Chapter 22: The City of Gold
Starting from the small town of Palaya and heading to the Golden City, it will take about two weeks to reach it at the speed of a normal caravan.
Alan took two women, Shirley and Ini, along the way, so the speed was probably the same as that of an ordinary caravan, neither fast nor slow, not in a hurry.
During the day, Alan rides a giant wolf, Shirley sits in a delicate pony carriage, and the Dark Elf Assassin accompanies him in the carriage. There were only three of them, and there was no coachman. The wolves led the way, and the horses knew what to do. This is animal taming.
In the evening, the three of them stopped to rest and set up two tents.
While Shirley and Ini were cleaning up the camp, Alan took two giant wolves to the depths of the woods to catch prey, sometimes wild boars, sometimes reindeer, and sometimes even hunt the ferocious monsters. Catching fish and picking berries is also a lot of fun.
During her journey south, Ini found Eren and had a conversation. Alan knew in his heart what Ini was thinking.
The young warlock told the Dark Elf Assassin that he must always keep the rescue of the village in mind, and that he would arrange it as soon as he arrived in the Golden City. At the same time, he told Eni not to be in a hurry, it was not easy to rescue an elven village from Lillian, and reminded Eni that she could not act alone because she was in a hurry.
"I don't think you're going to be the last killer Lillian sent. But it's been so long, Lilian hasn't found us yet, presumably because of something, this time is our best respite and preparation period, there is not enough power to save your village. Alan said seriously.
Ini and Eren have also been together for many days, knowing that Eren is a man of his word, with these words, he is relieved, and Annai is anxious.
In fact, Alan is right about Lilian's movements, and the abyss "Enchanting City" where Lilian is located is now in a bitter battle with the Corpse Tree. The corpse demon from the ancients has destroyed hundreds of Lillian's defensive strongholds, and now the Phantom Snake Demon is actively mobilizing all his forces to launch a decisive battle against the corpse demon tree method.
At the critical moment, Lilian left behind the wild heart found in the Divine Grace Continent.
Along the way, Shirley and Ini are amazed at Allen's ride on the wolf, and the Dark Elf Assassin remembers the assassination in the study that day. Regarding his strength beyond ordinary people, Alan did not hide it and told his two companions.
It's just that I can't help but remind again: "It's because of this incident that I got Lilian's attention." I have a lot of secrets on my body, and I don't want people to pay attention to them, so I ask you to keep them for me. ”
Shirley, Ini, and Eren were very close and nodded in agreement.
Before they knew it, the three of them had come to the plain of Raspaer. Just after the New Year, the winter wheat on the plains is covered in snow, as if to herald another good harvest year. It's just that who knows, behind this calm, an amazing turmoil is brewing rapidly.
After passing some highland mountains and walking on the plains for a day, there were more and more pedestrians on the road, more and more business travelers, farms and towns became more and more dense, and a large river, flowing slowly on the plains, supported hundreds of millions of people in the north, as well as countless races. All roads lead in one direction, and that is the great golden city of Raspaar!
At noon on this day, after Alan and the others had rested, they had not set off far, and they saw a gray stone city wall standing on top of the endless snowfield in the distance. The golden city of Pallas is like a mountain, standing majestically under the firmament, and under the noon sun, the gray city walls are scattered with golden brilliance.
"The most prosperous city in the north, one of the main cities of the six major systems of the Sacred Continent, I didn't expect it to be so brilliant in the peaceful world." Riding on top of the giant wolf, Allen's heart was full of heroism.
In his previous life, when he first came to Golden Raspar, he was already a second-order mage, at that time, the north was in the midst of a terrible war, and the population was sharply reduced by ninety percent compared to the glory days before 1327.
With the northern fortress of "Skader City of Glory" becoming an important stronghold for players and aboriginal coalition forces to resist the death knights, the status of the main city of Golden Raspar has been weakened, but when Eren arrived, it was still an important strategic rear of the City of Glory, and countless supplies and troops were sent to the north from here.
How many people have risen here, how many important decisions have been made here, how many historical trends have changed because of Golden Raspar, there are too many to count, and it is impossible to say.
Therefore, when Alan saw Raspar in splendor, complicated emotions were still born.
Finally under the city, the three of Alan came from the north and walked to the north gate of the golden Raspaal, which was a city with a total of six gates. A few kilometers outside the city gate, a huge moat lies quietly, and it is said that this river is home to a first-order demonic beast, a bloodthirsty bone fish, which can prevent enemy troops from flowing through here.
Outside the north gate of Raspar, it is bustling with people. Looking at the people with calm expressions, different thoughts, and wearing northern robes, Allen felt another feeling in his heart.
Alan observed carefully, here, people who leave the city do not need to register, and everyone who enters the city will be interrogated.
Shirley was already very familiar with this, and soon led the two Alan to line up. The line into the city looked long, but the speed of digestion was also extremely fast, and it didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the city gate.
Two city guards armed with iron spears and wearing armor with a level of about 25 stopped the three Allens, and a clerk stood behind them.
Before he could begin his inquiry, the Protector saw the Warlock Badge on Alan's chest. Seeing Alan so young, I was very surprised in my heart.
"Hello, Dear Mr. Warlock, welcome to Golden Raspar City!"
The soldiers gave the caster the courtesy they deserved.
Alan smiled and returned the salute, took the initiative to take out his identity credentials, handed them over, looked at the two Shirley, and said, "These two are my companions, Miss Shirley, the mage's apprentice, and Miss Ini, the dark elf." ”
The city guards noticed the two Shirley, and also saw the mage apprentice robes that Shirley was wearing, and in the face of the two beautiful girls, the young city guards were quite excited, and they were a little flustered.
At this time, I don't know why, the team next to everyone suddenly made a noise, and the two soldiers glanced at it and ignored it.
Shirley and the others just smiled and handed over their credentials, not saying much.
"Honorable spellcaster, according to the rules of the Golden Raspar City, you do not have to pay the entry tax, you are welcome." "But Raspar also reminded a few people not to disturb the order in the city, otherwise Golden Raspar will be punished according to the regulations." ”
"Naturally, thank you." Alan Dao.
At this time, the noise not far away became louder.
"Why don't they have to pay the entrance tax, but I, Odro, need it, do you look down on me? I just handed it in yesterday. ”
A loud noise rang in Alan's ears.
With doubts, he turned his head to look, and suddenly, Alan was shocked!
Dwarven Berserker, Odro!
Alan almost shouted! Once a legendary berserker, Odro, who has the power to slay dragons!
When the quarrel broke out, Alan actually noticed the dwarf not far from him, and remembered a proverb on the continent -
"Ten dwarves can overthrow a country!"
Alan looked at it twice before, although he felt that the young dwarf was a little familiar, but he didn't pay attention, who knew that as soon as the dwarf opened his mouth, he said that he was Odro, and the angry roar was like thunder, which startled many people. Immediately sparked Alan's memory.
"Legendary Berserker! Even when he was young, he was already majestic. "Alan didn't expect that he would actually see the legend a hundred years later here, Odero, Odero, I didn't expect that when you were young, your temper would be so hot.
Thinking of a hundred years later, the legendary berserker Odero was wearing Vulcan armor and holding a flame hammer, sweeping the battlefield, and Allen's already uncalm heart made several waves.
"It's a hero." Alan thought silently in his heart.
At this time, Odro noticed Allen's presence, looked at the badge on the boy's chest, and nodded appreciatively. I just don't understand what the smile of admiration is when this child looks at him.
He said, "Hey, young warlock, what are you watching me do, do you want to help me pay for my entry into the city?" ”
"Of course, very willingly."
Hearing Odro's words, Alan didn't think about it, so he agreed. Standing in front of him is the future Continental Alliance, one of the commanders of the Army Corps, under his strong combat power, countless people's lives have been saved, in front of such a hero, the cost of entering the city is nothing.
"Hah!" Odro laughed: "It's so cool, it's really bold, Odro likes you, Mr. Warlock!" ”
"You hear, this honorable sorcerer, you want to pay for my entry into the city, why don't you let me go!" In the face of the weak soldiers, Odro was a little impatient, if he hadn't been concerned about the strength of the Golden City, he would have pushed the young men in front of him away and swaggered into the city.
Although his level is not high, he is ruthless, and these 25-level city guards still have to lie down like this.
"Actually, Mr. Warlock, you don't have to pay attention to him." The young soldier reminded, "This dwarf has been here for a week, and every day he goes in and out of the city, there is always a lot of trouble. ”
"Really?" Alan laughed, but thought in his heart, Odro has always lived in Fang, and he came here from the south, and he didn't know why.
"It's okay, I'm more than happy to pay for this dwarf gentleman." Alan took a gold coin from the ring and handed it over.
"It doesn't take so much, one silver coin is enough!" The Guardian reminded.
Hearing this, an embarrassed smile appeared on Allen's face, and when he left the town of Paraya, Allen exchanged some gold coins from the town, but there was not a single silver coin.
"It's okay, help me find it!"
The city guards didn't say anything more, glanced at the triumphant Odro indignantly, and immediately went through the formalities for entering the city.
At this moment, Odro kept stomping his feet, he was not interested, he stayed at the city gate, politely looked at Alan and Shirley, with a hearty and heroic smile on his face, thinking in his heart, it was really good to go out and meet a good person!
