Chapter 123: Engagement

The Cobra is very fast and capable of moving directly on the water.

Searching down the water, it didn't take long for Britz's team to come across a small village.

He asked the convoy to stop at a distance, and he took two people himself, dressed in modest clothes, and walked into the village on foot.

There are only seven or eight low-rise houses in this village, which is not even as good as Lingqi Village.

Seeing the stranger enter, the villagers were alerted, and two young men stood guard at the crossing and asked, "Who are you and where are you from?" ”

Britz spread his hands and said, "We are members of the 'Journey to the Dead', from the 'Divine Resthouse' east of Hoblens, are you Gaians?" ”

The man looked at them and said, "Hobruns, I know, I haven't heard of 'Divine Sleeper' or 'Journey to the Underworld'. ”

"That's right, we're Gaia, and this is Aoshan Village, do you have anything to do?"

Without saying a word, Britz took out a thumb-sized permafrost stone and threw it over.

"We're going to your Gaian city, please show us the way."

Seeing the permafrost stone, the man's eyes were almost straight.

The Permafrost Stone is a treasure in the hearts of all Gaia people, who believe in the Ice God Cult and regard the Permafrost Stone as the heart of the Ice God, so the Permafrost Stone can almost be regarded as the hard currency on the Gaia side.

The man took the permafrost, and the skin of the finger was frozen and did not let go.

He pointed to the east and said: "Go down the Lishui River, go to Qishan Town, and then follow the main road to the east, and you can reach Jizhou City." ”

"Jizhou City is the capital of our Jizhou, with more than 100,000 residents, and you will definitely be able to find what you are looking for there."

"Jizhou City ......" Britz remembered the name, he nodded and said, "Thank you, friend." ”

After saying that, he didn't look back, and left with his subordinates.

On the way back, his subordinate whispered, "Boss, do you feel that there seems to be something wrong with those two people?" ”

Britz replied, "I also feel a little awkward, I don't know why, maybe the race is a little different from the Hoblens we know, right?" ”

Another of his men said, "I can see that one of them is a woman. ”

Britz was stunned: "Which one are you talking about?" He didn't even see it.

The subordinate said, "I can't say for sure, it could be the one on the left or the one on the right, but at least one of the two is a woman anyway." ”

Britz patted his head: "What do you kid think?" I can't speak smoothly, which one is which, how come there is at least one, your brain is confused? ”

The subordinate shook his head and said, "I don't know why, anyway, I just feel this way, boss, don't you notice?" ”

The last exploration of the Northern Continent, Britz did not participate, so this was also the first time he encountered the Gaians.

"The end of the tea said that the Gaia people are all dressed in fancy clothes and wear masks on their faces, which don't seem to match the image of these people, are they really Gaians?"

……

The "Cobra" convoy followed the route given by the man and soon came to Qishan Town.

Through the telescope, Britz finally saw the "Gaians" encountered by the expedition.

Qishan Town has almost thousands of residents, and the streets are bustling with people, and among the many ordinary people who are plainly dressed, there are occasionally one or two people dressed in fancy clothes and masks.

"It seems that the person wearing the mask should be the one with more status and status among the Gaia people, you see, wherever these people go, others will take the initiative to give way." Britz said, pointing to the screen.

The subordinate pointed to the person on the screen and said, "Boss, don't you think these people are weird?" ”

"I always feel ......" the subordinate said after a long time of deliberation on the choice of words, "these people seem to be a bit unmasculine and unfeminine." ”

Britz carefully looked at the residents of Qishan Town on the screen, and indeed as his subordinates said, these people did not seem to have obvious sexual characteristics.

They seem to be men, and there seems to be some feminine element.

Especially those who wear face masks, after their faces are covered, they are even more difficult to distinguish between men and women.

Britz thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they're Gaians a little special?" Don't forget, we didn't know that man could reproduce naturally before we came to earth. ”

Britz was right, in the Underworld, everyone was born in a rookie manufacturing factory, so even if the Gaia were all hermaphrodites, it wasn't hard to accept.

Their mission this time is to find ilmenite, and this kind of information usually has to be found out by the local government department.

"This Qishan town looks quite lively, in this way, you guys are guarding in the car, and I'll ask alone, it won't take much time anyway." Britz grabbed a handful of permafrost and stuffed it into his pocket, ready to set off alone.

The subordinate asked, "Boss, it's too risky for you to go alone, let's go with you." ”

Britz waved his hand: "None of you are combat-type capable people, and following me will get in the way, but don't be too relaxed, there must always be someone at the post, don't be taken to the old nest and still laugh there." ”

Qishan Town doesn't seem to be a battleground for soldiers, there is not even a city wall here, and naturally there is no city gate, the town can enter and exit whenever you want, and it is very free.

Britz was dressed like a normal resident, he blended in with the crowd and was a local if he didn't look at his face.

In the center of town, Britz found the town hall in Qishan Town, where some guards could finally be seen, holding spears more like honor guards, guarding the door of the town hall.

Seeing Britz approaching, one of the guards noticed him and said, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Britz bowed to him, "Excuse me, I'm a merchant from Hobruns, and the purpose of this trip is to conduct some special trade, who should I contact?" ”

The guard looked at him, as if to tell if he was telling if he was telling if he was telling the truth.

"Hobrunsians? What kind of trade do you do? The guard basically believed him and continued to ask.

Britz took out a bag of permafrost very extravagantly: "We bought a lot of permafrost from Hobruns, and we heard that the sales here are very good, so we want to exchange them for some special supplies. ”

Seeing the bag full of permafrost stones, the guard almost didn't straighten his tongue, and he asked in surprise, "How many permafrost stones did you bring?" ”

Britz shrugged: "It's not convenient for me to disclose the amount, but I believe your superiors will like it very much, can you help me introduce it?" ”
