176: Divine Bead
Walking side by side with Margaret on the street, Margaret's annoyed voice sounded in Roshi's ears: "Really, these human beings, if they drop anything, they actually take it as a treasure and offer it, and even cause a war for it, are they there?"
When he was in the restaurant, Roshi felt that the boss obviously knew something and was reluctant to say, and after controlling him later, he successfully asked for clues about the relevant compass parts, and this clue greatly surprised Roshi and Margaret.
According to the boss, one night more than ten years ago, the entire Black Moon City saw that a huge fireball appeared in the sky, and the bright light released reflected the entire night into daylight, and people with good eyesight saw a vague figure in the fireball, so the local people were sure that this was the manifestation of the gods.
However, according to Margaret's recollection, it was actually just a malfunction of her wizard ship when it entered the plane and friction with the elemental layer, which caused the wizard ship to catch fire, and at that time, in order to extinguish the fireball, she used a spell of gods and demons to summon a frost giant to wrap the hull of the ship.
After that, the locals saw a light fly out of the fireball, falling straight towards Black Moon City, and smashed right into Black Moon City.
In fact, this is the compass part of the wizard ship that collapsed due to the violent vibration and cracking of the hull, and Margaret didn't care about it at the time.
This compass part is made of a kind of magic crystal, which is indeed dazzling and beautiful from a human point of view, and it is impossible to make it with the forging process of this era.
Because of this, when the people here found this beautiful object that released a layer of glazed brilliance in the big pit, like a huge gem, in a smashed house, they subconsciously thought that it was something from the gods, and specially rewarded them with the Black Moon Tribe.
For a while, the entire Black Moon Tribe was in a sensation.
It is said that a festival was held to thank the gods for their gifts, and this compass part was also enshrined in the royal castle as a national treasure by the Black Moon Tribe.
However, in this desert land, there is not only one tribe of the Black Moon Tribe, and after hearing about this incident, several other tribes believe that this is a treasure given by the gods to the entire Lokia, and should not be monopolized by the Black Moon Tribe, and ask the Black Moon tribe to hand over this god-given object that they named the Divine Pearl.
Of course, it was impossible for the Black Moon tribe to be unified, and this led to wars, at first only a few small tribes were at war with the Black Moon tribe, and gradually even the other four major tribes of Lokia were also involved.
However, what is even more peculiar is that for some reason, the Black Moon Tribe has repeatedly gained the upper hand in these years of war, so the Lokia people are even more sure that the Black Moon Tribe is blessed by the gods because of this divine pearl.
So, the war didn't work, the tribes sent assassins, thieves and other personnel to the Black Moon Tribe to try to steal the Divine Bead, after experiencing a sacrificial ceremony that the Divine Bead was almost stolen, the Black Moon Tribe was also vigilant, and no longer took the Divine Bead to show people, and handed it over to the national teacher for safekeeping, except for himself, no one knew the whereabouts of the Divine Bead.
"You still say. Luo Xi pillowed his hands and said leisurely: "Look at how much trouble you have caused, causing several tribes to fight around for that broken part of yours." ”
"The human mind is really incomprehensible. Margaret stuck out her tongue
Margaret was not a group of wizards who evolved from humans to wizards like Roshi, she was born into a wizarding family, and she received a traditional wizarding education from the day she was born, and she was actually not very familiar with the human world.
After a pause, she continued, "Let's get this compass part back as soon as possible and end the war here." ”
Now that they knew that the compass parts were in the hands of this national teacher, Luo Xi and the two discussed it and decided to simply go directly to the door and ask for it in person.
"I don't think getting this bead back will put an end to the war here. Roshi shook his head
"Why?" said Margaret
"Intuition. ”
"Cut!~"
After passing through two blocks, Roshi and Margaret came to the stone hall located in the east of Black Moon City, located not far from the palace, and listened to the boss's introduction, this national teacher usually does not stay in the palace except for some major events, and his residence is in this stone hall, which he ordered to build.
The stone hall is a city within a city, divided into the front hall and the apse, the apse is the private residence of the national teacher, and the front hall is the most prosperous trading market in Black Moon City.
Almost all of Lokia's goods are sold here, but the main one is the slave trade, most of them are people from other tribes, but some are inhabitants from the interior, and it is said that some foreign races can even be bought here, and all the slave trade in the entire Black Moon City must be carried out here.
At the entrance was a towering wall, also made of large stones, and at the bottom of the wall there was a gate large enough for two carriages to run side by side, and two rows of guards dressed as samurai stood by the gate with scimitars.
When the two of them came here, they happened to see an old man with a big gold chain around his neck, dressed like a Saudi sheikh, coming out of it, followed by a dozen or so men, with shackles on their hands and feet, and a gloomy expression.
A middle-aged man in his forties who walked over seemed to know the Saudi sheikh, and went up to greet him familiarly: "Master Rama, come to the stone hall?"
"Yes, the fruit grove over there in Sha Tin is a little dry, buy a few people to dig a well. ”
"Have you had any good things lately?"
"I just got it from the Snake King tribe in the past two days, most of them are warriors on the battlefield, and they are strong and strong, Master Sloe, go in and take a look, otherwise there will only be leftovers left by others." ”
I heard from the boss that the price of slaves here is not expensive, and you can buy one for a dozen silver coins if you are cheap, but you must pay a fee to enter the city to enter the stone hall, which is a full 3 gold coins, which is almost a year's income for ordinary people.
After paying six gold coins, Roshi and Margaret successfully walked into the stone hall, and after passing through a small arched tunnel, the whole view of the stone hall also appeared in front of Roshi's eyes.
Although he already knew from the beginning that this was a slave trading market, and he also knew that it was mainly human trafficking, when he really saw the panorama inside, Roshi still couldn't help but secretly speak, the 'prosperity' in it, even in the eyes of him, a wizard, was very surprised.
