1031 Buying a car
The town of Entre is an ordinary imperial town that looks quite peaceful, even the scene of people coming and going cannot break the quiet and peaceful picture of this town, and the buildings of different sizes that stand around the central statue also extend to the surrounding area of this town with the flow of these figures, with the unique style of the town with the spire shape of the empire, the Gothic church, the mage tower and so on. As if in response to the existence of these styles, the NPC vendors and players who surrounded the central statue shouted and shouted a lot quieter, and the passers-by in a hurry kept passing by these simple and simple stalls as time passed, and then continued to set off towards the destination they wanted to move forward to - the town centered on the transportation hub must be able to drive the development of commerce, but there are not many goods that can be called unique, The goods on the stalls rarely attract the attention of these passers-by, and only the occasional tired pedestrian can be seen swaying in front of the stalls. Like the crowds of people who are constantly in and out of the real-world station, their eyes only glance at the goods before they look away, and only the three or two inns and taverns that surround the town can still be a solid harbor for these passers-by and travelers to linger here.
Everything seems so peaceful, but one thing stands out from the rest is the station itself, which has suddenly appeared next to the town square since the Free World version was upgraded.
"The train to Rodriguez is about to depart! Passengers get ready! β
"Due to the inspection of the Mage Council, the next train from the Imperial Capital will be fifteen minutes late, and if you are in a hurry, you can transfer to another train to continue your journey......"
"Whose salute has fallen here? Whose salute? If no one claims it, we'll be carried to the passenger hall in a moment! If you want to claim it, ask yourself! β
"You guys! Go to the back of the line! If you cut in line again, Lao Tzu will discount your legs with a stick! β
ββ¦β¦ It looks like it's busy. β
Sighing and taking his gaze back, Duan Qing turned his head in a low voice, and while lowering the brim of the hood used to hide his figure, he moved a few steps towards the side of the less crowded street: "But it's right to think about it, this is a station." β
"yes, it's a station." He also retreated to his side, and the giant axe warrior named Asahi Dongsheng on the side then pointed in the direction where the figures who were maintaining order were: "Even the security has been taken over by the Imperial soldiers...... In time, maybe the ministers of the empire will set up a railway gendarmerie or something in this name. β
"So who suggested we go get the train?" Lowering his wrist, Gedmayne, who was heavily armored and shining on his body, grinned at the rising sun's face: "Are you still thinking nonsense now? β
"What, what's wrong?" Asahi Dongsheng turned his head and pointed at Duan Qing: "As long as Brother Lin says a word, don't say it's a train, even if it's the palace, I'll rob it for you!" β
"Don't come to this set, I won't carry this pot."
slapped the other party's finger to the side, and Duan Qing, who was expressionless, turned to the other end of the station: "But since there is no drama in this place, then let's go another way." β
"Another way?"
"Where's the town's inn?"
Looking at the two people who didn't move, Duan Qing, who turned around, sighed helplessly: "The train can't make a carriage, and the goal of the carriage can be a little smaller." β
"It should be south of this town." Gedmayne, who had taken out the adventurer's handbook, pointed to a place on the map: "Because of the development of the magic train traffic, the situation there is much more deserted than before, so ...... Not. β
"Maybe things will go a little bit better."
As he spoke, the figures of the three men disappeared into the crowded streets, and then, when the slanting sun was about to turn the red of the setting sun, they found the gate of the post station mentioned by the heavily armored warrior. The small spire like the block buildings in the town was accompanied by several horse-drawn carriages side by side on the side of the road leading to the outskirts of the town, and the deserted scene was also in stark contrast to the busy station that Duan Qing and the others had seen before, and the gray-robed magician who stood at the door and watched for a while then also pulled his cloak and got into the small wooden door of the post station: "May I ask...... Is this a post station in the town of Entir? β
"It's a guest."
The simple counter with the dilapidated walls presented in front of Duan Qing with an ancient appearance that was different from the brightness of the external building, and a young imperial male sitting diagonally behind the simple counter also raised his eyelids when he heard the sound, and at the same time propped up his hand that had been supporting his head: "What's the matter?" β
"Uh...... Are you the manager of this place? So the smile on Duan Qing's face became a little clearer: "We...... Uh, we'd like to inquire about something, and I don't knowβ"
"Three hundred gold coins to Rodriguez, one hundred and fifty gold coins to Redkar, the imperial capital." Before Duan Qing could finish speaking, the imperial man who seemed to be the hostess of the post station raised his eyelids: "Because of the lack of resources, there is no round-trip service now." β
"What? Or is it a one-way trip? β
Before Duan Qing, who was blinking his eyes, noticed something from these words, the rising sun that had crossed Duan Qing's figure on the side shouted and patted the surface of the counter: "People's train tickets to the empire are only sold for thirty gold coins, okay?" How did it come to you and it became the price of five people? β
"Yes, yes, and much slower than they are." The hostess who tugged at the corners of his mouth snorted with disdain: "Where we need a day to get there, they only need two hours." β
"Damn, the goods are so poor, and the service attitude is so bad! Do you really want to do business anymore? β
"Anyway, since the Mage Council inexplicably developed this kind of magic train, our business has long since plummeted, and the carriages that have been running around outside all the time are now idle at home, and the coachmen's wages can't be paid...... Shh β
"I'm telling you what I'm talking about." In the atmosphere that gradually became silent, he looked around at Duan Qing's face on the other side of the counter: "So what? Do you sit or not? β
"Since your business is so difficult right now, then I have a more appropriate request." Looking at each other with his chin for a while, Duan Qing's eyes gradually showed a tentative light: "Do you sell your carriage?" β
ββ¦β¦ Sell. Slightly stunned, the receptionist with his chin slowly straightened up: "You want a carriage?" Of course sell. β
"How much?"
"Five thousand...... No, 8,000 gold coins. β
Ignoring the suddenly changing faces of the three big men who surrounded him, the young man of the empire said complacently: "No two prices, as long as eight thousand gold coins, you can choose those carriages outside." β
"Do you still have a conscience? Even fools can tell you're sitting on the ground and making a price! Asahi Dongsheng on the side roared loudly with a ruffian face: "Don't treat us as Kaizi!" β
"Our Noxus Chamber of Commerce is a century-old brand in the empire, both in terms of integrity and goodwill, and this is a post station, what you want to buy now is our food for a living." The man waved his hand indifferently: "Most of the eight thousand gold coins are the cost of the carriage and the cost of the horses, which are all the finest horses from the Norlid Plateau!" What's more, we've been in arrears a lot lately, so we have to find a place to share them......"
"So you want us to help 'share' it, don't you?"
With a deep sigh, the heavily armored warrior named Gedmayne slowly pulled out the huge blade behind his back, and then placed the blade horizontally on the counter in front of him in the momentum that gradually rose: "Since we must have a carriage, and you are so unkindβ"
A loud tremor then resounded one after another inside the station, accompanied by the shouts of battle that suddenly appeared near the neighborhood, and the Imperial youths in black shorts and black cloth strips on their heads then came out of the station without knowing where they came from, and rushed into the interior of the station in droves. The screams from the player then echoed in the south of the town that had just attracted the attention of passers-by after a period of persistence, and slowly flew towards the sky above Ntair with a few reborn white lights, and the figures belonging to Duan Qing and the three people then appeared in the distance of the road in the southeast of the town, and returned to the door of the post station with a grim face: "We bought it." β
"What to buy?" Still looking harmless to humans and animals, the lazy voice of the young man of the empire sounded again behind the counter of the post station, which had returned to calm: "You are also the ones who want to buy a carriage?" Strange, why are there so many troublesome adventurers today......"
"Just now, did you have any adventurers who wanted to buy a carriage?" wiped the cold sweat and green tendons off his face, and Duan Qing, who hurriedly changed his words, also showed an innocent expression like a passerby: "That's really a coincidence, ahahaha...... They, they didn't buy the carriage, did they? β
"Of course, we've chopped it into minced meat." The imperial young man casually pointed to the bloody and messy walls around him: "I don't know where the fool came out, and he dares to openly provoke at the door of our Noxus Chamber of Commerce...... Not. β
"You look a little like them." He narrowed his eyes, his gaze wandering over the bodies of Sunrise and Gedmayne, who immediately lowered their heads to cover their faces: "But forget it, you-that, what do you say you want to do?" β
"We want to buy a carriage." Duan Qing forcibly twisted the corners of his mouth into a kind smile: "Eight thousand gold coins, right?" We'll get the money we've scraped together in a moment. β
"Eight thousand gold coins? Who told you the price? Without continuing to listen to the other party's words, the receptionist's disdainful expression became a little more exaggerated: "In view of Uncle Ben's bad mood today, the price will increase now: 16,000 gold coins." β
"You X of me %#@*ββ"
The sound of ping-pong metal collision then resounded in this ancient and dilapidated post station again, followed by the sound of shouts and gatherings that should be heard, and the three Duan Qing, who were killed by countless strong men, also turned into even more powerless white light, and were reborn again in the temporary camp northeast of Entre Town: "...... Didn't you say that you weren't impulsive, why did you go first? β
"They deceive people too much! Theyβ"
Standing at the door of the tent and jumping for a long time, Duan Qing finally put down Chaotian's fingers: "Forget it, since it is an extraordinary period that does not dare to attract attention, let's let them go for the time being this time." β
"What? Someone else did it again? Placing Violet's body on the other side of the camp, she stood up and shook her long blue hair and turned around, "Do you want me to come with you?" β
"Don't don't, your name is still a little too big." Gedmane hurriedly raised his hands: "If the trouble is known all over the city, even if we can really get this field back, what is the use." β
"We set up camp here to find a secret place to wait for your good news, not for your infinite rebirth." Quietly put down the kettle in his hand, and Xue Ling, who was sitting on the top of a rock above the camp, slowly showed a teasing smile: "We don't want to help, but who patted his chest and said that he would definitely be able to do it when he set off before?" You die so often, it seems to be a bit different from what we expected. β
"Don't worry, Zhang Liang's plan can't be successful, we have our own other ladder to cross the wall." Duan Qing, who raised his hand to block the other party's view, then gritted his teeth and replied: "It won't work at the post station, then let's go to the central statue and continue to squat......"
"What, are you finally going to be a railway guerrilla?" Asahi Dongsheng on the side twisted his fist: "It's done!" I've been waiting for this moment for a long time! β
"Shut up!" What answered him was the staff that Duan Qing knocked out again: "Let's squat to squat players!" Not to squat at the station! β
"Since we won't be sold carriages, then we can only start from the player's side." The sleeves of his robe swollen violently in the air, and his staff then pointed to the eastern gate of the town of Nterre in the distance: "So many players going back and forth in and out of this place......"
"There's always a group or two of people with wagons...... Right? β
His voice paused for a few moments, accompanied by his eyes widening, and the eyes of the other players followed his paused movements to the middle of the road that several people had just passed, and then brought a carriage that appeared at the end of the horizon into each other's field of vision. Like a wild wolf that saw its prey, the Duan Qing trio, who claimed to be the vanguard, then trotted all the way to the side of the road on Cotan Avenue, and stopped in front of the carriage with weapons erected by each other, and also made several player-like figures sitting in the carriage take a fighting posture: "You, who are you?" What are you going to do? β
"Don't get excited, we're passing by." Duan Qing, who was holding the staff, suppressed back the imminent signs of battle between the two groups of people with all his might: "Our carriage was destroyed, so we want to take a ride, where are you going?" Can you take us with youβhuh? β
"Is that you?"
