Volume 1 A Thousand Stones Chapter 40 The Key
"When I arrived, you, you, you, follow me in, and the others guarded the door for me, and when they heard my order, they rushed in immediately. Zhao Hu ordered three people and walked in with Sun Miao and Xin Ying.
The gate of this Tianbao Tower is really a dangerous place, he was attacked here twice in a row, and once he even almost killed himself, and it was only in the past few days that he completely flattened the backlash, and now he still can't use the pulse power, otherwise the body will still not be able to stand it, and the damage to the muscles and veins has not been completely eliminated, but the power suppressed in the body has been eliminated and assimilated.
It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, if the body is completely recovered, Sun Miao's strength will definitely be greatly improved, at least in terms of pulse power, it will not be less than ten points.
"Yo, Lord Xiaosao, it's great to see that you're safe and sound, please inside. The money shopkeeper seemed to appear at the door for the first time, bent over, bowed and invited Sun Miao inside.
"Hmph. Before Sun Miao could speak, Zhao Hu snorted violently on the side, and the frightened money shopkeeper seemed to tremble, and a cold sweat broke out.
A feeling of unkindness came to him, and he shouted in his heart that he was wronged. The old man Guan Ling of his own family also searched until the middle of the night that day, and he and others also served tea and poured water, and all kinds of things to serve people were not less, where to reason with himself, in the face of that kind of opponent, he couldn't cope with it in any store, and the old man Guan chased the other party a few streets, and he didn't catch up, and the money shopkeeper was a sad one, so he almost hung the word disaster star on Sun Miao's face.
"Hehe, shopkeeper Qian, I'm here today to discuss with you Tianbaolou. Sun Miao smiled and found a place to do it, and said to the money shopkeeper.
"Although Lord Xiao Xiao is told, as long as I can do it, I will do my best, and I will not hesitate to go to the soup. The money shopkeeper patted his chest and said.
"Well, I want to meet Mr. Guan, and let's discuss it together. Sun Miao was still smiling.
The shopkeeper cried as soon as he heard his face, yes, he can't do this thing by himself, and he has to call the big man behind him to deal with it, then the matter is big, which means that this kid in front of him is not going to slaughter their Qianshi City Tianbaolou branch, but to slaughter the entire Tianbaolou.
"You have to think clearly, I was attacked twice at the door of your Tianbao Tower, the first time you apologized, but the thing you sent was stolen in the middle of the night, I have been wondering, did you steal it yourself? Sun Miao was half coerced and half tempted, and at the same time said with a resentful face.
This is the truth, if there is such a pure color source crystal, if he fights to destroy the sword and shatter the stone, he will definitely have a chance to kill that monk. Well, if he could carve it in advance, Sun Miao finally deceived himself and nodded and added.
"It's not us, you can rest assured, how can we have to come back what we sent out? The shopkeeper patted his chest and led Sun Miao upstairs to the VIP room. It seems that they are also expected, Sun Miao will definitely slaughter them when he comes, after all, the incident happened in front of their Tianbao Tower, and it can be regarded as their guard work is not in place, and more importantly, the old lady of the Xu family has already come.
"Please, but can I invite you to come in alone?" after all, ......," said the money shopkeeper hesitantly.
"Well, Brother Zhao, I'll go in and talk to them, and you guys will be outside. Sun Miao said to Zhao Hu. After all, they are here to slaughter people, if too many people know, they will come to slaughter Tianbaolou, and Tianbaolou will not have to be mixed.
"But you're safe. Zhao Hu also understood, but hesitated.
"Don't worry, Old Man Guan is inside, if something goes wrong, you can screw my head off and kick it as a ball. The money shopkeeper patted his chest and reassured.
"Well, you can wait for me outside, you can go over there and see if there is anything you like, and you can ask them to pay for it themselves. Sun Miao turned his head to Xin Sakura and said.
The money shopkeeper's face was blue and he was about to cry, the consequences of the unjustified disaster were so serious that he even had a sentence in his mind, why didn't you get torn up the ticket? Maybe there are not so many things to tear the ticket.
"Well, be careful yourself. Shinzakura didn't insist, nodded her head, and walked over.
The VIP room is very empty, only a big red wooden table, four chairs on each side, the tables and chairs are very exquisite, like a perfect work of art, each part has a sense of creation, obviously from the handiwork of a famous artist.
There is an old man sitting on the top, the old man is dressed in gray ancient costume, he is holding a carving knife, engrossed in carving a piece of mahogany on the table, where half of the carving has been made, the Buddha statue seems to grow out of the wood, exquisite and flawless, every subtlety is extremely exquisite, fingers, face is as if alive.
Sun Miao couldn't help but sincerely admire this old man's profound skills, unlike himself, who always did this and that at the same time.
The money shopkeeper stepped forward and whispered something in the old man's ear.
The old man stopped the carving knife in his hand, looked up at Sun Miao, smiled slightly, was very kind, stood up, and made a gesture to Sun Miao, please do here.
Sun Miao also sat down unceremoniously, looked at the red Buddha statue carefully, and couldn't help nodding again, it was really a master's handiwork.
The money shopkeeper also pulled out a chair opposite him and sat down.
"You two, I'm not here to discuss today, you have to be mentally prepared. Sun Miao said with his trademark smile.
"Lord Xiao Second, if you have any requirements, just put it forward, what the small shop can do, I will definitely do my best, after all, we are not doing things well in the first place, you want to claim, and we deserve it." Guan Ling nodded and smiled in return.
"Well, I still like to open the skylight and say something bright, give me your purple card. Sun Miao spoke unceremoniously.
"Bang. The shopkeeper stood up immediately, and there was a muffled sound on the table, Guan Ling's hand also shook, and the carving knife that he was about to put down almost slipped onto the table.
The money shopkeeper then shouted: "Impossible, I don't know where you found out, but don't say that I don't have this permission, even if I have, the Zijin card can't be given to you." ”
"Well, why? Every year, the benefits you pass through from the City Lord's Mansion are not millions but hundreds of thousands of gold, right? My brother doesn't care about the last thing, but I take a little bit of the small profit from it, and I'll talk to him about it later, let's have a better relationship, and everyone can sit down and talk about anything else in the future. "Not to mention anything else, from the City Lord's Mansion alone, countless source crystal ores need to be transported to the imperial capital every year, and the transportation is taken over by Tianbao Tower, which is a terrifying benefit, including the source crystal and some other materials sold by the City Lord's Mansion to Tianbao Building, which is a lot of money.
"How can there be so much, Lord Xiao Second, after deducting the cost, we can earn less than 100,000 gold a year, and there are still many places to be touched, and the final profit has become very thin, you have to understand our difficulty. The money shopkeeper said with a sigh.
"Come on, that was a few years ago, right? Now everything is in order, after the big crack more than ten years ago, after so many years, and there is not such a big beast tide, how can there be only such a small profit? Don't tease me, besides, you won't be honest, you don't have to be private with your official identity, right? This blatant tax evasion, don't tell me you didn't do it. Sun Miao shook his finger, as the city lord of Thousand Stone City was in contact with the imperial capital on the surface, such an official identity could attract a large number of hungry wolves, and if he said it, he could scare a group of people, as a businessman, if he didn't take advantage of it, he was sorry for himself.
"Hehe, it is impossible to give you a Zijin card, no matter what the circumstances are. The old man Guan Ling spoke, and the money shopkeeper stopped talking, so he continued to hear: "The authority of the Zijin card is too high, you can borrow 100,000 gold in advance at any Tianbaolou branch without any mortgage, all the cost price of all items, the highest value of the recovery of items, these bright things, and secretly, you can participate in the banquet held by our Tianbao Building, participate in the auction qualification of our Tianbao Building, and so on." In fact, these are not important, what really matters is the identity, representing the identity of the royal family, this point, you must know, the purple gold card represents the royal family. I can give you a black gold card, almost the same permissions as the Zijin card, but a little lower, you know, that's the maximum we can give you. The Purple Gold Card is given to you, if you let the royal family know, not only will we be unlucky, but I am afraid that even the city lord will be gossiped about. ”
"Well, that's right, yes, I admit it. But this is a discount for what I wanted, I need another thing, don't refuse, my brother doesn't know about this card, so you didn't give it to him, I told him that he would definitely help me get it directly, with his identity, you have no reason to refuse him. "Sun Miao is very aware of this, the authority of the Purple Gold Card is only limited to the Imperial Family and the Twelve Emperors, even at the end, this has not changed at all.
But the black gold card is a treatment that the lords can enjoy, of course, the premise is that the lords know and ask for it themselves, in fact, for them, these things can't be said to be of much benefit, as for showing off this thing, it's purely taking off their pants and farting, they don't need to prove anything or show off anything when they go there. Even if it is a beggar's outfit, no one dares to despise it.
But Sun Miao is different, he really needs this thing in an emergency.
"Please let me know. Guan Ling said with an approachable old grandfather.
"I want the key, the key to the dark world, don't say you don't. As soon as Sun Miao opened his mouth, he blocked their rebuttal.
Listening to Sun Miao's words, Guan Ling was also shocked and fell silent, and the money shopkeeper on the side didn't dare to interject anymore, just listened quietly.
"We have, but since you mentioned it, then I also told you that I hope to change things, okay?" Guan Ling paused for a long time before speaking.
"Alas, we are all in the light, and occasionally we will think about going to the darkness to see what ghosts, snakes, and gods are in the darkness. So, sorry, no. Sun Miao was still smiling.
"Alas, you are so young, why do you have to do this? The dark world is not what you imagined, it is filthy and filthy, it will make you not like you are now. You are in the center of the light, why should you contaminate them?" Guan Ling also wanted to persuade.
But Sun Miao shook his head very seriously: "That's what I said, but even if it's in the light, it's not necessarily suitable for my survival." I want a change of environment, or I want to do something else, or they have what I want. Of course, none of this matters, the important thing is that I need it, you have it, can you give it to me. ”
"If you insist, I'll give it to you, but ah, Lord Xiaosao, I'm also an elder, and now I'm giving a serious reminder to the juniors, I hope you can stay away, the dark world, there, there is no good or evil, and the world you know has nothing to do with it. ”
Dark worlds exist in most cities. For example, Thousand Stone City, but Sun Miao can't reach it, because he represents the official and the light. Even Sun Bin can't be eliminated, can't be changed, they maintain the balance of darkness and light. It's just that in Thousand Stone City, the light is too strong, so the darkness is too dark.
But if he went somewhere else, Sun Miao could use the key. In Thousand Stone City, even if Sun Miao holds the key, he will never find any "door" that can enter, and even if he enters occasionally, the "door" will be quickly abandoned. But if they leave Thousand Stone City, Sun Miao can use their power, Sun Miao lacks a lot of things at this stage, the most important thing is time, followed by medicinal herbs, then weapons and all kinds of extremely rare metals.
These metals are the most troublesome, the source crystal ore in Thousand Stone City will reject the vast majority of metal materials, and these metals must not be obtained in Thousand Stone City, because these metals will need to be filed in the City Lord's Mansion if they exceed a certain limit, just like the high-level source crystal, they are strategic resources, and if they are privately hidden, they will even be sentenced to treason and rebellion like the Wei family.
The same is true for weapons, high-level pulse martial arts and spiritual martial arts, even Sun Bin only has a high-level spiritual martial arts in his hands, which was left to him by his father, and these things are so rare that there are only one or two pieces in a city.
When the strongest is activated, it has terrifying power, and can even destroy the world and change the day. Sun Miao couldn't forget the swing of the spirit martial arts in the hands of Qian Jizi, and thousands of thunderbolts fell like a tidal wave, completely tearing apart and evaporating the enemies that several twelve emperors could not kill together. The spectacle of that scene will never be forgotten.
Sun Miao sighed softly and said, "Thank you, but I need to go and see, I want to see other worlds." "Only in the dark world can Sun Miao get what really makes him improve quickly.
Time is getting tighter and tighter, it's been more than two months in the blink of an eye, and there is still a year and ten months to go, I have to improve, improve quickly, if I can't solve the problem of entering the set, then I must use the power of others, I must change all this now, otherwise why should I be reborn this time?
"That's all I can say, you're good at it. We won't admit that you got the keys from us after you take them, and we hope you don't have to tell us when anyone asks about you, which is something we want you to know. After you take the key, in the dark world, anything happens, any accident happens, it has nothing to do with us, I hope you can be clear. Guan Ling said slowly.
"Well, I know the rules, so don't worry. Sun Miao nodded.
Guan Ling slowly stood up, walked to the bookcase behind him, opened it, took out a small square box in the lowest layer, and pushed it to Sun Miao.
Sun Miao took a look at the box, the top of the box is a black card, the card body exudes a metallic luster, Sun Miao picked it up, the weight is not light, it is very textured, and it can reflect a brilliance against the light.
This is the black gold card of Tianbaolou, and there are many unimaginable permissions in Tianbaolou. The Heavenly Treasure Tower in Thousand Stone City only sells some weapons, equipment, materials, and ores. Because Thousand Stone City has only stabilized for more than ten years, it is a small city that has just started compared to other cities. Although the resources are huge, in the eyes of other cities, it is an explosive household. The construction in the city is far from being completed, although Gu Nanchun is working as hard as possible, but the current Thousand Stone City is not only compared with those central fortresses, but also compared with some large transportation cities.
It takes too long to build, and it destroys too quickly.
However, fortunately, the importance of Thousand Stone City can be said to be incomparable, and the reason why the imperial capital was broken is directly related to the destruction of Thousand Stone City. Thousand Stone City is too important to the imperial capital, otherwise how could such a city have two teams of vulture knights? You know, in this world, being able to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance in the dark forest is a terrifying strategic weapon.
The Dark Forest can devour all means of communication except for the spiritual power network of the Psychics, and in such a situation, having a unit that can move at high altitude is simply the winner and loser of the battlefield, and the importance can be imagined.
Thousand Stone City can be said to be the support center of the imperial capital, after losing the supply given to the imperial capital by Thousand Stone City, the formation and defense of the imperial capital are a pile of scrap metal. After the destruction of Thousand Stone City, the most anxious thing was never the nearest Fengtao City, but the imperial capital, but unfortunately, no matter how hard human beings tried, they couldn't get close to the black gate that fell to the sky, and after the fall of Thousand Stone City, no one could get close to it, even the last full force of human beings ended in failure.
Sun Miao sighed and opened the box, which was also a black card, but it was a small mask-shaped, with a texture like wood, but it had a cold feeling when it was started, although it was called the key to the dark world, it was actually just a reusable ticket. With it, you can enter the dark world in any city, of course, Sun Miao's identity can't enter the dark world of Thousand Stone City, because Sun Miao's own dark world is too embarrassing.
Not in the light, but sheltered by the light.
Sun Bin may know about the dark world, but he definitely doesn't want Sun Miao to come into contact with them, and more importantly, Sun Miao has never been out of the library, so he shouldn't know about the dark world.
