Walking on the streets of Mocheng, Meng Yang finally realized the role of divine consciousness. He easily controlled all the movements within a hundred meters, the conversation between the street vendors and passers-by, the laughter and play between the heavily makeup woman and the drunken warrior in the fireworks willow alley, he could clearly know, and the most important thing was that no matter how his divine sense swept, it would not arouse anyone's notice.

This is really a pure martial arts world, but after a few days of fighting in the hunting area, Meng Yang gradually realized that although the divine consciousness that could not cast spells played a huge role in the battle, it would have an irreplaceable huge role in his subsequent development in the Continent of Desire.

Nina noticed that the people on the street were secretly pointing at her and Meng Yang, and she didn't care, she had long been used to people's attention. However, Meng Yang's dress does not show the slightest flaw, and the eldest lady of the Qinghua family who goes shopping with a samurai entourage is nothing to make a fuss about.

Meng Yang heard many people talking in secret, talking about the gambling debt between the young master of the Tiehua family, Dur and Nina, many people seemed to express sympathy and helplessness for the current decline of the Qinghua family, and there were a lot of sighs in the words, it seems that the popularity of the Qinghua family in Mocheng is really good.

"Meng Yang, do you know, the seven cities of Changle do not allow locals to do business, you see the shops, teahouses, wine shops and those places in these four places, all of them are opened by outsiders, they only need to go through the lease operation in the city lord's mansion, pay rent and taxes, and get the protection of the city lord's mansion, and make a lot of money from the people of Mocheng. There are only two places in Mocheng that are run by the City Lord's Mansion, one is the Fighting Arena and the other is the Armor Shop. ”

After dealing with the gambling debts hanging in her heart, Nina was a lot more relaxed, and when she saw Meng Yang looking around curiously, she began to slowly introduce Meng Yang.

Meng Yang was happy to know more about the plane of Mocheng and Changle, so he listened intently and did not answer.

"You see, the most majestic castle in the center of Mocheng, yes, yes, there is a huge banner planted, that is, the City Lord's Mansion, the armor shop is on the street on the left side of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, covering an area of five hundred acres, and on the right is the most lively and prosperous arena in Mocheng, where tens of thousands of people enter and exit every day. ”

Meng Yang raised his eyes and saw a castle with a pale golden façade, knowing that his current strength was too low, so he didn't inquire about the city lord's information.

However, he was concerned about the armor shop and the fighting arena, and he also wanted to understand how Mocheng, which had hundreds of thousands of people, except for the four ancient martial arts families, ordinary martial artists, soul warriors and the like survived.

Nina patiently introduced Meng Yang: "In Mocheng, only a big family like us, who has inherited a thousand-year-old martial arts heritage, can build a small castle and settle here. You see, the southern district is the castle of the Tiehua family, the northern district is the red flower family, and the eastern district is the white flower family. Except for the City Lord's Mansion, there are only four small castles of our four families in Mocheng. ”

"Look at the streets of this strange traffic, the low stone-walled houses behind the rows of shops, are the places where ordinary people live. Our Mocheng has a population of nearly 400,000, and they all obtained the right of residence after registering in the city lord's mansion, and those who do not have the right of residence can only live in those hotels. Of course, our four great Guwu families enjoy certain privileges, as long as the person who is hired by us will naturally obtain the right of residence, for example, you don't need to worry about this. ”

"Ordinary people have to pay a certain amount of gold every month like the tax collectors of each district, which is a poll tax. Only tax-paying residents are protected by Mocheng, because only Mocheng is a safe zone. ”

Meng Yang asked in a low voice, "How did they survive with so many people?"

Nina said with a smile: "There are nearly 3,000 shops of all kinds in Mocheng, and outsiders need hired workers to operate in Mocheng, as long as they are a little stronger, they will find a job to make a living, and they don't have to go out of the city to adventure all day long, such as the fighting arena, there are thousands of employees." Of course, many more people choose to engage in farming or mining, that is, they are employed by the small lords of the districts. ”

Meng Yang also smiled: "Your Qinghua family is a little lord, right?" Also, planting requires a lot of manpower, and mining is inseparable from people, and you four little lords can be regarded as feeding the vast majority of people in Mocheng, it's not easy!"

A red cloud flew up Nina's cheeks, "I'm ashamed, as the strength of our Qinghua family continues to decline, the number of employees in our family is decreasing every year, unlike the other three families, which are increasing every year. But, no matter how hard I try, you can see that the current situation of our family is like this, sometimes I really hate myself, how nice it would be if I were a man?"

Meng Yang smiled: "Hey, how could the eldest lady have such a strange idea?"

Nina looked at the sky with faint eyes, today's sunlight was softer, sprinkled on her fair face, she said leisurely: "If I were a man, my father would have the opportunity to lead the Qinghua family to revive the prestige of the Qinghua family thousands of years ago, I can go to the hunting area without dodging, I can plan our family's territory drastically, and I can participate in fighting when I am most short of money・・・・・・ you know, women are not allowed to participate in the fighting arena." ”

"Today's Mocheng Arena has long lost a place in the Qinghua family, and I often can't sleep or eat when I think of this・・・・・・," Nina said with a sad face.

"This is such a stubborn and tenacious girl. Meng Yang exclaimed in his heart.

"Miss, what does the arena have to do with the strength of the family?" Meng Yang asked.

"The arena is divided into a low-level area and a high-level area, the low-level area is for warriors and warriors below the warrior level to participate, and the high-level area is for martial artists above the soul warrior level to participate. And there are ten masters in both districts, and almost all of these twenty people are from the other three families, and there is no one from our Qinghua family, do you know how humiliating this is for the people of our Qinghua family?" Nina said with unwillingness in her eyes and hatred.

"What are the top ten masters? Are they very powerful? How the hell is the arena played, you tell me. Meng Yang asked.

"The arena is a bloody place, and the people who go into the ring are ruthless, and even if they win, they will take the lives of their opponents. It is precisely because of its cruelty and bloodiness that it attracts countless people to go to gambling every day, because every competition will open a gambling plate, and those out-of-town owners who make a lot of money, as well as the big families of Tiehua and Baihua, will invest a lot of money in it. Some poor people will turn over because of a bet, and some will lose nothing, and even owe high-interest debts. ”

"Could it be that there are still people in the arena who specialize in lending loans with high interest rates?" Meng Yang was stunned in his heart and asked.

"Yes, the young master of the Iron Flower Family, Dul, whom you met in the morning, is one of the famous money lenders in the arena, and is secretly called a vampire by the people. There are countless bosses and wealthy people involved, and I heard that they have formed a lending group in private, but I don't know if it's true. ”

Meng Yang was already familiar with the matter between lending and borrowing, so naturally he didn't need to listen to Nina's detailed explanation. He was still concerned about the rules of the arena and the affairs of the twenty masters.

Nina said, "Even though the arena is such a bloody and cruel place, there are still countless people who have signed up for the competition in order to win a high gold reward for winning. I owe Dur a gambling debt of 50,000 gold coins because my father's most important brother, Sylvie, was unfortunately killed by the Iron Flower Family's Chanson, and my heart is full of remorse when I think of it. ”

Meng Yang said: "Miss, since the incident has happened, it is useless for you to blame yourself." I think you accepted the invitation in order to protect the reputation of the Qinghua family, and Brother Sylvie must have understood it very well, so he came out of the jam. Don't worry, we will definitely avenge Brother Sylvie's revenge! Now please tell me about some of the rules of the arena and the situation of those twenty masters. ”

Nina was surprised: "Meng Yang, what do you want to do? Do you want to participate in the fighting competition? No, no, I don't allow it, you haven't forged your soul yet, how can I let you take the risk? No, absolutely not!"

Meng Yang had no choice but to agree first and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I won't do anything stupid." I just want to know more about the arena and the strength of the three major families right now. ”

Nina was suspicious, because since Monyan and Cisse had returned from the hunting area with a letter from the hunting area, Nina's mind had been full of questions, but before she could ask her father, she was dragged out by Monyan to go shopping.

Seeing that Meng Yang was bent on understanding the situation in the arena, she continued to introduce it.

In the arena, the winner will receive a certain number of points for each life-and-death fight they play, depending on the strength of the opposing team and the situation of the game, but the points in the lower divisions are not high.

For example, at the end of a battle between two high-level samurai, the winner can get up to five points, and if you skip a challenge, such as a high-level samurai against a warrior, you can get ten points if you win.

And the arena hardly sees the participation of junior and intermediate samurai, because everyone knows that the ring of the arena with such strength is purely looking for death, and there is nothing to see.

So far, there are ten people with the highest points in the low-level area, they are all samurai from the three ancient martial families, and according to the level of points, they are ranked in the fighting arena, which is the so-called top ten masters in the low-level area.

Among them, the first-ranked Lister is from the Iron Flower Family, is a warrior, and is one of the candidates for the Iron Flower Family to prepare to participate in the Battle of the Warriors. This person has won five hundred and thirty-three fights in the arena and has more than four thousand points.

The last of the top ten masters also has more than 1,300 points and is a high-level samurai.

Among the top ten masters, there are seven warriors and three high-level warriors, all of whom have learned the unpassed martial arts of the three ancient martial arts families. Perhaps out of the protection of their own warriors, they did not arrange a duel with each other.

The Arena stipulates that either the difference in points is within 500 points and you can challenge the top ten masters, or you need to submit a high guarantee to the Arena for skipping the level - ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 gold coins before you can challenge the designated top ten masters.

Ranked among the top ten masters, you can get hundreds of thousands of gold coins without participating every day, which is the benefit of the fighting arena. Of course, as long as whoever succeeds in the challenge will get the points that this master has, and even get an additional bonus of points in the arena.

The benefits of the arena are determined according to the number of points scored by the players.

And every time the challenge of skipping the level, it is generally the warrior selected by the boss of the out-of-town guest to challenge the top ten masters, and every time, the atmosphere of the arena will be boiled, and every time the gambling plate will attract countless people to participate in it.

Over the years, although the out-of-town owners have occasionally won victories, they will soon be wiped out by the new players of the three major families who have selected those who are among the top ten masters.

It can be said that the battles between the out-of-town bosses and several major families have become one of the biggest attractions in the arena.

Of course, the gambling capital and excitement in the high-level area are far higher than those in the low-level area. It's just that the low-level area is more suitable for ordinary people to participate.

Nina felt that it was useless to tell Meng Yang about the situation in the high-level area now, so she only introduced the low-level area, and Meng Yang said happily after hearing this: "Miss, I finally understand your distress. The twenty masters in the arena are almost all from the other three families, and none of your Qinghua family has one, so naturally there will be countless people talking about your Qinghua family behind your back, I understand the pressure you are under in your heart. Therefore, I have decided to earn a position as one of the top ten masters for the Qinghua family in the low-level area!"

Nina was speechless in surprise, but found that before she knew it, she had taken Meng Yang to the street of the armor shop.

"Miss, let's go, let's go sell something first, and then go to the arena to see the excitement. Meng Yang strode towards the door of the armor shop, Nina hadn't woken up from the shock, she didn't understand, what kind of psychology Meng Yang was in, and decided to go to the arena to compete, was it really to earn back some face for the Qinghua family?

Nina, who was following Meng Yang, was extremely entangled in her heart, she could see that Meng Yang was an extremely stubborn person, which was very similar to her own character, and she was brewing how to make Meng Yang dispel the idea of killing herself.

The armor shop in Mocheng has always been very prosperous, because it not only sells soul stones, various weapons, leather armor, and protective gear, but also sells horcruxes and soul armor, and buys all kinds of ores, medicines, and materials for making weapons and armor.

At the material collection office of the armor shop, Nina helped Meng Yang dispose of a large number of rare materials like a dream.

What fox skin, deer antlers, drill rats and the like, although these materials are not as precious as the flower snake letter and the black tiger heart, they are also very valuable.

Nina quickly calmed down and helped from the side, but the materials that Meng Yang took out were sold for 170,000 gold coins, the horror in Nina's heart was not a little bit, she finally knew that this time Meng Yang followed her father to a hunting area, there must have been many wonderful things happening, she can't wait to know everything now, but Meng Yang's calmness and indifference and the reminder in her eyes made her calm down.

The guys in the armor shop seem to have been used to seeing big scenes for a long time, and they haven't been too surprised from beginning to end.

Meng Yang secretly estimated that according to his current cultivation progress, he would consume about 2,000 catties of soul attraction stones a day, which was 20,000 jin when converted into gold coins, so he asked Nina to take him to buy 10,000 catties at one time.

Nina watched Meng Yang spend 100,000 gold coins without blinking an eyelid, and was secretly speechless.

If she knew that Meng Yang was going to consume these Soul Stones in five days, she didn't know what she would be surprised about.
