CHAPTER XXIV

The population of just one northern region exceeds the total population of the earth, so how big is the continent? How big is this planet I'm on?

On that day, I swore and promised Beitang Spring that I would become famous in the world within five years. Now that I think about it, in five years, it is a question whether I can get out of Heilong County. Will Beitang think that I have been soaking in the lake for too long and my head is in the water? Will she take me for an idiot?

Oh my God, what the hell is this place?

Just when Xia lost her mind, Ren Chuchu restrained her horse, she looked into the distance and said to Xia Liu,

"Little San, we're here."

Xia Liu came to his senses, looked up, I was obedient, a majestic city, five miles away from Sanyuan City, you can feel the breath of the city through Changhong.

Forgetting the previous troubles, Xia Liu and Ren Chuchu rode side by side, went down the long slope, and went straight to Sanyuan City.

The closer you get, the more frightening you become, the whole city is majestic and powerful, and the scale is grand. The huge city wall, the front wall stretches for more than ten miles, 15 meters high, 20 meters wide at the top, and the walls are covered with blue bricks.

There are corner towers at the four corners of the city wall, there are twelve city gates, there is a main city gate and two side gates on each side, and there is a female wall outside the city wall as a fortification, and there is a moat under the city wall, which is impregnable.

"What! Do you still have to pay an entrance fee? ”

If you want to enter the city, you need to pay a city entrance fee of five silver coins per person first, and even the wind spirit horse riding has to pay a silver coin entry fee, Xia Liu and Ren Chuchu combined, and paid twelve silver coins before they were allowed to enter the city, of course, it was Miss Ren who paid the money.

The little third son has saved up for so many years, and the three hundred copper plates he has accumulated are not even qualified to enter Sanyuan City, so even if he wants to go to the city to ask for food, he has to pay five hundred copper plates to buy a pass first.

Not only do you need to pay five silver coins to enter the city, but you also have to pay five silver coins to get out of the city. Xia Liu finally knew how the tax came from, such a large city, the average daily flow of people had to be less than 100,000, one person in and out of ten silver coins, there would be millions of silver coins in taxes, the taverns, shops and other trading places in the city, how much tax had to be paid in a day, this was simply a huge profit.

"It doesn't seem to be the ironclad sergeant you said was guarding the door."

The people who guarded the city and collected gold in Xia Liu were all wearing cloth armor, and the realm was also uneven, some were at the first or second level of the Qi Refining Realm, and some were just sturdy ordinary people, not monks.

"In these main cities, there are not only two thousand ironclad troops, but also many garrisons gathered nearby, most of these people are ordinary mortals, or low-level qi refining cultivators who have been abandoned by the mercenary group to garrison the legion to make a living."

After listening to Ren Chuchu's explanation, Xia Liu nodded, such a large city, two thousand armor soldiers would definitely not be able to take care of it.

"There are about 20,000 garrison sergeants in this Sanyuan City, and these people are not as feared as ironclad sergeants. Strictly speaking, they belong only to the local armed forces and are not included in the ranks of the regular army, so it is not uncommon for the garrison to be beaten. ”

"Beaten? Who is so bold as to dare to beat the people of the military. ”

"Didn't I say it, for the ironclad sergeant, ordinary monks would not dare to provoke. However, there are often firefights in the city, and the garrison looking for the street needs to maintain law and order, and if they encounter a bad-tempered lord, they may be killed by a slap in the face. ”

"The handling of this kind of incident can be large or small. Because it is to do things with money, it does not mean that if the garrison is killed, the city lord's mansion will make a big move. Before joining the garrison, they sign a life and death agreement, and if a garrison soldier has an accident during his mission, his family can receive a pension. ”

"However, if you maliciously attack the garrison, it will be regarded as a provocation to the majesty of the city lord's mansion, or if a major incident occurs and the garrison cannot handle it, the ironclad army will be dispatched. At this time, if the gangsters still want to commit murder, then they regard the City Lord's Mansion as an enemy, and if they kill the Iron Armor Army, the three Yuan Infant Realm worshippers will take action. ”

Xia Liu pouted, and human life was also divided into high and low.

After entering the city, Ren Chuchu became extremely happy, and it was the first time she came to a big city, which was many times more magnificent than Qingcheng.

Xia Liu was also full of emotion, the scene in front of him was very similar to the description in "A Fang Gong Fu", five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, the corridor waist and back, the eaves and teeth were pecked, each hugging the terrain, intriguing.

It's not yet an hour, there is still an hour and a half before the auction starts, Ren Chuchu is a woman after all, and when she comes to a big city, she naturally wants to go shopping in the commercial street, which is almost every girl's talent.

It just so happened that Xia Liu also wanted to buy a black robe to disguise himself, so that he could go to the auction venue and hand over the items he needed to auction, the soul wolf fang.

The street was five zhang wide and could accommodate three horse-drawn carriages side by side.

First of all, he and Ren Chuchu came to a blacksmith shop and inquired about how many silver coins the fangs of the four-rank demon beast were worth.

The uncle who struck iron had a bold personality, and he didn't make fun of Xia Liu because he was a child, although Xia Liu was wearing a cloth shirt, but the little girl who followed him had an extraordinary temperament, and she must be a young lady from a small family.

Uncle Blacksmith said that he wasn't quite sure about the value of the monster fangs, as he was only a mortal artifact forger, and he suggested that Xia Liu go to a nearby workshop to inquire.

After sincerely thanking them, Xia Liu and Ren Chuchu came to a magic weapon casting workshop called "Crazy Iron" according to the guidance.

It is worthy of being a magic workshop, and the scale is more than ten times larger than the uncle's blacksmith shop. Far away, I heard the sound of striking iron, and a group of shirtless men were working wrought iron.

Xia Liu asked Ren Chuchu to wait for him in a nearby teahouse, after all, she was still a big girl with yellow flowers, and Xia Liu didn't want her to go to the kind of occasions that men went to in the past.

Xia Liu greeted politely,

"Hello, may I ask if there are four grade magic weapons for sale here?"

Although the voice was not loud, it really reached the ears of every wrought iron man, and the big men stopped what they were doing, first stunned, and then looked at the source of the sound together, and found that it was just a hairy boy, and everyone looked at each other and laughed.

A strong man in the lead said to Xia Liu: "Little brother, stay away from the stove, this is not the place for you to joke." ”

Xia Liu didn't mind, he glanced at the workshop, most of these big men were monks of the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, and a few of them were in the second layer of the realm.

So he walked straight into the workshop, and before the strong man wanted to speak again, he picked up a hundred-pound hammer with one hand, and in a state of dumbfounded state,

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

Every time a hammer falls, everyone's hearts follow with a bang.

The third layer of the Qi Refining Realm!

Being so young is a third-level cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm.

"Disciples of the Lower Flowing Water Sect, come and visit your master."

The strong man who spoke before swallowed his saliva, his tone became much more respectful, and he made a slight gesture of "please".

"My father is in the back hall, please come with me."

The owner of the Crazy Iron Workshop was a first-class refiner, and after half a pillar of incense, Xia Liu learned the news he wanted, and then took his leave and left.

Xia Liu spent all the copper plates on his body and bought a loose black robe and an ordinary hat. He also listened to the advice of the underworld, bought a sandalwood brocade box, and put the soul fangs in it.

After instructing Ren Chuchu, Xia Liu went to the medium-sized auction hall in Sanyuan City, Toshiba Hall, alone.
