"You know?" Andre looked at Lin Fei with some surprise.

Lin Fei has been in this world for many years, and he has lived in Andory City in the Kingdom of Hedris for nearly three years, Andory City is a coastal city, and it is also an extremely commercially developed city, and it is the end point of the eight-thousand-mile-long Lena River, so Lin Fei also knows a lot about the legend of this river.

"I know a little bit about it."

Lin Fei glanced at Andre and said in his heart, "You have too little knowledge as a vampire who is several times older than me, right?"

Andre seemed to understand Lin Fei's eyes, his face was slightly red, this is not to blame him, although he is a dark creature, he is not interested in learning, anyway, life is long, pleasure is the most important, and the country of the moon where he was originally located is too far away from the kingdom of Pablos, if it weren't for him looking for his fiancée this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come here by trekking through mountains and rivers, and still living a life of drunken dreams and deaths in the country of the moon.

Lin Fei said, "Have you heard the legend of the hydra snake Hydra?" ”

Andre was shocked and said: "I have heard of this, it is said that Hydra is a giant snake with nine heads, it is an extremely evil existence, cutting off one head, it will grow nine heads, it is an existence that cannot be killed at all." Why does this mythical beast in the river have anything to do with Hydra? ”

"Of course it does. In many temples and regional legends, Hydra is described as an extremely evil being. And it has an immortal body, and even the gods can't kill it. But this is not the case with the legend of Hydra in the three kingdoms of the lower Lennar. ”

The three kingdoms that Lin Fei mentioned were the Kingdom of Pablos, the Principality of Riley, and the Kingdom of Hydoris.

"How do you hear what you mean, like this Hydra is good?" Andrei wondered.

"I don't know if it's a good class, after all, I haven't seen it, but in the legends about Hydra in the Three Kingdoms, it does say that it is a good class, a divine beast." Lin Fei said: "Although there are some differences in the legends of the Three Kingdoms, most of them are similar, the legend has that in ancient times, floods often occurred in the lower reaches of the Lena River, and under the floods, no matter what intelligent creatures could not survive, so a goddess came, she woke up Hydra who was sleeping in the dreamy water, and ordered it to solve the flood. But this flood is not simple, the source is a powerful demonic beast water rhinoceros. The water rhino is capable of manipulating water, and has indestructible sharp horns and unbreakable skin. So Hydra fought with the rhino for seven days and seven nights, although it was immortal, but it was gradually no match for the rhino, and finally it came up with an idea, and used its sharp teeth to bite off the horns of the rhinoceros, and used the horns of the rhinoceros to break its skin and kill the rhinoceros. Since then, the flooding of the Lena River has been greatly reduced. So the people along the Lena River regarded Hydra as a sacred beast, and they would sacrifice it almost every year, and endowed it with a lot of divinity. ”

Andrei suddenly said, "This is indeed different from the legends I have heard, and the legends I know about Hydra are all evil. There is also no legend that it solves the flood. But there's one thing I'm curious about. ”

"What are you curious about?"

André wondered, "Who is the legendary goddess who awakened Hydra?" ”

Lin Fei smiled: "It depends on the place." ”

"Depends on the place?" Andrei was a little puzzled again.

At this time, Ron took a puff of cigarette and said: "If this legend is in the kingdom of Pablos, then the goddess who awakens it is the goddess of the earth, Herard. If it is within the territory of the Duchy of Riley, then the goddess who awakens it is Helena, the goddess of wisdom. If it is in the kingdom of Hydoris, then the goddess who awakens it is Filnath, the goddess of luck. ”

"The legend is the same, but the god who awakens it is different?" Andrei was stunned.

After all, the gods of the three kingdoms are different, so the legends of each kingdom are naturally based on the goddess of each kingdom's faith. But then Andre had some malicious speculation, if the legend awakened it was a male god, I don't know how the people of these three kingdoms would preach it.

"But after all, legends are just legends, and these people don't know the truth of the legend and go to pray for the protection of the divine beast, and spend so much energy, isn't this a stupid act?"

Andrei felt that it was foolish to go out of his way for such illusory things.

"Although the legend is just a legend, this situation has been going on for thousands of years, and for the people who live on the edge of this river, this kind of sacrifice is not necessarily very religious, it is probably more like a continuation of the tradition, and I think that these people who worship Hydra today did not actually expect to get a response from Hydra, most of them just asked for peace of mind." Lin Fei hit the nail on the head.

Hearing Lin Fei say this, Ron couldn't help but glance at Lin Fei. He didn't expect Lin Fei to have such insight at such a young age.

Andre said angrily: "Since you don't ask for divine beasts, wouldn't it be better to have this time and work hard to fish to improve your life?" ”

Lin Fei said: "This kind of festival has become a traditional behavior, and it is also a kind of entertainment, which can make people get a moment of rest from the pressure of that heavy life, what's wrong with this?" And how do you know that at other times they didn't make the effort to fish? ”

Although Andre is much older than Lin Fei, he is not as good as Lin Fei in terms of eloquence, and he can't argue with Lin Fei, so he can only leave in a huff.

Lin Fei chatted with Ron for a few words and then went to visit the merchant who chartered the merchant ship.

The owner of this merchant ship is called Cohen, a merchant from the city of Andory, forty years old, and he does not look too old in appearance, but very rich.

When Cohen saw Lin Fei come forward, he hugged him and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Feilin, did you sleep well last night?" ”

Lin Fei smiled and said, "I slept well." I'm sorry to visit you so late. ”

Lin Fei and Cohen know each other, and the two have crossed paths in Andory City, and their relationship is not bad. A few days ago, they met in Kaifeng City, when Cohen invited Lin Fei to leave the Kingdom of Pablos with him.

Originally, Lin Fei didn't plan to trouble this Cohen, but seeing that the merchant ships in Kaifeng City were all chartered out, he had no choice but to turn to Cohen for help. Cohen was busy counting the goods, and although he let Lin Fei get on the ship, he didn't have time to greet Lin Fei.

It's been two or three days on the ship, and Lin Fei has been recovering from his injuries, so he didn't have time to visit Cohen, and today he finally came.

"It's not too late, it's not too late!" Cohen hurriedly said: "Actually, it's also my reason, because it should have been me going to visit my husband." In Adority, I never had time to thank Mr. Filin, and if it weren't for Mr. Fillin, I would never have seen my daughter. ”

Lin Fei's heart moved, and he asked, "Is Miss Xiwei okay lately?" ”

"Sylvie is now studying in the Kingdom of Malton. I have returned from the kingdom of Malton this time, and she has repeatedly told me to go and see you when I return to the city of Andory, and she has asked me to bring you some gifts. Cohen hurriedly took out two things from his carry-on box and handed them to Lin Fei.

When Lin Fei saw these two things, he remembered the girl Xiwei he met three years ago. Three years ago, his first job in Adorie City was as a bodyguard for the girl.

At that time, Cohen offended some people, and some people wanted to kidnap his daughter, Lin Fei solved these people for Cohen, and also taught Xiwei some martial arts cultivation methods that did not belong to this world. After a few months of calm, Lin Fei stopped serving as Xiwei's bodyguard and opened a shop in Andory City, where Xiwei frequented Lin Fei's shop.

Half a year ago, Xiwei left Andory, and before leaving, she told Lin Fei that she was going to the Kingdom of Malton to learn alchemy. The reason for learning alchemy is also because of Lin Fei. Because she found that Lin Fei often read some books about alchemy, she made up her mind to learn alchemy.

Cohen handed Lin Fei a delicate monoculars and a delicate silver pocket watch, and said with a smile: "This is what I brought to you from Sivito, this thing is called a clairvoyant mirror, which can see extremely distant scenery." As for the other pocket watch, Mr. Filin should have seen it. ”

Lin Fei's heart warmed and put away these two things.

Cohen was extremely happy to see Lin Fei accept these two things, and said with a smile: "Xiwei said that Mr. Fei Lin likes to see the starry sky, so I asked me to hand over this clairvoyant mirror to you, as for the meaning of this pocket watch, Mr. Fei Lin should know." ”

Lin Fei was able to guess the meaning of the pocket watch that Xiwei gave him, probably reminding Lin Fei not to forget her because of the passage of time, but a delicate girl.

After talking to Cohen, Lin Fei returned to the cabin.

The sky was getting dark, there were thousands of lights in the distance, many ships gradually gathered, heading towards the port, Andre saw the lights of the city, his eyes were full of anticipation, and he returned to the cabin and called Lin Fei out.

But at this time, several ships came out of the harbor and headed for all the merchant and cargo ships.

A short time later, a young man in silver armor came aboard the ship with a large number of soldiers. As soon as he got on the boat, he shouted, "Who is the captain?" ”

Ron walked out.

The young man glanced at Ron and said, "Gather everyone on the boat." We're going to inspect the cargo to see if you're carrying any contraband. ”

Ron didn't dare to resist, so he called out everyone, including the sailors and the caravan's guards.

The young officer walked through the crowd with an oil lamp in his hand, and when he saw Andrei with a cloak, he frowned and said sharply: "Who are you?" So tightly wrapped? Is it a spy of another country? ”

Seeing that this officer dared to scold himself, Andrei's eyes showed a trace of anger, he was a dark creature with a long lifespan, and often fed on humans, humans were nothing more than his food, being scolded by humans, and feeling that his pride was provoked.

As for why Lin Fei was able to reprimand or even abuse him, it was because Lin Fei was not an ordinary person in his eyes.

Creatures of darkness are more of a predator.

When he was about to get angry, Lin Fei suddenly removed his cloak and smiled at the officer: "This person is my friend, he and I have just come to the Principality of Riley, it is inevitable that we don't know the rules of the Principality of Riley, and please don't blame us." ”

The officer saw Andrei's appearance, nodded slightly, and approached the cabin with a few soldiers. A few minutes later, the group came out of the cabin.

"There is no problem with the goods, you will go to register and report after you enter the port."

So the group got out of the boat and sailed for the other ships in their own boats. When Cohen saw them leave, he ran to the hold where the cargo was hoarded to inspect them.

Everyone else dispersed, except for the captain who frowned slightly at the city not far away.

Lin Fei walked up to Ron's side and said with a smile, "What's wrong?" Mr. Ron? Do you feel that something is wrong? ”

Ron nodded: "There is something wrong, usually only after entering the port, someone will come on the ship to inspect the goods, but today is an exception for those who came to inspect without entering the port." ”

Lin Fei said: "Maybe it's a change in the rules, right?" Maybe there are some new rules in the Duchy of Riley. Maybe this is to prevent some merchants from evading taxes? ”

Ron thought about it and felt that what Lin Fei said made some sense, so he didn't think much about it.

The ship docked, André couldn't wait to get off the ship, and after checking his identity at the checkpoint of the port, he entered this romantic city, and on the street about two blocks away from the port, he closed his eyes and opened his arms, feeling the breath of this romantic city.

After feeling it for a moment, André prepared to look for the tavern.

At this time, two tall young men came to Andrei. One of them smiled good-naturedly and said, "My name is Bam, this gentleman!" ”

"My name is Bart!"

Bam said, "This gentleman looks like he just came to Dent City, right?" Would you like to exchange some Riley coins? ”

Andrei frowned and said, "I don't need to!" ”

"No, no, no, this gentleman, you must know that only Riley gold coins can be circulated in the Duchy of Riley now, and gold coins from other countries cannot be circulated in the Duchy of Riley. If you use gold coins from other countries to spend in Dent City, you don't have any purchasing power at all, you know? ”

Andre was stunned, a little suspicious: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true!" The two young men sang and turned Andre around.

When Lin Fei saw such a scene, he didn't go up to stop it, but just stood in the distance and looked at the city, feeling the breath of the city.

As for whether Andre will be deceived, that's for sure, because those two people are liars in Lin Fei's eyes, and it is true that as these two young men said, gold coins from other countries cannot be circulated in the Duchy of Riley. But it is not as serious as it is said, although it is officially banned, but after all, gold is a hard currency, even if it does not have national attributes, it is also a precious metal. Therefore, among the people, gold coins from other countries can still be circulated. It's just that the value or purchasing power of gold coins will vary depending on the amount of gold, but he knows that Andre is a dark creature, and he is not worried that he will lose.

Andre thought about it and felt that although he had never heard of such a rule in other countries, after all, this was the Duchy of Riley, and the rules should be different, and he had a lot of gold coins, so it would not be good if he couldn't spend them here, so he asked, "How to exchange Riley gold coins?" ”

The two young men looked at each other, and Bam asked, "Which country are your gold coins from?" ”

"Gold in the Land of the Moon!"

"The Land of the Moon?" The two of them looked suspicious, they didn't seem to have heard of this country, but then Bart said, "Take it out first, let's see how it is!" ”

Andrei fumbled around his waist for a moment and pulled out a golden gold coin.

The two of them nodded when they saw the gold coin, and a bright knife suddenly appeared in Bam's hand, and he stabbed Andre, and Bart touched Andre's waist directly, pulled through the money bag, and ran into the distance.

The collaboration between the two has been seamless.

These two people first saw that Andrei seemed to be a foreigner, so they came to test with words, first reported their names, lowered the vigilance of others, and then tried to see how much money Andrei could bring, if Andrei brought less money, I am afraid they would not do anything, but when they saw the money bag on Andrei's waist, they did not talk nonsense, and directly moved their hands.

You know, the purchasing power of gold coins in this world is not small, and there are more silver coins or copper coins in this world, and it is obvious that these two people cannot have the ability to exchange for large gold coins, but Andre simply did not find out.

After Bam stabbed André a few times, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Because under normal circumstances, if that person is stabbed, he will definitely lose his strength and fall to the ground. But the man in front of him was still standing after he stabbed him a few times.

Looking up, Bam saw a pair of blood-red eyes.

"You?" Bam was a little frightened.

Andre opened his mouth and a stream of cold air erupted, obviously very angry.

"I'm not going to kill you, you kind of garbage doesn't deserve to be by me, but you're going to die a miserable death."

Bam tried to break free, but suddenly realized that the man had grabbed his shoulders like iron hoops, making it impossible for him to break free. The fear in my heart grew stronger.

Andrei's eyes flashed red, and he let go.

When Bam saw that he was let go, he was overjoyed, and he had no thoughts of continuing to stab people and was about to flee, but at this time he found that his body seemed to be controlled by others, and he was not controlled by himself at all.

Bam was so frightened that he could only watch as he approached the crowd with a knife.

Although the sky was dark, there were still lights on the side of the road. Some of the people saw Bam with his knife lit up and immediately exclaimed, and surrounded Bam.

A sinister smile appeared on Bam's face, then he picked up the knife, stretched out his left hand, and cut it down, directly cutting off his left hand.

The pain nearly knocked Bam unconscious, and he felt death coming, his uncontrolled right hand slashing into his eyes.

Seeing such a bloody scene, some timid citizens were frightened and fled, some went to report the law enforcement team patrolling nearby, and the rest of the people looked at Bam with shocked faces.

The eye is gouged out, and Bam begins to cut the flesh from his body.

Hearing a whistle in the distance, Bam stabbed himself in the heart with a quick blow, and then died with a whimper.
