Chapter 664 Entering the City
Zhao Yue and others sat on the wolf and ran not far from the entrance of the village just now. They heard the sound of "dangdang" in the village. They thought it was an alarm bell.
Along the way, I passed many villages. The local residents on the roadside saw four wind wolves running over. Two of them had three dead wolves on their backs, and the other two were still with pirates. They were so scared that they turned around and ran away. The bolder local residents stood by the roadside and looked at Zhao Yue and three others.
After half an hour, the wind wolf hummed Zhao Yue and others to a big city not far away. Looking up, a tall wall appeared at the end of the road. The wall was ten feet high. The stone bricks of the city wall were densely covered with patterns. Zhao Yue felt a strong magic fluctuation. Zhao Yue exclaimed in his heart. This fucking It's too rich and generous. The city walls are defended by magic arrays. No wonder the gods and Samos can not be the ancestors of birds and cattle. After opening the magic array, it is estimated that the energy cannons on the warship may not be able to break the magic defense array.
On the wall, there is a cannon every 50 meters or so, with a long barrel with a magic array painted on it. Zhao Yue was shocked and said, "I wipe it, what kind of gun is this?"
Li Yang said, "Master, I know this. This kind of cannon is called magic cannon. It is very powerful. Even if the warship is moored in planetary synchronous orbit, it can be hit by it."
Zhao Yue thought for a time and asked, "Since they can build such a powerful gun, why can't they build a warship that can carry out interstellar flight?"
Li Yang shook his head and said, "This is not clear. Maybe they have never thought of interstellar navigation. Both the Tiananism and the Samoyed Sect bought several small spacecraft from us and then preached to other indigenous planets. I have read the records in this regard. There were smart pirates who wanted to open an interstellar shipping business. , build some spaceships for passenger voyages between these indigenous planets, but I don't know why the Tenjina and Samo religion are not allowed.
In a blink of an eye, he arrived not far from the gate. There were many people going in and out of the gate. Zhao Yue and three others jumped off the wolf's back, and then untied the three dead wolves from the wolf's back. Zhao Yue patted the wolf's head to indicate that they could leave.
The wolf looked at Zhao Yue, took the remaining three wolves to the woods next to him, ran to the edge of the woods and stopped again, and looked back at Zhao Yue and others again before getting into the woods.
Zhao Yue carried a wolf corpse in one hand and said to Li Yang, "You carry the rest of your back. After entering the city, we will sell the wolf!" Otherwise, we don't have the currency here, and eating and staying is a problem."
Li Yang said, "Master, you have to pay the city gate tax when you enter the city! We don't have any money on us."
"What? Do you still have to pay the city gate tax? Shit, why is it so dark? Then let's sell a wolf at the gate of the city, and we can go in if we have money."
Li Yang had to use his strength to carry the remaining wolf on his back. When he arrived at the gate of the city, he threw the dead wolf to the ground and kept gasping.
After Zhao Yue walked to the gate with two dead wolves, several soldiers with big knives came over and stopped him under the leadership of an obviously captain-level leader, and then muttered that he didn't know what to say. Anyway, Zhao Yue couldn't understand. He threw down the two wolf corpses and made a gesture to show that he couldn't understand what they said.
The leading captain looked at Zhao Yue, turned his head and said a few words to a soldier beside him. Then the soldier turned around and ran away. After a while, he came over with a language translator. The captain took the language translator and asked, "Alien, you can't do it at the gate. Don't you know that you have to pay city gate tax when you sell things and enter the city? I don't know what else you're doing here?"
I wipe it! So dragging? So tough on aliens? Zhao Yue slandered himself and quickly said, "This sage, it's our first time to come here, so we are not very familiar with the rules here. We regard a wolf as a city tax. Do you think this is okay?"
As soon as Zhao Yue finished his words, the captain showed joy on his face and immediately asked, "Do you really want to treat a wolf as a city gate tax?"
As soon as Zhao Yue looked at this guy's face, he guessed that he had lost a lot of money. He estimated that this side was worth a lot, but now they don't have local currency on them. They can only use a wolf as a city gate tax, otherwise they really can't get in.
Hearing Zhao Yue's affirmative answer, the captain waved his head to the soldiers around him with joy, signaling them to carry away a wolf left by Li Yang.
Then Zhao Yue asked, "Sir, I don't know where the market is here? Where can we buy these two wolves?
The captain got a great deal and was very happy. He called a soldier over and asked him to take Zhao Yue and others to the market.
The soldier took the language translator handed over by the captain and put it on and said, "Let's go. I'll take you there!"
Zhao Yue quickly carried two wolves and took Annie and Li Yang into the gate with the soldier. The weight of a wind wolf is not light, at least four or five hundred catties. Zhao Yue didn't feel anything in his hand, which shocked the soldiers leading the way. He asked, "Which planet are you from?" Isn't your appearance very different from the people here?
Zhao Yue said, "We are from the planet Yasai."
"Planet of Yasai? Oh, I see! I heard that your leader lives there, doesn't it?
Zhao Yue was surprised and said, "Do you, a soldier, also know these things?"
The soldier gave Zhao Yue a blank look: "Who doesn't know about this? Your great leader has signed a contract with our Pope, which we all know."
Zhao Yue was stunned. It's no wonder that people here are not afraid of these aliens. Everyone knows that the contract has been done.
After entering the city, the streets are very wide, the streets are full of traffic, and the voices are boiling. It's so lively! All kinds of hawking are endless. Some pedestrians on the street wear linen clothes, and some wear very high-grade fur coats. Most people wear fur clothes. Only the poor people wear linen clothes, but they do not wear high-end cloth clothes.
Zhao Yue asked, "Don't you sell things here?" I think all these hawkers on the roadside can sell it.
The soldier looked at Zhao Yue and said, "Are you a fool? Can you sell it at a good price here? Only when you go to a special prey market can you sell at a high price. If you want to sell here, you can also do it. I have a lot less to go!"
Zhao Yue felt like a local steamed bun and hurriedly said, "Don't, don't, please take us!"
After walking for a few minutes, a big fat man came face to face with a few men. Seeing Zhao Yue holding two wind wolves in his hand, he took out a language translator from his waist and put it on and shouted, "Hey, alien, how do you sell these two wind wolves? I don't think you should mention the prey market. Just sell it to me directly. How about you make a price?
Zhao Yue motioned Annie and Li Yang to wait. He left his prey and pulled the soldier aside and asked, "Brother, how much can my two wolves sell in the market? Tell me the truth. When I sell the money, I can't do without your benefits. How about that?
The soldier heard that it was good and quickly whispered, "It depends on how you bargain. You can sell at least 200 gold coins and about 240 gold coins at most."
Zhao Yue nodded and patted him on the shoulder to show that he knew. Then he turned around and walked back and said, "Brother, if you really want to buy it, I won't tell you that I'm tall. You give me 300 gold coins, and you can ask someone to carry these two wolves away!"
The fat man shouted exaggeratedly, "What? Three hundred gold coins? Why don't you rob it? A wolf has 90 gold coins, a total of 180 gold coins, which are all at this price now.
Zhao Yue shook his head and said, "One hundred and eighty gold coins? The whole body was beaten to pieces and could only sell 180 gold coins. Look at my two wolves. Their fatal wounds are all on the forehead, and the wound is only the size of a little thumb. This is a good wolf's skin! Like this kind of adult wolf, its magic crystal is top-class, and the wolf's kidney is a good thing. I don't know whether you eat wolf kidney here, which is a great tonic. If you make the wolf kidney into food according to my cooking method, I promise you seven-night after eating it!"
After listening to Zhao Yue's words, the big fat man's two small eyes bulged and rushed to Zhao Yue and asked, "Are you telling the truth?" If you cook it according to your cooking method, can you really do it overnight after eating it?
Zhao Yue nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, I never tell lies!"
The fat man patted his thigh and shouted, "Three hundred gold coins are three hundred gold coins, but you have to tell me how to cook!"
Zhao Yue smiled in his heart and shook his head and said, "Brother, 300 gold coins can only sell the wolf to you. If you want to know the cooking method, you must pay an extra 800 gold coins!"
The big fat man shook his big head like a rattle: "No, no, you're too dark! It's just a cooking method. Do you want me to pay so much money? I'll give you a total of 400 gold coins at most. Do you think it's okay?
Zhao Yue said, "Big boss, this is my unique secret recipe! I'm the only one in the world who knows. If you sell it, only you and I know it, and I no longer sell the secret recipe to others, so you are the only one who knows this secret recipe except me. Seven times a night, wolf boss! If other male surnames know that you have this ability, won't you be envious to death? Your son is more happy than the emperor. Besides, you are a rich man. Do you still care about these hundreds of gold coins for seven wolves a night?
When the big fat man listened to Zhao Yue's words, his eyes stared at the boss, and his breath was obviously short of breath. He was excited. He was so excited! He blushed and said, "Okay! One thousand and one hundred gold coins, just a thousand gold coins after removing the ends, I'll give it to you right away!" With that, he stretched out his hand, and an attendant took out a money bag from his pocket and put it in his hand.
