0138: Bazaar at the foot of the mountain

"Someone must be watching, but I don't know if he has good intentions or bad intentions, if it is an enemy, will he follow?"

The thought in Xiao Chen's mind flashed, but he was a little expecting that the person in the secret was an enemy, and followed to attack him, and then he was killed.

Of course, if it is possible, Xiao Chen hopes to catch the other party and then interrogate him.

As for his own safety, Xiao Chen is not worried at all, first, he has two cards to return to the city for the dead, one primary and one intermediate, and it should be worry-free to ensure safety.

In addition, the person who can be sent to the school to monitor him, and he still doesn't sleep so late, it can also mean that the other party's status is not high, he should be a junior summoner, if it is intermediate, it is not easy to hide his whereabouts in this school full of junior summoners.

Xiao Chen thought for a while, and didn't look at the affairs he sensed, he started the hovercar and left the school in a hurry.

Xiao Chen had the intention to test whether he was following him behind him, so he deliberately made a small circle and drove towards the west gate of the border city.

The border city is the west gate of the empire, and the west gate of the border city is the enemy empire, and there is a no-man's land of two hundred miles between the two, which is a buffer zone between the two empires.

Under normal circumstances, the four gates of the border city gate are opened at sunrise and closed at sunset. The West Gate was more strictly guarded, unlike the other three gates, which may have caravans coming and going.

Ximen came and went with summoners who went out of the city to fight in the wilderness, and civilians rarely came here, and some were also outlaws who wanted to go to the wilderness to pan for gold.

Xiao Chen came early, and the row of city gates protected by the tall and thick city walls were closed, and there were heavily armed soldiers standing guard near the city gates.

It was dark on the city walls, but the street lights below were bright, typical of the outside and the inside.

The modern city defense system is very close, and it is not visible from the outside, but when a person or creature approaches, the city defense office will immediately detect it, and the lights inside are illuminated by the officers in the city.

Xiao Chen stopped the car from a distance and sat in the car and looked outside.

Not long after, he saw two lights coming from a distance in his rearview, driving past his car, and then slowly stopping in front.

The people in the car didn't get out either, Xiao Chen watched quietly, he wasn't sure if the other party was following him, or if he was a summoner who was about to go out of the city to fight.

Not long after, people arrived in hovercars, all parked in the incomparably wide square, which was used as a parking lot and black market trading stalls in leisure time, and as a school ground for troop transport in wartime.

The first rays of sunlight in the sky shone through the cracks in the tall city walls to the square, and in the distance came the shouts of the officers: "Open the gates." ”

With the shouting, groups of soldiers ran out of the nearby barracks and came to one of the gates in a neat formation, and in a short time more than five hundred people gathered here.

The heavy steel gate contracted rapidly, and there were three defensive iron gates in a city cave, one by one, and after a few minutes, the gate was opened.

Many arriving hovercars rushed to the city gate, and then lined up less than fifty meters from the city gate, scanned by the instruments of several soldiers, and then passed through the city gate one by one, and drove out of the border city.

The two hundred miles between the border city and the Great Qin Empire are mostly plains and wastelands, but more than twenty miles away from the west city gate to the south, is a continuous deep mountain and old forest, where there are high mountains, forests, rivers, and endless beasts, the original creatures of this planet.

Beasts are also one of the characteristics of this planet, not only here in the border cities, but also outside most of the cities, and jungle fighting is an activity that many low-level summoners love.

Not only can you upgrade the jungle, but you can also get the materials on the beast, and you can also get a good income by selling them.

However, for the safety of the city, the wild area should be at least twenty miles away from the city, and if this distance is on foot, it will take at least an hour to walk, and the summoners who fight the jungle do not want to waste time on the road, so it is inevitable to drive to the periphery of the wild area, and the soldiers defending the city will not be embarrassed by this.

Xiao Chen merged into the traffic and slowly drove towards the city gate, and within a few minutes, he passed through the city gate hole of nearly twenty meters and came to the outside of the city with a desolate atmosphere.

More than a mile out of the city gate, the traffic is obviously divided into two streams, one to the south, here to go to the mountains to fight wild, the other to the north, they will walk more distance, to the big river, will find some leisure farms, eat all kinds of wild delicacies.

Xiao Chen slowed down slightly in the middle of the road, glanced at the vehicles that were going the other way, and then observed the cars following behind, and continued to hurry.

Xiao Chen had long heard that there was a wild game villa outside the city, as well as a barbaric arena of life and death, which was very popular with people from the aristocratic class, but because of his poor strength, he had never been out of the city once, especially in the past few years, the servant couple who had been taking care of him died in the city, so he didn't dare to think about going out of the city.

Now, if Xiao Chen wasn't sure that he had the ability to protect himself, he would still not come out of the border city.

In any case, the security in the border city is still okay, he may be beaten, but he will not be killed.

There are quite a few people who go out of the city to fight in the wilderness, and there is a long queue of vehicles on the twenty-mile road, not to mention more than a hundred vehicles.

Coming to the foot of San'in, there is a small bazaar, on one side is a simple model house built of steel, covering an area of more than ten acres, there are dozens of houses, there are restaurants, bars, shops, free trading places, on the other side is a parking lot, stone ground, parking thousands of cars is not a problem.

After stopping the car, Xiao Chen didn't walk over in a hurry, he looked at it from a distance, and looked at the extremely lively scene here, he nodded thoughtfully.

There are a lot of smart people, as long as there are people, there will be a market, and the people who do business here may make more money than the summoners who go into the mountains and fight the jungle.

Although he didn't need any supplies, Xiao Chen still took out the fat cat monster and came to the market to hang out, this is a good place, he will visit it often in the future, first familiarize himself with the general layout of the market, and it is convenient to come to supply or trade when the time comes.

Walking into the commercial area of the house, as for the stalls placed on the ground outside, it is best not to look, his experience in two lives, more than half of this kind of people are the goods of the pit people.

There is a reputable commissary with a fixed façade, although the price will be a little more expensive, but you can buy it with confidence.

After walking for a while, Xiao Chen found that there was something else inside, and he couldn't see it from the outside, but there was a more lively commercial city inside.

There are two roads on the left and right, there is also a small model house in the middle, all the way to the end, there are all kinds of shops on the side of the road, there are those who sell snacks, some sell decorations, some sell mountain stone beast materials, some sell supplies into the mountain, all kinds of things, everything.

Xiao Chen walked casually, listening to those who had customers or bargaining or chatting, and he suddenly found that the shops here were not only for sale, but also for purchase.

Xiao Chen saw several summoners carrying leather bags on their backs, selling the collected things to the shopkeepers, these summoners should have returned to the market late last night, so they came to sell the goods early in the morning.

"It's such a great place."

Xiao Chen saw that a shop was actually selling inscriptions and weapons, although they were all low-level, but this also showed that the security here should be okay, otherwise, with the more than a dozen first-level and second-level inscriptions in the steel counter, it was enough to make some poor summoners take risks.

Xiao Chen looked around the inscription shop, and suddenly, he saw a pile of broken inscriptions piled up in a corner of the shop.

"Fragments of inscriptions? I wonder if this thing is the same as the inscription fragments in the system? I don't know if I can recycle it? If only you could turn waste into treasure......"

Xiao Chen's mind was spinning actively, and he seemed to see a way to make money.

If the fragments of inscriptions in the real world can be recycled into the system and then synthesized into inscriptions for sale, the benefits must be very large, just because the shopkeeper does not cherish the broken inscriptions in the corner, a lot of dust and mud, you can know that the fragments of inscriptions in the real world are not valuable.

"Kid, do you want to buy an inscription?"

The shopkeeper was a fifty-six-year-old ninth-level summoner, and he had been paying attention to Xiao Chen for a long time, after all, it was still early, and there was only one customer in the store Xiao Chen hanging out, and it was impossible for him to pay attention if he didn't want to.

"Boss, can I take a look at the fragments of the inscription?" Xiao Chen replied cautiously.

"Fragments of inscriptions? It's really an apt noun, just by this word, you can read it casually, right? The boss smiled casually.

Xiao Chen nodded when he heard this, leaned over to pick up a few, and when he wiped them with his sleeves, he brought two pieces into the system with his mind.

"It works......

Xiao Chen was overjoyed when he found that the number on the inscription fragment had increased by two, but he tried a few more times with some anxiety, and exited the system after confirming that it was correct.
