In the early afternoon, Carres retrieved the stored horses and wagons from the outpost, and the group continued on their way.

The roads leading to Ember City were all dirt roads, about five or six meters wide, the turf had already been trampled flat, and the ruts were all over the place, and from time to time you could see the rushing team, all of them turned their eyes over, and continued to rush with a quick glance.

Luoshen was in the only carriage, Bai Xuan rode a horse, hurried forward unhurriedly, as far as the eye could see, there were green grassy plains, dotted with low bushes, and there was not even a bird in the sky.

Bai Xuan silently called in his mind.

"There is such a person in this black bag group, can I talk to Steve Rogers?" is an exciting thought to think about.

"It can't be realized, communication beyond the plane requires more energy, this is a black packet group, not a chat group. "It's still cold, electronic sound.

"......" Bai Xuan was stunned for a moment and retracted his thoughts.

"Your Highness?" said Kareth.

"Huh?"

"It's almost time to Ember City. ”

Ember City was developed from a border town, and later the city walls were also built, but there are also many shops and post stations and taverns outside the city walls, all of which have gradually become large-scale with the rise of hunting, and outside the city because the city is not convenient enough, many people come here to go to the Black Curse Forest, and they are in a hurry, and they may not necessarily enter Ember City.

Anyway, there are no good places to go in small border towns, but facilities such as taverns and inns are located in the city of a higher grade.

Behind Ember City, to the north, is the direction of the Chalk Capital. It also takes half a month to ride a horse to the royal capital, and there are many sitting cities in between. The walls in this direction had not yet been completed, and in Bai Xuan's initial vision, it was an opportunity to expand the scope of Ember City.

The current scale is still too small.

"Kareth, the current administrator of Ember City, is that guy from Winter Thunder?" Bai Xuan asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, the Hofer family is mainly engaged in business, they are one of the best business families in the chalk, they were the first to do business in Ember City, you know that Ember City was not as prosperous as it is now, and His Majesty the King entrusted the Hofer family to manage this place. ”

"How many garrisons?"

"Rarely, less than a hundred men, the land was originally born out of strife, distant and barren, sparsely populated, and not valued by the kingdom. ”

Bai Xuan nodded, he knew the origin of Ember City, this land was originally only bordered by Chalk, due to its special geographical location, it was considered a borderless land, more than a hundred years ago, the three kingdoms had friction because of the territorial boundary issue, in order to avoid war, in the end, the Chalk Kingdom compromised and gave up some land on the western border to the Theron Kingdom.

Theron and Rosa agreed to give the borderlands to the chalk as compensation.

Chalk was reluctant, but the territory was better than nothing, and he couldn't imagine that now because of the existence of the Black Curse Forest, Ember City has gradually become an important land.

However, the kingdom has not made much move, and maintaining this status quo is also to avoid irritating the other two countries.

Theron and Rosa were also helpless, the sky was dangerous, they could not enter the Black Curse Forest by other means, and even if they could enter, the cost would not be bearable, so they could only borrow from Ember City, and after a long time, this place seemed to become a free port.

The Cretaceous acquiesced in the entry of the other two countries into the Black Cursed Forest from Ember City, only symbolically collecting a very small amount of tolls, which were the territory of the Chalk anyway.

If the two countries are restricted from entering, there will be another dispute, and it is difficult to say whether this land will be kept in the future.

In the final analysis, the problem is that the chalk country is weak, and the fist is not big enough, so there is no confidence in doing things.

"I heard that Dong Lei is your childhood friend, Your Highness? "Viscount Winter Thunder is still very talented in business, Ember City is very complicated, and he manages it well. ”

"I have a mission when I come from Wangcheng, and I haven't had time to meet yet, so let him come to see me tomorrow. Bai Xuan recalled that he hadn't seen each other for several years, and his personal relationship had always been very good.

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll inform him later. ”

"Didn't you find the last one of the Kingdom Guards on the mission with me?"

"Except for the vice-captain Mark, the bodies of the others have been found, including Wei Kun, who broke through with you at the end, not far from the round pit, and has all been buried on the spot according to the prior agreement. Carres's voice grew solemn.

"The pension for the family will be notified to the royal capital later, and it will be paid at double rate. ”

"Yes. ”

That's all there is to do now. Bai Xuan was silent, he got the black box, and the crystals inside were absorbed by him, but how to report this matter to his father, that is, the old king Faun Katut, he still had to think about it.

The inside story of this matter is not that simple, he must find a way to find out.

"It's finally here, and I'm tired of my old bones. ”

Master Thomas's voice sounded, Bai Xuan looked ahead, the gate of Ember City was in sight, pedestrians and horses in different costumes suddenly began to increase, and the various shops on both sides of the road were a busy scene, bustling with people, making the road look like a street, and also giving him the illusion that the countrymen were entering the city.

"Boom-"

The horses snorted, and a four-horse flatbed carriage suddenly rushed from behind, pedestrians avoided one after another, Bai Xuan and they also stopped, only to see a dead beast fixed on the carriage with a thick rope, its body bulging like a hill, and the two strange-shaped horns on its head were more than one meter long, which seemed to be a deer.

"Oh my God, Wildhorn Elk, which hunting group is this that can hunt this beast?"

"It's worth a lot of money, and the antlers are good. ”

......

Pedestrians stopped to look at each other and talked about it.

Is this a strange beast? Bai Xuan also saw the Wildhorn Elk for the first time, this deer was far larger than ordinary elk, and it must not be easy to hunt and kill.

"Huh?"

The carriage door behind Bai Xuan suddenly opened, and he turned his head to look, only to see Luoshen pushing the car door, half of his body leaned out, his eyes widened, his long eyelashes trembled, and he looked at the elk with a confused expression.

The Arctic Elf had apparently just woken up from a dazed sleep, her expression languid, her silver hair flowing away, and her slender swan-like neck arcing to support her amazing face.

In an instant, the whole street seemed to be quiet, and everyone's eyes were on the same place, and time seemed to freeze.

"Pop!" Master Thomas opened his mouth, his pipe falling, sparks splashing.

Time is still frozen.

"Ho-ho-" The master scrambled to spark and screamed at the ground.

The noise on the street resumed in an uproar, and the pedestrians turned their heads while walking, and they all discussed, in fact, although there are few elves, it is not that they cannot be seen, not to mention elves in the human kingdom, even orcs are quite numerous.

Elves are naturally beautiful, beauty is their innate talent, but there are very few who can reach the level of falling into the gods, and the charm of the moment she just revealed is aptly described by a sentence that Master Thomas said many years later.

"Enough to go down in history!" the master cut out, "and even changed history!"

What happened later proved the correctness of this statement.
