Chapter 169: The Three Great Forces
A team of people and horses walked on a long and narrow official road, these official roads are paved with gravel, so it is not very comfortable to walk, fortunately, these mercenaries are used to the road here, but the mercenaries who were pierced by the ground rock insects, the distorted expressions on their faces, it can be imagined that their pain is self-evident.
Ma Ye has also woken up from a coma, and is boasting to the servant who was driving in the carriage how hard and tired he was back then, and he also started as a coachman, and then how he sought wealth and nobility in danger, and went through thousands of difficulties and obstacles to have today's achievements, educating his maid to have dreams, in short, he said a lot of nonsense, foaming at the mouth, and it was strange that the servant actually listened to it with relish. Yue Yi, who was not far away, directly slowed down, too lazy to listen to his chirping.
Seeing Yue Yi's appearance, Yuchan on the side couldn't help but smile: "Yue Gongzi, looking at your appearance, it seems that you are very disdainful of Ma Ye's family history." ”
After a night of chatting, the three of them gradually became familiar with each other, and their speech was no longer as restrained as at the beginning. Especially Pei Yuchan, who was cold-faced and warm-hearted, at first just watched Yue Yi chatting with his brother, when Yue Yi told him about his experience, Pei Yuchan was deeply attracted by the story, and became fascinated when she listened to it, and also fantasized that she could take risks like Yue Yi, and then began to ask questions one sentence at a time, and finally Pei Xiuwen was watching Yue Yi chatting with his sister.
"Heh, if you saw Ma Ye rolling his eyes and fainting after hearing the legend of the missing person turned into a stone tree, I guess you would be so disdainful, who knows if it was true or false, and now it is used to brag, and it will deceive your own subordinates. Yue Yi spread his hands and said unceremoniously.
"Well, what you said is very reasonable, but my grandfather and father's experience is similar to that of Ma Ye, they are all people who have suffered, but when it comes to my brother and I's generation, I was born without worrying about food and clothing, but that kind of day is really boring, I just want to come out and see the outside world, last night that feeling was very exciting, I think life should have this kind of ups and downs, so as not to be in vain, so I especially envy you, so young to experience things that I may not be able to experience in this life. Pei Yuchan looked at Yue Yi enviously.
"If you could, I hope you would be able to maintain this kind of worry-free life. For Pei Yuchan's gaze, Yue Yi didn't seem to see it, looked up at the blue sky and said.
"Why?" the two siblings asked in unison.
"If life is always full of light, don't try to mix it with darkness, because there's a side you don't want to see where you want to see. Yue Yi said with some meaning, this is his perception these days.
Looking at the two brothers and sisters who seemed to understand whether they understood or not, Yue Yi continued: "On the way here, I stumbled upon four headless corpses, and the four mercenaries you hired had already encountered an accident. The strength of one of your one-heavy bronze mirrors, the strength of one of the three-fold bronze mirrors, was scurrying around in the stone forest last night, and it is already a miracle that you were able to survive, if you didn't meet us, I'm afraid you would also be that fate. ”
Hearing Yue Yi's words, the two siblings suddenly felt a little numb in their scalps, it turned out that they were so close to death, and they still ignorantly thought that last night was just a kind of stimulation that should be in the expedition, imagining the four headless corpses, they retched for a while, and they could see that their hearts were not as strong as they appeared.
"It's okay...... I'm glad I met you. Xia Yuchan said with palpitations, and even her voice trembled a little.
"So when you are in the light, don't try to stare into the abyss, if you look at it for a long time, you will lose the light, cherish your current life. In fact, to be honest, I envy your life even more. Yue Yi suddenly laughed.
Pei Yuchan lost her previous coldness, remembering the frightening night last night, coupled with the danger that Yue Yi said, there was a little softness on her delicate cheeks, and she raised her eyes to look at Yue Yi, just after Yue Yi finished saying that, she also looked over, the two glanced at each other, Yue Yi didn't react, but she quickly looked away, and there was a faint crimson on her pretty face. She realized that for the first time, apart from her brother, she wanted to talk to a person of the opposite sex so much.
"Brother Yue, what are your plans after you arrive in Wasteland City? If you have nothing to do, you can come to my Pei's house as a guest to repay the grace of saving your life. Pei Xiuwen is worthy of being a scholar, he speaks very gently, and the reason is just right, he is not invited for the sake of a simple invitation, it can be seen that Pei Xiuwen is very smart, and Pei Yuchan on the side also looked over, with expectation in his eyes.
"Hehe, thank you Brother Pei for the invitation, I can't hide it, I'm going for the Order of the Earth, if I get the medal, time permits, I will definitely come to visit, if the time is not enough, I can only get it here. Yue Yi said with a smile.
He replied just right, did not refuse, did not agree, but preconceived, affirming that he was going to do the right thing, this reason is also impeccable, I think the other party must be able to understand.
"I'm ashamed, it's so that Brother Yue is going to participate in the Five Elements Alliance, you must have obtained the Wood Medal, the Wood Medal used to be very easy to get, but now it is the most difficult, since Brother Yue has obtained this medal, then the rest of the medals are fine. Pei Xiuwen hugged his fists and said, with admiration in his words.
"Why is it suddenly so difficult to obtain this Order of Wood?"
Yue Yi was a little puzzled, he didn't know what task Ye Xun had issued, because his medal was directly given by that Master Fan, if Pei Xiuwen knew how he obtained it, he didn't know what kind of wonderful expression he would have.
"In the past, all you had to do was go to Araki City and kill fifty Blood Van Sha Mang and fifty eight-eyed night spiders, and there was no limit to the class. Now there is another one, kill ten bronze mirror snake people, this snake man is half human and half snake appearance, it is said to be very disgusting, Brother Yue must know, now anyone who goes there has to kill ten snake people of the same level who are similar to themselves, do you say this is difficult?" Pei Xiuwen said.
When Yue Yi heard this, he sneered, it seems that this Ye Xun will not have such a good time in the next few days. Those snake people who fled would definitely continue to make waves, so Ye Xun had to take such measures. With the strong body of the snake man, it is impossible to fight quickly, only to fight for a long time, no wonder it has become the most difficult medal to obtain.
"By the way, are there any forces in the Barren Stone City that need to be paid attention to?" Yue Yi asked the point, it is better to be cautious when going out alone, he is weak, and if he can, he will try not to provoke.
"Barren Stone City is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are many large and small sect forces, countless of them, but Brother Yue should pay attention to a total of three major forces, namely the Stone Chamber of Commerce, the Stone Lord's Mansion and the Stone Wolf Mercenary Group. ”
"Stone Chamber of Commerce, Stone Lord's Mansion, Stone Wolf Mercenary Group. Yue Yi silently recited it in his heart a few times, and always felt that the last name had been heard there, but he couldn't remember it.
"The Stone Chamber of Commerce is the richest, they have opened a largest auction in Wastestone City, and there are many rich families in it, even our Pei family is also one of them. As long as you wave your arms, many strong people will flock to it, and in this world, money can solve it, and that's not a problem, so it's best not to mess with this force. ”
Hearing that there was an auction, Yue Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, this was to join in the excitement and buy some things he lacked in an instant.
"The Stone Lord's Mansion is directly formed by the army controlled by the city lord, and it has nothing to do with itself on weekdays, and it is dedicated to defending the peace of the Desert Stone City, and its existence has deterred many unscrupulous people, and also restrained the strength of the other two parties. ”
Yue Yi nodded, it was best not to touch the forces related to the city lord, after all, it was related to the Order of the Earth, and his luck in Araki City had run out, he didn't believe that he could still obtain the Order of the Earth in the same way.
"As for the Stone Wolf Mercenary Group, there is nothing to say, they are all a group of outlaws, a huge team formed by mercenaries, there is only one mercenary group in the entire Wastestone City, and the rest are either exterminated or have been incorporated into it, they are extremely domineering in doing things, even if a dog from their Wasteland City dies next to you, whether you get it or not, it will make you pay for your life, there is no humanity at all, and the wolf has the ambition to swallow the Stone Chamber of Commerce and want to become the only largest force in Wasteland City, so the recent friction has become bigger and bigger. Pei Xiuwen said indignantly, he said it with some personal emotions, but it was also true.
"Stone Wolf Mercenary Group?" Yue Yi said in a low voice, and then he thought of something. When they were chased and killed by Ye Xun's army before, a man who claimed to be the largest stone wolf mercenary group from Wasteland City, named Shi One-armed, was killed by himself, and before he died, he shouted out and said that the stone wolf mercenary group would definitely avenge him, hearing Pei Xiuwen say this just now, Yue Yi was sure that he had already taken matters into account.
However, he didn't regret what he had done, if it weren't for Shi Duyi's last delay in their time, it is estimated that he would not have been caught up, then Green Core would not have died tragically at the hands of Tianxing Pavilion, all of this was caused by Shi Duyi, and it also directly made Yue Yi indirectly angry at this stone wolf mercenary group. If this mercenary group doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, it's fine, if it provokes him, then it happens to be a new account and an old account together.
"Hey, look, the few people in gray clothes in front are the people of the Stone Wolf Mercenary Regiment. Pei Xiuwen pointed to the ten people who were coming in front of him, and said to Yue Yi.
Yue Yi saw the ten people swaggering over, led by a strong man with a nine-fold bronze body mirror, who blocked their way at once, and still held a portrait in his hand. Yue Yi took a closer look, his eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc.
