Godsend Field

Chapter 97
Early the next morning, Tianci and Lier handed over a gold coin and entered Yanhua City again. This time without a guide, they could only rely on their own memory to go to the iron market.Seeing yesterday's customers visiting again today, the dwarves were much more enthusiastic.

"I still have two hundred sets today, and here are the purple gold coins!" Tianci put down the purple gold coins and said straight to the point.

The shopkeeper of the dwarf weighed the purple gold coins, and invited Tianci into the warehouse to choose the weapons and armor that closed his eyes.

"This... is a middle-grade weapon?" Tianci was suddenly attracted by a long sword placed in front of him. !"

"Haha, good eyesight, I didn't expect you to be an expert in weapons!" The dwarf clapped his hands and praised, "This is what my master put here after you left yesterday. I can tell you that my master is an Oliver craftsman. It is very famous in the whole Northwest."

"Craftsman Oliver, I wonder if I can meet him?" Tianci said sincerely.

"Meet my master... Do you need to forge middle-grade weapons? Unfortunately, master put down his weapon and left yesterday. He went to look for ore deposits. Master's ability to find ore is quite powerful in the entire dwarf clan. Usually he is an old man. It will take more than half a month at the earliest to search for mines, and it may take four to five years if it is slower, no one can say for sure!" The dwarf said regretfully.

"Looking for mineral deposits? Do we have mineral deposits in the northwest? Doesn't it mean that the northwest province is short of resources?" Tianci asked in surprise.Godsend knew that dwarves were born with the talent to find mineral deposits, but Godsend was more interested in the dwarves' search for mineral deposits in the Northwest Province.

The dwarf raised his eyebrows, "Who said that? My master said that although there are not many mines in the northwest, they are all high-quality mines, especially rare ores. Master has found seven times so far."

"Since the mineral deposits in Northwest China are so good, why not vigorously develop them?"

"Isn't it because of you humans, you forget righteousness for profit! My master cooperated with humans for the first time, and the mineral deposits he found were shamelessly occupied by you humans!" the dwarf said angrily.

Through the study of continental topography in the comprehensive college, Tianci knows that rare metal mines do not gather in large quantities like common metals or precious metals. Rare metals are bred by the aura of heaven and earth all year round, and are generally in more dangerous places, or buried relatively It is deep, so it is difficult to find, and even if it is found, a rare metal mine can only contain more than ten kilograms of rare metals at most, which is enough to make a broadsword.Therefore, on the mainland, the price of rare metals is very expensive.Last time in Yaster City, the small piece of fireworks that Master Finchlan showed to everyone required Duke Kate to spend three thousand purple gold coins to buy it.

Tianci respectfully put the middle-grade weapons back to their original positions, and then began to choose his favorite weapons and armor.The craftsmanship of the dwarves is very good, especially the quality requirements are very high. If the piece is not made well, or if it looks uncomfortable, the dwarves will go back to the furnace. Much better than humans.Tianci bought another [-] sets to fill up the space rings.

Walking out of the blacksmith shop, Tianci and Li'er walked casually with Yu'er.The streets of Yanhua City divided the city into regular squares or rectangles.

The customs and folk customs of the northwest are also very different from those of the capital. The people of the northwest are hospitable and hospitable. Although they are not rich, they still warmly welcome friends from afar.The people in the Northwest are generous and generous, and they will not chatter about a few copper coins like other places.

Tianci and Li'er walked aimlessly and found some interesting food from time to time, while Yu'er was more concerned about the food there. . .After noon, Tianci and Li'er walked to a noodle stall opened by a couple. There was a stove on the table, tumbling noodle soup, and a few dilapidated tables and chairs beside them.

"It smells so good!" Lier exclaimed softly.

Tianci smiled slightly, and pulled Li'er to the table and chair to sit down, "Boss, here are two bowls of noodles, and a big bowl of meat!"

"Two bowls of noodles and a big bowl of meat, come~~" The boss yelled and began to pull the noodles.

"Boss, what seasoning did you put on your noodles, why does it smell so good?" Tianci asked.

"This is our special seasoning in Northwest China, cumin. If you use this to roast the meat, it will be fragrant. Even if it is used to make soup, it will have a special flavor." The boss said proudly.

He ate a full meal, especially Yu'er, who had a lot of aftertaste.

"A total of four silver coins!"

Tianci handed over a gold coin, "You don't need to look for the rest, just pack some cumin for me!"

The boss was overjoyed, and really packed a big bag for Tianci, and Tianci reluctantly stuffed it into the space ring.

"Boom! Boom!..."

Bursts of dull bells resounded throughout Yanhua City.

"Boss, what is this bell?" Tianci asked.

"The snow bell of the Ice and Snow God Sect will ring at the beginning, middle, and end of every month. All believers will go to the God Sect Square to worship the Ice and Snow Goddess when they hear the bell. Pray and bless!" the boss explained.

"Are you going?" Lily asked softly.

"What are we going to do, we little people, if you want to protect us, you won't be able to protect us, let alone we don't have extra gold coins to contribute our sincerity."

Farewell to the boss Tianci and Lier walked along the bell, and soon came to a square.Countless people had already gathered in the square, bowing their heads devoutly and praying with their hands folded on their chests.A gorgeous building stands in front of the square, in stark contrast to the simple houses around. This should be the church of the Ice and Snow God Sect in Yanhua City.In front of the church, a 25-year-old woman in a white robe stood in the middle, with more than 40 young girls standing on each side.

The woman in the middle sang loudly, and the girl next to her echoed.The singing is melodious and pleasant, making people feel like being washed, and they feel extremely relaxed all over.

At the end of the song, the woman bowed deeply to Tianlei Mountain in the north, then turned and walked into the church.Only then did the believers in the square wake up suddenly, shouting for the Goddess of Ice and Snow, and they lined up in a neat line to pass by the door of the Ice and Snow Church, throwing the gold coins and purple gold coins in their hands into a wooden box in front of the church, chanting Pray in your heart.

"Hehe, their method of earning gold coins is much better than mine," Tianci said with a smile.

"Brother Tianci, this is the church. They are protected by the gods. If you say this, you are disrespecting the gods and will be punished by the gods!" Lier said worriedly beside her.

"Hehe! Anyway, I don't believe in the church, so what are you afraid of?" Tianci turned to look at Lier, "Do you believe in the church?"

"I don't have it yet, but most of the humans on the mainland believe in the Illumination Cult. I think I might do it in the future!" Lier murmured with her head lowered.

"Then does your grandfather believe it too?"

"My grandfather believed in Guangming religion, but my godfather didn't believe in it. Godfather once said that religious belief is only the sustenance of the weak, and the strong are dismissive. For the real strong, you are the most reliable Yes, they only believe in elements, in battle qi, in themselves and not in illusory gods."

"Then you still plan to believe in the Guangming religion?" Tianci laughed.

"I...I'm a woman..." Lier lowered her head and secretly looked at Tianci.For a woman, what she loves is her god.

"But you have the moon core, you can definitely become a strong man!" Tianci took Li'er's little hand, as soft as boneless.

Feeling the warmth from the palm of my hand, "Power is not everything to me! If I had to choose power and... I would give up power!"

After lingering in Yanhua City for four or five days, Tianci and Li'er wandered around the streets and shops of all sizes.The materials in the northwest are far less than those in the capital, and the northeast and other places are rich, but most of the commodities are still available.Li'er picked out some fine silk clothes, while Yu'er was full of food. Only Tianci worked the hardest. The interspatial ring was filled with weapons and armor and there was no room for it, so no matter what Lier bought, Tianci had to carry it on his back. . .

"Li'er, let's go back... I think Gru and the others must be in urgent need of these weapons..."

"Pfft!"

Looking at Tianci, who was covered in backpacks of all sizes, Lier couldn't help laughing, "Brother Tianci, you are far behind Uncle Anrui. I dare not complain to Aunt Zhen, I just bought it now..." Suddenly Lier realized something, her little face turned red, and she was embarrassed to continue.

"Ah!" An Rui, who was far away in Ancona, sneezed violently.

"Forgive you, let's go back to the village!" Li'er said with a smile, and it was as if Godsend had been granted amnesty.

In the hotel outside the city, the room given by Tianci has not been returned, and the horses are also stored in the hotel.When Tianci walked out of the city gate and came to the hotel, the two guards had already returned to the hotel to wait for Tianci.Seeing the lord's arrival, the personal guard hurried up to help Tianci carry backpacks of all sizes.

"Is it all shipped back?" Tianci asked.

"Everything went well, we arrived the next morning. Commander Gelu has all the equipment and is training now!" the personal guard replied.

"That's good, put everything on the horse's back, and we'll set off right away!"

"Yes!"

Speeding up the horse, but still not arriving before dark, Tianci and others simply stopped to rest on the side of the road.The moonlight shines softly on the earth like water.It's almost summer now, the weather is hot during the day, but the temperature drops sharply at night, just like winter.Fortunately, Lier came out wearing a cloak, and besides the bright moonlight, the fur style of the moon wolf was cool inside during the day, and extremely warm inside at night.

"It's really a good thing!" Tianci couldn't help but admire the moon wolf cloak as he stroked it.

"Don't you have another piece? Make yourself one too!" Lier suggested.

"I don't need it, let's keep a mother as a birthday present!" Tianci's palm moved slightly, and the statue bought in Ancona appeared in his hand.

Looking at this half-meter-high unfinished statue, Tianci misses his mother who is far away in the capital. This is the second time he has left his mother, and he doesn't know what his mother will be in a hurry now.

Li'er leaned against Tianci and looked at the statue carefully, "Brother Tianci, why do you think this statue looks so much like Aunt Zhen? The boss said that this is the mother of our current king. Does it have anything to do with Aunt Zhen?"

"No way, I remember my mother said that our Kate family has always been aristocrats in the capital, important officials of the country, and it is even more prosperous in Grandpa's generation, and the empire has express rules since ancient times that important officials cannot marry the royal family, so mother does not It should have something to do with the queen. I think it might be a coincidence!"

"Hee hee, no matter what, let us buy it. If it wasn't for Brother Tianci, this statue might have been buried in the store for many years. I think Aunt Zhen will definitely like this gift very much."

The next day was dim and bright, and Tianci and others started on the road, and they didn't arrive at Shisan Village until almost noon.

Entering the village chief's house, the village chief and the elders in the village were eating. When they saw Tianci come back, they all stood up in a hurry.Tianci was also polite and joined the lunch together directly.

"How's the bodyguard training going?" Tianci asked.

"The equipment brought back last time has been equipped with more than 200 people. It is normal to have Gru in training, but..."

"But what? Did something happen?" Tianci asked.

"Spike came here two days ago and threatened us if we don't pay in full..."

Langya is a group of more than 500 bandits on the nearby mountains. In the past two years, they have taken advantage of the chaos in the Northwest to take control of Shisan Village and several nearby villages. If the village does not hand over, it will often be attacked by Spike.Another village organized resistance and was bloody massacred by Langya.

"Dangling..." Tianci suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and got angry when he mentioned the bandits. The village chief and elders were shocked and stood up in a hurry.

Tianci signaled that it was okay, "You guys eat first, I'll go find Gru."

Li'er also stood up, and Yu'er followed with a trembling body. The food in the village is extremely unpalatable, so it's worth noting to eat it.

"Ha! Kill!"

"Ha! Kill!"

The sound of training can be heard from the square in the village from a distance.The square in the village is used to dry grain and thresh grain when it is busy, and the villagers play and chat at ordinary times. Recently, they have been training their guards.

Half of the nearly 400 people were wearing armor and holding weapons. Sweat ran down their cheeks under the scorching sun, but everyone showed excited expressions.

"Lord!"

More than 400 people shouted in unison.

Lier's ears buzzed.

Godsend comes to the middle
"Crash!"

A large pile of weapons and armor appeared on the ground, more than 200 pieces were like a hill.The guards without armor and weapons immediately jumped for joy.

Gru and Lorna walked quickly to Tianci.

"There are [-] sets here, you can share them with everyone. After the distribution, I want to discuss with you about Langya!"

Gelu nodded and called the four guards to come out.Gelu divided the personal guards into four teams, each with 100 people as a team, and the four personal guards with the highest fighting qi and martial arts skills were the captains. "Each team will receive fifty sets, and continue training when you are ready!"

The four captains called the team members to go happily to receive the equipment, and Gelu walked in front of Tianci.

"Let's go and sit next to it!" Tianci pointed to the shade of a tree next to him.

Gru followed Tianci to the shade of the tree, and Luo Na followed with Lier.The four of them sat on the ground under the shade of the tree, and Gru spoke first, "Does the lord know about Spike?"

"Well, the village chief told me just now, please tell me about Langya's situation carefully."

"As far as I know, Langya was just a hooligan leader in Hotan City at the time. His martial arts skills were not bad and his fighting spirit was at the fourth level. At that time, he organized a group of gangsters in Hotan City who were idle and fighting all day long to collect protection fees. Later, Hetian The lord of the city was conquered by Viscount Saphiroth. In the same year, he left Hetian City and organized bandits nearby. Later, because of the orc attack, General Seya left Yanhua City to garrison the border in person, and Viscount Saphiroth went to the northwest As the only nobleman, he brought his [-] personal guards to Yanhua City to take over the management here. Langya also rushed from near Hotan City to our Thirteenth Village, and forcibly charged us various fees and materials. If it is not afraid of Sa For the revenge of Viscount Fellowes, Gru and Lorna have already gone to the base of Spike to kill them all."

"So it is!" Tianci nodded.As Viscount Saphiroth, he can only have a maximum of [-] personal guards. Once more than [-], he will violate the laws of the empire. He will be accused of accusing himself of gathering armed forces for rebellion, and deprived of the noble title territory and all property.In order to be able to control a larger territory, Viscount Saphiroth possessed more armed forces, subdued Langya in disguise, and asked him to form bandits. Although they were officials and bandits in name, in fact, Langya was also Viscount Saphiroth. A bodyguard.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in the empire. It is no secret that the eldest prince also devoured the mercenary group.The empire is very strict about private armed forces. Take the Kate family as an example. The Duke of Kate’s fief is in the southern provinces, and the Duke of Kate is in the capital. Except for 5000 of its [-] personal guards, they can follow the Duke to station in the capital. Near the capital and in the Duke's mansion, the other [-] personal guards must stay in the fief, and they are not allowed to leave half a step unless they are ordered by the military department.As for the nobles stationed in other places like the Marquis of Dolan, all their personal guards are not allowed to leave the fief.Once the number of personal guards exceeds the limit or there is evidence of leaving the fief, the imperial army stationed nearby will immediately wipe them out without mercy.

"I heard from the village chief that the supplies and food are not enough this time, what are you going to do?" Tianci asked Gelu.

Gru was silent for a moment, "If you fight, I'm afraid Viscount Sephiroth will retaliate directly. If you endure it, I'm afraid the village will lose everything. I don't know how many villagers will starve to death by then!"

"You're right, but that was in the past. From now on, I won't let that Spike do anything wrong. If he comes again next time, we will let him come and go!" After making up his mind, Tianci said fiercely .

"But my lord, after all, Langya belongs to Viscount Sephiroth, and we blatantly wiped him out. I'm afraid that the villagers will suffer unreasonable disasters under the wrath of Viscount Sephiroth."

Tianci stood up and smiled slightly, "Even if we kill Langya, it's just annihilating a group of bandits. How can he, Viscount Sephiroth, blame us, not to mention I still have this, I don't believe what he dares to do!"

As Tianci said, his palm moved slightly, and a roll of yellow paper appeared in his hand.As the breeze blew, the paper trembled slightly and made a whining sound.Under Gelu's watchful eyes, Tianci slowly opened the paper, and three big gold characters appeared in front of Gelu——"Heavenly Pardon"
