Chapter 177: City Lord's Mansion
"Ten thousand empty alleys" does not mean "because the city is deserted and there are no people", but at the beginning of a grand rally, people rush to watch the ceremony, resulting in the empty and cold scene of the alleys. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Hunter Race is the largest gathering in the entire Golden Feather City, so there is no one to see on the street outside of the arena three blocks away.
Feng Chen withdrew his gaze from the window of the carriage and kicked his feet back and forth on the floor of the carriage, diverting his attention to save himself from realizing the wounds on his body. Xiao Yang was bandaging him, the gauze was given by Ai Lu in the ring, and the two of them only stayed in the arena for ten minutes, which was only enough time for Xiao Yang to simply clean his wounds. The injury on Feng Chen's chest was not serious, only a few marks were scratched by the claws of the water beast, and it was not suppurated or infected, and it could be recovered in two days with the recovery power of a young man. Although it was just a flesh wound, it looked like it was blurry with flesh and blood, which made Xiao Yang grin when he bandaged it.
"Alas......" Xiao Yang sighed lightly while carefully wrapping the gauze.
On days like this, they should have been in the ring to watch other people's matches after all the players finished their own events. But after a few rounds, Xiong Fuji was injured and unconscious, Jia Xiao's strength did not recover, and the dust boy had such a thing for no reason, and Xiao Yang couldn't help but complain - these five teenagers were really a team of many disasters.
Xiao Yang wanted to move out of the name of Amphinis when the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were about to take away his companions, but he was stopped by Jia Xiao with his eyes. You may not be able to ask anything if you are interrogated by the Castle Lord's Mansion, but once the mysterious Elu Cat is brought up, the disguise that everyone has made for the competition will collapse completely. Even if the upper echelons of the union were really as the instructor said, someone would cover themselves and so on, but with so many spectators, instructors and hunters in front of them, once it spread, all the personnel of the Yuxi Valley training camp would be in big trouble.
Therefore, after some theory, Feng Chen and the others finally decided to follow the escort army. But Jia Xiao was unwell, and Xiong Fuji, who had been taken care of by the field doctor, always had to be taken care of, and in the end, only Xiao Yang accompanied him to the carriage of the guards.
The captain of the guard still stayed in the arena to check the members of the competition, and only assigned two guards to escort the teenagers to the City Lord's Mansion, which was actually just an escort. Xiao Yang pointed out that the inside of the car was narrow and it was quite inconvenient to bandage the wounds, so one of the two silent guards sat outside the car and served as the driver, and the other sat on the roof of the car to prevent the two from escaping, leaving a relatively private space for the two.
"Hmph, the dignified City Lord's Mansion is acting so domineering." Nie Xiaoyang tied the cloth head into a slipknot and helped Feng Chen put on the tattered hunting armor, "The sky and the earth are big, and the injured are big, so I don't even give time to tend to the wounds." ”
"Cheating in the game affects the wind direction of the entire Golden Feather City, and the City Lord's Mansion is also doing its duty." Every few years, the Hunter Guild would take a few teenagers from Xuelin Village to the Xishu Department, and in comparison, this kind of overbearing in detail could no longer move Feng Chen.
"So, you're really not cheating, are you?" Nie Xiaoyang asked uncertainly.
"No matter how many times you ask, I haven't." Feng Chen looked a little irritable, he didn't know what was going on with him, but the young man could at least confirm that he didn't have any intention of cheating subjectively, and no matter how he asked him after entering the City Lord's Mansion, he would only get such an answer.
"No weird props? Illegal drugs? Your messy trap tricks? Nie Xiaoyang was still suspicious, "Which of these things is against the hunter's code - I'm afraid you haven't read the hunter's code and accidentally used some forbidden method without knowing it, right?" ”
"Xiao Yang......" Feng Chen said helplessly, "What do you think I have been doing for the past ten days?" In that big basket of books, the first thing Instructor Anfei showed me was the Hunter Code, and now I know the rules and regulations better than any of you. ”
Nie Xiaoyang relieved himself at this time, but then he seemed to remember something: "Then on stage, how did you do it with the last hand?" ”
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Feng Chen's face was strange, "I don't know, maybe I begged them to stop, and they happened to understand." ”
"Just kidding!" Nie Xiaoyang lost his voice, and then glanced at the two guards outside vigilantly, and lowered his voice an octave, "You said that you can understand beast language, it is better to guess that the tomboy in the audience 'you used domineering to restrain the two monsters' is more reliable." Xiao Yang touched Feng Chen's forehead with his fingertips, "At this juncture, you are more credible than you are the descendant of the dragon people than you are to bring out these strange things." ”
Feng Chen shook his head, put on an expression of "believe it or not", and said no more, if he let Nie Xiaoyang hear that his true thoughts were the "God of Hunting Manifestation", he would roll his eyes at himself.
The carriage creaked to a stop, and the coachman's guard lifted the curtain in the back compartment, and the face under the helmet was expressionless: "This is your last chance, if there is any cheating in the field, you can deal with it lightly if you say it here, and you can't help yourself when you enter that mansion." ”
"I'm not cheating." Dust's lips were a little pale from the blood loss, but he still said firmly, "I swear in the name of the Hunter. ”
The guard's head tilted, and the face under the helmet showed a puzzled look.
"He meant to swear in the name of hunter glory, this guy is confused." Nie Xiaoyang snorted and shoved the dust, "Let's go, get out of the car." ”
Both teenagers had never been to the City Lord's Mansion, and at most they had only seen the huge crimson dome of the legendary mansion from a great distance. This vaulted dome is like a flag planted by the Kingdom of Scarlet in the Golden Feather City, and is a symbol of the city's allegiance to the kingdom.
From a closer distance, the canopy is even larger than expected, obscuring almost the entire view of the dust, and the enclosed red walls and dull black gates make the whole mansion look like a flaming beast with a black face, which makes people feel dull and oppressive.
After passing the two checkpoints at the entrance, the green vegetation and water flow gradually increased, and the huge front yard barely had some life. The guards led the two of them around the side road a few turns, and then stopped at the door of an unpretentious side house. The boys pushed the door open at the soldier's signal, and the door clicked shut from the outside.
"Hey! What does that mean? Nie Xiaoyang slammed the door, but the wooden door panel was stronger than expected, and the anti-shock force caused it to stagger two steps and fall to the ground.
"Just keep you from escaping, someone will take care of you two later." There was an explanation of the sound of urns outside.
"How long will it take?" Xiao Yang asked loudly.
However, there was the sound of footsteps at the door, and no one answered, so the boy found a chair and sat down, "I said it was not a good idea. ”
"This is the City Lord's Mansion,......" The dust boy didn't feel the slightest nervousness, he looked at the intricately carved and flashy furniture and wall decorations around him, and subconsciously smacked his lips, "That means, are we going to meet the City Lord?" (To be continued.) )
