Chapter 935 Drawing Shop
Inside the house, the sunlight outside shone through the gaps in the curtains into the dim room. Ruola lowered his head, knelt on the floor and kept sobbing: "Why? Why? over and over again Why did this happen? Teacher Bei Ji died, and the tutor...the tutor..."
She was so sad that she didn't even go to the afternoon class, tears streaming down her clothes, and she couldn't stop it. Sobbing was her most painful loss.
"I have not had the care of my parents since I was a child. You have taken care of me like a grandfather and a mother. But now I have lost my most beloved people one after another. I feel really sad. Why do you want to Leave me under such circumstances?" Ruola fell to the ground and cried loudly.
I don’t know how long she cried. Her hoarseness gradually stopped her crying. She suddenly sat up and stared blankly at the blank wall: "No, I can’t let my relatives be so unclear. If he dies, I must find the murderer and bring him to justice!”
...
In the afternoon, around 2:40, Yang Yan, who had slept until now, got up from the big soft bed in the hotel. He yawned, washed his face, rubbed his neck and murmured Said: "I have to say, the bed here is so comfortable that I don't even want to get up. The waiter It is said that aromatherapy in the room can help improve the quality of sleep. It seems that I should consider getting these things in my room in the future, otherwise I will get dizzy after reading those reports all day long.”
After a good sleep, of course I want to eat something good, and of course I need to move after eating. It has been two days since he arrived in the royal capital of Xindmoor, and Yang Yan has not had a good stroll around the city. Before, he had been busy figuring out where Gale was going, but now he is too lazy to think about that.
Wangdu is a world-class metropolis. Of course, there are many places to visit. In addition to some fun and interesting places that outsiders often go to here, the biggest fun here is of course browsing the shops.
There are many shops in the royal capital. Not only are there many shops, but they also sell many things. Some shops are not found in other places, such as places specializing in selling fortification drawings and Taobao shops.
The so-called Taobao store is actually a place that sells some random things. These things are collected from various places. They may be very useful, or they may be worthless. The key depends on whether the buyer needs it or not.
Kang Yan came to these two stores by chance, and these two stores were actually the same, they were right next to each other.
“Hey customer, what do you need to buy?” When the owner of the drawing shop saw a rare customer coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him with a smile. Although this store is not big, the decoration is very high-end, just like a small store where you buy high-end treasures, and even more so.
“What else can I buy when I come here?” Yang Yan walked into the store and looked around. He saw a small store filled with various pictures. Roll paper, including magic paper, parchment paper, ordinary white paper, etc. These coils are tied with paper strings and are different from old to new.
The shop owner is short, with a round head, a small bald head, and two pointed mustaches on his mouth. He patted his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, look at the stupid question I asked. In addition to buying blueprints, you also order the materials needed for city defense. I haven't been open for a long time, and my head is confused."
Yang Yan saw that the shop was not big, but the layout of the layout was still very detailed, including city walls, bunkers, towers, mechanisms and city-wide defense systems.
The store owner followed Yang Yan and said: "Young man, you may not notice that I am wearing reading glasses, but I still have a good way of seeing people. When I see you, you are not an ordinary person."
“Oh?”
The store owner said: “Generally, people of this age, You won’t visit a store like ours. If you are not a noble son in the territory, you are the owner of a certain castle.”
In Saint Vicoia, there are many nobles and lords who own private castles. To protect your castle, you will naturally buy some things for defense from time to time.
Yang Yan smiled, regardless of whether he really saw something, and asked: "I want to see the best city defense drawings here."
"What category?"
< br>"Any category." Yang Yan is naturally concerned about the safety of Yanyang City. Although he usually sounds nonchalant, in fact he is the person in Yanyang City who is most concerned about the safety of the city. Now that it's rare to come to a metropolis like Hindmoor, he certainly has to bring back some more advanced and priority defenses.
After a while, the shop owner held a lot of drawings and placed them on the glass counter: "Come and take a look. Here are the best fortification drawings of my shop. They are guaranteed to be of high quality. Now I'm here. These are the fortifications used on the Erkan front line. I tell you, as long as they are assembled. These fortifications ensure that your castle is impregnable and cannot be shaken by cracks or giant dragons."
"You have too many guarantees," Yang Yan opened the blueprints one by one and said, "These. Is it the best fortification drawing you said? ”
"Really?" Yang Yan casually picked up a drawing and said, "This drawing of Tianlei Tower is an outdated drawing from fifty or sixty years ago." He smiled softly and said, "If you don't do it sincerely, Regarding this business, I believe you are not the only one selling blueprints in the capital city, right?”
< br>
Seeing Yang Yan’s request, the store owner hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: “Hey, don’t leave, it seems I met an expert today.”
“I’m not an expert, but I’m not. I'm not someone you can take advantage of." Yang Yan said, "I know that in your profession, sometimes. There may be no business for several months, but if there is one business, it will be enough for you for several years. I can tell you clearly that my business is much larger than what the average castle owner brings to you, so you can. You'd better not fool me."
"It's clear. Bai." The shop owner hurriedly smiled and put away all the junk pictures: "I do have good things here, but you know that the government is very strict about our industry, and the best and most advanced drawings are generally not allowed to be sold. It’s even difficult for us to get.”
Yang Yan just said: "Whether it is a good thing or not, I have to read it before deciding."
"Yes." The shop owner quickly took out a few new volumes of pictures: "Look at these , I won’t say it for now, you can see it with your own eyes.”
Yang Yan is very good. He looked at these drawings patiently. Every time Yanyang City's defenses were upgraded and updated in recent years, he had to personally observe and supervise them, and he would also ask the engineers in detail. After all, this was a fundamental factor related to his survival, so for Even if he is not an expert in the city defense system, he is still half of it.
After more than half an hour, the shop owner asked: "How is it? It's a good thing, right."
Yang Yan pointed to the drawing in his hand and asked: "This "Hell Siege" 》How much is the project, what materials are needed, and how long does it take to complete? ”
The shop owner said: "You are really good at it. You asked the key right away." He searched among the picture scrolls of "Hell Siege" and quickly found a list of materials, and said: "This "Hell Siege" It is a comprehensive defensive fortification that can not only defend and attack, but also trap enemies. It is a defensive fortification built inside a large city. As for the amount of work and the time of the project. The time depends on the size of the defense. Generally speaking, a small city of one hundred square kilometers will take three to five years to complete."
"Three to five years" Yang Yan shook. Shaking his head: "It takes too long."
The store owner said: "It takes a long time, but it is very practical." He whispered: "This fortification was completed more than ten years ago. It is used in Sombra City, that is, the Royal Palace, so you should know what level of drawing this is. Although Sombra has been replaced with more advanced fortifications, "Hell Siege" is still the best in the world. The fortifications in the city are specially suitable for small and medium-sized cities."
Yang Yan said: "More than ten years ago? Didn't you have the latest technology here? "
The store owner laughed: "How is this possible? The latest fortifications in the palace have always been top secret. I spent a lot of money to photograph "Hell Siege" from the Paradise Building. Yes. I saw that you repeatedly asked for the best drawing, so I took it out, otherwise I would not let the customer see it easily.”
Yang Yan patted the picture scroll of "Hell Siege" and put it aside, then asked: "Where is this picture of "Tianji Dark Tower"?"
The store owner said: "This is a foreign product, specifically what is it?" I don't know where. Many important frontline fortresses at home and abroad have such towers. They are generally listed as the main towers of fortress defenses and are specially used to kill dragons. The fortifications built by this thing are longer and more complicated. Maybe. have to It takes ten years to build one, but it is very effective."
Yang Yan nodded: "I want this, and tell me about the "Hell Siege" as well. In addition, I want some simple and practical fortifications that can be quickly repaired and constructed."
"Yes." The shop owner knew that he had met a big customer, so he went to get the drawings.
More than an hour later, Yang Yan bought a total of seven picture scrolls. Although he did not listen carefully to the store owner's introduction to each one, he was sure that these were practical and good things. Of course, the unit price is also high. The seven picture scrolls cost a total of 3 million gold coins, and the two pictures "Tianji Dark Tower" and "Hell Siege" alone accounted for 2.3 million gold coins.
After packing and folding the drawings and putting them in a small box, Yang Yan turned around and went to the Taobao store next to him. He was very interested in these small shops and wanted to see what was sold here. Moreover, this shop was no better than a drawing shop. Although there were not many customers, there were always a few people shopping inside.
