Volume 1 Dawn Chapter 20 The City of Kolo
As the imperial capital of the Klan Empire, the prosperity of Kolo City is one of the best in the entire empire.
It's mid-morning, and the midsummer sun is already feeling a little hot.
On the main road on the outskirts of the city beyond the city gates, many vendors set up simple pergolas and took advantage of the small shade to sell their wares along the streets.
Most of the stalls are worthless seasonal fruits and vegetables, and there are also whole sections of cloth or coarsely woven linen clothes.
Pedestrians and horses are busy on the main road. Many people were attracted by the hawkers' cries and stopped in front of the stalls to ask a few questions.
Hawkers hurriedly put on their brightest smiles to beckon customers and sell their wares to customers.
"Drive!"
On the wide main road, a beautifully decorated blue carriage drove from the outskirts of the city.
In the front seat, a young man dressed in a navy blue boy costume shouted softly, urging the two horses pulling the cart in front of him to move forward quickly.
Two lanterns hung on the roof of the carriage shed, and a large "Li" character was written on the outside of the lampshade. Although the carriage was moving fast, the two lanterns basically did not shake at all, and the comfort of this carriage can be seen.
"Xiao Jiu, how long will it take to get to the city?"
A young man dressed as a scholar in a light blue robe opened the front curtain of the carriage and asked.
"Back to the third young master, there is the gate of Kolo City in front of you. ”
The young man replied respectfully.
"Young master, don't worry, you can just go into the car and wait. In the carriage, a young man of the same age as a teenager said with a smile, "From the palace, it is not much longer to get to the city, but the young master has asked several times." When Xiao Si was eating, he was not as anxious as the young master was now. ”
The young man holding the curtain with his right hand turned red, and his mind was debunked by his subordinates, but he refused to admit defeat: "Here is where you talk the most!
"The third young master is not in a hurry, at most a cup of tea, Xiao Jiu can send the young master to the city. ”
The little guy in front of the car said.
"Hmm. The boy nodded, loosened the curtain, and slipped back into the car.
When the people on both sides of the road saw the carriage approaching, they hurriedly dodged and dodged out of a wide road.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that imperial law stipulates that surnames are not allowed to be hung on the lanterns of carriages, and only princes and nobles have the right to do so, and only wealthy families are not allowed.
If you don't have a status worthy of it, it is a great disrespect and a sin to be caught and imprisoned.
Now in this Kolo City, there is only one nobleman surnamed Li, and that is the famous His Royal Highness King Li.
The car driver on King Li's mansion, which one dares to stop it casually?
Sitting in the carriage were Liming and Xiao Si's master and servant, and the one who was driving in front of him was naturally Xiao Jiu, who had never left Li Jiang.
In less than a cup of tea, the carriage had reached the majestic outer gates of the city of Kolo.
"Third Young Master, you've arrived in Kolo City. Xiao Jiu turned around and said.
Dawn looked out of the car window at the checkpoint at the gate in front of him, and mumbled, signaling that he knew.
As the imperial capital of the empire, the city of Kolo is heavily forbidden, and if you want to enter and exit the city, you must pass through the inspection sentry at the city gate. In order to prevent the traitors from entering and leaving the city of Kolo and disturbing the peace of the city.
If the king of Li is there in person, the procedures for entering the city gate will be more cumbersome.
The root cause is that King Li's personal combat power is too strong, and in the entire empire, it can be said that he is a step ahead of King Li, and it is difficult to find traces.
If King Li rebelled, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Let's not talk about King Li's personal strength, in the court alone, there are many King Li who have raised up military generals. They have always been grateful to King Li. If King Li rebels, no one dares to guarantee that these people will not have any careful thoughts.
Although King Li has been loyal to the royal family and the empire for more than ten generations, as the king of a country, Lin Zhengdao has to be guarded. Therefore, Lin Zhengdao ordered that if King Li entered the imperial capital, the city defense below must report to himself first.
Relatively speaking, it is easier for the children of King Li's mansion to enter the imperial capital, and there are not so many rules.
The city guards saw the eye-catching word "Li" on the two lanterns from a distance, and the officer led by him intercepted it slightly, and when he saw that it was the third son of Li, he saluted respectfully and waved his hand to let him go.
Dawn also smiled and bowed his hand, which was considered a return of the courtesy.
The carriage slowly drove into the gates of the city of Kolo.
"Young master, look!"
After all, the little four beside Liming is still a teenager in his teens, and he is more playful than Liming's deep thoughts, and when he sees a prosperous scene in the city, he can't help but be excited and Lala Liming's clothes corner said.
The city of Kolo is indeed a different scene than the suburbs of the city.
The first is that the city is full of people, and the flow of people is many times more than that of the slightly deserted suburbs.
The fireworks scene in the world, the various states in the world, is also a different kind of scenery. Although the beautiful scenery on the outskirts of the city is good, there are fewer fireworks and fireworks, and it is naturally deserted.
Xiao Si basically followed Liming's side. Because of physical reasons, Dawn rarely had the opportunity to leave the palace. Most of the time is spent in his study or on the practice ground.
Young people love to be lively by nature, and Xiaosi is no exception, he doesn't talk about it on weekdays, but his heart is still itchy, so his excited look on his face is understandable.
On the other hand, Xiao Jiu, who was driving, had an indifferent look on his face and had no special expression.
Because of Li Zhenghong's identity, sometimes things that are not convenient to do will be handed over to Li Jiang, who has already performed the crown ceremony, to do. As the first heir to the throne of King Li, Li Zhenghong also wanted to train him. Some things have to be experienced to know how to deal with them, especially things like human relationships. Therefore, Xiao Jiu also often goes in and out of Kolo City. is used to seeing the prosperous scene in Kolo City, and there is no novelty of the first time the little four arrived.
Dawn came to Kolo City this time for three things: a jade Linglan that was about a hundred years old, a bone meal from a first-order wood-based demonic beast, and two spiritual spring water.
Yuling Orchid nourishes blood and qi, has mild medicinal properties, and is a common herb that nourishes the body.
However, it is precisely because it is so common that Yuling Orchid rarely grows to about 100 years, and generally speaking, about 10 years is considered a long medicinal age.
Even in King Li's Mansion, it was difficult to find this kind of elixir that required special requirements.
Last night, Dawn sneaked into the inventory of the palace and turned those precious medicinal materials upside down, only turning out a first-order wood-based demonic beast bone powder that he needed from the horns.
As for the spiritual spring water, Dawn said that he had grown so big, and he had never heard of this thing.
I had just asked Physician Kong, who was familiar with the basic elixir, if he was so shocked by his situation that he couldn't think about it, or if he really hadn't heard of this kind of thing, and he didn't get the answer that Dawn wanted anyway.
With these two things, Dawn can only try his luck at the major pharmacies in the city.
"Alright, you kid stop complaining. ”
Bai Feiyu's lazy voice rang out.
"Master, what the hell is this spiritual spring water?"
Dawn was a little confused.
"Don't you know basic pharmacology?" Bai Feiyu has always liked to answer questions.
"I don't know. ”
"The basic five elements are mutually reinforcing, you always understand this truth, right?"
"Uh...... Probably understood......"
"That's fine. Bai Feiyu said, "No matter how special the attribute of light is, it also follows the principle of mutual growth and restraint between the five elements. What attribute do you think is closest to light among the five elements?"
"Fire?" Dawn was a little unsure if her answer was correct, and answered tentatively.
"Yes. Bai Feiyu nodded, "The most basic source of light is fire, and it can be said that it is the mutation of fire attributes. In order to consolidate the foundation, now you need the wood attribute Yu Linglan as the king, and the first-order wood attribute monster bone powder you are looking for is the support, this spiritual spring water is to make. ”
"After all, the light attribute is not the fire attribute, and the absorption of the wood system is not as thorough as the fire attribute, it is a three-point poison, and this spiritual spring water is the best anti-poisoning medicine. ”
"And what the hell is this spiritual spring water?" Dawn still didn't know what the thing she was looking for.
"Spiritual spring water, sweet and warm, accompanied by Nebula grass nearby. ”
Bai Feiyu's words directly caused Liming's brain to go down.
"Master, you didn't play with me, did you?" Dawn asked after a while, "Nebula Grass, are you sure it's that fifth-order elixir, Nebula Grass?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Liming heard that Bai Feiyu's tone was a little unkind, and he knew that he forgot to talk to this master politely when he was shocked, and quickly changed his tone, "This...... The disciple is now limited in his ability and may ...... It's not that ...... Easy to find. Even if you find it, disciple...... I can't afford it either. ”
Good guy, come up and let yourself find a fifth-order elixir!
My ghost, this is too showy......
He weighed the silver ticket in his pocket, which was the amount of money he had saved over the years, and it was less than five hundred taels.
These silvers, not to mention Nebula Grass, are almost the same as buying a blade of grass.
The price of the fifth-order elixir is not something that Dawn's current financial resources can afford.
"I didn't let you find Nebula Grass, what are you anxious about?" Bai Feiyu was speechless for a while, "I said that it was a companion, do you understand the companion? Spirit-Spring-Water, do you understand?"
"Oh......" Dawn suddenly realized that he would be wrong after doing it for a long time.
But where the hell are you going to get this thing? Or do you want to find a wild nebula grass?
Isn't that still the end of it?
Liming's thoughts were clear to Bai Feiyu, and he was completely speechless for this idiot disciple. I really don't know what this kid has been thinking all day.
