Chapter 21: Longyang Town

Longyang Town, as the only way to Qufu in Lu Province, has been a prosperous place since ancient times. Although the town is not large, its garrison guards are the most elite troops in the Lu country. In addition to maintaining the law and order of the town a little, their main job is to defend against the forces of the great demon seed tiger beasts in the forest south of the town.

But today, as soon as they had finished their lunch, they were all called to the gate of the city. Thinking that the demon seed was coming, they hurriedly put down their dishes and chopsticks, grabbed their weapons in unison, and ran forward in line. But when they came to the entrance of the town, they found that there was not even a single demon seed hair, but only a strange man covered in blood, with two giant beast fangs tied around his waist, a kitten on his head, and a fanatical light in his eyes......

"What, demon seed? Wronged, sir! You're slandering good people! ”

The officer on the other side looked at my dress, and also felt that the reason he had just said was a bit ridiculous. But he insisted, "But I still can't let you into the city." Because you're covered in blood, the devil knows if it's the blood left over from the mutilation of humans. ”

"Wronged!" I stepped forward, and the soldiers on the other side drew their weapons in unison and took a step back. The commander scolded even more: "One step further, don't blame us for being rude!" ”

"Worked hard" to fight so many magic cores, and now I am physically and mentally exhausted, and I came to the town full of joy but couldn't enter the door, what do you say!

"Meow~" Xiao Fang yawned and shouted: "Stupid, you won't come up with evidence!" ”

"Yes, sir, I have proof that I am not a demon seed!"

"Oh, what evidence?"

I pulled out a bunch of demon cores from my arms: "This is all I worked so hard to get this morning. This proves that I'm not a demon spy, right? ”

The soldiers over there were startled, and then began to whisper. At this moment, a soldier came out of the crowd and excitedly pointed to the tiger teeth on my waist and said, "I recognize them!" These two giant beasts have fangs, they are the ones of the great demon seed tiger beast! ”

The chief hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?" If it turns out that you lied, I will be court-martialed! ”

"Sir! I'm pretty sure! The last time the tiger beast suddenly attacked, the former commander went into danger alone in order to delay time, and in the end he was killed by this tiger tooth! As a result, we also had time to activate the defense of the mechanism and drive away the tiger beasts, otherwise Longyang Town would have been destroyed long ago! The soldier's eyes turned red as he spoke. Not only him, but all the soldiers who heard the story had red eyes.

After hearing this, the chief had a serious face, and suddenly pulled out his own matching knife and pointed straight at the sky: "All of them!" Line up on both sides! ”

The well-trained soldiers quickly stood in line at the town gate. I was left in front of the entrance of the town, facing the bright road and the inexplicable people in the town, and the masses were at a loss.

I was startled: "You guys, you don't want to stab me each while I'm in, do you?" ”

However, I was taken aback by the reaction from the other side. I saw the commander shouting, "Bow! After shouting, he took the lead in bowing to me. All the soldiers followed, bowing to me as well.

I was at a loss: "Comrades, it's hard work, no, don't be so polite, I just happened to kill the tiger beast." "But no matter what I say, they can't bow.

Xiao Fang couldn't stand it anymore, and "meowed" again: "This is the highest etiquette for Lu Guo to face warriors." All you have to do is enter the town. ”

"Ahem, okay." I dressed as best I could, and entered the town with solemn steps.

This time I entered the town during the day, and I was able to take a good look at this Longyang Town. The first thing that catches your eye is more than a dozen giant ballistae made of metal on the city wall. The structure of this ballista seems to be a bit complicated, and I didn't understand it for a while.

The architectural style of the Qin Di Lu Kingdom is similar to that of the Yan Kingdom, and the only difference is that the mechanism art here is very popular. Let's not talk about the cows, horses, and donkeys that come and go on the streets, but the windmills that dance in the wind on the roofs of most of the houses are very interesting.

Turning around, the soldiers lined up again, some of them returned to the town, and some of them were led by the non-commissioned officers to leave the town, presumably to go to the forest to check the situation of the tiger beast in person.

I shook my head and stepped into town. only to find that Xiao Fang pricked up his ears, looked at the side of the town, and showed a playful smile.

"Xiao Fang, what are you looking at? Beautiful cats? ”

"Where do you want to go, go and exchange the magic core for money."

Longyang Town is really not big, and after a little inquiry, I found the location of the magic core store. When we got to the store, the boss looked at our outfit and thought we were here to make trouble, and almost blew us out. But when I took out more than 30 magic cores, the boss's eyes widened, and he was making tea, pouring water, and asking if he was enthusiastic.

"Boss, don't mess with all this. If you want to change it, you can change it, and if you don't, I'll go find another one. ”

"Of course! Where is the reason not to do the business of delivering to the door. It's just a hero, our store is small, and we can accept you at most 20 pieces, okay? ”

"Twenty? Okay, too. ”

"Okay! Guarantee that Tong Su is not bullied! The boss happily picked out twenty of the darkest cores from the pile and put them away, and then handed me a money bag.

When I counted, it was exactly twenty gold coins. So he also put away the gold coins and the rest of the magic cores. When I was about to leave, Xiao Fang scratched my head and angrily "aimed": "Stupid! The second-order magic core is one gold coin. The third-order magic core is at least 1.5 gold! Just now, the boss picked up all ten third-order demon cores! ”

"And what's going on? Hum. I pulled down my face, drew my dagger, and stabbed it on the boss's counter.

"This guest. If you pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, you won't want to cheat, right? ”

I didn't answer directly, but pointed to the tiger tooth on my waist: "Boss, do you know what this is?" ”

"Animal teeth? Sorry, we don't accept this! ”

"Wrong! This is the fangs of the Great Demon Seed Tiger Beast of the Southern Forest! I pulled out the dagger from the table and gestured it in the boss's face: "The skin of the tiger beast is thick, and I cut it more than a dozen times before I cut it." Now, I'd love to give it a try, if it's the tiger beast or yours! ”

The boss fell to the ground with a weak leg and fell to the ground: "Ying, hero!" If you have something to say, it's good to say! I'm a ......."

"Stop! You've just taken away so many darker cores, I'm really blind! Give the extra money to your grandfather and I'll spit it out! ”

So the boss could only tremble and handed me a money bag: "I still have to support my family, there is really only so much!" Heroes spare their lives! I won't dare again! ”

I'll count, twelve gold coins! Obediently, there is really no treachery.

The money, dagger, and magic core were all packed, and I had just stepped out of the magic core store when a well-dressed young man suddenly rushed over and slipped in front of me.

"Damn! There are also porcelain touches in the King Continent? Folks, you have all seen it, it was he who poured it himself! ”

But in the next second, the young man stood up as if nothing happened, took my hand with a handful of snot and tears, and said, "Brother! The owner of this shop is nicknamed the killer of the countryside, and he is a first-class profiteer in Longyang Town. You're not going to give him all the cores, are you? ”

"No, no." The young man's expression was extremely sincere, and I was stunned for a moment.

"That's good, that's good. In fact, he is also a demon core merchant, but the store has opened farther away, so business has not been good. But don't worry! I'll buy all the remaining cores in your hands for 50% more than him! ”

"Really? So what are we waiting for, let's trade now! "My heart suddenly blossomed. It's going to be all sold, and I don't have to worry about money for a long time.

But the young man touched his arms and showed bitterness: "Hero, as soon as I heard that you were going to be deceived, I rushed here, and I forgot to take the money for a while. But it doesn't matter, the shop below is not far ahead, heroes, please come with me. ”

"Great!" I didn't even think about it, I just went with him. As I was leaving, Xiao Fang "meowed", rolled over on my shoulder, and continued to sleep.
