Chapter 532 Ruins and broken books, Purple Star Tower City!
On a trampled road in the gentle area between the two mountains, Tang Zhen wore a set of leather armor and rode a beast slowly.
At this time, he was dressed the same as Ye Xiu. The only difference was that there was no trace of weather on his face, and there was a touch of power in his movements.
Whenever a wanderer encountered him along the way, he would subconsciously hide aside and let Tang Zhen go first.
Even if you meet a monk, the other person will be wary, look at him secretly, and then pass by.
Compared to the area where Moon God Tower City is located, the living environment here is much more dangerous, and plundering groups often appear.
Tang Zhen turned a blind eye to this and just hurried on, enjoying the scenery along the way.
When he encountered a guy who couldn't open his eyes, he would kill him with a knife and leave his body abandoned in the wilderness.
In this operation to assassinate Count Purple Star, Tang Zhen did not call Fatty and others, but asked them to return to Holy Dragon City first.
Assassination operations must be stealthy and swift, and they must be evacuated immediately after success. Although the monks in Holy Dragon City are numerous, they cannot help much. On the contrary, they will attract the attention of interested people.
Although the other party's cultivation level is not as good as Tang Zhen's, he is the master of a building city after all. He has countless monks in the building city under him, so he must not be underestimated.
Once the elven monks discover that Count Purple Star has been killed, they will definitely launch an all-out search across the entire territory, and they will not let go of anyone in the sky or on the earth.
In this case, Tang Zhen could easily escape, but his Holy Dragon City monks were a little hung up.
Starting the [Universal Electronic Toolkit] and connecting to the conference room of Shenglong City, Tang Zhen had a video communication with all senior managers and handled official business in the past few days.
Today, Holy Dragon City is actively preparing for war and making preparations to completely control the wilderness. At the same time, new travelers are also coming to the world of Loucheng in a steady stream.
They are now gradually adapting to the new environment and are returning to their respective jobs one after another.
Close the app, Tang Zhen glanced at the wild building built on the hill in front of him, and continued to move forward.
The sound of footsteps was heard, and a group of monks with disheveled armor came out of the mountain path. After glancing at Tang Zhen, they started walking silently.
These foreign monks had obviously gone through a fierce battle. Many of them had wounds of varying depths. Perhaps due to limited conditions, they simply bandaged them.
There was nothing special about these foreign monks, but the items they carried intrigued Tang Zhen.
It turned out that these embarrassed alien monks were all carrying some tattered daily necessities in very primitive styles, and some of them were carrying primitive-looking books.
Judging from the damage and style of the books, Tang Zhen confirmed that these books should be quite old.
"Do you want to sell these books? I will give you a good price?"
After a few glances, Tang Zhen looked at one of them who was wearing leather armor and holding books. the foreign female monk asked.
The race of this woman is unknown. She has no hair on her head, but is covered with strange tattoos. Her ears are pointed and erect like those of the elves.
After seeing Tang Zhen's inquiry, the foreign female monk looked at him and asked in a hoarse voice: "Human monk, are you interested in these precious books?"
Under Tang Zhen's deliberate suppression, The other party didn't see his cultivation level, so he talked in this tone.
After the other foreign monks heard the conversation between the two, they all focused their attention on Tang Zhen and kept looking up and down.
Tang Zhen smiled when he heard this. When the foreign female monk mentioned the word "precious", she obviously wanted to make the lion speak loudly!
“Yes, I just like these tattered books, let’s give you a price!”
The alien female monk thought for a moment and gave the price she wanted: "As long as you give me a thousand brain beads, these precious books will be yours!"
She gave this price because she was deliberately going to Raising the price too high leaves room for counter-offering. They were just a bunch of worthless books in her eyes, not worth a thousand brains. She just saw Tang Zhen as a rich man, so she took the opportunity to ask for a high price.
If Tang Zhen agrees to the price, she will naturally make a fortune. If she bargains, she will get at least a quarter of the income, and she will not lose no matter what.
However, she did not know that different things actually have different values in the eyes of different people.
These books were like useless paper in her eyes, but in Tang Zhen's eyes they were worth thousands of gold.
Even if the other party was playing tricks, Tang Zhen would not care about such trivial matters, so when the foreign female monk gave the price, Tang Zhen directly threw out the brain beads and used the pile of The books tied with rattan were sucked into his hands.
The alien female monk felt her eyes flash, and the book in her hand disappeared. At the same time, there was a bright brain in her hand.
She glanced blankly at her head, then put it into her pocket, and at the same time bowed to Tang Zhen, appearing very respectful.
At this moment, she couldn't tell that Tang Zhen was a monk whose strength far exceeded theirs. The other party didn't care about her because of this matter, but she couldn't continue to pretend to be stupid.
As for returning the brain to Tang Zhen, it was not necessary because the transaction had been completed and Tang Zhen agreed to the price she gave.
At this time, there is no big meaning in handing back the brain out of fear. What the other party cares about is her attitude, not the trivial brain!
The companions of the foreign female monks also witnessed this scene and bowed to Tang Zhen with the same serious expressions to express their respect.
Tang Zhen waved his hand nonchalantly, untied the book, and started reading on the beast.
Seeing this, the foreign monks breathed a sigh of relief and continued on their way.
Because Tang Zhen controlled the speed of the beast, the two sides moved at basically the same speed, always maintaining a distance of about ten meters.
About ten minutes later, Tang Zhen suddenly turned to look at the foreign female monk and asked casually: "Can you tell me where you got these books?"
Hearing this, the foreign female monk glanced at the strong man in the team. After seeing him nodding slightly, she replied: "These books were found in a ruins. There are dozens of them in total. , but only these few are still intact."
Tang Zhen nodded and asked casually: "What ruins, wild building?"
The foreign female monk shook her head. , said in an uncertain tone: "It doesn't look like a wild building, but it looks like the ruins of a city. And judging from the extent of the ruins, I am afraid it has been abandoned for at least a hundred years!"
Tang Zhen raised his brows, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then looked at the foreign female monk: "I'm going to take some time to go to that ruins. Can you serve as a guide and the price can be negotiated?"
After hearing this, these foreign monks discussed in a low voice for a few words, then nodded and agreed.
The value of the ruins is not high, and it is not worth keeping secret at all, because many wanderers know that place.
If they can take the opportunity to make friends with a powerful monk, it will definitely be the best thing for them. They can even take over some tasks from the other party from time to time and earn generous rewards. .
After the two parties agreed on the time and meeting place, they separated on the branch road to the nearby Loucheng. These foreign monks were going to the nearby Loucheng Trading Market, while Tang Zhen was going to Zixing Loucheng.
During the rest of the journey, Tang Zhen continued to walk leisurely. When he encountered delicious food and beautiful scenery along the way, he would stop to taste and watch, and seemed to enjoy it.
Walking and stopping along the way, Tang Zhen finally arrived at the area where Zixing Tower City is located.
Yue Qianhua, who has not received news of the assassination for a long time, may have begun to feel restless.
Looking at the giant building city in front of him that looked like a medieval castle, Tang Zhen stretched out on the beast and walked slowly into the trading market in front of the building city.
