Chapter 126: The Adventure of Sakura Lane
Haiyun flowed down the banks of the Bana River, and she did not rest, sometimes briskly, sometimes slowly. The night of the celestial dome disappeared into a black curtain, and the stars and the moon descended from the eastern hills. The morning glow illuminates the golden wheat fields glowing with blue light, and countless wheat mangs float in the air like dandelions releasing countless smiling dust.
Since Haiyun used the lightning technique to come all the way last night, what seemed to be only three hours of travel was already hundreds of kilometers. Haiyun walked for two days before he saw the walls of Karn, and it was already noon on the third day.
"Look, it's a stranger!" Haiyun's fair skin stood out in the midday sun, and a small town of Karn had never been so pretty.
"A beautiful young lady, but she doesn't look like someone from Karn-"
These knights, though not in the midst of a terrible war, were well-trained, and when they watched the citizens of Karn come and go, they were not familiar with each of them, but they had an impression of every face, so that when no one like Haiyun appeared, they immediately discovered her identity as a stranger.
The attention of the knights neatly arranged on the city wall was attracted by the beautiful sea clouds under the city wall, and they cast loving glances one after another.
At this moment, a tall knight walked directly above the city gate, and seemed to be the chief of these knights, for his armor was shinier than all the others, reflecting bright light in the sun, and behind him he was draped in a red robe with a red tassel on the top of his helmet. From his piercing gaze, it could be seen that this man was different from ordinary soldiers.
The chief knight looked at Haiyun, who was dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt and a red and black plaid skirt, and did not let down his guard because of her beautiful appearance, but asked her as usual: "Miss, where are you from? Did you come to this world from Noah's wheat field?"
Haiyun was not surprised, these soldiers were not the same people as the soldiers on the city wall when he entered Karn the other day, and besides, he had followed the peasants into the city in the night, so it was normal not to see himself clearly.
"I am the sea clouds, the sea of the sea, the clouds of the clouds. It's a stranger passing through, from the other side of Noah's wheat field, who might spend some time in Karn-"
"Can you promise that you won't do anything harmful to Karn?"
"If you don't trust me, give me a reason to hurt the town of Karn. ”
"In that case, please come in~~"
The knight lowered the drawbridge over the moat on the orders of the chief knight, and the heavy wooden gate fell to the ground and became dusty.
"Thank you, Your Excellency. Haiyun was surprised to pass through the gates of Karn.
Just like the night before, the knights in silver armor along the way put their hands on their chests and saluted Haiyun, and it was obvious that the stranger had a high status in their minds.
The chief knight stood on the city wall and watched Haiyun leave, beckoning goodbye.
"What a strange person. Haiyun smiled, "As the chief knight of Karn Town, how easily he believes what others say, what if he is an enemy?"
One of the young knights next to the chief asked the same question.
As the elder knight captain waved his hand, Yun said lightly: "The enemy's eyes will not be as clear as that girl, it only takes one glance for me to see that she is not hostile-"
The young knight looked at Haiyun's distant shadow and muttered, "Sir, even if she is not an enemy, as a stranger, what is her motive for coming to Karn?"
"Motive, young man, it's our duty to guard the walls of Karn, and nothing else is for us to think about. The knight turned and returned to his post, and the young knight followed in the knight's footsteps back to his place.
Haiyun's arrival succeeded in attracting the attention of the people in the city, and when they passed her, whether it was an old man or a child, a man or a woman, they would look back at her more. In the tiny town of Karn, the inhabitants had never seen such a beautiful girl. Children present her with red flowers, men take off their hats and salute, and women wave white handkerchiefs to her. Haiyun never thought that he would have such treatment, and only his sister Princess Weiwei would have such a scene in Haiguo.
Kahn is a small town, with square streets crisscrossed in a regular manner, with a small square in the center of which a statue of white jade is placed and a circular fountain surrounds the statue. A child with a balloon in his hand held his mother's coat and mumbled a meaty mouth, and several hunters dressed as cowboys gathered to talk about this morning's harvest. The bald master of the blacksmith worked hard to forge weapons, and the boy sold these sharp swords, which he claimed to be a weapon that could slay dragons. The blonde girl in the flower shop reads a book, and her handsome fiancé patiently arranges flowers on the side. A steaming mist emanates from the noodle shop and hangs over the satisfied faces of diners. Dressed in a black gown, the gentleman rode through the center of the square on horseback, and when he met a beautiful lady, he would take off his hat and salute. The old woman carried a basket of eggs and sat on a chair and fed the white doves that fell from the sky with breadcrumbs in her hands.
Walking through the stone-paved path, on which there were still traces of horses' hooves passing, the clouds turned into a street under the gaze of the crowd in the smoke of cooking. Beautiful petals floated from the depths of the street and fell to the feet of Haiyun, as if to call her forward.
Picking up the scattered petals on the ground, the breeze blew the long ice-blue hair, and the red lantern under the eaves was still on, presumably because the family forgot to extinguish the lantern.
"It's cherry blossoms!" caressing the tiny lines on the petals, like the color of falling snow covering the entire alley. Cherry blossoms, Haiyun has never seen them with his own eyes, and only occasionally they are seen in the royal library of Haiguo.
The sudden scent of flowers drew her deeper into the alley, and when she turned the street again, she was greeted by a long cherry blossom promenade. The green mud is covered with thick stone slabs, and the two-person tall cherry blossom trees are neatly lined up on both sides, and the ground is covered with white cherry blossom petals, like heavy snow falling. Haiyun walked in the cherry blossom alley, looking up at the sky, as if standing in the sea of flowers, waves after waves hit him.
At the end of Sakura Alley, there is a gate painted with red paint with two big words written on it: Inn. Thinking of what Bernard had said in Noah's wheat field the other day, Haiyun thought he might have to stay here for a while. Wouldn't it be better if you could live in such a picturesque world?
Haiyun knocked lightly on the wooden door, but no one answered. The whole inn was silent, and everyone seemed to be sleeping.
"It's already after noon, and even if you sleep in, you should wake up. Haiyun frowned, and just as he turned to leave, the vermilion door slowly opened, and a strong force rushed towards Haiyun.
"Is it the enemy?" Haiyun vigilantly opened his veins in case something unexpected.
But she seemed to be overly concerned, and what was coming to her was not a spiritual attack or a magic circle, but a wave of cherry blossoms.
Aside from these charming cherry blossoms, a fragrance came to my face, and I don't know when there was a woman with a white fox mask in front of Haiyun.
"Are you ——?" Haiyun looked at the woman, dressed in a bright red robe, tall, with slender thighs hidden in the red robe, white and blood-colored skin like cherry blossoms looked particularly attractive, long black hair draped over her shoulders, and a light yellow belt tied around her waist. The figure is very bewitching, and every gesture is full of a mysterious temptation. If a man sees it, I'm afraid they will bow down under her skirt, and even a woman will be as stunned as Haiyun.
"Guest, are you here to stay at the hotel?" asked the woman as if she were shy to cover her mask with a small round fan from behind her, "We have the most beautiful cherry blossoms in Karn Town, and the quietest corner of the world in Cherry Blossom Alley—"
When Haiyun came back to her senses, the woman had already turned into cherry blossoms and floated behind her. For some reason, she didn't even notice the woman's aura, which was as erratic as a ghost.
"What a cute little sister~~" The woman gently patted Haiyun's fair shoulder and sighed: "Such a beautiful you are just right for our inn, live here, beauty will always be with you." ”
Haiyun turned his head and inadvertently bumped into the woman's white fox mask, and almost instantly, Haiyun's heart melted, and his white cheeks were as red as a ripe apple.
"What are you afraid of? I won't eat you again—" The woman reached out and gently touched the tip of Haiyun's nose, and smiled weakly, "I don't look like a human in your eyes, do I?
"You're really not human?" Haiyun was a little disappointed.
"What does it matter if it's a human or a demon? I'm just a spirit made of cherry blossoms, and I'm here to ask if you live in a hotel. ”
"Cherry blossoms?" Haiyun looked around, there were indeed a lot of cherry blossoms, "Are you made of cherry blossoms?"
"Otherwise, do you think there is such a beauty in the world?" the woman turned under the cherry blossoms, and her red robe bloomed in the air like petals.
At this moment, time seems to stop and space freezes. Haiyun has seen a ** divine beauty like her sister Hai Weiwei, and she has also seen a peerless beauty like Bernard like the Ice and Snow God Mountain, but the woman in front of her is more like a sin, and she is more beautiful than she imagined.
"It's not easy to find people in Sakura Lane, and it's a fate that you and I can meet here. Just like the cherry blossoms in the sky, they fall in the wind and turn into dust, why not cherish them?" the woman muttered, the blood-like vermilion robe stained with the falling cherry blossoms, and the fragrance of the flowers came from her.
Haiyun adjusted his emotions, remembering what Bernard and Yatina had said, when the second layer of the Phantom Thunder Tower had not yet appeared, all he needed to do was wait. I still have two tips from Yatina on my body, and I won't open them until I have to.
Walking into this cherry blossom alley, it is not so much a coincidence as it is deliberately arranged. The bewitching beauty with the mask of the white fox in front of her always has a strange sense of evil, and I don't know how to touch the heartstrings of the peerless beauty under that mysterious mask. In addition to the face under the mask of the white fox, Haiyun was even more puzzled by the inn not far away. No matter how much you use your spiritual power to probe, there is no life, and it is as silent as stagnant water.
After a brief silence, the woman spoke.
"Have you thought about it, and if you're up to it, follow in the footsteps of the cherry blossoms into the inn. If you want to leave, turn around and leave—"
