Sanya County.
Coming here, Chen Lin once again discovered something, that is, all the cities above the county level here are named after body parts.
For example, the capital was called Mucheng, the prefectural capital was called Zuicheng, this place was called Sanya County, and there were also Daya County and Erya County, as well as Shiya County and Wuya County, and so on.
They are all part of the head.
Chen Lin also learned from Zuo Bingning that this world is divided into countless areas, each area is a country, and there is a barrier between the areas, which can only be crossed by those with supernatural powers.
Moreover, a country is a race. People of different races are separated by blood and cannot have offspring.
This situation made Chen Lin more and more suspicious, and he felt that this world was the private domain of some powerful person.
His desire to leave became stronger and stronger.
Unfortunately, although Zuo Bingning has a good family background, her status is still not high enough, and she knows little about the deep secrets of this world.
It may not be easy to leave, and no demon world node has been found here, so it is impossible to leave through the demon world.
So he had to go to the capital and find people at a higher level to investigate.
There was still about a month left before the day of welcoming the spirit. After not getting any news in Sanya County, Chen Lin headed straight for the capital.
He did not take a boat as that would be too slow, so he just released Xiaocao and let the other party carry him flying on the sword.
He only chose to go through desolate mountains and wild hills, and did not encounter any danger. On the way, he even killed some ignorant robbers and gained a lot of money.
In less than ten days, they arrived near the capital.
Outside the capital.
Chen Lin looked at the towering city wall, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the city gate.
Since not all people in this world are headless, as long as he carries a lifeline that indicates vitality, even if he is discovered, he can only be considered a person from another country, which will not cause too much shock.
However, there seems to be very little communication between countries here, so it is better to avoid being discovered.
The inspection at the city gate was not strict. After entering the city, Chen Lin first found an inn. After settling down, he went to inquire about the information of the Soul Kingdom delegation, and also learned about the magical treasure box.
Although Zuo Bingning and the other two girls had their souls imprinted by him, their words could not be completely believed and needed to be verified carefully.
What Chen Lin had not expected was that there was actually a trading place in the capital city that specialized in selling items belonging to those with supernatural powers. It was similar to the market place for cultivators, and its area was not small.
From this we can also see that there are many people with supernatural powers in this world.
No one noticed his abnormality for such a long time, which meant that his disguise was pretty good. Chen Lin's tense mood gradually relaxed. He tidied the head on the tray and walked into the market.
"What's this?"
Chen Lin came to a street stall and picked up an object with many small holes on it.
The stall owner took a look at the golden tray on Chen Lin's shoulder, and immediately smiled and said, "This young master must have obtained supernatural powers not long ago. This is an eagle whistle, which is used to refine a golden-winged eagle. With a golden-winged eagle, you can fly! My eagle whistle is the work of a famous craftsman in the country of hand. The success rate of refining a golden-winged eagle is very high. I originally planned to use it myself, but something happened at home, so I had to reluctantly give it up. If you like it, you can take it for ten gold dimes!"
Chen Lin nodded in surprise.
It turned out to be a whistle used to train monsters. If it can carry people and fly, it must be a large monster. It can actually be tamed. It seems that the cultivation system in this world is also quite complete and mature.
But he didn't have time to train the golden-winged eagle, so he put the things down and walked inside.
"Sir, please don't leave. If you think it's too expensive, we can negotiate. How about five gold horns? Three or one will be fine, right?"
The voices of the stall owners behind him continued to be heard, but Chen Lin remained indifferent. However, it did give him some understanding of the prices in this market. They asked for sky-high prices and tried to rip off as many customers as possible. One had to bargain well for anything he bought.
Even if he makes money easily, you can't be a sucker.
He wandered around while thinking, but after walking for a while, he didn't see anything good, especially the maps and books he wanted to buy. So Chen Lin stopped visiting the stalls and chose a larger store and went in.
This is
When he walked into the store, Chen Lin was stunned and shocked by the rows of cages in the lobby.
There is a person locked in each cage!
These people have their heads tied back to their backs, exposing their bodies. The men are very strong, while the women are slim and graceful.
"Sir, do you want to buy a body? The ones outside are just average. If you want a better one, you can go to the second floor."
A sweet-looking woman came over with her head held up and introduced herself to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin looked over in surprise, he knew that people here could change their bodies, and he also heard of the existence of body trading, but he didn't expect it to be so open and aboveboard.
And it seems that they kill and replace them immediately.
After the body is separated from the head, the animal can survive as long as the head continues to receive a constant supply of nutrients, but the body cannot last long.
After taking a few glances, he shook his head and walked towards the item area on the other side.
Since it can be sold openly, it must be legal. The people in these cages are probably either volunteers or death row prisoners. However, he has no intention of changing his body, and he cannot do so.
The hall is very large. In addition to the area occupied by selling bodies, there are several rows of containers filled with items used by those with supernatural powers.
"Let me see this knife!"
Chen Lin walked in front of a container and saw a peculiarly shaped short knife, so he asked the clerk to take it out.
"My lord, you have good eyesight. This is a Tongxuan sword made by a famous master in the country of Shou. It can double the power of supernatural powers. It only costs thirty gold dimes!"
Seeing Chen Lin's noble appearance, the clerk immediately started to introduce him enthusiastically.
Chen Lin ignored the other party and quietly condensed a strand of magic power and input it into the blade.
Then disappointment appeared in his eyes.
As expected, the treasures here require a special kind of energy to activate, and magic power has no effect at all.
Then he tried using his soul power, spiritual consciousness and even the power of luck, but none of them worked. He then pretended not to like it and put it on the counter.
After watching for a while, Chen Lin gained some knowledge and decided to leave.
Suddenly, his expression froze and he looked towards the counter in front of him.
This is the area where sundries are sold, and there is a wide variety of things on sale, but his eyes were fixed on a piece of metal debris.
Fragments of the Cold Moon Sword!
Chen Lin never expected that he would see the fragments of the Hanyue Sword here. This sword has been with him for countless years and he would definitely not make a mistake.
Since fragments of the Frost Moon Blade have appeared, it means that the Frost Moon Blade has fallen into this world, so the Black Tortoise Shield should be here.
He couldn't help but get excited.
Without the super defensive ability of the Basalt Shield, he became timid in doing anything. If he could get the shield back, even if it was damaged, it would greatly enhance his strength.
Thinking of this, he walked to the counter and pretended to look around casually. After asking about a few small things, he pointed at the fragment of the Frost Moon Sword and said, "What is this? It looks like a broken sword. How can such a thing be placed in a big store like yours? Is there something special about it?"
The clerk was a white-faced man. He raised his head when he heard what Chen Lin was pointing at. There was a slight flash in his eyes when he saw what Chen Lin was pointing at, and then he took the thing out.
"Sir, please don't underestimate this thing. It looks like just a fragment of a knife, but it is very strange. Of course, you don't know how strange it is. It was our appraiser who said so. If you are interested, you can buy it back and study it yourself, or you can go to our appraiser to ask. He is on the second floor."
After saying that, he handed the fragment to Chen Lin and secretly glanced at Chen Lin's head with the golden helmet.
"Oh, no thanks, I'm just asking out of curiosity."
Chen Lin put the fragments back without any fluctuation in his voice.
Then he turned and walked to other counters, and left the store after a while.
Walking out onto the street, he touched the head on the tray, then looked back at the shop sign.
Wanbao Pavilion.
Just now when he asked about the fragments of the Frost Moon Sword, the guy's behavior was a little abnormal. Although it was very slight, he still noticed it, so he didn't ask more questions and didn't buy the things.
As for why the guy behaved abnormally, it was very likely that someone discovered the peculiarity of the fragment. After all, it was a spiritual treasure. Whether it was the refining materials or the treasure restrictions on it, or the spiritual charm contained, they were completely different from the treasures in this world. It was normal for someone to discover the clues.
It was placed on that counter probably to see if anyone knew it, or to lure out the owner of the treasure. If he bought it, he would definitely get into trouble.
If it was the Black Tortoise Shield, then he could take some risks, but for the Frost Moon Blade, which was just a fragment, there was no need for that.
Next, Chen Lin visited several large stores, hoping to see if any of them had magical treasure boxes for sale, and to learn more about the relevant information. Unfortunately, he didn't see any.
No trace of the Frost Moon Blade or the Black Tortoise Shield was found.
"My friend, please stay!"
After Chen Lin finished his shopping, he was about to leave the market and go to the palace to take a look when suddenly a clear female voice sounded from behind him.
He turned around and was stunned.
The one who called him was a gorgeously dressed woman, tall with a curvaceous figure, and an unusually delicate face. She also had an ethereal aura that gave people an inexplicable sense of distance.
The other party was followed by more than ten followers and two maids, making for a very grand occasion.
The main thing is that these people's heads are on their necks!
Soul Nation Mission!
This name suddenly appeared in Chen Lin's mind. His eyes lit up, but he immediately pretended to be surprised and said, "Who are you and why are you so strange?"
“Bold!”
Hearing Chen Lin's words, a silver-armored guard immediately shouted at him, and then said in a cold voice: "You are meeting Her Highness, why don't you quickly pay your respects!"
