Chapter 108 Leaving the City with Old Buggy [Seeking Subscription II]

The four of them took a carriage along the way and headed for the west city gate.

Chen Xuan leaned against the smelly carriage railing.

During the slightly bumpy ride, he couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with Jason Ironforge when they parted at the tavern, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

The dwarf blacksmith at the time kept muttering, "I was fooled."

Seeing his regretful look, Chen Xuan asked him a question.

"Why didn't you doubt when I said that the slave contract was only for one water clock?"

This question made the dwarf furious, but he didn't dare to get angry.

"You should...be blessed master!"

"I have dozens of contracts signed every Naroa day!"

"I swear by the wisdom of the three castles' former kings, even if the Great Prophet of Ironforge is still alive, he doesn't know that you...you can modify the contract!"

The Naroa natives have a deep-rooted impression of contracts.

Even if Di Renjie came, this point could not be changed.

After listening to his reasons, Chen Xuan immediately raised a new question.

"What if I ask you to sign a slave contract for half a Naroya month?"

"Humph, don't even think about it!"

"You should be... praised master!"

"If the negotiation fails at that time, I will use other methods, and I will always get it!"

"Instead of being a slave for half a Naroya month for no reason!"

The expression on Jason Iron Furnace's face when he said this left a deep impression on Chen Xuan.

And his answer was also very simple.

"You will be a slave for more than half a Naroya month now."

"Okay, don't complain about yourself, at least I have no interest in the dwarf's ass."

...

Chen Xuan recalled and couldn't help but smile.

Retracting his thoughts, he focused on the action.

Chen Xuan did not bring too many people with him on this exploration to the Monster Cave.

Only he, the cat lady and the two sisters Dora, holding the idea of ​​traveling light and fast.

There are secrets hidden in that cave, and there may be more fragments of the Rose Key.

That is the "nutrient" needed for his golden finger to strengthen.

This is not comparable to ordinary benefits.

Chen Xuan carried more than 200 magic tears with him, and no matter how arrogant the monsters were, they had to kneel down and sing "conquer" in front of such a domineering fighting style.

In addition to the packaged magic tears, he also had a 50KG mercury storage tank that could be called "massive".

To be honest, if he really wanted to, he could even use magic tears to "drowned" all the monsters in the cave.

As for why the dwarf blacksmith was not brought with him in this operation.

The reason is also very simple.

First, it was because Chen Xuan did not want to attract the attention of the Blacksmith Association.

If a third-level blacksmith left his post rashly, no one would believe it if he said there was no problem.

Secondly, Chen Xuan was also very concerned about the "magic modification" of bicycles. As long as Johnson was on duty, the modification plan of the Blacksmith Association would become his possession.

Finally, Chen Xuan did not want to expose his other secrets in front of Johnson so quickly.

In the past, there was no choice. Now the situation has changed a lot, so there is no need to rush forward.

Just take a few people with you. Even if the situation is not right, it will be easier to run away.

In the future, he will have more and more subordinates.

The contract is one of the best means for him to conquer quickly.

This is a method that is inherently compulsory and not very honorable.

But there is no good or bad method.

Useful means are good means, and useless means are bad means.

Chen Xuan never uses false and naive noble rhetoric to whitewash the various purposes he has placed on the contract.

Reality is not the hegemony stories that have been beautified by later generations. A son of destiny can win the hearts of the world with just a shake of his tiger body.

Before he is strong enough to ignore everything, there is no judgment of whether any means are noble or not for Chen.

Back to the topic.

According to the information provided by Ophelia before.

The cave in the Eya Forest is just a monster cave marked as [small] in the records of the Adventurer Association.

But Chen Xuan learned from the dying succubus that there was a secret door there.

In addition, the cat girl reported to him the situation when the Colo Leon farm was destroyed.

It was enough to prove that the cave was not simple, and it was probably 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 found that the teleportation channel of the cave was related to the Rose Key, he thought of a question, that is, the monsters invaded Naroa with the channel 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 some commonality between the two.

However, he still didn't know what the Rose Key meant.

All the above confusions made Chen Xuan itchy, and he wished he could grow wings and fly directly over.

After leaving the city, the four got off the carriage and prepared to walk through the temporary stalls and the bustling crowd outside the city gate.

The two sisters Dora seemed to be in high spirits. It was a rare opportunity to go out of the city, which allowed them to experience the long-lost feeling of "freedom".

Moreover, the topography and climate near Magtan City were very different from those in the Eastern Region of the mainland.

So along the way, the two sisters were "chattering" in the ancient language of the Eastern Region.

Rebecca followed Chen Xuan quietly, her face covered by the hood, with a complicated expression, as if she recalled some not-so-good memories.

This time, Chen Xuan no longer forced everyone to wear tactical goggles under normal circumstances.

They just wore bulletproof vests and tactical helmets with chest plates, and a loose hooded coat.

The Naroa natives can accept the strange-shaped armor and helmets.

But the avant-garde tactical goggles are not acceptable, they are too eye-catching when walking on the road.

Even with the acceptance of the integration of all races in Naroa, it is still too eye-catching and dazzling.

And it is not comfortable to wear that thing all the time.

So Chen Xuan simply asked everyone to take off the goggles at ordinary times.

This can reduce a lot of prying eyes.

There is a large open space outside the city gate, where a street market has spontaneously formed, and it is very lively every time you pass by.

While Dora and her sister were talking, no one noticed that behind one of the stalls, a sly-looking guy was talking to a bear monster while glancing at the backs of Dora and the others.

"Those two women seemed to be speaking the ancient language of the Eastern Region?"

"Could it be the people with Eastern slaves that Sorel mentioned?"

"That guy promised 1,000 crowns for finding clues!"

This guy's name is Franco Baji, nicknamed "Old Baji".

On the surface, he is a hawker who sets up a stall outside the West City Gate, but in fact, he is the "eyes" of the Broken Finger Gang in the city's black street.

As the name suggests, he often provides information to the black street in exchange for a certain amount of compensation.

The stall is just a cover, and in fact, most of the guys who go to and from the West City Gate every day can't escape his prying eyes.

Thinking of the generous reward for the bounty, Old Baji immediately abandoned the bear monster who was bargaining with him in front of him, trotted along the side of the stall, and then glanced at Chen Xuan and others from the corner of his eye.

This guy is well aware of the characteristics of adventurers. He knows that if he looks directly at them, it is easy to attract the attention of keen perception, so his observation method is more clever.

After following for a distance, Old Baji felt more and more that they were the people mentioned by the garrison captain Sorel Moran.

"Profit!"

"This message is worth one thousand crowns!"

"I have to leave some marks!"

He thought in his heart, reached into the secret pocket on his chest and took out a small wooden box with a vent.

Quietly approached the two sisters walking at the end of the team from behind.

There were so many people in the street market outside the city. Although everyone consciously kept a certain distance, it was enough for him to wait for an opportunity to approach.

But he didn't expect that he had just approached the half-meter range behind Dora and her sister.

Silan and Belia noticed it.

They turned their heads and glared at Old Baji, looking murderous.

This made him, who was already guilty, shudder and slowed down his pace.

It is said that those born warriors are particularly sensitive to what is behind them.

Franco Baji, this cunning and greedy black street informant only dared to follow them more than ten meters behind, and continued to wait for the opportunity to attack.

Not long after, Chen Xuan, the leader, suddenly stopped in front of a fruit stall.

The stall sold [honey jade fruit], which was light green in color and the size of a grapefruit. The taste was average, not too sweet, and it was not worth the word "honey", but it was full of water and large in size, so travelers often bought a few.

While Chen Xuan and others were buying fruit, Franco Baji quietly approached from the side, pretending to be a passerby who was about to pass by.

The attention of Dora and her sister was also attracted by the fruit on the stall.

Taking this opportunity, old Baji opened the wooden box, which contained two gray bees.

He ejected one of them and hung it on Belia's coat near the back waist.

The pointed legs and mouth parts firmly bit the fabric of the coat.

At this time, another little bee was about to flap its wings and follow, but Old Buggy quickly closed the box.

He showed an ecstatic look on his face, and did not continue to follow, but returned to the city.

Beria, who was originally looking at the fruit, was thoughtful and raised his hand to pat his back.

Chen Xuan paid at the stall, and each person had a [honey jade fruit]. Seeing her look, he asked one more question.

"What's wrong, Beria."

"No, nothing."

Beria scratched his head, took a big bite of the [honey jade fruit].

With Chen Xuan, food poisoning is impossible.

Eating [honey jade fruit], the four continued to walk west.

Just wait until you pass through this bustling street market, and then find a hidden place to take out the mountain cross-country bicycles.

As for the original 28-bar bicycles, he asked Ophelia to take them to the "White Rose" caravan's base for backup.

And today seems to be some kind of "March Festival" in Naroa, and the streets are full of people and it is not suitable for riding.

So he simply chose to take a horse-drawn carriage and follow other animal-powered teams out of the city.

After more than ten minutes of wandering, Chen Xuan and others entered the village outside the west of the city.

Using spatial perception to explore, he found a corner behind an unmanned house and took out four mountain bikes. Everyone rode one each and headed towards the Eya Forest, which was 20 to 30 miles away.

When Dora and her sister were protecting Ophelia, they also learned to ride a bicycle.

For magic element practitioners with excellent physique and reaction, the threshold of riding a bicycle is almost zero.

They only need to try riding a few times to basically get the hang of it.

This reminded Chen Xuan of his childhood when he was naughty and insisted on learning to ride an adult bike, and his painful experience of being crooked and having his feet pinched.

This mountain bike made by Lao Yang's factory is really good.

It can easily conquer the bumpy dirt roads in the suburbs, and the transmission and front tires are well tuned, which can achieve sensitive and quick steering.

This greatly improves their travel efficiency!

You know, when they first came, he and Rebecca walked stupidly for several hours!

At the current riding speed, it only takes 45 minutes to 1 hour at most for them to reach the ruins of the Colo Leon Farm.

Then cross the Firefly River to reach the Eya Forest on the opposite bank.

The road there is very familiar to the cat girl. She once went deep into it as a scout of the team.

At the same time, it is also a thorn in her heart. She still does not have the courage to look at the dark side of the time again.

...

When Chen Xuan and his servants were heading towards the Eya Forest.

Outside a not-so-large house in the second circle of the city.

Franco Bage, who rushed back to the city in a hurry, was knocking on the door hurriedly.

"Lord Sorel!"

"Open the door!"

"Knock, knock, knock!"

In the house in the courtyard, Sorel Moran was sleeping soundly with a heavily made-up female servant in his arms.

The fierce knocking on the door woke him up.

Today was his and the team's day off. The emergency assembly plan of Lord Bezos was postponed, so they could rest normally.

It was not even the second water clock of the sun yet, and he didn't know which stinky shit came to disturb his sweet dream.

"Dear, someone is knocking on the door."

The charming female servant twisted her body and poked his chest with a finger.

"Damn it, don't talk to me!"

"The money is on the table, go back and put on your clothes later!"

"Now, go and rinse your mouth with vanilla!"

Sorel cursed, and the female servant jumped off the bed lightly without getting angry.

Twisting her waist, she walked into the bathroom.

Without paying attention to the female branch girl, Sorel quickly put on a set of boxer briefs, put on a white lining, pushed open the door and walked into the yard.

The voice of the person knocking on the door sounded familiar to him, but he had met too many people and couldn't remember them at all.

He leaned close to the crack of the door and recognized Old Baji.

Pulling open the metal bolt, Sorel grabbed his collar and dragged him into the yard, then kicked the door shut with his heel.

"I know you."

"You are one of the 'eyes' of the Broken Finger Gang!"

"I think your name is Old Jiba? Or Old Baji?"

"Damn it, it doesn't matter!"

"You'd better find some good news to tell me."

"I don't like people disturbing my sleep. If you can't say anything useful, then you will spend tonight in the prison of the Garrison Security Department."

Sorel squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth.

...
