Chapter Eighty-Seven: Arrival at the Royal City
ordered Brother Hei Chao to get in the car and drive two laps, although Brother Hei Chao would not answer, he obediently opened the door and came to the driver's seat.
Zheng Jing also got into the car, he didn't learn to drive, so he didn't know the messy instruments and button levers on the car, but Brother Hei Chao showed that he was familiar with the car as soon as he came up, skillfully released the handbrake, ignited, and put the gear, and quickly started the off-road vehicle.
"Hum-" The engine of the SUV let out a low roar, and it drove forward at a slow speed for some distance, which attracted the attention of the members of the mercenary group nearby.
"Wow! For! For! Wearing steel armor and holding a shield, Ah Lei blocked in front of the off-road vehicle, and the other mercenary group soldiers quickly formed a defensive formation behind him, clenching the weapons in their hands and staring nervously at the steel monster in front of them, they thought that a monster they had never seen broke into the camp.
"Hey, calm down, it's me!" Zheng Jing didn't expect to make such a big noise, and quickly stuck his head out of the car window to explain, with Nina using their flying sword as a lesson for bird shooting, he was afraid that the little girl would do something impulsive again, you must know that now she is not holding a bow and arrow but a sniper rifle!
Erec looked at Zheng Jing's outstretched head in a daze, not understanding why Zheng Jing was in the belly of this monster, but he still asked his subordinates to collect their weapons.
Zheng Jing opened the door and got out of the car, and waved to everyone with a smile: "Hurry up and pack your things and go with me to get down to business." ”
"Okay." Erec didn't ask Zheng Jing what he wanted them to do, since it was Zheng Jing who was now paying gold coins to feed them and give them weapons and equipment, then they were Zheng Jing's subordinates, and what the boss wanted them to do, they had to do it.
A group of mercenary group members put away the things in the camp, put the bulky big knife behind their backs, and then pushed out the bicycles that Zheng Jing gave them, Zheng Jing was speechless.
"I said, you really think those things are treasures, throw them all away, and get in the car with me."
These broadswords and bicycles that Zheng Jing brought with him last time seemed to be all rubbish now, and if he had to fight against the plane merchants of this world, these rags would not be of use.
In the amazement of everyone, Zheng Jing let them all get on the off-road vehicle, although the performance of the tiger off-road vehicle produced by Mao Ziguo is not superior, but the interior space is very spacious, and more than 20 people can barely squeeze it to fit.
"Drive." Zheng Jing sat in the co-pilot seat, and as soon as Brother Hei Chao, who was driving, stepped on the accelerator, the engine of the off-road vehicle roared again, and this "iron box" without any external traction marched on its own, and the members of the mercenary group in the car were shocked for a while.
The off-road vehicle increased its speed, and its travel speed was faster than that of some of the nobles in this world, and under the driving of Brother Hei Chao, the off-road vehicle automatically avoided the trees in front of it, and traveled very smoothly in the jungle with complex terrain, making Zheng Jing sigh that the thousand points of energy were really not in vain.
"Is there a way to find the location of the merchants of this world?" Zheng Jing grabbed Xiao Meng and asked, he had to ask earlier, otherwise according to experience, it won't be long before this waste wood god stick will vomit unconscious.
"Wait for me to feel it." Xiao Meng returned Zheng Jing with a confident smile, then closed his eyes and began to use his ability.
Xiao Meng's old master, Xiaoyaozi, is a person with very good combat effectiveness, and the positioning of Xiao Meng's assistant is to let him help find the enemy and then solve the enemy cleanly with his unsolvable combat power, so detection should be what he is best at, but after closing his eyes and perceiving it for a while, Xiao Meng suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Jing noticed Xiao Meng's strangeness and asked with concern.
After Xiao Meng opened his eyes, he glanced directly at the top of his head, and then said to himself, "Impossible...... It shouldn't be like this......"
Zheng Jing was anxious: "What is the situation?" Say it quickly. ”
"According to my perception, the plane merchants of this world are not in this world right now."
This result made Zheng Jing stupid: "That means that he went to visit other plane merchants like us?" ”
Xiao Meng thought carefully for a moment before answering Zheng Jing: "No, it may be...... I'm just saying that maybe, he may have opened up a separate space in this world as a hiding place, and the previous mountain gate of our sect was arranged by the old master to be like that, so that we can avoid being raided by other plane merchants. ”
"Sounds very high-end......" Zheng Jing had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Yes, if this speculation is true, it means that the target we are going to deal with this time is a senior who has been in business for no less time than my old master, and it is almost impossible for us to be his opponent."
Sure enough, the task that Xuanqing explained to him was not so simple, Zheng Jing's heart sank, there are two possibilities in the current situation, one is that Xuanqing's old man really wanted to kill him with bad intentions, and the second is about the plane businessman of this world, there must be important information Xuanqing did not tell him.
Now for that...... Zheng Jing is more inclined to the first judgment.
In this place of the Dragon God Continent, there are a large number of demonic beasts that can be exchanged for transmission energy with their magic cores, as well as gold, gems, and the products of various magical civilizations, in terms of the richness of resources, the plane merchants born in such an environment are simply the rich second generation of plane merchants, as long as they are not idiots to a certain extent, they will inevitably grow into a hegemon.
"Erec, do you know where the most prosperous place in the Dragon God Continent is?" Zheng Jing suddenly asked in the direction of everyone in the mercenary group behind him, he still decided to take one step at a time, but the strategy to be adopted this time could not be as simple and crude as when dealing with Harbara.
Erec didn't think much about Zheng Jing's question, and replied: "The most prosperous place is, of course, Wangcheng, boss, are you going to do business there?" ”
Before Zheng Jing could answer, Nina squeezed over excitedly: "Wangcheng is good, the magic core we got was transported to Wangcheng by those merchants and can be sold for a lot of money, I have long wanted to go to that place to see it!" ”
Zheng Jing nodded: "Let's go to Wangcheng, Erec, you go to the co-pilot to help guide the way." ”
Switching places with Erec, Zheng Jing came to the back seat and sat between Xiao Lin and Nina, the two little girls, and suddenly felt that life was infinitely better, but before he could be proud, Nina, who had been looking at the front window glass, suddenly pointed to a rhinoceros-like monster in front of the car and shouted.
"Yikes! It's a wood rhinoceros! Get his horn and get rich! ”
Stimulated by the prey, Nina, who was riding in the car for the first time, was unexpectedly self-taught, and suddenly opened the sunroof of the off-road vehicle and jumped on. was about to get the sniper rifle that Zheng Jing gave her, but when she came out of the skylight, she found that there was actually a heavy machine gun on top of the off-road vehicle!
Nina didn't care about anything, grabbed the grip of the machine gun and aimed at the monster in front of him and pulled the trigger, and the heavy machine gun "suddenly" shot out a string of bullets, and the poor monster that was walking leisurely didn't understand what was going on, and his body was instantly beaten into a hornet's nest.
Nina excitedly jumped directly from the moving car, quickly dug out the horns and magic core on the corpse of this demonic beast with a sharp dagger, and then took another leap, and actually returned to the car in the blink of an eye.
But don't want to let this little girl settle down anymore, when has Nina grown so big ever seen a long-range weapon that can still fire continuously? This shocked her much more than a sniper rifle, and when she returned to the car, she was reluctant to let go of the machine gun on the car.
The little animals they were unfortunate enough to encounter along the way were in a bad situation, and they were just exposed to the fact that they were blown into pulp by a large string of bullets from the excited Nina. There is no such thing as protecting and cherishing wild animals in this world, dragons are rare, right? Phoenix is rare, right? You have to have the ability to kill others, and you will only admire you as a hero.
And although there are no high-level things like dragons and phoenixes that died under Nina's guns this way, all kinds of high-level magical beasts that usually mercenary groups have to go around when they see them have made her kill a lot, and RPGs that can't be killed use RPGs, RPGs can't be killed, and rocket launchers are used if they can't be killed, all kinds of munitions in Zheng Jingqiankun's bag have let her play all over again, and the longbow that was once her most cherished has long been thrown by her.
Zheng Jing secretly blossomed, as early as after Nina killed the first prey on the side of the road, he signed an agreement with Nina, and he provided her with various hot weapons, in exchange for all the magic cores that Nina hit belonged to him. In the face of the temptation of hot weapons, Nina, who has always been greedy for money, handed over these valuable high-level magic cores to Zheng Jing without even thinking about it.
But Zheng Jing didn't care, but some people were unhappy.
"Ahhh That blonde-haired slut, are you still finished? Xiao Lin, who was concentrating on watching the anime with his mobile phone, suddenly raised his head, and his words were not shocking, and he actually opened his mouth to speak the fluent language of the Dragon God Continent. Zheng Jing looked directly at Xiao Meng, who deliberately put on a look that it was none of my business and turned his head to look out the window.
Nina, who was holding a six-pack grenade launcher to test the trajectory, immediately aimed the muzzle of the launcher at Xiao Lin's head, and said with a grin: "Do you want to fight?" Idiot. ”
"Fight, fight, who's afraid of whom! Flying sword, unsheathed! Without saying a word, Xiao Lin let the flying sword behind his back fly out of the scabbard by itself, and the sword was shrouded in a layer of cyan spiritual light.
Zheng Jing was so frightened that he hurriedly came out to dissuade him, whether it was the grenade launcher in Nina's hand or the flying sword in Xiao Lin's hand, it was a terrifying thing that could instantly make everyone in the car go to the west, so it was really good for the two of them to fight in the car?
"Hmph." Nina glanced at Zheng Jing, and had a completely different attitude towards Zheng Jing who gave her these new toys, put down the grenade launcher stupidly, and said, "I give the boss face, and I don't care about you." ”
Xiao Lin also put away the flying sword under Zheng Jing's persuasion, and then silently put on the headphones that Zheng Jing gave her.
In this way, during the journey, Zheng Jing pitifully lost the opportunity to rest and became the nanny of the two little girls, and he had to watch them all the time and prevent them from fighting in the car.
Stumbling, the off-road vehicle drove for five days, and in five days, with incredible speed for the people of this world, they came from the remote Chiyan Mountains to the core area of human civilization in this world. The environment inside the off-road vehicle is not comfortable, and it is seriously overloaded with more than 20 people, but I have not heard anyone from the mercenary group complain all the way, and the comfort of the off-road vehicle equipped with the shock absorption system is much more comfortable than the carriage they used to call.
When Erec told Zheng Jing that Wang Cheng was not far ahead, Zheng Jing, who had been tormented between two grumpy little girls, had a hint of relief and immediately ordered Brother Hei Chao, who was driving, to speed up, he was afraid that if he stayed in the car for a while longer, he would have a phobia of things like cars.
"Aren't we going to get out of here first and walk over?" Xiao Meng couldn't help but remind Zheng Jing, who seemed to be out of his mind, that driving the off-road vehicle to a densely populated area like this would inevitably attract onlookers.
Zheng Jing smiled and said no, Xiao Meng didn't say anything more, he understood that since Zheng Jing said this, it must have been planned a long time ago.
The outline of the city wall of the royal city in front of him was already in the distance, and when he saw the majestic city wall, Zheng Jing admitted that he had underestimated the civilization here a little.
As the last bulwark to guard the royal power in this era of warlord scuffle, the walls of the royal city can no longer be described as simply majestic, the small earthen wall that Zheng Jing saw last time in the Harbara tribe looked like a building block toy compared to the wall in front of him.
The bluestone on the surface of the city wall makes people feel very thick at first glance, the city wall does not know how high, there are arrow towers one after another, and trebuchets are deployed at intervals. Zheng Jing looked to the left and right, and in the clear sky, the wall in front of him could not see the end, giving Zheng Jing the feeling that it was not worse than the Great Wall he had visited before.
And if you want to break through here, I'm afraid that the firepower in his Qiankun bag is far from enough, at least the entire 60-meter-high humanoid siege equipment will be enough.
After the shock, Zheng Jing thought of something deeper, such a huge city wall is definitely an unscientific existence in this world...... Well, even if they use magic, then you don't need to think about what kind of power the people here used to build this giant city. (Don't talk about the Great Wall, do you think that the Great Wall built by the Qin Dynasty is what we see now?) It was all built in the Ming Dynasty. )
Sure enough, coming here is the right place, and Zheng Jing has two more points of confidence in this trip.
Then, when the off-road vehicle drove under the city wall, the guards here were intimidated by the steel monster speeding at high speed, but unfortunately, before anyone could ring the alarm bell, the off-road vehicle had already stopped in front of the city gate.
"You...... You ......" The sergeant guarding the city gate was so shocked that he couldn't speak when he saw Zheng Jing coming out of the belly of the "steel monster", and the halberd in his hand immediately pointed at Zheng Jing.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." Zheng Jing raised his hands, showed a harmless smile, and said to the two sergeants in front of him: "Two eldest brothers, I am a merchant from the end of the desert, and I am here to do business. ”
The two sergeants did not relax their vigilance at all, still pointing their weapons at Zheng Jing, and one of them said, "At the end of the desert? Aren't there all dwarves living there? How can anyone look like you? ”
I rub! How can the geographical knowledge of the people of this world be diao? Zheng Jing, who was deflated on the same question again, was in the mood of the two people in front of him, and he still explained with an unchanged face on the surface: "There was once a beautiful human princess who came to our place and gave birth to offspring with our seven princes, that is, me, because I have human blood, I have to grow a little taller, can you let me in?" ”
1V7? Or humans vs. dwarves? The two sergeants couldn't figure out whether this ghost-sounding story was true or not, but they didn't dare to let Zheng Jing and the steel monster behind him enter the city, and after some discussion, one of them ran into the city quickly, and after a while, he brought out an officer in armor.
The officer was obviously more calm than your two sergeants, looked at Zheng Jing, then at the off-road vehicle behind him, and said in a deep voice: "You said you are a businessman?" Let me see your cargo. ”
"Of course, sir, what do you think of this item?" Zheng Jing handed over a small electric fan with a built-in battery with a smiling face.
The officer took the electric fan and looked at it in his hand for a few moments, and finally found the switch on the back cover, and when he pressed the switch, the three aluminum alloy fan blades actually rotated on their own, blowing a cool breeze. The two sergeants behind the officer suddenly widened their eyes with a look of incredulity.
"Good! Haha, it's a strange thing that you dwarves can only make up. The serious expression on the officer's face turned into a smile, and then he quietly put his hands behind his back and hid the electric fan that Zheng Jing had given him.
Zheng Jing didn't care either, and asked, "Then sir, can you let us enter the city now?" ”
The officer touched his chin: "Well, I'll check it again." ”
Saying that, the officer bypassed Zheng Jing and came to the off-road vehicle behind him, and at close range, this steel monster was not so terrifying. Stretched out his hand and knocked on the shell of the off-road vehicle, and then looked into the car through the front window to see the members of the mercenary group sitting inside, it seemed that this was just a vehicle similar to a horse-drawn carriage.
Suddenly, the officer's eyes fell on the top of the SUV, and he was stunned when he saw the heavy machine gun that was clearly placed outside.
