"What do you think?" Estes said blankly.
……
On the straight road of the empire, large-scale caravans are returning from the border to the main cities in the north. In recent decades, the friction between the empire and the foreign nations in the north has increased day by day, and the pressure on food transportation has also increased. In order to reduce costs, the border has opened up private trade. The pouring out of powers and policies barely maintained the situation, but secret discord was also unavoidable.
In a carriage, a girl with ice-blue hair sat by an unlit fire, opposite a man wearing a mask. "Why do you wear a mask? Unlike in the northwest, the wind and sand are not so strong."
Estes asked, the strength of the other party is something she has only seen in her life, and of course she must learn from what can be learned.
"I'd love to..." Xia Ge glanced at her, he knew what he looked like.Since he hates trouble, it is better to cover it up, he is not a guy who drinks with his heart every day, and he is not even interested in raising a knife in the face of senseless killings.
"Where are we going?" Estes asked calmly. It cannot be said that the demise of the Baluts clan had no impact on her.
But it has not reached the point of destroying the calmness, the hunter loses the calmness means to meet the death.Besides, in the past, there was no shortage of clansmen who died because of mistakes.
"Find a big city to settle down first, and then give you a period of exercise. You still need to grow and develop."
Xia Ge casually said that the current Esdesh does not have the top strength of the empire, at most it can be regarded as a rough jade that has already bloomed, and it still needs a master to polish it carefully.
"I have no money." Esdeth said. The nomads have very little currency stored, and even the necessities of salt are mostly bartered.
"Me neither, but it's not a big problem." Shager began to add charcoal to the brazier, and soon the sun was going to set, and the temperature in the northern region was unflattering.
It should be possible to refine gold by saying that the spirit world is a furnace, but the specific effect is open to discussion, and it is theoretically feasible.
Chapter 93 Tegushi
The empire has a history of thousands of years, and no one can rival it except the western kingdoms. The whole country is divided into nine regions and 27 counties. The imperial capital is located in the center, as if it is ready to welcome worship from all directions.
The center has two positions of minister and general to command civil and military affairs, and the highest local chief is named prefect, and at the same time pursues the title system.
In order to prolong the kingdom, the first emperor, the founder of the country, used unimaginable manpower and material resources, summoned the world's top alchemists, used super dangerous species as materials, added rare metals such as Oriha steel, and successfully produced 48 pieces Teigu.
Since then, the art of making Teigu has been inexplicably lost, and even the alchemists at the time have disappeared. It is self-evident what the first emperor did.
In later generations, an emperor of the ZTE Empire wanted to repeat the feat of his ancestors.But in the end, it could only end in failure, leaving behind a servant who can be called a degraded version of Teigu.
"What are you doing?" Estes asked, leaning against the corner of the car and hugging his legs.Because the legs are bent, the inside is also taupe hide.
"I'll make you a knife and use it first." Shager took out materials from his personal space from time to time, including ordinary steel and precious metals robbed from Vegapunk.
Under the influence of Yan Ling, a four-foot-long knife gradually took shape, and at the same time, a dark green creep blanket wrapped the knife, and Dr. Crow's plague poison was also added to it, choosing neurotoxin.
Xia Ge stretched out his two fingers to clamp the handle of the knife, and then slowly wiped the blade, sparks splashed, and successfully sharpened the dark green knife, and finally made a scabbard with Adam branch.
"Take it and play with it. Don't forget it's poisonous. You can name it yourself."
Esdeth took the knife and hung it around her waist with an animal belt. She had no right to refuse, and she had no reason to refuse. She could only accept it, and it was best to accept it.
Things that can improve combat power are very precious to hunters, so she whispered rather unnaturally: "Thank you..."
"Heaven Comes"
"Hmm..." Xia Ge nodded.
In the evening, the convoy stopped for repairs. It was dark and it was not suitable to continue on the road. Facing danger in the wild was a fatal thing, and they couldn't afford to lose so much cargo.
The hills of wood piled up on the cart were unloaded to build a simple watchtower. Even a slight advantage in height in the plain terrain was worth fighting for. The guards began to dig pits in the corners. Human excrement had to be buried centrally to prevent diseases from spreading. Spawns in caravans.
The two got out of the car and built a fire beside the carriage. Xia Ge really brought dry food, which was a big pancake baked by Eliyi.
Boil water in an iron pot, then take out a few cakes and break them into pieces, then add edible salt, and finally cook some wild vegetables that Estes found, and stir it to make a food similar to lakes and lakes.
"You eat..." Xia Ge planned to see if this thing could be eaten first.
Esdes calmly scooped up a spoonful of the lake with a bowl, and sat on the ground to feast on it. What she ate most in the mountains was jerky, and pasta was a rare delicacy.
At this time, a fat middle-aged man in silk trotted over, holding the two hares that the guard had just shot in his right hand.
"Master Tegushi, this is my sympathy." The middle-aged man bowed his head and said, his eyes occasionally glanced at Xiager's left ring finger.
Xia Ge nodded and said, "Thank you, I will pay attention to your safety at night."
He joined the caravan as a Teigu envoy. Teigu is the wedding ring on his left hand. When they met, he showed the businessman a hand to protect the thunder, and then he readily accepted it.
Now that autumn has just passed, and the harvests from all over the country have been put into storage, it is the time when those foreign nationalities and bandits are relatively rampant, and having a Teigu envoy with them will naturally greatly improve the safety.
Most of the 48 pieces of Teigu have been lost so far. Except for a few high-level officials in the empire, no one can know the appearance and ability of all the Teigu.
"My lord, then I won't bother you." The middle-aged man knew that too much was too much, and that the caravan could provide convenience for the two of them, so it was a loss to both of them, and some things don't need to be too long-winded.
Before leaving, he left two bottles of fine wine, as if he was afraid that the two of them would not accept it.
Estes put down the bowl and asked, "Are the Tegu envoys as strong as you?"
She has never seen a Tegu envoy. She used to go to a nearby town with her tribe to exchange for daily necessities at most. She has heard of it but doesn't understand it.
Xia Ge opened a bottle of wine and smelled it. The fruity aroma was rich and fresh, which broke his inherent concept that productivity cannot be the shackles of wine quality.
"It might be troublesome to go along." Xia Ge said with a sip. No one can prescribe medicine to him who has mastered the epidemic poison.And the businessman might not be able to sleep well at night if he doesn't drink it.
"Together?" Estes looked puzzled.
"If 48 go up together, then I guess I have to get serious."
In Xia Ge’s view, the 48 pieces of Teigu should be a set of combinations, which integrates damage, output, control, assistance, treatment, and functionalities into one battle formation. The Teigu envoys should be a whole, used to support together This huge empire.
Estes continued to eat with her head down, she couldn't be sure whether the other party was talking big.
ooh...
"It's a northern plain wolf with outstanding endurance. Usually there are five to twenty, and it can reach up to about forty in winter when it's cold. They are omnivorous beasts that mainly eat meat. I've seen them eat berries and grass." Ace said. Des knew about Xia Ge's temporary job, so he sounded a reminder.
"What will happen..." Xia Ge asked, professional questions still have to be consulted with professionals, the girl dumped him a few streets in terms of hunting knowledge.
"As long as they don't move, it's fine. The wolves will not rashly attack threatening groups. They will leave on their own after dawn. It's not the coldest time yet."
Xia Ge diffused the color combination of knowledge and knowledge, and at the same time there was a faint flash of thunder on the ring. This ring was often worn by him when he was free, and the armed color had dyed it black. Sometimes it felt like he was panning walnuts.
There is still work to be done to eat people with short mouths, and riding in a carriage is indeed more comfortable than walking.
In the distance, the businessman and his guards shouted loudly around the camp. The content was roughly about keeping calm. At this time, there were many other partners in the caravan, and some of them were town residents who chose to join temporarily for safety. Some were guys who were about to leave their hometowns to venture out, and there were also a few ferocious men who looked like fugitives. Of course, without exception, they all paid enough money.
Nearly a hundred guards with sharp weapons can ensure that they keep themselves safe.And there are several leading guards wearing armored stomachs that are clearly out of control.
Xia Ge felt that the empire was really coming to an end, and the fact that the merchant's guards were able to wear the Jia stomach in a fair and aboveboard manner showed how bad manners and music had become.
"Don't do it?" Estes felt that it should be a small problem to solve a pack of wolves with this guy's strength, and it shouldn't be too much trouble for her to go up after getting the new knife.
"How much money do you do?"
"understood……"
Chapter 94 North County
In the early morning, the howling of wolves gradually faded away, and many guards who stayed up all night secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The long-term mental tension caused a huge burden on physical strength, and the businessman decided to take a rest all morning to relieve the fatigue of the caravan.
"How come..." Xia Ge frowned, he was squatting by a stream not far from the camp.
Even though the world has been used as a furnace for many times, there is not much gold synthesized. On the contrary, the reward for sweating on the forehead is just a few golden "soybeans".
If there is no gold mine around, he can't refine it and can only synthesize it, but the laboriousness of the synthesis is beyond his imagination.
Estes stood quietly on the bank holding a spear like a sculpture. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in the stream, and she sent the spear out forcefully with her wrist. The tip of the spear accurately hit a half-foot-large Xiaoyu, Xia Ge had no choice but to accept the reality. He supported the ground with his hands, and the fiery high temperature was continuously transmitted to the ground, simulating the process of volcanic eruption forming magmatic rocks, because the scale is small.
So under the blockade of Lei Chi, there was not much movement. After he had enough silicon dioxide, he began to synthesize agate with speech spirit.
Esdeth tossed the wooden spear aside in boredom. This section of the creek had already begun to boil, and there were many dead fish floating on the water.
"Eternal God Emperor"
It is still familiar, which can be said to be done in one step.
After a while, Xiager obtained a rough agate stone the size of a human head, with a translucent dark red on it.
The value of agate lies in its pictogram. He deliberately shaped it to look like a prairie wolf in the northern border. Considering what happened to the caravan last night, there may be a background legend that increases the added value.
"Let's go..." Xiager left with the agate in his arms.
Estes picked up his harvest and followed him. It is not allowed for hunters to waste food, and she has no mood to go down to take a bath. The stream water in this season will only waste heat in vain.
In the camp, the middle-aged man was anxiously pacing back and forth beside the carriage. When he came to deliver the dried meat, he found that the two of them were no longer there, but they clearly hadn't arrived at the agreed destination.
"What are you doing?" Shager and Estes appeared behind him, and their footsteps were unrecognizable.
"I'm here to deliver the jerky for the morning." The middle-aged man was startled at first, and said with a wry smile after seeing the person clearly.
"I haven't asked your name yet."
"Laide, what are your orders?" Laide replied politely. As a businessman on the civilian supply line from Beijun to Border Pass, he had a lot of experience and understood the importance of Tegu's envoy.
He directly served the Beijun prefect, which was regarded as one of the prefect's pockets.
"Use this to exchange a house in Beijun, and use currency to settle the surplus."
The guard behind Laid took the arm of the wolf-shaped agate and sank it severely. This thing was much heavier than it looked.
There was a glint of greed in Laide's eyes, but it disappeared quickly. It wasn't that this agate was worthless. With its vivid appearance, he could wash it off for the prefect with just a little fabrication. Small half empty account.
But the most valuable thing is the man in front of him. As long as he can persuade a Tegu envoy to join the prefect's mansion, he will definitely be one step closer.
"I will definitely give you a satisfactory result." Laide said sonorously. Only with interests involved can the relationship develop better. He gave wine and meat just to have the opportunity of introduction.
"Can……"
Laide was slightly stunned, and the other party's speech skipped a bit.
Xia Ge said calmly: "We happen to have nowhere to go."
Now he only has the label Tegushi on his body. It is not difficult to understand what the other party wants. From those armor stomachs, it can be seen that the merchant has something. The end point of this journey involving the border is Beijun. Those few.
Besides, the attitude of ordinary businessmen towards Tegushi should be in awe, this guy is a bit too blatant.
Laide lowered his head, not wanting the other party to see his gaffe, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
"The rich family or the prefect?"
"Prefect..."
"Then you should be busy first."
"Yes……"
Ryder walked away with stiff steps.
