Chapter 9: Helin City
The Heavenly Spirit Continent is vast and vast, divided into five regions: southeast, northwest, and middle. Not to mention the entire continent, just one of the domains that ordinary people cannot cross in their lifetime. In such a vast land, there are naturally countless national cities.
As the name suggests, the Northern Lands are located in the northern part of the continent. There are more than 10,000 large and small countries, and each country has hundreds or thousands of cities. Xiling City is one of these countless cities.
Today, as always, there was a team of guards standing at the gate of Xiling City. Each guard is covered with standard armor, and the luster is a little dull, and the quality is obviously very average. But even so, it still attracted countless envious eyes.
Not far outside the city is a forest with countless wild beasts. The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, there are naturally many hunters in the city. But most of them can only afford to wear armor that protects their upper bodies, the kind of armor that protects people from head to toe, and even some veteran hunters can't afford to buy them.
Hunting can be life-threatening at any time. In times of crisis, the gap in equipment can be the difference between life and death!
Under the six-meter-high city gate, there is an endless stream of people coming and going at this time. Or Orions going out and returning, or caravans traveling around. This kind of flow of people shows that this Xiling City is a very prosperous city.
If you are a resident of the city, you will show a sign and the guards will let you go. However, if it is an outsider or caravan, a certain fee will be charged to enter the city.
"Huh, little ghost, wait a minute, where's the sign?"
A young man with two firewood knives on his back was about to pass through the city gate directly, but was immediately spotted by a guard. The cold iron spear was directly in front of the young man, stopping him.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and wondered, "What brand?"
The guard looked the young man up and down and said, "Look at your appearance, it seems to be a fresh face, from out of town, right?"
The boy thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sort of." ”
"Since you are from other places, you have to pay the entrance fee, otherwise you will not be allowed to go. ”
"Huh, do you have to pay to go into the city?"
"The inhabitants of the city had to pay taxes every year in order to have the right to live and enter the city. If you don't pay the money, why did you set foot in Xiling City?"
"It seems to be the truth~ but... I don't have any money. ”
"Then I'm sorry, I can't let you in. The guard said ruthlessly.
"That... Can't you be accommodating?"
"No, rules are rules. If I don't leave, I'm going to chase people out. As he spoke, the guard lifted his spear and pointed it at the young man, "You are from Shuling City, so the child should hurry home and don't run outside." ”
Shuling City is the closest city to Xiling City in this vicinity, and the distance between them is only four or five miles. This distance is not unusual for even a teenager to walk on foot.
If it were an ordinary teenager, being pointed at like this by the sharp tip of the gun, I am afraid that he would have been frightened a long time ago. But the young man's face remained unchanged, and he didn't seem to pay attention to this spear that could pierce ordinary armor at all.
"Huh~ Guard brother, don't be so rigid. Wouldn't it be nice if I went into the city to make some money and then came back to you?"
"No, rules are rules. If you don't leave, I'm going to do it. I don't want to do anything to the kid, so get home. ”
"Oh, can't you be accommodating for a while?"
Behind the teenager was a caravan. Seeing that the young man had been stuck in front for a long time, a Humpty Dumpty man got out of the carriage and scolded impatiently: "Hey! Boy, you can't leave! If you don't have any money, get out, we have business to discuss, but we are in a hurry! If we delay and sell you, I can't afford to pay for it!"
As he spoke, a tall caravan guard walked up and looked at the young man with a fierce look. Obviously, if he is not honest, he will reason with his fists.
"Why don't you lend me some? Don't worry, I'll definitely pay you back when I make money." ”
"Lend you a head, throw him out for me!" Humpty Dumpty ordered the guards beside him.
As soon as he heard the employer's order, the guard did not hesitate, and grabbed the young man directly with a large hand. The teenager is about 1.8 meters tall, which is already very tall among his peers. But this guard was two meters tall, a head taller than him! And this guard was full of large muscles all over his body, compared to which the boy looked like a weak little white rabbit, which could only be slaughtered by others.
Onlookers seem to be able to see the boy being captured and thrown out.
"Look at the iron sign on the waist of that big man, that's the sign of a professional hunter! You can actually ask a professional hunter to be a guard, what is the origin of these people?"
"I'm afraid it's some kind of big chamber of commerce. A professional hunter who can easily slash a black bear with even the weakest Black Iron level. That kid is going to be out of luck!"
The thick palms were getting closer and closer to the boy, and everything was going as expected. But just before the palm of his hand touched the boy's shoulder and grabbed him, the boy moved. His hand rested on the thick wrist. The difference between the two is as funny as using a bean sprout as a wooden stick that swings at you.
But that's when something strange happened. The big man's movements actually stopped suddenly! His wrist was actually held by the bandaged hand! The tremendous force coming from his wrist was so strong that no matter how hard the big man tried, he couldn't move half a minute! It was as if his own strength had been sucked into a bottomless black hole!
How, how come?
"If you don't borrow, you won't borrow, why do it?"
The strength of the young man's hand became stronger and stronger, and there were bursts of sharp pain in his wrist, and even a strange sound came out! The pain made the big man shout: "Stop, stop! The young man's men are merciful!"
The young man snorted coldly, and with a slam of his arm, he actually lifted the big man's body from the ground, and even threw him directly at the hateful-looking Humpty Dumpty!
"Hey, don't come here!"
Humpty Dumpty screamed and ran backwards, but he was still crushed to the ground by the big man's huge body, unable to move.
"Ahh
The big man got up from the ground in embarrassment, his left hand clenched his trembling right wrist, and looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief. He had realized that this man was stronger than himself, and not a little stronger! How could such a young boy have such strength?
Everyone present was also shocked by the power of this throw, and many of them opened their mouths in surprise. This script is wrong! A young man who looks a little immature can burst out with such great power! That is a professional hunter who can fight beasts in hand-to-hand combat! He was thrown out without any power to fight back!
"Ahh
But no one stepped forward. The strength that this young man showed before can be described as unfathomable, and none of the people present are stupid, and no one wants to be the first to be wronged and be beaten.
"Oh yes, what are you afraid of, what did I pay you for, a bunch of shit!" Humpty Dumpty yelled angrily.
"Alright, come back, shame on me. In the carriage behind, a woman's voice came out. This voice is very mature and full of charm, and just listening to it makes people's hearts a little restless. This made people look at the carriage and want to see the real face. But the curtain of the carriage was closed, and naturally nothing could be seen.
Humpty Dumpty, who was extremely arrogant, seemed to wilt when he heard this voice, and replied "yes" before retreating. The identity of the owner of this voice is probably not ordinary.
"Doorman, we'll pay for this little guy's entrance to the city, let him go. The female voice continued.
Then a maid stepped forward, carrying a money bag in her hand, and handed it to the guard. After carefully counting and confirming that it was correct, the guard put away his spear and said, "Count your boy lucky, go over." ”
Although the strength displayed by this young man also startled the guard, his attitude still did not change much, and he was still so serious and serious. This is a very conscientious guard.
The boy looked at the carriage where the voice came from and thanked him, "Thank you, Auntie." In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely return it in full. ”
"What auntie, am I that old?" the voice in the carriage was a little dissatisfied.
"I can't see you, how do you know if you're old?" thought to the young man speechlessly, but he naturally wouldn't say such a dead word.
"Quick, call my sister, otherwise I won't help you pay the entrance fee to the city. ”
"Uh... ”
"Xiaoyu, go and get his share of the money back. ”
"Sister, farewell!" the boy hurriedly cried out.
"Hmm~ It's so nice, call it again. ”
"Sister~"
What a penny is hard to beat a hero!
Seeing that the domineering young man had been cleaned up by himself, the woman in the carriage couldn't help but laugh a few times. The laughter was like magic, and the men in the neighborhood couldn't help but lose their minds for a moment when they heard it!
The sound alone is already like this, so if this woman comes out, what will it be?
"Let's go. ”
"Yes!" The Humpty Dumpty man naturally hated the young man so much that he hated itchy, but he couldn't afford to mess with the woman in the carriage, so he had to swallow this evil breath.
"Don't let me meet again, boy, or I'll have to chop you into six or seven pieces!"
The woman in the car suddenly spoke again, "Oh, yes. Little brother, what's your name?"
"Moon white. The moon of the moon, the white of the day. ”
This boy is the moon white who has just come out of the forest!
"Moonwhite, good name. Sister, I have a hunch, we will meet again, and there will be a date later!"
