Chapter 24 Queen
Author: Firebird 2023
"Brother, I heard that there is going to be an auction in the city."
Tang Wen came to the blacksmith shop to pick up arrows, but Li Daniu stopped him to talk.
"What's the auction?"
"We sell everything. Mainly selling the meat of alienated beasts. It is said that the three treasures of alienated beasts can even meet the Queen!"
Li Daniu's face was filled with respect when he mentioned the Queen.
Not only him, but also ordinary people in the camp, including Tang Wen, all respected the queen and could even be said to be grateful.
In the camp, you are not allowed to bully the weak or harm others!
It's an iron rule set by the Queen.
And there is no room for sophistry. If someone deliberately provokes others, such as insulting their family members in front of men, forcing them to resist, and then killing them, it is said to be self-defense.
When you get to the guards, they will have unique methods to make it impossible for you to lie.
And once you can't lie, things will soon come to light.
The perpetrators will naturally die.
Either they were chopped several times and taken to the mountains to be used as bait; or they were hung on a flagpole and wailed to death to frighten other villains.
It is precisely because of this iron law that countless ordinary people feel a sense of security and are willing to farm.
After all, people who keep to themselves are still in the majority.
As for the three treasures of the alienated beast mentioned by Li Daniu, they refer to the alienated beast's brain, heart, and liver.
Eating the Three Treasures is said to make warriors stronger and even help them break through levels!
Alienated beasts are divided into strong and weak ones. The stronger the beast, the rarer it is, and the greater the effect of the three treasures.
And what level of alienated beast is the three treasures that can be put up for auction?
Tang Wen thought of the silver wolf he met before.
He asked: "Can we go to the auction?"
"Well, you can, you can, but you have to pay 1 tael of silver to enter the door, and you won't get it back." Li Daniu was not interested.
Tang Wen wanted to see it, mainly to open his eyes.
But after feeling the money in my pocket, I decided to forget it after thinking about it.
I have my own skills and experience panel. The most important thing now is to seize the time to improve myself instead of just joining in the fun.
Li Daniu added: "There was a silver wolf disaster a while ago. It is said that our queen personally took action! A silver wolf was captured and imprisoned in the city."
"Alive? Why not kill them? Keeping them is a waste of food."
"Who says it's not the case? It's said that he was locked up in an iron cage with thick wrists and locked in a basement."
"Aren't the people who live nearby afraid?" Tang Wen personally experienced the oppressive feeling of the silver wolf. Occasionally, he would feel nervous when he thought about it. The terrifying roar even made him unable to resist.
"I don't know, it seems like the place is quite remote. Moreover, you can go in and see the copper plate. A new recruit from the guard team went in. Guess what happened?"
"What's going on?" Tang Wen said complimentary.
"I was so scared that I peed!" Li Daniu said with a funny face, "Don't spread the word, but that recruit did peed! He was so scared! He will definitely not be able to hold his head up in the barracks in the future. Brother, do you think it's funny or not? Spend money."
If you go in, you will become a laughing stock. Ordinary people will go in and run out crawling in fear, and have nightmares every day."
"How much does it cost to go see it once?"
Tang Wen didn't smile. He figured that if he faced Silver Wolf at close range, Silver Wolf's pressure would be concentrated on him alone.
Maybe, he would have to urinate himself, and he would have to crawl out on the ground.
"It seems to be 10 copper coins." Li Daniu raised his head and said in shock: "What's going on? Brother, are you going?"
Tang Wen shook his head: "If I don't go now, I might go and have a look later. After all, I'm a hunter, so it's good to go see something."
Li Daniu touched his bald head: "Brother, this hunting business is indeed dangerous. It's better to become a guard as soon as possible. Depending on your ability, if you work hard for a few years, you might be able to become a captain. It's best to be a city guard captain. According to
There is nothing dangerous about it, it’s very relaxing.”
As he listened, Tang Wen raised his lips.
I remember that when I just graduated from college, my elders in the family also persuaded me to take the public examination.
He was very repulsive at first, thinking how much money could he earn by taking the public examination?
Now, he really wants to be a guard, because the strong ones among the guards can deal with Silver Wolf.
By becoming a guard, you may be able to acquire some more advanced martial arts training methods!
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Tang Wen did not go home.
Taking the bronze medal, he came to the city and asked the owner of the butcher shop where the Silver Wolf was being held.
"What? Brother, you want to see Silver Wolf?" the butcher shop owner said in a surprised voice.
People around him looked over one after another, with a sense of amusement in their eyes.
Tang Wen's expression remained unchanged: "I just want to know the location and tell my family and friends where to avoid it."
"Oh~", the butcher shop owner seemed a little disappointed: "Then just avoid the northeast corner of the city, that's where the silver wolf is locked up."
After thanking him, Tang Wen took a detour and walked towards the northeast corner of the city.
Turn from the street to a small road and finally enter an alley.
At the end of the alley is an open door. Below the door, three guards in armor are warming themselves by a fire.
Before Tang Wen could speak, the guard on the opposite side waved his hand at him with a look of disgust on his face: "Go, go, you are so young. Just follow the example of others to see the silver wolf! Be careful of being scared to death, go, go, go!"
Tang Wen didn't mind at all, walked up and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother, for reminding me. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I saw a silver wolf from a distance in the wild before. I was so frightened that I couldn't stand. When I heard the silver wolf roar,
And he fell hard!"
The three people inside the door looked at each other, and the person who just spoke asked curiously: "If you know you are afraid, why do you dare to come?"
"I am a herbal collector at the medical center. I always go outside the camp. I was wondering if I could practice my courage without seeing the silver wolf. If I encounter an alienated beast again in the future, I will not be afraid.
Run for your life, run faster."
Tang Wen's tone was sincere and calm, and the eyes of the three guards were moved.
The leader looked at him and said: "It's rare for you to think like this, but it's not impossible. When you enter the door and walk fifty steps inside, there is an opening in the house and a staircase going down. Standing at the opening, you can feel the difference.
.If you are not afraid of the silver wolf suddenly roaring, you can go in and try."
"Thank you. I wonder how many copper coins we need?"
"You get 10 copper coins when you enter the door."
Tang Wen counted out the copper plates, carefully pressed them against the wall, and stepped inside.
"Ouch~"
Suddenly a roar came from the ground. Tang Wen shivered, his legs became weak, and he quickly held onto the wall beside him with both hands.
"This kid is really unlucky. The silver wolf barked as soon as he entered the door."
"Haha, just don't let him pee in it."
The three guards were warming themselves by the fire, talking and laughing, their expressions were as usual, and they showed no reaction to the howling of the wolf.
"This Silver Wolf, no, this environment, how should I make use of it? Practice my skills?"
Getting rid of the fear caused by the silver wolf's roar, Tang Wen covered his chest that was beating wildly and began to think.
Practicing swordsmanship?
But if the silver wolf howls while practicing the sword, the sword in his hand might fly out.
It is even possible to overreact subconsciously and injure yourself.
Can't practice swordsmanship.
After much deliberation, Tang Wen carefully walked into the room, found a corner against the wall, and started practicing Zhuang Kung Fu on the spot.
The Eight Parts of Vajra Skills cannot be exposed outside. Flying stones and flying knives are not suitable.
The most suitable one is Zhuang Gong.
But in Zhuang Gong, you need to "hold the essence and keep the unity" and be calm.
Looking at the dark entrance, his heart could not calm down.
I can't help but imagine that in the next second, the ferocious silver wolf will come out of the hole and swallow me in one gulp, just like a wild boar swallowing a yam egg!
