Chapter XV: New Mandates
Brandy didn't worry that he would see through it, after all, the breath and identity of this head were genuine, even if it was discerned with the strictest occult knowledge.
Could it be that there is another person in this world who is exactly the same? Hehe...... How is this possible.
"It's amazing how you really did."
"I've had a great deal of effort," said Brandy, smiling, "and of course it would have been with the help of two companions. ”
Xungusi's gaze quietly swept over Zhou Xinyi and Jiang Yi's faces.
"I'll send someone to give you the reward this time."
"You have surprised me, Brandy, and therefore I have another greater thing to ask of you."
Brandy said, "But it doesn't hurt to say that." ”
Zengus leaned back in his chair, very solemnly, without the slightest joke:
"I want you to send an official to the gods on another tower."
There has been an intriguing question in modern times: If a priest dies, is he promoted or left his job?
If you are in Jizhou City, the people here will definitely give you a precise answer.
The death of the priest who lived in the lower zone was an unfortunate disaster.
The priest who lives in the tower is dead, so he must have been summoned by the gods!
Xungus also seemed to be in a state of deep ideological poison, and said in a high-sounding voice, "We always have to give a little help to the noble-willed, don't we?" ”
Brandy smiled, "Excuse me, which official do you want to get such a 'chance'?" ”
"Just choose the tallest person we live here."
Xun Gusto chin stricken, as if he was thinking about others, "Young Master Ji An, hasn't he always been obsessed with the greatness of the gods?" ”
Brandy replied solemnly, "I will definitely give you a satisfactory result." ”
Living in the tower is not only a status symbol, but also a constraint and supervision.
In the minds of the inhabitants of Jizhou City, the closer the people who live higher to the eyes of the gods, and their behavior will always be supervised by the gods until they are chosen by the gods.
Therefore, these highly respected people will pay special attention to their behavior when they are in the tower, appearing decent and connotative, and even their language is full of gentleness.
This is also the reason why Zengus used euphemisms in his own home, and the people here are used to being introverted in language.
But his intentions are already obvious.
Killed Young Master Ji An, and disguised himself as summoned by the gods.
After leaving the tower of the Zengus officials, Zhou Xinyi also learned about the local situation from various angles.
To his surprise, even the names of these officials and the city lord of Jizhou City were partially recorded in his notes.
This speaks volumes about the adequacy of the note's intelligence of the era, as well as the excellence of these officials.
On the street, Jiang Yi looked at an iron shop with novelty, "Zhou Xinyi, you see, the crossbows of the Yi clan are also sold here." ”
Zhou Xinyi looked over in surprise, "It's really true." ”
Over the years, the Yi people have not only been incognito, they have assumed the name of the Ou tribe, and transported special crossbows to the city to sell them for profit.
It's also a shame that the people on the island have not discovered for so many years that there is another group of residents under the island where they live...... Zhou Xin thought that this was probably the effect of the patriarch Luo Kun helping to cover up.
But such a pseudonym can only deceive the common people, not the officials who hold great power, and their existence is also exposed in the eyes of officials.
"Mr. Zhou, let's settle in this hotel first."
Brandy chose a small hotel that is more remote, but not badly configured.
In addition to human cities, the strange lands of this era are full of crises, as long as they are not tired of living, few human residents travel freely to various places, and Jizhou City is not open to wanderers, and it is difficult for hotels that simply use residence as a means of business to return to their roots.
Therefore, in addition to receiving some of the caravans, these inns will take care of the daily purchase and sale of meals, as well as some moving and bankruptcy temporary accommodation services.
Because of this phenomenon, when the proprietress at the door saw three handsome men and beautiful women living in the hotel, she showed a particularly surprised expression.
Zhou Xinyi said without blushing and heartbeat, "We are travelers, and we are going to stay in Jizhou City for a while. ”
"Travel?! Oh my God, are you crazy? Listen to my advice, please don't go out of the city, no one will want to travel, just like no one wants to be a wanderer! ”
Zhou Xinyi said, "I'm a judge, I'm going out...... In fact, it is a professional demand. ”
Hearing this, the proprietress took her eyes off Zhou Xinyi and Brandy's faces, and re-looked at Zhou Xinyi's temperament.
"I mean, it's all my rudeness, Your Honor, judges are a dangerous profession these days......" she chuckled dryly.
"Since I'm a judge, I won't charge for the room......"
"No, at the normal price."
The proprietress immediately smiled, "You are really a generous adult, I will set aside the cleanest room for the three of you, three rooms...... Fifty-four quinquets a day. ”
Zhou Xinyi had no change, so he had to take out a coin.
The proprietress was startled and took it carefully, "Ah, please wait, sir, I'll get you some change......"
At this time, Zhou Xinyi suddenly remembered.
He had read in his notes that almost all the humans in this civilization used the same set of currency.
The lowest level of currency is Sanlang, which is used for the purchase of the most fragmentary goods, and a Sanlang can only buy a few ordinary sugars, and ten Sanlang is equivalent to one Kunlang, which is the most commonly used coin in this era, with a Kunlang, ten Kunlang, fifty Kunlang, five hundred Kunlang, and one thousand Kunlang.
At the top, every 5,000 quintal banknotes can be exchanged for a coin half a centimeter thick and three centimeters wide, called Lang coin, which is mostly used for the rich to show off their wealth and collect.
There are a total of fourteen such coins in the money bag handed over to him by the Yi clan, which is to hand over the whole village belongings to him......
It's much easier to lose one Lang than to lose five 1,000-dollar Kunlang, and because you're a judge, you don't have to worry about being stolen on the street.
In other words, you can pay 54 yuan with something worth 5,000 yuan...... Zhou Xinyi himself was numb.
The knowledge level of the proprietress is not high, and it is the first time she has seen this kind of denomination currency, and she counted until her scalp was numb, so she handed over four thousand nine hundred and forty-six Kunlang to Zhou Xinyi.
After the proprietress handed over the keys to each other, Brandy and Jiang Yi did not return to their rooms as soon as possible, but gathered together at Zhou Xinyi.
Zhou Xinyi sat on the bed and sighed, "After so many years, it's the first time I've experienced the taste of showing off my wealth. ”
"There's another thing to show off," Jiang Yi sat down on the table, "Your inheritance crystal, don't you take it out and take a look?" ”
Zhou Xinyi generously placed a total of four inheritance crystals on the table.
He wasn't worried that the brandy would be stolen, and people like him shouldn't care about such petty profits.
"You asked me about the use of the inheritance spar, but unfortunately I didn't have time to tell you at the time."
Jiang Yi said, "The hedron is the most important currency of the inheritor, and its usage is simple and crude, that is, choose to strengthen the spirit on your weapon, or strengthen the ability of your inheritance. ”
"Either way, it will bring you one step closer to your ancestors."
"However, there is also the most special use," Jiang Yi's tone sank, "Smash it, the inheritor you killed in the first place will be revived for a short time, it will inherit some of its original memories and all of its personality, and unconditionally become your most loyal comrade-in-arms until the end of this light curtain." ”
"This is also the reason why some inheritors spend a lot of money to ask for their partners' inheritance crystals back."
"If my partner leaves, this will be the only chance to see them for the last time."
Zhou Xinyi saw that Jiang Yi was not joking, so he nodded solemnly and said, "I understand." ”
After talking about the issue of inheriting the spar, the current top priority is that they were entrusted with the assassination of Young Master Ji An.
Speaking of this character, it's a little funny.
In order to compete for the position of the next city lord, Young Master Ji An, who has no advantage in all aspects, wants to start with the hearts of the people first.
In Jizhou City, the most important thing to win the hearts of the people is the distance from the gods, he can't compare with the dead, but can't he compare with the living?
So Young Master Ji An made a decision and directly bought the tallest tower in Jizhou City.
I didn't think about it at all, there are so many rich and powerful officials, why hasn't that tower been bought for so many years......
Young Master Ji An's plan did achieve a preliminary victory, and the people were often blind, and after hearing that Young Master Ji An had become the closest person to the gods' sight, the people's hearts gradually turned to his side.
But you see, isn't retribution coming?
Young Master Ji An must not know what a tree is called, the high place is not cold, the higher he lives, the faster it cools.
After his death this time, the residents of Jizhou City not only did not feel sad, but also shouted for this young master who won the hearts of the people - he is finally dead! Then he is one step closer to the gods!
Of course, if the people think like this, it doesn't mean that the gatekeeper of the tower will open the gate for him, nor does it mean that Young Master Ji An will kneel in front of him and want to ask him to send him to see the gods.
Not only that, but Young Master Ji An himself will be more crisis-conscious, more obscene, and more life-saving.
Entering the tower would require a well-thought-out plan.
Zhou Xinyi glanced at the brandy, thinking about whether he wanted to take out the cards.
He didn't dare to trust this "teammate" at all, no, he was sure that once there was a conflict of interest between the two parties, he could stab himself in the waist without any psychological burden.
But...... Now that they are in the same boat, it will be too much to hide it, but it will have an impact on the "teamwork" that follows.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xin Yi finally took out the "gifts" given to him by the Yi clan, the three badges representing glory and power.
