Chapter 46: Power and Money Transaction

It felt strange to gallop on horseback in the vast mass of burials outside the Lost City. Bingbing kept looking at Rose in a daze, Rose always said nothing, and sometimes she would reply with a few words if I asked a question in a hurry. Just long stretches of silence.

In this strange atmosphere, we arrived at the mouth of the dark canyon. It was the first time for Rose and Bingbing to come here. Looking at the zombies and disgusting zombies crawling all over the ground, Rose actually spoke first.

"Do you usually practice leveling here?"

I nodded. "Hmm, what's up?"

"Disgusting!"

"Yes!" Bingbing nodded and exaggeratedly twisted her nose with her hands: "And it stinks!"

"Your second brother doesn't like these things, does he?" Rose asked.

"Who said that? Second brother's place has a great environment!" I summoned the Demon Knight. "Do you think so?"

"Not bad!" The demon spirit knight boss nodded. "Although that idiot has no skills, we have to admit that he did a good job in greening the camp!"

"Camp greening?" Bingbing looked at the Demon Spirit Knight boss curiously, waiting for an explanation.

The boss of the Demon Spirit Knight slowly explained: "There is no way, our troops stationed in the Dark Temple are too murderous, so no village grass can grow within a radius of ten miles!"

"Then what?" Rose asked.

This time, a female demon spirit knight said: "Then that salted fish found a lot of ghost vines from nowhere. Originally they were just around the camp, but later they grew everywhere. And that thing blooms 'indiscriminately', causing us to suffer from pollen allergies in spring!"

"Hahahaha! Brother Ziri, why is your second brother so funny?" Bingbing laughed so hard that she almost fell off the horse.

"How do I know!" I helplessly wondered why this second brother has such a hobby!

Talking and laughing like this finally broke Rose and Bingbing's submerged state, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot. We were running around those zombies along the way, and I was no longer the little warrior of dozens of levels back then. Whenever I encountered anyone in the way, I would just pick on them and send them flying. We are not here to level up, so we don’t have time to waste time with them!

Because there was not much delay on the way, we quickly arrived at Domingue's former army stronghold. A row of neat fences cut off the middle of the valley. Several guards immediately raised their spears on guard when they saw us, but when the demon knight appeared in their sight, they immediately became respectful.

"Where's your boss?" The boss of the Demon Spirit Knight went up first and asked.

"Discuss things with the staff inside! Is there anything you need, Lord Demon Knight?"

"We want to see Domingue, go and report!" The boss of the Demon Spirit Knight is also full of official airs now. It seems that just like what Domingue said at the beginning, these guys have too high status, and they tend to overshadow their superiors here!

"Yes!" The dark warrior soldier almost rolled in and ran in to report. In less than a minute, the soldier ran all the way back. I really don’t know how he could run back and forth so fast over such a long distance! "Sir... please!" After saying that, the soldier fainted. Oh, poor soldier!

We handed our mounts to the guard and continued walking inside. Almost all the soldiers were running around busy along the way. What on earth were they doing? This was not the scene last time I came here! "Stop, stop, stop!" I used my spear to hang on a soldier who was running in front of me and pulled him to me. "What are you doing?"

The soldier didn't seem to want to answer at first, but when he saw the demon knight standing behind me shaking his fist at him, he immediately started talking. "We're going to war!"

"War?" I was surprised. "Who are you fighting? Who wants to attack here?"

"This is a routine matter! Didn't the Demon Spirit Knights tell you?" Xiao Bing asked.

I looked back at the boss of the Demon Knight. He hurriedly said: "That's what happened. Ahead of us is the end of the Dark Canyon. There is a Dark Temple there. It is said that the Heart of Darkness is under there! We are the ones responsible for guarding the Heart of Darkness!"

Seeing that the boss of the Demon Spirit Knight was still talking nonsense, I quickly interrupted him: "Get to the point!" If I let him continue talking like this, there would probably be a long fairy tale!

The boss of the Demon Spirit Knight immediately stood at attention and spoke very quickly and loudly: "The point is that we attack the main city of the system once every autumn, and the main city of the system attacks us once every spring with soldiers! But who has been fighting for hundreds of years? I haven’t defeated anyone either! The report is over!”

"It's really a routine thing!" I sighed, "Now it is!"

Rose reminded: "It's been more than January, and spring is coming soon! Idiot!"

"oh!"

I let the soldier go and came to Domingue's tent. He was already waiting for me at the door. "Brother Xian, I haven't been here for a long time! What's the matter with coming here at this time?"

"It's nothing serious, I just want to discuss business with you!"

"Discuss business with me?" Domingo was stunned. "Brother, don't be ridiculous. I'm not a business NPC. How can I discuss business with you? Besides, I'm so busy right now that I don't have time to do business!"

"You don't need much time!" I took out a small piece of magic crystal, which was the one hanging around A Dianna's neck, as a sample. "Have you seen this thing?"

"This?" Domingue took it and looked at it and said, "Let's talk inside!" After that, he led us inside and said to the demon knight: "You guys are guarding outside and no one is allowed to come near!"

The demon spirit knight boss snorted angrily. "I am not your subordinate!"

I had no choice but to say to Demon Spirit Knight Lao Dao: "Just do it!"

After listening to my words, they formed a barrier outside the door and stood guard with their backs to the tent. I followed in with Bingbing and Rose. Bingbing whispered in my ear: "This is your second brother! So majestic! How do you know him?"

"Go back and tell you!" As we spoke, we entered the tent.

Domingue turned around and took the magic crystal and said, "This is the magic crystal. Why are you showing me this?"

"Hey! I knew you knew him!" I took back the crystal. "Brother Clark said you have this thing?"

"Yes, this is important military supplies. Of course I have a lot! But why do you ask?"

"I want this, can you get it?"

"What do you need the magic crystal for? I don't know many places where this thing is used! We only use it to drive the magic crystal cannon and magic shield!"

"You also have a magic shield?" I was surprised that even the Dark Temple has a magic shield. Judging from this, the three main cities in the system should also have it!

"What do you mean you have it? Do you have it too?" Domingue was even more surprised than me. "That thing is so big, what do you want it for? Could it be...?" He looked at the badge on my chest. "So you are also the guild president! Did the guild you formed build a city? Do you want to join the Dark Temple?"

"I don't have a city! There are only a dozen people in my guild! But I know a friend whose guild is very big. Maybe he needs to build a city! What do you mean by joining the Dark Temple just now?"

"It's like this. If you have your own guild, you can apply for asylum from the temple. But the temples conflict with each other. Opposing temples cannot appear in the same city. For example, it is absolutely impossible for you to be in the same city at the same time. See the Temple of Chaos and the Temple of Order. Similarly, darkness is opposite to the Temple of Light, and the Temple of War must not appear at the same time as the Temple of Magic. Of course, I am talking about the main gods, those like the Temple of Purity and the Temple of Inspiration. It doesn’t matter if a small temple like this is built across the street! If you ever build a city, you must support me! Don’t take advantage of the Temple of Light!”

"I know, but don't count on me. I only have a dozen people in total. If I am not going to be busy vomiting blood when building a city? Let's get down to business, what is the magic shield you just mentioned? Can I take a look?"

"Of course you can take a look! But you have to come with me, that thing is too big to move! How about I have a small one, do you want to take a look?"

"also!"

"Come here!" Domingue called for a long time but no one responded before he remembered that everyone had been driven away and my demon knight was the only one left outside! He had no choice but to get out by himself and ran back after a while, followed by several guards carrying a large thing.

"That's it?" The thing in front of me looks like a transformer! Not to mention the boxy shape, there is also a large radiator outside.

"That's it!" Domingue opened a lid and took out a palm-sized magic crystal. "This is the magic shield. This small one can cover a radius of 500 meters. As long as it is in the shield, it can reduce 10% of the damage of the members of this force. How powerful, right? The one used in the temple is a big one with this size. More than ten times larger, it can cover the entire valley and reduce damage by 25%. This is a small magic shield used by the military."

I walked up and looked at it again and again. This thing is really good. I wonder what the effect would be if it were installed on the Biling! "How about selling me one of these things?"

"Don't you want the magic crystal? Why do you want this too?"

"I want all the good things!" I stood up and patted the shell of the magic shield. "How about it?"

"It's not impossible to sell this thing to you. The Dark Temple originally had the business of selling this thing, but the temple sold it in large sizes, and it was only sold to guilds with cities for use in city defense. But since my dear brother needs it, I can make an exception and find an acquaintance to sell it to you, but this thing is sold as a set, one big and four small, so you can't sell it separately!"

"That's no problem! Isn't it just more expensive?" We have money now! I picked up the tea next to me and tasted it.

"This is not expensive! This set of equipment costs 30 million crystal coins!"

"Oh poof!" I spit out the sip of tea I just took into my mouth. "Are you kidding me?"

"Who are you kidding?" Domingue waved his hands and asked his men to move the things out. "This thing is just this price, and there's nothing I can do about it!"

"30 million? Is that too exaggerated?" I almost fainted, and the rose behind me was also shocked, and Bingbing's little mouth became an O-shape.

"If you can't afford it, don't buy it. You don't have a guild anyway!"

"Buy! Who said I won't buy it!" Remember this little Japan, I will get this money back from you! "I still need magic crystals, will you sell them?"

"I also sell magic crystals, but the price is not cheap!"

"Wait a minute!" I grabbed the armrest of the seat. "Okay, let's talk!"

"Magic crystals are sold by the kilogram, with 5 million crystal coins per kilogram!"

"I'm dizzy! The specific gravity of magic crystal is not much less than that of gold. Who can afford it if it's so expensive?" I originally planned to make more, but it seems like I won't make much! Rose and I did the math, and this time we can only buy a set of magic shields and 40 kilograms of magic crystals first, and then go back and transport a few more ships of gold before coming back! "Give us 40 kilograms of magic crystals first, and we also need a set of magic shields."

"Okay! I'll send someone to prepare right now!"

Domingue was pretty fast, and he came back before we even finished our glasses. "Ready!"

We came outside the camp, and a huge carriage had been prepared here. 16 tall horses pulled this heavy-duty carriage, an oversized transformer, oh, no, it should be a magic shield and 4 small shields. On the carriage.

Domingue walked to the carriage and said: "This carriage is for you. You are not lucky to have so few people. It will be much better to have a carriage. Also, the magic shield generator is already filled with magic crystals. , these are not included in the 40 kilograms! Brother, I think that’s interesting!”

"Thank you so much!" I jumped onto the carriage happily. "By the way, you also have a magic crystal cannon, right?"

"You also want to buy that thing, right?"

"Are you selling it?"

"Sell, why don't you sell? If you sell more things, I can get more commissions, right?"

"What's the price?"

"There are four types of magic crystal cannons, the smallest one costs 20 million crystal coins, the medium one costs 40 million crystal coins, the large one costs 60 million crystal coins, and the giant one costs 100 million!"

"Boom!" Rose and Bingbing fainted at the same time.

"Sorry! Pretend I didn't say that!" I quickly put Rose and Bingbing on the carriage and ran away as if to escape. The demon knights circled around the carriage to help me clean up the approaching monsters.

I was still thinking about that cannon when I ran out! This is not a cannon! Pure gold is not worth so much!

The boss of the Demon Spirit Knight suddenly said: "Master, I have something to say and I don't know if I can say it!"

"What are you talking about? Say it!"

"Actually, you may have misunderstood the price just now!"

"I misunderstood?"

"Yeah, you might think that thing isn't worth it, but there's a reason those cannons are so expensive!"

"Oh? Tell me!"

"How much do you think the cannons the Biling is now equipped with are worth?"

"Almost 30 million crystal coins!"

"That's actually it. Your cannon is worth 20 million. The cannons in the system's main city are actually not as powerful as those in the Dark Temple. You may have noticed that the NPCs in the system's main city are all level 800, and some generals are Level 850 or even level 900, but the highest level we encountered in Dark Canyon was only level 850."

"Yes! Didn't you say that there has been no winner or loser in the war for so many years? How did you defeat them at such a low level?"

"That's the problem. The soldiers in the Dark Temple are generally of low level, but our equipment is good! The smallest cannons in the Dark Temple are the ones equipped on the Bi Ling, and the most advanced giant magic crystal cannons are as powerful as It is absolutely indestructible! It is only by relying on these messy magic equipment that the Dark Temple can fight against the main city of the system that represents light for so long without failing!"

"So you mean the giant magic crystal cannon is definitely worth the price?"

"Yes! I think you may think that the giant magic crystal cannon is the one currently equipped on battleships, so you misestimated the price!"

"I understand, thank you! But we already spent all the money this time, so let's try it next time!"

Rose and Bingbing quickly climbed up from the trunk. "Where are we?"

"We have left the Dark Canyon. This is the edge of the Dark Forest. You can go out soon. After here, you will reach the prairie, and then you can run all the way to the port. If you are bored, you can just go back to the city without following me. Yes, I still have to run for three days to get to the port!"

"Why don't you go back to the city?" Bingbing asked innocently.

I pointed my thumb behind me. "You can teleport back with that thing and I'll use the scroll to return to the city!"

Bingbing opened a corner of the canvas covering the shield, looked at the huge three-meter-high magic shield, and stuck out her tongue. "I can't seem to move it!"

"You girl!" Rose also rubbed Bingbing's hair, and then the two of them laughed together.

"stop!"

"Wow!" The sudden pause made me fly out of my seat. Fortunately, there was a horse in front of me, so I jumped on the horse's back.

"Oops!" Rose and Bingbing somersaulted in the car. Fortunately, the guardrail of the car was relatively high and they didn't fall out!

"Who is it?" I jumped up from the horse. "What are you doing in the middle of blocking the road when you have nothing to do?"

When I stopped, I saw that there was not just one person blocking the road, but a large group of people. Two people walked out of the crowd, probably leaders or something.

"I opened this mountain!" said the mage who came out.

"I planted this tree!" said the soldier next to him.

"If you want to live forever!"

Encountered a robber! I didn't bother to hear them finish, since bandit lingo hadn't changed much in thousands of years. I raised a hand, and the robbers across from me were stunned. Everyone looked at me together.

When the audience fell silent, I waved my hand forward slightly. "kill!"

"Yes!" The boss of the Demon Spirit Knight immediately rushed to the front and led his men to queue up. "The slogan of the Demon Knight!"

"Leave no blade of grass behind! Kill!"

"It's so boring. Why do so many people like to be robbers these days?" I gasped, leaning on the rear panel and looking at the chaotic battlefield in front of me, not even interested in participating!

Only then did Rose and Bingbing stick their heads out of the carriage. Bingbing rubbed her head and asked: "Brother Ziri, what's going on? I suddenly stopped the car and my head was smashed out!"

Rose saw the chaotic battlefield ahead. "Wow, what happened? What's going on?"

"Oh! We encountered robbers!" Suddenly a strange thought flashed through my mind. "Robber...pirate? Rose, how about we go back and make a skull and crossbones flag?"

"Skull and Bones Flag? What do you want to do?"

"Little Japan used to always rob us off the coast of China. This time when we go to Japan to cause trouble, let's just hang up the pirate flag and grab as much as we can!"

Rose tilted her head and thought for a while. "That's right. At the last CCB meeting, I told you that if you don't want to be a little girl, you can change your career to a female pirate this time! Haha! Not bad!"

I'm dizzy, how could I make her think of this? If I had known earlier I wouldn’t have said anything!

"Master, be careful!" I tilted my head and nailed a spear to the carriage board. If I hadn't heard the warning from the Demon Knight, this thing would have shot my head right through! "Which kid doesn't have the foresight to use such a big dart to plot against me?"

Bingbing covered her mouth and smiled while pulling out the spear. "Yeah! This dart is really big! Haha...!"

I have now seen the person who plotted against me. He is a fat warrior. Although he is fat, he is extremely agile. The two demon knights fought him at close quarters, but he actually took the time to throw the spear in his hand over. At this time, almost everyone on the battlefield had been knocked down, and only the fat man was still standing, but it seemed that his martyrdom was only a matter of time. But I already admire his strength for being able to withstand the attack of the Demon Knight for so long. To be honest, I can't guarantee that I can last so long under the siege of 10 demon knights without summoning a magic pet. Who is this guy?
