Chapter 534 The ruins of the book, the Purple Star Tower!
In the gentle area between the two mountains, on a trampled road, Tang Zhen wore a set of leather armor and rode a beast slowly.
At this time, he was dressed the same as Ye Xiu, the only difference was that there was no weathered look on his face, and there was a hint of power in his movements.
Whenever a wanderer encountered him along the way, he would subconsciously hide aside and let Tang Zhen go first.
Even if he meets a monk, the other person will be wary, look at him secretly, and then pass him by.
Compared to the area where Luna Tower City is located, the living environment here is much more dangerous, and plundering groups often appear.
Tang Zhen turned a blind eye to this and just hurried on, admiring the scenery along the way.
When he encountered a guy who couldn't open his eyes, he would just kill him with a knife and leave his body abandoned in the wilderness.
In this operation to assassinate Count Zixing, Tang Zhen did not call Fatty and others, but asked them to return to Holy Dragon City first.
The assassination operation must be stealthy and quick, and you must evacuate immediately after succeeding. Although the monks in Holy Dragon City are numerous, they cannot help much, but will attract the attention of interested people.
Although the other party's cultivation level is not as good as Tang Zhen's, he is the master of a building city after all. He has countless monks in the building city under him, so he must not be underestimated.
Once the elven monks discover that Count Purple Star has been killed, they will definitely launch an all-out search across the entire territory, and they will not let go of anyone in the sky or on the earth.
In this case, Tang Zhen could easily escape, but the monks of Holy Dragon City under him were a little worried.
After launching the [Universal Electronic Toolkit] and connecting to the conference room of Shenglong City, Tang Zhen had a video chat with all senior managers and handled official business in the past few days.
Today, Shenglong City is actively preparing for war and making preparations to completely control the wild land. At the same time, new travelers are also coming to the world of Loucheng in a steady stream.
They are now gradually adapting to the new environment, and then continue to devote themselves to their respective jobs.
After closing the application, Tang Zhen glanced at the wild building built on the hill in front of him and continued to move forward.
The sound of footsteps was heard, and a group of monks in disheveled armor walked out of the mountain path. After glancing at Tang Zhen, they began to walk on their way silently.
These foreign monks had obviously gone through a fierce battle, and many of them had wounds of varying depths. Perhaps due to limited conditions, they simply bandaged them.
There was nothing special about these foreign monks, but the items they carried intrigued Tang Zhen.
It turned out that these embarrassed foreign monks were all carrying some tattered daily necessities in very primitive styles, and some of them were carrying primitive-looking books.
Judging from the damage and style of the books, Tang Zhen confirmed that these books should be quite ancient.
"Do you want to sell these books? I will give you a good price?"
After taking a few glances, Tang Zhen asked one of the foreign female monks wearing leather armor and holding a book.
This woman is of unknown race. She has no head on her head, but is covered with strange tattoos. Her ears are pointed and erect like those of the elves.
After seeing Tang Zhen's inquiry, the foreign female monk looked at him and asked in a hoarse voice: "Human monk, are you interested in these precious books?"
Under Tang Zhen's deliberate suppression, the other party did not see his cultivation level, so he talked in this tone.
After the other foreign monks heard the conversation between the two, they all focused their attention on Tang Zhen and kept looking up and down.
Tang Zhen smiled when he heard this. When the foreign female monk mentioned the word "precious", she obviously wanted to make the lion speak loudly!
"That's right, I just like these tattered books, tell me a price!"
The alien female monk thought for a moment and gave the price she wanted: "As long as you give me a thousand brain beads, these precious books will be yours!"
The price she gave was nothing more than a deliberately high price, leaving room for counter-offering.
They were just a bunch of worthless books in her eyes, not worth a thousand brains. She just saw Tang Zhen as a rich man, so she took the opportunity to ask for a high price.
If Tang Zhen agrees to this price, she will naturally make a fortune. If she bargains, she will get at least a quarter of the income, and she will not lose no matter what.
However, she didn't know that different things actually have different values in the eyes of different people.
These books were like useless paper in her eyes, but in Tang Zhen's eyes they were worth thousands of gold.
Even if the other party was playing tricks, Tang Zhen wouldn't care about such trivial matters, so when the foreign female monk gave the price, Tang Zhen threw his head away and at the same time sucked in the pile of books tied with rattan.
in hand.
The alien female monk felt her eyes flash, and the book in her hand disappeared. At the same time, there was a bright brain in her hand.
She glanced blankly at her head, then put it into her pocket, and at the same time bowed to Tang Zhen, appearing very respectful.
At this moment, she couldn't tell that Tang Zhen was a monk whose strength was far beyond theirs. The other party didn't care about this matter with her, but she couldn't continue to pretend to be stupid.
As for returning the brain beads to Tang Zhen, it was not necessary because the transaction had been completed and Tang Zhen agreed to the price she gave.
At this time, there is no big meaning in handing back the brain out of fear. What the other party cares about is her attitude, not the trivial brain!
The foreign female monk's companions also witnessed this scene and bowed to Tang Zhen with the same serious expressions, expressing their respect in their hearts.
Tang Zhen waved his hand nonchalantly, untied the book, and started reading on the beast.
Seeing this, the foreign monks breathed a sigh of relief and continued on their way.
Since Tang Zhen controlled the speed of the beast, the two sides advanced at basically the same speed, always maintaining a distance of about ten meters.
About ten minutes later, Tang Zhen suddenly turned to look at the foreign female monk and asked casually: "Can you tell me where you got these books?"
When the foreign female monk heard this, she glanced at the strong man in the team, and after seeing him nodding slightly, she replied: "These books were found in a ruins. There are dozens of them in total, but these are the only ones."
It’s still in good condition.”
Tang Zhen nodded and asked casually: "What ruins, wild buildings?"
The foreign female monk shook her head and said in an uncertain tone: "It doesn't look like a wild building, but it looks like the ruins of a city. And judging from the extent of the ruins, I'm afraid it has been abandoned for at least a hundred years!"
Tang Zhen raised his brows, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then looked at the foreign female monk: "I'm going to take some time to go to that ruins. Can you serve as a guide and the price can be negotiated?"
After hearing this, these foreign monks discussed in a low voice for a few words, then nodded and agreed.
The value of the ruins was not high, and it was not worth keeping secret because many wanderers knew that place.
If they can take the opportunity to make friends with a powerful monk, it will definitely be the best thing for them. They can even take over some tasks from the other party from time to time and earn generous rewards.
After the two parties agreed on a time and meeting place, they separated on the branch road to the nearby Lou City. These foreign monks were going to the nearby Lou City Trading Market, while Tang Zhen was going to Zixing Tower City.
During the rest of the journey, Tang Zhen continued to walk leisurely. When he encountered delicious food and beautiful scenery along the way, he would stop to taste and watch, and seemed to enjoy it.
After walking and stopping along the way, Tang Zhen finally arrived at the area where Zixing Tower City is located.
Yue Qianhua, who has not received news of the assassination for a long time, may have begun to feel restless.
Looking at the huge castle in front of him that looked like a medieval castle, Tang Zhen stretched out on the beast and walked slowly into the trading market in front of the castle.
