Chapter Eighty-Two: Merry Town
When Chailly's carriage entered the town of Merry, the sky was already full of dark clouds.
The town of Merry is the northernmost town in the human kingdom of Merlin, and the kingdom has sent many garrisons here to guard against the bordering orc kingdom and forbid the kingdom's people to continue north. This is the only way for the human kingdom to enter the frozen forest, and the border guards have to pay a lot of tribute and taxes, and the mercenaries would rather run to the city of chaos.
Further north, there are only cold storms and snowstorms that freeze to death, endless reckless forests, and demonic beasts that may riot at any time. The kingdom's troops stationed here, known as the Blizzard Legion, set up checkpoints along the southern border of the Frozen Forest.
The reason why this place is a relatively prosperous town is because it is a place where humans and elves trade, and the elves who retreat to the frozen forest also need certain supplies produced by humans.
The biggest factor is that the town of Merry is close to the Orc Kate (Cat) clan, as a close relative of the lion and tiger clans, but the cats are out of the control of the royal family, they are a subordinate race of the fox clan, and they are placed on the border of the orc kingdom.
The Cat Clan is a skilled and agile family, rich in Cat Assassins, but the most famous is Catwoman! Catwoman is known to be on par with the beauties of the fox clan, fox women are known for their seductive seduction, and when they become adults, their bodies can produce a unique fragrance that makes men want to stop.
Catwoman has a figure and face that is not inferior to that of a fox girl, and has a pair of the most spiritual eyes, and their pitiful eyes are their greatest weapon, and men can't wait to hold them in their hands and cherish them.
Because women are much better among the fox and cat tribes, the males of both races have a low status and play almost exclusively the role of breeder and coolie.
The cat clan is a subsidiary race and is destined not to be rich, so some cat clan civilians will sell the girl to the Anthropocene realm, because a cat woman is auctioned at the price of the royal capital. It's been fried to 3,000 gold coins! For the poor, it is simply a great wealth.
Meili Town as the origin, there are several catwomen traded in the market here every day, although the price is much less than that of the royal capital, don't underestimate these catwomen, brought. It is the prosperity of the whole town of Meri. Because almost all of the nobles who came to Meili Town came for beauty. So the service industry in Meili Town is extremely developed.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Meili Town, there is a kiln every five steps, so Meili Town is known as "** Town".
"Mondo, do you like fox girls a little more, or cat girls?"
Chailly teased Mondo, the carriage she was riding in was luxurious. There are six healthy horses in total, and the carriage is spacious and comfortable, with a soft bed, equipped with silk cotton wool quilts, and the body structure also has shock-absorbing skills, and there are no bumps in the car at all. There is also a small cabinet at the head of the bed. There are some pastries and a variety of liquors on display.
Along the way, Xia Yi sighed again and again: "Such a suitable environment for car shock!" It's a waste, a waste......"
Mondo prefers spirits, so soft drinks such as red and white wine in the cabinet are barely running.
The goblin slaves were placed in another identical carriage, which had been almost destroyed by them, and the carriage was in shambles, and Shay never went to the carriage except to stop for food. Everywhere the goblins went, it was a mess and a foul smell!
The good thing was that the goblins were short, and the carriage, although a little cramped, could hold more than two dozen goblins.
The path discussed by the three of them was to leave the human realm from Merry Town, pass through the frozen forest, and reach the barbarian land in the northeast. The town of Meili enters the Frozen Forest, and to the northwest is Lake Otsuki, the end of the Frozen Forest.
Winter in the north is not as docile as in the royal capital. Xia Yi was a native of Jiangnan in his previous life, with a typical figure of a southerner, and he was also afraid of the cold. When she entered the province of Merlin, she felt the bitter cold of the north.
The cold wind in the north is made of knives, although it is cloudy, but there is a thick layer of snow on the road, Xia Yi has no flesh and blood, but it is not very comfortable in the cold wind, the carriage is closed with wooden window lattices, but it is not warm at all, her cold is just for the occasion, how can the undead be afraid of the cold?
Well, there's another reason to rub the oil.
The bed in the carriage is not big, but there are three people lying side by side, Mondo needs to sleep, Xia Yi is used to resting at night, and the zombie king is to learn how to sleep as a human, for him, lying still for a night is as painful as the acolyte's penance, but he is not at ease with his dear sleeping with a hot-blooded little orc.
So Xia Yi is in the center, with Mondo on the left hand and Hyunkyu on the right. The Zombie King appears to be a muscular man, but his muscles are as cold and hard as iron, and most of the time, he is kicked away by Shailee at night, holding Mondo's arm for warmth, and the warmth of the stove is never as warm as body temperature.
So during the trip, Mondo was not less rubbed with oil, sometimes someone's leg was on his body, woke up and did not dare to move, that leg slowly rose up, rubbed into some forbidden places, Mondo was short of breath, his whole body was hot, his body was stiff, Mondo was touched for the first time, the itchy numbness made him torture and enjoy......
The sequelae is that when he wakes up the next day, Mondo will secretly change out a piece of milky white and damp pants under the pretext of going to the toilet, and for several days his eyes will be broken, his hair will be messy, and he will look like he has been tortured.
"Mondo, you answer me, the fox girl makes you feel excited, or is the cat girl good-looking?" Xia Yi looked at Mondo narrowly, "You are a royal family, are you a girl from no subordinate race to marry you?" Oh! I know, you like Caroline's big five and three rough types! Mondo, you're a hardcore! ”
"Nothing! Shay, you're talking nonsense! Mondo was so anxious that his tail straightened, and his face fluttered as red as pink.
The carriage had a smooth journey, and despite the heavy snow blocking the road, the horse's ass, after nailing the non-slip soles of their feet, ran fast in the snow, and before Xia Yi had enough of molesting Mondo, he had already reached the town of Merry.
The checkpoints in Merry Town are made of earth!
There are no boulders here, and on the warmest afternoon in summer, you can use slightly soft clay and pour water, and a cold wind at night can freeze into a solid earthen wall! The ground in the north is harder than rock!
The coachman blew a whistle and the carriage stopped in front of the checkpoint.
The frozen soil wall was guarded by more than 100 soldiers, and the guards stopped the wagons for routine inspections into the town. There are some mercenaries in Meili Town all the year round, who enter the frozen forest from this place, and there are also mages who directly buy magic cores here, and the most are nobles, even if they can't afford to buy expensive Catwoman, they have to experience the customs of the "** Town".
But the three young people in front of him were obviously not among them.
Judging from the luxurious carriage, the guards guessed what kind of big man it was, a pair of Terran men and women, the man had a straight face, the woman was short, and the other was an orc, there were not many orcs in the human realm, which made the guards more vigilant.
The three of Xia Yi were all wearing animal skin robes, and Xuan Kui was also forced to "order" to wear what Xuan Kui called a "burden".
"Gentlemen, I have here an official document from the mercenary union to prove our identity." Xia Yi unhurriedly took out the registration documents of the mercenary union from his bosom and handed them to the guards.
A few guards gathered together, pointing to the official document and discussing, mercenaries? Or a trio mercenary? This is really suspicious!
"Sorry, miss, we may need some time to check, or you can show something else, otherwise, you can't get the privilege of entering Merry Town." The guards said very politely that they had received many big people, so no matter what, they should not offend people easily.
This made Xia Yi a little embarrassed, and although the guards were suspicious of the checkpoints along the way, they still let them go, but they didn't expect the inventory in Meili Town to be stricter.
The guards still recognize their attitude, many nobles will not stop the carriage here at all, and rampage into Merry Town, those mages are even more exaggerated, they are all guys with eyes above the top, a whirlwind flies by, the guards can't even touch the shadow, these are all conventions.
Xia Yi thought for a moment and took out the badge given by Brent, the half-barbarian, from the Void Ring.
"Oh! This is the Captain Badge of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment! ”
The guards exclaimed, the reputation of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group is known throughout the continent, and there is now a detachment of the Snow Wolf in Meili Town! However, how could the No. 1 mercenary regiment in the mainland favor a young man who was almost not a mercenary with three people? Either they are the children of a large family, or this badge is a forgery!
One of the guards checking the carriage also came back to report that there were two dozen goblins on the other carriage!
"Miss, why are you bringing a bunch of goblins on the road? What is the purpose of entering the town of Merry? Please tell us the truth, this is our duty. "The unusual signs made the guards even more suspicious.
"Travel, you know, although the royal capital is prosperous, but parents want us to add some experience." Xia Yi simply pretended to be a nobleman, and sure enough, when the guards heard the royal capital, they were probably sure that their guess was true.
"But...... Goblins are not allowed to pass here, because neither the orc kingdom nor the human kingdom belong to citizens, and their identities are not protected. ”
There were some disagreements among the guards, some said that they would let go, and some frowned and hesitated.
"What about this?"
The Zombie King said suddenly, a yellowed piece of parchment in his hand, which looked to be some years old.
When they received it, the guards' eyes almost fell off! This is a special official document, a chartered official document of the Illumination Sect, which means that this person's status in the Illumination Sect is important, and it is valid for life! The question is......
The date of ratification was more than 100 years ago!
"Please...... Come in! The guards didn't know what to say, "Let it go!" ”
The guards gave way one after another, and they all stood solemnly, saluting, Xia Yi didn't know what the guards were suddenly so respectful, and they entered the town in a hurry.
The guards wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and after the carriage walked away, they all saw the horror in the eyes of the other party, and the signature on the official document was: "Augustine XV of the Human Kingdom and Pope of Light XIX." ”
There is nothing unusual about the Pope of Light, but Augustine XV, has been dead for more than ninety years!
ps:
A new journey has begun, and the queens can also read as travel books from other worlds, and there will be a lot of unique customs and historical charms.
