Oh? Is that so?

Through the stall owner's words, An An was a little surprised by the current situation in the border area.

In fact, before coming here, An An had already conducted a prior investigation of the towns here. At that time, An An learned that although there were towns and markets in the border area, they were slowly developing. But in fact, there is no state support for the development here. And because of the sensitive location and complex composition of the personnel, in An An's mind, this place is actually a gray area of the kingdom.

As a result, after arriving here, An An found that instead of giving An An an a gloomy feeling in her impression, An An was more like a peaceful village gathering place. This really surprised An An.

However, through the stall owner's words just now, An An probably understood the reason.

In fact, An An felt a little strange at the beginning, he thought that in such a place of right and wrong, without the guidance of external forces, it was actually very incredible to develop a village cluster of such a scale in just a dozen years.

But if there are people from the military who are secretly supporting the construction work and maintaining the stability of the surrounding environment, then the situation is different.

According to the current situation, the person who secretly supports the construction and stability maintenance of the village should be the top executive here, Leila. It is precisely because of Layla's secret support that there is a village of the current scale here, and this is probably one of the reasons why Layla is reluctant to return to Fengrui City.

What surprised An An was that his impression of the Yaksha-like aunt would have such a humane side.

"In that case, brother, you better buy me a mechanical bird!" Without waiting for An An to say anything, Nina took out the money bag from An An's body, and directly took out a silver coin to buy the mechanical bird in the stall owner's hand.

It can't be helped, who made Nina have no resistance to these delicate things!

The boss took the silver coin given by Nina and glanced at it greedily, and then said with a smile on his face: "Thank you two, welcome to come again!" I've got a lot of treasures here! ”

"Really? Show me everything else you've got here! Hearing the boss say that there were other novelties, Nina's eyes lit up.

"Sister, it's not early, it's time to go back!" Unexpectedly, An An grabbed Nina by the back collar and began to drag her away from the stall, not giving Nina the slightest chance to stay.

There's no way, Nina's temperament is very well understood, if you don't take her away now, then when Nina is interested, she won't be able to get out. An An didn't want to waste time here.

After that, An An dragged Nina to find out a lot of news in the town.

As a result, after going down this circle, An An summarized the information he had found and found that the situation in this village was roughly similar to what the first stall owner they met said, and it seemed that the stall owner was not lying. Unexpectedly, Layla is quite prestigious in the eyes of the people in this border area.

An An felt that the sky was getting dark, and the time was almost up, so she planned to take Nina and the rest of the people together.

As a result, at this moment, a person suddenly jumped down from the houses on both sides of the street, directly blocking the way of the two.

The person who came didn't look very old, about twenty years old. He was carrying a heavy knife, with a well-proportioned and sturdy figure, and at first glance he was a practitioner, staring at An An wantonly up and down, with an unkind aura in his eyes at the same time.

Facing this uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in front of him, An An felt a little overwhelmed at first. After all, he had only just arrived at the border, and he had never offended anyone here. Now that such a menacing guy of unknown origin suddenly appeared in front of him, which really made An An feel a little confused.

And after Nina realized that the other party's comer was not good, she immediately hid behind An An very cautiously. At the same time, she did not forget to look around at the surrounding environment and route, and was secretly ready to run away at any time. An An, on the other hand, looked at each other with a confused expression, and still seemed to be a little confused.

Of course, although he was a little confused on his face, in fact, An An's heart had already begun to think about countermeasures very rationally, and at the same time secretly speculated about the identity of the other party. But for some reason, An An always felt that there was something unusual about the other party's appearance. He couldn't help but glance around casually to observe the reactions of the people on the street, only to find that everyone seemed to be accustomed to this, and did not leave to avoid the incident, but many people gathered around to watch the excitement, and there was a hint of schadenfreude on their faces.

This made An An's inner doubts aggravated. He thought to himself: Do all the people in the village know this guy on the other side?

An An hadn't figured out what was going on, but the other party had already rushed towards An An with a knife in a hurry. An An couldn't help but be taken aback, and immediately reacted. He pushed Nina away from the side of him, and then quickly raised his knife to resist the opponent's attack!

As a result, although An An barely caught the other party's knife, because the knife was really heavy, the scabbard in An An's hand unfortunately cracked under this blow and was directly broken into two!

Seeing that the situation was not good, An An hurriedly took two steps back, and then immediately took the scabbard that had become a burden from the sword and threw it aside, and at the same time prepared a posture to meet the attack. But his heartbeat was a little faster.

There is no way, although An An's talent is good, and his style is decisive enough. But compared to others, he really lacks hands-on experience with people. And judging from the opponent's skills, he is obviously a veteran who often fights against others. Not to mention that he has more actual combat experience than An An, the impact of the heavy knife in his hand made An An experience the difference between heavy weapons and light weapons for the first time.

While melee mages are not uncommon in this world, they rarely choose heavy weapons as magic weapons. After all, a fast movement speed is an important means of self-protection for mages, and a weapon that is too heavy is undoubtedly a burden on the movement speed. Therefore, An An had been staying with mages when he was in Twin Moon City before, but he had never seen a mage use heavy magic weapons. Therefore, An An has never understood the power of heavy weapons.

And this time, An An was really eye-opening. For the first time, he began to realize that there were other very difficult guys to deal with besides mages.
