The nearest town to the training camp is Blackstone City, which is about dozens of miles away, and it is more than an hour to walk. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Of course, if you take a car, you can save more than half of your time.
Along the way, Zichen can see various ** carts and ox carts passing by from time to time, and there are even light carriages dedicated to transporting passengers.
The road to Black Rock City was paved with hard mud, and the cars and horses were constantly pedestrian, and it was often muddy on rainy days; The sunny day was better, but the dust was covered as soon as the carriage passed.
It was a sunny day, Zichen walked all the way, and after a while, there was still a lot of dust on his hair and clothes, and he was a little embarrassed.
It was in the afternoon, the temperature was very high, and Zichen was already sweating, which was even more uncomfortable.
At this time, a light carriage pulled by two horses happened to pass by Zichen. Zichen saw clearly that the carriage was not full, and immediately beckoned.
The light carriage slowly stopped, and the coachman's expressionless face stretched out from the carriage, looked at Zichen and asked, "You want to go to Black Rock City?" ”
Zichen nodded.
"The fare is five silver dollars, no bargaining."
Zichen still had this money, so he stepped forward a few steps and boarded the carriage quickly.
After paying the money to the coachman, the carriage moved slowly. Zichen found an empty seat and sat down.
Before Zichen, there were already five or six passengers in the carriage, but it was not crowded. The price of this light carriage is not low, and ordinary people are worried about money, so they will not choose to ride easily.
However, this light carriage for soliciting customers is also worth the money, although the interior decoration is simple, the cushions are very soft, and the bumps of the carriage along the way are not uncomfortable at all.
Zichen noticed that among the passengers, there were four or five men with swords and swords, their clothes were shabby, and they could even smell a sour smell. And listening to them talk loudly and laugh about adventures without any scruples, Zichen was even more sure that they were members of a hunting team.
Because he can also be said to have been a hunter for nearly a month, Zichen has no rejection of these people in the same car, but by the way, he listens to them talk about some adventurous experiences, which is also fresh.
Zichen is not a person who likes to talk, and he was silent all the way, enjoying the scenery while listening to the chatter and laughter of the hunters. This time, the time passed quickly, and after half an hour, the carriage arrived at Black Rock City.
This Black Rock City is a small city, with a permanent population of only a few thousand, compared to the giant city that Zichen had seen in his previous life, it looked exquisite. It is surrounded by mountains, and the walls are made of black rock, which is extremely low, and looks less than three feet high.
It is said that the city was once used as a war fortress, but now it has long since become a normal town. Far away from the war, after a long period of vicissitudes, it is difficult to see the traces of the war on the tall walls of Black Rock City, and there are more traces of pale green moss and weathering.
The first time he came to Black Rock City, Zichen was unfamiliar with the place, and wondered if he was looking for someone to ask for directions. After a while, he walked into a street, and when he looked up, he saw a large medicine hall not far away.
This medicine hall occupies a huge area, quite imposing, exquisite decoration, the wood of the doors and windows is quite exquisite, all of them are painted with the best paulownia lacquer of the high-quality nanmu, everywhere shows the wealth of this medicine hall.
The door of the medicine hall is open to welcome all kinds of guests, and on the lintel of the pavilion, there is a huge plaque, on which is inscribed with gold powder "Dingsheng Medicine Hall" four majestic characters, at a glance you know that it is from the handwriting of a famous artist.
Looking up at this wealthy medicine hall, and seeing people dressed as hunters coming in and out, Zichen nodded slightly, and decided to go to this medicine hall to sell the demon pill in his hand.
Walking into the medicine hall, Zichen saw that there were seven or eight guys inside who were constantly busy, and a mustachioed shopkeeper was dialing the abacus behind the counter.
Zichen stepped forward and put his pocket on the counter, explaining his intention.
The mustachioed shopkeeper was careless, and after a while, he raised his gaze and looked at Zichen.
Seeing Zichen's dusty appearance, the clothes on his body were dirty and old, and he was better than ordinary hunters, a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the mustachioed shopkeeper, but he skillfully opened Zichen's pocket and took out the demon pills inside one by one.
"Sixteen low-level demon pills, fifty silver dollars each, a total of eight gold yuan......"
The mustache sang the price as he looked at it.
Zichen was already very uncomfortable with the mustache, and the price made him even more dumbfounded!
Zichen generally knows the market, this low-level demon pill costs at least one hundred silver dollars each, and the price of this mustache shopkeeper is only half of the price.
Actually, Zichen didn't expect to buy these demon pills at a high price, these things themselves were attached to him when he collected medicinal materials, but this mustache shopkeeper didn't have the slightest sincerity, and the price he gave was too black, so black that it made him angry.
Without saying a word, Zichen glanced coldly at the mustachioed shopkeeper, then put the demon pill on the counter back into the bag, and strode out of the Dingsheng Pharmacy, intending to sell it in other Pharmacy.
From beginning to end, the mustachioed shopkeeper didn't stop him, snorted coldly, clasped his hands and watched coldly, with a sneer on his face.
To Zichen's surprise, he went to several nearby medicine halls in a row, and these medicine halls either didn't accept his demon pills, or offered lower prices than Dingsheng Pills.
Zichen's eyebrows were slightly gloomy, and he felt that he was only afraid of something greasy.
After leaving a medicine hall that refused to accept his demon pill, Zichen turned back, and when he passed by the door of the Dingsheng medicine hall, he happened to see the mustachioed shopkeeper arguing with a teenager about something.
The young man had short hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, his clothes were dirty and torn, with a few patches, and a long knife hanging from his waist. Looking at this dress, this young man is obviously also a hunter.
At this time, the young man was indignant and asked the mustachioed shopkeeper loudly: "Shopkeeper Hu, I have worked hard for this black hairy fruit, if you don't raise the price, why do you want to reduce the price?" ”
When the mustachioed shopkeeper heard the young man's words, his face couldn't help but become gloomy, and he shouted violently: "It's fifty silver dollars, if you like to sell it or not, if you don't sell it, get out!" Don't make trouble here, or you're welcome! ”
The arrogant and strong attitude of the mustachioed shopkeeper and the dog-eyed gaze made Zichen even more disgusted. Frowning, Zichen's gaze subconsciously fell on the black hairy fruit in the young man's hand, but at a glance he could see that there seemed to be something wrong with the black hairy fruit.
It took a lot of effort for the young man to get this black hair fruit, and the low price of fifty silver dollars made the young man very unwilling, but he knew that the power of the Dingsheng Medicine Hall was very strong, and there were some unprovoked characters behind the mustache, and if he didn't sell the black hair fruit to the mustache, he would have no place to make a move.
Therefore, despite the unceremonious attitude of the mustache, the boy decided to swallow his anger and said indignantly: "Okay......"
At this moment, a faint voice came: "Little brother, can you show me the black hair fruit in your hand?" ”;
