Chapter 325: King Wu Shang's younger brother's invitation.
Yan Mo put away the gold needle and said to Ying Shi of the Black Water Tribe, "I will wait till you come back to the shed to see me."
Ying Shi nodded, and Agu-Da decided to follow suit.
Yuan Zhan, with a sullen face, separated himself from the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu, and joined Ying Shi, Agu-Da and Elder Hao in welcoming the nobles.
The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu ran over and stretched out his hand. "I saw it!"
Yan Mo, "what did you see the old man?”
“Needle! What material is it made of? What's the usage? Is it the same as the one you used to sew up the warriors’ wounds with?”
The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu nearly died of curiosity. He was curious about Yan Mo and Ding Ning's treatment of stitching human beings like animal skin cloth. They used a curvilinear bone needle, which had been made from bone. Now he saw Yan Mo pulling out a different needle. How can he stand it?
Yan Mo had no choice but to pull out a gold needle and give it to him. "Well, first of all, this is a set I got from the temple of ancestral gods. This one can only show you, but not give to you. If you are interested, I will make another set for you using bones."
The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu grabbed gold needles and just looked at it carefully. "What did you say just now? You want to make a set for me using bones? You... Can you make bone objects? “The last few words are a little loud.
Looking around, The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu immediately lowered his voice and came up to Yan Mo like a thief. "Mo ah, can you really make bone objects?”
"Yeah, Shifu, let's go back and we will talk about that."
The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu jumped out of place like a rabbit, jumped back and touched his head with a smile. “Mo ah, I will never call you a fool again. Hey hey, my disciples not only knows herbs and curses, but also make bone objects. Later I will take you back to Wucheng-City of Witches, Dead-Fat-Elephant will be jealous of me. Trust! But you can't go looking like that at that time. They would have thought I had found an old monster to deceive them.”
Old monster Yan Mo, "..."
The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu bumped into him excitedly. "Now that you can make bone objects, give me a set of bone needles like the ones that you used to sew human flesh. I also want to find some people to sew. Hey hey, I thought of a new curse. How do you like it when you wake up all night and find yourself sewn together? You can also sew your mouth, your eyes, your arms together, and your legs in one piece. This curse is so good that I have to think about it!”
Yan Mo, "..." Can he not listen? After hearing this, the old man's guilt will be counted on him in The Guide, right? Right!
But as a fellow researcher, he understood the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu's idea very well, so he gave the old man a set of surgical needles without hesitation.
The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu had a new toy and was glad to find an experiment immediately. Yan Mo looked up to heaven. He went to see what those nobles came to do.
The Black Earth City aristocracy is divided into two kinds, Wu Shang's bloodline and high-ranking warriors. The temple is above both.
This power structure is also the main component of most urban construction tribes at present.
Compared with the Jiu Yuan people and the Black Water people, the Duo-Na Clan and the Great Obscuri Tribe saw that these nobles, in turn, showed some joy, especially the Obscuri Tribesmen.
There are many nobles who come by, but the position is the highest among those who are surrounded by the middle. The man in his early twenties. He was wearing beautiful fur, high-grade crystal ornaments, and a bone dagger that is less than a foot long hanging around his waist.
Some of them stopped in front of them and some went straight to the other tents.
For example, there is a tent in front of them, which is occupied by two warriors coming down from the city. They also have people who can heal. However, from their respect, those two people should be the temple servants of the two cities, rather than the higher ranking the priority.
How happy did the nobles who passed by talk to the two warriors who went to the lower city?
But more nobles stopped in front of their tents, including the tallest young man and She-Dan.
Yan Mo didn't know what was going on, Zi Ming of the Great Obscuri excitedly whispered to Ding Fei (actually he wanted more to Ding Ning): "this is the noble people picking up people. I hope he can be picked up. I think he will not be able to choose a second one."
Aren’t you too honest, son? By the way, he heard Yan Mo laughing in one ear.
"It happens like this all the time?” Yan Mo approached Zi Ming and asked him in a low voice.
Zi Ming saw Yan Mo asking, he saluted him first, and answered, "Yes, Mo Da-Ren. But I haven't seen it yet, but I heard tribesmen at the Black Earth Training Camp say that every time after such a big competition or selection, the temple and the nobles will choose some strong warriors as guards, and it would be better if King could take a fancy to them. With the participation of so many affiliated towns and tribes this time, more powerful warriors will surely come out. These nobles have been waiting for them for a long time.
Zi Ming said happily, "I thought we were not in a good position. It's too far from the Temple’s Priest. Now... Hey hey, they are coming from the bleachers and they'll have to go through us first."
Yan Mo understands that so many people dare to come to their tent just because they are in the first stop?
And there, as Zi Ming said, the nobles began to attract people.
Those nobles looked at Yuan Zhan as if they were picking pork. If they were not taboo that these warriors were very strong, they could knead and touch with their hands, maybe they would have to open their mouths and look at their teeth.
"I know you are a blood warrior who can control plants. I ask you, what level of an ability are you now?” A thin-cheeked man in his thirties asked Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan is guessing the purpose of these people. Seeing that Agu-Da and Ying Shi are dealing with the nobility's questions, he also answered, "2nd rank."
The man frowned, apparently feeling that Yuan Zhan's divine blood level was too low, "What level of strength?”
Yuan Zhan reported a neither high or low number, "6th rank."
"Too low, although your blood ability is good, but your level is too low, the fact that you can withstand the first selection should mostly be because you depended on other warriors." According to what he saw, the man spoke with a sanctimonious voice.
Later, he looked at Agu-Da, who was talking to another noble. He wanted this man most, but he was the lowest among the nobles. He could not choose the best one first, but he could only retreat to the second one.
The man, who had no choice but to choose Yuan Zhan, said graciously, "I'm Wu Shang An Yang. Later, you will follow me and I will provide you with 2nd rank yuan-crystal coins every month. Every time your blood ability increases by 1st rank, I will change the level of yuan-crystal coins for you. In addition, the good property of your tribe can be traded directly with my people in the future. I will reward you with ten slaves, which you can dispose of at your own will. Well, if you agree, swear by your soul of war and drop your blood on this domino.”
Wu Shang An Yang said that as he handed a domino to Yuan Zhan when he found it in his arms. He thought Yuan Zhan could never refuse him. For a 2nd rank blood warrior, his condition was absolutely exceptional, and he could call Wu Shang in his surname. Anyone with a little knowledge would know that his bloodline must be very close to the King Wu Shang family, that is to say, his descendants would probably inherit something from him. The blood warriors of the earth would throw themselves at him for a chance of getting to a warrior training method! Although he is not...
Wu Shang An Yang seems to be afraid that Yuan Zhan does not know how good the conditions he has put forward were. He added, "If it weren't for your ability to control plant growth, this ability would be of some use to me. I would never have spent so much on recruiting a 2nd rank blood warrior. Except for me, no one else can offer better conditions than me.”
Yuan Zhan heard this and finally figuring out what these people were doing.
He did not know what price the high-ranking warriors was, so he did not think the price was low, but he was very upset that the expression and attitude of the other man seemed to be like he was selling himself.
Is he a bartered goods? If he had to sell himself, he will only sell himself to Mo Da-Ren.
Wu Shang An Yang thought that Yuan Zhan was trying to think of something to him, but the warrior didn't look at the dominoes he handed out. He turned around and left.
Yuan Zhan was going back to find his Mo. He's too lazy to waste time talking to these people.
Wu Shang An Yang was so angry that his hands were aching. So this man gave him this kind of response? Even if we refuse him, he should say two words of thanks and praise. Which savage tribe did this man come from? Can't you say any connective words?
There was a sneer next to him.
Wu Shang An Yang turned his head angrily and looked at the man who had just spoken to the leader of the Duo-Na. He had to bear the tone. He could not provoke him. The other man is also Wu Shang's bloodline, but the other side awakened the ability of blood, even if it is not high, that alone is also valued by His Majesty King.
But when he saw the same Duo-Na leader walking away, he guessed that the other party had been rejected just like him, and he felt a lot better.
Unfortunately, the man wanted to provoke him, and said to him intentionally as someone else: "Although the warrior's blood ability is only 2nd rank, he carried a lot of attacks to 6th or 7th rank's blood warriors. The vine armor shield he made, and the plants that could not be touched, as long as there is one, he can protect his own square well in battle."
Several nobles could not stop nodding. They were all good warriors. It was natural to see that Yuan Zhan's fighting power was not limited by his blood ability.
The man said, "And the warrior can also make rattan spear to attack far. Such a divine blood warrior who can attack far and near is not very common even in the Black Earth City, and he is only 2nd rank now. How ruthless would it be if he became 3rd rank, 4th rank or 7th rank? What this warrior needs is advanced training, not yuan-crystal coins, but someone tried to recruit him with ten 2nd rank yuan-crystal coins?" Sneer!
Wu Shang An Yang was tremendously angry.
But the man who heard him echoed, "Yes, that's what I thought, and I didn't go to him. Do you think this warrior can survive the next selection?”
"If he can survive, I'm afraid the temple will take him directly. His Majesty King may do the same."
Wu Shang An Yang did not want to listen any more. He could not recruit the Jiu Yuan's warrior and the better Duo-Na leader. He could see other warriors, such as the Duo-Na Clan, who were fighting well.
Ying Shi of the Black Water Tribe also refused a noble who tried to solicit him.
Old Hao of the Great Obscuri was the most respectful one. He immediately called Zhi Zhen along with the movable warriors after he saw the meaning of the distinguished aristocracy.
Yan Mo was asking about Yuan Zhan. What did the nobleman say to him, seeing Agu-Da and Ying Shi coming back, and he joked, "What? The conditions are not good?”
Agu-Da shook his head directly. "I want to go to Tucheng-Earth City. If I can't, I hope I can be seen in the Temple of the Black Earth City. I've been in 6th rank for a long time and need a higher 1st rank training method. Those nobles mostly have a certain power and yuan-crystal coins, the do not have the higher level training method, with them, I might as well directly join the Black Earth City warrior regiment.”
Ying Shi similarly said, "Noble, nobles and shrines of high status today will not open their mouths, they will at least wait for the next selection. We really need a backbone for Black Water, but it's too weak to do that. Besides, they have a big enemy, The Gaogang City.”
Several people thought that the solicitation would come to an end after their refusal, but She-Dan soon came with the youngest and most seemingly highest-ranking man in the middle.
As soon as the young man came, he explained his identity: "I am the brother of the city owner, Que."
You! There came a prince, but there seems to be no prince or duke now titles in this era.
Yan Mo now understands that the city lord and King are the same titles here. The most interesting thing is that no matter which city lord in The Three Cities is, he will call himself King, and so will the ones in the lower city.
Just like the priest of the lower city Temple and the priest of the upper city Temple are called priests, but when necessary, a prefix of the upper, middle and lower cities will be added in front, such as who is from a certain city in the lower city.
Yan Mo watches the other three together and looks at him - what does that mean? Is that all he wants to recommend them?
Well, on the face of it, he's the oldest and noble witch. It's reasonable for him to speak on their behalf to Que Da-Ren, but the question is, are you the Duo-Na Clan and Black Water tribes alone?
It's not easy for the Que to wait too long. Yan Mo had to look up and greet the Que: "it's Que Da-Ren. Is there something you want?”
WuShang Que's eyes originally fell on three warriors, Yuan Zhan and so on. When he saw an old man with silver hair talking to him, he looked at Yan Mo. "You are?”
"I'm the Witch of the Jiu Yuan. QueDa-Ren can call me Mo Da-Ren."
"It is Mo Da-Ren." The Que Da-Ren seems to have a good attitude at the moment. He does not show the princes' domineering and beyond your reach attitude. "I am here to express my thanks to all the warriors. Thank you for fighting with the Black Earth City warriors in this battle selection."
"No need to thank. I’m just saving lives." Yan Mo looks like a hackney witch.
Yuan Zhan three people had no response, and three people even talked about something else entirely.
WuShang Que's eyelids jumped. Do these people seem to have different attitudes from what he imagined?
Shouldn’t these people see him and be more scared? Although the knees of high-ranking warriors are very hard, there are still more Tribesmen behind them who are not necessarily full in winter. Aren't they afraid to offend him?
But perhaps these tribes are relatively remote, the tribal system is relatively backward, and they have no knowledge of the aristocracy.
After all, except that the Duo-Na Clan which was a tribe affiliated to them, the Black Water Tribe was previously only affiliated to the Gaogang City in the lower city, and the Jiu Yuan, whom he had never heard his name before. Even the Duo-Na Clan, because they live in a relatively subjective area, and tribesmen and their companion animals don’t have enough to eat, every winter some tribesmen have to be forced to hibernate, and he heard that many of those hibernating The Duo-Na Clan who fall asleep, they never wake up.
In this way, Wu Shang Que forgives these people for their almost rude inappropriate words and deeds.
"You are all very powerful warriors, and there are not many powerful warriors like you. What are your names?” Wu Shang Que directly skipped Yan Mo, looking at Yuan Zhan three people.
In his opinion, although Yan Mo is a great witch, he is only a low-ranking witch from a lower tribe which he has never heard of. He doesn't need to care about such a dying old man at all.
QueDa-Ren thinks he is self –righteous and kind, and his attitude as a superior is truthful, but the problem is that Yuan Zhan is not one of his people. Well, they are not sensible children as he saw them, it's just that the three are chiefs of a tribe or a warrior leaders. It's very awkward to hear him ask their name like this.
Yuan Zhan sneered directly.
Ying Shi of the Black Water Tribe stared blankly.
Agu-Da pointed to She-Dan behind WuShang Que. "My name, he knows. QueDa-Ren asks him.”
Yan Mo could not help smiling. "QueDa-Ren, we are all barbarians of the barbarian tribes. You can say something directly. If you want to solicit us, then make conditions. If conditions are good enough, we will seriously consider them."
Wu Shang Que's eyes flashed with a trace of contempt, who do you think you are to also think you deserve me to set conditions? In spite of this, he still maintained a decent smile on his face. If She-Dan hadn't reminded him that the Jiu Yuan warrior was a little special, he would not have noticed such a man.
But after watching this battle, he also admitted that She-Dan's vision was good. This Jiu Yuan warrior's blood ability usage was quite useful, and the other side was only 2nd rank. He trained well, and could not help him in the future when he contended for the position of the city lord. At least, he would not worry about not having fresh fruit from his second brother in winter.
But no matter how good the other party is, it's only 2nd rank!
Seeing WuShang Que's facial expression slightly cracked, it seemed that he could hardly maintain the stability and elegance of the royal family. She-Dan, with cold eyes, lowered his eyelids and quietly stepped forward, whispered the names of three warriors to the Que Da-Ren.
"Yuan Zhan, Agu-Da, Ying Shi, I remember you." WuShang Que hides his displeasure and smiles again on his face.
"Three, today is a day of hunger, but today is also my brother's birthday. Tonight there will be a celebration at the Royal Palace, not only to celebrate my second birthday, but also to boost the morale of our city warriors after the first selection you have fought with our city warriors and deserve to join in this celebration."
Speaking of this, WuShang Que did not give the three people any chance to refuse. He said directly, "In the evening, I will send someone to the Hundred-Battalion to pick you up to the palace."
Wu Shang Que and his party went away so aggressively.
Agu-Da suddenly said, "King Wu Shang is said to have four brothers and two sisters, but the elder brother and elder sister are no longer alive. The younger sister married another middle city, and at present only two younger brothers are still in the Black Earth City. King Wu Shang has only one eldest son and her daughter has not yet been born.
Looking at him together, Yan Mo came out of the information-rich world, and now he heard, "You mean King Wu Shang probably has no children to inherit the throne, but can only pass it on to his brothers?”
Agu-Da nodded. "This is what the people of the Black Earth City know. Even the Duo-Na has heard the rumor windmill.”
Yuan Zhan frowned. "I don't want to go. The second selection is two days later. I want to have a good rest." In fact, he wanted to touch his Priest Da-Ren before The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu forced him to leave.
Ying Shi said: "this person I don't like, I will see if there are other people coming to see me, if The Black Earth City future royal family are all like this, then I will take my people to other middle cities."
"You can bring your people to the Jiu Yuan." Yan Mo seems serious and playful.
Ying Shi rubbed his nose and asked, "Can you the Jiu Yuan solve my physical problems? Is there a training method for warriors above 7th rank? Most importantly, is there enough to eat all the year round?”
Agu-Da raised his ears.
Yan Mo is bad, just smiled and refuse to say anything.
Yuan Zhan looked at Ying Shi indifferent face. In fact, he was dying of waiting for the answer. Out of the little sympathy that Priest Da-Ren will tortured the two together, he patted him on the shoulder and suggested, "When we return to the Jiu Yuan, you can go back with us and see it and make a decision after that."
The author has something to say: after estimating the next plot, there are about two chapters. In a word, the storyline involving the Black Earth City will be over for the time being. ~~
