() The next afternoon, before evening, Lu Tao followed Nana's father, York, to another settlement.

Compared with the underground settlement where Black Dragon Village was located before, the entrance to this gathering place was directly in a tower, and the shape on the outside of the tower was similar to the pattern that Lu Tao saw in the cave behind Black Dragon Village, which was also a kind of mirage. This is quite convenient, so Lu Tao followed York, from the entrance of the passage under the tower, directly into another world.

"You'll follow me later, don't talk too much, the people here are not easy to get along with, and it's not good if you anger them, by the way, don't reveal your identity as an outsider, remember?" Before entering the underground, Yokla stopped Lu Tao and told him.

Lu Tao nodded and asked, "Why can't I reveal my identity as an outsider?"

"No, I just think it's safer and not easy to get out of the way, there are always some strange people here who may leave you behind because of your status as an outsider, after all, they haven't done this before. ”

"Uncle York, didn't they think about forcibly keeping you?" Lu Tao was a little puzzled, so he asked.

Uncle York shook his head: "I'm not an outsider anymore, I'm just a person who was born and grew up in the underground world. ”

After saying this, Lu Tao followed York into the underground, which was different from the gathering place where Black Dragon Village was located, there were neither lizards guarding the main road, nor a cliff to climb, as soon as he entered, he saw a large plain, but the moss above his head still emitted a faint light, rendering an underground world into a dim appearance.

Without a high place, Lu Tao would not be able to look at the scattered villages in the distance like before, and he didn't know how many people had gathered here, and he couldn't even calculate the approximate number. In the process of leading the way, Uncle York also deliberately bypassed some villages, passing far away from them. In other villages, Uncle York greeted the guards in a friendly manner as he passed by, as if they had known each other for a long time.

After crossing a small hill, York stood on the top of the hill and gasped for a while, pointed to a village lit by moss in front of him, and said to Lu Tao: "Look! That is the destination of our trip! The largest village in this settlement!"

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Lu Tao to follow, and walked in the direction of the village.

The village is still surrounded by a wooden fence, but it is different from the style of Black Dragon Village, which has two layers of fences, inside and outside, which are fixed to the ground in the opposite way, and there is a clearing in the middle, which at first glance looks like these two layers

The fence guards against both the inside and outside of the village.

Walking to the door, it turned from just an opening in the original Black Dragon Village to a wooden door, and above the wooden door, there were two tall towers hidden in the shadows, if it weren't for Lu Tao's good eyes, he could hardly see these two buildings hidden in the dark. The area ahead of us was lit by a mossy patch, and York stood in the doorway for a moment, when a head poked out.

"Yo, isn't this York? Why are you here again? I remember not long after you were here last time?"

"Luca, you kid is neither too big nor too small!" York pointed to the samurai who was peeking out of his head from above, "Hurry up and open the door, I want to see you great wizard, and besides, I can't be a guest." ”

The warrior who was called Luka by York stretched out his head to look at Lu Tao again, and shook his head: "That's not good, we have been fighting with the village next to Silver Village recently, York, you have to tell me who that guy behind you is, I can let you in, and you must tell the elders first." ”

York quietly waved his hand at Lu Tao, and then replied: "This is my apprentice, I brought him to meet the world, and I happened to be here, so I want to come down to see the great wizard and ask him some questions." ”

"Apprentice, he's also from Black Dragon Village?"

"That's right, of course my apprentice is from Black Dragon Village, those boys in the village, I still like it, but unfortunately this is the only one who can be of great use. York shook his head, as if he really regarded Lu Tao as his apprentice.

Lukka finally stopped asking, but nodded at York with a smile: "Hehe, I wanted to be your apprentice at the beginning, but then I heard that you still have to be literate, I really can't remember those ghost drawings and give up, okay York, I'll go to the elder, you wait here for a while, try not to leave the range outside the gate, otherwise it will not be good to be attacked by the people of Silver Village." ”

After saying that, Lukka retracted his head and disappeared, leaving Lu Tao and York, and perhaps the two buildings behind the gate, secretly peeking at the archers on this side.

"There is a village called Silver Village, could it be that this village is called Golden Village?" After waiting for a while, Lukka did not come back, and Lu Tao, who was a little bored, couldn't help but ask York.

"You guessed it. York nodded: "However, they can mention it themselves, you must not mention Silver Village in front of them, there is a feud between these two villages, and the fight has lasted for almost hundreds of years." Well, someone is coming, remember, don't talk much, leave everything to me. ”

As soon as Lu Tao nodded, the wooden door in front of him slowly opened outward, and an old man in gorgeous clothes walked out.

"York, I didn't expect you to come back here so soon, welcome, welcome, you are the great fortune star of our Golden Village, after you came last time, the war between us and Silver Village was a big victory, if it wasn't for the Golden Village where you came first and then went to the Silver Village, those guys in the Silver Village would definitely think that York You are a spy sent by our Golden Village, hahaha, I heard that even your apprentice is here this time, please come in, don't be polite, just treat this as your own home." ”

The last sentence was said by the old man to Lu Tao, Lu Tao could only nod his head, and kept in mind York's advice and didn't say a word.

"Elder Jinwu, you can't say that, otherwise I won't be able to walk around the villages anymore, and they won't really arrest me as a spy, you're not praising me, but you're hurting me." ”

"Hahaha, that's why I said York, or you can just move to our Jin Village and settle down, look here, it's better than your Black Dragon Village, I don't know how many times better, when you get to our Jin Village, you don't need to run around, we just want to build a school, so that the little guys in the village who have the energy and nowhere to do it can learn to write, just so you come to be the principal of this school, we pay you every month, isn't it good?"

York hesitated for a moment, he did have some interest in a school, if he could give the words he learned to the people here, I have to say, York would have fulfilled his wish with his father, this temptation was simply irresistible for York.

However, he still said cautiously: "Elder Jin Wu, let me think about this matter for a while, suddenly I can't decide, I still need to go back and discuss it with my family." ”

"Hahaha, that's good, our Jincun welcomes your arrival very much, the village chief may mention to you specific things, and you can try to tell the village chief if you have any requirements at that time." Then let's go inside, it's not a problem to talk at the door all the time. ”

Walking into the Golden Village, the buildings here are much more gorgeous than the Black Dragon Village, this gorgeous not only refers to the bright colors painted on the outside of the buildings, but also their building materials, all the buildings in the Golden Village are made of stones, and the outside is smoothed with mud, which looks neat and tidy, and looks very solid.

This architectural style became even more exaggerated as the elder named Jin Wu continued to lead the way and led Lu Tao and York to the village chief's house. The village chief's house looked like a castle no matter how it looked, with a sturdy exterior wall, enclosing a towering attic, all made of stones, and the outermost gate, glowing with metal, if you wanted to attack here, I am afraid that you would have to bring a cannon from somewhere.
