Chapter 203 The Church and Timely Rain (Three in One, Thanks to Daoliangren)

Longshe Port City is always so prosperous.

The streets along the west side of the city are always filled with various vendors' stalls.

Vendors with better conditions set up wooden tables or awnings.

Vendors with worse conditions put a piece of cloth on the ground and do business.

Walking in the west city of Longshe Port City, the hawking sounds are endless.

In Elashia, Longshe Port City is a pearl in the south, but unfortunately it is a small one.

Northeast of Longshe Port City is Via Port City.

Via Port City controls the largest canal outlet in Elashia and has the strongest navy in Elashia.

Every year, the tax revenue from passing ships alone is enough to keep the upper class of Via Port City well fed and clothed.

If Via Port City is a pearl as big as a tennis ball, Longshe Port City can only be an egg.

But this still cannot stop the civilians near Longshe Port City from crowding into Longshe Port City.

Every household in Longshegang City dries salted fish, and the salty and wet smell goes straight into the nose when the sea breeze blows.

But this is only in the south of Longshegang City near the sea.

The noble district in the north of Longshegang City is another scenery.

Agave is a specialty of Longshegang City, a special magical spice.

It has no roots, and floats three meters deep near the sea surface like an anemone, quietly sucking the glow of the sun god.

Every time the tide recedes, there will be Agave washed onto the sand on the beach.

It is not easy to find Agave, and special training is required.

The Agave washed ashore will dry up and dehydrate quickly, and the color will change from emerald green to the same dark yellow as the beach.

It will also quickly grow false roots and lie in the sand.

If the farmers who collect Agave are not careful enough, they will not find it even if they step over it.

Every day, a large number of farmers can be seen "driving grass" on the beach of Longshegang City.

They kicked the sand of the wrong shape and color with their feet, kicked up the sand, and found the dragon tongue grass half buried in the sand.

Every time the farmers have a harvest, it is a surprise.

A slightly larger dragon tongue grass can be exchanged for 12 silver coins in the alchemy workshop in the northern city. (One hundred silver coins for one gold)

12 silver coins can buy wheat flour, which can feed 3 adults for 3 and a half days.

(Usually, the price of a unit of marching dry food is 3 to 4 times that of a unit of wheat flour)

Of course, ordinary farmers cannot access the alchemy workshop, and there will be "grass merchants" who will charge farmers half the price, that is, 6 silver coins.

These "grass merchants" usually have gang backgrounds and are the "gloves" of some nobles in Longshe Port City.

Grind the dragon tongue grass finely, and the rich and refreshing fragrance can make people who smell it feel relaxed and clear-headed.

Soak the dried salted fish in the south of the city in the extract of dragon tongue grass, and then dry it again for a day, and you can make the most famous specialty of Longshe Port City, the fragrant leaf dried fish worth a full 5 gold coins.

In the famine era, a hero can spend 10 gold coins to buy a peasant to fight for you. Of course, you have to provide food, otherwise he will run away.

Luo Xiang is a coachman, a level 1, 3rd tier coachman.

Luo Xiang started as a level 1 farmer, and by collecting dragon tongue grass, he accumulated enough gold coins to advance to a level 2 fisherman.

It took more than a year, relying on his own early morning and night and frugality, to save up a full 8 gold coins.

He wanted to save gold coins to marry Tiger Girl from the next village at first.

Unfortunately, when he saved enough gold coins, Tiger Girl had already married the camel from the next village.

But it doesn't matter, he is no longer the same as before.

He relied on the accumulated gold coins to become a level 1, 3rd tier coachman, and through his intelligence, he stood out from the group of coachmen.

Luo Xiang has a driver's license in the North District and rented a luxury carriage. If he is alone, he can save ten to thirteen silver coins every day.

In just over two months, he could save the same amount of wealth that he could only save in a year before.

Moreover, the most important thing is that he can now travel back and forth to the North District every day, breathing the fragrance of the dragon tongue grass in the North District.

After seeing the sun, he cannot stand the darkness.

Now Luo Xiang's most uncomfortable thing is to go back to his residence in the South District after get off work every day.

No, it should be said that from the moment he left the North District, the moment the fishy smell rushed into his nose, he could not stand it.

If it were not for the regulations of the car dealership, he would even want to sleep in the North District on horseback.

However, such days will soon be over.

Luo Xiang has accumulated enough gold coins, a full forty-six coins, and with another four gold coins, he can try to advance to become a 4th-level city guard spearman.

The city guard spearman is a noble combat soldier, responsible for night patrols in the North District, and can get a separate dormitory in the North District military camp!

This is his chance to rise to the top in one step.

The drivers of the carriage company were all urging Tuo Xiang to think carefully. Combat troops were so risky that he might be taken by some hero to fight wild monsters and become cannon fodder. Moreover, he would have to be the first to fight when the monsters attacked the city.

But Luo Xiang thought clearly.

He asked the nobles riding in his carriage and found out that the city guards were a special troop for defending the city, and all their special skills would only work during the city defense battle.

Unless the hero had a brain seizure, he would never take the city guards out of the city.

As for attacking the city.

This is Long Tongue Port City!

One of the safest main cities in the southern part of Elashia, there is no wild monster attacking the city in ten years.

Luo Xiang touched the blue flower on his chest.

It's not that Luo Xiang wants to fight to the death. He is married and has a child.

His wife is a fisherwoman he met when he was a fisherman. She just gave birth to a fat boy for him a while ago and is short of money.

He had calculated that if he could become a city guard spearman, as long as he could live peacefully for five years, he would be able to save the gold coins to advance to level 5.

If by luck he starts the path of a hero and becomes a hero, then he can be like those nobles.

My not-beautiful but considerate wife and young son no longer have to suffer.

Thinking of a better life in the future, Luo Xiang made a big mistake.

He diverted the luxurious carriage onto a road dedicated to the church.

"Get off!!!"

"Hey!!"

A loud roar made Luo Xiang's horse stand up in fright, raise its hooves high, and start running.

Luo Xiang broke into a cold sweat and quickly used his own special skills to calm the horse.

But it was too late.

"There's an assassin!"

"Saint Protector!"

It’s over!

Luo Xiang's heart dropped.

Blood spills into the sky.

It's not Luo Xiang's, but Luo Xiang would rather it be his.

The huge horse was cut in two by the 4th and 5th level Holy Guards. The Holy Guards flew up and kicked the horse.

The carriage, which was as big as a small car, turned over and Luo Xiang was thrown to the ground. His arm was scratched on the rough white stone ground, causing a large gash.

Luo Xiang felt burning pain from his shoulder blades to his big arms, and some small rough stones were embedded in his flesh.

But he didn't care. He turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowing vigorously.

Bang! His head hit the white stone, as if he wanted to smash his head into pieces, fearing that the sound was not loud enough.

I can't die. What will they do if I die? They are still waiting for me.

Regardless of the buzzing in his head, Luo Xiang used all his strength to shout:

"Holy Angel! I am not an assassin! The horse is frightened!

Holy angels above! The horse was frightened.

I'm not an assassin! "

Luo Xiang wanted to raise his head and kowtow again, but he failed to raise his head halfway and his head was stepped on.

The Holy Guards stepped on Luo Xiang's head with heavy white fine iron boots, pressed his entire face on the white stone, raised the sword with angel wings on the handle, and placed it on Luo Xiang's head. on the neck.

"You mean it's not true? Tell me honestly, who ordered you to assassinate the Saint? Are you a spy of Kerrigan (Hell)?"

Luo Xiang's face was pressed against the white stone, and his nose bones felt like they were crushed. His chin and lips were pressed against the rough white stone, and he couldn't open them at all. He could only exhale and purr.

"Hmph, the spy is quite brave and he didn't say anything yet, then I'll send you on your way!"

The Holy Guards raised their heavy swords and prepared to chop them down.

"Gulu, grunt, grunt!" Luo Xiang's body shook violently and he tried his best. His chin and lips were bruised by the white stone, and he could only let out a desperate whimper.

"enough!"

The wind pressure of the giant sword seemed to pierce through the coarse cloth on Luo Xiang's back, and the hairs all over his body stood up.

A priest holding a book in his hand and wearing a high hat looked at Tuo Xiang who was stepped on by the Holy Guards, and said to the Holy Guards:

"The Holy Lady is kind-hearted and can't bear to see this.

Let go and stop scaring him. "

"yes!"

The Holy Guard raised his feet and carried the giant sword behind his back.

frighten?

Luo Xiang felt the painful blood marks on his back, and felt panic and panic in his heart.

Is this a scare? If you didn't say anything, I would have died.

But Luo Xiang didn't dare to say anything. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if he were pounding garlic. He didn't even dare to raise his head to look at the boots that had trampled his face.

He didn't make a sound, and he didn't ask for mercy again.

Luo Xiang knew that anything he said was useless. Opposite was the Holy Angel Church, and if they wanted to kill him, it would be no more difficult than squeezing an ant to death.

For the sake of his family, he couldn't die.

Now, the only hope is the saint. Only the saint sees him as pitiful and can she give him alms to survive.

"High Priest, after checking it, it's just an ordinary carriage."

examine?

Luo Xiang then recalled that when he was lying on the ground just now, there was the sound of wooden boards being smashed.

Has your carriage been "inspected"?

Luo Xiang's heart was cold, his blood was cold, and his hands and feet were cold.

He was like an emotionless machine, kowtowing all the time.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The high priest walked to the carriage and opened a corner of the carriage's curtain.

The high priest nodded three times, came back, and said loudly: "The Holy Lady speaks!"

In an instant, all the priests and crusaders present, including the Holy Crusaders in front of God Luo Xiang, stood solemnly.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Only the ignorant Luo Xiang continued to kowtow, which seemed particularly harsh in the silence.

But he soon realized something was wrong and stopped quickly, motionless.

The high priest glanced at Luo Xiang with disgust and continued:

"The Holy Lady said.

Inadvertent mistakes should not be severely punished!

The Archangel once became a mortal and was scolded by the Crusaders in the army.

The Archangel never criticized the Crusaders.

Because the Crusaders had no intention of scolding the Archangel.

He had no intention of attacking the church and should not be punished. "

"The words of the saint! They are the holy words!

The words of an angel! That is the word of God! "

It sounded like he was saved. But Luo Xiang's hands and feet were shaking and he could hardly kneel down.

He finally realized who he was bumping into.

There is only one saint in the entire Longgue Port City.

The legendary hero Adela.

That was the supreme being who had more power than the city lord. Even the city lord, who was also a legend, had to be under her jurisdiction.

He could only silently hope that this scene was not seen by other nobles in the northern district.

Otherwise, a very tragic fate would be waiting for him.

"The Saint Lady is kind-hearted. I will spare your life. You are lucky. Clean up this area."

Someone said something near Luo Xiang, and then the sound of carriages and heavy armor stepping on the ground was heard.

Luo Xiang waited until the sound was almost inaudible before kneeling and raising his head.

The horse lying in a pool of blood and the luxurious carriage that was dismantled into pieces finally overwhelmed Luo Xiang, and he lay on the ground powerlessly.

The crisis of death had just passed, and the suffering of life followed.

Whether it was a horse or a carriage, they were rented and had to be compensated.

A small horse worth more than a dozen gold coins could not pull a large cart.

A tall horse that could pull such a large cart cost 60 gold coins, and a luxurious carriage that pulled nobles cost nearly 200 gold coins.

A full 260 gold coins!

Luo Xiang's dream was shattered.

The military camp's investigation would find out that he had once colliding with the troops of the Saint Lady - the legendary hero Adela. Even if he successfully transferred to the city guard spearman, no military camp would dare to accept him.

260 gold coins.

If he could continue to drive a carriage in the North District, it would take at least 5 years for his family to pay off the debt even if they didn't eat or drink.

But this was only in theory.

The car dealership would calculate the interest for him, plus the normal expenses of the family.

Luo Xiang couldn't calculate it clearly, but he knew that it would take a lifetime.

This money might have to be paid back for a lifetime.

Moreover, after such a big accident, it couldn't be concealed, and the car dealership would no longer rent a carriage to him.

He could only go to the Chamber of Commerce to run a long-distance carriage and exchange his life for money.

He owed so much debt and had to leave home. Would his wife and children be bullied?

What if I died?

Would the car dealership force my wife to pay back the debt that I couldn't pay off?

It was just a mistake, an unconscious collision, and Luo Xiang was forced into a desperate situation.

All the efforts he had made were in vain, and the miserable life in the future was certain.

For a moment, with mixed feelings, Luo Xiang finally couldn't hold back his tears, which flowed down the corners of his eyes and irritated the wounds on his chin and lips.

It hurt.

"Well. This horse meat is of good quality."

Luo Xiang heard a voice behind him, and his heart skipped a beat.

It's over, I was seen by people in the North City District!

He turned his head hurriedly.

The white cloak was draped over the man, and the hood covered his face, shrouding his face in shadow.

This dazzling white is exactly the same color as the angel wing emblem of the Holy Angel Church.

Did the people of the Holy Angel Church regret it and want to kill them all?

"No! No! No!

Please, have mercy on me, I can't die!"

Luo Xiang shed tears, climbed up, and wanted to kowtow.

He didn't kowtow.

A pair of strong hands cushioned under his head and lifted his head.

"No need to do that, just buying something. Don't be afraid."

The other party's voice sounded hoarse and pleasant, Luo Xiang had never heard such a pleasant voice in his life.

Even the tender voice of the tiger girl who came to his village when he was a child was not as pleasant as this voice.

Buy something? Buy what? Buy my life?

Does he mean that I should not ask for mercy, I will die anyway.

Qi Ge lifted Luo Xiang's head and helped him sit down.

Qi Ge stood up, patted Luo Xiang's shoulder, and pointed to the horse that was cut in half.

"Medium-sized mottled pack horse, uneven patterns, a little old, between 41 and 45 gold coins, bargain, 30 gold coins can be reduced, if it is a dead horse, 15 gold coins."

Hearing the gold coins, Luo Xiang's heart became sensitive.

It is this price, but the car dealer will not calculate it this way, they will only let him pay the highest 60 gold coins. From what this person said, he wants to buy it?

There is such a good thing!

Luo Xiang's cold heart began to beat again.

Although the dead horse is far less valuable than a live one, it can still make some money and reduce the debt.

No!

Luo Xiang suddenly thought that this horse was the one he had used to collide with the church. If he sold it to him, he might get into trouble.

But if he could sell it for 15 gold coins, he could at least pay off five or six years of debt.

What should he do?

Luo Xiang's struggle lasted only a few seconds.

Just because Qi Ge had just helped him up, Luo Xiang felt that he must not let Qi Ge down.

"Sir, I can't sell this horse to you."

Qi Ge looked at him, didn't answer, and continued to talk to himself.

"Although it's a dead horse, I need it urgently, add 20 gold coins.

This horse has been killed for me, saving me the trouble, add another 10 gold coins.

The meat is firm and looks very appetizing, add another 20 gold coins.

The total is 65 gold coins, what do you think?"

The sound of nature.

To Luo Xiang, Qi Ge's voice seemed to come from the horizon.

It was the first time Luo Xiang saw someone bargaining like this, and the more he bargained, the more he got.

But Luo Xiang was sure that the other party was definitely not a fool without a brain.

Just based on the other party's comments and quotes for his packhorse just now, ordinary people can't get in touch with it.

As a coachman who has been working for two or three years, I only vaguely know some of it.

He is helping me.

Luo Xiang understood, but also felt more guilty.

"Sir, I really cannot sell this horse to you. I just broke into the church. Buying this horse may cause you trouble."

Luo Xiang didn't know where he got the courage to say this. He was about to drown. A life-saving straw was handed to him, but he wanted to push it away.

Qi Ge still talked to himself as if he hadn't heard Luo Xiang's words.

"Well, to eat roasted horse meat, you also need some firewood and wood as a shelf."

Qi Ge pointed to the luxurious carriage behind the horses.

“This is good.

Good dry firewood, and blankets to support the burning.

There is actually an incense burner where you can smoke the horsehide while roasting the horsemeat.

That gives me a total of 220 gold coins, and including the horses, I get a total of 285 gold coins.

I don't like change, so I'll just give it 300 gold coins.

I didn't buy it cheaper for you. Otherwise, sell it to me? "

Luo Xiang understood, he knew.

He knows everything, but he still wants to help himself.

Even when he had just faced despair, Luo Xiang only shed a few tears, but at this time, he couldn't stop crying.

He plopped down and knelt at Qi Ge's feet, wailing as if he wanted to vent all his strength.

"My lord! Ooooh! My lord!"

Woo woo, your kindness, woo woo, my life is all yours. "

Qi Ge helped him up and said, "Level 3 NPC troops, even the logistics troops, are worth 80 gold coins. Don't sell yourself cheap."

"What do you mean, did you sell the horse and carriage?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Don't just cry. Do you want to sell it? If you want to sell it, just nod. If not, I can leave."

Luo Xiang used up the remaining strength and nodded crazily as if he wanted to shake his head off.

[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for accepting the task: purchasing Luo Xiang’s horse and carriage]

Qi Ge raised the corners of his mouth under his hood, lined up 300 gold coins in front of Luo Xiang, turned around, waved his hand, and the horses and carriage disappeared.

"I see that your carriage has the emblem of Vanilla Cars on it. You should be renting this carriage.

If you can't explain it to your boss, tell your boss that I forcibly bought this carriage and horse for 230 gold coins.

I'm a hero, you can't say no.

If your boss wants to pursue it, ask him to come to me with this. "

Qi Ge handed Luo Xiang a flag with seven white doves drawn on it.

While Luo Xiang was receiving the flag, Qi Ge helped him up again and bent down to pick up the blue Nalan flower.

Blue flowers and red flowers can be seen everywhere in Erathia, but in Longgue Port City, they have a special meaning.

Becoming a father for the first time.

The blue ones hold blue flowers to represent boys, and the red ones hold red flowers to represent girls.

Qi Ge took the blue flower and pinned it on Luo Xiang's chest again, and then released several healing spells to heal all the wounds on Luo Xiang's body. Even the stones in Luo Xiang's wounds were removed.

Luo Xiang wanted to express his gratitude very much, but the repeated stimulation of joy and sorrow made him cry until he could not speak.

"Wear it after wearing it. If the clothes are torn, go buy a new one. Don't let your wife worry."

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Benefactor, you wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”

"My name is Qi Ge, the president of the Timely Rain Chamber of Commerce. If anything happens, come to me at the Champs Hotel in the North District.

I will probably live there during this time. "

Qi Ge patted Luo Xiang on the shoulder and turned around to return to the team.

Luo Xiang looked at a dozen handsome knights riding on horses, all wearing military badges on their chests. They were all heroes!

The leading hero held a long, large flag with seven white doves painted on it.

And the horses of the dozen or so heroes are all the best solid-colored war horses, each worth more than five thousand gold.

Luo Xiang watched Qi Ge walk back to the team. A dozen heroes all dismounted and led their horses to follow behind him.

Watch Qige leave surrounded by a group of heroes.

Luo Xiang knelt down solemnly and kowtowed three times slowly in the direction Qi Ge left.

His movements were very light, and there was no sound when his head hit the ground, but every time he hit it, his heart hit the ground.

[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for accepting the task: purchasing Luo Xiang’s horse and carriage]

"Master Seven Pigeons! How is it?"

Meteor led the horse, held up the flag, approached Qi Ge, and asked in a low voice.

Qi Ge pretended not to care and glanced at the corner not far away. A small corner was exposed at the hem of a nun's monastic uniform.

Qi Ge was so familiar with the nun's monastic uniform that he would not recognize it even if it turned into ashes.

So Qi Ge raised his eyebrows and typed four words in the team channel:

"all the best."
