Chapter 55: Golden Chrysanthemum
Early the next morning, Ankers took Annya to the town where the carriage was rented to find a carriage. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because he had no money on his body, the hunter's uniform was also discarded by himself, and it was really difficult to get the carriage without showing his strength, but Ankers didn't want to do anything, he had to show his hunter's strength in public.
Complete hypnosis does this very well. The hypnosis process is hidden, and unless the strength is one level higher than Anks, that is, a bronze-level hunter, it cannot be detected at all.
And all it takes is a snap of the fingers, a snap of the fingers that seems very ordinary to others.
If it was before, Anx might still feel a little uncomfortable, and even use his status as a hunter to find the richest local person to collect some gold coins.
But that's the former Anks.
"Brother, why is that man so kind to give us the carriage"
With a look of surprise, Anya looked at Anx and found a carriage with a few words, and felt very magical.
"Fool, my brother gave the money, and the bar owner took my brother's things and sold them"
"Oh, I see, then I need to warn the bar owner"
Anria hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and trotted back to the tavern. After a while, Anriya ran out with a small bag, and the bar owner greeted Anlia warmly.
In the image that Anx instilled in him, the two siblings were all the sons and daughters of the Grand Duke from Ville. So the bar owner's own and others are very welcoming.
Alia waved goodbye to the bar owner and his wife, then trotted back to the carriage and opened the bag given by the bar owner, revealing an oversized iron lunch box, which contained four king-size rice balls.
"Brother, this is the boss who gave us a secret chicken rice ball, there is a lot of chicken in it."
Ankers looked at Anria, who was smiling very happily, and his heart became much better.
"yes, our little gluttonous cat has something to eat"
"Don't say I'm a gluttonous cat, and I won't give you any rice balls"
Anya angrily got into the carriage with her lunch box, and Ankers comforted Anya while driving the carriage out of Anshui Town.

On the southern road to Vail City, there is a rolling mountain range known as the Death Mountains, which is the only way from the south to the central Vail City.
There are two roads from the south of Wilmar to Vail, one is by water, which leads the canal to the outskirts of Vail.
The other is to take the land route, the land route is shorter than the waterway, the journey is fast, it is faster than the waterway is a week, the waterway is basically a big circle around the whole Wilma, so generally people who return to Weil City from the south will choose the land route.
Of course, this is under the condition that there is an absolute guarantee of its own strength.
The reason why the Death Mountains have such a name is because there are hundreds of bands of thieves of all sizes stationed here, and these bands of thieves are all people in the south who cannot survive.
Now Wilmar is in an era of great change, new technology is gradually replacing the old technology, steam locomotives, magic technology, factories, one after another new things impact the old conservative people.
Many ordinary people have accumulated a lot of wealth because they have taken the train of development in the new era, which has made those originally conservative small aristocrats, eliminated manor owners, a large number of peasants, and many people who are unwilling to be distributed.
But the power of the times is huge, especially the magic guns, no one can resist them except hunters, even the heroic knights of the old era can't resist even a single shot.
So some people chose to surrender, but those who were unwilling took root in this mountain range of death with the support of some ill-intentioned people.
The Death Mountains are not completely enclosed, and there are many winding trails in the mountains, some of which lead to the central part of the country, while others lead to the base camp of some bandits.
But of all the roads, there is one of the shortest and widest, and if you take it for at least a day, it takes you through a large wooded area, a long stretch of cliffs and a gorge, and this road is called the Gate of Hell.
The gate of hell, the road to hell, if you pass through the gate of hell, you can return to the prosperous world, if you can't pass through the gate of hell, then you really go to hell.
Almost all powerful bands of thieves will set up an ambush at the gates of hell, and passing caravans will be deprived of both men and money if they do not pay the tolls.
The Wilmar government has encircled and suppressed this area many times, but each time these bands of thieves retreat early into the mountains, so that the army cannot find anyone at all.
At this time, a convoy of hundreds of meters long was driving in a dense wood, and the convoy was all powered by the latest steam locomotives, there were more than 20 of them, and each steam locomotive was pulled behind two iron carriages with rolling wheels under the carriages.
Each locomotive was accompanied by a guard armed with a jet gun, and on either side of the convoy were more than two hundred armed with ordinary air guns, armed with first-class hunters' swords.
In the middle of the steam convoy, a huge carriage pulled by eight horses was guarded, on which a golden chrysanthemum flag fluttered in the wind, and five guards stood on either side of the carriage.
These five guards were different from the other guards in terms of dress and temperament.
They were to see a second-class hunter armed with a longsword and a modified jet gun that could fire three rounds in a row.
In Wilmar, although steam locomotives have begun to become popular, few people have been able to dispatch more than 20 steam locomotives at once, let alone so many jet guns and first- and second-class hunter armaments.
And the Golden Chrysanthemum Consortium is precisely one of the few forces that can do it.
The founder of the Golden Chrysanthemum Consortium is named Yan Ya, who was very poor when he was a child, and Yan Ya started everyone by reselling new technology, and is now one of the four major consortia in Wilma, and the richest consortium among the four consortia, and Yan Ya is also the richest man in Wilma.
The banner of the Golden Chrysanthemum Consortium was designed by Yan Ya himself, and it is said that Yan Ya liked chrysanthemums very much when he was young, and for this reason, he was nicknamed the Grand Duke of Chrysanthemum by some hostile forces.
The Gate of Hell, the Golden Chrysanthemum Consortium has walked countless times, and the Consortium pays a large amount of gold coins and food to the thieves of the Death Mountains every year, so the Golden Chrysanthemum Consortium walks like its own backyard in this feared Gate of Hell.
And this time, the Golden Chrysanthemum Foundation is walking on the road to the gates of hell as always.
