0005 Beyond mortals
Located in the eastern border of the Oder Kingdom, the border province is part of the Helen County of the Principality of Bauhinia, and is essentially a border fortress because it borders the barbarians further east.
In recent decades, the barbarian priests have somehow found a god of chaos, and the struggle between the two sides has gradually decreased.
As the saying goes, war is the best blending agent of civilization, and war fades, but it cannot take away the traces left by barbarians.
The countless huge scratches on the walls of the city are no longer a sign that there have been countless wars in this place.
In the city, most of the buildings are made of pure natural shale and sandstone cut with knives and axes, and the streets are simple and primitive, revealing a kind of quaint and primitive atmosphere everywhere.
The six major temples and the city lord's mansion looked a little dazzling in such an environment.
The walls are made of white marble, interspersed with colorful glass. The roofs are also carefully built with tiles, and the spires seem to pierce the sky.
Li Yu exchanged all the silver on his body for the common currency of the Oder Kingdom on the black market, a total of four gold coins, fifty silver coins, twenty-five copper coins, and one hundred Odepennies.
In the kingdom of Orn, a gold coin can be exchanged for a hundred silver coins, and so on, the cost of an ordinary person a day is only about fifty Odepence, if you don't have to pray for her sister, this money is enough for Li Yu to spend a period of time in the border herd province.
After exchanging money from the black market, Li Yu saw that the navigation system had finished updating the map, so he followed the navigation and took a public carriage to the front of a hotel, and used ten copper coins to book a hotel for ten days.
After booking the room, Li Yu went to O'Neill's clothing store to customize a robe for Li Yi.
The navigation system is really good, at least, no matter where he goes, Li Yu will not get lost.
After an afternoon of tea at O'Neill's clothing store, the proprietress kept asking Li Yi's size.
How did he know, in the end, he had to use his natural skills and draw a portrait of his sister to the proprietress.
The proprietress first praised her sister a few words, and combined with Li Yu's description and comparison, she roughly estimated a size, and asked the workers to cut the cloth and make it.
Li Yu learned that he would have to wait a day to get the finished product, so he paid the deposit and left the store.
The proprietress sent him to the door of the store, and before leaving, she asked Li Yu to bring his sister at the latest evening to fine-tune some details.
Li Yu answered and went out.
He was now going to the Mercenary Guild under the God of War Department, where he could find out the best news.
It took twenty pence for a horse-drawn carriage ride through several alleys and onto the avenue.
There are more and more people around, and the atmosphere is getting more and more lively.
Entering the gate of the mercenary union, the sound of restlessness suddenly surged like a great flood, and Li Yu couldn't help but rub his ears.
He approached a lady at the front desk and asked her to post a quest to find Netherton, and provided Netherton's basic information, which cost a total of twenty copper coins.
He felt a little painful, and thought that when he found Netherton, he must let him pay for it.
After waiting in the hall for a while, a team of mercenaries took on the task.
The group seemed to have known Netherton before, and as soon as they took over the task, they immediately submitted it, and Li Yu couldn't help but note the appearance of several peopleβa dwarf, a bearded, a noble young man, and a charming woman.
After getting the address from the front desk, Li Yu rushed over again, and soon saw the Netherton family.
Li Yi's expression was a little haggard, and when he saw Li Yu, his accumulated emotions collapsed instantly, and he threw himself into Li Yu's arms with tears in his eyes:
"Brother!!
"Woo woo woo !!!"
"Uncle Jorhan says you're dead!!"
"Where have you been!!"
"Woooooooooooo
"Okay, okay! My brother went outside, and nothing happened. Li Yu whispered to comfort Li Yi, and when he saw that his mood was slowly calming down, he greeted the Netherton family.
Netherton's expression was also a little incredulous, and he invited Li Yu into the room, and said as he walked:
"Li, how did you escape the pursuit of that evil beast boar?"
"We all thought that you had ~~ cough cough, you are a divine painter, and you naturally have the power to surpass mortals. β
"I have no power beyond mortals. Li Yu responded: "I hid under a waterhole, and the wild boar waited impatiently on it before leaving by himself." β
"When I saw that the boar was gone, I came out of the water, and after a few steps, I accidentally stepped on the air, and fell into a cave and fainted, and when I came back to my senses and returned to the town, you were all gone, and I came up in time. β
"Netherton, it seems that your business has been doing quite well over the years, and you have bought such a large mansion in the provincial capital. β
"Hahaha~ It's okay, it's okay. β
"The god of chaos in the east has set up a divine barrier, the barbarians can't get through, we can't get through, and I'm afraid this war will never start again. β
"Without the war, the nobles and citizens of the provincial capital will naturally slowly move closer to the big nobles of the principality, and their lives will become more and more refined. β
"Naturally, the demand for this fur has increased. β
"Li, if you want to develop in the city, and you don't want to paint a god, you can come and follow me, you helped the town lure away the evil beast, and painted a powerful god statue for little Peru, I naturally won't treat you badly. β
"I'll talk about it later~~ It's just that this time I led away the evil beast, and all the bags I brought fell into the pool, and now I'm a little sleepy. β
"It's nothing, the god of business has said that if we lose our wealth, there will naturally be greater wealth waiting for us. Netherton said, took out the double snake cane pendant from his arms and kissed it, and then took out a beautiful bag from his arms and handed it to Li Yu: "Li, your sister is also going to participate in this prayer ceremony, and the cost is naturally not small." β
"Divine stones, divine scepters, these items must be prepared in advance, these are the intentions of the people in the town, you take them and use them first, if they are not enough, I will fill in one or two for you." β
"Hmm. Li Yu took the money bag and put it in his arms, and then came: "Then I will go with my sister to buy what I need to pray to the gods first, and I won't keep much." β
After speaking, Li Yu pulled Li Yi away from the Netherton family and rushed to the residence.
Seeing that Li Yu was still alive, Li Yi's emotions came back to life and returned to the eccentric appearance he had before.
She's like a curious baby, she wants to play, she wants to watch.
Li Yu accompanied her for a day, and returned to her residence late in the evening.
"Brother, since we are in the city, do you want to visit Mr. Lu?" Before arriving at the hotel, Li Yi suddenly stopped: "If you let your parents know that you didn't visit Mr. Lu in the city, you will definitely have to talk about you again." β
"We've been in the city for a long time, so let's visit again when we're ready. Li Yu replied reluctantly: "Besides, if you don't say it, I don't say it, how will my parents know what I did in the city." β
"Then I'm sure I'm going to say it!" Li Yihu smiled: "If my parents can talk more about you and teach you a little more, won't I be under a lot less pressure!"
"You little girl!" Li Yu was so angry that she was about to rub her dog's head, but Li Yi ran away in a flash.
"Brother, I'm a proper god, don't always think about bullying me, I'm afraid that my parents will be angry at home, so I deliberately let you. β
"Otherwise, how could you, a mortal, touch the noble head of this goddess!"
"Yo yo yo yo! I have a long ability, brother, today, I am going to use the body of a mortal to rub your dog's head!" Li Yu said and moved.
On the way here, Li Yu has already tried the effect of milky white light spots, which has a great strengthening effect on the body, and Li Yu's physical fitness has been qualitatively improved compared to before.
I saw that his speed was like wind and lightning, no matter how Li Yi moved, he never escaped Li Yu's clutches.
"Brother, you're so bad, you'll bully me!" Li Yi held her mouth and looked at the clutches rubbing back and forth on her head, almost crying.
"Xiaoyi, when will the prayer ceremony of your natural temple begin?" looked at Li Yu, but the more he rubbed it, the more energetic he became.
"You can pray to the gods at any time, but tomorrow is a unified prayer ceremony, and the success rate of praying to the gods will be higher under the hook of Shen Yun. Li Yi tilted his head, and Li Yu didn't rub it again after all.
"If you pray to God tomorrow, we have to go back the day after tomorrow, then we will visit Old Master Lu today, and he can also give you some advice on praying to God." Li Yu muttered: "But we don't know where Old Master Lu is." β
"Master must be in the academy, brother, is your brain broken?"
"Your brain is broken!" Li Yu gave her a brain meltdown: "The god of knowledge that the academy believes in is not a righteous god, how can it be standing in the city openly!"
"What then?"
"Most of the Daoists in Border Pastoral Province have a relationship with the academy, let's find a Taoist to ask, most of them can get useful information. β
As the two spoke, they didn't enter the hotel, but walked to the street, and after a while, they saw a Taoist with black hair and black eyes.
The two finally arrived at the address, and then walked to the gate of the academy, but saw thick black smoke rising from the academy.
