Chapter 8: The Age of the Princes

Preface to "Intelligent Races in the World of China".

As long as there are interests, there will be conflicts, since the day of the "Cairo Declaration", the shadow of war has never left the world of China, but all races have still achieved the point that they do not deprive any race of the right to exist and reproduce. Therefore, even the undead who were born from the resentment of the dead, the demon race from another dimension, the demon race cultivated by various other non-intelligent beings, the titan race conceived by non-living matter, and the descendants of the ancient races that survived from the flood period to the present day The right to survive and reproduce has been respected, and they together with the 7 races that survived the thousand-year war constitute the current 12 intelligent races!

When he came to the blacksmith shop, the village chief saw the blacksmith Wang sitting at the door in a daze, the fire in the house had already risen, and the red fire reflected the small figure of the blacksmith, but it showed a strange atmosphere.

"Second Uncle Wang, what do you want?" The big village chief sat down beside the king blacksmith.

"The village chief is here! Hehe, nothing, think of a little bit of the past. Is there something wrong with the village chief? Blacksmith Wang woke up from his musings and smiled reluctantly.

"That's right, I heard that the second uncle stayed in the barracks, and I just have something to ask you." While looking around at the blacksmith shop, the chief said, "I saw that there are a few fortifications in our village's building options, so I came here to ask if it was useful." ”

"I don't know much about this... Maybe only Elder Li knows, right? When Blacksmith Wang heard the words of the big village chief, his face couldn't help but change.

"What is this?" Chief Omura's mind was no longer talking, his eyes were attracted by a weapon pressed under a pile of farm tools, and he reached out to take it and observe it carefully.

Fine Steel Knife: Attack 50~70 for a long time 500/500, additional tear damage reduces HP by 50 per second. (Unedged)

"This is what Second Uncle Wang has built these days?" After reading the attributes, the chief of the big village asked the king blacksmith.

"No... Is that... That's what I used to build in the barracks. Blacksmith Wang's expression looked a little flustered.

"No, there are no markings on this knife, it's not a saber! Moreover, this knife has no blade at all, and it has not been long since it was built, it should have been made shortly before the wild boar rebellion. Chief Omura took another closer look.

"It was really built before, and there is no good steel in this village, how can this kind of weapon be built." The king blacksmith exclaimed.

"No good steel? I remember when I got rid of wild boars... Those are definitely 100 forged steel, Second Uncle Wang! The village chief looked at the eyes of the blacksmith Wang and said sincerely: "When I first came, I listened to Elder Li introduce me, you have not been in Luliu Village for a long time, and you usually don't like to talk, but then I observed for a long time, second uncle, you have a lot on your mind." After a pause, the sincere man continued: "Uncle just arrived in our village that day, I heard that he was from Hongliu Village, and I was very surprised, only a few dozen miles away, you don't settle there, but come to us, why is this?" Looking deeply into the eyes of the blacksmith Wang, Wang Dafu said word by word: "You... At. Escape. Avoid. Miscellaneous. Is it? ”

Blacksmith Wang looked at Wang Dafu blankly, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Thirty years ago, there was a very powerful blacksmith in a small village, and he learned a good craft at a young age. Gradually, he did not want to stay in the village, he wanted to travel the world, he wanted to learn higher skills, and his dream was to create a magic weapon that was unparalleled in the world. There was a girl who loved the young blacksmith deeply, and although the blacksmith also liked this beautiful girl, he longed for the vast world outside the village! He told the girl that he was leaving the village to pursue his dreams. The girl was very sad, but she did not want to stop her beloved boy, so she made a thick dress for the boy with her own hands and watched the boy leave the village to pursue his dream. The quiet shop echoed the dreamy voice of the blacksmith, and the two elongated figures looked unusually sad in the light of the fire.

The boy has traveled a lot of places, constantly learning the skills of the master craftsmen, slowly he thinks that the peerless divine soldier can only be born on the battlefield of killing, only in the non-stop killing, can forge a peerless weapon, so he came to the north of the desert pass, the boy stayed in the desert for a full 10 years, countless divine weapons were born in his hands, but he always felt dissatisfied, always felt that the divine soldier in his dream was not like this, he asked himself countless times, what is the reason? Is it not enough skill, or is the material not good? He fell into endless depression, and could no longer build any weapons, and finally he left the border pass, returned to the village where he was born and raised, and saw the girl whose youth had passed away, but who had been waiting for him for twenty years, and with the blessing of everyone, they finally came together... ”

"Did that boy's dream come true?" Wang Dafu looked deeply into the eyes of the man in front of him.

"It's been achieved... After the boy became a man, the reason was finally found... It turns out that the weapon he created has no soul! So he began to pursue his dreams again... Blacksmith Wang's voice became even lower: "Finally, five years ago, he built a peerless divine soldier, and on the day of its release, the wind and clouds changed color and thundered greatly!" The man was so happy, after twenty years of hard pursuit, he finally fulfilled his dream! ”

Blacksmith Wang's eyes suddenly widened: "But, but it's this divine weapon... He has been pursuing the divine soldier for twenty years, and on the day it was baked... ”

"The divine soldier is coming, and the red blood is the guide... Wang Dafu remembered a tragedy introduced on the homepage.

Blacksmith Wang suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, yes! What that person said back then was also like this - the divine soldier is coming, and the red blood is the guide, hahaha. ”

"You know what? Do you know? I have been pursuing the Divine Soldier for twenty years, and the first drop of blood it has drunk... The blacksmith's face twisted wildly, and his hoarse voice was like a cuckoo crying blood: "The first drop of blood it drinks... It's my wife's blood! She waited for me for twenty years... Twenty years! Because of her, I was able to strike that knife! But, but... Holy damn it。。 In the end, the king blacksmith could not stop crying.

After sitting silently with Blacksmith Wang for an hour, his excitement finally eased: "From then on, I swear that I will never build any weapons again in this life!" To show my determination, I broke the phalanx of my left hand. ”

"And this knife?" Wang Dafu didn't know whether to ask any more questions.

"Sister-in-law Li's husband Li Xiang is my robe in Mobei, wild boars are in trouble, he asked me to help him fight a weapon, but... I really can't cut this knife ... The left hand is destroyed, and the heart is lost... Unintentional and powerless, I still didn't finish the knife in the end. "The king blacksmith was completely calm.

"So in the end he took the hunting knife and went to fight the wild boar, leaving the orphans and widows... Wang Dafu said in a deep voice: "The divine soldier came to the world to kill the world, but if he persists in goodness, he will do good; If you persist in evil, you will be evil! How innocent are the divine soldiers... Twenty years of hard work in exchange for a flash of surprise; Twenty years of waiting in exchange for a smile, but your husband and wife spent 20 years in exchange for a broken liver and intestines, is it just that? The divine soldier came into the world and was guided by blood, but if the divine soldier has a spirit and knows that what he is drinking is the blood of his biological mother, I am afraid that it will also look up to the sky and scream and die for revenge! ”

"Revenge? Can I get revenge? That person is strong in martial arts, rich in the world, and has 200,000 armor soldiers under his command, how can I take revenge? Blacksmith Wang hugged his head in pain, squatted on the ground and said.

"You can as long as you want!" Wang Dafu said sharply: "Auntie has spent twenty years waiting for the young genius who has traveled all over the world and pursued her dreams, instead of being afraid of the wreckage who let the robes around her take hunting knives to death!" What can you do if you don't fight a weapon in this life, except to let your robe be sent to death because you have no knife to use, and let your aunt be heartbroken by your decadence under Jiuquan, can you make that person have one less cold hair? The more he talked, the more angry he became, Wang Dafu grabbed the collar of the blacksmith, picked him up, and yelled at him: "You stand up for me and listen!" You cut this knife right now! In twenty years, we can build a majestic city that is the best in the world, and then you can have ten times as many as 200,000 armored soldiers. When the time comes... He's yours! A man who pushed the king blacksmith to the ground and dealt with the anger looked at him condescendingly: "Don't say any stupid things like not building a weapon in this life, you are burdened with the sustenance of all the innocent souls who died under that knife!" Because it's just you ... The creator of that knife! to be able to make something that can cut off resentment ... Wish! ”

Throwing the bladeless knife in his hand to the ground, Wang Dafu turned around violently and walked out of the gate to stand outside, saying, "The left hand is ruined, you can find a way to cure it; When the heart is gone, I can only tremble in the corner. ”

Blacksmith Wang sat in a daze for a while, then suddenly jumped up, picked up the bladeless knife, pulled out a huge whetstone, and sharpened it desperately。。。。。

An hour later, Wang Blacksmith walked out of the shop, handed the steel knife in his hand to Wang Dafu, stared at his eyes sharply, and said in a deep voice: "You say... He's mine? ”

Wang Dafu stared back without giving in: "I said. . . He's yours! ”

Suddenly, the voice of the system announcement sounded, "Blood is an alliance, the head of a village has completed the hidden task - crying blood and heart knots, the Eastern Continent has entered the era of princes, and the details are please explore by yourself" was announced three times in a row, and immediately in the monstrous waves of the Shenzhou world, for a while the world was like a fried pot, and players asked who completed the task? What was going on in the era of the princes? The whole "Life" was boiling.

At this time, Wang Dafu was already stupid, and he only heard the system prompt echoing in his ears all the time.

"You have completed the hidden quest - Crying Blood Knot, and the friendship of the blacksmith Wang Hua has increased. You get a 50% stake in the Wanghua Blacksmith Shop in Green Willow Village. You get an item - a sword"

Wang Hua, a blacksmith in Luliu Village, knotted his heart and partially recovered his strength. Upgrade to a high-level blacksmith. ”

"The blacksmith shop in Luliu Village has been upgraded to a level 2 blacksmith shop due to the improvement of blacksmith Wang Hua's strength."

"Luliu Village has obtained a special product - a sharp saber, and the popularity of the village has increased"

A flurry of rewards knocked a lucky man unconscious.

Finally returning to normal, he quickly and carefully inspected the reward items he had obtained.

-------------------------------------------------- Commander -- --- --- decide on --- fate --- fortune-----------------------------------------------

"Yunyan, immediately go and find out what is going on in the era of princes, the vampire maniac is speeding up the level, and he must be the first to change jobs." A handsome player stood between a group of men and said calmly.

"Hahaha, I can finally get out of this goddamn newbie village." A rookie player stands next to a hare boss and laughs to the sky.

"Hadgis, what are you doing?" A player village chief in the West Continent walked into their village tailor shop, and the lights in the shop reflected the figure of the tailor, showing a strange atmosphere...

"Crying blood knot, actually crying blood knot, he actually completed the task of crying blood knot... Donnie Yen looked at the figures of Wang Dafu and Wang Blacksmith from a distance and muttered to himself.

"One in 100,000... The same was true of King Xiang back then... Zhang Lao sat at the desk and shook his head and looked at a book.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Is it coming?。。。 In the distant Sky City, a domineering man's hand flashed.

β€œΒ·οΏ₯%……—*οΌˆοΌβ€ The nonsense of the monkeys of the island nation.

"The real troubled times are about to begin... The silent words echoed repeatedly in the world of China...

The culprit of the troubled times is not a little conscious, and is still thinking about his own things: "Specialty? What is it? It seems that I have to hurry up and ask Old Man Li, there are more and more things I don't know."

Having made up his mind, Wang Dafu walked towards Elder Li's hometown.

There was a heavy sound of striking iron in the blacksmith shop behind him. A bang. Spread to the distant sky...

When he came to Li Laohan's house, Wang Dafu greeted Elder Li: "Old Li, how is Brother Li's injury?" I didn't bother to come up to see him. ”

Elder Li saw Wang Dafu walk in, stood up and said hello, and replied, "Thank you for the village chief's concern, there is nothing wrong with the child, and he can now move normally." ”

Wang Dafu waved his hand and sat down at the table: "That's good, so I'll rest assured." Elder Li, I just read the village log of our village, and our village now has a special product - a sharp saber, I want to ask you what is the use of this! ”

Elder Li's eyes widened: "Specialty? Now there's a specialty? Let me see... ”

After taking out the village log and looking at it for a while, a look of joy appeared on his face: "Congratulations to the village chief, congratulations to the village chief." ”

Wang Dafu had a black line: "I said Li Lao, don't come to some hypocrisy, you quickly tell me what this is!" ”

Elder Li smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, as the name suggests, the specialty is a product unique to each village. ”

A few drops of cold sweat crossed Wang Dafu's face: "I also know this... ”

Elder Li pretended not to hear: "In fact, each territory has its own specialty, but generally speaking, it is possible to develop it if it becomes a level 4 village, like the specialty of our village before it was downgraded is - Piaoxiang tea, which is exported to the whole country... "The saliva of the older generation of saliva men is squirting. Squirt. Gush..

Wang Dafu was completely dumbfounded: "Stop, stop, I said Li Lao, that Piaoxiang tea is gone now, our current specialty is a saber, you still tell me about this... ”

Elder Li was abruptly interrupted, and glanced at Wang Dafu with resentment: "Then let me talk about this saber, if you want to say that this saber is a good thing, don't say that ordinary villages, even low-level towns can't be built, and the Baishu Town above us can't be built, this is very valuable, because it... "The saliva continues to squirt. Squirt. Gush..

Wang Dafu felt as if he was back under the red flag: "Elder Li, I understand, to put it bluntly, isn't this thing on the market, it is very, very valuable... This is a great thing for our village. THINK ABOUT IT ... "Growing up under the red flag, the child is very confident in spitting...

The coachman Yalu hid at the door, listening to the two saliva men spraying there, and finally took a moment, and hurriedly pushed the door in: "Boss, I'm here, you said that I had something to wait for you here." ”

Wang Dafu and Elder Li, who were interrupted by him, looked at him with resentment, and saw that he was terrified.

Wang Dafu spoke: "Yalu, you go to the town and the Quanji Chamber of Commerce to find Wu Liang now, tell him that Luliu Village now has a specialty-sharp saber, and then wait there and bring back what he gave you." And put this recruitment order on the town. He handed the order to Alu.

After thinking about it for a while, he turned his head and said to Elder Li, "Let the pillar go with him, there is a pillar in the stable position." ”

Elder Li nodded in agreement and went to the back room to call his son.

At this time, Alu said with a bitter face: "Boss, can you not call me Alu, it's not good!" It feels like calling a puppy! ”

Wang Dafu looked at him strangely: "Then what do I call you?" ”

The honest young man thought for a while and said, "My father's surname is Mu, so you will be called Mu Lu!" ”

Wang Dafu waved his hand: "Got it, Yamu." ”

The honest young man cried with a sad face: "It's Mu Lu! ~~”

"Oh... Munu ... ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€

After the two young people left, Wang Dafu and Elder Li sat together and continued to chat.

Wang Dafu asked: "Old Li, I see that some industries need to be reported to the town when they open the door, and some don't need to, how is this divided!" ”

Elder Li smiled slightly: "Actually, it's quite simple, like a blacksmith shop!" Tailor shop! Drugstore! These purely personal behaviors, whose main purpose is to make a profit, do not need to be reported. If it's a private school! Martial arts hall! There will also be a career assessment center in the future! This kind of industry that involves the cultivation of the next generation and is mainly public welfare undertakings needs to be reported to the town, and the town will also arrange a certain subsidy. ”

Wang Dafu suddenly realized: "That's it." Then I understand. Is there anything else to look out for? ”

Elder Li thought for a moment: "If you want to upgrade the village and open up direct trade routes with other towns, you have to report to the town, and the town will send someone to inspect it; However, if you only develop resources in the territory, you don't need to report it. There's nothing left to be in."

Wang Dafu thought for a while: "Isn't it that qualitative changes need to be assessed, and quantitative changes only need to be accumulated by themselves?" It's so complicated."

Seeing that he was thinking, Elder Li didn't bother, picked up the tea bowl, and took a sip.

Wang Dafu remembered one more thing: "Elder Li, I see that there are still some fortifications on the list of buildings, are they useful?" ”

Elder Li continued to taste the tea: "If you want to say that it is useful, it is very great... ”

Wang Dafu hurriedly asked: "Then when will we build it?" ”

Elder Li savored the tea: "If you want to talk about us, it doesn't need to be built for the time being... ”

Wang Dafu fell directly to the ground: "Didn't you say that it was very useful?" ”

Elder Li finally finished tasting the tea: "It's very useful!" But that's for those towns and villages at the border, and we're in the prosperous area of the Eastern Continent, and there are no robbers around, so why build that? ”

Wang Dafu vomited three liters of blood: "Damn, that thing of feelings is just an ornament for us!" ”

Elder Li shook his head: "I can't say that, although I don't need it now, but because I don't know that bastard has completed that ghost task, the Weeping Blood Heart Knot, the troubled times are coming, and these things can come in handy at that time." ”

The man who was called a bastard in front of him got up and rubbed his nose: "Troubled times? Do you mean the age of princes? ”

Elder Li nodded heavily: "Yes! The era of princes is actually equal to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in history! It's just that Zhou Tianzi has been replaced by the current Eastern Continent Council... ”

Wang Dafu understood what Elder Li meant: "The strong are respected... ”

Elder Li, who was in a heavy mood, nodded: "The strong are respected... ”

The heavy atmosphere made the two of them fall into their own thoughts at the same time: "... ”

Elder Li was thinking, "Aren't you kid planning to eat at my house again?" You can eat better than a pig. ”

Wang Dafu was thinking: "It's time to eat soon, let's eat at his house today"

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€ (A bunch of shoes fly up, "Damn, you kid spoils the atmosphere")

In the afternoon, Mu Lu and the others returned, and Wang Dafu was napping in the village chief's office.

The honest young man pushed the door in and shouted loudly: "Boss, I'm back, this is the money that little white face gave you." As soon as I went to tell you what you had to say, the little white face hurriedly ran to find their owner, and within half an hour, the little white face ran back again, and gave me 5,000 gold coins at once, let me bring it to you, saying what kind of investment? The boss is sending it now.。。。 Well? What's wrong with you, boss? ”

Wang Dafu was completely drowned in saliva...

The next day, the tailor shop, pharmacy, private school, and mule and horse shop in Luliu Village announced that they had entered the construction at the same time, and at this time, the village chief of the big city was already drooling, and he only had the delicious food made by Liao Yanran in his mind.

When I got off the plane, I found that it was already late at night. Stretching his waist and walking out of the room, Wang Dafu was stunned! The whole living room was spotless, there was a trace of fragrance in the air, and there was no longer any garbage in the sky, even his clothes that had not been washed for N years had been washed and hung on the balcony, and when he looked around, he found that Liao Yanran had fallen asleep on the sofa. It can be described as a miracle that one person can clean a large house of 500 square meters in one day. I think that when the Chinese New Year was born, the housekeeping company came to a whole team, and it took two days to get it done!

Looking at the girl's quiet face, Wang Dafu felt a burst of warmth, in the current society, how many girls are willing to work hard to clean the room? It has long been replaced by intelligent robots. What's more, the girl in front of her still has good cooking skills... Thinking of cooking, Wang Dafu couldn't help it, and walked to the kitchen, only to find that there was no food? Thinking about it, he was also relieved, after all, after cleaning such a large house, everyone would be tired.

It suddenly occurred to me that the girl must not have eaten either. Wang Dafu put on an apron and decided to show off his skills.

20 minutes later, Wang Dafu finished eating, walked to the girl's side, and gently patted the girl's face: "Girl, it's time to eat." ”

The girl sat up in a daze, showing a lazy look, which made Wang Dafu drool a lot.

"What to eat... I don't think I'm in a hurry yet! "A girl who hasn't woken up yet.

"Hey, look at my craft" smug man.

The two of them walked to the dining room, where two bowls of fragrant, buttery egg fried rice were placed on the table, exuding a tantalizing charm.

Smelling the aroma of fried rice, the girl was completely sober, glanced at Wang Dafu, and the girl smiled and said, "Isn't this the highest level in the legend?" ”

Wang Dafu smiled wisely: "Haha, yes, this is the highest level"

Sitting together silently, accompanied by the highest level of fragrance lingering in the room is a tacit warmth.
