Chapter 13: First Arrival at Black Rock

After going ashore, Bai Lao said goodbye as if there was no such person.

Lin Xi guessed that Bai Lao was probably a high-status magician, and he was also involved in the Martial Arts Academy, maybe they would meet again in the future.

After several days of traveling, the group finally arrived at Black Rock City.

Looking at the white plaque engraved with 'Black Rock Castle' hanging high above the majestic castle tower, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew, I'm tired. ”

"It's finally here, and luckily there are no dangers along the way. ”

“......”

It was the first time for Lin Xi to come to such a big city and savor its grandeur carefully. The majestic castle tower stands on the plain like an angry King Kong, giving people a sense of tranquility and majesty, and the towering city wall spreads into the distance, and there is no end in sight.

Jin Yushi was a little tired, his former vigor was replaced by a tired face, and his young face was full of vicissitudes.

After all, it was his first time transporting goods, and many things had happened. Especially after being pushed to the top position by everyone, huge pressure swept in.

was originally an idle boy who didn't care about anything, but suddenly became a caravan leader who had to take care of everything, and this change in identity caught him off guard.

For this trip, he can be said to have worked hard and exhausted, and finally understood that life is not easy.

"Let's go, and when you're settled, I'll invite you to have a drink and relax. Jin Yushi announced it in public, causing everyone to cheer.

Stress is the best catalyst.

Lin Xi saw all this, and saw Jin Yushi change from a gentleman to a qualified businessman, and he was still a little happy in his heart, after all, through the last incident, the relationship between the two eased and became friends.

And Lin Xi still has a bold idea in his heart, if necessary, he may also have an intersection with the Jin family in the future.

It's time to go.

Lin Xi led Lin Yao to the golden jade stone, and said slightly: "Since everything is settled, then we will leave first." ”

"Ah, so soon, why don't you have a meal together and get together?" Jin Yushi made a reservation, looking at this boy who was only ten years old and full of childish face, he was full of emotion for a while, and he couldn't tell whether he was grateful or admired.

"No, no, we still have something to do, you eat slowly. Lin Xi smiled lightly, like bright sunshine, intoxicating.

Lin Yao also grimaced at him: "Big villain, remember, don't tease girls casually in the future, especially a cute Lori like me, otherwise I will beat you." ”

Watching Lin Yao raise his pink fist. With a threatening look, Jin Yushi suddenly showed an embarrassed smile.

Can't be provoked, can't be provoked.

"By the way, there is a Kim grocery store in the south of the city that we open, you can go there if you have nothing to do in the future. ”

Jin Yushi handed Lin Xi a bronze medal, and several people waved goodbye.

Black Rock City is worthy of being the largest city in the province of Machiyun, covering an area dozens of times that of Mingxi Town, which is completely insignificant compared to it.

There are many buildings in it, and the streets are wide and uniform, and people come and go, so it is not lively. If Creek is a boisterous atmosphere, then Black Rock is a symbol of prosperity.

As soon as Lin Xi stepped into this city, he felt that he had come to a bustling metropolis, and all he had been to before was a poor and remote place, which was not worth mentioning.

Lin Yao happily stepped on the road paved with heavy and neat stone slabs, making a 'stomping' sound, like an elf-like music, and her cute big eyes kept looking at the novelties around her, exclaiming from time to time.

Lin Xi looked at Lin Yao's innocent and lively appearance and let out a knowing smile.

"Silly girl. ”

The two of them walked around for a long time, but they still couldn't figure it out, it was too big here.

"Are you two outsiders?"

A childish voice came, attracting the attention of the two.

I saw a little boy who was not very old and dressed plainly followed them, tilted his head, and said a little timidly: "Big brother and big sister is not the first time to be here." ”

Lin Yao finally saw the child who was younger than her, and suddenly became interested, and asked with a wink of cute big eyes:

"yes, we just arrived in Black Rock City. Any advice, little brother!"

"Uh...... You...... Do you need a tour guide, Black Rock City is actually quite big, I can take you on a tour to introduce it, it only takes 8 copper coins......"

The little boy was a little nervous by Lin Yao's gaze, lowered his head, and spoke with a trill: "Forehead...... 3 copper coins can also be ......"

Looking at the little boy's blushing face, Lin Yao couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

In some big cities, there is a group of people who specialize in taking outsiders on tours to collect commissions, and the boy in front of him should be one of them.

Lin Xi looked at the boy's clear big eyes and couldn't help but be a little moved.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Nianning, and I live in the west of the city. ”

"Nian Ning, like a girl's name. Lin Yao was laughing on the side, and Nian Ning's little face turned even redder.

Lin Xi glared at Lin Yao, stopped her unreasonableness, and said slowly:

"Then I'll hire you to show us how the city is, and pay 10 copper coins. ”

Since the last time he found out the inner ghost, Jin Yushi paid 1 gold coin as a reward, so Lin Xi is not short of money now.

"Wow!10 copper coins? That's enough for our family to spend more than half a month. Nian Ning's face was full of disbelief, such a good thing would actually befall him? Suddenly his face was full of excitement, and he nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Yes, yes!

--------------------------------------

Black Rock City is a vast city, divided into an inner city, an outer city and a suburb.

The inner city was inhabited by city lords, nobles, and many wealthy people. The outer city is where the rest of the people live and live. As for the suburbs, there are creeks, hills, psychedelic forests, and the army of Black Rock City is stationed there.

The outer city accounts for 70% of the total area and is divided into four districts. Lin Xi and the southern district where they were just now belonged to the commercial district, which was a relatively prosperous location, with dense shops, mixed fish and dragons, and all kinds of people, especially martial artists, which could be seen everywhere, really like cabbage on the street.

In front of it is a square, very clean and tidy, with lush flowers. The most striking thing is that in the center stands a stone statue of a general wearing a military uniform and wielding a spear, which is imposing and mighty.

"Who is that person?" Lin Yao asked curiously, pointing to the stone statue.

"He is the first lord of Black Rock City, the great general of the Empire, the founder of the Eastern Fortress, and the hero of the people. He once led the combined forces of Chuyun and Tenglong on the coast of the East China Sea, fought a bloody battle with the Sea Tribes for seven days, and finally won the victory, winning more than 100 years of peace between the two countries. ”

Nian Ning listed those deeds like a number of treasures, the words of praise were like flowing water, and the eyes looking at the stone statue were full of respect, which showed the nobility of this imperial father.

Lin Xi also bowed and bowed to the stone statue.

Heroes deserve to be admired.

Although Lin Xi had not gone through that turbulent era when human lives were like ants, he had heard Uncle Lord say that if it weren't for the desperate resistance of countless heroes who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, the continent would have been ruled by burning demons, abyss creatures and sea tribes now, and there would be no thriving and peaceful situation now.

Therefore, history should not forget them, and to forget them is to forget the future.

"The current city lord, a sky-level powerhouse, one of the ten famous generals of the empire, is the descendant of Lord Xun. ”

As soon as she said this, Nian Ning's eyes were full of stars, and she looked very worshipful.

"Hmph, my brother will become such a strong man in the future. Seeing Nian Ning's expression, Lin Yao was a little unconvinced, took Lin Xi's arm, hugged it in his arms, and said proudly, "Yes, brother." ”

Lin Xi pampered Lin Yao's head and didn't say anything.

--------------------------------------

The Martial Arts Academy is located in the Eastern Side, which is somewhat remote and is one of the most famous places in Black Rock City.

As soon as I came here, a strong quaint atmosphere struck, and what caught my eye was a large black plaque with several golden characters on it, 'Black Rock City Martial Arts Academy'.

"Wow, this is the Martial Arts Academy?" Lin Yao let out an exclamation, although he couldn't see the scene inside, everything outside was very shocking.

The steps paved with white jade are white and flawless, and the whole person is light when stepping on it, and the two tiger stone statues at the entrance are fierce and vicious, and the momentum is extraordinary, so that people dare not give birth to a trace of slackness. At this moment, the Zhu Gate is locked, and there is no trace.

Before the enrollment time, Lin Xi looked at the notice posted next to him, the enrollment started on March 20 and lasted until the beginning of April.

And today, March 18th, I have to wait for another two days.

So the immediate need is to find a place to live.

"Big brothers and sisters can go to my house for two days if you don't dislike it, but my house is a bit ......simple," Nian Ning invited sincerely.

"Okay. ”

Seeing Nian Ning's sincere face, Lin Xi really couldn't bear to refuse:

"Then we'll bother for a few days, how about 20 copper coins in terms of payment. ”

"Huh?"

Nian Ning was taken aback suddenly, obviously 20 copper coins was an astronomical amount for him, but he still shook his head firmly: "No, no, my father taught me that when a friend is in trouble, I should try my best to help without asking for anything in return." "

Seeing Nian Ning's face flushed and said seriously, Lin Yao couldn't help but sneer and flicked his forehead.

"Little brother, why are you so cute?"

It seems that Lin Xi often flicks Lin Yao's forehead and teases her like this, but today Lin Yao finally found someone younger than her, and she couldn't help but get over it.
