Chapter Twenty-Six: The First Journey to the Other World (5) Tian Huangshi
At noon the next day, a group of mercenaries who had been riding bicycles overnight appeared outside Reims.
More than a dozen members of the mercenary group each rode a bicycle, and Zheng Jing was carried in the back seat by Brother Hei Chao. When everyone came to the city gate, a middle-aged man dressed as a servant was already waiting here, and when he saw Erec with his head, his eyes lit up and he greeted him with courtesy.
"Oh, Captain Elek, you are back as promised, Lord Lord, he has already set up a luncheon for you and the heroes of the mercenary group." The middle-aged man looked at the bag containing the magic core hanging from Erec's waist, and wanted to compliment him a few more words, but he noticed the bicycles under the crotches of the mercenary group, scratched his head, and said, "Eh, the mounts of the heroes of your regiment...... It's really extraordinary. ”
After rushing overnight, the already physically and mentally exhausted members of the mercenary group got off the bicycles, and Erec waved his hand to the middle-aged man: "Don't talk nonsense, take us to see the city lord." ”
"Yes, heroes, please come with me."
Everyone in the mercenary group followed the middle-aged man and walked into the city gate, but suddenly, they felt that something was not right, and when they looked back, they found that Zheng Jing had already put all the bicycles they threw on the ground back into the Qiankun bag, and they were still baring their teeth and laughing very badly.
The City Lord's Mansion was located in the north of this small city, and when he learned that the people from the mercenary group were coming, the slightly chubby city lord personally ran out to greet him.
"Oh! Erec, my brother, did you bring me the core of the Fire Lark? As soon as he saw the people of the mercenary group, the city lord couldn't wait to rush up and hold Erec's hand and asked.
Erec nodded, took the bag hanging from his waist and handed it to the city lord, who opened the bag and glanced at the red magic core inside, grinning happily.
"Someone, give the bounty to the heroes of the mercenary group."
After a while, a person dressed as a soldier carried two large boxes and put them in front of everyone in the mercenary group, the box was opened, and seeing the golden light emitted inside, Zheng Jing, who was following behind, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, how much gold is this, no wonder these wronged leaders of the mercenary group were willing to be slaughtered by him yesterday and drove back.
It seems that this city lord is very rich, Zheng Jing looked towards the city lord, but when his gaze swept over something, he was stunned.
What caught Zheng Jing's attention was the cane in the city lord's hand, Zheng Jing's gaze was locked on a yellow and clear cobble-shaped stone at the top of the cane, and he couldn't move it anymore.
Quickly searching in his memory, Zheng Jing still remembered that he had been to a museum once before, where there was a seal that was regarded as the treasure of the town hall that left a very deep impression on Zheng Jing, and the oval-shaped stone in front of him was golden and slightly transparent, just like solidified honey, exactly the same as the seal in his memory!
If it's true, then send it, Zheng Jing commanded to the terminal in his head: "Analyze the composition of that stone." ”
"The analysis is a silicate mineral, and the comparison results show that the similarity between the composition and the earth's Tianhuangshi reaches 99.9%."
After getting an accurate reply from the terminal, Zheng Jing couldn't hold back his excitement anymore, and sure enough, it was Tian Huangshi! What kind of luck is it that precious stones, which have been extinct on earth, have such similar things in this world! If you can get your hands on this thing, it's not in vain.
At this time, the city lord also noticed Zheng Jing who was standing with everyone in the mercenary group, he knew these people in the mercenary group, and when he saw Zheng Jing's unfamiliar face, he couldn't help but ask: "Erec, who is this?" ”
"Uh." Erec was stunned, and after thinking about it, he really didn't know how to introduce Zheng Jing, because even he didn't know Zheng Jing's true identity.
"Hello, Lord Castle." Zheng Jing walked up by himself, first bent down respectfully, leaving a good first impression on the person in power, and then introduced himself: "My name is Zheng Jing, a merchant from far away, I came here to do business, and I ask the city lord to take care of me." ”
"Yes, Lord City Lord, what His Excellency Zheng Jing sold us has helped us a lot, and thanks to his help, we were able to rush back so quickly." Erec also immediately echoed, although this annihilator was a little darker, but they couldn't help but admit Zheng Jing's help to them, Erec still decided to use his relationship with the city lord to help Zheng Jing say a few good words.
"Oh? So you're a trader? The city lord was still very interested in these merchants from other places, and asked directly to the point, "I don't know what goods you have brought?" ”
Zheng Jing showed an imperceptible smile, and on the way, he asked Nina in advance about the information about the city lord, including the situation in this world.
According to Nina, although this place called the Dragon God Continent is nominally ruled by the kingdom, in fact, the influence of the royal power has long been weakened, in private, these nobles with titles and fiefs have each raised private soldiers, and then fight with each other for territory and interests, the location of Lance City is the most serious area of warlords, and the neighboring cities have a small battle for three days and a big war for five days, this time the city lord entrusted them to obtain the magic core of the fire lark, and the purpose is to enhance the military strength.
"Jingle Bell!" Zheng Jing opened the mouth of the Qiankun bag and poured it to the ground, when he heard a chaotic sound of metal hitting each other, and twenty large knives with a dark metallic luster were placed on the ground.
Zheng Jing picked up a knife from the ground and handed it to the city lord, while asking, "City lord, I don't know if you are satisfied with these goods of mine?" ”
When he saw Zheng Jing pouring out of the Qiankun bag was a weapon, the city lord's eyes began to glow, he was also a battle-hardened warrior, he took the big knife from Zheng Jing's hand, waved it twice, and shouted excitedly: "Okay! Good knives! Haha, I'm so satisfied! ”
The city lord ordered his subordinates to take a big sword used in the army and put it on the ground in front of him, and the city lord held the big sword in his hand and slashed it fiercely, and the big sword on the ground was instantly broken into two!
Of course, weapons like this can't be bought on the earth, these are all weapons such as knives and steel rods that Zheng Jing collected from the group of thugs in the Thunder Dragon Gang, using alchemy to extract impurities from it and extract refined iron to re-form these twenty broadswords, the twenty broadswords are all made in accordance with the shape of the Tang Dynasty Mo knife that Zheng Jing consulted from the Internet, and it is definitely a big killer on the battlefield when handed over to a powerful soldier to use!
"Also, I heard that your army is short of mounts, right?" Zheng Jing said as he took out the bicycles that he gave to the mercenary group yesterday from his bag, and asked the people of the mercenary group to demonstrate how to use the bicycles in front of the city lord, and the city lord didn't say anything for a long time.
Mounts like horses are indeed very scarce in this world, and only particularly powerful warlords have such troops. In such an environment, he could imagine what a powerful force it would be to find twenty elite soldiers, equip them with these sophisticated weapons of Zheng Jing, and then let them learn to use this means of transportation called bicycles, so that they can appear in the most critical position on the battlefield as quickly as possible!
These were enough to surprise the city lord, but he suddenly found that Zheng Jing was still pulling things out of his magical bag, and couldn't help but shout: "And!?" ”
Zheng Jing just smiled, this time he took out a high-grade telescope, through the lens even two or three kilometers away, as long as there is no obstruction, he can see clearly. Needless to say, the significance of something like this to this world is needless to say, and as soon as the lord gets the telescope, he immediately loves to play with it.
If the expression on the face of the city lord when Zheng Jing took out the big knife was excited, and when he took out the bicycle, he was shocked, then when Zheng Jing handed over the telescope to him, the city lord's face was only solemn.
"Your Excellency Zheng Jing, I know that there is a saying called merit and merit, these goods of yours are too valuable to me, and I can't give you a due price for these goods."
The city lord knew in his heart that if Zheng Jing's things were taken to some big princes, the money they gave would probably be able to buy this small Lance City, and he also knew that Zheng Jing was definitely not a fool, and he couldn't just take two dollars out and fool him.
Zheng Jing shook his head: "No, Lord City, I don't need money. ”
"Don't want money? So what do you want? As long as I have it, just say it. ”
Zheng Jing pointed to the cane in the city lord's hand and said, "I like your cane very much, Lord City Lord, if you can give it to me, all the goods I have here will belong to the city lord." ”
Saying what he wanted, Zheng Jing looked at the city lord expectantly, expecting him to say yes.
It's a pity that Zheng Jing was disappointed, and when he heard that Zheng Jing wanted his cane, the city lord shook his head: "I'm sorry, although I don't know what is precious about my cane that Your Excellency values so much, but this is my family heirloom, and I won't give it to anyone." ”
