Xiao Zhi led Qianye Wu all the way to Wang Shu's position.
Their current location is really far from the nearest city, not to mention Wang Shu, neither of them has a mount. If they only use their legs, it may take a long time to walk to the city.
Xiao Zhi was thinking about how to arrange the rest time, but there was a sign in front of him that looked somewhat similar to the station sign he was familiar with.
He walked over to have a look and found that it was really a stop sign.
Xiao Zhi still remembered that in the past, if he wanted to go to a farther place, besides walking by himself and using the teleportation array between cities, he had to spend a lot of money to set up a temporary teleportation point, or he only had options like horse-drawn carriages.
Unexpectedly, after 600 years, there is even a public transportation system in the game.
While waiting for the car, Xiao Zhi flipped through the forum.
It turns out that about 200 years ago, the Ehi mine was discovered on the Dazemenya continent. This energy mine has pushed the continent's technological level forward, and vehicles similar to cars have appeared.
Really technology makes people progress...
However, in this land with magic and all kinds of magical powers, technology has not flourished like a real human society. It is only used as an embellishment of details to make the lives of mainland residents more convenient.
After all, no matter how fast the car is, it cannot be faster than the teleportation array.
Not long after, the bus came.
But this doesn't seem to be called a car, after all, it has no wheels, and it doesn't drive on the ground. It looks more like a flying boat with a roof.
Xiao Zhi glanced at the price tag, and it would cost 800 gold shells to get to the nearest city.
Without any psychological burden, he secretly hid Qianye Wu in the big sleeve of the mage's robe, bought a ticket for only one person, and then found a quiet corner to sit down.
There were not many people on board, and there was no one around them.
Qianye Wu struggled to poke his head out of Xiao Zhi's sleeve, and lowered his voice: "Seventh brother, I am the crown prince of Qianye... What if people know that I am a dignified crown prince and want to evade fares in my own country?"
Xiao Zhi said flatly: "If you are capable, you can buy the ticket yourself."
Qianyewu: "..."
The dignified crown prince, of course, would not bring his own money.
Xiao Zhi continued to make up his sword: "Besides, I remember that a certain person is planning to quietly return to Wang Shu."
He emphasized the word "quietly" to remind the other party of the current situation.
Qianyewu's leaves drooped, and she said without hesitation: "Then let me take it as a visit to the lives of the common people."
At this time, other passengers on the boat glanced in Xiao Zhi's direction, and Xiao Zhi quickly pressed Qianye Wu's head and pushed him back into his sleeve.
Qianyewu: "..."
He is autistic.
·
Hessen, in a pale and cold palace.
The silver-haired man was sitting alone in the empty room. Except for a chair, there was no decoration here. Not far in front of him was a shimmering magic circle, in which only some small black snakes made of straw were stored.
If anyone else sees this scene, they will be very surprised, because the name of this magic circle is called the shadow of time, which can slow down the passage of time for the items in it.
But such a magic circle consumes a lot of money, and usually only the most important treasures or keepsakes are placed in it, but now it is used to store some worthless straw snakes, which is a waste of resources.
In this pile of little snakes, most of the blades of grass have withered and faded with the traces of time, but only one is fresh.
Gently holding this somewhat different snake in his bony hands, Frost looked at it carefully with lowered eyes. This little snake is similar to his others, but not the same, and the detail is a bit too much.
He murmured in a low voice, as if asking, but also as if he was only talking to himself: "Did you come back, or did they have a new move..."

After getting off the spaceship, Xiao Zhi walked near the teleportation array in the city, preparing to go to the capital.
The price list of the teleportation array is clearly written. From Aola, a small border town where they are currently located, to Chiba City where Wang Shu is located, it will cost - 5000 gold shells.
It's really evil inflation. In the past, this distance obviously wouldn't exceed 500.
Xiao Zhi took a deep breath and told himself to be calm, this is all investment, for a better life in the future, this is the cost that must be invested.
Saying goodbye to the cute little Qianqian, Xiao Zhi stepped into the teleportation array with Qianye Wu in his arms.
When the transmitted brilliance dissipated, what appeared in front of Xiao Zhi's eyes was a huge tree whose canopy had already sunk into the clouds.
The trunk of this tree is incredibly thick, like a mountain. Among the green leaves, every branch is strong and powerful. Countless buildings are built on the branches, interweaving into streets, which look prosperous and spectacular.
This is the king tree of Chiba Kingdom, and at the same time, this tree itself is where the capital Chiba City is located.
The middle and lower layers of the Wangshu are the cities where ordinary residents live, and the area at the top that is already above the clouds is where the palace is located.
Originally, the painting style of Chiba City was quiet and full of vitality, but now it seems a little noisy.
Many Chiba soldiers in armor patrolled around Wang Shu, and many players also participated in it, looking very lively.
With a gentle and clean face, Xiao Zhi gently asked the nearby players: "Hello, it looks quite lively here, do you know what's going on?"
The man saw that Xiao Zhi had a good attitude and good looks, and his mood immediately improved a little.
He pointed to Wang Shu and said, "There is a temporary public mission over there. After you join, you can get rewards by inspecting it. It's not dangerous. It's quite easy. You can go and see."
He added another sentence: "You can also join Prince Chiba's camp after receiving the mission. You can exchange zone rewards according to your contribution. It is estimated that this camp will not be open for a long time. Go, it's not a loss."
After bidding farewell to this player, Xiao Zhi took Qianye Wu to a corner and secretly observed the situation.
Depending on the situation, all the players here have joined Qianye Lan's camp.
For the players, they don't care about their position, it's the same for anyone who fights, as long as there is a reward to get it, and Qianye Lan seems to be very generous.
During this period, Xiao Zhi also heard the conversations of the players.
"Qianye Lan is really generous, a little contribution can be exchanged for red medicine."
"I can change weapons if I save a little more."
"Yes, there is still money after each inspection. This public task is really good. I really hope there will be more in the future."
"Why don't you say that King Qianye didn't choose him as the crown prince? I really don't want to plant green onions for Qianye Wu anymore."
"Hahaha, me too. I smelled like green onions all over my body some time ago, and the young ladies didn't want to talk to me."
"yes."
Xiao Zhi glanced at Qianyewu.
Qianye Wu's eyes were full of tears.
After several players walked away, Qianye Wu said emotionally to Xiao Zhi: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
Although words like "public task" would be replaced by "job" and "entrustment" in Qianye Wu's ears, this did not affect his understanding of those Athanasi people saying that Qianye Lan was better than him.
In contrast, Seventh Brother is really kind and selfless.
Xiao Zhi rubbed his forehead: "Stop talking, besides, I can't help but betray."
Thinking about the harvest of Qianye Lan's camp, and thinking about his 5,800 gold shells so far, he felt a little pain in his heart.
It's a pity that the system reminded him when he accepted the mission that he couldn't join Qianye Lan's camp, so he had to go all the way to the black side of Qianyewu.
Qianyewu: "..."
Whoa whoa whoa, the Athanasis are really big pigs.
Both felt like they were on board at the same time.
But since it's a thief ship, it's not so easy to get off, they still have to continue to move forward together.
Since he wanted to move on, Xiao Zhi felt that it would be better to find out the situation first, and he asked, "Do you know of any secret passages to enter the palace nearby?"
Qianyewu shook his head: "Maybe there is, but I don't know."
Xiao Zhi: "Don't you live here? Why don't you even know your own home?"
Qianye Wuli said bluntly: "If your home is hundreds of thousands of square meters, can you know all of them?"
Xiao Zhi: "..."
It makes sense.
It is the life of the common people that limits his imagination.
Since there was no ready-made shortcut, Xiao Zhi could only think of a way to sneak in with Qianye Wu.
The two walked more than half a circle around Wang Shu, and finally found a vacancy in a patrol area.
The two players who were originally in charge of this piece fought for unknown reasons. At this time, you punched me and I was very involved in the fight, and cordially greeted the elders of the opponent's family.
It seems that in the past 600 years, the traditional culture of human quarrels has not changed much.
Xiao Zhi seized the gap and jumped across the cordon from the blind spot of the two of them.
As the capital of the country, Qianye City on Wangshu is naturally not small in size, and the number of buildings is also very large, which is convenient for Xiao Zhi to hide in.
However, due to the rebellion, all the residents hid in their homes. Except for the occasional patrol soldiers, there was no one to be seen on the street, which seemed a bit lonely.
Xiao Zhi led Qianyewu forward like a hide-and-seek.
After advancing for a while, Xiao Zhi hid in the alley, looked up at the lush king tree above his head, and felt that he was still very far away from the top.
He was about to continue when he heard footsteps coming from the corner ahead.
Soldiers on patrol.
Feeling bad, Xiao Zhi planned to go back the same way, but heard another set of footsteps not far behind him. The voices on both sides are getting closer and closer to the alley where he is, and if this continues, there will be a victory meeting in a few seconds.
Xiao Zhi looked around, stepped forward quickly, and climbed over the wall of the alley neatly, that movement seemed to be very skillful, and he didn't know how many times he did it like this.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he landed, Xiao Zhi came face to face with a yawning Chiba soldier.
Damn it, there actually happens to be a guy hiding from fish in this place!
There was still a trace of confusion in the soldier's eyes, as if he didn't expect that he was hiding in such a place to catch fish, and someone would fall from the sky.
Both parties were a little caught off guard and were taken aback by each other.
The soldier touching the fish saw Qianyewu on Xiao Zhi's shoulder, opened his mouth subconsciously, and was about to blurt out an exclamation.
Now they are too close, and there are patrolling soldiers not far away. If you use a fire spell, the skill effect will undoubtedly reveal Xiao Zhi's location, and the pre-casting action of the silence spell is too long.
But Xiao Zhi still raised his staff.
He didn't make any movement to cast a spell, but swung his staff on the soldier's head without hesitation. The delicate but hard staff knocked him unconscious quickly and successfully stopped the exclamation he was about to utter.
At this time, a voice came from not far away:
"Did you hear anything?"
"Ah? No."
"What's the sound, did you fart?"
"Bah, you're the one who farts!"
As the voice faded away, Xiao Zhi and Qianye Wu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Qianyewu looked at the fallen soldiers and asked, "Brother Seven... aren't you a mage?"
Why does this method of knocking the sap look very skilled.
Xiao Zhi smiled politely and gently: "It's just a physical stun technique, it's a trivial matter."
Qianyewu: "...?"
