Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 340 Donghai Jun 1
The next day was sunny.

Although it is early spring, the beach is still a bit chilly.When Jiang Kao knocked on the door, he saw that Zhang Cheng's eyes were bloodshot.

Traveling in the form of cards, although there are no hidden dangers, but the free sleep is also lost.So Zhang Cheng at this moment is equivalent to staying overnight.

"Brother Zhang Chengxian, you look..."

"I didn't sleep well last night." Zhang Cheng made an excuse. "The sound of the water is too loud in this place."

"Indeed." Jiang Kao fully agrees with this.To put it bluntly, this place is indeed too close to the sea, not to mention that Lai Yi also dug a canal, directly turning this place into a seashore. "The sound of the tide kept me from falling asleep in the middle of the night. Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Zhang Cheng said.His body is very young, and this level can still hold up.

The two of them got dressed and went out, and after a simple breakfast, they continued their unfinished business of shopping yesterday.As mentioned earlier, the establishment of this city is obviously mainly for trade. Various specialties from the sea are the most common, but there are actually quite a lot of transactions between various land creatures.

Zhang Cheng's team of Laiyi servants also came from the water, a whole team of more than a dozen people, it can be described as mighty.So even though the two are Zhu Xia, they went smoothly in the city and no one dared to provoke them.Zhang Cheng bought a batch of tortoiseshell shells from several Lai Yi at a very low price.This is not the kind of small tortoise shell that is only a dozen years old, but the kind that can be known to be hundreds or even thousands of years old at a glance.Both sides of the transaction are happy.Zhang Cheng knew that this kind of thing on the earth was actually an organic gem, known as the soft gold of the ocean, and the price was very high.Not to mention the earth, it is also a high-end jewelry material in this world (don’t look at the fact that pearls are not worth much now, but tortoiseshell is becoming more and more valuable, so that the country has issued laws to strictly protect it).The murlocs thought that this kind of turtle shell with no fancy heads could be sold for money, and these terrestrial races were really stupid.Throwing this thing into the sea is actually like a stone, and no one takes a second look.They just picked it up at random.

Unlike Zhang Cheng who would pick up cheap things to buy from time to time, Jiang Kao hardly bought anything.In fact, he has been swirling in those commodities for a long time.Metals, food, salt, weapons...these are the things he cares about.

There are many markets in Guicheng, they visited one yesterday, so they chose another one when they went out today.The focus of today's market is obviously different from yesterday's.There are very few "hawkers" who sell a small amount of goods, and they are all caravans selling large quantities of goods.This is exactly what Jiang Kao meant.At this time, they stood beside a group of hunks, watching these centaurs bargaining with the lizardmen merchants.The lizardfolk were selling metal weapons - not bronze, but steel, and the centaurs were trying to trade some leather.

This is also the norm in this world.Bartering is a common phenomenon when the commodity economy is not particularly developed.

However, the lizardmen were not very interested in these cowhide and sheepskins, and the centaurs were interested in those metal spears and arrow clusters.Superficially so.But in fact, as a visitor from the earth, Zhang Cheng didn't have to spend much effort to see that these Huaiyi businessmen were actually just pretending.They are also very interested in these leathers.

This is a classic bargaining situation.In the end, both sides got not too bad results.The huns left behind a large amount of leather and departed with a load of metal weapons.The Huaiyi merchants were very busy—they had just collected the leather, and the second batch of hunks came again.

"It seems that many hunks are buying metal weapons?" Jiang Kao looked at this scene and said to himself. "What do you want to do?"

"Why are there so many monkeys here?" Zhang Cheng asked casually.He once met a group of hunks on the road (it was because of this that he met Jiang Kao).There was nothing special about it at the time, but now it seems that there are a lot of hooligans in this place.

However, whether it is the nomads on the earth or the centaurs here, their land should be far away from here.

"But I don't know." Jiang Kao replied.He also looked confused. "How about, let's find a Xuan or Lai Yi to ask?"

Zhang Cheng turned his gaze to Lai Zhi who was in the entourage. He said that although the Lai Yi were generally still in the tribal society, there were signs of differentiation, and hereditary nobles had appeared.These Laiyi hereditary nobles have not yet had a stable inheritance of power and wealth like other races, and future generations still need to rely on various efforts to gain public recognition and users, but at least the starting line is already much higher than that of ordinary people.

This Lai Zhi is such a nobleman.He didn't lie, his father was the king of Gray Algae Kingdom, or Fang Bo.So Zhang Cheng has reason to think that his knowledge is beyond that of ordinary murlocs.

"Xiaoxuan has been here for a long time," Laizhi replied, looking into Zhang Cheng's eyes. "After the completion of Guicheng, there will be exchanges between the hunks."

"They're close?"

"No, it's very far. They usually come by the seashore, and it takes twenty or thirty days to go back and forth. As for them coming here, I think it's because of Donghai-kun."

Zhang Cheng and Jiang Kao looked at the temple at the highest point in Guicheng.At this time, the waterfall above the temple is still hanging down out of thin air, and the haze is lingering. This scene is not like the world.

"Xiaoyun...does he also worship Lord Donghai?"

"Yes, at least a few of the Xianfang countries along the coast all worship Lord Donghai. And this is still a matter of the early years. In recent years, it is said that there are more and more Xuanxuans who worship Lord Donghai. There are even Yun is staying in Guicheng for a long time to do business."

"Oh, why is that so?"

"Mr. Donghai has always paid great attention to the believers, and will bless them in various ways." Laizhi said truthfully. "Besides, Lord Donghai is fair and has great powers. The Fang Kingdom that believes in Lord Donghai is becoming more and more prosperous, and there will be more and more people worshiping Lord Donghai."

"Is that... no one cares?"

"Who cares?" Lai asked back.Zhang Cheng was dumbfounded, and then remembered that a large part of the gods in this world are actually house gods who hide at home and create priests, and basically don't care about trivial matters in the world—at most, they can gather a few priests or believers as their eyes and ears, so that they can understand the situation in the world. Just understand.

In other words...there is a dead end of faith?No, it should be said that there is a huge gap in the world's beliefs that can be tapped.The gods don't care, that's why a great spirit like Lord Donghai appears.But from another point of view, no matter what kind of behavior Mr. Donghai does, even if his beliefs spread all over the world, and there are hundreds of millions of believers, this does not make him a god.

At least in this world, there is no necessary connection between belief and conferring gods.Conferring a god requires a priesthood, and without a priesthood, one cannot confer a god.Because the yellow bear saw through this point, he was willing to hide in a small swamp and silently create priesthood.On the surface, it looks like the yellow bear is having a bad time, but in fact, maybe it is the right one.If it fails in the end, it is also limited by objectivity and talent, not a wrong method.

"It's not good..." Jiang Kao saw a group of hunks buying a lot of weapons from Huaiyi merchants.The Huaiyi merchants obviously had a target.The weapons and equipment they sell are basically arrow clusters, spear heads and the like with high cost performance.Buy it back and simply process it to become a usable weapon.In the short time that Jiang Kao and others stopped, three batches of hunks had already purchased weapons and equipment.And it looks like these lizardmen traders have a lot to sell.

"What's wrong?"

"Originally, there were no soldiers for the hunks, and no armor for the Huaiyi...but now with the transaction in Guicheng, both sides have full armor!" Jiang Kao wanted to understand something, and took a breath.

"No armor?" Zhang Cheng thought of the scales on the lizard man.At the beginning, he thought that the scales should be effective protection, but later on in actual combat, he realized that these scales are actually nothing, at most, they are only a little better than the naked skin of the bipedal erectus (this is not the same as Lai Yi's) really incomparable).Therefore, if the Lizardman wants to fight, he also needs to wear armor and hold a shield.Bronze armor is too expensive, and steel armor is too easy to rust, completely unsuitable for the lizardman's living environment, but leather armor obviously doesn't have this problem.

And centaurs... Although Zhang Cheng has never been to the territory of centaurs, you only need to look at their enthusiasm for these metal weapons to understand.It is estimated that they don't have many bronzes, so they can only use bone or wooden weapons most of the time.

In other words... because of the existence of Guicheng and Lord Donghai, the two races have quietly increased their strength.

They must have been watching here for too long, so that the Huaiyi merchants began to become suspicious.A lizardman came over and asked if they were looking for something.Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Kao dealt with it casually and left the position.

Continue to visit the market along the way, where edible seaweed is sold, and Zhang Cheng bought some for everyone as snacks.There are also beef and mutton sellers. Zhang Cheng bought a cow as a dinner for the murlocs.There was also a seller of conch ahead, and Zhang Cheng also bought some of the largest conch.All of these are cheap even in the eyes of people in this world.

There are several Laiyi who sell sea armor in front.Specifically, they are selling armor-piercing pieces.I don't know if the armor is made of shells or corals. It looks brittle, but it's actually okay.Maybe not as good as steel, but it shouldn't lose too much to bronze.During the brief stop, Zhang Cheng met two groups of guests, one was Lai Yi and the other was Feng Yi.Snake people and lizard people are obviously very interested in this kind of armor with general performance but immune to rust.

"That's not right..." Jiang Kao sighed softly. "This is Guicheng... the trading of weapons and armor is a bit too much."

The wind rises from the end of Qingping, and the waves form between the waves. Jiang Kao can also detect some disturbing elements hidden in these too frequent transactions.Regardless of whether it was the various races of the Dongyi, or the Xianyu, or the Qiang Rong that they saw among them, they all seemed to be stepping up their military equipment intentionally or unintentionally.Considering this chaotic era, considering the great war between the Western Dog Rong and the Zhu Xia, this kind of thing is all the more... full of meaning.

Moreover, even until now, it is not clear what role Lai Yi plays in it.

In this way, the day passed by shopping, shopping, chatting and inquiring about news.At dusk, the two returned to the place where they stayed last night.Zhang Cheng bought a lot of things, especially today he found a vendor selling magic items - it was a Dongyi.He exchanged some glass jewelry for two hypnotic wands, and along the way, he also appraised his ring, which can only be said to be a windfall.That ring may be called the "Fire Serpent Ring", and it can call a fire elemental shaped like a fire snake to fight.This is not because there is some kind of summoning magic attached to it to summon the fire element, but that there is a space inside it for the fire element to inhabit.In other words, this ring is a rare treasure that can work normally anywhere.It does not have the various restrictions normal for such magic items.Even if it is placed in the harsh environment on the earth, it is also of the ultra-durable type, and it will last for several years without any problem.

After gaining a lot, Zhang Cheng was naturally in a happy mood, while Jiang Kao seemed a little worried.

Just like last night, Zhang Cheng and Jiang Kao went back to their rooms to rest after saying goodbye.As soon as he entered the door, the little bear immediately jumped out of the card.

"Zhang Cheng, we can go see Mr. Donghai now."

"Huh?" Zhang Chenglai felt that Little Bear hadn't come out of the card all day, but he didn't expect to get things done unconsciously. "Contacted?"

"Yes, Lord Donghai is very powerful. Its consciousness covers Guicheng, and it can contact him even in the card." Little Bear looked very excited. "I asked to meet and he accepted."

"Well, didn't you say that you need to give gifts?" Zhang Cheng thought of the soul gem.

"Of course gifts must be given. After all, we are coming to ask for help, so the etiquette must be thoughtful." Xiaoxiong said.

"How to get there? Should we start now and go directly to that temple?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"Okay, let's go directly..." Little Bear said.Before it finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Little Bear went back to the card, while Zhang Cheng went to open the door.There is no one else outside the door, but Jiang Kao.

"Brother, I just thought about it for a long time, maybe we should pay homage to Lord Donghai as soon as possible." Jiang Kao said.

"Why?" Zhang Cheng was puzzled for a moment.

"Just after we parted ways, a team of hooligans came from the opposite side," Jiang Kao said.This is normal. As I said before, the houses here are empty, and business travelers come here to live here.Zhang Cheng went straight into the house, and Jiang Kao probably heard the movement, so he went out to have a look. "I chatted with them for a while, and suddenly thought of something." He said with joy.The centaurs seem to be more friendly - there's no way not to be.After all, Guicheng is not a place where outsiders can run wild.You may not know how these Laiyi deal with the aliens who committed crimes in the city of return, but at least you know that these murlocs have a very strong appetite for all land races.To make matters worse, these brutes like to eat them alive!
"whats the matter?"

"Xiaoxuan and Shanrong have always had conflicts," Jiang Kao said. "If Lord Donghai is willing to support it, Xuan Yun will be happy to attack Shanrong!"
