Invincible Heroes - Hidden Architect
Chapter 202 The Church and Timely Rain (three in one, thanks to the pirates)
Longgue Port City is always so prosperous.
The road along the street on the west side of the city is always filled with various stalls.
Vendors with better conditions may set up a wooden table or build an awning.
Vendors with poorer conditions put a piece of cloth on the ground and do the same business.
Walking in the west part of Longgue Port City, you can hear the sounds of hawking incessantly.
In Erathia, Longgue Port City is a pearl in the south, but it is a small one.
Northeast of Longgue Port City is Via Port City.
Port City of Via controls the largest canal outlet in Erathia and has the strongest navy in Erathia.
Every year, the tax revenue from passing ships alone is enough to keep the upper class of Via Port City fed, clothed and clothed.
If Via Port City is a pearl as big as a tennis ball, Tonga Port City can only be an egg.
But this still could not stop the civilians near Longbao Port City from crowding towards Longbao Port City.
Every household in Longgue Port City is drying salted fish, and when the sea breeze blows, the salty and wet smell goes straight into the nose.
But this is only in the south of Longgue Port near the sea.
The aristocratic district in the north of Longgue Port City is another scene.
Agave is a specialty of Longgue Port City, a special magical spice.
It has no roots and floats like a sea anemone three meters deep near the sea surface, quietly sucking in the radiance of the sun god.
Every time the tide goes out, agaves wash up on the beach sand.
Finding agave is not easy and requires specialized training.
Agava washed ashore will quickly dry up and dehydrate, and its color will change from emerald green to the same deep yellow as the beach.
It will also quickly produce rhizoids and burrow itself into the sand.
If the farmer who collects the aglossus is not careful enough, he will not notice it even if he steps over it.
Every day, a large number of farmers can be seen "grazing" on the beach in Longgueang City.
They kicked up the sand, which was of the wrong shape and color, and found the agaves half-buried under the sand.
Farmers are always pleasantly surprised every time they harvest something.
A slightly larger aglossus can be exchanged for 12 silver coins in the alchemy workshop in Beicheng District. (One hundred silver and one gold)
Buying wheat noodles for 12 silver coins can feed three adults for three and a half days.
(Normally, the price of a unit of marching rations is 3 to 4 times that of a unit of wheat flour)
Of course, ordinary farmers do not have access to alchemy workshops, so there will be "grass merchants" who charge farmers half the price, which is 6 silver coins.
These "grass merchants" usually have gang backgrounds and are the "gloves" of some nobles in Longgue Port City.
Finely crush agave, and its strong, refreshing fragrance can make anyone who smells it feel refreshed and clear-headed.
Use the leaching solution of aglossus to soak the dried salted fish in the south of the city carefully, and then dry it for another day to make the most famous specialty of Longgai Port City, dried fish with fragrant leaves worth a full 5 gold coins.
In the age of famine, a hero can spend 10 gold coins to buy a farmer to help you through life and death. Of course, he must take care of the food, otherwise he will run away.
Luo Xiang is a coachman, a level 1 and 3 coachman.
Luo Xiang started out as a level 1 farmer, and relied on his ability to collect aglossus to accumulate enough gold coins to advance to a level 2 fisherman.
It took more than a year to save a total of 8 gold coins by getting up early, working hard at night and saving money.
At first, he wanted to save gold coins to buy the tiger girl from the next village.
Unfortunately, by the time he saved enough gold coins, Hu Yatou had already married the hunchback from the next village.
But it doesn't matter, he is no longer the same person as before.
He relied on the gold coins he accumulated to become a level 1 and level 3 coachman, and through his intelligence, he stood out from the crowd of coachmen.
Luo Xiang had a driving license from the North District and rented a luxury carriage. By himself, he could save ten to thirteen silver coins every day.
In just over two months, you can save the wealth that only took a year before.
And, most importantly, now he can commute to the North District every day and breathe in the fragrance of the aglossus in the North District.
Once you have seen the sun, you cannot stand the darkness.
The most uncomfortable thing for Luo Xiang now is getting off work every day and returning to his residence in the South District.
No, it should be said that from the moment he left the North District, the moment the smell of fish rushed into his nose, he couldn't stand it.
If it weren't for the car dealer's regulations, he would even want to sleep on the horse in the North District.
However, these days will soon be over.
Luo Xiang has accumulated enough gold coins, forty-six in total. With four more gold coins, he can try to advance to become a fourth-level city guard spearman.
The City Guard Lancers are a noble combat unit responsible for night patrols in the North District. They can get a separate dormitory in the military camp in the North District!
This is his chance to rise to the top.
The drivers at the dealership were all trying to persuade Tuo Xiang to think carefully. The risk of being a combat soldier was so great that he might be taken by a hero to fight wild monsters and become cannon fodder. Moreover, when monsters attacked the city, he had to be the first to fight against them.
But Luo Xiang thought clearly.
He inquired from the nobles riding in his carriage that the city guard spearmen were a special force for defending the city, and all special skills would only come into play during the battle to defend the city.
Unless the hero has a brain attack, he will never lead the city guard's spearmen out of the city.
As for siege.
This is Longgue Port City!
One of the safest main cities in southern Erathia, it has not been attacked by wild monsters in ten years.
Luo Xiang touched the blue flower on his chest.
It's not that Luo Xiang wants to fight for his life. He is married and has a child.
His wife is a fisherwoman he met when he was a fisherman. She just gave birth to a fat boy for him a while ago and is short of money.
He had calculated that if he could become a city guard spearman, as long as he could live peacefully for five years, he would be able to save the gold coins to advance to level 5.
If by luck he starts the path of a hero and becomes a hero, then he can be like those nobles.
My not-beautiful but considerate wife and young son no longer have to suffer.
Thinking of a better life in the future, Luo Xiang made a big mistake.
He diverted the luxurious carriage onto a road dedicated to the church.
"Get off!!!"
"Hey!!"
A loud roar made Luo Xiang's horse stand up in fright, raise its hooves high, and start running.
Luo Xiang broke into a cold sweat and quickly used his own special skills to calm the horse.
But it was too late.
"There's an assassin!"
"Saint Protector!"
It’s over!
Luo Xiang's heart dropped.
Blood spills into the sky.
It's not Luo Xiang's, but Luo Xiang would rather it be his.
The huge horse was cut in two by the 4th and 5th level Holy Guards. The Holy Guards flew up and kicked the horse.
The carriage, which was as big as a small car, turned over and Luo Xiang was thrown to the ground. His arm was rubbed against the rough white stone ground and a large gash was created.
Luo Xiang felt burning pain from his shoulder blades to his big arms, and some small rough stones were embedded in his flesh.
But he didn't care. He turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowing vigorously.
Bang! His head hit the white stone, as if he wanted to smash his head into pieces, lest the sound wasn't loud enough.
I can't die. What will they do if I die? They are still waiting for me.
Regardless of the buzzing in his head, Luo Xiang used all his strength to shout:
"Holy Angel! I am not an assassin! The horse is frightened!
Holy angels above! The horse was frightened.
I'm not an assassin! "
Luo Xiang wanted to raise his head and kowtow again, but he failed to raise his head halfway and his head was stepped on.
The Holy Guards stepped on Luo Xiang's head with heavy white fine iron boots, pressed his entire face on the white stone, raised the sword with angel wings on the handle, and placed it on Luo Xiang's head. on the neck.
"You mean it's not true? Tell me honestly, who ordered you to assassinate the Saint? Are you a spy of Kerrigan (Hell)?"
Luo Xiang's face was pressed against the white stone, and his nose bones felt like they were broken. His chin and lips were pressed against the rough white stone, and he could not open them at all. He could only exhale and purr.
"Hmph, the spy is quite brave and he didn't say anything yet, then I'll send you on your way!"
The Holy Guards raised their heavy swords and prepared to cut down.
"Gurg, grunt, grunt!" Luo Xiang's body shook violently and he tried his best. His chin and lips were bruised by the white stone, and he could only let out a desperate whimper.
"enough!"
The wind pressure of the giant sword seemed to pierce the coarse cloth on Luo Xiang's back, and the hairs all over his body stood up.
A priest holding a book in his hand and wearing a high hat looked at Tuo Xiang who was stepped on by the Holy Guards, and said to the Holy Guards:
"The Holy Lady is kind-hearted and can't bear to see this.
Let go and stop scaring him. "
"yes!"
The Holy Guard raised his feet and carried the giant sword behind his back.
frighten?
Luo Xiang felt the painful blood marks on his back, and felt panic and panic in his heart.
Is this a scare? If you didn't say anything, I would have died.
But Luo Xiang didn't dare to say anything. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if he were pounding garlic. He didn't even dare to raise his head a little and look at the boots that trampled his face.
He didn't make a sound, nor did he ask for mercy again.
Luo Xiang knew that nothing he said was of any use. Opposite was the Holy Angel Church, and if they wanted to kill him, it would be no more difficult than squeezing an ant to death.
For the sake of his family, he couldn't die.
Now, the only hope is the saint. Only the saint sees him as pitiful and can she give him alms to survive.
"High Priest, after checking it, it's just an ordinary carriage."
examine?
Luo Xiang then recalled that when he was lying on the ground just now, there was the sound of wooden boards being smashed.
Has your carriage been "inspected"?
Luo Xiang's heart was cold, his blood was cold, and his hands and feet were cold.
He was like an emotionless machine, kowtowing all the time.
"Bang, bang, bang"
The high priest walked to the carriage and opened a corner of the carriage's curtain.
The high priest nodded three times, came back, and said loudly: "The Holy Lady speaks!"
In an instant, all the priests and crusaders present, including the Holy Crusaders in front of God Luo Xiang, stood solemnly.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Only the ignorant Luo Xiang continued to kowtow, which seemed particularly harsh in the silence.
But he soon realized something was wrong and stopped quickly, motionless.
The high priest glanced at Luo Xiang with disgust and continued:
"The Holy Lady said.
Inadvertent mistakes should not be severely punished!
The Archangel once became a mortal and was scolded by the Crusaders in the army.
The Archangel never criticized the Crusaders.
Because the Crusaders had no intention of scolding the Archangel.
He had no intention of attacking the church and should not be punished. "
"The words of the saint! They are the holy words!
The words of an angel! That is the word of God! "
It sounded like he was saved. But Luo Xiang's hands and feet were shaking and he could hardly kneel down.
He finally realized who he was bumping into.
There is only one saint in the entire Longgue Port City.
The legendary hero Adela.
That is the supreme power with greater power than the city lord. Even the city lord who is also a legend must be under her jurisdiction.
He could only silently hope that this scene was not seen by other nobles in the North District.
Otherwise, a very tragic fate will be waiting for you.
"The Holy Lady is kind-hearted. I'll spare your life. I'll count you lucky and clean up the area."
I don't know who said something near Luo Xiang, and then the sound of carriages and heavy armor stepping on the ground sounded.
Luo Xiang waited until the sound was almost gone before he knelt and raised his head.
The horses lying in a pool of blood and the luxurious carriage that had been dismantled finally crushed Luo Xiang, and he lay weakly on the ground.
The crisis of death has just passed, and the suffering of life follows one after another.
Whether it's a horse or a carriage, it's all rented and you have to pay for it.
A small horse with more than a dozen gold coins cannot move a large cart.
A tall horse that can pull such a large cart costs 60 gold coins, and a luxury carriage that pulls nobles costs close to 200 gold coins.
A total of 260 gold coins!
Luo Xiang's dream was shattered.
The review at the military camp will reveal that he once collided with the troops of the Saint, the legendary hero Adela. Even if he successfully transferred to the city guard spearman, no military camp would dare to accept him.
260 gold coins.
If he could continue to drive a carriage in the North District and the whole family would not eat or drink, it would take at least 5 years to pay off the debt.
But this is only in theory.
The car dealer will calculate the interest for itself, plus the normal household expenses.
Luo Xiang couldn't figure it out clearly, but he knew it for a lifetime.
This money may have to be paid back for a lifetime.
Moreover, after such a big accident, it was unavoidable that the car dealer would not rent a carriage to him again.
He could only go to the Chamber of Commerce and ride a long-distance carriage, risking his life in exchange for money.
I owe so much debt and have to leave home. Will my wife and children be bullied?
What if I die?
Will the car dealer force my wife to pay off the debt I have paid off?
Just one mistake, one unconscious collision, and Luo Xiang was forced into a desperate situation.
All the efforts in the past were in vain, and the miserable life in the future was certain.
For a moment, he had mixed feelings, and Luo Xiang finally couldn't hold back his tears, flowing out from the corners of his eyes, irritating the wounds on his chin and lips.
Bloody pain.
"Yeah. This horse has good meat quality."
Luo Xiang's heart skipped a beat when he heard a voice behind him.
It’s over, people from Beicheng District saw it!
He turned his head hastily.
A white cloak was draped over the man, and the hood covered his face, shrouding his face in shadow.
This dazzling white color is exactly the same as the color of the angel wings emblem of Holy Angel Church.
Could it be that the people of Holy Angel Church regretted it and wanted to kill them all?
"No! No! No!
Please, have mercy on me, I can't die! "
Luo Xiang shed tears, got up, and wanted to kowtow.
He didn't knock down.
A pair of strong hands placed under his head and lifted his head.
"No need to do this, it's just a purchase. You don't have to be afraid."
The other party's voice sounded hoarse and pleasant. Luo Xiang had never heard such a pleasant voice in his life.
Even the delicate voice of the tiger girl who came to his village when he was a child was not as nice as this one.
shopping? buy what? Buy my life?
Does he mean that if I don't ask for mercy, I will die anyway.
Qi Ge lifted Luo Xiang's head and helped him sit down.
Qi Ge straightened up, patted Luo Xiang on the shoulder, and pointed at the horse that was cut in two.
"A medium-sized variegated draft horse with uneven patterns and a bit old. It's between 41 and 45 gold coins. If you bargain, you can get it for 30 gold coins. If it's dead, it's 15 gold coins."
Hearing the gold coins, Luo Xiang's heart became sensitive.
It's this price, but the car dealer won't calculate it like this. They will only compensate themselves for the highest 60 gold coins. From this person's perspective, do you want to buy it?
And such a good thing!
Luo Xiang's cold heart felt a surge of heat again, as if it was beating again.
Although the value of a dead horse is far less than that of a live horse, it can be sold for some money and the debt can be slightly reduced.
no!
Luo Xiang suddenly thought that this horse was the horse he had collided with the church. If he sold it to him, it might implicate him.
But if you can sell it for 15 gold coins, you can save at least five or six years of debt repayment.
What should I do?
The confusion in Luo Xiang's heart only lasted a few seconds.
As soon as Qi Ge helped him up, Luo Xiang felt that he must not cheat Qi Ge.
"My lord, I cannot sell this horse to you."
Qi Ge looked at him, did not answer, and continued talking on his own.
"Although it's a dead horse, I need it urgently, so I can add 20 gold coins.
This horse has already been killed for me, saving me the effort and adding 10 gold coins.
The meat is firm and looks very appetizing, so I added 20 gold coins.
The total is 65 gold coins. What do you think? "
The sound of nature.
To Luo Xiang, Qi Ge's voice seemed to come from the horizon.
It was the first time Luo Xiang saw someone bargaining like this, and the more he bargained, the more he bargained.
But Luo Xiang can be sure that the other party is definitely not a fool without a brain.
As for the comments and quotations the other party just made about their draft horses, ordinary people would not be able to access them at all.
As a coachman who has been working for two or three years, I only vaguely know something about it.
He is helping me.
Luo Xiang understood, but felt even more guilty.
"Sir, I really cannot sell this horse to you. I just broke into the church. Buying this horse may cause you trouble."
Luo Xiang didn't know where he got the courage to say this. He was about to drown. A life-saving straw was handed to him, but he wanted to push it away.
Qi Ge still talked to himself as if he hadn't heard Luo Xiang's words.
"Well, to eat roasted horse meat, you also need some firewood and wood as a shelf."
Qi Ge pointed to the luxurious carriage behind the horses.
“This is good.
Good dry firewood, and blankets to support the burning.
There is even an incense burner, where you can smoke the horsehide while roasting the horsemeat.
That gives me a total of 220 gold coins, and including the horses, I get a total of 285 gold coins.
I don't like change, so I'll just give it 300 gold coins.
I didn't buy it cheaper for you. Otherwise, sell it to me? "
Luo Xiang understood, he knew.
He knows everything, but he still wants to help himself.
Even when he had just faced despair, Luo Xiang only shed a few tears, but at this time, he couldn't stop crying.
He plopped down and knelt at Qi Ge's feet, wailing as if he wanted to vent all his strength.
"My lord! Ooooh! My lord!"
Woo woo, your kindness, woo woo, my life is all yours. "
Qi Ge helped him up and said, "Level 3 NPC troops, even the logistics troops, are worth 80 gold coins. Don't sell yourself cheap."
"What do you mean, did you sell the horse and carriage?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Don't just cry. Do you want to sell it? If you want to sell it, just nod. If not, I can leave."
Luo Xiang used up the remaining strength and nodded crazily as if he wanted to shake his head off.
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for accepting the task: purchasing Luo Xiang’s horse and carriage]
Qi Ge raised the corners of his mouth under his hood, lined up 300 gold coins in front of Luo Xiang, turned around, waved his hand, and the horses and carriage disappeared.
"I see that your carriage has the emblem of Vanilla Cars on it. You should be renting this carriage.
If you can't explain it to your boss, tell your boss that I forcibly bought this carriage and horse for 230 gold coins.
I'm a hero, you can't say no.
If your boss wants to pursue it, ask him to come to me with this. "
Qi Ge handed Luo Xiang a flag with seven white doves drawn on it.
While Luo Xiang was receiving the flag, Qi Ge helped him up again and bent down to pick up the blue Nalan flower.
Blue flowers and red flowers can be seen everywhere in Erathia, but in Longgue Port City, they have a special meaning.
Becoming a father for the first time.
The blue ones hold blue flowers to represent boys, and the red ones hold red flowers to represent girls.
Qigejiang took the blue flower and pinned it on Luo Xiang's chest again, and then released several healing spells to heal all the wounds on Luo Xiang's body, and even the stones in Luo Xiang's wounds were removed.
Luo Xiang wanted to express his gratitude very much, but the repeated stimulation of joy and sorrow made him cry until he could not speak.
"Wear it after wearing it. If the clothes are torn, go buy a new one. Don't let your wife worry."
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Benefactor, you wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”
"My name is Qi Ge, the president of the Timely Rain Chamber of Commerce. If anything happens, come to me at the Champs Elysees Hotel in the North District.
I will probably live there during this time. "
Qi Ge patted Luo Xiang on the shoulder and turned around to return to the team.
Luo Xiang looked at a dozen handsome knights riding on horses, all wearing military badges on their chests. They were all heroes!
The leading hero held a long, large flag with seven white doves painted on it.
And the horses of the dozen or so heroes are all the best solid-colored war horses, each worth more than five thousand gold.
Luo Xiang watched Qi Ge walk back to the team. A dozen heroes all dismounted and led their horses to follow behind him.
Watch Qige leave surrounded by a group of heroes.
Luo Xiang knelt down solemnly and kowtowed three times slowly in the direction Qi Ge left.
His movements were very light, and there was no sound when his head hit the ground, but every time he hit it, his heart hit the ground.
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for accepting the task: purchasing Luo Xiang’s horse and carriage]
[System prompt: Luo Xiang’s favorability towards you is +30, currently 30 (friendly)]
[System prompt: Luo Xiang’s favorability towards you is +30, currently 60 (grateful)]
[System prompt: Luo Xiang’s favorability towards you is +30, currently 90 (a great favor is as heavy as a mountain)]
"Master Seven Pigeons! How is it?"
Meteor led the horse, held up the flag, and approached Qi Ge, asking in a low voice.
Qi Ge pretended not to care and glanced at the corner not far away. A small corner was exposed at the hem of a nun's monastic uniform.
Qi Ge was so familiar with the nun's monastic uniform that he would not recognize it even if it turned into ashes.
So Qi Ge raised his eyebrows and typed four words in the team channel:
"all the best."
PS: I’ve been waiting for a long time, I’m afraid it’s broken and may make it uncomfortable for everyone.
