Chapter 219 Western Capital
Legend has it that the Western Capital is the true birthplace of mankind, but after thousands of years, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Ma Long doesn't pay attention to these issues, whether it's true or fake, it doesn't have much to do with him.
After paying the entrance fee, several people led their horses into the city.
The streets are bustling with people.
The western capital is not big, not to mention compared with the royal capital, but it is much inferior to Los Angeles.
But it also has its own characteristics, which is lively and welcoming.
Far from the center of the kingdom, the people are relatively simpler and the people are more welcoming.
Along the way, everything you see and hear, you can find that the life of the civilians here seems to be much better than outside.
Mills introduced to Ma Long: "Around the Western Capital, the land is fertile, the grain production is higher than that of the outside world, most of the lords of the past generations have no ambitions, and the taxes are low, and the civilians here are doing well. ”
Ma Long bowed slightly, it is true, the civilians he saw along the way had few dishes on their faces, not to mention their ruddy complexions, but most of them were healthy, which was completely different from the yellow muscles and thin faces seen by the outside world.
"In that case, why should you be an adventurer, isn't it good to live a comfortable life like this?" Marlon said.
"It's just so comfortable." Mills shook his head and replied: "Although the cookie-cutter life is comfortable, but after a long time, it is tireless, and I want to live a passionate life!" ”
He is also a rebellious young man!
"And now?" Malone asked.
"It's a good day now, and I like it." He thought for a while and replied: "When I was wandering around, I was tired of running and wanted to find a place to rest for a while, but I originally wanted to come back like this, but I was a little unwilling."
"At that time, I was in the Black Stone Collar, and I heard that you were recruiting soldiers, so I went to give it a try, but I didn't expect that several years would pass in a flash."
"Hehe, do you regret it?"
"No!" Mills shook his head and said in a firm tone: "In the Black Stone Territory, I have not only seen scenery that I couldn't see before, dwarves, barbarians, orcs, the Great Snow Mountain, and the Northern Frontier...... He also became a knight, which is an achievement that he never dared to think of before! ”
A few people talked, walking forward.
Until the City Lord's Mansion was already in sight.
Ma Long entered the city this time, only brought a few people, and the others were outside the city.
After all, it is an army, although the number is small, if you want to enter, it is impossible without the approval of the city lord.
Unless it's a hard break!
However, the other party is not an enemy, and Ma Long is not unreasonable, so naturally he will not do that.
So he asked Mills to bring him to the city lord's mansion and ask for people to be released into the city.
After a long journey, even if there are a group of knights, it is physically and mentally exhausted, and it needs to be repaired.
With the queen's warrant to open the way, Malone easily met the city lord.
This is a middle-aged man in his forties.
Unlike ordinary commoners who look undignified at the age of forty or fifty, this aristocratic life is good, and he is well maintained, and he lives naturally longer.
It looks young, too!
The lord of the city is named Siggins Congo...... There is a large list of back, and Malone thinks it is too long, so he directly calls Siggins.
It's still the name of a Chinese person in the previous life, generally two or three words, even if it is too many words, here, a person's full name can sometimes be shouted for a long time.
Especially the nobility!
He has not been used to it, and it is all simplified to shout.
The city lord of Siggins warmly entertained Ma Long and his party, and did not embarrass him for his request to bring people into the city, but actively made some suggestions for his task.
"You're here for a half-elf settlement?"
After asking people to release people with the certificate issued by the city lord, the two began to discuss.
"I can help with this, although the half-elf settlement is mysterious, but for some locals, there is also a general range, I happen to know one, I can introduce you as a guide."
Ma Long was pleasantly surprised, what he was most annoying was that he didn't know the destination, and he didn't know where to find a guide, but he didn't think that he would be solved as soon as he arrived in the Western Capital, so he sincerely said to the city lord: "Thank you!" ”
Although Mills and the others were from Western County, their status was too low after all, and they hadn't really been to all places, and they couldn't get in touch with secret news like this.
Waving his hand, Siggins said indifferently: "It's just a small thing, and you are also for the big things of the whole kingdom." Although I am far away and cannot personally lead troops to fight the orcs, it is still no problem to exert some strength. ”
With the help of the city lord, Ma Long repaired in the Western Capital for two days, which not only restored people's mental and physical strength, but also replenished the consumed materials.
It wasn't until two days later that the group set off from the West Gate and continued on the road.
The city lord of Siggins was reluctant to send everyone away, and sent everyone outside the city gate.
It wasn't until he couldn't see the traces of everyone that he turned back to the City Lord's Mansion.
After the western capital had been left behind by everyone, and even the city wall could not be seen, Shalazema came to his brother's side and said, "Brother, there are magic fluctuations in the city lord's mansion, and there are obviously wizards in it. ”
"What do you want to say?" Chitu's footsteps didn't stop, and Ma Longtou didn't ask back.
Seeing that Marlon didn't care, Sala pursed her lips in annoyance and said, "Will this pose a hidden danger to our safety?" Also, that city lord is too enthusiastic, we didn't have a relationship with him before, and the Black Stone Territory is too far away from here, and it is impossible to have any interests entangled, why would he do this?
"It's helping to write a letter of introduction, and it's helping to purchase supplies, what is he planning, and will there be any conspiracy?"
Sala looked puzzled and looked at Marlon. Wait for him to explain.
"Do you feel like he has bad intentions towards us?" Malone asked sideways.
"Nope!" Sara shook her head, she really didn't feel any malice on the other side, otherwise she wouldn't have endured to ask until now.
"That's not it!" Malone said: "Maybe he needs our help with something, and he has doubts, and he doesn't want to say it at this time; Or maybe he is planning something, our existence is a distraction, the other party is in a hurry to send us away, of course, there are too many possibilities, maybe the other party just wants to sell us a good one! ”
"But ......"
Sarah was clearly not reconciled, and she wanted to figure things out.
Ma Long comforted: "Don't think too much, since the other party doesn't show malice towards us, don't care, if you figure everything out, it's too tiring to live." ”
Seeing that Salad still turned his head frequently, looking in the direction of the Western Capital behind him, Ma Longlong continued: "People don't say it, naturally there is a reason that it is inconvenient for people to know, less exploration, less trouble, our own affairs are too busy to do, we really don't have the energy to take care of other people's affairs!" ”
"Okay!" After all, she is not thinking nonsense and restrains her spirit.
"If you have time to ponder your magic, strength is fundamental, no matter whether the other party has any conspiracy or not, you will eventually do it, and then everything will be known!"
"Hmm!"
