The streets and alleys in Nanyang City are also lit up to welcome the arrival of the new year, and the cheers are endless.

This year, Li Xiangfeng was 17 years old, and Alberta was 17 years old. What is unexpected is that Lei Tian, who looks almost middle-aged, is only 16 years old. This was unintentionally said by Lei Tian during a meal chat, and Li Xiangfeng and Alberta were surprised and couldn't believe their ears. It is precisely because Lei Tian is born different from ordinary people that Lei Tian's strength and appearance have completely changed, breaking common sense and reaching the level of a junior warrior, of course, it is also because of Lei Tian's insistence on training.

Nanyang City Center Street is a street where various famous nobles live, among which the uncle of the imperial king, Zhennan Wang's Mansion stands on this street that makes countless people squeeze their heads and want to live, the broad street is enough to pass by more than 15 carriages side by side, and the mansions of various colors in the whole area are located on both sides of the street, and the street has never been congested even if it is a major festival.

There is a huge discharge at the head of the central street, on which the four big characters of "Central Street" are written with magic marks, and the font seems to flow slowly with the wind like clear water, and the magic mark is maintained by four huge stone pillars with a diameter of about 2 meters, of course, the stone pillars are magic crystals. This memorial arch has been standing in Nanyang for a hundred years, witnessing the historical changes of Nanyang City, and becoming the imprint certification of several generations of Nanyang City.

Today, it seems that the entire Nanyang City is boiling, and everyone is surging towards this street.

A few people walked in the distance, one of them was wearing a dark black power robe, a black bat pattern gold belt tied around his waist, a long black hair, tied behind him with a blue hair band, a pair of clear and bright eyes, smiling and talking to the two people around him, the tall and majestic body rose and fell with the walk, and the whole person showed a calm and heroic temperament.

"Xiang Feng, I heard that there will be a fireworks show and lanterns at the Lantern Festival tonight. Shall we go and see it?" said to Li Xiangfeng while admiring the surrounding buildings.

Today, Alberta was wearing a light blue magic robe, a blue dragon-patterned horn belt tied around his waist, golden hair, a pair of lazy eyes, and his hands behind his head.

"Go, go, go, why don't you go. Lei Tian said loudly to Alberta as he ate the special meatloaf he had just bought.

"You eat your meatloaf first and talk, you know how to eat and eat all day long, just finished eating two meat buns, and bought another meatloaf, that's all 6 copper coins. Or you have to eat all the money you have earned so hard. Alberta muttered a lot.

Before Lei Tian could speak, he opened his mouth again and said, "You see that the clothes you are wearing today cost 3 gold coins, as well as shoes and belts. I'll go to the rhinoceros skin, a whole 2 gold coins, and this, this, Xiang Feng can really give you this little soldier. ”

"You, don't you also spend money, just your magic robe is enough for my expenses this month, and my body is not as expensive as your magic boots," Lei Tian's broad body shook excitedly, his hands stretched out and compared his thick fingers, a pair of tiger eyes and round eyes, and his thick black eyebrows were upturned, and those who didn't know thought that there was a good show to watch soon.

"Okay, okay, let's watch fireworks and lanterns at night, don't you still have some money, Aier, don't always stimulate Lei Tian, and have you all bought things and mailed them home, now let's go and see those open stores to buy some things and mail them back, the caravan in Nanyang City heard that it is not closed, and I don't know if the things mailed a year ago have arrived, I want to go back to see grandpa." Li Xiangfeng pointed to the central street and faced a few stores that had not been closed, and the sign on the store said "Nanyang Commercial Inn", indicating that this was an official store.

"Okay, let's see if there are any better magic crystals in there, I don't have much in stock," Alberta said with a look of satisfaction on her lips and a smile on her face.

Lei Tian spread his hands, and then scolded Sang Huai disdainfully: "Xiang Feng, I see that our gold coins will be finished soon, and we also said that we want to establish a mercenary headquarters, hey." ”

"The gold coin is used to hate less" Li Xiangfeng deliberately exaggerated as if looking up to the sky and sighed, and then relieved his doubts, "It's okay, we'll pick up the task after the festival, Alberta is our only magician, magician is really a costly profession"

Then the three of them walked back and forth towards the opposite "Nanyang Business Inn".

There are a lot of people on the road, but with Lei Tian, the king of the road, the remaining two people are also idle. Bustling crowds weave between the wide roads, most of the shops have closed a few days early, and after a busy year, it is rare to take a few days off for the Spring Festival, and the few stores that are open are all official stores.

Walking into the store, the store is very grand, the wide hall is surrounded by rows of huge lockers, behind the huge counters are busy a few clerks are busy, in front of the counter Lingling is standing a few customers who are watching the products.

A young man dressed in a scholar's uniform and a scholar's hat pointed to the third row of the counter and said, "Please take this for me to see, is this book "200 Years of the Continental Calendar"?"

"Yes, sir, I'll give it to you. One of the little clerks, about 15 years old, carefully held a thick book and handed it to the scholar.

Li Xiangfeng approached and looked at the counter here, where there were no items he wanted, and was about to interrogate the clerk.

"Hello, may I ask, is there a snow lotus branch on the iceberg?" Li Xiangfeng politely asked the little clerk who was entertaining scholars.

"Hello, sir. This item is very expensive and doesn't like dust, so it's not displayed on the counter, so I'll pick it up if you need it. The little clerk replied with a professional smile.

Li Xiangfeng smiled back, "Okay, it's trouble," and then saw Lei Tian was looking carefully at a two-handed big sword in front of the counter on the other side, Li Xiangfeng walked over, "Lei Tian, this sword looks good, I see that there is a crystal at the end of the hilt of the sword below, but I don't know if I can seal a magic or something inside." ”

Lei Tian was suddenly awakened from his "contemplation", and saw that Li Xiangfeng was staring at the big sword he was watching just now, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said hehe, "I didn't think about this sword, I was just thinking about whether the war hammer I took out from the Burneon Mountain could be rebuilt into a two-handed big sword according to the appearance of this sword." Lei Tian explained to Li Xiangfeng the scene where he was distracted just now.

"Sir, this is fine, but if you rebuild the formed weapon, the quality of the weapon will be greatly reduced from before! A clerk behind the counter said very respectfully to Lei Tian and Li Xiangfeng, and then made a gesture of invitation with his right hand and said, "Sir, please look at these weapons here, these are all from the hands of famous artists, if there is any intention, I will show it to Mr." ”

Li Xiangfeng and Lei Tian looked along the shelves indicated by the clerk, and there were many weapons of various colors placed on them.

"I think this gentleman is suitable for using a two-handed broadsword," the clerk bowed very politely to Lei Tian, "Sir, look at this two-handed broadsword, it has a total length of 156 centimeters and a total weight of 10 kilograms." It comes from the hand of Master Ban Minda, a famous craftsman in Nanyang City. The clerk said to Lei Tian.

"Well, I think this one is not bad, but there is still a bit of a gap compared to the dwarven master. Li Xiangfeng looked at the two-handed big sword, which itself was already a middle-level blade.

"Yes sir, it's not that the craftsmanship used in the blades forged by the dwarven masters is much better than the craftsmanship used by us humans, but the dwarves are much more sophisticated in the study of ore than we are. The clerk replied to Li Xiangfeng.

"Well, that's it, let's make do with it for now, and when I have a chance later, I will definitely bring you a blade forged by the dwarven master. Li Xiangfeng looked at Lei Tian and said.

Lei Tian looked at this weapon and felt that the weight was also appropriate. The two waves in the open space were suddenly majestic, "Okay, I feel okay, how much is it." Lei Tian asked the clerk while continuing to look at the two-handed sword.

"Mr. 32 Gold Coins, if you pay Purple Gold Coins, you can give 3 Purple Gold Coins. The clerk was very happy, which meant that he could get another 3 copper coins.

Whoosh –

Three purple gold coins popped out of Li Xiangfeng's hand, and the clerk caught them accurately with both hands, "Okay sir, I'll pack it for you, this is a leather bag wrapped in a two-handed big sword, but it is a good cowhide, with natural butter in it, and it will not rust if you don't take care of it for three years." The clerk took out a leather bag from under the shelf where he had taken the two-handed big sword just now, and was about to hand it to Li Xiangfeng with both hands.

After Lei Tian took it, he directly wrapped his two-handed big sword behind his back, and laughed at Alberta, who was looking at magic items, and Alberta turned to look at Lei Tian while laughing and patting the two-handed big sword behind his back, which was very funny.

"The villain has a will!" Alberta snorted, continuing to look at the magic items.

"Sir, excuse me, the iceberg snow lotus branch you want is ready, please come here and take a look." The little clerk just now walked to the counter where weapons were bought and sold, and bowed respectfully to Li Xiangfeng.

"Okay, I'll go. Li Xiangfeng was about to go over, and suddenly a group of people came in from outside, and the head was a young man wearing gorgeous clothes, a white jade belt tied around his waist, black hair, and a fair face, and walked straight to the rest area of the store to entertain guests.
