Chapter 1044

Li Ruanyu frowned and said, "You kid must have some problem. Why are you so eager to get out? Did you commit some crime and want to flee to hide?"

"Nothing like that!" Zhao Chi waved his hands repeatedly. "I just want to do some buying and reselling."

"Oh~ I get it. You want to go sell Ultra-Bright Fire Oil?"

Zhao Chi was shocked: "How do you know about Ultra-Bright Fire Oil?"

Zhao Chi wasn't actually going out to sell Ultra-Bright Fire Oil — the profit wasn't high, and it wasn't easy to carry.

He wanted to go out and sell silk stockings.

Raw materials for silk stockings had already piled up in large quantities.

Gu Qing drank huge amounts of water every day, producing massive quantities of urine to spin silk.

So he had a large stockpile of silk stocking raw materials.

Besides, silk stockings were very thin — they could fit in the system space, very convenient.

That was his real purpose.

But he was still surprised that Li Ruanyu would know about the Ultra-Bright Fire Oil.

Li Ruanyu laughed and said, "Hehe, last night I spoke with Elder Zhao. While discussing the matter of transferring you, he also told me your recent information, including the Ultra-Bright Fire Oil. But don't worry, I'll keep it confidential for you."

So that was how it was.

Li Ruanyu said, "If that's the reason, I understand now. As long as you're not trying to flee from a crime, that's fine."

"Of course not…"

"Alright then. If you're going to sell fire oil, you can travel with my merchant caravan. But for now we only go to Dark Night City, twice a month. Is that okay with you?"

"Dark Night City? That's great! No problem, I can do it!"

As long as he could get out, it didn't matter where.

But hearing the name of that city still made him feel delighted.

Zhao Chi knew Dark Night City — it wasn't a human city, but a city of the Dark Elves.

It was located southwest of Snowfield City; one had to cross the Setting Sun Mountain Range, and then you'd arrive.

|————Snowfield City|

|——Setting Sun Mountain Range—|

|Dark Night City————|

That place hadn't yet been affected by the war, so trade was stable.

On this point alone it was much better than the cities the Zhao family merchant caravan used to go to: Sky Peak City and White Grass City.

But what needed to be noted was that Dark Night City was very chaotic inside.

Although it was a Dark Elf city, many races lived within, all sorts of factions were deeply entrenched, and the relationships were extremely complicated.

Quite a few fugitives were hiding there, and the resistance army also had a base there.

Before, Zhao Chi wouldn't have been willing to go there — he would much rather have gone to a human city.

But now things were different.

As long as there was no war, everything else wasn't a big problem.

Li Ruanyu also stressed: "Dark Night City isn't one of our human cities. When you get there you must behave yourself. Even if you suffer some losses, you have to endure them. Can you do that?"

"I understand. Don't worry."

Li Ruanyu nodded: "Alright, there's one last thing. What is it?"
