Chapter 12: Blackstone City
Eun has been living in a small country town since he was six years old, and he is indeed very simple. Finish. Lin Lei felt that Jenny was also very simple.
In a few words, Lin Lei fooled Keane, the little guy.
At the same time, Lin Lei probably understood what happened to Keane and his sister.
"It's not that simple to inherit the position of the lord of the county town. "Lin Lei can see much more far-reaching than this simple sister and brother.
The highest level of the O'Brien Empire's cities is naturally the imperial capital, but it is the provincial capital of the seven major provinces. Below the provincial capital, there is the county seat, and then there is the ordinary small town. And then there's the country town.
The lord of the county town still has a very high status.
How could the position of the city lord be so easy for a simple young man from the countryside to sit on?
After a night of cultivation, it was already dawn when I opened my eyes again.
"Lord Lei, you should be in the border city of the Empire by the evening today. Lowndes smiled and said, "Lord Lei, let's have some breakfast together." ”
"Good. ”
Lin Lei took Bei Bei and walked over, as for Hei Lu...... Those who eat simply don't have enough for it to eat. Late last night, Heilu entered the Warcraft Mountain Range and had a good meal.
In a carriage not far from Lin Lei.
"Sister, I'll go down first. Keane happily jumped out of the carriage.
Lambert shook his head to himself as he looked at Keane's troubled appearance, and then looked at Gianni. Lambert is well aware that Gianni is kind and innocent at the same time.
"Miss, don't be busy. Lambert squeezed out a small smile.
"Grandpa Lambert, what's the matter?" Gianni looked at Lambert with wide-eyed confusion.
Lambert said: "You have also seen it, young lady, we have all encountered robbers and robbers on the way, and when we reach the border city, we will be separated from this convoy." When the time comes, I will be an old man with the young lady, the young master, and the two of you. If you encounter robbers and robbers on the road. I'm not necessarily up to the beat. ”
Gianni couldn't help but recall the scene of the robbers killing last night.
"yes, what should I do then?" Gianni was a little nervous.
Lambert laughed, "Miss, didn't you notice that Lord Lei? Even the bandit leader was killed by Lord Lei's sword. As long as Lord Lei protects you, there will definitely be no danger. ”
Jenny is eighteen years old after all, and he is not as ignorant as Keane.
"Grandpa Lambert, such a strong man, if I invite someone, will they agree?" Gianni looked at Lambert.
Lambert smiled and encouraged, "Don't worry, you just say." You and Keane are the sons and daughters of the lord of Chir County, and this time when you go back, Keane will inherit the position of lord of the city. As long as he protects you back, when you return to the city of Chir, you will be very grateful to him. Remember...... Don't say anything else, don't tell him that you used to live in a small country town. That's it. ”
Lambert knew very well that if he told the other party all the details, the other party might not agree.
"Oh. ”
Gianni didn't realize the surprise difference between what Lambert said and the truth.
"Go ahead, remember. Be sincere. Lambert encouraged.
"Yes. Gianni nodded, took a deep breath, and Gianni mustered up the courage to get out of the carriage.
Watching Jenny get out of the carriage, Lambert sighed secretly: "Alas, madam, can't you swallow that breath until you die, you have to let Jenny and Keane inherit the position of the city lord." Lord Count Wilder is dead, but the eldest lady is afraid that they will not easily let Keane inherit the position of city lord. ”
"If there is a ninth-level powerhouse to protect it, then it is very certain. "Last night, Lambert heard others say that McKinley had reached the realm of an eighth-level powerhouse. But Lin Lei easily killed McKinley with a single sword. In Lambert's opinion. Lin Lei should be a ninth-level powerhouse.
The wind was blowing, and after Lin Lei was full, he rested comfortably for a while, and he was about to set off after a while.
"O'Brien Empire, ah, it's here tonight. Lin Lei lay on the flatbed carriage, comfortably waiting for departure. But at this time, Lin Lei noticed a shadow coming from the corner of his eye.
"Jenny?" Lin Lei straightened up in confusion.
Gianni walked over with some restraint. Seeing Lin Lei sitting up straight and looking over, he hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "Lord Lei, hello." ”
"Hello, Miss Jenny. Lin Lei was a little puzzled, what is this Miss Jenny here for?
Gianni stood there for a moment, not knowing how to speak.
"Miss Jenny, is there anything going on?" asked Lin Lei.
Jenny's face was a little red, and he looked a little nervous: "Lord Lei, that's the case, my brother and I are going to my father's county town this time. The younger brother is going to inherit the throne of the lord of the city. But I'm worried about the danger on the way, so I want to ask Lord Lei to ...... Lord Lei, protect us. ”
Speaking of this, Gianni began to stutter a little.
Lin Lei still knows the general topography of the O'Brien Empire, and his younger brother 'Wharton' is in the southernmost province of the O'Brien Empire - O'Brien Province.
The one he has arrived at now should be the northwestern province of the O'Brien Empire.
From the northwestern province to the southernmost province of O'Brien, I am afraid it will take a year and a half. Of course. If Lin Lei rode the black-veined clouded leopard on his way, he could travel thousands of miles in one day. It can be there in ten days.
It's just that Lin Lei is not in a hurry.
My younger brother is studying at O'Brien Academy, what are you doing in a hurry? The most important thing now is to cultivate and improve your strength as much as possible.
"Protect you, for how long?" Lin Lei asked with a smile.
"It won't be long. Janny hurriedly said, "The city of Chier County is in the northwest province, and it is estimated that it will take ten days and a half months to get from here to there. We'll be sure to thank you when the time comes. ”
"Thanks?"
Lin Lei sighed secretly in his heart, with Lin Lei's knowledge, could it be seen that the position of the city lord of a county town would be so easy for two simple brothers and sisters who had no backing to get it?
"We'll give you a lot of gold. Gianni looked at Ray expectantly.
Lin Lei jokingly said, "How many gold coins?"
Gianni gritted his teeth and said, "Ten thousand gold coins, how about it?" Gianni has been staying in the country town since he was ten years old, and it usually takes a long time to use one or two gold coins. She also knows the county
With money, she thinks that the astronomical amount of 10,000 gold coins should be satisfied
"Ten thousand gold coins?"
Last night, the leader of the mercenary team wanted to give Lin Lei 10,000 gold coins in gratitude. In fact, don't talk about the wealth in the Lin Lei Space Ring. As a master of Lin Lei's stone carving alone, a work is now more than 100,000 gold coins.
"Isn't it enough?" said Jenny.
Lin Lei looked at Gianni and said, "Miss Janney, how much do you and Keon spend a year in a country town?"
"A country town?" Jenny was stunned, Lambert had just told her not to say that she had lived in a country town in the past, but Lin Lei obviously knew.
Gianni replied honestly: "It costs dozens of gold coins a year, after all, I still have to treat my mother's illness." Well, Lord Lei, I don't have that many gold coins right now, but I can have them later. ”
What a simple girl. Lin Lei had to admit it.
"Well, then, in fact, the inside of the empire should be very safe, Grandpa Lambert must be thinking nonsense. Well, I'll go first. Gianni was a little embarrassed and started to speak.
"No, I want to ask, how many gold coins can you take out now?" Lin Lei said loudly.
Just now I heard that the other party's county seat was in the Northwest Province, so Lin Lei decided to help others by the way. Anyway, I'm going from the Northwest Province to O'Brien Province.
"I've got ten gold coins with me now. Gianni pulled the pouch out of his pocket. "There are also some gold coins at Grandpa Lambert's. ”
Lin Lei took the bag and took out a gold coin from it.
"Alright. Lin Lei put the gold coin in his pocket, "From now on, you are protected by me." Of course, this piece of gold is just a deposit, and when your brother becomes the city lord, I will still collect the next 9,999 gold coins. ”
Gianni couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Thank you, thank you. Gianni blushed with excitement.
The convoy moved forward again, and the black-veined clouded leopard ran next to the flatbed carriage and shouted at Bei Bei suspiciously, "Bei Bei. The owner of 10,000 gold coins accepted the hire?"
If you want to invite a master of Lin Lei's level, 100,000 gold coins are not enough.
Lin Lei killed an eighth-level demonic beast, and the eighth-level magic crystal core alone was worth half a million gold coins. Generally, it is difficult for an eighth-level warrior to kill an eighth-level demonic beast, and only a ninth-level powerhouse can be completely sure of killing an eighth-level demonic beast.
"Heilu, what do you know, boss, this is called kindness. Do you understand?" Bebe also roared at the black-veined clouded leopard.
The two demonic beasts were talking in the language of the demonic beasts in such a low voice, and when Lin Lei saw the two of them talking, he smiled and lay quietly on the flat carriage.
"Crunch, crunch~~~"
The carriage sounded rhythmically and kept moving forward. When the sun went down, in the evening, the convoy finally arrived outside the border city of the O'Brien Empire.
Lin Lei sat in the carriage and looked at the city in front of him.
This city is completely black, as if a giant demonic beast is entrenched there. The walls of the entire city were thirty meters high. This height is difficult for non-strong people to climb.
"Blackstone City, the northwest barrier of the O'Brien Empire. "Lin Lei has long heard of the great name of Black Rock City.
Historically, there have been many large-scale battles in Blackstone City, and even after many years, when you get close to Blackstone City, you can see a layer of dark red on top of the dark boulders on the walls of Blackstone City. It was the color of blood stained red for years.
"Let's separate here. Malone shouted loudly outside the city.
According to the mandate, as long as their mercenary group sent the convoy here, the task was completed, and suddenly merchants or ordinary pedestrians walked towards the city gate in groups of three or two, each with their own packages and carriages.
"Brother Lei. Keane, who was in the carriage, shouted.
Halfway through. Keon knew that Lin Lei wanted to protect them, and immediately became close to Lin Lei. Lin Lei also asked Keane to call him big brother. After all, Lin Lei is only twenty-one years old this year.
"Let's go together. ”
Lin Lei carried two meters tall. The four-meter-long black leopard walked directly towards the city gate, and the originally lazy city gate guards were so frightened that they immediately retreated a few meters when they saw the black leopard next to Lin Lei.
Leopard Demonic Beasts, Lion Demonic Beasts, and Tiger Demonic Beasts are all high-level Demonic Beasts, and even the weakest Leopard Demonic Beasts and Lion Demonic Beasts are probably all level seventh.
It is also not a time of war, and the inspection at the city gates is very lax.
Even for Lin Lei, those city gate guards didn't inspect at all, and directly let Lin Lei in.
"God, what level of demonic beast is that black leopard, that leopard just looked at me, and I was so scared that my heart stopped. The gate guard exclaimed.
An older city gate guard next to him lowered his voice and said, "Be quiet, as far as I know, the lowest of the leopard demonic beasts is the golden-striped leopard, which is a seventh-level demonic beast. This black panther is at least an eighth-level demonic beast. ”
......
"Wow, this Black Rock City is so prosperous. Keane's eyes lit up and he looked around.
On the streets of Black Rock City, Lin Lei, Keane, and Gianni walked side by side. Gianni wore a peaked cap on his head, the brim of which was held low, and the brim of the hat was still veiled. After all, Gianni's looks are going to get into trouble.
"Is this also called prosperity?" Bei Bei muttered on Lin Lei's shoulder.
Blackstone is a city of war, albeit a bit more prosperous because of trade. However, it can't be compared with the holy capital of the year, 'Finlay City', and compared with the royal capital of a kingdom, 'Heth City', there is a big gap.
"Be careful. Lin Lei's body turned into a phantom and flashed directly in front of Keane and Gianni.
"Poof. "Poof. ”
With a wave of his right hand, Lin Lei grabbed two arrows.
"Want to go?" Lin Lei flipped his hand, and the two arrows shot back in the opposite direction, directly piercing the throats of the two men who were already preparing to flee in the distance.
"Uh-"
The two men clutched their throats in horror and fell to the ground dead.
"Ahh The originally quiet and peaceful street suddenly resounded with screams, and many people ran in a panic.
"Let's go. Lin Lei said to the stupid Keane and Gianni. (Two chapters over!)
