Chapter Twenty-Three: Three Thousand Wishes
That night, Xu Zhen appeared in the temporarily purchased compound.
The courtyard is located outside the city, and beyond is a dense forest, although it is not as safe as in the city, but after all, it is still within the fortifications of the Xu family's army, at least the safety of life can still be guaranteed, not to mention that Xu Zhantian has already received news from Xu Zhen, although he feels that for the "seniors", he is a redundant move, but he still temporarily increased the defensive density on the periphery of the compound.
In the compound at the moment. More than 100 timid ragged children stood in front of Xu Zhen in twos and threes, although they were the children of poor families who had been in charge for a long time, but for the first time they left their parents, facing the fear of the unknown, they did not cry, the courage of this group of children was already extraordinary.
Let Tie Niu arrange for someone to bring a full 108 sets of new clothes and send them to the children below one by one, after getting the new clothes, the children's faces finally eased a lot, and then looked at Xu Zhen with a little less fear.
Looking at the eyes of the children looking at him, Xu Zhen smiled slightly: "Little guys, tell me, what do you want most now?" As long as you say it today, I can satisfy you! Except, of course, the request to go home."
"Can you really mention anything?" It was Li Sanqian, who was the first to pass Xu Zhen's interview during the day, three thousand happened to be ten years old, and there were many ghost ideas, and in this group of children, he was also a leader. Usually I am more friendly with Tie Niu, so I didn't have too much fear at this time.
"Of course!" Xu Zhen said with a smile.
"Then I want money!" Sanqian's face suddenly turned red and said in a low voice.
"Oh? Want money? Hehe, tell me, how much do you want? Xu Zhen couldn't laugh or cry.
"Is 1 gold coin okay? If it doesn't work, 50 silver coins will do," Sanqian's voice became lower and lower
"Oh? Can you tell me what you're asking for all this money for? Is it saving for a future wife? Ha Lu Ha. ”
"You just married a daughter-in-law, huh! Don't pull it! Ask so much what for! Three thousand little faces twisted and snorted coldly.
"Three thousand, you can't be unreasonable to Mr.!" Iron Bull spoke up.
"It's okay, three thousand, this kid has ambition, he knows how to save money to marry a daughter-in-law at such a young age, it's much stronger than you and me when I was a child, ha" Xu Zhen showed a sly smile.
"Humph! I said that I didn't want to marry a daughter-in-law, I just wanted to buy the sword in the weapon shop and give it to Brother Tie Niu! Hearing that the old man made fun of himself, Sanqian finally couldn't help but retort, "Brother Tie Niu often brings us good food, and often helps us, he is so tired of pulling a cart every day, and he also helps my father with his work, I know that Brother Tie Niu must like that sword!" Last time, I saw Brother Tie Niu looking at the sword outside the blacksmith shop! So, I just want to buy that sword and give it to Big Brother Tie Niu! Hum! You don't understand it! After saying it in one breath, Sanqian still puffed up his little head and didn't look at Xu Zhen.
"Xie Lu, thank you, Sanqian, you have grown up" After listening to Sanqian's words, Tie Niu squatted down, stroked Sanqian's head, and said softly.
The two of them who were warm and affectionate suddenly heard a crisp sound unique to a weapon.
"Sanqian, what do you think of this sword?" At this time, Xu Zhen was holding a simple giant sword with a silver-white body in his hand.
Tie Niu and San Qian turned their heads and were immediately completely attracted by the unique style of the giant sword in Xu Zhen's hand. That sword actually didn't have a sword tip, but the sword body was extremely wide, carved with many extremely complex carvings, and the two blades flashed with a chilling blue light, looking as domineering as possible!
When the boys are together, swords and exercises are always indispensable in the conversation, especially in this dangerous continent, although Tie Niu and Sanqian can't get access to how good the exercises are because of their poor family background, and even before they met Xu Zhen, the best weapon they have ever seen in this life is only the most common thing that the weapons in the city are hanging on the wall, but even the most ordinary iron sword made of the lowest grade iron ore can only be seen from a distance.
But at this moment, when they suddenly saw the superb giant sword in Xu Zhen's hand that could bloom with a little milky white light, how could they not make the two of them feel shocked! It's the first time I've seen such a huge sword! Especially, when that little bit of starlight floats close to my body, the feeling of fullness of my whole body is so wonderful
"It's beautiful," Michiba muttered.
To be honest, in fact, when he first took out this sword, Xu Zhen himself was also taken aback, because this sword was very similar to a weapon in a game that was popular in an era in his previous life!
"Damn, isn't this just the opening of the sky?"
At this moment, the sword in Xu Zhen's hand is the best level 30 pink giant sword of the guardian knight - the soul of the guardian that was opened in the gift package before, but he didn't expect that when he got it in reality, his appearance would become so domineering! Maybe it's because it comes with a guardian skill, so when it comes to this world, the whole sword shines with a milky white light, and it can actually bloom a little bit of light on its own, and the closer you get to this starlight, the more energetic you feel, thinking that this sword should be able to release a range of buff states.
I wanted to dance a few brushes to brush up on the majesty, but this sword is too heavy for Xu Zhen now! I had to erect the sword on the bluestone under my feet with a bang, put a POSS who thought he was most like the Lich King, and said with a smile: "The name of the sword is the soul guard, the quality, it should belong to the holy level, at least the fighting spirit level is needed to truly grasp the mystery of this sword, how about it?" Three thousand, if you agree to my request, I will give you this sword Brother Tie Niu. ”
"What do you say? Really give this sword to Brother Tie Niu?! Three thousand asked in a hurry.
"Of course, besides, I'm not very demanding." Xu Zhen stood up, looked at the hundred young children in the courtyard and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will give you the best food, the best clothes, the sharpest weapons, and the most suitable exercises and fighting skills for you!" And you only need to spend all your time cultivating, of course, I will conduct an assessment of you once a month, and the bottom three of each assessment can go home and reunite with their parents."
"As for you, Li Sanqian." Xu Zhen looked down at the stubborn kid in front of him and said, "As long as you can enter the top ten in every assessment, then this weapon in my hand belongs to your big brother Tie Niu!" ”
"You have to talk the talk! I'm definitely in the top 10! Li Sanqian clenched his small fists and said resolutely.
How could Tie Niu not see Xu Zhen's method of agitation, looking at the old man in front of him who made him the most respected, Tie Niu's heart became more and more determined!
In fact, Xu Zhen is not afraid that the group of children below will not seek progress in an arrogant environment, on the contrary, he will do his best to improve the living standards of his group of weak subordinates.
Because after all the suffering, once the taste of honey is tasted, no one will be willing to let go
