82. Purple City

I found a journal from the pile of dead people, it turned out that these merchants were from the El Dorado, going to the land of fire to trade, but encountered a sandstorm on the way, the whole army was wiped out, and this person who wrote the diary seems to be the last to die, at the end of the log, there is a text, but only half written:

"The sandstorm has lasted for two days, and most of the people who have traveled together have died, although we have abundant food, but we can't stop the power of the sandstorm, the hot sand has torn off a layer of skin from me, I know that if this continues, I won't live long, and Dr. Chen is also dead.

The only thing I can't worry about now is my wife and daughter at home, maybe they will wait for me after I die...... If anyone could see our bones, I hope to bring the gold we earned this time to my family, and God will bless the well-wishers. ”

"It's noon, and someone is dead, and I know I won't last long, the shadow of death has enveloped me, and now I can feel that my lungs are full of sand, and every breath brings a knife-like pain, and I feel like I'm going to die......"

However, the journal stopped here, only a few pieces of hazel bloodstains, I excavated in the place of the corpse for a while, only to find a box of gold, it is rumored that the currency of the El Dorado is only gold, and no silver can pass here, I opened the box, but found that there was a pill on it, this pill was packaged in a red brocade box, it seemed to be very precious, and there was a jade statue on the side of the elixir, it was only the size of a thumb, but the carving was very fine, perhaps because it was stored in the brocade box, so it was safe and sound。

"Are we going to take him to the Golden City?" Xiyu walked over and looked, and the corpse showed an unbearable expression.

I closed the box: "He has been sleeping in the desert for ten years, let's not disturb his sleeping soul, since we have drunk their water, it is only natural for us to do this, and our destination is also the capital of the Golden City, the Purple City." ”

After ten days, I finally left the desolate Gobi, bought two good horses at the post station, and finally arrived in Zijin City after another three days.

The walls of the Purple Gold City are as high as in the legend, looking up, at least more than 100 meters in size, and the walls are golden, obviously caused by gold plating, at a glance, even the guards are wearing all the same gold-inlaid armor, holding silver swords and majestic, because the texture of silver is harder than gold, and it is reasonable to use silver as a weapon.

I entered the city in the clothes of a merchant, and used the pass of the dead merchant, and as soon as I entered the city, I realized that the pass had expired, but the guard did not embarrass me, after all, I had quietly stuffed the guard with a gold coin.

This is the universal currency of El Dorado, the gold coin.

El Dorado is the richest country in the world, and I walked through the bustling streets for a while, and all I saw were nobles in silk and satin, all with their eyebrows raised, and they looked at me like beggars.

Later, I learned that the status of merchants in the El Dorado was the lowest, because merchants went from place to place, and the money they made was the difference in prices in various places, compared to those rich people with a lot of money, they were simply people from two worlds.

With the help of the information in the journal, I found the residence of the dead merchant, but now it was a brothel, and I was very tired of the women with heavy makeup soliciting customers upstairs, and Xiyu followed my ass even more worriedly.

Because of the relationship between Long Wu, the three of me are very eye-catching, I walked into a teahouse, and I have already inquired to know that there was originally a lonely mother and daughter here, and then the family moved to a rich family to work.

Where there are rich people, there are really poor people, I said in my heart, it's just that the poor people don't come out to make a difference, they are all running for survival, and one of the major features of Purple City is the mercenary club, as well as various guilds, most of the guilds have a crescent moon and a pattern composed of stars, this I have seen, it is the symbol of the Deep Blue Alliance, that is to say, the power of the Deep Blue Alliance is all over the Purple City, not to mention the rest of the El Dorado.

There are three major families in Zijin City, namely the Li family, their family is the highest status, because the head is a relative of the emperor, the king of the Golden Kingdom is also surnamed Li, the second is the Xi family, the Xi family is the leader of the Senlan Alliance, the master Ruyun and the Li family are also allied, the third is the Huang family, but the Huang family is the lowest status, they are responsible for small merchants all over the country, because of the relationship between the number of people, they also narrowly squeezed into one of the three families of Zijin City.

The others are some inconsequential small families, this is a city that is divided by the family, I thought, of course, the second thing to come to Zijin City is to have a good meal, Zijin City is a beautiful water town, and the edge of the sea, naturally rich in seafood, when I enter the food street, a staggered fresh fragrance caused my saliva to flow down, looking at my pig brother, Xiyu also covered his mouth and chuckled, as if he saw a different me.

I walked into a small restaurant, just the dishes ordered eighteen dishes, and a bowl full of seafood and fish steak soup, the fragrance spread all over the world, Xiyu is also a big index finger, after all, every day in the desert Gobi eat dry steamed buns and dried meat pieces, she has long wanted to try different umami, at this time she took off the hood of sunscreen, and suddenly caused a burst of amazement around.

Because Xiyu's facial features are very delicate, and her skin is very white, her hair is soft and she doesn't need any modification at all, which is called natural beauty.

Many people wanted to come over and tease, but when they saw Long Wu's huge body, I also knew that Long Wu was too eye-catching, after all, the three-meter-tall man was very eye-catching everywhere, and I was helpless about it.

What's even more infuriating is that Long Wu's face is expressionless, he doesn't eat, he just sits on the side blankly, his eyes are empty, so many people can't even eat, which also causes the boss to complain.

"I'm talking about the guest officer. The one who spoke was a graceful and tender young woman, with a pair of hanging eyes accompanied by long eyelashes that were very attractive, and that hot body, compared to Xiyu, who was more eye-catching than Xiyu, thinking that Xiyu was shy, so she wrapped herself tightly, and even the pair of plump little white rabbits were covered by a thick cloak, leaving only a pink head.

The young woman glanced at Xiyu jealously, sat down beside me, and squeezed hard beside me: "A few people are very raw, they should all be outsiders, are they here to apply for a job or to eat?"

"Apply?" I was surprised, after I asked, I found out that this is not only a restaurant, but also a casino, and now that there is a shortage of people, the proprietress is looking for thugs in the town.

After all, the casino is very chaotic, there are no one or two practitioners, it is easy to go wrong, I said in my heart that I have just arrived, and now finding a place to live is the truth, and the Lingyun treasure of the Thunder God Sect is not something that can be found in a day or two, rather than wandering around the city, it is better to find a place to live.

And I'm not alone, it's more important to protect Xiyu's thoughtfulness, the last thing I want is to let Xiyu have an accident, and unconsciously Xiyu has occupied a very important position in my heart.

The proprietress Bai Huahua's big beautiful legs were exposed to the air, and only a knee-length short skirt covered her shame, which provoked the men around her to dare not blink, and they whistled and sang songs, but the proprietress made everyone around her shut up with a charming look.

The proprietress rested her arm on my broad shoulder: "Now our underground casino is just recruiting, if you are interested, go and see how it is, if we are in love, then we will give you food and drink, and also pay you to raise your woman for nothing!"

"I ......" Xiyu said with a red face, her voice glutinous and very soft.

I didn't think much of it, I said, "Then let's have a good meal, let's go and see it......"

It was only when I finished eating that I realized that this purple city has a cave, although the ground is a graceful and luxurious side, but the underground is a different look, the rich people are singing on the ground and holding the beauty, but the poor people are all underground, and the underground of this city is like another world, the passages are intricate, and the number of people is not inferior to the ground.

Only most of the places are lit by ravines in the ground, and some of the dim places are lit by torches and bonfires, and here there is the smell of kerosene and sweat.

I walked down the stairs for more than ten minutes to reach the surface underground, where people came and went, all dressed in coarse cloth, and the gray side of the city was almost reflected in mercenaries, beggars, robbers, thugs, gamblers, etc.

"We call this Taoyuan, of course, the currency used on the ground is gold, we use silver coins here, one gold coin is equal to a hundred silver coins, you can go to the underground bank to exchange, but you don't look for those scalpers to exchange money, not to mention the big difference in conversion rate, sometimes you will receive some counterfeit coins mixed with aluminum and iron. "The hostess walked in front and walked while introducing.
