43rd Memphis City
The magic crystal, the unique crystal nucleus in the body of the demonic beast, and the magic crystal energy in the body of a powerful demonic beast is also huge. As an important magical material, magic crystals are also widely sought after by magicians and alchemists. In order to obtain the magic crystal, humans have captured and slaughtered the demonic beasts. Therefore, the traces of magic crystals on the continent are very common, but because to obtain high-quality magic crystals, it also means facing powerful and ferocious magic beasts, therefore, a magic crystal or rare magic crystal containing powerful energy is very expensive, and it is often priceless.
Saving Atai before was completely a subconscious reaction to the friendship of the past for Aaron. If it were anyone else, Aaron wouldn't even lift his eyelids.
The law of the jungle, the law of the jungle. His past experiences and growing experiences have changed his mind.
"Uncle Grech, that big man looks like he's fallen into a love trap!" said Delis, thoughtfully.
However, Gu Liezhi smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Hehe, dear, he is just a temporary infatuation, and this heat will soon fade with time." There is always such a process for young people of your age, haha!" Gu Liezhi's words seemed to mean something else, which made Delis's face blush unconsciously.
Finally, at dusk the next day, everyone arrived in Memphis. Altai was still depressed and looked a little haggard, but no one would pay attention to him at this time, not Gibson.
All the people were excited and excited to arrive at their destination. The caravans returned to their homeland without danger, and the soldiers of the Silver Fox Legion were thrilled to arrive in the most prosperous city in the Empire, which, according to Gullige, was less prosperous, open, and tolerant than even the imperial capital.
Memphis City, to a first-time visitor like Allen, seemed a little strange, but for a moment he couldn't tell what it was.
Along the way, sparse houses gradually appeared on both sides of the road. As we went deeper, there were more and more people on the houses and on the road. People here are always in a hurry, as if everyone has a clear destination. They didn't show the usual attention of the strangers who suddenly appeared in Aaron's group, and just glanced at them and continued to go their own way and do their own thing. There was a very cold look in their gaze.
However, as the team progressed, Aaron also discovered some of the city's flair for him.
The precious seedlings planted on both sides of the road look like those that can only be found in the gardens of the aristocracy. The buildings on both sides of the road are gradually becoming very different and diverse. The architectural styles of different countries and regions come together here, which is very exotic. Even if she has been here a few times, she is the same as Aaron and other soldiers, with the appearance of a hillbilly entering the provincial capital, and a look of lingering.
Suddenly, Aaron knew what the city had done to him, and he wondered, "Why hasn't the city built walls?"
Although there are not many cities he has visited, everywhere he has been, without exception, the walls have been built, but the height and width are different. But there is not a shadow of a city wall here, you must know that this city is not an ordinary small city, but the most prosperous place in the empire.
Even Delis wondered. She had been here with her father a few times before, and it can be said that she had visited most of the interesting places in the city, and the prosperity and prosperity of Memphis left an extremely deep impression on her heart.
"Hehe, because we're only on the outskirts of the city now, and we haven't reached the center of the city yet. Gullie elegantly explained.
"What? This is the outskirts of the city?"
It's not just a hairy boy like Aaron, even Delis is surprised. Could it be that the place I have been to before is only a corner of the suburbs?
Gu Liezhi smiled and nodded, and the cultivation and etiquette advocated by the nobles were well expressed in him.
At a fork in the road, Gibson and Atai came over to say goodbye to Aaron, saying that they were going to break up here, but left the address of the contact method, and repeatedly stressed that after Aaron was done with the business at hand, it was important to go to them to catch up.
After saying goodbye to Gibson and Artey, Allen continued to follow the team.
When a small city appeared in front of the road, the Silver Fox soldiers who had arrived in Memphis for the first time thought that they had finally reached the center of the city, and they all let out a cheer and whistle.
After a brief negotiation with the guards beside him, an officer beside him passed smoothly. Compared to the checkpoints in other big cities, this place is really a bit too loose. However, when Delis asked to arrange the accommodation and rest of her team immediately as she passed by the guards, the soldiers of Memphis responded unceremoniously to the proud woman: "I'm sorry, miss. Not even your Legion Commander can control the heads of our Memphis. We still have something to do, so feel free. ”
The guards flatly rejected Delis's request. Naturally, the soldier's response made Delis angry, and a little sergeant dared to say such a thing to himself.
"Bastard, I ought to teach you a good lesson, and let you know what it means to be humble!" said Delis, who was so mad that she yelled in a rage, completely devoid of the manners of a lady.
In the roar of Delith, several soldiers of the Silver Fox Legion behind him had already drawn their silver swords, intending to vent their evil anger on the beautiful young lady. Which city did the people of the Silver Fox Legion not be welcomed by the crowd when they went to? Today, they were actually deflated by a small soldier in Memphis, and no soldier of the Silver Fox Legion could swallow this breath.
However, the soldiers who were about to carry out Delith's order were quickly stopped by Viscount Gregory: "Stop! ”
There was a rare seriousness in Gu Rich's tone: "In the future, if you want to be supported by your subordinates in the Legion, then you must learn to respect and understand. Otherwise, your temper will only lead you to the point of isolation!"
Gu Liezhi's reprimand made Delis not know how to refute, but the anger in her heart had nowhere to vent, so she stomped her foot in hatred, turned over and followed the team on.
Aaron was at the front of the line at this time, surrounded by admirers. The scene of rescuing Atai in the jungle was witnessed by most of the soldiers, and although they only saw Aaron's sneak attack, they admired his courage to go into the thieves alone to rescue his brother.
During the war years, the brave were always respected!
After walking through the city and advancing a long way, a city head appeared in front of it again, but what made people depressed was that the third, fourth, and sixth city gates appeared one after another, and the city gates were far away from each other.
This made Delise, who had never been here before, finally couldn't help but complain: "What's going on, are we going to walk through Memphis City now?"
Gu Liezhi's face had returned to his usual elegance, and he explained unhurriedly: "Of course not, Miss, we haven't done what your father has explained, how can we leave?"
"That?"
"Hehe, although Memphis City was originally the kingdom of the Memphis Kingdom, it was only a small city at that time, and the population was sparse. Later, with the outbreak of the war, more and more people learned about this ancient city. Later, after being incorporated into the territory of our empire, with the rise of commerce, craftsmen continued to gather and settle here. As a result of the cycle, business in Memphis continues to thrive as more and more professionals arrive. The ancient walls we have just walked through are the result of many expansions as the city of Memphis grows in population. Any city will experience these things. ”
"But the checkpoints we passed through along the way, not only were the checks very sparse, but even the number of guards was very small!" a soldier next to him couldn't help but interject.
As always, Gureji was as tolerant as ever about the offense of the soldiers, and explained without hesitation: "It is true, for many reasons, although Memphis is autonomous, the empire does not allow them to have armed forces. In addition to this, even the basic defensive measures such as the city walls were limited to less than four meters in height. The city of Memphis has the most walls inside and out, but it has the fewest defenses in the empire. All in all, soldiers, this is a place where no military presence is allowed. ”
In this way, the group came to the heart of the Memphis people amid questions and answers.
As far as the eye can see, people flow into the carp that crosses the river, and the river flows endlessly. The cobbled avenues are wide and wide, and on both sides of the road, there are many shops that extend next to each other. Every passerby looked radiant, and the clothes they wore were generally high-end, at least Aaron hadn't even thought about it before he went to the Palau Islands, let alone wear it.
Grege, who seemed familiar with the road, led the group around in a short time through the dense crowd to the Memphis' town hall.
After giving the order to wait in place, Grech took Delis and several officers to the town hall, where Aaron was going to sit down and rest. Although his own strength is not what it used to be, he has been on the road for several days, sleeping in the open air, and even if he is iron, he has to take a breath.
However, Aaron's wish was immediately shattered by Delis: "Aaron, you go in with me." ”
"Why? I don't seem qualified for this kind of thing, do I?" replied Alun absent-mindedly.
"Hehe, you're not qualified, but if you're looking for a place to get what you want, I'd suggest you'd better stay with me. Delis blinked and smiled playfully.
............
In desperation, Aaron had no choice but to follow Delis inside. After all, this Memphis city is so big, the streets are numerous, and the people are mixed, and if you really want to ask yourself to find it one by one, you will definitely not be able to find a place to go until it gets dark.
Gu Lizhi did not object to Delis's beckoning Aaron to go in with him, but after smiling at Delis meaningfully, he turned around and walked towards the town hall first.
