Chapter 492 [Celebrating the Fengfeng Festival]
In the morning, Du Wei was still sitting in the room.
This is the separate study courtyard in the Tulip Duke's Mansion in the imperial capital. Du Wei has been sitting here all night since he came back from the Knights Association last night.
In front of him was the Spear of Longinus!
Touching the gun body lightly with his fingers, he could feel the cold feeling of metal. Closing his eyes, Du Wei carefully used his mental power to sense, as if he could sense a faint sense wave left on the gun.
, it seems like a subtle thing is pulling on my mental power. If you listen carefully, you can seem to hear a vague whistling sound...but it is very light.
It feels like you are holding a conch to your ear and listening.
Very subtle.
Unfortunately, Du Wei spent a whole night and conducted many tests on this long gun, but without any valuable results.
What makes Du Wei frustrated is that this legendary most powerful artifact has no trace of the legendary divine power on it. There is no blessing from the gods or many attributes of divine power... none at all!
If it weren't for that vague feeling, this would be just an ordinary spear. No, it's not even as good as an ordinary spear, because it's too broken, with countless scars on it. Even if you apply a little force, it will be broken.
It breaks directly.
Du Wei has tried several methods: injecting spiritual power, or trying to use two artifacts, the Crescent Moon Five-Light Armor and the Jidu Luohou Instant Prison Arrow, to induce induction... However, there is still no movement at all. The only valuable thing is
What is surprising is that when the three artifacts are placed together, the Queyue Five-Light Armor and the Jidu Luohou Instant Prison Arrow will obviously produce some reactions, and the divine power attached to them is ready to move, but this gun seems to be dead.
Just as quiet.
"That's right, he's 'dead'!" Du Wei suddenly caught the subtle feeling in his heart!
It's like being dead!
Because the Queyue Five-Light Armor and the Jidu Luohou Instant Prison Arrow have the presence of divine power and the ability to self-repair, they are like living creatures... And this gun is dead and gone.
The soul has no divine power.
"Like death."
Du Wei sighed. He raised his head and looked at the sky outside... It was already morning.
He stretched hard and stayed up all night. For a magician, there wouldn't be much mental problems, but there was still some physical fatigue.
Du Wei stood up, glanced at the golden spear, hesitated, and put it back into the storage ring.
Hmm. Anyway, I already have three artifacts in my hand... which is pretty good.
In fact, Du Wei couldn't help but daydream in his heart: What if he was wearing the "Crescent Moon Five Lights Armor", carrying the "Geduluo Throat Instant Prison Arrow" on his back, holding the "Longinus Spear", and at the same time riding a horse on his crotch
The golden dragon...that is simply gorgeous!
It's a pity. I can only think about it.
"Let's deal with today's matters first." Du Wei sighed, then opened the door and walked out of the study.
As soon as he went out, the guard Elder Yan who had been waiting outside the door all night strode over immediately. Old Yan's eyes were a little bloodshot, but he was in good spirits. He nodded to Du Wei: "Sir, do you have any orders?
"
"Prepare your horses, I'm going to the palace."
Just as Lao Yan was about to leave, Du Wei added: "Don't bring anyone else, just follow me! I have to do something important today. It's not good to have too many people."
Before going to the palace, Duwei made a special detour to the south of the city. He wanted to go outside the Knights Association to see what the effect would be after the announcement was sent out.
As a result, things went beyond Du Wei's expectation!
He originally thought that after the announcement of the "Number One Martial Arts Tournament in the World" was sent out and the news was transmitted to all parts of the mainland, it would take at least a month for warriors from all over the mainland to flock to the imperial capital. A month later, the number of people who signed up would be
More.
But Du Wei ignored one thing: this is the imperial capital!
Hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the imperial capital... Well, maybe it's a bit inappropriate to say that, because although there are indeed many warriors hidden among the people in the imperial capital, most of them can't be said to be "hidden dragons and crouching tigers." Because of the decline of chivalry, the status of warriors has declined.
Many warriors in the imperial capital just hang out among the people and make a living.
Less than half a day after the news was announced, it immediately shocked the entire imperial capital!
Such a scene can be seen in almost many places in the imperial capital: the warriors in the streets and alleys who are struggling to live at the bottom of the civil society, when they heard the news, their first reaction was to immediately throw away their jobs.
He ran away in the direction of the Knights Association. Among them were guards from the carriage house, bodyguards from the Chamber of Commerce, busboys and chefs from the hotel, and even some grooms!
Many people ran home, dug out boxes that had been stored for many years under their beds, found rusty armor and swords, and carefully scrubbed them clean.
In all the blacksmith shops in the imperial capital, the business increased several times overnight! All the blacksmith shops were almost full. Countless people ordering long swords, weapons and armors were queuing up, and the finished weapons in the blacksmith shops were almost wiped out.
The price has also doubled: a low-level iron sword originally worth ten copper coins now costs at least two silver coins. And the price of a set of light leather armor has increased six times!
Du Wei had just gone out and walked less than two streets when he saw several horses galloping towards him. The leader was none other than his subordinate, the commercial manager, Little Zach.
This big monkey-like guy saw Du Wei from afar, jumped off his horse, and didn't even care about etiquette. His first sentence was to complain: "My lord! My boss! Next time you do something like this
Before you come up with this genius idea, can you say hello to me first! You see, by tonight at most, all the weapon shops in the imperial capital will be sold out! This is a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity! This kind of news, you
You should have told me in advance so that I could reserve a batch of weapons and make a lot of money this time! Alas... What a pity. Now I'm better off that old guy from Delan Mountain World of Warcraft! I heard early in the morning that that guy stayed overnight
We sent people to several large warehouses outside the Imperial City and dragged several large carts of inferior weapons and armors that were old and unsaleable, and dragged them all into the city early this morning for dumping!"
Seeing little Zach gritting his teeth, Du Wei just smiled and comforted him casually. Then he asked, "Are you so anxious that you came to me to complain?"
"Of course not." Little Zach shook his head: "I'm not looking for you to complain, but to ask about this matter. Do you have any other plans? This is a big event! The empire has not seen such excitement in many years.
At this time, in my opinion, they are just piles of gold coins! If I miss this opportunity, my little Zach will be an idiot!"
Du Wei laughed and called to this guy: "Come here, I have a few tricks, you are like this..."
After hearing a few words, little Zach's eyes suddenly lit up. His face smiled like a flower. After nodding his head, he said hello to Du Wei and rode away with the others.
Du Wei watched these guys go away, and then sighed: "What a mistake! Why did I forget to take the opportunity to dump weapons... In the next few months, warriors from all over the mainland who came to the imperial capital one after another, at least
There must be thousands of people."
He took Lao Yan and rode south for a while, but as soon as he reached a street away from the Knights Association, he couldn't walk anymore! There was almost a sea of ​​people in front of him. People were crowded on the street.
I can't get through any gaps!
The roar of the crowd almost lifted the roof off the house. This overwhelmed the soldiers at the public security station. In nearby streets, the Imperial City Public Security Office had temporarily dispatched three times more manpower, but it was not enough.
Du Wei sat on the horse and looked at the swarming crowd in the distance. He sighed and said with a wry smile: "It seems we don't have to go there."
At this moment, the Knights Association was surrounded early in the morning. Even Delong was shocked when he opened the door in the morning!
Outside the Knights Association, there was a sea of ​​people on the street. Countless warriors of all levels wearing different clothes and holding various weapons lined up in a long queue outside the door of the Knights Association.
In addition, there were a large number of citizens who heard the news and came to watch the fun, and stopped by as they passed by. There were also thieves and pickpockets who took advantage of the crowds to make a fortune, etc...
Even Old Doufu couldn't help but tremble when he stood upstairs looking at the scene on the street: "Oh my God! I have lived on this street all my life, but I have never seen it so lively here.
Pass."
Delong's forehead was covered with sweat. He originally thought the same as Du Wei: he was afraid that not many people would come over in the first few days. He originally planned to just move a table and place it at the gate of the Knights Association, and slowly register those who signed up.
Okay, who would have thought this would happen?
But when Delong just put down the table, arranged the chairs, and sat down to register in person, in less than half an hour, all the registration forms he had prepared had been snatched up.
Fortunately, there were soldiers from the public security station to maintain order. Delong also shouted: "Anyone who violates the order will be stripped of their qualifications." This made the crowd quiet down a little.
Soon, Delong hurriedly asked someone to go to the Tulip family for help: at least send more people to help! Otherwise, Delong would have to record the information of the applicants by himself, even if his hand was broken, he would not be able to do it.
!
At this time, Du Wei had already arrived at the palace. He had seen the heavy traffic near the Knights Association before, so he immediately gave up his plan to see Delong and went directly to the palace.
After all, there is still a big show to be performed tonight.
Fengfeng Festival Dinner!
Arriving directly at the palace where His Majesty Emperor Augustine VI lived, Du Wei did not let Lao Yan go in with him. The palace guards at the door had already been removed. Lao Yan stood alone outside the main hall, feeling somewhat curious.
When Du Wei walked into the palace, he saw Groom, the tailor, sitting in a chair in front of the mirror, looking at himself in the mirror carefully, his expression seemed a little nervous.
Du Wei sighed. He could understand Grum's mood at the moment. After all, people are always nervous before big things happen. What's more, tonight is not just a big test for him... and the result of the test is also disappointing.
:Even if he passes successfully, death awaits him!
Groom's face was very pale. Du Wei silently walked up behind him and put his hand on his shoulder. He suddenly reacted, as if he was startled. When he saw Du Wei's face, he
To be continued...
