Chapter 32 First Transaction
In the abandoned hotel outside the Beifeng Mine, five ox-drawn covered wagons were parked beside the weed-covered dirt road.
Several fierce-looking men got off the car and moved boxes of goods into the stable in the backyard of the hotel. Then they dragged several sacks of money out of the haystack.
Next to the caravan, Jack was waiting anxiously. When he saw his men coming over, he immediately asked.
“How much did the other party pay?”
"Just finished counting... a total of 50,000 Austrian silver coins." The subordinate said with sweat on his forehead.
I don’t know if the necromancer has any quirks, but all he gave out were coins, and in bulk.
There are dozens of versions of silver coins issued by the Ottoman Empire, each with different sizes and silver content.
Not to mention copper coins, because of the large number of people using them, the Oss Empire had long ago transferred the right to mint Austrian copper to the local areas. As a result, not only the Oss Empire was minting, but also the Kingdom of Ryan and even Grand Duke Campbell were minting.
While counting the money, he actually found a 6th edition silver coin minted in the early First Era in the sack! This thing is almost an antique, right? !
Jack didn't care whether the money the other party gave him was banknotes or coins. In the end, he would either deposit it in the bank or exchange it for gold bars.
Hearing this number that was in line with his expectations, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his worries.
On the one hand, he was glad that the honorable necromancer really wanted to do business with him instead of simply blackmailing him.
On the other hand, he was also glad that he suppressed his fleeting greed and did not fool the adult about the quality of the equipment.
50,000 Aoyin is exactly 5% higher than the market price.
Obviously, this necromancer has some knowledge of the prices in Thunder City! After deducting the cost of purchasing and transportation, he can make a profit of about 25%, which is worth the risk he took.
If nothing else unexpected happens, he can continue this business for a long time!
Just as Jack was thinking this, he suddenly saw a man with a big sword on his back standing under the crooked tree in the distance.
Although the man was wearing a cloak and the brim of the hood almost covered his entire face, he could still tell that it was Bond.
At least half of them are.
After meeting his gaze, Bond turned and walked towards the mine.
Knowing that it was the necromancer who was summoning him, Jack smiled bitterly.
Although he was extremely reluctant, he still instructed his subordinates on what to do here and followed alone.
At the entrance to the mine, Bond stopped.
Without waiting for the Necromancer to speak, Jack bowed his head respectfully, like a truly devout believer.
"Mr. Luo Yan, what can I do for you?"
Just like last time, the mysterious necromancer still did not reveal his true face, but chose to speak through the mouths of zombies.
“Is that enough money?”
"That's enough, that's enough," Jack nodded repeatedly and continued, "When do you think you need the next batch of goods?"
"Three days later," Bond said in a hoarse voice, and suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, you are a bronze-level warrior?"
Jack was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the necromancer suddenly asked this, but he nodded anyway.
"Yes...what's wrong?"
Bond continued.
"Do you know martial arts?"
Jack nodded nervously.
"Yes, I know a few...but I only know the basics."
Since becoming the leader of the Viper Gang, he hasn't been out fighting for a long time, and the two tricks he knows were learned when he was an adventurer.
In the underground streets, supernatural powers have limited effect.
After all, people with real ability are either guests of honor of the lord, or join the Knights of Saint Sith, and they would never mix with these inferior guys.
Jack didn't know why the adult in front of him suddenly asked him this.
Just when he was wondering, he heard something that made him shudder.
"Cut me with a knife."
The moment he heard these words, Jack felt his legs go weak and the expression on his face was uglier than crying.
"Dear Necromancer... Have I offended you in some way?"
Bond stared at him and frowned.
"Offended? You think too much. I just want to see how you fight... Draw your sword and don't hesitate."
Seeing that the zombie in front of him had drawn his greatsword, Jack prayed bitterly to the Demon God silently in his heart, while suppressing the fear in his heart and pulling out the one-handed sword hanging at his waist.
Bond held the greatsword across his body and repeated the Demon Lord's orders in a hoarse voice.
"Very good, hit me with your strongest attack... Hurry up, if you don't make a move, I will make the first move."
"I move! I move!"
Jack hurriedly assumed an attacking stance, took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, mobilized all the extraordinary strength in his body, gathered it on the tip of the sword, and racked his brains to recall the fighting skills that he had almost forgotten.
On the other side, in the shadow of the mine.
Luo Yan held the video crystal ball in his right hand while recording the video and using the "Eye of True Vision" to observe the flow of "supernatural power" throughout Jack's body.
In this world, warriors are mainly divided into two categories.
One is the "Temple Sect", and the other is the "Dragon God Sect".
The former are mainly paladins, templars and inquisitors who are loyal to the temple. They mainly rely on the power bestowed by Saint Sith and fight under the illumination of holy light.
As for the latter, they use fighting techniques that are said to have been passed down from the mythological era, that is, the First Era, that is, imitating the dragon clan's control of the power called "Qi" to fight!
As for things like magic swordsmen, magic archers, and magic gunners, they are non-mainstream.
Before understanding the other side of the world, Luo Yan always regarded "qi" as a special energy existing in the human body.
However, after listening to Youyou's explanation, he gained a new understanding of this power that he had never mastered.
Whether it is "qi", elemental power, or other extraordinary power... they are essentially the same thing! It has no specific shape, and even cannot be observed under normal circumstances, but it does exist on this planet, and even in this universe! Not only does it exist.
It is also able to sense and respond to the spiritual energy emitted by "conscious individuals" and materialize it into observable "objects".
At first people just used it to make a fire, pray for a drop of nectar, or pick an apple from a tree.
Later, people desired more, so they gradually tried to gather everyone's "spiritual power" to create gods, and then use the hands of gods to restrain and concentrate the extraordinary power.
Instead of each person imagining different shapes of raindrops, it is better to gather everyone's strength to have a hearty rain.
After gathering everyone's strength, people gradually began to realize that this great power could do more than just make it rain or burn down a city.
As long as they want, they can, in the name of God, make the sun come down to the earth, make the moon never rise, make good people continue to be reincarnated into good families in the next life, make people become beasts, or gain immortal life.
Even more so, continuing the unfinished laws of the Creator! "Ahhhhhhh!"
Finally completing the charge, Jack took a step forward and swung the sword in his hand fiercely.
An invisible blade was released from the edge of the sword, slashing towards Bond with the momentum of cutting off everything.
Just as Luo Yan expected.
That was neither a shock wave from an explosion nor some kind of gas released after being compressed! Instead, it was an extraordinary power purely named "qi"!
In other words, it is a power system called "Dragon God Sect" created by the gods of the dragon clan!
Even with the buff applied by Luo Yan, Bond almost exhausted all his strength in order to take the blow, and a mark as thick as an index finger was left on the steel sword!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Luo Yan was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that this seemingly cowardly man in front of him actually had such strength?
What Luo Yan didn't know was that at this moment Jack was even more surprised, even shocked.
Although he is not a top master, he has been promoted to bronze level for many years.
In his impression, no player of the same level could withstand this "killing move"! Most people either jumped back to distance themselves and watched him chop on the floor, or did not give him the opportunity to use this move, or stabbed him several times to force him to give up accumulating strength.
Could it be...
The zombies summoned by this necromancer also have the strength of fine steel?! How terrifying is the strength of this necromancer?!
Jack felt his head buzzing.
He was a rough man with little education. He had only been around the underground streets of Thunder City. His knowledge of necromancy was limited to what he heard his fellow card players brag about.
"Not bad... just so-so."
Inserting the big sword in his hand into the ground, Luo Yan, who was controlling Bond, gave an expressionless comment and then continued.
"What's the name of this move?"
"We usually call it beheading." Jack, panting, glanced carefully at the big sword and said nervously, "Sorry... Can I compensate you with this one?"
Such a big steel sword is not cheap.
A quarter of the profit was lost directly. Jack felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he could only comfort himself that it was an investment made in favor of others.
In comparison.
It's even more terrifying to be bullied by the necromancer.
Luo Yan did not refuse. He manipulated Bond to nod silently and then continued.
"How do you use this move? Is there any formula or trick?"
Most of the Temple School's combat skills require shouting out the skills, just like chanting a spell.
However, I heard that the skills of the Dragon God Sect do not require chanting of spells, and only require the use of the Qi-control method taught to the tribe by the Dragon God.
Jack scratched the back of his head and thought for a moment before speaking.
"There's no secret formula... Anyway, my friend who taught me this move told me that I just need to accumulate energy on the blade and then chop it out with all my strength."
Luo Yan took out a palm-sized mirror from his pocket, glanced at Youyou, and saw that the latter had transformed into a thumb, so he put away the mirror and crystal ball in his hand.
Youyou's answer told him that these clues were enough.
At the same time, Bond, standing with a sword in hand, looked at Jack, nodded, and spoke.
"Very good, you can leave now."
Seeing that the necromancer finally let him go, Jack breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
Looking at Bond standing motionless at the entrance of the cave, he asked out of curiosity.
"Dear Mr. Luo Yan, may I ask... what do you intend to do with all this? Ah, please don't get me wrong, I don't mean to pry into your privacy, I just want to say that if you are interested in the adventurer's fighting method, I can bring you some related books and video crystals next time you come."
Luo Yan: “Experiment.”
As soon as he heard this word, Jack immediately closed his mouth and was too nervous to say another word.
experiment.
He didn't want to know what the necromancer's experiments were.
However, this adult showed great interest in his information.
"Remember to bring a copy of that information to me along with the next batch of goods."
After a pause, Luo Yan controlled Bond and continued.
"And that big sword."
"Understood! I will definitely keep it in mind!"
Jack nodded slightly, with a flattering smile on his face, and retreated respectfully.
"It is my honor to share your worries!"
On the other side, Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, who had just received the "playing companionship reward" from the Demon King, was standing in front of the counter of the only NPC store in the Demon King's territory, choosing items.
Currently, he and Hu Wan are the only two people who can afford to consume in this store.
Long Xing Wanli was watching from the side, with a look of envy in his eyes.
pity.
There are too few people in the server now, otherwise he would directly buy the ghost money at a 1:1 ratio.
There will always be a brave man when there is a big reward. He didn't believe that anyone could resist the temptation and not sell it to him.
Just when Yiye Zhiqiu was struggling over whether to change his next weapon to a steel spear or save up and wait for the development team to remember to put magic wands in the store, a line of dark green pop-up windows suddenly appeared in front of him.
【A.0.3 Update: Skill System! 】
Apparently, he wasn’t the only one to receive this pop-up.
At that moment——
The entire Demon Lord Territory was in an uproar! (End of this chapter)
