Renard lowered his head in contemplation, then nodded with a smile: "You're right, but that's after having strength, what about before that?"

"Before this?" Alice's mouth curled with contempt: "Naturally, it's trying to improve its strength, what else can it be?"

Renard was speechless, this girl doesn't play cards according to the routine at all.

When the two were talking, the vanguard of the trial had already arrived at the foot of the Golden Silk Willow City, and at this time, the true face of this magnificent city was fully revealed to everyone.

The huge city wall is wide enough to run horses, which not only facilitates the dispatch of the defending army, but also allows more soldiers to participate in the battle.

Every two hundred meters there were solid stone forts with open firing ports around them, allowing crossbowmen to attack with impunity.

Towering watchtowers are built every kilometer, with a height of about 10 meters, and if you add the height of the city wall, the distance from the ground is 30 meters, and with the help of telescopes, you can see the scene almost clearly dozens of miles away.

The huge gate is like a monster's open mouth, the sharp horse-repelling stakes are like fangs bared, and the sniper emits a huge cold light under the sunlight, giving people an extremely strong deterrent power.

The gates were so wide that the steel-made gates were open enough for twenty people to travel side by side.

Even so, the front of the door was still crowded, and the long queue of carriages stretched for miles.

The most surprising thing is that the animals pulling the goods are not ordinary cattle and horses, but strange beasts that have never been seen before, pulling carts full of goods, slowly walking through the gate to the city.

The eyes of many young students revealed a look of surprise, and their mouths were a little closed.

One of the giant beasts was about the size of the Earth Dragon, and as it passed under the city gate, it almost blocked the entire doorway.

However, it was not conscious at all, and still wagged its tail leisurely, moving forward slowly.

The guards kept driving and pushing, but the other party just didn't give face, and still went their own way.

And this is not the most burly beast of all, the one next to it is a few points bigger than it.

The beast's skin was tan, somewhat similar to that of an elephant, with strong limbs like iron pillars, and two long curved tusks sticking out of its mouth, four or five meters long.

Seeing the look of surprise on Renard's face, Alice explained, "That's the Kodomon, a magical beast unique to the Boleyton grasslands. ”

Renard had read a lot of books on the cruise ship, so he knew it was a Kodomon, and even if he hadn't read the books, he had encountered and fought with them countless times in the game.

He was amazed at how large these Kodomon were, like small mobile fortresses.

Alice was still explaining to him: "Despite its huge size, it is actually a very docile herbivorous beast, although it moves slowly, it can carry heavy loads, and it ignores most difficult terrain, and is the favorite vehicle of merchants. ”

"Herbivore, that should be easier to control, right?price, where can I catch it?" Salisbury's mind suddenly came alive, if he could catch such a monster as a mount, it would definitely be very exciting.

The corners of Alice's mouth hooked up a sneer again: "I just said that they are docile, but I didn't say that they don't lose their temper, if the Kodomon goes crazy, even the fighting warriors will have to retreat." ”

Then she turned her gaze to the others and said jokingly, "If you really want to get a giant beast like this, you can go to the big trading house here to buy it, but the price is very gratifying, and the cheapest young beast will cost two or three hundred gold coins." ”

Hearing this number, Salisbury subconsciously shrunk his neck.

Renard adds: "It's not the biggest expense to buy Kodomon, it's more expensive to feed them. ”

He looked at Salisbury and asked, "Do you know how much forage the Kodo Beast eats every day?"

Salisbury shook his head cooperatively, in fact, he really didn't know.

Renard held out a finger and shook it very lightly.

Salisbury said, "A hundred kilograms?"

He is just playing dumb and trying to provide his boss with space to sell his knowledge.

"Wrong!" Reynard looked appreciative, and then said, "It's a thousand kilograms." ”

"Ahh "And how much does it poop?" "......"

Alice continued, "If you want to feed it, it will cost twenty silver coins a day for forage alone, and few people will choose this monster as a means of transportation, except for those caravans with deep pockets. ”

Renard sang and harmonized with her: "However, Kodomon is still very popular, after all, the cargo capacity is huge, and one Kodomon can drag dozens of carriages forward at the same time. ”

"Oh my God!" "How much strength does it have?"

After a few exclamations, Christopher said, "And Kodomon are easier to care for than cows and horses, they are never sick and they are not picky eaters." ”

Alice nodded: "If you want to catch it yourself, it can be found everywhere in the Boleton grasslands, but I advise you to abandon this unrealistic plan, because the wild Kodo beast is very hot-tempered." ”

Her words immediately dispelled the students' cautious thoughts about catching the Kodomon, after all, the Boleton Grassland is the territory of the orcs, and it is simply difficult to successfully capture the Kodomon from there.

The crowd had already arrived at the gate of the city while chatting, and because they were not a caravan, they did not need to check carefully, but just filled out a few simple forms and entered the city through the side gate next to it.

If the most intuitive feeling of Golden Silk Willow City is magnificent, then the feeling after entering the city is neat.

The streets are wide and straight, and the houses are neatly arranged on both sides of the road, with the eaves all extending a little, and under the eaves are various stalls with a dazzling array of goods.

The city is not as quiet as imagined, but it is very crowded and lively.

As the largest city in the western part of the empire, the prosperity of the city is undeniable, and almost all the famous trading houses in the empire operate here, and even the chambers of commerce of other countries have branches here.

For example, the Honeysuckle Chamber of Commerce of the Arthurian Empire, the Albia United Chamber of Commerce, the Saint Laurent Chamber of Commerce of the Rowling Kingdom, and so on.

Even the Morton Empire has a chamber of commerce stationed in it, and as the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

Alice led the team and managed the order of the team at the same time, fortunately with the help of Renard and others, otherwise she would have to toss to the point of exhaustion.

The weather has warmed up in April, especially in the province of Golden Silk, where the afternoon temperature has reached 26 degrees Celsius.

She wiped the fine sweat on her forehead and said weakly: "There are three kilometers to Nancheng District." ”
