Chapter 1 Ridya City
After a five-day journey, Li Xiaobai and the nine brothers finally arrived in Lideya City.
Ridea is the provincial capital of Ganning Province, where the territory of Ganlian is located. It is also the largest city in the northeast of the Shenhua Empire. It connects the surrounding provinces, with developed transportation and a very developed natural economy.
The city of Rydia is surrounded by plains. The main city has a 20-meter-high wall. The city wall is the most important living area, with about 1 million people living there. Outside the city wall, there are a large number of foreigners and civilians on the north and south sides, nearly two million people. The east and west sides are used to welcome foreigners into the city.
Ten people of Li Xiaobai are now standing at the gate of the East City, looking up at the high wall. The three words "Ridea" are written on the doorway, and a bold momentum emerges.
"Big boss, this wall is so high. Are we going to live here in the future?" Eb couldn't help asking.
Li Xiaobai suddenly remembered in his mind that "the heavenly grandma is facing the sky, pulling out the five mountains to cover the red city, and the rooftop is 48,000 feet, and she wants to fall southeast for this." Only the momentum of Tianmou Mountain can shock people's hearts.
"I haven't seen the world. Is this very high? Li Xiaobai was shocked and immediately laughed at Ebu.
The other eight people laughed gloomyly and made contemptuous gestures to Eb.
"Okay, let's go to the city and have a look." Seeing that it was noon on this day, Li Xiaobai came to such a big city for the first time. It's better to get familiar with the situation as soon as possible.
"Good!" Nine people are very happy.
A graceful girl, a handsome man, beautiful, ugly, gentlemanly, rude, on the streets of Lideya City, there is a bustling stream of people, which can be seen by all kinds of people. The carriages on the street pulled the goods, and the shouts in the shops all showed the vitality of the city. Neat clothes, fancy styles, and exquisite hand jewelry indicate the richness of the city.
Li Xiaobai's ten people looked at the flow of people, sighed at the prosperity of Deya City here, and began to look forward to the future life.
Ten people came to a restaurant, and Bdan shouted, " boss, let's go to lunch. I'm starving to death."
In fact, several people are hungry. Li Xiaobai did not feel hungry because of his cultivation of internal strength. When he was excited for a moment, he forgot the hunger of his brothers.
Li Xiaobai smiled and took the lead in entering the restaurant.
Ten people came to a private room, gathered around a table, picked up the menu and ordered food.
"Wow, what is this? It's so expensive. It costs 50 copper coins for a bowl of tofu!"
"Yes, it's expensive. What kind of dish is this? 2 silver coins, just grab the money!"
Li Xiaobai interrupted everyone's words: "Hey, what price do you think? Just order directly, okay? If you like it, just order it. You are all going to be heroes in the future, and you are actually interested in thinking about copper coins and silver coins. Enlarge the eyes."
Nine people silently ignored the price and only looked at the name of the dish. Whoever wants to eat it, just order it.
Uro asked curiously, " boss, shall we go to the hotel tonight, or go directly to your college?"
Li Xiaobai smiled and said, "Ha ha, you think of this, it's good. Let's change some gold coins first, inquire about the place of the college, and then make a final order."
Li Xiaobai wants to buy a house in the city as a safe place for his brothers to live, which is also convenient for him to teach martial arts in the future.
Ten people ate happily, had a good meal, paid out of the restaurant, and went straight to the mercenary hall.
During dinner, Li Xiaobai thought of going to the mercenary hall to exchange crystal cores for gold coins. When he was in Lideya City, he found out that although the price of crystal cores in the mercenary hall was cheaper, it was safe and not easy to reveal his identity.
The mercenary hall of Lideya City is located in the northern part of the central area, adjacent to the Riedya Magic College, as if it is specially prepared for the students in the college.
Li Xiaobai and his brothers took three carriages and quickly came to the mercenary hall.
The mercenary hall is a square building with five large circular columns standing in front of it. From the cylinders to the hall, there is a long talcum bar in front of it, and many beautiful staff stand behind the counter. There were a large number of people in the hall, publishing tasks, handing over tasks, and mercenaries making fun of them, which was very lively.
Li Xiaobai learned about the general setting of the mercenary hall and business handling through the instructions in the lobby.
Li Xiaobai passed through the right side of the counter and went from the side corridor to the back hall, where there were various business areas, including the business of buying and selling crystal cores. Li Xiaobai found the crystal core trading office and entered the room. There were three beautiful clerks sitting and writing records. Li Xiaobai saw that there were still three people in line in front of him, so he had to stand behind the queue and wait for the transaction.
"Brother, are you here to buy crystal nuclei or sell crystal nuclei?" A melodious voice spit out from the mouth of the beautiful clerk.
"I... I'll sell the crystal nucleus." Li Xiaobai is really helpless. He is guilty at a young age.
Li Xiaobai took off the burden on his back and opened it, revealing all kinds of shining crystal nuclei inside. Li Xiaobai obtained ten four-level crystal nuclei when he cooperated with the magic-eyed sable for the first time. This time, he left Luling Village and got ten four-level crystal nuclei by sweeping the Navi Forest at one time. A total of 20 four-level crystal nuclei were taken out and sold. Only one five-level crystal nucleus, 30 third-level crystal nuclei and 70 of the Xumi ring were left. The second-stage crystal nucleus of the fast wolf.
Although the beautiful clerk dealt with the crystal nucleus every day, she took out so many crystal nuclei at one time, all of which were four-level crystal nuclei. More importantly, she took it out from a child and looked demented for ten seconds before she calmed down, but the ups and downs of her seductive chest still showed that she was still surprised.
"Little brother, I'll call the master to identify" The beautiful staff did not dare to ask the appraiser behind him to identify these crystal nuclei. Such an important thing must be done with the most prestigious appraiser.
The whole room looked at Li Xiaobai quietly, doubting, and guessing Li Xiaobai's*.
Li Xiaobai stood upright and motionless. He was not disturbed by the eyes of the people in the room at all, quietly waiting for the beautiful clerk to return.
"Master Robby, please come in!" As soon as the touching voice of the beautiful clerk came out, a well-dressed man in his fifties came out.
Master Robby did not look at Li Xiaobai, but directly looked at the baggage on the table, touched the crystal nucleus in his hand, and read the stains in his mouth.
"Children, your goods are good. I estimated it and gave you a good price, a total of 22,000 gold coins. What do you think?" After thinking for a while, Roby suggested to Li Xiaobai.
Li Xiaobai has no idea of gold coins. In the past, he only knew that a four-level crystal core was about 1,000 gold coins, but now he has sold an average of 1,100 gold coins. He immediately replied, "Deal!"
Master Roby nodded, then told the beautiful staff to handle it, and then left.
Li Xiaobai got a purchase voucher from the beautiful clerk, and then received 22,000 gold coins with a gold coin card in the financial office next door.
Li Xiaobai and the nine brothers went out of the mercenary hall and felt around with mental strength. They found that the mercenary hall did not send anyone to investigate themselves, and finally believed that the transaction in the mercenary hall was really safe. Yes, I don't know how much the daily transaction volume of the mercenary hall is, and it is impossible to send someone to investigate yourself because of your own gold coins, thus destroying the credibility of the mercenary union.
Because the mercenary hall is next to the Riedria Magic Martial Arts College, Li Xiaobai casually took a look at the gate of the college. The gate of the courtyard is very ordinary. Two tall camphor trees are lined up and around. There is a wooden room under the camphor tree, and the wide avenue between the two wooden rooms goes straight to the admission area.
Judging from the appearance of the gate of the courtyard, Deya Magic Martial Arts College is not worthy of its popularity at all, which is too shabby. But because of this simplicity, Li Xiaobai likes it. The really meaningful college will not decorate itself. Its foundation must be hidden inside.
Before the nine brothers expressed their feelings about the shabby courtyard door, Li Xiaobai pushed them around to see if they could find a house. With gold coins, the house had to be done. dang
Near the college, the ten brothers watched blindly. If there was a sales store, they would get in and inquire about the price and geographical location of the house.
After entering three sales stores, the ten brothers were a little discouraged. Either the house was too small, or the location was too far from the college, or too old, which was too far from their expectations. Li Xiaobai originally thought that as long as there were gold coins, no matter how expensive they were, they would be willing to spend. It was very simple to buy a house. Along the way, he found that buying a house was really a worrying thing.
Luck still came. The ten brothers came to the fourth sales store, found the sales lady behind the workbench, and explained their house purchase requirements.
The sales lady's professional smile: "Little brother, I happen to have a house here that you are looking for. It's close to the Magic Martial Arts College, and it's a detached house. The owner is going to do business in other places and is entrusting me to sell it.
When Li Xiaobai and his brothers heard this, their expressions immediately relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, shall we go and see that house?" Li Xiaobai suggested.
"Good! This should be. But little brother, this house is well located, large and not cheap. Do you really want to buy a house? You won't make fun of your sister, will you?" The sales lady asked.
Eb was a little anxious and shouted, "Beauty, don't doubt it. We're going to buy a house."
The sales lady met such a small child to buy a house for the first time, and it is inevitable that she is a little suspicious. Seeing that Ebu was anxious and the others were about to open their mouths and shout, they immediately walked to the front and led the way.
There are two main roads in Riedya City, namely North-South Avenue and East-West Avenue. Several people turned from the North-South Avenue to the east-west Haowu Road, and reached the end of the house to be sold.
With stone as the wall, the two are tall, and there is an iron gate at the door. The word "Caishunju" is written on the plaque, which is indeed a merchant's house.
Under the leadership of the sales lady, the ten brothers visited. There is a lawn behind the iron gate, with a large tree on the left and a stone table under the tree. There is a two-story building behind the lawn. There are ten houses on each floor. The space layout is very good, and the furniture inside is also exquisite and beautiful.
After reading it, Li Xiaobai said to the salesgirl, "Sister, I'm very satisfied with this house. How much do you want?"
Li Xiaobai had no idea about gold coins and asked directly when he bought a house for the first time.
As soon as the sales lady heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled. She smiled and said, "Little brother, you are very interesting. My sister will sell it to you at a good price. 3000 gold coins.
Yaze's nine people opened their eyes and wanted to eat the sales lady. The nine people had to care about a few copper coins. Suddenly, thousands of gold coins were about to be angry.
"Okay, sister, let's go through the formalities!" As long as Li Xiaobai's goal is achieved, nothing else will be counted.
The sales lady was surprised. She decided what the child came from and didn't say a word of bargaining.
Li Xiaobai let his brothers stay in the room, returned to the store alone to go through various procedures, and finally owned his own house.
