[Chapter 377] Istanbul!
[Chapter 377] Istanbul!
Nangong Meier's affection for Xing Ming can be seen as long as she is not a fool.
However, Xing Ming was indifferent to this and didn't even react at all. What's more, after rescuing Nangong Xiong and his party from the Jibei Icefield, Xing Ming seemed to have forgotten Nangong Meier. Even the elixir for Nangong Meier was handed over by Nangong Xiong.Xing Ming's behavior made Nangong Meier, who was extremely lost, almost sink to the bottom of the valley.
However, Nangong Xiong's unintentional sentence made Nangong Meier suddenly become twinky, and her fighting spirit was raised again.
It turned out that when he saw his daughter depressed and thinner all day long, Nangong Xiong really couldn't bear it, so he said that Xing Ming planned to restore Wu Yuanli for everyone.
In this way, Nangong Meier suddenly understood that Xing Ming was not such a cold person.
Therefore, while Nangong Meier is expected to restore Wu Yuanli, she has also made up her mind... Never give up!
Looking at his daughter's expression, Nangong Xiong couldn't help shaking his head slightly and smiling bitterly in his heart. If Xing Ming can become his son-in-law, it will naturally be great, but this is just wishful thinking!
At this time, Xing Ming has embarked on the road to Istanbul. Naturally, he is accompanied by two magic pets, Dahei and Xiaohei.
Dahei has completely recovered as early as two months ago. Because of the magical effect of marrow washing elixir, its strength is stronger than before.
The same is true of Xiaohei. His injury is not too serious, but he was bitten by Jiaolong. In just half a month, he has recovered as before.
"Roar~~~!" Sitting on Xiao Hei's back, Da Hei roared in a low voice, looking very excited. He was originally a sedentary person. He was raised in the general's mansion for nearly half a month because of his injury, which almost suffocated him.
Therefore, he was naturally excited to follow Xing Ming this time.
"Choo~~~!"
Xiaohei's continuous shrill name also echoes with the roar of Dahei.
Xing Ming lay on Xiao Hei's back, looked at the excited appearance of the two guys with a smile, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling. Fortunately, Xiaohei flew very high, otherwise, their calls would be enough to make the livestock below run around in panic, and the chickens and dogs jumped!
"Istan City..." Xing Ming closed his eyes slightly and muttered in a low voice.
Before leaving the sunset city, he had inquired about the specific information of Istanbul. Istanbul belongs to the frontier of the Dart Empire, one of the four empires in the eastern continent of the sky, and is a port city.
Because of its special geographical location, Istanbul is very prosperous. The business in the city is extremely prosperous, and it is the most prosperous city in the whole sky!
But because of this, while commerce is developed, although there are many martial artists in Istanbul, the people do not advocate martial arts!
Moreover, most of the warriors in the city are mercenaries.
The vast majority of mercenary regiments on the mainland have stationed in Istanbul. You know, the mercenary regiment earns gold coins through two ways. First, take the initiative to take risks, hunt monsters, or collect some valuable things in exchange for gold coins, such as medicinal herbs.
Another way is to accept other people's commissions and complete the tasks required by the client to obtain commissions.
The business in Istanbul is extremely developed, and the demand for mercenaries is naturally very huge, and most of them are just some tasks to escort the caravan, which is very simple!
Compared with hunting warcrafts in some dangerous places, the escort caravan is naturally much easier. This method is naturally more popular with the major mercenary regiments.
In addition to the mercenary regiment, major businesses also like to recruit a large number of martial artists as their bodyguards or entourage to improve their status.
Therefore, most of the warriors in Istanbul are outsiders. The real local people and businessmen in Istanbul all advocate money and hate force.
Therefore, the laws in Istanbul are very different from those in other places. One of the most unique ones is that 'private fighting is prohibited in the city, and violators will be punished!'
However, even for ordinary strong people, the ordinary imperial army will not be ignored by them. Therefore, at first glance, the law of Istanbul has no binding effect on the strong.
But strangely, according to the legend, there is a supreme master in Istanbul, but anyone who wants to disobey the law will be ruthlessly beaten by the strong man.
"This also means that if you go to Istanbul, you can't use force easily, otherwise, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble!" Xing Ming thought secretly, "The top master of Istanbul..."
Those who can be called the top masters are at least strong at the level of Wuzong. Such strength is absolutely rare in the sky continent. Even if it is placed in the hermit family, it is enough to be the head of the family.
In Istanbul, where there are few strong people, there are such strong people?
Xing Ming couldn't help shaking his head slightly. How big the sky continent is, and there are many unrivaled strong people among them. He is used to seeing many strong people. Even if the god of war suddenly appears in front of him, Xing Ming will not be surprised.
After crossing the Xijiang Kingdom, Xing Ming no longer took Xiaohei, but chose to walk. Dahei still sat on Xiaohei's back and followed Xing Ming in the air.
Xing Ming is very clear that the 'Magic Leopard' has long been in the sight of others, and has even become his own unique symbol. When you see Dahei, others will naturally know your whereabouts!
In order to prevent branches, Xing Ming walked forward alone, only letting Xiaohei and Big Darkness follow.
More than two months later, Istanbul is already far away.
As soon as he entered Istanbul, Xing Ming immediately felt a strange local customs. Although on the surface, Istanbul is no different from other cities, with high walls and bustling streets, unlike other cities, Istanbul has no strict guard.
Except for the open gate, there are no other guards except for the two teams who are responsible for collecting taxes.
However, there was an endless stream of merchants in the past. Even when the sunset city began to auction Yuejia, it was not so prosperous.
After entering Istanbul, Xing Ming turned into an ordinary adventurer and began to look for the nameless weapon shop in Nangong Xiong's mouth!
However, after a few rounds in Istanbul, he looked at almost all the shops, and Xing Ming did not find the nameless weapon shop. As for the rickeky shopkeeper, Xing Ming saw a few, but none of them was the shopkeepers of the weapons shop!
"Is it... that the old shopkeeper has passed away? Or... what else is possible?" Xing Ming pondered that according to Nan Gongxiong, it had been more than ten years before the carrier went to Kongling Mountain.
At that time, the shopkeeper of the weapons shop was already a cringy old man. Now more than ten years have passed, the old shopkeeper may have died.
However, this is not the result that Xing Ming wants to see. If the old shopkeeper dies, it will be much more difficult for him to go to Kongling Mountain.
gritting his teeth, Xing Ming strolled along the streets in the city again. His consciousness kept sweeping through the shops on both sides of the street, and even the conversation between the customers and the boss in the store was good.
However, three days passed quickly, and Xing Ming still had no result. He even inquired about the shopkeepers of each store, but no one had heard of an unknown store!
In desperation, Xing Ming had no choice but to stay in a hotel in the city first, waiting for a careful search.
He was somewhat annoyed. If he was not so anxious when he came, but went to the Venerious of the carrier first, he would not be so helpless now!
"The nameless weapons shop, the rickety old shopkeeper... Where on earth are you?" Sitting in the lobby of the restaurant, Xing Ming meditated.
"Unknown store, unnamed store..." Xing Ming shook his head. In the end, he still had no clue, so he had to give up for the time being!
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the door of the restaurant, "Damn, little beggar, if you don't have money, you dare to order so many dishes and eat overlord meals... Fight me to death!"
Then, there was a burst of angry shouts and the sound of fists and feet.
Xing Ming turned his head slightly and found that a beggar-like man curled up on the ground at the door of the restaurant. Three or four clerks in the restaurant were punching and kicking the little beggar, with a ferocious face!
He couldn't help frowning, hesitated for a moment, and shouted, " Stop!"
There was a strong spiritual fluctuation in his voice, which immediately shook the bodies of the guys. They were so scared that they immediately stopped and looked at Xing Ming in surprise.
"Son, what can I do for you?" Seeing this, the shopkeeper immediately ran over and asked respectfully.
Xing Ming frowned and said, "Who is that person? What's going on?!"
He is not a kind-hearted person, but this happened in front of his eyes, which made him turn a blind eye, but he couldn't do it.
The shopkeeper immediately said, "The man doesn't know. The boy had a big meal in the shop, but he didn't have money to pay the bill. The shop is also a small business, so...hehe..."
Xing Ming nodded slightly and said, "Forget it, count that man's meal money on me!"
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes! Don't worry, I'll spare that boy immediately!"
Xing Ming didn't care and started to eat by himself.
After dinner, as soon as Xing Ming walked out of the restaurant, a thin figure immediately came over from the side.
"Son, thank you for your help!" The thin figure was the little beggar who ate the overlord's meal before. He only saw the stains on his face and looked down on his appearance, but his eyes were extremely bright.
