Chapter Twenty-Nine: The First Journey to the Otherworld (8) Conflict Breaks Out
For the next three days, Zheng Jing had been setting up a stall in the square opposite the City Lord's Mansion, which was a bit unexpected by Zheng Jing, there were really a lot of rich nobles in this small Lance City, and the function of the condom was just right for their needs, so Zheng Jing priced a hundred gold coins, well, that is, a full 200 grams of gold, the set was sold out in three days, making Zheng Jing make a lot of money.
In three days, Zheng Jing's voyeurism of the city lord's mansion through a telescope also achieved results.
The city lord's cane is basically always close to his body and never leaves his hand, and if he forcibly snatches it, it will inevitably alarm the entire army of Reims City because of the attack on the city lord, so it will inevitably be a fierce battle. And Zheng Jing found that whenever the city lord slept at night, he would hide the family heirloom cane that was very important to him in a dark room behind the study, and the risk of stealing it was much smaller at that time.
"Hah...... Owe...... Why hasn't the sun gone down yet? Zheng Jing had already sold out the sets he brought, and at this time, the stalls in front of him were all sundries like mineral water, pesticides, feather dusters, etc., which were meaningless to the world, and he didn't expect to be able to sell these garbage, just to kill time here, after all, why did he have to wait until night to steal things in the city lord's mansion?
But speaking of this made Zheng Jingdan hurt, through his calculations in the past two days, there are at least twenty hours of daylight in this world! This made Zheng Jing, who had adapted to the rhythm of life on the earth, very uncomfortable, and within a few days of coming to this world, he had two dark circles on his face.
"Big bad, we're back!" Hearing Nina's voice from afar, Zheng Jing suddenly felt a thrill, and most of his sleepiness dissipated, and he stood up to meet the group of mercenaries who came over.
"Your Excellency Zheng Jing, this is today's harvest, this time we are lucky, let's meet a fourth-level demonic beast that is fighting with other demonic beasts and is seriously injured." Erec threw a drumming belt at Zheng Jing's feet, and Zheng Jing also took out the bag containing money that he was sitting under his buttocks.
His Qiankun bag has been filled with gold, and he can't bring the rest of these gold coins back to Earth, so he simply gives them to the mercenary group.
While the people of the mercenary group were happily counting the money, Zheng Jing was also instructing the terminal to transform the magic cores that the mercenary group brought back to him, each level 1 magic core transmits 1 point of energy, level 2 magic core transmits 5 points of energy, and level 3 magic core transmits 20 points of energy, and this time the level 4 magic core that Erec got back for him exchanged for 80 points of teleportation energy at once.
In the past few days, the mercenary group has added the magic core to him, which has allowed Zheng Jing to exchange 300 points of teleportation energy, not only can he teleport himself back to the earth, but he will not have to worry about running out of energy for business for a long time in the future.
"By the way, don't you really think about working for me?"
Hearing Zheng Jing ask this question again, Erec shook his head with a smile: "Forget it, we people still like to live an unrestrained life." ”
Zheng Jing didn't mention this matter again, this was the last time he asked this question, and after today, they probably won't have a chance to meet again.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Before parting, Zheng Jing wanted to fight with Nina again, but suddenly found that this girl who had been with her for a few days was a little abnormal.
Nina lowered her head, twitched her little nose slightly, and her expression was a little solemn: "Don't speak, I feel a little unusual smell, well, it seems that some nasty guy is approaching ......"
"Hahaha, Nina, your sense of smell is still so sharp." A hoarse laugh suddenly appeared, and Nina and the others looked in the direction where the sound came from, and found that there were many people dressed in black and holding weapons around at some point.
"All staff, prepare to meet the enemy!" The head of the group, Erec, suddenly roared, and all the members of the mercenary group reacted extremely sensitively when they saw this group of people, and they took out their weapons in unison, and quickly shrank together to form a defensive formation.
"Hehe, don't be so nervous, I'm just not here to talk to my old friends, by the way, I want to express my gratitude, it should have taken a lot of time to deal with that fire lark, right? Thank you so much. The hoarse voice didn't care at all about the hostility shown by the people of the mercenary group, and the palm that was shrunk in the cuffs stretched out, holding a dark red spar in the palm of his hand, which was the fire cloud sparrow demon core brought back by the people of the mercenary group entrusted by the city lord before!
"Although this magic core was brought back by you with great pain, but since the city lord has to let me use it, then I can only be polite, haha." The hoarse man made no secret of the ostentation in his laughter.
The purpose of his coming today is very direct, that is, he is here to find trouble! However, although he was looking for trouble with the mercenary group, his eyes had been looking at Zheng Jing behind everyone in the mercenary group, intentionally or unintentionally.
First use the old grievances between them and the mercenary group to make trouble, once they do it, Zheng Jing is very close to the mercenary group and will definitely help, and then they can justifiably call the city defense army, arrest Zheng Jing and the mercenary group together for the crime of disturbing the peace, and then torture him to get all the goods out, this is their plan.
The atmosphere was tense, just as the group had planned, but when they looked at the protagonist of the incident, Zheng Jing, they were shocked.
At the first moment of the confrontation between the two sides, Zheng Jing took his stall, took a few steps back very simply, and looked like I was just coming to see the excitement with his hands behind his back.
How fresh is that, anyway, these people in the mercenary group don't agree to do it, so are they dead or alive and have a yarn relationship with themselves? Zheng Jing stared at the development of the situation with wide eyes, although he didn't know what grievances there were between these two groups, but, anyway, they were about to fight, and they would fight very fiercely, now there is a good show to watch, when the time comes, these two waves of people will fight to defeat or die, in addition to being able to pick up the money from these people for nothing, how good is it?
"I said, are you still fighting?" Seeing that these two groups of people had been facing each other for a long time and had no intention of making a move, Zheng Jing gradually became impatient.
The person with a hoarse voice is called Jace, not only is he the most respected magician in Reims City, but also a close confidant of the city lord, who has always been the lord with his nostrils facing the sky, how can anyone dare to use such an attitude towards him? As soon as he gritted his teeth, he waved his hand, and the people in black around him surrounded the people of the mercenary group that had gathered.
Different from the various costumes and weapons of these vagabond guys in the mercenary group, these people who are uniformly dressed in black light armor have many regular weapons in their hands, long swords, blunt weapons, shields, and a few archers with bows and crossbows standing behind.
Of course, the most important point is that there are many of them! At a glance, these people dressed in black were at least twice the number of mercenary groups, and they quickly surrounded the people of the mercenary group.
Nina, who was hiding in the center of the mercenary group, pulled up the hood on her robe to cover her eye-catching golden hair, secretly took out an arrow from the quiver behind her back and put it on the longbow, squinted her eyes and aimed at Jace, the leader of the enemy, and the finger holding the arrow loosened, and the arrow instantly turned into an afterimage and shot out.
Nina's position was some distance away from Jace, but the feathered arrow was full of power, and it instantly came to the target and went straight to the throat!
"Humph!" Jace didn't move, he had already spotted Nina who wanted to sneak attack, and when the feather arrow was about to hit him, the fire lark demon core in his hand glowed faintly, and the feather arrow that approached him was instantly burned to ashes by a flame that appeared out of thin air.
With a simple wave of his hand, a hoarse voice issued an order to the group of black-clothed people below: "Kill them all!" Not a single one to stay! ”
"Kill it!" On the other hand, the mercenary group struck first, and the leader of the group, Erec, shouted, holding a two-handed sword and slashing an enemy with a sword, followed by Arei and Weis, and the backbone of the mercenary group formed an arrow and broke into the group of black-clothed people.
The group of men in black was not easy to bully, and they pounced on the mercenary group surrounded by them with neat steps, and each member cooperated with each other in every move, resolutely a small army, and as soon as they made contact with each other, several people fell in the front row of the mercenary group's formation.
Nina remained calm at this time, and immediately shot an arrow to see which direction her companions couldn't support it, her arrows were extremely accurate, and each arrow was straight to the point, with her as an excellent archer, those men in black didn't dare to be too aggressive, which relieved a lot of pressure on the people of the mercenary group.
No matter how earth-shaking the battle between the mercenary group and the group of men in black was, Zheng Jing was so enjoyable to watch on the periphery of the battlefield, this scene was much more awesome than those Hollywood blockbusters, and he couldn't help but dance and start to coax when he watched it.
"Hit! Well played! Awesome! ”
"Don't go! Don't go! Give! Give! I continue to send it! Three to fight one and be killed by someone? Will it be hit? ”
"Damn! If you don't rush in first and kill the annoying woman in green, what are you beating!? ”
Nina, who was concentrating on aiming, was distracted, and an arrow missed only one of the knees of a man in black, and couldn't help but turn her head and glare at Zheng Jing, this ungrateful guy, just watch the excitement, how can you listen to him shouting and shouting to cheer for the group of people in black?
But maybe it was because he jumped too much, Zheng Jing soon suffered retribution, he was shouting right above his head, and suddenly a feather arrow flew over his sideburns, giving him a cold sweat.
"Who? Which immoral thing did it? Zheng Jing quickly shook his head and searched around for the person who fired the cold arrow at him, and soon locked onto a black-clothed archer who was still aiming in his direction.
"I bought the watch last year! I'm cheering you on, and you're still shooting me with arrows? I'm a good bully, isn't it? ”
Zheng Jing is completely up, his body has not recovered yet, and he can't beat that grandson with his fists, but his physical strength is used up, and his mana is still full!
Turning his palm over, revealing the refining array tattooed on the back of his hand, a lighter appeared in Zheng Jing's hand at the same time, and when he pressed the flint, a few sporadic sparks appeared with more than just a small flame on the cotton core.
"Boom!" A burst of fire suddenly erupted in front of Zheng Jing, and when the firelight dissipated, the man in black who had just shot Zheng Jing with an arrow was already a piece of black coke, and he couldn't see the human form.
"Cut ......" Zheng Jing elegantly put away the zippo lighter he bought for more than 500 to pretend to be forced, and touched the refining array on the back of his hand, hiding his merit and fame.
