The Last Gentleman

Chapter 172: unexpected encounter

Chapter 172 An unexpected encounter

 In the endless gray desert.

 The gray dead eggs like pebbles are rolling slowly,

 Due to the slow scrolling speed,

After estimating the rolling direction of the egg, Yi Chen will grab the egg, run for a hundred meters quickly, and then put the egg down again. After a brief orientation correction, he will pick up the egg and move it another hundred meters.

 This is the cycle.

While Yi Chen was picking up and placing eggs, there was also a silver-haired young man following behind him, holding a mobile metal crutch that is common in hospitals.

Moonmark Lorian, who was disappointed with the old world, did not embark on a journey of exploration alone.

 At the same time, he also gave up his plan to settle down in the old world.

 Comparing the two worlds, Lorian still thinks that the original world is better, so this time it will be a one-day trip to the old world. At that time, Yi Chen's body will need to be used to return from the passage.

So he and Yi Chen formed the current deformed team with one person and one patient.

 Such a team has its pros and cons. With Yuehen's strength, he can go deeper into the area and the probability of obtaining relics is greatly increased.

Once you accidentally encounter another team of gentlemen who have come to the old world, the situation will become difficult to explain, and Yuehen is likely to completely wipe out the opponent without leaving any survivors.

The two of them walked forward in the desert for unknown lengths of time, and their concept of time became increasingly blurry.

This time, Yi Chen did not pick up the dead egg on the ground, but let it continue to roll. He turned around and took out the hourglass from his backpack to regain his sense of time.

 “What!? It’s only been half a day?”

 The gray sand in the hourglass has elapsed halfway... Generally speaking, newcomers exploring the old world must consider returning immediately after half the time has elapsed.

Yi Chen can only be considered as just beginning to explore, and has not encountered anything yet.

Yuehen came over and patted his back gently, "Don't be nervous! The clothing you are wearing has a high leather content, and you can definitely withstand it for more than a day... Besides, I'm here, so you can play a little more." It doesn't matter.

 Let your friends go back first. We can go back later as long as we don't expose ourselves. "

 The palm of Lorian's pat on Yi Chen's back released a special layer of moonlight enchantment, which coated the dark coat with a layer of silver, and the whole person's style changed as a result.

 The consumption rate of skin content is reduced by half.

“Thank you, I’d better try to keep the time within one day. If the overtime monitor will definitely conduct a full-body review of me, your existence will most likely be discovered by then.”

“It doesn’t matter if you find out~ I don’t need to preserve my physical strength anyway. The guy with the armor growing on his body is more powerful, but it’s not to the point where he can kill me.

Don’t think too much, focus on the exploration at hand. It would be really unreasonable if a combination like the two of us ended up empty-handed. "

 During the brief communication between the two,

 The dead egg has rolled far enough away,

Moreover, if you look closely, you will find that the rolling speed has increased compared to before, and it is still increasing...it is rolling into a large sand pit.

Yi Chen also immediately noticed the speed change problem of Dead Egg and was about to speed up to catch up.

Snapped!

 A pale and withered arm suddenly stretched out from the lower end of the sand pit and grasped the dead egg tightly.

Seeing this, Yi Chen immediately got into a spear-axe stance.

Lorian's eyes also flashed with silver light, and one hand gently fell on the lower part of his right eye, ready to remove the gauze covering his eyes at any time.

 Suddenly an exaggerated scene happened,

With the sand pit where the withered arm was as the center, the surrounding sand a hundred meters started to stir, and began to sink downwards in the shape of quicksand.

Yi Chen and Lorian also jumped back and evacuated immediately, escaping from the influence of the quicksand.

Suddenly,

A mobile building that combines the three themes of [Castle], [Throne] and [Shop] breaks out of the sand.

 The overall specifications are visually estimated to be 10m×10m×15m.

Various knob-shaped jewelry, gold skulls and coins of various eras form the base.

The upper end of the base is similar to a miniature castle, and the front can be fully opened. To a certain extent, it is similar to the [sedan] in the country when Yi Chen was alive.

Although the miniature castle has not yet been opened,

However, through the relief patterns on the walls and the window grille structure, one can imagine a treasure house full of rare treasures and smell a sense of transaction.

 Under the throne, there are people who are crowded with "seat carriers" whose backs are bent at 90°. Their skin and even the base are completely integrated. They have been carrying this special chair for an unknown number of years.

One of the people carrying the seat was holding the dead egg in his hand.

Buzz!

This group of people who seemed to be moving slowly came to Yi Chen and Yue Hen in an instant, as if the time of their movement had been 'peeled off'.

Just when the two of them wanted to retreat and distance themselves,

§Wait a moment§

A sound that penetrated the skull and hit the brain forced the two of them to stop thinking about retreating. Instinctively, I felt that if I chose to retreat here, I might be killed directly.

Even Yuehen, an open source patient, feels the same way.

§I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting product "unlaid eggs" on the surface. They are only rare diseased birds that perfectly combine human characteristics, and they have certain 'fertility' attributes. The concept of 'fertility' is temporarily carried from the outside. Only by coming in can you get such good things when you lay eggs for the first time.

 It cannot be mass-produced and can only be obtained by chance.

Would you like to sell it to me? Distinguished foreign guests. §

 As soon as the words fell,

 The castle expands horizontally from left to right, directly turning into a store with various rare treasures.

  A man with endless treasures and bloated flesh was sitting among the treasures. Under his eyelids with several layers of fat, his golden eyes were staring at the two people in front of him.

 Wearing spliced ​​styles of clothing that combine the styles of various eras and civilizations,

 Obviously, he is the owner of this special shop.

As the store unfolded, his body that was compressed inside also spread out, reaching a width of almost twenty meters horizontally and ten meters vertically.

 When the mouth is open and ready to speak,

Teeth made of old metals and rare jewelry were exposed. The most prominent ones were his two golden front teeth.

 One is engraved with [Du] and the other is engraved with [ke]. Together they are [Duke].

“I am very happy to meet independent patients with new diseases here, as well as special human beings who do not belong to the two worlds. I can trade with young people like you, and I will spend a lot of manpower to come to the surface.”

These words made Yi Chen widen his eyes, as if the store owner in front of him could tell at a glance that he had come from time-travel.

Yueshen Lorien felt a kind of pathogenic suppression from the obese businessman.

“You can just call me Duke and come and trade with me.”

The words just fell.

 Epic and magnificent music played in the ears of Yi Chen and Yue Hen at the same time.

An elegant violin solo kicked off the show, along with bells, vocal chorus, and string slides from high to low, as if to draw outsiders into this ancient castle.

 As the music plays,

 It can be clearly felt that the shop owner is deliberately showing off himself.

 A golden frame gradually emerges above the head, which can be observed by the outside world.

 The starting point is also a store sign made of gold, with various forms of gemstones spelling out the words - [Duke's House].

The frames are filled with brilliant gem solution, and there are even solid gemstones mixed in.

 The corresponding titles and names are attached to the frame.
