Beiyin Great Sage

  Chapter 77 Missing

   "My lord, we still have a child in our family. Without this food, we won't be able to survive this cold moon!"

   "Get out!"

  The roar was loud, while the cry seemed weak and desolate.

   "I set up a stall in the market, and those who have paid the tax, Lord Hoborg promised to protect us!"

   "We never discount the errands arranged by the Huo family, such as repairing the city wall, paving roads, and arriving at work, and we never asked for a single yuan."

   "You are forcing us to die!"

   "Poof!"

  A figure covered in blood staggered out of the forest, and was immediately chased by several patrols, who hacked to death on the spot.

   "Bah!"

   "If you have no money or food, get out of Huojiabao, there is no need for waste here!"

  The patrol team took the knife and left.

   With the white hair wind, Huojiabao's corpse will not become a walking corpse. After the wind blows overnight, only bones and bloodstains will remain.

  …

  Someone was walking down the street with disheveled hair and blank eyes.

   "Without food, how will Hanyue live?"

   "Business in the market, Huojiabao takes 30% of the money, and the transaction in the inner city is even more ruthless. Even the fee for entering the city is tens of dollars..."

   "We never said anything, how can I feel sorry for Huojiabao?"

   "Why can people in the inner city eat and drink well without being afraid of the white hair wind, and now they don't even sell food, only the outer city?"

   "The Qian family will not come out! The fish and dragons will not come out! The Liurentang will not come out..."

   "Only us out!"

  …

   "I fight with you!"

   "Poof!"

   Corpses fell one after another.

   night.

  The white hair howled, unable to suppress the faint crying.

  Zhou Jia was lying on the bed with his clothes closed, his eyes open, staring at the messy traces of the 'roof' above that had been torn out by the ax wind, in a daze.

  The criss-crossing imprints are like this world, chaotic and disorderly, there is no perfect place in sight, everyone is like insects on the Internet, struggling in it.

   Tyranny is fiercer than a tiger!

  Huojiabao seems to have no taxes, but in fact they are exploited by the Huofu everywhere.

  The original money is not valuable, but because it has the Huo Mansion's endorsement, it has become a tool of circulation, and as much as it is printed, it will be eaten outside.

   To set up a stall, you need to buy a stall.

   To enter the city, you need to pay the city fee.

   Not to mention forced work from time to time, if you don’t want to work hard, you have to pay for deductions.

   Countless residents of the outer city support the prosperity of the inner city with their labor, blood and sweat, and the residents of the inner city support the lofty Huo Mansion with their high expenditure.

  The strict class, the power of the upper class to crush the lower class, makes it difficult for people to resist.

   That's all.

  As long as it is safe, it is estimated that most people can also tolerate it.

  However, the Huo Mansion obviously doesn't pay much attention to the living conditions of the residents in the outer city. In the eyes of some people, the residents from the outer city are the targets of search at any time.

   Those who disobey will be beaten; those who disobey will be killed.

   Just like today!

  Huojiabao's law of the jungle never pretends, but he has lived a relatively stable life for more than a year, making him mistakenly think that this is just a society similar to ancient times.

  In fact, it would not be any different if the power of the barony came in.

  Zhou Jia was lucky.

  When I first came to Huojiabao, I got a lot of origin stones.

   There are occasional windfalls, and there is very little time to worry about Originium, but most of the residents in the outer city are actually living near the line of food and clothing.

  In order to survive the cold moon, I don’t know how many people’s homes have been emptied.

   At this time, it happens again, how many people can bear it?

  In the Ruins Realm, there has never been a time of tenderness. If you think that you can completely stay away from danger by hiding in Huojiabao, it is just a delusion.

  One day when the gentle veil was lifted, there was also a biting cold wind inside.

people,

   Not necessarily safer than monsters.

"Hey!"

   Turned over, Zhou Jia closed his eyes:

"sleep!"

I do not know how long it has been.

   "Shua!"

  Zhou Jia suddenly opened his eyes.

   His eyes flashed, he quietly picked up the ax and shield, got up and opened the door a gap.

   At this time, the sky was not yet bright, but the white hair wind had receded, and the faint smell of blood was carried into his nose along with the breeze.

not good!

   With a heartbeat, Zhou Jia opened the door and rushed out.

  The door of Angie's tree house was opened wide, three foxes with two tails fell in a pool of blood, the house was in a mess, and Angie was even missing.

   "Dah..."

  He paused, his eyes flickering.

   Angie's strength is not strong, only around the fourth rank, but that doesn't mean he's easy to bully.

  Three-headed and two-tailed foxes, each of which is a sixth-rank existence, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and agile movements. If the three heads attack together, even a seventh-rank master may not be able to win.

  Besides Angie, there are not only two foxes, but also a few hidden things, and his strength is not weak either.

to be frank.

  Zhou Jia asked himself that his strength was not weak, but facing Angie, who had the blood of the Son of the Forest, he might end up with more defeats and fewer victories.

but now…

   The intruder killed three foxes with two tails in just a short moment, and Angie didn't even have time to call for help. How strong should the opponent be?

  Bapin?

  Ninth grade?

   After a moment of silence, Zhou Jia stepped back carefully.

   Can't afford to mess with it!

   At this time.

   "Shua!"

  Under the corpse of a two-tailed fox, a gray shadow suddenly sprang out.

  Zhou Jia subconsciously swung his ax to chop, but stopped halfway, letting the gray shadow fall on his shoulder.

   "cheep...cheep..."

   This is a small thing shaped like a mouse, only the size of an adult's thumb, with gray hair all over, and inconspicuous. It was once seen in Unji's house.

  Although I don't know what it can do, but it is definitely not focused on lethality, coupled with its small size and unobtrusiveness, it was lucky to escape disaster.

  The gray mouse jumped back and forth on Zhou Jia's body, jumped to the ground from time to time, and scurried in a certain direction far away.

   "Where is the direction that Angie was taken away?"

  Zhou Jia was thoughtful:

   "You want me to save him?"

  With the strength of the opponent, it is easy to kill Angie. Since there is no body, there is a high probability that it was taken away, and the purpose is unknown.

   "cheep...cheep..."

   Gray Mouse nodded repeatedly.

"Ah…"

  Zhou Jia put away his ax and shield, turned around and returned:

   "You think highly of me, that Angie guy doesn't know who he has offended, he can't do it two days later, and I haven't even given me the veterinary drug formula."

   "Twenty origin stones are in vain."

  ...

  The inner city is still prosperous.

   It seems that the chaos in the outer city no longer exists.

  The high city wall divides the inner and outer cities into two worlds.

  On the street, pedestrians have already changed into thick cotton-padded clothes, their faces are leisurely and contented, and they are walking around various shops with their families, discussing what to hoard for the cold moon.

  When people from outside the city are struggling desperately to survive the cold moon, their sweets, meat, and drinks are all indispensable.

  Ancient Hammer Shop.

  The area of ​​more than a hundred square meters is not too large.

  The ground was compacted, the ore was piled up messily, all kinds of weapons and axes were arranged in a mess, and the fiery high temperature came out of the furnace.

  Several sturdy half-elves were busy in the shop, shouting loudly mixed with the sound of beating weapons, making people's ears buzzing.

   "So big!"

  Long Duo held the Lei Yuan Stone in his hand, showing surprise on his face:

   "It fits into the ax more than enough."

   "Really?" Zhou Jia felt relieved:

   "Just enough is enough."

   Originally thought that Lei Yuanshi was only the size of a fist, and the ax was as big as a washbasin, maybe not enough, but now it seems that I was too worried.

   "Absolutely enough!" Rondo nodded:

   "Even if it is fused into another weapon, it is enough, but the activity of this thing is too low. If you want to smelt it, you will not be able to do it for a while."

   "Oh!" Zhou Jia frowned:

"how long it takes?"

   "It will take a month..." Rondo pursed his lips and said:

   "I forgot, the cold moon is coming soon. During the cold month, the furnace temperature will drop, and the smelting progress will be affected. One month is probably enough."

"so long?"

   "It's not too long, how can a high-grade weapon be successfully built?"

   Rondo shook his head:

   "Your ax is already made of good material. After incorporating the Lei Yuan Stone, it may be like cutting vegetables and melons even if you are a seventh-rank master."

   "I would like to borrow your good words." Zhou Jia cupped his hands, thought for a while, and said:

   "You said, can the remaining things be integrated into a weapon?"

   As he spoke, he stretched out the shield in his hand:

   "This, will it work?"
