Chapter 791: See the New World Again
In the next two weeks, Lin Shuo and Su Dongdong were running around.
Of course, with Lin Shuo's style of doing things, he will definitely not treat himself badly.
The business of this hunting team was different from the past, in the past, in the wilderness, the logistics materials had to be transported from the rear, mostly by air.
And the location of this work is in the town, and the logistics materials are available everywhere, which can be solved on the spot, and the key is to rely on money to buy.
There is no shortage of money, Lin Shuo can only recognize it whether it is RMB or US dollars, and he doesn't recognize it here, and people only recognize the local currency of Daxizhou.
The currency of the Great Western Continent is gold, silver and copper coins, and the styles are not the same between the three empires, but the weight is the same, and they can also be exchanged for each other.
When the group temporarily settled in the Earldom of Xilan before, Garcia gave some coils, and the earl, who was born as a scholar, deducted and searched, and gave ten silver coins, with a purchasing power equivalent to 10,000 yuan.
Garcia's second brother, Nemea, who was a generous man, heard that Lin Shuo was going to go outside for a walk, and directly gave a bag of gold coins, a total of fifty.
This is equal to 500,000 yuan, and gold coins are not available to civilians, ordinary people will not use 10,000 denominations to live, one is that they usually can't earn so much, and the other is that it is not easy for others to make change when they spend it.
Not to mention gold coins, there are very few silver coins, which are all symbols of nobility.
Lin Shuo went out with his wife this time, spent gold coins, and was served as a noble lord wherever he went, and his life was still very comfortable.
And the carriages and horses here are not the same as those of the European Middle Ages.
Lin Shuo originally thought that it would be tiring to walk back and forth with more than ten earls, and it would be better if there were horses to ride.
However, riding a horse Lin Shuo is not an amateur, he learned it when he was a child, and he knows that this thing is not only bumpy, but also crotch-rubbing.
It's okay if you ride it often, there are calluses on the inner thighs, but Lin Shuo, a person who has never ridden a horse since he learned to ride a horse, will have to suffer a little from flesh and skin after riding a horse for more than ten days.
Of course, Lin Shuo, a big man, doesn't care about the pain of his flesh and skin, the key is to bring his wife, Lin Shuo feels sorry for his wife and thinks that this thing is not good.
After arriving in the central town of the Beishan Earlcounty, Lin Shuo originally wanted to hire a carriage, but he was overjoyed when he inquired.
It turned out that in the market on this day, there happened to be a heavenly horse from the Bright Moon Empire in the west transported by sea for auction, no more, no less, exactly two.
Pegasus, in short, is a horse with a pair of wings, and is said to be one of the more precious flying mounts in the Great Western Continent.
For this Lin Shuo couple, there is no doubt that they send pillows when they are sleepy, and flying in the sky not only has a good vision and fast speed, but also does not bumpy, so they will not hurt their daughter-in-law's white and tender skin, otherwise the cocoon is easy to blacken.
So Lin Shuo entered the auction house of the Beishan Earldom and followed the price increase.
Why is it just to raise the price instead of buying it directly, because he has inquired about it, and the Pegasus is a rare thing, and the normal price is usually more than a hundred gold coins, and it is only one horse.
Lin Shuo currently has fifty gold coins in his hand to buy two horses, which is wishful thinking.
Therefore, the head of the hunting gate didn't plan to buy it, but he went to the auction house to raise the price first, and raised the price as soon as possible to let the auctioneer drop the hammer, and then whoever bought the two Pegasus, Lin Shuo stared at this unlucky guy to rob.
Things worked out well, but something went wrong in the last link.
The one who bought the two Pegasi for three hundred gold coins in the auction house was Nemea's military lieutenant, a ninth-order archer named Lunn.
The troops in Nemea's hands, that is the inheritance of the old duke, a hundred elite warriors, at least the strong seventh-order level, generally at the eighth-order, the strongest are five ninth-order warriors.
These elite warriors are headed by two people, one is Hercules and the other is Lunn, representing two factions.
Most of the people like Hercules are either down-and-out nobles or simply commoners, and these people are in a hurry to make meritorious contributions and work hard, and they are reused by the old duke and the current duke, so Hercules is a military commander.
And the other small group of warriors represented by Lunn are themselves small nobles, originally barons, although they do not have much territory, they do have a manor, and they usually have no worries, and they also have a lot of savings in their hands.
They follow the boss to fight and do things, which is more casual, and they often don't contribute to work, so even if Lunn's strength is not inferior to Hercules, he can only be a military deputy marshal.
The two gangs usually don't deal with each other, but now that Hercules died in the hands of Lin Shuo, Lunn took over the position of military commander of the Duchy of Mia, and he was very grateful to Lin Shuo's gang in his heart.
Coupled with Lin Shuo's identity as an imperial envoy and a celebrity around the emperor, he must not be offended by a small baron.
So when Lun En saw that Lin Shuo and his wife wanted these two heavenly horses, he didn't need Lin Shuo to open his mouth, and directly offered them with both hands.
So Lin Shuo finally mustered up the courage to rob a robbery, but he didn't succeed.
Of course, things can't be collected in vain, so Lin Shuo wrote another blank check, saying that he asked Lun to wait at home, and the judges of the Imperial Bow Master Association would soon go to Lunen's manor. This ninth-order archer is not far from obtaining the title.
Lun En thanked him for his kindness, led the horse for Lin Shuo, walked a full five kilometers, and personally sent Lin Shuo and his wife out of town.
After leaving the town to say goodbye to Lunen, Lin Shuo naturally went to heaven immediately, and he couldn't help it.
The people of Daxizhou are simple, and these people are too easy to deceive.
But not long after this idea swirled in his mind, Lin Shuo found out that he had been deceived.
This thing of Pegasus is not as evil as they said before, and it can soar for nine days and travel thousands of miles a day.
This thing is biologically evolutionarily assembled, and its body structure is not really suitable for flying.
Therefore, it is true that Pegasi can carry people to the sky, but mainly to temporarily cross some terrain obstacles, so as not to make a long detour, but in fact they can't fly far.
On the whole, this thing's flight ability is not much stronger than that of a chicken, and it can flutter a few times in the sky, but it won't be long before it falls.
So it's still the same old problem, mainly running on the ground, not only bumping, but also rubbing the crotch.
But the matter has come to this point, so there is no way to praise and disparage, hurry.
Don't go to the Earldom of Xilan first, Garcia is more difficult to deal with, so he has to put it in the end, Lin Shuo will take the road to the south first, the Earl of Nanling over there is the fourth sister of Artemis, and the two sisters have had a good relationship since childhood.
......
Before a two-week tour of the Principality of Mia, the head of the Hunter Gate made a phone call to Kunlun Park.
What Lin Shuo meant was that judging from what he had learned about the situation in the Great Western Continent recently, although the political system and technology here were relatively backward, because of the strong overall strength of the cultivators and the existence of the 'Heavenly Master', the Great Western Continent actually had a strategic deterrent capability against the other continents of the earth.
Most of the people in the Great Western Continent, from the emperor to the commoners, still have a cognitive understanding of the other continents of the earth in ancient times, and do not think that the other continents of the earth have strategic deterrence capabilities against them.
This caused Daxi Continent to be in a state of preparedness as a whole after discovering that the Heavenly Master Barrier had disappeared.
This is the meaning of sharpening the knife to the pigs and sheep, that is, their political system is backward and the state apparatus is inefficient, so the mobilization is very slow.
Of course, the other continents of the earth are sending advance teams to the Great Western Continent, and the three major empires of the Great Western Continent must be doing the same, but their means of communication are very backward, and it will take a long time for the news to come and go.
And with the continuous mastery of intelligence from the top of the Great Western Continent to the rest of the earth, it stands to reason that their state of preparedness for war should stop.
However, the problem is that Daxizhou is different from the rest of the earth, they have not experienced the Cold War period of the earth, so the top management may not have a sense of strategic deterrence.
And even if the top level has a sense of strategic deterrence, they understand that the rest of the planet is not what it used to be, and both sides have deterrence capabilities and cannot go to war lightly. But as far as their political system is concerned, the emperor's constraints on the lords below are very limited, and the people below must go to sea to fight and expand their territory, and the emperor can't control it.
The history of the European Middle Ages has proved that the feudal system of government and the expansion of territory by foreign wars are inevitable needs.
Therefore, Lin Shuo predicted that if the situation was allowed to develop, a large-scale intercontinental war was unlikely, but a small-scale local war should be difficult to avoid.
Of course, with the current position of Daxizhou, if you want to fight, it will also fight with Europe or America, and it has nothing to do with China.
However, now that the whole world is still fighting against the beast xenomorphs, from the perspective of the international alliance, it is obviously inappropriate for the Chinese side to let this situation go.
And Lin Shuo's team was temporarily trapped by private matters in Daxi Continent, and because he wanted to find his mother Yun Yuexin, he might have to stay in the Principality of Mia for a long time.
It is natural for a son to find his mother, but in the international situation, it is easy to catch up with the changes in the situation.
Therefore, Lin Shuo took the initiative to let the Kunlun Mountain reorganize a group of people to come to Daxizhou, as the advance team of the Chinese side, to carry out state exchanges with the three major empires of Daxizhou, to avoid further deterioration of the situation, and at the same time to lay out the interests of China in the future.
Lin Shuo usually concentrates on business and rarely makes such suggestions on state affairs.
As the head of the Hunting Sect and the representative of the Huaxia cultivation circle, he has the title of deputy national level at the top of Huaxia, so once he says such a thing, he will immediately go up to heaven to listen.
As a result, it was a hit with the high-level management, and the high-level management had wanted to do this for a long time. It's just that considering that the overall cultivation strength of Daxizhou is strong, ordinary people can only bring hot weapons if they go up to protect themselves, but the power of this weapon shows that the people of Daxizhou definitely don't understand, and there is a possibility that it will be regarded as a heresy to intensify the conflict, so it can only be sent to people in the cultivation circle.
And the domestic cultivation circle is now the main Lin Shuo and Qin Xiangyang, the two deputy national-level figures, Lin Shuo is already in Daxizhou, the high-level takes care of Lin Shuo's face, and then entrusts other cultivators, this is not appropriate, at least ask Lin Shuo's opinion first, as a result, Lin Shuo lost contact a while ago.
Now that Lin Shuo has not only resumed contact, but also taken the initiative to bring up this matter, it would be even better.
As the leader of the Kunlun Plan, the No. 3 leader directly called Cao Yusheng, saying that after discussion, the high-level leaders completely agreed with the suggestion of the head of the Liemen Sect and asked the Kunlun Mountain side to act according to Comrade Lin Shuo's wishes.
As soon as Cao Yusheng heard that this was a national task, what else did he say, hurry up and find someone.
The old mastermind thought about it and found that in terms of candidates, there were not many people who were suitable for this task.
At present, the three masters of the Hunting Gate, Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun, have been sent out, and only Zhang Jin is left.
So Zhang Jin must be counted as one, this is the team's combat power guarantee.
It's just Zhang Jin's brain, it must be enough to deal with the beast xenomorph, but if he rushes into the crowd and fights with people, he will be okay with the girl, and the others are not very good.
Therefore, He Yongchang must follow, the head of the He family is not only strong, but also has a good brain.
After the two cores are selected, the rest has to be considered comprehensively.
Lin Shuo's cousin Lin Hu has now also entered the Nine Realms realm, Lin Shuo once instructed Cao Yusheng to give this kid more opportunities to exercise, and he has the Lin family's wind and position identification skills, which is suitable for playing in an unfamiliar environment, counting.
The above three are all cultivation-based, and it is very common for the Great West Continent to refine gods, so Tang Lingyu, who can be released from the divine thought barrier, must follow, so that the team is safer.
In addition, since Zhang has entered, his two wives have to arrange for one to go over, otherwise Zhang Jin, this kid, will bring another daughter-in-law back, and the old Zhang family will be restless. Miao Xiaoxian is pregnant, and Chu Hongchen is quite good as a hunter in the scout position of the Strong Nine Realms, and it is also counted.
It's almost the same, and there is still a lack of a master who is good at borrowing things to provide long-distance support.
Miao Xueping is of course the best candidate in terms of combat power, and Yang gossip is very strong, but this woman Cao Yusheng knows it very well, she is chattering, and her seniority is high, neither Zhang Jin nor He Yongchang can suppress her, so change it to Jin Wenlan.
The head of the Jin family is now also the Jin family's inheritance of the Nine Realms Great Perfection, not only the secret weapon means are endless, but also the swordsmanship is very strong.
After the list was drawn up, Cao Yusheng looked at it and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The old mastermind likes to think about the worst in advance.
This is another elite of the Hunting Gate, on the whole, it is not weaker than Lin Shuo's team, if there is an accident on the Great West Continent, the two teams are all wiped out, then the Hunting Gate, which has finally recovered in recent years, will return to the pre-liberation overnight.
With these things in mind, Cao Yusheng sent the list he had drafted to his son Cao Mian, and asked the Hunter to be responsible for contacting these people.
The father and son of the Cao family have not worked together in recent years, and they are far away, after all, one is the dean of the academy and the other is the master of the hunting house, and the main responsibilities are different.
It's just that this time it was the task that the No. 3 leader personally gave to Cao Yusheng, and he could only cook on his behalf and draw up the list for his son first.
As a result, as soon as the email was sent, the phone on the table rang, and Cao Yusheng picked it up and listened to it, it was the voice of his son Cao Mian:
"Come to my office, old man. ”
"Stinky boy, no big or small. Cao Yusheng became angry when he heard this, "I'm a father, you're a son, isn't there something you came to my office to discuss?"
"Old man, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, hurry up!"
After Cao Mian said this, he hung up the phone.
Cao Yusheng couldn't come back to his senses after holding the earpiece for a long time, thinking that this kid had stiff wings.
So he angrily asked the driver to prepare the car, and rushed to Cao Mian's office in a hurry, thinking that he had to teach this kid a good lesson.
As a result, the old mastermind ran into his son's office murderously, and before he could open his mouth to scold, he looked at the satellite real-time high-definition map that only Cao Mian's office has, and the others were stupid all of a sudden.
Because on this satellite map, there is another continent.
Unlike Daxizhou, this continent is in the Pacific Ocean, very close to China.
