Chapter 7: The temple demon is windy
After entering Kawa City, Wu Neng finally saw the whole picture of this national royal city of Rainforest Continent.
The area of the city is not large, which Wu Neng had discovered as early as when he was outside the city, and the whole city was full of low huts with only one or two floors.
Except for one building.
In the very center of Kawa City, there is a five-story brick and stone building, which has been built like a walled fortress and looks impregnable.
The exterior of the high-rise building is rich in opulent decorations, and there is a flowerbed on a bluestone platform on the third floor, which feels like something that shouldn't be here compared to the surrounding houses that are stronger than small fishing villages.
Wu Neng was a little staggered, he had seen a lot of big cities in Wu and Western Desert Kingdom, but he rarely saw such extravagant decorations.
Just as Wu Neng was sighing, a cry of regret suddenly sounded next to the clearing not far in front of him.
"Kick it! What to hesitate about there! ”
"Shovel him! Shovel him! ”
"Damn! Such a great opportunity! ”
Wu Neng couldn't help but look there, and prompted by curiosity, he stepped forward and walked towards the crowd gathered outside the clearing.
After finally squeezing into the crowd, Wu Neng finally saw the scene in the clearing.
There was actually a Keju match going on in the field, and a large iron ring with a net bag was placed on the east and west sides of the field, and twenty-four people were divided into blue and white teams in the field, chasing a dusty ball.
There are two sheds on the north side of the field, and under the sheds sit the coaches and substitutes of the two teams, the coaches in blue look angry, and the white-clad coaches are as steady as Tarzan. A short distance behind the shed lay several stretchers on the ground, on which lay seven players holding their legs and moaning.
Wu Neng's interest was hooked up all of a sudden, he actually liked to watch these confrontational sports, if it weren't for the fact that his schedule in the Western Desert Country was too intense, he would definitely go to the Keju Field in the city to take a stroll.
The whites were being crushed in their own half, but they had managed to defuse a crisis and regain control of the ball at their feet.
A precise long pass from the backfield, the two white players waiting in the midfield immediately stuck their positions, a taller white player jumped up and pushed the ball to the feet of his teammates, and the other white team player with flexible legs and feet received the ball and shook off the blue team player who was marking him, followed by a happy one-handed knife to the meeting.
After a short run, the white team, who had a straight knife and a Yamahara-style number seven embroidered on his shirt with black thread, picked the ball up in the face of the attacking goalkeeper, and the ball flew high above the goalkeeper.
With a muffled sound, the ball fell into the net pocket behind the hoop, and the players of the white team hugged each other and cried with joy; The members of the blue team knelt on the ground one by one and cried bitterly, as if the end was coming.
Wu Neng was a little confused in his heart, although the joy and loss after winning or losing are very common things, but they can't be so exaggerated, right?
The onlookers also began to clamour, some of them applauded, and others cursed.
"Made! Rabe, this bastard, didn't he say that he got a lot of good goods from the tribes in the west, and he ended up playing like this, and he was actually kicked 2 to 0 by the Weaving Lane team, which blinded Lao Tzu's bet! ”
"If you want me to say, it's better to find someone from those villages in the south to come and kick it, don't always stare at those poor ghosts in the west, the thin ones are only bones, and they don't have any strength."
"Don't forget, Lord Bachelor has several wives who have been married from those tribes in the villages to the south, which Keju guild would dare to attack the idea of those villages?"
"Alas, that's it, I see that the Big Tree Lane team is in a slump, and the villages in the north have been divided up by other big guilds, so there is no room for him to intervene, and I can only continue to use the poor ghosts caught from the west in the future."
"Kewen is the most unlucky one, he used to be able to take the kingdom team to play against neighboring countries, since he joined the Big Tree Lane team, he has really lost eight games in a row, he was fined eight times, and he is estimated to be bankrupt the last time, and the bachelor is more and more unkind to see him."
Just then, a soldier on patrol passed by and heard the last words come out of his mouth.
He raised the wooden stick in his hand and smashed it at the man, scolding arrogantly as he smashed, "What did you say? What do you call that adult? You repeat? ”
The unlucky guy was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and while crying for his father and mother, he begged for mercy: "It's a small mistake, I ...... I'll repeat it, and I'll ...... again It is estimated that the family will be bankrupt again, and His Excellency the Divine Egan Yongwu, the greatest miracle in the world, the head of all the Keju teams in Kawa, the king of kings in the Rainforest Continent, the founder of the Kawa Kingdom, the high priest under the command of the Holy Venerable, and the permanent supreme honor of Kawa Academy, His Excellency Sacred Egan Yongwu, is also more and more unwilling to see him. ”
"What about the owners of all the land? Eaten by you?! ”
"It's hurting me, please stop fighting, I'll say it again......"
Just as Keju was bustling on the sidelines, a group of soldiers suddenly walked into the arena and detained the blue team members who were crying and mourning, and gathered them together like chickens.
After doing all this, the leading officer respectfully looked at the gorgeous high-rise building in the north, Wu Neng followed his eyes, only to find that a glass window on the fifth floor of the high-rise building was actually open at the moment, and there were many people behind the window, obviously someone was watching the movement on this Keju field from there.
Moments later, three Kawahara porcelain cups from the Union Khanate were thrown out of the window and shattered into pieces next to the flower bed.
The officer bowed his head respectfully, then turned around and shouted to the pale-faced players in front of him: "You played badly! Unexpectedly, the greatest miracle in the world, the head of all the Keju teams of Kawa, the king of kings in the Rainforest Continent, the founder of the Kawa country, the owner of all lands, the high priest under the command of the Holy Venerable, and the eternal supreme honor of Kawa Academy, His Excellency Sacred Egan Yongwu, dropped three cups! Come on, bring up the lottery box, this time there will be three white and nine black inside! ”
A soldier with a wooden box in his hand turned around and adjusted the wooden sticks with his back to the players, and after doing all this, he turned around, shook the box in his hand, and delivered it to the players.
Under the coercion of knives and guns, the weeping players lined up and trembled through the lottery box, took turns to draw out the wooden sticks inside, and the players who drew out the white wooden sticks let out a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground as if they had been amnestied; The team members who drew the black wooden sticks collapsed on the spot, and were dragged by the soldiers to the prisoner cart on the sidelines in the crying and screaming, all the way to the west.
After all this was over, the people inside and outside the Keju arena soon dispersed, leaving only Wu Neng, who had his eyes wide open, alone in the wind.
It took him a long time to suppress the anger in his heart. Wu Neng's heart was very unfair for those players, and he felt incomprehensible about the practices of these soldiers, but now he was a bare-bones marshal, and he had no choice but to force himself to hold down the grievances in his heart.
"Forget it, let's go and inquire where the market in the city is." He sighed and left Kemari.
It was relatively easy to inquire about the name of a place in a small city, and soon, Wu Neng asked from a local person about the location of the bazaar.
The market area is located in the northeastern part of Kawa City, and Wu Neng walked briskly to the northeast for less than three quarters of an hour before he saw a number of simple buildings with shop signs hanging at the doors.
After Wu Neng briefly walked around, he picked the most magnificent shop, the door of the shop was newly painted, and the sign hanging at the gate was written in Chu Ze and official language.
In addition to the grandeur of the appearance, another important reason why this shop can attract Wu Neng's attention is the bundles of goods piled up inside the door of the shop.
"Good guy, what is the background of this shop, there are so many things in it, it is really a world compared to the shops around that are so shabby that they are almost pants, and there are quite a lot of kinds of goods, including preserved fruits, silk, cloth, sugar cubes, herbs, jerky, and wood...... Well...... Although the quality of these woods is not particularly good, it can still be used to make some simple structures and materials, and those medicinal materials may be able to be used in old stones. ”
After making up his mind, Wu Neng stepped into the door and said hello to the guy who was sorting out the account books at the counter not far away.
The guy raised his head, and after seeing Wu Neng, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and asked, "Childe looked at Miansheng, is it a newly hired guy from the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, the goods on our side are ready, just waiting for your people to pick up the goods." ”
"Why do you think I'm a member of the Fruit Tree Chamber of Commerce?" Wu Neng muttered strangely, then smiled and waved his hand and said: "You recognize the wrong person, I am not from the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, I am an explorer, and I happened to pass through your country during the journey, so I came here to replenish some supplies." ”
"Uh...... So, you're alone? Whatever you want, pick and choose. ”
"Okay, thank you." Wu Neng thanked him and walked towards the place where the wood was stacked.
"Eh, ......" The guy saw Wu Neng walking towards the wood, and hurriedly ran over to stop him, "Childe, the goods here are all booked by other chambers of commerce, if you want to buy something, please go over there." As he spoke, he gestured to the northeast shelf.
"Huh? These are? Wu Neng was dumbfounded, he looked at the mountains of goods around him, and then at the two or three kittens on the shelves, "Is there any difference between your shelves and empty ones?" ”
"Isn't it different, isn't there some flint and steel on it? It's definitely useful for explorers like you. ”
Just when Wu Neng and his buddies were theorizing, a crisp slap suddenly came from the upstairs of the store, followed by an angry roar, "I don't care if those poor ghosts in the west have made a big mess recently, you have to get me back the goods parked on the road now, don't you go quickly!" ”
A guy covered his face and stumbled down the stairs.
The guy who entertained Wu Neng hurriedly greeted him and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you okay?" ”
The guy who covered his face had an expression of anger and didn't dare to speak, and replied softly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm bad luck today for grandpa." Danone, you can go with me to the North Lane first, and help me borrow a few from your brother-in-law, I have to hurry on my way. You don't know, there's been chaos in the west recently, and there are few skilled companions on the road, so I don't dare to go that way. ”
"Okay, okay." The guy who entertained Wu Neng nodded hurriedly, and then he looked at Wu Neng with hesitant eyes, "There is still a guest here." ”
"This little brother, you should go to another house first." The guy couldn't help but push Wu Neng out of the store directly, and then he pulled the other guy and ran away, "Let's go and go back quickly." ”
"Hey...... Hey......" Wu Neng stretched out his hand and looked at the direction where the backs of the two disappeared, "This ...... How can there be such a business? ”
