From star abyss

This night was a sleepless night for many people, but Li Ozi slept comfortably, recharged his energy, and made all preparations.

He has made it a point to overturn the table if his plans go awry. Anyway, Tianhuan has the handle, and he is a Red Arrow citizen, so he is not afraid of being tough.

Kagami Hazama's reaction was more surprising. This outspoken and highly aggressive terrorist had not given any signal of attack yet, and was very cautiously dormant, which saved Li Ozi a lot of trouble.

"Now, come and enjoy the carnival."

When the Kowloon party opened, the crowd density in Qiong Anjing tripled. Li Ozi was invited to avoid traveling during peak hours. A special car invited him to the home venue of the banquet, Kowloon Temple.

Passing through the torii gate and the mountain path with countless white lanterns flying, Li Aozi stepped into the square under the guidance of two monks. It should be said that it is not easy to see such an antique temple in this era. The high-rise buildings of Tianhuan The leaders and the temple abbot are delivering speeches on the stage, and then they will conduct rituals under the guidance of the witches and the Great Onmyoji.

The whole process was babbling, and Li Aozi was not interested. He listened to the speech for a while, but in fact, his eyes scanned the crowd, and he clearly noticed the faces of several frost-coated people.

The other party looked serious and stereotyped, and all the people traveling there were men. Basically, it could be ruled out that they were rich officials and rich people - that is, they were agents of Rule 3.

Li Ozi had the [Eye of Truth] and took the time to take a look. Sure enough, these frost-plated people were all [Law Three Non-Staff Agents].

"The frost-plated people seem to be causing trouble."

Li Ozi noticed that these people frequently came together with some powerful people from Tianhuan to communicate with each other, and from time to time their eyes would turn to him. He couldn't help but sneer: Now that you've reached this point, you still want to kill someone with a borrowed knife?

Shuang Ping's battle on the Gulant front line was not going well, and he was humiliated by Li Aozi in turn. He must have been unable to hold back and wanted to get rid of himself - but he only used this three-legged cat method to incite the strong to deal with him. Then It's a bit hard to think about.

Li Ozi was too lazy to pay attention to this group of people. Then he thought about it and realized that these people may not be useless.

"Maybe, it can be like this..."

He turned around and walked directly into the exhibition venue, admiring the weapons and blades crafted by Tianhuan's skilled craftsmen throughout the year.

This is the way for the Kowloon Party to increase foreign exchange income - Tianhuan's weapons are world-famous, especially cold weapons and swords. Regardless of their collection value or being used by individual strong men, they are the first choice without exception.

And at this kind of international event, it is not just an order for weapons, but also a good opportunity for craftsmen to show themselves. Many unknown swordsmiths, because their works are admired by others, can even become famous overnight and achieve a class leap. There are also some. Many people deliberately create some gorgeous but worthless weapons just to show off their skills and show off their superb skills.

Of course, in this kind of situation, it is impossible to set up a street stall and let others play with it. All weapons have complex genetic code locks. If you like them, you must communicate with the craftsman to confirm before you can open them for trial.

Of course, such a strict screening method is a bit unfriendly to most buyers and spectators, and there is also some opportunism and shoddy quality. No one wants to spend a lot of energy and end up buying only flashy weapons. Therefore, most of the time, the organizers of the Kowloon party assume that the two parties have reached a consensus, buy and sell in one go, and give a relatively objective evaluation price.

Do it at your own risk, which is part of the joy of shopping.

Many onlookers and buyers carefully used various methods to identify them. Those who came to the party were obviously from good backgrounds and had some identification methods and instruments themselves.

But even so, Li Ozi turned on the [Eye of Truth] and scanned around. Among the ten people, at least five bought the goods at an exaggerated price, and one person bought a fake product.

For this kind of work of identifying treasures and hunting for goods, [Eye of Truth] is like cheating. The quality attributes of the goods are directly in front of you, and you can even see if they are genuine by just scanning the name.

[It saves a lot of effort - players will probably thank me very much if they have the opportunity to attend this party. 】

Li Aozi pretended to visit some booths, and there was a frost-plated agent secretly following him behind his back. Li Aozi didn't take it seriously. From time to time, he picked up weapons to try out, and even communicated with some craftsmen.

However, soon, the effect of frost-plated people talking behind their backs became apparent.

Li Ozi put down his wakizashi, shook his head, and said to the craftsman:

"This weapon does not suit my fighting style and is too short. However, the workmanship is still very beautiful. I hope you find a suitable buyer."

There was nothing wrong with what he said. Then before he finished speaking, a strange voice suddenly sounded from behind:

"Hey, the Red Arrow people are very knowledgeable. A weapon like a wakizashi, which is originally a short sword, is actually too short."

Li Ozi glanced behind him and saw a sturdy man with arms folded walking over, not hiding his Beta-level aura. He was wearing a large warrior robe, and at first glance he was a warrior of the Dragon Sect. , there is also a venomous snake spitting out letters tattooed on his neck.

He walked slowly over, grabbed the wakizashi from the craftsman's hand, weighed it in his hand, waved it twice, made a majestic sound in the air, and nodded:

"What? Isn't this pretty good? Blowing and breaking hair is a no brainer."

As he spoke, he held his wakizashi in his hand, looked at Li Aozi narrowly, and changed the subject:

"Hey, there's nothing we can do about it - we, Tianhuan, are just a small country. We are inevitably short of supplies. We have never seen the world. How can we compare with the masters of the empire?"

The passers-by around seemed to know this warrior and started whispering:

"Hey, isn't that the retainer of the Hojo family - Yanaemon Shinsuke?"

"The Red Arrows are in bad luck. How did they get into trouble with this mad dog?"

"Ranaemon Yanagi's master was defeated by Red Arrow's sword master, and he couldn't bear the humiliation and committed seppuku. Now this guy is an anti-Red Arrow demon."

The whispers from the surrounding guests and the attitude of watching a good show surprised Li Aozi - he did not expect to encounter such a thing again.

[Rule 3: How come you are so lucky to provoke such a person? 】

But if you think about it carefully, it's normal. Zhe Sangan is a professional at provoking Gonghuo. I guess they have come into contact with a lot of similar people.

The craftsman was suppressed by the warrior's momentum and was submissive. He did not dare to express his position at all. He looked helplessly at Li Ozi, hoping that he could say something.

Li Aozi glanced at the warrior and didn't want to pay attention to him at all. He turned around and was about to leave. However, the samurai turned sideways and deliberately stopped in front of Li Aozi.

"In such a hurry to leave? Are you so disdainful of our Tianhuan things?"

Liu Weimen's words were all teasing. It was clear that he was here to cause trouble, so there was no need to follow his wishes.

——But after hearing these words, Li Ozi felt unhappy.

Li Ozi's eyes slowly lit up with a golden halo, and just as he was about to push this stupid idiot to the ground, another scolding sound came from not far away:

"Hey! Liu Weimen, do you want to embarrass yourself internationally?!"

While he was talking, a high-spirited man in military uniform walked over with his hands in his pockets and an unkind expression. He stared at Liu Weimen and said coldly:

"This is a Kowloon gathering, a sacred ceremony, where guests from all over the world gather. Do you want the people of Tianhuan to be ridiculed?"

"Oh? This isn't Kim Tae-hyun from our Capital Security Bureau, Young General Kim."

Liu Weimen did not back down at all just because the other party was a senior military officer. He reminded him with a playful smile:

"Your job is to protect Prime Minister Park's life and safety, not to protect the dignity of Tianhuan people - on the contrary, only warriors can maintain the dignity of Tianhuan people."

Ryuemon Shinsuke is a retainer of the clan. In terms of class nature, he is much higher than a pure soldier like Kim Tae-hyun. Especially Kim Tae-hyun is just a dog that blocks bullets for the prime minister. According to the default rules, he You also need to say honorifics to yourself.

Kim Tae Hyun looked unkind. He originally wanted to mediate this meaningless farce, but instead he was ridiculed and humiliated, and his face immediately turned blue with anger.

He pointed at the other party and yelled: "Can't you tell who is making such nonsense? Don't think that relying on Mr. Hojo Tokitaka's favor, you can walk sideways. This is Qiong Anjing! It's not your turn. act wildly!"

"Oh, I'm curious, is it my turn, or is it the turn of retainers like 'us'?"

Liu Weimen's new assistant spread his hands and immediately started arguing with Kim Tae Hyun.

The conflict between the new military faction and the clan faction has been accumulating for a long time. The former, relying on the promotion of status brought by the Kowloon gathering, has become a little arrogant and has forgotten the fact that this country is controlled by clan groups.

"If you hadn't taken the initiative to stir up trouble with foreigners, why would I have come to stop your stupid behavior."

Kim Tae-hyun responded tit-for-tat. He pointed at Li Ozi beside him:

"Everyone has seen that this foreign friend just picked up his weapon and made some comments, but was blocked in front of him by this idiot Liu Weiman and refused to leave - what do you want? Put us on the international stage. , turning into an unreasonable and barbaric image?”

"Only a coward would care about other people's opinions." Liu Weimen didn't care: "What's more, the guy next to you is from the Red Arrow Empire, what? Are you protecting the enemies of Tianhuan Kingdom?"

"I don't care what personal grudges you have, this is an international event!"

"Okay, since I disturbed the order, you came to arrest me, take me away, and put me in prison - what? Young General Jin, why don't you dare to do anything?"

Liu Weimen laughed endlessly. He saw Kim Tae-hyun's weak nature and concluded that this guy was incapable of capturing Hojo's retainers.

The country would not dare to break up with the Hojo family no matter what. Rather, the entire Tianhuan seemed to be armed with the Hojo family. Whenever something went wrong with the Hojo family, the entire country would be in turmoil.

Because of this, the retainer samurai of the Hojo family are almost confident and do whatever they want in the country.

Even if Liu Weimen really made some mistake, Kim Taehyun would not dare to arrest him.

Yanaemon made no secret of his aura of peak Beta level strength, which added to his persuasiveness.

Tianhuan is a place where strength is respected. In many cases, strength is a privilege, especially for someone like him who has the dual identity of a Beta-level elite + a retainer of the Hojo family. In terms of personal strength and power, he belongs to the echelon that "cannot be messed with".

Kim Tae Hyun suppressed his blush. If he really dared to catch Liu Weimen, the opponent would find his way back sooner or later. He didn't even need the Hojo family behind him to take action. The top Beta warriors would be enough to make him never sleep well in the future. Go to sleep.

Let alone arresting people, even if he was really good at beating people, he wouldn't dare to do it in such a situation. What a serious impact it would have.

Seeing that this man was deflated, Li Aozi simply put his hands in his pockets and looked ahead expressionlessly without any reaction.

This was the Tianhuan people's own internal power struggle, and he didn't want to get involved. However, Liu Weimen humiliated his colleague Kim Taixian, and that was not enough, so he came to Li Aozi again and hooked him provocatively.

"Hey, Imperial guy." Liu Weimen pointed at Li Aozi, and then pointed at the exhibition in the distance:

"I know you are not convinced, but I, Yanaemon Shinsuke, am also a person who wants to save face. Today is a party in Kowloon and there is no blood - how about making a bet with me?"

"Not interested in."

"Don't refuse in a hurry." Liu Weimen said angrily: "Our country invites you to be a guest, but you are so perfunctory."

Li Ozi raised his eyebrows:

"none of your business."

"I think you are beautiful, and you must be from a noble family - there are countless treasures in this Kowloon party, but everything has a distinction between high and low, and there is also a gap between the treasures."

Liu Weimen glanced at Li Aozi and murmured in his heart: This guy is actually a beautiful woman with an upright appearance.

But, who makes you a Red Arrow?

He spread his hands and suggested:

"You and I each find 10 treasures and go to the jury to calculate the final value. If you have better eyesight, then I will admit that you did not humiliate the swordsmith of Tianhuan and settle the expenses for you. But if it is me, I will be more affected. Once it's settled, you have to settle the bill for me."

Li Ozi tilted his head:

"You are so ordinary, how can you be so confident?"

"Do you want to compare?" Liu Weimen said sarcastically: "Anyway, for you Red Arrow people, each of you lives in a big villa and drives a V8 engine luxury car. Naturally, you look down on us Tianhuan people who are lacking in resources. It's time."

"Pfft——"

This guy's inexplicable speech made Li Ozi laugh.

"Just be provocative, don't say it so high-sounding." Li Ozi waved his hand: "In that case, just wait and clear the shopping cart for me."

"Haha, blind confidence."

Liu Weimen was overjoyed: He was not just deliberately provoking trouble. The wealth of the Red Arrow man was evident. If he could really kill Li Ozi, it would not only be able to avenge his master, but also provide real benefits. , looking back, if word spreads that you can get the Red Arrows to pay for you, that would be great too.

Gaining both fame and fortune, no matter how you think about it, you are the winner.

What's more, I was already prepared. The frost-plated people I communicated with had already obtained a catalog list of famous swordsmiths. As long as I picked according to their instructions, I would definitely win in terms of total value.

"I will definitely win!"

I went to the hospital for a biochemical check and took a X-ray. As expected, it turned out to be bronchitis.

I’ll start paying off my debt tomorrow and get my update rhythm back.
