After the Skyfall

Chapter 645 Compensation and Market

When the guard opened the door, Li Yi immediately saw the business leaders and the divine blood warrior Dong Chong who were waiting outside. At this moment, they did not have the slightest hostility, but instead showed a bit of awe.

Sure enough, after being beaten, his eyes became clear and he became polite, knowing to wait outside the door instead of suddenly attacking like he did yesterday.

"Dayi, as promised yesterday, I have prepared 80,000 gold." Shangzhu Liehou endured the pain and lifted a box in front of Li Yi.

After opening, it flickered with red light under the sunlight.

Pieces of red gold were piled together, totaling eight hundred pieces. Although the number did not seem large, these eight hundred pieces of red gold were extremely heavy, like some kind of rare divine iron. They were excellent materials for refining divine weapons.

Even if this thing is not a coin, its value is huge.

"Eight hundred red gold pieces, not too many, please count them, Dayi." Liehou said seriously, "As a merchant, I will definitely fulfill my promise, so please also fulfill your promise and spare my life and Dongchong's life."

Li Yi grabbed a handful of red gold. The warm and heavy red gold collided, making a crisp and pleasant sound, like beautiful music.

Having crossed over so many times, he has always regarded money as dirt, but he really can't help but love the money in this world, because it is not just money, but a piece of treasure.

You have to know that the two beauties, Eji and Suji, are only worth two pieces of red gold. I wonder how many precious things can be exchanged for the eight hundred pieces of red gold here.

"Since you have fulfilled your promise, I will naturally fulfill my promise. From today on, I will spare your life and Dong Chong's life, but this is only my personal forgiveness. I cannot control whether Shangzhu Xiuxiang will cause trouble for you or retaliate against you afterwards."

Li Yi then put the box of red gold directly into the Five Elements Bracelet, and then stared at them and said seriously: "Also, this kind of promise can only be made once. If you cause trouble to me again next time, I will not let you go again."

"Of course." Liehou heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Thank you, Dayi, for your forgiveness."

"Don't thank me, this is just a deal between us." Li Yi said, "You can leave now. I hope we won't meet again in the future."

Lie Hou nodded slightly, then said no more, and turned away with Dong Chong and several other servants. He did not return to the previous house because it had been destroyed in the battle, nor did he leave the area immediately, but continued to go to the homes of other nearby merchants to make compensation.

Because a lot of places were damaged in the battle, the marquis did not want to offend other business owners because of some problems with houses, so he had to spend a sum of money to appease others.

All in all, he suffered a great loss today.

After Li Yi got the gold, he returned to the yard where he lived.

At this moment, E-ji and Su-ji had already gotten up. They combed each other's hair, tidied their clothes, and showed their best side. As beautiful girls, they usually did not need to do anything. They only needed to dress themselves up and practice music and dance.

But after seeing Li Yi, they immediately put down everything they were doing, knelt down and bowed to him, saying, "Da Yi."

"Get up, teach me how to read today." Li Yi said.

"Yes." Eji and Suji responded.

"Dayi, do you have a letter?" E Ji asked again.

Li Yi said, "I don't have a bamboo slip. You can use arrows to write on the ground and give me all the words you have learned."

Then he threw out two golden arrows.

This is a top-grade magical arrow made by the bald Taoist priest. It is very sharp and can be used for writing without any problem.

"promise."

E Ji and Su Ji responded, picked up an arrow each, and then started writing the simplest characters and taught them to Li Yi.

The arrow was indeed sharp, and it was not difficult to write on the hard stone.

The characters in this world are very ancient and primitive, a bit like the pictograms on Earth before, but different from pictograms. Although Li Yi has little culture and is a crude warrior, his photographic memory after practice is just the foundation. If he uses it to study, he can be admitted to a good university, and perhaps become a lawyer, doctor or something like that in the future.

"This is water, this is mountain, this is stone." E Ji read each word she wrote on the ground.

The same is true for Suu Kyi. The two people write different characters.

In just a moment, the ground in the yard was covered with words.

It has to be said that even as slaves they knew a lot of knowledge. No wonder the slave owners sold them for a high price of two hundred gold. In this world, knowledgeable and beautiful women are indeed more precious.

And Li Yi's learning ability did not disappoint.

Li Yi learned one character for every one they wrote. By the time they had finished writing all the characters they knew, he had also learned the writing system of this world and could understand some scrolls.

"Da Yi is indeed the direct descendant of the gods. He has mastered all the characters in such a short time." After putting down the arrow in her hand, E Ji was very surprised.

"It's not a difficult thing, as long as you have a good memory." Li Yi said: "Now that you have learned the characters, I want to ask you how much you know about divine arts. Someone mentioned divine arts yesterday, and I want to learn about it." But E Ji shook her head: "Da Yi, I am incompetent and don't know about divine arts. We are not divine blood warriors, and there have never been divine blood warriors in the tribe before, so we cannot obtain this knowledge."

Su Ji whispered, "Perhaps the slave owners know. They even sold the Blood Warriors as slaves."

Slave owner?

Li Yi's expression changed, and he remembered it after being reminded.

In Beihuang City, if we were to ask who is the most powerful, it would definitely not be the merchant or the warrior, but the slave owner.

Anyone who dares to engage in the slave trade anywhere, in any world, is definitely not a good person, and must be someone with connections.

He looked up at the sky.

It's still early, it's noon.

Thinking that he still had 80,000 gold in his hand, he should probably go to the market, spend some money, and ask the slave owners about the magic. As for the matters of Jiang Mingtian and Zhao Fangji, he planned to make plans after Hu Fei arrived in Beihuang City.

After all, before coming here, Li Yi had already sent a text message to Hu Fei, and believed that he would come soon as long as he was free.

"I'm going to the market. You guys must be tired from teaching me to read. You should have a good rest." Li Yi said immediately.

Eji and Suji looked at each other and immediately said, "If Dayi wants to go and look for the magic, please bring me along. I know the slave owner and I may be able to introduce him to you, Dayi."

It seems that after thinking about it last night, they have understood some things and know that they should seize the opportunity to demonstrate their value.

Hearing this, Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you guys go to the market with me."

Seeing the agreement, E-ji and Su-ji were immediately delighted.

soon.

Li Yi explained the situation to the other people in the house and told them that he was going to the market and would be back in the evening, but the guards said they would escort him after hearing this.

But Li Yi refused.

In the past, when he was weak, he needed guards to protect him, for fear of something happening in Beihuang City. But now, he has reached the fifth Qi realm, and is also a divine blood warrior. The guards here are not as strong as him, so it is useless to bring guards.

He had been to the bazaar once before, so he knew the way.

It’s just that he was poor in the past and couldn’t afford anything. Even if he saw some treasures that attracted his attention, he could only stare at them. But this time was different. He was quite wealthy this time, so if he saw something he liked, he would buy it without hesitation.

soon.

Li Yi took the two beauties through the main road of Beihuang City and came to the market.

His appearance attracted the attention of many merchants in the market.

Because Li Yi was wearing red feather purple gold armor, his whole body was steaming with red clouds, and he was accompanied by a beautiful girl, he looked like a very wealthy man. No, he should be a very wealthy divine blood warrior.

Even from a distance, one could sense the rich aura of divine blood.

"At least he is a direct descendant of divine blood." The business owners showed a bit of awe in their eyes.

A direct descendant of divine blood still has considerable weight in Beihuang City.

Because a direct descendant of the Divine Blood will always have the support of a merchant, as long as that direct descendant is willing, there will soon be another Divine Blood family in Beihuang City.

In this world, the direct descendants of God's blood represent wealth, status, power, and are highly respected.

Therefore, people like Li Yi will never become slaves and will never fall into poverty, unless they are killed by others.

Of course, ordinary divine blood warriors are exceptions, because their divine blood cannot be passed down, so its value is very limited.

When Li Yi was walking in the market with the two beauties E and Su, people passing by would deliberately avoid them a little, not wanting to offend them, and also to show their respect for the divine blood warriors.

In addition, merchants are also more willing to take out their own treasured goods and sell them to the Divine Blood Warriors.

In their opinion, good goods should be sold to powerful warriors, rather than being wasted by weak and incompetent people.

It is also because of this that any powerful businessman must have a divine blood warrior behind him, otherwise he will never be able to achieve great success.
