What does this benefit mean? To put it bluntly, man. ”

Abner himself is a profiteer, so he naturally knows how to ask for information: "We're here to make a fortune, don't try to fool us with any rags." ”

He waved his shiny shield as if ostentatiously, the small shield looked bluffing, and the trimmed pattern was even gilded with a layer of gold.

"Do you know the star sand ore?"

Finding that the other party was a fat sheep, the big man immediately smiled, leaned over mysteriously, and said in a low voice:

"Not only is there this monopolized metal mine in the ruins, but there are even better things than this! Even if you just take out a pocket, you can go back to the original continent to be a little lord! ”

"Is there a star sand mine in here?"

Natsu asked the lich in his mind.

"There's no doubt that this guy is lying, I've been in it for a long time, and there are no ores in the ruins except for monsters and broken walls."

The lich replied in a soul teleportation, "This ruin was completely hand-hewn, and although it has been a long time, it is far from the point where it can generate minerals. ”

"That's right."

Xia dispelled the idea of letting the artifact Lori go in early to grab something.

The formation of ores sometimes requires hundreds of millions of years of accumulation, and the history of the continent is only thousands of years, so how can it be possible to find mineral deposits in artificial buildings.

"No less, our location is fifty meters away from the entrance, and you can enter the ruins in 10 minutes in line......"

The big man over there was still haggling with Abner.

"Get out of the way!"

A few Imperial soldiers with muskets on their backs pushed aside the big man who was foaming at the mouth.

"May I ask if this is Princess Xia's team?"

A soldier asked politely.

This attitude is similar to the rough behavior just now.

"Did Timos ask you to come?"

Natsu walked over and lifted the hat from his head.

"No, Commander Elio ordered us to come."

The soldier replied:

"The tent for you to rest is ready, please come here."

He came up to Natsu and made a gesture of please.

"Phew."

The big man who wanted to sell his position was bored, and walked back to his tent with a calm face. scolded in a low voice:

"It's been a long time, it turns out to be an imperial dog!"

"Click!"

One of the soldiers heard his words and immediately loaded the Warwick rifle in his hand.

"Hey! What do you want to do? ”

The big man's companions had been watching from the side, and when they saw the soldiers raising their guns, they immediately surrounded them fiercely.

"-Bang!"

The soldier ignored them and shot the big man in the leg, leaving him with a bloody hole.

"Keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, it won't be shooting your leg next time. ”

The soldier put down the smoking rifle and said coldly.

"Kill him, kill this imperial dog!"

The big man on the ground had tears of pain flowing down his eyes and shouted at his companions.

"Huh!"

Hearing this, the rest of the soldiers immediately turned their guns on several people.

"Go and call someone; Let's just say that the people of the empire hurt us for no reason, and the alliance will uphold justice for us! ”

Although there was a fierce look on their faces, they still flinched in the face of the guns, and one of them shouted loudly:

"Come on! Imperial soldiers have shot and killed......"

"Are we going to help?"

Abner stepped back, touching his beard and asked. His face was full of melancholy.

"These people seem to be the pioneers of Jophes."

Xia looked at the emblem they were wearing, it was an open eye, with a vertical line drawn in the middle of the pupil, which looked a little scary, which was the national emblem owned by Jophes, who was known as the "Miscellaneous Kingdom".

"Wait."

She had nothing to do with Jophimes, neither enemies nor friends; Of course, if the other party is Sadara's person, it's another matter, even if it's for Polly, you have to beat it up first.

"But he just scolded us!"

The little catwoman pulled out her short knife and stared at it, "He insulted his sister." I'm going to kill him. ”

When it comes to killing people, she is no worse than anyone else in this place.

"Polly. Don't be so angry. ”

Natsu touched her head:

"It's just a curse, it's not good to kill people casually."

The little catwoman's cocked tail fell, and she seemed to be a little incomprehensible to the meaning of this sentence:

- The other party is provoking himself by scolding himself, what's wrong with killing him like this?

"What the hell is Sadara, Polly has been gone for three years and her murderous aura has become so heavy."

Seeing her expression, Xia shook his head secretly in his heart. The impression of this new technology kingdom can't help but be a little worse.

"Beep——!"

Seeing that the number of opponents was increasing, the soldiers decisively blew the police whistle.

Neat footsteps sounded in the nearby barracks, and a heavily armed army quickly drove out from inside, blocking in front of Xia and the others.

"Your Royal Highness, please go to the tent at once. It's a matter between us and the Trailblazers, and you'd better not get involved. ”

The soldier who spoke first had already loaded his weapon, turned back to her with his gun in his hand, and said:

"These bastards have taken you for Harlem and will definitely do it to you in the event of a conflict."

"Alright, let's leave."

Originally, Natsu wanted to stay here for a while, but she noticed that the pioneers also had a lot of muskets in their hands, and some even had something like a shoulder cannon.

She wasn't too scared herself, but if a scuffle did break out, the relatively fragile Al and Edith might be injured as a result.

The talisman magic card given by Luo Ye is for life-saving purposes and should not be wasted on this kind of thing.

When they arrived at a clean tent group, Xia found the great sage in a silver robe waiting for them.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, long time no see."

Duragal still had that cynical face, but when he saw Xia Hou, he was immediately a lot more dignified, and bowed slightly to her:

"I've heard about your coming here. That's a little bit of my heart with Elio. ”

As soon as he said that, the soldiers behind him immediately brought over several large boxes, which were full of ammunition and weapons when opened.

"There is still some equipment in the back, which I personally gave to Her Royal Highness the Princess, as well as your guards."

Duragal is unusually sincere:

"While your swordsmanship and magic are excellent, the New World is a little different from Faense...... It's still important to have a good set of equipment; Make you safer at the same time. It can also increase the efficiency of the battle. ”

"Thank you and Commander Elio for your kindness."

Xia is not a person who does not know what to do, the other party's status is noble, but he has been respectful to himself since the first meeting, although he doesn't understand what the reason is, but it's not good to be too cold.

"Don't worry, you can't fight."

Seeing her look at the noisy crowd from time to time, Duragar said with a smile:

"Every once in a while, there will be a few times at most, and at most one or two unlucky people will fall on the head and bleed in the push, and no one will really do it. Everyone's attention is currently on developing the ruins, and no one will waste energy on such a trivial matter. ”

"But your soldiers all shot just now, is it really okay?" Xia was still a little worried, after all, this matter was also a little related to her.

"Ha, I can see it clearly here, it's just a broken leg, and no one will stand up for them like that little thug."

Duragal said unconcernedly.

"Thank you again for the gift, I need the right gear to strengthen my team."

Xia has a deeper understanding of the domineering behavior of the people of the empire.

After the new Great Sage of the Empire left. She and the others began to inspect the boxes one by one, and found that they were all high-end goods that they had never seen before.

"Small Land Battle Shield...... Comes with a defense level of +1 stat. ”

Natsu picked up a small shield. Looking at its information, he said silently in his heart.

"Heavy polished shield, +1 defense level, and 20% less damage from demonic monsters."

"Rhine broadsword, attack damage increased by 15%, attack speed +4%......"

"Manual revolver...... Old single-shot sniper rifle ......"

Checking the attributes of these weapons one by one, her mood suddenly changed a lot.

Regardless of the quality of the weapon itself. These things are much stronger than the large-scale equipment of the Warwick rifle, which is enough to witness the sincerity of the other party.

"Captain, can these two shields be assigned to me?"

Albert soon fell in love with the two shields, one large and one small, and refused to let go after holding them.

"Absolutely. No one else but you can use them. ”

Xia happily promised that both kinds of shields were heavy, and the heavy polished shield was even more amazingly large, and ordinary people couldn't walk at all with it, and they had to be strictly trained shield warriors to exert their due effect.

In fact, she can also use the shield herself, but because of the secret sword technique, the shield has little meaning to her.

"Partner, when you reach a certain level, I will tell you a secret that can greatly improve your strength."

The voice of the lich sounded in my head.

Xia glanced at Fei Nanxi, who was wearing a black robe, and found that its face hidden in the darkness was facing this side, making a gesture of unknown meaning to herself.

“…… is obviously an undead, but he likes to sell Guanzi. ”

She turned her head helplessly, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.

"Sister, I want this."

Al took off his rifle, hugged the dark old sniper rifle, and walked over to Xia and pleaded:

"I learned sniping skills with Dora, and the bullets of rifles and shotguns are too scattered, which can easily hurt my own people, and the range is close; So I wanted to try it with a different gun. ”

"Bring this with you, too."

Xia also gave her a revolver, and the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and only one weapon was not enough.

"I've seen this stuff before, and it seems to be used like this......"

Al began to work on his newfound pistol.

"Edith, Glori...... Bring a pistol for yourself, too. ”

Natsu gave the few remaining pistols to the French professions in the team, and it wasn't appropriate for delicate girls like Edith and Gloria to wear heavy weapons, but it wasn't a big problem to bring an extra short gun and a few boxes of ammunition.

"I don't need this."

Sadonan, who was holding a revolver, looked unaccustomed.

Unlike the usual revolvers, this old weapon was used with two hands (one hand toggles the roller, so it was a manual revolver), and he had never touched a firearm before.

"Your current mental power is too weak, and although your ability is strong, it can't be maintained for a long time, so it's better to bring one just in case."

Natsu insisted that he hang the pistol on his waist.

It's just that he now has a staff in his hand and a musket hanging from his waist, which is really a bit undecent.

The next morning, a bell rang at the entrance to the ruins.

"What is this doing, aren't you afraid to attract monsters to attack the camp?"

Natsu walked out of the tent in her pajamas and found that many people were rushing to the place where the bell was ringing.

"Princess Xia, please lead your subordinates to follow me to the entrance of the ruins."

A soldier walked over and said with a stern expression:

"This time, we will enter the ruins before the mercenary team, there are many monsters inside, please be prepared."

"Are you finally leaving? Summer, let's go. ”

The werewolf princess had already dressed herself, still dressed in the same slightly cool way as before, and because she refused to put on her armor, Xia Na couldn't help her, so she had to use the white tights from the elven treasury as an insider. I wore it inside.

"Hmph."

Wendy watched the two get tired of being together, and snorted softly beside her.

"Are you all ready? Let's go. ”

The speed of everyone was not slow, and after a few minutes of assembly, Xia walked at the front with a newly acquired great sword on his back, and arrived at the entrance of the ruins with the orderly Imperial army.

"Timos and Bernie aren't there."

Xia swept the location of the officers, and found that they were all supporters of the Elio family, and the people of the Leom City Guard did not even see any of them.

"Is it a complete falling out, that's why Elio has to compromise with the Pioneer Alliance." She vaguely guessed the reason for the situation in front of her.

"Princess Xia, you are the third in line, please understand."

The handsome guy Elio, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in front of everyone, and that appearance immediately caused a commotion, and the girls in the Xia team were not so good, and some of the women in those pioneers had already screamed.

"Again, I would like to thank your country for arranging us outsiders so high."

Natsu exchanged a few words with the other party, and Elio politely said goodbye, walked to the front and motioned for the front team to start heading into the ruins.

"It's our turn."

This time, Xia wore the outfit he wore when he was wandering around the mainland, but he put on an extra layer of armor outside, and he looked majestic with a big sword on his back, which attracted the attention of many men.

"It tastes weird."

After entering the long corridor, Delia pinched her nose and said:

"It doesn't stink, but I always feel a little uncomfortable."

"Be careful!"

Natsu pulled out the short gun at his waist and shot a monster that pounced on the werewolf princess.

"There's no hiding here, where did they come from?"

Albernar also picked up the big shield and knocked a monster away, shouting in disbelief.

"It's likely that they've been teleported by some means, not limited by terrain." Xia dragged the big sword on his back in his hand and warned in a low voice:

"The battle has started since we came in, and everyone has to be in good spirits...... Because what we are about to face is an endless battle! (To be continued......)
