Chapter 485 Accident

Several people understood the reason why the general's wife refused.

A place that the former guards could not enter after countless years of attack must be full of dangers and terror.

Even if you want to sneak in, it may not be that easy.

The general's wife looked at Lao Tang and Jin Zheng with a serious face: "As a wife, I naturally hope that my husband can be safe and sound, and hope that he can recover, stand up again, and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. But because of him, sacrificing many other people is not okay, it can't be like this."

"Madam..." Lao Tang wanted to say something.

"No need to say more, there is no need to discuss this matter again." The general's wife shook her head firmly: "If he knew, he would not agree to this."

As she said, she sighed and said: "We can think of other ways to get the two missing materials."

Lao Tang and Jin Zheng couldn't help sighing, thinking that except for the sphere of influence of the Tianhe creatures, there are no other places. What other ways can they think of?

The general's wife whispered: "I know a place where we may be able to trade the materials we need."

"Where?" Lao Tang asked.

Jin Zheng had a thoughtful look on his face, and was hesitant to speak.

The general's wife said: "Black market."

"Black... black market..." After hearing this, Lao Tang showed a tangled look on his face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I'm afraid the general won't agree to that place, right?"

The general's wife shook her head: "He's not that old-fashioned. Besides, the black market has existed since ancient times, and it wasn't created by the creatures of Tianhe."

Bai Muye then understood what the black market was.

The front station continent gathers all races, and each race has its own specialty.

But there is not much communication between these races from ancient times to the present.

Although everyone is a guardian, they basically interact with the same race.

But the demand for transactions is real.

In order to solve this problem, in ancient times, someone established a place called the black market.

Here, no matter which race, you can conduct various transactions openly or secretly. Sometimes, brokers can even handle transactions between the two parties without meeting.

After the Tianhe creatures gradually formed their power and took root in the front station continent, the Tianhe creatures who also had various trading needs also gradually integrated into the black market.

At first, no one was willing to do business with them. Not only did they not do it, but once they were discovered, a war would immediately begin.

But gradually, this rule was broken.

Because there are some rigid needs, there is no solution except to trade with Tianhe creatures.

So, these two mortal enemy groups, just like this, formed an unwritten "unwritten rule" in a place like the black market.

There are brokers who are specifically responsible for handling this kind of transaction.

However, despite this, trading with the Tianhe creatures, a generational enemy, is still something that many people despise.

Everyone is somewhat unacceptable emotionally.

"I think if we can get the materials we need in this way, it's not a bad idea." After listening to the introduction of the black market, Bai Muye said to Jin Zheng and Lao Tang: "After all, our goal is to cure the general. After the general recovers, he will definitely return to the front line to kill the enemy. Therefore, our fundamental goal is to kill those Tianhe creatures."

"You are right. We are a little narrow-minded." Lao Tang nodded.

Jin Zheng still looked a little entangled.

Bai Muye looked at him and asked: "Brother Jin, are all the Tianhe creatures evil?"

"Needless to say? They come from the outside world, crawl out along the Tianhe River, invade our world, and kill people wantonly. For so many years, there has never been an exception! So don't use human thinking to guess the temperament of Tianhe creatures. This group does not have the word kindness at all." Jin Zheng said very firmly.

The general's wife nodded aside: "Yes, it is true. The evil deeds of the Tianhe creatures are too numerous to list, so under normal circumstances, no one would think of trading with them."

"Anyway, our goal is also for the general to recover," said Lao Tang. "I am willing to go to the black market to exchange for this material!"

"No hurry, let's ask the broker about this matter first. If there is really the material we need, then... I will go there in person!" said the general's wife.

"Madam, you can't go..."

Jin Zheng and Lao Tang said in unison to stop them.

"You people are probably already on the blacklist of Tianhe creatures. It is best for me to trade with them." This gentle middle-aged woman became serious, with an aura that could not be refused.

Then the general's wife arranged a sumptuous dinner to entertain the young people.

She also heard more about this group of young people from the three empires from Jin Zheng and Lao Tang, and she had a higher opinion of them.

After all, people who can confront the gods head-on are always admirable.

In this way, the general's wife quietly left Hongfeng City, while Lao Tang and Jin Zheng stayed here.

Lao Tang also brought the two children he thought were talented to learn various talisman techniques with Bai Muye.

Although they were called children, they were actually quite old, older than Xiaobai.

A young girl named Xie Shuang, 23 years old this year, and a young man named Zhou Wu, 24 years old this year.

Both of them were at the level of high-level talisman masters, and they had their own understanding of talisman techniques.

At first, Xie Shuang and Zhou Wu were a little distrustful of Xiaobai, a young man who was too good-looking.

Even when they heard Lao Tang and Xiaobai call Master Bai, they were somewhat disapproving in their hearts.

In their opinion, this young man who looked too good was not qualified to teach them.

Although he did not question them, the expression between his eyebrows was full of doubts.

Xiaobai did not give them too many opportunities to show what he was doing, after all, he had a good impression of the guardians who stood here before.

After showing off his skills, Xie Shuang and Zhou Wu almost knelt on the spot.

Why do we say that the people in the front station are pure? This is the reason.

Everyone's attitude towards people with ability is surprisingly consistent.

In the following days, Bai Muye taught Lao Tang and the two young people various talisman techniques every day.

Including various talisman techniques in the category of talisman medicine, he did not hide anything.

If he can save more guardians through medical talisman techniques in the future, Xiaobai's efforts will not be in vain.

Lin Zijin and a large group of people went to the city to hang out every day. From the unfamiliarity at the beginning to gradually integrating into it, it only took them two or three days.

It must be said that there are really a lot of good things in Hongfeng City!

There are too many things that these people from the three empires have never seen before.

Similarly, they have many things that people in the front station continent have never heard of.

So various transactions came into being naturally.

People in Hongfeng City also knew the origins of this group of young people, but although they were curious, there was no excessive crowding.

There were often some children following behind Lin Zijin and her group of beautiful young ladies.

Lin Zijin and others would often take out some candies to give to these children.

In just a few days, their reputation had spread throughout the streets and alleys of Hongfeng City.

The people here were also very friendly to these young outsiders.

Lin Zijin even found several metals here that could improve the quality of the broadsword in her hand!

If these metals were taken to the three major empires, they would definitely cause a huge sensation and drive the forgers of the forging family, including the Song family, crazy.

But here, Brother Lin didn't even spend much effort, and he got a lot of them by almost selling and giving them away.

"It's a pity that there is no powerful weapon refiner among us. Otherwise, I should learn it myself?" After Lin Zijin got these rare metals, he said to Bai Muye a little depressed because he couldn't use them to improve the quality of the broadsword right away.

"I think this idea is quite good, I can learn it." Xiaobai certainly encouraged and supported Lin Zijin's somewhat whimsical idea.

So, Lin Zijin really went to a weapon shop in Hongfeng City to learn from a master.

I don't know how she told others, anyway, the chief forger of the weapon shop, who was very strict in accepting apprentices, actually agreed to teach her to forge weapons!

Ten days later, everyone still couldn't wait for the return of the general's wife, and everyone began to worry.

However, Lao Tang and Jin Zheng were quite calm. Looking at Bai Muye who came to ask, Jin Zheng said: "The black market is very far from here. Even with the lady's walking speed, she can't think of coming back from there without ten days and half a month."

Bai Muye nodded, and then went to comb the meridians for the general.

These days, he would come here every day to use some purification talismans for the general, and then chat with the general for a while.

He learned a lot of information about the front station continent from the general.

The general was not a corrupt person. He agreed with his wife's decision to go to the black market to find the two materials.

"The ones who should be sad are the Tianhe creatures. Use their materials and finally kill them. Isn't this a good thing?"

The general was actually a very humorous person. When he was young, he had entered the three empires.

"I have been to the Holy Empire and the Zulong Empire. What impressed me most at that time was the prosperity of the human world and the brilliant technological civilization. Unfortunately, that kind of civilization is difficult to achieve here in the front station world, because here, war is the eternal theme."

Bai Muye asked the general where the Tianhe creatures came from.

It is said to be outside the domain, but isn't the entire universe one?

"It's not what you think. This universe is full of countless different planes. In fact, haven't you discovered that the front station here is no longer the same plane as the world of the three empires?"

The general spoke with much more strength than a few days ago, and he looked very energetic.

He looked at Bai Muye and said with a smile: "The world is so big that there are all kinds of things. The creatures in Tianhe are creatures from another plane. It's not that we are biased... In fact, the world in the front station is the least biased place!"

Bai Muye agreed with this.

After all, on this huge continent, thousands of races have lived together since ancient times.

The general said: "The creatures in Tianhe are full of bloodthirstiness and killing in their bones. Whether they are intelligent creatures or those non-intelligent creatures, they are all the same. There has never been an exception in the endless years."

"Has no one ever entered Tianhe to see where they came from?" Bai Muye asked.

"The danger of Tianhe is completely unimaginable to us!" The general smiled bitterly and said: "Countless predecessors have done what you said, but without exception, no one has come back."

"So we can only passively wait for the creatures in Tianhe to crawl out from there? Tianhe is the front battlefield, and here... is the second battlefield?" Bai Muye asked.

"Yes," the general nodded and sighed, "If there is a way to cut off the roots of the creatures in Tianhe once and for all, then I will definitely die without regrets. After all, no one in any place likes to be in a state of war forever."

This is a very true statement.

No one is born to be a guardian and shoulder the responsibility of protecting all races.

Just like the innocent children in the Red Maple City where red maple trees are everywhere, they should also enjoy a happy childhood like the children of the three empires.

The people here should also live the life they want like those in the three empires.

The reality is that the front station here is in a state of war all year round; the three empires are also shrouded in the clouds of the gods.

In comparison, the situation of the human race in the three empires is better than here.

"So what you want to change is all this?"

Lin Zijin and Wenjun sat side by side by the pond, watching Bai Muye sitting there fishing, and Lin Zijin asked Wenjun.

"The places I wanted to change before did not include this place, because at that time, I didn't know about these things," Wenjun, who was still wearing a mask, said faintly, "There are many things in my inherited memory that cannot be expressed clearly. I have wanted to change all of this since I was a child, but it is too difficult to achieve it with my ability. But now, I see hope!"

Wenjun said, with a faint smile in his eyes.

She tilted her head and glanced at Lin Zijin: "Because I met you!"

"Hehe, that's it!" Lin Zijin was a little proud.

"You don't understand how excited I was when we escaped from the territories of the three empires and entered this plane!" Wenjun said: "Because I finally got rid of the surveillance of those old guys. Even if they can finally figure out where I went, when they find the previous world..."

Wenjun said, he couldn't help but sneer softly.

Lin Zijin said, "It's strange that they can find it!"

"Not only that, the realm and combat power of those old guys who have come back from the dead can't be fully restored to the past. When they come to this place and find that there are emperor-level creatures everywhere, they will also have a headache." Wenjun said, and couldn't help laughing happily.

Bai Muye, who was sitting by the water, asked, "Are those old guys who monitor you alive from ancient times to today?"

"Yeah." Wenjun hummed lightly, and then said, "But I can't say too much, otherwise they will be sensed, and their names can't be mentioned easily. They are different from the emperor-level creatures today. They have all stood at a higher place."

Lin Zijin hummed lightly, and Bai Muye nodded. He raised the fishing rod in his hand, and a slender fish more than one foot long and silver all over was caught by him.

This fish is full of energy and struggles desperately, but there is no way to escape.

Xiaobai happily threw the fish into a bucket beside him, which already had dozens of fish in it.

This pond is not big, but there are really a lot of fish. There is a legend that this pond is connected to a huge underground river, and many fish swim upstream from the underground river. I don’t know whether it is true or not.

Anyway, this slender silver fish tastes very delicious. They tasted it on the first day they came to Hongfeng City.

In the evening, several people walked back happily with buckets.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the general’s mansion, they heard a panic inside.

Several people looked at each other and walked in quickly.

As soon as they entered the inner courtyard, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. The general’s wife, who was gentle in temperament on weekdays but amazing in critical moments, was covered in blood at this moment. Facing the large group of people from the mansion, she waved to everyone with all her might.

The moment Xiaobai and the others came in, the general’s wife softened and fell to the ground.

"Madam, what’s wrong with you?"

"Madam, are you okay!"

"Madam, wake up!"

A group of people in the general’s mansion were all a little scared.

Jin Zheng and Lao Tang separated the crowd with serious faces. Lao Tang used the healing talisman he had just learned to give his wife some simple treatment, with an extremely solemn look on his face.

Not to mention him, even if the healing talisman made by Xiao Bai could only treat god-level injuries at most, and was almost powerless in the face of the emperor-level wife of the general.

But Bai Muye still used a few of them on the wife of the general.

After all, his healing talismans were much higher in quality than those drawn by Lao Tang, a beginner.

The wife of the general was carried into the house, and then slowly woke up. Looking at everyone, she said helplessly: "My identity was discovered, and the other party terminated the transaction. After finding that the situation was not right, I ran away as soon as possible, but I was still targeted... Don't worry, I won't die."

Jin Zheng's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Sister-in-law, who is it?"

This was the first time Bai Muye saw Jin Zheng calling the wife of the general sister-in-law, which showed that his emotions were in an extremely explosive state at the moment.

The wife of the general lying on the bed smiled bitterly and said: "For some reason, the broker betrayed us."

"Did you tell him the truth?" Jin Zheng asked.

The general's wife sighed and said, "The broker was also introduced by a friend, so I told the truth. We are all human beings, so this situation should not happen. As a result, the other party who wanted to trade with me happened to be the one who hurt my husband that year..."

"Damn it!" Jin Zheng's face was ferocious.

Lao Tang was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently.

No one expected this to happen.

Under normal circumstances, brokers who are also human beings should not do such things anyway.

Not to mention that brokers should remain neutral, the customs here are completely different from those of the three empires.

So no matter Lao Tang or Jin Zheng, no one could accept the betrayal of the broker.

The key is that the general's search for the two materials has been exposed!

The forces on the Tianhe creatures side will definitely guard against it and will never allow the two materials to flow out again.

As mortal enemies for generations, it is simply impossible for those intelligent Tianhe creatures to release the two materials.

This is the most troublesome thing.

"It's all my fault. I trusted him too much." The general's wife blamed herself.

Jin Zheng said seriously: "Sister-in-law, don't say that. For countless years, this kind of traitor has never appeared in our front world. He will be dealt with sooner or later! But now our top priority is to heal your injury and get those two materials no matter what!"
