Cards are born to be king
Chapter 23 Conflict
Before leaving the library, Jiang Yong thought about it, and took the lion-scorpion tail hook and the big red egg out of the library depository.I don't need these things now, maybe I can sell them for a good price.
Captain Celtic put the scorpion tail hook into a bearskin bag before, and the capacity of that bag is a mystery like South's satchel before.Jiang Yong, who was still worrying about how to bring the big red eggs to the market, breathed a sigh of relief, and directly put them into a bearskin bag together.
Walking out of the library, Jiang Yong strolled along the path to the center of the town.He had a little impression of Turan mentioned by the man in black before, as if he presided over the previous card selection ceremony.If the man hadn't left by now, he should be staying at Travelers' Rest.But as soon as he walked to the town square, Jiang Yong was 'shocked' by the sea of people in front of him.
People in all kinds of costumes gathered in the square shoulder to shoulder, yelling loudly like a festival, and they seemed to be selling something.After thinking about today's day, Jiang Yong finally came to his senses.Today turned out to be Mentor's Day in Carter Town. In layman's terms, it was the market.
Every half a month, Carter Town and the two surrounding villages and towns will hold a fair.Today just happened to be the turn to be held at the Plaza in Carter Town.The sparsely populated town is rarely as lively as it is today. There are people coming and going on the road, and the crowd is so dark that it is several times more lively than the card selection ceremony before.
Jiang Yong was curious when he saw the market in another world for the first time.To get to the traveler's rest place, he must cross the square, so he simply walked along the flow of people.Most of the people who set up stalls and sell things along the way were adventurers, and Jiang Yong found that most of what they sold were monster materials hunted from the Twilight Forest.
And during the observation, Jiang Yong also had an unexpected joy.The raw materials for the two low-level potions he wants to refine are actually available here, and they are very cheap!His hands were itchy and his heart was itching, thinking that the fair would only be held for one morning, Jiang Yong decided to buy these materials.Soon, half of the red coins saved before were spent.
"Yo, isn't this a tip scythe?"
Suddenly, a rough voice came from the side.Jiang Yong turned his head in doubt, and saw Uncle Suoya from the blacksmith shop in the town waving at him from a distance.
"Uncle, you come to the market too."
Jiang Yong walked closer and saw a large and thick boar skin in front of the uncle, on which some agricultural tools and small self-defense weapons were neatly placed.
"How's business?"
"Hi, I'm just here to join in the fun."
The uncle smiled heartily and winked at Jiang Yong.
"It's you, you threw that old watch at me and didn't take it back. Don't you want it? Fei Lian, what's the matter? That's good. Can I still press your watch down?"
Hearing the uncle's words, Jiang Yong was a little dazed, and it took him a long time to react.Before Fei Lian went to the forest for a duel, it seemed that he did repair an old pocket watch at the blacksmith shop.
Uncle Sawyer originally pretended to be angry, but soon he couldn't keep his face straight.Shaking his head, the uncle patted Jiang Yong's shoulder heavily and sighed:
"You are a good boy. I have seen your growth over the years. Time flies so fast. You are about to become an adult... Tsk, forget it. I will not give you the money for repairing the watch. If you accept it, it will be your coming-of-age gift."
While talking, the uncle winked at Jiang Yong.He carefully took out a pocket watch from his pocket.Jiang Yong looked over, the dark silver surface of the pocket watch was engraved with simple gilt patterns, dotted with three fire rubies the size of rice grains, it looked very beautiful.
But just as the uncle was about to hand the pocket watch to Jiang Yong, suddenly there was a commotion from the crowd behind him.
"Hey, look at the inlaid gold turquoise on that bracelet. I didn't expect to see it here."
"Ha, Miss Alyssa's keen eyesight really amazes me. Gao, go and ask how much it costs, I bought it."
"Don't call me Miss, it sounds too much. Just call me Alyssa..."
Goosebumps all over his body were made by the coquettish voice, Jiang Yong couldn't stand it, took the pocket watch from the uncle's hand, and turned around.A strong man was striding towards the booth next to him.Behind the strong man stood a group of people, among them surrounded by stars like a moon, a luxuriously dressed boy and a girl in delicate pink winter clothes.
The luxurious boy's attention was always on the girl, and he just glanced over casually.But at this moment, he found Jiang Yong in the crowd.
……
Seeing Jiang Yong, the smile on the boy's face disappeared immediately.He couldn't help but take a big step back, looked at Jiang Yong in surprise and uncertainty like seeing a ghost for a long time, and scolded sharply:
"Fei Lian, why are you here?!"
Startled by his sharp voice, Jiang Yong blinked blankly, looked carefully at the boy's appearance, and then remembered who he was.
Isn't this the mentally handicapped kid who asked Xiaofei Lian to go to the forest for a duel before, and finally released other people's pigeons?
"Oh, it's none of your business."
Jiang Yong said unhappily, seeing the luxurious young man choke as he wished, his face instantly became ugly.
Corky never expected to see Fei Lian here.Damn it, there are dangers everywhere in the dusk forest, how can this kid come back alive!
"Korky, do you know each other?"
The girl in pink standing beside her asked curiously.She obviously looks only twelve or thirteen years old, but her delicate face and slightly developed figure give her a youthful allure, unlike people in small towns.Jiang Yong noticed that the clothes on her body were all painted with high-level magic patterns, which were better than those worn by Corgi next to her.
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Corky reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, and pretended to say casually:
"In the same town, you can always meet someone."
"Ha, I didn't expect you to remember me."
Thinking of Xiaofei Lian finally freezing to death alone in the depths of the forest, Jiang Yong felt angry in his heart, and couldn't help but sarcastically said:
"I thought that young master Corgi's memory is not very good."
Hearing Jiang Yong's meaningful words, the expression on Corky's face suddenly became a little stiff, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Fei Lian, don't go too far."
Corky's tone was full of warnings, and the group of subordinates behind him immediately surrounded him very cleverly when they saw this, and directly separated Jiang Yong from the blacksmith uncle, showing malicious intentions in their actions.
Seeing this group of 1.9-meter-tall strong men surrounded him, Jiang Yong came back to his senses.He couldn't help swallowing, feeling a little regretful in his heart.It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. It's too unsuitable for him to open his mouth when he brings a lot of guards.
He had a deep introspection in his heart, but now that he has reached this point, Jiang Yong feels that he can't be cowardly.Reluctantly staying on the spot without moving, Jiang Yong smiled disdainfully like a tough guy, and said in his heart if he was mocking:
"Tsk, you scared me to death. I said, Mr. Corgi, do you need to mobilize so many troops to deal with a little orphan?"
Feeling that the crowd around him gathered to watch the excitement, Corky's face showed a trace of impatience.He didn't want to continue the stalemate, if Fei Lian broke out about the duel at that time, he would lose face.A ruthless look flashed across his eyes, and Corgi took a deep look at Jiang Yong.
The thing he regrets the most in his life is that he didn't think carefully about the duel before. If he had sent a few guards to guard the edge of the deep forest, nothing would have happened as soon as Fei Lian had wiped him off.He was just an orphan, even if he died in the forest for no apparent reason, no one would know about it.
Jiang Yong's heart skipped a beat when he noticed the deep glance and the flash of ruthlessness.It seems that this brat has a plan in his mind, and he wants to mess with himself!No, you can't let him go on like this.Jiang Yongheng, who cherished his life very much, made up his mind. Thinking about the duel before, he decided to take advantage of the crowd to clarify the matter first.
"Speaking of which, I finally saw Master Corky. I remember that there is something very important between us that needs to be clarified."
Jiang Yong was alert to the movements of the people around him, and said quickly:
"Since you didn't show up in the previous duel, I won it. Mr. Corgi is a person of status, so he naturally pays attention to integrity, right?"
Speaking of which, there was still a reason for the duel between the two before... Corky wanted to take Ambier as a slave for some reason, maybe because he liked his black hair and black eyes, rich people always like to hunt for novelties.And without knowing what Corky said, Ambier was a little moved by the matter of being a slave.
Fei Lian took good care of Abier. He tried his best to inquire about the news, and finally found out that Abier might be sold to the Imperial Arena.This is a fire pit!This made Fei Lian anxious and angry, Ambier was silent and stubborn, and refused to confess. He had no choice but to find Corky directly, but he didn't expect that the man would unexpectedly propose a duel after making things difficult for a while. option!
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yong finally turned the topic to the duel, and Corky felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.He should have sent a few people directly to the forest to end Jiang Yong, if so, there would be this kid jumping around in front of his eyes.
Northerners have always attached great importance to promises and duels.Remembering that his father told him to get Ambier as soon as possible, Corky couldn't just let Jiang Yong finish his sentence.There are too many miscellaneous people around now, and that adult came to Carter Town recently, so Corky didn't dare to be too presumptuous.Otherwise, Jiang Yong will be tied up directly.
When he rolled his eyes, he had a flash of inspiration, and then he showed a somewhat regretful smile.
"Of course, we Beiyu people always value promises. But..."
He raised his eyebrows, and said slyly:
"Only valid duels and promises need to be kept, right? If neither party is present in a duel, then naturally it cannot be true."
In the final analysis, Corgi still doesn't believe that Jiang Yong really went to the Twilight Forest.Even if he went, it is impossible for anyone to prove it.
"Of course. But in other words, if only one person is present in a duel, he is naturally the winner. You say, right?"
Jiang Yong waited for his words.Smiling inwardly, and pretending to be aggressive on the surface, Jiang Yong took out the lion and scorpion tail hook from the bearskin bag under the crowd's onlookers, and shook it in front of Corky.
"Look, what is this?"
Captain Celtic put the scorpion tail hook into a bearskin bag before, and the capacity of that bag is a mystery like South's satchel before.Jiang Yong, who was still worrying about how to bring the big red eggs to the market, breathed a sigh of relief, and directly put them into a bearskin bag together.
