Chapter 25 Huaiyi Merchants
But no matter what Zhang Cheng felt, the others were excited almost immediately.
"But, those evil things..." someone asked. "Does other gods care?"
"Can you care?" a companion retorted. "Er Fu is the God of Killing, and he cannot kill the target. Other gods should be even more impossible. So he chose to seal it."
"It feels like it's dangerous. We have equipment like this," someone said. "It's okay to deal with ordinary dangers, but it's probably not possible to deal with that kind of real war. We must at least have the ability to defend ourselves..."
The group left with a giggle. The entire dungeon quickly recovered its previous silence.
After a long time, a slight noise suddenly sounded at the corner of the emperor's altar in the dungeon. A shadow on the ceiling suddenly separated into two pieces, one of which fell silently on the ground, and then merged into the darkness again.
After a while, after confirming that there were no magic or physical traps left in this place, a dark figure walked out of the darkness. A pair of red eyes seemed to burning coal in the darkness, and a ghostly shadow extended behind it, like a black cloak.
"The daughter of Erfu...the great witch...the evil thing..." The figure was whispering to himself. "It's really interesting."
After carefully looking at it, the black shadow did not go directly into the passage, but chose to turn around and leave. "It seems that there is something fun."
The night passed quickly. After getting up early in the morning, Jia came to report someone to ask for a meeting. Not surprisingly, Zhang Cheng saw Bu.
Bu reported two news. The first was that a group of Huaiyi came outside. He seemed to have secretly peeked at the underground entrance, but did not enter in the end. The second was that he heard a noise from the dungeon last night, which seemed to be the sound of a battle, but the duration was very short.
"How many people are there in Huaiyi?"
"Not many, three or four," Bu reported. "With vehicles and cargo, it seems that it is a small caravan, and it seems that there are no witches or alchemists in the team."
This should not be the case. Before departure, Doctor Kunwu and Huang Gong had speculated that the number of the Inurong Special Envoy (perhaps the Dongyi Special Envoy) this time should be around 7 or 8 people, no more than 10 people, but not less than 5 people. Moreover, there must be powerful spell casters in the team. Because there are too few people, there are great risks, and it is easy to attract attacks on the road. If there are too many people, it will attract attention, and it will not be worth the loss.
On the contrary, Doctor Kunwu has much less restrictions and can directly send a small army to this side.
As for the sound of last night, there is no need to ask, because Zhang Cheng himself is a member of the scene.
Zhang Cheng took out some money from him and gave it to Bu. He asked by the way, "How is your sister's situation?"
He had never expected that his casual questioning made him cry so much that he almost burst into tears. It seemed that although this world was polite, they were all superior people, at least among the common people, and the treatment of Chinese people. Slaves did not have this qualification.
Bu's sister's situation can only be said to have not deteriorated and not improved much. After all, for example, supplementing nutrition cannot be changed overnight. What Zhang Cheng can do is to advise him to buy some food for his sister.
Bu left quickly, and Zhang Cheng decided to carefully consider the development of the timeline. Because if he went in with the wizard, Xiaoya and others this time... it would be a route that was completely unrelated to the game line. What would happen inside? Is it a danger or opportunity completely uncontrollable.
If it were the past, Zhang Cheng might give up after weighing the pros and cons. But now that he has carried so many weapons and equipment, and has the card "Dimensional Crack" and the bear as his confidence, he feels that even if there are risks, it is worth a try.
Master Lu looks very mysterious, but in fact he is very weak at the beginning, and his strength depends entirely on accumulation. Zhang Cheng has not yet found the trick to create biological cards, so he cannot create biological cards. In this case, it is very important to get some "heavy treasure artifacts" as protective objects.
Even young animals can easily break free from the brigade wizard, but there is no problem with items that cannot move.
The puzzle of the game timeline has been basically completed, but there are still some questions about the details, especially where the Banshee comes from.
In the game, no matter whether it is hatred, banshee or Rakshasa demon, there is no plot dialogue. The three bosses start fighting when they meet, without any bargaining or spending money to eliminate disasters. Zhang Cheng is also a little confused about what the Rakshasa demon is. It is obvious that in the game timeline, Xiaoya arranged a subordinate to guard outside before entering the tunnel. She was hanging inside, but the Rakshasa demon could not leave - this is easy to understand: if Zhang Cheng died in Xiaxu, then Jia would definitely be able to stay here and not go back to Kunwu City, because he would die if he would go back, and the unlucky Rakshasa demon could only wait for his master to come back with the last glimmer of hope. When this unfortunate security guard who had no rest meets the game player, whether it is hostility between races or full of resentment and wants to vent it, it will lead him to actively attack the player. Of course, facing the player who can read and save the disk, he can only become an experience value in the end.
But what exactly is the Banshee... Zhang Cheng thought about it all over and over, and the biggest possibility was Xiaoya.
If it develops according to the game line time, then Nanling will die unjustly, and then resurrect as an undead creature and become a ghost. So will Xiaoya become that banshee?
This idea will be uncontrollable. After thinking about it, the more I think about it, the more I feel it.
If Xiaoya dies, then what about that unknown evil thing? Obviously, in the game plot line, this evil thing is not as good as that. If it rushes out of the ground and starts a massacre, it is obvious that residents of other communities will be affected.
So... are the evil things dead?
If the evil thing is not dead, its appearance will make other survivors anxious. It is hard to imagine that the commerce commerce in the trade zone ignores it and continues to do business here.
No, even if the incident happened at night and no one else saw anything, it would still cause chaos. Everyone in a community was dead, and those travelers were still not leaving here... This is obviously illogical.
In the face of danger, it is just a matter of running away quickly. Even if it is a businessman who claims to be worth money and life, it is just a businessman. Realistic contact made Zhang Cheng understand that businessman is also an ordinary person. If he really chooses one of money or life, his life is obviously much more important than money.
The more Zhang Cheng thought about it, the more he became more and more confused. Something must have happened. Because of this incident, these travelers were fully confident that the disaster would not affect them. So they calmly stayed and continued to trade. Some people even came forward to recruit volunteers to destroy the undead creatures (of course, the player took on the task in the end).
I couldn't figure it out for a moment. But I could vaguely guess that the evil thing was killed in the end.
It was probably because of the scene of evil beings being killed that everyone understood that the disaster was over.
From this point of view, although Xiaoya will hang it inside when she goes alone, things may become completely different if she adds wizards and a group of time travelers with good levels.
As he thought about it, sleepiness slowly climbed into his mind. Zhang Cheng lay on the floor... Alas, although this body has not actually enjoyed the soft bed, he really hopes to have a bed.
Next time I go back and forth, I have to find a way to get some equipment for myself in addition to weapons. But when I think about this, it will lead to the exposure of the identity of the brigade mage... Alas, is the final problem really going through time?
My mind was drowsy and my sleepiness began to surge.
No words all night.
After dawn, Zhang Cheng decided to go to the trade zone to take a look. As mentioned earlier, there are basically new people coming in the trade zone every day. These travelers often sell those cards. Zhang Cheng didn't know about it before, but now he also understands it. The cards of the Wizard's cards are very useless in this world. Ordinary beasts have limited strength and are not as good as those of the widows. All those truly powerful cards require resources. Such resources cannot be provided by the Wizard, so the cards cannot be used.
However, for Zhang Cheng, who is already a wizard, these cards are very valuable.
Zhang Cheng easily met the lizard men mentioned in the trade zone. As mentioned earlier, the trade zone is not the only one in the world, and the ogre before is the best example. However, there is no team of Quanrong among the merchants. There is Quanrong, but it is only very individual. You can tell at a glance that it belongs to the role of guards or hardworking.
There are four of these lizard men, the leader of the lizard men, with brown scales. Although they are lizard men, they wear clothes similar to humans, but they do not put their tails in their clothes like Lizard men. The lizard men's muscle system is different from humans. From a human perspective, they will feel that these alien expressions are rigid and there is no emotion. However, this lizard men are definitely an exception. The muscles on his face are very active and can reflect various expressions. Combined with his tone, tone, and body movements of his speech, anyone can easily see that this lizard men are definitely a businessman.
The other lizard men are different. They all hold spears and wear armor - not the kind of broken armor of unknown material that Zhang Cheng had seen before, but are all made of metal and leather, which looks more exquisite. You can see from the posture that these three lizard men should be guards.
Seeing these lizard men guards, Zhang Cheng instinctively remembered the lizard men warriors who appeared in Act 4. In the game, if you put the mouse on these lizard men, you can see that their name is "Lizard men elite soldiers". These guys are not comparable to those lizard men and soldiers in Act 1. Of course, in Act 4, the players are also at level 15 and 6, and their equipment is also up, far from being the rookie newbies in Act 5 and 6. In front of the players at level 15 and 6, these lizard men elite soldiers are just fish that provide experience value.
Seeing Zhang Cheng coming to the door, the lizardman merchant almost burst into laughter and took out everything to show it. Zhang Cheng casually bought some specialties such as dried fruits and asked about the card.
The Lizardman Merchant has no cards, but he thought for a long time and asked himself to ask if he could get it. However, the price of this approach is that Zhang Cheng has to pay a high price. Not only that, Zhang Cheng also has to pay a deposit in advance.
This condition was not attractive at all, so Zhang Cheng turned and left and tried his luck at other new merchants. Even he did not notice the gloomy smile on the face of the lizardman after he turned around and left. Of course, even if he saw it, he would think that this should be a normal resentment that could not be done in a business.
"Is it him?" After Zhang Cheng walked away, the Lizardman businessman asked to his subordinates around him.
"Yes, sir, he is right." said a subordinate.
"It's so interesting... The people who will come to block us in the oracle." The Lizardman merchant gently scratched the scales on his chin with his hands. "But I can't see what's so powerful about him... it's not very strong."
"Sir, he may just be a scout and a spy. It doesn't matter whether he is powerful or not." His subordinate replied modestly. "He may not be powerful at all, but he can still block us."
"Well, could it be that army? Those idiots..." The Lizardman merchant sneered. "How long does it take for those soldiers to move forward at full speed?"
"It's been half an hour..." his subordinate said uncertainly. "If it's necessary, can we find a way to test it?"
"So it's useless, right? It's impossible to block us unless they get the news in advance!"
"This," the subordinates could not answer. "But the oracle will not make any mistakes." This is especially true for the oracle that cost a huge price.
"The oracle is just a guide, not an iron rule." The Lizardman merchant replied. "And, the oracle says he is an alien?"
"The oracle did not say it clearly, but we can only understand it so." said the subordinate.
"Zhu Xia was prepared, but they were just in vain after all." The Lizardman businessman stared at Zhang Cheng's back, watched him reach a stall, and bargain with the merchant. "They didn't know that sacrificial things might take half a day, or... they might only take a stick of incense."
"Sir, all the Xia capitals pay attention to this." said the subordinate. "Only a complete ritual can the devotion to the gods..."
"Yes, but if you want to do something else, then an incomplete ritual is enough." The Lizardman Merchant interrupted his subordinates. "In addition, specific time, specific astrology, specific environment... can reduce the steps and time-consuming of sacrifice. If it really doesn't work, you can confess to the gods in advance and obtain the gods' understanding... However, Zhu Xia must have not considered so much!"
He watched Zhang Cheng finish a shopping or just patronize a stall and buy nothing - he couldn't see clearly from this perspective.
"However, since the oracle has some guidance..." the Lizardman merchant whispered. "How about we kill him directly?"
"No!" his subordinates quickly advised. "Killing a scout is easy, but it may be of no use to alarm the enemy!"
