Two days later, the cargo ship went upriver and came to Longxin Lake. The water on the surface of the lake is sparkling and boundless, and it is not too much to say that it is an inland sea.

Longxin Lake is the largest lake in the Ambergris River Basin, and the river is divided into three branches, the smallest of which is the most famous is the "Red and Blue River", the full name of which is "the river of rubies and sapphires".

According to legend, the first generation of King Maran was a lowly slave who fell in love with a maid of the master's family. The two love each other but can't be together. The maid, in order to escape from the insult of her master, threw herself into the river. Heartbroken, King Maran jumps into the river to find his lover's body.

When he sank to the bottom of the river, he did not find his lover, but he saw rubies and sapphires that looked like stars. They lay there silently, shimmering with dazzling brilliance, as if they had been transformed by her body.

King Maran secretly scooped up the gem and sold it for gold to redeem himself. Then, with this wealth exchanged for the lives of his lover, he rose up, ended the dark slave age, and created the current Red Kingdom.

Whether the legend is true or not, but at least it is beautiful and moving.

The crystal clear waters of the Red and Blue River precipitate and purify in the vast Longxin Lake, then flow southeast, through a woodland, into Princess Lake, and finally from the south to the central wilderness.

In the middle of the Red and Blue River stands a beautiful and ancient city. The bricks and stones there are all carved from "ice blue and white jade". The whole city is in the color of ice and pale blue, like a crystal castle standing in the world, as if out of a fairy tale, full of dreamy colors.

She is the pearl on the Ambergris River and the imperial capital of the Red Kingdom - Ice Blue City.

The location of Ice Blue City can be described as unique, the terrain is flat, surrounded by rivers, lakes and waters, and thousands of hectares of woodland. Located in the middle of two large tributaries, with small tributaries running through them, it is well-watered, fertile, and full of woodlands and lakes, and has been a rich and livable place that princes and nobles have dreamed of since ancient times.

Ice Blue City is thousands of miles away, there is not a single factory, not a single source of pollution, and even the electricity is drawn from a distant place. As a result, the city is severely undersupplied with electricity, often using oil lamps and calling it environmentally friendly.

Chen Xing had never been to Ice Blue City, and most of them had heard of it. As a low-level mercenary, going to that kind of place full of gods and Buddhas is simply unpleasant.

After a day, the cargo ship passed through Longxin Lake, and the current became turbulent. The second set of engines of the cargo ship is running at full capacity, and a large splash of water erupts from the rear, and the ship swims upstream. Another day, at noon, a towering city came into view.

All of the buildings are high-rise and crowded. It occupies a small area, but it is delicate and reasonable.

It was the royal city of the Principality of the River Sparrow, Surabaya Castle. It is built near the water, towering into the clouds, such as the vermilion bird soaring to the sky, and the green dragon climbing the clouds. The territory of the Duchy of Pufferfish is small, but its location is central, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

The place is small and the location is heavy, and if you want to survive, you must be small and strong. Therefore, the Principality of the Puffin pays attention to the elite soldiers and strong generals, makes great efforts, makes the best use of limited resources, and the architectural style is also close and reasonable to reduce consumption.

As a neighboring country, the people of the Duchy of the Dragon often laughed at the people of the Duchy of the Puffin for being "stingy". But it's no wonder that they, compared to the former, who occupy most of the northern wilderness, the latter is really a little sparrow, how can they live without being stingy?

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Elite policy, unparalleled in the world.

The cargo ship continued to sail against the current, and after two days, it finally saw the majestic monitor lizard city.

The monitor lizard city is called the third imperial capital, built on the mountain, such as the dragon lying on the stone mountain, the atmosphere is magnificent, second only to the second imperial capital of the "White Tiger City".

One is in the northwest of Ice Blue City, and the other is in the southeast, standing on the dragon plate, loyal to the Lord. Since ancient times, it has been the last barrier of the imperial capital.

Since there were his enemies living in the city, and the person who was going to kill him when they met again, Chen Xing didn't plan to stay longer, and asked the old shipwreck to contact the caravan to go to Gray Horn City in advance, and set off with the caravan as soon as he got ashore, and it was best not to stop for a minute.

The cargo ship slowly approached the dock, and the waves crashed against the ship's side, rattling.

"Mr. Chen Erliu......" The old shipman wanted to speak and stopped, Chen Xing was about to ask, and following the other party's gaze, the two maids stood there with nervous faces.

In an instant, Chen Xing understood. The old shipwreck wanted to give them to himself, but this time he was going to the Black Death Jungle, eating and sleeping in the open air, life and death were uncertain, and he didn't even bring his subordinates, and he also brought two maids who had no combat effectiveness, wasn't he asking for trouble?

"This ......" The old shipper hesitated for a while, but still spoke, pointing to the maid named "Ye Qian" and said, "This is my little girl......"

it!

Chen Xing was taken aback, the old shipwreck even gave his daughter to him, and the capital was not small.

"This is a little ......maid in the lower brother-in-law," said the old shipwrecker, pointing to another maid named "Li Mei", "they are cousins. ”

"If the adults think they are still useful, give them food." The old shipwreck said humbly.

"Ah......" Facing this gift, Chen Xing was disrespectful, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, follow me in the future." ”

It is estimated that the old ship merchant learned about his situation from Liu Huanxi. When he came back this time, it can be said that he was spending a lot of money, and the money thrown out of his hand was at least 500,000, if it was converted into the soft sister coins before the crossing, it would be 500 million!

In this world, due to the possibility of evolution, the strong and the weak are the difference between cloud and mud, just as a peony is to grass mustard, and a dragon is to an ant. As long as there is a good master, the future development space will be very broad. If ordinary people can produce a town guard level, it is enough to glorify their ancestors and eat for several generations. If you get the title of nobility, it will be a chicken dog ascending to heaven.

"Xiaomei, Xiaoqian, come over and thank you Mr. Chen Erliu." The old ship's face was overjoyed, and he said to the two girls.

For some reason, Chen Xing felt that the name "Chen Erliu" was a bit awkward. Although he did it himself, he always felt a little strange, as if something was wrong.

"Thank you, host." The two women shouted in unison, bowing ninety degrees.

"Hmm." Chen Xing pretended to nod his head, and then each of them gave out a red envelope of five hundred gold, which caused the two women's eyebrows to dance and smile happily, and then checked the attributes of the two women by the way.

Judging from the observation during this time, Ye Qian is more lively, and Li Mei is quieter. This can also be reflected in the numerical value, Li Mei saves more money than Ye Qian, and then she is more good at cooking, Ye Qian has strong mobility, and she is more diligent in cleaning, and the two have their own advantages.

"Have you ever used an evolution potion?" Chen Xing looked at the 16-point physique on Li Mei's data page and asked the old shipmer.

"I've all used a primary physique potion, and nothing else." The old shipwhart replied. Generally speaking, families with conditions will inject their children with one or two primary physique strengthening agents, so that their health will be better and the probability of getting sick will also decrease.

Hearing the old shipmer's answer, Chen Xing was depressed for a moment, he didn't know how much money he had spent to get in to smash his physique to 19 points, and others were born with more than ten points, which was really terrible.

"Well, I still have some things to do, so I can't take you there......"

Hearing Chen Xing's words, the eyes of the two women quickly dimmed.

"I'll add you two to my mercenary group, you go to Sanchahe City to find the ghost fox, and she will arrange a back-office job for you......"

Hearing this, the eyes of the two women brightened again. Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh, when did he become a big man who could make others happy and sad with his words and deeds.

"Mmmm~" The two women nodded like chickens pecking rice, and after the boat docked, they waved a small handkerchief to see Chen Xing off with tears in their eyes.

Before leaving, Chen Xing sent an email to the ghost fox and roughly explained the situation. The ghost fox quickly replied, "Yes, my captain. ”

After getting off the ship, Chen Xing did not stop for a moment, contacted the caravan arranged by the old shipbuilder as quickly as possible, and got on the truck full of goods. The convoy set off quickly and drove on the Ring Road, but unexpectedly there was a traffic jam.

"Alas, those boys, brothers, and young ladies close the road to play racing all night when they have nothing to do, but those of us who are begging for a living are all out of the city before dark, you see, what are they stuffed into......"

Looking at the flooded highway, the truck driver complained. Chen Xing was also anxious, for fear that something would happen halfway, and scolded, "A bunch of unfinished goods!" ”

"Ouch, this can't be helped, those are golden branches and jade leaves, if someone hears it, it will be a big trouble." The truck driver said with some fear. In this monitor lizard city, there are many high-ranking families, and you accidentally run into them.

"Whatever he does, I can do it if I want." Chen Xing was rarely arrogant, after all, he was a person who had been a great healer and ridden a dragon.
