Chapter 285, Barcelona! (Ask for a commuter pass!) )
Don't talk nonsense, ask for a monthly pass to read a book! ――
At the dinner table, Wei Xiaobei announced the major news that he was going abroad for a month.
For this news, Zhu Xinyi was not very happy, while Huang Kun was extremely excited, and tried his best to go out to play, but was directly suppressed by Wei Xiaobei by force.
In the end, Wei Xiaobei promised to bring them gifts back, so that the matter could be settled.
To be honest, at the thought of going abroad, Wei Xiaobei's heart was not only a little excited, but more worried about Zhu Xinyi and Huang Kun.
In a month, according to the frequency of the two of them entering the gray realm, they can probably enter four times.
And entering the gray realm four times, the possible danger in this is not small.
But it was impossible for Wei Xiaobei to stop the two from entering the Gray Realm.
As mentioned before, the eaglet is about to spread its wings, and as an eagle, it can only be prepared enough, not dragging its feet.
During the two days of waiting for passports and visas, Wei Xiaobei completely became a nagging old mother in the eyes of Zhu Xinyi and Huang Kun.
The passport was in hand, the visa was completed, and Wei Xiaobei finally included Spanish in his language skills before getting on the plane, and he didn't say it, 200 evolution points were invested to improve Spanish to the realm of proficiency.
According to the distance, Wei Xiaobei's first stop was to go to Alaska, USA.
The best deep-water seafood in the world is produced there, followed by Spain, France, Italy and Iran.
Among them, Iran's caviar has been set by Huang Jun with a friend, and Wei Xiaobei only needs to check the quality.
The best ingredients cannot be purchased like road goods, and the chefs need to select them themselves, which is especially important in Western cuisine.
Alaska, Wei Xiaobei sat on the plane and recalled the history of Alaska.
When it comes to Alaska, we have to talk about the most loss-making business in the world.
It was originally a colony of Lao Maozi and was rich in furs, but after the decline in fur income, Lao Maozi sold the barren land to Lao Mei for $7.2 million.
Of course. The secretary of state who made the deal was scolded in the United States.
But with the discovery of gold mines, oil and other minerals, Lao Maozi's cost-effective business suddenly lost money.
Patches of gold exposed to cliffs, the largest oil field in North America. It is estimated that Brother Mao will regret it for a lifetime.
Before getting on the plane, Wei Xiaobei had inquired about some information about Alarsky.
The aborigines here are Eskimos, Aleuts, Indians.
It is very empty, with only a million inhabitants on more than 1.6 million square kilometers of land.
In view of such a situation. Wei Xiaobei did not make up his mind to enter the gray world in Alaska.
It depends, if you stay in Alaska for a longer time, then go into the gray world and see how it goes, if it's shorter, forget it.
After all, Spain, which is ranked after Alaska, has a large population, and if you enter the gray world there, you may have more gains.
And the next situation is similar to what Wei Xiaobei imagined.
When he arrived in Alaska, Wei Xiaobei got off the plane and contacted the Alaska Seafood Market Association.
Surprisingly, a fishing boat loaded with seafood had just arrived. Among them are bluefin tuna, king crab, and salmon that Wei Xiaobei needs.
14 hours later, when Wei Xiaobei boarded the plane, a bluefin tuna about 3 meters long, five king crabs and some high-quality deep-sea salmon, sea cucumbers, and lobsters had been sent to China by air.
Wei Xiaobei is very satisfied with this, and if he can buy these ingredients in Alaski, then he can spend less time in Spain.
The three-metre bluefin tuna couldn't have been used entirely for a custom feast. It can make the reputation of the Dragon Tiger Fighting Restaurant even louder.
Barcelona International Airport, which is said to be home to one of the world's top teams.
Well, Wei Xiaobei is not a fan, so he doesn't care about enjoying the beautiful scenery. Speaking fluent Spanish, after finding a guide, he drove more than 100 kilometers to Palamós, a tourist mecca known for its top-quality seafood.
By the time the Mediterranean red shrimp and other ingredients are procured and snap-frozen, it's already nightfall.
There are a large number of hotels built here. Check-in was very convenient, Wei Xiaobei decided to stay here for one night and leave the next day.
When Wei Xiaobei was studying Spain, he learned about the history and even the current situation here.
Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia and its population is predominantly Catalan.
The city is said to have been founded in 1153 BC by Hercules, the greatest hero of Greek mythology.
Well, Hercules doesn't need to be introduced, the son of the main god Zeus, it is said that his half-human and half-god, born with infinite strength, the god queen Hera framed many times, but failed, in the end, this Hercules made a lot of earth-shattering feats, and finally became Hercules after his death.
Speaking of which, I have to say that the chaos of the Greek god system, Hercules' mother is the great-granddaughter of Zeus, but this kind of thing is relatively common in the Greek god system.
For more than 300 BC, Carthage established its colonial rule here, and in 201 BC, the Romans defeated Carthage and seized it.
It was not until the 9th century that it gradually became independent, and it was not until the end of the 15th century that the Kingdom of Castile was formed.
But after that, it was conquered and merged with Aragon to form the Kingdom of Spain.
Until now, Catalonia has been making a lot of noise about wanting independence from Spain.
I have to say that Wei Xiaobei is very interested here.
Therefore, after eating a sumptuous seafood feast, Wei Xiaobei returned to the room and called the customer service to inform the customer service that he would not need any service before twelve o'clock tomorrow before he locked the door.
After that, sitting on the edge of the bed, Wei Xiaobei poured a few bottles of brandy into his stomach.
I have to say that compared to the ten-year cellar of Cuihu, the degree of this brandy is not high, Wei Xiaobei drank five bottles before he barely poured himself into a daze
When Wei Xiaobei woke up, there was still a gorgeous room in sight, but it looked extremely dilapidated, and even the curtains were covered with big holes.
"Kill! Kill these damn Carthaginians???? Glory to Rome! Among these words, there are some words that Wei Xiaobei can understand, but some of them can't understand, probably in Latin.
Latin, Wei Xiaobei studied French and Spanish for a while, compared to French, Italian, Spanish and other European languages, this Latin is roughly equivalent to the language of the pre-Qin period in China.
These European languages are derived from Latin, many of which have Latin words.
"Glory to the Roman ????" One after another, majestic voices came through the tattered windows.
The floor of the room where Wei Xiaobei lived was not high, the tenth floor, and Wei Xiaobei's hearing was enough to hear the sound coming from the street.
Could it be the soldiers of ancient Rome?
Wei Xiaobei probably guessed the owner of these voices.
By the time Wei Xiaobei came to the window and looked down, a bloody battle had already begun on the street below.
More than thirty Roman warriors, armed with light shields and javelins, fought with the same number of pikemen.
Wei Xiaobei recognized the identity of the person fighting against the Roman warrior at a glance.
These warriors should be Carthage's holy infantry, which is one of the main arms of Carthage, to put it bluntly, it is light infantry, and the name sounds relatively good.
In battle, if their spears pierce the enemy's chest and cannot be pulled out in a short time, they will draw the Greek-style dagger at their waist and lunge at the enemy.
The Roman warriors were also light infantry, from the poorest citizens of ancient Rome, so they had no armor, holding a balsa shield in their left hand and a javelin in their right hand.
They carried more than one javelin, because behind the Carthaginian light infantry there were already six corpses with javelins stuck in their chests.
To say that the strength of the ancient Roman warriors has been described in many literary works, and even in some movies, they are portrayed as warriors who are invincible.
Well, of course, these Roman light infantry were just as brave, but their opponents, the Carthaginian light infantry, were even more fierce than them.
Under the courageous attack of these Carthaginian light infantry, the ancient Roman light infantry, which was slightly inferior in weaponry, retreated, and almost ten Roman soldiers fell.
Just as the Roman light infantry was about to be wiped out, there was a sound of running around the bend of the street.
Soon, more than a dozen ancient Roman soldiers armed with large shields, javelins, and wearing chain mail appeared.
These ancient Roman soldiers, according to Wei Xiaobei's guess, should be ancient Roman reserves.
This reserve may sound like a reserve, but in fact, it was these reserves that were the most effective infantry in the ancient Roman legions.
Normally, they are made up of veterans who have fought for more than seven or eight years, are better equipped than adults, young soldiers, and have a lot of combat experience.
Therefore, when fighting in the large corps, they will be placed in the third row, and the first and second rows are all young soldiers and adult soldiers.
Whenever these reservists are dispatched, it is often the tide of battle that needs to be turned around, and the final word needs to be decided!
Whew!
A series of sounds of breaking the air were heard, and these ancient Roman reservists saw those Carthaginian light infantry, and without saying a word, the javelins in their hands were thrown out.
The Roman light infantry immediately retreated, trying to avoid the javelin's coverage.
But even then, there was an ancient Roman light infantryman who was shot in the back with a javelin and fell straight forward.
Compared with the accidental injuries of the ancient Roman reserves, those Carthaginian light infantry were more miserable, and after a wave of javelins, they fell in half. (To be continued.) )
