To be honest, Niu Kelian is a person, except for the mouth of the person, everything else is fine, not only the food is delicious, but also easy-going, of course, he also has his own insistence on something, although such a temperament seems to me to be a strong temper.

In short, you can talk to him about anything, except for two points: first, you must not contradict his theory of 'food', and second, when you mention the Werner Chamber of Commerce, you must not mention black money, businessmen, etc.

Although the first impression of him was not very good...... Who made him look so dark? I swear I'm likely to be startled when I come face to face with him in the middle of the night in the dark of the night, unless he shows his trademark big white teeth.

According to his own words, in fact, he was not born so dark, but he traveled south and north later, especially after coming to the area of Yancheng in the western frontier, after years of wind and sun, the acquired complexion, well...... I want to think about what he said:

"Don't look at me like this, when I was young, I was definitely suave, better than Pan An, I was among thousands of flowers, and I took away a red land, this is me."

Of course, Xiao Nan and I are skeptical of what he revealed.

At present, Niu Kelian has to walk several times a week on this official road, and he has been walking for more than 20 years, according to his words, even if he walks with his eyes closed, the stones on the road will give way to him.

He came from the next door to Shacheng, in addition to the 'delicacies' he had prepared, there were several large jars of honey, it is said that there is no honey in Iwacheng, and there is no honey in Shacheng, but the trade route of honey only passes through Shacheng, never passing through Iwacheng, so he has to go to Shacheng every week to buy goods.

From these words, I not only learned that he was a passer-by who had come from Sand City to return to Rock City, but at the same time I had a question: "Why do you like to eat honey so much?" These large jars must have the capacity of an oil pump, and they can be eaten in a week? ”

As a result, Niu Kelian waved his hand indifferently: "Huh? A week? You're exalting us too much, that's two days' worth of people. ”

Looking at the stunned expressions of the two of us, Niu Kelian didn't have any doubts, but just casually explained why it was used so quickly.

It turns out that in this magical place, honey is a food that is almost equal to the firewood, rice, oil and salt we know, and it is indispensable. Except for a few dishes such as mushrooms, which rarely use honey, almost all other foods require a lot of honey pickling, and he can't say why.

"The people here are all honey jars?"

Xiao Nan and I looked at each other, but we were speechless.

With Niu Kelian's talker, this journey was also a lot more lively, and from his words, I had a general understanding of this place.

The place we are located in is the border between the Kingdom of Orlante and the Land of Flowers, and this is within the territory of the Kingdom of Orlante.

Since the Flower Elves are a peace-loving race, there is almost no possibility of war between the two countries, and this place is surrounded by other territories of the kingdom, so it is impossible for any enemy to attack here, so there is only a 500-strong Ant Knights stationed at the boundary of Iwashi.

Rock City can be said to have no strategic value, not even very high economic value, no resources, barren land, a land forgotten by the whole world, with a total population of less than 3,000, almost only the Werner Chamber of Commerce stays here and trades some magic materials with the flower elves.

Because of this, the residents here have to make a trip to Shacheng every once in a while, not for anything else, but to buy supplies for daily life.

Even the Werner Chamber of Commerce has only established a small and insignificant chapter here, and there are not many people.

But the miraculous thing is that in such a small chapter, the branch president is actually the only daughter of the president, Phyllis Werner.

Of course, everyone has to find a way to make a living for themselves, and the people of Iwaki are no exception, and the only industry in Iwaki is to go to the edge of the country of flowers to hunt all kinds of insects that can't be found in the country.

We talked all the way until the sun was setting in the west, and then we arrived at Iwashi.

Rock Castle is a city built on a plain, from the surrounding geology, this is not even a plain, it is already a bit close to the Gobi Desert, in short, the city is in a strange zone of green and red sand.

Looking down from the top of the mountain, I could see the outline of Iwaki Castle's plan, but I couldn't see the details clearly. It wasn't until I walked near Iwaki and saw it with my own eyes under Niu Kelian's explanation that I understood the origin of the name 'Iwacheng'.

The word "rock" stands for rock, and although Iwaki Castle has walls, it is not surrounded by straight and neat walls like the castle as I understand it in my mind, and there is a moat dug under the corner.

In fact, the entire city is encased in dozens of red rocks the size of small hills, which are of very irregular shapes, ranging from tall to short. The only thing in common is that it is very large, and the smallest rock is ten meters high.

A rock is a 'city wall', dozens of rocks plunge into the ground one by one, forming a circle, forming a natural barrier, and the rock castle was born under this barrier.

This natural 'city wall' seems to be a barrier, although I have to sigh at the magic of nature, but compared with the real city wall, it is far inferior.

Let's not say that the irregular shape of the rock does not allow soldiers to go up and garrison it, but let's just say that under the rock, between the two boulders, large or small, there will always be a gap, some small as a dog's hole, and some tall enough to fit an army.

Perhaps the people who chose to build a gathering area here at the beginning only thought about using rock barriers to block the wind and sand, and did not think about how to resist the invasion, and in the years of urban development, they never encountered threats, no foreign beasts, and no foreign invasions, so people simply let these holes exist.

Of course, these are just my guesses, and I may have to ask Uncle Hei about the specific situation, and I don't know very well.

In addition to this, I also noticed a strange detail, these boulders are engraved with an hourglass-shaped symbol, which is exactly the same as the one carved on the trunks on both sides of the forest official road.

"Let's go, go to any hole you want, and you can enter Rock City."

Niu Kelian urged the two of us to take the lead in driving his ant cart forward.

I looked up at the huge rocks almost all the time, and it was not so much that we were entering the city through a hole as wide as a gate, but that we were crossing a cave.

The area of Rock City is not small, but the population of the population is not large, and there are few pedestrians on the way after entering the city, so we quietly came to a double stone fort all the way, and there is a sign hanging on the wooden door of the stone castle, which reads: Vilna Chamber of Commerce in Rock City.

Niu Kelian walked out of the ant cart, stretched his waist, moved his muscles a few times, and shouted: "Ouch, it's here, I'm tired, it's not easy to walk so many times a week." ”

Then he turned to us and said, "Go in first, I'll help you park the car." ”

Xiao Nan and I pushed open the wooden door and walked in.

In front of me, there was a large room, and the pillars were full of lamps and candles, and I began to look at the environment through the candlelight.

The whole room was quiet, very empty, and there was no one. There was only a bar counter and a few sparse chairs, and the walls were obscured by bookshelves filled with unknown books.

The setting here...... It's more of a storytelling teahouse than a chamber of commerce.

After all, it was the first time I entered an unfamiliar scene, and I was a little nervous, not to mention that there was a Xiao Nan who was more nervous than me.

So I tentatively asked, "Is there anyone?" ”
