Chapter 316: Tatasya (1st Update)
Tatasiya is a large city in the central part of the province of KolamΓ‘n, bordered by a great river called Brahmi, in the middle and upper part of the country, where the land is dry and the climate is not suitable for crops, but it is known for being a fierce city.
Xia also traveled with the caravan for nearly a month, on the way, more or less knew some of the city, there is no fertile soil here, the environment is located and the desert is backed, since the first generation of marquis, another way, a large number of beasts, slaves, to build the most luxurious arena, after several generations, finally gave birth to a city that does not live on the land, just the profits brought by the daily gladiatorial battles, and the taxes drawn by the trade in the city, are huge and amazing.
"...... tell me again, what do you mean by the country of the upper class?"
For nearly a month, Xia Yi entered the realm of Tatahiya City with Mekanoy's team, and after being able to understand some Tetrian languages, he communicated with them from time to time, and from Tatahia City, he vaguely covered everything about this world.
Maikanoy didn't know much, only a few things he knew.
"The upper kingdom is the northern country, and the continent under our feet is divided into two parts, north and south, from Tatasia to the east, about half a month, you will pass through a place called Timinoa, with that as the junction, and the south is the lower country. β
Speaking of this, Maikanoy poured a sip of wine, then spit it on the ground: "Actually, it means the lower class, and the people who live in the northern country are the upper class...... By geography, it's really ridiculous. β
Maikanoi, who has lived here for half his life, knows only a limited number of things, and no matter how much, he can't tell Xia Yi, and before long, the outline of Tatasya City can be seen.
After a while, they stopped at the cargo transit area in the suburbs, and Xia Yi will also say goodbye to the brother and sister.
"Natsu, thank you that day!" Maikanoy sent him out, thanking him again.
Xia Yi nodded, didn't say anything more, and waved his hand at Dina, who was standing beside his brother, and he led the pack beast, let Ga Ga look at the thief, and turned around and walked to the city over there.
"Brother, you said that Xia, where would he be from the mainland?"
Looking at the back in the distance, everyone has been together for nearly a month, Dina is a little reluctant: "If only he could still be with us, I can see that my brother likes to talk to him very much." β
"You don't either. Maikanoi retracted his gaze, looked at his sister, and smiled on his face, he has been away all the year round, and he has experienced a lot, and he can see the parting after all.
patted the girl on the head: "Let's go, go back and unload the goods, and then go into the city and buy something for my mother." β
"You want me to provoke it!"
Dina took her brother's arm and snorted.
The sun spread, and the brother and sister were in opposite directions, and the huge defensive collision angles were neatly arranged at the head of the wall, extending to the end that could not be seen by the eye, and there were black-framed and red-chested flags with sharp claws, which hunted in the wind.
On the city wall, the patrolling soldiers, their eyes swept the road below, and Xia Yi led the pack beast to slowly approach the city gate.
All around, crowds come and go, chaotic and noisy.
"The city is full of chaos, and people die every day....."
On the side, the thief who was loosened by the rope, not far from Xia Yi's side, whispered, the sound mixed with the noise, became intermittent, someone nearby had a quarrel, and then moved his hand, took out a knife, stabbed into the other party's body, brought out blood and screams, and the patrolling soldiers followed their eyes.
The corner of the thief leader's mouth hooked into a smile, he turned his head to look at Xia Yi, and his voice gradually became louder: "...... stranger, although I don't know what your purpose is to find the inscription arrow, you shouldn't come to this city......"
Turning his gaze to meet the cold one-eyed.
And, the arm that was suddenly stretched out, and there was a soft 'click' sound from his neck, and his smile instantly froze on his face.
Ahead, a team of patrolling soldiers rushed to the place where the murder occurred, and Xia Yi carried the body and turned around, as if the two were talking.
When the soldier's footsteps passed, he placed the thief's body behind a nearby tree, and sat against it, looking from a distance, as if he were sitting there napping.
Xia Yi left this side with weapons on his back, under the gaze of the soldiers on the city wall, mixed in the crowd entering the city, entering the city gate, the chaos outside gradually subsided, and the city streets that entered the field of vision, on both sides were high and low stone buildings, compactly crowded together, the stones of the building, mostly made of dark rocks, looked ancient, and there were occasional mottled knife marks on it, giving people a feeling full of violence and chaos.
In the sunlight, Xia Yi walked through the crowd, walked through this otherworldly street, and at the door of the tavern with wine barrels, there was a scream, and a figure was thrown out and fell on the street, and then the man got up, covered the injured parts, and left Xia Yi with a curse.
Moving on, the air was filled with a strong smell of medicine, Xia Yi raised his eyes, on the high stone steps, there was a crucible placed in front of a shop, and the thin old man sat there, gently fanning the flame at the bottom of the pot, and sometimes, remembering something, took out a few leaves, grass roots, and a certain part of the animal, and threw them into the boiling pot.
Under the eaves of the street, there were also groups of people sitting together, fiddling with the weapons in their hands, their eyes constantly sweeping over the passers-by, and then laughing hideously with their companions, as if they had found prey.
On the stone tower above them, there were brothels with cool clothes, and there were also women's laughter and gasps, and the sound merged into the lively long street, forming one of the hustle and bustle, and in the distance, on the other side of the city, the sky was the circular outline of the arena.
"I'll find you a family soon, are you in a hurry?" Xia Yi gently patted the human head in the cloak through the fabric.
After all, the original identity of this human head, being able to lead an army, must only be known by the upper class, which is why he came to Tatasya.
When he came, on the way, he knew from the mouth of Maikanoy that the city was founded by the arena, and the owner of the city, the Marquis Ikamain, part of the family estate, wanted to get the answer he wanted from the other party, only he and the other party could do it.
If he does, he doesn't know the city's defenses, and if it's too urgent, it might startle the snake.
"Let's find a place to stay for a while..... think about what to do next......
Soon, I found a hotel, this time I rented a private room, broke up the last gold coin, walked into the room, there was a commotion outside, Xia Yi pushed open the window, the time was almost evening, in the light of the dusk sunset, the long street surged, the crowd dispersed, several knights in armor waved whips, scolded the surrounding pedestrians to disperse, rushed through Xia Yi's sight, towards the mansion in the center of the city.
It seems, escorting a long wooden box.
Soon they were ushered in the door.
