At this moment, Lu Yuan and Twilight Star were also in the market.
However, it is not as high-end and high-end as the carnival, it is just a country gathering, where people from several villages gather to exchange goods.
Lu Yuan and Twilight Star, who had been lingering in the room for two days, were finally kicked out by the proprietress who couldn't bear it anymore, but in the name of "inviting them to the market". Looking at the dark circles under the boss's eyes, Lu Yuan smiled smugly, and was twisted fiercely by Twilight Star, who was hiding behind. Because it is a small hotel in the countryside, the sound insulation can be imagined, so they are too disturbing to other people's rest, especially the proprietress has a very poor sleep quality, and they all suffer from an aristocratic disease called "neurasthenia".
They walked around the market, wandering around, there was nothing they needed. Sometimes when he sees something that Twilight Star likes, Lu Yuan wants to buy it. But when he took out the gold coins, most of the stall owners directly stuffed things into him but refused to accept the money, because they couldn't afford to find change.
The two people who don't want to take advantage of it anymore have to just watch it and not buy it, and just have fun shopping.
"Ah Yuan. You see. Twilight tugged at him, drawing his attention to the dark, messy mass under the eaves.
"That's ...... Ears of wheat after hulling? Three ears of wheat churned together? What do you mean? Lu Yuan looked at it for a long time before he could tell that the mass hanging on the eaves of the house was actually an inconspicuous mass of wheat stalks.
"Shhh
At this moment, a farmer carrying several new rattan baskets loaded with new wheat and other things came up. He looked to the side of the road as he walked. His eyes lit up when he saw the black straw. Pushed open the door and walked straight in. The door was not closed, and Lu Yuan and Twilight could clearly hear the voices spoken inside.
"Brother, change things."
"Welcome, brother. Let me see what you bring to the table? More than five credits? β
"Definitely not. These are not worth five silver coins. β
"Then look at my things that are also not worth five silver coins."
This was followed by the exchange and dispute of some items. But on the whole, it was very easy-going and smooth, and bartering went smoothly. After a while. The farmer who went in left a new basket and a new wheat, and took a bag of things to pick up on the "pole" (picker, let's call it that). Pick up other things on the other side and continue to walk through the market.
Lu Yuan and Twilight Star, who followed him, saw him constantly changing in and out, and quickly prepared the things he wanted. But he did not leave at this time, and the farmer left his burden at the door of a house marked with straw markings, while he himself carried his burden in the market, and was very eager to help others with ideas, promote exchange, and so on. For a whole hour, I saw him very happy and busy.
Lu Yuan, who had a vague guess, noticed that the farmer also had three wheat stalks tied to his shoulder, and in the same way, everyone who exchanged with him had three wheat stalks as a symbol.
All transactions between the "three straws" were fair and fast, and as long as they were "no more than five silver coins", the transaction was always carried out smoothly without much care. There are even some people who exchange their things for those who need them urgently, and then go to the market with things they don't need much, and continue to exchange the goods they need. When the "three straws" could not reach an agreement with each other, they either gave up or looked for a respected person to arbitrate - everything was moving towards the rudiments of a guild.
"They...... I really didn't expect that. Lu Yuan said excitedly. But how did it develop so fast? Isn't it only a few months? β
"This is the area with the largest time span when the world world was changed, and it has been developing for a year. Their organization's name is Five Silvers, and it's now all over the Baldur's Gate area, and I've come across it a lot when I'm traveling. β
"Hello, welcome here, Lord Morningstar. And this Master Mage, welcome to you as well. β
Just then, an old man who recognized Twilight came over and greeted him, one of the few respected people who were often pulled in to arbitrate. This morning, I could see the old man standing in the center of the market in clean clothes and in good spirits, and he did not do business, just to solve disputes.
"Lord Morningstar, how do you feel?" The old man said proudly.
Lu Yuan observed that there was a silver coin logo embroidered on his chest, obviously, this was a sign that the farmer respected very much, representing his status in the "Five Silver Coins" organization. His pride stems from his love for the organization, as if to say, "Look, we farmers have an organization to rely on!" β
"It's stupid!" Although Lu Yuan was optimistic that this organization would evolve into a guild, he still criticized it mercilessly. The old man suddenly turned red, and his red face and red eyes tried to scold him angrily, but he was persuaded by Twilight. The old gentleman didn't know how to do it, but Twilight Star knew who created the "Five Silver Coins", and she hoped that Lu Yuan would be able to make more wise suggestions to help the farmers live a better life, after all, from the past, the birth of the "Five Silver Coins" did effectively improve the lives of the farmers.
"Do you think it's convenient to have a market? Very effective? I'm telling you, stupid! Since the peasants have no power and status, they should live secretly like rats, living in places where the nobility can't see! Think about your purpose! Items below five silver coins are indeed unsightly for the nobles. But if countless five-silver coins are gathered together, are all the nobles blind?! If you look at the market now, is there a hundred five silver coins or a thousand? Aren't you scared at all?! β
"But, but." The old man's face turned pale with fear, and he put his hands on his chest and argued weakly, "But how could a nobleman be interested in coming here?" Having said that, his face had already told the two of them that he understood, and therefore he was afraid.
"Didn't you? Look at ......" Lu Yuan pointed to a group of people in the distance.
It was a crowd of men dressed in servants' garments, coarse but new, and the satin lining could be seen from time to time, and it seemed that the other party was mostly for fun. Instead of concealing identity.
Men and women gathered in two piles. The women get together to hang out. From time to time, they screamed and screamed exaggeratedly when they saw something, and then laughed as if no one was around each other, which was completely different from those servant women who went out to shop. What's more, there are also those who hold expensive feather fans - at this time, wearing a servant's clothes, they also take a feather fan. It's either pretentious or sick.
The men stood on the edge of the market somewhat indifferently. Get together and discuss things. When you don't pay attention, you don't think it's anything. A closer look reveals that one of the men is protected in the center by layers, flanked by a man who looks like a mage and a butler. The people around make up a wall of the human body. Secure the three people who are talking about things in the center. There is an eighty or ninety percent chance that it is an aristocracy!
"I just want to have a pastime, I didn't expect these untouchables to be so rich! We're going to have to find a way to collect taxes! Twilight suddenly said in an undulating voice, and Lu Yuan and the old man turned around in surprise to see Twilight staring over there, repeating word by word.
"Lip reading", Lu Yuan explained to the old man.
"Most of these people are the lords of Baron Veil, and we can't collect taxes." "Leave that guy alone, it's ours, Will will shut up! Don't let the untouchables notice, I'm watching here, go and get the roads to the south and east to be blocked, and keep the ladies safe. Twilight finished retelling the story as she stopped reading her lips as she saw the butler-like man running away.
"What, what to do? Lord Morningstar, save us! The old man anxiously tugged at Twilight's arm and whispered a plea with tears in his eyes, and several villagers who noticed the old man's abnormality also moved closer to him.
"Ah Yuan......" Twilight looked at Lu Yuan, his eyes were not requirements, but hope. She had always thought that Lu Yuan was the only good person among the evil mages who was not evil enough, and she liked to do any good deed. So, she felt that it was time for Ah Yuan to show his skills again.
"Alas," Lu Yuan scratched his head, we still want to be evil, I am under a lot of pressure if you are like this. "There's no particularly good way, I'll create chaos, you notify me and let everyone take advantage of the chaos to disperse and hide! That nobleman is also a whim, and he will not delve into it. β
The old man is also a decisive person. He looked at Twilight, and saw that the ranger had no better advice, so he immediately turned his head and grabbed the few people who came over, and quickly explained. Then more people spread from one person to another, and most of the people in the market began to pack their things. At this time, the nobleman also clearly noticed that something was wrong, and gave a few orders in a low voice, and the surrounding guards drew their weapons, and they had to stop the farmers in the market first, waiting for reinforcements.
Lu Yuan's staff fell to the ground, his eyes were firmly fixed on the women who had gathered together and came with the nobles, and he was singing dragon grammar in a low voice. Twilight Star was standing beside him, feeling that the power of the arcane was like a tide being commanded by Lu Yuan to rush and flow, he was very surprised, Ah Yuan's strength was beyond imagination! As he threw down an inexplicable piece of seafood wrist and foot, which burrowed into the dirt on its own, Lu Yuan finally completed the spell cast, and leaned on Twilight Star very weakly.
"What kind of spell?" Twilight pressed her hand to the hilt of her sword and asked suspiciously, expecting to assist Lu Yuan in her attack when the spell exploded.
"Don't move, look at it, it's a new spell I figured out, the secondary Evac Black Tentacle!" Lu Yuanmian said without changing his color. In fact, it's all bragging. Due to the increase in spiritual power brought about by the Grandmaster realm, he can try to cast more advanced spells beyond the level - of course, don't count on the power - including the extremely evil spell of the four rings, "Evak Black Tentacle"!
This spell creates a patch of strong black tentacles, each 10 feet long, in an area. These surging tentacles appear to emerge from the surface of any foot, from the dirt, from the floor, and from the water. They cling to and wrap around the creatures in and out of the area with their slimy, cold wrists and feet, trapping them with great force and crushing them. The weakened version of the "Ivak Black Tentacles" cast by Lu Yuan is extremely powerful. Not to mention "crush them", even "trap them" can't be done.
But if the target is a group of aristocratic women with bare butts and skirts...... Think of being sticky, cold tentacles sticking under her skirt and wrapping and sucking up your bare thighs...... Reach into ...... Ahem. Therefore, the "Black Tentacles of Evac" is an extremely evil spell!
Even if he thought about it, Lu Yuan felt excited! The tentacle monster is the highest!
Sure enough, in the next second, there was a high-pitched scream in unison, and one after another. The women were screaming and slapping their skirts, or pulling at something desperately, and their faces were flushed and panting...... Ahem, we don't pay attention to this. Maybe she's usually a lot of talking.
"Help! Help! Leave the untouchables alone! Save Madame and Mademoiselle first! "I saw a large area of black tentacles killing my wife, daughter and lover. Even the nobles couldn't care about the mud legs, so they immediately shifted the target and commanded the guards to go up to save people! The mage advisor next to him apparently recognized what kind of spell this was, and cast magic in horror to try to remove the spell effect. But he knew it clearly. "Evac Black Tentacles" he can't crack. In the next second, all the women will be torn to pieces by the black tentacles! The damage of this force field tentacle cannot be resolved at all!
He quietly stepped back, ready to find an opportune moment to escapeβeven if the mage on the other side let him go, the nobles who had killed all the women would not let him go.
But it's different from what I imagined. Those guards actually rescued the women from the black tentacles! Someone came up with a way, they directly tore off the woman's clothes, and then poured oil on the position held tightly by the black tentacles, and actually pulled the person out like that! And after saving two important people, amid the women's cries and cries for help, the black tentacles slowly shrank into the ground, leaving a large group of half-naked and crying women.
"Hell! Dress my wife! The nobleman cursed, angrily noticing the guards' gaze as they swirled around the slick bodies of his wife and daughterβwho had let them two be the first to be rescued! And his damn wife, her hand doesn't block the top or the bottom, but she just blocks the damn birthmark! Because it affects the perception ......
This is impossible, the mage advisor rubbed his eyes desperately, and the four-ring spell "Evak Black Tentacles" actually didn't have any lethality?! Just getting the women wet and teasing them and disappearing? This, this is that there are two possibilities - the first, this is not the "Black Tentacle of Evak", it is illusion. But he was sure and sure that he was absolutely not affected by the illusion; Then it's the second type, the other party's subordinates are merciful. Thus unleashed a altered, weakened "Black Tentacle of Evak", a man who modifies spells at will...... You can't afford to mess with it, right?
"I ...... What's wrong with me?! No! Eric will die of grief! How do I explain it to him!? Then the nobleman's daughter, who was only fourteen years old, was in trouble again, she was cloaked, and her hands and thighs were covered in blood, and she cried out in terror, and the meaning of her words hinted at the fact that she had been broken by a spell......
By the way, Eric is her fiancΓ©.
If it weren't for the fact that her valet was now pale, hiding behind the crowd, sobbing and bandaging her arm that had just been cut with a large gap, everyone might have believed it. Of course, the odds are slim, since half of the men present have "played" with this young lady. Anyway, whether you believe it or not, I believe it.
"Gotta find that damn mage! Hang him! The nobleman roared in frustration, and the mage advisor could only smile bitterly and agree first. He hoped that the "master" would leave on his own, but unfortunately, as the crowd dispersed rapidly, he looked bitterly at a young man in a magic robe and a magic wand, standing there alone, looking at this side with a smile.
"That's him! Damn it! Get him! The nobleman commanded the guards to surround him, but as the nobleman's mage advisor came and tugged at his shirt hard, with the force that could tear his shirt, the nobleman was not stupid, he immediately realized what the problem was, and slowed down behind the guards.
The guards were not stupid, they were just surrounded from a distance, and they did not dare to get too close.
"Honorable Mage," the Mage Advisor stepped forward with a wry smile and gave a mage salute. Although Lu Yuan looked young, his teacher, who could modify the spells of the Four Rings at will, might be staring somewhere now! "It was your teacher just now...... No, you're kidding us, aren't you? He noticed that the young man's teacher seemed to be deliberately evasive, and of course he pretended not to know what to do.
The aristocrat stood behind with a gloomy face, letting the mage advisor negotiate, knowing in his heart that since the other party was strong, this dumb man would lose eighty percent of his own money.
"Mage?" Lu Yuan raised his head in surprise, "Just because of this?" He tugged at the mage's robes. Or is it because of this? He shook the mage's staff.
"I'll tell you the truth!"
Lu Yuan saw that the villagers had gone, so he announced it very solemnly and seriously.
"Hah! Ha! Ha! Ha! After a continuous exhalation, he danced the magic wand into a stick flower, crackling and beating, and then violently shook the magic robe - the so-called jumping out of the circle and finishing the work, "To tell you the truth, we are a warrior monk!" β
After saying that, he jumped on the roof of the side and jumped along the house.
All that was left was the moaning guards, the stunned nobles, and the mage advisors.
*********
The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and the two people repeat the journey of the past on the road that the two people have walked in the past.
"Shhhh We met a lone goblin! We just need to sneak close to it, hey! We caught him, it has four times the protein of the burger, just remove the other parts of the head and eat it, the chicken tastes crunchy!! β
"Hahaha", Twilight laughed dryly, then said, "I've heard this joke told by Annie, and I still feel sick to this day, please stop talking about it......"
"I noticed that I have similar hobbies to Anne, huh? Could it be that she is also a follower of Bei Ye? β
"No, she just likes to join in the fun, she doesn't even dare to eat snake meat."
"Down with the pseudo-believers, Bei Ye's career is not big, they are all to blame."
β¦β¦
The two men continue their journey, leaving the previous "little things" behind. (To be continued......)
