41. The good mood is gone

Hughes basically believed the clerk's explanation, but he also wanted to see the forbidden collar that the sage had invented. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSo, he approached the two fox slave girls, and while still smiling sweetly at him in the opposite direction, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the long fiery red hair of one of the fox girls, lifted it up, and looked closer.

Sure enough, they all wore a black collar around their white necks. And on the surface of that collar, Theseus also found the magic lines left by the sage. This proves the words of the clerk, because this kind of pattern cannot be made by ordinary people, only sages can.

The fox girl was obviously in a lot of pain when she was scratched by Hughes, but she resisted the pain coming from her scalp, remained motionless, and forced to smile.

Hughes snorted, loosened his hair, and then turned and nodded to the clerk.

A flattering smile immediately appeared on the clerk's face: "How can the Chamber of Commerce of the Allianz Kingdom use orcs to trade?" This young master, many of the shops of the Chamber of Commerce on this street use orcs as their façade, which is both novel and powerful. ”

Nalco also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the young master had calmed down again.

The Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce is an industry belonging to a certain marquis family in the royal capital, and its background is very strong. So far, it is not comparable to the Viscount family in a remote area like the Horton family. If there is any conflict between them, the end result can be ugly.

"Then why are they still able to release the innate ability of 'Talent Charm'?" Xius thought of the inexplicable affection he had when he saw them before, and he felt very uncomfortable when he thought that he had fallen into the Tao unconsciously.

"Well, ...... this", the clerk's eyes rolled around, and his mouth was hesitant, but nothing came out.

Hughes was very upset with the male clerk's unhappiness, and was about to ask again, but Nalco pulled his arm again and whispered to him, "I know this, don't embarrass him." ”

The clerk and Hughes were separated by a counter, and of course they could hear clearly, and he smiled gratefully at Nalco.

"Let's go out first, we've been here for a long time. Nalco suggested.

Hughes glanced at him and took the lead in leaving, followed by Ram and Nalco.

"No good mood is gone, what a broken shop, this is still the first one we have visited!Nalco, you'd better give me a reason!" Hughes grimaced, very dissatisfied. As a guard, Nalco not only did not support himself, but frequently spoke for others, which made Xius quite unhappy.

"Young Master, this is the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce, we can't clash with them. Nalco explained with a wry smile, he was also depressed. In order not to offend the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce today, he has already offended the young master twice.

"This chamber of commerce is very powerful?" Xius is not stupid, standing on the crowded street, the feeling of holding his breath in the store quickly disappeared a lot, and after calming down, he immediately thought of the crux of the problem.

Nalco is helpless, the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce is not only powerful, it is quite powerful. The owner of this chamber of commerce is the marquis of the royal capital. The other party's title is already a well-known high-level nobleman in the mainland, and his family is huge, which is completely incomparable to a nobleman of the level of a viscount.

For example, if the viscount's power can almost radiate the scope of a province, then the marquis's power has reached the scope of the entire kingdom and has a decisive influence in the political or military circles of the kingdom.

"Young Master, in a big place like the royal capital, it is very unwise to conflict with these wealthy chambers of commerce. Just like this Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce, it's not just that they are rich, there is a marquis family standing behind them. In conflict with them in the royal capital, it is definitely us who suffer. Nalco explained bitterly.

Marquis!

Theseus was taken aback, he was a nobleman himself, and of course he understood how powerful a marquis was. Anyway, his father, Viscount Gael, must not be able to provoke him, even if he has the identity of a great swordsman. The Marquis's family inheritance will certainly not be shorter than five centuries, and because of its profound heritage, it is not at all surprising that one or two great swordsmen appear in the family.

Theseus turned his head to look at the large plaque again, frowning. After a while, he asked Nalco, "So, do all the big shops on this street have such a big aristocratic background?"

Nalco looked up for a moment, nodded, and pointed to five shops with bright and magnificent facades from left to right and said: "The Jade Chamber of Commerce of Count Jacques's family, the Mysterious Forest Chamber of Commerce of Marquis Maurice's family, the Holy Grail Chamber of Commerce of Count Zidane's family, the Crystal Chamber of Commerce of the Marquise of Milan's family, and the Blue Devil Chamber of Commerce in that five-story building, completely belong to the Chelsea Grand Duke's family, and their family is almost the most powerful Chamber of Commerce on this street, selling any goods." The four companies mentioned before only sell one or a few special goods, and they do not interfere with each other. ”

Hughes listened carefully, exchanging shocked glances with Ram from time to time.

In Xiusi's heart, the great nobles above the marquis are very rare in the kingdom, at least the highest titles in the whole holy war province are only earls. But now, this kind of super aristocracy is actually gathering on this street!

This kind of news to go back to Fagaret will definitely shock his jaw!

Hughes spread his hands and said helplessly: "It seems that this street does not belong to us at all, although I am also a nobleman, I can compare with them...... Alas~ It's too far away!"

Nalco and Ram nodded with a wry smile, the young master they followed was nothing here, and the two of them had no status at all.

"Okay, okay, okay, I can't afford to mess with it, I can always afford to hide. Let's go, get out of here, or go to see the ordinary activity of the warrior's paradise, which is more suitable for a country nobleman like me. Hughes laughed at himself.

"Uh...... If we trade normally, there will still be no problems. They weren't going to bully the viscount yet. Moreover, the young master doesn't have to worry too much, our Horton family still has a certain influence in the Allianz Kingdom, only if it is reasonable, few people can bully us. Seeing that the young master's mood was a little depressed and depressed, Nalco hurriedly comforted him, and his tone was full of uplifting pride.

Theseus smiled and pointed to Lady Cynthia's inn, "Of course I know that the location of Lady Cynthia's Famous General's Inn is almost the best on this street, and it is also five floors!"

Nalco, who had been a little worried, smiled relaxedly, but he had forgotten the reason. Looking back at the inn, Nalco gave the young master a thumbs up.

"Let's go~ I'm not interested in pretending to be a good child in someone else's store, and I have to feel comfortable first of all when I buy something. So, I'm only going to the kind of shop where you can pretend to be a grandson!" said Hughes, smiling first, followed by two equally smiling guards.

After the depression in his heart was gone, everything on the street was so interesting in the eyes of Xius.

For example, circus performances, and clowns' burlesques...... There will be such a performance point every few steps, as if it were a competition, and the surrounding audience is densely surrounded. Whenever he went to such a place, he would stop and watch for a while, applaud from time to time, and even meet a satisfactory performance, and he also asked Nalco to throw a few silver coins over, and the actors thanked him again and again, and he was very grateful.

Soon, Xiuth knew that he had arrived at the south gate of the Royal Warrior Academy.

Although there was still some distance between them, and Theseus had never been to the Academy. But he just knew that the giant sword in front of him, which was straight into the sky and constantly exuded a powerful momentum, must be the gate of the Wang Family Warrior Academy!

While feeling the fierce aura, he stood still, raised his head, but closed his eyes, allowing himself to concentrate and quietly feel the information coming from the door.

Every time I come, I come here to see and experience the spirit of the sword. Hehe, to be honest, the mentors of the Shining City Swordsman Academy are actually not as connotative as this gate. Any warrior who has a little bit of understanding and lives next to this gate for a period of time will definitely make a lot of progress. Nalco said with a smile.

His comments may seem prosaic, but in fact, when he compares the dead thing like the gate in the general sense with the living tutors in the academy, it itself expresses a kind of maximum appreciation.

Hughes opened his eyes, and he had to admit that his guards had a point.

Although a few breaths of time were not enough for him to clearly understand the information coming from this gate, nor would he immediately understand anything, but the vague sense of direction that can only be seen by the heart is already a great asset.

In a certain sense, this peculiarly shaped gate can be seen as the great path that the predecessors who have practiced swords for thousands of years have stepped out inch by inch with their feet, which represents the correct direction for warriors who practice swordsmanship.

How many possibilities there are for the development of swordsmanship, perhaps no one can say clearly except for God.

However, the path that countless sword practitioners have traveled has undoubtedly become a clear confirmation in front of the eyes of those who come after them, clearly telling them what road is successful, what road is dead, what road is easy to walk, and what road is extremely difficult. Even, which road may be hard to walk all your life is just mediocre, and which road can reach the top unimpeded as long as you step into it with both feet.

As a result, this gate can no longer be simply regarded as experience, it is more of a kind of wisdom, and even a record of civilization.

Hughes realized this greatness, but he still couldn't tell where the greatness was, but he sighed from the bottom of his heart, looked up, and was in awe.

The three of them continued to walk towards the front door, where there were more people, and it was not easy to navigate through the gaps.

"Nalco, you must have lived here for a while, the time I was here with my father. Hughes suddenly thought of this question and asked.

Nalco had said before that as long as you have a little understanding, if you have lived in front of this gate for a while, you should have some understanding of the sword.

And from the incident of Mrs. Cynthia, it can be known that Nalco has lived in the royal capital for a short time. But Nalko's own strength is only level six so far, which is very different from his experience, wisdom, and cultivation time.

Nalco was surprised to hear this, thinking that he had never thought that Young Master Xius would ask him this question. Immediately, his eyes were slightly dim, and a kind of aura of regret in Cangsang slowly emanated from his body.

Nalco was silent for a moment, and said with a faint smile, "It's still that thing, I was also there at the time, but my strength was low, and I was always doing logistics." At that time, the adults were exhausted from the easy way to kill the demon bear, so I had to go and get the water and food hidden in some distant places, as well as the medicine for healing. In the Black Forest, there are dangers everywhere, and only by regaining strength as soon as possible can we ensure that the fruits of victory will fall into our hands as we live. ”

As he said this, Theseus noticed that Nalco glanced back at the inn. That look is complicated......

"At that time, I was the only one who had enough energy, and the adults couldn't afford to leave. Besides, the Earth Demon Bear has just died, his breath will not dissipate for a while and a half, and other demonic beasts in the Black Forest dare not come over, this kind of dangerous place is the safest. What we are afraid of is actually the mercenaries in the Black Forest who are active for the purpose of hunting the crystal nucleus of Warcraft.

There is no one who can survive in the Black Forest who is not smart. Let them confront the Earth Demon Bear head-on, they must be a hundred unwilling, and in the face of a good chance to get an Earth Demon Bear without much effort, even if it can only be obtained by killing the nobles, they will definitely not blink an eye.

Unexpectedly, the greedy and cunning mercenaries did not come, but Grlot has been secretly following. He's not as strong as an adult, but he's much stronger than me. It was only the moment I left the clearing and entered the trees, I was seriously injured by him hiding on the side, and there was no chance to resist at all.

You know what happened next, if it weren't for Lady Cynthia, we would all have to die. Fortunately, we all survived, but the after-effects of the serious injury could not be eliminated. I was injured in the lower abdomen at that time, so it was impossible to raise the level of Dou Qi in the future, and I could only remain a sixth-level swordsman. ”

Hearing this, Theseus stopped, he looked at Nalco, his eyes were full of pity, and he was about to speak to comfort the loyal guard, but was immediately stopped by the other party.

Nalco smiled indifferently: "Don't pity me, it's been almost fifteen years, and I don't care anymore, otherwise I wouldn't have lived so long." Young master, don't underestimate me, although I only have the strength of a sixth-level swordsman, my swordsmanship is by no means inferior to the level of a high-level swordsman. This is what the adults themselves said to me. Hehe~".

Hughes was understanding, knowing that Nalco didn't want others to look at him with pity, and immediately laughed as well: "Also, honing skills is also the right path for a swordsman. ”

The two began to laugh again, only Ram did not understand this tacit understanding, and still stared at Nalco with pitiful eyes, as if trying to give him a little comfort, but in exchange for a big slap in the back of the head, which made him aggrieved.

Hughes laughed, calling Ram stupid and saying he deserved it.
