Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 62 Xia Ruins 2
Seems to be a bit of a loss.But he had already paid, and Zhang Cheng couldn't make a return.He and Jia turned to leave.

"Go buy some food." Since he came to shop, Zhang Cheng also wanted to fill in what he should have.Just because you don't need to prepare for a long journey in the game doesn't mean you don't need it in reality.He needs to carry food, drinks, and various other odds and ends.Of course, after having the dimensional bag, this matter does not know how much easier it is.

"Master, where are you going this time?" Jia immediately sensed what Zhang Cheng meant.

"Xia Ruins." Zhang Cheng said.He can now believe that the so-called Xia Ruins is the second act of the free city.

As a game master, Zhang Cheng knows that in the first act of the game, the main line of the "refugee camp" is actually just for players to take up jobs, and the difficulty is very low.The second act of the game, that is, the real difficulty begins.

The strongest BOSS in the first act is the lich, a spellcaster of at least level [-].But in fact, this is an optional quest, which means that you can skip the quest, and even if you do, you can compromise with the Lich and avoid fighting.What really can be called the main storyline is actually only those inaugural tasks that cannot be skipped.In fact, even dealing with those lizardmen—as mentioned earlier, according to the game plot, there are only miscellaneous soldiers on the side of the lizardmen, no BOSS—you can choose to skip it.

But the second act is completely different.The strongest BOSS is waiting for him in the main storyline.Moreover, this is not something you can fool around with your lips. If the two sides meet each other, you have to see a real chapter under your hand. There is no room for compromise. Either you die or I live.

"You two, please stay!" The voice of the scar-faced travel merchant suddenly sounded behind him.

Zhang Cheng stopped.

"I didn't intend to eavesdrop, but just heard you say that you are going to Xia Ruins?" The travel merchant came over with a smile.With laughter, the scar face that looked dangerous before was not so scary anymore.

"Yes." Zhang Cheng admitted. "Do you have any advice?"

"It just so happens that I am also going to Xia Ruins." The travel merchant said. "If possible, I hope to lead the way for the two of you."

Zhang Cheng knows that according to the earth, this place is the ancient era, that is to say, it has not yet reached the era of "wisdom comes out, there is a big fake".Conspiracy stuff, especially scams of all kinds, aren't that popular these days.But such a stranger is so close, no matter how you look at it, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Lead the way?" Zhang Cheng felt suspicious, but Jia obviously didn't think so much. "Have you been there before?"

"I've been there many times."

"Xia Rui... what kind of place is it?"

"The royal capital of the former Xia Dynasty, although abandoned for a long time, is still quite large," said the traveling merchant. "It is said that after the Xia family moved the capital, there were originally only some savages living there, and some barbarians, but no one cared. But then the number of people gradually increased. For some reason, a few witches came here decades ago. I live there. So there are more and more people. Although it is a waste city, but," he stretched out his hand and compared his feet. "It's much bigger than this Kunwu City."

"Abandoned city...why are there so many people? Where is the monarch of that place?"

Based on Zhang Cheng's understanding of the world, he knows that this "world" actually has a master.Take Dr. Kunwu's territory as an example, although before the discovery of minerals, the swamp was a no-man's land and had no value to the lord.But the swamp does belong to Doctor Kunwu in name.So it is natural to understand that if the Xia Ruins were a place where birds don't shit, then the lord really wouldn't bother to look at it.But if there are a lot of residents in it and there are conditions to collect taxes, it is hard to imagine that the lord will turn a blind eye.

Even if the lord was a selfless philanthropist with absolutely no interest in taxation (which of course is completely impossible), he could not allow so many forces out of his control, which could be threatening.Just like the Huaiyi in the swamp, although they did nothing, Dr. Kunwu still regarded them as a potential threat, and it was only a matter of time before they started.

"That place..." said the traveler. "It is reasonable to say that it belongs to the country of Song, but there is a great witch, and the people of Song do not dare to intervene."

"Great witch..." Zhang Cheng was a little confused.The witch is the priest in the game, but there is no such profession or NPC named "Grand Priest" in the game.On the Mage's side, there is a "Lizardman Archmage".But it's not so much a profession as it's a title.Because this is the only one without a semicolon.

"If that's the case, why are you leading the way for us?" Jia took the initiative to speak. "Don't you think we can't find it?"

"That's not what it means," the travel merchant explained patiently. "If I lead the way, a few gentlemen can definitely save a lot of time."

However, these explanations did not let Jia relax his vigilance, "So, what do you want for us to lead the way?"

The traveller smiled.He said that his purpose is very simple: to get a place in Kunwu City, which is the refugee camp.He doesn't want to do business with a car like this anymore, but wants to have a shop stall where he can display his goods.According to him, he found that there are some things that are lacking in Kunwu City, which happen to be there in Xia Ruins, and there are some things that are lacking in Xia Ruins, but they are more common in Kunwu City.In this way, going back and forth between the two has become a very profitable business.

Just by observing words and expressions, he already believed that Zhang Cheng could speak something here.And it's a small thing, if not a thing.Because this is not difficult, as long as someone comes forward to guarantee and introduce, he can get a small booth.Of course, this leading thing is also cost-free. Anyway, he has to do business back and forth, and he can do it on the way.

It is said that people actually want to make money safely, so it is not surprising that he has such an idea.

As an earthling, especially an earthling who has been scoured by the information age, Zhang Cheng will naturally wonder if this is a trap. For example, will the other party lead him into a trap in the name of leading the way? .After all, even in the barbaric era, there was still no shortage of bandits and robbers.Actually maybe more.

He whispered to Jia who was beside him. As an aboriginal, Jia knew more about this aspect.He explained that judging from the items sold by the other party, the other party should be a pure businessman, not a "bandit".To put it simply, his initiative to lead the way is not so much in exchange for a local booth, but for a few more free bodyguards on the road.

Although the travel merchants do make money, to be honest, Jia Ke is not envious at all.Because this business is really too risky, and who knows what you'll encounter in the wild.And scholars, in this era, are almost synonymous with being able to fight.

In other words... If you choose him to lead the way, can you save some time?

Although Dr. Kunwu did not give a clear timetable, the sooner the better.After all, if you arrive at Xia Ruins early, you will have time to make arrangements and prepare to intercept the teleportation from Quanrong.

There are still a lot of details that are hard to fathom, especially the difference between the game timeline and the real timeline... but there's nothing wrong with arriving at the Xia Ruins early.

"What's your name?" Zhang Cheng asked.

The traveler was overjoyed, knowing that it had already happened. "My name is Ann," he added after a pause. "Xia Shi."

"Xia An? Xia? Are you..."

This world is the same as in ancient China, the surnames and surnames are quite special and are proof of bloodline.Especially the clan, ordinary people are famous, but there is no clan.Even if many people say that they have a surname in private (for example, Jia), it is also secretly saying that when facing a real noble in public, it will be unlucky to talk nonsense.

Xia An introduced himself like this, which means that he is a nobleman, and his ancestors used to be a branch of the Xia family.This, in theory, seems like a pretty remarkable identity.

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but glanced at Jia.He knew before that Jia was very concerned about this aspect - but on the surface, Xia An's self-introduction had little effect.Jia's face didn't change. If there was any change, it would be that the contempt at the corners of his mouth increased by three points.

"Sir," Jia noticed Zhang Cheng's expression and said secretly, "don't believe him, it's all a lie. The Xia family died early, the remnants of the family are scattered, and there is no root to investigate. Therefore, there are too many people claiming to be descendants of the Xia family. So everyone doesn't believe it. The son doesn't have to be serious."

It turned out to be the case.

Xia An seemed very enthusiastic.Introduce Zhang Cheng to the various preparations necessary to go to Xia Ruins, such as the temperature - the Xia Ruins side is slightly warmer than the Kunwu City side, so the same clothes are enough.However, there is a forest over the Xia Ruins, and there are many parasites.Even in winter, there are flying insects, so prepare the corresponding ointment and spices.Of course, in this regard, he vigorously introduced a deworming drug on his side.This drug is rare, it is made by the dog Rong.Because the whole body is covered with hair, parasites have always been one of the big problems of the dog.It is this ointment that the nobles of the Quan Rong rely on to drive off parasites from their bodies.

Although Xia An tried his best to sell it, he actually achieved very little.After all, Zhang Cheng is from the earth.The sales level of the other party may be first-class in this world, and in the earth of the information age, it is not even a passing line.

However, although the merchandising failed, the plans of the two parties were quickly settled.Because it is already late today, we are expected to leave early tomorrow.As for the shop issue, this isn't even a problem.There are many fewer people in the refugee camp, and there are many vacant shops.Zhang Cheng just let Jia handle this matter.Anyway, most of the people in Kunwu City knew Jia and knew his current situation very well.So everyone knows that Jia actually represents Zhang Cheng.

Soon, Zhang Cheng returned to the room that Dr. Kunwu gave him.Now Zhang Cheng has his own fief, but there is still a place for him in the castle.

Zhang Cheng cared about another thing.

According to the information Wu Lan told him before, he estimated that it was time to return to Earth.

For the traversers, their biggest disadvantage compared to the natives is this kind of "sleep".The back and forth between the two worlds seems to be achieved through sleep, which means that on the surface you are asleep, but in fact your soul is no longer in this world.This means that if something unexpected happens at night, you cannot be woken up.

It's hard to say what will happen if your body dies after you pass through... Obviously, if this is a loophole, the passers-by would have noticed it long ago.But since no one has exploited this vulnerability, there is obviously another answer to the question.

That's why they are said to be cannon fodder for plane wars.Cannon fodder, no matter how many people die, no one will be distressed.

Dr. Kunwu is no longer in the city and does not know where to go.As in the past, Huang Gong was responsible for staying in Kunwu City.At dusk, Duke Huang brought a precious treasure.

It was an item called Xuan Gui.If you want to describe it, this is a black stone, sculpted into a long strip, with the upper tip and the lower side, and the edge is smooth.But this black is different from the black of coal.The blackness of a piece of briquettes can only be described as pitch-black, but at most it is just black and shiny, but Xuangui's blackness has a supernatural feeling, and this blackness seems to have some kind of vitality.If you look closely, you will find that the black color seems to leave Xuan Gui's body from time to time, dyeing the surrounding air.When you hold it in your hand, you can feel a slight warmth.

Even people who don't understand it at all can see that this thing is definitely not ordinary.

Huang Gong showed the use of Xuan Gui.Right in front of Zhang Cheng, he chanted a few incantations softly, and a colorful cloud of smoke appeared above Xuan Gui, and then an image condensed.

Taking a peek, I could sense the shock on Zhang Cheng's face at the moment.Apparently it was the first time he had seen such a treasure.

X's, this is... a video call?Zhang Cheng really had nothing else to describe, because what he saw was the face of Dr. Kunwu.

On Earth, video telephony is hardly news these days.Even things like video conferencing are common, but what is this place?It's wild times!Is there a video call here?
Huang Gong saluted at the image of Dr. Kunwu, apologized for the interruption, and explained that he was only demonstrating to Zhang Cheng this time, and there was no other reason.Doctor Kunwu said that it was nothing, and at the same time encouraged Zhang Cheng to tell him that he could be contacted at any time through Xuan Gui.Not only that, Dr. Kunwu also asked Huang Gong to provide all necessary help for Zhang Cheng's long journey.

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but take the opportunity to ask what happened to Xuan Gui.

Doctor Kunwu told Zhang Cheng proudly that this Xuangui is a treasure of ancient times and one of the rare treasures passed down by the Kunwu family.Although the Kunwu clan suffered a great disaster before the country was destroyed, the ancestors of the past dynasties still worked hard to preserve this treasure.This thing can make video calls regardless of space constraints.More than that, such calls are not disturbed by ordinary means.When other methods cannot communicate, this thing can still take effect as usual.

Of course, as the treasure of the Kunwu clan, this thing is "bound" to the elders of the Kunwu clan of all dynasties.In other words, you can only contact Dr. Kunwu with this item.As for why I can only contact Dr. Kunwu and not others, there is obviously some mystery, but neither Dr. Kunwu nor Duke Huang seem to want to explain this mystery to Zhang Cheng.

It should be noted that, although the statements of Dr. Kunwu and Duke Huang are not exaggerated.Because Huang Gong left later, Xiaoxiong was also envious of this treasure.

Xiao Xiong clearly pointed out that this thing is very, very rare, so even if it is its body, I have only heard of Xuan Gui, but I have never had the opportunity to see it with my own eyes.According to Xiaoxiong, such treasures are really unusual in the hands of Dr. Kunwu.Not to mention the princes, even the emperor would covet such treasures.The fact that Dr. Kunwu took it out and lent it to Zhang Cheng this time was a testament to his extreme trust.

The only pity is that Dr. Kunwu only "lent" it to Zhang Chengyong this time, instead of giving it to Zhang Cheng.However, Zhang Cheng was relieved very quickly. Then again, such a rare thing, it would be incredible to say that it was rewarded to Zhang Cheng.And maybe in the eyes of others, the effect of this thing is too powerful, but in Zhang Cheng's eyes, although this thing is surprising, it is the same.But it's just a magic version of the smartphone, the type that can't dial and can only connect directly to a single target.

When the night shrouded the earth, Zhang Cheng finally got what he was waiting for.That indescribable drowsiness suddenly crept into his heart.Although he was well prepared, what happened was still a bit of a surprise.So that the only thing he could do was to stumble to the side of the bed and lay down, and then his consciousness immediately passed out.
