The next morning, when Luo Songxi opened the door of the store, he heard the neighbors talking about a big battle the night before.On one side was the notorious Imperial "Owls" and on the other side was the even more notorious "Brotherhood of the Caro Islands" in black pirates, and a fierce shootout took place at the Hat Pavilion of the Southeast Fifth Ring.Later, the leader of the Lore Brotherhood, the Great Lore Laudrup, actually appeared in person, and in response, the secret police department dispatched a deputy commissioner of the Sanctuary Order, and a street in the Hat Court, which was originally full of shops, was almost razed to the ground.The Caro Islands are the most chaotic place in Tia, with no government, no law, no order, only large and small bands of pirates, entrenched on two or three hundred islands, large and small.The seven most powerful pirate leaders among the pirates are known as the "Seven Heroes".The Grand Lore Laudrup is one of the Seven Greats.The Karo Islands are located in the waters between the Empire and the Elven Continent, and one of the most important duties of the Jing Navy was to combat pirates operating in the southern waters of the Empire.This is also the first time in the impression of the people of the empire that the Seven Great Kou have openly appeared in the interior of the empire, and they are in the capital of the empire.However, Luo Songxi listened for a while, and the people who were talking outside were of course gritting their teeth at the pirates, and were worried about whether the East Fifth Ring Road, where they lived, would be affected.But at the same time, I also seem to feel very happy about the heavy casualties of the secret police department last night.Then the final conclusion was that he threw the pot to Jinghai Hou West, who was ineffective and actually let the Seven Great Kou come ashore.It seems that West's reputation among the people of the empire is also quite bad.In the next few days, it was calm, and no one suspected the head of the "Little John Alchemy Shop" at the Xinshikou of the East Fifth Ring Road.Luo Qingming didn't know when he would come, and Luo Songxi became idle, as Professor Flopp expected.But he didn't spend his time honing his mastery of elemental power and pondering the laws of the elements, as Professor Flopp had requested.He began to study the bow that 77 said could replace the light-year function.77 had sent him the design of the bow, and he began to draw a detailed drawing of the bow in detail based on the impression in his mind.The arrows shot are as fast as teleportation, and you can also control the direction of the arrow's flight through mental power, what a sharp weapon it is.But in the end, it was because he was more interested in these complicated magic circles.Tia did not have the concept of "refining" on his face, and alchemy did not play its due role at all.If he could use the alchemy knowledge taught him by 77 to refine an earth-shattering magic weapon or even an artifact, it would be a great thing to achieve."
Do you say yes," he asked,77, "why do you say that the technology that was originally used to refine high-level magic weapons has become an industrial technology in the face of Tia?"
”"Actually, I think the industrialization path based on alchemy is actually quite good, at least the elemental crystals are clean energy."77 said, "You see, whether it's Fort St.
John or Giles, although the ground is a little dirty and the water is very polluted, at least the sky is blue, and there are no toxic particles in the air." ”"You don't know how bad the air is in the biofuel-based planes when they enter the industrial age."
Luo Songxi let out an incomprehensible "oh", he wrote a few imposing words "Wind Chaser's Bow" on the design drawing, and then began to study the materials needed to build this bow.The main materials were all there, the Raven Chief's wing feathers and tail feathers, the Wind Meteorite, and the golden crossbow he had captured from the Northern Military Region's Major Chuck, the arm of which was a mysterious piece of hardwood covered with wind patterns.But he was horrified when he read the auxiliary materials he was going to use."
Let's not say that these materials can be bought or not," Luo Songxi said to 77 with a sad face, "Do you know how much these things cost at the market price of the empire?"
”"I can't estimate it exactly."77 said, "But I estimate that five or six million dinars will always be wanted." ”Dinar means gold in the Old Titans, and the empire still retained the tradition of using gold coins with paper money until a hundred or two hundred years ago.It was not until the Second East-West War that the Empire forcibly issued paper money in order to raise military expenses, and the dinar was completely decoupled from the gold coin.But even so, to this day, the ratio of the dinar to the federal currency remains at about one to two hundred.Five or six million dinars, converted into federal coins, how can you get more than a billion federal coins.I used to think that alchemy was a money shredder, but I didn't expect that the alchemy was a real money shredder.Luo Songxi has hundreds of millions of deposits in the Federation, but the Federation and the Empire are hostile forces, and the Federation and the Imperial Dinar are naturally not freely convertible.Even though the moderates of the Federation have been trying to restore trade with the Empire, the grievances between the two great human powers that have lasted for more than a thousand years are far from being easily resolved.So the only hard currency he can use is those few elemental black diamonds, but how to solve the remaining funding gap?
He remembered what "Ivan the Terrible" had told him about the "Good Luck Casino" when he got off the train, and he thought to himself that if 77 hadn't been forced to hide, it wouldn't have been difficult to get a few million dinars by relying on the casinos that dotted the streets and alleys of Gilsdu."
Think beautifully," 77 left an eye-rolling expression in Luo Songxi's mind, "In the larger casinos, there are devices that are specially designed to interfere with the detection of mental power. ”"It's really not easy to cultivate spiritual power into a full range of perception ability, but it's not particularly difficult to find out some simple things at a very close distance, such as other people's hole cards and the number of dice.If the casino hadn't guarded against this, it would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. ”Little John's Alchemy Shop has taken over a few orders for minor repairs and repairs in the past few days, selling two basic energy transformation arrays, with a turnover of 3 dinars and 120 fils.He was thinking about how to make the "Wind Chaser's Bow", and he didn't notice that there were many more mosquitoes in the store these days.………… On Sunday morning, a loud bell rang in the prayer hall at Shinshikou.The prayer halls of Hepsius, the god of hope, and Antonidas, the god of learning, always stand side by side.The god of hope and the god of erudition were the most widespread and simple beliefs among the people of the empire.Luo Songxi opened the door of the store in front of the bell and saw that the street was empty, only the prayer hall at the end of the street was crowded with people.Luo Songxi then remembered the tradition of all shops in the empire being closed for one day every Sunday, which was a day reserved for the people to pray for the protection of the two living gods.The federation that advocates freedom and civil rights is indeed the most lacking place in this plane, Luo Songxi thought to himself.Luo Songxi was about to close the door of the store again and go back to continue tossing the blueprint of the "Wind Chaser's Bow", when suddenly a feeling of extreme danger arose.He tried to do something about it, but it was too late, and four men with murderous faces were already standing in front of the store.It was an expression of genuine indifference to killing and being killed, and it was an arrogance that believed that as long as you had strength, you could do whatever you wanted.This kind of slaughter, even on the face of the horse bandits of Tarta, will not be so simple and direct, with this kind of temperament, only the common alien land in the eyes of the Federation and the Empire, the pirates on the Caro Islands will have.However, this was not the source of the dangerous aura he felt, a middle-aged man who looked far less fierce than the four people just now, but a little mediocre-looking, walked slowly with unkempt hair, and walked slowly into Luo Songxi's shop.The four pirates bowed to the middle-aged man and closed the door, which dimmed in the light.As soon as the door closed, Luo Songxi felt a stormy wave of pressure rushing towards him.The middle-aged man was already sitting in the same chair he usually sat on, playing with two small streams of water on his fingers."
I'm Big Lore Laudrup."
The middle-aged man introduced himself."
Of course, you see that my image is not the same as the portrait on the wanted post, after all, everyone in our industry must be very good at disguise and makeup."
The leader of the "Lohr Brotherhood", one of the Seven Coles, is quickly wanted throughout the empire after a fierce battle with the deputy director of the Secret Ombudsman.However, instead of trying to find a way back to sea, he took four of his men down to find Luo Songxi.From the elemental coercion he unleashed, it could be known that he was a powerhouse at the peak of the Holy Domain, and he was on par with Ray Bundy that Luo Songxi had met before."
Is the Wind Meteorite with you?"
Big Lore Laudrup asked bluntly.The corners of Luo Songxi's mouth twitched, wanting to speak, but in the end he didn't make a sound, he couldn't figure out what went wrong and let the Lore Brotherhood track him down.The piece of wind meteorite, which he and 77 had carefully confirmed, had absolutely not been tampered with, and there was no arrangement that could be tracked down by others.The big Lore Laudrup seemed to guess what he was thinking, and patiently explained to him, "On that day, at the corpse in the sewers, in addition to the four Gudelman gang guards, we also put some 'Mosquito Seeker', a specialty of the Caro Islands. ”"There is nothing special about this mosquito, that is, after the female mosquito sucks blood, it will leave a special smell, and the male mosquito will follow this smell to find the person who has been bitten by the female mosquito.""
So we came over and came here to ask, your store was closed for a long time that afternoon, and you went out to buy medicine to treat penetrating injuries, so if you didn't intercept and kill the secret surveillance, take away the wind meteorite, and bring the disaster water to us, who else would it be?""
Your tactics are good, and there are only four brothers left to bring me ashore.Haha, that's good.Now is the time for you to pay off your debts. ”The pirate leader's account gave Luo Songxi time to think, but he couldn't think of a way to get out safely anyway.He could only bite the bullet and say, "The Stormfall Iron is not on me now. ”Four of his men, who had searched the entire shop, gathered around their leader and shook their heads to indicate that nothing had been found.Da Lore Laudrup stretched out his hand and touched Luo Songxi's body, only touching a music box, and there was nothing unusual about the spiritual power probing into it.He threw the music box back to Luo Songxi, nodded at Luo Songxi and said, "I just gave you enough time to think, I think you must have figured out that if you want to save your life, you can only calmly hand over the wind meteorite to us." ”As he spoke, he flicked his fingers, and a small ice pick pierced into the side of Luo Songxi's neck before Luo Songxi could react.Luo Songxi covered the wound that only oothed a small trace of blood, and listened to Da Luoer say, "Since it's not with you, take us to get it."
This Xiaoice cone, if I think of it, it will blow your neck to pieces, so don't do anything stupid. ”
