Chapter 220: Flower Name
Luo Tian and his party went out of the border, and then traveled south for a day to reach the vicinity of the Sword Mountain, the whole Sword Mountain is like a huge stone pillar standing in the middle of the two countries, occupying a vast land, in history, the two countries did not want to occupy this Sword Mountain.
But as long as either side sends troops, the opposite country will immediately attack, and if you send elite soldiers to sneak into the Sword Mountain, they will never return, and basically all of them will die in the Sword Mountain. Over time, the two countries reached a consensus that Jianshan was a neutral zone.
When Luo Tian and the others arrived at the outskirts of Sword Mountain, they were still startled by the huge market at the foot of Sword Mountain, hundreds of meters deep, like a patchwork of multiple towns, stretching tents one after another, there were almost no stone houses here, and the sword hunters who came to do business all lived in small tents.
"It's a big place, let's go, find a place to stay. Luo Tian waved his hand. Yin Jiu and Yan Taichong led the horse and walked forward.
Entering the bazaar, you can feel the liveliness here, and Luo Tian imagined that it is different that not all of the swords are sold here, and the stalls selling swords account for about three or four percent, of course, this proportion is also quite high.
In addition, there are also those who sell topographic maps, even other armor and weapons, and even sell alcohol and dry food. Everyday items such as clothing and fruits.
Over the centuries, it has evolved into a diverse and huge market in the middle of the zone.
The people who entered the bazaar were quite novel, especially Yin Jiu, which has been famous for Sword Mountain for a long time, and of course the Sword Mountain here has been abandoned. It is rumored that high-level treasures in human weapons have been sold here, which makes Yin Jiu very interested.
"Several, are you going to stay, our tent here is clean and comfortable, and the price is cheap. ”
"Stay in our house, provide free room and board, and you will get a discount if you buy a sword at that time. ”
"You are sword hunters, we provide a topographic map of Sword Mountain here, so that you can find the treasure and return with a full load. ”
Unexpectedly, the accommodation business is quite hot, and the road is full of soliciting business, each with its own discounts.
Luo Tian chose a topographic map to live, the accommodation tent is clean, but the place is not very spacious, and the tent is not a good sound insulation effect.
"A few people have a sip of water, and the topographic map will be sent to you in a moment, and I will tell you about our charges here first, starting from three nights. It is five pieces of silver for a night, and it is cheaper if you stay for more than seven days, and three pieces of silver for a night, if you stay for a month. I'll give you another discount, two dollars a night, in general, the longer you stay, the cheaper it is. Hey. ”
The boss is quite good at doing business, Luo Tian has been in charge for a month, the boss is smiling, and he sent the topographic map after a while.
"Isn't there a topographical map of the interior of Sword Mountain?" Luo Tian asked.
The boss shook his head and said, "This is really not, few people in Sword Mountain dare to go in." Even if they entered, few people would come out alive, so the topographic map could not be drawn. ”
"Oh, that's a shame, even if you don't have a topographic map, it would be nice to have a guide. I really have money and nowhere to spend it. Luo Tian said intentionally or unintentionally.
The boss's face changed slightly, and he didn't move, so he withdrew.
"Boss, what did you mean by what you just said?" Yin Jiu had been following Luo Tian for a long time, and naturally saw that Luo Tian was playing tricks.
"These innkeepers are all local snakes. The credibility of what they say is only three or four percent, I just deliberately tested him, if this guy has a way, I believe he will not make my money. ”
Luo Tian's guess was really right, and it was evening. When they came back from a walk outside, they saw the boss waiting in their tent.
"It's so late, is there something wrong with the boss?" asked Luo Tian.
The boss smiled and said, "How much can the guest officer pay?"
"What kind of money?" Luo Tian asked knowingly.
"The guest officer is also a smart person, you should know what I mean, I have a brother, he is the only one in the nearby market who has entered the interior of Sword Mountain and come out, he has a secret route, he can bring people in, but the asking price is not cheap, after all, the inside of Sword Mountain is quite dangerous, and if you don't make trouble, you will lose your head. ”
"Oh, I see, haha, how much do you want?" asked Luo Tian.
"No matter how you say it, you have to give at least five thousand taels, and you have to give half of the money first, as my brother's settling-in allowance, if you can't get out, the two thousand five hundred taels will be considered the money for the rest of his wife and children's life, and when you successfully enter the inside of Sword Mountain, you will give the remaining half of the money to my brother." He is only responsible for taking you in, reserving a way out for you, and then he himself will come out first, and you will look for the treasure inside, and he will not follow. ”
After all that is said. The boss saw that Luo Tian didn't say anything, and thought that the price was too high, so he muttered: "Brother, although five thousand taels is not a small amount, if you can bring out a low-level treasure from inside Sword Mountain." Then the money will be doubled, and then the five thousand taels will be a small amount of money, and the five thousand taels will still be worth it. ”
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will scold me and take the money, and the way out will not be reserved. Wouldn't I have lost a lot?" Luo Tian said in a low voice.
"You can rest assured that we are not deceived in our business, and my brother is not a liar, if you agree, I will introduce you tomorrow. ”
After the boss left, the three of them gathered together, and Yin Jiu said in a low voice: "Boss, can this person believe it?"
Luo Tian smiled and said, "I'll know when I go to see it tomorrow, if he dares to lie to me, then don't blame me for being unkind." ”
Following. Led by the boss, the group passed through a market and stopped in front of a relatively spacious tent.
"Is Yang Gao at home? I'm here to introduce you to business, okay?"
After shouting for a while, I saw a big man come out of the tent, this person was burly, his naked upper body was full of muscles and scars, and at first glance he was a real man who had walked in danger, his hair was braided, and he was wearing an eye patch on his left eye, and he was very ruthless.
"It's you, what kind of business?" Yang Gao asked dissatisfiedly, it didn't seem to be as good as the boss said.
"Hehe, let's go in and say, the three guest officers are out and don't be impatient. "Finished. The boss dragged Yang Gao in.
After discussing for a while before coming out, Yang Gao glanced at Luo Tianhou and said, "Come in and talk." ”
This person's cultivation is about the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, but looking at his scars, he should have a lot of actual combat experience, but in front of Luo Tian today, his cultivation can be slapped to death with one palm.
The tent is very chaotic, in addition to men's products, there are many women's things, I heard that many sword hunters who come here have finally taken root here, take the tent as their home, take the woman and give birth to a baby, and do not go back to their hometown.
"What do you call it?" Yang Gao asked as he poured a glass of wine for Luo Tianhou.
"My name is Tie Tian, a sword hunter from Yunshan Kingdom. Walking on the border, Luo Tian still uses a pseudonym.
"Oh, if you want to go inside Sword Mountain to find a treasure, my friend has reported the price to you. Pay me two thousand five hundred taels first, and when I take you to the inside of Sword Mountain and arrange a retreat, you will give me the rest of the money, and then I will leave first, you look for your treasure, and then life and death are none of my business. Yang Gao's statement is exactly the same as the boss.
Luo Tian smiled, looking at the furnishings in the room, especially men's items, many of which seemed to be from the army. Including the wine glass in front of him, this wine glass is not delicate, made of steel, and at a glance you know that it is not used for drinking, it should be a water glass during the march.
"Brother Yang is a soldier. Luo Tian said.
Yang Gao was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know?"
"Hehe, military boots, sabers, wine glasses and uniforms are all used by the army, plus your scars, you must have been born as a soldier, and look at a wolf head tattooed on your arm, I guess, Brother Yang should have been a member of the Black Wolf Army of the Iron Feather Country in the past, and the military boots you can wear indicate that you were once the commander of the Black Wolf Army." ”
"Good eyesight, that's right, I used to be the squad leader of the Black Wolf Army. Yang Gao didn't deny it, nodded generously and admitted it.
Luo Tian smiled, immediately took out the silver ticket and handed it over, and said: "The soldier is a big promise, this time I believe that Brother Yang will not cheat me." ”
