Chapter 31 Foreigners
An hour later, walking on the streets of the city, wearing a black robe that Oscar got from nowhere, Jiang Wei finally looked like a black Mercury, but this robe was not much better than that worn by Oscar. The fabric was inferior, the workmanship was rough, and several patches were patched with miscellaneous cloth on the back. Jiang Wei from the gorge From Gukou to the streets of the city, passers-by who passed by saw that he had always held his head high and looked condescending.
"Are all the people here so arrogant?" Jiang Wei turned to little Oscar doubtfully. He finally understood why Oscar said that he was kind. It turned out that he had always talked to him with equal and kind eyes and tone. Obviously, in the city where he stood, little Oscar should not find a more friendly person than himself.
"You haven't seen the monks who serve God. In their eyes, the fourth person is just the humble dust under God's feet." Oscar looked gloomy, and his thin body stood on the corner of the street, facing the cold wind, staring angrily at the most brilliant steeple building in the middle of the street.
That building is similar to the Gothic architecture of human beings in the Middle Ages. In addition to the main building built of metal materials, the whole wall is inlaid with rows of complex glass, and the sharp arched arches are branded with various mysterious reliefs, which looks majestic and brilliant, and at the same time has a cold and fierce smell.
Several people in black robes and black hoods on their heads, holding several old books in their hands, walked slowly out of the arched gate.
"I didn't expect that there would be fanatical religious beliefs here. It's incredible." Jiang Wei stared at several monks who came out and shook his head.
Suddenly, a monk walking in front of him stopped, slightly raised his head under the hood, and shot a cold gaze at Jiang Wei's place.
Jiang Wei was originally observing the monks interestingly. His eyes touched the eyes of the monks in front of him, and the extremely uncomfortable feeling flowed through his whole body. In the depths of his brain, in the dark consciousness space, a pair of evil eyes appeared in his mind.
Jiang Wei's body was shocked and his mind was not good. As soon as his thoughts turned, a vast force between heaven and earth gushed out, and the five elements of power instantly defeated the evil eye...
"It's not good!" Jiang Wei secretly said in his heart that he knew that the monk must be using some mysterious power to spy on his spiritual activities. After dispelling the mysterious power of the invasion, he immediately grabbed little Oscar's hand and slipped to another alley.
"Herman, what happened?" The hoarse inquiry came from behind the monk who looked at Jiang Wei's far away.
"I don't know..." The monk Herman rubbed the books in his hand, with a doubtful look on his thin face and shook his head: "Maybe it's my illusion. A teenager who just passed by gave me a very uncomfortable feeling. He has a very strange power... But he has gone far away..."
"Is it a foreigner?"
"No, it seems to be a little different from the strength of the foreigners I have contacted before."
......
Spiritual invasion? Or can you get out of your body when you practice to the point of separation? Jiang Wei was appalled and hurried through the crowded street. He kept thinking about the energy used by the monk to invade his mind. The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt. Fortunately, the five elements of power could defeat that evil force, otherwise wouldn't all his secrets be detected by him? It's extremely dangerous.
"Jiang Wei, what happened? We can go to the newspaper library for a rest. Oscar trotted all the way, following Jiang Wei, who was in a hurry, and whispered. The child was very alert. Just now, Jiang Wei's expression changed greatly. He immediately noticed something wrong and didn't make a sound. He just followed quickly.
"Oscar, the monks of Black Mercury, who are they? Listen to your tone, they have a high status in Black Mercury, right?" Jiang Wei stopped and turned around to touch Oscar's little head and asked. Just now, the monk gave him such a strange feeling that he could casually detect his spiritual activities with mysterious power. In Jiang Wei's world, this is a master of the split period. For example, people at the level of Aunt Shirley can invade their consciousness in a mysterious way. Searching for information in people's heads, but will that monk be a master of the distracting period? What's wrong with that evil eye?
"They - they are the rulers of the black crystal, the walkers of God in the world, and the first class." There was an indescribable hatred in Oscar's childish voice, and he almost gritted his teeth: "In their eyes, we were born to serve them in the fourth class."
Jiang Wei looked at the child's ferocious face and couldn't help but feel a little heavy. How much hatred is needed to make innocent children carry such heavy hating shackles?
With Oscar's intermittent narration, Jiang Wei has a general understanding of Black Mercury.
It turned out that Black Mercury was actually similar to the Black Mountain Empire. Although the people here were isolated from the outside world by heavy magnetic storm nebula due to space shocks, they have established a hierarchical ruling system. However, unlike the imperial rule of the Black Mountain Empire, all the rights here belong to gods and are a fanatical church. A united country.
For thousands of years, the only supreme god here is Yin Shanxi, the god who controls life and death. Under the supreme god, he is the god of justice who came to Black Mercury - Simis. For thousands of years, the monks who serve the gods here are first class, occupying important positions in major religious government agencies. The second class are big businessmen, monopolists, some politicians and university people who hold the lifeline of the country's economy. The third class are participants in various small vendors and regime affairs, such as some small civil servants and ordinary workers. People, the fourth class, are the descendants of various prisoners for thousands of years. They occupy more than half of the population of Black Mercury, but they are never allowed to participate in politics, do business, study, and can only survive by selling their physical strength to serve the gods.
From childhood to adulthood, Oscar's father unfortunately died when a mine was bombed. He has been surviving by begging and working all kinds of small jobs. At a young age, he has experienced all kinds of vicissitudes and suffering, and he is extremely hates the strict rule of Black Mercury.
"Oscar, according to you, the descendants of prisoners account for 60% of the population. Why don't you resist those monks?" Jiang Wei is not only sad about Oscar's tragic life, but also full of doubts. You should know that the human world outside the Chasauer star domain, such as the free federation, freedom and equality and other ideas have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In order to fight for these supreme human rights, he has experienced many revolutions.
"Resistance is useless. Many people die. Almost every few years, there will be resistance, but people will die." A look of frustration appeared on Oscar's face: "The monks also have some warriors who hold the power given by God. They can turn ice and snow into sharp arrows and cannonballs, and can also use the power given by God to transform the most powerful armored shield. In Black Mercury, they are invincible."
Jiang Wei frowned slightly, and there was a little detail in his heart. It seems that the people on Black Mercury do have some mysterious power. This power is definitely not divine power. After all, the excavation of the divine civilization has not been more than 500 years, and the Chaschal Galaxy has been almost isolated from the world for thousands of years. Maybe it is better to be careful.
Black Mercury is only about a quarter of the size of the earth and is divided into several administrative areas. The city where Jiang Wei is located is called Bisinha City, which is second only to the capital Water Spirit City in Black Mercury.
"Oscar, I want to go to Yalta Auction House. How can I get there?" Although he sympathizes with Oscar, Jiang Wei can't help him. The only thing he can do now is to find the Yalta auction house as soon as possible and carry out the task of this trip. He can also auction some other things there and exchange some coins for Oscar. After all, there are many valuable art in the miniature capsules of Gu Jianfeng. Pin, this may be the only place Jiang Wei can help Oscar, at least let this child live a good life.
"Yalta Auction House?" Oscar frowned slightly: "That's the largest commercial auction house in the new city, a little far from the old city."
"No matter how far it is, you lead the way. I won't treat you badly, Oscar." Jiang Wei laughed and said that distance is not a problem at all. Now he is eager to take off the blood crystal on his body. After all, Black Mercury is not familiar with it and is strange everywhere. In case something happens, it will be bad.
"I want a hundred gold coins, okay?" Oscar frowned and said with a smile.
"It turns out that this boy's embarrassed look is pretending, damn it." Jiang Wei couldn't help laughing when he saw the child's eccentric expression. He patted Oscar's head rudely: "Hurry up and lead the way, I promise you."
"Okay, this is a man's promise. Don't go back on it!" Oscar was overjoyed and almost jumped up. He knew that foreigners were the richest. He didn't expect to meet such a generous foreign brother this time. This time he really made a lot of money.
"Ye�, a man's promise." Jiang Wei smiled faintly and nodded. A man's promise? It turns out that in the eyes of this boy, I am an unscrupulous man! Haha! Suddenly, Jiang Wei had an illusion that Oscar in front of him had become his primary school brother, and he should protect the seniors of these primary school students. Face to face the naughty and lovely foreign child, a sense of responsibility surged in his heart.
"Extra, extra, Extra, Daily Daily Daily News: The death of the Emperor of the Empire of Montenegro, the three princes are surrounded, and swordsmen meet... The harvest festival is approaching, and Bishop Sodom calls on believers to go to religious places to express their gratitude and atonement... "Suddenly, several children with thick piles of newspapers emerged from the street crowd. He They shouted loudly and shuttled flexibly in the crowd like swimming fish.
The road paved with steel metal echoes the metal buildings on both sides of the street, cold and stiff, and several youthful faces appeared in the black robes all over the street, like a touch of bright colors.
The news in the child's mouth is like a bolt from the blue. Jiang Wei stood for a moment in surprise, and then whispered a few words in Oscar's ear.
Oscar nodded to Jiang Wei, immediately tiptoed in the crowd and shouted excitedly at a newspaper boy, "Kyle, Kyle, come here and give me a copy of the Black Water Daily."
Hearing Oscar's voice, the short newspaper boy immediately ran over. He was slightly shorter than Oscar, with a few white hemp on the tip of his nose. He grinned and laughed, "Oscar, do you know words? Haha, don't fool me. I have to sell these newspapers quickly, otherwise I won't be able to change today's black bread.
"It's not me, but the gentleman next to me." Oscar curled his lips and stared at Kyle. He felt that it was a shameful thing for Kyle to laugh at his wordless in front of Jiang Wei.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Sir, your newspaper!" At this time, Kyle noticed Jiang Wei's existence, quickly restrained his smile, half bowed his waist, made a courtesy to Jiang Wei, and handed a newspaper with both hands.
"Thank you." Jiang Wei took over the newspaper, and he was really flattered by the respect for the children.
"What?" When Kyle heard the sound of "thank you", he felt something strange. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Wei carefully for a while. There was a trace of brilliance in his eyes: "Are you a stranger?"
"Shh!" Oscar listened carefully and covered Kyle's mouth: "The voice is lower." I looked at the people around me in a panic for a while and was relieved to see that no one noticed the abnormal situation here.
"Cluck." Kyle squeezed his eyebrows at Oscar, and then secretly glanced at Jiang Wei, as if to say, "Oscar, you're really good at it. You lead a fat sheep."
Foreigners, in the mouth of Black Mercury and even the whole Chasauer Star Domain, are human beings from the outside the specific Chasauer Star Domain. These people come to Black Mercury for nothing else, basically just come with the dream of making a fortune. They are often rich and have a lot of good things.
In Black Mercury, foreigners are usually real fat sheep, especially some personal stowaways who do not belong to big auction houses and mercenary unions. They need help when they come to Black Mercury, and they are generally paid a lot to help them.
"Oscar, I'll come to you in the evening. I'll go first, hehe." Kyle muttered in Oscar's ear for a long time and didn't know what he was talking about. Oscar shook his head desperately. After whispering for a while, the child shook his hand and smiled and sank back into the crowd.
"Kyle, you haven't received the money yet." Oscar came to his senses and shouted to the center of the crowd.
"No, you just remember it!" A childish response came from the crowd.
"If he asks me for money now, I really don't have it." Jiang Wei laughed dumbly. The newspaper in his hand was a medieval copperplate paper. Every page was full of thick and comfortable to touch. It was also carried the temperature on the children's hands. In a trance, Jiang Wei seemed to have returned to the childhood years ago with the little fat man Zheng Shichao and Lv Chukai, as if they were for Exercise yourself and have distributed leaflets and played like the children in front of you on the street...
"Mr. Jiang Wei, let's go." Oscar took Jiang Wei's hand with a smile: "You have to go through a river to the Yalta auction house, where I will take you on a very cheap boat. It doesn't matter if you don't have money on you. I still have five copper coins when I invite you to take a seat."
