Chapter 123: Secret Collusion
More than 700 miles northwest of Wanluo City, there is a gray and black hill with no grass growing and extremely vicious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 At the foot of the hill, against the steep slopes, there is a huge manor.
In the backyard of the manor, two wide and flat stone paths meet the halfway waist of the hill, and huge holes have been dug out of the steep stone wall of the halfway up the hill, which are densely packed and look like beehives from a distance. A well-known ragged and dark-skinned miner, carrying large bamboo baskets on his back, lined up and struggled out of the cave to transport baskets of shiny silver-white ore from mining to the backyard of the manor under the mountain.
In the backyard of the manor, a large open space has built a huge smelting furnace, and hundreds of miners **** upper body, only wearing a pair of rough shorts, are working hard, pouring the transported ore into the smelting furnace, after a complete set of complex smelting and purification processes, refining a piece of the size of the hug, the color has completely turned into a huge crystal silver like silver, neatly built in a corner of the manor.
There were also a famous craftsman, each leading dozens of servants to come, filling the wheelbarrows with large pieces of refined crystalline silver, and pushing them towards the manor. The sound of "clanging" and striking iron in the whole manor is constantly sounding, and if you look down from the sky, you will find that there are hundreds of fires like stars. A craftsman is in charge of a furnace and leads hundreds of servants to remelt and forge a huge amount of crystalline silver into armor.
In the west courtyard of the manor, in a large and spacious storeroom, thick straight wooden sticks that had been cut into human shapes stood densely in it, and there were thousands of them. Each wooden stick is draped with a set of mirror-like silver armor that can clearly illuminate the shadow of a person, but it is a helmet, armor, battle skirt, elbow pads, knee pads, etc., and the armor is covered with finger-thick runes, intertwined and entangled into a dense rune array, and there is a small groove on the chest of the armor, but it is used to place the source crystal that activates the rune array.
These armors are the "Tongjing Silver Armor" forged by the City Lord's Mansion of Wanluo City with the "Tongjing Silver" produced by its own ore veins, although it looks extremely exquisite and elegant, and it seems to be able to be broken by blowing, but it is super defense, especially after being draped, it is a rune array that urges the source crystal to stimulate and bless the above defense bonus, lightness, attack enhancement and other effects, but it can directly increase the master's strength several times, and it can indeed be called the best fine armor that is difficult to find in the world.
"This batch of 'Tongjing Silver Armor' totals two thousand seven hundred and eighty sets, and the last batch will be completely completed tomorrow, this is the output of the savings of our City Lord's Mansion in the past ten years, and now all of them are given to you, one set is not left, I don't know how many families will offend the dishonest, after all, they have a stable purchase relationship with our City Lord's Mansion for many years. In the storeroom, a middle-aged Heavenly Destiny Master dressed in light casual clothes woven of snow silk, with dark hair tied behind his head with a headband, pale skin and a light face, was Tao Rong, the city lord of Wanluo City, and sighed as he stroked a set of armor draped on a humanoid wooden stick with his hand.
Standing opposite Tao Rong, a majestic middle-aged warrior with broad shoulders and a round waist and a height of two meters away, looking like a mountain of meat, with two huge gold rings hanging on his ears, sneered when he heard the words, "Hehe", "Tao City Lord, let's not get cheap and sell well, these two thousand seven hundred and eighty sets of armor Our mountain barbarians have paid twice as much as the top-grade source crystals, which is ten times higher than the price you usually sell to those poor families, right?" After a pause, the majestic middle-aged warrior slowed down his tone and said, "Of course, the City Lord's Mansion is also an old friend of our Mountain Barbarian Clan, and we Mountain Barbarian Clan will not forget the support given to us by the City Lord's Mansion. ”
This majestic middle-aged warrior is a member of the mountain barbarian tribe, and seeing that his skin is snow-white, his eyes are red, and his beard is curled, which is the characteristic of the mountain barbarian tribe, but he doesn't know what secret techniques are used to greatly improve it, so that he looks almost the same as the human race. Listening to the conversation between the two, it was obvious that Tao Rong wanted to sell all the "Tongjing Silver Armor" produced by the City Lord's Mansion for ten years to Shanman, and this kind of transaction had lasted for a long time.
The combat power of the mountain barbarian warrior itself is amazing enough, and wearing this "crystal silver armor", it will soar to a terrifying point, and it is not a problem to cross the level to destroy the Terran Heavenly Mandate Master, and the City Lord's Mansion of Wanluo City is for a little benefit, but I don't know how many Terran Heavenly Destiny Masters have died because of their greed.
No wonder Tao Rong has not been in Wanluo City during this time, and his feelings have been shrinking here, urging craftsmen to forge armor and make up enough money to trade with Shanman. It is no wonder that Tao Tao said that Tao Rong was secretly planning a major event related to whether their City Lord's Mansion could jump to another level in the future, with this batch of source crystals that are now trading with the Mountain Barbarian Clan, coupled with the foundation and strength accumulated by the City Lord's Mansion for thousands of years, there is no doubt that the tide will rise, and the family will steadily jump to another level.
"That's good, that's good. Tao Rong's words just now want this effect, at this moment he is a businessman rather than a city lord, as a businessman, he naturally wants to maximize profits, the mountain barbarian tribe's thirst for "Tongjing Silver Armor" is extremely clear to him, although the price of a set of armor in exchange for two high-grade source crystals is enough to satisfy him, but he still wants to let the mountain barbarian businessman in front of him write an extra penny.
"I've been in your human race long enough, tomorrow the last batch of armor is forged, I will leave immediately, this is the source crystal of this transaction, and I also ask the city lord to accept it in advance. The golden-ringed warrior said and waved his hand, and a mountain barbarian warrior who was a little shorter than him, but also sturdy like a rhinoceros, like his subordinates, with a pair of silver rings in his ears, walked up and handed Tao Rong a Tianluo package.
Tao Rong took the Tianluo package and weighed it slightly, he was in a good mood, and casually threw it to the family steward behind him, and said, "My lord dares to pay Yuanjing in advance, and he is not afraid that I will regret it at the end of the day?"
The Golden Ring Samurai smiled proudly and did not make a sound.
Tao Rong naturally knew what he meant, that is, no human race had dared to ignore the goods of their mountain barbarians, and he smiled embarrassedly at the moment, and at this moment, a voice outside the treasury that was extremely familiar to him, but extremely miserable, couldn't help shouting and screaming: "City Lord, City Lord, woe, woe, - you guys get out, don't stop me, I want to see the city lord, there is something important to report." ”
"Is it Shangguan Ying?" Tao Rong was shocked, Shangguan Ying was left by him in Wanluo City to assist his son Tao Tao, who was in charge of the City Lord's Mansion, and now why did he come here, and coupled with his miserable voice, Tao Rong couldn't help but feel a strong uneasiness in his heart, and hurriedly walked outside the warehouse.
The Golden Ring Warrior and the subordinate Silver Ring Mountain Barbarian Warrior glanced at each other, and followed silently, - the transaction will be carried out tomorrow, and they have just paid for the source crystal, and at this critical juncture, there is no mistake in the slightest.
At the door of the warehouse, Tao Rong's two martial arts masters grabbed one of Shangguan Ying's arms and held him in custody to prevent him from rushing into the warehouse. Shangguan Ying's two martial arts masters stood far behind, not daring to step forward. And Shangguan Ying's appearance surprised Tao Rong, the spirit robe on his body was broken, his head and face were full of dust, embarrassed, his body was covered with small wounds, and there was a terrifying sword wound with a palm length under his ribs, although it was smeared with elixir, there was still blood oozing out from time to time, obviously how powerful this sword was at that time.
Tao Rong waved his hand to the two martial masters, and shouted: "Why did you get like this? What happened at home?" Wanluo City City Lord's Mansion is where Tao Rong's base camp is located, and now when he looks at Shangguan Ying's appearance, it is obvious that a major change has occurred in the City Lord's Mansion, so Rao is Tao Rong has been the city lord for a long time, and his qi cultivation kung fu is very deep, and he is also a little impetuous.
"City lord, the sky has fallen, something serious has happened. As soon as he saw Tao Rong, like a lost child seeing his father, Shangguan Ying pounced forward, knelt down and hugged Tao Rong's legs and cried, "The young city lord, the young city lord is dead." ”
"What?" Tao Rong seemed to be struck on the head by a scorching thunderbolt, his body shook, his eyes were full of Venus for a while, his ears were "buzzing", and after half a sound, he leaned over and grabbed Shangguan Ying by the collar and pulled him up, and asked in disbelief, "Who do you say is dead?"
"Young City Lord! City Lord, the young city lord died so miserably, you have to avenge him." If I hadn't run fast, I would have died in the City Lord's Mansion. Shangguan Ying cried so much that his liver and intestines were broken, tears flowed sideways, and big snot bubbles rose in his nostrils.
"Who did that? Who was so bold as to tell me that I was going to chop him into pate. Tao Rong's eyes were red, like a volcano about to erupt, and his whole body was full of violent momentum, and the void behind him "buzzed" with a chilling trembling sound, and the first, second, and third runes all appeared, and the scorching and dazzling brilliance shone brightly. When Tao Qing died, although Tao Rong was sad, he had to do it himself, and he had to do it himself, such as trading with Shanman, and Tao Tao inherited the family business, so he forcibly endured the pain for the time being, and handed over the revenge to Tao Tao, but now Tao Tao, who he has painstakingly cultivated for more than ten years and has always been regarded as the best candidate to succeed him as the city lord, has also died, which is equivalent to a stab in his vital point, which makes him completely angry.
"Luoyi leads the Zhao family's son-in-law, Grandmaster Zhao. Shangguan Ying cried, while telling Tao Rong everything that happened in the City Lord's Mansion on the night Tao Tao's death, and howled at the end, "City Lord, Sect Master Zhao is so fierce, obviously he himself is a sow, and when he was seen by the young city lord, he was so angry that he actually killed the young city lord on the spot. That is, I am clever, as soon as the young city lord dies, he immediately turns around and runs to report the news, otherwise even I will die there. ”
"Bastard, you might as well die there. Let you assist Tao Tao, you can actually assist him to death, waste!" Tao Rong kicked Shangguan Ying in the chest and shouted.
Shangguan Ying's body flew more than ten meters away, and fell heavily to the ground, blood spurted out of his mouth and nose at the same time, and the injuries were even more miserable. Although he couldn't stop wailing on the surface, looking half-dead, in fact, Shangguan Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed this level.
"Grandmaster Zhao! Hehe, Grandmaster Zhao! The sister-in-law of the Zhao family is a human, is it possible that my sister-in-law of the Tao family is not a person? Needless to say, you are the son-in-law of the Zhao family, that is, the son-in-law of the Heavenly King Laozi, and I will also give you alive to Ling Chi. Tao Rong's body was surging, three runes flew sharply, and the gusts of wind were as sharp as knives, rolling in all directions, and he didn't seem to be very afraid of the Zhao family from which Grandmaster Zhao was born, "And Qianluo's child, you can't escape, and you have to die." ”
"City Lord, then we need to hurry. As soon as he heard Tao Rong's words, Shangguan Ying suddenly came to his senses and jumped to his feet, "In the depths of the 100,000-li mountain south of Baisha Pavilion City, suddenly an ancient Heavenly Destiny Master Ancestor Cave Mansion was born, and now the pig-headed dog face of the entire Wei'an realm knows about it, and they are rushing away in a hurry. Sect Master Zhao's kid also took his wolf fox subordinates with him, and it is reported that he will leave Wanluo City in a few days, and as long as we ambush him in the dangerous place he must pass, we will definitely be able to catch him off guard. ”
"The Ancient Heavenly Destiny Master Cave Mansion was born?" Tao Rong's face changed, a touch of surprise, surprise, and greed flashed, and then the hatred of losing his son overshadowed his coveted heart, and he said sadly, "Kill Sect Master Zhao first, and then kill Qianluo's little dog thief, as for the Heavenly Destiny Master's Ancestor Cave Mansion, hmph, what's the use of me at this time?"
Shangguan Ying shrank his neck and secretly slandered himself: You still have a lot of sons, although the rest are not very talented, but they have not broken their roots, as for being so depressed?
And when he heard that Shangguan Yingyan and the birth of the Ancient Heavenly Destiny Master Cave Mansion on the 100,000-mile mountain south of Baisha Pavilion City, the barbarian warriors of Jinhuan Mountain were stunned, as if they remembered something, and their eyes suddenly flashed with a burning cold light.
"City Lord, when are we leaving? Pity my good nephew, who died so miserably, I am willing to be the vanguard and cut the first knife against Sect Master Zhao's dog thief. Shangguan Ying clenched his fists, filled with righteous indignation, the green tendons on his neck jumped up, and roared at Tao Rong, but as soon as the words fell, another mouthful of blood spurted out.
Although he resented him for not protecting his son, but looking at his current appearance and listening to his brave and loyal words, Tao Rong didn't want to punish him too much, and said with a disgusted face: "Get out of the way, it's not embarrassing enough, stay in the manor honestly, and wait for me to kill those two mongrels, and then come back and send you down." ”
Shangguan Ying's face fell, and with the support of his two martial masters, he cowered and walked towards the manor.
Tao Rong turned around and said solemnly to the Mountain Barbarian Golden Ring Warrior: "My lord, you have also heard that my family has suffered a great disaster, and both sons have been killed, but with the current strength of my family, it is difficult to take revenge. ”
The mountain barbarian golden-ringed warrior twisted his chin and curled his beard, his face was slightly cold, and said, "......What do you mean?"
"The adults have traveled through hundreds of thousands of miles of territory and penetrated into the heart of the human race to trade, and they must have enough protection power on their bodies. Here, in order for us to continue our long-term cooperation, I hope that adults can help me to break the corpses of the thieves who killed my two sons. As soon as he thought of the loss of his two most outstanding sons, Tao Rong's heart ached sharply, and he gritted his teeth. (To be continued.) )
