Chapter 208: Giving Clothes
At the gate of the wind-blown sand city, there is a lot of traffic.
The city gate is very large, there is a width of nearly ten zhang, the height is about twelve zhang, the left side enters the city, the right side goes out of the city, it is about a hundred zhang away from the city gate, it is an official road parallel to the city wall, leading to the north and south, most of these people who enter the city come from the north and south.
Old men pushing carts, warriors leading mounts, men and women, old men and children, all kinds, the jingling of bells is the most common accessory for the women of the Narach people, who are the name of the Alice race, who have lived in the Loess Heath for generations.
Gradually approaching this ancient city, Zhu Wencai felt more and more shocked, ancient vicissitudes, huge.
Zhu Wen blended in the crowd, as the crowd gradually walked towards the city, his skin color did not look very eye-catching here, because there are many people with white and tender skin in the entire Wind and Sand City, Wind and Sand City is undoubtedly a huge city, Zhu Wen is only the tip of the iceberg now, according to Alice, there are more than two million people in the entire Wind and Sand City, most of which are Narah people who have lived here for generations, and a small part are all foreign population, people of this color like Zhu Wen are not uncommon.
Alice also said that Wind and Sand City is a very famous city in the Loess Wasteland, it is east of the Red Mourning Wasteland, very close to the tears of death, and a hundred miles away from its south, is the Grass and Trees Plain, the name of the Grass and Trees Plains sounds very comfortable, but in fact it is full of dangers, powerful monsters, fierce birds are infested in it, and the most famous green tree forest is in the northernmost part of the grass and wood plain.
In other words, leaving from Wind and Sand City and heading all the way to the south, as long as you enter the range of the Grass and Wood Plain, it is equivalent to entering the range of the Aoki Forest.
The Aoki Forest is all-encompassing, and most of the known monsters and brute beasts in this world can be seen in the Aoki Forest, and the deeper you walk, the stronger the beasts you encounter. There are even evil creatures that hunt wild beasts in the Aoki Forest. Exchange fur and scale armor for money.
Although Fengsha City is located in the Loess Wasteland, it is the closest big city to the Aoki Forest, and it has become the largest supply point for hunters in the past, and the population is very mobile.
Zhu Wen followed the crowd. I also saw a few humans with a similar skin color to myself, in fact, Zhu Wen's skin color was not simply white, because he was not white, but yellow, Alice said that she had seen people who were whiter than Zhu Wen. That's really ugly.
Zhu Wen estimated that the skin color of those people should be the same as those of the white people on the earth.
Zhu Wen never said anything about the aesthetics of the Nalahe people, but just quietly slandered in his heart, in the eyes of the Nalahe people, only their brown skin can be called good-looking, and everything else can be described as ugly.
On either side of the gate stood two rows of guards, dressed in iron armor. Hold a spear. He stood with a blank face, his eyes constantly scanning the passing crowd, and on the wall behind them, there were many wanted notices.
Suddenly, a total of eighteen guards standing on the left side suddenly stood upright, and the spears in their hands smashed the ground. Then one of the guards stepped forward and bowed slightly in respect. "Welcome, brave hunter. I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to know your name."
Zhu Wen, who was moving towards the city, subconsciously tensed up when the guards stood upright, but after the guard took a step forward and spoke, Zhu Wen's body relaxed.
Following the guard's gaze, Zhu Wen glanced down at his body, and immediately understood, and bowed slightly to the guard with the same etiquette, put one hand in front of his abdomen, and said softly: "Richard? Weiz. ”
This kind of etiquette is the etiquette used by strangers when they have a formal conversation for the first time, which is what Natasha told Zhu Wen, in order to prevent him from making a fool of himself when talking to people after entering the city, which is impolite behavior, although you don't do what others won't say, but in the end, the other party will still dislike it in their hearts.
Just now, Zhu Wen has been wondering why when he blends into the crowd, someone will always look at him, and he will show a respectful look, but now he is relieved, it should be the reason for his petal skirt, they did not cast a disdainful look because of their disheveled clothes, but were very respectful.
Necromantic fish are not difficult to kill, the real problem is that the place where necromantic fish haunt is the middle part of the Lake of Tears of Death, where there are many monsters, and all of them are extremely fierce, that water area is not something that ordinary hunters can go to, it can be said to be extremely dangerous.
Therefore, killing a spirit fish requires not only strength, but also courage, there are many people who try to kill the dead spirit fish every year, but there are really few who can really bring back the flower on its head.
The people of this world worship the strong and respect the brave, and killing the necromantic fish means punishing these defecting creatures instead of the god of death, which will be praised by the people, so the current scene was born.
"Dear Mr. Howard, welcome to Windblown Sand." With that, the guard retreated to his place and stood upright.
Zhu Wen nodded to him and walked towards the city.
"Hello, Dear Mr. Hunter, we have some good food and wine here, please inside."
"Hello sir, we have a good room here, come to us"
"Dear sir, come and see these candies, they are sweet and delicious."
Zhu Wen walked inside with the bustling crowd, and people on both sides of the street would greet Zhu Wen from time to time, looking at the strange petal skirt on Zhu Wen's waist, they all showed respectful expressions and were very enthusiastic.
From time to time, Zhu Wen would pass by hunters with weapons, most of the hunters nodded to Zhu Wen, showing a friendly smile, of course, there were some who raised their heads high, or did not squint, or sneered at Zhu Wen's dress, and even showed a look of disgust.
Zhu Wen knew that they were jealous.
"Respectable Sir, please wait a moment, Honorable Mr. Hunter, wait." Zhu Wen was walking towards the city, observing the delicacy around him, and understanding the customs here, when suddenly a few shouts came from behind Zhu Wen.
Zhu Wen subconsciously looked back, and now a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy was running in his direction waving his arms.
This person seemed to have come to find Zhu Wen, and Zhu Wen waited for him. When the boy ran closer, Zhu Wen immediately spoke: "Looking for me?"
"Dear Mr. Hunter." The boy bowed down to Zhu Wen, and then said excitedly: "I'm Suo Suo." It's the guy at the poplar ready-to-wear store. The little boy pointed back, and Zhu Wen followed the direction he pointed and saw the sign of the poplar clothing store, and it was a very large shop, and the whole building was as high as five floors. The width has reached more than 30 zhang, and Zhu Wen has not seen a few of them along the way.
"It was our boss who asked me to give this dress to you, and our boss said that you must have broken the clothes while hunting and killing the spirit fish, and she said you need this." Suoso said. With his right hand, he took out a box from behind him, then held the box with both hands, lowered his head and stretched out his arms, and said, "Please take it."
Zhu Wen glanced in the direction of the poplar garment store again, and saw a woman standing on the steps in front of the poplar garment store, although she was only wearing a bib and shorts, but the fabric was extremely luxurious, and she wore a string of exquisite gold ornaments on her wrists and ankles. The same is true for the ears and neck. Zhu Wen couldn't tell her age, and she couldn't even see her appearance clearly, because she had a veil on her face, which made her face hazy.
Zhu Wen looked at her, she also looked at Zhu Wen, and bowed slightly to Zhu Wen from afar. A salute to Zhu Wen.
Zhu Wen also returned the salute, and then took the beautiful-looking box from the hand of the boy named Suosuo.
"It is an honour for Soso, sir, to speak with you. Soso went first. The little boy said, and saluted Zhu Wen again. Then he turned around and ran towards the ready-to-wear store.
"Hey......" Zhu Wen still wanted to ask him something, but he didn't expect the little boy to run away as soon as he slipped away, Zhu Wen was helpless, turned around with the box and continued to walk towards the center of the city, he had a new understanding of the humanities and customs here, the people here really respect warriors and hunters, and they didn't expect that even such a thing as giving clothes for nothing could be born.
The reason why Zhu Wen took the clothes was because he didn't know whether refusal would have a bad effect, and what the consequences would be if he refused the kindness of others, he didn't know either, and he really needed clothes now.
He didn't want to come out of the temple naked, or he might be taken away by the guards and thrown into prison.
Zhu Wen didn't take a few steps, but he didn't expect the little boy named Suo Suo to run over again.
"Dear Sir, please wait." The boy ran to Zhu Wen's side out of breath.
Zhu Wen turned to look at the little boy: "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry sir, Suo Suo was so happy just now, I forgot the boss's explanation, and I haven't asked Mr. for his name yet." Suo Suo looked at Zhu Wen excitedly.
"Richard? Weiz. Zhu Wen said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Richard, for Soso to go." As soon as the little boy bowed to Zhu Wen and was about to leave, Zhu Wen immediately stopped him: "Wait."
"How do I get to the temple? I've just arrived in Stormy Sand City, so I'm not very familiar with it. Just now, Zhu Wen wanted to stop him and ask this question, but unfortunately this kid ran too fast.
"Temple?" Suo Suo looked up behind Zhu Wen and stretched out his hand: "That is the temple."
Zhu Wen turned around and followed the direction he pointed, and saw an extremely tall building, the building was all red, a hundred zhang high, a cylinder, and the temple stood out in the wind and sand city where the average height of the house was less than five zhang.
"That's it, I thought it was a chimney." Zhu Wen whispered, turned back to Suo Suo and said, "Thank you Suo Suo, I know."
"Sir is polite, if there is nothing to do, Suo Suo will go."
"Go, go, go."
…………………………
In a quiet alley, a man in a petal skirt walked in with a box in his hand, and after a while the man walked out with the box in his hand, dressed in the traditional clothes of the Narakh men, shorts and sleeveless shorts.
The clothes are very exquisite, they are also embroidered with the pattern of Dragon Quest, and in the corners of the costume, gold silk is also embroidered, and the color of the clothes and pants is white, Zhu Wen touched the clothes and pants, there is a silk texture on the surface, but it is very thick.
Compared with what Alice was wearing, this suit was a world of difference, but the only feeling for Zhu Wen was not how good the clothes were, but how hot they were, he really didn't know how the Narah people endured such high temperatures, and they had lived here for generations, and they were actually wearing such thick clothes, Zhu Wen wanted to take off this clothes now, but he couldn't do it.
The more you walk, the fewer people there are. Gradually, I couldn't see the crab man's pawns and the crowd coming and going, but Zhu Wenxian's soldiers became more. Every once in a while, he would encounter a patrol, and according to the guidance of the big red "chimney", Zhu Wen finally came to the temple.
It was a huge chimney-shaped building, painted red all over. There is only one door, no windows, which ...... It can only be said that it really looks like a chimney.
Zhu Wen tidied up his clothes, and he looked very solemn, because after entering the temple. He will see the most mysterious group of people in the world, the sacrifice in Alice's mouth, the sacrifice has been deified, saying that they were blessed by the gods as soon as they were born, they are the messengers of the gods, they walk the world in place of the gods, punish the evil and promote the good, they can go to heaven and earth almost anything.
After listening to Alice's words, Zhu Wen had to pay attention to the sacrifice. Although from Alice's words. Zhu Wen could hear that she had a blind respect for the sacrifice, so it was inevitable that the words she said would have a sleeve-length component, but even if it was exaggerated, the ability of the sacrifice was estimated to be not too bad, and the symbol of divine power during the sacrifice was the reason why Zhu Wen attached great importance to it.
"What for?" When Zhu Wen walked to the door of the temple. Two guards blocked Zhu Wen's way.
"I'll take the prize." Zhu Wen opened the box as he spoke, and curled blood-red flowers emerged from the inside of the box. It was the flower-like organ on the head of the necromantic fish, and Zhu Wen didn't want to attract onlookers anymore. Only then did he put it in the box, and when he did this, it was really much better, passers-by no longer cast special glances at him, and did not pay too much attention to him, only occasionally, there would be poor people who envied Zhu Wen's luxurious clothes.
"Please" After the guard saw it, he put up the spears that crossed together, said to Zhu Wen, and at the same time pushed open the door of the temple with a wave of his hand.
Zhu Wen glanced inside, behind the door was a long corridor, the light inside was a little dim, and at the end of the corridor was a one-step building, leading straight to the top.
Zhu Wen straightened his clothes again, nodded to the two guards, and walked in.
