Chapter 257: The Town of the Evil Gate?

After getting the promise of Jian Qi and having dinner, several people began to discuss their future itinerary by the fire. Originally, they only had a vague direction, because Cheese didn't know exactly where the so-called City of Ten Thousand Laws was. Who would have thought that the new Sword-Seeker would come up with a viable solution for the team's future journey.

"I've vaguely heard the name of the City of Ten Thousand Laws, after all, it's always good to find out the whereabouts of the famous sword, and ask about more things. As far as I know, if you want to go to the City of Ten Thousand Laws, you must first arrive at the Rushing Capital, but fortunately, the Rushing Capital is not far from us, and it is only about half a month's foot. If I hadn't heard the news of the Swift Sword, I would have planned to try my luck in the City of Rushing Streams. It is said to be the largest city in the region. "Unlike the cheese who came from the other side of the grassland, the direction of travel of Jian Qi is almost reversed, and the unknown road for the mage happens to be the road that the sword seeker has not traveled for long.

"It couldn't be better. Cheese nodded and said, it was good for him to know how to get to the City of Ten Thousand Laws, not to mention the so-called viewing ceremony, Atta's lifespan was also a factor that had to be considered, if possible, the sooner they arrived in that city, the better. And in Kenqi's words, he also mentioned another city that was of interest to the mage. He knew the name of the city, and in the language of the locals, it referred to the place where rivers meet, which was the origin of this famous city, and also alluded to the prophecy given by the sleeper.

"The quickest way to get to the city of rushing is by water, and right now the river can take us there. The question is, how do we find a boat and a boatman who knows the road and can steer it. The sword-seeker opened his hand, pointed to the river not far away, and said to his new companion. From his tone, it can be seen that he is sure of what he says, although he has only heard about it, but he must have asked for it.

"Have you seen any towns along the way that can offer this? Money is not an issue, as long as they can make an offer, we can afford it. Cheese's words were not exaggerated, just like the silver bowl they used before, when they left the grassland, the white wolf was very bold and gave Lothar and the others a lot of possessions. These were given by way of cutlery or practical utensils, which the Count could not refuse. In fact, there is nothing to refuse, others don't know, but the white wolf knows how much effort they made that night, and the clan should have something to say.

"Town, yes, there's around here. Jian Qi's face changed a little when he said this, "It's just that I don't recommend going in now, if you want to go, it's better to wait until tomorrow during the day." ”

"Why? There is a curfew at night in that town? We have been walking for many days, and we have not heard of bandits in this neighborhood, and the most we can do is give the guard some change. The cat fairy said with some dissatisfaction, but he didn't say this for himself, as a goblin, living in the wilderness is no different from living in a comfortable room. The main reason Kailas wanted to find a stay at the inn was because he didn't want Atta to feel unwell. Counting the days on the grassland, they have been out of the masonry house for too long, and fatigue will inevitably accumulate.

"Not really. I also went to that town yesterday, and although it was guarded at night, it did not prevent people from entering or leaving. I'm proposing to go back tomorrow during the day because there's somewhat, well, the evil sect. Jian Qi's expression when he said this didn't seem to be an exaggeration, he really thought that there was something strange about that town. And this made several people interested, and when he saw Kairas speak, the sword-seeker was not much surprised, which showed that he knew something beyond common sense, and he could make such a person show such an expression, and the strangeness in this town was probably not simple.

The three of them looked at each other, and Cheese thought for a moment, "Just listen to you, let's rest early tonight and enter the town early tomorrow." We'll talk about it when the situation comes. ”

One night, no words. The woods are fairly quiet, and even though the campsite is close to a water source, wildlife doesn't come here to drink because of the nearby human settlements. It's just that even so, Kailas still consciously kept vigil, and the object of his vigil was not the birds and beasts in the forest, but Jian Qi. For this new companion, it is too early to put your trust in it all.

The next day, everyone got up early. Before dawn, Cheese and Atta had already begun to pack their belongings for the night they had set up camp, and Kenqi was checking his belongings. When the first rays of morning light illuminated the forest, the team that had recruited new members finally set off again. However, in order to accommodate the speed of walking, and to reduce the burden of horses without horseshoes walking in the woods, in addition to Kailas who climbed on the horseback, Atta and Cheese chose to lead their mounts and slowly follow behind the swordseeker. Along the way, several people talked casually, and the mage obviously noticed that Jian Qi had turned his gaze to Atta's sword several times, intentionally or unintentionally, but never asked anything about Flaclag. In fact, Cheese still hopes that he can say something, the secret of the magic sword, the sooner the better it is revealed.

Time followed the river in this way, and when the sun had fully risen to the top of the hill, the trees in front of it became open, and on the side of the river, the town seemed quiet and peaceful. It didn't seem to be fine, at least Cheese didn't feel the smell of magic or evil from the town, and the sun-drenched town looked normal. Kenqi stopped, a puzzled expression on his face, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he was wondering something, the scene in front of him was quite different from the atmosphere of the town he had described last night. So, was he lying?

"Let's get into town, and we'll talk about the rest. I was hungry and wished I had pork here, and I felt like I had eaten all the cows and sheep I had to eat in my life. Cheese patted Kenqi's shoulder lightly and said softly.

The town of Kyufa, with some odd names. However, there was nothing strange about the guards guarding the entrance to the town, except that their hair was longer than that of the people they led into. After explaining to them that the group was a traveler from the Grey Lion, the two guards let them go without even asking any further questions. Walking along the town's roads, you can feel the calm and peaceful atmosphere that permeates the area, with wooden streets with gravel pedestals and warm smiles on the faces of the people who live in them. After a little inquiry with the people on the road, they came to a tavern in the town called Ivy League.

The door of the tavern was unlocked, and Jian Qi pushed open the wooden door, but there was no smell of wine that is common in taverns, and it was a little surprising that it was clean.

"Good morning, we're travelers passing through here, can you make something to eat?"
