Chapter 48: Counterreckoning

At this time, Xi continued:

"According to your description, Priest Du, the sword skills recorded on this Albert scroll are likely to have been left behind by Lord Xilan, one of the Four Sword Saints. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As soon as they heard the word "Xilan", all the people, including Du Yuqi, gasped, such a strong man who had left a great reputation hundreds of years ago, and should still be alive now, hearing his name was really a thunderous feeling.

Needless to say, the specific life of Xi Lan, Du Yuqi has seen it in Baidu Encyclopedia on the earth, to put it simply, this guy is to the Arad Continent, it is like the five masters of the East Evil and West Poison Southern Emperor and Northern Beggars in the Condor Archery, and he is so awesome that he can't do it.

Du Yuqi was undoubtedly very excited when he learned that he could actually obtain his swordsmanship scroll at this time, but he suddenly remembered one thing, and immediately frowned:

"The abbreviation of Xilan should be XL, right? Why is the abbreviation XS left here?"

Xi's face showed a rare smile, because the injury had not healed and the slightly pale little face had an extra smile, but there was a rare weakness and beauty:

"Uh, didn't you just say that there was already a mistake in his line of words, so I put a big cross on it, and finally replaced it with the word "of", but the word "of" is probably not sure to be right, so there is still a question mark behind it......"

Du Yuqi nodded and said:

"That's right. ”

Xi said lightly:

"I suppose His Excellency Sylan must have been so drunk when he wrote this scroll that he made two mistakes, and unfortunately he found only one. ”

Du Yuqi and the people next to her were speechless, but they didn't know why, but they actually felt that what Sister Xi said was so reasonable.......

But next to the big city, there is often a large river with abundant water, which seems to be accidental, but in fact it is inevitable, just because if you want to build a prosperous city, the daily throughput of goods is very amazing, and the clean, labor-saving, simple, convenient, and low cost of water transportation will always be a hundred times stronger than the land route, not to mention that the rolling water can directly wash away a large amount of garbage generated every day.

Therefore, as a large city, Shatli also has abundant water resources next to it, and there is not only the Wova River outside the city, but also a Luoxu River passing through the north of the city.

At this time, Du Yuqi and others have already left the city of Shatley, and came to the area equivalent to the wharf on the outskirts of the city, even in the dark, you can see the frozen Wowa River through the starlight like a white ribbon, winding around from a distance, on both sides of the Wowa River, is an endless field, and the wind from the extreme north blows from the field, whirling and making a poignant and vast whimper, giving people a particularly vast and lonely feeling.

Looking back at the city of Shatley, you can still see fires raging in the city, and explosions will be heard from time to time, indicating that this devastated city is still in chaos, and at this time, only the Imperial Army should be the only ones who insist on fighting, but at this time, they who have not received assistance for a long time should also be the end of the crossbow.

At this time, Du Yuqi's place is still quite complicated, similar to the slums, a very simple dirty mess can outline the style of this place, it gets dark very early, so Du Yuqi and others even went out of the city in a circle, and it was only about eight or nine o'clock in the evening when they came here.

It belongs to the dock area again, and is inhabited by porters, porters and other guys who mainly do manual work, united and strong, so it actually forms a small market, full of people, in this bazaar, the best goods are two things, firewood and food for heating.

The necessities of life have completely turned into hard currency, the value of the banknotes issued by the empire has fallen so much that it is almost reduced to scrap paper, and even the purchasing power of magic gold coins has dropped by at least half of it. Of course, for the well-prepared, this is also full of business opportunities, and the chaos of order in the city means that there are often "windfalls", silver candlesticks and tapestries that are usually hung in the homes of nobles and rich people, and they are all sold at astonishing low prices.

Even Du Yuqi saw the expensive goods peddled in a camera obscura, and there was nothing wrong with the goods themselves, such as gold rings, pearl earrings and the like, the problem was that the gold ring was still worn on the severed finger, and the pearl earrings would be bought one get one free with a frozen stiff ear.....

Finally, Du Yuqi found what he was looking for in this bazaar------ that is, fishmongers, you can see them directly leaning against the wall to sell, because the temperature is too low, the skewered fish are frozen hard, so at first glance I thought they were selling brooms.

Du Yuqi walked over, simply flicked a silver coin to the boss who sold fish, and then said straight to the point:

"Do you have black sturgeons?"

The owner of the fish seller immediately shook his head and said:

"Sir, the black sturgeon has a habit of feeding close to the bottom of the river, and it was caught very hard this fall, so it is very rare. ”

Du Yuqi sighed and said:

"So it's very difficult for me to get a fresh black sturgeon the size of a palm?"

The boss shrugged and said:

"Sir, in fact I have only seen three fresh black sturgeons since the beginning of winter, the largest of which is three fingers wide, so I don't think what you say is very difficult and does not match the current situation. ”

Du Yuqi said:

"Do you have any good advice if I really want it?"

The boss was stunned, and then said:

You might try praying and ask God to hear you. ”

Du Yuqi smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll be specific, I hope that everyone in the neighborhood who knows how to fish will immediately go and dig ice to help me catch fish, do you have any good suggestions?"

The boss was stunned and said:

"Sir, this is impossible, unless you can bring firewood and food to fill the Sova Square, which are now in short supply everywhere! These are the only things that can make people take the great risk of going to the ice in the middle of the night to fish, and you must tell them that you will exchange all the fish you catch for firewood and food. ”

Du Yuqi nodded and said:

"Excellent advice, I'll be back in an hour with food and firewood. ”

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the fishmonger in place, not coming back to his senses for a long time.

After he couldn't see the fishmonger, Mingxi said a little anxiously:

"There should be a shortage of firewood and food everywhere now, where are we going to find so many of these things?"

Du Yuqi smiled:

"It's okay. ”

Every time he sighed:

"If it was before the turmoil, it would have been about the same, but now that Shatley is in chaos, I guess it will be difficult to do this, so we might as well try. ”

Du Yuqi shook his head and said:

"It's not that easy, fishing is a technical job, and fishing in such weather requires not only skill, but also luck! ”

"Isn't this a dead end?" Mingxi also frowned, but she was obviously not a person who would only ask questions and not solve them, and suddenly her eyes lit up and said:

"By the way, I saw a document last year that the divine power of the God of Contract has spread to a place called the Inuit plane, where there is a kind of intelligent creature called the Seal Man, these guys can live in the ice sea, I can try to do a limited summon, if I can summon such a thing, let it dive directly under the ice to catch fish, then the odds are very high. ”

Speaking of which, she looked at each other again:

"If the two of us summon together, then as long as the first summoning contract is reached, we will be able to summon at least a dozen seals within a few hours, regardless of sacrifices. ”

Du Yuqi smiled:

"Don't bother. ”

There was an indescribable cruelty hidden in his smile:

"Why do I catch fresh black sturgeon?"

Ming Xi hesitated for a moment and said:

"Isn't it used for a blessing ceremony?"

Du Yuqi smiled;

"Well, not exactly, but if you think about it, in the final analysis, it's just to make sure that Count Ratnes doesn't come under the threat of a curse, and sometimes, there's more than one way to achieve your goals. ”

Speaking of this, Du Yuqi looked around and smiled:

"To tell you the truth, I was taken aback when I saw you, I didn't expect to see so many old friends in the cold of Shatley, since I couldn't even think of things, then my enemies naturally couldn't think of them. ”

"Therefore, I believe that now it is only necessary to spread the word that I am going to find someone to go to the Wowa River to dig ice and fish at all costs, and then it will most likely reach the ears of my enemies, who are now in the upper hand. ”

Speaking of this, Du Yuqi sneered:

After all, a holy place like the Minsk Cathedral can be said to be perfectly restrained from the curse, and although it is besieged, it is more difficult for others to break in, so their odds of victory are lower than mine. ”

"Therefore, once I find out that I am not staying in the Minsk Cathedral, but fleeing to the chaotic city of Shatli, which is equivalent to their home field------ then it is natural that they will come to me for trouble! ”

Speaking of this, Du Yuqi looked around, probably to see if anyone questioned his judgment, and then continued:

"In fact, for the entire mysterious organization, I am actually just an insignificant little person, and I am from the other world, so it can be said that it will not be in their plan, so this group of guys who are plotting against me will definitely not bring too many people!

"At that time, it will actually be very simple, I will attract firepower in front, and you will be secretly sneaking around, relying on the advantage of night vision devices to wait for a great opportunity to suddenly kill, and there is only one goal, that is, to gather fire The spell master who can cast the blood curse spell, and withdraw immediately after succeeding!"

"Hehe, that bloodborne curse technique is so perverted, it must not be something that any cat or dog can learn, so as long as you kill him, all the problems will be solved from the root. So all the while, my goal was on the curser, the so-called black sturgeon, it was just a bait that was released!

After hearing the plan arranged by Du Yuqi, the others were silent, almost speechless, and even had a feeling in their hearts, that is, if they wanted to be Du Yuqi's enemy, then they really had to be careful everywhere, because they couldn't tell when they would be directly calculated by him, maybe you think that you have the chance to win, but it is a pit that has been dug a long time ago waiting for you to jump in.

Then Du Yuqi thought about it, and began to make a big noise, he returned to Shatley and grabbed a few people at random to ask about it, and then learned the basic situation in this neighborhood, although it can be said that there are many poor people here, but there are also a lot of powerful people, and asked who the most famous grain merchant is, and walked directly towards his residence.

In all dynasties, the merchants who can control salt, grain, and steel, without exception, belong to the monstrous power, because these materials are the lifeblood of the national economy and people's livelihood, and salt and grain must not be lacking for a while, and there will be a big mess in two or three days of shortage, and steel is a very intuitive embodiment of the country's national strength.

Therefore, such big merchants are often very powerful, salt merchants have salt ding, and grain merchants have grain protection teams, and they have to escort and transfer grain to various places, even if it is changed to the Arad continent.

And now it can be said that there is great turmoil everywhere in Shatley, and grain has become a scarce resource, so the grain merchants who can hold on to it and are still safe and sound, it can be said that they must have very strong strength under their hands, and they definitely have a large number of black-hearted private armed forces under their hands.

Today, my public number has a dynamic gif of the jump after the update, as well as the earth version of the Albert scroll, interested friends can go and take a look, and directly search for the public number of the comeback. (To be continued.) )
