they ended up eyeing these Elves secretly.

What Curry didn’t dare underestimate was the Elves’ capability. Just with this Elfin guard called Nox in front of him, he could already feel that he didn’t have the absolute chance of beating him.

As for the other ten handsome and cool Elves, their eyes were shining equally brightly, a strong confidence exuding from within. Curry even had a thought that these Elves in front of him would be able to wipe out his merchant team.

However, all of his nervousness disappeared with a young man appearing in front of him.

William was wearing a fitted purple gown. His black, shiny, long hair rested on his shoulders, his sharp ears exposed from his hair. His eyes shined brightly like the moon. He didn’t have many accessories, making people feel as though he was a spring breeze, making them like him more...

“Hello, I’m the Lord of Border Town, William Blackleaf!” He was carrying a bear cub in his arms. In other words, he wasn’t being too polite and didn’t care too much about getting a good impression from these normal merchants...

However, Curry and his group didn’t dare to let down their guard. Hearing William greet them, they all pat their chests with their right hand, tilting forward slightly as he said, “Greetings, my Lord. May your honor live long!”

“May the Gods be with you!” William smiled slightly.

Curry didn’t seem to care about William’s reply, because his brain short-circuited after hearing William’s name and seeing so many Elfin guards earlier.

He hurriedly formed his sentences as he said respectfully, “My Lord, I am Curry, a merchant from the Black Lava nation. My surname is too inferior, so I won’t say it out loud to dirty your honor’s ears.

“I came because I want to do some business with the Border Town, such as salt, fabric, sauces and even some rare materials. I would even do my best to buy whatever your honor wants.”

When the other members of the merchant team heard these words, they couldn’t help but glance at their leader, as if confused and wondered if their leader was no longer straight.

Did he have to bootlick to this extent?

Did he not know that they would have nothing left from the bootlicking?

William remained silent. He kept observing Curry’s impression points for him. Even he was a little confused about them. He hadn’t even done anything, yet Curry’s impression points for him had already risen to 500 points. What was he doing?

Why did he feel like he had met a pervert...

However, William thought about how polite and respectful Curry was.

He seemed to understand that this guy probably knew from somewhere what his surname meant...
