Chapter 13: Weapon Shops and Ambushes
In the hotel room, Tang Zhen and Qianlong chatted. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Listening to Qianlong, he was busy selling the food left by Tang Zhen for the past two days, and after shopping around, he finally chose to sell these 'sophisticated' foods to this grocery store because they gave the highest price.
As a result, Tang Zhen's grains and oils, which were not valuable in this world, were sold at a good price in the other world, and the most valuable of them were those seasonings.
For the natives of the other world, the food cooked with these seasonings is very delicious.
As he spoke, Qianlong handed over these brain beads to Tang Zhen at the same time.
Tang Zhen ordered a hundred of them and handed them to Qianlong, who refused to accept them, but Tang Zhen still forced him to accept them. He doesn't care about this little brain, he cares about Qianlong.
Qianlong reluctantly accepted these brain beads, and said that he had taken a fancy to a piece of equipment, and now that he had these brain beads, he would go back to the weapon store and buy them.
Tang Zhen said: "Anyway, if we have nothing to do, why don't we go to the weapon shop in the town and have a look." ”
He said in his mouth, and he also had the idea of investigation in his heart, after all, the price of weapons is so high, he said that it was a lie if he was not moved. Now take advantage of this opportunity to investigate.
Qianlong also couldn't wait, so he set off immediately.
The two walked out of the inn side by side and walked down the messy streets, soon arriving at a weapons store across the street from the grocery store.
The name of the weapon shop is Blade, written in a strange script, which Qianlong does not recognize, and the name is also heard.
Tang Zhen remembered that there is a transfer that automatically translates language and text in the application store of the mobile phone, and the price of the download is 10,000 gold coins, it seems that when the funds are abundant, you can download it to try the effect.
Facing the street, the weapon shop was lined with rows of wooden weapon racks, on which were hung swords and weapons, glittering in the sunlight.
On the wooden shelves on the inside are armor and armor, which are of various types, but the disadvantage is that they are basically not aesthetically pleasing.
In the innermost part of the weapons shop, Tang Zhen also saw a few firecrackers hanging on the wall, as well as daggers and a flintlock musket placed on the counter.
I tried these weapons, the edge is sharp, the weight is moderate, and the quality is very good.
Qianlong saw that Tang Zhen looked at it carefully, and then said: "These are ordinary weapons, but the price is not low, and ordinary wanderers can't afford them at all. ”
Tang Zhen heard the meaning of the words, and couldn't help but ask, "These weapons are very good, aren't they?" Well, according to your opinion, there are even better weapons than these. ”
"Of course there is, but it's just out of reach of ordinary wanderers like us."
Qianlong talked eloquently and continued: "That kind of weapon is called a magic soldier, which is divided into nine stars, and the materials used in forging are rare and precious, so it has a strange ability, which is called an attribute by the craftsman. While the price of such weapons is high, it is also a symbol of status and strength. ”
While the two were talking, they had already entered the weapon shop.
As far as the eye can see, in the backyard of the weapons shop, several blacksmiths are wielding hammers, sweating like rain by the fire, beating the red iron bars on the anvils into the shape of swords.
There are more than a dozen people as assistants next to him, and they are busy working together.
There are weapons in the store, too, but they are a little more sophisticated than the outside.
Tang Zhen took out a slender war knife and looked at it, only to see that the blade of this knife was about ninety centimeters long, the handle and scabbard were very exquisitely made, and the mirror light of the polished blade was recognizable. It is also very smooth when wielded in the hand, and the edge of the blade that emits cold light is very sharp.
Tang Zhen liked this knife very much, so he asked the guy what the price was, and the other party replied that it cost two hundred and eighty white brain beads.
Hearing this price, Tang Zhen couldn't help but be secretly speechless.
Brain beads are very important to oneself, but it is even more important to have a good weapon to defend oneself, but relatively speaking, the value of brain beads is higher. Therefore, Tang Zhen could only sigh and put it back.
Looking back at Qianlong, this guy was fiddling with a short bow, and he looked a little in love.
I don't know what material is used for the bow of this short bow, it has a purple-red color, but the surface is densely covered with green lines like meridians. The bowstring is black in color and appears to be extremely flexible, but it does not cut the hand.
Qianlong tried to pull, but it was a little difficult, and it looked like the weight was not small.
Tang Zhen smiled when he saw this, it turned out that this was what Qianlong was fancy!
There happens to be a set of bows and arrows in his storage space, and the quality is not said to be stronger than what he fiddles with, but at least it doesn't cost brains. Looking at the appearance of this short bow, you can know that it is worth a lot of money, and it must be that Qianlong has just been addicted to it.
When I turn around, I will give the set of bows and arrows directly to Qianlong, and wait until the next time I go back, I will buy a few more sets for myself, and I don't know when I will use them.
Thinking of this, Tang Zhen immediately pulled the reluctant Qianlong back, and told him that he would give him a set of bows and arrows that were not much worse than this when he turned around.
Qianlong's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he was also skeptical, but he still followed him out of the weapon shop.
When passing by the roadside stall in the market, Tang Zhen spent some brains and bought all the jewelry pieces he had previously fancied, and then put them into the storage space unconsciously.
After returning to the inn, Tang Zhen first told Qianlong about the Murong sisters, and then told him that he wanted to build a city!
Qianlong was stunned by Tang Zhen's thoughts, in his heart, it was difficult to become a resident of the building city, let alone build a building city, didn't Tang Zhen wake up?
"You...... Are you sure...... It's true...... Want to build a building? ”
Qianlong asked with a stammer, his eyes fixed on Tang Zhen.
"Of course I'm serious, and I'm not going to give up halfway, man, would you be interested in accomplishing this feat with me?"
Qianlong's expression was a little annoyed, and he supported his head with his hands, and said in a slightly mocking tone: "I guess you must be crazy, but why do I have the urge to try it in my heart?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, do you want to do it?"
"Grass, the failure of the establishment of the building city, it's just a big deal, Lao Tzu did it!"
"Don't be barren and say discouraged words, to tell you the truth, the uncle wants to build the world's largest building city, and then kill all those foreign buildings!"
Qianlong rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Kill those buildings established by foreign races, hehe...... You haven't seen the horrors of those alien warriors, and now I'm sure you're crazy......"
Although he felt that Tang Zhen was playing with fire, now that he had joined Tang Zhen's building construction plan, Qianlong had also become serious.
The two began to discuss how to obtain the cornerstone, where to build the building, how to obtain the materials needed to build the building, and how to resist the monster attack after it was built.
Don't do it, I don't know, Tang Zhen realized that if he wants to build a city, he still has a lot of things to prepare, and he is still blank in many aspects, it seems that his original idea is a little simple.
But fortunately, now that they have a preliminary plan, the two only need to follow the negotiated plan.
It is not a trivial matter to establish a building city, so it is necessary to do a good job of confidentiality at the beginning, otherwise it will be a trouble if it is remembered by the bad guys. In this way, the town is not very safe, and the two and the Murong sisters must find a new place to live as soon as possible.
However, there are also advantages to living in a small town, where it is easy to trade, can defend against monsters, and can get more news. In addition, it is close to the building city, and from time to time there will be caravans and bazaars to trade.
Tang Zhen even tried to find an opportunity to enter the building to investigate.
Although the factory where the Murong sisters live now can also accommodate them, Tang Zhen was afraid that this ghost place would be discovered by monsters, so he took the two sisters to eat it together!
After asking Qianlong if there was an ideal place to build a castle, Qianlong remembered that there was a place where the location was hidden and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the location was not too far from here.
It was once a camp of wanderers, numbering in the hundreds, but anyone who knew about it would deliberately avoid it.
Later, I heard that this hapless raider was wiped out by a powerful monster passing by, and that the valley has been empty ever since.
Qianlong also discovered the location of the camp by chance, and later went there once after the raiding group was killed, trying to search for some useful supplies, but unfortunately it had already been looted by the wanderers who came first.
Now that he has a suitable place, Tang Zhen will naturally find an opportunity to check it out on the spot.
When the previous task was to bring back the Murong sisters, so as not to change later, the two immediately set off, leaving the wanderer town and heading straight for the abandoned factory.
Shortly after leaving the town, the two of them passed through a dry vine forest when a chirping of birds was heard. Tang Zhen looked up, and it turned out to be a bird similar to a turtle dove, which looked quite fat.
Looking at the birds full of trees, Tang Zhen turned around and asked casually: "You said that you used to be hungry all the time, don't you usually hunt these birds to eat?" ”
Qianlong shook his head and said, "What do you use to fight, bow and arrow?" I don't. ”
"Then you won't make one yourself!"
Tang Zhen asked rhetorically.
Qianlong shook his head and said, "The kind of bow and arrow you made yourself can't kill at all, the range is too close, and the power is too small. ”
Tang Zhen nodded when he heard this, he seemed to have read the introduction, a real bow, in fact, the process is very complicated, but it is not just a bamboo tie rope. Although there are bows and arrows in this world, such as bows and English longbows, there seems to be no wood suitable for bow-making in this world, and most of the plants in the wilderness that I see are wild grasses and strange vines that resemble forests, but I have never seen a single tree.
Walking was boring, so Tang Zhen continued to talk about the topic: "If you don't have a bow and arrow, then you won't use traps and slingshots?" ”
"The harvest of the traps comes and goes, and these birds are all sperm, and many times they are not fooled at all. And you said slingshot, what is a slingshot? Qianlong asked suspiciously.
"Is a slingshot a type of bow too?"
Tang Zhen was stunned: "A slingshot is a slingshot, don't you know?" ”
Qianlong shook his head in confusion, showing that he really didn't know!
Tang Zhen shook his head when he heard this, and told himself in his heart that this was a different world, and he couldn't think about things according to the ideas of this world.
After thinking of this, Tang Zhen just said that he would go back and give one to Qianlong, and then he would no longer talk about this topic.
The two of them had just walked not far away in the path covered by wild grass, but Qianlong grabbed Tang Zhen's clothes with a solemn face, and said softly: "Be careful, someone wants to rob the road, ready to do it at any time!" “
Tang Zhen's heart was shocked, and he looked around quietly, but he didn't find anything abnormal. However, Tang Zhen believed very much in Qianlong's beast-like intuition, which was a survival skill that he had cultivated in the process of fighting for his life countless times.
When I opened the map, I saw that there were many people hiding in the grass nearby, and they were in a state of surroundment. Seeing this scene, Tang Zhen was scared out of a cold sweat.
It seems that I am still careless!
At this moment, two cold arrows suddenly shot out of the grass, shooting straight at the vital point of the two.
