Chapter 24: The Su Family and the Blood Knife Squad

Kaiyang City, a peripheral industry of the Su family.

In the imperial capital of the Lanwu Empire, in addition to the royal family and several saint-level protector generals, the remaining forces are the four major families. These four major families have the meritorious descendants of the founding of the country, the merchant magnates and important ministers, but without exception, they all have at least one ninth-order master in person.

And the Su family is one of these four.

In the eyes of people who don't understand the mysteries, the children of the Su family can be described as brocade clothes and food in Kaiyang, and they are majestic, and even the smelting officials and city guards of Kaiyang City have to meet to give three points. However, as a side branch of the Su family, Su Zhenyuan is far less comfortable than outsiders think. Although he relied on his identity as a child of the Su family to fool many people, in fact, this guy who couldn't get in touch with the core at all may not live a more comfortable life than the sons-in-law of some small families.

Of course, Su Zhenyuan was not willing to do this.

Since he came out of the family at the age of eighteen, Su Zhenyuan has been working hard to win over and support his own forces. And the Blood Knife mercenary team also happens to want to find a backer with a deep background in Kaiyang. So, Su Zhenyuan and the Blood Knife Team hit it off. With the help of the Su family's strong background and reputation, Su Zhenyuan really helped the Blood Knife Team solve a few troubles, which also made the Blood Knife Team rely on Su Zhenyuan more and more.

Of course, the money he usually earns has to be shared by Su Zhenyuan.

Not long ago, he received another member of the Blood Knife Squad. However, when he thought of the five thousand gold, Su Zhenyuan did not have the joy he had before. Although he knew that the judgment of the person in front of him would not be wrong, he couldn't help but ask again: "Master, that inconspicuous ring is really the great treasure of the Spirit Clan-the Song of Spiritual Energy?"

Being questioned like this, the old man was obviously very unpleasant. He snorted, stroked his beard, and said, "From the time I was an appraiser to now, which one has seen it in the past few decades?" Referring to the information you said, as well as the pattern of this rubbing, I can conclude that it is the Song of Psionic Energy. If you do it well, you might be able to get 300,000 gold coins!"

300,000 gold coins!

For the Su family, who has to handle tens of millions of gold coins every year, 300,000 gold coins is really nothing. But for the strapped Su Zhenyuan, 300,000 gold coins is too considerable. He has been busy for so many years, and the money that exists is nothing more than this amount. An oversight led to missing such a large sum of money, and Su Zhen was far from being distressed for a few days without eating.

After thanking the old man again and again, and sending him away politely, the tangled Su Zhenyuan quickly called the captain of the Blood Knife Squad, a fifth-order peak berserker nicknamed the Blood Knife.

Seeing that this young gentleman's face remained unswerving, the blood knife took two steps forward, changed his expression to a respectful expression, and asked, "Master Su, is there something wrong?"

Su Zhenyuan glanced at him and asked, "Do you know who you sold the ring you got from the Spirit Clan ruins before?"

The ring?

The blood knife was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said: "The information of the customers at the auction will not be disclosed to the public, and we don't know." Is that ring valuable?"

Su Zhenyuan nodded, and said angrily: "We are all gone, thinking it is rags." As a result, a master appraiser came to my house today, and I showed him the drawings that were rubbed at that time. As a result, do you know, it is a song of psionic energy worth 300,000 gold coins, and it is the treasure of the spirit people!"

300,000 gold coins?

The Blood Knife gasped, for his mercenary team, 300,000 gold coins was definitely an astronomical amount.

Su Zhenyuan was very satisfied with the shocked expression of the blood knife, he looked at it twice, and said, "I don't care what means you use, hurry up and find a way to find out that buyer and get the ring back." The master said that the mystery of that ring is incomprehensible to ordinary people, so the lucky guy should not know it for the time being, but nothing is absolute. You act quickly, and when others figure out the true value, it will be difficult to take it back!"

"But......" Blood Knife hesitated a little, and said hesitantly: "It's all already on the auction, and according to the rules, what we lose and make is our own." It's a bit unruly to come back. Words that spread out......"

Seeing the blood knife shirking, Su Zhenyuan was suddenly dissatisfied, he looked at the blood knife with cruel eyes, and said, "That's 300,000 gold coins, you can do it yourself!"

The Blood Knife is not given any chance to distinguish at all.

The Blood Knife hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What if that person knows the secret of the Psionic Song, or if he resolutely refuses to retreat?"

Su Zhenyuan grinned, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and then said viciously: "How to deal with this kind of thing, and you want me to teach you?

"Okay, I'm white. ”

Seeing Su Zhenyuan's expression, Blood Knife's heart sank, knowing that there was no need to discuss this matter. Although this kind of behavior violates the morality of mercenaries, when he thinks of 300,000 gold coins, the blood knife can't help but be ruthless, gritted his teeth, and did it!

The guy who sold the ring had better be interesting, otherwise he wouldn't be ruined.

.........

This old man named Xinda actually knows the internal circuit of the Blue Shadow Thunder Lightsaber!

Lu Chengfeng looked at him again with some surprise, and the evaluation in his heart suddenly improved a lot. As the early lightsaber of the Lu family, when the lightsaber royal family was at its peak, its structure could already be said to be an open secret. At that time, several major powers knew about it. However, today, 1,200 years later, the lightsaber has become a legend, and there are blacksmiths who can recognize it at a glance.

It's a rare rarity.

It was also after Xinda called out its name that Lu Chengfeng really believed that this guy had the ability to forge successfully.

However, surprise is surprise, Lu Chengfeng will not tell him the truth, but just excuse himself to accidentally find it from a mercenary team exploring the ruins when he was on an adventure. It didn't matter if Sinda would believe it or not, it would be nice to have an excuse to answer him anyway.

"How about it, can you do it in one go?"

Seeing that Xinda was still groaning, Lu Chengfeng asked with some expectation. Since the other party can call the name of the Blue Shadow Thunder Lightsaber in one bite, he thinks he has a deep understanding of the lightsaber. If he wasn't sure, Lu Chengfeng would have to go as far as the Suo Mur Workshop located in the Void Ancestor.

"I'm certain for sure. ”

After being urged by Lu Chengfeng, Xinda thought about it and gave an affirmative answer, but he also made a request: "Casting a lightsaber is not an easy task, I need five days to prepare. Also, when the lightsaber is in hand, I need you to go to the poisonous ruins and help me hunt a bloodthirsty wolf. I've recently been making poison weapons for an Assassin and need it. ”

The bloodthirsty and poisonous wolf, like the thunder beast in Thundering Town, is also a fourth-order monster.

Because of his ferocious nature and the fact that he is highly poisonous all over his body, the bloodthirsty and poisonous wolf is also a formidable existence for many low-level mercenaries. If there is no corresponding antidote on the body, as long as it is scratched a little, it is basically certain death. Only after the lightsaber is in hand, Lu Chengfeng can be sure of victory.

Although he had to run another errand for Xinda, which made him feel a little troublesome, Lu Chengfeng finally agreed.

Such a blacksmith master who has a deep understanding of lightsabers, Lu Chengfeng may still use him in the future, and there is no harm in selling the other party's favor.

The waiting time was long, and after resting for two days and perfecting his Tianfeng Dou Qi by the way, Lu Chengfeng walked around the Mercenary Guild, and took on a new task by the way-collecting specific herbs.

The quest itself is not difficult, and the herbs required to be collected are not particularly rare, but the quest that was issued is the Apocalypse Order, so the reward for the quest is quite high. Lu Chengfeng himself also had to collect some materials, and asked Norton to help refine the antidote, so that he could go to the ruins of fierce poison to kill the bloodthirsty and poisonous wolf, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The Apocalypse Order is a religious group that only emerged in the last decades of the Heavenly Wind Empire, that is, during the Blood Moon Tribulation. Because of his great efforts in the Blood Moon Catastrophe and his high prestige in the human world, he rose rapidly in the next few hundred years, becoming the first religion on the continent and the spokesperson of the priesthood on the whole continent. Lu Chengfeng didn't know much about such a sect, but judging from the memories of the fusion, at least the predecessor's impression of the Apocalypse Sect was still very positive.

Such an organization, which ranks first in the mainland in terms of force, influence, and financial resources, is naturally very generous in issuing tasks. If it was another task, I am afraid that it would not be Lu Chengfeng's turn to pick it up at all, and as soon as it was hung out, it would be grabbed by countless mercenary groups. It is this kind of unlimited large-scale acquisition that gives all mercenaries the opportunity to make a small profit.

Almost on the same day, thousands of mercenaries poured into the Endless Forest.

Lu Chengfeng also learned about the types and distribution of herbs purchased by the Apocalypse Sect, and followed the mercenaries into the Endless Forest again. Compared with the simple explanation provided by the Apocalypse Sect, the information and distribution points that he personally investigated were undoubtedly more accurate. Naturally, compared to those mercenaries who blindly followed, his gains would be higher.

The only thing that made Lu Chengfeng puzzled was that almost all of the herbs purchased by the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect were the kind that lifted curses, dispelled black magic, and could make holy light potions. Moreover, such acquisitions have been made three times in recent years. Such a highly targeted temporary acquisition easily reminded him of something: for example, why the Apocalypse Sect was preparing in advance.

What it is, with Lu Chengfeng's current strength and news channels, there is obviously no way to know. However, Lu Chengfeng didn't care too much about this. The Apocalypse Order, with its countless followers, tens of millions of followers, and 600,000 clerics, is the expert in dealing with these matters. Moreover, the headquarters of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect also happened to be located in Kaiyang, the Lanwu Empire, and the two Saint-rank powerhouses were personally seated here.

With them, there is no need to land and ride the wind to worry about idleness.
