Monarch of Evernight: Whose price is it for 151
bsp;If this inner armor came from the imperial family, it would make sense. The empire has survived for thousands of years and has accumulated so much wealth that no one can imagine. But based on its characteristics, especially its ability to withstand the pressure of the giant beast of the void, its value is immeasurable. Any peerless strong man who wants to explore the depths of the void will not refuse such a pair of inner armor. On the contrary, for ordinary strong men, it is not very useful. Those with less strength may not be able to carry it.
Such a valuable treasure, if you look at the entire imperial palace's inventory, it would probably be among the top ten. How could Song Zining get hold of this kind of thing?
Qianye was thinking in his mind, and while trying on clothes, he asked casually: "Zining, how many years have you been selling to the imperial family?"
Song Zining grinned and smiled brightly, "What did you say? I didn't understand."
How could he hide this little trick from Qianye? Qianye asked again, "I mean, what conditions did you agree to in order to get this inner armor?"
Song Zining seemed to be relieved and said with a smile: "This treasure was given to me by myself."
Qianye snorted and didn't believe it at all, "The emperor would take the initiative to give you such a thing? I'm afraid ordinary princes and princesses can't be the master, right?"
"That person's status is much higher than that of the prince or princess."
Qianye didn’t believe it even more. Although the Imperial Palace has strict hierarchies and many ranks, there are only a handful of people with higher status than the princes and princesses. Even the imperial concubines, their real status is not higher than that of the important princes. For someone like Concubine Zhao, who has the backing of the Zhao family, she is no more than a prince.
Such a big shot would go to great lengths to curry favor with Song Zining. Let alone Qianye, even Song Zining himself would not believe it.
You don’t need to think about it carefully to know that it must be the same as the process of obtaining the alloy formula. Either Song Zining paid a huge price, or he made a great contribution that is difficult to reward. Then he took out his share and exchanged it for this treasure that in his eyes could save Qianye's life.
Song Zining is so smart. Just by looking at the change in Qianye's expression, he guessed what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "The cause and effect involved in this treasure is huge, and the price to get it is not small."
"Indeed." Qianye also knew what he was talking about and quietly waited for Song Zining's next words.
Song Zining smoothed out the last wrinkle of the inner armor and said with satisfaction: "That's it, it fits perfectly and won't affect the battle at all. With it, your chance of survival will be increased by at least 30%."
"You don't have confidence in me that much?"
"You are facing Luo Bingfeng. Who dares to say that he truly understands him? Who can guarantee that what we see are all his secret techniques?"
Qianye was asked and had nothing to say.
Song Zining patted Qianye on the shoulder and said sincerely: "So, living is the most important thing. As long as it can increase the possibility of saving one's life, no matter what the price is, it is worth it. You have to believe in yourself, no matter how hard you pay, , as long as you live, you can pay it off. You are a man who will eventually climb the Holy Mountain, how can you be overwhelmed by this price?"
While listening, Qianye felt that something was wrong with the content, and quickly asked: "Wait a minute, did you just say that I have to pay the price?"
"Of course! It's your life that's going to be saved. If it's not you who is responsible, should I be responsible?" Song Zining said matter-of-factly.
"This is indeed true, but..."
"It's nothing, I've brought everything and put it on you. It's too late to regret it now!"
Qianye said: "No, I don't want to regret it, I just want to know what the price is."
Qianye is not pedantic either. Facing a strong man like Luo Bingfeng, no preparation can be overdue, and life-saving is the supreme goal. So no matter how high the price is, I plan to bear it. But if you don't even know what you owe, it won't be a pleasant feeling.
At the critical moment, Song Zining returned to his teeth-gnashingly smooth character and said with a smile: "You will know when the time comes."
Qianye snorted and simply stopped asking. As long as the inner armor is not damaged, the worst case scenario is that it will be returned and another compensation will be paid.
However, Qianye couldn't laugh anymore.
Song Zining opened the two boxes respectively. Inside were extremely sophisticated mechanisms, each holding an injection and rising slowly. One of these two injections is yellow and the other is red. Yellow is like rising flames, red is like boiling blood.
As soon as he saw these two injections, Qianye's blood instinctively accelerated and his body's vitality also increased slightly.
Song Zining only glanced at Qianye, then closed the box again and said, "See it!"
Qianye took a deep breath and said: "One is a stimulant, and the other is...a compound? But I have never seen this type of drug? No, I have never heard of it. ”
Song Zining said: "This kind of thing is also top secret in the empire. The annual output is only more than ten. The main ingredients all come from the maelstrom. There is no way to make more. Of course you have never heard of it. You also felt the power of the medicine just now. How about it?"
"It is at least a thousand times more effective than ordinary potion, and it is also effective against divine generals."
Song Zining let out a laugh and said, "Not to mention divine generals, even the King of Heaven can use these two things. Ordinary divine generals may not be able to get one in their lifetime. You are lucky, they are all yours." Remember to use them all before the battle tomorrow."
"Wait a minute, there are quotas for this kind of stuff, right? There are currently five kings in the empire, plus His Majesty, is it enough?"
Song Zining shrugged: "Of course it's not enough. The King of Heaven needs it when he is sitting on the battlefield and exploring the void. There is no way there can be too much. The Emperor and Queen always have a few spares around them. In fact, unless someone like Lin Shuai has repeatedly made great contributions, People who don’t get rewards at all. This is how to use it, you should take a look first.”
As he spoke, Song Zining handed over a piece of paper.
Looking at this description, Qianye suddenly felt a huge headache. Once these two potions leave the dedicated Force array, their effects will quickly disappear, so they need to be used before the war. That super stimulant can greatly activate the body's potential and increase the recovery speed of the Force. With Qianye's current level, the effect is increased by more than half, which has an immediate effect in battle.
That's all, but the complex medicine also needs to be injected before the war. When Qianye's body's vitality drops to a certain warning level, it will take effect. It can repair the body and activate vitality in a very short time. . In actual combat, it is possible to turn a seriously injured and dying person back to life. Use the two potions together for better results. Even if the King of Heaven encounters a fatal situation, he will still have a chance to escape.
The more senior one is, the more they cherish this opportunity. The same is true for the empire. In order to keep the King of Heaven or the strong men close to the King of Heaven, no matter how high the cost, no matter how high the cost.
However, if Qianye had not encountered a life-or-death crisis, then this healing potion would have been in vain.
These two potions may not be as valuable as that set of inner armor, but they will be gone once you use them. How can Qianye return such a favor?
"Zi Ning, where did these two potions come from?"
"No need to ask more, I won't tell you if I ask. In short, you use it first, and then you survive. No matter how much debt you owe, there will always be a day to pay it back."
Qianye smiled bitterly, "That's easy for you to say! How can I repay this kind of debt? At least tell me who I owe, right?"
"You will know when the time comes." That's the sentence again. Qianye had the urge to strangle Song Zining to death.
Seeing that Qianye was about to explode, Song Zining said: "Actually, there is another way to avoid debt, and that is not to participate in the war."
Qianye was silent for a moment and shook his head, "No."
Even for Luo Bingfeng, Qianye's original spear is a huge threat. This is the real containment. No matter how strong the Yun brothers' defense is, they cannot last long under the attack of strong men like Luo Bingfeng. There will always be loopholes. Once Luo Bingfeng was freed, with his wisdom, he would naturally set Song Zining as his first target, followed by young geniuses such as Li Kuanglan and Ji Tianqing. On the contrary, old people such as the Yun brothers and the Li family have little killing value.
Let Qianye sit back and watch Song Zining fall into danger, which is impossible no matter what. Fortunately, this time the debt was all recorded on Qianye, which made him feel better. At least he didn't want Song Zining to owe any more favors.
Qianye waved his hand to put the two boxes into Anduya's space, and then put on his robe. As for the inner armor, I will not take it off in order to adapt to its weight and characteristics.
Song Zining sent Qianye back to his residence and continued his work.
This night, Nan Qingcheng ushered in a sleepless night. Late at night, the troops that had been assembled in advance had already set off, and one after another they walked out of Nan Qingcheng, with torrents of steel rolling into the distance.
The entire night was filled with the roar of engines, the shrill sound of sirens, and the somewhat hoarse shouts of officers. In the early hours of the morning, warships took off one after another, covering the huge cargo fleet heading towards Tingchao City. These heavily loaded cargo ships were filled with supplies for fortifications and sieges.
The residents of the neutral land stayed up all night watching this unprecedented spectacle. In the city lord's palace, the nominal city lord Ji Rui also stood on the high platform all night, staring blankly at the torrent of steel spreading into the distance.
Guan Zhongliu stood beside him, his brows furrowed and his mood complicated.
When dawn first appeared, the army leaving the city came to an end. Ji Rui sighed heavily and said, "It's only 10,000 people, only 10,000 people!"
Wars often break out in neutral lands, and battles involving more than ten thousand people are not uncommon. However, the equipment of most mercenaries is quite rudimentary, and because the equipment is self-prepared, it can be said to be of various types, and the quality is even more uneven. Many weapons were simply handmade, and the ammunition was also unique, which made effective supply during the war almost an impossible task, so there was simply no supply.
How have the vast majority of mercenaries in neutral lands ever seen a regular legion battle between the Empire and Yongye? They never imagined that every mercenary could ride on a heavy-duty truck. They never imagined that the floating fleet that covered the sky was just for transporting supplies and materials. They never imagined that an army with uniform equipment and armed to the teeth would be so powerful. .
"If I give you 50,000 people, will you be willing to fight this war?"
Guan Zhongliu shook his head with a solemn expression.
