To the east of Luoyang Town, a large area of dwarf forests is settled here, and some villages that make a living by hunting are scattered among them, although it is not far from Luoyang Town, but the appearance is very different from Luoyang Town. The relationship between Mingyue Valley and Luoyang Town should have been the same as the relationship between Zhuling Mountain and Qingyan Town, and then the surrounding villages would also benefit from it, at least not too miserably. But when Canglan actually saw those villages, he realized how wrong he was.

Where there are people, there is good and evil, there is no doubt about it.

Although Bright Moon Valley is not as good as other treasure lands, it still attracts a large number of adventurers. They gamble with their lives and come here for opportunities, probably just to make life better for their families. But there are the kind of people who always want to get something for nothing, they formed their own forces around Mingyue Valley, and lived by robbing adventurers who came and went, which was originally an evil thing, and later it affected the pond fish. As their power grew, they gradually extended their claws to nearby villages.

Because of the rampant bandits, Mingyue Valley and even Luoyang Town are notorious, no one comes here, and naturally there is no way to form a transfer station, and without a transfer station, no one wants to come to such a dangerous place, this has become a vicious circle, and it has not improved until the entry entry for the Yao Ling Festival is announced.

Water rocks are found in various places on the continent, and the same is true for the Flame Leaf Grass that apothecaries need, but there are not many places where these two materials are available at the same time, and Bright Moon Valley is one of them.

Officials in Luoyang Town saw this as an opportunity to spend a lot of money to build a transit station near Mingyue Valley. In order to build the transit station this time, the kingdom even sent an army to assist, and in the face of the kingdom's army, the bandits naturally did not dare to act rashly, and the transit station was completed not long after.

When the transfer station is completed, it will naturally have a name, and some people propose to call it the Silver Moon Transfer Station, but this reputation is too loud for them to afford. Later, it was agreed that this place was called the New Moon Transfer Station, which followed the moon character of Mingyue Valley and also symbolized new life.

Canglan and Ripples set off from Luoyang Town and arrived at the Luoyang Transfer Station at noon the next day.

It has only been a few months since the completion of the Shuoyue transfer station, and the construction is not bad.

With all the necessary facilities in place, it will turn into a large transit station over time. Once the transit station is stabilized and the forces of all parties converge here, the bandits will not be able to do evil easily, but this is only for the adventurers, as long as the bandits are not eradicated for a day, the people here will not be able to live in peace.

Canglan did have something to do when he came to the transit station. Bright Moon Valley is not a peaceful place, and it is inevitable that you will be injured when you enter and exit it, and the potion is particularly important at this time. Walking around, Canglan used the rest of the money on his body to buy medicines, although the quality was average, but there were many good ones, and if something happened, he could still be emergency.

After receiving the potion in the package, Canglan and Ripple had no reason to stay, and prepared to leave the New Moon Transit Station. At this time, a stall owner attracted Canglan's attention, and among the goods that the boss was selling was Shuiyan that Canglan was looking for. Canglan had only seen Shuiyan in books, and out of his instinctive love for ores, although he had no intention of buying it, he still walked to the front of the stall.

"What is the little brother going to sell. "The owner is a middle-aged man who was very welcoming when he saw customers.

"I don't buy it, I just look at it. ”

Hearing that Canglan only looked at it and didn't buy it, the boss was not angry, but began to introduce these things to Canglan. Most of the things sold by this boss are ores, and Canglan naturally knows their characteristics, and he also said more, listening to what the boss said, while observing the water and rocks. This water rock is only a little larger than a fist, and as the book says, it is light blue and very beautiful.

The boss was talking energetically, a group of people came over, and when the boss saw that there were another guests, he stopped the introduction and greeted the guests.

"Guys, you've got something in mind. ”

There were three people who came, dressed in uniform attire. The man at the head had a small hammer pendant around his neck, and Canglan recognized him as a swordsmith.

"How do you sell this water rock?" the man at the head spoke very politely, a bit like Gu Gaofei at that time.

"Water rock is a scarce thing now, selling for 10,000 kuluns. ”

Canglan was shocked, he didn't expect it to be so expensive.

The man didn't care, "Five thousand lines, don't talk nonsense." After saying that, he made a look, and the other two were about to grab the water rock.

The boss panicked all of a sudden, and directly held Shui Yan in his arms, "This can't work, this can't work, this Shui Yan was brought back by my son desperately." ”

Naturally, the two of them ignored what the boss said, and directly snatched the water rock from the boss's arms, and the swordsmith threw a bag of money to the ground.

"Five thousand in total. ”

Seeing this situation, Canglan was furious in his heart, and he came to one of them with an arrow and snatched the water rock.

Seeing Canglan's move, the swordsmith directly drew out the long sword behind him.

"Where did the crumbs come from?"

"The boss hasn't agreed to sell yet, you're robbing. ”

"The little thing doesn't want to live, don't look at who you're talking to, what can you do if I rob you today?" After saying that, the man took his sword and slashed over, but his movements were a little clumsy, Canglan turned sideways slightly, and dodged this attack, and then followed with another kick, kicking the swordsmith to the ground.

Seeing that the boss was beaten, the other two also rushed over with swords, and Canglan was about to fight back, and the guards arrived first. The three of them were also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and when they saw the guards coming, they didn't speak, picked up the bag of money on the stall, put down a cruel word, and ran away in disgrace.

The guards did not chase out, a young officer walked out of the crowd, inquired about the situation, and ordered his subordinates to send more people to patrol, "The Shuoyue transit station has just been built, this kind of thing can't happen, and if someone buys and sells it by force, it will be arrested directly." ”

Canglan handed Shui Yan back to the boss, and the officer comforted the boss a few words, and then came to thank Canglan.

"It's impossible not to help when you see something like this. Canglan said.

"It's not the first time that those people are the people of the Chang family, the president of the Sword Forgers Guild, and they are blessed and powerful. This transit station has just been completed, and if they are allowed to buy and sell like this, they don't have to wait for the bandits to come, and this place will collapse by itself. ”

"Bandits?" Canglan didn't know there were bandits.

"There is a group of bandits around and has harmed a lot of people, and it is because of them that there has been no transit point here. You have to be careful when you leave the transit station, and although it has been somewhat restrained now, I don't think they will rest on their laurels. We are now understaffed, so we can only guard the transit station, and after some time, when the transit station stabilizes, we will definitely go straight to the bandits' lair. ”

The guards dispersed the crowd of people who had gathered around, and the transfer station was calm, and the boss thanked Canglan and took something as a thank you gift. Canglan naturally won't accept it, and after saying goodbye to the boss, he and Ripples set off for Mingyue Valley.

A road has been stepped out between the transfer station and Mingyue Valley, and there are no twists and turns along the way. Halfway through the journey, Canglan turned into a small road, and in the afternoon, the two finally reached the periphery of Mingyue Valley.

In the evening, after eating, Ripple wanted to lie down by the fire and rest, but fell asleep because he was too tired. Canglan didn't wake her up, and sat on the stone to study the map.

It took Canglan a while to determine his location on the map, which was just the periphery of the Bright Moon Valley, and he could already see the mountains in the valley. The map shows that the Bright Moon Creek flows through here.

Compared to the normal road, it is located more upstream, and there are fewer people, so the chance of finding water and rock is much greater. Of course, it's also relatively dangerous, as a monster called Shi Kui haunts the area, which usually looks like a stone, and will attack whenever a creature comes close. Besides, Mingyue Valley is full of stone mountains, especially many stones, and many people have suffered their losses when they come here.

The sky had inadvertently changed its clothes, and the fiery red clouds had vanished, replaced by a bright moon and a little starlight. The moonlight was bright, but Canglan had no intention of looking at the map, and a gust of night wind blew from nowhere, Canglan shivered, and the ripples curled up slightly, which seemed to be a little cold.

The weather has indeed turned cooler, and I have to buy some things for the winter when I get out of Mingyue Valley.

Thinking so, Canglan got up and walked to the fire, took off his coat, covered Ripple slightly, and added some firewood to the fire.

"That's it?" Ripple woke up at some point, sat up, and rubbed his eyes.

"What else?"

"Kiss me or something, I'm asleep anyway, and I won't resist. ”

Canglan didn't reply, looking at the mountains in the distance. I've been looking at the map just now, and I haven't even noticed the beautiful scenery in front of me.

On the stone mountain in front of them, there was light everywhere, faint, not dazzling, and a few bushes did not disturb the scenery, but added a touch of truth to this haze. Maybe it's because of the temperature, Canglan actually feels that all this in front of him is a bit bleak.

"Looking at the mountains in the distance, I wish she would put away the desolation of the land. ”

Canglan remembered Fengchen's travelogue, he had indeed been to Mingyue Valley and stayed for a while.

Maybe it was his books that influenced me. Canglan thought so, and at the same time, a dark shadow in the distance also attracted his attention. Canglan stared at the black shadow for a long time, knowing that the black shadow disappeared into the mountain.

"What are you looking at?"

Ripples didn't know what to run to Canglan's side, and Canglan moved his body.

"There's a man on the hill over there. Canglan pointed to the past, and the ripples didn't look carefully.

"What you can see from afar, you might as well look at me. Ripple draped in Canglan's clothes and leaned his face towards Canglan.

"Look at what you're doing. ”

"Rewarding beauties under the moon is a blessing in the world. ”

Canglan glanced at the ripples, she was indeed beautiful in the moonlight.

"Lucky you, if it weren't for me, you would never have seen such a beautiful person in your life. ”

"Beauty, you can give me back your clothes. ”

"That's not good, you gave it to me yourself. ”

There are ripples along the way, and Canglan does not feel lonely. As for Ripple's motives, Canglan also thought about it and asked, but Ripples kept his mouth shut. Canglan slowly took it for granted that the ripples followed him. It's because she likes herself, Canglan never knows what liking is, and she doesn't think much about it.

The two talked for a long time, and finally I don't know who went to sleep first, and when Canglan woke up, it was already dawn, packed his bags, and the two set off again.
