dark blood

When the meeting about asking Tiancheng was about to end, a consul came to the political hall and said a word in Du Tao's ear.

Du Tao stood up and said, "Captain Yun Yun is back."

Xiao Yu hadn't seen Yun Yun for a long time, and felt a little strange for a long time, so he couldn't help asking: "I haven't seen Yun Yun for a whole day since I came back, where did she go?"

Du Tao replied: "I asked Yunyun to go to Demon Wolf City to complete a deal. Demon Wolf City came to Chaos Continent only recently. It is less than four thousand miles away from us. There is a green magic crystal miner in the city." The second-level secret realm in the field produces higher-quality green magic crystal stones than the first-level secret realm, each of which can replenish 20.00 points of energy for the epic tower. After I negotiated the price with the owner of the magic wolf city, I will buy one hundred from them at a time. In the next six months, the monthly purchase volume will increase by [-]%[-], and the purchase price will increase by [-]% every month."

The Epic Tower currently has more than [-] remaining energy points, and it is already very tense to use.

These [-] magic crystals (green) can replenish [-] points of energy, which is enough to build one or two hundred arrow towers, raise seven or eight hundred more first-level magic breeding animals or a large number of magic plants, but barely replenish the energy of Tiancheng Insufficient on.

A few minutes later, Yunyun came to the council hall. Her slender body was wrapped in light armor, her feet were wearing a pair of green-grade leather boots, and she was holding a green-grade longbow. , The momentum and eyes are sharp and sharp.Yunyun's overall quality is very high, she is good at scouting, searching, and long-range strikes. She is usually strict, capable and serious in her work, and her fighting style is also very characteristic. She is good at lurking and hiding. With her life and being the vice-captain of the Eagles, the people of Wentian City secretly nicknamed her "Goshawk".

"I'm sorry, I didn't complete the deal..." Yunyun said as soon as she entered the door, her eyes widened suddenly, and she was surprised to find that the person sitting in the first seat of the council hall was not Han Kexin, but another person, wearing a thick black armor, Wearing a scary helmet to cover his face, there was only a T-shaped gap, revealing a pair of red eyes to indicate the identity of this person, he couldn't help shouting in surprise: "Xiao... City Lord, you are finally back!"

Xiao Yu nodded lightly. He had always had a high opinion of Yun Yun, because in her previous life, she was a famous figure after all, but she fell prematurely.

Du Tao asked, "What? The transaction was not completed? What happened?"

Yunyun said: "The owner of Demon Wolf City suddenly regretted it, thinking that the price we gave was too low."

Zhao Changping said angrily, "How could he go back on his word?"

Du Tao also frowned, and asked after a while: "One hundred green magic crystals cost fifty high-level soul gems, which is equivalent to the price of five intermediate soul gems per green magic crystal. This price is already very fair. So what price does he want?"

Yunyun smiled wryly and said, "The Lord of Demon Wolf City said... the price will be doubled!"

"Fart!" Wang Chao slapped the table and got up angrily, "Fuck, this old bastard must have seen Wen Tiancheng's situation and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail us! That bastard Cao Fengyun is fine with us. With some strength, and the distance is far enough, we can't fight, this grandson of Demon Wolf City is really not afraid of death! Boss, order, I will bring a large team to destroy them!"

Zhao Changping also had the same thoughts and couldn't help asking: "City Master, you said that the castles can compete with each other. This Magic Wolf City is not strong. Why don't we take the opportunity to take it down?"

"It is certainly possible to capture the Demon Wolf City, but we still lack one thing to launch such a war."

"what?"

Xiao Yu replied: "It's the 'occupation token'. We can take down the Demon Wolf City even if we kill the Demon Wolf City now, and we can even occupy the Demon Wolf City. , All will disappear, and other buildings in the city, including plantations and breeding farms, will also collapse due to lack of energy to maintain them, and nothing will be left. You can only get an empty city without even a basic secret realm."

A city that doesn't even have a basic secret realm can't develop at all, and will instead become a burden to Wentian City.

Xiao Yu continued: "In fact, it is very simple to launch a war between cities. If the distance between the two cities is too far, you can use the 'Siege Token' to attack the city. The so-called 'Siege Token' is actually a magic circle. After the epic tower is activated, by consuming the energy of the epic tower, the opponent's epic tower will be locked, and then the epic towers in the two cities will automatically establish a connection, closing the teleportation function of the epic towers of both sides, and will form in front of the city. A fixed huge space gate. The two sides break through the space limitation and directly attack each other's city through the space gate. In other words, no matter how far the city is, once the "siege token" is activated, it is close at hand. Of course, maintaining the space gate The energy is paid by the attacker. The longer the time, the more energy will be consumed, and the distance will also affect it. Therefore, when launching a siege, the attacker often needs to store enough energy in the epic tower in advance, because the consumption of war is extremely huge .”

Wang Chao was a little upset, "Then let's forget it?"

Han Kexin said: "Demon Wolf City is close enough that it can be attacked without a 'Siege Token', but it's just an empty city, and no one would want to fight a meaningless war."

Du Tao was silent for a moment and said, "I think there is a possibility that Magic Wolf City suddenly changed its attitude. Maybe someone made the city lord of Magic Wolf City change his mind, because I accidentally discovered yesterday that Fengyun City has established a relationship with Magic Wolf City. transmission."

"You mean, this is a good thing for that surnamed Cao Gan?"

Du Tao nodded and said: "I have investigated the details of this Cao Fengyun. He used to be the boss of a well-known large company. He started from scratch in the countryside. In just 15 years, he became a top domestic entrepreneur with assets worth tens of billions. Cao Fengyun They are very business-minded. Fengyun City has strong financial resources and convenient transactions. They specialize in purchasing special products in various cities, and resell them to cities that need them at higher prices. For example, if you ask about the arrow towers in Tiancheng, we sell the most in Fengyun City. Five middle-level soul gems, but if they are sold through Fengyun City, they can be sold for one high-level soul gem, and the profit is quite high. This time, he spent a lot of money to buy the magic crystal one step ahead of us, and he can suppress it by the way. Ask Tiancheng, why not do it?"

"That's right, the profiteers who suffered thousands of dollars must have been stimulated by the 'Wentian Auction'. Recently established an organization called 'Fengyun Merchant Alliance', which also set up auctions. The frequency of opening is high, but the quality is not so good. The scale The influence and influence are far inferior to our auctions, but the "Fengyun Merchant Alliance" does not rely on this. It mainly conducts business between cities, purchases materials, and buys and sells them. It is quite famous among humans. They have teleportation, It's so convenient."

Fengyun City, Cao Fengyun, and Fengyun Business Alliance.

In the previous life, it was a thunderous term.Cao Fengyun is a legendary figure in Chaos Continent, his strength is worse than the top group of powerhouses, and his personal influence can be ranked in the top three in the entire continent, much higher than Han Kexin and Zhao Changping. The unrivaled hero on one side.

Xiao Yu said: "Leave them alone, since we lack magic crystals, we will go to Fengyun City to buy them. Fengyun City is certainly rich, but we are not poor. Du Tao, I will give you five hundred high-level soul gems in advance, and you can go to Fengyun Business Alliance Give me a big purchase."

Du Tao thought there was something wrong with his ears, "Five hundred?"

Xiao Yu thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Five hundred seems not enough, let's take eight or nine hundred first, and you will go to each city."

"This figure takes almost one-third of Wen Tiancheng. Even if you need to purchase a large number of magic crystals, you don't need to spend that much. Cao Fengyun now controls most of the market. With his shrewdness, he will inevitably increase the price after discovering the problem. Ask The population of Tiancheng is increasing day by day, and the soul gems subsidized to everyone every day are also a big expense, and it is really not appropriate to spend too much."

Xiao Yu said calmly: "This is just an investment, and it won't take long to get a huge return. I will make a list of the things you need to buy for you to collect. The more the quantity, the better."

Xiao Yu took out a piece of paper and wrote down a large list of names. In addition to the magic crystals that Wen Tiancheng lacked most at present, there were also a large number of other items. , in particular, there are several designated materials to locate key acquisition targets.

"That's all for now."

Du Tao thought it was very strange, but he nodded without further questioning and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away."

Xiao Yu stood up and said to everyone: "There is nothing else, the meeting is over."

Everyone left.

Xiao Yu shouted: "Yunyun, wait a moment."

Yun Yun didn't know why Xiao Yu called her to stop alone, and stopped walking and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Oh, it's nothing important." Xiao Yu stretched out his hand, the light in his palm flickered, and a long light blue longbow appeared in his hand, "One of my gains during this trip, the 'Wind War Bow' is not bad in terms of power. .Only you are the most suitable to use among us, use it."

Yunyun was very surprised. She took the wind battle exploits from Xiao Yu. The long bow is as light as a feather. Both ends of the bow have sharp blades, which can be used in close combat. The attributes of the bow are also very good. A rare and superb bow.

"This bow is really suitable for you. You can just hold it and use it. There is no need to pay extra."

Yunyun was very grateful and said, "Thank you."

Xiao Yu walked over and patted Yunyun on the shoulder lightly and said, "Actually, I know your ability is not inferior to that of Jin Shi and Wang Chao, and I really feel wronged by making you a deputy captain."

Yun Yun quickly said: "No, I'm not wronged at all... I'm satisfied."

"is it?"

Yunyun and Shuang looked at each other with eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, her heart beat violently a few times, feeling that all the thoughts in her heart had been seen through, she hurriedly shifted her gaze, and she, who was always calm, felt a little at a loss.

"Yunyun, your character is very good and strong, and you are not willing to fall into the ranks, which means you have a strong heart. I believe that you will become a great strong man in the near future, and your achievements will not be surpassed by Wang Chao, Jin Shi, and Xiaowen. But on the road to the strong, I hope you can put yourself in the right position and don't let the pursuit of power and rights distort yourself."

Xiao Yu's tone was very calm, but it made Yunyun feel oppressed.

"I understand your idea."

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "That's good, go."

Yunyun glanced at Xiao Yu with a complicated expression, then turned and left.
