Chapter 384 Weird Place
"Your Excellency, you have asked the right person!"
I saw Aiya grinning, then patted her rather tall chest and said: "This little girl is a famous news communicator in Shanjing Principality!"
Having said this, Eya's long eyelashes flickered, and she leaned forward slightly, making a skillful finger-wiping action toward Lei Xiao.
He continued to smile and said: "However, you must also know that our Shanjing Principality rarely contacts the outside world and is rarely known to the outside world. As the saying goes, rare things are valuable, and information is even more so. Naturally. There’s a small price to pay.”
"I see, I understand."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly and immediately understood what the other party meant.
For me, the problem that can be solved with the golden dragon is obviously not a problem.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and ten golden dragons flashed in the palm of his hand, and then were handed to the petite businesswoman.
"As expected of a friend introduced by Uncle Kunbu, he is indeed very generous!"
Seeing the shining gold coins, Aiya's eyes lit up, he raised his eyebrows at Lei Xiao, and said: "Since I was introduced by a friend, I'll give you a 20% discount."
< br>
After saying that, she quickly took eight golden dragons from Lei Xiao's hand with a face filled with joy.
"He is quite a principled guy."
Lei Xiao shrugged slightly, and then put the remaining two golden dragons back into the space bracelet.
"So, may I ask this new friend from the Cold Flame Kingdom who he wants to inquire about from the Shanjing Principality?"
After receiving Lei Xiao's golden dragon, Eya's expression became obviously much more enthusiastic. She greeted Lei Xiao and Lin, sat down at the simple square table next to the container, and asked with a smile, that expression on her face , as if a big deal had just been negotiated.
"This person's name is Bert. He is currently in the Cold Flame Kingdom and holds the position of general of the kingdom."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao, who had just sat down on the wooden chair, went straight to the point: "General Bert is not only a long-famous fourth-level senior strongman, but also the leader of a group in the Leng Yan royal family. The military strength of the legion can be considered to be in a high position.”
After a pause, Lei Xiao looked directly into the other party's starry eyes and said: "In Shanjing Principality, such an outstanding figure has appeared. It must have been already known to everyone, right?"
< br>
"You mean him?"
Hearing this, a strange look suddenly appeared on Eya's delicate face.
I saw her placing the golden dragon on the table in front of Lei Xiao without hesitation, while quickly shaking her head and saying: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, this little lady has never heard of this name. If you ask about it, If it’s this person, then please leave as soon as possible, the little girl doesn’t know anything.”
"Oh?"
Seeing the sudden change in the other party's expression, Lei Xiao pushed the gold coin in front of the other party and said calmly: "It's okay, I'm just asking casually. There is another reason why we are here this time, and that is that we need a large quantity. White jade ore, I wonder if you still have it in stock?”
"If it's just white jade ore, the little girl can provide some help."
A reluctant smile appeared on Eya's fair face again, and then he said: "To be honest with you, recently, a large white jade ore vein was discovered in the mining area of our Shanjing Principality, and mining is intensifying. ”
"And the little girl happens to have the exclusive right to sell this mine. If you need it, the little girl can give priority to supplying it to you in the future."
Having said this, Eya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looking relieved.
"Then let's do it."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then with a thought, he took out another bag of gold coins, handed it to the other party's hand, and said with a smile: "These can be regarded as a deposit. I will find someone to contact you later. matters.”
"Thank you for your trust!"
Seeing the bag full of shiny golden dragons, Eya's starry eyes lit up again and he quickly put the gold coins into his arms.
"Okay, let's get here first."
Nodding to the petite Shanjing Principality businesswoman in front of him, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, stood up from the wooden chair, and walked out of the store with Lin.
"Excuse me, please go slowly! I wish us a happy cooperation!"
And Eya also stood up quickly, sent Lei Xiao and the two to the door of the store, and said goodbye in a warm tone.
When they came back to the bustling street, they saw Lin following closely beside Lei Xiao. She couldn't help but frown slightly and said: "Lord, that businesswoman just now obviously knows something about Bert. But he has always remained silent.”
At this time, under the influence of the illusion cloak, although Lin's clothes were very ordinary, her appearance was also much ordinary.
However, the heroic spirit on his face has been reduced by half, and instead there is a hint of unexpected charm, which attracted some passers-by around him to look at him slightly.
"Indeed, otherwise, she wouldn't have blurted out "You mean him?" in the first place, a response that clearly knew something. ”
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao observed the busy shops around him and said, "Furthermore, it can make a quite astute businessman spit out the golden dragon that has reached his mouth. From this, it can be seen that this giant ax general Bert Behind it, there is obviously an unknown past.”
"Your Lordship's analysis makes sense."
A rustling voice sounded. Lin, who still had her long hair tied behind her head, leaving only two strands of hair hanging down from her left and right ears, asked again: "Then what should we do next?" < br>
"The three goals we came here for, among which the issues regarding the Sky Pterosaur and the White Jade Ore, have been successfully resolved. Only the last one is left, which is to further understand the information about the giant axe general Burt, and then, like before, Orange and White In the same way, make sufficient preparations to finally conquer the opponent.”
Nodding slightly to Lin, Lei Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze and responded: "However, as you and Kunbu said before, this small country located in the mountains is quite mysterious. There are many things that are not consistent with common sense.”
"And we are not sure whether these things are related to the Great Ax General Burt."
Having said this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and continued: "Therefore, the next actions will naturally be centered around Bert, while also investigating these strange and strange things. ”
"What the lord said is absolutely true. When my subordinates stayed here temporarily, they didn't realize that there was any significant difference between this place and other areas. But judging from the current situation, it is indeed quite strange."
On Lin's fair face, her slender eyebrows were almost knitted together, and she said thoughtfully: "Lord, let's go back to the hotel just now to investigate. After all, this is where my subordinate encountered someone before. It is still unknown what new clues may be found about the strange things.”
"That's what I meant."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved and he continued to observe the lively street scene around him.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the street corner ahead.
Looking along the crowded crowd, Lei Xiao noticed.
I saw a young mercenary who was in the caravan that went into the city with him, looking at a loss, surrounded by a group of local residents. Judging from the expressions of these local residents, they were obviously very angry.
The leading short and fat businessman immediately squeezed into the crowd. After some playful smiles, he pulled the still confused young mercenary from the angry crowd to the hotel gate not far away.
However, since the incident happened far away from Lei Xiao, and the environment on the street was very noisy, Lei Xiao could not tell what they actually said.
"Lord, it seems that this young mercenary has done something that aroused the resentment of the local residents."
When the flow of people returned to normal again, Lin couldn't help but look thoughtful and thoughtful.
"That's what it looks like."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao immediately started to read, and said to Lin, and the six people Hidden under the invisibility cloak, Hezhuang, Ye Cang, Chaoyan, Bai Wei, A Bing, and A Ling, who were scattered around not far away: " Okay, let’s go back to the hotel and have a look.”
Walking straight back to the hotel, Lei Xiao noticed.
In the rather spacious hall, the short and fat businessman was saying these things to the young mercenary just now with a serious face.
Seeing Lei Xiao and others entering the door, the short and fat businessman came up to him and said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, you are back! I have booked a room for you. It is at the innermost part of the second floor of the hotel. The most luxurious large suite in the hotel, let alone two of you, can easily accommodate even ten people!”
After finishing speaking, the short and fat businessman handed a simple brass door key into Lei Xiao's hand.
“Well done.”
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao took the key from the other party, pulled the short and fat businessman aside, and then asked: "What happened on the street just now?"
"It turns out that your Excellency also saw it."
I saw helplessness on the greasy face of the short and fat businessman, and he responded: "It's all the new mercenaries who don't understand the rules here, and they were almost besieged by these local residents. You know, the folk customs here are... While being simple, he is also very tough.”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly and asked: "Actually, this is our first time coming to this country in the mountains. We heard that outsiders are not liked here, so we temporarily joined your caravan. I wonder what are the taboos here? ”
"Your Excellency, you have asked the right person."
I saw the short and fat businessman dragging Lei Xiao into the hotel lobby, sitting down on a sofa in a secluded corner, and then responded: "I am different from the vast majority of traveling businessmen who come here occasionally. I am one of the few who only travel to Shanjing Principality and He is a professional businessman on the route between cold flames, so he does know more about things here than others.”
Having said this, the middle-aged short and fat businessman couldn't help but show a hint of caution on his greasy face. He first looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "I have to say, compared with the outside, this place is indeed a little unusual."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to listen.
"Take the rookie mercenary just now. This guy was besieged by the local residents because he took out a few silver dragons to pay for local specialties just now."
I saw the short and fat businessman half covering his mouth with his hand, looking left and right, and speaking quietly.
"That's it."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of contemplation, and thought to himself: "Before this, Kunbu did mention that the residents here only use golden dragons for transactions. To the outside world, they would rather give more. Changes from Silver and Bronze Dragons will not be accepted. ”
"Internally, the gold coins are divided into several parts and used as silver coins and copper coins. This way of using currency is indeed very unique."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and asked again: "Why do the residents here do this?"
"That's one of the weird things about this place."
I saw the short and fat businessman lowered his voice to the extreme again, and responded quietly: "I have also asked multiple local partners about this issue, but not only did I get nothing, but I was also greeted warmly twice. ”
“If there weren’t so few outside businessmen here and the competition wasn’t so fierce, I would have given up my career long ago.”
Speaking of this, the short and fat businessman seemed to recall some bad experience, and shuddered involuntarily, and then said: "I wonder if you have noticed that the architectural style here is also very unique, almost They are all right angles, with no arched structure or rounded structure, and they look very stiff.”
Shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands, the pudgy businessman continued: "When I was young, I traveled to many countries, but I have never seen such a square architectural style."
"I also noticed this."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look thoughtful.
I have to say that I have never seen this kind of architectural style even in the ruins of the elves and the enchantments of the winged people.
"It seems that there are quite a lot of weird places. It can be seen that it is indeed very possible that there is an unknown secret hidden here."
"This mysterious country located in the mountains is really becoming more and more interesting."
Realizing this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, rubbed it, and said to the middle-aged businessman: "Apart from this, is there anything else worth noting here?"
I saw the middle-aged short and fat businessman rubbing the back of his head and thinking for a long time, then shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, sir, I don't know about the others."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged pudgy businessman seemed to suddenly remember something, and then his eyes lit up and he said: "By the way, Sir, when I first came here, I also talked to some local partners about the giant giant. But something unusual was discovered about General Ax Bert.”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao suddenly showed a look of interest and continued to listen. (End of chapter)
