Chapter 241: Lead the way
The night was getting darker.
Ye Wen felt a little drunk at this time, slowly put down the wine glass, and swept the table face to face, only to see Yan Zhongzhi, who had boasted of his amazing amount of alcohol before, leaning crookedly on the back of the chair, lowering his head and muttering that he didn't know what he was doing, obviously drunk to the point of being drunk.
Scratching his head, Ye Wen smiled slightly, he was quite happy in his heart, it was actually good to relax like this once in a while, but drinking too much alcohol is easy to become numb, and if you are too numb, you will lose your mind and alertness.
"Keep drinking. ”
After all, he didn't keep his promise not to get drunk and go home, Ye Wen got up and wiped his mouth, looked at his comrades who were still drinking, showed a little embarrassed smile, and said, "Wait for Brother Yan to get up, help me say sorry." ”
"Haha! I knew you kid was going to back down!"
"Go ahead. ”
"Even if Brother Yan wakes up now, we will help you stop it. ”
In the good-natured laughter of his comrades-in-arms, Ye Wen smiled shyly, his eyes reluctantly stayed in those dishes for a moment, and then reluctantly looked away, looking at the shopkeeper who was standing eye-catching on the side, smiling, his eyes jumped subconsciously, and he suddenly sighed lightly.
Although I didn't think about eating the overlord meal, I still felt a pain in my flesh when I saw the price list handed over, so I took out the military silver talisman on my body with a smile and tears, pasted it on the cashier talisman that I was respectfully holding in my opponent, completed the process of paying the fee, and scratched my head and walked towards the door of the tavern.
Halfway through, he rubbed the military silver talisman that seemed to have become shriveled, thinking that the next few days might not be easy, Ye Wen suddenly felt a little remorseful, he shouldn't boast about Haikou at the beginning, knowing that these animals never understood the meaning of mercy for their subordinates.
Thinking about it, Ye Wen glanced back sadly and angrily, only to find that his partners looked away and continued to drink and eat without guilt, and after secretly scolding in his heart for being inhumane, he walked out of the tavern door.
However, Ye Wen didn't notice that in a corner of the tavern, there were two soldiers wearing uniform uniforms and drinking quietly, looking at his departing back with a rather cold gaze.
Then the two looked at each other and nodded, as if they had reached some kind of agreement, just like an ordinary drinker, drunkenly stood up, and after paying the wine money, he also walked out.
In the night, a young man with slightly swaying steps, carrying the flask he had taken before leaving, walked lightly on the streets of Huoluo.
After walking for a while, Ye Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, because he noticed that a young man in a green shirt was following him step by step with extremely clumsy tracking skills.
"Are you looking for me?"
Sighing lightly, Ye Wen's palm flipped slightly, and a small talisman appeared in the palm of his hand, and with the light flashing suddenly, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, appeared behind the sneaky young man, and asked with a smile.
"Ahh
Hearing the sudden sound behind him, the suspicious young man trembled, turned around with a panicked expression, looked at Ye Wen with a smile on his face in amazement, and stammered and asked, "You, why did you suddenly come here from that side?"
Ye Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the young man in front of him with interest, seeing that he was a few years older than him at most, but the fluctuations of Dao power on his body seemed to be quite weak, either the level of hidden strength was quite high, or he was really weak, but it was impossible for someone who could stay in the military stronghold of Huoluo to be so weak, right?
"You, hello ......"
As if sensing the killing intent on the other side, the young man swallowed his saliva and quickly explained: "I don't have any malicious intentions, I just think that Brother Tai should be the first time to come to Huoluo, and I want to ask if you need to find someone to lead you around...... Don't, don't worry, I'm not lying, you see, this is my proof, a certificate of approval from the military, which allows those of us who are not affiliated with the military to make a living and survive here. ”
With a move in his heart, Ye Wen took the talisman handed over by the young man, there was indeed the mark of the army on it, and the information in it was probably not fake, he immediately glanced at the other party, smiled, and said: "This is unusual, what is the point of this kind of leading the way?
"When, of course. This military brother, you don't know, although Huoluo is not a big place, but not all areas can be entered, if you are not careful, you will violate military regulations, you probably followed the army to come here, but I'm afraid your boss also doesn't explain much, only tell the location of the gathering place and temporary residence. At this time, it is the turn of us, the leaders of the way, to serve you and explain the taboos and rules of each street, and ......"
After the initial panic, the young man finally regained his composure, and regardless of whether Ye Wen was interested or not, he gushed about it, and even stuffed the self-made information talisman into Ye Wen's hand, which was full of content about the object of his service and the scope of his work.
"Interesting. ”
Listening to the introduction of the young man, Ye Wen, who was originally quite unfamiliar with Huoluo, suddenly understood a little, at least had a general impression, it turned out that although Huoluo's stronghold was mainly military, there was no shortage of prisoners who were sentenced.
Those charged with lesser offences can be pardoned if they behave well, and instead of participating in the jungle development with a high mortality rate, they can choose to find work in their strongholds.
The young man in front of him, who called himself "Jin Yuan", was one of the lucky ones, of course, because he was always guilty, his Dao power would be completely banned, and he was not much stronger than ordinary mortals.
"Speaking of which, although Huo Luo has the majority of sword cultivators, there are also a certain number of talisman refiners, and these talisman refiners have gathered together to establish a temporary exchange group in the northwest region of the stronghold, and according to the situation, they regularly hold some talisman refining competitions, trade fairs and other activities......"
When the young man spoke of the rise, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed in that direction, and a sincere and enthusiastic smile appeared on his face, as if he were a professional salesman.
Hearing Jin Yuan say this, Ye Wen's eyes lit up slightly, and the emotions that were originally not very interested were suddenly mobilized, he was convicted by Meng Laolian, and he was assigned to join the army, and now he has joined the army as a talisman refiner, if it is not necessary, his strength as a monk will probably not have a chance to show.
As for the ability of a talisman refiner, although under the advice of Meng Lao, it seems that it is best not to expose his true level too early, but this does not mean that Ye Wen is willing to fall and let his cultivation progress be put on hold, if there is an opportunity to promote and learn, he will definitely not let it go.
A gathering place for the alchemists of the subordinate army? Ye Wen thought so in his heart, looked at Jin Yuan, whose facial expression was still slightly nervous, and said with a slight smile: "Northwest District, if the price is reasonable, then you can lead the way and introduce it in detail by the way." ”
"Hehe, I promise, I'm definitely the cheapest one in the Huoluo stronghold. ”
Seeing Ye Wen's appearance as if he was moved, Jin Yuanmu had a smile on his face that was not ugly, but for some reason, he seemed to be quite nervous.
With the signing of a contract of employment, the young man, who had apparently been engaged in such a profession for a short time, rubbed his hands together excitedly and led the way ahead.
