324 methods
When the hovercraft crossed the sea, Chen Xiansong saw many sailboats outside the car window, all of which are large and small. This is the dividing line between Asia and America. In this era of underdeveloped navigation technology, even if the sea surface is only a few dozen kilometers long, ships will capsize and crash from time to time.
Chen Xiansong tried to keep Bai Min away from these small boats so as not to overturn the airflow and waves raised by the hovercraft. As long as he crossed this sea, he would be America. The gathering place of the dragon clan is in North America, and the pillar of the sun is in South America. Chen Xiansong originally wanted to go to the gathering place of the dragon clan, but firstly, the dragon clan is more xenophobic and will not allow people from other races to enter easily. Secondly, he was more worried about Sister Qianxin's safety, so he gave up.
Whether in North America or South America, there are large plains. Not only is the terrain in Asia complex and changeable, the hovercraft is advanced and fast. When passing through the outer periphery of the dragon clan gathering place, Chen Xiansong saw a huge city composed entirely of black steel, standing at the end of the horizon, which can be seen clearly even with the naked eye.
Bai Min observed and said, "Preliminary calculations show that this city should be made up of the wreckage of Hope."
Hope is the new era of humanity. The interstellar spacecraft built in the universe, about to be completed but destroyed by aliens, has a lot of heat-resistant metal inside, and even if it falls from the outer orbit, it will not be vaporized by friction burning. According to rumors, the saliva of the dragon clan can temporarily soften the metal. If they really have this ability, it is not uncommon to use the wreckage of the spacecraft to build such a steel city.
No wonder the Sun Temple does not want to attack the gathering place of the Dragon Clan. In such a steel city, except for weapons of mass destruction, other weapons have no effect. Even thermal weapons in the traditional sense are not very meaningful. After all, they are alloys on spacecraft, and they are both resistant to high temperatures and low temperatures, and are of extremely high hardness and toughness.
The dragon tribe gathered in central North America, about the place where the United States and Canada communicated. Although the dragon tribe did not allow outsiders to engage in their holy city, they were not in a position to stay in seclusion. If they wanted to rebel, they would come out and trade with nearby humans. However, they paid great attention to credit and only trusted a few humans.
The hovercraft passed by the dragon clan's gathering place, and Bahamut's periphery. Chen Xiansong didn't want to be troubled here. He also wanted to hurry to the Sun Pillar and find Sister Qianxin to see what happened to her. But sometimes, many things run in the opposite direction of human will.
On the plains, although the hovercraft is far enough from the Dragon Clan's city, he didn't know that although the unawakened dragon clan's combat power is not very strong, they have two special abilities, one is saliva, and the other is ultra-far visual ability.
The hovercraft is not small in size, especially when traveling in the sun. It reflects dazzling light. If it is far away, humans may not be able to see it, but in the eyes of the dragon clan, they can see a "shiny" treasure in the distance, moving rapidly.
Like some creature of the same name in the legend, the dragon clan, especially the unawakened dragon clan, had a strong possessive desire towards the shiny things. Several dragon clans stood in the high city and saw the silver hovercraft on the other side of the horizon, rushing out of the black city with a roar.
Although the dragon clan is humanoid, when running, they can put on all sides and speed up their running speed. Compared with hovercraft, the dragon clan is slightly faster, but the distance between the two sides is very far. Several dragon clans rushed to the position where they saw the hovercraft just now, and Chen Xiansong and Bai Min were already a hundred miles away.
However, this is the grassland. The strong wind pressure of the hovercraft caused a large area of green to hang down. Following this trace, the four dragon tribes nodded to each other and followed the trace all the way. On the other side of the Bering Strait, Cleopetora, who was noisy with her forty dead soldiers, boarded a sea boat and chased along the direction of Chen Xiansong.
After walking forward for three days, Chen Xiansong came to the junction of North America and South America, where the famous Panama Canal is located. At the same time, the Rinanser country at the southern end of North America and the Guerdo country at the northern end of South America have fought for more than 700 years around the Panama Canal. This is the key transportation outlet and has to be fought. After such a long war, the death toll on both sides has long been an astronomical number, because the two countries have become mortal enemies, and the hatred of generations has accumulated, and there is no possibility of revolving around again.
Whether these two countries are deadly enemies or friends, they have nothing to do with Chen Xiansong, but because the two sides have made too deep enemies, they have built extremely high city walls near the Panama Canal, and even the places where they can land in the coastal areas have walls. These city walls are not the city walls made of sand and soil in the desert, but are built with huge stones and repaired from generation to generation. The huge city walls with a height of thirty or forty meters should be more than ten meters thick. Even the outer alloy of high-tech hovercraft cannot be forcibly broken through.
Chen Xiansong had to let Bai Min put the hovercraft in a secret place. If you want to pass the Panama Canal, you must first pass the border city of the Rinanser Kingdom and Il City. It is not impossible to rush over hard. Just ask Bai Min to kill all the defenders on the city wall. But Chen Xiansong is not a murderer, and the defenders of Il City have no rabbits, no grievances or grudges with him, which is contrary to moral ethics.
In this world, when encountering difficulties, it is not just a way to go with force. Chen Xiansong walked into the city, found the best hotel to stay in, and bought some dresses the next day, and finally went to the tavern to inquire about the news. If you go to the Mercenary Union or the Soul Thinker Association in other cities, the best occasion to inquire about the news is, but here, in this Yier City, due to the years of war, there are no other aristocratic families in the city except for the City Lord's Mansion and three small aristocratic families that are closely related to the City Lord's Mansion, and there are no other aristocratic families in the city. The Soul Thinker Association has not established a branch here. There is no way, it is too chaotic. Those people are expensive, and they are not afraid of ten thousand, but they are afraid of anything.
When Chen Xiansong walked on the street, he could feel that the people in this place were different from other places. They were both men, women, young and old, and there was still a sense of hostility, either strong or weak. After entering the tavern, Chen Xiansong found that the people here were drinking. Compared with the smoky places in other places, the people here were very quiet, but they were also scary. Almost everyone had injuries on their faces, some were lacking noses, some were lacking ears, some were one-eyed, and some were missing a large piece of meat on their cheeks.
As soon as Chen Xiansong and Bai Min entered, they became the target of everyone's attention. There was no way, their temperament was too different. Chen Xiansong was obviously a rich young man. Although Bai Min looked white and tender and beautiful, almost everyone in the field was old fox who had experienced war. When they saw Bai Min, they immediately lowered their heads and restrained their anger.
Those who have killed people with their own hands can see their own kind. Bai Min is a beautiful and "weak" girl in the eyes of ordinary people or ordinary nobles, but in the eyes of these people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, they only see Bai Min's cold eyes. Looking at them is like looking at animals waiting to be slaughtered.
This woman cannot be messed with, and almost everyone in the tavern's opinion.
Chen Xiansong ordered two glasses of fruit wine, and many people chuckled in their hearts, but no one dared to reveal it. In this city closest to war, only women and sissy can drink fruit wine. Men, especially fierce men, should drink rye wine with a very high degree.
In fact, the degree of rye wine is only more than ten degrees. But except for the more intense wine in the Zhendan Kingdom, other countries do not have high-value wine. Chen Xiansong looked at these people and knew that they were wary of themselves, a boy who was obviously an outsider. He was prepared for this and took out a small bag of gold coins and placed it on the table, saying, "There are forty gold coins here. I invite everyone to drink until they use up these forty gold coins."
Rye wine was very cheap, only one copper coin and forty gold coins were only available for a large glass, enough for the drunkards present to drink one cup after another until tomorrow. Everyone did not make any noise. Although the middle-aged store owner was jealous of the forty gold coins, he still wiped the cup and endured it without moving.
Chen Xiansong was not embarrassed, and was not in a hurry, and waited slowly. After a long time, a middle-aged man in gray leather armor walked up to his desk and sat down. He picked up the purse on the table, threw it away, and put it down, saying, "It is indeed forty gold coins. Master, you have such a large price, there must be something to do. Tell me, this money is too wasteful to use for drinking. We have more than 30 people here, each of them has a gold coins, and I can keep the rest for them. If we can do it, we will naturally find a way to help you."
Forty gold coins are indeed a lot, especially for these fried dough stick veterans, such an extra income is enough for them to do a lot of things. Chen Xiansong is now accustomed to using money to pioneer the way. If money cannot do things, he will think of other ways.
"Actually, it's not a difficult task." Chen Xiansong smiled and said, "I'm a newcomer and want to see the city lord, but I don't know the city lord's hobbies and taboos. I'm not familiar with the place here and I can't find anyone to ask, so I can only use this method to achieve my goal. I think the tavern is one of the sources of information and information, so someone will definitely know."
"What do you want to do when you look for the city lord?" asked the middle-aged man.
"That's a secret." Chen Xiansong replied with a smile.
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "If you want to be unfavorable to the city lord, you shouldn't come here to buy information with such a big fanfare. I have to say that you are very lucky. I used to be one of the personal soldiers of the city lord's mansion. My younger brother is now the knight of the city lord's mansion. Although we dare not say that we know the city lord very well, some news is still clear, but... the remaining money is not enough to buy such important information."
Chen Xiansong took out another small bag of gold coins. The middle-aged man licked his lips and said, "It seems that it is not enough..."
"I'm too greedy for being a human being. Maybe the things I get will be beaten up, and good things will turn into bad things." Chen Xiansong said slowly.
