Chapter 318 New Trading Partners (First Update)
There are many problems with Li Fire Nation, otherwise the king of Li Fire Nation would not spend magic weapons to summon practitioners.
These magical artifacts were made by condensing the destiny of the country. Each magical artifact is expensive, but compared with the practitioners summoned, these items are still relatively cheap.
Therefore, he thought that he had paid the price for summoning the practitioners, but now these practitioners actually asked him for money to do things, and he still felt that he had been deceived.
I paid you!
Therefore, even though the quotation given by the heretic was already very cheap, he still pushed it back with a smile, stared into the eyes of the heretic and said: "You are really generous. You can obviously rob it directly, but you still give it to me." To do something for us.”
"That's the generous little prince I can be famous for." The heretic said proudly.
Mu Kui1234 on the side looked at the evil outsider and complained coldly: "That's not true. Isn't your favorite thing to do is to give people warmth? But if the warmth is too much, all you end up doing is acquaintances."
"Mukui 1234, I really like your joke."
"It's no joke what you did."
Seeing that the two people in front of him were actually flirting in front of him, the king of Lihuo Country said coldly: "Master Immortal, if you are like this, you are a bit hurtful."
"I have no feelings for you, only interests. I'm not asking for your consent, I'm informing you. If you don't do it, forget it."
The monarch gritted his teeth and his eyes became colder and colder: "No!"
"Okay, that's okay. I don't have the habit of buying or selling by force. Let's go, Mu Kui 1234."
Under the monarch's resentful eyes, the heretic left the palace and dragged Mu Kui 1234 onto the street.
The guards on both sides originally wanted to stop him, but the heretic just glanced at each other, and the guards reluctantly dispersed.
For people like practitioners who have powerful power, secular armies are just decorations.
They used to be able to give orders to practitioners because they were easy to talk and would not resist.
However, this situation does not work here, so we can only let them leave.
Following the evil outsider, Mu Kui 1234 asked doubtfully: "Xiemen outside, where are you going?"
"Look at the situation here. If that monarch is a benevolent monarch, I don't mind giving him another chance."
"What if not?"
"That would be better, we would have a reason to rebel!"
Looking at the heretic with excited eyes, Mu Kui 1234 found that this guy was like this everywhere, as if he couldn't play games unless he did something.
Great Heavenly Lord, is there really no problem keeping this guy?
Li Fire Country is not large in area, and its system is still a feudal imperial system. There are more than a dozen cities in the country, some of which exist as fiefdoms for princes, and some are managed by the royal family.
The area farther away is shrouded in thick fog. According to Mu Kui 1234's detection, there are areas with unstable space. There are natural teleportation arrays inside. Once you enter, you will be teleported to different places and cannot come back.
After going around in a circle, the heretics discovered that the people here were not in dire straits, but the benefits were limited.
The people close to the capital can still have enough to eat, but outside they often encounter various natural disasters, and from time to time ferocious beasts come out from the edges, adding to the suffering for the people here.
This time, the rebellion started from a city on the edge.
The cause of the matter was that the tax official was collecting taxes. An old man said that a natural disaster had just passed through the border recently and everyone had no surplus food on hand, so he could report it to the court so that the food could be paid at a later date.
The old man didn't say no, and even sounded kinder. However, the official was furious, thinking that this was provoking the court official and disrespectful!
So, such an old man was put in jail and was about to be executed. Unexpectedly, this old gentleman was of high moral character and most of his disciples were local rangers. After hearing that the teacher was arrested, he simply rose up and beheaded the tax collector, but he rebelled!
The surrounding cities have been suffering from the Lihuo Dynasty for a long time, so they respond to hundreds of calls. This is why the Lihuo King needs practitioners to quell the rebellion.
Knowing the situation here, the heretic waved his hand, pointed in the direction of the rebels and said, "That's it, let's go there to sell our products."
Looking at the increasingly excited evil outsiders, Mu Kui 1234 sighed: "This is obviously a cultivation simulator, why did you play it like this?"
"Shouldn't practitioners care about the common people and follow the way of heaven? I am also practicing!"
"It seems to make sense, but... alas."
When the heretic said this, Mu Kui 1234 was a little confused and could only follow him.
The distance between the cities is not too far, and the heretics had also collected a lot of magic weapons before, and after smelting them, they made two tools for themselves and Mu Kui 1234 to travel, so they arrived at the rebels in less than half an hour. The base camp.
Different from the luxurious palace, this place looks like a refugee camp.
The soldiers here were covered in rags, and ten of them together couldn't even get a weapon. Most of them came to resist with farm tools and dry food on their backs. They looked more like refugees than rebels.
However, although the equipment is not good, their discipline is quite strict. When Xie Menhe Dao and Mu Kui 1234 came here, they had just conquered a county town and were resting in the county town.
The ragged rebels had resolute faces and armed with broken weapons, they drove the former lords of the county out of their homes one by one.
The usually aloof young masters of the aristocratic family were now trembling like quails. Their usually arrogant faces were now full of confusion and fear. Some rich ladies were crying like pear blossoms, not knowing what kind of misfortune they would encounter.
But unlike their imagination, the rebels here actually did nothing to them.
The soldiers simply gathered the big families here one by one under the command of the captain, and searched for evidence. Those who were guilty of unpardonable crimes were directly sent to be hanged. After a while, mosaics were floating in the wind.
The food was sorted out one by one, and someone started to light a fire to cook. The entire rebel army was in order. It was completely unexpected that this was a rebel army composed of refugees.
Excess utensils were also collected and distributed uniformly. Once upon a time, gorgeous clothes were used to dress the wounds of injured soldiers, and luxurious residences were used to house the wounded. Everything seemed in order.
After watching it in the air for a while, the heretic said: "There are experts here."
Looting is the norm for rebels, but the rebels here actually don't care about everything they see, and just follow the orders of their superiors indifferently. It can be said that they have reached the limit of what the ancient army could achieve.
Unless there is an expert behind them to guide them, the heretics will never believe that this kind of thing will happen.
And when the heretics were snooping around, someone on the ground also noticed them.
A sharp arrow flew towards the evil sect's face, but the arrow was just an ordinary strong bow and could not even break the evil sect's protective magical weapon.
However, a person can shoot arrows so high and still have lethality. This person is also a fierce man with natural divine power.
The two-meter-tall general below put down the long bow in his hand, looked at the two people in the air and shouted: "Rat, come down and fight me!"
Just after he finished yelling, an old man came out of the tent below and said to the fierce man: "Don't be rude."
Looking at the sky again, the old man, who was also two meters tall, raised his hands and said, "So you are a practitioner. Can you come down and talk?"
Although the old man looked a bit older, he spoke with great energy and a loud and clear voice that even the heretics in the air could hear.
After falling down, the heretics discovered that the old man had white hair and a childish face, but his face was resolute and he had a sense of seriousness that ordinary people didn't have.
After seeing that the two practitioners were so young, the old man was a little surprised, but he still raised the tent and invited the two in.
Another fierce general also wanted to go in, but the old man stopped him in a low voice and just whispered a few words. Then he saw the fierce man standing outside with red eyes and silently like an iron tower.
As the heretic and Mu Kui 1234 walked into the tent, the old man bent down and filled a glass of water for them, and then said: "You two, are you practitioners recruited by the monarch?"
"That's right." The heretic nodded, "What do you call me, uncle?"
"Just call me old man."
"Okay, Uncle Cheng, you are not bad. You have kept the refugees in check so well."
Old man Cheng waved his hands indifferently: "It's just that I'm naturally smart. I read a lot of books when I was an official in the court. I was demoted to the north and thought about it for decades, and then I figured out a lot of things. So, Everything here is done by me alone and has nothing to do with anyone else. If you want to take someone with you, just take me with you."
"Where are I taking you?" the heretic asked in confusion.
"Go back to the royal city for trial. Aren't you here to catch me?" Old Man Cheng also became confused.
The heretic looked at the old man and found that the other man's eyes were magnanimous and clear, and he seemed to be ready to sacrifice himself.
After recalling the other party's way of speaking, the heretic realized that at first listen, he would think that he was as shameless as himself. However, after thinking about it carefully, he put all the blame on himself and did not want to implicate other people.
Finding that the heretic was silent, Old Man Cheng thought that the other party was struggling, so he said to him: "You don't have to be like this. I knew this was the result when the incident started. But the people on the border are suffering too much and it's a natural disaster. There are also exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the local big families have to pay taxes from time to time. It is really impossible to live without trouble. However, after every trouble, the leader will die, and the people can live a better life, and their death is not in vain. Good. Come on, two immortal masters, let’s do it.”
Looking at the old man Cheng who was ready to be taken away by him, the heretic clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's passed. I feel you must be a high-quality customer."
Taking out the list of items rejected by the monarch, the heretic pointed at the items on it and asked, "Mr. Cheng, which item here are you interested in? Our new store has opened, and you can get a 20% discount."
Old man Cheng looked at the list and found that the contents on it were quite tempting.
Some can clear farmland here. No matter how bad the land is, it can be quickly cleared into good farmland, and it is guaranteed to be managed for ten years.
Some help build roads. If a road extending in all directions is dug by manpower, it will take at least more than a year, but if left to practitioners, it may be completed in ten days.
Other items such as controlling floods, treating diseases, building embankments, etc. were all listed, which dazzled everyone.
When Old Man Cheng was in the capital, he heard about the practitioners and saw their methods.
However, this list gave him a deeper understanding of the power of practitioners.
Their strength is a hundred times that of ordinary people. Therefore, no matter how mediocre the kings of the past dynasties were, they could still sit firmly in the country. These practitioners were indispensable.
Moreover, unlike the king of the Lihuo Kingdom who was used to the cultivator's character of not asking for anything in return, he had never entrusted the cultivator to do work for him before, so he did not have any objection to the cultivator charging fees, but felt it was normal.
After all, there should be no people in this world who don’t get paid for their work.
The payment method for these items is to purchase items containing spiritual energy. These items are usually items with strange performances. The big players here have collected a lot and can use these items to pay.
There are hundreds of items on the list given by the heretics, and each item looks very tempting.
In addition to large-scale projects, it is actually possible to hire practitioners to help. It can be said to be an extremely rare thing, and it also greatly changes Old Man Cheng's impression of practitioners.
Any one of them would be a huge boost to the rebels, but it's a pity that he can only afford a few right now.
Looking at these projects, old man Rao Shicheng was determined and couldn't help but swallow his saliva at this time.
However, he still looked at the heretics and asked: "I dare to ask the immortal, before the rebellion, no cultivators contacted this place, why is it different this time?"
"It's okay. This place is under my control, so I decided to find another way to contact the secular world. This time it is a pilot attempt for us."
Old man Cheng thought for a while and felt that he probably understood.
This must be a change in the way of heaven. The king of the Lihuo Kingdom has gone against the grain and has aroused the dissatisfaction of heaven.
The voice of the people of Li was finally heard by God. This time it was time for them to change their dynasty.
Therefore, practitioners will find themselves and let themselves become the person who takes the destiny.
For a moment, Old Man Cheng was in a daze and a little complacent.
But immediately, he suddenly woke up and knew that there was something wrong with his previous thoughts.
It was not him who took the order, but all the people here.
And the practitioners also said that this is just a pilot. If they fail to show better talents, then a new Old Man Li and Old Man Wang will come over to replace them, and the people will just jump from one cage to another. cage.
Only by seriously considering the relationship between the secular world and practitioners and finding a system that allows everyone to benefit from it can we achieve long-term peace and stability.
After thinking about it, Old Man Cheng knew what he should choose.
Pointing to the items on the list, he said, "Doctor, I need twenty."
"no problem."
"Livestock Master, I need twenty."
"OK."
"We still need farmland, we need farm tools, we need..."
After spending all the spiritual energy items seized these days, Old Man Cheng reluctantly said, "That's it, that's all."
"Okay, later."
The heretic left with the list satisfied, leaving the old man waiting anxiously.
A few minutes later, black dots fell from the sky one after another. A famous player came over excitedly, looked at this place and shouted: "Brother Xie is so powerful, you really found the hidden mission!"
Thanks to the charming Archmage for the 500-point reward, and Qi Mingxuan Edgar for the 300-point reward, thank you.
