Then Arctic Circle saw Red Scorpion with a weird expression, and he also greeted him enthusiastically,
"Brother Red Scorpion, come here, I have something to tell you. Come and try the vodka my brother brought. It's really strong."
Red Scorpion immediately said,
"Ah? It's like this. I have an appointment with Kai here. 5 minutes, I can do it in 5 minutes, then I'll come! I'll go over first. "
Although Arctic Circle felt that Red Scorpion was a bit weird, he didn't take it to heart.
At this time, he was about to continue speaking. Fang Linyan looked at the sincere smile on his face and laughed in his heart, but he said seriously on the surface,
"Did I save your life?"
Arctic Circle was stunned for a moment, then he continued to smile sincerely,
"Yes! Sword Genius, you came in time. "
Fang Linyan said seriously,
"I came in time. At that time, you had already been hit by the team skill and were in a state of near-death. As long as you were touched by the monster, you would die, and there was no one around for 10 meters."
"If I hadn't come over and kicked you, and then tripped up that monster, you would've been dead for sure!"
The smile on Arctic Circle's face was still sincere, but for some reason, he only felt a little numb on his scalp. But what could he say? He could only say sincerely,
"Yes! It's all thanks to you, Sword Genius. "
* Cough cough *, he now began to omit the word 'brother'.
Fang Linyan said confidently,
"So, for your future consideration, I took the initiative to come to you. I don't know what you have prepared to thank me?"
At this time, there were about a dozen people near Arctic Circle. After hearing Fang Linyan's words, all they thought in their minds was: How can there be such a weirdo?
However, Fang Linyan held the thought of "as long as I'm not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed". Facing the gaze of others, he actually opened his hand to the Arctic Circle and asked for it.
Finally, there was a confidant beside Arctic Circle who couldn't help but stand up and said,
"Sword Genius, it's not good for you to do this, right?"
Fang Linyan glanced at him,
"Arctic Circle was chased by the tarantula monster for 47 seconds. What were you doing at that time?"
The confidant was stunned. He knew that he couldn't win against him in this, so he immediately said,
"If you're here to ask for something, then just ask for it. And you're still saying that you're thinking about Big Brother's future?"
Fang Linyan said confidently,
"Isn't it obvious enough? You see, he was almost killed in the Arctic Circle, but no one came to save him. This means that the people around him have been dissatisfied with him for a long time and hoped that he would die soon. In the end, it was a stranger like me who saved him. "
"If the Arctic Circle is still stingy with me, his savior, then can he guarantee that he won't be in danger in the future? If he carries the reputation of being stingy, then he can only wait for death next time. "
"You …"
The confidant's face immediately flushed red. He thought for a long time before saying,
"You're asking for a favor!"
Fang Linyan spread out his hands and said in surprise,
"I don't have much of a relationship with the Arctic Circle before this. This time, I risked my life to save him, and I also suffered heavy losses. Of course, I have to ask him for help."
"If the Arctic Circle doesn't have money and resources, can I rob him by force? I saved him and asked him for some benefits, but you made it sound like I'm evil. Tsk tsk … I can't be a good person. "
At this time, Red Scorpion and others who were listening by the side almost laughed out loud. Red Scorpion had experienced Fang Linyan's weird temper. He felt that this person was strong, but his temper was also very weird. He could only be coaxed.
Now seeing that the Arctic Circle had to face the same troubles as him, Red Scorpion only felt that his pain was shared by someone. This was really a relief.
Seeing that the confidant still wanted to speak, the Arctic Circle already knew that he couldn't hesitate at this time. Otherwise, it would really make things worse. He immediately bowed solemnly to Fang Linyan and said,
"Brother Yaodao saved my life. I'm really grateful. Now that you are in trouble, I will do my best."
Then, the Arctic Circle whispered to the people around him for a while, then he directly gave Fang Linyan 60,000 utility points, 3 potential points, 13 achievement points, a Shield Mastery skill book, and a large and small comprehensive recovery potion.
The Shield Mastery Skill Book had always been a hard currency, and its price on the market was always high. Hence, Arctic Circle's reward this time was quite generous.
And he was a smart person. He knew that although this Yaodao acted shamelessly and greedily, he was right about one thing,
"If I act stingy this time, the next time I encounter danger, I can only wait for death."
So the Arctic Circle still said sincerely at this time,
"Now I only have these things in my hand. When our leader comes back, I will ask him to think of a way."
Fang Linyan knew that he should stop while he was ahead. He laughed and said,
"Enough, enough."
Then he actually returned 3 achievement points and 20,000 utility points,
"Actually, I still lack a basic swordsmanship skill book. Can you help me find it? This is the deposit, then we are even. "
The Arctic Circle didn't accept it,
"This is a small matter! The drop rate of basic swordsmanship skill books is not very low, and this world will produce basic swordsmanship skill books, so it shouldn't be a big problem. "
Fang Linyan said,
"Then you take it. I can't let you use your own money to help me."
Hearing Fang Linyan suddenly said such a sentence, the Arctic Circle was stunned. He suddenly felt a little comfortable in his heart, then he nodded,
"That's good."
So half an hour later, Fang Linyan got a basic swordsmanship skill book, and it was actually LV3 at the back.
According to the person who sent the book over, this basic swordsmanship skill book was dropped in this world. When Fang Linyan first entered this world, he encountered a fish demon, and they encountered a group of robbers. This book was dropped from the leader of the robbers.
At this time, after Li Chi confirmed that this group of temporarily recruited "auxiliary soldiers" was very strong, he directly ordered to set off for Thousand Thread Cave.
In Fang Linyan's opinion, even if the battle in Thousand Thread Cave progressed smoothly, he could only get a mouthful of soup at most. He couldn't even get a mouthful of meat, let alone amaze the world with a single brilliant feat.
Not only that, the sudden increase in the ranking of soul orbs in Noah Realm S would definitely attract the attention of other Noah Realms.
Although all the Noah Realms had formulated the rule that they couldn't join forces, they didn't say that they couldn't sneak attack and plot!
The Realms that were ranked at the top would inevitably be targeted.
At this time, many people had gathered in Thousand Thread Cave. The most important thing was that there were also local forces joining in. The possibility of the enemy Realm Warriors finding out relevant information was extremely high.
If he went there, he wouldn't get much benefits, but he would also be in danger as cannon fodder. How could he do this kind of losing business?
According to the original plan, Fang Linyan went to Red Scorpion to ask for a scouting mission, then he directly slipped away.
At this time, Fang Linyan's goal was very clear. That was to go to the capital of the Sacrificial Fortress. There were 2 things to do there.
The first thing was of course to take out the Dafan prayer beads and give them to the monks of the Jinguang Temple in the capital. There was a pagoda in this Jinguang Temple, which enshrined the famous beads of the Sacrificial Fortress.
And this bead could make the surrounding countries in awe. Of course, it was also coveted by them. If these monks were not capable, how could they keep such a treasure?
From this, it could be inferred that the status of the monks here must also be high, so giving the relics of Tang Jinchan to them could maximize the benefits.
The second thing was that when Fang Linyan first entered this world, he found the medicinal pill from the dead young man and the tri-cobalt rod that could directly kill the fish monster. This thing was also an out-and-out Buddhist magic weapon.
He keenly felt that this should be a clue of a mission, so he planned to look for it by the way.
The Black Mountain Town was not far from Ye Wancheng, the capital of the Sacrificial Fortress. It was about 300 to 400 miles away.
After Fang Linyan inquired about it, he found that the fastest way to get there was actually to charter a small boat. Going down from the Xutuo River next to the Black Mountain Town, it only took half a day to reach the Old Yang Ferry 30 miles away from Ye Wancheng.
Of course, the journey down the river was very dangerous. There were many waves on the beach, and overturned boats often happened, but Fang Linyan didn't care about these. Moreover, he also had a hundred taels of silver on him now. He was not short of money, so he simply booked the best boat.
The boatman was said to have been on the river for 30 years. Of course, his price was also higher than the rest.
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. There were no accidents along the way, but they experienced a novel experience of "the apes on both sides of the river can't stop crying, and the light boat has crossed thousands of mountains".
On the boat, Fang Linyan was also idle, so he directly learned the Basic Swordsmanship lvl 3.
For a newcomer, the most difficult thing to learn this basic skill was that it had requirements for basic attributes. To be precise, it had requirements for strength, agility, and spirit. Fortunately, Fang Linyan was not a newcomer. He even directly upgraded the Basic Swordsmanship to lvl 6 in one go!
At this time, Fang Linyan still had 140,000 utility points left, but he only had 1 point of 13 potential points left.
However, his sacrifice was also worth it. Basic Swordsmanship lvl 6 had an all-round bonus to the Glorious Swordsman. The power of the Glorious Swordsman's normal attack + all skills increased by 30%, and the cooldown time was reduced by 20%!
Not only that, when Fang Linyan held the sword in his hand, he felt more and more comfortable. The connection between the swordsmanship moves could be described as natural and smooth.
In actual combat, the speed of the sword was 15% faster, and the flaws were less exposed. At the same time, the grasp of the opportunity was more precise.
For example, in the previous battle, Fang Linyan could only dodge when he saw the opponent punching at him. But now, after encountering this situation, he could judge that if he directly counterattacked with the sword, he could hit the opponent severely.
At that time, although the opponent's punch could hit him, the power had been reduced to the point that he could easily withstand it.
When Fang Linyan got off the boat at Old Yangferry, the setting sun had completely sunk below the horizon. The scenery in the distance was already hazy, and the sound of insects in the wild was also clear.
Fang Linyan looked around and found that this country was actually strong in appearance but weak in reality. The trend of decline was already obvious.
The reason was very simple. This place was only 30 miles away from the capital, Ye Wancheng, but the nearby flat terrain was all wild land. Taking a closer look, the soil was fertile black soil; it was not saline-alkali land.
Such a fertile land next to the capital was actually abandoned in vain. It could be seen how lazy the local officials were. Most of the people were still hardworking and willing to work. As long as there was a little policy, in just 2 or 3 years, this place would be a thousand miles of fertile land again. They could pay taxes to the country again.
After walking for about 5 or 6 miles toward Ye Wancheng, the sky was even darker, but a golden light had begun to shine in the distant sky. It continued to appear in the night sky, constantly changing its position and shining in all directions.
Obviously, this was the orb on the Golden Light Tower in Ye Wancheng began to "show its power".
This feeling was nothing for people who were used to seeing neon lights in metropolises, but for the aborigines, it was still quite shocking. In addition, this golden light had the ability to kill and restrain evil spirits. No wonder it could make everyone fear it.
Under the guidance of the golden light, Fang Linyan walked along the road and came to the city wall of Ye Wancheng. After coming here, he secretly cursed.
It turned out that Fang Linyan still fell into the misunderstanding of habitual thinking. In his impression, when the sky turned dark, it meant that the city's nightlife began. There was nothing special, but in fact, it was not like this in this dimension. The city wall had to be isolated from the outside.
Fang Linyan was delayed for a whole day on the road today. This was a whole day at the beginning of the game! If someone could seize the opportunity during this period, it was more than enough to kill 2 more bosses.
Then of course, Fang Linyan couldn't tolerate wasting another night, so he decided to sneak in. In short, the city wall of Ye Wancheng might be unattainable for ordinary people, but for a strong man like him, it couldn't be a reason to stop him from moving forward.
After observing the city defense for a while, Fang Linyan frowned because he found that he had underestimated the guy who built the city wall of Ye Wancheng. There were sentries everywhere, and he couldn't see if anyone was observing from the outside. Not only that, but there were patrols passing by on the city wall every few minutes.
Not only that, this capital city was quite large. There were more than 10 city gates. The buildings inside were towering and brightly lit, which was beyond Fang Linyan's expectation.
Just when Fang Linyan frowned and was thinking of "Quirrell's headscarf" and planned to take a risk to rush in, the city gate opened …
Then, a few soldiers brazenly placed a few stools at the door and sat down. They even placed a wicker basket beside them. Someone even began to shout.
"It's only open for 2 hours. The entry fee is 1 silver per person!"
Thus, several merchants who had been waiting there swarmed in. Looking at the silver in the baskets, the guards at the door grinned from ear to ear. They were already discussing how to buy two catties of dog meat and a few catties of wine for supper.
In this regard, Fang Linyan immediately went over and paid the money. However, when he walked through the city gate, he looked at the city wall that was 6 or 7 meters thick. He couldn't help but think,
The sturdiest fortress would always be breached from the inside!
After entering Ye Wancheng, he could see that it was still crowded inside. Obviously, the nightlife was still quite rich, especially the hot weather during the day. When the sun set at night, people went to the streets one after another.
After some inquiries, Fang Linyan knew that the most prosperous place in Ye Wancheng was the "6th Street and 3 Markets". The 6th Street referred to the 6 long streets that ran through the capital. The 3 Markets were the East City, West City, and Wa City.
Among them, the East City focused on animal husbandry, and the West City focused on groceries.
The Wa City focused on entertainment. There were also "Wa Zi", "Wa Sho", "Wa Si", which were brothels, teahouses, taverns, and places to perform various tricks.
There were brothels in the Wa Si to perform various dramas, history lectures, palace songs, puppet shows, etc. There were also stalls selling medicine, divination, hairdressing, food, and so on. It was equivalent to a combination of a street of bars and a street of food stalls.
Needless to say, the East City and West City had been closed at this time. If he wanted to go to Jinguang Temple, he would have to pass through Wa City.
Not only that, Fang Linyan also heard that Meng Gu's son, Meng Fa, was now serving in the Supreme Judiciary of the imperial court. He was considered to have power and influence. This made Fang Linyan happy in his heart. Isn't the clue of Meng Gu's seal settled?
This trip to the capital just happened to kill 3 birds with 1 stone.
