Chapter 52: I've finally returned to the city, Lord Demon King.

In the bright sunshine, a Jon horse led an ordinary carriage along the road. Although the carriage looked very ordinary, the coachman was not sitting in a human, but a cute white creature, who looked like a magician's devil.

Although the magician's devil has various uses, the only one who can be used as a coachman is probably Mona.

Oz and his group were riding in a carriage and heading south along Guanlu. They occasionally encountered some unopposed robbers and orc cavalry. Fortunately, Oz and Sashara were strong enough, so they were all in danger along the way.

Finally, after a long journey, the carriage finally arrived at the gateway city to the Duke of Golden Rose in the south: Holder City.

Holder City is a large town located at the junction of the valley plain and the ironwood forest. As an important commercial city connecting the south of the kingdom, there are red wine and grain from the southern Golden Rose family, various minerals and alchemy materials from the Western Fengxi family, various high-end magic items from the royal city, etc. The merchants traveling around the kingdom have brought a lot of business opportunities and money to this place.

However, since the royal city was destroyed by a dragon, the trade route to the capital was cut off. The orc invasion not only threatened the trade route to the north, but also caused a large amount of farmland to be destroyed, and eventually led to a large number of refugees entering the gateway city to the south.

Because there were too many refugees coming from the north, which greatly threatened the city's security, the lord of Holder City issued a curfew order not long ago. The refugees who had no place to go that night had to camp outside the city.

When Oz and his group arrived in the city of Holder in a carriage, they saw the tall walls and the refugee camp located outside the north gate.

Mona was driving a carriage and was stopped by soldiers outside the gate of Holder City.

Oz looked through the window and looked at the situation outside, then opened the carriage door and jumped out.

After Oz left the carriage, Sashara naturally didn't want to stay in the carriage and get along with Weier and his daughter. Therefore, Weier also jumped out of the carriage.

"I finally arrived at a city with living people." Sasara raised her head and looked at the guards standing on both sides of the city gate.

On both sides of the road, refugee camps were built in a mess in the forest. Oz and his group of carriages were parked alone on the road. On both sides of the city gate in front, two soldiers wearing half-body armor were stretching out the spears in their hands and blocking the way of carriages.

At this moment, a tax officer walked over with a notebook. The tax officer walked to the carriage, opened the carriage door, looked at the Weier and his daughter in the carriage, and then looked at Oz and his group with a strange expression. Both Weier and his daughter and Sashara's outfits were not like ordinary people, but Oz was wearing ordinary linen clothes, which was completely inconsistent with the three ladies in the same team.

The tax officer's eyes made Oz a little nervous.

Due to the destruction of Billy City and its great relationship with the Oz family, Oz is somewhat worried that he and Sashara will become wanted criminals in the kingdom.

But what made Oz feel thankful was that the tax officer did not seem to regard Oz and his group as wanted criminals. The tax officer came over and spoke in an official manner: "Register and pay the city tax!"

Oz asked the tax officer: "How much does it cost to enter the city?"

"Each person has one gold coin, and the carriage is also one gold coin. There are five gold coins in total."

"So expensive!" Oz was shocked by the amount.

The tax officer looked at Oz coldly and pointed to the refugee camp outside: "If you don't want to pay, stay outside the city!"

Oz looked back at the refugee camp outside the city and frowned slightly.

Although Oz felt that the other party was suspected of extortion, Oz and his group were not short of money, so there was no need to argue over this little money. Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Oz finally paid the tax on entering the city.

After paying the city tax and completing the registration, Oz got on the carriage and sat next to Mona. Then, Mona drove the carriage and entered Holder City.

When entering the city, Oz took a look at the wanted order posted on the walls on both sides of the city gate. What made Oz happy was that although there was a wanted order from Luka on it, Oz and Sashara's avatars did not appear, and even Mrs. Erin's avatars did not appear.

Oz touched his chin: "I don't know if it's because the wanted order has not arrived here or for other reasons. Maybe he should ask someone for information after entering the city."

As the group passed through the city gate, a prosperous scene appeared in front of Oz.

The spacious streets are filled with a wide variety of shops located on both sides of the street, but the sad expressions on people's faces are somewhat incompatible with this prosperous scene.

"Sir Demon King, where are we going next?" Mona asked Oz at the location of the carriage driver.

"Go to find a hotel to stay in." Oz said lightly.

At this moment, the window of the car behind Oz opened, and Mrs. Misia's voice came from it: "Master, if you don't mind, you can go to our Chamber of Commerce to live in the local branch."

"Oh? Your chamber of commerce has a branch here?" Oz turned his head and looked at Mrs. Misia, whose face was exposed from the window.

"Yes." Lady Misya showed a shy smile like a girl on her face, "The branch has an independent courtyard, enough for us to use."

"No problem. Then you can lead the way."

When Mrs. Misia was very happy to hear Oz agree: "Okay. Go straight down this street..."

Under the instructions of Mrs. Misia, the carriage stopped shortly afterwards in front of a shop called "Snow Magic Store".

This is a large magic shop with three shops. The overall decoration is white, giving people a very neat feeling. In a transparent floor-to-ceiling window, many magic props and alchemy materials are neatly displayed, and their prices are marked below.

Oz took a look at the prices of those materials and unexpectedly found that the prices were not expensive, and some materials were even cheaper than when he bought them at the Silver Leaf Crust Alchemy Store!

When the carriage stopped outside the magic shop, Mrs. Misia gently stroked her chest and tried to calm her leaping heart. For some reason, Mrs. Misia found that as long as she stayed next to Oz, her heart would be beat faster and she could not stop.

Woo~ It seems that I was completely conquered by my master. Madam Misya's face was a strange blush, she pushed open the door of the carriage and slowly walked off the carriage.

Weier stroked her heart that was also beating faster, looked at her mother with a complicated expression, then looked at Oz, pinched her fingers, followed behind Mrs. Misya, and walked out of the carriage.
