Chapter 55: Chaoyang Town
Liuling City, as the political and economic center of Osan Province, is undoubtedly much larger than other cities. Naturally, Black Rock City can't be compared.
A huge mansion sits in the center of Liuling City, and from this area alone, it occupies at least a quarter of Liuling City's territory.
This mansion is where the true rulers of the province of Osan live, the Shumida family, and two majestic stone lions are erected on both sides of the mansion, which are vividly depicted.
When others saw this magnificent mansion, they all stretched out their thumbs in admiration.
At this time, the three men in black hurriedly walked to the door of the mansion, and just wanted to enter, but were stopped by the two guards guarding them: "I'm sorry, please show the token!"
"Token, blind your dog's eyes, don't you know who I am?" the man in black in the middle cursed angrily, and at the same time, despite the two guards' obstruction, he walked in directly.
The two brothers behind him also followed in angrily, and the two guards at the door were staring at each other, and they were a little at a loss.
"What's wrong with them?" asked the guard on the left quietly.
"The ghost knows, but looking at them like that, nine times out of ten, it's because the mission failed. Perhaps remembering the rude behavior of the three of them earlier, the guard on the right smiled mockingly, "It seems that they will definitely be punished by the adults this time." ”
After the three men in black entered, they immediately entered a dark room.
There was a person sitting in the dark room, and the seven-star great swordsman in the middle and the two brothers beside him glanced at each other, and quickly knelt on one knee: "Report to your lord, our mission has failed." ”
"Failed, could it be that the ban I prepared for you has failed?" the adult did not turn around, but smiled softly, which made the three of them feel a little hairy in their hearts.
The man in black in the middle was very ashamed and said: "There was a little accident, but the ban successfully restricted Haitian, but who would have thought that Haitian would have rare flying sword skills." Fleeing directly into the air, and the movement was too fast, when we used the Kabu net to try to chase him, who knew that the Kabu net suddenly failed. ”
"The Kabu net is also ineffective?" Hearing the answer of the man in black in the middle, the adult in the seat raised his eyebrows in surprise, and there seemed to be some surprise in his tone.
"Yes, we just threw it away, but Kabu Net slowly fell in mid-air as if it had completely lost its target, and it was only then that Haitian escaped from our pursuit. The man in black in the middle explained helplessly.
In this operation, they had three great swordsmen to deal with a six-star swordsman, which already made them unhappy. I thought that I would be able to take action nine times out of ten, but who would have thought that I would be easily escaped by the other party, and now I have to face punishment.
The adult in the seat did not speak again, but fell into deep thought.
The silence frightened the three great swordsmen even more frightened, fearing that the adults would punish them severely, and they all kept their mouths shut, praying in their hearts.
"The three of you should understand what the consequences of the failure of the mission are, go, go to the torture hall yourself, and each of you will break an arm!" the tone of the adult in the seat was very relaxed, without the slightest change.
"Break each of our arms?" Hearing this punishment, the three men in black immediately screamed.
"What, do you want to disobey my orders?" the adult in the seat frowned slightly, and his tone clearly expressed his displeasure, "Or do you think the punishment is too light?"
"No, no, we have no opinion!" The three men in black thought of the horror of the adults in front of them, and the only bit of anger in their hearts completely disappeared. The three of them gritted their teeth and glanced at each other: "Isn't it just an arm, Lao Tzu admits it!"
With that, the three of them walked out of the room briskly and closed the door.
The noisy darkness fell silent again, only the adult who was still sitting in the seat remained, and by the faint light, he could see that the adult narrowed his eyes slightly: "Haitian? ”
"Ahh
However, after only a moment of silence, Haitian raised his head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to do so much, it's better to hurry." ”
Chaoyang Town, a small town located in the southwest border of Blackstone City, has a permanent population of only one-tenth of that of Blackstone City. But the floating population of Chaoyang Town is much larger than that of Black Rock City.
On the edge of Chaoyang Town, across the Qipin Mountain Range. Within the scope of Chaoyang Town, there were many first- and second-order spirit beasts and many materials for refining weapons and medicines in the Qipin Mountain Range, which directly allowed many swordsmen to get wealth from nature.
More and more swordsmen came to Chaoyang Town, and they all wanted to make a comparison, which caused the floating population in Chaoyang Town to be much larger than that of Black Rock City.
Even though Haitian was mentally prepared, when he came to Chaoyang Town, he was still taken aback by the situation of people coming and going in front of him.
The streets were not wide, and on both sides they were crowded with vendors, shouting loudly about their goods, boasting that they were the best.
Sometimes in order to snatch customers, they even quarrel.
"Hey, little brother, as soon as you see it, you will know that the road is from out of town, come and see my shadow mouse skin, it is absolutely authentic, the price is low, I bet that it is definitely the cheapest in the entire Chaoyang Town." How about selling you thirty gold coins?" Haitian was strolling around when he was suddenly pulled to the side by a vendor.
"Thirty gold coins?" Haitian was taken aback, although he didn't have much concept of money, he also understood that ten gold coins were enough for an ordinary family of three to live for half a year, and these thirty gold coins were almost equal to a year and a half of other people's lives.
"Little brother, don't listen to him, the entire Chaoyang Town Shadow Mouse Skin is the most expensive he sells, thirty gold coins, and he is embarrassed to speak. Come and see mine, the quality, the hair, it's all extremely high, and it only costs twenty-nine gold coins. Just as Haitian was startled, another hawker also walked up.
"Why are you like this, and you're coming to steal my business again?" the vendor who grabbed Haitian first was not happy, "Your quality and hair are completely inferior to mine, not to mention that you are only one gold coin cheaper than me, what is there to shout?",
"Your Shadow Mouse Skin is of good quality? No kidding, who doesn't know that your Shadow Mouse Skin is the worst quality. The vendor who came from behind shouted very unconvincedly, and at the same time pulled Haitian and pointed to a piece of shadow mouse skin in the hand of the vendor in front of him and said, "Little brother, you see, this guy's shadow mouse skin has many black lines on it, and the quality is completely inferior to mine, you still come to buy mine." ”
"Fart! it's obviously my good!" Shi can bear it, who can't bear it, the vendor who first grabbed Haitian grabbed Haitian's right arm angrily, it seems that Haitian won't let Haitian go if he doesn't buy it.
Another peddler also grabbed Haitian's left arm very accurately, and shouted with an attitude that he would not let go: "What's the matter? Afraid of you? Your pile is garbage, and it can't be compared with mine at all!"
In an instant, the two hawkers quarreled, and Haitian couldn't cry or laugh, and moved a few times, only to find that the two hawkers had completely put him in the middle.
In desperation, Haitian used the Five Elements Escape Technique, disappeared directly between the two, and appeared in a secluded place, with a wry smile on his face, "This Chaoyang Town is really crazy." ”
Haitian only encountered the first case, and then he encountered several waves of such quarrels because of customer grabbing, and even a few waves of direct fights, seeing Haitian couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
But to his surprise, most of the vendors here were also official swordsmen, eighty percent of them were swordsmen, and occasionally a few swordsmen-level masters passed by, and the swordsmen on the way all looked at them with respect.
It seems that Chaoyang Town is really a veritable town of swordsmen.
However, Haitian is not here to buy things, but to inquire about news. In his previous life, although he only knew about the blind cultivation of the Dao, he also knew the Dao, and the best place to inquire about the news was the tavern.
After inquiring about the location of the tavern on the road, Haitian came to the periphery of the largest tavern in Chaoyang Town.
Although it is a tavern, it is just a few broken houses, and there are no doors and windows around, and guests come from all directions, which is very convenient.
Before Haitian could enter, he heard a commotion coming from inside the tavern.
Frowning slightly, Haitian walked straight in, and found an unmanned table and sat down. At this time, a person who looked like a little second walked over quickly, and to Haitian's surprise, this little second turned out to be a three-star swordsman.
Xiao Er asked smartly, "Guest officer, what do you need?"
"Bring me a pot of your most common bar here?" To be honest, Haitian is not very good at drinking, and he doesn't have much interest in drinking, but if he doesn't order a pot of wine, I'm afraid he will become an outlier here.
"Haole, a pot of nine brews, do you need anything?" Xiao Er shouted, then lowered his head and asked again.
Haitian shook his head: "No need. By the way, aren't you a three-star swordsman?
"Guest officer, are you from outside?" Xiao Er couldn't help but show a wry smile when he heard Haitian's question.
Haitian nodded silently, and Xiao Er continued: "Guest officer, you don't know what to do, the competition here is very fierce, most of the swordsmen will choose to join the mercenary group here, and a small number of idle swordsmen like me don't want to join those powerful forces, but in order to survive, they have to work here to make money." ”
"Then won't you enter the Qipin Mountain Range to hunt down some first-order spirit beasts, isn't it impossible with your strength?" Haitian couldn't understand it.
"How can it be so easy? Chaoyang Town has entered the Qipin Mountain Range within a radius of ten kilometers, and it has been divided up by those mercenary groups, and idle swordsmen like us, even if they enter to hunt and kill first-order spirit beasts, they will have to pay high taxes. After a trip, not only did I not make any money, but I also had to put money inside. If you want to find a territory that has no power, unless you have to go inside a little further, but it is already far away from Chaoyang Town, and it is easy to encounter a third-order spirit beast, with our strength, it is simply going up to die. ”
It was the first time that Haitian knew that the swordsman of this stratum had lived such a hard life.
Just as he was about to inquire about his family's situation, suddenly a high-pitched and sharp cry suddenly came, and many swordsmen in the tavern, all with solemn faces, stood up and walked outside.
"What's going on?"
