Lu Chen is reluctant to kill more now, and vaguely, he feels that doing more good deeds and killing less will help him become a saint, and it can be regarded as accumulating virtue.
After traveling for a month or two, Lu Chen and his entourage finally arrived at the destination of their trip, the first country in the Apocalypse Continent, the Sun Empire, a very ancient empire, it is said that it has ruled the Central Continent for more than two thousand years, and each generation of emperors has worked hard to govern the country, which is a model for other emperors in the Apocalypse Continent to learn.
Lu Chen and his entourage also followed the customs, and had already changed into the clothes of the residents of the Sun Empire, which were tailor-made in a clothing store on the way, although it was just ordinary silk, it was very spiritual when worn on people.
This place is the northernmost small city of the Sun Empire, called Wangri City, and it is also a transit point for trade between the Sun Empire and the northern countries, and it is mixed with mermaids.
……
"Childe, the tavern here is full, or we should hurry up and rush to the next city overnight. Banzev said.
Lu Chen looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late, we're fine, we can't frighten Xiao Luoli, fox demon, the matter of the room will be solved by you, Zhuoya, you go with the teacher to buy some dry food and fruits, Xiao Luoli, go shopping with your uncle." ”
"Wow, wow!" Lori jumped a few times excitedly, and her mother, Zoya, glared at her, immediately quieted down, and stuck out her tongue at Zoya.
"Alright, let's disperse, let's meet here later. After that, Lu Chen picked up Luo Li and walked towards the city, Shirley followed behind him, looking at him holding Luo Li's back, feeling slightly lost, if he could get pregnant, maybe now Lu Chen is holding his own child.
……
"Take a look, take a look, don't miss it when you pass by, the most wonderful acrobatic performances, those who have money hold a money field, and those who don't have money hold a personal field. ”
There was a shout from the front of the street, and a group of people gathered in front, and little Luo Li pointed there and said loudly: "Auntie, uncle, I also want to watch acrobatics." ”
"Okay, let's take a look. Lu Chen let Xiao Luoli sit on his shoulders, protected Xiao Luoli with one hand, and pulled Shirley into the crowd with the other.
On a simple high platform, two people held a vertical iron rod and rotated hand in hand, their bodies were straight like a flagpole, constantly rising and falling, without the help of any tools, and then someone jumped directly on the legs of the two, and the two people holding the iron rod began to rotate, and the people standing on the legs of the two kept changing positions.
These actions are nothing in Lu Chen's opinion, they can be done easily, but for ordinary people, it is almost impossible, but these people have done it, the surrounding crowd applauded, the performance ended, one person held a hat to collect money, most of the people left, when it was Lu Chen's turn, Lu Chen was very willing, and directly took out a gold coin and threw it into his hat, the person who collected the money, and the people on the stage immediately bowed to Lu Chen and thanked him.
"Uncle, I still want to see it again!" Xiao Luoli grabbed Lu Chen's ear and said coquettishly.
"But after the performance, they are very tired, so they want to let the family rest!" Lu Chen said.
Just then, an unpleasant voice came from the crowd: "Get out of the way, get out of the way." ”
A group of soldiers pushed away the crowd and walked over, the leader with a cross-faced, big belly, full of ruffians, he walked up to the man who collected the money, glanced into his hat, and when he saw the gold coin, his eyes lit up immediately, and then he put on a fierce appearance, and said: "Boy, do you know the rules of this Wangri City, you must not gather people to disturb public order without permission, and if you do business here, you must pay the business tax, can you pay it?"
The man who collected the money lowered his head and said, "Master Jun, we have already paid the business tax before setting up our stalls, and we specially chose this place to prevent crowds from gathering and disturbing public order. ”
Lu Chen, who was on the side, shook his head when he heard this person's words, the meaning of this soldier could not be more obvious, he was here to collect protection money, and he couldn't answer the words, and things were about to develop in a bad direction.
No, the fat boy soldier frowned, pressed one hand on the man's shoulder, and said: "Boy, you really don't know how to lift, I wanted to ask you for pocket money, but I didn't expect you to be so eyeless, and your gold coin will belong to me." ”
As he spoke, the fat boy soldier reached out to take the only gold coin in his hat, and the man quickly took back the hat, took a few steps back, and said, "Master Jun, we have already paid the business tax of 10 silver coins, and there are still dozens of people in our acrobatic troupe to eat, I can give you five silver coins to drink." ”
"5 silver coins, you send it called Hanako! I am going to decide on this gold coin today, if you dare not give it, I will dismantle your platform. So saying, the Fat Boy stepped forward, grabbed the man by the arm, dragged him over, took the hat from his hand, and reached out and grabbed the money from the hat.
The man immediately hugged the fat soldier's thigh and begged: "Master Jun, this is the money we earned after a hard day's work, everyone is waiting for this money to eat, please do well, don't take it, I will give you 10 silver coins, no, 20 silver coins." ”
The fat boy soldier snorted coldly and kicked the man in the stomach, causing the man to curl up on the ground in pain, and the people on the platform immediately jumped down with weapons, and the fat boy soldier hurriedly took a few steps back and shouted loudly: "What a big boldness, do you want to fight us, you are a rebellion, I can kill you." ”
The man endured the pain, stood up, stopped everyone, and said, "Forget it, don't go against the soldiers, military master, you can take the gold coin, and leave the rest of the small money for us to eat, please." ”
The fat boy soldier didn't seem to want to make too much trouble, so he threw the other money back into his hat, threw it in front of the man, lit up the gold coin in his hand, and said: "Boy, see that you are still familiar with the face, I will take this gold coin, and the rest of the money will be returned to you, brothers, let's go." ”
As soon as the Fat Boy soldier turned to leave, one hand grabbed his hand holding the gold coin: "Fat Boy, give you a second to think about it, return the gold coin, this is my reward for them, not for you." ”
"Boy, don't meddle with it! The fat boy soldier could feel the power coming from his wrist, and he knew that this man was strong and did not want to offend.
"Haha......" Lu Chen suddenly laughed, and the next moment, with a bang, the fat soldier turned into a fat pig, which startled the people around him, and they all looked at Lu Chen with a frightened face.
Lu Chen picked up the gold coin that fell on the ground, walked to the crowd of acrobatic troupes, threw it into his hat, looked back at the remaining soldiers, and said, "Give you 10 seconds, get out of here immediately, otherwise you will be a pig for the rest of your life like him." ”
"Run!" The soldiers dispersed in a hurry, Lu Chen turned around, looked at the people of the acrobatic troupe, picked up the hat on the ground, handed it to the person who collected the money, and said with a smile: "Your performance just now is very exciting, my little niece likes it very much, I still have a gold coin here, can I show it to my niece again?"
After that, Lu Chen took out another gold coin and threw it into his hat, and the person who received the money thanked Lu Chen, and immediately asked everyone to return to the stage and gave Lu Chen a separate performance, which made Xiao Luoli very happy, and before leaving, Lu Chen directly took out a gold brick and gave it to the acrobatic troupe, so that the group of people were grateful.
After watching the acrobatics, Lu Chen and the three of them walked around the street again and returned to the agreed place, Banzefu's grandfather and grandson were already waiting there, and after a while, the fox demon also returned, and he found a place to live, a large mansion that had been rented, and the fox demon gave a few gold coins, so they vacated two rooms and gave them to him.
Follow the fox demon all the way through the streets and alleys, and came to a house that looks relatively dilapidated outside, the fox demon stepped forward and knocked on the door, an old man opened the door, and saw that it was the fox demon, so he opened the door.
At this time, a familiar voice came from behind Lu Chen: "Benefactor, why are you here?"
Lu Chen turned around, it turned out to be the group of acrobatic troupes, the old man who opened the door walked out, looked at the person who collected money from the acrobatic troupe and said, "Leader, do you know?"
The head of the regiment nodded and said, "Well, he is our benefactor, benefactor, why are you here?"
Lu Chen said with a smile: "It turns out that you also live here, my people just rented a room here, and we came up to stay." ”
The head of the regiment immediately shouted at the old man: "Dad, this is our benefactor, how can you collect their money, hurry up and return the money to them, and give the best room to the benefactor." ”
Lu Chen stopped the head of the regiment and said, "No need, I won't live here anymore." ”
