137 Cities of another world
Regarding the sword that suddenly appeared in Han Xi's hand, Li Yu and Qiu Tong thought for a while, but still didn't think clearly.
The two of them simply didn't want to think about it, and gradually approached the destination of the convoy as the convoy slowly moved forward.
One of the border cities of this otherworldly country, Eames.
On the way, Qiu Tong pulled out a book in the luggage of the convoy and began to improvise written knowledge about the city.
"Imes, the largest city in the northern part of Zeguo, is also known as the city of the frontier or the city of soldiers, and there are 100,000 soldiers of the Wolf God Clan stationed in it, as well as 200,000 people of other races.
The wolf god clan has a strong physique and a martial people, and it is the main source of force in Zeguo. In the early days of the establishment of the Ze Kingdom, the Senate laid down the law - the wolf god clan did not need to engage in any production industry, and was supported by other clans in the country, so that their people could concentrate on martial arts and strengthen their bodies - the wolf god clan only had warriors.
Therefore, with a garrison of 100,000 wolf gods, Yimus can become a nail in the north of Zeguo, so that the nearby army of Lu will not dare to make a mistake easily. And the meaning of the existence of the 200,000 people of all ethnic groups is to serve the 100,000 soldiers. ”
Qiu Tong read the contents of the book, his eyes glancing back and forth between Li Yu and Han Xi from time to time.
Looking through Akiki's eyes, you can see that there is a huge crack in the sky.
The kind of light on Han Xi's body that belonged to the Son of Heavenly Dao was gradually being absorbed by the rift, and then fell on Li Yu's body.
This shows that in the previous city, Han Xi will lose the ability of the son of the Heavenly Dao.
At this time, the originally endless sea of sand finally showed signs of disappearing as it gradually approached Imus, and some tender green grass stubbornly grew out of the gravel, making the surrounding area of this deserted city faintly have some rudimentary grasslands.
"These are 'fertile grasses' that can grow in places where the aura is thin, and they don't require much water. "It's been three days since that attack, and as they get closer and closer to their destination, the nerves of the people in the caravan have gradually relaxed, and Gu Lingfeng's injuries have obviously recovered a lot in these times. At this moment, he and Han Xi were riding on the same sand boat, and when he saw Han Xi's curious look on his face, he smiled and introduced him to the things about this city.
"The people in the city have been cultivating grass for hundreds of years with this border city as the center, but the grass seeds planted before have not survived, and only in recent years have they begun to try to use this 'fertile grass' to fix sand, but they don't want to achieve a small success. A little further on, there is no sand in sight, and then we have to stop and put wheels on the sand boat. ”
Han Xi listened to Gu Lingfeng's introduction very attentively, and after listening to it, he took out an ink and stone pen and a booklet from his arms and recorded them one by one. said that this and the booklet were suddenly thrown into Han Xi's arms by Gu Rouxue one night, probably to thank him for saving his brother?
"Hey. Han Xi had just finished writing the last word, and suddenly the figure of a young girl fell from the sky and landed firmly between him and Gu Lingfeng, who is this not Gu Rouxue. Rao has been living with this camel team for some time, and Han Xi is still taken aback by this way of appearing that does not conform to the identity of a "girl".
"Do you humans have such a courtesy, 'If you give something from someone else, you will use it immediately, otherwise it will be rude'? If you knew that I would give you a firewood knife, you will go to chop firewood every day when you are free. Gu Rouxue came to Han Xi's side and said quietly.
Han Xi moved unnaturally to the side, staring at the wooden plank under his feet, and said softly: "If the girl wants me to chop wood, I just need to let me know." As for the kind of etiquette you mentioned, there is no such thing. ”
Gu Rouxue waved her hand, leaned on her brother and sat down, and said, "Who would ask you to chop firewood, just your body, you are almost the same as chopping firewood." "The Wolf God Clan is still martial, and for those who are weak, there is really no affection to talk about in words.
"Anyway, why are you remembering my brother's words? He's not in the dojo. ”
Han Xi put away the pen and booklet, looked at the sky, suddenly smiled, and said: "I have been weak since I was a child, and I have never traveled far, so I have been living in the mountains, and I only know the world in the mountains. Now I can meet you, but what I have seen and heard is different from the past, so I wrote it down, and I hope that one day I can return to my homeland and have a witness. ”
While the group was talking, the camel team that was originally moving slowly stopped, and the wolf god clan who led the team in front shouted, saying: "There is a stone road ahead! Change the wheel for the sand boat!" March Chinese
Gu Lingfeng stood up with the support of his sister, let out a long breath, looked ahead, the corners of his mouth hooked a beautiful arc, and said: "Look, the border city of Imus is ahead, it's not far away, let's walk over this road first." ”
Han Xi looked in the direction of Gu Lingfeng's line of sight, and a towering black city had already emerged from the sand and dust in the distance. He thought about it, he had been sitting on the sand boat these days, and he hadn't been active for a long time, and this section of the road was not long, but he should be able to walk through.
How did he know that his body had been soaked in the aura, and he had to lead the fire Jue away from the fire into his body, and then he had to have five spirit locks to stabilize the spiritual network, and he was already no different from ordinary people, and maybe better than ordinary people. Only daily training can naturally reshape this weak body due to the lack of exercise in the early years.
The strange thing is that on the night of the attack, the idea of wanting to practice swordsmanship suddenly welled up in his heart has not reappeared since he killed the monster, and even his five senses, which suddenly became sensitive that night, have also returned to the normal state of waste wood after that...... As if none of that had anything to do with him.
After Gu Lingfeng greeted the rest of the caravan, he walked forward with Gu Rouxue and Han Xi, and no one noticed Han Xi's distraction.
At this time, Gu Rouxue suddenly thought of something, and suddenly turned back to Han Xi and asked, "Hey, Brother Han, you haven't dared to look at me all the time, is it because my clothes are different from your human women's clothes?"
Han Xi was thinking about his thoughts, but he was suddenly stunned by such a question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Where did Gu Rouxue need an answer, she just smiled mischievously, casually threw a silk scarf to him, and said jokingly: "When you enter the city, you will use this to cover your eyes and pretend to be blind, understand?"
Han Xi still didn't understand what Gu Rouxue meant while holding the silk scarf, but it was Gu Lingfeng who reacted first, patted his head lightly, and said, "The dressing style of the women of the Wolf God Clan is indeed ...... And there are still feather spirits in the city...... Brother Han, I think you will be able to get used to it, you will definitely be able to. The last "must be able" was about to be said to himself, and after speaking, he did not forget to cast a sincere look.
Seeing Gu Lingfeng's eyes, Han Xi suddenly felt that things might not be so simple.
The border city of Imes.
This city, which was built in the early days of the founding of the Ze Kingdom, has existed for more than 2,000 years, and when it was first established, it was just a supply depot set up for treasure hunters in the desert, covering an area of only 200 hectares, and the outer wall was no more than three feet high. Later, in order to resist the plunder of the Lu army, the Senate expanded the city many times, and set up heavy troops to defend it, repair the city wall inside, dig trenches outside, and even spend a lot of money to invite the merman warlock from Suzhou, and attract the underground water veins in the south with the spiritual power array, which is what is now Imus.
Today, this frontier city covers an area of 600 hectares, with an outer wall more than seven zhang high, and the wall is reinforced with earth magic. There was a trench dug outside the wall, two zhang deep and ten zhang wide, and the bottom of the ditch was buried with spikes and oil. The city is a veritable wartime fortress.
In addition to the army and yamen, there are also rudders of the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce stationed in the city, and treasure hunters and gold diggers who wander on the Gobi Desert all year round also rest here.
In addition to the Wolf God Clan soldiers, the main inhabitants of the city are the Feather Spirit Clan and the Wind Chaser Clan.
The Feathered Spirit is a gentle song, light and dancing, with bright feathers on the outside of their shoulders and arms, which allow them to leap from great heights without being injured, and they have excellent eyesight, making them excellent scouts and sentinels. This clan believes in the legendary lord of the sky, Garuda, with peacocks, white cranes, and peregrine falcons as the three sacred birds.
The Wind Chasers are the people who have lived in the Northern Wilderness for the longest time, and their appearance is not much different from ordinary people, but they are taller than ordinary people. A long time ago, before the Ze Kingdom was established, the people of the Wind Chasers had already lived on this land, when it was still a grassland, and they named this grassland "Mara", which means "green grassland" in their language. Here they graze horses and alpacas, and live leisurely in pursuit of water and grass. Later, the war damaged the spiritual veins here, causing the environment of the entire grassland to change, and it became unrelievable. Today's action of reclamation and grass planting is also the result of the efforts of this clan.
Gu Lingfeng walked all the way, introducing everything about Imes to Han Xi all the way, as if as long as he mentioned this huge city, he had endless enthusiasm. And Han Xi also listened very carefully, and asked carefully when he didn't understand it, for fear of missing any details.
The two chatted hotly, but they snubbed Gu Rouxue. The girl snorted coldly all the way behind the two, but her eyes were staring straight at the back of Han Xi's neck, if her eyes were like knives, she was afraid that Han Xi's back of the neck would be cut off.
Where would Han Xi notice the gaze behind him, how excited he was now, everything Gu Lingfeng told him was something he had never heard of, and it had completely hooked all his mind. At the moment, he just wanted to memorize every word Gu Lingfeng said, and then stay in a quiet place and write it down.
If he could, when he returned to his homeland, he hoped that he would compile what he had seen and heard into a book, and if it could be passed on to the world, it would not be in vain for the rest of his short life. He has thought of the title of the book, just call it "Floating Dream Fairy Tour".
As he spoke, the long road was unconsciously finished, and the border city of Imes was close in front of him.
