Chapter 70 The Dragon Spear and the Trouble Come to the Door
After agreeing on the time and place to hand over the children, the sun was almost sinking into the horizon. Fan Zheng, who was following Xiela and others, felt bored when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing on the rocks of the port practicing boxing.
, the strong wind brought up by the fist wave shattered the oncoming waves into a puff of water mist!
"Kazi?" Fan recognized who the figure was. He had disappeared since throwing the giant snake onto the city wall outside the city. He had not joined the Dragon Spear people, so he had not been taken to the city lord.
Go there. Silla kept silent about Kaz's whereabouts, probably because she was afraid of Kaz's strength and personality and did not regard him as "one of her own". And Kaz obviously had no intention of joining the Dragon Spear, but he
He suddenly took action to save Dragon Spear and the others, but was later chased by Fan and Lily, forcing both parties to act together. Fan felt that he needed to communicate with Kaz...
"I'll leave for a moment and go back to the hotel later." Fan said hello to Silla and walked in the direction of Kaz.
Fan walked to a place not far from Kaz, put the flower essence and insect dragon aside and let them play, while he imitated Kaz's movements and practiced boxing on the spot, but compared to Kaz's vigorous and energetic
As for fist moves, Fan's moves look a bit funny.
"Hahaha..." Fan's actions were obviously noticed by people passing by. Hearing the laughter of passers-by, Fan was embarrassed to continue practicing. He turned to look in the direction of the laughter and saw a black-haired man.
The young man was carrying a bottle of wine and leaning on the wooden pile beside the dock, smiling happily.
Realizing that Fan was looking at him, the black-haired young man finally stopped laughing, waved his hand and said, "Sorry, don't worry about me, I just think the comparison between you two is so interesting."
Fan touched the back of his head and said rather embarrassedly: "I just wanted to try to imitate it and make you laugh."
Surprise flashed across the face of the black-haired young man, and the smile on his face became wider: "Little brother, you are not a local, are you?"
Fan nodded, glanced at Kaz, and found that he was still shaking his fist selflessly, as if he didn't notice it at all.
The black-haired young man grinned, revealing a row of snow-white teeth, walked over with a bottle of wine and said with a smile: "If you are a local, you might have a fight with me now. With a gentle personality like yours, I'm sure
He's a foreigner who just came to Otez City. By the way, my name is Jax Torre, you can call me Jax."
This time Fan carefully looked at the black-haired young man in front of him. His slightly yellowish black hair was meticulously combed back and tied into a small braid on the back of his head. But judging from his blue eyes, he was definitely
He is not an Eldar person, but a mixed race. Jacks is wearing a yellowish white linen jacket on his upper body, and black trousers with rolled-up legs on his lower body. The ends of the trouser legs look a little wet, maybe he just went to the beach to get wet.
Because of the wetness from the waves.
"My name is Van Genos, just call me Van." Van responded with a smile. Jacks gave him good senses, and he might be a friend worth making.
"Genos?" Jax thought thoughtfully and said to himself, "It feels like I've heard it somewhere before... Are your ancestors also nobles?"
Fan was stunned for a moment, and said with a helpless smile: "Ah... that's right, but that must have been more than a hundred years ago. Now I am just a poor little mage."
"Hahahaha! It's all the same. My father's ancestors were also nobles. Didn't he later become a pirate?" Jacks laughed and patted Fan on the shoulder, as if to comfort Fan. "But speaking of recent times,
Is there anything big going on in the city? Who is that guy who doesn't seem to be easy to mess with? I just came back from the sea."
Fan looked at Kaz on the rocks and told Jacks what happened in Otez at noon. Jacks was so surprised that he almost dropped the wine bottle he was holding in his right hand: "What? There is actually a six
A monster with a higher strength comes to Ortez to cause trouble? Hey! What a bad luck. If I had known this, I wouldn't be fishing at sea at noon. I might even see a tail when I come back."
Do you think you are watching a show? Fan stared at Jacks who was beating his chest with black lines in his head, feeling speechless and abnormal - he was the person involved! You must know the situation at that time, even if you slow down for a second, you may die! If Hill had been at that time
If that and Halina were not in the city, it would be difficult for the city defense troops alone to pose a threat to the big snake... But speaking of it, if Kaz hadn't suddenly jumped out and grabbed the giant snake, I'm afraid Halina would have
It would be difficult for a fatal blow to hit the giant snake that was determined to escape, right? Thinking of this, Fan looked at Kaz again.
"Is he the guy who threw the giant snake up the city wall?" Jacks took a sip of wine, squinted at Kaz's muscular body, and kept tutting, "This guy is definitely not a human, he should
Isn't it a monster that came out of the mountains and forests and disguised itself as a human?"
Kaz's power is indeed completely beyond everyone's understanding. Even Halina and Siyana can't throw the giant snake around like a hammer. Even with a full burst of fighting spirit, ordinary human legendary strong
The person could only barely grab the giant snake and prevent it from slipping away. If it were a race with natural strength like a giant or a dwarf, it might be possible.
"Haha, I won't bother you anymore." Jacks patted Fan on the shoulder and walked towards the Backwater Bar, "I will be at the Backwater Bar these days. Come over when you have time and I'll treat you to a drink!"
"I will go when I have time." Fan turned his attention to Kaz again and continued to imitate his boxing skills.
When the sunset completely sank into the horizon, Fan discovered that Kaz suddenly disappeared from the reef! When he rubbed his eyes to confirm whether Kaz had jumped into the sea, a deafening voice sounded around him: "
Hahaha! Boy! You've been here for so long! And you haven't made any progress at all!"
"Ah! Mr. Kaz..." Rubbing his ears that were ringing, Fan turned around and saw Kaz walking around behind him at some point, with an awkward expression on his face.
"Do you really want to learn my boxing skills?" Kaz squinted his eyes, touched his chin and looked back and forth at Fan, "With your physical qualifications, you should be more suitable for swordsmanship."
The expression on Fan's face became even more embarrassing - he is a magician! But speaking of his elemental sensitivity, it is indeed pitifully weak. This was one of the reasons why his mentor kicked him out of the mage tower at that time... Could it be that he was not born suitable?
Be a mage?
"And you are actually a magician, right?" The smile on Kaz's face became even weirder, "So why do you want to learn boxing from me?"
It was rare that Kaz didn't use the vulgar self-identification of "I", and his tone of voice was calmer than usual. Fan's mood gradually calmed down, and then he felt at a loss...Why on earth did he want to learn Kaz's boxing skills?
Woolen cloth?
Fan gradually recalled his past experiences... Ever since he accidentally saw Sophia using magic when he was a child, he had longed for the power and ease of the magician. When he was young, he ignored his father's opposition and embarked on the path of a magician. But his own
His talent was indeed not suitable for learning magic, and he unintentionally offended his mentor, who began to make things difficult for him until he kicked him out of the mage tower.
Then, he wandered all the way from the northern part of the continent to near Blaino, and accidentally met Lily who fell from the sky. The girl who seemed to be incompatible with this world became his first real friend besides his childhood playmate.
As the relationship deepened, Fan began to feel more and more that Lily, who seemed a little out of place, was actually very cute at times. The other party didn't seem to be too wary of him, but took him as one of his own as a matter of course.
And Fan didn't know why he chose to take risks with Lily after Blake's competition... maybe because it was fun? Fan couldn't explain clearly, but Fan knew that he was the happiest during this period of adventure with Lily.
day.
But it was precisely because of this period of time together that Fan was able to vaguely sense the secrets entangled with Lily and her trouble-making nature. In just this month, Fan encountered powerful enemies that he had never dared to imagine.
! If he wants to continue taking risks with her, his meager strength is destined to become a burden! So Fan longs for power... That's right! What he longs for is powerful power, not the boxing itself! No... maybe from
From the very beginning, since I became a magician, I have always longed for power! Longing for no reason! Now I just added a reason to my desire...
"I... need strength!" Fan lowered his head, and the expression on his face became a little distorted, "That's right... what I want is not to learn boxing... what I want is power!"
"You need power..." A strange smile appeared on Kaz's face behind the mask, "Then...I will give you power! Hahaha! I don't know anything else but boxing. Although I don't
No matter how strong you can become, I can definitely beat ten of you now!"
When Fan began to learn boxing from Kaz, Dragon Spear encountered a big trouble on the way back...
"Who are you?!" Silla looked cautiously at the group of people who surrounded her and others in the alley. They all looked tall and thick, with fierce looks on their faces. It was obvious at a glance that they were not good friends.
Having said that, the other party was actually a little frightened when he saw Silla's height of more than two meters and her figure like an iron tower. However, because of the large number of people, he did not show any timidity: "You are the ones
A mercenary group that hired Karl as a guide?”
Everyone in Dragon Spear was stunned, but Lan was the first to react: "Are you talking about the drunk guy who was drunk before?"
"That's right! It's him!" the largest man in the leader responded, "My men said they saw Karl going out with you, but there is no news until now... When we asked around for information about him, we found out
He was found dead! Tell me, how are you going to handle this matter?"
Hearing what the other party said, everyone in the Dragon Spear couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed - they were indeed in the wrong, after all, they hired someone to be a guide and ended up harming their lives. Even if it wasn't the Dragon Spear who did it, it was because of the Dragon Spear.
The employment has led to the current situation.
"Now that you have heard about his situation, you should know that his death has nothing to do with us, right?" Unlike the mercenaries of the Dragon Spear, Aisela did not feel any burden at all, and looked at the people who were half a body taller than herself with a cold face.
The burly man's voice was much louder than usual - although still very quiet, "As far as I know, the person who killed the Karl you are talking about was a butcher who specifically made trouble for pirates. If his death is to be investigated,
If the butcher is to be traced, why should he come to us for trouble? We are not his nannies."
Lan looked at Aisela in surprise. She didn't expect Aisela, who was usually low-pitched and weak-looking, to have such a side. Lan smiled and touched Aisela's head, shielding her from it.
He noticed the looks that the group of burly men cast towards Eisela, and said with a smile: "You are pirates, right? The butcher always picks people like you, so you must know it."
The face of the leader's big man changed. Just when he was about to defend something, Lan raised his hand to stop him and continued to talk: "I know what you want to say. It's just that when our Dragon Spear hired him,
We bear some responsibility for his death. But I think that a person who can get drunk on the street, and even work as a guide for a bottle of wine, and even leave without anyone asking, has no status at all on your ship.
Right? You just want to extort a few dollars from us and make use of its residual value, right?"
The leader of the pirates' face turned blue and white. Although he wanted to argue a few words about how good the relationship between Karl and the people on the ship was, the fact was that Karl was really not doing well on the ship. Even what happened to Karl in the morning
Son, they accidentally discovered it in the afternoon, and after they found out what happened to Karl, they started to think crookedly and wanted to ask Dragon Spear to extort a sum of money. But if Dragon Spear gave in to this kind of thing, the pirates would
Of course, the pirates would like to see the money the most. However, if the Dragon Spear insists on refusing to give it, the pirates will not dare to ask them for it, because if the two sides argue, they will definitely attract the city guards. This kind of shady thing
If the city guards knew about the matter, they would definitely be miserable!
Seeing the pirate's behavior, how could Lan not know that her side was completely being blackmailed? She narrowed her eyes and suggested with a smile: "Look, we are also very sorry for Carl's death. We have no feud with the Butcher.
, but he dares to kill people in front of us, which does undermine the majesty of our mercenary group. Why not hire us to clean up the butchers? If successful, the reputation of your pirate group will definitely shock the entire Alton Territory - even the
Eastern city-states.”
The pirate leader's eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "What? Hire you?!" I haven't extorted any money yet, and you still want to make money from me?
"Tch, I can see at a glance that your pirate group is just a small, low-class gang in Otez City." Lan looked at the pirate leader with disdain, which made him immediately furious: "Woman! What do you mean?
What?! Say it again if you dare!"
Lan spread his hands and sneered: "Isn't it right? Have you heard about what happened at the south gate at noon?"
"South Gate? That sixth-level monster?" The pirate leader didn't know what Lan Ti was doing.
Lan nodded and said quite proudly: "Our mercenary group was at the gate of the city at that time, and we even smashed the skull of the giant snake! You should feel honored to have us agree to help you! And you should feel honored!
You are so short-sighted and only see the small profit in front of you, which is destined to not achieve much! Think about it, if you successfully annihilate the butcher, how much honor and prestige will you get in Otez City? Those who usually work because of
Will all the worried and fearful pirates be grateful to you? By then, your pirate group will definitely become one of the most powerful pirate groups in Otez City!"
"Ah... that's right..." The pirate leader was obviously tempted by the cake drawn by Lan, but Aisela behind Lan covered her face - there is no hope... these guys are definitely hopeless.
!Although Sister Lan is telling the truth... But haven't we been making soy sauce at the gate of the city?
"We won't charge you too much, just ten gold coins, just for the sake of it." Lan's lion opened his mouth and made everyone speechless - ten gold coins! This is a robbery!
"Ten gold coins? Is that too much?" The pirate leader obviously seemed a little unhappy, but Lan immediately told the others to leave with a tigerish face: "Since you don't think this little money is too much, then what do you think of me?
We haven’t even said anything yet! I think there are still many pirate groups who want to destroy Butcher to gain fame and fortune... I think I should go find them."
The pirate leader obviously had a weak head. Seeing that the man from the Dragon Spear was really about to leave, he immediately stopped Lan: "Hey! Don't leave! Ten gold coins is ten gold coins!"
After saying that, the pirate leader really poured out a golden gold coin from his wallet! But judging from the heraldic style, it was the least valuable Carretta gold coin. However, Lan Dao was not picky about anything and immediately took the gold coin.
Huge commission. After all, I said "meaning" in the first place. It would be bad if I said more to make that idiot react...
PS: PS: The sizes of gold coins issued by various countries are basically minted in accordance with the standards proposed by the Alkari Council. However, the gold content of gold coins in various countries is not the same. The output of Carreta's original metal mines is very low, so in the currency
It is mixed with many other metals. In addition, the gold content of gold coins issued by other countries is roughly the same. Generally speaking, twelve Carreta gold coins can only be exchanged for seven Alkari gold coins.
