"It seems that he won't be able to recover for a while.”Fan She stood beside Thunder Wolf, looking expressionlessly at the road that was blocked by the various caravans.
A few months ago, the flash flood outside the City of Qi had destroyed the traffic hub between the city and the outside world, causing the communication between the city and the outside world to become a puzzling problem, seriously affecting the development of the city. Coupled with the strange incident known as the " Valley of Despair ", the people in the city were anxious and wanted to find an opportunity to leave the city. As a result, the newly opened road avoided the area hit by the mountain torrents. The people of Qi City who wanted to go out and the people from the outside world who wanted to come in to see the situation in Qi City blocked this newly opened road on the first day. Seeing the surging crowd at the intersection in front of them, it was inevitable that they were shocked.
It was still early, and the sun had just risen into the clouds. The sunlight was not piercing, and it was a rare warm weather. If not for this unexpected traffic jam, today would have been an auspicious day worth celebrating.
" Don't worry, we'll be there in a while…" The cricket bee laughed beside Thunder Wolf, but he was actually panicking inside. He didn't think that such a thing would happen on this new route. He had also gone to the front of the caravan to investigate just now. It was because a few caravans at the intersection in front of them had coincidentally bumped into goods, so there was a commotion. If nothing unexpected happened, they wouldn't be able to leave until noon. "If that fellow Lei Lang finds out, won't I be finished?”The cricket bee thought to itself as its face gradually turned pale.
"I'll go take a look." Cricket Bee smiled bitterly and jumped down from the carriage, pressing the long hat on its head. It slowly walked into the crowded crowd in front. There's no hurry. It'll be through soon. Cricket Bee comforted himself as he strolled forward. The tension that could not be relieved made his hands move uncontrollably.
Thunder Wolf looked at Cricket Bee's slightly bitter back. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't expose his identity, he would have gone to the intersection ahead to teach those noisy caravans a lesson. According to the laws of Baroque countries, those who blocked the traffic fortress would be punished by at least 1,500 Barks!
However, there was nothing he could do now. He heard from the people in the caravan that the owners of the caravans who quarreled had quite a background. They seemed to be from a noble family in Ming City, so no one dared to interfere. Thunder Wolf frowned at the thought of this. The nobles had made the upper echelons of Baroque into a mess. The king could not take extreme measures because of the regime. If this continued, sooner or later... Thunder Wolf immediately stopped thinking. This was not what he should be thinking about now. The most important thing was to return to Ming City safely as soon as possible. He turned his head and asked the Yin Fish, who was carefully wiping the crossbow with a cloth,""How is that little fellow now?"
"The Nether Turtle is playing with the machine box with him." The Yin Fish didn't raise its head and simply replied. According to Brahman Snake, he had to calm the little guy down on the way back. Although he didn't know if the relationship between him and the egg stone was real or fake, he had to avoid it. However, through Yin Yu's understanding of the demon spirit, he had a guess about the relationship between the egg stone and the boy, but it was not confirmed yet.
"Don't ask him any questions for now. We'll take the necessary measures after Ming City.”Thunder Wolf said in a deep voice, suppressing the excitement and joy in his heart. Perhaps this mission would become a turning point for the Baroque country.
"I know." Yin Yu replied helplessly. She slowly put down the crossbows in her hands and equipped them one by one. He didn't know how many times he had heard Thunder Wolf say this along the way.
"I'll go see him." Fan She said in a low voice. He also knew that there was not much hope of setting off in a short time, so he decided not to worry about it and turned around to enter the carriage.
When the Brahman Snake passed by her and entered the carriage, Yin Yu asked softly,""Are you really alright?"
He didn't know if Brahman Snake heard him, but he didn't answer. Yin Yu didn't seem to be in a hurry to get an answer from him. Recently, the feeling that the Brahman Snake gave him was no longer as unstable as before. After all, they were friends who had gone through life and death situations. It was better not to say that they were dead until the end.
However, he still wanted to figure out the reason for the strange phenomenon that had happened to the Brahman Snake during this period of time. Yin Yu was holding a thick book in her hands. She flipped to the page that she was looking at and pressed the title of the chapter with her palm. Seeing that everyone was focused on their own business, Yin Yu slowly moved his hand away from the book. The title of the chapter he was reading appeared in front of him: The disadvantages of Mo Ling.
Just as the Yin Fish was digesting the knowledge in the book, the cricket bee had already returned from the crowded intersection. It seemed that the trouble caused by the caravan in front of him could not be resolved in a short period of time. He had no choice. In order to fool Thunder Wolf and portray an image of him sincerely making up for his mistakes, he did not go back directly. Instead, he walked to the vicinity of the merchant group and prepared to gather information. After all, the caravan he was in and the other caravans had all come to a halt because of the commotion at the intersection. The entire traffic section had completely turned into a vegetable market. There were cars next to cars, people next to people, and some people even started to sell their goods on the spot and started a business.
Looking at this scene, the cricket bee could not help but nod its hat with a bitter smile and complain,""How troublesome." While complaining, he walked to a relatively looser stall with not many people. Looking at the machine boxes neatly placed on the ground, he suddenly thought of the boy in the car who had a bitter face and was happy when he was given a machine box by the Brahman Snake. He couldn't help but smile as he looked down at the oddly-shaped machine boxes on the ground.
These machine boxes could be considered a specialty of the Baroque. They were first popular in the Discerning Moon City, the capital of mercenaries not far from the City of Pact. It was unknown who had made these things, but they were now popular in various countries. Every box contained gifts from the creator. There were precious gems and pebbles that were not worth much. However, because no one knew what was inside, the price of these machine boxes was mostly the same. The harder it was to crack the box, the better the items inside.
The cricket bee picked up a mechanism box from the ground and carefully examined it. When the shop owner saw that someone was patronizing, he immediately rushed in front of him and began to explain the mechanism box in his hand with a smile. From its origin to its rarity, it was a beautiful description. Unfortunately, the cricket wasn't listening to a single word.
The cricket carefully examined the cylindrical wooden machine box with a round head. It could be seen that the machine box was covered with neat lines and patterns. The cylinder head was cut into eight parts by the lines and patterns, and one part was clearly engraved with the word " North ". The lines and patterns extended to the other side of the cylinder head, forming many square buttons on the side of the machine box. This kind of mechanism box was probably cracked by pressing the wooden keys on it. The cricket bee guessed and frowned slightly. The buttons on it were almost identical and there was nothing special about it. Naturally, he did not have any thoughts. Brahman Snake liked to play with these machine boxes. He had played with them a few times before, but after being teased by them a few times, he had never touched them again.
When the merchant saw the cricket bee staring at the mechanism box with a serious expression, he guessed that he was trying to crack it. He could not help but smile and stop his explanation. He had seen many customers who were interested in the machine box, but these things could not be seen with the eyes. He said slowly to the cricket bee," Sir, this is a mechanism box from Discerning Moon City. It only costs nine bucks. You can take it back and try it slowly."”
Hearing Shang clan's words, the cricket bee woke up from his daze. He was just trying to recall the method he saw the Brahman Snake use to crack the mechanism box, he did not really want to crack the mechanism box. Although these machine boxes were ingenious, you didn't know what was inside. To put it bluntly, these things were just using people's curiosity and luck to spend. If you really wanted the things inside but couldn't crack them, wouldn't it be done with just an axe? " This kind of thing is a waste of money…" The cricket bee mocked itself.
Just as the cricket bee was about to put down the box and walk away, a simple and honest voice came from behind him, making him stop what he was doing.
"Eh?" Xifeng and Shang clan both looked behind Xifeng in shock. Behind him stood a burly man in a grey robe, grinning widely. His two sharp eyebrows were in front of his honest but sharp eyes, and the most noticeable thing was naturally the long scar on his left eye.
