"Looking for someone." Ye Chong's answer was as simple as ever.
"Oh." Leader Yu squinted his eyes as he studied Ye Chong's frail body, and agreed readily, "Alright." He thought to himself, "This young man is going to Line Shaft City to look for someone. That would be a little tricky." Generally speaking, the people who went to Line Shaft City were either apprenticed to a master or merchants like them.
He had been to Line Shaft City many times. He deeply understood that anyone who could gain a foothold in Line Shaft City was not an ordinary person. What kind of place was Line Shaft City? It was the true capital of alchemy. Almost 30% of the world's alchemists were crammed in that small place.
Who knows, he might even get to know the person from Line Shaft City if he brought this young man along. As a merchant, no one knew better than him the huge value of this place. Although the probability was not high, with such a negligible amount of investment, it was undoubtedly a rather good deal.
The shrewd merchant grasped the key point almost instantly, and made the right decision.
Leader Yu laughed, "The caravan will depart in three days. You'll need to come the day after tomorrow, so I can arrange your team."
"Team?" Ye Chong was surprised by the term.
What a rookie! Leader Yu understood, but he did not show it on his face. He explained patiently, "Because of the long journey, for everyone's safety and for the management of the road, we need to arrange everyone into different teams."
For the next two days, Ye Chong stayed at Zhao Ying's house. Ye Chong had a good impression of this honest man. He taught Ye Chong a few more ways to bake plants. Curing plants was a basic course that almost every alchemist had to learn. However, the specific method would vary depending on the school of alchemy. Especially when it came to some special plants, the differences were even more obvious.
As for the professional bakers, they were more demanding in terms of heat control and other aspects, and the ingredients they bake were highly sought after by the alchemists. Advanced bakers were highly respected, and the ingredients they bake were highly sought after, and the price was much higher than the usual ingredients in the market.
Ye Chong's knowledge was incomparable to those professional bakers, but he had learned a wide variety of things, including the baking methods. These skills were not enough for Ye Chong to become a professional baker, but it was more than enough to teach Zhao Ying a few skills to support his family.
Ye Chong stopped at the entrance and said calmly, "You may leave."
Zhao Ying and his wife escorted Ye Chong to the entrance of the trading house. Zhao Ying's expression was a little reluctant. "Be careful on the road!"
Zhao Ying's wife handed the prepared rations to Ye Chong and said gratefully, "You are a good man! I'm sure God will protect you. Yesterday, Ah Shan and I prayed to God. You will definitely be safe! "
Ye Chong nodded and took the food. He did not say a word and turned to enter the trading house.
He didn't like to say too much when parting.
The trading firm was bustling with activity.
"Is everything ready? Let me tell you, there's still a long way to go. Don't make any mistakes. Bring a few extra medium sized sacks. Also, don't forget to put the desiccant in every sack … "
Leader Yu stood in the courtyard of the trading house, hands on his waist, shouting orders to the people.
Leader Yu, who looked like a drunkard two days ago, was now in high spirits and full of vigor. Seeing Ye Chong, he quickly greeted, "Oh, young man, you're here. Have you packed everything? "Team Leader Yu, who had long wanted to make friends with them, was very enthusiastic.
Ye Chong nodded and replied, "Yes."
Just then, a large group of people came into the courtyard. Almost instinctively, Ye Chong took a few steps back, almost imperceptibly.
Leader Yu's reaction was no slower than Ye Chong's, but one was retreating while the other was advancing. Leader Yu smiled as he trotted forward, his wrinkled face looking like a blooming chrysanthemum, "Oh my, oh my god, what brings you here, old man? Please, come in! Please, come in! " Team Leader Yu, who was usually condescending, had been hunched over ever since these people came in. She had never straightened her back.
The leader of the group was an old man with white hair and beard. He was about 70 years old, with a kind face, but even standing there, he exuded the dignity of a superior. The servants at the side also lowered their heads. As long as one lived in this city, who wouldn't know this city's City Lord?
However, Ye Chong's attention was not on the old man, but on the few people behind him.
As if sensing Ye Chong's gaze, the men turned to look at Ye Chong.
Their eyes were as sharp as swords!
Ye Chong's pupils shrunk! His right foot lightly stepped to the side, and his body was in a slightly tense state in an instant.
This was Ye Chong's automatic reaction to the threat, and he did it before he could think.
It had been a long time! He had never met anyone who could make him feel so threatened. Even Ye Luo could not make him feel so threatened.
Five! Five dangerous experts! Ye Chong narrowed his eyes, his heart pounding. He could not believe that he would meet five such experts in a small place like this. More importantly, the five of them were like wild beasts ready to devour him, their eyes filled with violence.
Just as Ye Chong moved, the five of them moved as well! They took a wrong step and switched positions.
The five of them narrowed their eyes, staring at Ye Chong. The one in front was the weakest. He leaned forward, ready to attack.
The middle-aged man with a goatee, dressed in green, was surprised by his companions' actions. However, he quickly realized what was happening, and his expression changed.
However, the six of them did not attract the attention of the others. Their movements were small and silent.
Ye Chong's mind worked quickly, but his eyes remained calm. He did not make any hostile moves.
Who were these five people? Each of them had the strength of a Congregation expert. In this place where there were no mechs, these five experts were a formidable force to be reckoned with. Besides, Ye Chong could tell that the middle-aged man with the goatee was an alchemist, and an accomplished one at that.
Ye Chong stood still, not wanting to cause any misunderstandings. If the five of them attacked him at the same time, Ye Chong believed that even with his mech, he would not be able to summon Moon King under the combined attack of the five of them.
In fact, when two combat experts of similar strength fought, even if one of them had a mech, it would not be of much help to him. Summoning a mech and entering the pilot cabin would take some time. Moreover, the rhythm of a battle between Grandmasters of Combat could often reach up to ten times per second. How could they give you such an ample opportunity?
That was why many mech pilots in He Yue Galaxy had died at the hands of combat experts. They were all killed before they could enter their mechs.
Seeing Ye Chong's calm demeanor, the few of them quickly calmed down. They looked at Ye Chong meaningfully.
Ye Chong and the few of them had only fought in the blink of an eye.
"Haha, Brother Yu, business has been good recently." The mayor's voice was loud, and he laughed amiably.
Leader Yu was flattered, and quickly replied humbly, "It's all thanks to you. Under your wise leadership, look at this place. Everything is in order. Not a single thing is left behind on the road. It's a prosperous place. Only small businesses like us can make a living. "
How could he not flatter the mayor when it was such a good opportunity?
The mayor laughed and said, "Brother Yu, you're too humble. I've long heard that your esteemed merchant firm's business is very big. "Then his tone changed," Younger Brother Yu, this time I'm here to ask for help from your esteemed merchant firm. "
"Look at what you're saying, aren't you making fun of me? If you have any orders, you don't have to come in person. Just send someone to inform us, and we, the trading firm, will do our best. We'll go through fire and water for you. " Leader Yu looked impassioned, but his heart tightened. Oh my, he's not here to ask for money, is he?
The mayor smiled faintly, "These friends of mine want to go to Line Shaft City. I heard that your trading firm is going to Line Shaft City this time, so I brought them here to discuss if we could bring them along."
"Aiyo, what are you talking about? Don't mention such a small matter. Just give the word, and we'll do anything for you. No problem, no problem at all! "Hearing that it was a simple matter, Leader Yu quickly patted his chest and agreed readily. He glanced at the few people behind the mayor from the corner of his eyes, and wondered who these people were, for the mayor to send them off personally. They were probably not ordinary people, and he would have to get on their good side.
The mayor nodded in satisfaction. After that, he exchanged a few words with the people behind him, and the astute Leader Yu picked up on the underlying meaning in the conversation.
After that, the mayor left the trading firm with his guards. The six people who stayed behind were the ones that Ye Chong had been paying attention to.
Team Leader Yu received the six of them with great enthusiasm. The other party's indifferent response made him even more certain that these people were people who had seen the world, so he became even more enthusiastic.
Ye Chong did not expect to be assigned to the same team as the six people.
