Chapter 965: Mingfeng Harbor City
Mingfeng City is a new city, a port city specially set up by the Nangong family for the newly built harbor, a bit similar to the halfway city in Zhongzhou, maybe the people of the Nangong family also borrowed from the construction method of the middle way city.
However, when Lou Yi approached Mingfeng City, he still felt that there was a significant difference between the two, it was like a war city, much like Zhenji City under the Hundred Ridge Mountains at the gateway to southern Xinjiang.
Although it is a new city, it gives people an extremely terrifying sense of antiquity, Lou Yi took a closer look, and immediately understood the reason, the foundation used by this Mingfeng City is the black sulfur fire stone used in the original Zhenji City.
This is a special ore that can prevent Gu worms, but it's a pity that Han Xiao, the city lord of Zhenji City, was a member of the Wu Clan, so its effect was naturally offset by human power.
In the end, Zhenji City was burned, but these foundations were not destroyed, and now they have been made into the foundation of Mingfeng City.
The strong wall was cast from a huge red steel rock, and the rules and prohibitions were imprinted with inscriptions, in short, this wall alone used at least dozens of different prohibitions, which simply armed the city to the teeth.
The gate is made of dark crystal steel, and it is wrapped in the slabs of coconut vine trees unique to Nanzhou, which are very tough, not only swords, but also invulnerable, and are very good building materials.
The combination of these two can not only increase the hardness of the city gate, but also increase the toughness of the city gate, so that it is not too heavy, after all, not everyone can persuade the Beast Control Palace to buy a top-level war beast like the Ji family.
There are three city gates, and the interior is full of secret passages and war towers, in order to deal with possible problems at any time, the thickness of the city wall should be more than 300 zhang, and about 20,000 soldiers can be stationed, but the Nangong family is not a country, so they cannot garrison the army like a mortal town.
You can see the monks dressed in the costumes of the Underworld Palace, appearing in the passages on both sides from time to time, the stairs connecting the war tower and the passage are intricate, and they are a little dizzy at a glance, and there is a huge bright stone embedded in the top, reflecting the entire city gate cave as if it were day.
It's just that this oppressive atmosphere still makes him a little uncomfortable, and he also said that he used the disguise method given to him by Shen Caishen to slightly change the characteristics of his body, making him look like a short and fat man in his forties and fifties.
And this tiger idiot is more aggrieved, he is big, Lou Yi also deliberately made him look fierce and vicious, so as to avoid being harassed by the unsightly bandits on the road, and along the way, he relied on this appearance to scare away many ill-intentioned guys.
But now that he arrived at his destination, the situation was obviously a little different, and most of the monks here would pay special attention to his appearance, not to mention the fierce and vicious, and his temper was still very bad.
"What do you see?!!
"Looking for death?!!
"Look at Lao Tzu again, slap you to death!"
......
The passage was filled with the impatient roar of the tiger idiot, Lou Yi was extremely depressed in his heart, and the people around him were avoiding them, so he could only speed up his pace as much as possible and drove out of the city gate cave.
The inner city is much more complicated than he imagined, it is divided into three layers, upper, middle and lower, which is similar to the situation in Dingjun City, and Lou Yi also found an extremely familiar thing, the arena......
Looking at the angry tiger idiot, he encouraged the other party, "Do you want to vent?"
"I want to !!" the tiger idiot answered him almost without thinking, it was so uncomfortable that he was about to go crazy.
Lou Yi pointed to a ring building in the upper area and said to him, "What do you think is that?"
The tiger idiot looked up, and naturally found the existence of the fighting arena, he moved his body, and there was a crackling sound, and the tiger idiot laughed twice and said, "Good place, good place!"
Lou Yi thought of something and instructed him, "Remember, don't kill anyone! Of course I want to kill you, you can do it yourself......"
The tiger idiot scratched his head, obviously not fully understanding the meaning of his words, what is not allowed to kill, what is called watching, according to his temper, those who provoke him will die!
Lou Yi looked at his embarrassed expression, sighed and said, "Just make less effort and give people a breath!"
The tiger idiot reluctantly sighed, then dropped his clothes and left, Lou Yi looked at the goods scattered all over the place, and couldn't wait to call him back to clean up, why bother to come, but in the end, I figured it out, who let myself fall in love with such a goods......
After putting away the goods scattered all over the place, he went straight to the bazaar, he had to try his luck first, and if he was lucky, he would be able to leave quickly.
However, he is not good at shipbuilding, so he has to rely on the help of the Vultures, but fortunately, the sea chart is still lying in his Naxu ring, as long as the sea soul wood is enough, he doesn't have to worry about anything.
As a result, when he entered the market and walked around, he didn't even have a decent sea soul wood, and those traders told him that the sea soul wood produced at this time was bought by the Nangong family to build an embankment.
They also told him that if he was unwilling, he could go to the shop and have a look, and maybe he could get one or two, but the price was not easy to say.
Lou Yi felt extremely depressed, even the smallest abyss crossing boat needed at least twenty-eight sea soul woods, not to mention that what he wanted to build was a big boat that could travel between states.
As a result, seven or eight shops in a row said that there was no supply, and it was not until the ninth that they were finally told that there was a stock, and after paying three times the price, when they saw the real thing, Lou B almost couldn't help but move.
This profiteer actually took out a wooden stick about a foot long and thick with a small arm or so, and placed it in front of him, and looking at the appearance of this guy, he also looked like you like it or not, Lou Yi put away the wood, walked out of the store with a black face, and there was a wanton ridicule from the shoulder and the bookkeeper behind him.
Lou Yi glanced back and saw that there were three big characters written on this shop, the corners of Lou Yi's mouth raised, and he muttered, "Do you want to be comfortable?"
After he left, he walked around the entire Mingfeng City, but he only purchased ten pieces of wood, and even the price soared all the way to twenty times, which was still sold by the other party without reluctance.
However, some people also told him that he could go to the black market and inquire where there should be sea soul wood for sale, as long as the Huotong coins were enough to pay.
According to the other party's instructions, Lou Yi came to a place in the lowest area, he happened to be in the northwest corner of the sweatshirt Ming Fengcheng, where the sun is almost invisible all day long, and in this hot Nanzhou, he can feel a cold feeling.
Coming to a nondescript building, which looked like a kennel, but only slightly larger, he grabbed a copper ring on it, pulled it outward three times, and then struck the copper buckle below with the copper ring, knocking it seven times before stopping.
Then he stood where he was, waiting for news, and after a while, there seemed to be a sound coming from inside, and then a downward staircase entrance appeared not far behind him, and Lou Yi stepped in, and then disappeared at the bottom of the stairs.
There was a sound of closing from above, and Lou Yihun continued to descend without care, and the two sides of the stairs were inlaid with small bright stones, forming two bands of light, guiding him forward.
Every more than 100 meters away, Lou Yi would feel that others were peeping at him, but fortunately, he was currently short and fat, but he didn't attract attention.
After walking almost 600 steps, we finally reached our final destination, which was filled with a humid and stuffy atmosphere, but there were air holes above to bring fresh air into the place, and the people here were so hurried that it would never take more than ten breaths in front of a stall.
They never ask the price and never bargain, the things on each stall are clearly marked, as long as you look at it, you can take it directly by paying the money, it is very convenient, but it is just so slipping down, but there is never something he wants, but he accidentally found a trick, this decision is called [fire control], and the introduction seems to be from the Underworld Palace.
Lou Yi spent almost three million Huotong coins to take it away, and although the price was expensive, he still felt that it was worth the money.
It's just a pity that Sea Soul Wood doesn't have any news, it seems that he can only think of another way, and at this moment he suddenly stopped, because he felt a certain familiar aura, coming from an area where war slaves were sold.
Lou Yi walked over in curiosity, but he didn't expect to see a person, a person he was very familiar with, Xu Ren among the three Xu brothers, but he looked very miserable at the moment, skinny, and dying.
He controlled his emotions for a moment, and looked up, only to see a huge Ji character hanging on it, like the name of a certain surname, and the guards here seemed to be very strong, and it always made him feel a little familiar.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, this familiar feeling came from Dingjun City, this was the feeling in Liu Tang's mansion at the beginning, he muttered to himself, "I see......"
This guy surnamed Ji is likely to be the city lord of this Mingfeng City, and this black market is actually a tool used by this guy to collect money.
Then he could understand why there was no sea soul wood here, and after figuring this out, he pretended to want to buy a war slave and walked here with a big grin.
He walked around for the most part, and he didn't see his other two brothers except Xu Ren, which made him feel very sorry, because the strength of their single brother was limited, but the three brothers working together could force him to take it seriously.
He casually walked to Xu Ren's cage, looked at the dying Xu Ren and said, "What are you looking at ?!! stinky slave?"
His voice made the confused Xu Ren open his eyes, he tried to look up at Lou Yi, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and then Lou Yi continued to point at him and scolded, "Do you still want to die?!!?"
His actions immediately attracted the attention of the guards outside, and a black-faced man yelled at him, "If you don't buy it, get out, don't yell on Ji Ye's land!"
