Chapter 6 - Going out to pick up treasures
In these two days, Long Xuan decided to take a good look at the capital. He had already been in this world for more than a month, and Long Xuan had only barely understood a few things, especially the language of this world. Long Xuan had been learning for a long time, and was able to understand it, but he did not know how to write it. This made it difficult for Long Xuan to write.
The central hub of the Mad Dragon Empire was divided into the imperial city, inner city, and outer city. The imperial city was mainly the imperial palace, which was the place where the people of the royal Long family lived for generations, and those who were not from the Long's could not live there. The imperial city was guarded by imperial guards, and this army did not have a large number of soldiers, only a mere fifty thousand people. The capital was divided into nine prefectures, and the "Emperor Dragon Corps" was in charge of the regular protection. The army was also made up of a main group of guards with a total of only 1 million people, the commander of which was the older brother of the current emperor, Prince Long Tian Yun. This man already had the strength of a nine star Dou Zong, and was one of the most loyal supporters of the current emperor. The outer city was the place where commoners lived. The entire capital city had a population of perhaps a trillion people, and it was also the most prosperous place in the entire empire.
As Long Xuan led Long Feng, Long Yi, and a few other guards onto the streets of the outer city, looking at the rows of shops on both sides and the dense streams of people, Long Xuan had a hint of understanding. It was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had felt the sensation of crowds of people. A small shop was surrounded by people, and although Long Xuan did not like the noise, he was told by the notification that he found a treasure of the fifth rank in the small shop. This made Long Xuan's heart boil, and after leading the guards to squeeze through the crowd, he could not help but feel depressed, as the history of his previous life had repeated itself.
It turned out that this small shop was a grocery store and had always relied on selling some groceries to make a living. Although it couldn't be rich or expensive, it was not impossible to solve the problem of being warm and full of money. It had been passed down from generation to generation for five generations, and now a special boy had been born who had suddenly activated his battle qi when he was young.
A year ago, in order to break through to the Warrior Realm, a child needed an Essence Pill. Although it was a Grade 1 pill of the lowest grade, its price was not something that this small grocery store could afford. For this reason, they borrowed 100 thousand gold coins from the Huang Family in the city and used this shop as collateral. After consuming the Energy Pill, the little child successfully broke through the warrior stage and became a one star Dou Zhe, but after all, his training was relatively short, and he was born in poverty, so he had never raised this sum of money. Today was the day the loan was due, and it was reasonable that the Huang Family came to collect the land deed from this shop, so no one said anything.
The Huang Family could only be considered a mediocre power in the capital, it was only able to survive by relying on the families up there. Their Huang Family also had the cultivation of Great Dou Shi, if not it would not have been able to become a small family, and the Empire's rules stated that only cultivators who had reached the Great Dou Shi would be able to set up a family, if not it would be considered illegal. The butler from the Huang Family was also a low level warrior and was someone who had witnessed such a scene. Looking at Long Xuan's demeanor and the guards behind him, he couldn't help but be stunned, a middle level Dou Zhe's aura couldn't be hidden, and Long Xuan's noble aura and the unique aura of a high ranking person was something that ordinary people couldn't possess.
Long Xuan did not care what these people thought, he only walked towards the direction of the treasure with the system's notification, the guards behind him followed closely, he quickly found the treasure, but what made Long Xuan puzzled was that the treasure was actually buried in the dust, and when he picked it up, he realized it was just an ordinary firewood knife, but Long Xuan did not say anything, and took the firewood knife to the owner of the shop and asked: "Shop, how much is this item for?" The owner of the shop looked at the ordinary firewood knife in Long Xuan's hand and was curious how Long Xuan knew that there was a firewood knife, but when he saw the powerful aura around Long Xuan and the guards behind him, he anxiously said: "Master, I am not too sure about the firewood knife, if Master needs it, please take it."
Long Xuan did not speak further, he only glanced at the butler of the Huang Family, and had Long Feng negotiate with him, since he had picked up a fifth grade treasure from the shop, although the owner did not recognize the item, Long Xuan was not a greedy person. Furthermore, with the reward from the Queen, he received 50W of purple gold coins, which was nothing much to Long Xuan, as Long Feng had released the aura of a king level expert, the Huang Family clansmen did not dare to speak further, and upon seeing this, Long Xuan did not waste any more words, and immediately said: "His gold coins are paid for me, and are used as firewood blades." Long Xuan, on the other hand, got Long Feng to return the IOU to the boss of the grocery store, while the entire family of the grocery store thanked him profusely. Long Xuan did not pester them any further and led the guards away from the grocery store.
Long Xuan went out to pick up a treasure today and was in a great mood, but as the system was in the process of upgrading itself, he could only keep the treasure and hand it over to Long Feng, who was behind him. After strolling around for a day, they returned to the Duke Palaces.
