Chris lives on the hill to the east of the village, and the village can be left in the other three directions, but if you need to go to the city to catch the market, you need to cross the village to the post station at the west entrance of the village. For family travel, hiring a horse-drawn carriage to catch the market is obviously a relatively good way. Everyone walked along the village road to the west of the village, the courtyards were staggered, few people went in and out, it seemed that they all went out, and occasionally met neighbors in the village along the way, everyone waved to each other, of course, the average man will be pulled by the daughter-in-law before he will take his eyes off Mei Lin. Obviously, on weekdays, Chris and his wife get along well with the village.

When we walked to the central square of the village, there were several old people standing under the big trees on the edge of the square in the open space of tens of square meters, and on the other side of the square, a group of children who were slightly younger than Jack were chasing and playing around the wooden tools in the square, and childish laughter floated over the village.

"Jack, I'm going to be here next month with the other kids. ”

Chris looked at Little Jack with bad intentions, and Little Jack hurriedly avoided his father's eyes and hid behind his mother.

"It's Chris, the family is ready to go out. ”

Out of the crowd came an old man in a plain green coat with a wisp of white beard.

"Hello village chief, why haven't you gone out to the city for a walk at the end of the month. ”

Chris bowed slightly to the old man.

"I'm too old to walk, so it's good to walk around the village. ”

The village chief shook his head.

"Go quickly, this trip is a little late, the rest of the village has left early, I don't know if there is a carriage at the post station. ”

The village chief waved his hand in motion. Chris glanced at his dear daughter-in-law and shook his head helplessly.

"Then don't go past the village chief, and come back to see you. ”

Horse-drawn wagons are the most common mode of transportation on the continent of Elpitze, and are very popular due to their relatively low cost compared to other modes of transportation. Although it is the cheapest means of transportation, it is still convenient for long-distance travel in remote places. And the cost is not high, a single hire only costs one silver coin.

Chris and his party accelerated their pace to the village north post station, and saw that there was no special family carriage, only the public carriage that set off at a fixed time, Chris sighed, and after paying the fare of 60 copper coins, he helped his wife step on the small stool prepared by the coachman and boarded the carriage, and then carried the two little guys into the carriage, and then went up and sat down.

It is said that it is a carriage, that is, it is a shed with a strong strip of wooden planks nailed into a shed with a length of 6 meters, a width of 4 meters, and a height of 1.5 meters, the shed is fixed with a tough braid, and the window opening that occupies half of the area of the car wall is used as a ventilation light, and the shed has a curved roof; A carriage can fit 16 people when it's full.

Mei Lin, who did not hire a special carriage, frowned, thinking that it was not a long sedentary, although it was simple, but fortunately, they were the first guests at the starting station, and she was relieved.

After a while, the coachman rang the brass bell for departure, and the carriage in the driver's seat in front of him began to set off along the road out of the village. Jack was overjoyed, taking Ryan's hand and swaying back and forth as he mimicked the bumps of the carriage, leaning against the window and roaring outward, pointing to the distant peaks of the mountains from time to time, and looking at the unknown bird that was startled and flying. Mr. and Mrs. Chris glanced at each other with satisfaction. The scenery on the side of the road fades backwards, setting off bursts of childish smiles.

After driving for a while, the carriage drove onto the official road, which was wide and smooth, and it was enough for two cars to drive side by side on the side of the road. This official road leads south to the Adventure Holy Land Mine Hidden Mountain, and even though it is a rest day at the end of the month, there are still groups of adventuring parties on the official road.

After walking more than ten kilometers to another village post station, six men and women came up, looking like three couples, all of them went to Wanglei City to catch the market, and after getting in the car, they nodded to each other in a friendly manner, and Merlin also beckoned Jack and Ryan to do a good job, and the car fell into a short silence, but it was only a moment of silence.

"Eh, the material of your clothes is so soft and the color is so good, where did you buy it? ”

"Oh, you also like this color, I picked it for a long time on the cloth street in the west of the city before I saw it, it's beautiful. ”

........ The carriage was lively again, and several men looked at each other and smiled.

As the carriage got closer and closer to the city, there were more and more pedestrians and horses on the post road, and some people would see adventurers walking on foot, traders or merchants living in the surrounding area, and occasionally encounter rare monster mounts, each time they encountered the attention and exclamation of passers-by. The two little ones were the most excited, and they would exclaim when they saw those beast mounts.

Slowly, the horses and vehicles began to slow down, and finally became about the same speed as pedestrians. With the sound of "Pilot...", the carriage stopped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the carriage has arrived at the Wanglei City Station, and if you need to enter the city, please go to the south gate to enter the city by yourself. ”

Hearing the driver's voice, the Chris family followed the people in the carriage and got out of the carriage. At this time, the carriage stopped in an open space, and the open space was surrounded by a wooden fence to form a circle and could not see the inside, it seemed that it should be a post coach and horse rest area, and the coachman saw that there was no one in the car, so he drove the car to the wooden fence. The crowd walked along the outer road of the fence towards Wanglei City, and along the way they saw a similar gate on the other side of the fence, and every once in a while a carriage would come out of that gate and drive in other directions along the post road.

Rien took Merlin's hand and walked through this fence road and was attracted by a high city wall, the city wall is more than 20 meters high, the wall is a black brown unique to black steel rock, giving people an indestructible sense of heaviness, the wall is more than 500 meters long, the city wall is in the center of the city wall and has a city gate of 8 meters high and 5 meters wide, the two ends of the wall extend straight to both sides, until it is embedded in the mountains that are higher than the city wall on both sides, the mountain stones on both sides set off the neatness and solemnity of the city wall, the city wall also highlights the vast majesty of the mountain stone, the two mountains are bridged by the city wall, and the city wall is guarded by the two mountains, it is indeed advantageous because of the situation, and it depends on each other。

Seeing that Rien was fascinated, Jack proudly explained what he knew to Rien.

Originally, this was just a small market leaning on the mountain on three sides, and later there were more and more adventurers who came to Lei Yin Mountain, and everyone used this place as a place to rest before going to Lei Yin Mountain or after returning, and slowly the scale became larger and larger, and the demand was more and more, and finally the city lord of Nangong City invited a team of dwarf craftsmen to repair a city on the basis of this mountain on three sides. Later, after the operation, the inside of the mountain is bulldozed and expanded, three sides take the mountain as the wall, the top of the mountain repairs the fortifications, the outside is facing the post road on one side with the two mountains as the horns, the black stone city wall is built between the two mountains and is connected to complement each other, the whole city forms the trend of a mountain looking at the road, and you can see the perennial thunder point on the Lei Yin Mountain to the southeast, so it is named Lei City. Later, Wanglei City experienced several riots of demonic beasts in Leiyin Mountain without falling, and gradually became a holy place for adventurers and training groups who came to Wanglei Mountain. Every year, there is a steady stream of people who come to experience the adventure, and some people come to settle here. Therefore, although Wanglei City is not particularly large, it has now become a treasure place that merchants and travelers must visit.

Ryan followed the Chris couple towards the majestic wall. At the foot of the city, rows of vendors' tents were set up in the shade under the black steel rock, some of which were full of goods in front of them, some of which were empty on the table, and behind which were piled up with goods, which were supposed to be for the purchase of goods. There is an endless stream of pedestrians outside the tent, some people leave the tent with happy eyes, some leave with a reluctant face, there are guides standing outside the tent, as long as someone walks towards them, they will enthusiastically come forward to ask whether to sell goods or buy goods, and then take the guests to the corresponding tent.

"I heard my father say that these tents outside are all hawkers, and it is okay to sell the things of the layman here, but it is better to go to a special place in the city if they are good and valuable. ”

Jack saw that Ryan was looking in that direction, and leaned into his ear.

Everyone walked in the direction of the city gate, where six city guards stood in two columns, maintaining the order of entering the city. From time to time, two city guards walked back and forth. The people followed the pedestrians who had entered the city to the city gates. The end of the month here is a period of relaxation, many people have been busy for a month, need to count their harvest at the end of the month or purchase some living materials, and give themselves a holiday, will choose Wanglei City.
