Chapter 75: The Difference
There were quite a few people around the statue.
The bored mermaid princess competed with the statue of Misha, and the "blue reflection" put her hands on the giant bear's buttocks, even though she was holding back her strength and splashing all over her body, but the statue swaying in the wind just couldn't move a bit.
"This statue is even more stubborn than the deep sea blue whale!" muttered the mermaid princess unconvinced, wondering if she should let Luke and little Goron try it too.
Just as he saw Lu Kai walking out of the temple, he immediately pounced in front of Ouyang, ready to encourage him to test it for himself.
"Keeping you waiting. Ouyang smiled apologetically at the girl.
"You have been successfully promoted to the War Sacrifice, can you get the fiefdom? Ah, why are you injured? Isn't it just a simple trial?"
Tutor Vienna frowned, unlike the simple little girl, she knew the Lion and Tiger Prince's thoughts very well. Originally, I wanted the young man to deal with this kind of thing by himself, but when he saw that the fat apprentice Sun was also listening attentively, he sighed in his heart. From the phrase "don't treat me as a stupid" in the lobby, you can know that he is smart, is he really dull in this regard?
Do you want to pull Huo Jiasi back to his side?
Ryan Sacrifice Oakes is the eighth child of His Majesty today, and of his more than twenty brothers, he is the only one to become a sacrifice. Like his brother, the eighth prince perfectly inherited the handsomeness and humor of His Majesty Thrall's youth, and he also inherited from his father the Lane style and love for beauty.
Mink ferret women have a custom, every year on the moonlit night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the women who have not left the pavilion pick chrysanthemums that match their age, find a calm and clear water, weave a wreath at the bottom of the water, wear it on their heads, and jump out of the water. The mink youth waiting on the shore stared closely at the reflection of the moon in the water, and the woman who jumped out of the moon shadow in his eyes would be the object of his pursuit tonight.
Therefore, Beamon calls the marriage of a Mink woman "out of the moon", and some people call the ferret woman "moon ying".
Oakes tells the story of the wolf Howling Moon, implying that he only sees the shadow of his beautiful ferret apprentice, and the eighth prince's demon pet is precisely the Howling Moon Wolf.
Seeing her apprentice's face full of relief at Oakes' story, and the satisfaction of tasting the most delicious food on her face, she sighed as a mentor.
In addition to this pair of newly arrived masters and apprentices, all the priests of Vissetton knew that the eighth prince Oakes was a "celestial wolf priest".
It seems that it's time to enlighten and enlighten your little girl! There is no happiness with Ryan, Ryan is merry by nature!
Walking out of the dark shadow of the temple gate, the sun was shining outside, and Vienna suddenly felt that the sunlight outside was a little harsh, just like the smile of the eighth prince.
Had I been in the temple too long? She was a little upset that her dearest child was about to fall into the mouth of a lion.
The Scepter Priest, who was a little distracted, suddenly felt that there were two people in front of him who greeted them, and they were two men and women who formed a strong contrast.
The woman's curly blond hair danced in the sun, like a noble princess in a fairy tale.
The man's dark hairs fluttered in the breeze, like a fierce robber in a fairy tale.
The blonde princess greeted her apprentice, Lukai, and kindly took the injured right hand and asked him about his injuries in a reproachful tone. The condensation of water in her hand made the scepter sacrifice a little stunned. Enchanter?
The black-faced robber, however, greeted him, stood in front of her and made a knightly salute, his fleshy face trying his best to pull out a smile, reluctant but kind, and then the urn sound of an angry greeting poured into her ears.
"Lord Vienna!"
The heavy guttural voice pulled her from her stunned to a state of distraction, and her dark eyes swept from noble blonde hair to fat bloody hands, then to a reckless black face, and finally to her own petite hands.
A powerful sense of difference rose from her heart, and she suddenly came to her senses and spoke, "Cullen, my knight, long time no see. β
It was then that she realized that it was her former knight Cullen and her followers who were waiting here.
"Don't you know that he can't control his mess, and he's not as messy as you are. Huo Jiasi's voice came from the side, secretly mocking Mirien's mess that night.
Vienna looked at her apprentice and sensed something different in her tone.
"How did you get your hands like this?" Mirien took out a strip of cloth from her bag and wrapped Ouyang's right hand, her hand looking very rusty as she had never bandaged the wound.
"I smashed the floor, a big hole. Ouyang stretched out his other hand to straighten the sweaty bangs of the mermaid princess, the September sun was not hot, but her forehead was covered with beads of sweat when she had been soaked in the water all year round.
"You're just messing around anyway. Miriam carefully wrapped the cloth roll and looked at it with satisfaction, "All right!"
"Your Royal Highness, may I ask where Withlton can buy what we need, we need some clothes, weapons, or some magic crystals for sale. Ouyang glanced at the pale green clothes on Mirien's bodyβit was thanks to the forest elf Lalandia that the beautiful princess said goodbye to the embarrassment of wearing her husband's shirt as a skirt. Turning to the prince who had promised Hogar to take them to visit Withton, his eyes lit up when he saw the beautiful woman, and his amorous behavior was obviously a little contemptuous.
Miriam glared at the beautiful guy dissatisfied, stopping the other party's inquiry. Prince, she's seen a lot!
"Of course, there is a shopping street in Witherton that is run by human merchants, and there are the most beautiful clothes that will please a few ladies. Hearing Ouyang's words, Prince Ryan withdrew his gaze from several ladies. He was a little envious of the shit luck of this fat Spade, and he was fortunate to have these beautiful ladies by his side, the Mink ferret like a full moon, the human mage who was as noble as a princess, the forest elf who was full of fresh breath, and a young human loli.
Speaking of the human shop, Prince Ryan still showed a confident and charming smile, he believed that he could win the favor of several ladies in those beautiful clothes, especially the Mink priest around him, her beauty and talent made Ryan's blood merry factor active to the extreme, and he had an urge to fall in love.
The northeastern part of Witherton was originally one of the poorest districts, but since the arrival of human traders, it has become the most crowded place.
The human merchants brought well-made armoured weapons to attract the Beamon warriors, the elaborate ornaments to the ladies and ladies of the nobles, and even the glassware of the desert country, and ceramics and tea from the distant Far East.
Oakes led the group to the first shop on the street, which was called "Blank Acquisition". According to the introduction of the eighth prince, the shops on this street belong to the "Blanc family" of the Duchy of Dolot, and all the shops here are named after "Blanc", and this "Blanc Acquisition" is engaged in the acquisition, specializing in the purchase of magic crystals, ores, furs, monster cubs and other raw materials. Human merchants bring these raw materials back to the human kingdom to make all kinds of exquisite weapons and beautiful clothes, and then ship them back here to sell them at high prices, making huge profits from them.
The owner of "Blank Buyout" is an obese middle-aged human being. Dane Blank, a peripheral member of the Blanc family, was sitting in a rocking chair and sipping a pot of Bimont's bitter tea, which was far from the fragrance of Far Eastern tea, but had a bitterness that made people wrinkle.
But Dane enjoyed the bitterness that brewed in his throat, so that he remembered that he had grown from a skinny teenager more than a decade ago to the wide-hearted and fat man he is today.
October is not the season for business, and Beamon is busy harvesting grain and hunting wild beasts for the winter. Hunters who have been collecting shards and furs to add some income to the year before the winter will return early next month to sell their goods to humans, and then their caravans will transport the year's harvest back to the human kingdom before the first snowfall. So now Dann is very idle.
But soon he found himself on his business, and a blonde Ryan walked into his shop with a group of people.
The shopkeeper put down the teapot in his hand a little curiously and welcomed him out.
He knew that Ryan was the royal family of Beamon, and the Ryan who walked into the store was still wearing a white sacrificial robe of war sacrifice, since the identity of the person, Dane didn't understand the other party's intention to come here, even if it was to please the girl, the other party should go to the "Blanc costume" next door.
"Can I help you in any way?" Dane smiled as he piled up his fat face.
Humans look down on Beamon, a barbaric guy like that, and most people in the human realm still have a understanding of Beamon at the stage of "Ru Mao drinks blood, and is extremely savage", even Dane, who has been here for more than ten years, can't stand these rude guys breaking the chair in the store every time. But for these so-called Beamon nobles, he still welcomes them very much, because these "nobles" never bargain in order to learn aristocratic demeanor, and they are a gold lord who comes to send gold.
"I'm going to sell some magic crystals. β
Dane saw a fat man several times fatter than him squeeze in through the door, he had never seen such a fat person.
"Is it to show that this Ryan priest actually found such a fat attendant to show his handsomeness?"
Dane slandered in his heart, and his gaze fell on the pile of crystals on the table. Selling dozens of magic crystals at a time was the first time he had encountered them, and his eyes quickly swept over them, and he found that these magic crystals ranged from the third order to the sixth order.
The shopkeeper stretched out two fat fingers and pulled the magic crystals on the table a few times before raising his eyes and asking, "May I ask my lord, are all these magic crystals for sale?"
"Of course, please calculate the price, I believe you will give this lord a reasonable price, he is the Eighth Prince of the Empire. β
Ouyang glanced at Oaks, who was casually glancing, and reminded the store in a "you will do" tone.
"Of course, we at the Frankish Chamber of Commerce have always treated every guest with integrity. Dane smiled as well and began to count the prices of the magic crystals on the table according to rank and attribute classification.
Ouyang took the gold coin and happily beckoned everyone to shop at other stores. However, before leaving, he mysteriously put his arm on the shopkeeper's shoulder and asked about the purchase price of the seventh-order Dragon Eagle Egg.
After Dan softly quoted the price of twenty times the gold coin in his arms, Ouyang laughed twice, patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder, and said "Take care of your business next time" before walking out.
However, when she squeezed out the door, she was stomped hard by Huo Jiasi, who deliberately stayed behind, obviously she heard Ouyang Fangcai's conversation.
Facing the white eyes of the little ferret, Ouyang laughed and pulled Mirien into the clothing store next to him......
Ouyang exchanged some of the magic crystals for the clothes and weapons of several people, and as for the loot of the weapons with obvious human symbols in the snail shell, he really didn't dare to take them out and sell them to human merchants.
Ouyang bought a thousand-pound machete and exchanged a staff for each of the two magicians.
At the end of the pleasant shopping, Vienna glanced at the inquisitive Prince Ryan and led the group to the foot of one of the banyan trees that formed the city wall.
"Luke, that blonde woman is your wife. Vienna looked at her grandson.
"Yes, she's a mermaid princess. Ouyang looked up at the banyan tree and replied honestly, probably after absorbing the blood and sweat of the warriors and the flesh and blood of the ogres, the banyan tree became extremely lush.
"And what about you, my little girl. Vienna shook Hogarth's hand, "Don't try to hide it, the mentor sees something unusual between the two of you. β
"Mentor, I, I didn't mean to. Looking at the serious expression of the tutor, Huo Jiasi argued.
"You've forgotten what I taught. Vienna said helplessly.
"Master, this can't be blamed on her, it's Mirien, the Nizi, who performed the 'Song of Temptation'. Ouyang interjected.
"Huo Jiasi, you stupid boy," the beautiful tutor's tone was even more helpless, "but it's okay, at least you have an excuse to avoid the eighth prince." β
"Avoided the Eighth Prince?" ...... Huo Jiasi couldn't turn around.
"It's more complicated than you think, my girl. You can never guess the romance of the Lane Clan, and I don't want you to experience it. Vienna's extension was full of concern, but it also contained the seriousness of not letting the two of them ask questions.
"You should know about the growth of this banyan tree, Cullen will not miss the opportunity to brag about his exploits, which is a bad habit he has developed since entering the military. But have you ever wondered what makes these terrible banyan trees? The Bimon warriors are warlike and warlike, and have great respect for whatever kind of warrior the enemy is. And in Witherton, why are these banyan trees that desecrate the bones of the enemy and the glory of the warriors?"
"Isn't it because the land is barren and Witherton needs these trees?" Hogarth squinted, and a ray of sunlight through the leaves fell on her raised pupils.
Vienna held Huo Jiasi's hand, as if to comfort her, she knew the innocence of the junior apprentice, so she looked at Ouyang to find out how far this apprentice had come.
"I thought it was to train the blood of the Beamon warriors, I fought with little Golon, I know their combat effectiveness, a warrior like Cullen has no problem dealing with a few ogres, but it's hard to say about Golon. Ouyang knocked on the trunk of the tree, shook his head, and said, "Or is it to establish the belief of the southern warriors?" But there are both temples and statues of the god of war here, what's the point of doing more?"
Vienna sighed, as if she was feeling the uselessness of her test, or perhaps bitter for the answer she was about to give: "You don't know much about Beamon after all. Of the five major temples, one is controlled by the Ryan and Tygo clans, the northeast temple is guarded by the most sacrificial Fox, the western part is handed over to the Bode Bird Clan, and the eastern part near the Takijiang River is supervised by the Febien Water Clan, why is the Wei'an Shaman in charge of the southern temple the Danqi of the model clan?"
"The Febion Water Tribes control two temples?" Ouyang's gaze deepened, and he smelled power.
"Yes, it was Danzi's father who proposed the sacrifice of the tree back then, a war sacrifice, it can be said that Witherton was built by their father and son, and in five hundred years, the crown of Southern Vian naturally fell on his head. And your trial on the Colorado Plateau is unfair, it's a trial of the Scepter Sacrifice level, it's a very unfair trial, Lukey, your status has affected the distribution of power in the kingdom. β
"Why? Just because of a fiefdom? Or did Lu Kai win the two sacrifices?" Huo Jiasi lowered her head, her mood was a little low, she was not stupid.
"These are, but not the main ones. Now there are five nobles in the Beamon Kingdom, among which the Ryan Lion Clan and the Tiger Tiger Clan are the royal clans, the Wolf Wolf Clan has the strongest military strength, the Fox Fox Clan has the highest rate of sacrifice, and the Smai Swan Clan has the most powerful sacrifice. But have you noticed that among the four major races of Beamon - Beast Race, Bird Race, Water Tribe, and Zerg Race, the Beast Race accounts for four of the five nobles of Beamon. Since Beamon experienced three major wars, the Zerg, the Water Tribe, and the Bird Tribes have declined one after another, and Lukee's return as a Spade has affected the rights of the kingdom. The Aqua Tribes finally gained an important voice in the temple. And our family belongs to the bird family. In the end, I, with you, are Zerg's. They are afraid that you will rise up and join forces with me to establish the power of the Zerg. So you are ostracized by the temple, the current temple is no longer the temple of a thousand years ago, they have begun to intervene in the power, and the war sacrifice can get a fief is the beginning. β
Vienna looked at her apprentice with some heartache, and these pressures would weigh on his shoulders as he grew.
"I see. But I'm not as weak as they see it to be. Ouyang turned his head and grinned,
"What 'war sacrifice', what 'wurm sacrifice', I don't care, I just want that fiefdom, in fact, my magic pet is not a wurm ......"
"What! Are you lying, deceiving the temple?" said Veena, who jumped in fright.
"No, I'm not telling you the truth," Ouyang raised his right hand, "My demon pet is a real dragon, and besides, it's still alive. β
"What?!" this time Veena was so frightened that her wings spread in vain.
"There's nothing surprising, my mentor! it's just that my dragon pet was badly injured and sealed itself, so you don't have to report it to the temple, they don't treat me fairly, and I don't need to expose my strength. β
"Okay!" Veena nodded at her apprentice's gaze, the child had surprised herself too much.
psοΌ
The plot of "Blank" is suspected of making up the number of words, but this business family will appear in the later plot.
The four tribes of Bimon: the Animus Beasts, the Boder Birds, the Febion Aqua, and the Fabre Zerg.
Ryan is a lion, Tego is a tiger, the model is a turtle, and Fawkes is a fox.
