For the next two weeks, Lin Shuo and Su Dongdong ran around.
Of course, with Lin Shuo's handling style, he would definitely not treat himself badly.
The business of this hunting team is different from the past. In the past, it was in the wilderness, and the logistics materials had to be transported from the rear, mostly by air.
And this time the place of work is a town, and logistics materials are available everywhere, and can be solved on the spot, the key is to rely on money to buy.
Lin Shuo is not short of such things as money, but it doesn't matter whether it is RMB or US dollars, they only recognize the local currency of Daxizhou.
The currency of Daxizhou is gold, silver and copper coins. The styles of the three empires are different, but the weight is the same, and they can be exchanged for circulation.
When the group temporarily settled in the earl of Xilan, Garcia gave some money. The earl, who was born as a scholar, gave ten silver coins, the purchasing power of which was equivalent to 10,000 yuan.
Garcia's second brother, Nemea, is a big spender. When he heard that Lin Shuo was going outside to relax, he directly gave a bag of gold coins, fifty in total.
This is equal to 500,000 yuan, and gold coins are not available to ordinary people. Ordinary people will not use currency with a denomination of 10,000 yuan to live. First, they can’t earn that much at ordinary times. zero.
Not to mention gold coins, there are very few silver coins, which are a symbol of nobility.
Lin Shuo took his wife with him on this trip, spent gold coins, and was served as a nobleman no matter where he went, so life was very comfortable.
And the chariots and horses here are different from those in the European Middle Ages.
Lin Shuo originally thought that it would be tiring to walk back and forth with more than a dozen earldoms, and it would be better if there were horses to ride.
However, Lin Shuo is not a layman, he has learned it since he was a child, and he knows that it is not only bumpy, but also rubs his crotch.
It would be fine if he rode a lot, because there are calluses on the inner thighs, but for a person like Lin Shuo who has never ridden a horse since he learned how to ride a horse, riding a horse for more than ten days would be a pain in the flesh.
Of course it doesn't matter if Lin Shuo's flesh and blood suffers, the key is to take his wife with him. Lin Shuo loves his wife very much and thinks it's not okay.
After arriving at the central town of Beishan Earldom, Lin Shuo originally wanted to hire a carriage, but he was overjoyed when he found out.
It turned out that in the market that day, there happened to be Tianma from the Mingyue Empire in the west brought over by sea for auction, no more, no less, exactly two horses.
Pegasus, in short, is a horse with a pair of wings. It is said that it is a relatively rare flying mount in Daxizhou.
For Lin Shuo and his wife, it is like giving pillows when they are dozing off. Flying in the sky not only has a good view and speed, but also does not bump, so it will not hurt the white and tender skin of their daughter-in-law, otherwise the callus will turn black easily. .
So Lin Shuo entered the auction house of the Earl of Beishan, and followed the price hike.
Why is it just raising the price instead of buying it directly? Because he has inquired that Tianma is a rare item. The normal price is usually more than one hundred gold coins, and that is just one horse.
It is wishful thinking for Lin Shuo to buy two horses for fifty gold coins.
So the leader of the hunting gate didn't plan to buy it, but went to the auction house to raise the price first, and raised the price as soon as possible to let the auctioneer drop the hammer. Then, whoever bought the two Pegasus horses, Lin Shuo would stare at the unlucky guy and grab them.
Things were well planned, but something went wrong in the last link.
The one who bought these two Pegasus horses for three hundred gold coins in the auction house was Nemea's deputy military commander, a ninth-level archer named Lun.
The troops in Nemea's hands are the legacy of the old duke. There are a hundred elite fighters, at least at the seventh-tier level, generally at the eighth-tier, and the strongest are five ninth-tier fighters.
The leaders of these elite fighters are two people, one is Hercules and the other is Lun, representing the two factions respectively.
Most of the people like Hercules were either down-and-out aristocrats or simply from commoner backgrounds. Because they were eager to make contributions, they worked hard in wars, so they were reused by the old and current Dukes, so Hercules was military commander.
And the other small group of soldiers represented by Lun are petty nobles and barons in the first place. Although they don't have much territory, they have a manor anyway, so they can live comfortably and have a lot of savings in their hands.
They follow the boss to do things in war, so they are more casual, and they often don't work hard, so even if Lun's strength is not inferior to Hercules, he can only be a military deputy commander.
The two groups usually do not fight each other. Now that Hercules died in Lin Shuo's hands, Lun took over the position of military commander of the Principality of Mia, and he was very grateful to Lin Shuo and his gang.
Coupled with Lin Shuo's status as an imperial envoy, a celebrity around the emperor, he, a little baron, would definitely not be able to offend him.
So when Lun saw that Lin Shuo and his wife wanted the two heavenly horses, Lin Shuo didn't need to open his mouth and offered them with both hands.
So Lin Shuo finally worked up the courage to rob him, but he didn't succeed.
Of course, things cannot be collected in vain, so Lin Shuo wrote another bad check, saying that he asked Lun to wait at home, and the judges of the Imperial Archers Association would go to Lun's manor soon. This ninth-level archer is not far away from being awarded the title.
Thank you very much, Lun En led the horse for Lin Shuo, walked for a full five kilometers, and personally sent Lin Shuo and his wife out of the town.
After leaving the town to bid farewell to Lun, Lin Shuo naturally flew into the sky, feeling quite sorry.
The people of Daxizhou are simple and honest, and these people are really easy to deceive.
But not long after this thought wandered in his mind, Lin Shuo realized that he had been deceived.
Tianma is not as evil as they said before, it can soar for nine days and travel thousands of miles a day.
In terms of biological evolution, this thing is just an assembled product, and its body structure is actually not so suitable for flying.
Therefore, it is true that Tianma can carry people to the sky, but it is mainly for temporarily crossing some terrain obstacles, so as not to take a long detour, but in fact it cannot fly very far.
Looking at it as a whole, the flying ability of this thing is not much better than that of a chicken. It can bounce a few times in the sky, but it has to fall after a short distance.
So it's still the same old problem, mainly running on the ground, not only bumping, but also grinding the crotch.
But the matter has come to this point, there is no way to praise or criticize, let's hurry.
Let’s not go to the Earl of Xilan for now. Garcia is more difficult to deal with, so I have to put it at the end. Lin Shuo will take the road to the south first. The Lord of the Earl of Nanling over there is the fourth sister of Artemis. The two sisters have had a close relationship since childhood. good.
…
The leader of Liemen made a call to Kunlun Park before his two-week touring visit to the Principality of Mia.
What Lin Shuo meant was that, judging from what he has learned about Daxizhou recently, although the government here is relatively backward in science and technology, due to the strong overall strength of the practitioners and the existence of the "Tianshi", Daxizhou is no match for other continents on the earth. In fact, it has strategic deterrence capabilities.
The people in Daxizhou, from the emperor to the common people, mostly still have a cognition and understanding of the other continents of the earth in ancient times, and they don't think that the other continents of the earth have the ability to deter them strategically.
This caused Daxizhou to be in a state of preparation for war as a whole after discovering that the Celestial Master barrier had disappeared.
This is the meaning of sharpening the knife to the pigs and sheep, that is, their political system is backward, and the efficiency of the state machine is low, so mobilization is very slow.
Of course, other continents of the earth are sending advance teams to Great Western Continent, and the three great empires of Great Western Continent must be doing the same, but their communication methods are very backward, and it will take a long time for news to come and go.
And as the high-level leaders of Daxizhou continue to grasp the intelligence of other places on the earth, it stands to reason that their state of preparation for war should stop.
But the problem is that Daxizhou is different from other places on the earth. They have not experienced the Cold War period on the earth, so the high-level leaders may not have a sense of strategic deterrence.
And even if the high-level people have a sense of strategic deterrence, they also understand that the rest of the earth is not what it used to be. Both sides have deterrent capabilities and cannot easily start a war. But as far as their political system is concerned, the emperor has very limited restrictions on the lords below. Once the people below go to sea to fight and expand their territory, the emperor cannot control them.
The history of the European Middle Ages has proved that the enfeoffment system and the expansion of territory in foreign wars are an inevitable demand.
Therefore, Lin Shuo predicted that if the situation is allowed to continue, large-scale intercontinental wars are unlikely, but small-scale local wars should be inevitable.
Of course, with the current position of Daxizhou, if you want to fight, you will fight against Europe or America, and it has nothing to do with China.
But now the whole world is still fighting against the beasts and alien species. From the perspective of the international alliance, it is obviously inappropriate for China to let this situation go.
As for Lin Shuo's team, temporarily trapped by personal matters in Daxizhou, they may have to stay in the Principality of Mia for a long time because they want to find their mother Yun Yuexin.
It is only natural for a son to find his mother, but in the international situation, it is easy to fail to keep up with the changes in the situation.
So Lin Shuo offered to ask Kunlun Mountain to reorganize a group of people to come to Daxizhou, as the advance team of China, to conduct state exchanges with the three empires of Daxizhou, to avoid further deterioration of the situation, and at the same time to lay out for China's future interests.
Lin Shuo usually concentrates on business and rarely makes such state affairs suggestions.
As the chief leader of Liemen and the representative of China's practice circle, he holds the title of Vice-National at the top of China, so once he said something like this, he would immediately listen to it.
As a result, we hit it off with the top management, and the top management has long wanted to do this. Just taking into account the overall strength of practice in Daxizhou, ordinary people can only bring hot weapons to protect themselves, but the power of this weapon must not be understood by Daxizhou people. It may be regarded as heresy and intensify conflicts, so send Only people in the practice circle can go there.
In the domestic practice circle, Lin Shuo and Qin Xiangyang, the two deputy national figures, have the final say. Lin Shuo is already on Daxizhou. It is inappropriate for the high-level officials to take care of Lin Shuo's face, and then entrust other practitioners. At least to seek Lin Shuo's opinion first, but Lin Shuo lost contact a while ago.
Now that Lin Shuo not only resumed contact, but also raised the issue, it would be great.
Chief No. 3, as the leader of the Kunlun Project, directly called Cao Yusheng, saying that after discussion, the high-level leaders fully agreed with the suggestion of the leader of Liemen, and asked the Kunlun Mountains to follow Comrade Lin Shuo's wishes.
When Cao Yusheng heard that this was a national mission, what else did he say? Find someone quickly.
After much deliberation, the old schemer found that in terms of candidates, there were actually not many suitable for this task.
At present, the three masters of Liemen, Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun, have already been dispatched, leaving only Zhang Jin.
So Zhang Jin must be counted as one, this is the guarantee of the team's combat power.
It's just Zhang Jin's brain, which is definitely enough to deal with wild beasts and alien species, but if he sticks his head into a crowd and fights with others, he's just fine with picking up girls, and the rest is not very effective.
So He Yongchang had to follow, the Patriarch of the He family was not only strong in battle, but also smart.
After the two cores are selected, the rest has to be considered comprehensively.
Lin Shuo's nephew, Lin Hu, has also entered the Nine Realms Realm. Lin Shuo once instructed Cao Yusheng to give this kid more opportunities to practice, and he has the Lin family's unique skill of hearing the wind and distinguishing positions, which is suitable for use in unfamiliar environments. .
The above three are mainly cultivating power, and it is very common in Daxizhou to cultivate gods, so Tang Lingyu, who can release the spiritual barrier, must follow, so that the team is safer.
In addition, since Zhang went in, his two wives had to arrange for one of them to follow him, otherwise Zhang Jin would bring another daughter-in-law back, and the old Zhang's family would be restless. Miao Xiaoxian was pregnant, and Chu Hongchen was quite good as a scout hunter of the strong nine realms, so that counted.
It is almost complete, but there is still a lack of a master who is good at borrowing to provide long-distance support.
Miao Xueping is of course the best candidate in terms of combat power. Yang Bagua is very strong, but this woman Cao Yusheng understands very well, she is a godsend, and her seniority is high. Neither Zhang Jin nor He Yongchang can hold her down. Just change it to Jin Wenlan.
The Patriarch of the Jin family is now also the Nine Realms of Great Perfection inherited from the Jin family. Not only are hidden weapons emerging in endlessly, but he also has the ability to control the sword with one hand, and his comprehensive ability is very strong.
After drawing up the list, Cao Yusheng looked at it and couldn't help but smile wryly.
Old schemers like to think ahead of the worst.
This is another elite team of Liemen, overall it is not weaker than Lin Shuo's team. Looking back, if something happens to Daxizhou and the two teams are completely wiped out, then Liemen, which has managed to regain its vitality in recent years , This is another night before liberation.
With these in mind, Cao Yusheng sent the list he drafted to his son Cao Mian, and asked the hunter to contact these people.
Cao's father and son have not been working together in recent years, and they are far away. After all, one is the dean of the college and the other is the mastermind of the hunting gate. They are mainly responsible for different things.
It's just that this time, the No. 3 chief personally entrusted Cao Yusheng with the task, so he could only step in and draw up the list for his son.
As a result, as soon as the email was sent, the phone on the desk rang. Cao Yusheng picked it up and heard the voice of his son Cao Mian:
"Grandpa, come to my office quickly."
"Brat, there is no big or small." Cao Yusheng became angry when he heard it, "I am a father and you are a son. Why don't you come to my office to discuss something?"
"Old man, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, hurry up!"
After Cao Mian said this, he hung up the phone.
Cao Yusheng held the receiver for a long time but couldn't recover, thinking that this kid's wings are stiff.
So he angrily asked the driver to prepare the car, and rushed to Cao Mian's office in a hurry, thinking about teaching this kid a lesson.
As a result, the old mastermind ran into his son's office murderously, and before he could swear, he was stunned when he saw the satellite real-time high-definition map that only Cao Mian's office had.
Because on this satellite map, there is another continent.
Unlike Daxizhou, this continent is in the Pacific Ocean, very close to Huaxia.
