Chapter 60: Identity
The reason why I had this idea was because when I got here, I realized that I really didn't know much about this dungeon.
And what Emperor Tong told me before may only be a scale and half a claw. However, according to the previous agreement, he did not lie to me. So, it's hard for me to vent any resentment against him now.
Emperor Tong casually threw the money bag in his hand with one hand, and walked with me into the dense shantytown through the passage.
I found that slaves were not qualified to go through this passage, and that they would go from another passage to the crowded place where I had watched from the top of the hill before.
Of course, there is the last passage, where the slave and the cloak demon can walk together, and the Tong Emperor told me that is the passage where they can leave directly.
I walked side by side with Emperor Tong in the crowded shantytown, which seemed to be a trading market, and when I learned that it was a passage that could be left directly, I whispered to Emperor Tong: "Leave?" Where to go? ”
Emperor Tong looked around and said to me, "Where else can I go?" Naturally, I went to the dungeon. ”
I couldn't help but get angry: "Then what are you talking about?" Why do you want to get around here? ”
"Did you think it was so easy to get into the dungeon? If you don't prepare for everything, you don't know how you're going to die when you go in. Emperor Tong gave me an understatement.
I couldn't help but sneer: "How did you die?" Even if I kill it now, I won't necessarily be able to escape. ”
"Huh." Emperor Tong sneered, stretched out a finger and shook it in front of me, and said, "I thought you would change the arrogance of your previous life, it seems that you are also a brainless muscle bump. You know that the dungeon has a long history, but do you know how long it has been inherited? It's a history that no one can tell, only a legend that says that the real inheritance of the dungeon is since the First World War of Yan and Huang, and it is a lost history, so there is no evidence to investigate. If so, do you think the dungeon is not deep enough? It's up to you to kill it?! Even if you have now recovered the peak strength of the Nie Yan period, it is impossible to kill it, and you can still retreat with your whole body. ”
I had a feeling that my breath was in my throat, I was originally angry with Emperor Tong, but I didn't expect him to catch this point and mock me a few words, but I still couldn't make a sound, shocked by the long history of the dungeon.
In fact, this is not completely unfounded, in this world, there is no absolute boundary between humans and demons, at least thousands of years ago, therefore, the descendants of humans and demons are not a strange thing, there were times in ancient times This kind of thing happened from time to time, and it became a legend in various places.
It was only after the Ming Dynasty that this kind of legend gradually became extinct, just like the legend of the monster.
But,The strange thing is that monsters may be in some eras,People and the descendants of demons are often seen but very rare,I used to think that in addition to the kind of characteristics that are not obvious, they can grow up,And generally the demons with obvious birth characteristics may be secretly executed when they are babies,This result will be caused。
However, it also makes no sense, descendants like demons with inconspicuous characteristics are also very rare, as Nie Yan, I have been dealing with monsters all my life, and only later did I meet a Liu Hesheng with a thin bloodline.
But as far as I know, the characteristics are not obvious is the existence of the majority of the descendants of the shemales, because those who can combine with humans are generally demons in shape, and the offspring born of this kind will not have too obvious characteristics at all, or even completely like people, just close to demons in appearance, but that is not strange, human skin is already thousands, like a cow, like a pig, it will not be regarded as too strange by ordinary people.
Now, when Emperor Tong said this dungeon, I had some associations in my heart.
I didn't have much interest in the things sold in this shantytown, but if I had to describe it, it was just an ordinary grocery store in the world, and the things sold were similar, so I was not interested, so I naturally fell into my own contemplation.
It wasn't until the Tong Emperor dragged me into a nondescript shanty that I came to my senses.
Compared with other grocery stores, there are too few goods here, a little scribbled oil, salt, sauce and vinegar of the world, plus a few ordinary clothes that are a little dirty, and there is nothing else.
I don't understand why Emperor Tong dragged me into such a shop, but after entering, I sensitively noticed that there are many people in and out of cloaks here, each of whom is tightly pulling the cloak to cover their faces, and they come and go in a hurry.
They are not in the unexpected cargo, but they all come out of the room.
Naturally, Emperor Tong also took me into the inner room, where there was only one counter, and a few cloaked people were silently queuing, and I was surprised to find that there were human beings sitting behind this counter, indicating that the people who did this business were also human beings.
I waited with Emperor Tong, and I whispered to Emperor Tong in a low voice under boredom: "This should be a market, what is it selling?" ”
"Of course, this is a market, and every caravan that goes out will bring some private goods for itself, which is not allowed on the surface, but in fact it is an unspoken rule. Otherwise, the caravan's profit is too low, mainly to provide supplies to the dungeon, and to collect some money symbolically, who wants to take the risk? There are various risks associated with going out of the caravan, so it is not necessarily necessary to carry private goods every time they are useful, and over time a trading market has been formed at the entrance here, and now it has gradually changed from private behavior to the intervention of various forces, and because it is not in the dungeon, it is in a gray area, so you can buy many things that cannot be placed on the surface. You know, being able to get fresh private goods is the most profitable. When it comes to the real big market in the dungeon, there is not necessarily such a profit. "Emperor Tong also seemed to be bored, and said to me as soon as he opened his mouth.
Then, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he said to me, "Like now, we're here to buy an identity." ”
I'm a little shocked, identity can also be bought? Emperor Tong said before I asked: "Naturally, there will be many demons who buy their identity, even if they have their own identity, after having an additional identity, they can do a lot of things." The easiest thing is vendetta this, you don't have to understand too much. And the identity here is the most reputable, and the identity they sold has never had any problems. ”
I said that it is no wonder that Emperor Tong wants to hang out in this market, and the identity is indeed very useful to us.
Even if the boss deliberately looks at a similar demon and makes up for us, this is also full of uncertain factors, and we must have an identity to completely let go of our hands and feet.
Just when Emperor Tong and I were saying these few words, the people in front of me had already finished their work and left in a hurry.
And Emperor Tong and I walked to the front of the counter, and the old man who looked a little cold just said to us: "What kind of identity do you want?" ”
I didn't know how to answer, so I was silent, but Emperor Tong said very easily and familiarly: "Don't be too high. In a little better than the lowest status on it. ”
The old man nodded and said to us, "Pull off your cloaks." ”
As I spoke, the curtain in front of the counter was automatically lowered, I was not new to this, I had seen before, when those cloaked people went in to do business, there was a black curtain hanging down, which should be for secrecy.
Emperor Tong pulled down his cloak without resisting, and I followed Emperor Tong's movements.
The old man looked at us, took out a laptop in my incredulous gaze, and began to look up something familiarly.
After about three minutes, he looked up at me and said, "Lucky guy, you can get a cheap nameplate with no risk at all." As he spoke, he rummaged through the counter, took out a bronze sheet, and whispered to the guy lying behind the counter, who nodded.
"Wait a minute, I'll take care of your identity tag. Courtesy of patronage, three hardwood coins. ”
I let out an 'oh' and looked at Emperor Tong, but Emperor Tong pouted and said, "It's so expensive." But he took out the bag he had taken out and took out three wooden coins carved from the bag, like the claws of an animal.
It's a new coin, and I'm interesting to watch, but totally understandable.
In ancient times, coins themselves were rare and valuable, such as gold, silver and copper, unlike modern banknotes, which were more of a transaction voucher and had greater anti-counterfeiting.
And the dungeon naturally can't make paper money, and for them, the most cherished wood is suitable for making coins.
I watched Emperor Tong take out the wooden coin, and instantly had the feeling that I was a multimillionaire, as long as I went outside to cut down two trees. But when I felt it carefully, I found that these wooden coins all had exquisite formations of the system, and I immediately gave up this idea.
This kind of standard thing is the most difficult to imitate, even the formation master can't make every line exactly the same, unless you get the array disk that can engrave the standard formation.
Presumably, this kind of thing should be a secret among secrets, and it seems that these rulers of the dungeon still have some means.
When I was thinking nonsense, the shopkeeper looked at Emperor Tong and said, "Three hardwood coins are too expensive?" Then you don't have to think about your identity nameplate. ”
"Just tell me the price?" Emperor Tong didn't look surprised, but had already expected it, and asked very calmly.
"Your identity plate, a mahogany coin, must not be missing. Because you can only have the identity of the fox clan, and those who are as handsome as you in the fox clan are generally nobles. Aristocrats are very eye-catching existences, and there is no one similar to you, let alone that similar person has to disappear mysteriously. You don't have the luck of the stupid wolf next to you, you have a similar person, and that person disappears again. His identity nameplate is naturally only worth three hardwood coins, and yours wants to make a new identity nameplate, and there is no problem with the origin of the birth, and I feel that I have lost a mahogany coin. The shopkeeper talked endlessly.
And I was dumbfounded, I didn't expect that there was so much attention to buying an identity.
So, thanks to the boss for putting on this makeup for me.
