Chapter 206: Infiltrating the Flame Empire
Although the wartime alarm was lifted, Xing Xiaotian never relaxed his vigilance, and all the scouts patrolled within a radius of 200 miles around the camp 24 hours a day, not daring to relax the slackening a little.
The days passed, but the commander of the Flame Empire never moved?
Am I guessing wrong?
Although Xing Xiaotian was slandered in his heart, this was still a good thing for him after all, and this was a rare opportunity to recuperate.
The enlarged lake, digging deep canals, sowing grain, and reinforcing the city walls, when the huge iron gate was hoisted, everyone cheered, and under everyone's attention, Xing Xiaotian raised his arms and said loudly: "This is our first city, Black Rock City, but definitely not the last, brothers~~ Cheer for our Black Rock City!" ”
"Roar~~"
"Roar~~"
"Roar~~"
The huge cheers echoed in the sky above Black Rock City, for a long time, every citizen in the city came out of the vulgar tribe, think about what life was in the past, and then think about what kind of life is now, how can you relieve the joy in your heart without cheering!
The completion of Black Rock City caused a huge sensation in the gravel wasteland, the orcs have never been in the habit of building cities, let alone in the barren gravel wasteland, at first many people disdained this rumor, but with the description of passers-by, the strength and wealth of Black Rock City gradually spread.
All orcs who can't survive want to try their luck in Black Rock City, the abundant water and grass are enough for them to desperately go on an adventure, what these people didn't expect is that instead of driving them away, the garrison of Black Rock City has shown a very welcoming attitude towards their arrival, no matter what race of orcs, as long as they enter Black Rock City, they will distribute food and shelter to you, of course~ You must also fulfill your due obligations, and the physically strong ones are added to the various departments. The old and weak do what they can, in short, as long as they are diligent, they will not starve to death.
In just one or two months, the number of residents in Black Rock City has nearly doubled, and this number is still growing, in the face of so many "screaming" mouths, the stored grain is also consumed at an astonishing degree, and it seems that it is about to make ends meet, and in the face of the embarrassment that is about to be faced, no one can do anything, after all, the sweet potato has only been planted for half a month. There are still nearly 100 days to reach maturity.
It was also suffocated, there was really no way to think about it, and Xing Xiaotian said inadvertently: "If only there was a storage ring!"
Xing Xiaotian was an unintentional sentence, and this sentence somehow reached Nicole's ears, and that night Nicole came to Xing Xiaotian's room and asked: "My lord, I heard that you are inquiring about the storage ring, is this true?" ”
"Hehe, I'm just talking about it, wait...... Have you ever heard of storage rings? ”
Faced with Xing Xiaotian's questioning, Nicole's face showed a look of falling into memory. After that, he said softly: "Who hasn't heard of the name of the storage ring?" It's a treasure that adventurers dream of, but it's a pity that this kind of ring handed down from ancient times is too rare, and most of them are spread in the human realm, if you are interested in storage rings. I'd better try your luck in the human realm. ”
Nicole's words can be described as a word to wake up the dreamer, yes, what is not in the rubble wasteland is not necessarily not in the human realm, and the closest country to him is the Flame Empire.
The matter of storing grain is urgent in Xing Xiaotian's heart. I immediately made up my mind in my heart that I would have to try my luck with the Flame Empire.
That night, Xing Xiaotian sorted out his outfits. All the items that can reveal their identity are not brought, even the Thunderbolt long knife that he is accustomed to using was also thrown aside by him, and once again re-selected a weapon from the reserve, it is still a long knife, but the style is much more popular, the knife is one meter long and two, the whole body is dull, only the blade is glowing with the bright cyan cold light unique to metal, this knife is still the thing used by the commander of the Wild Wolf Legion, and it is not bad compared to the Thunderbolt long knife.
After hurriedly explaining the matters after he left, Xing Xiaotian embarked on a journey to the Flame Empire the next day, all the way to the stars and the moon, all the way to hurry up, Xing Xiaotian finally saw the tall city wall in the early morning of the sixth day, the defense on the city wall was still tight, but the closed city gate was opened, and under the garrison of two teams of elite soldiers, only a few pedestrians entered and exited the room.
Perhaps it was the rush that made him look like a wolf, so much so that the soldiers guarding the gate directly regarded him as a rout who had escaped from the rubble wasteland, and simply asked him a few words and was let go.
Should I say it or not, it is Xing Xiaotian's human appearance that provides the greatest convenience.
After walking through the slightly gloomy doorway, the eyes suddenly opened up, and in front of Xing Xiaotian was an exotic building, the streets were lined with white cobblestone houses, although the ground under his feet was not as smooth as a mirror as the cement floor, but it was also unusually smooth, this southern military town of the Flame Empire originally had no name, but it would experience a war almost every year, and it was called a bloody town after a long time.
Because of the particularity of the geography, and there are as many as 30,000 permanent soldiers here, and this year it is as many as 70,000, and it is inevitable that some incidental industries will be born when there are more people, such as taverns, brothels, etc., this year's victory has attracted a large number of merchants to stop here, in order to share the fruits of victory.
The bazaar in the eastern part of the city is now the liveliest place in the entire Scarlet Town, where all kinds of seizures are traded, from generals to soldiers, from captives to exotic gemstone swords.
As the saying goes, a sweet mouth is not worried, and after a few questions such as "big brother" and "general", Xing Xiaotian found the largest market for selling stolen goods.
Xing Xiaotian also rushed to the temple fair market before going abroad, what he saw in his eyes was quite similar to the bazaar, where people came and went, rubbing shoulders and rubbing shoulders was not lively, looking at the past, all of them were small stalls with items on the ground, knives, axes, hammers, sticks, fur and bones, there should be, because the place of the bazaar is very large, there is usually a small gap between each stall, and the crowded crowd continues to walk in front of these stalls, and when they see the items of interest, they will walk into the gap between the two stalls to select goods and ask for prices. It's very lively.
Xing Xiaotian already knew after a few transactions that the economy of the Flame Empire was also on the gold standard, but fortunately, he had been prepared for a long time, and he was not worried about running out of money.
It's just that the materials in front of him are making him look down on them, as long as he wants these things, he really wants as many as he wants, there is no need to spend that unjust money at all, and the storage ring he was looking for has never appeared.
I don't know how long after the flow of people left, Xing Xiaotian saw a huge camp tent being built in front of his eyes, and the octagonal red tent covered an area of hundreds of square meters. Dozens of people dressed as guys were busy up and down, and Xing Xiaotian took the time to ask a person who looked like a steward, "Handsome guy, what are you doing here?" ”
"What did you just say?"
"I ask what you're doing?"
"No, it's the previous sentence!"
“…… Handsome guy! ”
The steward in front of him showed an expression of "you really have vision", and then said to Xing Xiaotian with a pleasant face: "Have you heard of Wynn Firm?" ”
"Of course I did!" If you haven't heard of it at this time, you have to say that you have heard of it!
As soon as he heard Xing Xiaotian's reply, the person in charge of affairs replied with a proud expression: "You've heard of it, our Wynn firm is all over the Flame Empire, and at first glance, you are from a big city, and today my brother will give you a thorough explanation." We, the Wynn Firm, are going to set up a branch in the Scarlet Town, which is responsible for marketing all kinds of material slaves, and I see that you are also a soldier, so you go back and talk to your brothers. In the future, if there are good things, there is no need to set up a stall outside, and they will be sent directly to our store, as long as the things are good, we will recycle them at a high price. ”
Xing Xiaotian directly put on a righteous look and patted his chest and said, "I didn't say that." This must be brought, who wouldn't want to do such a good thing? ”
"Hehehe, you kid is a clever person. Alright, I'll have to be busy there, and we'll talk about what good things are waiting for you to send them. After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Xing Xiaotian finally found a big businessman, and he was so willing to let him go, even if he couldn't wipe his face a little, he had to hold the other party's arm with a shy smile and said with a smile: "Don't~ Brother, there is still something to ask that, where can I go to buy things when you see you leave?" ”
I don't know if Xing Xiaotian's honorifics satisfied his vanity, or Xing Xiaotian's sentence of "buying things" kept him going, so he turned his head suspiciously and asked, "You want to buy something?" Our things are precious, do you have enough money? ”
Xing Xiaotian put one hand into his arms, and when he took it out again, he already had an extra two-finger-wide gold bar in his hand, and he brought three such gold bars, just now he looked at the market, most of the merchants are trading with copper coins and silver coins, and only a few people are trading with gold, he can guarantee that with these three gold bars in his arms, there will definitely be a good purchasing power.
As he expected, as soon as he saw this gold bar, the eyes of the guy opposite lit up, and at the same time, there was no longer a proud look on his face, but instead he said with an exaggerated look of flattery: "Yo~~ Put it away, put it away, please here!" ”
After saying that, he took Xing Xiaotian to the octagonal camp, and there were still crowded people in front and back, left and right, but this corner was a little more secluded.
"Forgive me for being clumsy, dare to ask if the lord is the commander of the battalion of the legion?"
The other party obviously misunderstood Xing Xiaotian's identity, but this misunderstanding was exactly what Xing Xiaotian couldn't ask for, and after pretending to smile mysteriously, Xing Xiaotian returned to the theme in the other party's flattering expression and said: "It doesn't matter if the legion commander is under the camp, the important thing is that our business is happy, don't you say?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's such a reason, dare to ask the general what goods he wants, not to talk big to you, as long as you bring it up, there is nothing that we Wynn Firm can't get."
"That's what I want, I want a storage ring, I wonder if you can get it?"
“…… Heir...... Storage Rings...... Aren't you embarrassed for me, my lord? Can a little person like me have access to such goods? ”
The other party's words not only did not annoy Xing Xiaotian, but his heart jumped, he understood, what the other party said was "can't touch such goods" instead of no storage ring, the next second, Xing Xiaotian used his wealth to impress the other party, directly took out a gold bar from his arms and stuffed it into the other party's hand: "Can you touch it now?" ”
“…… No...... Adult ......"
Another gold bar was shoved into his hand.
"I ......"
Another gold bar, three heavy gold bars pressed in his hand and even fell into his hand, this little steward's eyes were going to be red, but unfortunately he also knew that he could not take money that did not belong to him, and if he didn't get it right, he would be killed.
Although there were 10,000 reluctances in his heart, he still pushed back the gold bar and said: "My lord, the small one really doesn't do things for you, who can be disgusted with more money?" I'll tell you the truth, storage rings are not measured by money at all, and no matter how much money you give me, it's useless. ”
Hearing this, Xing Xiaotian's heart also moved slightly, and the idea of using money to buy a storage ring was instantly frustrated, but instead of wavering, his mind became more and more determined, and after a little silence, Xing Xiaotian put on an open face and said: "If I also take out a news that cannot be measured with money to exchange it with your firm, can I get a storage ring?" ”
"What's the news?" After asking this sentence just now, the little steward immediately changed his voice and said: "Don't sue me, don't sue me, don't sue me!" My lord, if your message is real, you can't give it a try, but the ugly words will be told to you first, and I am only responsible for passing on the words. ”
Pushing the three gold bars into the little steward's arms again, Xing Xiaotian replied boldly: "It's enough to have your words, whether it succeeds or not, these three gold bars are all I thank you, take it, as long as you help me bring the words." ”
"Well, tonight, when the moon is in the middle of the sky, please come over again, whether it is successful or not, I will give you a letter!"
"That's it!" (To be continued!)
