"Who the hell are you?" Shangguan Yuanji's eyebrows moved, "I don't want to deal with strangers anymore, hurry up and say who you are, I won't treat you as a friend just because you saved us." ”

The old man lowered his eyebrows and smoked his cigarette pouch, as if he was accustomed to this kind of threat, "Speak politely, boy, don't show your fangs to anyone." As he spoke, the corners of the old man's eyes burst into veins.

Ziyan swallowed his saliva and stood between the two to prevent things from deteriorating further, "I'm sorry old man, his temper is a little indifferent, and his defensive heart is too strong, don't be weird" Dongfang Ziyan tried his best to turn the contradiction into a contradiction, after all, they came here to find out the information of the enemy country, and what Long said...... Steal something to eat and go back.

"Old man, not a big man, just a mechanic." The old man squatted on the ground, and Dongfang Ziyan realized that they were in the courtyard of an ordinary person's house, and the yard was full of mechanical parts, as well as the pungent smell of oil, "It's just that I rely on machinery to eat, and I have been doing it for more than 30 years, and I am famous." As he spoke, he picked up a half-finished robotic arm at his feet, and his wrinkled face could see that it had been through vicissitudes.

At this time, Shangguan Yuanji spoke: "There are not many mechanics in the human race, especially in this country, as far as I know, the alchemy industry should be the most prevalent in this Aslan Empire, and your mechanical skills can't even be mixed up here, right?" ”

The sound of metal parts sounded, and the old man's hands seemed to have a magnetic force, and circles of metal molecules swirled in the air, forming an incredible scene for outsiders to see, but it was obvious that Ziyan and Yuan Ji had seen it. Although mechanical techniques are no longer common, this unique technique that once shined in the Three Realms still does not change the physical phenomenon of the artifact.

Mechanics, simply put, the use of metal or other materials for processing, the use of human power to transform metal, "machinery" originally belonged to the alchemist in the smelting of metal accidentally created, and later became a unique school. The biggest difference between mechanics and alchemy is that the attacks of mechanics rely on the two basic techniques of "mechanical zero generation" and "metal transformation", which requires the mechanic to first be a monk of the "gold" system (the elemental attribute of spiritual power) and master the power to control metal particles. Mechanics rely on their own metal modifications to fight, while alchemists rely on alchemical weapons or magic and sorcery to fight.

Both of them have their own strengths, and they have become the two largest forces outside of the monks, and they have formed a three-legged trend with the monks under the monks. (Although it is said to be a three-legged stand, the huge group of monks is like Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms era, which is the strongest in the Three Kingdoms, and in comparison, alchemists and mechanics are the two groups of Sun Wu and Shu Han, and their strength is of course weaker than Cao Wei) Although there is a great differentiation, in addition to alchemists and mechanics, people are still accustomed to using "alchemy machinery" to summarize these two categories.

"That's right, in Aslan, mechanics is lowly, and alchemy is noble." After the old man finished speaking, he shook his right hand, and his right arm was immediately attached to the metal arm armor. "It's just a coincidence that the old man saved you this time, and I don't want you two children to be bullied in the tavern, and there is nothing malicious about the others!!" The old man laughed heartily.

"I knew that the old man had no ill intentions." Dongfang Ziyan replied with a smile.

"You must be the two people who smuggled in, right? I really didn't expect you to be two children, and now the whole city is arresting you, but you will be safe to stay here. The old man bowed his head and installed the mechanical arm, and said, "Because the people of the government generally disdain to come to the mechanical dwelling." ”

The sound of the sword sounded, Yuan Ji withdrew the wind cutting sword with his right hand, took out two communication jades, and ignored the old man, "Ziyan, hurry up and transform these two communication jades." Then he pulled Ziyan to a corner and whispered to Ziyan, "Do you have a way to let these two messengers talk to the high-level of the enemy country?" ”

"It may have been ten hours ago, but our entry into the city has been exposed, and the enemy must have changed the line of communication, so I can only transform him into a communication jade between the two of us." Dongfang Ziyan said, "But if it comes to mechanical skills, I think that grandfather is much more powerful than me." ”

"No, you can quickly transform it, and then we will get out of here quickly." Shangguan Yuanji handed the communication jade in his hand into his hand, and walked to the door alertly, because he sensed the arrival of a guard. "Ziyan, Ziyan! Let's leave now, hurry! Yuan Ji turned around and said, "They are searching us door to door, and when it's almost time, let's leave quickly." ”

Before the words fell, there was suddenly a guard with a gun on the roof, "Hey, hey! Got it! Over here! ”

Shangguan Yuan quickly raised his sword and fell, and a sword qi cut the enemy's throat before the opponent could shoot, "Ziyan! He shouted loudly, grabbed Ziyan regardless of it, and stepped on the stone steps to the roof in three steps and two steps. I saw that the alley in the distance was already densely packed with guards. The old man stood up suddenly, looking at Yuan Ji and Ziyan, his lips moved slightly, and the chief of the guard of the Qingxu class was coming, if you want to leave, hurry up and leave, little ghost.

Of course, Yuan Ji and Zi Yan could hear this "heart technique" transmission, both of them were shocked, Zi Yan hurriedly stuffed a communication jade into Yuan Ji's hand, "I've already repaired it, you take it!" ”

"So fast! Forget it... See you at the East Gate! After Yuan Ji finished speaking, the two of them scattered and fled before a large number of enemies arrived.

The path chosen by Shangguan Yuanji attracted more guards, he ran as fast as the wind, shuttling on the high roof, alchemy bullets grazed by him, he didn't even blink his eyelids, and there were more than a dozen guards behind him, "Hurry up and do your bidding, otherwise we will kill you directly!" The guards shouted. Who to kill? Yuan Ji's face was expressionless, he suddenly turned around, jumped high in the air, and slashed down fiercely with swords in both hands, and more than a dozen guards were blocked by the impact of a sword qi, and after the smoke dispersed, Shangguan Yuan Ji was already at a loss.

In a deep alley, Yuan Ji was sticking to the wall, and a team of guards ran past, and his eyes flashed, Ziyan, that stupid, don't show up on the street at this time.

Under a big tree on the side of the road in the center of Beicheng District, it was crowded with people, as if there was some activity, crowded with all kinds of men. Dongfang Ziyan was holding a big bag of food, using the money given to him by Yuan Ji, and he had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and he also squeezed in to see what activities he saw.

"Take a look! The new Bista beauty slave! The last four! First come, first served! The slave trader stood on a makeshift platform and shouted loudly, and more and more people were attracted to it.

"Finally, four, only?!" The chicken leg in Ziyan's mouth suddenly fell, "Buying and selling people as animals?" Didn't this kind of trading be banned decades ago!! He said.

Some people on the side heard his questioning and glanced at him with disdain, "You are talking about the Hongjun Empire, right?" And only that kind of hypocritical and self-righteous country would make such boring rules. The man said mockingly.

"Damn..." Dongfang Ziyan gritted his teeth.

"What are you talking about! Hurry up and bring the slaves up and let us see! Someone in the audience was making a loud noise.

It didn't take long for four girl slaves in shackles to walk up, the youngest of whom was only about ten years old, led by two men. "Everybody's up! The latest Bista beauty! There are only four left! The lowest price is 2,000 gold spirit coins! ”

There was an uproar in the audience.

"Pretty is beautiful, but two thousand gold spirit coins are too expensive!"

"Besides, why can you take it home at such a young age!"

Just when people were talking, a man with a big poop belly and gorgeous clothes walked over proudly, with two personal guards standing beside him, and people made way for him, because this man was a member of the Xinghai family of the nobles of Aslan, and in this Duoduo West City, the prefect of the city-state (the government assigned manager of the city-state) did not dare to mess with.

"Lao Tzu sold them all, take them home and enjoy them! Hehehehehehe..." The corners of the fat man's mouth were drooling when he smiled, which made people look evil. This aristocratic man belongs to the kind of person who is psychologically **, and everyone knows that no matter how old the woman in his hand is, she will be ruined to death in the end. Of course, the onlookers were quietly discussing these things, but Dongfang Ziyan heard them all.

Ziyan saw the girl who was about the same age as himself, the girl had tears in her eyes, he thought about it carefully, that girl's life for more than ten years was even worse than his own.

"Master Xinghai Jian, the original price is eight thousand, if you say, five thousand will be fine." The slave trader looked cheap and groveled.

"Okay, then..." The aristocratic man was about to give orders to the people around him, but a young man who was much shorter than him walked out.

The eyes of the audience were questioned on this teenager.

"I'll give out 10,000 gold spirit coins, and I'll take in all four people." Dongfang Ziyan looked at the slave trader angrily with a pair of big eyes, and his face turned black.

"Oh?? How dare you compete with the aristocracy!! After two seconds of dead silence, the audience finally broke out, and the aristocratic fat man stared at this inconspicuous boy in the crowd with wide eyes, because he was too short to see him before.

"It's very difficult for us..." The slave trader looked at Ziyan, and a cold sweat gradually broke out on his head.

The youngest girl slave on the stage opened her eyes and looked at the audience, unable to tell what her expression was.

"I don't bully children, so... I'll pay 20,000!" The nobleman said, taking two steps forward at the same time: "Today, no matter what, I want to decide these four slaves!" ”

The audience was shocked again, and the slave trader was full of smiles, just about to respond, but Ziyan raised his right fist and said, "One hundred thousand, I will give one hundred thousand." ”

Looking at the faint smile on the corner of Ziyan's mouth, the faces of the two personal guards behind the noble fat man changed, full of murderous intent.

"Wait," Ziyan's brows furrowed, and he suddenly spoke again, "I'll give ... 500,000." ”

"You kid, you actually raised the price yourself!? Sincerity, is it right at all?! The aristocratic manly gritted his teeth, "It seems that you don't want to live today." After speaking, a gunshot rang out from the nobleman's sleeve, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at Ziyan's head, "If you dare to go against Lord Ben, there is only one way to die." ”
