The city made of huge stones looks like it has a rough smell, but it is not high, that is, three or four meters high, the rough and simple gate is open, no one guards the door, no one collects taxes to and fro, everything is very free.

This was convenient for Xie Qian, but he didn't have a single silver coin on him.

With excellent appearance and tall figure, Xie Qian was like a luminous body as soon as he walked into the crowd, attracting many envious or jealous eyes around him.

"Hey, young man, where are you from, come have a drink!"

Someone in the restaurant next to him greeted him, it was a big man with a hearty smile, he had already experienced what kind of simplicity people here are, Xie Qian did not refuse his kindness, he walked over and sat down directly, and said: "I haven't had lunch yet, if there is food, it is much better than wine!"

"Haha, you're such an honest person, come on, I'll ask you. As he spoke, the big man turned his head and asked for food, and the food here was very simple, and two pieces of bread were sprinkled with something about seasoning.

Xie Qian had already eaten enough of these breads, and when he saw it, he frowned, the problem of eating habits, most of the people here eat these, naturally, and meat.

"I don't have that much money to treat you to meat. The big man thought that he was not satisfied with the lack of meat, so he said this, first picked up a loaf of bread and took a big bite, "The jam tastes good too." ”

The outside is sprinkled with coarse salt, which is salty, and the inside is filled with sweet jam, which fortunately is not very much, and it will not be too unbearable to eat.

The important thing is that Xie Qian is indeed hungry.

It's really embarrassing, it's not good enough to eat and drink in vain, look at it from another angle, such a person is really annoying, but this person is himself.

"Thank you, it was delicious. Xie Qian said and gulped down the bread, but his eyebrows still frowned slightly unconsciously, making it impossible to judge from his expression whether he liked it or hated it.

"Young man, where are you from and what are you going to do?" Dahan ate quickly, and began to ask after eating, looking very curious about Xie Qian.

Xie Qian was already very accustomed to the concept here, and at first the villagers had the same attitude towards him, curious about his origin, so they invited him to eat, and then talked to him, hoping to learn something new and interesting from him.

This attitude is not surprising, some kings will spend thousands of dollars to buy a story, and they will pay some food in exchange for fresh information, which is also a normal exchange.

Xie Qian had long thought about how to settle in the city, if he didn't want to be caught as a slave and sent to the Colosseum for fun, then he had to get enough attention, different from physical strength or appearance.

Knowledge is what only a few people with wisdom will care about, and most people, what they want to know is not so boring truth, and good stories can get more attention.

"I came from far away, and I want to go to the ends of the earth to find the lost pearl......"

Xie Qian has too many stories in his head, he can make up some without thinking, in order to be more identious, he said that he is a merchant who travels from south to north, unfortunately lost his merchant ship and team, as well as the most precious goods, fortunately, he knows that in a place at the end of the world, he can find the pearl of the mermaid.

"Merfolk, my God, are you talking about merfolk? such a terrible being. ”

Unconsciously, there were already some people around, Xie Qian took another sip of water, and then lifted the kettle, it was already empty, and someone who still wanted to listen to it replaced him with a pot of water, and even filled the cup in front of him again, but he didn't want to drink it, and he wasn't ready to talk about it anymore.

"Lies are repeated, the tears left by the mermaid will not become pearls at all, no, no, the mermaid will not shed tears at all!"

I don't know where the little boy jumped out of the crowd, the clothes on his body were obviously much stronger than the surrounding linen pieces, at least he could see the fit of the cut, and there were two samurai-like servants beside him.

When the lie was pointed out, Xie Qian was not afraid, he smiled slightly, and said: "The mermaid will shed tears when there is love, tears of love." ”

"What a dreamy feeling, tears of love. ”

"yes, there must be a more touching and beautiful story, can you tell us about it. ”

The people around him are not willing to let Xie Qian go like this, for these people who live in isolation, the stories of the gods are too far away, and the stories around them are too boring, only these stories from far away, or places that they may not be able to set foot in in their lives, will make people willing to fantasize about it.

For example, the blue and mysterious sea has always been a source of fantasy.

The sun was slanting westward, and it was already very late, Xie Qian took another sip of water, thanked the one who poured the water, and said: "It's too late, poor and poor traveler who has lost everything, and now he hasn't found a place to live, so he really can't talk about it anymore, otherwise his dinner will not be settled." ”

"What a poor young man, stay in my tavern, and I'm waiting to hear the mermaid's story. "The chubby tavern owner was the first to speak, and his little eyes were full of light, and he was able to attract so many people, and his business was good.

"I'll invite you to dinner, eat the best meat, and you'll finish the story. ”

Someone immediately followed the interface and couldn't wait to hear the story.

Xie Qian glanced around at the people around him, he really didn't expect the storytelling effect to be so good, he originally just wanted to get some help from the big man who took the lead in reaching out, but he didn't expect to trigger such an "Internet celebrity" effect.

"I also want to listen to stories, you follow me back and tell me stories. ”

The little boy was almost squeezed out of the crowd, but fortunately, the two samurai around him were very powerful, and the long sword hanging from the other party's waist looked a little cumbersome, which may also be the reason for their strength.

Xie Qian thought about it and agreed to the little boy's words, in this regard, the little boy walked back with his head held high like a little rooster who had won a fight, while the others retreated with some regret.

"I'm afraid I'll never hear such a good story again. ”

"I never knew that mermaid tears could turn into pearls!"

"yes, is there a place like that? The trees are full of pearls and gems......

People were reluctant to leave Xie Qian, still talking about the things he had just talked about, the distance gradually narrowed, Xie Qian's spiritual power could no longer be heard, he took it back, leaned forward, and found that the road he was walking led to the center of the city, the palace where the king was.

Don't doubt that although the Boulder City is rustic in name and substance, it is indeed owned by a king, and this king, who is said to have been ripped through the earth by the will of God, and who cares so much about whose land it is?

Before there were any other invaders, this was the king's bloodline.

This is really a simple and crude enclosure for the king.

Equally simple and crude was the palace, the only difference compared to the other buildings in the city was that it was larger, with guards standing guard, and the rest, it was no different at all.

The whole is a world of earth and stone houses, and it is impossible for any white marble pillars to suddenly appear, so what magnificence is completely invisible, but the garden inside is still quite pleasing to the eye, and those flowers and plants make the ordinary stone pillars have a quaint feeling.

The king, who was drinking fine wine, seemed to be a little drunk, and fell on the blanket spread among the flowers with a big belly, and there were fruit bowls and wine jugs around him, and the beautiful woman fanned him in light veils, and smiled at them calmly when she saw them coming.

The little prince, oh, should be called the little prince, woke up the king, very violent "noise", he directly grabbed the king's beard, and dragged it up fiercely, such a force is about the same as pulling his hair, the king woke up, sleepy eyes and asked: "Xia Se, what is the matter with you?"

He asked, and with a belch, a not-so-pleasant smell came out of his mouth, and he let go of his hand, and the king's head hit the ground, even if there was a blanket, it was not so soft, he woke up a little, rubbed his big red nose, picked up the flask at hand again, and after taking a sip of wine, he asked, "Why did you come back?"

"Father, I want him to tell me stories every day. ”

Shasser's request was straightforward.

"Ahh The king's mind was probably not so clear, and he followed Xia Se's finger to look at Xie Qian, who was standing on the side, "Ah, what a beautiful young man, you say, yes?"

The women who were questioned smiled and nodded, and some of them bluntly agreed, and the garden was filled with laughter, like a sea of joy.

"In that case, let's make you an earl, ah, what's your name?"

So said this the king lay down again, and this time there was a beautiful woman sitting on her knees, and she used her thigh as a pillow, and he lay very comfortably, and his eyes narrowed pleasantly, as if ready to go on to his sweet dream.

“...... Xie Qian, my name is Xie Qian. ”

Xie Qian was stunned for a moment, and replied without bending down, however, the king didn't pay any attention to it as if he hadn't heard it.

Satisfied, he left with the people, he felt that his request had been met, and the king did not care at all, and what was the big deal about a "count" who had been casually sealed.

Xie Qian was a little uneasy at first, how could he have such an identity so easily? This was simply ...... compared to the difficulty he thought of

It wasn't until later that he realized that he still didn't know much about the world, and that the other kings weren't much better than the wayward king, not to mention, the count without a fief might not be as good as the guards with a reward, what was there to be happy about, he still had no money, but he got a place to live, three meals were served, and he had clothes that fit a little better than a piece of linen in line with the status of an earl.

It's really a big upgrade, faster than expected, and, moreover, dramatic. 166 Reading Network
