Chapter 55 Chaoyang Town
Liuling City, as the political and economic center of Wushan Province, is undoubtedly much bigger than other cities. Blackstone City naturally cannot be compared.
A huge mansion is located in the center of Liuling City. Judging from this area alone, it occupies at least one-quarter of Liuling City's territory.
This mansion is where the Shumida family, the real ruler of Wushan Province, lives. Two majestic stone lions stand on both sides of the mansion, which are vividly portrayed.
When others saw this grand mansion, they all extended their thumbs and praised it.
At this time, three men in black hurried to the door of the mansion. They were about to enter, but were stopped by the two guards who were guarding: "I'm sorry, please show the token!"
"Token? You blinded your dog's eyes. Don't know who I am?" The man in black in the middle cursed angrily, and at the same time, regardless of the two guards' obstruction, he walked in directly.
The two brothers behind him also followed in anger, and the two guards at the door stared at each other, feeling a little at a loss.
"What's wrong with them?" the guard on the left asked quietly.
"You know, but looking at them like that, it's probably because of the mission failure." Perhaps thinking of the rude actions of the three of them before, the guard on the right smiled sarcastically, "It seems that they will definitely be punished by the adults this time."
After three men in black entered, they immediately entered a dark room.
There was a man sitting in the back of his back. The seven-star great sword master in the middle and the two brothers beside him looked at each other and quickly knelt on one knee: "Report to the master, our mission has failed."
"Failed? Could it be that the prohibition I prepared for you failed?" The adult did not turn around, but instead smiled softly. The laughter made the three of them feel a little scared.
The man in black in the middle said ashamed: "After some accident, the restriction successfully restricted Haitian. But who thought that Haitian would actually have a rare flying sword skill. He escaped directly into the air and was too fast. When we used Kabu Net to chase him, who knew that Kabu Net suddenly failed."
"Is the Kabu Net invalid?" Hearing the answer of the man in black in the middle, the adult in the seat raised his eyebrows in surprise, and seemed to be a little surprised in his tone.
"Yes, we just threw it out, but the Kabu Net seemed to have completely lost its target in the air and slowly fell down, which made Haitian get rid of our pursuit." The man in black in the middle explained helplessly.
This action made them three great swordsmen come to deal with a six-star swordsman, which made them feel unhappy. They thought they were sure to have a sure action, but who would have escaped easily by the other party, and now they have to face punishment.
The adults on the seat did not speak anymore, but fell into deep thought.
The quiet atmosphere scared the three great sword masters even more frightened, fearing that the adults would punish them severely. They all closed their mouths and kept praying in their hearts.
"You three should understand what the consequences of the failure of the mission? Go, go to the execution hall by yourself and each person breaks an arm!" The adult on the seat's tone was very relaxed, without any change.
"Broke each of us an arm?" Hearing this punishment, the three men in black screamed.
"What? Do you want to violate my order?" The adult on the seat frowned slightly, and his tone clearly expressed his dissatisfaction, "Or do you think the punishment is too light?"
"No, we have no objection!" When the three men in black thought of the horror of the adults in front of them, the only anger in their hearts disappeared completely. The three of them gritted their teeth and looked at each other: "Isn't it just an arm? I recognize it!"
After saying that, the three of them walked out quickly and closed the door.
The noisy darkness fell silent again, and only the adult who was still sitting in the seat was left. With the faint light, the adult could see the adult narrowing his eyes slightly: "Haitian? What an interesting boy."
"Ah snee!" Haitian, who was moving quickly towards Chaoyang Town, suddenly sneezes. He rubbed his nose, "Strange, who is thinking of me?"
However, after only thinking for a moment, Haitian raised his head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to have so many things, it's more important to hurry up."
Chaoyang Town is a small town located on the southwest border of Blackstone City. Its permanent population is only one-tenth of Blackstone City. However, the migrant population of Chaoyang Town is much larger than that of Blackstone City.
On the edge of Chaoyang Town, there are seventh-grade mountain ranges. Within this area of Chaoyang Town, there are many first- and second-level spirit beasts and many materials for refining weapons and medicine, which directly allows many swordsmen to gain wealth from nature.
More and more swordsmen came to Chaoyang Town, and they were all thinking about making a comparison, which led to the migrant population of Chaoyang Town being much larger than that of Black Stone City.
Even though Haitian was mentally prepared, when he came to Chaoyang Town, he was still shocked by the people coming and going in front of him.
On the not-wide street, there were vendors who set up stalls on both sides. They shouted loudly about their goods and boasted that their goods were the best.
Sometimes, they even quarrel in order to seize customers.
"Hey, little brother, you know you're from another place at first sight. Come and see my shadow rat skin. It's absolutely authentic and low-priced. I bet that it's definitely the cheapest in Chaoyang Town. How about it? You'll sell thirty gold coins to you?" Haitian was walking around, but suddenly he was pulled by a vendor.
"Thirty gold coins?" Haitian was shocked. Although he had no idea about money, he also understood that ten gold coins were enough to live for an ordinary family of three for half a year. These thirty gold coins were almost equivalent to a year and a half of others' lives.
"Little brother, don't listen to him. The entire Chaoyang Town Shadow Rat Skin counts the most expensive ones he sells, with thirty gold coins, and he has the nerve to speak. Come and see my quality and hair, which are extremely high, only twenty-nine gold coins." Just when Haitian was surprised, another vendor also came up.
"Why are you like this? Come and rob me of my business again?" The vendor who grabbed Haitian first was dissatisfied. "Your quality and hair are completely inferior to mine, not to mention that you are just one gold coin cheaper than me. What's there to shout about?"
"Your shadow rat skin is of good quality? Don't joke, who doesn't know that your shadow rat skin is the worst quality." The vendor who came from behind shouted unyieldingly, and at the same time pulled Haitian to point to a shadow rat skin in the hand of the vendor in front and said, "Little brother, look, this guy's shadow rat skin has many black lines on it, and the quality is completely inferior to mine. You should buy mine."
"Fart! It's obviously my goodness!" The scholar was tolerant, but who could not bear it. The vendor who first grabbed Haitian's hawker and grabbed Haitian's right arm angrily. It seemed that Haitian would not let Haitian go if he didn't buy it.
Another hawker also grabbed Haitian's left arm very accurately, showing the momentum that he refused to let go of death and shouted: "What? Are you afraid of you? Your pile is garbage, and you can't compare with mine!"
In an instant, the two vendors started arguing, and Haitian was amused and crying. After moving for a few moments, they found that the two vendors had completely put him in the middle.
In desperation, Haitian used the Five Elements Escape Technique and disappeared directly between the two, appearing in a secluded place, with a wry smile on his face, "This Chaoyang Town is really crazy."
Haitian only encountered the first case. Then he encountered several waves of quarrels about robbing customers, and even a few waves of fighting directly, which made Haitian shook his head and sigh.
But to his surprise, most of the vendors here are formal swordsmen, and 80% of them are swordsmen. Occasionally, a few swordsman-level masters pass by, and the swordsmen on the way are all respectful.
It seems that Chaoyang Town is really a veritable town of Swordsmen.
However, Haitian came here not to buy things, but to inquire about news. Although he only knew how to practice blindly in his previous life, he also knew that the best place to inquire about news was the tavern.
After inquiring about the location of the pub on the road, Haitian arrived at the outskirts of the largest pub in Chaoyang Town.
Although it is a tavern, there are only a few dilapidated houses, with no doors or windows around it. It is very convenient for guests to come from all directions.
Before Haitian entered, I heard the noise coming from the tavern.
After frowned a few times, Haitian walked straight in and found an uninhabited table to sit down. At this time, a waiter-like person walked over quickly. To Haitian's surprise, the waiter was actually a three-star swordsman.
The waiter asked cleverly: "Customer, what do you need to order?"
"Give me a pot of the most common bar here?" To be honest, Haitian is not very good at drinking and is not very interested in drinking. However, he follows the local customs. If he doesn't order a pot of wine, he may become an alien here.
"Haol, a pot of nine wines! Do you need something else?" The waiter shouted, then lowered his head and asked again.
Haitian shook his head: "No need. By the way, aren't you a three-star swordsman? How could you be a waiter here?"
"Customer, are you from outside?" When the waiter heard Haitian's question, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Haitian nodded silently, and the waiter continued: "You don't know that our competition here is very fierce. Most swordsmen will choose to join the mercenary group here, and a small number of idle swordsmen like me do not want to join those forces, but in order to survive, they have to work here to make money."
"Then won't you enter the seventh-grade mountain range to hunt some first-level spirit beasts? Isn't it impossible with your strength?" Haitian couldn't understand.
"How is it that easy? Chaoyang Town enters the seventh-grade mountain range within ten kilometers, and is divided up by those mercenary groups. Even if we enter the first-level spirit beasts, we have to pay high taxes. After a trip, we often don't make any money, but we also have to pay money inside. If we want to find a territory without power, we have to walk a little further, but it is already far from Chaoyang Town, and it is easy to encounter third-level spirit beasts. With our strength, we are simply going to die."
This is the first time Haitian knows that the swordsmen on this strata are living so hard.
Just as he was about to ask about his family's situation, a sharp scream suddenly came over. Many swordsmen in the tavern all looked solemn, stood up and walked outside.
"What's going on?"
