Chapter 138 Gathering at the City Gate
The gate of the blood helmet city has gathered a large group of good people. Among these people, there are ordinary civilians, low-level awakeners who have lost the election, and official or family spies in the city. They have been waiting near the gate since a few days ago and seem to want to know who is the last sever and who can qualify as an adventurer.
Once there are more people, there will be business opportunities, so the hawkers' shouts come one after another.
There are also people arguing loudly about who has the best chance of success.
Of course, there are also unknown people who are curious about what these people are waiting for. Among them, there are two people, including one big and one small. These two people, 30 or 40 years old, are five or three thick, like a big black bear. Young, but thirteen or 14 years old, with fluff on his lips, and the real milky smell is not dry.
These two people, dressed in old clothes, can be seen at a glance, from the countryside to work in the Blood Helmet City. If Xu Dong is here, he must recognize that this is the big bear and the big man in North Point?
Big Bear and Dalang in North Point plan to go to the city to discuss the fur business with the old merchants they had done before. Dalang's young heart saw the bustling city gate. He had been to the Blood Helmet City for the first time and was full of curiosity about everything. Now he can't help asking, "Uncle Xiong, there are a lot of people gathered here at the gate. What on earth are you doing?"
The big bear in North Point is also curious. Looking left and right, he always has no key points. Just then, a chubby aunt squeezed over and was selling the wine brewed in her store. Hearing this, she turned her face and smiled.
Business seems to be very good these days, and it is rare for a fat woman who has been very stingy to be kind. "Today is the last day of the adventurer assessment. Everyone wants to see who is the final winner. This sentence is free, handsome brother, do you want a bottle?
She seemed to be very interested in the big bear in the north corner full of strong muscles, and her eyes seemed to drip out. "Let me tell you, A Dong, who had been rumored before, drank the wine brewed by my family, but killed a two-star awakener. This wine is not expensive, only 2 silver coins a bottle.
2 silver coins? Dalang calculated that it was just 200 copper coins. His scalp was numb. Why is this wine more expensive than oil?!
But, A Dong?!
Big Bear and Dalang in North Point looked at each other and became more curious. For Xu Dong, they respected them from the bottom of their hearts. If it hadn't been for the young man's righteous act, I'm afraid that they would not have appeared today as villagers in North Point Village, but homeless displaced people.
"Do you know A Dong?" The big bear in North Cape quietly pushed away the boss's wife's chubby salted pig hand, took out two silver coins and handed them over, and took away a bottle of wine by the way. "Also, what is this adventurer?"
The boss's wife received a tip of a silver coin and laughed so much that there was a gap in her eyes. "Why don't I know him? That teenager A Dong lived on the second floor of my house at the beginning. He signed up for this adventurer assessment. Once the assessment is completed, it will be a transcendent adventurer. The identity of an adventurer is very good. You don't have to pay door tax when you enter the city. There are all kinds of official preferential treatment for doing business. Once you join the army or politics, you can also get various promotions..."
The people of Blood Helmet City are divided into fourth-class slaves or domestic servants, third-class civilians, second-class poor children, and first-class high-door valves. In a word, becoming an adventurer, in terms of identity, is equivalent to a second-class poor child, and you can even take your own surname.
Speaking of Xu Dong, the boss's wife couldn't help but talk, kneaded all kinds of information she knew, heard, and said it all kinds of information, which shocked the Big Bear and Dalang in North Point.
At the end, Dalang raised his little face and looked worshipful: "Brother Dong is so powerful now, so he can definitely complete the adventurer assessment, stand out and become an adventurer!"
After he finished speaking, a sharp-mouthed man next to him who heard Tong Yan suddenly laughed contemptuously, "The country bumpkin is indeed a country bumpkin, and he is short-sighted."
Da Lang suddenly blushed. In his heart, Brother Dong is the strongest man and can't tolerate any contempt! He argued, "You don't know Brother Dong. How do you know he can't do it?"
The man laughed even more, "Adong? Do I need to know him? He's just a little guy who is less famous. Let me tell you, among the members of this adventurer assessment, there are the protection of the talented people of the Blood Helmet City, the children of the high gate and big valves, and the awakeners who have been tested by blood and fire. Among them, there are many masters of three and four stars. What kind of cultivation does A Dong have? He is just a two-star awakener. How can he win?
Speaking of this, this guy couldn't help saying proudly, "You may not know yet. Yang Shaoxing, the second young master of the Yang family in the blood helmet city, is a three-star awakener. Twenty days ago, he entered the ghost forest with two three-star awakeners and a two-star awakener to kill A Dong. In the face of such a strong enemy, Adong will definitely die!"
"Impossible!" The Big Bear in North Point asserted, "Adong will definitely succeed. Otherwise, let's bet that A Dong can become an adventurer.
Bet?! The sharp-mouthed man's eyes lit up, and then looked up and down at the North Point Bear. "Don't worry, talk about gambling. There is too little gambling money. I won't play with you."
The big bear in North Point pinched the purse in his arms and raised two fingers. "How about betting three gold coins?"
The sharp-billed man's eyes seemed to shine, "Okay, just gamble!"
Three gold coins are also a touching wealth for civilians. This man has absolute confidence that Xu Dong will definitely die. He only said that this is a must-win bet. Of course, he agreed without thinking about it. What's more, he is a famous rogue villain on the West Street of Blood Helmet City. If the other party repents, he is also absolutely sure that he can hit the gold coins.
However, as soon as Dalang heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He trembled and pulled Uncle Xiong's sleeve and said anxiously, "Uncle Xiong, that's the life-saving money in the village for the winter. Don't be angry. Let's go!"
But the big bear in North Point was not moved, but patted Dalang's head gently. "You have to believe in Dongzi, there are always people in the world who can bring miracles..."
Not long, the crowd became noisy, and the two big bears in the north corner looked up. At the wide gate, a group of missionaries in at least 50 or 60 people in red and white costumes appeared. The missionaries were men and women, lined up in two rows, with the same pace and appeared slowly. They looked solemn and bowed, with a sense of sacred cleanliness, which can make people's hearts peaceful and calm. Compared with the noisy crowd, it is a silent silence.
With these two monks, it is a team of 20 warriors. The warriors also wore red and white costumes and were strong under their robes. Their eyes are wonderful and bright, like lights, shining brightly. Everyone has a strong vitality and different strength, but it is certain that they are all awakeners!
And after the samurai team, there are two big men who are surrounded. The two are compassionate and kind-purpose old men and gentle and kind young people.
The sharp-billed man with monkey's cheeks immediately widened his eyes, "This is the Holy Church. Mondo is on top. The twenty awakeners are the sheepskin shield sword warrior group, right? One-star to four-star awakeners exist, so horrible and powerful! And those two, aren't they the husband and bishop of the Mondo Temple and the vice president of Han? These two big shots are usually seen from the beginning and the end. What on earth did they come here to join in the fun today?
The Holy Church did not communicate with others, but just looked for a corner and waited quietly and silently, showing no mountains and rivers, just like the Holy Church.
It wasn't long before the man muttered to himself that the gate surged again.
I saw an old man in gorgeous clothes with soft hair close to his scalp, an indifferent young man in gorgeous clothes, and a young man with the same gorgeous clothes but a hippie smiling face. The three of them walked out of the city gate surrounded by a group of servants. The clothes of those servants are conspicuous and embroidered with the word "Yang".
This is the Yang family!
There are no awakened armored men among the servants of the Yang family. They are all strong men, but it should not be underestimated that there are hundreds of domestic servants, all of whom wear the standard equipment of low-level patrolmen! Moreover, the servants have a moderate and tacit understanding, and are obviously proficient in joint attack. In other words, these 100 people are 100 military-trained one-star awakeners!
And... the three gorgeous men are clearly Yang Shengyao, the contemporary head of the Yang family, and two young men, one is Yang Shaoping, the young master, and the other is Yang Shaoting, the third young master.
When the big bear in North Point saw the Yang character on the servant's clothes, he moved his expression and asked, "Is this Yang family the Yang family that chased Yang Shaoxing, the second young master of A Dong?"
The man with a sharp-billed monkey smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to know the words. Yes, this Yang family is the Yang family."
After the Yang family, the Ma family, the Liang family and other second-tier families also appeared. It can be seen that the Yang family is indeed the most powerful family in the blood helmet city except for the city owner. In addition to the Ma family and the Liang family, and a very few other small families, the remaining families in the city, regardless of the high and poor families, have all entered the Yang family's formation. Time is full of talk, and there is continuous talk and laughter.
These families almost symbolize the folk power of Blood Helmet City and belong to a force in the city. And the leaders of these families can all cause a big earthquake in the Blood Helmet City with one foot.
Many people began to be suspicious. At the end of the previous adventurer assessment, people from major families also came to support them, but it was symbolic, and it was impossible for the giants to gather together. For a while, all kinds of speculation flew like suspicious snowflakes.
The sharp-mouthed man was also stunned and couldn't help breaking his fingers. "The Holy Church, the Yang family, the Ma family, the Liang family... and the bigwigs of the Adventurers League gathered at the gate of the Blood Helmet City. It seems that they are all interested in who can stand out and win. I'm really excited. When the lord of the city went out of the city, it was not as grand as today. There are tens of thousands of people here. Sure enough, it is eye-catching. If I am the winner, my name will certainly be far-reaching in the Northern Hua Province from today!"
It is the first time in my life that I have seen so many big shots in my life. I am fascinated and look forward to the next moment when the winner appears.
