111 Scorching Fire Tongs (Back)
After lunch, the convoy of the Black Tulip Brigade was ready to leave.
In the past, when I passed through here, I usually spent half a day working on various tasks, but today I had to give up for the time being because I had to hurry.
Agni did not set off with the convoy, because usually it was time to leave the line at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and if they continued to follow the convoy, they would only have to set up a tent halfway to set up a safe house. Without a professional camp, it is very dangerous to set up a tent alone, so after discussion, Agni did not choose this method.
Agni is going to stay in the Black Gold Village for the night, and then after going online tomorrow, he will ride alone on the Electric Qilin Lightning to catch up with the progress of the convoy.
Minter and the others had also learned about the power of the Electro Qilin, and naturally they were envious that Agni could obtain such a mount. With this mount, Agni can catch up with tomorrow before the convoy departs.
"Brother Agni, it's okay for you to be alone in Heijin Village, right?" In the carriage, Amelia asked worriedly.
"Don't worry! No problem! Agni smiled and stood under the car and waved at the two of them, "I'll be able to catch up with you tomorrow morning, and the speed of the lightning is much faster than the convoy!" ”
"Agni, be careful when you spend the night in an aboriginal village." Minte also poked his head out and said, "After all, this is the boundary of the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Mandate Alliance, and any situation is possible, so be careful of outsiders and try not to contact them." ”
Agni nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry! ”
"Be safe when you live in a tavern, it's best to lock your room and go offline!"
Hearing her say this, Agni laughed, "Okay! I'm not a child, with my strength, I won't encounter danger, don't worry! “
Minter sighed, "It's not about strength, you don't know what the situation was when we first started the exploration mission...... It's okay when you're in the team, but after you leave the team, you have no prestige at all in Black Gold Village, and no one knows what will happen......"
Her face was a little gloomy, but after a moment, she returned to normal, "No matter what, try not to have too much intersection with the locals, if there is less intersection, then the contradiction will not happen!" ”
Agni shrugged, "Alright, alright!" I understand! But you guys, be careful on the road! ”
After the convoy entered the wasteland, it was natural to encounter the beasts and monsters that attacked, which were much more dangerous than the fire, so the fire said.
Bidding farewell to everyone, the convoy of black tulips faded away, and it was not until there was no longer a trace of them that the fire turned and walked towards the village.
……
Heijin Village is small, no more than the size of a football field, and there are about three to four hundred inhabitants in it.
After all, it is located on the edge of the wasteland, and it is impossible to set up a village that is strong enough to resist monsters. Of course, it can't be too small.
In any case, this small black gold village has survived tenaciously here, relying on its own way to resist foreign invasion.
Agni walked along the road in the village, and the guards at the entrance of the village looked more skilled, unlike in Asit. This is also natural, the Falling Springs Forest generally does not have too powerful beasts, and it does not require too exquisite combat skills, while the guards of the Black Gold Village are always conscious of sacrifice.
The guards knew Agni and knew that he was a member of the Black Tulip Brigade, so they didn't show anything out of the ordinary, and let Agni enter the village.
The village is a little dirty, after all, it is a settlement for a living from minerals, and ore and black ash can be seen everywhere. The children of the village also had dirty faces, stared at the black eyes, and looked curiously at the brightly dressed Agni.
Unlike the natives, the Warfighter's body and equipment owner are self-cleaning, so Agni is dressed in white armor and has no trace of dust, making it seem a little out of place in this dusty village.
There is only one tavern in the village, which also doubles as a hotel.
"Blazing Flames"
A very local name, this is the only tavern in the village and the village's trading station, where the occasional passing merchant stops and sells his goods.
Agni looked up at the sign that was also stained with black ash, then lowered his head, pushed open the door to the tavern, and stepped inside.
Surprisingly, it was much cleaner, with a few tired-looking merchants chatting and drinking low-quality ale, and a middle-aged couple cooking food at the bar.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the two hurriedly raised their heads.
"Welcome!" The middle-aged couple said, but they were stunned when they saw Agni's costume.
Agni's fully armed appearance startled them a little. Unlike the occasional mercenary who passed by, Agni was dressed in armor of good texture at first glance, with a long sword hanging from his waist, a fluffy cloak behind him, and an insignia on his chest indicating his identity as the captain of the Black Tulip Brigade!
Of course, they knew about the Black Tulip Brigade, but they didn't expect that after the convoy left, there were still people left.
"Great, sir...... Don't know how we can help you? The man in the middle-aged couple said, apparently the boss here.
"Please give me a clean single room, I'm going to rest here until tomorrow morning, thank you!" Agni smiled softly.
The boss opened his mouth, as if he didn't understand why Agni was resting here, but the obedience made him not ask, just walked out of the bar, and then guided Agni upstairs.
In this world, the inferior naturally carries with them the reverence of the superior, because the transcendent with power can, to some extent, control the life and death of the subordinate almost at will. In the eyes of the boss, this kind of outfit is obviously this kind of transcendent.
The well-informed boss can see that Agni is different from ordinary mercenaries or warriors, and although he seems to be only a teenager, he can be sure that he is a superior with extraordinary powers.
The staircase creaked and the tavern had a two-story structure, with the dining and drinking areas and the couple's rooms below, and the guest rooms upstairs.
This kind of room is naturally not too luxurious, an ordinary single room, a bunk, and a room with no bed but a floor bunk. There are not many merchants and mercenaries coming and going in the village, and if they come here occasionally, they will choose to shop or shop on the ground, but for them, the single room is a bit of a luxury.
The boss took out the key and opened the locked room.
The single room is cleaned up, after all, it is specially provided for the "rich" to stay, although there are no extravagant decorations, are some cheap materials, but the overall feeling is very comfortable.
"My lord, do you think it's okay here? If there is a request, you can ask for it. The boss bowed and smiled humbly.
Agni looked around and nodded. In fact, there is nothing to see, just find a safe house offline, even if you don't even have a bed, the fire doesn't matter.
"Yes, here it is!" Agni said, "How much does it cost?" ”
The boss rubbed his hands together and said, "For one night, it's fifteen silver solas, and we also provide a sumptuous dinner!" ”
The ground shop, there are only 5 copper corners, and the whole shop is only two silver solas, and the single room is relatively much more expensive, and those who can live in a single room are not ordinary travelers.
But for Agni, the price was not much, he nodded, then took out his coin purse, counted out twenty silver solas, and handed them to the boss, who hurriedly reached out and took it.
"Dinner is not necessary, but by daybreak tomorrow, prepare me a breakfast and two horses of fine forage, and I need to leave early in the morning." Agni said, "I'm sorry to leave early!" ”
"Yes, yes." The boss hurriedly said, "Don't worry, we will be able to prepare breakfast and fine grass for you tomorrow when the first rooster crows, and we will definitely not miss your time!" ”
As he spoke, he handed the key to Agni again, "This is the key to the room, you can keep it." There's only one key here, so you don't have to worry about anyone bothering you! ”
With that, the boss bowed down and exited the room, then closed the door for Agni.
"Whew!" Alone in the room, the fire relaxed, leaned back on the bed, and exhaled softly.
The beds are not bad, and there is no smell, which is already difficult for such a small mountain village.
He lay down on the bed, rested for a while, then rolled over, walked to the window, and looked outside. It's still a little early, and if you take it offline now, it won't do you any good for your body in the real world.
Agni turned on the body monitor, and .net slept for about an hour. Although it is possible to choose sleep mode when offline, since it is possible to keep the god puzzle asleep in the game, Agni doesn't want to waste time, so maybe he can use that time to do something......
Thinking like this, Agni suddenly remembered Tong Junwen's entrustment, perhaps...... Can you use this hour to do that experiment?
Try the Aboriginal threshold!
What kind of world is this? Why don't the Aborigines have too many questions about the warlords who are clearly anomalous to them? Is there really a threshold that controls their behavior? It takes Agni to find the answer through experimentation.
Blackgold Village is a small village far from Elonshio, and is located right on the edge of the Manifest Destiny Alliance's sphere of influence, and from what Minter said before, there seems to be a significant difference between the natives under the Manifest Destiny Alliance and the natives outside of it.
This kind of place is exactly where the threshold is to experiment with the aborigines!
Having made up his mind, Agni cleaned up slightly, changed out of his armor, put on his normal clothes, locked the door, and walked downstairs.
