[800โ small รท say โ net .], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Nanyang City is only a small city, but there are close to 500,000 people, and most of them are monks!
In the land of Zhongzhou, there are hardly many civilians, because ordinary people will definitely not survive here.
It's not about how harsh it is, how much the law of the jungle eats the strong...... This high price alone is enough to starve nine out of ten ordinary people to death!
Dian Feng and the others wanted to go to the imperial capital, but Nanyang City did not have a teleportation array that went directly to the imperial capital, and at most they would be teleported to the next level of the big city.
The city of Zhongzhou is divided into four levels: the imperial capital, the imperial city, the divine city, and the small city from top to bottom.
Nanyang City is the smallest small city, and only the Divine City will have a teleportation array to the imperial capital, but the frequency and time of teleportation every day are also strictly controlled. Only the Emperor-level Ancient City can activate the teleportation array at any time and teleport people to the Imperial Capital. ใ
"It's almost sunset, the last teleportation array to Jiuyang Divine City today will be activated in half an hour, we have to hurry, otherwise we can only wait for tomorrow morning." Tianhua said to everyone.
These times are strictly controlled!
The group came to the central square of Nanyang City, and almost all the teleportation arrays of each ancient city were set up in the center of the city, and the same was true of Nanyang City.
At this time, it was already the end of the day, the sun was setting, and it was almost dinner time.
However, in order to catch up with this teleportation array, everyone did not eat dinner and lined up here.
"One, two, three...... Tianhua squinted, staring at the person in first place, and then counted them one by one, counting Chen Feng, who was the last of the ten of them, "...... Forty-nine, hey, we're in luck!"
"What are you counting for?" asked Norikaze.
Tianhua smiled lightly: "Hehe, this teleportation array can only teleport a maximum of fifty people per trip." The last of us was also in the forty-ninth line, and it looks like we can all catch this last train. โ
Everyone nodded knowingly and smiled with satisfaction.
After a while, Tianhua's words were not finished, and a soldier wearing battle armor came over and pointed to the young man who was in the fiftieth rank, and said, "Okay, he is the fiftieth, the person standing behind him, please be early tomorrow!"
The young man standing behind Chen Feng showed a happy smile, but the people in line behind him were a little disappointed. But it's not too frustrating, after all, it's okay to leave tomorrow.
"This city guard uncle, can you have a convenient personality, my brother who lives in Jiuyang Divine City is dying, I will hurry up and send him a life-saving pill!" Suddenly, a young man standing fifty kilometers away ran over and said to the soldier in armor.
However, the city guard shook his head coldly and said, "The teleportation array can only carry fifty people at a time, this is the last shift today, we are also going home from work, you can come again tomorrow." โ
"But, my brother won't make it to-night!" said the young man, with an expression of begging despair on his face.
The city guard, who was wearing a helmet and couldn't see his face clearly, snorted coldly: "Since you know that your brother's life is in danger, why didn't you come earlier and catch up with the previous morning teleportation array?!"
This kind of thing, this city guard has seen too much, and there is such a farce almost every day.
Some people say that the old man in the family has only one breath left and hopes to be accommodating; some people say that he is hunted down and killed, and he does not dare to stay in Nanyang City for a moment; some people even say that one of his relatives is a certain big man in the Tiandi Mansion, the imperial capital of Zhongzhou, and asks for privileges to be given to him......
There are endless excuses, but they are almost a routine, nothing more than wanting to be unruly.
Rules, in the eyes of this city guard, are very important and should not be easily violated. The city guards stationed here were given a warrant from the Nanyang City Lord's Mansion, and without the city lord's order, they couldn't let one more person go.
This is their job, and if they don't comply, they will likely be fired by the city lord.
Even, it's dead!
Because of the teleportation array, due to the various restrictions of the material, the scope of the formation, and the person who arranged the array, it can only teleport up to fifty people at a time.
Before this city guard came here, the steward here was not him, but the squad leader of another city guard.
The team leader privately accepted bribes and released two more people during a teleportation, making a total of fifty-two people teleporting together.
The captain thought it was seamless, and it was a trivial matter, and no one would pursue it.
However, when teleporting, there was a problem, after the Void Gate was opened, fifty-two people entered, but the receiving formation on the side of Jiuyang Divine City did not receive fifty-two people!
These fifty-two people, all missing, attracted attention, and then an investigation was launched.
The result was that there were two more people, and the passage built in the void gap could not be carried during the teleportation, causing the fifty-two people to break away from their original tracks and be completely lost in the vast void gap!
Lost in the void means death!
That squad leader was taken to the vegetable market in the center of the city and beheaded for public display! His head still hangs there, and only white bones remain.
Since then, no one has dared to let one more person pass, and the person in charge of each teleportation will count it over and over again, for fear of making a mistake!
"My lord, I beg you, just let me go! my brother really can't survive tonight, this is not an excuse, I can swear by my origin!"
"Okay!" The captain of the city guard snorted coldly, the only thing that showed his armor was a pair of eyes, and he said coldly, "I don't care if you say it or not, I still want to live for a few more years, and I must not let one more person go!"
If something happens, the squad leader who beheaded the public before is his example!
"However, if anyone is willing to give up his place to you, I can let you exchange it. The captain of the city guard team changed his tone and said in a slightly gentler tone.
He is not a hard-hearted person after all, as long as he does not exceed the number of fifty, the rest is not a principle, and he can be accommodating.
"Thank you, sir!" the young man was overjoyed, and a pair of longing and hopeful eyes glanced at the top fifty people.
This look was very sincere, and the wind moved his heart of compassion, thinking that he could let the young man go first, and he was not in a hurry anyway.
However, a middle-aged Taoist standing in front of Dian Feng and the others spoke first and said with a smile: "Little brother, I can give you a seat." โ
"Really, thank you ......"
"However, the premise is that you give me thirty high-grade spirit stones, how about it?" The middle-aged Taoist narrowed a light in front of his eyes, he felt that this was an opportunity to make money, this kid was in a hurry, and he could use this to knock him out!
Dian Feng frowned, and couldn't help but glance at the middle-aged man, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Thirty top-grade spirit stones, riding this formation once, only cost ten top-grade spirit stones!
Dare to charge this price, it's just a clear robbery! Not to mention this kind of thing, Dian Feng thinks it's not good to rob while it's hot, but it's not easy to say anything.
However, to the surprise of Dianfeng, there were still people who raised the price.
"Hey, little brother, give me twenty-five, and I can give you a place, how about it?"
The young man's face showed embarrassment, he was just a twenty-eight boy, and the purchase of medicine had already cost him almost all of his net worth, and he really couldn't come up with more money.
