At this moment, Lu Yuan and Mu Xing were also in the market.
But it was not as high-end and classy as a carnival. This was just a rural gathering where people from several villages gathered here to exchange goods.
After lingering in the room for two days, Lu Yuan and Mu Xing were finally kicked out by the insufferable landlady, but in the name of "inviting them to the market." Looking at the dark circles under the boss's eyes, Lu Yuanruo smiled with enlightenment, but was pinched hard by Mu Xing who was hiding behind. Since it is a small hotel in the countryside, the soundproofing is obvious, so they really disturb others' rest. Especially the proprietress's sleep quality is extremely poor, and she suffers from a noble disease called "neurasthenia".
They walked in the market and wandered around casually. There was nothing they needed here. Sometimes when he sees something Mu Xing likes, Lu Yuan wants to buy it. But when he saw him taking out the gold coins, the stall owner would probably just give him the stuff but refuse to take the money because he really couldn't find any change.
The two people who no longer wanted to take advantage had no choice but to just watch and enjoy shopping.
"Ayuan, look." Duixing pulled him and asked him to pay attention to the dark, messy thing under the eaves.
"That's...the ears of wheat after shelling? Three ears of wheat mixed together? What does it mean?" Lu Yuan looked at it for a long time before he could identify the thing hanging on the eaves of the house. It turned out to be an inconspicuous ball of straw.
"Shh, keep watching." Duixing signaled him not to speak. The two held hands and stood on the roadside observing.
At this time, a farmer came over carrying several new rattan baskets filled with new wheat and other items. He looked at the roadside as he walked. When he saw the dark bunch of wheat straw, his eyes seemed to light up, he opened the door and walked in directly. The door was not closed, and Lu Yuan and Mu Xing could clearly hear the voices inside.
"Brother. Change something."
"Welcome, brother. Let me see what you brought? Is it more than five silver coins?"
"Definitely not. These are not worth five silver coins."
"Then look at these things of mine that are not worth five silver coins."
Then there were some exchanges and arguments about items, but overall the bartering went on very easily and smoothly. After a while, the farmer who came in left behind a new basket and new wheat. I took a bag of things and carried them on the "carrying pole" (let's call it this name for now). I picked other things on the other side and continued to visit the market.
Lu Yuan and Mu Xing, who followed him, saw him constantly switching in and out. Everything he wanted was quickly prepared. But he was not seen leaving at this time. The farmer casually placed the burden at the door of a house with a straw mark, but he carried the pole and wandered around the market, enthusiastically helping others with ideas, promoting exchanges, and so on. For a whole hour, I saw him busy happily.
Lu Yuan, who was vaguely guessing, then noticed that the farmer also had three wheat straws tied to his pole. Similarly, everyone he exchanged with had three wheat straws as a symbol.
All transactions involving "three straws" were fair and fast. As long as they had "no more than five silver coins", the transaction would always go smoothly without any fuss. Some people even exchange their things with those in urgent need, and then walk around the market with things they don't need much, and continue to exchange needed goods. When the "Three Straws" could not reach an agreement, they would either give up or find someone with high moral integrity to arbitrate - everything was moving towards the prototype of a guild.
"They...I really didn't expect this." Lu Yuan said excitedly. "But why did it develop so fast? Wasn't it just a few months ago?"
"These are the areas with the largest time span when the world changed. They have been developing for a year. The name of their organization is "Five Silver Coins", and they are now all over the Baldur's Gate area. I often encounter them when I travel. .”
"Hello, welcome to here, Mr. Greenfield Morning Star. And Mr. Mage, you are also welcome."
At this moment, an old man who recognized Duixing came over and said hello. He was one of the several respected people who were often dragged into arbitration. All morning today, you can see an old man standing in the center of the market, cleanly dressed and energetic. He is not doing business, but is here specifically to resolve disputes.
"How do you feel, Lord Greenfield Morning Star?" the old man said proudly.
Lu Yuan observed that there was a silver coin logo embroidered on his chest. Obviously, this was a logo that the farmer respected very much and represented his status in the "Five Silver Coins" organization. His pride stems from his love for the organization, as if to say, "Look, we farmers also have an organization worth relying on!"
"That's stupid!" Although Lu Yuan was optimistic that this organization would evolve into a guild, he still criticized it mercilessly. The old man flushed suddenly, and with red face and red eyes, he wanted to scold him angrily, but was stopped by Mu Xing. The old gentleman didn't know, but Muxing knew who created the "Five Silver Coins". She expected Lu Yuan to make wiser suggestions to help the farmers live a better life. After all, judging from the past, the "Five Silver Coins" The birth has indeed effectively improved the lives of farmers.
"Do you think it is convenient to hold a market? Is it very effective? Let me tell you, it is completely stupid! Since the peasants have no power and status, they should live secretly like mice, living where the nobles cannot see! I think! Think about your purpose! The nobles really look down on items with less than five silver coins. But if countless five silver coins are gathered together, are the nobles all blind?! Look at the current market, there are a hundred five silver coins here Or a thousand? Aren’t you afraid at all?!”
"But, but," the old man turned pale with fear and argued weakly, holding his chest with his hands, "but why would the nobles be interested in coming here?" Although he said this, his expression told the two people. He understood, and was frightened.
"No? Look..." Lu Yuan pointed to a group of people in the distance.
It was a group of people wearing servants' clothes. Although the clothes were rough, they were all brand new, and you could still see the satin lining exposed from time to time. It seemed that the other party was mostly just having fun, rather than concealing their identity.
Men and women gathered in two groups. The women gathered together to hang out, and from time to time they would scream and make noises in an exaggerated manner when they saw something, and then laugh with each other as if no one was watching. They were completely different from the servant women who went out to do shopping. not to mention. There are also those holding expensive feather fans - at this time, they are wearing servant clothes and holding feather fans. Either he's showing off or he's sick.
The men stood at the edge of the market with some indifference, gathering together to discuss things. When you're not paying attention, it doesn't seem like much. If you look carefully, you'll find that a man among them is protected by layers of layers in the center. There is also a man who looks like a mage and a man who looks like a butler. The people around him formed a human wall. Protect the three people who are talking in the center. That one has the possibility of becoming a noble!
"I just want to find some entertainment. I didn't expect these untouchables to be so rich! We have to find a way to collect taxes!" Mu Xing suddenly said in a smooth voice. Lu Yuan and the old man turned around in surprise and saw Mu Xing Star stared over there. Repeated word for word.
"Read lips," Lu Yuan explained to the old man.
"Most of these people are the subjects of Baron Vere, and we can't collect taxes." "Don't worry about that guy, it's ours. Vere will shut up! Don't let the untouchables notice, I'm watching here, you go Ask people to block the roads to the south and east and pay attention to the safety of the ladies." After Duixing finished retelling, she stopped reading her lips when she saw the butler-looking man running away.
"What, what should I do? Lord Greenfield Morning Star, please save us!" The old man anxiously pulled Mu Xing's arm and begged in a low voice with tears in his eyes. Several villagers who noticed the old man's abnormality also moved closer. .
"A Yuan..." Mu Xing looked at Lu Yuan, the look in his eyes was not a request, but a hope. She always thought that Lu Yuan was the only good guy among the evil mage who was not evil enough, and she was happy to see him do any good deeds. So, she felt that it was time for A Yuan to show off her talents.
"Sigh," Lu Yuan scratched his head. I still want to be evil. I feel a lot of pressure from you. "There is no particularly good way. I will create chaos. You can notify me and let everyone take advantage of the chaos to disperse and hide! That nobleman also acted on a whim and will not go into details."
The old man is also a decisive person. He looked at Duixing and saw that the ranger had no better suggestions. He immediately turned around and grabbed the few people who came over, and quickly explained. Then one person spread the word to more people, and most of the people in the market began to pack their things. At this time, the nobleman also obviously realized that something was wrong. He gave a few orders in a low voice. The surrounding guards drew their weapons and stopped the farmers in the market first, waiting for reinforcements.
The head of Lu Yuan's staff lowered to the ground, his eyes fixed on the group of women gathered together with the nobles, and he chanted dragon language spells in a low voice. Muxing was standing next to him, feeling the arcane power flowing like a tide being commanded by Lu Yuan. He was very surprised. A Yuan's strength was beyond imagination! As he dropped an inexplicable piece of seafood arm, which dug into the soil on its own, Lu Yuan finally finished casting the spell and leaned weakly on Mu Xing.
"What kind of spell is it?" Mu Xing put her hand on the hilt of the sword and asked doubtfully. She expected to assist Lu Yuan in attacking when the spell broke out.
"Don't move, just watch. It's a new spell I figured out, the Secondary Aivac Black Tentacle!" Lu Yuan said without changing his expression. In fact, this is all bragging. Due to the improvement in spiritual power brought about by the master realm, he can try to cast more advanced spells beyond the level - of course, don't expect the power - including the fourth-level extremely evil spell "Aivac Black Tentacle"!
This spell creates a field of powerful black tentacles in an area, each 10 feet long. These surging tentacles appear to emerge from any surface beneath your feet, from the dirt, the floor, and the water. They use their slimy, cold arms and legs to grasp and entangle creatures in and into the area, trapping them with great force and then crushing them. The weakened version of "Aivac's Black Tentacle" used by Lu Yuan was extremely weak. He could not even "crush them" or "trap them".
But if the target is a group of aristocratic women with bare buttocks and skirts...imagine the sticky, cold tentacles reaching under the skirts, wrapping around and sucking on the bare thighs...reaching in...ahem . So "Aivac Black Tentacle" is an extremely evil spell!
Even think about it. Lu Yuan felt excited! The tentacle monster is the tallest!
Sure enough, the next second, there was a chorus of high-pitched screams, one after another. The women were screaming and flapping their skirts, or pulling on something and struggling desperately, and there were also some with flushed faces and panting... Ahem, we won't pay attention to this, maybe she usually plays very hard.
"Save people! Save people quickly! Don't worry about those untouchables! Save the madam and the young lady first!" Seeing a large black tentacle killing his wife, daughter and lover, even the nobles could not care about the mud-legged people and immediately moved away target. Direct the guards to go up and rescue people! The mage advisor next to him obviously recognized what kind of spell this was. Frightened, he cast magic repeatedly to try to dispel the effect of the spell, but he knew clearly that he could not break the "Aivac Black Tentacles". In the next second, all women would be torn into pieces by the black tentacles! There is no way to resolve the damage caused by this kind of force field tentacle!
He backed away quietly. Be prepared to find the right moment to escape - even if the mage on the opposite side lets him go. Even the nobles who had killed all their women would not let him go.
But it is different from imagination. Those guards actually rescued the women from the black tentacles! Someone thought of a way. They tore off the woman's clothes and poured oil on the area where the black tentacles were holding her. He actually pulled someone out like that! And after saving two important people, amidst the cries and calls for help from the women, the black tentacles slowly retracted into the ground, leaving behind a large group of half-naked and crying women.
"Damn it! Put some clothes on my wife!" the nobleman cursed, angrily noticing the gazes of the guards, circling on the naked bodies of his wife and daughter - who were the two who were rescued first? Woolen cloth! And his damn wife, she didn’t cover the top or bottom with her hands, but she used her hands to cover that damn birthmark! Because it affects the perception...
This is impossible. The mage consultant rubbed his eyes desperately. The fourth-ring spell "Aivac Black Tentacle" actually has no lethality? ! Just make the women happy and tease them and then disappear? This, there are two possibilities - the first is that this is not "Aivac's Black Tentacle", but an illusion. But he was certain and certain that he was definitely not affected by the illusion; then there was the second type, the other party was merciful. Therefore, a changed and weakened "Aivac Black Tentacle" was released. This kind of person who modifies spells casually... I definitely can't afford to offend him, right?
"I...what's wrong with me?! No! Eric will be heartbroken! How should I explain to him!?" At this time, the noble's fourteen-year-old daughter was in trouble again. She was wearing a cloak. There was blood on her hands and bare thighs. She yelled in horror, and the meaning of her words hinted at the fact that her virginity had been lost by a spell...
Eric is her fiancé, by the way.
If her personal maid hadn't turned pale now, hiding behind the crowd, sobbing and bandaging her arm that had just been cut with a big cut, everyone might have believed it. Of course, the possibility is very small, because half of the men present have "played games" with this lady. Anyway, whether you believe it or not, I do.
"We must find that damn mage! Hang him!" the noble roared uncontrollably, and the mage advisor could only agree with a wry smile. He hoped that the "master" would leave on his own, but unfortunately it didn't happen. As the crowd dispersed quickly, he looked bitterly at a young man wearing a magic robe and holding a magic wand, standing there alone. Looking here with a smile.
"That's him! Damn it! Catch him!" The noble commanded the guards to surround him, but the mage advisor who followed the noble tugged on his shirt hard, and continued to pull hard with a force that could tear the shirt. This noble is not an idiot. , he immediately realized the problem, slowed down and fell behind the guard.
The guards were not stupid either. They just surrounded us from a distance and did not dare to get too close.
"Dear mage," the mage advisor stepped forward with a wry smile and performed a mage salute first. Although Lu Yuan looks young, his teacher who can modify the fourth-ring spell at will may be watching somewhere right now! "It was your teacher just now... No, you were joking with us, right?" He noticed that the young man's teacher seemed to be deliberately avoiding it, so of course he pretended not to know.
The noble stood behind with a gloomy face, letting the mage advisor negotiate, knowing in his heart that since the other party was powerful, the mute would probably suffer the consequences.
"Mage?" Lu Yuan raised his head in surprise, "Is that why?" He tugged at the mage's robe. "Is it because of this?" He shook the magician's staff.
"Tell you the truth!"
Lu Yuan saw that all the villagers had left, so he made a very serious announcement.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" He exhaled continuously and danced the magic wand into a stick flower. After a while of crackling and beating, he suddenly shook the magic robe - the so-called jumping out of the circle and calling it a day. "To tell you the truth, we are a warrior monk!"
After finishing speaking, he jumped onto the roof on the side and jumped along the house.
Only the guards, stunned nobles and mage advisors were left lying on the ground groaning. (To be continued...)
