I'm a trainee crew on a pirate ship [West Fantasy]
Chapter 64 Mountains, Divine Trees, Lords
Luo Zhi subconsciously turned his head to look. The door was dark, blocked by figures, and the place near the door was a bit messy.
The implicated drinker quickly got up, his face was unhappy, but he didn't complain, and quickly stepped aside when he got up, hoping not to be implicated further.
The person lying on the ground is wriggling slowly. He is about 30 years old. He has a darker face and pale skin. He seems to often run outside. He is wearing a dark red shirt, gray vest, black trousers, long boots, boots His feet were smeared with hard mud, and his black soft hat fell off to the side, revealing his short chestnut curly hair.
"Cough~" His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, with bright red blood dripping from both sides of his mouth, "You guys...cough cough..."
"Didn't you come here? I kindly gave you a ride. Don't you appreciate me, Naiden?" The person headed by the door walked in slowly.
He looked down at the embarrassed people on the ground, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, his tone was relaxed and cold-blooded.
There were four of them, each of them was strong, tall and mighty. The leading man had a gun on his waist, and the others carried knives or daggers. Some of them wore loose shirts and vests, and some wore simple clothes that were convenient for fighting Tights, their faces are unfriendly and arrogant.
"It's the Monroe gang!"
"damn!"
"Monroe Gang?" Luo Zhi heard the whispers of other guests, and he observed the people at the door with doubts and curiosity.
The people on the ground stared fiercely at the approaching people. Their brown eyes were full of resentment and fear. Seeing the enemy approaching, he struggled to get up, turned his head in a panic, and looked eagerly for help.
He ran to the tavern just to find help.
"Are there mercenaries and adventurers here? I, I am willing to hire you for 5 gold coins... 10 gold coins..." Naiden shouted nervously as he helped the table next to him up with a face of pain.
Seeing that no one responded, he became more anxious and fearful. He looked at the people approaching behind him, and retreated into the tavern. He was not reconciled.
"Let me see who earns these 10 gold coins. Well, Naiden, you still have 10 gold coins? Then you still have to hand it over obediently, but you still owe the cross-border fee, 1000 gold coins." The leading man showed cruelty and Greedy laugh.
He drew out the gun, and the gun twirled nimbly in his hand, like a toy, his cold eyes swept across the room, with a clear warning.
No one spoke in the store, and those who were bragging just now quieted down, not even daring to look at the people who came in.
"These people are so arrogant during the time when magic is prohibited. It seems that their force does not rely on magic, but on weapons?" Luo Zhi thought while chewing the food in his mouth, quietly being a crowd.
"I don't owe you any money..." The man named Naiden gritted his teeth, angry and helpless, he gouged out his enemy fiercely, his eager eyes continued to circulate in the room, clutching his chest anxiously looking for someone willing to help.
Naiden's eyes quickly fell on the two people in wizard robes in front of the bar. When he saw someone looking in this direction, his eyes lit up, and he had a sudden hope, and ran over in a panic.
When Luo Zhi saw someone running towards him, he immediately withdrew his gaze, turned his head and pretended to concentrate on eating, but felt a little nervous.
Naiden came behind Luo Zhi and Sig, and his voice was full of pain and pleading: "Please help me, gentlemen, I am willing to give each of you 12 gold coins..."
Helplessly, Naiden raised the price again. At this time, only money can move people.
12 gold coins, the price is high, the income of the poor in Heilanghai is only about 6 gold coins a year, and the salary of ordinary poor people is only about 2 silver coins a week.
Luo Zhi Jiacai's hands paused, and his eyes under the shadow of the hood showed a look of embarrassment. In the past, he would consider accepting the commission, but now, they want to keep a low profile.
Luo Zhi continued to eat.
"Haha~ Naiden, what's the use of you grabbing the scarecrows indiscriminately? What can they do now as wizards? Even after 30 minutes, there will be wizards on our side," the man with the gun looked at the target contemptuously, "Besides , Why should I give you 30 minutes? I can break your legs and catch you right now, haha, I'm not afraid of your dishonesty."
The gangster man spoke harsh words, but stared vigilantly at the two wizards with their backs turned, his hand holding the gun couldn't help but tighten.
Wizards who cannot use magic are just like ordinary people. Can ordinary people stop bullets?
During the magic prohibition time, the gangsters have always been unscrupulous. Afterwards, they are not afraid of troubles. They have wizards, or hide, and hide back in their territory. They are not afraid of wizards to settle accounts with them. Gangsters are powerful and their backgrounds are not simple.
Hearing the ruthless words of the people behind him, the man named Naiden's heart beat faster because of fear and anxiety: "20 gold coins, 20 gold coins per person, as long as you protect my safety today..."
"Who are they? What grievances do you have with them?" Sieg Cape said while putting down the knife and fork in his hand, with a relaxed tone as if he was chatting.
Luo Zhi turned his head immediately, very surprised, someone who is so helpful like him planned not to meddle in other people's business, the captain is so passionate?
The man holding the gun stopped in his tracks, frowned, and said arrogantly, "Hey! Don't meddle in your own business, I can shoot you into a hornet's nest within 30 minutes."
Seeger's words surprised Naiden, his brown eyes glowed, and he immediately replied: "They are members of the Monroe Gang, and the leader is Mantechu. They owe you 1000 gold coins. They insisted that I broke into their territory." , buying travel expenses indiscriminately, there is no such thing..."
"Bang!" Suddenly, a dull and loud gunshot sounded.
The bullet hit the gun in Mantechu's hand, and with a "snap", his gun was thrown out of his hand, and the gun flew out, hitting the wine of the guests at the table on the left, and the wine glass was directly smashed by the heavy gun.
"Will", "snap", "bang" sounds of metal collisions, and the sound of objects hitting objects, sounded almost at the same time. The guests dispersed at once, some stood against the wall, and some ran to the back door to make room for the battle.
The most interesting gunshots came from the bar.
Naiden was taken aback, and stared at the man covered in a gray-white wizard robe who was still listening carefully to his words. At this moment, he did not know when he was holding a revolver in his right hand, and a puff of blue smoke was emitting from the muzzle of the gun.
Naiden looked in the direction the gun was pointing at, and saw Mantechu holding the gun sluggishly in place, his hand was empty, his right hand trembled slightly, and his tiger's mouth was flushed from the shock.
Luo Zhi was also startled, and looked at the captain in astonishment, very worried.
Why did the captain suddenly attack?You can't use magic, can you?
Um?It doesn't look like a magic gun...
Luo Zhi looked at the bullet that fell on the ground that hit Mantechu's gun, it was an ordinary bullet.
He was relieved.
Luo Zhi forgot for a moment that many pirates were not wizards, and most of their guns were filled with ordinary bullets that did not possess extraordinary power.
The crew of the "Deep Sea Queen" usually use ordinary bullets, and the captain also has an ordinary gun, but Luo Zhi has never seen the captain use it before.
Today, Luo Zhi saw the captain use a pistol for the first time. The captain's marksmanship is very accurate, the speed of shooting the gun is so fast, he is handsome and cool!
"50 gold coins." Sig turned his head slightly, and said indifferently to the sluggish employer next to him, "We each have 50 gold coins, this is the reward I just saved your leg, and protect you for an hour."
Seeger is not discussing, but telling, because he has already done it.He is a captain who personally protects people, so such a little remuneration is already very cheap.
Only then did Naiden come back to his senses, his brown pupils turned slightly, looking at the gangsters and Mantechu's knocked-out gun, with lingering fear in his heart.
He took a deep breath, looked at the gun in the hands of the wizard man in front of him, and nodded without hesitation: "Deal..."
"Donkey's bastard!" At this time, the little leader of the Monroe gang, Mante Qiu, came back to his senses. He clutched his right hand and cursed with pain on his face, it hurts so much.
He was aiming at Naiden just now, and wanted to shoot this guy in the leg. He wanted to take the man back before the end of the magic prohibition, and he couldn't waste time. He didn't expect someone to accept Naiden's commission and hinder him.
"How dare you fight against our Monroe gang," Mantechu raised his eyes, his brown pupils were full of malice, "stab to death these bastards who deserve to be fucked by donkeys!"
"Catch that Naiden guy, as long as he doesn't die."
The others immediately pulled out their knives and rushed towards the bar.
Luo Zhi silently put down the tableware in his hand and sighed. Since the captain accepted the commission, he had to do it. 50 gold coins are also money. After entering the Black Wave Sea, they have been spending money. Some income counts as income.
When three members of the Monroe gang rushed up brandishing their blades, Naiden rushed to the bar between Luo Zhi and Seeger in a hurry, looked left and right at the two temporarily hired bodyguards, and couldn't help worrying.
One of them has a gun, and the other looks like he doesn't, but the revolver has five bullets, which is enough to hit three people. Fortunately, the gangsters don't each have a gun...
not good!
Naiden saw a member of Monroe picking up the gun dropped by their boss, and Mantechu, who was unable to move his right hand, took over the dagger with his left hand. This... the enemy's combat power has not changed.
Naiden was so frightened that he wanted to run, he grabbed the bar and was about to climb in, forgetting that he already had two wizard bodyguards.
Luo Zhi got up, took a big step forward, raised his leg and swept across, the open wizard robe became a long windbreaker, the hem of the windbreaker rotated with the long legs, and a breeze blew up, sweeping towards the head of the thug who rushed up.
The two people who rushed in front were directly kicked in the head by Luo Zhi, and they received a red kick mark on the left side of their faces.
"Boom~" The four bumped into each other, looking very embarrassed.
"Ow~" Mantechu's hand was hit again, and the knife he had just held fell to the ground again. He clutched his right hand tightly and howled in pain.
Luo Zhi stood in front of his employer, revealing a white linen shirt under the open gray and dark wizard robe. At this moment, his skirt fluttered, his body was straight, and the lower half of his face was exposed under the hood, showing a chic and heroic spirit.
Luo Zhi has no pressure at all to deal with these gangsters. He already has physical skills and can fight, but since he learned magic, he has no chance to use kung fu.
After coming to this world, his physical fitness has improved in all aspects, and his strength has greatly increased. Even if he can't use magic, he can easily beat these gangsters.
Luo Zhi raised his head, his eyes were dimly lit in the shadows, he looked at them quietly, without saying a word, his upright and tough posture had the aura of being in charge, no one would touch him employer.
"Don't move." Sig pointed at the gangster with a revolver in his hand, his voice was cold and calm.
"You meddle in the grievances of the Monroe Gang, don't even think about leaving Noam alive..." After experiencing Sig's marksmanship, Mantechu didn't dare to act rashly, but his mouth was full of cruel words.
With the support of his subordinates, Mantechu stood up straight, frowning, staring at the wizard who raised the gun and the wizard who kicked people, his eyes were full of unwillingness and malice.
"Why did you arrest him?" Seeger asked calmly.
Although he was the one who was beaten, Mantechu still issued a warning arrogantly: "It has nothing to do with you, let me say it again, don't meddle in your own business."
Sig turned to Naiden, watching him silently.
Naiden's heart tightened, his body stiffened, and he wanted to refuse to answer, but he still needed the protection of the temporarily hired wizard bodyguards.
He touched his injured face, showing a painful and angry expression: "I accidentally entered their territory, and I didn't have the money to pay a high cross-border fee, so they hunted me down..."
"This guy isn't telling the truth." Luo Zhi knew that this man was avoiding the important things, and the Monroe gang had a tacit understanding with this man not to tell the truth. What were they trying to hide?
At this time, the captain chuckled lightly, and said to Naiden: "You entered the Monroe gang and stole something important from them, or knew some of their secrets, so they hunted you down."
"You said, am I right?"
Seeger's tentative tone revealed a certain meaning.
Naiden was astonished, and his heart was turbulent, with ripples of fear and vigilance.
Did he fall into the hands of the wolf again before he escaped from the tiger's claws?
The faces of Mantechu and the others changed, and they stared at the wizard of unknown origin with vigilance.
Luo Zhi glanced at the captain, and said it was right, they didn't make it clear, because they were worried that others would be greedy.
"Luo Zhi..." Sig Capet called his crew.
"Brother, what are your orders?" Luo Zhi couldn't help becoming mischievous in front of the gangster.
The captain's voice was light and joyful, and Luo Zhi felt that the captain was in a happy mood.
Why is the captain in such a good mood?He had no idea what the captain was thinking.
Sig Capel glanced at Luo Zhi, then looked at Naiden, calmly said: "Search him to see if there is any treasure."
ah!What!Sure enough, he was flanked by a wolf. How could he be so unlucky that he automatically ran into the wolf's mouth!Naiden panicked and subconsciously ran away.
People in the tavern are not surprised, and it is not uncommon for employers to be betrayed by hired people.They also wondered what treasure Naiden had.
"Don't move." Seeger looked at Naiden, his tone relaxed but indifferent, and he shook the gun in his hand.
Naiden was stunned.
The corner of Luo Zhi's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "Captain, are you trying to steal? We're not here to do this kind of thing, are we? The captain is in a good mood because he's about to get someone else's treasure?"
Luo Zhi obeyed and reached out to Naiden without hesitation.
Naiden wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide, and he wanted to resist. He thought he couldn't beat the man who kicked two big men away.
"I, I cooperate with you, we are five or five, no, four or six, I am four and you are six." Seeing Luo Zhi stretching out his hand without hesitation, Naiden became more and more flustered, "Three seven... two eight... ..."
Luo Zhi turned a deaf ear and pressed Naiden's shoulder to search.
At this time, Luo Zhi felt that he was very evil.
The members of the Monroe gang watched intently, and soon Luo Zhi took out a fist-sized object wrapped in a gray cloth from Naiden's waist.
"Oh!" Naiden suddenly became paralyzed, and moaned sadly, with a face full of hopelessness, lying on the table as if his body had been hollowed out.
"Open." Sig glanced at Naiden's pitiful resentment, and ordered his crew indifferently but firmly.
Luo Zhi obediently opened the tightly wrapped cloth, which was covered with mud and wet mud.
There is no matryoshka, and there is a multi-edged green stone lying on the cloth wrapped in two layers. There are winding cracks on the surface, which is very rough. Some parts are wrapped with ordinary stones, and other parts are green and shiny. Shiny, you can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary stone.
Luo Zhi picked up the stone, and told himself inspiredly that it was just mined, unprocessed, and supernatural.
"Naiden, you really stole it, give it to me quickly!" Mantechu stared at the stone, his eyes glowed with greed, and he gritted his teeth and shouted.
"What kind of ore is this?" Luo Zhi glanced at the gangsters, clearly showing doubts and curiosity, and then looked up at the employer.
Naiden ignored the gangster's yelling, and sat weakly on the high chair: "This is, Pandora's Stone."
"Pandora's Stone?!" Luo Zhi, who understood the language, stared at the gadget in his hand in astonishment.
This is Pandora's stone, they are so lucky, so they won the lottery?
Luo Zhi hurriedly looked at the captain. The captain looked at the stone in Luo Zhi's hand, but he was not as excited as Luo Zhi. He thought about it calmly for two seconds, then turned his head and glanced at the people in the room. They were bewildered, curious, and greedy.
Finally, Sig's eyes fell on the red-nosed boss at the bar.
"Do you know this kind of stone, Boss?" Sig Capet asked casually in his usual voice, as if he was not interested in that stone.
Red Nose was startled, paused, then grinned and replied: "Well, there are many ores in the mountains outside Nome City, but I haven't heard of 'Pandora's Stone', only a kind of Rainbow Stone, Simply put, it is a stone of various colors, and it is a supernatural thing of great value."
"Could it be this kind of stone?" Red Nose cast a curious gaze on the small stone in Luo Zhi's hand.
Sig glanced at the green stone and asked the boss again: "Can you trade this kind of thing here?"
Red Nose shook his head: "I only trade magical things below the second level here. For such rare supernatural things, let's go to a big place."
After a pause, the red nose smiled calmly and said: "To be honest, I only see that this is a supernatural thing, but I can't judge its value, and I can't protect it."
Naiden wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, scratched his short hair, and patted the table sadly: "Boss, give me a glass of beer. Only wine and women can comfort me now."
The boss put a glass of rye beer in front of the guest and comforted the guest optimistically: "Don't be sad, buddy, this is just a small episode in life, pray to the sacred tree, you will have good luck tomorrow, and may the sacred tree bless you. "
"One copper coin." The boss added, sympathy is all sympathy, and the business still needs to be done.
The boss's auspicious words didn't work. Naiden took out a copper coin and put it on the table. He picked up the ale dejectedly, and drank it with his head raised, as if he just wanted to get drunk and didn't care about his external affairs.
Luo Zhi was wary of the gangsters who wanted to rush up to snatch it, and handed the Pandora Stone in his hand to the captain.
Sig took the stone, covered it with a cloth after a glance, wrapped it up, and placed it in front of the original owner, watching Naiden silently.
"Ha~" Naiden put down his wine glass and exhaled happily.
He wiped his mouth, his eyes fell on the cloth at hand, he looked at Sig in astonishment, he didn't expect Sig to come back.
Facing Seeger's gaze, Naiden understood what he meant. He picked up the box and said with a hearty smile: "I will tell you all the news I know for free..."
"Very good." Seeger stood up, "Let's get out of here first."
At this time, the feeling of ignorance returned to Luo Zhi's spirit. He knew that the effect of the "General Knowledge Charm" was over. It had been 10 minutes since he entered the city, and there were still 25 minutes left before the magic prohibition could be lifted.
Luo Zhi looked at the captain, and only then did he understand why the captain meddles in his own business.
Compared with the inexplicable "Pandora's Stone" itself, the captain wants to know more about Pandora's Stone, no, it should be about Nome City.
Before Pandora's Stone came on the scene, the captain shot because the gangsters appeared.
The background of gangsters has always been mysterious and easy to understand. The mystery is that they don't know who the boss is, and the easy to understand is that the gang must have something to do with the government.
Perhaps, a certain boss in the gang is a certain nobleman in the city-state.
There are many secrets involved in gangsters, and the information is naturally rich. Seeger and the two are new here, and they don't know anything about this place. If they want to obtain local information, the gangsters are a good object of inquiry.
They are short on time, and they don't have time to slowly approach the gangsters and get close to the gangsters to find out information. The most direct way now is to anger the gangsters, and then ask questions to obtain information for free.
Surprisingly, they got a windfall.
Naiden had no reason not to agree with Seeger's proposal.
A few people from the Monroe gang blocked the way of the three of Sig, and Mantechu said anxiously and fiercely: "Don't let them escape, hand me the green rainbow stone..."
Facing the lost dog, Sig didn't talk nonsense, and shot the Monroe gangster in the foot, "Bang!"
The people of the Monroe gang jumped up in fright and backed away in panic.
When they were in a panic, Luo Zhi went up and kicked one person, aiming at the chin and the back of the head, and they fell to the ground and fainted.
Luo Zhi's strength has not improved by a single bit compared to before, he can easily kick a person away without using much force.
"I'm just a mutant." Luo Zhi thought uncomfortably.
Luo Zhi opened the way ahead, Sig and Naiden followed closely behind, and the three left the tavern smoothly.
Sig moved leisurely and fast with his long legs, and turned to look at Naiden: "Go to a place where you can trade Pandora's Stone, maybe, you have 100 gold coins?"
Naiden smiled bitterly: "Go to trade, or I won't be able to pay your commission."
When mentioning the commission, Naiden was pained, but felt it was worth it. He was still grateful to these two wizards. If it was someone else, they probably wouldn't return his gems.
Naiden put his hands on his chest, looked left and right, bent slightly, and said sincerely, "I am very lucky to meet you, and I admire your kindness."
Naiden turned to the bodyguards and said, "Aren't you from Nome City?"
Seeger said matter-of-factly, "No."
Naiden nodded, and then fulfilled his promise: "There are many ore mountains around Nome City. Many outsiders are famous to come here to pan for gold. The mountains here are also called 'Golden Mountains'. Ha ha, but making a fortune is not easy... ..."
"Those mountains are very dangerous. There are goblins, monsters, and all kinds of ferocious creatures, including animals and plants, that are people-eating plants. Generally, only wizards dare to go in..."
"Hehe, you can ask others to understand these things..."
"I am a local, a person from a slum area. In order to make a living, I teamed up with others to enter the Golden Mountains to find treasures. At first we didn't dare to go deep, we only wandered around the edge, and some of our companions were dragged into the depths by man-eating plants. , that scene is scary just thinking about it..."
"I obtained some valuable things in it, and my life became easier, and I became a wizard. Haha, I'm so lucky, but I'm still only a first-order wizard..."
"Last night, my companions and I ventured deep into the mountains and dug up this stone. This stone is a supernatural thing. We are very excited. The green stone, the green rainbow stone, is the stone of Pandora..."
"I often go to the trading market, and I still know a little about supernatural things. Because the stone has many colors, everyone calls it the Rainbow Stone. When the store owner sells it, the name on the label is 'Pandora's Stone'..."
"No matter what the name is, we just need to know that this stone is very valuable. It is worth at least 1000 gold coins. This stone can allow ordinary people to live a good life for a lifetime, and it can allow me to be promoted to a second-level wizard..."
"Hehe, let's talk about what happened last night. As soon as my companions and I worked hard to cut out the stone, people from the Monroe gang appeared, saying that we crossed the border and broke into their area, and asked us to hand over the treasure..."
"We tried to escape, but my companions were still caught by them. I was the only one who escaped from the mountains. Unexpectedly, I returned to the city. The rats of the Monroe gang did not give up. They blocked me in various trading places, just waiting grab my stone..."
"I can only find a way to protect myself. I plan to sell the stone and buy a second-level potion. After I advance to the second-level, I won't be so worried. Those mice who were fucked by donkeys are not so strong..."
"The guys who robbed are all thugs of the Monroe gang. The boss generally doesn't care what his subordinates do, unless it involves great interests, or the interests of the boss. Therefore, as long as those little mice are beaten and called mother, they will be killed in the future." Don't be afraid of them."
Naiden covered his cheeks and turned into a street while talking. After talking so much, the wound on his face hurt.
Luo Zhi looked at Naiden and then at the captain ignorantly. He couldn't understand and wondered how much useful news Naiden had said.
Sig Capet glanced at Luo Zhi, followed Naiden's pace, and asked, "Rainbow stone, a stone with many colors, is the value of each rainbow stone the same? What about the golden stone?"
Naiden looked at Sig: "Golden stones? I don't know, I haven't seen them, I've only seen green ones, red ones, and black ones..."
"Rainbow stones are hard to find. Every time they are sold, they are sold immediately, sometimes at a high price of 2000 gold coins. It is really enviable..."
"The value of the stone is also determined by the size of the stone. I just found this one. It is of normal size. Hehe, I think it can be sold for about 1200 gold coins."
Seeger asked again: "When were the rules in this city set?"
Naiden frowned slightly, thinking: "It appeared when I was a teenager, um... when I was 19, this rule has existed for 11 years."
At this time, everyone walked into a street, Sigola raised his hat and looked around, and continued with the same tone: "What about your beliefs?"
Naiden turned his head to look at Sig, with a look of expression in his brown pupils: "The sacred tree is our guardian spirit. I have known since I was a child that I should pray to the sacred tree and ask for protection. I have really received divine grace..."
"I was seriously ill when I was young, and my family didn't have money to treat me. I lay down every day and felt very painful. My mother prayed for me over and over again for the protection of the sacred tree and taught me to pray..."
"One day, I remember that it was raining heavily that day. On that day, my body recovered and I could move. Except for hunger, all the ailments in my body disappeared!"
"Praise the sacred tree!" Naiden shook hands on his chest with a devout expression.
Seeing that Naiden suddenly prayed devoutly, Luo Zhi looked at a loss, and was even more curious about what he said. Luo Zhi was very uncomfortable with himself in the "illiterate" state.
Luo Zhi decided to ask the captain to teach him Gulai language when he has time.
Sig asked casually, "Where is that sacred tree?"
Naiden pointed to a distant direction: "It's there, but we can't see it. It is said that there is a magic barrier there, and only the lord can enter."
At this time the sky was darkening, Luo Zhi looked at the direction Naiden pointed, it was dark there, and he couldn't see anything.
Sig looked at the direction Naiden was pointing at, which was the north side: "Is the lord's castle also in that direction?"
Naiden nodded: "Yes."
Sig withdrew his distant gaze, glanced at Naiden, then looked around, and continued to ask: "What is the time of the rules in the city based on, local customs, your beliefs, or the preferences of the makers?"
Naiden shook his head, looked at Sig and Luo Zhi suspiciously: "Is there any problem with this?"
Sig turned his head and looked at Naiden, silently.
Naiden blinked, covered the wound on his face, and said: "Well, there is no oracle about six o'clock in the morning and six o'clock in the evening in the sacred tree, and there is no custom about six o'clock in the local area. I don't care about other things." knew."
"Have you seen the lord? Who can see the lord?" Sig glanced at the children who were trying to get close to them. He waved his hand and threw out a handful of copper coins.
"Ding Dang~" The sound of copper coins falling on the stone road was very crisp.
Luo Zhi glanced at Sig suspiciously, then looked back, and the children behind him immediately bent down and stretched out their hands, grabbing and picking it up.
"Why throw money? If you feel pity for them, it's better to give them directly. The captain has such a bad taste when you throw money away." Luo Zhi looked at Captain Sig and thought to himself, his eyes under the shadow of the hood showed complicated gaze.
"They are thieves." Seeger turned his head and glanced at Luo Zhi, reminding him that there are many people who need to be vigilant.
Thief?Luo Zhi looked back immediately, the figures of those children gradually blurred, they did not follow, the captain stopped them with money.
Naiden was not surprised by Sig's behavior of throwing money, and looked around the people around vigilantly, while answering Sig's question: "Hehe, how could I have seen the lord, I don't know what the lord looks like, I can see you The people who came to the lord were naturally the nobles, and the lord's personal guards, I don't know the rest."
"Look, there is an exchange called 'Blue Rose Magic Book'. There are many extraordinary things in it, as long as you have money, you can buy them." Naiden stopped in his tracks and leaned against a corner of a shop.
He pointed to a shop with several pots of beautiful blue roses in front of it, and said bitterly: "The bastards of the Monroe gang who were fucked by donkeys are also there, and outside the shops on both sides next to the magic book, there are two people walking around. Individuals are their people."
Luo Zhi understood what the employer meant, and took out his pocket watch to see that there were still 15 minutes left.
Seeger looked at the people in front of him, and looked back at Naiden: "They are so persistent, did you really mine your stone?"
Naiden froze and froze for a moment, a flash of embarrassment flashed in his brown pupils, and then he showed a big smile: "Haha, that's not important anymore, the important thing is that the stone is in my hand now, I sold it , can pay your commission, and can also promote me to the second level, making me stronger."
Seeger nodded expressionlessly: "Indeed, that's not important."
Sig continued to ask Naiden: "How old is the lord of Nome City, how long has he been a lord, how strong is he, how much do you know?"
"This..." Naiden looked at Sig in astonishment, frowned, looked embarrassed, and stammered, "It's been a long time... I don't know the exact age of the lord, how can I know, about... 50 years old, definitely After that, I don't know the strength, but it must be high-level, our lord is very strong..."
Seeger's question was beyond the outline, but Naiden was stumped. He froze for a while, unable to express himself clearly.
Scratching his head and covering his face, Naiden calmed down for a few seconds before recovering his words: "Everyone knows about the lord I know. Since I was a child, it seems that the lord has never changed..."
"I'm already 30 years old. In the past 30 years, the city lord has fought wars and expanded the land. Those mountains that everyone often went to take risks were brought down by the city lord when I was young. After that, the city lord was in a mountain range A new castle was built on..."
"The lord has never appeared in front of us civilians. I have never seen him. I don't know anything else." Naiden spread his hands, with a blank, helpless, and ignorant expression on his face.
Seeger's question was something he had never thought about. Now that he was suddenly asked to think about it, he felt his head was knotted and in chaos. It took a lot of mental effort to organize fragmented information in a short period of time, and he felt very tired.
Sig nodded: "The lord has two castles."
"Yes." Naiden looked at Sig suspiciously. What is he doing to inquire about the lord?
Seeger looked at Naiden quietly, the silent eyes made Naiden feel uncomfortable, what else did he want to ask?He doesn't know anything anymore.
A few seconds later, Sig didn't feel embarrassed anymore: "The magic prohibition is over, we will go in."
Naiden immediately breathed a sigh of relief, being questioned by this man made him feel pressured like being interrogated.
After Seeger told Naiden, he also told Luo Zhi.
Luo Zhi nodded, and he looked at the time again, there were still 10 minutes.
Naiden looked at Luo Zhi and knew that he could not speak the ancient language. Naiden looked at the people in front of him, and he couldn't help worrying: "After the ban on magic is over, they also have wizards, and they are quite powerful..."
He looked back and forth between Sig and Luo Zhi, and the brown pupils couldn't help showing doubts and worries. Although they were accurate with marksmanship and strong with fists and kicks, after the magic ban was lifted, what they were looking at was magic.
Sig ignored the employer's doubts, and asked lightly: "How many levels of people know how powerful they are?"
Naiden naturally did not hide the information of the gang: "Their boss is the leader of Mantechu, a fourth-level wizard, I don't know what ability he has, I heard he is a ruthless guy, it will be very miserable if he is caught, it will involve 1000 Gold coins, he will definitely come to share the money, but there are several exchanges in the city, and they guard me scattered, hoping not to meet him."
Sig nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, we will protect you and no one can touch you."
It's only the fourth level, and his magic items can kill the opponent with one hit.
Seeing Seeger so confident, Naiden felt relieved: "At that time, you just need to cover me and enter the magic book room, no one dares to make trouble in the magic book room."
While waiting for the end of the magic prohibition, the three of Sig hid, and Sig simply told Luo Zhi the information Naiden said.
Only then did Luo Zhi feel his head clearer. Recalling the news Naiden gave, he had a better understanding of Nome City, and after careful consideration, he came to a judgment.
Luo Zhi expressed his thoughts to the captain: "The sacred tree is the power of the wood element, and the rainy season may have some benefits for him. At this time, he treats the diseases of the city people to show his status and power as a god. can, and for this gain and strengthen the devotion and loyalty of believers."
"The rules in the city, no one can use magic during the time when magic is prohibited, including the lord. It is the lord who makes the rules, why should the lord ban himself?"
Luo Zhi looked at the captain, and the captain should have realized something.
Sig looked at Luo Zhi with admiration, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "On the other hand, it is precisely because the lord cannot use magic during this period of time that the lord made this rule..."
罗知
The implicated drinker quickly got up, his face was unhappy, but he didn't complain, and quickly stepped aside when he got up, hoping not to be implicated further.
The person lying on the ground is wriggling slowly. He is about 30 years old. He has a darker face and pale skin. He seems to often run outside. He is wearing a dark red shirt, gray vest, black trousers, long boots, boots His feet were smeared with hard mud, and his black soft hat fell off to the side, revealing his short chestnut curly hair.
"Cough~" His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, with bright red blood dripping from both sides of his mouth, "You guys...cough cough..."
"Didn't you come here? I kindly gave you a ride. Don't you appreciate me, Naiden?" The person headed by the door walked in slowly.
He looked down at the embarrassed people on the ground, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, his tone was relaxed and cold-blooded.
There were four of them, each of them was strong, tall and mighty. The leading man had a gun on his waist, and the others carried knives or daggers. Some of them wore loose shirts and vests, and some wore simple clothes that were convenient for fighting Tights, their faces are unfriendly and arrogant.
"It's the Monroe gang!"
"damn!"
"Monroe Gang?" Luo Zhi heard the whispers of other guests, and he observed the people at the door with doubts and curiosity.
The people on the ground stared fiercely at the approaching people. Their brown eyes were full of resentment and fear. Seeing the enemy approaching, he struggled to get up, turned his head in a panic, and looked eagerly for help.
He ran to the tavern just to find help.
"Are there mercenaries and adventurers here? I, I am willing to hire you for 5 gold coins... 10 gold coins..." Naiden shouted nervously as he helped the table next to him up with a face of pain.
Seeing that no one responded, he became more anxious and fearful. He looked at the people approaching behind him, and retreated into the tavern. He was not reconciled.
"Let me see who earns these 10 gold coins. Well, Naiden, you still have 10 gold coins? Then you still have to hand it over obediently, but you still owe the cross-border fee, 1000 gold coins." The leading man showed cruelty and Greedy laugh.
He drew out the gun, and the gun twirled nimbly in his hand, like a toy, his cold eyes swept across the room, with a clear warning.
No one spoke in the store, and those who were bragging just now quieted down, not even daring to look at the people who came in.
"These people are so arrogant during the time when magic is prohibited. It seems that their force does not rely on magic, but on weapons?" Luo Zhi thought while chewing the food in his mouth, quietly being a crowd.
"I don't owe you any money..." The man named Naiden gritted his teeth, angry and helpless, he gouged out his enemy fiercely, his eager eyes continued to circulate in the room, clutching his chest anxiously looking for someone willing to help.
Naiden's eyes quickly fell on the two people in wizard robes in front of the bar. When he saw someone looking in this direction, his eyes lit up, and he had a sudden hope, and ran over in a panic.
When Luo Zhi saw someone running towards him, he immediately withdrew his gaze, turned his head and pretended to concentrate on eating, but felt a little nervous.
Naiden came behind Luo Zhi and Sig, and his voice was full of pain and pleading: "Please help me, gentlemen, I am willing to give each of you 12 gold coins..."
Helplessly, Naiden raised the price again. At this time, only money can move people.
12 gold coins, the price is high, the income of the poor in Heilanghai is only about 6 gold coins a year, and the salary of ordinary poor people is only about 2 silver coins a week.
Luo Zhi Jiacai's hands paused, and his eyes under the shadow of the hood showed a look of embarrassment. In the past, he would consider accepting the commission, but now, they want to keep a low profile.
Luo Zhi continued to eat.
"Haha~ Naiden, what's the use of you grabbing the scarecrows indiscriminately? What can they do now as wizards? Even after 30 minutes, there will be wizards on our side," the man with the gun looked at the target contemptuously, "Besides , Why should I give you 30 minutes? I can break your legs and catch you right now, haha, I'm not afraid of your dishonesty."
The gangster man spoke harsh words, but stared vigilantly at the two wizards with their backs turned, his hand holding the gun couldn't help but tighten.
Wizards who cannot use magic are just like ordinary people. Can ordinary people stop bullets?
During the magic prohibition time, the gangsters have always been unscrupulous. Afterwards, they are not afraid of troubles. They have wizards, or hide, and hide back in their territory. They are not afraid of wizards to settle accounts with them. Gangsters are powerful and their backgrounds are not simple.
Hearing the ruthless words of the people behind him, the man named Naiden's heart beat faster because of fear and anxiety: "20 gold coins, 20 gold coins per person, as long as you protect my safety today..."
"Who are they? What grievances do you have with them?" Sieg Cape said while putting down the knife and fork in his hand, with a relaxed tone as if he was chatting.
Luo Zhi turned his head immediately, very surprised, someone who is so helpful like him planned not to meddle in other people's business, the captain is so passionate?
The man holding the gun stopped in his tracks, frowned, and said arrogantly, "Hey! Don't meddle in your own business, I can shoot you into a hornet's nest within 30 minutes."
Seeger's words surprised Naiden, his brown eyes glowed, and he immediately replied: "They are members of the Monroe Gang, and the leader is Mantechu. They owe you 1000 gold coins. They insisted that I broke into their territory." , buying travel expenses indiscriminately, there is no such thing..."
"Bang!" Suddenly, a dull and loud gunshot sounded.
The bullet hit the gun in Mantechu's hand, and with a "snap", his gun was thrown out of his hand, and the gun flew out, hitting the wine of the guests at the table on the left, and the wine glass was directly smashed by the heavy gun.
"Will", "snap", "bang" sounds of metal collisions, and the sound of objects hitting objects, sounded almost at the same time. The guests dispersed at once, some stood against the wall, and some ran to the back door to make room for the battle.
The most interesting gunshots came from the bar.
Naiden was taken aback, and stared at the man covered in a gray-white wizard robe who was still listening carefully to his words. At this moment, he did not know when he was holding a revolver in his right hand, and a puff of blue smoke was emitting from the muzzle of the gun.
Naiden looked in the direction the gun was pointing at, and saw Mantechu holding the gun sluggishly in place, his hand was empty, his right hand trembled slightly, and his tiger's mouth was flushed from the shock.
Luo Zhi was also startled, and looked at the captain in astonishment, very worried.
Why did the captain suddenly attack?You can't use magic, can you?
Um?It doesn't look like a magic gun...
Luo Zhi looked at the bullet that fell on the ground that hit Mantechu's gun, it was an ordinary bullet.
He was relieved.
Luo Zhi forgot for a moment that many pirates were not wizards, and most of their guns were filled with ordinary bullets that did not possess extraordinary power.
The crew of the "Deep Sea Queen" usually use ordinary bullets, and the captain also has an ordinary gun, but Luo Zhi has never seen the captain use it before.
Today, Luo Zhi saw the captain use a pistol for the first time. The captain's marksmanship is very accurate, the speed of shooting the gun is so fast, he is handsome and cool!
"50 gold coins." Sig turned his head slightly, and said indifferently to the sluggish employer next to him, "We each have 50 gold coins, this is the reward I just saved your leg, and protect you for an hour."
Seeger is not discussing, but telling, because he has already done it.He is a captain who personally protects people, so such a little remuneration is already very cheap.
Only then did Naiden come back to his senses, his brown pupils turned slightly, looking at the gangsters and Mantechu's knocked-out gun, with lingering fear in his heart.
He took a deep breath, looked at the gun in the hands of the wizard man in front of him, and nodded without hesitation: "Deal..."
"Donkey's bastard!" At this time, the little leader of the Monroe gang, Mante Qiu, came back to his senses. He clutched his right hand and cursed with pain on his face, it hurts so much.
He was aiming at Naiden just now, and wanted to shoot this guy in the leg. He wanted to take the man back before the end of the magic prohibition, and he couldn't waste time. He didn't expect someone to accept Naiden's commission and hinder him.
"How dare you fight against our Monroe gang," Mantechu raised his eyes, his brown pupils were full of malice, "stab to death these bastards who deserve to be fucked by donkeys!"
"Catch that Naiden guy, as long as he doesn't die."
The others immediately pulled out their knives and rushed towards the bar.
Luo Zhi silently put down the tableware in his hand and sighed. Since the captain accepted the commission, he had to do it. 50 gold coins are also money. After entering the Black Wave Sea, they have been spending money. Some income counts as income.
When three members of the Monroe gang rushed up brandishing their blades, Naiden rushed to the bar between Luo Zhi and Seeger in a hurry, looked left and right at the two temporarily hired bodyguards, and couldn't help worrying.
One of them has a gun, and the other looks like he doesn't, but the revolver has five bullets, which is enough to hit three people. Fortunately, the gangsters don't each have a gun...
not good!
Naiden saw a member of Monroe picking up the gun dropped by their boss, and Mantechu, who was unable to move his right hand, took over the dagger with his left hand. This... the enemy's combat power has not changed.
Naiden was so frightened that he wanted to run, he grabbed the bar and was about to climb in, forgetting that he already had two wizard bodyguards.
Luo Zhi got up, took a big step forward, raised his leg and swept across, the open wizard robe became a long windbreaker, the hem of the windbreaker rotated with the long legs, and a breeze blew up, sweeping towards the head of the thug who rushed up.
The two people who rushed in front were directly kicked in the head by Luo Zhi, and they received a red kick mark on the left side of their faces.
"Boom~" The four bumped into each other, looking very embarrassed.
"Ow~" Mantechu's hand was hit again, and the knife he had just held fell to the ground again. He clutched his right hand tightly and howled in pain.
Luo Zhi stood in front of his employer, revealing a white linen shirt under the open gray and dark wizard robe. At this moment, his skirt fluttered, his body was straight, and the lower half of his face was exposed under the hood, showing a chic and heroic spirit.
Luo Zhi has no pressure at all to deal with these gangsters. He already has physical skills and can fight, but since he learned magic, he has no chance to use kung fu.
After coming to this world, his physical fitness has improved in all aspects, and his strength has greatly increased. Even if he can't use magic, he can easily beat these gangsters.
Luo Zhi raised his head, his eyes were dimly lit in the shadows, he looked at them quietly, without saying a word, his upright and tough posture had the aura of being in charge, no one would touch him employer.
"Don't move." Sig pointed at the gangster with a revolver in his hand, his voice was cold and calm.
"You meddle in the grievances of the Monroe Gang, don't even think about leaving Noam alive..." After experiencing Sig's marksmanship, Mantechu didn't dare to act rashly, but his mouth was full of cruel words.
With the support of his subordinates, Mantechu stood up straight, frowning, staring at the wizard who raised the gun and the wizard who kicked people, his eyes were full of unwillingness and malice.
"Why did you arrest him?" Seeger asked calmly.
Although he was the one who was beaten, Mantechu still issued a warning arrogantly: "It has nothing to do with you, let me say it again, don't meddle in your own business."
Sig turned to Naiden, watching him silently.
Naiden's heart tightened, his body stiffened, and he wanted to refuse to answer, but he still needed the protection of the temporarily hired wizard bodyguards.
He touched his injured face, showing a painful and angry expression: "I accidentally entered their territory, and I didn't have the money to pay a high cross-border fee, so they hunted me down..."
"This guy isn't telling the truth." Luo Zhi knew that this man was avoiding the important things, and the Monroe gang had a tacit understanding with this man not to tell the truth. What were they trying to hide?
At this time, the captain chuckled lightly, and said to Naiden: "You entered the Monroe gang and stole something important from them, or knew some of their secrets, so they hunted you down."
"You said, am I right?"
Seeger's tentative tone revealed a certain meaning.
Naiden was astonished, and his heart was turbulent, with ripples of fear and vigilance.
Did he fall into the hands of the wolf again before he escaped from the tiger's claws?
The faces of Mantechu and the others changed, and they stared at the wizard of unknown origin with vigilance.
Luo Zhi glanced at the captain, and said it was right, they didn't make it clear, because they were worried that others would be greedy.
"Luo Zhi..." Sig Capet called his crew.
"Brother, what are your orders?" Luo Zhi couldn't help becoming mischievous in front of the gangster.
The captain's voice was light and joyful, and Luo Zhi felt that the captain was in a happy mood.
Why is the captain in such a good mood?He had no idea what the captain was thinking.
Sig Capel glanced at Luo Zhi, then looked at Naiden, calmly said: "Search him to see if there is any treasure."
ah!What!Sure enough, he was flanked by a wolf. How could he be so unlucky that he automatically ran into the wolf's mouth!Naiden panicked and subconsciously ran away.
People in the tavern are not surprised, and it is not uncommon for employers to be betrayed by hired people.They also wondered what treasure Naiden had.
"Don't move." Seeger looked at Naiden, his tone relaxed but indifferent, and he shook the gun in his hand.
Naiden was stunned.
The corner of Luo Zhi's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "Captain, are you trying to steal? We're not here to do this kind of thing, are we? The captain is in a good mood because he's about to get someone else's treasure?"
Luo Zhi obeyed and reached out to Naiden without hesitation.
Naiden wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide, and he wanted to resist. He thought he couldn't beat the man who kicked two big men away.
"I, I cooperate with you, we are five or five, no, four or six, I am four and you are six." Seeing Luo Zhi stretching out his hand without hesitation, Naiden became more and more flustered, "Three seven... two eight... ..."
Luo Zhi turned a deaf ear and pressed Naiden's shoulder to search.
At this time, Luo Zhi felt that he was very evil.
The members of the Monroe gang watched intently, and soon Luo Zhi took out a fist-sized object wrapped in a gray cloth from Naiden's waist.
"Oh!" Naiden suddenly became paralyzed, and moaned sadly, with a face full of hopelessness, lying on the table as if his body had been hollowed out.
"Open." Sig glanced at Naiden's pitiful resentment, and ordered his crew indifferently but firmly.
Luo Zhi obediently opened the tightly wrapped cloth, which was covered with mud and wet mud.
There is no matryoshka, and there is a multi-edged green stone lying on the cloth wrapped in two layers. There are winding cracks on the surface, which is very rough. Some parts are wrapped with ordinary stones, and other parts are green and shiny. Shiny, you can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary stone.
Luo Zhi picked up the stone, and told himself inspiredly that it was just mined, unprocessed, and supernatural.
"Naiden, you really stole it, give it to me quickly!" Mantechu stared at the stone, his eyes glowed with greed, and he gritted his teeth and shouted.
"What kind of ore is this?" Luo Zhi glanced at the gangsters, clearly showing doubts and curiosity, and then looked up at the employer.
Naiden ignored the gangster's yelling, and sat weakly on the high chair: "This is, Pandora's Stone."
"Pandora's Stone?!" Luo Zhi, who understood the language, stared at the gadget in his hand in astonishment.
This is Pandora's stone, they are so lucky, so they won the lottery?
Luo Zhi hurriedly looked at the captain. The captain looked at the stone in Luo Zhi's hand, but he was not as excited as Luo Zhi. He thought about it calmly for two seconds, then turned his head and glanced at the people in the room. They were bewildered, curious, and greedy.
Finally, Sig's eyes fell on the red-nosed boss at the bar.
"Do you know this kind of stone, Boss?" Sig Capet asked casually in his usual voice, as if he was not interested in that stone.
Red Nose was startled, paused, then grinned and replied: "Well, there are many ores in the mountains outside Nome City, but I haven't heard of 'Pandora's Stone', only a kind of Rainbow Stone, Simply put, it is a stone of various colors, and it is a supernatural thing of great value."
"Could it be this kind of stone?" Red Nose cast a curious gaze on the small stone in Luo Zhi's hand.
Sig glanced at the green stone and asked the boss again: "Can you trade this kind of thing here?"
Red Nose shook his head: "I only trade magical things below the second level here. For such rare supernatural things, let's go to a big place."
After a pause, the red nose smiled calmly and said: "To be honest, I only see that this is a supernatural thing, but I can't judge its value, and I can't protect it."
Naiden wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, scratched his short hair, and patted the table sadly: "Boss, give me a glass of beer. Only wine and women can comfort me now."
The boss put a glass of rye beer in front of the guest and comforted the guest optimistically: "Don't be sad, buddy, this is just a small episode in life, pray to the sacred tree, you will have good luck tomorrow, and may the sacred tree bless you. "
"One copper coin." The boss added, sympathy is all sympathy, and the business still needs to be done.
The boss's auspicious words didn't work. Naiden took out a copper coin and put it on the table. He picked up the ale dejectedly, and drank it with his head raised, as if he just wanted to get drunk and didn't care about his external affairs.
Luo Zhi was wary of the gangsters who wanted to rush up to snatch it, and handed the Pandora Stone in his hand to the captain.
Sig took the stone, covered it with a cloth after a glance, wrapped it up, and placed it in front of the original owner, watching Naiden silently.
"Ha~" Naiden put down his wine glass and exhaled happily.
He wiped his mouth, his eyes fell on the cloth at hand, he looked at Sig in astonishment, he didn't expect Sig to come back.
Facing Seeger's gaze, Naiden understood what he meant. He picked up the box and said with a hearty smile: "I will tell you all the news I know for free..."
"Very good." Seeger stood up, "Let's get out of here first."
At this time, the feeling of ignorance returned to Luo Zhi's spirit. He knew that the effect of the "General Knowledge Charm" was over. It had been 10 minutes since he entered the city, and there were still 25 minutes left before the magic prohibition could be lifted.
Luo Zhi looked at the captain, and only then did he understand why the captain meddles in his own business.
Compared with the inexplicable "Pandora's Stone" itself, the captain wants to know more about Pandora's Stone, no, it should be about Nome City.
Before Pandora's Stone came on the scene, the captain shot because the gangsters appeared.
The background of gangsters has always been mysterious and easy to understand. The mystery is that they don't know who the boss is, and the easy to understand is that the gang must have something to do with the government.
Perhaps, a certain boss in the gang is a certain nobleman in the city-state.
There are many secrets involved in gangsters, and the information is naturally rich. Seeger and the two are new here, and they don't know anything about this place. If they want to obtain local information, the gangsters are a good object of inquiry.
They are short on time, and they don't have time to slowly approach the gangsters and get close to the gangsters to find out information. The most direct way now is to anger the gangsters, and then ask questions to obtain information for free.
Surprisingly, they got a windfall.
Naiden had no reason not to agree with Seeger's proposal.
A few people from the Monroe gang blocked the way of the three of Sig, and Mantechu said anxiously and fiercely: "Don't let them escape, hand me the green rainbow stone..."
Facing the lost dog, Sig didn't talk nonsense, and shot the Monroe gangster in the foot, "Bang!"
The people of the Monroe gang jumped up in fright and backed away in panic.
When they were in a panic, Luo Zhi went up and kicked one person, aiming at the chin and the back of the head, and they fell to the ground and fainted.
Luo Zhi's strength has not improved by a single bit compared to before, he can easily kick a person away without using much force.
"I'm just a mutant." Luo Zhi thought uncomfortably.
Luo Zhi opened the way ahead, Sig and Naiden followed closely behind, and the three left the tavern smoothly.
Sig moved leisurely and fast with his long legs, and turned to look at Naiden: "Go to a place where you can trade Pandora's Stone, maybe, you have 100 gold coins?"
Naiden smiled bitterly: "Go to trade, or I won't be able to pay your commission."
When mentioning the commission, Naiden was pained, but felt it was worth it. He was still grateful to these two wizards. If it was someone else, they probably wouldn't return his gems.
Naiden put his hands on his chest, looked left and right, bent slightly, and said sincerely, "I am very lucky to meet you, and I admire your kindness."
Naiden turned to the bodyguards and said, "Aren't you from Nome City?"
Seeger said matter-of-factly, "No."
Naiden nodded, and then fulfilled his promise: "There are many ore mountains around Nome City. Many outsiders are famous to come here to pan for gold. The mountains here are also called 'Golden Mountains'. Ha ha, but making a fortune is not easy... ..."
"Those mountains are very dangerous. There are goblins, monsters, and all kinds of ferocious creatures, including animals and plants, that are people-eating plants. Generally, only wizards dare to go in..."
"Hehe, you can ask others to understand these things..."
"I am a local, a person from a slum area. In order to make a living, I teamed up with others to enter the Golden Mountains to find treasures. At first we didn't dare to go deep, we only wandered around the edge, and some of our companions were dragged into the depths by man-eating plants. , that scene is scary just thinking about it..."
"I obtained some valuable things in it, and my life became easier, and I became a wizard. Haha, I'm so lucky, but I'm still only a first-order wizard..."
"Last night, my companions and I ventured deep into the mountains and dug up this stone. This stone is a supernatural thing. We are very excited. The green stone, the green rainbow stone, is the stone of Pandora..."
"I often go to the trading market, and I still know a little about supernatural things. Because the stone has many colors, everyone calls it the Rainbow Stone. When the store owner sells it, the name on the label is 'Pandora's Stone'..."
"No matter what the name is, we just need to know that this stone is very valuable. It is worth at least 1000 gold coins. This stone can allow ordinary people to live a good life for a lifetime, and it can allow me to be promoted to a second-level wizard..."
"Hehe, let's talk about what happened last night. As soon as my companions and I worked hard to cut out the stone, people from the Monroe gang appeared, saying that we crossed the border and broke into their area, and asked us to hand over the treasure..."
"We tried to escape, but my companions were still caught by them. I was the only one who escaped from the mountains. Unexpectedly, I returned to the city. The rats of the Monroe gang did not give up. They blocked me in various trading places, just waiting grab my stone..."
"I can only find a way to protect myself. I plan to sell the stone and buy a second-level potion. After I advance to the second-level, I won't be so worried. Those mice who were fucked by donkeys are not so strong..."
"The guys who robbed are all thugs of the Monroe gang. The boss generally doesn't care what his subordinates do, unless it involves great interests, or the interests of the boss. Therefore, as long as those little mice are beaten and called mother, they will be killed in the future." Don't be afraid of them."
Naiden covered his cheeks and turned into a street while talking. After talking so much, the wound on his face hurt.
Luo Zhi looked at Naiden and then at the captain ignorantly. He couldn't understand and wondered how much useful news Naiden had said.
Sig Capet glanced at Luo Zhi, followed Naiden's pace, and asked, "Rainbow stone, a stone with many colors, is the value of each rainbow stone the same? What about the golden stone?"
Naiden looked at Sig: "Golden stones? I don't know, I haven't seen them, I've only seen green ones, red ones, and black ones..."
"Rainbow stones are hard to find. Every time they are sold, they are sold immediately, sometimes at a high price of 2000 gold coins. It is really enviable..."
"The value of the stone is also determined by the size of the stone. I just found this one. It is of normal size. Hehe, I think it can be sold for about 1200 gold coins."
Seeger asked again: "When were the rules in this city set?"
Naiden frowned slightly, thinking: "It appeared when I was a teenager, um... when I was 19, this rule has existed for 11 years."
At this time, everyone walked into a street, Sigola raised his hat and looked around, and continued with the same tone: "What about your beliefs?"
Naiden turned his head to look at Sig, with a look of expression in his brown pupils: "The sacred tree is our guardian spirit. I have known since I was a child that I should pray to the sacred tree and ask for protection. I have really received divine grace..."
"I was seriously ill when I was young, and my family didn't have money to treat me. I lay down every day and felt very painful. My mother prayed for me over and over again for the protection of the sacred tree and taught me to pray..."
"One day, I remember that it was raining heavily that day. On that day, my body recovered and I could move. Except for hunger, all the ailments in my body disappeared!"
"Praise the sacred tree!" Naiden shook hands on his chest with a devout expression.
Seeing that Naiden suddenly prayed devoutly, Luo Zhi looked at a loss, and was even more curious about what he said. Luo Zhi was very uncomfortable with himself in the "illiterate" state.
Luo Zhi decided to ask the captain to teach him Gulai language when he has time.
Sig asked casually, "Where is that sacred tree?"
Naiden pointed to a distant direction: "It's there, but we can't see it. It is said that there is a magic barrier there, and only the lord can enter."
At this time the sky was darkening, Luo Zhi looked at the direction Naiden pointed, it was dark there, and he couldn't see anything.
Sig looked at the direction Naiden was pointing at, which was the north side: "Is the lord's castle also in that direction?"
Naiden nodded: "Yes."
Sig withdrew his distant gaze, glanced at Naiden, then looked around, and continued to ask: "What is the time of the rules in the city based on, local customs, your beliefs, or the preferences of the makers?"
Naiden shook his head, looked at Sig and Luo Zhi suspiciously: "Is there any problem with this?"
Sig turned his head and looked at Naiden, silently.
Naiden blinked, covered the wound on his face, and said: "Well, there is no oracle about six o'clock in the morning and six o'clock in the evening in the sacred tree, and there is no custom about six o'clock in the local area. I don't care about other things." knew."
"Have you seen the lord? Who can see the lord?" Sig glanced at the children who were trying to get close to them. He waved his hand and threw out a handful of copper coins.
"Ding Dang~" The sound of copper coins falling on the stone road was very crisp.
Luo Zhi glanced at Sig suspiciously, then looked back, and the children behind him immediately bent down and stretched out their hands, grabbing and picking it up.
"Why throw money? If you feel pity for them, it's better to give them directly. The captain has such a bad taste when you throw money away." Luo Zhi looked at Captain Sig and thought to himself, his eyes under the shadow of the hood showed complicated gaze.
"They are thieves." Seeger turned his head and glanced at Luo Zhi, reminding him that there are many people who need to be vigilant.
Thief?Luo Zhi looked back immediately, the figures of those children gradually blurred, they did not follow, the captain stopped them with money.
Naiden was not surprised by Sig's behavior of throwing money, and looked around the people around vigilantly, while answering Sig's question: "Hehe, how could I have seen the lord, I don't know what the lord looks like, I can see you The people who came to the lord were naturally the nobles, and the lord's personal guards, I don't know the rest."
"Look, there is an exchange called 'Blue Rose Magic Book'. There are many extraordinary things in it, as long as you have money, you can buy them." Naiden stopped in his tracks and leaned against a corner of a shop.
He pointed to a shop with several pots of beautiful blue roses in front of it, and said bitterly: "The bastards of the Monroe gang who were fucked by donkeys are also there, and outside the shops on both sides next to the magic book, there are two people walking around. Individuals are their people."
Luo Zhi understood what the employer meant, and took out his pocket watch to see that there were still 15 minutes left.
Seeger looked at the people in front of him, and looked back at Naiden: "They are so persistent, did you really mine your stone?"
Naiden froze and froze for a moment, a flash of embarrassment flashed in his brown pupils, and then he showed a big smile: "Haha, that's not important anymore, the important thing is that the stone is in my hand now, I sold it , can pay your commission, and can also promote me to the second level, making me stronger."
Seeger nodded expressionlessly: "Indeed, that's not important."
Sig continued to ask Naiden: "How old is the lord of Nome City, how long has he been a lord, how strong is he, how much do you know?"
"This..." Naiden looked at Sig in astonishment, frowned, looked embarrassed, and stammered, "It's been a long time... I don't know the exact age of the lord, how can I know, about... 50 years old, definitely After that, I don't know the strength, but it must be high-level, our lord is very strong..."
Seeger's question was beyond the outline, but Naiden was stumped. He froze for a while, unable to express himself clearly.
Scratching his head and covering his face, Naiden calmed down for a few seconds before recovering his words: "Everyone knows about the lord I know. Since I was a child, it seems that the lord has never changed..."
"I'm already 30 years old. In the past 30 years, the city lord has fought wars and expanded the land. Those mountains that everyone often went to take risks were brought down by the city lord when I was young. After that, the city lord was in a mountain range A new castle was built on..."
"The lord has never appeared in front of us civilians. I have never seen him. I don't know anything else." Naiden spread his hands, with a blank, helpless, and ignorant expression on his face.
Seeger's question was something he had never thought about. Now that he was suddenly asked to think about it, he felt his head was knotted and in chaos. It took a lot of mental effort to organize fragmented information in a short period of time, and he felt very tired.
Sig nodded: "The lord has two castles."
"Yes." Naiden looked at Sig suspiciously. What is he doing to inquire about the lord?
Seeger looked at Naiden quietly, the silent eyes made Naiden feel uncomfortable, what else did he want to ask?He doesn't know anything anymore.
A few seconds later, Sig didn't feel embarrassed anymore: "The magic prohibition is over, we will go in."
Naiden immediately breathed a sigh of relief, being questioned by this man made him feel pressured like being interrogated.
After Seeger told Naiden, he also told Luo Zhi.
Luo Zhi nodded, and he looked at the time again, there were still 10 minutes.
Naiden looked at Luo Zhi and knew that he could not speak the ancient language. Naiden looked at the people in front of him, and he couldn't help worrying: "After the ban on magic is over, they also have wizards, and they are quite powerful..."
He looked back and forth between Sig and Luo Zhi, and the brown pupils couldn't help showing doubts and worries. Although they were accurate with marksmanship and strong with fists and kicks, after the magic ban was lifted, what they were looking at was magic.
Sig ignored the employer's doubts, and asked lightly: "How many levels of people know how powerful they are?"
Naiden naturally did not hide the information of the gang: "Their boss is the leader of Mantechu, a fourth-level wizard, I don't know what ability he has, I heard he is a ruthless guy, it will be very miserable if he is caught, it will involve 1000 Gold coins, he will definitely come to share the money, but there are several exchanges in the city, and they guard me scattered, hoping not to meet him."
Sig nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, we will protect you and no one can touch you."
It's only the fourth level, and his magic items can kill the opponent with one hit.
Seeing Seeger so confident, Naiden felt relieved: "At that time, you just need to cover me and enter the magic book room, no one dares to make trouble in the magic book room."
While waiting for the end of the magic prohibition, the three of Sig hid, and Sig simply told Luo Zhi the information Naiden said.
Only then did Luo Zhi feel his head clearer. Recalling the news Naiden gave, he had a better understanding of Nome City, and after careful consideration, he came to a judgment.
Luo Zhi expressed his thoughts to the captain: "The sacred tree is the power of the wood element, and the rainy season may have some benefits for him. At this time, he treats the diseases of the city people to show his status and power as a god. can, and for this gain and strengthen the devotion and loyalty of believers."
"The rules in the city, no one can use magic during the time when magic is prohibited, including the lord. It is the lord who makes the rules, why should the lord ban himself?"
Luo Zhi looked at the captain, and the captain should have realized something.
Sig looked at Luo Zhi with admiration, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "On the other hand, it is precisely because the lord cannot use magic during this period of time that the lord made this rule..."
