Chapter 190: The Secret of Hegu City
Since it is to exchange information, then in Lin Liang's opinion, Yue Xian'er must have very amazing information in his hands, and after thinking about it, Lin Liang first said the information he got in Xingluo Pavilion, after all, although Yue Xian'er has her own purpose, Lin Liang is still the captain on the surface, and Fang Yu's message to Lin Liang also stated that Yue Xian'er's safety must be guaranteed.
After listening to the information brought by Lin Liang, Yue Xian'er didn't have any special reaction, her brows furrowed slightly, and then she stretched out again, and said to Lin Liang with a smile: "Since the information you got is so weird, then it is better to listen to the information I have collected, maybe it can bring you something!"
"Then I'm going to listen to it!" Hearing this, Lin Liang also temporarily turned his thoughts away from the information obtained by Xingluo Pavilion, and waited intently for the information collected by Yue Xian'er.
After pondering for a moment, Yue Xian'er thought for a while and said, "I don't know what Brother Lin thinks of this Hegu City now?"
"How?" Hearing this, Lin Liang was slightly stunned, and then asked uncertainly: "What is the aspect that the fairy girl is asking, strength or prosperity?"
"Of course, it is the degree of prosperity, the strength of Hegu City will not be so easy for those of us who come to Hegu City for the first time to know, not to mention that we are still smelters from the Shangyang City branch. Yue Xian'er rolled her eyes and said, as if she was laughing at Lin Liang's many moves.
As soon as Yue Xian'er said this, Lin Liang was also a little embarrassed at the moment, and hurriedly said: "In terms of prosperity, this Hegu City is naturally extremely prosperous, even if Shangyang City is slightly inferior to this Hegu City!"
"It's not as good as a little bit, I'm afraid it's a big difference!" Yue Xian'er ruthlessly revealed Lin Liang's words, sighed, and said lightly: "I don't know if Brother Lin knows what this Hegu City was like before?"
"How do I know this! This is the first time I've been here!" Lin Liang smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"I had a good exchange with some of the older people in this Hegu City today, but I learned from them what this Hegu City used to look like. ”
This time, Yue Xian'er didn't sell it, and said bluntly: "The words Hegu City and prosperity in the past are not compatible at all, of course, because it is a first-class city, so there are many residents in the city, but when it comes to the flow of people, it is not one thousandth of what it is now." ”
"It's less than one thousandth of what it is now, how is this possible!" Lin Liang exclaimed: "Even if Hegu City puts aside its own first-class city, it is still one of the eight branches of the Instrument Alliance!"
"But at that time, not many people knew that Hegu City was one of the eight branches of the Instrument Alliance!" Yue Xian'er said with a little meaning: "At that time, the reputation of the Shangyang City branch can be described as extremely loud, as long as you are in the Southern Regions, if you want to refine weapons, you will definitely go to Shangyang City or Yongquan City, as for Hegu City, it is completely submerged in the light of Shangyang City." ”
"Could it be that the situation you are talking about is Hegu City twenty years ago?" Lin Liang, who had just reacted, asked uncertainly.
"Exactly!" Yue Xian'er nodded affirmatively, then smiled, and then asked Lin Liang, "Do you know who was the head of the Hegu City branch before Li Dongshui took over as the head of the Hegu City branch twenty years ago?"
"Who is it?"
"Li Xiliu!"
"Li Xiliu?" Lin Liang muttered the name suspiciously, and suddenly as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly asked, "Is there any relationship between this Li Xiliu and the current Li Dongshui?"
seemed to be very satisfied with Lin Liang's reaction, Yue Xian'er then continued: "The relationship, naturally, there is." The two of them are brothers born of the same father and mother!"
"Brother?" Lin Liang was a little sluggish by this information, and was speechless for a long time.
"Well, to be precise, Li Xiliu is Li Dongshui's brother. Yue Xian'er said with a smile: "However, this Li Xiliu was removed less than a month after he became the head of the Hegu City Branch, and it was his younger brother Li Dongshui who stepped on his shoulder to ascend the throne of the head of the Hegu City Branch!"
"But to be able to become the head of a department, at least you have to be a sixth-order smelter, right?, how could you be replaced after only a month in office?" Hearing this, Lin Liang couldn't help but question.
"In this case, you should ask the water refining vein, and the person who decides the head of the first department is only the right of those who have the smelting eight veins in the headquarters. Yue Xian'er explained lightly: "I don't know the specific information between the two, after all, the interval is too long, even some old people in the city don't remember it very clearly, because Li Xiliu rarely appears in front of people after leaving the position of the head of the Hegu City Branch, so now few people in Hegu City still remember this Li Xiliu, who was the head of the Hegu City Branch for less than a month." ”
"But ......"
Seeing that Lin Liang looked like he wanted to continue asking, Yue Xian'er hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Stop, I know this about the Hegu City branch, and I don't have anything to tell you if you ask again, but I still have some interesting information about the Cloud Dream Realm, I don't know if you ......"
"Say!"
Lin Liang replied bluntly, the matter between Li Dongshui and Li Xiliu can only be regarded as a secret, and it does not help them in the Yunmeng Realm that they are about to go to, so although Lin Liang is very curious about the secrets, Lin Liang is still more concerned about the information of the Yunmeng Realm.
As if she had expected Lin Liang's reaction, Yue Xian'er smiled, and immediately said solemnly: "Regarding the Cloud Dream Realm, the news I got is no worse than the news you got in Xingluo Pavilion. I also talked about what Hegu Castle looked like before, do you know when Hegu Castle began to become what it is now?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it should have started twenty years ago when the Hegu City Branch defeated the Shangyang City Branch under the leadership of Li Dongshui and became the first place in the Great Competition of the Instrument Alliance!" Lin Liang said affirmatively: "Because the result of that Great Competition made everyone fall through their eyes, and they all remembered this Hegu City Branch, which is one of the eight branches of the Instrument Alliance, like the Shangyang City Branch. ”
"That's good!" Yue Xian'er nodded and said: "It was also from that time that the Hegu City branch officially opened the Yunmeng Realm to the outside world, as long as you take the task assigned by the Hegu City Branch, you can enter the Yunmeng Realm, and when you come out, as long as the task is completed, then the other gains you get will belong to you, otherwise, you need to hand over all the gains in the Yunmeng Realm!"
"What!The Cloud Dream Realm is open to the outside world?How is this possible, and what is that mission?" Lin Liang was completely shocked by Yue Xian'er's news, according to Yue Xian'er's words, this so-called reward for the two divisions is actually not as important as Lin Liang thought, as long as you take the task, you can enter?
"I didn't believe it at first, but it's true. Yue Xian'er spread her hands and said helplessly: "It is said that it is open to the outside world, but in fact, there are two restrictions, one is that people from the Shangyang City branch are not allowed to enter, and the other is that they must accept the task of the Hegu City branch." ”
"Therefore, the entry quota of the Cloud Dream Realm is an important reward for the Shangyang City Branch, and we don't have to be bound by the tasks of the Hegu City Branch like everyone else, no matter what we get in it, it has nothing to do with the Hegu City Branch, of course, death is the same. Yue Xian'er patted Lin Liang's shoulder and comforted.
"What about the mission, what is the mission of the Hegu City Branch?" Lin Liang keenly grasped the key point in Yue Xian'er's words and asked directly.
Hearing this, Yue Xian'er thought for a while and explained: "According to the information I have obtained, the Hegu City branch in Hegu City will demand a large number of materials and a special medicinal material every year, and this medicinal material and most of these materials only exist in the Yunmeng Realm, plus there are countless opportunities in the Yunmeng Realm, so every year, there are many local or foreign warriors who take over the task of the Hegu City Branch, enter the Yunmeng Realm to collect materials and medicinal materials, and get the reward for the task by the way to see if there can be other gains." ”
"At the same time, because the Hegu City branch is one of the eight parts of the Instrument Alliance, although the reward is marked as a spirit crystal, it is also an opportunity to convert it into a smelting according to the will of the person who completes the task. Of course, this spirit crystal must be the spirit crystal obtained by completing the mission, and your own spirit crystal cannot be exchanged. ”
"Because of this, many warriors and smelters either want to get a weapon or a special instrument at hand, or they want to observe the smelting process of a higher-level smelter, so as to compare their own smelting methods, they have taken over the tasks of the Hegu City branch to enter the Yunmeng realm, plus the Hegu City branch has a huge number of such tasks every year, it can be said that the demand exceeds supply, so the prosperity of Hegu City has become more and more year by year over the years. ”
After listening to Yue Xian'er's information in one breath, Lin Liang couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and his keen consciousness instinctively affirmed that the information given by Yue Xian'er had some special connection with the information he got in Xingluo Pavilion, but at this time, Lin Liang couldn't figure out what this special connection was.
Shaking his somewhat tired head, Lin Liang got up and said hello to Yue Xian'er and returned to his room, there was not much time left before the opening of the Cloud Dream Realm, Lin Liang had to figure out the real information hidden in these strange information as soon as possible.
Compared to Lin Liang's distress, Yue Xian'er didn't have any worries at all, or she didn't care about these so-called information and secrets at all, and immediately closed the door after seeing Lin Liang leave, not knowing what to do.
