Chapter 122: City of Thorns
There were too many people in line, and the line was moving very slowly, Lu Yuan was secretly anxious, but there was no way.
This is the territory of the Half-Dragon, and he does not think that force will solve the problem.
Just when Lu Yuan was anxious, a quarrel broke out in front of him.
Lu Yuan looked over and saw two teams of half-dragon soldiers stretching out their halberds in unison, blocking the way, and opposite them were two human lords, with hundreds of soldiers.
"Why don't you let us in, we've all been in line for so long!"
"Brother, we are really in a hurry, please be accommodating."
Both human lords looked anxious.
But the half-dragon captain had no intention of listening to their explanation, "Human, this is Thorn City, you have too many troops, in order to prevent you from being spies who want to destroy the city, you must pay a deposit." ”
"Your asking price is too high, five hundred soul crystals per person, I am only a second- or third-order class, and the recruitment price is not so high!"
"That's right, your asking price is too high, the lord and the hero actually want 1,000 soul crystals, how can we afford it!"
The two human lords argued loudly.
"It's your problem, not mine, if you don't have the money, then leave, you're not welcome here!" The half-dragon captain gave a cold look at his spear and let out a dull sound.
The two human lords were still talking, but the half-dragon soldiers had already grabbed their weapons and were closing in on them, apparently trying to expel them outright.
The two human lords are anxious, looking at this posture, where can they agree.
Seeing that the two sides were about to make a move, a voice came.
"Wait!"
Lu Yuan slowly walked out of the crowd and stepped forward.
The two human lords suddenly showed happy expressions, while the half-dragon captain frowned.
"Humans, do you want to do it, this is the city of thorns, Lord Bartlett's territory, you should understand your situation!" The half-dragon captain's voice was cold.
"I don't have any intention of doing it, Your Excellency." Lu Yuan's voice was unhurried.
When the two human lords heard this, they immediately showed disappointed expressions.
And the captain of the half-dragon man said directly: "Then human, you go back to where you should be!" ”
Lu Yuan didn't flinch at all, his eyes looked directly at the other party, "I mean, I'm responsible for their expenses." ”
Then he turned to the team behind him, "In addition, if there are human lords who want to go to Wind Extinguishing Castle, they can go together, and all the expenses will be paid by me." ”
His voice fell, and the people in line suddenly resounded with a chatter.
Several human lords who were still in the team even fixed their eyes on him.
"Human, are you telling the truth?" The half-dragon captain's yellow vertical eyes stared at him intensely.
"Of course it's true." Lu Yuan directly took out a money bag, which swayed, and it was full of soul crystals.
Lu Yuan opened his pocket, and the sparkling gems inside suddenly dazzled the eyes of the half-dragon captain.
"Okay, I can let them in, as long as you pay enough security." The half-dragon captain's eyes were burning, but his hand was directly grasping the money bag.
But Lu Yuan took it back in advance, and then met the other party's eager and unkind gaze.
A sincere smile bloomed on Lu Yuan's face, "Wait, in order to avoid trouble for you, I think it's better for me to pay for those human lords, and you can save yourself trouble, how about it?" ”
"Of course, you're a great idea!" The half-dragon captain's voice was dry from excitement.
A rough calculation here, there are more than 700 soldiers, which is only three or four hundred thousand dollars, he has never seen such money in his life!
Leave a little bit of this money at will, it's enough for him to eat for a few years!
He was naturally excited, how could he refuse Lu Yuan's proposal?
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and process the registration for this adult!" The half-dragon captain immediately shouted, and then looked at Lu Yuan, his expression had changed one hundred and eighty degrees.
Some of the lords in the team witnessed so many soul crystals, and immediately stared at Lu Yuan with greedy eyes, if it weren't for the fact that this was Thorn City, the city of the half-dragon man Bartlett Blackclaw, I am afraid that they would have to do it directly.
"All right, any of you who want to go to the Wind Extinguishing Castle will be listed." Lu Yuan shouted.
Immediately, three human lords came out of the crowd, and the soldiers they brought with them also numbered about two hundred.
And then, the soldiers of the Peerless Cloud Collar also came out, and several heroes guarded Lu Yuan, blocking everyone's peeping eyes.
Seeing Lu Yuan's troops and heroes, the eyes of a large number of people immediately shrank.
These high-level troops at a glance, the heroic aura is even more powerful, and under the intentional stimulation, they are overwhelmed, making them instantly understand the gap between the two sides, and they dare not make up their minds again.
But some lords who consider themselves powerful, or who are carried away by money, are still ready to move.
"Thank you so much this time! My name is Deng Huan, and this is Zheng Gu. The lord standing next to him, with gratitude, introduced to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan waved his hand, "My name is Lu Yuan, everyone is for the human race, how can there be no thanks!" ”
"Haha, Brother Lu said this well, I Lou Junyuan wrote down this favor, after this time I cleaned up the alien race, I will invite you to drink!" The other three human lords also stepped forward, and the leader of them was a middle-aged man, dressed in a bachelor's robe, with a Sven face.
The half-dragon soldier received the captain's order, and quickly counted the number of people, as well as the soul crystals that should be paid.
A total of more than 360,000 soul crystals are needed.
Although Lu Yuan had promised to pay off the money for them, under their repeated requests, they still paid part of it themselves.
Lu Yuan spent about 280,000.
And Lu Yuan also knew the identities of several of them during the conversation.
Deng Huan and Zheng Gu are friends, both of them are lords who descended on the battlefield of all races last year, and they started on the side of the black swamp.
It's just been in the fringe area, mixed in general.
And Lou Junyuan has been on the battlefield of all races for five years, and his territory has been upgraded to the fourth level, but he has relied on trade to establish a cooperative relationship with the barbarian bulls in the ruins.
In addition, the two people who followed him were only second-level lords, and they were only taken care of by Lou Junyuan because of their human status.
Lu Yuan and a few people paid a deposit and were allowed to enter the city, but the captain of the half-dragon people still told them not to make trouble in the city, otherwise they would be chased and killed by the guards.
Lu Yuan and the others naturally agreed, their time was urgent, but they didn't have the leisure to delay in this kind of thing.
But what they didn't see was that immediately after they left, several people crowded in front of the half-dragon captain, whispered a few words, and handed over something.
The half-dragon captain waved his hand and let them in.
But when they entered, they scattered and quickly went to all parts of the city.
