Golden Summoner

"In this game, No. 68 won, and the next one..."

……

The people behind summoned all kinds of summoners to fight with that Tang warrior, but there were not many people who could kill that Tang warrior. On average, for every three or so summoners, only one could success.

What Qu Youqian summoned was also an archer, and he also won.

Of the 39 summoners, only 12 passed this level in the end.

Chapter 1 Seventy Results

The two people in the Judgment Army brought Xia Pingan and other 12 people who had passed the previous four levels to another place.

This place is in a bamboo forest in the barracks, and the environment is quite quiet. A seven-story pagoda with a white outer wall and light blue glazed tiles stands in front of everyone.

The glazed pagoda is beautiful, delicate and solemn.

The two people in the Judgment Army directly brought Xia Ping'an and the others to the beautiful tower.

In the middle of the hall on the first floor of the pagoda, there is a huge black crystal ball with a diameter of more than two meters. The black crystal ball is full of light and mist, and colorful brilliance is constantly emerging and dying in the crystal ball. It seems rather mysterious.

An old man in a white robe and a strange white high hat was standing next to the huge black crystal ball, meditating with his eyes closed. He didn't open his eyes until Xia Ping'an and the others entered the tower. Standing up, he glanced at Xia Ping'an and the others with Gujing Wubo's eyes.

"Are these twelve people today?" the old man asked.

"Yes, please take a look again!" The two Judgment Army members who brought Xia Ping'an and the others here were very polite to the old man and spoke in honorific terms.

"Well, then come on!" The old man lazily walked to the black crystal ball, put one hand on the black crystal ball, and glanced this way.

"You all go over there, just stretch out one hand and put it on the crystal ball!"

Hearing this, Xia Pingan and the others walked over, each stretched out a hand, and touched the crystal ball.

This last hurdle, Xia Pingan heard from Mr. Jing said that the last hurdle of joining the Judgment Army is to ask the heart with a drop of blood.

The strange crystal ball in front of me is a magical thing called a soul crystal. The old man in white is the chosen priest of the Dark War Cult. In the Dark War God Cult, the chosen priest can use soul and darkness The people who communicate with the God of War are the most devout believers of the God of War, and they are also called soul ferrymen.

Just as Xia Pingan put his hand on the huge crystal ball, the huge crystal ball suddenly produced a strange suction. The light and mist in the huge black crystal ball rolled and turned into twelve sharp thorns, extending from the inside of the crystal ball to the outside.

Xia Pingan only felt a slight tingle in his palm, and was pierced a small hole by the sharp thorn in the huge crystal ball, and a drop of blood was sucked in by the huge crystal ball.

Not only Xia Ping'an, but other people's palms were also pierced at the same time.

"Our god walks in the darkness, and there is light in the darkness. Our god raises the sword in his hand, and peace and tranquility come to the world!" The chosen priest in white robes spoke in a low, sleepy voice. Whispering, a cloud of dark red mist surged out of the black crystal ball, enveloping Xia Pingan and the others.

Xia Pingan tried his best to keep himself awake, but as soon as the black mist wrapped around him, he felt as if he had started to fuse the Realm Beads. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he wanted to fall asleep more and more.

In a daze, Xia Ping'an heard the voice of inquiry that seemed to come from the sky.

That voice appeared directly in Xia Ping'an's mind.

"What's your name?"

"Where are you from?"

"What god do you believe in?"

"Did you join the Judgment Army under orders?"

"Do you want to be unfavorable to the Great Merchant Kingdom and the Dark God of War Cult?"

……

Xia Pingan didn't know what happened next, he fell asleep in a daze, relaxed physically and mentally, wandering in a sweet sleep.

I don't know how long it took before Xia Pingan woke up.

After waking up, Xia Ping'an saw that the dark red mist that had surrounded everyone had dissipated.

Everyone's hands were still pressing on the huge crystal ball.

Among these 12 people, 4 people had a dark red shadow of the throne of thorns appearing on their heads, and the other 8 people, including themselves, had nothing on their heads, and Qu Youqian also lost the selection.

The female summoner who summoned the big snake before also had such a light and shadow on her head, and the other three male summoners who also had this light and shadow.

The faces of the four selected people were a little excited and excited, while the faces of the others were a little bit bitter and helpless.

Four people were selected out of almost 400 people, really one in a hundred.

Xia Pingan had vaguely guessed the result in his heart. He was a little blocked and disappointed. The contrast was too great. He came full of confidence. He performed well in the first four levels, but unexpectedly he was brushed down in the last level. .

This kind of feeling is like before the college entrance examination, I was full of confidence and wanted to enter the Yuanmingyuan Vocational and Technical College, but when the scores came down, I found that I failed the exam.

Nima, how did Bloodletting Ask Heart choose people in this last level, and why did you get rejected?

Xia Pingan was extremely depressed!

"This time, there are only 4 people selected for the Judgment Army. The one with the light and shadow of the God of Thorns on his head will stay, and the rest will follow me!" The arrogant young man in his 20s said to Xia Pingan and others.

Xia Pingan and the others had no choice but to leave with the young man.

However, just as Xia Ping'an had just walked to the exit of the pagoda, a voice suddenly sounded in Xia Ping'an's mind.

"Young man, congratulations, you have been selected to join the Shadow Guard in the Judgment Army. The Shadow Guard is the most secretive existence in the Judgment Army. The identities of the participants are kept secret. Only the top elite summoners in the Judgment Army are eligible to join. Today Among the 12 people, you are the only one selected for the Shadow Guard of the Judgment Army. You should not leave Shangjing for a few days, and find time to go to the Fearless Zhai in Bailing Lane. Someone will tell you what to do..."

This voice was the voice of the chosen priest. Xia Pingan was shocked. He didn't look back, but used his remote viewing ability to look behind him, and saw that the old man was looking at his back with deep eyes.

When Xia Pingan used his remote viewing ability to look at the past, the corner of the mouth of the God's Chosen Priest showed an imperceptible smile, as if he felt Xia Pingan's "watching", the God's Chosen Priest nodded slightly, as if he did not take Xia Pingan rashly The "appreciation" of turning back.

The faces of the other seven people who left with Xia Ping'an were still the same, with a sense of loss and helplessness.

A few minutes later, Xia Pingan and the other eight people were sent out from the side door of the Judgment Army camp.

From morning to now, the time has reached noon.

"Hey, I didn't expect that I couldn't pass the last level. It's too difficult for the Judgment Army to recruit people..." Qu Youqian shook his head and sighed when he walked out of the camp, and looked at Xia Pingan, "I don't know if Brother Xia What's your plan?"

Chapter 171

Facing Qu Youqian who asked about his plan, Xia Pingan thought for a while before saying, "I don't have any specific plans for now, I plan to settle down in Shangjing first!"

"Brother Xia, aren't you going to leave Shangjing for the time being?" Qu Youqian asked again.

Xia Pingan shook his head, "Shanghai is extremely prosperous, and it's not easy to come here. It's a pity to leave like this. I'm not going to leave yet. What about you, Brother Qu, what are your plans?"

Qu Youqian rubbed his face, "I told Brother Xia before that I have a friend who has become a bounty hunter. I am going to try it out. Do you want Brother Xia to join me?"

Xia Pingan looked up at the sun hanging in the sky, and touched his stomach again. He was already hungry after working here this morning, "Let me check again, it's getting late now, let's find Let's eat at a place first, it's rare to get to know Brother Qu, so for today's meal, I'll invite Brother Qu!"

"Hahaha, okay, let's go for a walk, I happen to know that there is a place nearby called Liuxian Tower, I heard that Liuxianlou's braised pork in sauce and Zuixian wine are unique, why don't we try it! "

"Hahaha, brother Qu will lead the way!"

Qu Youqian took Xia Ping'an to Liuxian Tower. After eating and drinking, the two came out of Liuxian Tower. It was already afternoon.

The Zuixianjiu in Liuxianlou really has its own characteristics. Xia Pingan's physique is almost immune to ordinary alcohol, but after drinking two pots of Zuixianjiu, Xia Pingan also felt a little hot on his face. The consciousness is slightly smoked, and there is a trace of drunkenness.

"In the capital, prices are high, so it's not easy to stay here..." Qu Youqian was still a little drunk, and he was belching and talking to Xia Pingan through the alcohol, "Brother Xia wants to stay here It is not convenient to live in ordinary hotels and hotels, and those high-end hotels are too expensive. Renting a house is the most suitable. Houses in the suburbs are cheaper, and the closer to the center of the capital, the more expensive , Brother Xia, if you want to rent a house, you can ask a dentist to help, as long as you give some money, you can find it soon!"

"Thank you Brother Qu for telling me, I'm going to find a cheap place to settle in the suburbs!"

"I've been renting in a small courtyard at No. 112 Feiyan Road, Yanlai Town, on the outskirts of Shangjing. Brother Xia, if you don't mind, you can come to me. It's okay for us to squeeze together!"

"Stop bothering Brother Qu, I'll find a place to live by myself!"

"Hahaha, let's meet again if we are destined!"

The two bid farewell at the door of the restaurant.

In the afternoon, the street was noisy with people coming and going. After bidding farewell to Qu Youqian at the gate of Liuxian Tower, Xia Pingan touched the last change in his pocket, which was a little more than two gold coins. I found a bookstore, bought a map of the capital city, and then took a small tram in the capital city and wandered around the city.

The capital city is too big, and it is not easy to turn the northern half of the capital city in one day. Xia Pingan just took a look around.

In addition to being large, another feature of this capital city is the large number of people.

When there are too many people, the competition for survival at the bottom will be great. The villas and courtyards where the rich live in the north of the capital are indeed luxurious, but on other streets where ordinary people live, even the stalls selling roasted sweet potatoes and steamed buns are crowded. one.

In the city, there are countless fortune-tellers, stall operators, cart operators, and people who sell all kinds of snacks and make a living in the streets and alleys.

As for where to live, the vast majority of families of four, five, three generations, seven or eight families, five or six families all live in a cramped courtyard.

The most crowded ones are those well-shaped buildings built according to the pattern of courtyards. Those well-shaped buildings in Shangjing have a history of many years. One floor of those well-shaped buildings is equivalent to a courtyard. Tuanzhuan are all people's homes, and there is no open courtyard in the courtyard, so the well-shaped building is even more crowded.

Those wells are the slums in Shangjing.

Those with better family conditions can live in a more relaxed bungalow and a small yard left by their ancestors, but the bungalow and yard are not big.

A family of four who can live in a 100-square-meter one-story house in Shangjing can be considered an upper-middle-class family in Shangjing.

There are even fewer families who can live in one yard. The yards are all old buildings. When the ancestors are separated, one yard becomes the yard of countless families, and it is rare to be quiet. After three or four generations, people living in one yard There are more and more people living in it, and it gets more and more crowded.

Xia Pingan found an intermediary, and asked casually. The house price in the capital city is really exaggerated. A small courtyard in an ordinary location in the city can casually rent more than four gold coins a month. , the location is slightly better and the price of gas supply is more expensive.

The prices of bungalows and apartments in the city are relatively cheap, but that is only relative. Those with better locations are not cheap, and there are many people living in bungalows and apartments, so it is not quiet.

In the end, Xia Pingan spent two days finding a small apartment of more than 50 square meters in a town on the outskirts of Shangjing City to live in.

In addition to the commission paid to the intermediary dental agency, the landlord of the small apartment required a rent deposit of six for the rented small apartment, that is, a payment of six months, and a payment of more than six gold coins at a time, and there was no bargaining.

Xia Pingan didn't have that much money on him, but he still had some bullets he had collected before. Xia Pingan inquired about it. In some gun shops in Shangjing, the summoner's rune bullets can be sold for money. Xia Pingan After getting dozens of rune bullets and selling them for seven or eight gold coins, I paid the rent and settled down for the time being.

On the morning of the second day after he landed, Xia Pingan came to Wuweizhai in Bailing Lane, Shangjing City.

Bailing Lane is near Qianyuan Street in the eastern district of Shangjing. Bailing Lane is quite deep. There are several lively commercial streets around the alley. On one side of Bailing Lane is a municipal park in Shangjing City and on the other side is a theater. A brothel with pink lanterns.

Because there are many women in the brothel, the alley seems to be full of dark fragrances, making people daydream.

Xia Pingan came in from the alley and passed by the brothel. The girls in the brothel leaned on the railing to wink at Xia Pingan and flirt with each other.

"This little brother is so handsome, why don't you come and sit with us, the girls in our yard are the most gentle, considerate and understanding..." The turtle at the entrance of the brothel saw Xia Ping'an, and pulled Xia Ping'an's sleeve, His eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled.

"Can I get credit for being handsome?" Xia Pingan asked.

The smile on Mr. Gui’s face froze, and he quickly let go of Xia Ping’an’s sleeve, “Brother, you are joking. Since ancient times, girls have been doing this kind of business to earn some hard money. Where is there any credit, brother? Do you have the heart?"

"Hey, forget it if you can't pay on credit!" Xia Pingan sighed and continued to walk inside.

After walking for a while, he finally arrived at the door of Wuweizhai. Xia Pingan looked up and found that the so-called Wuweizhai was actually a pawn shop.

On the top of Wuweizhai, there is a signboard of Wuweizhai, and there is a big "Dang" written on the side of the signboard, and the paint is a little faded.

At the entrance of Wuwei Zhai, there is also a pair of couplets. The first couplet is "Money is the courage of a hero", and the second couplet is "Clothes are the hair of a saint".

This couplet, combined with the signboard of Wuweizhai, gives people an indescribable feeling.

interesting!

Just as Xia Pingan was looking at the entrance of Wuweizhai, a customer inside came out shaking his head and sighing, weighing the money bag in his hand while walking, the man saw Xia Pingan, and quickly put away the money bag Get up, for fear of being exposed.

Xia Pingan touched his face before walking in.

Mr. Gui at the entrance of the brothel in the distance saw Xia Ping'an finally walked into the pawn shop. He couldn't help spitting on the ground and cursed, "It turns out that he is a poor man who wants to be beautiful and wants to whore for nothing... "

……

Xia Pingan went up a few steps and walked to the Wuwei Zhai, only to find that the Wuwei Zhai was quite large and there were a few servants inside.

As soon as he entered, a boy of fifteen or sixteen came up to greet him enthusiastically, "Is this guest officer here to pawn something or to redeem it?"

Xia Ping'an's heart moved, "Do you accept everything here?"

"The guest officer was joking, as long as it can be sold for money and does not break the law, we will accept it here!" The boy replied.

"Are the rune bullets closed?"

"Take it!" The boy nodded.

"I'm here to pawn some rune bullets, and see what price you can give here?"

"Guest officer, please follow me!"

Chapter 172 Mission Test

Bypassing a large screen, the servant took Xia Pingan directly to the front hall of Wuweizhai.

The front hall of Wuweizhai is clean and tidy. There are two hanging baskets. There is an ebony table and two stools in the front hall. In front of the front hall is a pawn shop counter as high as a person's neck. A man is standing at the counter. , looking up, standing on tiptoe like a goose.

Behind the counter is a fat middle-aged man in his 40s wearing a pair of tortoiseshell glasses and a black felt hat. The middle-aged man is holding a pocket watch with a silver chain in his hand, and is winding up the pocket watch. He put the pocket watch to his ear and listened, then said condescendingly to the person who came to pawn.

"Guest officer, the cover of your watch is seriously worn out, and it's a little old. The spring inside is a little old, and the elasticity is a little weak. Although the watch can still run, the time difference is estimated to be lower than that of the watch every day. The new watch is much bigger, how about this, I will give you an estimate of 30 silver coins for this watch, according to the rules of our pawn shop, we can only pawn it at 18% of the price, and I will give you [-] silver coins, how about it?"

"This watch is still new. Shopkeeper, look at the painting inside the dial. Inside is a gold-plated cloisonné enamel dial. The chain of this pocket watch is also made of pure silver, but this chain is worth several silver coins. Shopkeeper, how much do you want?" Give me some, these 18 silver coins are too little, when I bought it, it cost me more than 40 silver coins..." The man who pawned the pocket watch begged with a sad face.
