Chapter 383: weird place
"Your Excellency, you are asking the right person!"
Hearing this, I saw Eya giggling, then patted his rather tall chest and said: "The little girl is a well-known informant in the Principality of Shanjing!"
Having said that, Eya's slender eyelashes flickered, and she leaned forward slightly, rubbing her fingers towards Lei Xiao.
He continued to smile and said: "However, I think your Excellency also knows.
Our Shanjing Principality rarely communicates with the outside world, and is rarely known to the outside world. As the saying goes, rare things are valuable, especially information.
Therefore, it is natural to pay a small price. "
On the other side, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and immediately understood what the other party meant.
Undoubtedly, for our own side, the problem that can be solved with the golden dragon is obviously not a problem.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and ten golden golden dragons flashed on the palm of his hand, and then handed it to this petite businesswoman.
"As expected of a friend introduced by Uncle Kunbu, it really is very generous!"
On the opposite side, Eya's eyes lit up, she raised her eyebrows at Lei Xiao, and said, "Since it was introduced by a friend, I'll give you a 20% discount."
After finishing speaking, she took the eight golden dragons from Lei Xiao's hand with a face full of joy.
"He's still a very principled guy."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao shrugged slightly, and then put the remaining two golden dragons back into the space bracelet.
"Then, may I ask this new friend, who exactly do you want to know about the Principality of Shanjing?"
After taking Lei Xiao's golden dragon, Eya's expression became more enthusiastic.
She greeted Lei Xiao and Lin, sat down at the simple square table next to the container, and asked with a smile.
That expression, as if just negotiated a big deal.
"This person's name is Burt, and he is currently serving as the general of the kingdom in the Cold Flame Kingdom."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao, who just sat down on the wooden chair, cut straight to the point and said, "General Burt is not only a long-established fourth-rank senior expert.
Moreover, even in the Lengyan royal family, commanding the strength of a legion can be regarded as a high position.
In the Principality of Shanjing, there must have been such a remarkable figure that everyone knew about it, right? "
"You mean him?" Hearing this, Eya's delicate face suddenly showed a weird look.
Immediately afterwards, she put the golden dragon she got back on the table in front of Lei Xiao without hesitation.
He quickly shook his head and said, "Sorry Your Excellency, the little girl has never heard of this name.
If what you want to inquire about is only this person, then please leave as soon as possible, the little girl doesn't know anything. "
"Oh?" Seeing the other party's face suddenly changed, Lei Xiao pushed the gold coin in front of the other party again, and then said calmly: "It's okay, I just asked casually.
There is another reason for our visit this time, and that is the need for large quantities of white jade ore. I wonder if you still have any stocks here? "
"If it's just white jade ore, the little girl can provide some help."
On the other side, Eya's fair little face showed a somewhat forced smile again.
Then he said: "To tell you the truth, recently, a large vein of white jade ore was discovered in our Shanjing Principality's mining area.
At present, mining is being stepped up, and the little girl happens to have the exclusive right to sell this vein.
If you need something, the little girl can give you priority in the future. "
"Then let's do that."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then with a thought, he took out another bag of gold coins and handed it to the other party.
He smiled and said, "These should be regarded as a deposit. I will find someone to contact you later on."
"Thank you for your trust!"
Seeing that the bag was full of shiny golden dragons, Eya's star pupils lit up again, and he quickly put the gold coins into his arms.
"Okay, let's go here first."
Nodding to the petite and dainty Shanjing Principality businessman in front of him, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, stood up from the wooden chair, and walked out of the shop with Lin.
"Your Excellency, go slowly!" Eya also stood up quickly, sent Lei Xiao and Lei Xiao to the door of the store, and said goodbye in a warm tone.
In this way, after arriving on the bustling street again.
Seeing Lin who was closely following Lei Xiao, she couldn't help but frowned slightly and said, "My lord.
The businesswoman just now obviously knew something about Bert, but she kept her mouth shut. "
At this time, under the influence of the illusion cloak, although Lin's clothes were very ordinary, her appearance was much more ordinary.
But the heroic spirit on his face has been reduced by half, instead there is a trace of unexpected charm.
Some passers-by around could not help but look slightly sideways.
"Indeed, otherwise.
She wouldn't blurt out "You mean him?" at the beginning, this kind of response that obviously knew something. "
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao casually observed the bustling shops around and said, "Moreover.
It can make a very shrewd businessman spit out the golden dragon that has reached his mouth again.
It can be seen that there is obviously an unknown past behind the giant axe general Bert. "
"My lord's analysis is very reasonable."
A sassy voice sounded, and it was Lin who still had her long hair tied behind her head, leaving only two strands hanging down from her left and right ears.
He asked again: "Then what should we do next?"
"At this stage, the three goals we came here, among them, the problems about the sky pterosaur and the white jade ore have been resolved.
Only the last one is left, and that is to learn more about Burt the Greataxe General.
Just like Jubai before, make sufficient preparations to finally subdue the other party. "
With a slight nod towards Lin, Lei Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze and responded, "However, it's just like what you and Kunbu said before.
This small country located in the mountains is quite mysterious, and there are many places that do not conform to common sense.
Moreover, we are not sure whether these things have anything to do with Burt, General Axe.
Therefore, the next actions will naturally be carried out around Bert.
By the way, investigate and investigate these weird places. "
"What the lord said is very true. When the subordinates lived here temporarily, they didn't realize that there was any significant difference between this place and other regions.
Judging from the current situation, it is indeed quite strange. "
At this moment, Lin's slender eyebrows were about to frown together on her fair face, and she said thoughtfully, "If that's the case.
Then, let's go back to the hotel just now to investigate.
After all, the subordinates encountered strange things there before, and it is still unknown what new clues they may find. "
"That's exactly what I mean." With a slight nod, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved, and he continued to observe the lively street scene around him.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the corner of the street ahead.
Looking along the crowd, Lei Xiao noticed.
I saw a young mercenary who was in the caravan that went to the city together before, looking at a loss.
Surrounded by a group of local residents, judging from the expressions of these local residents, they are obviously very angry.
Immediately afterwards, the chunky businessman who brought his side into the city before squeezed into the crowd, after a playful smile.
Only then did the young mercenary, who was still in a daze, be pulled from the angry crowd to the gate of the hotel not far away.
However, due to the location of the incident, it is far away from our own side, and the environment on the street is very noisy.
Therefore, the whole party could not tell what they had said.
"My lord, it seems that this young mercenary seems to have done something that aroused the resentment of the local residents."
When the flow of people returned to normal, Lin couldn't help showing a look of contemplation, and said thoughtfully.
"That's how it should look."
Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao immediately turned to Lin, who was hiding under the invisibility cloak.
Hu Zhang, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Bai Wei, Ah Bing, and A Ling who were scattered around said: "Okay, let's go back to the hotel to have a look."
Just like that, he went straight back to the hotel, and saw that in the quite spacious hall, the chunky businessman was saying these things to the young mercenary with a serious face.
On the other side, seeing Lei Xiao and others entering the door, the short and fat businessman immediately came up to meet him, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, you are back.
I have already booked the room for you. It is the most luxurious large suite in the hotel on the innermost part of the second floor.
Not to mention the two of you, even ten people can easily live here! "
After finishing speaking, the chunky businessman handed a simple and simple brass door key to Lei Xiao's hand.
"Good job." Wei Wei nodded, took the key from the other party, and Lei Xiao pulled the chunky businessman aside.
Then he asked, "What happened on the street just now?"
"So your Excellency has seen it too." Seeing the greasy face of the short and fat businessman, full of helplessness, he replied: "It's all that new mercenary who doesn't understand the rules here.
It was almost besieged by these local residents. You know, the folk customs here are very tough. "
"Oh?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Actually, this is the first time we have come to this mountain country.
I just heard that outsiders are not liked here, so I temporarily joined your caravan. I wonder if there are any taboos here? "
"Your Excellency, you are asking the right person."
The chunky businessman dragged Lei Xiao into the lobby of the hotel, where he sat down on a sofa in a secluded corner.
Then replied: "I'm not like most of the traveling merchants who come here occasionally.
They are one of the few professional businessmen who only run the route between Shanjing Principality and Leng Yan.
Therefore, it is true that I know a little more about this place than others. "
Having said that, the middle-aged man's short, fat and greasy face could not help showing a hint of caution, first looking around from the left to the back.
Then he lowered his voice and said: "I have to say, compared with the outside, this place is indeed a bit unusual."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to listen.
"Let's take that rookie mercenary just now as an example.
This guy was besieged by the local residents just because he took out a silver dragon to pay for the local specialties just now. "
At this time, the short and fat businessman half-covered his mouth with his hands, and then spoke.
"I see."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of contemplation, and thought to himself: "Before this, Kumbu did mention it.
Residents here only use golden dragons for transactions.
To the outside world, they would rather give more than accept silver dragons and copper dragons.
Internally, the gold coins are divided into several parts and used as silver coins and copper coins.
It has to be said that this way of using currency is indeed very different. "
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao thought for a while, then asked again: "Then why do the residents here do this?"
"That's one of the weird things about this place."
The chunky businessman lowered his voice to the extreme again, and responded in a low voice: "I have also asked many local partners this question.
In the end, not only did I get nothing, but I was greeted cordially twice.
If it weren't for the fact that there are few foreign businessmen here and the competition is not so fierce, I would have already given up my job. "
Speaking of this, the chunky businessman seemed to recall some bad experience, and shivered involuntarily.
Then he continued: "Besides, I don't know if you have discovered it.
The architectural style here is also very unique, almost all of them are right angles, there is no arched structure or rounded structure, which looks very stiff.
When I was young, I traveled to many countries, but I have never seen such a square architectural style. "
"I've noticed this too." With a slight nod, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of deep thought.
It has to be said that even in the ruins of the elves and the enchantment of the winged people, our side has never seen this architectural style.
"It seems that there are quite a few weird places.
It can be seen that it is indeed very possible that ~ hides an unknown secret here.
I have to say that this mysterious country in the mountains is really getting more and more interesting. "
Realizing this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment while rubbing his chin.
At the same time, he said to the middle-aged businessman: "Besides this, is there any other noteworthy place here?"
On the other side, I saw a middle-aged, chunky businessman rubbing the back of his head and pondering for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Sorry Your Excellency, I don't know about the others."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged chubby businessman seemed to suddenly think of something, and then his eyes lit up and said: "By the way, Your Excellency, when I came here in the early days.
I have also talked to some local partners about Burt, General Axe.
However, another unusual thing was discovered. "
"Oh?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao immediately showed interest and continued to listen.
