Chapter 1491 Thunder Axe City Hall

Thunder Axe City Hall.

Shi Feng's Earth Dragon carriage stopped in front of the magnificent castle. Although there were other players in Thunder Axe City at this time, the NPCs coming and going from this castle were very numerous. Not only were there giant NPCs, but there were also many NPCs of other races.

This magnificent castle was none other than the City Hall, located in the very center of Thunder Axe City.

The entire castle was surrounded by tall walls, with many divine runes and magic arrays engraved on the walls. The defenses were so strong that even Tier 5 NPCs couldn't break them. It could be said to be the safest place in Thunder Axe City.

Before Shi Feng even reached the main gate, the 180th-level Tier 3 NPC guards stopped him.

"Respected Bronze Inheritor, this is an important place in Thunder Axe City. If you want to enter, you need to register first," the Tier 3 NPC guard said respectfully, holding out a magic crystal as he looked at Shi Feng.

"Understood, let's register," Shi Feng nodded.

The City Hall of Thunder Axe City was different from any other NPC city. In other human cities, players could directly enter, but in Thunder Axe City, if a player wanted to enter the City Hall, they had to first become a noble of Thunder Axe City. Only after that registration would they be allowed to enter the City Hall.

The reason for this was that there were magic arrays around the City Hall. If one's life aura was not recorded in the magic array, entering the City Hall would result in being violently attacked and suppressed by the magic array.

The reason for this was entirely because the City Hall of Thunder Axe City was too important. It was more like a treasure vault or a trading market than a City Hall. It contained all kinds of treasures collected by the giant race over a long period of time, and even legendary items could be found.

As long as players became nobles of Thunder Axe City, they could freely trade with the giant race here.

The giant race had lived in Thunder Axe City since ancient times and possessed countless treasures. As long as players had the ability and resources, they could even exchange for legendary items.

This was also the main reason why the vast player base and various forces in God's Domain had a special liking for Thunder Axe City.

In the previous life, several experts from super forces exchanged for legendary items from the giant race in Thunder Axe City, and even more players exchanged for fragments of legendary items.

Of course, it wasn't as if no super forces wanted to risk a snatch, but very few succeeded. Moreover, those few who did succeed were all Tier 6 gods, and they used a lot of manpower and resources, barely managing to snatch one or two fragments of legendary items before escaping alive. After that, they had a falling out with Thunder Axe City, which could be said to be a losing proposition.

Before long, the NPC guard recorded Shi Feng's life aura, and Shi Feng walked straight in.

The entire first floor of the castle's hall was filled with NPCs of various races trading with the giant race. Although Shi Feng wanted to trade with the giant race, with his current strength and resources, he probably couldn't even exchange for an epic item. So he just glanced at it and went straight to the second floor of the castle.

As soon as he entered the second floor hall, the number of NPCs decreased significantly, leaving only dozens of NPC merchants selecting land in Thunder Axe City.

"Respected Bronze Inheritor, do you need any help?" a beautiful elf in overalls walked up to Shi Feng and asked with a smile.

"A senior executive?" Shi Feng couldn't help but glance at the beautiful elf, slightly surprised, but quickly said, "I want to buy some land and high-level shops in Thunder Axe City. Can you recommend some?"

In the City Hall, ordinary executives usually received players. It was really a bit of a surprise for Shi Feng to be received by a senior executive at this time.

Although this beautiful elf was only a 200th-level Tier 3 senior executive, the invisible pressure she brought was very great, not inferior to the Tier 4 magic mentor Whiteman, the governor of White River City. This was also the terrifying aspect of elves: Tier 3 jobs can freely use Tier 4 magic.

"Okay, please follow me." The beautiful elf nodded and then led Shi Feng to the reception room on the third floor.

In the reception room, the beautiful elf quickly took out two lists for Shi Feng, one was a list of land in Thunder Axe City, and the other was a list of high-level shops in Thunder Axe City. There was very little information listed on them. The two added together were less than fifty.

If other players saw this, they would definitely be surprised, because the number of plots of land in any NPC city was more than five hundred, but now they were only given less than fifty. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like the specifications of a neutral super-large city.

However, Shi Feng was instead very happy about this.

Because fifty was already a very high number, Thunder Axe City was very special. Land could not be bought just by wanting to buy it. This also largely prevented the phenomenon of super forces monopolizing the land, giving other forces and players some opportunities.

"The Bronze Inheritor's status in Thunder Axe City is really not low," Shi Feng said with a slight sigh as he looked at the list. "Just high-level shops are giving nineteen choices at once?"

In his previous life, when he became a baron of Thunder Axe City and wanted to buy high-level shops in Thunder Axe City, the NPC only gave him twelve choices.

High-level shops are very common in neutral cities. In fact, they are all kinds of shops opened by NPCs in Thunder Axe City, such as grocery stores, restaurants, blacksmith shops, bars, etc. They are also sold in the Sea of Trees, but no force is willing to buy them.

One reason is that the prices of these high-level shops are very high.

The second is that they are not very useful, because these high-level shops are not used to do business with players, but to do business with NPCs, earning money and other items from them, which is far less profitable than transactions between players.

However, Thunder Axe City is somewhat special, because Thunder Axe City is a resource city. A large number of neutral race NPC merchants gather here, and coupled with the minerals and herbs obtained by the native giant race from the Icefire Mountains, there are more rare items here than usual, and the prices are much lower than in the player market. Therefore, high-level shops in Thunder Axe City are very popular, and they can also be said to be the main channel for obtaining resources from Thunder Axe City.

The reason for choosing to buy at a high price is that renting high-level shops can only bring money and nothing else. Therefore, major forces and players can only grit their teeth and buy them, even if the starting price for high-level shops in the outer area of Thunder Axe City is 20,000 gold...

"No matter how many times I come to the City Hall of Thunder Axe City, I feel like I am a poor person," Shi Feng said with emotion in his heart as he looked at the prices on the list.

Any random one is more than 20,000 gold. Grocery stores in the inner area cost 40,000 gold, and blacksmith shops with more uses cost 53,000 gold. Moreover, these shops are all one-star shops. As far as he knows, the minimum price for two-star shops in Thunder Axe City is 70,000 gold. Two-star shops in the inner area start at 100,000 gold, but in Thunder Axe City, very few two-star shops or higher are sold.

When Shi Feng saw the last line of the high-level shop, the expression on his face couldn't help but be astonished.

"No way! A two-star shop?!"
