Carissa's words were just the right reminder of Kenmore's purpose, and he looked up at the sun at his head, frowning slightly.

Turning his head to look at the carriage, the brown steed that had pulled the cart earlier had already bled under Soldak's spell, and was dying.

As for the horse's life or death, Dalanier didn't care too much. Originally, the identity of this groom was used by Dalanier to hide people's eyes and ears and avoid the pursuit of Soldak. Now that Soldaq has been killed by Kalisa, there is no need for him to hide his identity.

Naturally, the carriage could not sit down, and Kenmore and Mihart simply took stock of the contents of the carriage and left it in the wilderness.

Carissa and Dalaniel exchanged a few words, and when they saw that the two of them had finished tidying up, they unhurriedly drew seven peculiar symbols in the air, which emitted a faint and ethereal sound, and the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple rays slowly flowed out from them, intertwined and intertwined, and formed a pattern similar to a seven-pointed star.

Carissa stomped her foot, and the seven-pointed star pattern was magnified a full threefold, enveloping the four of them. She whispered the incantation, and the seven brilliant rays of light became more and more dazzling, and everyone couldn't help but reach out and cover their eyes.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Mihart counted silently in his mind.

When everyone opened their eyes again, the mist-shrouded mountains, the corpse-strewn basins, and the silently burning embers were all gone.

In front of them, there was already a huge arch!

The old stone wall is slightly damaged, and time has mercilessly carved mottled marks on its body, but it has not diminished its * in the slightest.

The arch is ten meters high at the apex and more than twenty meters wide, and the stone pillars on both sides are hung with the flags of the Baiman territory, which seems to be the symbol of the Baiman City - it is a portrait of a horse's head looking straight away from the right side, with strong and bulging tendons on the neck, erect ears, and a resolute gaze looking ahead.

Baiman City has a history of thousands of years since its completion, and it is an out-and-out Duosaik city, and the population of the city, except for other tribes who came to trade, are all blonde-haired Duosaike people nine times out of ten.

The first book Miquette read was The General History of the Empire.

According to the book, this continent of Tamriel was once inhabited by the common ancestors of the existing races in ancient times, the ancestors.

Volume I, Chapter 3 -

In order to adapt to the climate and geographical environment, after a long evolution, the ancestors who lived in different parts of the continent of Tamriel had a very regional talent - the arid desert and the Gobi in the west honed the brave and skilled Fengshan, the primeval forests and the rift valleys and lakes smashed by meteorites in the east gave the Brightons a unique affinity for magic, and the mineral deposits and pleasant climate of the southern hills gave birth to the imperial people with both martial arts and magical talents.

Volume II, Chapter 1 -

After such a natural division, the appearance, physique, and even language of the three different ethnic groups have undergone subtle changes. After a long period of peace, the three races recuperated in their respective territories, and finally a conflict arose - the continent of Tamriel's natural resources, which had been oversupplied, gradually became overstretched as the population grew.

In order to survive and reproduce, the Windspawn broke out of the desert, the Brightons out of the forest, and the Imperial people stepped out of the hills, and they aimed at the heart of the plains in the middle of the continent, and raised their butcher's knives against their compatriots in antiquity.

Volume II, Chapter VIII -

The war of the ancestors has entered a white-hot stage, the central plain is strewn with corpses, and the water of the White River is even dyed red. Unbeknownst to the ancestors, the Duosaiks had crossed the Trembling Sea from the far north and settled at the northernmost tip of the continent of Tamriel.

The years of survival and breeding in the howling cold winds of the Far North have given the Duo Saiks a natural resistance to the cold that their ancestors did not have, and a strong adaptability to the bitter cold environment, and they have built the Winter Embrace City in the northern ice fields of the untouched continent of Tamriel!

Volume III, Chapter 4 -

Also due to the lack of resources, there was a split within the Duosaik race, and the younger generation of Duoseks decided to go south and deep into the hinterland. At this time, the war of the ancestors was nearing its end.

Volume IV, Chapter 5 –

All three races showed their abilities in the Great War.

The Windspawn rely on their strong physique, tricky martial arts, and ingenious weapons and armor; the Brightons rely on their powerful magic, mysterious enchanted weapons, and alchemical potions to aid in battle; the Imperial people are not as talented in martial arts as the Windspawns, and their magical abilities are not as good as those of the Brightons, but they have relatively high-quality weapons and superb blacksmiths; and a small number of strong people who have cultivated both magic and martial arts, skillfully combine martial arts and magic, and shine in battle.

Volume V, Chapter 1 -

In this three-year-long race war, the Imperials finally won by a narrow margin. But just as they were cheering and preparing to divide up the rich Central Plains, they encountered alien races from the north to the south.

Duo Saik is a strong man, with an average IQ above that of the three clans of their ancestors, and as they age, so does the resistance to magic in their blood.

How could the Empire, though they had suffered a great deal of strength in the civil war, willingly give up the fruits of their victory? A war between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out, and the remnants of the Empire were taken by surprise by the mighty Duoseks! In desperation, the Empire had no choice but to send emissaries to negotiate with the defeated two clans, and make some concessions before they were able to get reinforcements.

The three races reunited and formed the Ancestral Alliance. However, due to the fact that the three races had already formed a bitter bond in the civil war, the first coalition army was discouraged and war-weary, and barely managed to settle for a tie with the Duoseks. An armistice was signed between the two sides, and the Central Plains had added one of the strongest races of the post-war period to the carve-up list: the Duo Secks.

Volume VI, Chapter 2 -

With the help of the White River, which originates in the Nukas Mountains in the southwest of the continent, the Duosaik people built the White Man City in the place where the White River flows. Although the Duosaiks were brave and warlike, they were kind-hearted and peace-loving. The compromises of the ancestors won the friendship of the aliens, and they were grateful, and instead of claiming hegemony, they recognized the victory of the coalition and embraced the rule of the Empire. The Imperials built Obsidian City and Blackwater City in the southern part of the Central Plains, the Winddives built Sand City and Yar City at the junction of the Western Desert and the Central Plains, and the Brightons, the smallest number, only built Polar Star City on the edge of the primeval forest in the east and established the Academy of Magic.

Volume VI, Chapter 4 -

The continent of Tamriel was unified, the imperial Chinese language was changed to the continental lingua franca, the golden city of Liyao was the imperial capital of Tamriel, and the lord of the golden city was the supreme king of Tamriel. Although the people of each realm obeyed their lords, obeyed their own laws, and had full autonomy, they still looked down on the supreme king.

That's probably the history of the empire. However, in the book "Tracing the Origin of Duo Sek", the history of the ancestors of Duo Sek from setting foot on the continent of Tamriel to the establishment of Baiman City is recorded in more detail -

In ancient times, our ancestors crossed the Trembling Sea to Tamriel, and the earliest place to settle after the ship broke down was what is now Dongyong City.

It's too far north and it's on the coast, so it's a cold and humid climate, with overcast skies and snowflakes.

Their ancestors were almost exhausted, but they were still resilient and decided to settle here, and their extreme ability to withstand the cold gave them the capital to fight against the harsh climate.

In winter, the cold air of the skulls and the cold wind of the skulls are pervasive, even the soil layer underground, and in the far north, although the temperature is low, there is no wind all year round, and naturally there is no snow. Therefore, although the land is barren, it is barely able to cultivate.

Over time, our ancestors came to realize that the crops and livestock they relied on for survival did not have our blood in them—the crops were greatly limited by the permafrost, and the harvest was drastically reduced, and the livestock were not fed, and they were languishing and curling up all day long, and soon died one after another.

In the bitter cold of the snow, the labor required to build a city is undoubtedly terrifying. This formidable race is subject to the forces of nature, and its numbers begin to slowly decline. The mighty ancestors of Duosec did not die on the battlefield, not by the sword of the enemy, not by the heavy labor of building the city, but by starvation in the shelter they were building!

According to the custom of our people in the far north, the deceased should return to the bosom of the earth. But in the winter embrace, those warriors who were so hungry that their stomachs were shriveled that they were even buried until the wind and snow stopped and the land thawed, and their souls could sleep peacefully with the burial of their bodies!

Under the relentless cold, in the howling wind, the winter embracing city is still built!

Even though it had been raining for nine months!

After the completion of the construction of Dongyong City, there was no imaginary joy.

There was no indulgent cheering, no singing and dancing, not even a small celebration.

Patriarch Yelman simply announced that night that the city was built and that we had a home.

At dawn the next day, the patriarch Yerman gathered all the people and said, "I think even if I don't say it, everyone knows what I think." Our supplies cannot meet the needs of so many people, and I believe everyone here is deeply aware of it.

"In the past nine months, hunger has taken us three hundred and fifty-seven brothers and sisters! Young warriors, instead of waiting for death, it is better to go all the way south and make a few waves, and maybe there is still a way to live! And this city is left to the old men and fledgling children!

"Of course, I will not force you to leave your loved ones behind. On the way south, there may be unknown dangers, unknown races, and of course, people may die. Now, if you follow me voluntarily, go pack up your things and say goodbye to your loved ones with tears!"

Therefore, under the persecution of death and driven by hope, the vast majority of young and strong warriors left the first shelter they built with their own hands to their old and frail parents, left the scarce meat and food to their toddler children, and left their ordinary but stable life to the endless snow!

The warriors traced the lower reaches of the White River, exploring step by step, and finally penetrated into the hinterland of the continent of Tamriel, the Central Plains, when they ran out of ammunition and food!

This was followed by a war with the coalition forces of the previous generations.

Our people dare to charge into battle, and their martial arts talent is on par with that of the Wind Descendants.

Our people have lived in the far north for generations, and have a natural resistance to magic.

Therefore, after the Windborn and Brighton armies joined the Imperial Army, they also had little effect. In addition, the civil war has just ended, the coalition army is tired and war-weary, and the army is discouraged, compared with our ancestors, it is just that it has a greater advantage in numbers.

Eventually, an armistice was reached between our ancestors and the Tamriel natives.

The climate is suitable, there is no snowfall, the difference in elevation between the mountains and the plains brings abundant rain, and the rushing White River has an astonishing amount of runoff and low sediment content, providing sufficient water for crops and livestock, and replacing manpower for large-scale construction work. Some of the turbulent water currents even pull water wheels to meet more needs of people.

The eyes of the ancestors were moist, and the little flashes in their eyes were not tears of exhaustion after the war, but the hope of racial prosperity!

Subsequently, with the help of the water of the White River and various water conservancy facilities, in less than three months, such a magnificent historical city, Baiman, was built by our ancestors!

————————————

Mishart had long dreamed of the city built by his ancestors, and had offered Kenmore to take him on a trip to this place to see its majestic style, but no matter how hard he tried, his father never agreed.

And just five days ago, after Kenmore received the letter, Mihart guessed that his father was probably going away, and when he was thinking about how to ask his father to take him, his father actually asked him to pack his package and prepare to go out.

Destination: The land where the White River flows - White Man City!

The two Duo Sek guards standing by the city gate were tall and mighty, and when they saw the colorful magic light flashing, they immediately stepped forward vigilantly, but they recognized Kalisa and hurriedly stepped back to salute.

Kalisa smiled back, and even saved the registration of outsiders entering the city, and straightforwardly took the three of Mihat into the city.

The two guards hurriedly moved out of the way.

After the four of them walked into the city gate, the two guards glanced at each other, and the guards on the left looked at their backs in a daze, and said, "Just now, those three outsiders don't seem to have registered, right?"

The guard on the right side flashed his eyes and replied, "Those three guys came in with Lord Secret Fire, did you notice that Mr. in cloth clothes? He seems to be very familiar with Lord Secret Fire! Even if they really try to do evil, Lord Secret Fire will solve it with a flick of his fingers, and it won't be our turn to worry!"

The guard on the left nodded, relieved.

......

After entering the city gate, there is a small stone bridge under your feet, which is not as long as a normal "bridge", and it is only a few steps to cross.

The water of the White River squeezed under the bridge, making a gurgling sound on the piers.

The sun poured down on Mihat's neck-length blond hair, giving him a different look.

Dalanier and Kenmore were obviously familiar with the layout of White Mancheng, and the two looked left and right, but their faces were unusually calm.

A blue-robed magician approached her, leaning over and whispering a few words in Kalisa's ear.

Karissa nodded, turned back to the three of them, and said, "Sorry, it's a bit of an emergency, I hope you will wait a while." As soon as he finished speaking, he and the blue-robed mage walked to the road that stretched from the stone bridge to the left.

The two men talked with their cheeks close together and serious expressions. After about half a minute, the blue-robed mage stepped up the stairs of the road on the left and left without looking back.

Karissa turned and pointed in the direction the blue-robed mage had left, and introduced in an orderly manner, "This road is the road leading to the Zephyr Zone. The Japanese wind area is a residential area. Of course, passing through the Zephyr area, you can also reach Beiwangbao, but the road is much more boring. If you're new to the city, we might as well pass through the wilderness area, where the market is full and quite lively. ”

What Kalisa didn't know was that many years later, at the New Year's banquet in Beiwangbao, she had drunk three rounds of wine, holding a wine glass, and secretly sighed: "If it weren't for my own smart enthusiasm and kindness, maybe they wouldn't be so heartbroken now!"

Mihart was delighted in his heart, but his face remained silent, just nodding silently, as if he was waiting for the arrangement.

Kenmore sighed, how could he not know that this kid's face was pretended, but he thought that since he had arrived in Baiman City, it would be a matter of time before he met his old friend, so he was not in a hurry for such a short time, so he didn't say anything.

Dalanier rolled his eyes and agreed: "I happen to have two alchemy materials in my hand and don't have much inventory, so I also stopped by the alchemy shop in the wilderness area to buy them. ”

Carissa led the three of them forward, and several well-dressed Duosaik women, holding baskets of vegetables in one hand and young children in the other, walked from the direction of the wilderness area, talking and laughing.

From the smiles on their faces, it can be seen that life in Bai Mancheng is indeed good.

Not far ahead, on the right side of the road, crouched a small three-story building, with an inconspicuous magical symbol painted on the wooden door, faintly emitting a dim glow in the shade of the eaves.

Mihart thought to himself, if there are people with ill intentions who try to break in, hum, then I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.

Green smoke rose from the chimney on the roof of the hut, and Carissa sensed Mihat's gaze, and turned back and said faintly, "This hut is my property in White Man, and its previous owner named it Shimmer House. I thought the name had a bit of charm, so I just used it. ”

Although this small building has three floors, as the residence of the chief magician of the court, it can be seen that compared with other nobles who love vanity, this Secret Fire Lord is very frugal!

As if she had already seen through Mihat's thoughts, she continued, "Of course, I live in the North Lookout Castle every day, and the lord has provided me with a private laboratory. When I was studying magic there, I rarely went out. So this cottage was left to ......"

Before she could finish her sentence, everyone heard a violent explosion in the three-story building in front of them, which shook the roof violently, and then a thick black smoke poured out of the chimney and flew away.
