The Descendants of Wudang In Another World

Chapter 188: Stealing Stones (Part 2)

Perhaps the desert people have gradually become accustomed to the psychological impact of grassland and rain, and Bagamoyo has become prosperous again. It is worthy of the title of slave city. Even if it is approaching night, the slave market here is still very hot. Here, Zhang Hao saw the most horrible scene of the slave trade in history. On the street, all the female slaves in the desert are arrayed on both sides of the street like an army, and they can be selected. On each side of the street, there were three rows of female slaves standing far away, all the way to the end of the road. There is not a slave trader guarding them nearby, and they dare not run away. The slavery law of the Izubian country is very cruel. If a female slave runs away, all women in the family will be sentenced to death.

They hung a small wooden sign around their necks. They wrote down their age, weight, height, measurements, price, which slave trade group they belonged to, address of their parents, whether they were still virgins, etc., and then quietly waited for the buyer's information. advent. At the end of the street, there are many large iron boxes with the emblems and titles of most of the slave groups in the city. After the buyer selected the female slave, he took her here, and put the coins and the wooden plaque on the female slave together according to the female slave's worth, and the transaction was considered complete.

Generally speaking, no one will give less or not give money, because the slave business association transfers 1/3 of the female slave’s worth to the female slave’s parents. Her parents, even aristocrats, cannot be spared this money. This is the only bit of warmth in the cruel slavery laws of the desert peoples. Therefore, every female slave urged the ‘current’ master to pay. If someone dared to do things unruly like this, as long as the female slave yelled, all the female slaves around would surround you, and they would drown you with saliva. When the ‘city management’ team arrives upon hearing the news, those who break the rules will be heavily fined, generally speaking. The fines are 10 times the value of female slaves, and 1/2 of them belong to the city management team. One quarter goes to the slave trader, and one quarter goes to the slave's parents.

Most of the nearby buyers are using extremely indecent methods to check the'quality' of the female slaves. Looking at their pairs of numb, calm and indifferent eyes, Lis'er scolds people angrily: "These **** dark skins are smelly. Men, they actually acted on their own female tribes like this. They have no humanity at all. There are these stupid women. Why don't you resist? Why are you willing to be at the mercy of these nasty men? Damn it, the more you look at it, the more angry you are, Ali, you can't follow them. "

What's wrong with me. Zhang Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly. A country has different customs and perspectives, so the understanding of things is also different. In other countries. Women's chastity and loyalty and love are very important, but there is no corresponding word in the language of the desert kingdom.

There are many weapons forging shops opened by dwarves in the desert. Isubians like scimitar weapons very much. It is very easy for dwarves to make money by opening weapons here, and it is in this country. The status of dwarves is very high, and ordinary dwarf blacksmiths can be compared with lower nobles.

Amidst the resentment that Lisi'er continued along the way, Zhang Hao stepped into a dwarf weapon shop, and two short and fat desert women immediately came out to greet the guests. Their looks were really not flattering. The vision of the dwarves is very different from that of ordinary humans. In their eyes, these two women should be very difficult to see beauty. Zhang Hao speculated maliciously.

"You, your lord, what kind of weapon do you need?" The dwarf boss heard the sound and saw that Zhang Hao was not a local resident. Obviously stunned. Very few guests from outside the desert people have entered the shop.

The dwarf looked very young, and there was no apprentice to follow. Moreover, his vision was a little divergent, far behind the old dwarf in Torres. Zhang Hao gave a general ritual in the mainland: "Hello, dwarf foundry master, I heard that nobles are very researching on ores, I came to ask about the appearance and function of the two ores of Dalshi and Huangshi."

The dwarves have three deadly hobbies, casting weapons, drinking ale, and exploring minerals. When they heard that Zhang Hao came to inquire about the characteristics of the stone, the young dwarf suddenly felt like a friend: "The stone is on top, you are asking the right question. People, our dwarves are the race that knows minerals best in the entire continent."

The young dwarves danced and talked about the appearance and features of Dalshi and Huangshi mines and their functions in casting. Zhang Hao became more suspicious as he listened to them. Finally, he interrupted the dwarf and asked: "Your Excellency Dwarf, are you still in your shop? I have these two minerals, and I want to buy some back."

"Excuse me, sir." The dwarf looked embarrassed: "Although these two kinds of ores are very common, they are in low demand in casting, and there are not many stocks in the store to sell, but I can give some to you."

"Thank you so much." Zhang Hao saluted him.

The dwarf hopped back to the warehouse, took out two small stones from the inside and handed them over. Zhang Hao took it and looked at it carefully for a while, then put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, and immediately concluded that these two ores are definitely high-content saltpeter. And sulfur ore. Black powder! Zhang Hao's expression was not very good. Now he can be sure of the purpose of collecting these things by the masters of these two necromancers. If this thing is made on a large scale or used with magic, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Ali, what's the matter with you?" Lisi'er found something wrong with Zhang Hao.

Asked for some more black charcoal from the dwarf, Zhang Hao expressed his gratitude and left. When he went outside, the sky was completely dark. He did not directly answer Lisi's question, but went out outside the city and looked for it. In a remote place with no one, use internal force to pat all three things into powder, pick out a handful of each, and mix them together at a ratio of 75% nitrate, 10% sulfur, and 15% charcoal. Because the content of the ore is not 100%, the black powder produced in this way is not pure, and the explosive power is very weak.

"What are you doing? Is this alchemy?" Lisi asked strangely.

Zhang Hao dropped his lichen corner and wrapped the black powder. Said into the air: "Lisi'er, you opened an earth magic enchantment nearby, I want to try this thing's power against the magic land."

"Okay, what's the name of this thing? What's the effect?" Lisi's hand waved up an earthen wall, Zhang Hao put the packet of black powder on it, returned it, and pointed and said, "You use flames to put the cloth on that cloth. The bun is lit. Hurry up."

A small blue flame flew to the top of the wall, and the newly prepared black powder exploded with a crisp bang. Immediately afterwards, the woman screamed ‘ah’, which looked particularly abrupt in the silent night. Lis'er didn't expect that small packet of dark things could make such a loud noise, which sounded almost like a small explosive fire bomb.

The magical earth wall was broken by a big gap, and Lisi's eyes were shocked. Although she only casts the most common earth wall technique, she is also a great wizard-level earth mage anyway. The hardness of this earth wall is comparable to that of steel, but it was blown up by this small black thing with such a big hole. Not only does this thing sound comparable to a small explosive fire bomb, it is not weaker than a big magician-level one. It exploded.

Zhang Hao looked at the gap that could be nearly half a meter, and his brows tightened.

"Ali, I didn't expect that you are still proficient in alchemy, and you can use such a simple material to be able to use such a powerful blaster. It seems that the textbook of alchemy has to be rewritten again." The curiosity and scientific research of the magician began to explode. . Lisi'er pestered Zhang Hao and asked, "This is a major discovery in the magic world. Can you tell me the material composition and magic principles of this kind of alchemy? Combining it with engraving, I will make it the most convenient and powerful in the whole continent. A powerful scroll of instantaneous blasting bullets."

Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "This is not the alchemy of the magical world. There is no magic in it. It is just a simple mixture of some substances, but because of the interaction, it can produce some changes that ordinary people can't imagine."

"Not alchemy?" Lis'er also reacted from excitement: "That's right, you didn't use the magic circle just now, no matter what, you must teach me this novel material reorganization technique."

"I'll talk about it later, I have to do an experiment." Zhang Hao mixed the remaining three materials together in proportions, and reconstituted a black powder, which was more than three times larger than the previous one. He looked around and found a bumpy mound at random. Put the gunpowder on. Stepped back a few meters, and made a fire position towards Lisi'er.

The explosion of black powder shook Lis'er's ears. The sound was much louder than the last time, the gunpowder dissipated, and only a small gap was blown in the mound. Lis'er wondered: "What's the matter, this time the weight of the land is much more than before, and the soil is also very soft, why is there only a little bit of destructive power."

Zhang Hao sternly said: "The main ingredients in these ores are not pure. The'gunpowder' that was prepared twice just now is not in perfect proportion. Only possessing this power is normal, but why does it cause damage to your magical soil wall? Such a devastation?"

"Does this weird formula have the same effect as your grudge, devouring magical elements?"

Zhang Hao cautiously said: "I think we should do a few more experiments, and then it will not be too late to make a judgment."

Lisi'er immediately agreed that for a magician, there is nothing more pleasant than learning new things. The two of them went around the city and got a lot of materials back. After nearly 30 experiments, they found that the black powder’s neutral magic was surprisingly restrained. The moment it exploded, it produced The sound waves can fundamentally destroy the structure of the five elements of terroir, water, heat and electricity, and restore them to the most primitive magic molecules. But what is even more surprising is that black powder has very little effect on the two energies of light and darkness.

"It's the nemesis of the magician. This thing is simple to make and low in cost. If it is mass-produced, and it is added in sufficient quantity, tied to a fire arrow, and shot with a heavy crossbow, even our magician will not be able to bear it." Lisi'er hit After a shudder, she had imagined a situation where a civilian used this new substance to shoot the wizard down from the air.

"So the magician must be omnipotent, and no matter how bad it is, there should be some kind of light or dark magic enchantment, which is used to resist the explosive attack of black powder. The small explosion power is its fatal flaw. If your light or dark enchantment can resist For small explosive bombs, there should be no problem. Warriors are a little troublesome. I don’t know if their armor can offset the shock from the explosion and the penetrating power of the shrapnel. This time it’s troublesome, I didn’t expect ordinary ones. Black powder actually has this effect." Zhang Hao said worriedly.

"Shrapnel? What is that?" Lisi's nervousness: "I listen to you, as if something big is going to happen recently."

Zhang Hao said bitterly: "The black powder made of perfect proportions is more powerful than mine. It is sealed on a hollow subway ball and launched with a special device. After the explosion, it will be within a certain range. Produce a very powerful explosive impact force, because of the explosion, the iron ball will become fragments and fly around. It can easily penetrate the inferior iron armor that is two centimeters thick and has not passed through the essence. If the average lord has mastered this method, there is no way. What, it’s just that I suspect that the master of the two necromancers, the one who fought with me twice, should be the king of the demon world."

"Devil? How could it be possible!" Lisi'er was dumb, except for a few low-level creatures of the Demon Race. Most demons are very good at dark magic, and black powder does little harm to them. In contrast to humans, magicians are all neutral, and only high-level priests and bishop-level Guangming believers can use the light magic enchantment, and the number is pitifully small. Dark magic is suppressed by the magic world, and each country is only mastered by a few people, and the entire continent should add up to less than a hundred people. The demons have always been very powerful, and have seen wars between humans and demons. Human beings relied on human tactics to barely win. Once the demons use this kind of ‘gunpowder’ on a large scale to suppress human magical power, then the triumphant Libra will completely lean towards the demons.

Zhang Hao explained the two conflicts between himself and the weird soul in detail, but concealed the process of his injury and Stephanie. After listening to Lisier, she was puzzled: "According to your account, I am not sure if it is the demon king. Use the demon's Longinus spear in the soul state. This requires very strong mental power, even if it is me. No. Except for the main **** and the demon king, no one can have such a strong soul power. From this point of view, it seems that he should be the demon king. However, I have participated in several battles between humans and demons, and I also have such a strong soul He must understand that he is a brave warrior and dark magician. He respects his opponents very much. He never forcibly summons dead human heroes as his slaves, and he will never play ambushes that would lose his status. "

"Then do you have any more suspicious candidates?" Zhang Hao asked.

"No!" Lisi'er answered without hesitation.

"Then prepare for the worst. Let's treat him as a devil!" Zhang Hao took out the face towel that Alicia had prepared from his arms and covered his face: "Lisi'er, let's go. Go to the City Lord's Mansion and see if you can detect useful information."

"Okay, I will show you the way."

Bagamoyo’s City Lord’s Mansion is very large and luxurious, and the guards are even more rigorous. Every two minutes, a magician casts magic "light of development" near the entrance of the passage, which makes Zhang Hao spend a long time before using it. The gap went smoothly into the house.

"The guards here are too tight. The defense of the Palace of the Neutral Kingdom of Bitorius is better than that. There must be ghosts in it." Zhang Hao whispered to Lisi'er, "Do you remember where the city lord's house is? ?"

"Of course I remember!" Maybe the city owner is too confident about his peripheral guards. In the city main mansion, there are no guards. Lisi'er led Zhang Hao around the city main mansion, and finally stopped at a gate, using her fingers. Pointed.

Zhang Hao posted on the wall, heard someone talking in a low voice, and hurriedly picked up his internal skills to listen carefully.

"City Lord, all the Dalshi, yellow ore and black charcoal in the city have been purchased. Now they are all stored in the warehouse at the back. There are 17 tons of Dalshi, 9 tons of yellow ore, and only one ton of black charcoal."

"Why is there so little black charcoal?"

"City Lord, our Issubia is a desert country. There are no trees. Of course, there is no black charcoal. These black charcoal are imported from abroad by merchants and the price is very expensive. The price of a ton of black charcoal is equivalent to seventeen. The sum of the price of one ton of dal stone and nine tons of yellow ore."

"It seems that I asked a stupid question. I won’t have to buy black charcoal anymore. I will save the money for the other two ores. The owner once said that we need to make reasonable use of the limited resources in our hands. The purchase of black charcoal It’s up to my companions in other countries to deal with it."

"Yes!"

"Nothing is going on, you can withdraw first. Let's prepare to ship all the things in the warehouse tomorrow. The transportation must be done well. Don't go wrong in the middle. The accompanying guards must find credible and powerful mercenaries. The master agreed. If these things can be safely delivered to the barrens, he will give us rewards. Then I will ask the master for some kindness, and hope he can evenly give you a share from the rewards."

"Really? Great. Thanks to the city lord for the reward, I am so grateful. The subordinates retire first."

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhang Hao quietly withdrew from the City Lord's Mansion, carefully circled outside, and finally found the large warehouse mentioned by the two. It's just that the guards of this warehouse are very tight, and there is a circle of senior soldiers standing outside, it looks like. There should be about forty or fifty, and there are seven magicians taking turns to cast the light of development. The effective time of a light of development magic is about one minute, and the consumption of this kind of magic is very low. There will be no depletion of magic power.

It seems that there is no way to sneak in quietly. Zhang Hao sighed slightly, and was about to leave, but Lisi'er leaned over. He asked in a low voice, "Ali, do you want to go in and steal those ore and charcoal?"

Zhang Hao blinked and asked quietly, "Yes, do you have a way?"

Lisi chuckled and said: "Of course there is a way, but you owe me another condition like this." She doesn't need to lower the volume when speaking, anyway except Zhang Hao. No one else can hear her voice.

No, let's talk about the conditions? Zhang Hao shrugged and said, "Forget it, it will be more convenient for me to rob them on the road tomorrow."

"Just kidding with you, you are too serious." Lisi gave Zhang Hao a white look: "I can use teleportation to bring you in, but your grudge is devouring you, I hope you can stop it, otherwise it will move instantaneously. The effect of this won’t work on you."

"Okay, hurry up, otherwise they will find out!" Because of the reduction of his internal strength, the enchantment created by the thieves' coat of arms became blurred. Zhang Hao's body is looming. Fortunately, it was dark at this time, and Zhang Hao was fifty meters away from them. The guards around the warehouse did not find him.

Lisi'er hugged Zhang Hao from behind suddenly, her body pressed against his back without any gaps, and Zhang Hao's whole body froze.

"Only in this way can we take you to move together and let you take advantage of it." Lisi'er whispered softly. Zhang Hao didn't speak. Through his body, he could feel Lisi'er's rapid heartbeat.

Perhaps it was a tense relationship. Lisi's short spell was pronounced incorrectly three times. Fortunately, her magical control was amazing, so that the magic was not backlashed, and finally succeeded the fourth time. The two appeared in the center of the warehouse, on a small hill made of ore. Lisi hurriedly released Zhang Hao, stepped to the side and patted her chest and inhaled.

There is a magical lighting array on the top of the warehouse. Zhang Hao jumped down from the ore pile and inspected the surrounding environment. The three materials for making gunpowder were piled in the center. At the foot of the yellow ore pile, there was also a blue transparent skeleton. , Its forehead is inlaid with a blue crystal core, I don't know what kind of monster it is, and a bright blue scimitar is also held in its bone claws, giving people a unique beauty like sea water. Apart from this, there is nothing else.

This should be a processed bone artwork. There are similar artists on earth. They like to make alternative and weird artworks out of bones. Zhang Hao thought to himself.

There is no gloomy breath of death on this skeleton, and there is no necromancer's sigh nearby. Moreover, Lisi'er did not make a sound. If it is a skeleton warrior controlled by a necromancer, she must be able to hide it from her, so Zhang Hao will It is regarded as an alternative artwork collected by the lord of the city.

"Soundproof barrier!" Zhang Hao yelled softly, and Lisi'er had calmed down at this time. The soundproof barrier, which does not emit any magical fluctuations, soon enveloped three piles of materials.

Untie Xu Jiezi, Zhang Hao pushed the ore in one by one, and Lisi'er also used wind magic to help. Listening to the conversation between the two just now, you can know that the other side is very powerful, and every country in the mainland should have their own dark lines. He knows that he alone cannot prevent the other party from acquiring the three materials of the black powder land in large quantities, but he is stealing in front of him. No matter what you have, you can only do your best.

Although Xujiezi's opening is small, the speed of stuffing is not slow. In less than a minute, the Daer mine pile, which is as high as a small hill, disappeared in half. Zhang Hao and Lisi'er were stealing right away when they suddenly heard a hoarse sound of metallic texture coming from the yellow ore.

"The breath of life is detected, the target is locked, the number of targets, one!" Zhang Hao turned his head to see, the blue skull slowly stood up, two red lights appeared in the hole, passing through the barrier and shooting at Zhang Hao's Clothes.

"The attributes of the target's peripheral energy shield are confirmed, the target's occupation is confirmed, the thief."

"The safety system is activated, and the magic of asking for help is issued...!"

What the hell? Zhang Hao drew the sword and leaped over with a light effort. It was cut to the neck of the skeleton, but it was blocked by a blue scimitar.

"The target initiates an attack and is identified as an enemy. The call magic is blocked, the reason is unknown. The independent combat system is activated." The small red light in the skull's eye hole immediately turned blue, and changed to the appearance of the eye, exuding a trace of killing. meaning.

Zhang Hao squeezed the sword at ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ten percent of the internal force gushed out, and rushed towards the skeleton's body through the blue scimitar.

"Suffering an unknown energy attack, the energy system is chaotic, and the auxiliary system is mixed... Damn, what kind of anger is this? Anyway, it can finally be freed." A long sigh floated from the skeleton's fleshless throat.

The skeleton turned into broken bones and scattered on the ground, the red light in the eye hole slowly dimmed, and the blue crystal nucleus on his forehead was peeled off. Zhang Hao's heart moved, he squatted and picked it up. The inside of the crystal nucleus was densely packed. , Spider-web-like lines.

"This, what is this thing, there is no magic wave, no magic mark belonging to any necromancer, the structure is very simple, it can't be the construct creature of our magic kingdom, why can it act on its own, and it seems to have itself? Consciousness." Lisi'er was stunned for a while, this thing completely subverted her common sense.

"I don't know." Zhang Hao shook his head. The thing in his hand looked like a computer's CPU, but he was sure that this skeleton was definitely not a robot, because a robot was not a creature, and it was impossible to show killing intent from the eyes. The last sentence is very humane.
