Chapter Ninety-Nine: The City of Steel II
Wu Wei stepped into the teleportation array, there was a dazzling white light in front of him, he felt dizzy slightly, closed his eyes and waited silently, and soon felt that his feet were on the ground, and a chill hit, he couldn't help but shiver and opened his eyes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Wu Wei found himself in a stone room, the whole room was empty, it was really a world away from the teleportation circle hall in Fuxing City, which was already overcrowded, and this place was empty.
Wu Wei coughed lightly, but still did not respond except for his own echo. He scratched his head and walked down the stone steps to a stone gate where there was a glimmer of light. Through a long corridor, we came to a large hall, also made of stone, the room was dim, only a few rays of sunlight came through the closed door, and the two wooden doors were very dilapidated, and they shook with the sound of the wind whistling outside the door, and if it were not for a huge deadbolt stuck in it, I am afraid it would have been blown away long ago.
Wu Wei took a closer look in the hall through the sunlight, and finally found an old man in a corner, he wrapped his body tightly in a blanket, nestled on the plush sofa, and slept soundly, and his beard and eyebrows were covered with hoarfrost which did not affect his sleep.
Wu Wei called a few times softly, and found that it had no effect, the wind whistling outside the door overwhelmed his voice, and he could only reach out and push on the old man, but he didn't expect that as soon as he touched him, the old man immediately jumped up, and he didn't open his eyes before he felt out the scimitar on his waist, Wu Wei hurriedly dodged, and when the old man came to his senses, he looked left and right, only saw a vague figure, and asked: "Who!" Joke like that with the old man? ”
Wu Wei hurriedly took a few steps forward, walked in front of the old man, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest, I teleported." ”
The old man didn't seem to hear what Wu Wei said, shook his hand and said, "It's been broken for half a year, and it can't be teleported." ”
Wu Wei was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" I just teleported! When will it be fixed? ”
The old man plucked out his ears and said, "Just teleported? Hehe, you're unlucky, it's broken, it's broken, it's not repaired, and no one comes to fix it, no one has teleported it for a long time, I thought the receiving circle was also broken, it seems to be easy to use, hehehe, young man, I think you can only walk back! ”
"Can you stop making trouble! I'm still in a hurry to go back and have a lot to deal with. Wu Wei said crying.
The old man walked to the door, pulled the bolt of the door, a gust of wind blew in, blowing the door wide open, the old man beckoned to Wu Wei and said, "Get out quickly!" The old man still has to sleep, and he will tell you a good news, there is also a teleportation circle in the city lord's mansion, and if he tells you another bad news, the city lord will not use it for others when he comes in a hurry. Hehehehe, hurry up and get things done, let's go back! Recently, the snow has been lighter, and when the heavy snow covers the mountain, it will be next year before I can go out. ”
Where did Wu Wei know that almost no one used this teleportation circle, because the merchants who came here all took their convoys by land, and because the goods here were all mid-level and low-level equipment, there were few high-quality products. It is mainly used to equip the army, and no one will teleport over to buy personal equipment. Therefore, no one even knew that the returning circle had damaged Fuxing City, and the round-trip circle became a one-way teleportation circle.
Wu Wei walked out of the hall without tears, and when he turned around, he wanted to ask something more, but he saw the door slamming shut, and he had no choice but to leave here.
Wu Wei walked down the steps of the teleportation hall, and what appeared in front of him was a strange city, the whole city was made of gray-white rocks, the city streets were very narrow, the houses on both sides were closed, there was no one on the street, and there was no one who wanted to ask for directions, so he tried to choose offline, returned to the landing space, and then chose to come, and sure enough, he returned to the place where he had just gone offline, prompting that he could not leave this place due to space constraints.
Wu Wei had no choice but to continue walking, until he came to the location of the city center, there were more people, the center of the city is a huge square, in the middle of the square is a withered tree of life, indicating that a long time ago, there was also a tree of life here to survive, for some reason withered.
There are several taverns and inns around the square, Wu Wei was about to find a random one to go in to inquire about the news, and suddenly saw a group of people on the main road in the south, about a dozen people, followed by more than 20 carriages, it should be a caravan, and the people in the square rushed over, desperately pulling the caravan to promote their hotel.
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy with a big cotton hat also ran back and forth in it, shouting loudly, but he was too small and his strength was not enough, he was squeezed by the crowd on the periphery, he desperately drilled in, the person in front of him felt annoyed, and with a hard shake of his hand, the boy was thrown to the ground, slowly sat up, and looked at the crowd in front of him silently shedding tears.
Wu Wei felt a trace of compassion in his heart, walked up to the young man, and pulled him up. The young man saw that the face of the visitor was tight, and he was not a local, so he asked happily: "Are you a foreign businessman?" ”
Wu Wei thought about it and nodded without speaking.
The young man was even happier when he saw Wu Wei nodding, and asked, "Have you not found a place to live yet?" ”
Wu Wei nodded again.
The boy smiled and said, "Come to our warm hotel!" The price is fair, and the three meals are included, you will definitely be satisfied. ”
Wu Wei smiled and said, "Okay, don't waste time, lead the way." ”
The young man looked left and right, and then asked, "Are you alone?" What about carriage cargo? ”
Wu Wei scratched his head and said: "Don't worry about those, I'm just alone, the store money will definitely not be less than you, and there is a tip in place for the service, how about it?" ”
The young man was a little disappointed when he saw that he only pulled one guest, but after thinking about it, this was the first guest he had pulled today, and he didn't feel happy again, patted the snow sticking to his back, and said to Wu Wei: "Let's go!" Come with me, our hostel is definitely the most comfortable in the city, and I don't lie to you. ”
Wu Wei smiled and threw out a gold coin and said, "Lead the way, don't run to solicit customers when you get to the place, I have something to ask you." ”
The boy took the gold coin, and although he smiled, he was not very excited, and said, "Of course, but it can't be delayed too long." After speaking, he led Wu Wei to the alley to the north.
Wu Wei was unmoved when he saw the young man throwing out a gold coin, he was not curious, and asked, "How much is your hotel a day?" ”
The boy replied as he walked, "It's cheap!" 20 gold coins, three meals, and 25 gold coins in other hotels! ”
Wu Wei couldn't help but be shocked, and thought to himself: "The prices here are still high, it should be that the outsiders who come here are businessmen, the price of these 25 gold coins a day is naturally nothing compared to the consumption of two months' journey, as long as a large number of weapons and equipment are transported back to the southern city, it will be ten times the profit." It is estimated that a meal here costs a few gold coins, and it is too normal for a teenager not to look at a single gold coin. ”
