Sword Master Online Chapter 3: : Dongyang City
After half a month of galloping, the carriage finally reached the gate of Dongyang City.
Lu Yu lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the majestic city wall with emotion. This ordinary small city in Broken Star Lake is much larger than the so-called Xiong City Lu Yu saw on Jiangshan Star. Moreover, the flow of people is very large, and the mortals lining up to enter the city are also densely packed.
A few feet above the city gate below, there is a slightly smaller gate. Many cultivators Yujian lined up here, waiting to enter Dongyang City. Guarding this door are two monks wearing armors, and the realm is also seven or eight levels of swordsman.
As soon as Yuntian saw Lu Yu stepping out of the carriage, he hurriedly came over to salute and said: "See you, senior!"
Lu Yu waved his hand and smiled and said: "You don't have to be polite. I have always had a question along the way, and I have to trouble Nephew Yunxian for an explanation."
Yuntian didn't dare to say anything, and respectfully said: "I must know everything below."
Lu Yu pointed at the mortal under the city gate, then pointed at the monk in the sky, and asked: "Accordingly, this mortal should be separated from the cultivator. But why the broken star lake monk and the mortal don’t seem to be too big Difference?"
"The seniors don’t know. Our Broken Star Lake not only has a large population of mortals, but also has a lot of monsters. Therefore, if the mortal city does not have the protection of the monks, it will soon be broken by the monsters. So mortals must depend on the monks. Survival. For the same reason, the wars between us Broken Star Lake cultivators continue. Without such a large population, the cultivators cannot get a steady stream of supplies." Yun Tian explained in detail.
Lu Yu realized this, and then asked: "Then how many mortals are in Dongyang City?"
Yuntian blurted out: "There are at least one million people."
Lu Yu was stunned when he heard this. Any small city in Broken Star Lake has the number of mortals, which is equivalent to the total population of an empire on Jiangshan Star.
Lu Yu thought for a moment, and said sharply: "No wonder there are years of warfare. Otherwise, how can such a huge population base be consumed."
Yuntian smiled bitterly after hearing this, "Yes, resources are limited. A monk wants to live a better life and can only practice hard. Mortals want to live a better life and can only hope that they have a spirit. Rooted."
Lu Yu smiled freely: "In fact, mortals and monks have the same goal, just to make themselves stronger."
After finishing speaking, Lu Yu greeted Yuntian, and the two flew towards the gate of the second floor. But the people in the Yunjia motorcade could only look at the two with envy. Then drove the carriage and drove towards the main city gate.
At this time, on the second-story city gate, there are still several monks in line, waiting for the guards to investigate and collect the spirit stones to enter the city.
Lu Yu didn't stand obediently at the back, but exuded the mid-stage aura of his sword spirit, and flew directly to the front of the team.
Most of the reason why Lu Yu entered the city this time was to borrow the teleportation array to Dongyang City. Due to successive years of war in Broken Star Lake, the rule of respect for the strong is more prominent here. Therefore, the stronger the performance, the more likely it is to borrow this teleportation array.
The monks who originally lined up, saw that the two were about to jump in the line, all of them were angry, and eagerly tried to teach the two short-eyed guys.
But at the moment Lu Yu let out his breath, these people suddenly became quiet, and they didn't even dare to make a sound of the atmosphere, for fear that it would annoy the senior's unhappiness and cause death.
The guard's expression is quite calm, after all, this scene is not the first time I have seen it. Although this senior had never seen him before, they knew Yuntian next to him. So it's not too nervous.
A middle-aged guard hurriedly bowed and saluted Lu Yu: "The little one has seen seniors, according to the rules of this city, we must..."
Before said, Lu Yu dropped a middle-grade spirit stone casually, ignored the guards, and flew into the city directly with Yuntian.
The middle-aged guard stared blankly at the middle-grade spirit stone in his hand, with an unbelievable expression. Although he also had one or two middle-grade spirit stones, they were all savings accumulated over the past ten years. He has been in this city gate for so many years, and he has seen many Sword Spirit Seniors, but he has never seen such a generous one.
The middle-aged guard suddenly woke up and looked up and saw that everyone around him looked greedy. Seeing this, the middle-aged guard hurriedly collected the middle-grade spirit stone, and said to a young guard next to him: "You quickly report to the city lord, saying that Yuntian has brought an unfathomable senior sword spirit."
This "unfathomable" was completely guessed by the middle-aged guard based on the opponent's generous shot.
Entering the city, Lu Yu felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, and the hustle and bustle of the crowd was constantly flowing through the streets of the city.
"Senior, here is a detailed map of Dongyang City. It shows the location of some monks' workshops and the specific location of our Yun family in Dongyang City." Yun Tianbian said as he took out a piece of jade from his storage bag. Jane, hand it to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu was interested in visiting the market here, so he accepted the jade slip without hesitation.
Yuntian saw that Lu Yu accepted the jade slip, his face was full of joy, and he respectfully said: "If seniors are free, you might as well come to our Yun's house and thank you very much. Maybe you can help seniors use the teleportation array. "
Lu Yu nodded and agreed. After all, when I first came to Dongyang City, I was not yet familiar with some things, and some things had to rely on the Yun Family. Especially after Yuntian hinted several times, they might have a way to send themselves to Cang Yue City. Therefore, this Yun family must go again.
A moment later, Yuntian left with wit. Lu Yu stayed in the air for a while, watched the jade slip carefully, and then flew towards Chengzhongfang City.
An hour later, Lu Yu came to the nearest market. According to the jade slip, this is also the largest market in the city.
As soon as Lu Yu entered Fang City, he felt that Fang City here was several times larger than Lian Fang City. The shop can't be seen at a glance, even there are people who set up stalls directly next to the shop, which is a lively scene.
However, Lu Yu couldn't help being disappointed after visiting more than a dozen stores. Although there are many shops here, they don't have what the sword spirit realm needs. They are all swordsman's things.
"It seems that you have to go to a bigger city. Especially Cang Yue City, you have to go anyway." Lu Yu whispered to himself.
Then, Lu Yu walked around the market at will, trying to understand the market situation in Xiaxing Lake. Turning around in a circle made Lu Yu a little surprised. The weapons, armors, and medicines here are ridiculously expensive, equivalent to several times the price of Jiangshanxing. The strange thing is that these raw materials are very cheap. This made Lu Yu a little puzzled.
Until Lu Yu released the breath of sword spirit, he ran to a shop and asked the boss directly what was the reason. When the boss saw Lu Yu's breath, his legs became weak, and he quickly told Lu Yu what he knew.
It turns out that the reason why these weapons, armors, and medicines are so expensive is partly because of years of warfare. Everyone wants to be stronger and have a higher realm in battle. Therefore, there is a shortage of pills and weapons. The other part is that Broken Star Lake has a large population, so there are naturally more monks, but the resources are limited and it is impossible to supply all the monks. Under this circumstance, it is natural that the higher price will get the price, causing the price to rise continuously.
As for why the prices of raw materials are cheap, it is also because of the large number of monks. More monks will kill more monsters, so will mine more spirit mines and discover more elixir. It stands to reason that if these raw materials are cheap, things should also be cheaper. However, due to the continuous wars and chaos of the monks here, most of the monks are busy practicing to improve their strength. As a result, there is a serious scarcity of refiners and pharmacists.
Lu Yu had no expression on his face after hearing these things. But my heart has long been happy. The finished products are expensive and the materials are cheap. Isn't this what I have been dreaming of for a long time?
However, Lu Yu also understood in his heart that the more so, the more careful. The scarcer the item, the more compelling the sale. "Must move and then decide" Lu Yu always kept Xia Lao's words in mind.
Until night fell, Lu Yu left Fang City under the control of Dangguang and flew towards the Yun family...
At this time, in the lobby of the Yun family, an old man and a young man were sitting in it talking about certain things. The youth is the Yuntian that Lu Yu knows. The old man is Yun Tian's father, named Yun Hexuan.
"Father, can this senior take the place of our Yun family to participate in the competition." Yun Lin said.
Yun Hexuan listened to his son's words, thought for a moment, and hesitated: "Listen to you, this senior knows how to puppets. And the puppets look very lifelike, and their strength is higher than that of ordinary puppets. This shows that this person The method of refining is certainly not weak. It's just that why should people help us Yun family?"
Yuntian smiled and said: "This senior needs to use the teleportation formation in the city to go to Cangyue City. But this teleportation formation is generally not usable, even the Lord Lord only has one use right. How can the Lord easily lend it to others Use. However, if this senior is willing to represent our Yun family, go to Cangyue City to participate in the competition. Isn't this a killer killer?"
Yunhexuan heard this~ IndoMTL.com~ shook his head and smiled bitterly: "God, you still don’t understand the human world! Even if this senior agrees to participate in the competition on our behalf. But in my heart, I will definitely think that we are threatening to take advantage of it. He, he must have been perfunctory during the test. This is the best result. If this person has a small belly, hates us, and kills us, what should we do?"
Yuntian listened to his father's analysis, and suddenly felt that he was reckless, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. Unexpectedly, his unintentional actions would almost bring disaster to the family.
"But... But if we don’t have the help of this senior this time, our position may be replaced by other families, and we will completely lose the military rights of the last few cities. If this is the case, our Yun family will be completely Declined." Yuntian still said unwillingly.
Yunhexuan stood up and looked up at the sky. After a long silence, he slowly said: "If this senior really has a high talent for refining tools. Then we might as well take Give him that thing."
When Yuntian heard this, his face changed drastically, and he said: "How can this work, that thing is..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Hexuan's sharp eyes blocked the second half of the sentence.
Yun Hexuan stroked his beard, calmly said: "Our Yun family has been fascinated by the art of refining for thousands of years. But that thing is too far away for us. If this person can really help us regain ten The armament rights of the Seven Cities, why not give him this thing?"
"Seventeen cities? Isn't that going to be in the top 100?" Yun Tian said in surprise.
Yun Hexuan nodded, did not speak, looked at the sky, a look of expectation flashed in his eyes...
