Chapter 129: Wind Wolf Castle
Wang Xiaotian explained: "We are about to enter the reserve. There are people coming and going, there are all kinds of people, and I can be in danger at any time. You and the defenders are my trump cards, and of course you can't show them lightly. Therefore hide you. β
Xiao Xing thought about it and felt that what Wang Xiaotian said was very reasonable, so he agreed.
The defender's breastplate opened, Wang Xiaotian jumped out, and then touched the defender's calf and put it into the original crystal space.
The reason why the defender was placed in the Primordial Crystal Space was because after Shi Disheng's incident, Wang Xiaotian deeply felt that this world was full of sinisters. Who knows, will there be a kind of departed wanderer or intermediator who will suddenly pop up again?
Besides, that's not all. What if someone else with bad intentions knocks themselves out, overturns their medicine, or steals everything from them?
Therefore, some important things, such as stabbing swords, equipment, clothing, food and water, and of course, mechas, were placed in the Primordial Crystal space. Even if he is stripped naked, as long as he has the opportunity, he can put on his clothes and equipment, hold his weapon, and calmly kill the pilot's mecha.
Wang Xiaotian put away the defenders, discerned the direction, and rushed towards the place where the sun rose.
The devil's whispering here is very slight, and the damage to the grassland caused by the beast tide has almost recovered, and there are many rabbits, badgers, pheasants, wild sheep, wolves, and wild boars.
Wang Xiaotian guessed that if there were wild beasts, there must be hunters nearby. I just don't know, what is the big building that Xiao Xing detected?
Wang Xiaotian continued to walk east, and soon saw the building. It is a pass building with a strong mid-era, oriental element.
The solid rammed earth city wall, the tall cornices and arch towers, the boxy urn city, and the arrow towers towering at the four corners made Wang Xiaotian feel that he had returned to the middle of the old era in a trance, the era of Jin Ge Iron Horse, and swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.
Wang Xiaotian was feeling emotional, and suddenly found that two people were quietly approaching. The two looked to be in their thirties, only at the third-level Force level, dressed in wolfskin robes, holding bone spears in their hands, and quietly touching them with their waists covered by the grass.
Wang Xiaotian coughed and shouted, "Who is sneaking around there?"
Seeing that Wang Xiaotian had discovered them, the two immediately straightened up, walked two meters in front of Wang Xiaotian, held their spears diagonally, and stared at Wang Xiaotian very carefully. One of them asked, "Who are you, why are you here alone?"
Wang Xiaotian said: "I am a cultivator who came to the Great Wilderness to practice. Because I was separated from my companions and lost in the grassland, I wandered around for several days before I came here. Tell me, where is this?"
The two of them glanced at each other and said, "This is Wind Wolf Castle." β
Wind Wolf Castle? In Wang Xiaotian's mind, the map around him immediately became clear. To the south of Wind Wolf Castle, a few hundred kilometers away, is the tower of the fence system.
However, he thought about one thing, even if he got to the tower, he had to find a way to inquire about the recent events, especially what had happened in the time since he left.
For example, did the rest of the exploration team come back? He and Ye Zhanjian disappeared, what did the people of the exploration team say? Where did all their Xuanjin go? Did anyone look for them later? and so on.
Last time, when they were hiding from the beast tide in the tower, Wang Xiaotian learned from the conversation between Albert and Qian Yuntang that Wind Wolf Castle was a place similar to Red Flame Castle, where merchants from the East and the West frequently exchanged and the information was very smooth.
Moreover, the people of Wind Wolf Castle did not know him (there was a Tuoba Qing who should not be there). Don't worry, it's like when you arrive at Red Flame Castle, you'll be recognized immediately. He can rest assured to inquire about the news here.
So, Wang Xiaotian asked, "I want to rest in the Wind Wolf Castle and replenish some food and water, I don't know if it's okay?"
The two burghers immediately burst into laughter and hurriedly put away their spears
, nodded again and again, and said enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, you are very welcome to go over and consume." β
When Wang Xiaotian heard about consumption, he immediately understood. Wind Wolf Castle is still based on making money, and it is said that Wind Wolf Castle is very difficult to make money. So, he smiled, took out some change from his pocket, handed it to the two of them, and said, "Thank you for your hard work." β
The two took the money and their eyes immediately lit up. This money is thousands at least, although it is not much for Wang Xiaotian, but for the two of them, it can be regarded as a windfall. The two of them nodded hurriedly and led Wang Xiaotian respectfully.
Wang Xiaotian asked as he walked, "I heard that there is a master in your Wind Wolf Castle who participated in the exploration team organized by the two Force Grandmasters?"
The slightly shorter burgader on the left immediately nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, that's the case." He's the big brother of our street. β
"Street?" Wang Xiaotian wondered, what kind of unit is this?
"Yes. We manage the residents in the fort on a street basis. Tuoba Qing and I live on West 3rd Street, and he lives on East 5th Street. β
The taller man hadn't spoken much, and when he heard his companion talk about him, he immediately showed a flattering smile and nodded at Wang Xiaotian.
Wang Xiaotian continued to ask the short man, "So, you and Tuoba Qing should be very familiar?"
"When we were young, we used to play together, but when we grew up, we couldn't climb others. β
Wang Xiaotian secretly wondered, this short burger, did not boast about how familiar he was with Tuoba Qing, but objectively said that he couldn't climb up, but he was a real person, so he asked: "Then does he have any news now?"
The short burglard was stunned for a moment, and said very curiously: "Is there any news?"
Wang Xiaotian immediately realized that he had asked the wrong topic, so he quickly changed his tone and asked, "Has he returned from the expedition?"
The dwarf burger shook his head and said in frustration, "No." According to a big man, the big brother Tuoba Qing encountered an accident during the expedition and went missing. β
"Missing?" Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted. At that time, Zhang Zijing, Hu Minghui and a few of them had discussed, although the creator left Tuoba Qing and Dugu Ying behind, but he did not say that he would never let them come out.
If you tell someone that the two of them are dead now, and they will reappear in the future, how can you explain it? Could it be that the two of them are deceitful corpses? Therefore, the safest way to say at present is that the two are missing. Even if it reappears in the future, it will be able to go back round.
Wang Xiaotian continued to ask: "I have been in the Great Wilderness for a while, has anything happened recently?"
The short burgher thought for a while and said, "Nothing big happened, isn't this the tide of beasts over, there are a lot of business travelers, transporting materials to repair those towers, everyone is busy doing business, and the market is very peaceful." β
"Oh. Wang Xiaotian nodded and asked, "Are those armies and masters of the Eastern Chu Kingdom still here?"
The short burger said: "It is said that it is still there, but we are small people, we can only hear some things on the side of the road, and we don't know how specific it is." β
Wang Xiaotian felt the same, so he said a few words, slowly accelerated his speed, and rushed to Wind Wolf Castle. The two burghers could only keep picking up speed to keep up with him.
Twenty minutes later, Wang Xiaotian walked ahead, and the two burgers followed him breathlessly, all the way into the Wind Wolf Castle unimpeded.
Wind Wolf Castle is very lively, although it can't reach the point of rubbing shoulders one after another, raising sleeves like clouds, sweating like rain, but it is also full of people and traffic. Moreover, there are many caravans from the Canaanite Federation, which are slowly moving outward, one camel after another, spreading for thousands of miles.
Wang Xiaotian was very puzzled, and asked the short fort, "Why are there so many Canaan merchant travelers here?" Why didn't you see them on the way just now?"
The dwarf burghman replied, "These caravans have fixed routes and resting points. Usually after noon and evening, they can reach Stormwolf Castle from the previous location. So, in the morning in the wind
Near Wolfsburg, you can only see the caravan going out, not the incoming caravan. After noon, it's the opposite. β
Wang Xiaotian asked again: "Then where did all these camel caravans that went out of the fort go?"
The dwarf burger said, "There is a part of the caravan full of goods, which is back to the Canaan Federation. There are also some caravans with few goods, which are going to Red Flame Castle. β
When Wang Xiaotian heard Bao Ding talk about Red Flame Castle, his voice was full of envy, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is Red Flame Castle more powerful than Wind Wolf Castle?"
The short castle man pondered for a moment and said, "It's not that Red Flame Castle is much stronger than Wind Wolf Castle. In terms of strength, our Wind Wolf Fort is only stronger than Red Flame Fort. However, many of the goods in Red Flame Castle are scorpion poison (alone), which can naturally be sold at a high price and make a lot of money. β
"And the goods of our Wind Wolf Castle are not so unique, and naturally they can't be sold for a large price, so it's harder to make money. These businessmen of the Canaanite Federation are all snobs, and if they make a lot of money, they must take care of making a lot of money first. β
Wang Xiaotian nodded, feeling that he had almost inquired about what he should have asked, so he said, "Thank you two." I'm looking for a wine shop to rest and rest, but I don't know which one is the best in the castle?"
The short burger and the tall burger glanced at each other and said at the same time, "The old shop of the Huang family." β
Hmm, the royal old store? Wang Xiaotian was surprised. Is there anyone who claims to be royal now? After a while, he realized that he had thought of something wrong. He hurriedly asked, "I don't know where the old Huang family store is?"
The dwarf burghstein pointed ahead and said, "Your Excellency, go ahead, turn right at the first intersection, and you will be there after two blocks." β
Wang Xiaotian heard that the path was very clear, so he said goodbye to the two, and then walked along the street in a hurry.
Seeing Wang Xiaotian walking away, the short burgher and the tall burger glanced at each other, and the short burgherd asked, "Do you think there is a problem?"
The tall burger nodded, "He's so young, and he's alone, and he appeared very close to Wind Wolf Castle early in the morning, where did he come from?"
And he is generous, talks and behaves, neither arrogant nor humble, and at first glance he has experienced strong winds and waves. Such a master actually wants to ask us about things. It means that he must have been away for a while. β
Also, he mentioned Tuoba Qing, and he also mentioned the exploration team, indicating that it should know about it. This matter is very secret, and we would not have known if it hadn't been for the big man who came to the castle to deliver a message to the castle owner. How did he know?"
The short burgerman smiled: "These are nothing, more importantly, his appearance is exactly the same as the person on the bounty issued by the Eastern Chu Kingdom two months ago." The opportunity to make a fortune has arrived. β
The tall burger also nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go, go and tell the castle lord." β
Wang Xiaotian was still leisurely, looking east and west, wandering to the old store of the Huang family, not knowing that his hiding had been guessed through.
The appearance of the old shop of the Huang family is inconspicuous, it is three blue brick faΓ§ade houses, with a large pergola outside, and seven or eight tables under the pergola.
It's about nine o'clock in the morning, just after breakfast, and it's still early for lunch. So under the pergola, except for a few older people, sitting around the table in twos and threes, drinking tea, chatting and playing chess, there was almost no one else.
Wang Xiaotian glanced at the old people, they were all third- and fourth-level elderly cultivators, and they were no threat to him at all. So, he put his mind at ease, found a table where no one was there, sat down, and shouted, "Boss, boss, it's time for business." β
"Hey--", a crisp sound of response came from the room. Immediately after, the curtain was raised, and a slender figure appeared at the door.
Wang Xiaotian was a little familiar when he heard this voice, and couldn't help but turn his head to look over, this look didn't matter, he jumped up directly in shock. And when that slender figure saw Wang Xiaotian, he was also shocked and stayed on the spot!
At this moment, only one sentence echoed in Wang Xiaotian's mind, "This world is really too small!"
