Chapter 108 Going out of the city and Lao Baji [Qiu Zhui Order Ⅱ]
The four of them took a passing carriage and headed outside the West City Gate.
Chen Xuan leaned against the smelly car rail.
During the slightly bumpy car ride, he couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with Jason Ironforge when they parted ways in the tavern, and couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth.
At that time, the dwarf blacksmith kept muttering: "I have been fooled."
Seeing his regretful look, Chen Xuan asked him a question.
"Why didn't you have any doubts when I said I would only sign a slave contract for one hour?"
This question made the dwarf furious, but he did not dare to get angry.
"You deserve... to be blessed!"
"I conclude dozens of contracts every Naraya Day!"
"By the wisdom of the ancestors of the Three Castles, even the Great Prophet of Ironforge is still alive and doesn't know about you... Can you modify the contract?"
The Naloa Aboriginal people have a deep-rooted impression of the contract.
This cannot be changed even if Di Renjie comes.
After hearing his reasons, Chen Xuan raised a new question.
"What if I asked you to enter into a slave contract for half a Naroa month?"
"Humph, don't even think about it!"
"You deserve...praise, Master!"
"If we can't reach an agreement at that time, I will use other methods and we can always get it done!"
"Instead of being a slave for half a Naloa month for no reason!"
Chen Xuan was deeply impressed by Jason Tieluo's expression when he said this.
And his answer was simple.
"Now you will be a slave for more than half a month."
"Well, don't feel sorry for yourself, at least I have no interest in the dwarf's ass."
…
Chen Xuan recalled it and couldn't help but smile.
Withdrawing his thoughts, he focused on action.
Chen Xuan did not bring too many people with him on this exploration trip to the Monster Caves.
Only he, the two sisters Kitten Girl and Dora, wanted to travel light and fast.
There are secrets hidden in that cave, and there may be more fragments of the Rose Key.
That is the "nutrient" he needs to strengthen his golden finger.
This is not comparable to ordinary benefits.
Chen Xuan carried more than two hundred magic tears with him. No matter how arrogant the monsters were, they would have to kneel down and sing conquest in front of such a arrogant fighting style.
In addition to the packaged magic tears, he also has a "massive" 50KG mercury storage tank.
To be honest, if he was serious about it, he could even "drown" all the monsters in the cave to death with magic tears.
As for why the dwarf blacksmith was not brought along in this operation.
The reason is also very simple.
First of all, it was because Chen Xuan didn't want to attract the attention of the Blacksmiths Association.
The third-level blacksmith left his job rashly. If he said there was no problem, no one would believe it.
Secondly, Chen Xuan is also very concerned about the "magic modification" of bicycles. As long as Jason is on duty, the modification plan of the Blacksmith Association can become his bag.
Finally, Chen did not want to reveal his other secrets in front of Jason so soon.
In the past, there was no choice, but now the situation has changed a lot, and naturally there is no need to live shoulder to shoulder.
Just take a few people with you, and even if things go wrong, it will be easier to run away.
In the future, his subordinates will only increase in number.
Contracts are one of his best means of rapid conquest.
This is a method that is inherently coercive and far from honorable.
But means are never good or bad.
What is useful is a good means, what is useless is a bad means.
Chen Xuan never uses false and naive noble words to cover up the various purposes he places on the contract.
The reality is not those stories of hegemony that have been beautified by later generations. A certain destined son can conquer the world with just one move of his tiger body.
Until he is strong enough to ignore everything, there is no way for Chen to judge whether any method is noble or not.
Back to topic.
Judging from the information provided by Ophelia before.
The crypt in Ea Forest is just a monster crypt marked [Small] in the records of the Adventurer Association.
But Chen Xuan learned from the dying succubus that there was a secret passage there.
In addition, the cat girl reported to him what happened when Chloë Leon's farm was destroyed.
It is enough to prove that the cave is not simple, and it is most likely a higher-level monster cave.
Ever since he saw monsters fighting and plundering each other, he began to re-examine the group of monsters.
Especially after he discovered that the transmission channel in the crypt was related to the Rose Key, he also thought about a problem, that is, monsters invaded Naroya by using the passage built by the Rose Key fragments.
And he used the ability given by the Rose Key phantom to perform [cross-border] operations.
There must be something in common between the two.
But he still didn't know what the meaning behind the Rose Key was.
All the above confusions made Chen Xuan feel itchy and he wished he could just put on his wings and fly over.
After the four people left the city, they got off the carriage and prepared to walk through the temporary stalls and bustling crowds outside the city gate.
The two Dora sisters seemed to be in high spirits. This rare opportunity to go out of the city gave them a long-lost sense of "freedom."
Moreover, the landform and climate near Magatan City are very different from those in the eastern part of the mainland.
So along the way, the two sisters were chatting in the ancient dialect of the Eastern Region.
Rebecca followed Chen Xuan quietly, with a complicated expression on her face hidden by the hood, as if she was recalling some not-so-good memories.
This time when going out, Chen Xuan no longer forces everyone to wear tactical goggles under normal circumstances.
They just put on a bulletproof vest with a chest plate, a tactical helmet, and a loose hooded jacket.
Strange-shaped armor and helmets are acceptable to the Naloa natives.
But the avant-garde style tactical goggles are not good, they are too eye-catching when walking on the road.
Even with the acceptance of the fusion of all races in Naraya, it is still a bit too eye-catching and dazzling.
And it’s not comfortable to wear that thing all the time.
So Chen Xuan simply asked everyone to take off their goggles.
This will reduce a lot of prying eyes.
There is a large open space outside the city gate, and a street market has spontaneously formed here, which is very lively every time you pass by.
While Dora and the two sisters were chatting enthusiastically, no one noticed that behind one of the booths, there was a guy with a sly eyebrow who was talking to a furbolg while peeking at the backs of Dora and others from the corner of his eye.
"Those two women seem to be speaking ancient dialects from the Eastern Region?"
"Could it be the people with Eastern slaves that Sorel said?"
"That guy promised 1,000 crowns to find clues!"
This guy's name is Franco Budge, nicknamed "Old Budge".
On the surface, he is a hawker setting up a stall outside the West City Gate, but in fact, he is the "eyes" of the Broken Finger Gang in the underworld in the city.
As the name suggests, he often provides intelligence to the underworld in exchange for certain rewards.
The stall is just a cover. In fact, most of the guys who come and go outside the West City Gate every day cannot escape his prying eyes.
Thinking of the generous reward, Old Baji immediately abandoned the furbolg he was bargaining with, ran after him along the stall, and then glanced at Chen Xuan and others from the corner of his eye.
This guy is well versed in the characteristics of adventurers, and knows that if he looks directly with his eyes, it will easily arouse his keen senses, so his observation method is more clever.
