Chapter 52: Golden Sword with Dragon Pattern

"Stop." Shen Zhui waved his hand and ordered the soldiers behind him to stop.

Because of the distance, the student did not notice Shen Zhui's presence.

Ordering these soldiers to avoid the student and return to Gongcheng Mansion elsewhere to wait for orders, Shen Zhui quietly concealed his aura, then transformed into an ordinary Houtian warrior, and slowly approached the student.

This young man's face was a bit green, but his eyes were very bright. His cultivation was at the third level of supernatural power. However, the aura fluctuations on his body were stronger than those Shen Zhui had seen before.

Shen Zhui pretended to walk around unintentionally and stopped ten meters in front of the student. He looked around at a vendor, but his attention was on this person.

"Hahaha, I finally came in~ Who else is there?" Zhou Qi smiled excitedly, looking very excited. There was so much pride in that laughter.

Hearing this, Shen Zhui couldn't help but smile.

After waiting quietly for a while, Zhou Qi finally calmed down, just like Shen Zhui. After entering this place, his first step was to find someone to inquire.

However, he is slightly different from Shen Zhui. First of all, after Zhou Qi came in this time, the residents in the city have all reached the innate realm!

Secondly, the feedback they received was different.

"Store, may I ask where this place is?" Zhou Qi casually walked into a shop, looked up and down, and then started to ask.

"Oh, this is Shangqiu City. I heard that the official mansion in Xicheng is recruiting talents. You can go and have a look." The innate mid-level shopkeeper replied lazily.

"Xicheng? Official's Mansion?" Zhou Qi nodded and then asked. "Excuse me, where is the specific location and who lives in the official residence?"

"Oh, this is Shangqiu City. I heard that the official mansion in Xicheng is recruiting talents. You can go and have a look."

Zhou Qi: "..."

Zhou Qi didn't seem to give up and asked again, but the result was exactly the same.

Zhou Qi seemed to have noticed something, and immediately frowned and walked out of the store.

He quickly walked into the second store, and within a moment, Zhou Qi came out again.

After repeating this several times, Zhou Qi seemed to understand that no matter how he asked, the answer he got would be the same and there would be no change.

When Shen Zhui saw this, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

He didn't know who Zhou Qi came in this week and what level of difficulty he solved, but obviously, the other party got less information than he did.

Moreover, when Shen Zhui came in, he went to Gongcheng Mansion from the beginning. This Zhou Qi is from a seventh-level official mansion.

The gap between the two is reflected, because according to Shen Zhui's understanding.

Only with higher-level Shangguan, the tasks you will receive in the future will be of higher level and the rewards will be more generous.

Now that Zhou Qi is going to the scholar-bureaucrat's house this week, Shen Zhui estimates that he will start as a level 3 hairpin, and his mission level will be lower.

After thinking about this, Shen Zhui planned to leave and return to his public residence. He didn't want to reveal his identity as an adventurer so early.

However, just when Shen Zhui was about to leave, an accident happened——

"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and Zhou Qi's figure suddenly flew backwards, a light burst out from his body, and hit the street heavily.

The people around them fled in all directions, and they were all gone in the blink of an eye, closing doors and closing stalls. After a while, there were only one civilian left in the street, Shen Zhui, and Zhou Qi who fell on the ground. .

"What's going on?" Shen Zhui was confused.

At this moment, Zhou Qi had a trace of yellow rope on his body, tightly constricting his body.

He wanted to struggle, but the more he struggled, the tighter the rope became. After a while, Zhou Qi's face turned red, showing a look of pain.

Looking at a frightened civilian not far away, Shen Zhui, who was hiding in a shop, suddenly had a thought in his mind -

"This idiot, he won't do anything to these civilians, right?"

Shen Zhui's guess was correct.

Because after a while, he waited for the patrol team from Shangqiu City.

This pair of patrols were wrapped in silver armor, with light flowing, and there was a phoenix spreading its wings on their helmets.

Fully twenty silver-armored warriors appeared next to Zhou Qi, twenty spears pointed at Zhou Qi on the ground, with murderous intent! Each one possesses the fluctuations of a powerful person!

"Forbidden troops in the royal city?" Shen Zhui was shocked.

The world here is an imitation of the Great Xia Dynasty, and Great Xia regards the phoenix as its veneration. These silver-armored warriors are obviously the forbidden army of the royal city!

In his spare time, Shen Zhui also explored various places in Shangqiu City. Shen Zhui found that many mansions were simply inaccessible.

The inner city in the center of Shangqiu City covers an area of ​​nearly 800 miles. It is a forbidden area that even Shen Zhui, an eighth-level public transporter, cannot enter!

The guards patrolling outside the palace walls are none other than these Royal Guards wearing silver armor and phoenix helmets on their heads!

Shen Zhui was completely unaware of the strength of a silver-armored guard captain. At this moment, the guard captain walked up to Zhou Qi and said coldly: "Outsider, you use illusions to enchant others without authorization, which violates the laws of Shangqiu City." If you violate the law, you will be imprisoned for seven days! You will not be released from the Three-Star Prison after seven days. If you violate the law three times, you will be permanently expelled from Shangqiu City!"

"Woo~oooo~" Zhou Qi's eyes widened and he struggled more and more fiercely. Unfortunately, the rope on his body seemed to be extremely magical, leaving Zhou Qi speechless at all. He could only watch helplessly being beaten by two silver-armored guards. Set it up and drag it in a certain direction.

He really regrets it now. He was impulsively imprisoned for seven days. He wasted seven days in vain, and he didn't know what other consequences it would have.

If he could do it over again, even if he killed Zhou Qi, he wouldn't be so curious as to do such a thing!

Swish, swish, swish~ The Royal Guards of the Royal City came and left just as quickly.

After a while, the surrounding streets became as lively as ever again, with people selling goods and doing things, as if nothing just happened had happened.

"This man is really unlucky." Shen Zhui shook his head.

If it were outside, even in the city, for a wealthy young man like him, who was in the supernatural realm, even if he made a mistake, he would not go to jail, not to mention that his original intention was just to control the illusion and get some information. .

However, when they got here, Shen Zhui didn't know what to ask, but he wasted seven days.

"Fortunately, I didn't use force at the beginning, otherwise the outcome might not have been much better." Shen Zhui was somewhat thankful in his heart.

When he first came in, he thought about using force, but after thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea.

If it were that simple, it would be too much to underestimate the powerful men and women of Daxia Academy.

The power of rules is everywhere. The little magical powers want to take shortcuts and take advantage of this loophole to put the face of the powerful ones.

"This is a lesson learned through blood." Shen Zhui couldn't help but sigh. He once tried to use the Wuxiang Divine Art to pretend to be a silver-armored guard and approached the royal city. As a result, he was severely warned by the captain of the guard before he even got close.

Fortunately, Shen Zhui was already traveling by public transport at that time and was not punished too severely. He was only fined fifty silver knives.

However, this also caused Shen Zhui a lot of pain. For fifty silver knives, he had to fight hard outside the city for several hours!

Since then, Shen Zhui gave up the idea of ​​taking advantage of the loopholes.

Unexpectedly, I saw "people of the same mind" here again today, but the situation was different, the things they did were different, and the results they obtained were also different.

Shen Zhui only fined him a fine, but this time Zhou Qi was imprisoned directly.

"We have to hurry up." Shen Zhui shook his head, ignored Zhou Qi, and quickly rushed to his public residence.

…………

The world map in the second level is very large. Shen Zhui has traveled as far as a thousand miles outside the city, but still hasn't discovered where the border is.

Shangqiu City is also very large, but it is not the only royal city.

As early as when he was promoted to scholar-bureaucrat, Shen Zhui got an important piece of information out of Zihe's mouth. That is, the royal city is not one.

In addition to Shangqiu City, there are four royal cities: Yangzhai, Zhensu and Luncheng.

There are also twelve secondary capital cities, three of each of which guard the four royal cities in a triangular position.

But even though it said so on the map, Shen Zhui had never seen these cities before.

He guessed that the outer nine endgames were divided into difficult and easy ones, and the entry points were divided into first come, first served. Perhaps these differences were not only reflected in the official positions after entering the city, but also in the city level.

"I don't know if Zhou Qi is the first one to come in. Is it possible that someone from other cities has already come in, but I don't know?" Shen Zhui thought to himself.

There are nine exquisite chess game endgame pictures and nine origins. The speed of solving the game is related to the perception of the origins.

Shen Zhui boasts that he has systematic help and no one should be able to solve the problem faster than him. However, among the hundreds of thousands of adventurers from all over the world, there are many capable and strangers among them. Thirty days have passed, so there may not be anyone who can solve the problem faster than him. Having overcome the situation, we entered inside.

"Can't relax." Shen Zhui immediately quickened his pace.

…………

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed since Shen Zhui delivered the mission.

Shen Zhui is now a fifth-level official who has reached the ninth level!

And Shen Zhui also discovered fourteen other adventurers through the soldiers assigned throughout the city during these seven days!

In the mansion of the fifth doctor.

"Zixing, what happened to the people you paid attention to?" Shen Zhui looked at the dark-faced strong man on his left.

This person is none other than Shen Zhui's previous Shangguan Ziji, but now the master and slave have changed positions, and now Shen Zhui has become Ziji's Shangguan.

"Your Majesty," Zihe said respectfully. "Among these fifteen people, the tallest one is a fifth-level scholar-official, twelve are fourth-level Bu Geng, and one is being tortured in Sanxing Prison. As for Zhou Qi, who has been released, he is now working under his subordinates. Made by God.”

"Oh? Shangzao?" Shen Zhui couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Zhou Qi originally started out as a level 3 hairpin, but now he can only become a level 2 expert.

And the people who came in later than him, the highest have reached the fifth level of scholar-bureaucrats!

"Hmph, but this kid still needs training and training. It is absolutely impossible to promote him so quickly." Zihe snorted coldly.

"Huh? What's going on?" Shen Zhui asked curiously after seeing Zi Xie's attitude.

"As soon as this man comes to Gongcheng Mansion, he will challenge me and say that if he defeats me, he will be made a scholar-bureaucrat." Zihe said.

"Is this happening?" Shen Zhui became interested. "Have you promised him?"

"Promise him?" Zihe shouted exaggeratedly, as if his hair was fried. "How can it be!"

"Your Majesty, do you think that my title in Daxia is just child's play?"

"If challenges are used to determine official titles, wouldn't it mean that the world is dominated by strongmen and chaos is inevitable? He can be promoted to an official, conduct himself as an official with virtue, conduct good deeds as an official, and conduct military merit as an official, but he cannot challenge existing officials. Be an official the way an official should be!”

Shen Zhui nodded noncommittally. The rules here were a bit special, unlike those of Wu Anjun.

"Then how did you deal with it in the end?"

"He was beaten with a stick and beaten out." Zihe said with a dark face. "Originally I wanted him to start with hairpin hairpins, but now...hum, just let me stay in Shangzao!"

"..." Shen Zhui couldn't help but be speechless. Zihe is now at the fifth level of magical power, but this refers to his combat power outside the city. If he were in the city, his strength could not be inferred based on common sense. No matter how talented Zhou Qi was, he would not be able to challenge the rules.

He found that the Zhenwen people in this secret realm had not only improved in overall cultivation, but also become more and more humane.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Zhui waved his hand and said, "Zihe, go and bring him to me."

"Yes, sir." Zihe responded respectfully and left quickly.

Shen Zhui, who was sitting on the chair, was playing with a small golden sword in his hand.

The golden sword blade floated in the palm of his hand, with some dragon patterns wrapped around it. Compared with when he first arrived, Shen Zhui's golden mantra had changed a lot.

Every time he advances to a level, he will receive a True Text Talisman Edict. When he is an official, the attributes of this True Text Talisman Edict become selectable.

However, Shen Zhui chose the metal quality every time he was promoted. During the last promotion, he was rewarded with two dragon scales from Zuo Shuchang.

Later, when he went to see the young master to create Yanhui, he received ten dragon scales again.

This treasure is the best material for natal objects that are integrated into the mantra.

Although it is different from the True Text Talisman Edict, the True Text Talisman Edict directly increases the power and duration of the mantra. Find the bookstore www.zhaｏshuyuan.com

And this dragon scale is attached to the sharpness and toughness of the golden sword, turning the golden sword into a dragon-patterned golden sword!

The previous golden sword was beneficial to oneself, but it was too rigid and easy to break. Shen Zhui tested it and found that if it was pierced into the fourth-level high-level armor, it would be damaged and it would have to be taken back into the body and nurtured for many days before it could be used again. If all of them collapse, the impact will be even greater.

But now, after merging the power of twelve dragon scales, the dragon-patterned golden sword can already cut through the fourth-level magic weapon. Even if it hits the fifth-level magic weapon head-on, it will only bend and bounce back. After gaining toughness, the defensive power of the golden sword itself has been greatly enhanced.

As for the other six natal mantras, they have not changed much. Since they are only taken from ordinary phantom beasts, their grades are not as powerful as the magical sword armor, and their current effects are only average.

"I don't know what kind of effect it will have if the Golden Mantra is upgraded to Holy Word Technique." Shen Zhui had some expectations in his heart.

At this moment, the sound of Zixi came from outside the hall.

"Sir, the second-level superior Zhou Qi has been brought here."
