Everyone understood the reason for the general's wife's refusal.

A place that the front-line guardians could attack for countless years without being able to penetrate must be full of dangers and terror.

Even if you want to sneak in secretly, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

The general's wife looked at Lao Tang and Jin Zheng with a serious face: "As a wife, I naturally hope that my husband can be safe and sound, hope that he can recover, stand up again, and go to battle to kill the enemy again. But because he is alone , to sacrifice many other people, this is not okay, it cannot be like this.”

"Madam..." Lao Tang wanted to say something else.

"There is no need to say any more, there is no need to discuss this matter again." The general's wife shook her head firmly: "If he knew, he would not agree to this matter."

As she spoke, she sighed softly and said, "For the two missing materials, we can think of other ways."

Lao Tang and Jin Zheng couldn't help but sigh, thinking that except for the sphere of influence of the Tianhe creatures, there was no other place at all, so what other solutions could they think of?

The general's wife whispered: "I know a place where we may be able to trade the materials we need."

"Where?" Lao Tang asked.

Jin Zheng had a thoughtful look on his face and hesitated to speak.

The general's wife said: "Black market."

"Black... black market..." After hearing this, Lao Tang showed a tangled look on his face and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I'm afraid the general won't agree to that place, right?"

The general's wife shook her head: "He is not that old-fashioned. Besides, the black market has existed since ancient times and was not created by the creatures of Tianhe."

Bai Muye later learned what the black market was.

The front station is the mainland, where thousands of races gather, and each race has its own specialties.

But the exchanges between these races from ancient times to the present are actually not much.

Although everyone is the same guardian, they basically associate with the same race.

The tradable demand is real.

In order to solve this problem, in very ancient times, someone established a place called the black market.

Here, no matter which race you are, you can conduct various transactions openly or covertly. In some cases, a broker can even handle the transaction for both parties without meeting in person.

After the Tianhe creatures gradually formed a force and took root in Qianzhan Continent, the Tianhe creatures who also had various trading needs gradually integrated into the black market.

In the beginning, no one would want to do their business. Not only would they not do it, but as soon as they were discovered, a war would immediately begin.

But gradually, this rule was broken.

Because there are some hard needs, there is no solution other than trading with the creatures of Tianhe.

Therefore, these two sworn enemy groups have formed an unwritten "hidden rule" in a place like the black market.

There are brokers who specialize in handling such transactions.

But despite this, many people still despise trading with the Tianhe Creatures, a generational enemy.

Emotionally, everyone can't accept it.

"I think it's not a bad idea if we can get the materials we need in this way." After listening to the introduction to the black market, Bai Muye said to Jin Zheng and Lao Tang: "After all, our purpose is to cure the general. , After the general recovers, he will definitely return to the front line to fight against the enemy. Therefore, our fundamental goal is to kill those Tianhe creatures."

"What you said makes sense. We are a bit narrow-minded." Lao Tang nodded.

Jin Zheng still looked a little confused.

Bai Muye looked at him and asked, "Brother Jin, are all the creatures in Tianhe evil?"

"Does that need to be said? They came from the outside world, crawled out along the Tianhe River, invaded our world, and killed wantonly. Over the years, there has never been an exception! So don't use human thinking to speculate on the temperament of the creatures in the Tianhe River. This There is no such thing as kindness in a tribe," Jin Zheng said very firmly.

The general's wife nodded aside: "Yes, that's true. The evil deeds of the creatures in Tianhe are too numerous to describe, so under normal circumstances, no one would think of doing business with them."

"In any case, our purpose is also for the general to recover," Lao Tang said from the side, "I am willing to go to the black market in exchange for this material!"

"There's no rush. Let's ask the broker about this first. If there are really the materials we need, then... I will go there myself!" said the general's wife.

"Madam, you can't go..."

Jin Zheng and Lao Tang spoke in unison and opened their mouths to stop him.

"I'm afraid you people have already been on the blacklist of the Tianhe creatures. It would be most suitable for me to trade with them." This middle-aged woman with a gentle temperament became serious, with an aura that could not be rejected. .

Then the general's wife arranged a sumptuous dinner to entertain the group of young people.

She also heard more about this group of young people from the human race from the three major empires from Jin Zheng and Lao Tang, and she thought highly of these young people.

After all, those who can confront the gods head-on are always admirable.

In this way, the general's wife quietly left Hongmaple City, while Lao Tang and Jin Zheng stayed here.

Lao Tang also brought over the two children who he thought had good talents to learn various talisman and seal skills with Bai Muye.

Although they are said to be children, they are actually quite young, and are older than classmate Xiaobai.

A young girl named Xie Shuang, 23 years old, and a young man named Zhou Wu, 24 years old.

Both of them are in the realm of advanced talisman seal masters and have their own understanding of talisman seal art.

At first, Xie Shuang and Zhou Wu were a little distrustful of Xiaobai, an overly good-looking young man.

Even if they heard Lao Tang and Xiao Bai calling them Master Bai, they were somewhat disapproving of them.

In their opinion, this young man who was too good-looking was not qualified to teach them at all.

Although he didn't question it, the look between his eyebrows was full of doubts.

Xiao Bai didn't give them too many opportunities to do anything. After all, he had a good impression of the guardians standing here.

Xie Shuang and Zhou Wu almost knelt down on the spot after showing their hands neatly.

This is why it is said that the people standing here are pure.

Everyone's attitude toward capable people is surprisingly consistent.

In the following days, Bai Muye taught Lao Tang and the two young men various talisman and seal skills every day.

All kinds of talisman and seal skills, including the talisman medicine category, are not hidden.

If Xiao Bai can save more guardians through medical talisman and seal skills in the future, Xiao Bai's hard work will be in vain.

Lin Zijin and a group of people went to the city every day to wander around. It only took them two or three days from being unfamiliar with him to gradually getting used to it.

I have to say that there are really a lot of good things in Red Maple City!

There are so many things that these three empire people have never seen before.

Likewise, there are many things about them that people here on the mainland have never heard of.

So all kinds of transactions happened naturally.

Everyone in Red Maple City also knew the origins of this group of young people, but although they were curious, there was no such scene of excessive crowding.

There are often some children following Lin Zijin and other beautiful ladies.

Lin Zijin and others would often take out some candies and give them to these children.

In just a few days, their reputation has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Red Maple City.

The people here are also particularly friendly to this group of young outsiders.

Lin Zijin even found several metals here that could improve the quality of the big knife in her hand!

If these metals were obtained from the three major empires, it would definitely cause a huge sensation and drive the blacksmiths from blacksmithing families like the Great Song Family crazy.

But here, Brother Lin didn’t even put in any effort and got a lot by almost half selling and half giving away.

"It's a pity that we don't have a powerful weapon refiner among us. How about I learn it myself?" After Lin Zijin got these rare metals, he said to Bai Muye a little depressed because he couldn't use them immediately to improve the quality of the sword.

"I think this idea is quite good, and you can learn from it." Xiaobai certainly encouraged and supported Lin Zijin's somewhat whimsical idea.

So, Lin Zijin actually went to a weapons store in Red Maple City to learn from his master.

I don’t know how she told people, but the chief blacksmith of the weapons shop, who was extremely strict in accepting apprentices, actually agreed to teach her how to make weapons!

Ten days later, everyone still could not wait for the return of the general's wife, and everyone began to worry.

However, Lao Tang and Jin Zheng were quite calm. Looking at Bai Muye who came to inquire, Jin Zheng said: "The black market is very far away from here. Even with my strength, I don't have ten days and a half to get back from there."

Bai Muye nodded, and then went to sort out the general's meridians.

These days, he would come over every day to use some purification charms on the general, and then chat with the general for a while.

I learned a lot of information about the front station continent from the general.

The general was indeed not that kind of rotten person, and he agreed with his wife's personal search for those two materials on the black market.

"What should be sad at that time is the group of Tianhe creatures. Using their materials, we finally killed them. Isn't this a good thing?"

The general is actually a very funny and humorous person. He also entered the three empires when he was young.

"I have been to the Holy Empire and the Zulong Empire. What impressed me most at that time was the prosperity of the human world and the brilliant technological civilization. Unfortunately, that kind of civilization is difficult to achieve here in the front station world, because this place , war is the eternal theme.”

Bai Muye asked the general where the creatures in Tianhe came from.

It's said to be outside the territory, but isn't the entire universe one?

"It's not what you think. This universe is filled with countless different planes. In fact, haven't you noticed that the world you are standing here in front of is no longer the same plane as the world of the three empires?"

The general's speaking energy was much stronger than the previous days, and his energy seemed to be very good.

He looked at Bai Muye and said with a smile: "The world is so big and full of wonders. The creatures in the river are creatures from another plane. We are not biased... In fact, the world in front of us is the most unbiased place. !”

Bai Muye agreed with this.

After all, this huge continent has been populated by thousands of races since ancient times.

The general said: "The creatures of Tianhe are born with bloodlust and killing. Whether they are intelligent creatures or non-intelligent creatures, they are all the same. For countless years, we have never seen any exception."

"Has no one ever entered the Tianhe River to see where they come from?" Bai Muye asked.

"The dangers of the Tianhe River are beyond our imagination!" The general said with a bitter smile: "Countless predecessors have done what you said, but without exception, no one has come back."

"So we can only passively wait for the creatures of Tianhe to crawl out from there? Tianhe is the frontline battlefield, and here... is the second battlefield?" Bai Muye asked.

"Yes," the general nodded and sighed, "If there was a way to cut off the roots of all life in Tianhe once and for all, it would definitely be a death without regrets. After all, no one anywhere would like eternity. In a state of war."

This is quite true.

No one is born to be a guardian, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting all races.

Just like the innocent children in Red Maple City, which is full of red maple trees, they should also enjoy a happy childhood like the children of the three empires.

The people here should live the life they want just like those in the three empires.

The reality is that the people standing here are in a state of war all year round; the three major empires are also shrouded in the dark clouds of the Gods.

In comparison, the situation on the human side of the three major empires is better than here.

"So what you want to change is all of this?"

Lin Zijin and Wenjun were sitting side by side by the pond, watching Bai Muye sitting there fishing, Lin Zijin asked Wenjun.

"The places I wanted to change before did not include this place, because at that time, I didn't know these things," Wenjun Youyou, still wearing a mask, said, "There are many unexplainable things in my inherited memories. I have wanted to change all this since I was a child, but unfortunately it is too difficult to achieve with my ability. But now, I see hope!”

Wenjun said with a faint smile in his eyes.

She turned her head and glanced at Lin Zijin: "Because I met you!"

"Hehe, that's right!" Lin Zijin was a little proud.

"You don't understand how excited I was when we escaped from the territory of the three empires and entered this plane!" Wenjun said: "Because I finally got rid of the surveillance of those old guys. Even if they finally They can figure out where I went, but when they find the front station world..."

Wenjun said, unable to help but sneer softly.

Lin Zijin said: "It's strange that they can find it!"

"Not only that, the realm and combat power of those old guys who came back from the dead have not been restored at all. When they come to this place and find that there are emperor-level creatures everywhere, they will also have a headache." Wen Jun said He couldn't help but laugh happily.

Bai Muye, who was sitting by the water, asked: "Those old guys who are monitoring you, have they all lived from ancient times to today?"

"Yeah." Wenjun hummed softly, and then said: "But I can't say too much, otherwise they will sense it, and I can't mention their names easily. They are different from today's emperor-level creatures. They all once Stand higher."

Lin Zijin hummed softly, and Bai Muye nodded. He raised the fishing rod in his hand, and he caught a slender fish that was more than a foot long and covered with silver.

The fish was full of energy and struggled desperately, but could not escape.

Classmate Xiaobai happily threw the fish into a bucket next to him. There were already dozens of fish in it.

This pond is not big, but it has a lot of fish. There is a legend that this pond is connected to a huge underground river. Many fish swim upstream from the underground river. I don’t know whether it is true or not.

Anyway, this kind of slender whitebait tastes very delicious. They had tasted it on the first day they came to Red Maple City.

In the evening, several people happily walked back carrying buckets.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the General's Mansion, he heard a panic inside.

Several people looked at each other and walked quickly inside.

As soon as she entered the inner courtyard, she was immediately startled by the scene in front of her. The general's wife, who was usually gentle but mighty in critical moments, was covered in blood. Facing the large group of people from the palace who came out, she forced herself to wave to everyone.

The moment Xiaobai and the others came in, the general's wife softened and fell to the ground.

"What's wrong with you, madam?"

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

"Madam, wake up!"

The group of people in the General's Mansion are all a bit hairy.

Jin Zheng and Lao Tang separated from the crowd with serious faces. Lao Tang used the healing charm he had just learned to give his wife a simple treatment, with an extremely solemn look on his face.

Let alone him, even the healing talisman made by Xiaobai could only cure a god-level injury at most. It was almost powerless to face an emperor-level general's wife.

But Bai Muye still used a few on the general's wife.

After all, his healing charms were of much higher quality than those drawn by Lao Tang, a beginner.

The general's wife was carried into the house, and then she woke up, looked at everyone, and said helplessly: "My identity was discovered, and the other party terminated the transaction. After I realized that something was wrong, I ran away as soon as possible, but I was still targeted. Don't worry, I won't die."

Jin Zheng's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, who is it?"

This is the first time Bai Muye has seen Jin Zheng calling the general's wife sister-in-law, which shows that his emotions are in an extremely explosive state at the moment.

The general's wife lying on the bed smiled bitterly and said: "That broker betrayed us for some reason."

"Did you tell him the truth?" Jin Zheng asked.

The general's wife sighed: "The broker was also introduced by a friend, so I told the truth. We are all humans, and this should not happen. As a result, the other person who wanted to trade with me happened to be injured that year. The people on my husband’s side…”

"Damn it!" Jin Zheng looked ferocious.

Lao Tang was beside him and his chest was heaving violently with anger.

No one expected this to happen.

Under normal circumstances, a broker who is also a human race should not do such a thing under any circumstances.

Not to mention that the broker itself should remain neutral, the customs of the former station are completely different from those of the three empires.

So no matter Lao Tang or Jin Zheng, no one could accept the broker's betrayal.

The key is that the general's search for those two materials was exposed!

The forces on the Tianhe Creatures side will definitely be on guard and will never allow those two materials to flow out again.

As mortal enemies for generations, it would be absolutely impossible for those intelligent Tianhe creatures to be able to release those two materials.

This is the most troublesome thing.

"It's all my fault, I trusted the other party too much." The general's wife blamed herself.

Jin Zheng said with a serious face: "Sister-in-law, don't say that. For countless years, this kind of traitor has not appeared in the world before us. Sooner or later, we will deal with him! But now our top priority is to heal your injuries; No matter what, we must get those two materials!”
