Compared with the two cities where trees were home, the city of Gulai is even more scattered. Each street is neatly arranged, as if in a square there are countless horizontal and vertical lines parallel to the border.

If nothing else, the market in Gulai City is not comparable to the market that I have seen before. In the past, the market was dominated by adventure essentials, but here it is not the case, and there are many magical magical items sold here.

Xia Bai had just spent less than a silver coin to buy a golden pocket watch, which had no special abilities, just a simple ability to read the time.

But this already made Xia Bai very happy, because there is almost no place in the other world where you can check the time at any time, except for the two bells in the city at noon and midnight, there is no way to know the time here.

On the earth, you can have nothing to do with meow and the habit of seeing what time it is in this world is simply painful, so when I saw this pocket watch, Xia Bai bought it without hesitation.

Of course, the magic items here are still mostly combat-oriented, swords that can breathe fire, whips that will get longer and longer when sucking blood, and potions that can quickly replenish physical strength, and the few people who look at them are also dizzying.

But even so, a few people only bought a few small souvenirs and that's it. The reason is that a lot of things can't be used by a few people at all, and they can only be used as a souvenir when they buy them.

Second, it is naturally because a few people can really be regarded as penniless, and all the old bottoms are not counted as beasts, and what they didn't have time to take out in the attack of the siege is about two gold coins.

Xia Bai took the three of them to get over the addiction, and then went straight to the tavern in the city, in fact, Xia Bai was also curious about why people like to run to the tavern when they go to the other world.

It wasn't until I realized this problem that I felt the crux of the problem, that is, there are not as many cheap snack shops and restaurants on Earth as there are in the Otherworld, and cheap, complete and delicious things are basically concentrated in this universal place.

Pushing open the door of the tavern, a noisy atmosphere hits the face, which contrasts sharply with the passers-by who look hurried by on the street.

"Huh? Isn't this the Xia Bai brothers? A loud voice rang in the ears of Xia Bai, who was frantically moving in the crowd, and Xia Bai turned around and saw a rough face.

It was Johnson's big man, he was drinking red at the moment, and Xia Bai, who wanted to say hello and leave when he saw someone he knew, stayed around their mercenary group under the crazy invitation of the bearded man.

Everyone sat down interspersedly, but Bai Xiang still got up and left, she didn't like this environment and she was going to collect intelligence in a new city, so she left first.

"Hiccup, Brother Xia Bai, I know where you can escape from, come and have a drink." Johnson burped, and then he had to toast Xia Bai with his glass.

Xia Bai, who had no choice but to raise his head and drain the mead in the cup, was also fortunate because the wine of the other world was not as strong as the wine of the earth, otherwise this large cup would probably lie down.

"It was thanks to the help of Arash and another friend that they were able to escape from there, otherwise they probably wouldn't have escaped." After drinking this glass of wine, Xia Baicai explained with a long sigh.

"What about you?" Xia Bai shook his head after being poured another large glass, and asked Johnson beside him, the paralyzing effect of alcohol has begun to work, and Xia Bai also felt slightly dizzy.

"We," Johnson said, with a worried expression, "there just happened to be a task to escort a shipment to this Gulai City, so that I would not be the food of the beasts now." ”

"But it's okay," Johnson took a sip and stabilized his mood, "This kind of estimation is because individual beast spirit kings are dissatisfied, and the beast tide has been launched before, and it will recede by itself after a while." ”

"It shouldn't be this time" Speaking of this, Xia Bai remembered what Nataya had said before, "This beast tide will not recede, it will keep attacking human cities because someone has torn up the contract." ”

"Broke the contract?" Johnson had already raised the wine glass in his hand, and he stopped it, "Is it a contract between the Founding Three Princes and the Beast Spirit Kings?" After getting Xia Bai's affirmative answer, the wine glass fell straight from Johnson's hand.

"Accurate message?" Johnson asked again calmly, and after seeing that Xia Bai was still nodding, he let out a miserable scream and lay on the table in pain.

"Xia Bai, do you know the history of this country?" After the table stabilized for a while, Johnson regained his strength and set his eyes on Xia Bai.

After Xia Bai said what he knew, Johnson shook his head and patiently told him: "The northern land used to be inhabited by countless tribes, and it is not the unified state it is now.

It wasn't until the beast tide hundreds of years ago suddenly descended that the tribes that were originally hunting near the sea somehow angered the immortal beast spirits resting in the sea, and when five of the nine beast spirits descended on this northern land, it was the beginning of real suffering. ”

"How strong is the Beast Spirit King? Five can create such a catastrophe? Xia Bai felt inexplicably unbelievable when he heard Johnson's words, he had also seen the battle between the fire ghosts and the black-armored knights in the past few days.

He felt that although it was not the current peak strength of the human race, it was strong enough, at least if the beast tide attacked with a sea of people tactically, it should be able to resist it.

"That's the key to whether I just asked you about history," Johnson sighed with emotion, took Xia Bai's words and continued to explain, "The reason why the Beast Spirit King is feared by humans is because of their characteristics.

Each beast spirit controls an element, they are the embodiment of the element, and human magic can hardly do them a trace of harm, just as a hundred ants cannot defeat an elephant, and that power is a difference in rank. ”

Xia Bai was secretly taken aback when he heard this, if he couldn't hurt the other party with magic, but the other party could use it wantonly, the gap caused by it was indeed not ordinary.

Johnson here is still recounting, "Until the end, the humans failed to defeat the beast spirits, and it was the three archdukes who killed themselves and persuaded them to enter the meeting place of the nine beast spirits, and the war was spared, which is also the history of the establishment of the Federation." ”

"Isn't that also the Grand Dukes using their strength to prove that they have the right to talk?" When Xia Bai heard this, he was still puzzled by Johnson's fear, "It's just a repetition of history, don't despair." ”

"The most widely circulated article in the contract is called," Johnson raised his head to look into Xia Bai's eyes as he spoke, "If the people of the Northland violate this covenant, the nine kings will attack them together." ”
