Chapter 35: The Bazaar and the News
Before walking out of the hotel, Ke Zhou still turned his head and borrowed a hat cloak from Zhou Yu and them. The current situation is not suitable for Beibei to show up directly, it is better to hide her identity and appearance as much as possible. At the same time, in order to determine the situation outside, Ke Zhou specially watched the people coming and going on the street for a long time by the bedside, and after confirming that there was no terrifying ambush this time, he also walked out of the hotel with Beibei.
This is actually the first time Ke Zhou has visited the bazaar of this world, and when he was separated from Xiao Liu before, he only bought some food and drink at random in the roadside shop, and did not go shopping around. This time I bought something, in fact, the main purpose was to buy something that could cover up their clothes and make Beibei look ugly with simple makeup - after all, Beibei's face ...... It's really tempting, not counting the mercenaries or killers and pursuers who come to chase and kill, just by entering the mercenary hall before, they are treated like that, and it is indeed because of this face.
But this is actually quite sorry for Beibei, but thinking about it, it's still important to live a little life.
The market is located in the south of the city, not far from the hotel where Ke Zhou and the others stayed, and there were not as many people along the way as expected, so there was no sense of crowding, and soon they came to the gate of the market. It is said to be a bazaar, but it is not as lively as Ke Zhou imagined, the inside seems to be deserted, and there are not as many shops as imagined.
"How so...... Isn't the market supposed to be lively and happy......" Ke Zhou complained as he walked in with Beibei, whose face was half-covered with his hat. Obviously, this was heard by an emaciated vendor at the door, who sat on a chair, crossed Erlang's legs, waved his hand, and said, "A small market in a remote area, how lively do you want to be, and who will come to this kind of city when they are idle and have nothing to do." โ
What he said was true, and although there was an airship tower here, it was in stark contrast to the city before it. It was deserted under the airship tower, along with the entire street. On the towering city wall, there were guards standing in rows, as if they were going to fight, which made you a little concerned. Even places like churches or schools seem to be lifeless, and there are no people.
Ke Zhou looked around like this, and returned to the vendor with Erlang's legs crossed, and the two silver coins had been pressed on the table full of melons and fruits in front of him. The vendor didn't react to what Ke Zhou was going to do all of a sudden, and thought he was going to buy some melons and fruits, and was about to get the bag, but he heard Ke Zhou ask, "May I ask brother, why are there so many soldiers on the city wall here, I haven't seen this situation before?"
As soon as he asked, the merchant also understood what Ke Zhou meant, took the silver coin with a smile, and replied: "It seems that someone came to inform that a beast tide may break out in this time, you know, it is the kind of demonic beast that invades the city." But we didn't know where it was, so we ran away, so our side could only temporarily defend first. But that's good, the law and order has suddenly improved recently, and there are no gangsters to smash and rob. โ
As he spoke, the vendor pulled out a cigarette rollโsimilar to the earth's cigarette roll, a special paper wrapped around the tobacco, but it looked much crudely made. Ke Zhou waved his hand, indicating that he would not smoke, and continued to ask: "Then has this place always been so deserted? And is there any good tailor in this bazaar? If it is indeed a good tailor, I will come out and give you some more?"
After Ke Zhou finished speaking, the vendor had already pointed to a tailor shop in the distance, and it seemed that he had long been accustomed to this action. At the same time, he replied: "There are several tailors, but the best one is the one I mean, a tailor with a very old experience." In the summer, sometimes some people come to escape the heat, but that's usually the case. โ
Ke Zhou nodded, didn't stay any longer, left a silver coin for the man and walked towards the tailor shop he pointed to.
Ke Zhou...... "Before he reached the door, Beibei's reminder had already reached his ears....... Of course, this kind of blinding method is also useless to him, but on the other hand, he doesn't have the ability to see through the blinding method like Beibei, so he is completely unaware of it.
After scolding the profiteers in his heart, Ke Zhou completely gave up the store and took Beibei to other stores.
......
After confirming that Beibei had left with Ke Zhou, Zhou Lugen came to Zhou Yu's bedroom. Zhou Yu was still lying on the bed thinking about what Ke Zhou had proposed before, but he couldn't make a decision for a long time.
"Young master, I found out the information about that dragon...... Some ......" Zhou Lugen's voice was a little unconfident.
Zhou Yu sat up from the bed, looked at Zhou Lugen, and motioned for him to continue.
"The dragon's full name is Beisha Kagles. I haven't found the source of this surname, and it is reported that there are no dragons with this surname in Ryugu at the moment, so I guess even this surname is fake. She died in the Dragon Valley Civil War fifty-four years earlier, at least that's what the records say. โ
"The Dragon Valley Civil War?" This is not the history that Zhou Yu has studied, and he has basically never heard anyone mention it. His fingers touched his chin and stared at Zhou Lugen, who seemed to be a little concerned about this matter.
"The specific side is also very vague, even if it is the Zhou family...... It seems that it is a bit difficult to find out about this matter. It is said that there are two factions within the dragon clan, one faction advocates rescuing the dragon knights of the Northern Eagle Empire from the cursed control, and then counterattacking the human empire to rebuild the dragon kingdom. The other faction believes that the dragon knights' dragon mounts live in better conditions than those of Dragon Valley, and even if they ask, they basically have no special objections, and at the same time, it is very irrational to start a war with humans. Immediately afterward, it seems that because of this stupid thing, there was some civil war between the two factions. โ
This really made Zhou Yu feel a little funny, although there was a feeling that one side was fighting for freedom and the other side was fighting for stability, but it would develop into a civil war, which was the most confusing.
"After this matter subsided, the dragons gave what happened to the Empire. Because this matter did not affect the empire itself, nor did it involve too many people, and it was a relatively confidential thing, it has not been made public. After Zhou Lugen finished speaking, he frowned slightly, as if there was something left unsaid.
"And then? She's on the death list for that civil unrest?"
"That's right, including her, there are 9 adult dragons and more than 20 baby dragons. โ
This matter is indeed a bit serious, after all, Zhou Yu never thought that there would be such a situation. In this way, it is likely that the person who is chasing and killing the dragon is not an ordinary organization or force, but more likely a person from the state.
"But that's not right, if it was the state, it should have been wanted, instead of always recruiting mercenaries and pursuers...... "This time it was Zhou Yu's turn to be confused, as if there was some haze shrouding this matter, and it was difficult to get close to the truth no matter what.
"She hasn't told the other side yet, but she just said that you need information about the young dragon, and you want to tell the family about it?"
"Not for the time being, if that's the case, I decided to ......" Zhou Yu's voice just fell, but he saw Zhou Lugen make a "shhhhh
Zhou Yu immediately stopped, after all, this meant that Ke Zhou had returned to the inn with the dragon.
"Then you can take Zhou Ting back first, she is a little uneasy to continue to follow me. As soon as Zhou Yu changed his words, he began to discuss the next arrangement. In his heart, Ke Zhou naturally wants to keep it, on the other hand, he also cares a little about the affairs of Beibei, and at the same time takes care of Zhou Ting's life safety. These three things were added together, and he could only think of letting Zhou Lugen and Zhou Xiong take Zhou Ting back first.
"No, if something happens to you, young master, the two of us will probably not even be able to save our lives. โ
"Just make up an excuse, like I've been subjected to a dragon or something, and then I'm the only one who can go. He said casually, not intending to let Zhou Lugen refuse. And what could Zhou Lugen, who was standing opposite, have to sigh, and after instructing Zhou Yu to send an excuse to the family, he left his house.
......
didn't rest for long, because of the airship's take-off time, that night, Ke Zhou had already sat in the private room with Beibei and Zhou Yu - after all, Zhou Yu was also a person with a purple card, so he was also in the VIP private room. It's just that compared to the previous carefree and easy, now he just sits on the edge of the bed, holding his long sword, and rests with his eyes slightly closed.
