Dulin left, and when the executive officer from the imperial capital read out the final resolution of the cabinet, Dulin expressed his willingness to accept the resolution of the cabinet on the spot, without filing any protests, and left the city of Otis in a light car. When the news of Durin's departure spread, many people couldn't believe that it was true, that he had left without making a fuss?

It could be a trap, a trap, and maybe Durin is still hiding in some corner of the city.......

Durin was really gone, and in three days he was already standing in the first city bordering the wild west and central of the empire.

Speaking of the west, most of people's impression of the west comes from some film and television works, everywhere are pushed by the noisy wind rolling grass and yellow sand, as well as those robbers and sheriffs who may appear anytime and anywhere on horseback with guns, of course, what people have the deepest impression of the west is actually gold.

Gold rushes and gold diggers have always been the hottest topic in the West and about the West, a vein with medium gold reserves can form an ecosystem of between 100,000 and 200,000 people, so to speak, gold is everything in the western part of the empire, and everything revolves around gold.

The good, the bad, and the bad and not the bad.

"The air here is very dry ......," Du Buddha looked at the ...... a little uncomfortably A city is supposed to be a city, but there are no other places with the cement asphalt roads, and the sand and dust on the ground make the city look like it is about to be deserted. There are wooden houses everywhere, and they are not very high, the tallest house is only three stories tall. It's better to say that this is a city than a ruin that is about to be flooded with dust.

Durin was standing at the station with a suitcase, he had contacted the Guartes here before he came, someone would come to pick them up, and he was also looking at the city. To be honest, it's very shabby and backward, but it's clear that it's actually a tourist city.

Yes, tourist city, this is also the only tourist city in the western part of the empire, there are always some people who have watched movies about the western part of the empire and want to go to the western part of the empire to experience the wild life. But in fact, those wild lives are not only not fun at all, but also very dangerous. Surviving in the wild in the West requires confronting two of the most terrifying things, the first being the animals that are accustomed to eating meat, Gobi wolves, black-haired lions, and countless jackals.

None of these animals are easy to deal with, and the reason why Gobi wolves are not called coyotes is because these wolves that live on the Gobi are absolutely different from the coyotes that are common elsewhere. The fur of the Gobi wolves is yellowish-brown, and it is difficult to spot these apex predators of the west when they are prostrate on the Gobi. They are more elongated, have more developed limbs, and most importantly, they are more brutal in numbers and predators.

In order to capture a prey, Gobi wolves may create a hunt plan that lasts for several days, until the prey is still slaughtered in complete despair. Some biologists believe that the Gobi wolf is an intelligent creature, otherwise they would not be able to develop some hunting plan, let alone have the ability to cooperate with such a division of labor, which only intelligent creatures have.

The second black-haired lion is rare in the Gobi, but there are many of them in the corrupted rocks, and the black-haired lion hunts at night, and they can clearly see at least 150 meters at night, and they have an excellent sense of hearing. They can be found near many mines, and for these nocturnal predators, the places where humans gather are their canteens, and some of the humble places break the news that someone has been eaten every few days.

The last one is not terrifying on an individual basis, they are very small, but what can be compared to the other two predators is their numbers. If you haven't seen the scene of dozens of hundreds of jackals hunting at the same time, you must not have imagined that this kind of small thing that seems to be killed with one punch can have such a terrifying hunting ability.

And that's just the first point, the second thing is even more dangerous than the first, and that is the presence of humans in the wild.

They may look like caravans passing by, or pedestrians walking through the Gobi, and when you don't think they're dangerous, they will sneak a shot at you. Then take your belongings, horses, and sometimes while it's hot.

Humans are always more dangerous than animals, because when you see those predators, you are mentally prepared to know that these things can bring harm and danger, and you can figure out what to do about it. But when you see a man, the first thought that comes to mind is definitely not the idea of "kill him before he kills me", so humans in the wild are the most dangerous creatures in the west!

In order to avoid the fact that the fans and idle guys have not yet experienced the fun of the wild in the wild west, it has become food for the stomachs of animals, and at the same time for economic construction, so there is this city, everything is built according to the picture in the movie, and many people will come here to travel except in winter.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a ...... The wooden cart used to pull things or hay that is common in the countryside appeared in the sight of the two. The two pack horses shivered in the cold wind, and their hairs were about to stand on end.

"Mr. Durin, I'm sorry to be a little late, the road ahead is temporarily closed, so I can only make a slight detour. The coachman jumped out of the groom's position, and after a little explanation, pressed two thick caps from the body of the cart against the pack horses, so that it looked as if he were dressing the two pack horses.

Durin nodded, then rolled over and climbed into the car with Dover, "You don't have a car?"

"Cars?", the coachman smiled shyly, "the mayor does not allow anything modern to appear here, especially during the tourist season, and all the citizens here must wear those clothes that are more than a hundred years old, saying that it is to maintain the original taste of the West." ”

Dover couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It doesn't seem like an easy thing to live here, can't you have modern things in your home?"

The coachman returned to the carriage, pulled up the reins and shook it, "Of course not, you may not know how curious those tourists are about our lives, they may break into your home anytime and anywhere, and then ask for a night stay to experience life." All modern stuff ruins their experience, and I feel like we're like primitives. The only consolation is that we don't have to work, the town hall will distribute the necessities and necessary supplies for us for free, and pay us an income, ten dollars per person per month plus twenty dollars in silver. ”

"Silver?"

The coachman pulled out what looked like a silver coin from his pocket and handed it to Dorin, who flipped it in his hand a few times. A ...... is printed on the front Chicken feathers and twigs stuck in the head, dressed as a very alternative chieftain or something, with a crossed axe and spear on the reverse side, and a shell at the bottom end.

In the coachman's explanation, Dührin gradually understood the meaning of this thing, in short, it is a local currency, worth about 15 cents, and these silver coins can be used as settlement items when trading in the city, which has a similar purpose to Doolin's tokens. However, these coins are not open to tourists, they are purely a prop that can only be used between locals, and they cannot be used to buy valuables, only food and the like.

Along the way, Durin lamented that there are still some "smart" people in this empire, and the city attracts many tourists in an alternative form, in addition to the normal sightseeing experience life, there are also many activities and alternative experiences, such as horse and ox riding, riding a horse to gallop within a limited range, and even playing with a bow and arrow.

It's like a miniature of an era in a modern world, and it really attracts a lot of people to visit here.

The coachman took Durin directly to the church in the "city", and as soon as he opened the door of the church, a stream of heat poured out of the door, which made people feel inexplicably relieved.

A very burly guy in his thirties stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and warmly shook Durin's hand tightly, "Mr. Doolin, I heard that you are coming here, and all of us are very much looking forward to this day. Thank you for all that you have done to us, to all the Guerts!", this burly man is called Ikot, and he is the branch president of the local society here, and he has a considerable reputation, which is also one of the conditions for selecting the branch president.

"The mayor didn't allow us to build any buildings outside of the plan, so we had to hold events in this communal church, and this time all the local Guarte families were represented, and everyone was very happy!"

When Durin walked through the way and entered the main hall of the church, everyone in the hall stood up, and their eyes were focused on him with curiosity, doubt, gratitude, excitement, and so on. This is not the first time that such a scene has occurred, Du Lin naturally will not have stage fright, he constantly nods or greets the people around him, making the atmosphere in the hall very lively.

When Durin reached the podium, and at his request, the people sat back on the benches, he looked at them, his eyes swept over their faces, and said with a confident smile, "We are all meeting for the first time, some of you may have heard of me, my name is Durin, Durin Kersma. It's a great honor for me to be here and say something to you, and that's one of the purposes of my visit. ”

"I'm no different from everyone here......", he raised his hand and kicked his foot, showing his ordinary, "but it's a little different, because I'm unwilling, I don't want to, I can't stand it!"
