The mage in the late Qing Dynasty
Chapter 1150: Enemy at the Gate
What interested him most was Birdman's pocket technology.
"How much?"
The businessman bared his big yellow teeth and said, "One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins."
Zhao Chuanxin reached in and touched it. There was only half a meter square space: "Why have prices increased so much?"
"Sergeant, you don't know something. Birdman's pocket technology has never been spread to the outside world. This was the war between the nine tribes in the Shadow Forest. The trophies collected by other tribes were sold and sold. They were rare and very precious. What I sold was relatively cheap. Someone sells it more expensively.”
Zhao Chuan, a player with a full salary but unable to get a hundred gold coins in his pocket, happily bargained with the businessman: "Cheaper."
The businessman saw that he was wearing a blue robe and asked, "Are all the pilgrims so rich?"
You are just a blue-robed sergeant, but you still want to develop pocket technology?
Zhao Chuanxin took out the tobacco leaves and rolled them, licked them with his tongue and lit them: "There are still many things in this world that money cannot solve. I wonder if you have any? Maybe I can help."
The businessman sneered when he heard this and said nothing.
Obviously, Zhao Chuanxin's status as a blue-robed sergeant made him sneer.
Zhao Chuanxin held a cigarette in his mouth and said cheerfully: "Let's talk about it. Being idle is also idle."
The businessman was irritated by him, scratched his neck and said: "Well, in the ghost city, there is a necromancer called Bone Skewer. He always carries a bone staff with him. If you can bring that to me, I will give him the Pocket Technology for you."
Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes: "It sounds very powerful. I'm afraid one pocket technology alone is not enough, right?"
"Then what else do you want?"
Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the cargo in the car and said, "I want these steel materials, round-head bullets, seasonings, and these tobacco leaves."
"Hmph, okay! But, can you get the bone staff?"
"Tell me the address and I will exchange it with you tomorrow."
The army will be stationed for a day to rest and shop.
The pilgrims had wandered in the wilderness for so long that they were so enthusiastic when they saw the caravan that they couldn't move at all.
Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin was serious, the businessman reminded him: "Jing Gu is a dangerous mage who kills people without blinking an eye. He always carries all kinds of poisons with him and masters the most vicious and mysterious necromancy skills. You can go, but I hope you won't provoke me." trouble……"
"Dangerous? He kills without blinking an eye? What a coincidence, so do I." Zhao Chuanxin took out a military map and asked the businessman to mark the address.
He said hello to Tiedan, left the team alone, took a detour up the mountain, and flew over the ridge. It took a day's march, but they arrived in two hours.
Ghost Canyon is foggy all year round, no matter whether it is cold or hot.
It is adjacent to the border of Shadow Forest and Tundra and is an important transportation thoroughfare.
Zhao Chuanxin waited for the sky to get dark on the top of the mountain, roasted a rabbit and ate it, buried the bonfire with soil, and then set off for the Ghost City.
The ghost city is built next to a canyon and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The city surrounded the entire canyon.
Zhao Chuanxin simply jumped into the city from the steep mountain wall to avoid the guards.
Xingyue told him: "Be careful, there is someone coming from the eleven o'clock direction."
Zhao Chuanxin dodged ahead of time.
"There's someone coming from the two o'clock direction."
"Someone is passing by at seven o'clock."
It didn't take long for Zhao Chuanxin to arrive at the address mentioned by the businessman.
It was a grand villa with pointed arches and large windows painted with disturbing stained glass.
There are pointed ribbed vaults, light and slender beams, and buttresses are used to share the pressure of the main wall. There are a large number of reliefs on the exterior walls, all of which are pictures of hideous-looking ghosts and monsters.
Zhao Chuanxin is quite accomplished in architecture, but he feels that the form of this building is strange and the style is eerie and eerie, which ordinary people may not be able to tolerate.
Because there was a guard in a black cloak at the gate on the first floor, he went straight to the second floor, pushed open the window, and finally found an unlocked window.
After entering the villa, Xingyue told him: "The thing you are looking for is in the room at the end of the corridor on the second floor. However, the bone staff is carried by its owner, so it is difficult to take it away without anyone noticing. It is better to go to the room next to it. There are many books in the study room. Let’s look for clues and wait for the owner to go to bed.”
Zhao Chuanxin has two goals: to regulate the flow of time and to leave the world of the "Old God Code".
The clues for leaving are very important, and a lot of information needs to be consulted.
He pushed the door open, and the door's hinges creaked slightly.
Zhao Chuanxin waited carefully, and after there was no movement, he gently and slowly pushed it inward.
The door opened and he got in. Sure enough, there were several rows of bookshelves. Heavy tomes were neatly arranged and the bookshelves were spotless.
Zhao Chuanxin took out a book and flipped through it quickly.
After flipping through dozens of books, Xingyue said: "Here are records about the clock of order. The pointer of order can establish a directional path. The pendulum of order can adjust the flow rate of time. The dial of order represents space. The string of order is an energy amplifier. . The key to your ability to go back is the order pendulum. "
"Hot!" Zhao Chuanxin cursed: "So, the String of Order alone can't do anything?"
If the String of Order really exists in Ghost City, the String of Order cannot help him achieve any of his goals.
"Otherwise." Xingyue said: "It is recorded in the book that no matter what kind, the string of order, the pointer of order, and the pendulum of order are the three major components of the order clock, one of which is indispensable. The remaining two are irrelevant."
"Then I'll just take the bone staff and the String of Order tonight."
Xingyue objected: "The String of Order is hidden in the Demon Temple in the city. There is a strange force field there that I cannot detect. I'm worried that something strange will appear, so let's let the Pilgrim Army use their lives to make the journey. Let's fish in troubled waters. "
Xingyue and Zhao Chuanxin have the same disregard for life.
Zhao Chuanxin continued to flip through the book.
"There is an unexpected gain." Xingyue said in surprise: "I just said that there is no such thing as the undead."
Zhao Chuanxin knew that Xingyue could be distracted and used all kinds of things, so he continued to flip through the book and said: "Elaborate."
"The Undead Sect is a branch of the Demonic Sect. There are two major elements in their cultivation. The first is the secret medicine, and the second is the undead force field. The secret medicine strengthens the body, and the undead force field can build an absolute realm..."
The secret medicine covers everything, including bacteria and viruses, as well as various pharmaceuticals and so on.
The book records that everything in the world relies on the strong to bully the weak. Whenever there is killing, a force field will be attached to the killer.
The higher the intelligence, the harder it is for the force field attached to the killer to dissipate.
Among them, killing intelligent life is the most common.
Too much killing and too many force fields will disturb the sanity of intelligent beings.
Low-level creatures are not disturbed by it.
The Undead Cult didn't know how this force field was born, so they thought it was the undead.
Their sect adopted a problem-solving attitude and created a method of refining the undead force field.
That is the absolute realm of cultivation!
The more you kill, the stronger the undead force field becomes, and the faster you practice.
People in the world firmly believe that good deeds will be rewarded, and bad deeds will be punished sooner or later.
But the attitude of all demon sects is completely opposite to this: if I kill you, not only will there be no retribution, but your soul after death must also become fertilizer for my cultivation...
Therefore, the Demon God Sect is despised and hated by the world.
If you believe in the theory of the Demon God Cult, the weak will feel despair: I am so weak, I can only hope to turn into a ghost after death and let you suffer evil retribution. But, according to you, if I die, I still have to let you reuse resources?
Is there any natural law or law for this?
Zhao Chuanxin heard this: "Eh? Isn't this the human way of doing more harm than good..."
In ancient China, all kings who had some meritorious deeds used Huang Lao to express Confucianism internally.
They are probably all disciples of the Undead Cult...
The Undead Cult also has a part that “expresses Confucianism”.
They are keen on killing, but they also need the inherent order of mankind to collect money to purchase secret medicine materials, so they will never kill wantonly in the city they built.
Zhao Chuanxin was very interested: "What is the absolute field?"
The reason why he is interested is that he has tens of thousands of lives on his hands, which is hard to count.
Before coming to the world of "Code of Old Gods", people around him secretly said that he was crazy.
He is indeed a bit crazy and cannot control his inner violence.
Xingyue was unsure: "The absolute domain is probably a defensive method. I can't tell you the details until I know how they practice the secret method."
When Zhao Chuanxin heard this, he couldn't help but speed up the flipping of the book.
After looking through half of it, I still couldn't find the secret method to refine the undead force field.
But the Necromancer Bones left the room.
Xingyue said: "He went back to the bedroom to sleep. This man even sleeps with a bone stick in his arms."
Zhao Chuanxin simply continued to flip through the book and wait.
An hour later, Xingyue said: "He fell asleep."
"Insomnia, it's so strenuous."
Zhao Chuanxin inserted the book back into the bookshelf.
Professionals have to do their job well.
After leaving the study, Zhao Chuanxin bent down in the corridor, stretched his legs back, and floated in the air in a prone position.
Only by moving forward in this way can you be silent.
Arriving at the door of the other party's bedroom, Zhao Chuanxin first stretched out his hand on the folding page. Xingyue used strong runes to renovate the folding page, then changed the structure of the lock, and pushed the door gently without making any sound.
Xingyue said: "There is a bug the size of a washbasin in the corner. It has eight legs and two pairs of suckers. It has sharp fangs and is poisonous. Its name is - Queen Gu. It is a surprise prepared by Biting for thieves and assassins."
Again, Zhao Chuanxin is professional.
He advanced in the air, and after entering the house, he was ready to take action at any time, but the bug in the corner seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and did not wake up after sensing Zhao Chuanxin through the vibration of the ground.
Zhao Chuanxin slowly approached, and Xingyue's voice was full of surprise: "There's another thief outside, but his skills are a bit trendy. You move faster, and we can put the blame on him."
Jinggu is an old man with gray hair, wrinkles on his face, and blue skin, like a patient suffering from deep poisoning.
Next to his pillow was a short cane with a curved handle and a fist-sized skull embedded in the top.
Even babies can't have such small heads.
Zhao Chuanxin reached out and picked up the bone staff. It was heavy and the tentacles were cold.
Other than that, there are no features.
As soon as he went out, Xingyue pushed him to the ceiling of the corridor.
At this time, Zhao Chuanxin was floating on the roof of the shed in a standing posture, which would be too weird from the perspective of a bystander.
The corridor was dark, with only one wall lamp at each end. The range that the firelight could illuminate was very limited, so the new thief did not look up out of instinct.
Who would have thought that there is a person "lying" on the roof?
Zhao Chuanxin was not in a hurry to leave. Out of the criminal's mentality of lingering at the crime scene, he was curious about what would happen to Tou'er next.
This thief was dressed in black night clothes, with his head and face covered, and he looked quite stylish.
Judging from his attire, he is more professional than Zhao Chuanxin.
Tou'er opened each door and came out soon after entering.
Apparently he didn't find anything he liked.
Soon, Tou'er came to the necromancer's bone-chilling bedroom.
He pushed it gently and found that the door was unlocked, so he walked in immediately.
Zhao Chuanxin pushed his legs on the roof of the shed, hung the golden hook upside down and looked into the bedroom.
The Queen Gu in the corner felt the vibration and jumped up suddenly.
Zhao Chuanxin originally thought that stealing a son would bring bad luck.
Unexpectedly, they came prepared and seemed to have expected that all the necromancers would raise Gu and act as guards.
I saw him taking out a dagger, and the dim light from the dagger cut through the darkness.
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
Sizzling...
The body of the Gu queen the size of a washbasin made a corroding sound.
"Zhizhizhi..."
The Gu Queen screamed.
The biting person on the bed opened his cloudy old eyes.
After Tou'er scratched Gu with one knife, he stabbed the bone on the bed with another knife.
There seemed to be an invisible protective shield in front of Biting's body, actually blocking the blade.
Come to think of it, this is the absolute realm.
When Tou'er's whereabouts were revealed, he no longer kept secret. He took out the wheel from his waist and fired a shot at Jing Gu.
Zhao Chuanxin was surprised to find that the bullet was easily blocked by the "humanoid" protective layer around the bone.
This is different from the golden bell, which is rigid in the realm of biting absolutes, and the golden bell, which is elastic.
Tou'er's skills in using the single-action revolver were limited. He fired with one hand, pulling the hammer with his thumb and pulling the trigger with his index finger. The rate of fire was extremely slow.
Bang bang bang...
He emptied the bullets in one breath and all the bullets were blocked.
Jing Gu looked old, but moved extremely quickly. He stepped forward and grabbed Tao'er's neck.
The wheel in Tou'er's hand dropped.
The injured Gu queen in the corner jumped up again, two pairs of suction cups firmly sucked on Tou'er's body, and Tou'er's body began to tremble.
Seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin floated towards the end of the corridor.
Because Xingyue told him that the guards below were alerted and were rushing to the second floor.
Zhao Chuanxin was on the roof of the shed, and the guards were below. The two sides "passed by each other."
After leaving the villa, Zhao Chuanxin ran with his legs on the ground, 20 meters in a step.
"Do you think the protective shield outside the piercing body is the absolute realm?"
"Yes!" Xingyue answered simply. "The force field outside the Demon Temple should also be an absolute realm."
Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "How does that compare with my golden bell?"
"Combining the knowledge in the book and what I just saw, I speculate that the absolute realm can isolate air and heat exchange, and can isolate everything. When Jinggu strangled the thief's neck, his fingers did not touch the thief's skin."
Zhao Chuanxin asked as he ran: "Transparent exoskeleton?"
"no the same."
Zhao Chuanxin became even more interested.
Tonight was full of twists and turns.
It seemed like someone had made a scapegoat for him.
Regardless of whether the thief is organized or not, Jinggu will probably blame someone else for the theft of the bone staff.
Of course, even if he knew it was Zhao Chuanxin who did it, Zhao Chuanxin would not care.
After leaving the ghost city, he ran all the way and returned to the camp outside the camp while it was dark to find a place to sleep for a while.
At dawn, he opened his eyes, and there was no sleepiness on his face.
Back at the camp, Zhao Chuanxin found the businessman, opened his leather backpack, and revealed a bone staff: "Come, let's make a deal."
The businessman was stunned: "You, you actually succeeded? Did you kill Jinggu?"
He didn't seem to believe that Zhao Chuanxin could kill him to the bone.
This made Zhao Chuanxian more curious about the absolute realm.
"No, I hired a thief to steal it for me." Zhao Chuanxin lied without blinking.
"I don't believe it."
"Are you going to make a deal or not?"
The businessman narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know what this bone staff is used for?"
"For casting spells?"
"How do you know?"
"Damn it!"
The businessman sneered and took the bone staff and handed Zhao Chuanxin all the things he wanted.
It seems that those who can steal things from Jinggu's hands are ruthless people.
Businessmen dare not play tricks at all.
Zhao Chuanxin put all the round-headed bullets into his pocket technology. The two steel bars couldn't be stuffed in, so he had to stuff seasonings and tobacco leaves inside.
He saw that there were pipes, horsehair brushes for combing hair, and pens and papers on the merchant's carriage. He took one of each: "These can be used as extras, okay?"
The businessman opened his mouth, but finally nodded in agreement.
The pocket technology couldn't fit in, so Zhao Chuanxin stuffed it into his bag, turned around and left.
The businessman shouted from behind: "Will I still find you in the Holy City of Order in the future?"
"Okay." Zhao Chuanxin said without looking back.
Back at the military camp, Tie Dan asked him: "Where did you go last night?"
"Go explore."
"ah?"
Isn't this too positive?
How much is the salary per month? What kind of fate are you playing?
The caravan is gone.
The army sets off.
The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
This time it was not a field battle, but a siege.
Everyone knows that this battle will inevitably involve heavy casualties.
Moreover, the opponent is an undead sect that none of them understand.
This reconnaissance mission did not fall on Tie Dan's legion.
After resting for the last night, Zhao Chuanxin had time to do some things of his own.
He took out a pen and paper next to the campfire and sketched out the drawings of the God of War M1907, and made certain adaptation improvements based on the round warhead of the King of War M1908.
After drawing the drawings, Zhao Chuanxin told Tiedan: "I'm going out to pee."
He carried a few pieces of coke and walked out.
After going out, he and Xingyue made steel and added charcoal.
After several processes, Xingyue used solid runes to increase or decrease the carbon content and manufacture parts.
It is no longer difficult for Zhao Chuanxin to rub a gun with his hands.
Xingyue planted the parts and Zhao Chuanxin installed them skillfully.
He took out the bullets from his lever rifle and loaded them into the magazine.
The revolver uses rim bullets and cannot be used.
But the lever rifle ammo specifically for the Codex world of the Old Gods does.
After loading five magazines, Zhao Chuanxin did not test the gun because the sound of the gunshot carried too far at night.
He then used the remaining steel to strike a cavalry sword.
The greatsword was too bulky and unnecessary for him.
He stuffed the gun into his pocket tech and turned back to camp.
The next day, the army cut down trees to build siege equipment.
Apparently Ghost City also discovered the invading enemy and was ready to fight.
On the fourth day, both sides were in their respective positions, and the war was about to break out.
To cheer up before the battle, Tiedan wandered in front of the 80-man team: "Everyone, the war is about to begin. You know that in order to restore the order that this world should have, and for the sake of all mankind, this battle is inevitable."
Zhao Chuanxin Anle: You are quite good at choking.
Tie Dan's tone changed: "Of course, with Zhao Chuanxin here, our lives are still guaranteed compared to other legions. Are you right, Zhao Chuanxin?"
Zhao Chuanxin thought of Biting, the reaction of the businessman, and the Absolute Domain. He bared his teeth and smiled: "Well, don't brag on my behalf. I can't guarantee it. This battle will be tragic!"
"You..." Tie Guang was so angry.
He was cheering on his side, while Zhao Chuanxin was causing trouble on his side.
Zhao Chuanxin suppressed his smile, pushed Tie Dan away, and came to the crowd and said, "I'm not alarmist. Now I can only hope that the pastor can block the necromancer's spell, otherwise I can only say that I will escape death. Okay, Get ready, it’s time to fight.”
He wrapped his arms around the knife and put the knife back into its sheath.
