324 Methods

When the hovercraft was crossing the sea, Chen Xiansong saw a lot of sailboats from the car window, large and small. This is the dividing line between Asia and the Americas, and in this era when navigation technology is not developed, even if it is just a few tens of kilometers of sea, there are ships that capsize and sink from time to time.

Chen Xiansong tried to keep Bai Min away from these small boats, so as not to overturn them by the air currents and waves set off by the hovercraft. As long as you cross this sea, you will be in the Americas, where the dragons gather in North America and the Pillars of the Sun in South America. Chen Xiansong originally wanted to go to the gathering place of the dragon clan, but first, the dragon clan was more xenophobic and would not let people of other races enter easily, and secondly, he was more and more worried about Sister Qianxin's safety, so he gave up.

Whether it is North America or South America, there are large plains, not only the terrain on the Asian side is complex and changeable, so the advanced speed of the hovercraft is quite fast, when passing through the periphery of the dragon gathering place, Chen Xiansong saw a huge city composed entirely of black steel, towering at the end of the horizon, even the naked eye can see clearly.

Bai Min observed for a moment and said, "According to preliminary calculations, this city should be pieced together from the wreckage of the Hope. ”

Hope is the new human era, the starship that was built in the universe and was about to be completed, but was destroyed by an alien raid. There is a lot of heat-resistant metal in it, and even if it falls off the outer rail, it will not vaporize due to friction combustion. Dragons are rumored to be able to temporarily soften metal with their saliva, and if they do have the ability, it's not uncommon to build a steel city like this from the wreckage of a spaceship.

It's no wonder that the Sun Temple doesn't want to attack the gathering place of the dragons, in such a steel city, except for weapons of mass destruction, other weapons are of little use, even if they are thermal weapons in the traditional sense. After all, it is an alloy on a spaceship, and it has both high temperature resistance and low temperature resistance, and the hardness and toughness are extremely high.

The dragons are located in the middle of North America, which is about where the United States and Canada once met. Although the dragons do not allow outsiders to conduct their holy city, they are not actually in seclusion, on the contrary, they will come out and trade with the nearby humans. It's just that they are very credit-oriented. And trust only a few humans.

The hovercraft passed by the outer part of Bahamut, the gathering place of the dragon clan, Chen Xiansong didn't want to be troubled here, he also wanted to hurry to the pillar of the sun and find Sister Qianxin. Look what's wrong with her. It's just that sometimes, a lot of things go in the opposite direction of the human will.

On the plains. Although the hovercraft is far enough away from the city of the dragons. But he didn't know that although the unawakened dragon clan was not very strong, they had two special abilities, one was saliva, and the other was ultra-distant vision.

Hovercraft are not small, especially when traveling in the sun. Reflecting a dazzling light, if it is far away, humans may not be able to see it, but in the eyes of the dragons. They could see in the distance a 'shiny' treasure moving at a rapid pace.

Like the legendary creatures of the same name, dragons, especially unawakened dragons, are extremely possessive of shiny things. Standing tall in the city, several dragons saw the silver hovercraft on the horizon and rushed out of the black city with a roar.

Although dragons are humanoid, when running, they can land on all fours, increasing their running speed. Compared with the hovercraft, the speed of the dragon clan was slightly faster, but the distance between the two sides was very far, and several dragon clans rushed to the location where they saw the hovercraft just now, Chen Xiansong and Bai Min were already a hundred miles away.

But this is the grassland, and the strong wind pressure of the hovercraft caused a large area of green to fall down, and following this trace, the four dragons nodded to each other, and then traced all the way down the track. On the other side of the Bering Strait, Cleopatola, with her forty dead men, boarded a sea ship and chased her all the way in the direction of Chen Xiansong.

Continuing to walk forward for three days, Chen Xiansong came to the junction of North America and South America, which is the location of the famous Panama Canal, and at the same time, the southern tip of North America, the southern tip of the South American country, and the northern tip of South America, the Kurdo country, around the Panama Canal, the battle for more than 700 years, this is the key point of transportation, had to fight. After such a long war, the death toll on both sides has already reached an astronomical number, because the two countries have become mortal enemies, and the hatred accumulated for generations can no longer be circulated.

Whether the two countries are mortal enemies or friends, they have nothing to do with Chen Xiansong, but because the two sides have a deep feud, they have built extremely high walls near the Panama Canal, and even the coastal areas where they can land have walls. These walls are not those walls made of sand and soil in the desert, but are made of huge stones, repaired from generation to generation, with a height of thirty or forty meters, and the thickness should be more than ten meters, even if it is a high-tech hovercraft outer alloy, there is no way to force it to break through.

Chen Xiansong had to ask Bai Min to put the hovercraft in a secret place, and if he wanted to pass through the Panama Canal, he had to first pass through the border city of Linansil, Il. It's not impossible to rush over strongly, as long as Bai Min kills all the defenders on the city wall, but Chen Xiansong is not a murderer, and the city defenders of Yier City have no rabbits, no grievances and no hatred with him, which is against morality and ethics.

In this world, when encountering difficulties, there is not only one way to go. Chen Xiansong went to the city, found the best hotel to stay in, and the next day went to buy some dresses, and finally went to the tavern to inquire about the news. If it is in other cities, going to the mercenary union, or the soul contemplative association, is the best place to inquire about the news, but here, in this Il City, because of the long years of war, except for the city lord's mansion, and three small noble families that have a close relationship with the city lord's mansion, there are no other noble families in the city, and the soul contemplative association has not established a branch here, no way, it's too chaotic, those people are golden and delicate, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Walking on the street, Chen Xiansong can feel that the people in this place are different from other places, whether they are men, women or children, they still have a strong aura on their bodies, whether strong or light. After entering the tavern, Chen Xiansong found that the people in it were all drinking, compared with the smoky miasma places in other places, the people here were very quiet, but they were also terrible, almost all of them had wounds on their faces, some were missing noses, some were missing ears, some were one-eyed, and some were missing a large piece of flesh on their cheeks.

As soon as Chen Xiansong and Bai Min entered, they became the object of everyone's attention, no way, the temperament is too different, Chen Xiansong is obviously a rich and noble son, and although Bai Min looks white and tender, and is too beautiful to say, but everyone in the field is almost all old fritters who have experienced war, and when they saw Bai Min, they immediately lowered their heads and restrained their anger.

Those who have killed others with their own hands can see their own kind. In the eyes of ordinary people, or ordinary nobles, Bai Min is a beautiful 'weak' girl, but in the eyes of these battle-hardened people, they only see Bai Min's cold eyes, looking at them, like looking at animals waiting to be slaughtered.

This woman is not to be provoked, this is the opinion of almost everyone in the tavern.

Chen Xiansong asked for two glasses of fruit wine, and many people chuckled in their hearts, but no one dared to show it. In the city closest to the war, fruit wine was only drunk by women and sissies, and men, especially fierce men, should drink rye wine with a very high degree.

In fact, the degree of rye wine is only a dozen degrees. However, except for the stronger liquor in the Kingdom of Aurora, there is really no high number of liquor in other countries. Chen Xiansong looked at these people, knowing their silence, and also knowing that they were wary of themselves, who were obviously outsiders, and he had been prepared for this, took out a small bag of gold coins, put them on the table, and said: "There are forty gold coins in here, and I invite everyone to drink until they use up these forty gold coins." ”

Rye wine was very cheap, and a large cup was only one copper coin and forty gold coins, enough for the drunkards present to drink cup after cup until the end of tomorrow. Everyone didn't say anything, and although the middle-aged shopkeeper coveted the forty gold coins, he still wiped his cup and endured it without moving.

Chen Xiansong was not embarrassed, he was not in a hurry, he waited slowly, and after a long time, a middle-aged man in gray leather armor walked up to his table and sat down. Picked up the money bag on the table, threw it, put it down again, and said: "It is indeed forty gold coins, noble lord, you pay such a big price, there must be something, say it and listen to it, this money is too wasteful to drink, we have more than thirty people here, one gold coin each, and I can keep the rest for them." If we can do something, we will naturally find a way to help you do it. ”

Forty gold coins is indeed a lot, especially for these fritter veterans, such an extra income is enough for them to do a lot of things. Chen Xiansong is now accustomed to using money to open the way, and if money can't do things, he will think of other ways.

"Actually, it's not that hard." Chen Xiansong smiled and said: "I have just arrived, I want to meet the city lord, but I don't know the hobbies and taboos of the city lord, I am not familiar with the life here, and I can't find anyone to ask, so I can only use this method to achieve my own goals, I think, the tavern is one of the sources of news and intelligence, and there will definitely be people who know about the city." ”

"What do you want to do with the city lord?" The middle-aged man asked.

"That's a secret." Chen Xiansong replied with a smile.

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "If you want to be unfavorable to the city lord, you shouldn't come here to buy information with such fanfare." I have to say, you are very lucky, I used to be one of the personal soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion, and my younger brother is now serving as a knight of the City Lord's Mansion, although we dare not say that we know the City Lord very well, but some news is still clear, it's just ...... The rest of the money is not enough to buy such important information. ”

Chen Xiansong took out another small bag of gold coins. The middle-aged man licked his lips and said, "It still doesn't seem to be enough......"

"Being too greedy to be a man, maybe the things you get your hands on will be beaten with chickens and eggs, and good things will become bad things." Chen Xiansong said slowly.

The middle-aged man was stunned, glanced at Bai Min, and came to his senses, and the greed in his eyes disappeared a lot. (To be continued......)
