Chapter 32 The First Transaction
In the abandoned hotel outside the Beifeng Mine, five oxen-drawn wagons were parked beside the dirt road covered with weeds.
Several fierce-looking men got out of the car and moved boxes and boxes of goods into the stables in the backyard of the hotel, and then dragged a few sacks containing money out of the straw stack.
Beside the caravan, Jack was waiting anxiously. When he saw his men coming over, he immediately asked.
pace you… a total of 50,000 Austrian silver.†The man said with sweating profusely.
I don’t know if the necromancer has any quirks, but all he gave me were coins, and they were in bulk.
There are dozens of versions of silver coins issued by the Austro Empire, each with different sizes and silver content.
And not to mention copper coins, due to the large amount of use among the people, the Aussie Empire had long ago transferred the right to mint Austrian copper to the local area. So much so that not only the Os Empire is building it, but the Kingdom of Lane is building it, and even Archduke Campbell is building it.
While counting the money, he actually found a 6th edition silver coin minted in the early First Era in the sack!
This thing is almost becoming an antique, isn't it? !
Jack didn't care whether the money given by the other party was banknotes or coins. Anyway, he would either deposit it in the bank or exchange it for gold bars.
Hhearing this number that was in line with expectations, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his worried heart was relieved.
On the one hand, he was glad that the noble necromancer really wanted to do business with him, instead of simply blackmailing him.
On the other hand, he was also glad that he suppressed his fleeting greed and did not fool that adult about the quality of the equipment.
50,000 Aoyin is exactly 5% higher than the market price.
Obviously, this Lord Necromancer knows something about the prices in Thunder City!
Deducting the cost of purchasing goods and transportation, he can earn about 25% profit, which is considered worthy of the risk he takes.
If nothing else happens, he can continue this business for a long time!
Just when Jack was thinking this, he suddenly saw a man with a big sword standing under the crooked neck tree in the distance.
Although the man was wearing a cloak and the brim of the hood almost covered his entire face, he could still tell that it was Bond.
At least half of them are.
After meeting his gaze, Bond turned around and walked towards the direction of the mine.
Knowing that this was the necromancer summoning him, Jack smiled bitterly.
Although he was extremely reluctant, he still told his subordinates what to do here, and followed them by himself.
At the entrance of the mine, Bond stopped.
Before the Necromancer could speak, Jack bowed his head respectfully, like a truly devout believer.
"Mr. Luo Yan, what are your orders?"
Like last time, the mysterious necromancer still did not reveal his true face, but chose to borrow the zombies' mouths.
"Three days later," Bond said in a hoarse voice, and suddenly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, are you a Bronze-level warrior?"
Jack was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the Necromancer suddenly asked this, but he still nodded.
"What's wrong?"
Bond continued to ask.
Jack nodded nervously.
"Yes, I know a few...but I only know the most basic ones."
Since he became the leader of the Viper Gang, he has not been out fighting for a long time. The two skills he knows were learned when he was an adventurer.
In the underground streets, the role of extraordinary power is limited.
After all, people with real abilities are either guests of the lord, or they have gone to the Knights of Saint Sith, and they will not mix with low-class guys like them at all.
Jack didn't know why the adult in front of him suddenly asked him this.
But just when he was doubting, he heard a sentence that made his heart tremble.
presumablyHave a chop on me . ) .
The moment he heard this sentence, Jack felt his legs were weak, and the expression on his face was uglier than crying.
"Dear Mr. Necromancer... I have offended you somewhere."
Bond stared at him and frowned.
"Offended? Are you overthinking, I just want to see how you fight... Pull out your sword, don't hesitate."
Seeing that the zombie in front of him had drawn out his sword, Jack silently prayed to the Demon God bitterly in his heart, while suppressing the fear in his heart and pulled out the one-handed sword hanging from his waist.
· Bond held the sword horizontally in front of him and repeated the Lord Demon King's orders in a hoarse voice.
"Very good, use your strongest blow to cut it... Move quickly, if you don't make a move, I will strike first."
"I move! I move!"
Jack hurriedly assumed an offensive stance, took a deep breath, concentrated, and used all the extraordinary power in his body to focus on the top of the blade, racking his brains to recall the almost forgotten combat skills.
On the other side, in the shadow of the mine.
Luo Yan, who was holding the video crystal ball in his right hand, was recording while using his "eye of true seeing" to observe the flow of "extraordinary power" throughout Jack's body.
In this world, warriors are mainly divided into two categories.
One type is the "Temple Sect", and the other is the "Dragon God Sect".
The former are mainly paladins, templars, magistrates, etc. who are loyal to the temple. They mainly rely on the power given by Saint Sith and fight under the illumination of the holy light.
As for the latter, they use the fighting techniques that are said to have been inherited from the Mythic Era - that is, the First Era. They imitate the dragon clan to control the power called "Qi" to fight!
As for things like magic swordsmen, magic archers, and magic gunners, they are not mainstream.
Before understanding the other side of the world, Luo Yan always regarded "Qi" as a special energy that exists in the human body.
However, after listening to Yuyou's explanation, he had a new understanding of this power that he had never mastered.
Whether it is "qi", the power of elements, or other extraordinary powers... they are essentially the same thing!
It has no specific shape and cannot even be observed under normal circumstances, but it does exist in this planet and even in this universe!
Not just existence.
It can also sense and respond to the spiritual energy emitted by "conscious individuals" and embody it into observable "things".
At first people just used it to light a fire, pray for a drop of nectar, or pick an apple from the tree.
Later, people were eager for more, so they gradually tried to gather everyone's "spiritual power" to create gods, and then used the hands of gods to restrain and concentrate the extraordinary power. Rather than each person individually imagining raindrops of different shapes, it is better to gather everyone's strength to make a hearty rain.
After gathering everyone's power, people gradually began to discover that this great power could do more than just make it rain or burn down a city.
As long as they are willing, in the name of God, they can let the sun come to the earth, let the moon never rise, let good people continue to be reborn in good homes in the next life, let people turn into the appearance of beasts, or gain eternal life -
Even, continue to write the unfinished laws of the Creator!
「Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Finally finishing charging up, Jack took a step forward and swung the sword blade in his hand fiercely.
An invisible blade was released along the edge of the sword, slashing at Bond with a cutting-edge momentum.
Just as Luo Yan expected.
That is neither the shock wave generated by the explosion nor some kind of gas released after compression!
It is an extraordinary power purely in the name of "qi"!
In other words, the power system called "Dragon God Sect" created by the dragon gods!
Even with the buff exerted by Luo Yan, Bond almost exhausted all his strength in order to take the blow. The steel sword even left a mark as thick as an index finger!
Luo Yan was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that this seemingly cowardly group of men in front of him could actually have such strength?
What Luo Yan didn't know was that Jack was even more surprised at this moment, even shocked.
Although he is not a peerless master, he has been promoted to bronze for many years.
In his impression, there is no player of the same level who can take this "kill" move!
Most people either jumped back to distance themselves and watched him chop on the floor, or they did not give him a chance to use this move at all, or they stabbed him several times in a row to force him to give up accumulating energy.
Could it be...
The zombies summoned by the necromancer also have the strength of fine steel level? !
Then how terrifying is the strength of this necromancer? !
Jack felt his head was buzzing.
He is a rough man with little education. He has only hung out in the underground streets of Thunder City. His understanding of necromancy is only based on what he heard from his poker friends.
"It's not bad... so-so."
Luo Yan, who was controlling Bond, stuck the big sword in his hand on the ground and gave an expressionless evaluation, and then continued.
"What's the name of this move?"
"We usually call it beheading." Panting, Jack carefully glanced at the big sword and said nervously, "Sorry...can I give you one for this?"
Such a big steel sword is not cheap.
A quarter of the profit was directly used. Jack felt a heartache in his heart and could only comfort himself by treating it as a favor investment.
In contrast.
It is even more terrifying to be put in small shoes by a necromancer.
Luo Yan did not refuse, manipulating Bond to nod silently, and then continued.
"How to use this trick? Is there any formula or trick?"
Most of the temple sect's combat skills require shouting out the skills, just like chanting a spell.
But I heard that the skills of the Dragon God sect do not require chanting incantations. They only need to use the Qi control method taught by the Dragon God to the tribe.
Jack scratched the back of his head, thought for a while and said.
"There is no secret formula... Anyway, the friend who taught me this trick told me that just accumulate the energy on the blade and then chop it out with all your strength." Luo Yan took out a palm-sized mirror from his pocket, glanced at Youyou, and saw that the latter transformed into a thumb, so he put away the mirror and crystal ball in his hand.
Yuyou's answer told him that these clues were enough.
At the same time, Bond, who was standing with a sword, looked at Jack, nodded, and spoke.
"Very good, please step back."
Seeing that the necromancer finally let him go, Jack breathed a sigh of relief, as if a thousand kilograms of burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
Looking at Bond standing motionless at the entrance of the cave, he asked more out of curiosity.
"Dear Mr. Luo Yan, may I ask...what do you intend to do after learning this? Ah, please don't get me wrong. I don't mean to pry into your privacy. I just want to say that if you are interested in the adventurer's fighting style, I can help you bring some related books and video crystals when you come next time."
Experiment.
He didn't want to know what the Necromancer's experiment was.
However, this gentleman showed a keen interest in his information.
"Remember to bring a copy of those documents and give them to me with the next batch of goods."
After a pause, Luo Yan controlled Bond and continued.
"And, that big sword."
"Understood! I must keep it in mind!"
Jack nodded slightly, with a flattering smile on his face, and stepped back respectfully.
"It's an honor for me to share your worries!"
On the other side, Zhiqiu Yiye, who had just received the "accompanying reward" from the Demon King, was standing in front of the counter of the only NPC store in the Demon King's territory to make a selection.
At present, only he and Hu Wan can afford to spend money in this store.
Long Xingwanli watched from the side with envy in his eyes.
It’s a pity.
There are too few people in the server now, otherwise he would directly acquire the Hades Coin at a ratio of 1:1.
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and he did not believe that anyone could resist the temptation and not sell to him.
Just when Yiye Zhiqiu was debating whether to change his next weapon to a steel spear or save some money and wait for the development team to remember to put the wand in the store, a line of dark green pop-up windows suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
【a.0.3 update: Skill system! 】
He was obviously not the only one who received this pop-up window.
At that moment——
The entire Demon King Territory was boiling!
