Chapter 145: Island Extravaganza
The speed of the Wind Pony is exactly what it sounds like.
When the frame was moving, Xi Yan, who was sitting in it, immediately felt that the speed was too fast. However, the frame here is very well designed, and there are no bumps in the rush.
There are separate seats in the frame, all of which are fixed to the cabin.
Huzi sat next to Xi Yan and experienced the journey of the frame for the first time. Although I feel sorry for that gold coin, I have already sat on it, so I must enjoy it.
There are 10 seats in the carriage, and the seats are full. There was no conversation between the ten men, some with their eyes closed, some looking left and right, and some looking out through the glass windows on the walls of the carriages.
Xi Yan and Huzi sat next to the glass window. The first time I came up, I naturally hoped to see the bustling and lively scene outside through the glass window.
At this moment, Huzi was almost lying on the glass window, trying to see clearly. It's just that the frame is driving too fast, and the scenery outside the window is flashing, leaving only a virtual shadow.
Huzi complained: "Sister, it's too fast, I can't see anything." ”
"Of course not, this galley is too fast. Well, don't worry, when you get to the center of the island, you will naturally see the bustling and lively here. Xi Yan whispered.
The car was quiet, only the two of them whispered conversation.
A woman with her eyes closed opened her eyes, looked at them, and quickly closed them again.
Others, unaffected in the slightest, didn't even bother to glance at them and take care of themselves. Presumably, this situation has long been common.
Those who can afford to sit on the frame, whether they are mortal cultivators, are wealthy people. Where would there be such a fuss as Huzi.
Xi Yan and Huzi naturally felt the atmosphere in the car, but the freshness of the first experience made them ignore the surroundings.
Huzi said again: "Sister, I really want to see the outside clearly." "Spent a gold coin, and if he didn't look back, he felt panicked.
Stretched out his hand and rubbed Huzi's head, Xi Yan didn't know him. "If you can't see it, you can't look at it, and the Wind Horse is famous for its speed. It's coming soon, and you'll be able to feast your eyes later. ”
"I understand what my sister said, but I just want to see the scenery along the way."
Inside the carriage. An old man suddenly said, "Quiet." ”
This sound suddenly made Huzi close his mouth.
Xi Yan looked over, only to see the old man with a faint anger on his face, and when she looked over, she continued: "It is forbidden to make noise in the carriage, keep quiet." "Look deliberately at the place where the sign is posted on the wall of the carriage.
Xi Yan looked along. And so it was. He immediately looked at the old man apologetically.
Huzi didn't know why, but he was drunk by the old man and stopped talking.
Xi Yan stretched out her hand to point to the logo, and when Huzi saw it, she immediately stuck out her tongue.
The two of them only looked out the window before, but they only glanced at the inside of the carriage, and they didn't notice that there was such a request.
Two quarters of an hour passed quickly.
As soon as the wind pony stopped, everyone in the car immediately got up and quickly left.
Xi Yan and Huzi have just arrived, and they have no direction at all. I don't know where to go.
The two looked left and right, and when they decided on a direction, they were ready to leave.
At this time, someone stepped forward and said, "You guys are new here, don't you know how to go?" ”
The person who came was a woman in black, who was one of the people in the car before. Xi Yan recognized it at a glance. He is about 30 years old and well-dressed.
"May I ask who you are?"
"I'm Wonderland, an agent of the White Shark Alliance, in charge of matters on Yingke Island."
White Shark League, Xi Yan chuckled in her heart. The name is familiar. When he first set foot on the island, the guard mentioned it many times. I didn't expect to meet the people of the White Shark Alliance so soon. This power that rules Yingke Island is said to be extremely powerful, and it has many islands under its name. Welcome Island is only one of them.
looked at the wonderful words, and Xi Yan didn't make a sound. It is doubtful that such a person who took the initiative to find him.
"The girl is doubting me? As he spoke, he took out a pitch-black token in his hand, and the sign was engraved with large golden characters "shark". "This token is a status symbol of the White Shark Alliance, and no one can forge it."
People are so sincere, Xi Yan thinks about countermeasures. "It turned out to be someone from the White Shark Alliance. It's disrespectful. We're new to the city and somehow caught your attention? ”
"Your temperament is really appetizing to me, let's be honest, I noticed the words and deeds of you and this kid on the frame just now. Yingke Island has a special location in the sea area, and there are many passers-by, and I have seen a lot of passers-by like you. I guess you don't know why Yingke Island is called that. Actually, it's because every year we hold a grand event for new guests. This year's event will take place in 20 days, and you have come at the right time. ”
"Extravaganza? Want us to participate? Xi Yan pointed at herself, she didn't believe it, the first time she heard of such wording, there were such rules on the island.
"So what if we don't participate?"
Many guests don't believe it, and they're used to it. Not annoyed, he said: "The rule on the welcome island is that guests must participate in the two months before the arrival of the grand event, and all passers-by who enter the island must accept such rules. ”
"It's hard for a strong man." Xi Yan was unhappy. "The rules of your island must be obeyed by others, such a thing is too unbelievable."
"Hehe, this rule has existed since the White Shark Alliance took over Yingke Island, and it has a history of nearly a hundred years, and no one can disobey it." Punch Lines doesn't worry about the guest's rejection in the slightest. The whole island is under the control of the White Shark Alliance, how can a person be an enemy of the White Shark Alliance.
"Can you tell us what exactly we want to do with this event?" Xi Yan suppressed the anger in her heart and asked kindly. She still understands the reason that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
"Here's a detailed description of this year's event, you can check it out." Miaoyan handed over a booklet with a blue cover.
Xi Yan was surprised and asked, "Is the content of the event different every year?" ”
Miao Yan nodded, smiling without saying a word.
"Now that you two know, please come on time." Miao Yan finished speaking after Xi Yan took the booklet, and turned to leave.
Xi Yan held the booklet in her hand, and she was in no mood to open it at all. When encountering such a thing, she has a hunch that it will never be good. However, a behemoth like the White Shark Alliance, since he took the initiative to come to the door, he would definitely not let people disobey.
"Sister, what should we do?" Although Huzi is young, he has a bright mind. I also smell that this thing is unusual.
"Take it one step at a time. People took the initiative to find it, how can we retreat. Isn't there still twenty days left, and there is still time for us to prepare? ”
"Oh, so what the hell is going to be done with this event?" Huzi stared at the booklet in Xi Yan's hand. I'm hungry for the content.
"Let's go, let's find a place first, and then take a closer look."
The two found a teahouse, and after entering the private room, Xi Yan looked at the brochure carefully.
Huzi was anxious to know though. But he still sat obediently and waited.
The thin booklet is only a few dozen breaths, and Xi Yan has already finished reading it.
After Huzi saw it, Xi Yan said: "You also have to participate in this grand event, as long as it is someone who arrives within two months, whether it is a mortal or a cultivator, you must participate." And this year's event is on a small island hundreds of miles north of Yingke Island, called the Treasure Exploration Journey. ”
The general information on the booklet is like this, which makes Xi Yan and Huzi quite puzzled. The purpose of the White Shark Alliance is to give more people who pass by here a chance to explore treasures, but why don't they do such a good thing. Instead, they give up opportunities to outsiders. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
If you don't understand things, Xi Yan can't sit still. It doesn't hurt if she's alone, the key is that Huzi also has to participate. Then, the safety of the tiger is the top priority.
The mind of wandering has been affected, but since it has come, it can't be like this. Or took the tiger into the bustling area in the center of the island.
Huzi was still a child after all, and was quickly distracted.
Walking and walking, Xi Yan's mind gradually let go, and she was no longer entangled in the grand event.
I sighed in my heart, it is worthy of being a prosperous area in the center. It's really very different from the periphery.
Rows of magnificent buildings are built, surrounded by a six-petal flower in the center of the island, and in the center is a tall white tower overlooking the island.
This white pagoda is the secret place of Yingke Island. Very few people can climb to the top of the tower.
Huzi's gaze was firmly glued to the white tower, he had seen such a building for the first time, racking his brains to think about how a human could build such a tall tower.
"Sister, is this really a masterpiece of mankind?" Huzi stood under the tower and immediately felt his own insignificance. It's incredible, how exactly did it do it?
Xi Yan also has this question. In her. It was also the first time I had seen such a masterpiece. Although the city is huge and well-planned, the houses there are very different from here.
I sighed in my heart, it is amazing to be able to build such a god.
The two of them stood under the white pagoda in the center of Yingke Island like dirt buns that had never seen the world, and were shocked by the magnificent architecture here.
The center of the island is really extraordinary. It's home to stunning architecture and a massive trading center. Xi Yan and Huzi walked around it, and immediately felt that the Yongxing Commercial Company that satisfied them was completely different from this.
Dazzling, dazzling, Xi Yan couldn't take her eyes off it, and she felt that her eyes were not enough. When I arrived here, I was surprised that I was shy in my pocket, and I wanted to put something in my pocket that I could win with a few pieces of ore.
They are in the cultivator's trading area, and everything here is exclusively for the cultivator. All kinds of potions, weapons, artifacts, ores, etc. Of course, the medium of exchange here is all spirit coins.
Xi Yan deeply felt that the days without money were too sad. I can only watch all kinds of treasures pass by me.
From the excitement at the beginning to the numbness later, Xi Yan and Huzi walked for a full day.
"Please come in and see, we will do our best to provide you with whatever you need." The maid said with a smile.
Along the way, they encountered countless such invitations, and at first they went in and walked around, but now, they are no longer in the mood to go in. The things in the store are very good, but I can only get over the addiction, and my hands are itchy and shy.
Stiffly smiled and politely rejected the maid, Xi Yan took Huzi and left quickly.
As soon as he returned to the inn, Huzi said: "Sister, today is really an eye-opener, I never knew that there are so many things in this world." ”
"Yes, I've only heard about it before, but today I finally saw it with my own eyes." Xi Yan sat down and said rather melancholy: "It's just that each of these treasures is worth a lot of money, and it is very difficult to own one of them." It wasn't until today that my sister understood how important money was. If I knew this, I would have brought more valuable things with me when I left, and I could sell them for money. ”
At this moment, Xi Yan misses Tuanzi very much, and with the temperament of Tuanzi Cainu, she should have collected a lot of treasures. Take out a few random pieces, and it will be enough for her.
"Sister, are we really going to wait here for twenty days?" Huzi asked.
At the mention of this, Xi Yan's expression immediately became stern. I almost forgot about it.
Thinking carefully about the various explanations about the treasure exploration journey in the booklet, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that the White Shark League would not do such a thing. There must be something else hidden in it, and it is imperative that we try our best to figure out the strange things.
After resting for one night, the next day, Xi Yan took Huzi straight to Yongxing Commercial Bank.
Here, the acquaintance is limited. Only Gu Xun can solve her doubts.
Gu Xun really did what she said, as soon as she entered Yongxing Commercial Bank, someone immediately came to greet her, and when she reached the second floor, she was warmly entertained.
After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, Gu Xun arrived in a hurry.
"I'm sorry for being late, so I kept the girl waiting." Gu Xunli is thoughtful and makes people feel highly valued.
Xi Yan hurriedly said: "Where, where, we have just arrived." ”
The two sides have seen the courtesy, no longer polite, and go straight to the point.
"Gu Gongzi, I came here today to find something."
"Oh, please." Gu Xun raised his eyebrows, thinking about it.
Sure enough, I listened to Xi Yan say: "What is the annual event on Yingke Island, can Gongzi solve my doubts?" ”
Although the question was polite, Xi Yan's eyes stared at Gu Xun urgently, obviously paying special attention to this matter.
Gu Xun thought for a while and said, "Yingke Island does have this rule, and it varies from year to year. Now that the girl already knows about this, she should know something about this year's event, can you tell me about it? ”
"Treasure Hunting." Four words are loud and clear.
And after Gu Xun heard it, his eyes immediately changed, but he quickly recovered, but he couldn't escape Xi Xun's eyes.
Xi Yan thought to herself, could this matter really have another mystery, otherwise how could Gu Xun react like this. I was anxious, hoping that Gu Xun could solve her doubts soon.
Knowing Xi Yan's thoughts, Gu Xun didn't hide her selfishness, "The girl has just arrived, and she doesn't know much about the rules on the island. This extravaganza is specially prepared for the guests of the island and is held once a year in different formats such as treasure hunting, searching for something, competitions, and so on. The treasure hunting trip that the girl said was one of them, that is, there was a treasure in a certain place, and the girl and others needed to search for it together until they found the treasure. Hence the name of the treasure journey. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Xun stopped. (To be continued.) )
