Chapter 624: Big News
On a sunny winter afternoon, the Los Angeles branch was particularly deserted, and there were few people in the square, and even there were only three or five apprentices in the identification tower.
Walking in the square, Duan Lie has been looking for Nadine's traces, and after looking for about half an hour, not only Nadine has not been found, but even Bills and Zach are gone.
The current Los Angeles branch is equivalent to the temporary residence of the mercenary group, most of the members of the mercenary group are busy building a new mercenary group station, and many people are needed to prepare for these things, and the location of the mercenary group has not yet been determined, so it is rare to see the person in charge of these things.
After looking around in the branch and not seeing Nadine's shadow, Duan Lie returned to the Tower Appraisal Studio, found Yan Mo, and learned that Nadine went out early in the morning, and took Bill and Zach and did not come back so far, Duan Lie began to wonder.
What was it that brought these three guys out together?
Out of boredom, Duan Lie decided to go out for a walk, and when he left the Los Branch, he unconsciously came to the slums in the northern outer city.
Good fellow, from afar, he saw old Ward with a few young and strong young men carrying grain, barley and wheat carts and carts, old Ward was busy sweating profusely, and there was a huge box next to it, which was full of bright gold coins, and the people who flashed were blind.
Many of the young men in the slums were working hard to carry them, and although the winter sun was not blazing, and the climate was still a little cold, they were all dripping with thick beads of sweat, and most of the coarse cloth clothes were soaked, and even if they were tired, they were very happy to show their smiling faces.
Not to mention Old Ward, his face was like a blooming bauhinia, and he couldn't close his smile from ear to ear.
"Uncle Ward, are you busy?"
Anyway, he couldn't find Nadine, so Duan Lie walked over with a smile.
Hearing Duan Lie's voice, Old Ward hurriedly turned his head around, and then trotted over as if he saw a relative, and when he got closer, Old Ward quickly grabbed Duan Lie's hand, and said in a tone of great gratitude and emotion: "President Duan Lie, I have to thank you for the big guy, the advice you gave me before was really good, if it weren't for you, I would have almost sold all the fruits of the big guy's hard work for a year, or your eyesight, everyone has received a lot of benefits this year." ”
Duan Lie laughed when he heard this, he already understood what was going on, it seems that after the auction of the flying stone passed, the collection of gold coins led to a deficit of gold coins in the entire goods market, and without cash flow, prices began to increase year-on-year, and the poor people of Old Ward lived by farming and hunting, and the large amount of food they hoarded was finally sold at a high price.
"Hehe, you're welcome, everyone is a neighbor, you are good to me. Duan Lie said politely.
Old Ward was moved to tears: "I can't say that, if it weren't for you, everyone would be drinking the northwest wind this year, by the way, I told you about this matter, it was your idea to stop my recklessness in time, and the farmers in the northern outer city plan to give out some grain for each family to thank you, and these cars are sent to the Los Angeles branch." ”
Old Ward raised his hand and pointed at it, Duan Lie's eyes almost popped out, good guy, there are ten carts of grain and meat, if these things are put into the cellar of the Los Branch and stored, let alone winter, it will be no problem until next year.
"What's so embarrassing about that? Let them send things over and I'll buy them at the market price, just because there's not enough food in the club. ”
Duan Lie said with a smile, the farmer has worked hard for a year, let him harvest so much grain in vain, Duan Lie will not do this kind of thing no matter what.
Old Ward hurriedly excused himself, but Duan Lie had already made up his mind, and no one could change it, and in the end, Old Ward gave Duan Lie a hard discount at a seven-fold discount on the market price, and Duan Lie knew that it would not be the case if he refused again, so he agreed. It just so happened that Nadine planned to move the Hope Mercenary Group to the Yadap Ritatan Plains to develop, and many members would continue to come to the Los Branch, and it would be winter soon, so how could they do without stockpiling some food.
After chatting with Old Ward for a while, Duan Lie saw Nadine rushing back with Bills and Zack, at least ready to go back to the branch.
Duan Lie hurriedly followed: "Nadine, where have you been?"
The three of them turned around and saw that it was Duan Lie, and immediately surrounded them, and Nadine said, "Besides, I went out for a spin and inquired about some news, and I was looking for you." ”
"Is it about that part?" Duan Lie's eyes lit up.
Nadine hugged Duan Lie's shoulder affectionately and said mysteriously: "That's right, didn't you ask me to negotiate a deal with the Brilliant Apothecary? I went, and people didn't agree at all, but a while ago the Wildfire Valley transferred the news that the territory of the Brilliant Apothecary was invaded, do you know what the invasion is there?"
"What?"
"Hey, hey. Nadine smiled wickedly and winked at Bills, "You say." ”
Beers smiled, "We inquired today, and there is a space-time warp void in the Valley of Wildfire. ”
"Space-time warp hollow?"
Duan Lie's mouth opened wide in shock......
Duan Lie is not unfamiliar with the word space-time distortion void, thinking that when he was in the Infinity Palace, once the wheel of fortune started, it would cause space-time distortion, and the resulting void could open the space-time enchantment.
And once the space-time barrier is opened, it is equivalent to connecting the Transition Plane, of course, this plane is completely different from the fixed life and death plane, it is just a kind of realm that exists in disordered space-time, there are too many dangers in the space-time realm, I don't know what will appear there, it seems that the Valley of Wildfire is in big trouble.
"How big is the space-time distortion void?how big is it?Is it so big?Or is it so big?" Duan Lie immediately gestured twice with his hand, to different degrees.
Bills said: " I don't know for the time being, because no one has discovered the location of the space-time warp hollow at all, but what disturbed the valley of wildfire is a kind of demonic beast that emerged from the space-time warp hollow, after identification, it is a kind of demonic beast called space-time dinosaur, the attribute is still inconclusive, it is very difficult, it does not belong to intelligent creatures, and every once in a while it survives in the space-time realm that devours the local space-time realm, and now the wildfire valley is a mess, and a large area of the garden will be destroyed, Baldwin is very angry, and now he is sending people to find these space-time dinosaurs everywhere, but we inquired, I heard that they sent a lot of people, and the result is not the opponent of the space-time dinosaur at all, Now the entire Yada Pusritan Plain is in chaos, by the way, the Tomorrow Wargroup and the Bloodbone Wargroup have already sent people over to help, as well as the major mercenary group organizations. ”
