Chapter 240 Food Stamps
In addition to these important factors, the most important point is that all food supplies here are in the hands of Jiuqi and are completely monopolized by it. There is no second channel for large-scale food supply.

As grain was monopolized by the old Qi and the price was almost fixed, most of the caravans coming and going would not bring grain here to sell.

On the contrary, they prefer to come to Jiuqi to purchase large quantities of cheap grain, and then transport it to other food-deficient areas and sell it in large quantities.

Therefore, the value of food coupons was very stable in the old days, even more stable than gold and silver.

In the context of food shortage in Donnar, if you want to buy food with gold and silver, even if you can buy it, the price will change every day.

As the half-elf put all the things he wanted to buy into the wooden basket and lined up in front of the store.

Belon, who was following behind him, was listening to the half-elf's introduction. Suddenly, a bold idea that was not so good flashed through his mind, and he spoke subconsciously.

"The food stamps are so good, has no one thought of forging them?"

As soon as Belon finished speaking, the whole store fell silent in an instant.

The guests who were originally queuing around left instantly, and a large open space suddenly appeared with the half-elf, Belon and Edison as the center.

The guards at the door of the store also looked at the three of them sharply.

The half-elf slapped his face helplessly and explained to the people around him.

"They are both new here. It's their first time meeting someone like this. They don't know anything. You all know that no one would dare to say that they want to fake something in such an occasion."

After hearing the half-elf's explanation, the guests heaved a sigh of relief and started queuing again as they looked at Veron and Edison, who had innocent looks on their faces and were completely confused about the situation.

However, even after the half-elf's explanation, the guests around them still chose to keep their distance from them, and several guests who were in front of the half-elf even lined up again directly at the end of the line.

Luckily, it was almost the half-elf's turn, and after completing the transaction and paying with an embarrassed look on his face, he hurriedly left the store with Veron and Edison.

After running a long distance and completely away from the store, the half-elf stopped.

He looked at Veron and Edison and said unhappily.

"Do you know what happened to the last person who thought and did this?"

"Don't forget, the owner here is a powerful spellcaster. I heard that he recently killed a greenskin warlord alone on the front line."

"He designed the food stamps himself. Do you think you can deceive such a big shot with your little tricks?"

"I advise you not to commit suicide. If you are caught trying to forge food stamps, all those involved will be executed regardless of whether they succeed or not."

The half-elf handed two maps to Belon and Edison, and finally gave them a few words of advice.

"You can find some shops opened by outsiders. They will accept gold and silver, and provide food and lodging."

"If you really have no food to eat, go out of the south gate and take East Seventh Road. The third village is where I live now. You can come to me and I can give you something to eat. Don't try to cheat. It can really kill you."

After saying that, the half-elf picked up the wooden basket and disappeared from the sight of Belon and Edison.

Veron looked at the map in his arms and then looked at Edison.

Edison glanced at him, then looked up at the sky, and finally, hesitantly said.

"Let's find a place to live first?"

"Row."

Veron nodded and agreed with Edison's idea.

Following the half-elf's reminder, and with Belon and Edison constantly asking passers-by along the way, they soon found a store that served outsiders like them.

The prices for accommodation and meals were surprisingly fair. Although a little expensive, they were much better than those scammers who charged dozens of times more than usual. So much so that when Belon ordered the food, he was a little surprised and said in amazement.

"so cheap?"

"Hey, it's inconvenient for everyone to go out, so we definitely can't sell it at a high price."

The shop assistant nearby said with a smile.

"Tsk, it sounds so nice, but if the price is too high and it's too much of a rip-off, everyone would rather go out to work, get a room and eat flatbread than come here and spend money."

After hearing what the waiter said, the guests at another table laughed out loud.

The clerk didn't show any reaction to this, and continued to look at Veron with a smile on his face and said.

"What would you like to order, sir?"

Veron looked at the guests beside him and said nothing. After taking another look at the menu, he simply ordered some food.

"Okay, I'll send it to you right away."

After dinner, the sky gradually darkened. As the noisy city quieted down again, Perón rested in his room.

He sat at the table, silently wiping his sword.

Thinking back on what he had seen and heard today, his curiosity about Jiuqi and the owner of this territory grew stronger.

Although this was just a newly built city, the situation was better than almost all the cities he had seen outside.

Although I don’t know much about this city, there are obvious differences between it and the cities outside.

It is cleaner and tidier here, and order is still maintained. There are no homeless people or refugees everywhere.

Although there seem to be too many rules here, the people coming and going are still energetic and there is hope for the future in their eyes.

Veron looked at his reflection in the sword, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.

As a knight who grew up in Donnar, Veron traveled north from the south, naturally to fight against the green tide.

Like Edison, he couldn't stand the environment in the Allied Forces where politics was more important than military. Especially since their politics were not very good and they only knew how to fight for power, while the territories under their rule were in a mess.

Therefore, he and Edison left the United Army and chose to go north to join the Locke Resistance Army that had been fighting against the Green Tide.

However, due to their neither high nor low birth backgrounds, although the two men are quite powerful and have reached the level of third-order knights, they have not received high-end knight education and currently can only fight and kill.

Therefore, the two men, knowing that they were not capable of leading the army independently, went north this time to find a good master to join.

Originally, they were planning to go to the front line to check out the situation, but they came too slowly, and by the time they arrived, the Locke rebels had finished the annihilation war and were resting.

So, after asking around, they still couldn't figure out whether the news they had heard was true or false. After identifying who the good owner was, the two felt that no matter how much they heard, it would be better for them to come and see for themselves.

Therefore, the two of them prepared a list first, then served as guards for some fellow caravans and got free food and drinks, and began to travel and observe according to the list.

Roland, who was famous for killing a greenskin high priest, was naturally on their list. After hearing that Roland was going to march east to fight the greenskin orcs, the two of them rushed over.

Roland, would you be a good lord worthy of loyalty?

Belon put away his sword.
