118 Offerings (B)
Frances's face turned pale.
Chen Xiansong, who is usually very sluggish, noticed this, he gently stroked the little guy's head with his hand, and comforted: "Don't worry, big brother, I'm not worried about any curses, and I'm not afraid of any demons." ”
The little guy looked at Lian Xian Song for a while, then nodded and smiled with tears in his eyes. The current atmosphere can be regarded as warm, but the fat man on the side broke this mood, and he continued: "Your Excellency, you are a noble soul contemplator, and you may not take curses, demons and other things to heart, but this is a real fact. Originally, this child's family was also a relatively prestigious aristocratic family in Qingxi City, but since she was born...... Now the Lensi family is about to be removed from the nobility. ”
The people around him began to talk about it, and it seemed that many people knew about the Lency family. Many people look at the little guy with disgust, schadenfreude, and "... If there is no sexual desire.
The little guy was finally comforted by Chen Xiansong, and his emotions became low again, maybe he remembered his seriously ill mother, or maybe she felt that it was really her own reason that caused the suffering of her family, the little guy hid behind Chen Xiansong and quietly wiped his tears. Now, Chen Xiansong finally knew that the little guy had to go to a place where there was no one just now, so he was willing to tell him the reason why he wanted to find the Sun God Servant. It is rumored that the Sun Servant is good at the light element and has great experience in healing, and the little guy probably wants to ask the Sun Servant to treat his mother, but perhaps because of her own shame, she doesn't want to talk about family affairs in public.
It's just that now this fat man ruthlessly puts the little guy in public sight and tears open the wounds in her heart one by one. Words such as demons, curses, and calamities swirled around in her consciousness, and if she hadn't felt a large warm hand still on her head, she would have burst into tears.
"I've made it clear what you're saying, is there anything else?" Chen Xiansong was originally a little curious about the fat man, but now he suddenly felt that this bastard was very annoying.
Looking at the rather obvious indifference and expression on Chen Xiansong's face, the fat man hesitated for a while, but finally said stubbornly: "Your Excellency, there is another very important matter that needs to be explained to you...... It's still about Frances behind you! ”
"Say it." Chen Xiansong nodded.
"Because of the evil magic circle behind Frances, and the bad luck that she brought from birth to the present, many of us agree that she should be sacrificed to God to wash away her sins." The fat man glanced at Bai Min, then moved his gaze to Chen Xiansong, and said slowly: "This is the joint decision of more than ten nobles. ”
"Sacrifice?" Chen Xiansong had various explanations about the sacrifice of the living in his mind, and his anger gradually accumulated in his body: "As an outsider, I shouldn't talk too much about your traditions or customs...
Hearing this, the fat man's face was a little happy, and the little guy's little hand pulling Chen Xiansong's clothes froze. However, Chen Xiansong's words were not finished.
"But I want to ask, do you want to sacrifice Frances alive with her own consent?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, and said with a forced smile: "Your Excellency, she has been cursed by the devil and is the embodiment of disaster. She's a sin herself, I guess, without her consent. ”
The people around him, listening to the fat man's words, some were smiling for some reason, and some were with heavy expressions. Either way, it means that Frances must have been caught up in a conspiracy.
Chen Xiansong looked at the fat man and suddenly laughed: "I suddenly feel that you also have a demon hidden in your body, how about I suggest that you also be sacrificed to the gods?" The fat man's face suddenly became difficult to look at: "Your Excellency...... You love to make jokes. ”
"Then I'll ask you again, since it's a dedication... So which god do you want to sacrifice this little guy to? Chen Xiansong kept looking into the other party's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts: "Sun God, or Moon God?" Although the Sun Servant and the Dragon Clan have always been mortal enemies, I have also studied their teachings a little, and both teach the world to be peaceful and good, and it is impossible for them to accept the living meal of mortals..."Chen Xiansong walked up to the fat man and stared at him deadly: "Can you tell me which god you want to sacrifice to?" Could it be that it is an evil god that has never been heard of? Cold sweat flowed from the fat man's face, he turned his head and glanced at the crowd around him, as if he was looking for someone, and soon he turned around: "Your Excellency, this is a matter among the nobles of Qingxi City...... We respect you very much, and we hope that you will give us some face, and we will thank you afterwards, which is very important to us. ”…,
"But now this little guy is also very important to me." Chen Xiansong said lightly. Frances's eyes lit up behind him, and in addition to gratitude, there were more indescribable and inexplicable emotions in his eyes.
Chen Xiansong didn't pay attention to the fat man anymore, he took two steps back, looked at the nobles around him, and said loudly: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, I believe that in the field, there will be people who will know that the child behind me will get into this matter, who wants to kill her." I also want to know to which god she will be sacrificed to? If anyone can tell me, there will be a hòu report. ”
All the nobles were looking at Chen Xiansong, and many of them had eager expressions on their faces. But after a long time, no one came up, and no one was willing to stand up and speak.
Chen Xiansong thought for a while and continued: "I know the Dao, most of the time in this world, if you want to know some things in the Dao, you must pay a certain price, it seems that the reward I give is uncertain, so some people are hesitating. Then I will elaborate on the remuneration I will pay. ”
"I found that the weapons used by everyone now are iron weapons, and I know that there is a method of making steel weapons, although the production is low, and the fineness cannot reach the best, but this is the limit of the current level of science and technology. In addition, steel, it should be the essence of black iron in your mouth" I can guarantee that steel weapons are sharper and harder than iron weapons. Of course, steel can also be used to make armor, among other things. ”
Wow! As soon as Chen Xiansong's words fell, at least half of the nobles took a step forward, and almost all of them were staring at him with greedy eyes.
"There are too many people, and it's hard for me to choose." Chen Xiansong frowned.
"My uncle is the deputy commander of the Eighth Army in the South"... I hope you can sell face and take a step back. A nobleman shouted from the crowd.
"The deputy commander is a fart, my grandfather is the Duke of Fir Forest in Wangcheng, I hope you don't fight with me."
The tumultuous voices resounded in the feast, and then became noisy, and in front of the huge profits, the nobles tore off their noble faces and began to quarrel rudely with red faces. There are no big nobles in Qingxi City, the nobles invited to the banquet are at most branches of some families, their power is neither high nor low, and they are in an awkward position.
The fat man and several nobles hid in the corner, looking at the chaotic image in front of them, their expressions were quite ugly, and their eyes stayed on Chen Xiansong from time to time, with jealousy and resentment.
Most of the nobles will learn swordsmanship for a period of time for the sake of their apparent stature and dignity. Although their combat effectiveness is far from that of mercenaries, they are much more powerful than ordinary people. Except for the female aristocracy, almost all the male aristocrats participated in the brawl.
This is the place where the banquet is to be held, and the dishes are almost ready. But this time there was a commotion, everything was messed up, plates, vegetable juices were flying everywhere, the female clansmen were screaming and running around, more than twenty originally well-dressed nobles were scuffling on the ground, and from time to time elemental light flashed.
Chen Xiansong is under the protection of Bai Min, and there are guards such as Balf who are still acting as a human wall in front of him, plus he is now the gold master, "Of course, no one will come to trouble him." Therefore, he is safe now, and he has not been affected at all, but he is a little helpless and depressed now.
The difference between iron and steel is only the amount of carbon. In the 22nd century, even a child of about 10 years old understands the basic principles and processes of simple steelmaking, which is not important scientific and technological knowledge for him. He also estimated the importance of steel to the nobles in advance, but considering that the nobles love face" and their complex social network, Chen Xiansong thought that there should not be many people who are willing to betray their allies for steel or oppose another nobleman in public.
As a result, I didn't expect that almost everyone was very interested in steel weapons, and I didn't expect that they would actually fight.
"These guys are nobles?" Balf looked at the big people who were covered in soup and hung with vegetable leaves, and felt that his world had been turned upside down.
Chen Xiansong was also speechless, "... Looking at the messy venue, I think of it because of my own body, I feel a little weak, and the old man Suosi won't blame it, right......
Many guards heard the movement outside, rushed in, and then they were all dumbfounded, as small people, they didn't dare to disturb the big people's Yaxing" A clever guard immediately went to the manor outside the city to inform Sosi.
It didn't take long for Sosi and Udir to arrive, and as soon as they entered the door and saw the situation in the hall, their faces became rather strange, and the nobles were playing happily, "not realizing that the host of the banquet had arrived." It wasn't until Sosi stopped shouting several times in a row, "This group of nobles who fought each other quite happily did not stop.
"What the hell is going on?" Suoxi's face was a little strange, there were only a dozen tables of delicacies, worth only a hundred gold coins, Suoxi didn't pay attention to it, he was a little angry, these guys actually dared to make trouble in the Soul Ponderers Association, but seeing the dirty appearance of these nobles, he felt funny, so for a while, he didn't know what expression to use to face this situation.
A member of the association, who had been staying at the venue, walked beside Sosi and told him what had happened. Then the eyes of the two old men, Suo Xi and Udier, immediately moved to Chen Xiansong...... )
