I burn the sky in Kyoto

However, the merchants with the horns are often the highest bidders when they receive the goods, so no matter how unhappy they are, business is still business, and there is no trembling.

"Don't be nervous, buddy. I just saw that your town is still picking and peeling cotton by yourself. I recommend you slaves who pick cotton automatically." The businessman with a voice completely ignored the vicious words of the sheriff and went directly to sell his products.

"Look at other places now, these slaves are used to work in the fields, but you still pick cotton by yourself, isn't it tiring?"

"This kind of slave is solid. A bowl of chaff a day is enough, and he can work hard under the whip."

The big golden backed head with a businessman seemed to reflect light in the sun, and his smile was extraordinarily bright.

"How much?" asked the sheriff.

"6 pounds per person." The businessman smiled and showed his yellow teeth.

"6 pounds! Why don't you grab it!" the sheriff yelled directly.

In this era, the purchasing power of £6 can even support a family of several people for half a year to a year.

"If you don't have enough money, you can use cotton as a mortgage. You can exchange 200 kilograms of cotton for a slave. If you don't have enough cotton, you can sign a loan. Just give me 30 kilograms of cotton first, and then give me [-] kilograms of cotton in installments every year. You can pay it off in ten years." ..."

"Look at these slaves. It may take a few years to earn back the money they bought, and the rest is pure profit. At worst, you can make these slaves work harder. If you work 25 hours a day, you can get it back in a year. cost?"

The businessman was still eloquently introducing the slave trade, but the sheriff was already waving impatiently.

"Get out of here after the cotton is collected, no one here can afford your stuff, go as far as you go, the smell of copper on your knuckles is more disgusting than the stench of the Franks."

"If the family can't afford it, the whole town can raise money to buy a few together...By the way, I have a stone that is stronger than hemp. Putting it by your side can make people feel ecstatic. Do you want to consider it? Just a moment..." The businessman still didn't give up on selling.

"roll roll roll……"

The businessman in the country still left after harvesting the cotton. At least no one in this small town wanted his products.

Li Wei was by the side, watching this magical scene, without stopping or participating.

There are too many problems left over from this period of history, and he is not very easy to participate in, so he simply acts as a bystander.

"These gangsters should be sent to hell. They are really more demons than demons." After the businessman left, the sheriff spit in the direction of the businessman and said,

"Sooner or later, those gangsters will go to hell, and Satan will let them understand the pain of hell. No, if those gangsters go to hell and let Satan understand that they can still oppress the bottom, will hell also end?"

The sheriff kept complaining.

Li Wei looked at the back of the departing businessman, and he couldn't imagine why this mission was only in this peaceful town.

Reasonably speaking, this era should be the era of great voyages and the development of bloody capital. Why is the task of coming to this era not to be the Pirate King, but a very vague "end the root of heresy".

If it’s really not possible, go to fight against Qingming, or go to the Far East to put those reformers to death in the cradle.

"Outsiders, let's have a few drinks together today. After you came, our whole town has become a lot richer." The sheriff said bluntly.

Chapter 170: Folklorist

When Li Wei first arrived, some people were wary of Li Wei, a foreigner, but after a few days, everyone welcomed him.

The main reason is that Li Wei is very rich, very rich, and he has a lot of gold and silver in his storage space at any time, and he doesn't bother to bargain after taking out the gold and silver, he just throws them away.

This also made the whole town feel that Li Wei was a noble young master of the royal family, and they were all very hospitable.

Just like today, Li Wei broke off a small piece of silver and threw it to the tavern owner, and then the tavern owner directly announced that today's drinks are free, because Li Wei gave too much.

That's why the sheriff likes to take Li Wei to drink.

The whole tavern also cheered lively, whether it was gambling or drinking, everyone shouted happily.

Li Wei didn't care either. Gold and silver were basically useless to him. In addition, he had robbed a lot of bald eagles in the previous world. Putting these precious metals in the storage space would take up too much space.

In his opinion, it is extremely cost-effective to be able to open up the relationship in the new world through such a simple thing.

The tavern mainly contains rum, dark beer, and wine. Li Wei naturally chooses wine, and the sheriff picks up a load of dark beer and pours tons of it.

But at this time, an unexpected visitor opened the door of the tavern. It was a muscular man with a height of more than two meters, but he was wearing a custom-made aristocratic costume. When he came here, he seemed to stand out from the crowd among the red necks. .

"Boss, here is a bottle of Irish whiskey." The gentleman's muscular man did not show the arrogance of the aristocrat, but said very calmly.

"Sorry sir, we don't have whiskey here, let alone Irish whiskey, only these..." The sommelier revealed the wine rack behind him, even the wines were some of the cheapest.

"Then let's have a bottle of that." The gentleman pointed to a good bottle of bad wine, and said, "How much is it?"

"You don't have to pay. A gentleman paid for it today and the audience is free." The bartender said.

"Oh." The gentleman's muscular man glanced back and forth, and looked at Li Wei who was not far away.

The main reason is that Li Wei's posthumous cowboy leather armor and the matador's felt hat of this era are too conspicuous, completely out of tune with the people around him, and he can tell that his leather armor must be very valuable.

"Do you mind if I sit down with you?" The gentleman came to Li Wei and asked.

"Please." Li Wei pointed to the seat beside him.

The magistrate looked at the gentleman, and gave a displeased "tss": "I guess he's another country guy who sells serfs."

"No, no, no, I'm not a slave trader. I'm a writer and folklorist. This time I just came here to ask about the situation because I found an item related to folklore." The gentleman took out a The exquisite metal box was handed over to Li Wei.

There is an opening in the middle of the metal box, which is inlaid with transparent glass, and the metal and the inside are still a glass container, which is a double-layer isolation box.

In the middle of the glass container is a small piece of stone with a strange pattern, which seems to be a DNA double helix pattern, which makes Li Wei feel very strange.

What's even more weird is that at this time, Li Wei's "Necronomicon" reacted.

However, the "Necronomicon" did not include this piece of fragment, but only a slight reaction, as if telling Li Wei that the matrix of this stone is the product of the Outer God.

"Drink slowly, I want to talk business with this gentleman." Li Wei said to the sheriff who was drinking.

"Is it convenient to talk further, gentleman." Levi asked.

"Of course, that's why I came here." The gentleman seemed very happy and agreed.

The two left the tavern and came to a place not far away where no one was there.

The gentleman stretched out his hand and said, "Hi sir, my name is Renjov Carter Joestar, and I am a folklorist. You can directly call me Carter or Jojo."

"Layway (Li Wei), my name." Li Wei said his name lightly, and then prepared to open the iron box to observe the stone closely.

I don't know why, looking at this guy with muscles and calling himself "Jojo", Li Wei always thinks of the team of tough men he met in his second mission.

And the main occupation of this muscular gentleman is actually a folklorist.

"Don't move, Your Excellency Levi, don't open this box."

"Ok?"

"To be honest, this kind of stone will have a strong hallucinogenic effect, even the current double-layer isolation will have a weak hallucinogenic effect. And people affected by this stone will appear crazy. I also investigated this The origin of the stone is here, so I came here for further investigation."

"Mr. Carter, where did you get this stone?" Li Wei asked, he should call the person in front of him Carter, it always feels unlucky to call him Jojo.

"The West India Company, but they excavated it from around here and sold it as a new type of product." The gentleman Carter said.

"That's troublesome." Levi said.

He had a hunch that this thing was related to his mission this time.

The only thing that can make the "Necronomicon" react is the creation of the outer gods. The stones covered with strange patterns are the creations of the outer gods in this world.

"What's the matter? Your Excellency Levi, do you know this stone?" Carter asked, his muscular physique of nearly two meters would produce an unparalleled sense of oppression even with a gentleman's etiquette.

"No, but I'm also here for the source of this stone. Wait a minute, let's ask the priest when he comes back tonight." Li Wei frowned, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Li Wei took Carter to the church. Carter spent money to live directly near the church today. The two studied the stone together for a whole day, but found nothing.

Without opening the box, Li Wei can only analyze the information through the pattern on the stone, but nothing can be analyzed. He only thinks that the pattern is like a DNA double helix structure, but the DNA double helix model will have to wait for hundreds of years. will be parsed out.

It wasn't until nightfall that the priest returned to the church. Carter and Levi, who had studied for a whole day but found nothing, found the priest with the stone.

The priest was also taken aback when he saw the stone, and then he didn't seem to see the dignified expressions of Li Wei and Carter, and said: "I also have this kind of stone. I bought it at the port. I am closer to God."

In the weird expressions of Li Wei and Carter, the priest returned to the bedroom and took out a small piece of stone the size of a fingernail, with a rope strung on it, which seemed to be made into the shape of a necklace.

This stone was exposed to everyone without any barriers.

"Father, how long has it been since you bought this thing?" Li Wei asked hastily.

"It's been a few days." The priest responded, "Since I put this rune stone under the bed, I seem to be able to see the appearance of God every night when I sleep, so I also recommend believers to bring one."

Chapter 170 Three: Whispers

After hearing what the priest said, Li Wei froze on the spot.

He believed what Carter said, even though Levi never felt any danger on this strangely patterned stone.

But "Necronomicon" would not lie to him, this kind of stone was a creation related to the Outer Gods.

Even though he has lived peacefully in this small town for many days, he still remembers that the mission level this time is A-level.

Before that, the only instance he had ever experienced in A-level was the instance of beheading Yamata no Orochi.

Even the last dungeon facing the Golden King and the Mushroom Bomb was only B+.

He snatched the stone from the priest's hand, and then crushed it directly in his hand.

"You..." The priest was stunned when he saw Li Wei's actions, and then he only felt unparalleled anger.

"Father, believe me, this kind of stone is poisonous, throw away all these things in the church." Li Wei put his hand on the priest's shoulder, and then handed a gold brick to the priest's hand.

The priest's expression became kind all of a sudden, he secretly slipped the gold brick into his sleeve, and said, "I understand."

After finishing speaking, the priest secretly glanced at Carter, who looked like a muscular man, and he was relieved after making sure that Carter didn't see the gold brick.

"Your Excellency Levi, the matter is more serious than we imagined. We must not let this stone continue to circulate. I felt something talking in my brain just after such a short contact." Carter pointed to his Head, speaking.

The two left the church immediately, with serious expressions on their faces.

However, Li Wei didn't feel any hallucinations or whispers. This kind of stone seemed like an ordinary fossil in his hand.

Other than the initial Necronomicon reaction, nothing seemed to work on him.

If this kind of stone worked for him, he who has been living in the church should have discovered the strangeness long ago.

"Your Excellency Li Wei, Your Excellency Li Wei..."

Carter kept calling Levi's name to get his mind back.

"Your Excellency Levi, it seems that you have also been affected by that strange stone, then we have to go to the West India Company as soon as possible to find out the origin of this stone." Carter saw Li Wei just recovered, and mistakenly thought that Li Wei It is also affected by the stone.

Li Wei did not explain, but immediately said: "Then let's go quickly, do you know where the headquarters of the West India Company is?"

"Here, ten kilometers north of the Massachusetts port, they have established a dedicated port there." Carter replied.

"Then let's set off quickly." Li Wei came to the edge of the stable behind the church and stepped onto the horse's back.

The originally listless horse immediately came alive after Li Wei rode on it, roaring upwards as if steam gushed out of its nostrils.
