Chapter 32: Gambling Eggs
A day later, a majestic city gradually appeared in Bai Feiping's field of vision, and Jinyang City, the seat of Jinyang Prefecture of the Great Zhao Empire, arrived.
Jinyang City, as the front line of the Great Zhao Empire against the northern orc tribes, the city wall is nearly fifty meters high and sixty or seventy miles in circumference, and the city is surrounded by a moat several zhang wide, which is directly introduced into the tributaries of the Nu River.
On the city walls, at the gates, there were soldiers in bright armor everywhere.
Even in the sky, Bai Feiping saw black shadows in twos and threes, and when he looked closely, they were all samurai riding griffins, patrolling the sky.
The open gate of Jinyang City was large enough, but there were still countless people crowded in front of the gate waiting to enter the city.
Fortunately, after the baroness showed the mage badge, the carriage was directly allowed to enter the city, and even the soldiers did not have to ask the officers, this is the privilege of the mage, which is more effective than the status of nobility.
Looking at the city through the window, Bai Feiping clearly felt one word, that is, the combination of Chinese and Western. There are not only oriental carved railings, pavilions and pavilions, but also western castles, arenas, sculptures, etc.
Today is about the time to meet the market, there are a lot of people in the city, shoulder to shoulder, and the buildings are almost as dense as the crowd, five or six storey high-rise buildings abound, row after row.
Horse-drawn carriages walked through the streets, and the smell of men's sweat, the smell of fat powder on women's bodies, and the stench of sewers were mixed together to form a very strange and complex smell.
The smell makes people completely lose the desire to stop and shop.
Finally, under the guidance of the Baroness, the carriage drove directly to Xuefu Street before stopping, and when it arrived, the smell of the air suddenly changed and became fragrant and pleasant. The road is also exceptionally flat and wide.
In particular, there are very few people, and the people who come and go are BMW incense cars, and those who come and go like Bai Feiping are already particularly cheap!
Poor literature and rich martial arts have always been an indestructible truth, except for special talents who are against the sky, who learns martial arts, who has no mines at home!
Not to mention anything else, weapons and armor do you need money, nutritional supplements cost money, and medicinal materials to boil the body cost money...... And that's not even counting the cost of apprenticeship and friend visits......
Students who come to take the martial arts exam need to arrive at the university a few days in advance, and after registering, they also need to spend a few days in the school compound.
Of course, this is stipulated to prevent cheating, otherwise, the high-level samurai temporarily instills some fighting spirit or something into the students who take the exam, and this martial arts test will not become a joke.
Moreover, in order to avoid too many personal contacts, the parents of the candidates are not allowed to stay in Jinyang during this examination period.
In short, in order to ensure the basic national policy of the Great Zhao Empire to establish the country by force, Emperor Wuling of Zhao took great pains to stipulate everything that could be thought of.
And then the egg!
As time passed, the nobles did not dare to challenge the rules set by the emperor.
But in private, an intertwined network has already been formed, and many transactions have been completed in the background early, but on the table, there is still a person of five or six, like a gentleman!
......
Xuefu Street, the more peculiar is that on one side of the Xuefu compound, a separate courtyard, occupies one side of the street, and on the other side, there are all kinds of beautifully decorated shops.
Primarily, of course, in the service of the samurai. Weapons, armor, wind-pulling robes, all kinds of monster eggs, all kinds of elixirs...... In short, there is everything, only what you can't think of, and nothing that merchants can't think of.
After browsing through the weapons and armor of several shops, Bai Feiping was completely uninterested—far worse than the ones he made himself.
Now, Bai Feiping and his entourage are standing in the largest storefront that sells all kinds of Warcraft eggs, which is very lively, and it can be said that the largest number of parents and candidates have gathered.
There was also a large group of people, tightly gathered around a counter, and from time to time there were huge exclamations and lament......ations.
"What are they doing?" Bai Feiping wondered.
"Where? The baroness covered her mouth and chuckled: "Hee-hee, they're betting on eggs." ”
"Bet on the eggs?"
With the baroness's explanation, Bai Feiping understood.
It turns out that although the spiritual power of the martial artist is not enough to communicate with the magic beast, he cannot contract a magic beast like a magician, of course, let alone the soul communication and contract space or something.
However, this does not prevent them from cultivating a relationship with Warcraft like ordinary pets.
As we all know, Warcraft always have a habit of treating the first living creature they see when they open their eyes as a relative.
The viviparous Warcraft is very difficult to grasp at first glance, and the risk is too great. However, oviparous ones do not have this problem at all.
It's just that I don't know if it's a joke by God, or if it's self-protection that has evolved over thousands of years, almost all the eggs of Warcraft are exactly the same, and many times, poachers don't know what they got at all.
Over time, the egg gambling industry came into being.
Betting eggs: The merchant first hatches the monster eggs to a critical state, and then seals them with special magical means, and when the buyer unlocks the seal, it is the day when the monster hatches.
Maybe it's to get a good lip show, or maybe it's subconsciously, I want to compare with magicians.
In short, I don't know when it started, almost all the candidates who participated in the martial arts test went to gamble.
This has become a custom, just like setting off firecrackers during the holidays, it is nothing more than a few more gambling for the rich to choose from, and the shy ones in the pocket have to be meaningful.
Of course, there are also various known types of Warcraft eggs sold here, but as long as it is a powerful variety, the price is ridiculously high, and ordinary people dare not ask about it at all.
"Then let's try it too. Bai Feiping, who had finished understanding, was also suddenly interested.
In fact, Bai Feiping, as the lord of Warcraft, can sign a lord contract with Warcraft like Nocton used to him, and as long as his mental power is strong, he can also sign many of them, but he, the lord who catches ducks on the shelves, doesn't know much about this knowledge.
"Okay, go, go, I'll pick it for you, and I'll give you good luck! Zhao Yueru hurriedly replied: "If a magician brings one like this, he will die of laughter." ”
"Oh. Bai Feiping thought for a moment and asked softly: "For so long, why haven't you seen my mother's spirit beast?" ”
"Xiaoqing!" a trace of sentimentality flashed in the baroness's eyes: "Some time ago, it gave me too much vitality overdraft, and now it is still sleeping. ”
"Don't be sad, Mom, everything will be fine. Bai Feiping said solemnly.
"Well, mom believes you. The Baroness nodded solemnly.
At this time, Zhao Yueru had already squeezed to the edge of the counter, where was she beckoning. Seeing this, Bai Feiping also covered the baroness and squeezed over.
I looked at the signboard, and the sky ...... This price is really not low, ten gold coins a egg.
After coming for a long time, Bai Feiping also has a relatively clear understanding of the prices here, which is basically equivalent to more than 70,000 yuan in his previous life. Poor people really don't even think about it!
Zhao Yueruxu had never made such a large purchase, although she also knew that Bai Feiping had a lot of money, but because of habit, the girl was excited to pick and choose, but she couldn't make up her mind for a while.
The little face was crimson, mixed with excitement and anticipation. Just like the fanatical bettors on the planet.
It was at this time...... The scene suddenly seemed to be detonated, and people suddenly became agitated, if it weren't for Bai Feiping's quick eyes and strength, and his strength not to lose, and he tried his best to protect it, the manic crowd was afraid that they would squeeze and trample on the Baroness and Zhao Yueru.
"Griffon ......"
The restless cries of "Griffin ......" gradually became uniform.
Bai Feiping finally saw that on the other side of the hatchery room, a young man with an excited face had just come out holding a fluffy, fleshy thing.
"Wow, it's gone up, it's gone up. ”
"It seems that the griffon's egg is seven hundred gold coins!"
"Yes, yes, fourth-level flying demonic beasts, as it should be. ”
"My God, seventy times the profit!"
......
Just when a group of people rejoiced and admired the luck of that lucky boy.
A nonchalant voice suddenly came: "Uncle Zhong, are they stupid, are they stupid!
......
