Chapter 32: The Ranks of Confusion
Just when everyone was very anxious, Chen Lingqian saw a middle-aged man in linen with a simple appearance in the crowd, at this time he was completely opposite to everyone, without a trace of panic, just tilted his head sideways at a forty-five degree angle, looking at the diagonal back of the team.
Chen Lingqian was puzzled in her heart, and looked in the direction of the person's gaze, but she didn't see anything, and she tried to feel it, but there was nothing abnormal.
But my instinct told me that this person was not simple, and that something big must be about to happen.
Immediately, I didn't care too much, so I boldly tried him, so I said loudly, "The one in the yellow linen clothes over there, the rest of the people, please protect it." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked for a man in sackcloth in the crowd, and when they saw that familiar face, they couldn't help but be surprised.
The team leader was also slightly stunned when he saw this person, isn't this Yu woodcutter who often chops firewood outside the mountain? His family lives in a dilapidated house on the edge of the outer city gate, and there is only an old mother and a three- or four-year-old daughter in the house; because of the poor family, his wife died long ago when she was sick and had no money for medical treatment many years ago, and she has the strength to make a living by chopping wood and fishing, and she also sees him as pitiful, so she agrees to join the team.
These are all well-known things, but at this time, Chen Lingqian asked him to protect those fierce people who looked a little stronger than him, isn't it a fantasy? Not to mention that if the woodcutter brings four people, wouldn't it be better than Chen Lingqian next to him, this, how is this possible?
Although he thought so, the blue-robed team leader didn't stop it, Chen Lingqian's means and abilities were seen by herself, but I don't know what her intentions were in such a move, it was unpredictable, since she didn't understand, then simply pretend to be confused, as long as you can let everyone cross the valley safely, what means are used, it doesn't matter, and you don't have to worry about it, why not?
Just when everyone was surprised and confused, the team leader said, "Woodcutter Yu, then according to what Miss Chen said, the rest of the people will please you." ”
Hearing the team leader say this, everyone's eyes widened even more, and their faces were full of disbelief, but Yu woodcutter still didn't change his honest appearance in the past, just smiled and didn't say anything.
......
The people under the steep slope, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that this kind of decision is too child's play, too hasty, and no one can refute it, not that they dare not lead the team, but they also have no feasible opinions, and can only acquiesce to this approach, refute that they only hope that when the time comes, when the team is divided, it will be good to follow the team leader or Miss Chen, and the dead horse will be a live horse doctor!
Seeing that everyone was not objecting, Chen Lingqian also made up her mind, lifted her hair that was blown away by the wind, and then said, "Since everyone has no opinions, then I will continue, which of you can use wind attribute magic?"
The air fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke.
In the middle of the night, a weak voice sounded, "I can use it, but...
It's just that I'm not very skilled, and I often make mistakes. ”
Although the voice is very small, as if squeezed out of the throat, it seems to be full of ears at the moment in everyone's expectations.
Looking closely, the voice was made by a young boy who was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a thin figure, a scholar's hat, carrying a half-human-high long package on his back, and a loose earthy yellow cloth robe almost put the whole person inside, which looked very incongruous.
"I don't think anyone can use wind magic anymore, right?" Chen Lingqian looked down at the crowd and spoke again to confirm.
After waiting for a few seconds and no response, Chen Lingqian walked down the slope and walked towards the crowd, where she passed, everyone separated and retreated to both sides, and finally left one person standing alone in front of her.
He bent down, patted the boy's hat, and smiled, "Tell my sister, what's your name?"
Chen Lingqian has changed her arrogance and indifference in the past, and her soft voice is like a spring breeze in March, and like a warm sunshine, which warms people's hearts.
The boy hesitated for a moment, and then said "I, my name is Ruxi".
The team leader and Chen Hu, who were still on the hillside, frowned, looking at the boy standing next to Miss Chen in the distance, and said something to each other.
Everyone heard this also whispering, "Hey, why is such a young child recruited by the team leader?" "How do I know, I'm afraid that the little master of which family has a long experience through it." "I don't see it, you see what he's wearing, and we don't have much. ”
"Whatever you do, if you can use magic, get over here, damn it. "Hehe, Lao Sun, you're right, as long as you can hurry over, you can do anything!"
Everyone's words were heard by Chen Lingqian, but she didn't react at all, she still looked at the boy in front of her and said, "Then can you use the wind gallop?"
"I'm not sure. The boy didn't look at the older sister in front of him.
"Hehe, don't be nervous, you try. As he spoke, he stretched out his slender hand, and his fingers followed his gaze to a stone not far away, and then looked at the boy beside him, and then said, "Compare with my sister and see who goes to the edge of the stone first, and whoever wins, okay?"
Without waiting for the boy to answer, he took out a small, emerald green hollow pendant carved with a phoenix from his silver-white waist, and held the silver thread tied with the pendant in his hand, and put it in front of the boy's eyes, "If you win me, this pendant is yours." He smiled as he spoke.
If it was an ordinary man who saw this smile, he was afraid that he would have been fascinated for a long time, such as Dong Rui who was standing in the crowd on the side, now he is a little sluggish, how can he remember where he is now, he thought that Qian'er looked very good when she was angry, but she was even more charming when she smiled.
And the young man in front of him was staring straight at the jade pendant in front of him, unable to take his eyes off, and also couldn't take his eyes off the team leader and several other slightly older men, and the man surnamed Sun even pointed to the pendant and stared at the pendant with wide eyes and shouted, "Feng Mingpei!
"No, no, it's just a copy, but it's worth a lot of money. Then he changed his tune.
"Look closely, the thread in her hand. Another voice sounded, and the swarthy man said in a glutinous voice, and at the same time, his eyes did not leave the object in the woman's hand for a moment.
"Demon Suppression Silver. The leader muttered to himself in the distance.
Everyone was stunned that the woman in front of them was so big, I am afraid that the silk thread of the demon-suppressing silver in his hand alone was worth more than the harvest that everyone had obtained from a trip this time, but she took it out so simply and gave it away, not to mention this imitation Feng Mingpei, the two combined, the value must be far more than a medium-grade magic ore, and it is also purified by the Magic Association, and the kind that is common on the market.
It's just a bad thing, and there is only one thought in everyone's hearts at the moment.
......
Speaking of magic ore, we have to mention the currency system used in the entire Isutan Star, from the cheapest copper plate, to the most expensive and scarce source crystal, which is divided into five types, divided into copper plates, silver coins, gold sheets, magic ores, and source crystals according to the grade, and magic ores are divided into rough stones and purified and processed stones, of course, both stone and rough stones have four grades: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade and top-grade.
It is worth noting that magic ores can only be mined by exclusive agencies and specially approved organizations, and the corresponding areas are planned, and if they are mined without permission, they will be wanted and punished by law enforcement teams.
If you use it directly, there is a high chance that the ore will turn into waste residue or absorb harmful components, affecting your own practice, so even if someone accidentally obtains or keeps the rough stone privately, it is generally useless, because you can't use it, and you can't go to the magic association to exchange it for stone.
However, there are also some underground trading markets that are not visible, and there will be a channel for the exchange of rough stones, but the low proportion is scary, and it is generally calculated at a hundred times.
When it comes to the stone, it is a pentagonal shape made by the magic stone department under the Magic Association, which is purified and refined, and is uniformly exchanged and circulated, and the ratio is inconsistent according to the size and purity ratio of the magic stone of the same grade.
Some people say that the reason why the pentagonal shape is made corresponds to the five basic attributes that exist between heaven and earth, and as for whether it is true, only the formulator knows its true meaning.
