The Behemoth of Axavier Chapter 196 Separation and Convergence
Not far from the city gates, next to a modest liquor stand, a somewhat old wooden wheelbarrow was parked. The car was not big, and from the cracks in the rotten and somewhat rotten wooden frame, Ling Ling was scattered with some old wood chips.
At this time, there was a man sitting cross-legged, seemingly a little sloppy, dressed in shabby vicissitudes, with a rather young face under his down-and-out beard.
Khalal and Baikal chased the stars and the moon all the way, and arrived in the city of Tamya two days earlier.
After the two of them walked out of the cave, there was indeed a road leading directly to Tamuya City, which saved a lot of time compared to the winding official road on the map.
It's a pity that Santasia seems to be faster, and the two never catch up. But judging by the traces left on the ground, they were very sure that Santacia must have entered this frontier city.
The area of Tamuya City is far larger than that of ordinary county towns, and countless trading houses and laborers have gathered here, making an incomparable contribution to the prosperity of the city.
There is a natural barrier between Orion and the desert land, a huge mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles. The city of Tamuya sits on the only gap in this massive mountain range.
Although Tamuya City is not the only way to get to the Middle Continent, it is considered to be the safest and smoothest route.
Because of this, the caravans of other countries and even other races in the Eastern Continent would rather take a detour and pay more customs duties to pass through here. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Tamuya City is called "the gateway to the Eastern Continent".
This giant mountain range isolates the entire desert, not only blocking the ambitions of the desert people, but also blocking the erosion of wind and sand for thousands of years.
Because of this, this bare natural barrier has also become fragile in texture.
The whining wind whistled as if countless souls who had died tragically under this mountain range were pouring out their sorrows. No one can climb over this steep mountain, and the jutting rock will be too much to withstand the pressure, break free from the mountain mother's arms, and send you into the abyss.
......
Although Khalar did not know how the Bone would catch up quickly, he trusted the Bone and waited at the gate at the appointed time from the day after entering the city.
Baikal is not a good place to be out and about, but Santasia has seen him. Therefore, the two worked together, and Baikal could only come out at night.
As for the tattered cart under Kailar, he had spent a lot of money to get it back. Of course, there is also a very "promising" job that comes with it.
Although the mountains that stretch for thousands of miles block the erosion of the desert land by wind and sand, it still affects this side of the mountains.
Therefore, the surrounding area of Tamuya City has always been sparsely vegetated Gobi. This also makes the giant city seem lonely, with no other place to live around than the dilapidated towns that make some money for the caravans to rest.
The scarcity of vegetation also means a lack of wood, and the magic stove is not affordable for everyone.
Fortunately, every day there will be a special person in the City Lord's Mansion to pull a whole vehicle of wood from the barren mountains farther away, which can be regarded as an additional income for the City Lord.
In the name of delivering wood, Kiral became familiar with the people in the kitchen of the legation.
Kailar naturally saw the scene of the dusty "city defense army" entering the city.
At first, Kiral thought it was just a group of city defenders coming out on tour, until he saw the man in white armor. Only then was it confirmed that Baikal's guess was correct, and that Prince Lunn had indeed arrived.
It's just that Kailar is a little strange, this team of people entered the city in a flash, and it seems a little unreasonable to be so swaggering. He looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock, and it seemed that he couldn't wait for the bone today.
Jumped off the car, patted the dust on his body, pushed the cart, hummed a strange tune, and walked into the distance.
Not too far from the back street of the legation, Khalal pushed the cart into a nondescript dilapidated courtyard. I parked the car in the mud courtyard without green bricks, wiped the sweat on my head with my sleeve, and pushed the door open with a creak.
Baikal greeted him, and when he saw Kailar enter, he closed the door with his hand, and his eyes were slightly disappointed.
"I'll just say, with their speed, they may not have arrived in Verbo City today, how can they come here so quickly. ”
Kiral understood Baikal's anxiety and did not know how to answer.
To be honest, although he trusts Chi Gu, he can't convince himself either. Unless he came over with a flying demonic beast, but flying demonic beasts were already scarce, and he also knew that there were no bones.
Seeing Baikal's slightly anxious appearance, Kailar had no choice but to say: "I just saw your Royal Highness the prince enter the city, and it was with great fanfare. ”
Baikal was pleasantly surprised: "Your Highness has indeed arrived, great!"
Baikal paced back and forth excitedly a few times, and then continued: "I think His Highness entered the city with great fanfare, obviously as we thought, and wanted to go to the legation to find out the truth. In the name of the prince's son, even the great priest would not dare to turn His Highness away. ”
"And what are you going to do?" asked Kiral.
Baikal said without hesitation: "Of course, go and meet with His Highness, and tell His Highness the news we have got." "Ranwen
Seeing that Kairal was silent, Baikal couldn't help but ask: "Do you think there is anything wrong?"
Khalal groaned, shook his head slightly, and said, "Let's go our separate ways." Go to Prince Lunn and tell him what we've got. If he has any plans there that he needs us, you can come back and tell me.
I'm afraid there will be spies around you, but to be on the safe side, I'd better not show up near where the prince lives. ”
In fact, Kailar just instinctively didn't trust other humans, and of course, he wasn't wrong about what he said about Baikal.
Baikal didn't think much about it, nodded, and the two discussed the specific details and the timing of the joint, just waiting for it to get dark, and Baikal would leave.
......
As night fell, the laborers, tired from a long day's work, dragged their tired bodies home, and the merchants were ready to relax. This day's work is not the end, and tomorrow there will be an even more difficult and long journey waiting for them. They can only experience the wonderful taste of counting money in advance in their dreams.
However, the hustle and bustle of the whole day did not bring tranquility to the city of Tamuya. Just like any other port city, the city centre is still brightly lit.
The drinkers, the profiteers who peddle rare goods, are clearly not like the busy and tired people of today.
Just like the desert people are not keen on the delicate and elegant art of the Eastern Continent, they do not want to see the mellow and light fruit wine.
They prefer the spicy-throated spirits that the Orion upper-class people don't bother to talk about. I also enjoy waving the banknotes in my hand in the gladiatorial arenas, looking at the blood-spattered paintings with a hideous and excited face. It seems that this kind of life can satisfy their empty and tired hearts.
The legation is often home to the great figures of the Kingdom of God, so it is natural to choose a quieter neighborhood to settle down, and the magic street lamps around it are also a little dim.
The place where Prince Lunn lived was not difficult to find, and it seemed that in order to save some trouble, the palace guards wearing the standard armor of the city defense army stood outside the main gate like this.
The guards straddle the long sword at their waists, and their bodies are tall, worthy of being the guards of the Prince's Palace, all of them are majestic and brave.
When the guard was far away, he saw a man emerge from the darkness and walk towards him. Under the dim street lamp, the man wore a wide cloak that covered his face.
The guards frowned, their eagle-like eyes staring at the comer, and the wrist holding the long sword at their waist was slightly raised, revealing a half-foot silver sharp blade.
The power of the guards gradually rose, and the faint light of fighting spirit appeared and disappeared on the armor. If ordinary people see this situation, they naturally know that this is a reminder to themselves not to approach again.
The visitor seemed to feel the "reminder" of the guards, and stopped in a witty way, but at this time he was already standing under the bright light hanging high in front of the main entrance.
"Who are you?" asked one of the guards coldly and warily. From the moment this man appeared, he didn't believe that he was just passing by.
The man stretched out a hand from under his cloak, and slowly stepped back from the wide hood of his head under the watchful gaze of the guards, revealing a pair of red eyes and a young face full of excitement.
"Laika, it's me, I want to see Your Highness. ”
The two guards were suddenly shocked, and their eyes were full of incredulity.
After the briefing, Baikal was taken in, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Prince Lunn standing at the entrance of the main house, which he had been waiting for day and night.
Prince Lunn's slightly agitated face was full of excitement and puzzlement, and he held back. It wasn't until Baikal entered the house that he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart and asked, "Baikal, you are still alive!
Baikal was already in tears with excitement, he fell to one knee tremblingly, and said in a voice mixed with grief and self-reproach: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, Your Highness the princess was taken captive by the desert people......"
In this way, Baikal kept kneeling on one knee and told Prince Lunn everything that happened to him along the way.
In the end, he never dared to raise his head again. Self-blame, worry about Her Royal Highness the princess, made his heart twitch uncontrollably.
Lunn clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. He trembled and gasped until Baikal finished speaking, and did not calm the anger in his heart.
He looked at Baikal, who was on one knee and buried his head deep in his chest. Lunn knew that it wasn't his fault, he knew his sister, not to mention just a guard, even himself, it would be difficult for Shadore to give up her unrealistic adventure ideas.
Lunn controlled his emotions and calmed down, he knew that everyone was waiting for him to speak, and now was not the time to blame anyone.
"Get up, it's not all your fault. So, the ranger named Kailar has already figured out where Shadol is trapped?" Lunn himself helped Baikal up.
Kailar did not hide his name, but he did not tell Baikal the name of the skull or the "giant beast".
I don't know how many of these common names are in Verbo City. Moreover, his former status in Verbo City was only a brotherhood leader who had just become famous.
This kind of unsightly identity will not leave too many marks on him in that imperial city, so not many people know him. Coupled with the fact that he had made some camouflage on his face, there was nothing to worry about.
