Chapter 11 Fangshi
The magic core, on the Dou Qi Continent, is also called the magic crystal, as well as the prototype of the elixir, etc. As the name suggests, it is an energy crystal core in the body of Warcraft, which is filled with extremely violent heaven and earth energy. For this This kind of violent energy, even a fighting king would not dare to take the risk of exploding his body by forcefully inhaling it.
However, although the magic core cannot be directly absorbed by humans, it is an indispensable main material for alchemists to make medicine. The magic core refined by the alchemist using secret methods will be neutralized by some magical herbs to reduce the violent attributes. , transformed into various strength-enhancing elixirs coveted by countless people, and their worth suddenly skyrocketed!
Furthermore, magic core can also be added to weapons. Weapons with magic core will not only be more destructive, but also have the attractive special effect of increasing fighting spirit, which is highly sought after by the fighting class in the mainland.
Of course, in addition to weapons, magic cores can also be added to armor and other items, bringing powerful defense to the owner, giving people a little more life protection when facing danger.
With so many special effects, the magic core has undoubtedly become the most popular mainstream material in Dou Qi Continent. Not only the Dou Qi practitioners, but also the distinguished alchemists often travel all over the world to find high-level magic cores to refine. More advanced elixirs.
Driven by this trend, magic cores on the mainland are in short supply almost all year round. As soon as high-level magic cores appear at auctions or other places, they will be taken away at high prices.
The high cost of magic cores has naturally created a large number of mercenary groups that specialize in hunting and killing magic beasts. However, obtaining magic cores is not an easy task.
First of all, Warcraft is not only powerful, but also extremely cunning. Due to its ferocious nature and special attack methods, Warcraft is often a bit stronger than the strong humans of the same level. Therefore, if you want to hunt Warcraft of the same level alone, you have to go above and beyond. With such strength, it is easy to steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Secondly, not all monsters have energy crystals like magic cores in their bodies. This seems to be a random probability. Sometimes, when a mercenary group kills a monster with half of the group's casualties, maybe In the end, he was left empty-handed. This kind of thing is common in Dou Qi Continent and is not uncommon...
Therefore, the value of magic core in Dou Qi Continent has always been at the top for a long time, and it is extremely popular.
…
He led Xun'er through a few turns on the spacious streets, and finally entered a medium-sized market located in the south of the city. There are several such medium-sized markets in Wutan City, and they were divided into three in the city. The big family controls the place where Xiao Yan comes, and the Xiao family controls it...
It is said to be control, but in fact it is better to say that it is to maintain the order and security of the market. As a reward, mercenaries or merchants who set up stalls and trade in the market must pay some commissions to the family. This has always been the principle of Douqi Continent. There are rules, but it's rare to see anyone messing around.
Entering from the main gate of Fangshi, there were two guards from the Xiao family at the door. They obviously knew Xiao Yan and the two of them. When they saw their arrival, they were all stunned, and then they bowed slightly.
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan walked straight in, stood by the door, looked at the endless flow of people inside, and couldn't help but smack his lips. No wonder the family has strict control over the market. With the profits brought by this kind of popularity, I'm afraid it won't be small...
"Third Young Master, Miss Xun'er, do you want to buy something when you come to Fangshi?" Just when the two of them were dazzled by the crowd, a respectful voice came from behind.
Hearing the voice, Xiao Yan turned his head. Seven or eight big men wearing uniform uniforms of the Xiao family were standing behind him. The speaker was the leader, a strong man of about thirty years old. The man had a badge on his chest. The badge. There are six gold stars painted on it. Obviously, he is a six-star fighter.
Looking at Xiao Yan's confused gaze, the man smiled honestly and said respectfully: "Third Young Master, my name is Payne. I am the captain of the guard appointed by the patriarch himself, specializing in guarding the safety of Fang City. Haha, Master Payne had his birthday last year. I came here to see you..."
"Oh, it turns out to be Uncle Payne."
Xiao Yan blinked his eyes. Although he had no impression of this big man, his introduction just now made Xiao Yan smile. Since he was personally appointed by his father, he is naturally his direct subordinate. , loyalty should not be a problem.
Although the Xiao family is not a super powerful force, the family is also divided into several factions. If the big man in front of him is from other elder factions, then he will not bother to pay attention and just deal with it casually.
"I'm bored in the clan, so I went out for a walk. Uncle Payne, go and do your work. If anything happens, I'll call you." Xiao Yan's childish voice did not have the arrogance of the young master, but was polite and gentle, which made him People feel happy when they hear it.
The honorific title of uncle made the smile on Payne's face suddenly grow a little thicker, and at the same time he became a little more eager. He shook his head, nodded and smiled: "Then, third young master, you can just wander around as you like, we are everywhere in the city." If something happens to you, just shout."
Nodding politely, Xiao Yan pulled Xun'er, got into the crowd, and then disappeared...
"Pari, take two people to follow the third young master and warn those golden fingers in the market. Anyone who dares to set their sights on the third young master and Miss Xun'er will stop hanging around here in the future." Looking at the disappearing boy. With the girl, Payne turned around and shouted softly, and the simplicity on his face turned into leanness in an instant.
"Yes, captain!" A big man nodded solemnly, waved his hand, and led two men into the crowd.
"Haha, the third young master is still so gentle in his treatment of others. It's really comforting..." Looking at the three people joining the crowd, Payne smiled, and then sighed with regret: "Such a good young man, it's a pity, alas..."
Shaking his head regretfully, Payne also led his men to patrol the streets...
…
Following lazily behind Xiao Yan, who was wandering around casually, Xun'er glanced at the crowd behind him without leaving a trace, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Xiao Yan, that Payne is not bad."
Xiao Yan hummed softly and glanced at a vendor next to him. His soul perception was much stronger than ordinary people, so he also knew clearly about the guards who were following him. He looked back and said, Yan slowed down and walked side by side with the girl next to him. He sniffed the girl's body fragrance as elegant as green lotus, tilted his head and said jokingly: "The nine-level fighting spirit can sense three guards who are proficient in concealment. Xun'er, it's very unusual..."
Xun'er followed Xiao Yan's example, shrugged cutely, and once again used her trump card: smile, silence!
Staring at the girl's silent expression, a warm smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips. He gently patted the girl's little head with his palm and laughed in a low voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Although it's not I know exactly who you are and what your background is, but I only know that you are my Xiao Yan’s sister. No matter what happens in the future, remember, stand behind me, and I will help you block the wind and waves!" Xiao smiled softly, Yan's palm patted lightly again, his pace quickened, and he moved forward.
Xun'er paused in her steps, opening her beautiful big and smart eyes, staring at the young man who walked forward gracefully after finishing speaking. After being stunned for a long time, Xun'er finally came back to her senses, with a soft smile on her lips. The meaning gradually expanded, and finally rendered that delicate little face extremely attractive.
In the bustling market place, the girl stands and smiles. Her elegant figure is like a green lotus in the world, elegant and indifferent...
"Sister? Xun'er is a very greedy girl..." tilting her head, Xun'er murmured softly, then pursed her lips and smiled, moving her steps slightly to catch up with the leisurely young man in front of her.
…
Following Xiao Yan around, he slowly entered the depths of Fang City. The things sold in the depths of Fang City are generally much more precious than those outside. Therefore, customers who can come here to buy will be in Wutan. The city can be considered to have some strength.
While Xiao Yan was busy looking for the magic crystal, Xun'er came to a clean stall out of boredom. Yingying stopped, stretched out her fair and delicate wrist, and picked up a light green bracelet. The material is ordinary, but some ice silver is added to make it feel cold to the touch. It is very suitable for summer wear. Although the material is ordinary, it is also chic and elegant...
After playing around for a while, Xun'er was about to buy it, but he remembered that he had lent all the money to Xiao Yan. He slightly turned his head and looked at the young man who was busy with his own things. He had no choice but to shake his head and rushed She smiled apologetically at the old man behind the stall, put down the bracelet, and walked lazily forward again... With her elegant temperament, it was difficult for her to ask anyone to buy something for her, even if it was Xiao Yan...
Not far away, Xun'er, who was a little bored, was about to go back to accompany Xiao Yan, when a clear laughter suddenly came from the front.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Xun'er? Haha, I didn't expect to meet you here. What a fate."
With a slight frown on her slender brows, Xun'er looked for a sound, but saw a crowd of people rushing over. In the crowd, like stars over the moon, surrounded a richly dressed young man.
The young man is around 20 years old. He is quite handsome, but his face is a little pale. His eyes are burning with passion at this time, staring closely at the slim young girl not far away. In his eyes, there is Unabashed admiration.
