Chapter 19: Tianyang City
Tianyang City is a relatively poor city in the east and west of the Wild Dragon Empire, because it is close to the wild region, and there are not many human races.
On an official road paved with bluestone tiles, there are many pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages coming out of Luoyang Town or other nearby villages, after all, this is the only road leading to Tianyang City.
Gu Bei changed into a cyan robe today, walked leisurely on the official road, and according to the distance calculation, he could reach Tianyang City almost before noon.
Although Gu Xi'er cried and wanted to follow before leaving, she coaxed her for a long time, and promised to bring a gift back to her before getting out.
"Have you heard? Recently, the Beicang Empire seems to be harassing our country's borders, will there be a war?"
"What are you afraid of? How can the strength of our Crazy Dragon Empire be shaken by a mere Northern Cang, and the Church of Light seems to be on our side. ”
......
The conversation of the pedestrians on the road, Gu Bei listened attentively for a while, and he had only heard about the Beicang Empire.
In the Xiuqi Continent, the Wild Dragon Empire is located in the east, the Aoyue Empire is located in the south, and the Northern Cang Empire is adjacent to the beast clans in the desert to the west.
However, these are not things he should worry about and worry about, after all, the national strength of the Beicang Empire is indeed much behind the Wild Dragon Empire, and if they dare to attack, it will be a moth to the fire.
Looking around at the surrounding scenery, the Youngor Mountains on the left are endless, and no one has set foot for many years because of the infestation of fierce beasts.
On his right is the Rootless Sea, less than ten feet away from the official road, and most of the people in Tianyang City and the surrounding villages rely on going to the sea for a living.
The sun was shining, and when it was close to noon, the scorching sun was shining on the land, and even the ground was hot.
"It's finally here!" Gu Bei looked up at the outline of a city not far away, because of the universe, so he didn't sweat a drop along the way, but was refreshed.
The city gate is almost the same as the appearance of ancient times, the city wall is about 20 meters high, and the dragon and phoenix dance on the head of the city are engraved with three big characters "Tianyang City".
"Wait, what are you doing in the city?"
As soon as he stepped into the city gate, he was stopped by several guards at the door.
In the hot weather, still wearing heavy steel armor and holding long hair, seeing the sweaty guards, Gu Bei stopped and said humbly: "Go to the Church of Light." ”
He was a little confused, so many people didn't stop him when they entered the city just now, why did they stop him?
Hearing the words of the Church of Light, several soldiers looked at each other for a moment, their expressions became solemn, and said, "Do you have a certificate?"
Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, then thought of the token left by Tianxi, took it out from his waist and handed it over.
When the soldiers saw the pattern on the token, they knelt down on one knee one after another, and the captain-like figure at the head of the leader was the first to speak: "I ordered you to wait here this morning, and asked Mr. Gu to come with me." ”
"Do you know me?!" Gu Bei raised his eyebrows and asked, this guard belongs to the Crazy Dragon Empire, how could he listen to the orders of the Church of Light?
"It was the Cullinan Protector who ordered me to wait here for you, he is already waiting for you in the Church of Light, please come with me. ”
The captain of the soldier did not get up, but spoke again.
"Lead the way. Gu Bei waved his hand and said lightly, and walked into Tianyang City first.
As soon as he walked into the city, he was shocked by the bustling scene in front of him, with towering buildings and clean streets without even a stall.
And the clothes are far better than those in Sunset.
Among them, I also saw people from several other countries, because of the different hair color pupils.
"How did you recognize me?" Gu Bei asked the captain of the guards who followed him as he walked leisurely, observing the surrounding houses and shops.
"The Cullinan Protector has a portrait depicting Mr. Gu's general outline, so I stopped Mr. for questioning. ”
Gu Bei nodded, this was nothing to Master Yuan Qi.
Led by the guards, the two men crossed several streets and entered a street where there were only no pedestrians, and the surrounding houses were gradually disappearing.
Both sides of the road are planted with flowers and plants of different colors, and a faint fragrance comes to the nose, which makes people a little intoxicated.
"In front of it is the branch hall of the Bright Church in Tianyang City, Mr. Gu, please go in by yourself. ”
He pointed to a majestic palace at the end of the road.
"Okay, thanks for showing the way. Gu Bei thanked with a smile, and the left hand behind his back suddenly waved, and the temperature around the soldier dropped instantly.
He looked surprised when he was sweating profusely, but soon he thought that it should be the guest of the church in front of him, and immediately bowed.
Gu Bei waved his hand, indicating that he could go back, and the temperature drop time could last around him for a while, which could be regarded as his reward for leading the way.
Seeing the guards retreat, he walked alone into the front of the palace.
Like a palace in a fairy tale world, the four large stone pillars in front of the hall stand with balanced supports, gorgeous and huge, and there is a side hall in the back, which looks like it should be a place to live.
But there was not a single soldier or other guard outside this huge hall, and not even a single figure was seen.
"Haha, Brother Gu, you're finally here. ”
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from the side, and I saw a white shadow flashing, and Liu Qi was already standing in front of him, still dressed in white brocade.
"It turned out to be Brother Liu, I haven't seen him for many days, and his temperament is even more extraordinary. Gu Bei was stunned, but immediately smiled in the next second.
"It's funny, Liu is just an ordinary person, I'll take you in first, Brother Tianxi has something important to do, and he can't pull away for a while. ”
Liu Qi only chuckled when he heard the praise, and he didn't think so.
"That's a lot of work. Gu Bei complained in his heart, he was still an ordinary person, and the title of the first Yuan Qi Master of Tianyang City had become so insignificant to him.
Under the leadership of Liu Yan, he found that he did not enter the main hall in front of him, but went to the side hall behind after bypassing the road.
When I walked to the back, I found that this place was like an imperial garden, full of strange flowers and plants.
When I came to the side hall, I began to see other people, but most of them were people in church robes, and many of them were quite old.
When he saw Liu Yan coming, they bowed their heads and saluted, which showed his status.
And Gu Bei noticed through the system that these people were actually all Yuan Qi masters, with levels ranging from 1 to 15, but most of them did not exceed level 10 Qi realm.
"That's it, just tell the people inside what ingredients you need, I've already explained, the dinner starts at eight o'clock in the evening. ”
The two of them walked to a small building and stopped in front of a white jade door, looking from the outside, there were kitchen utensils and ingredients inside, which should be the kitchen here.
