In the last hundred years of the White Moon Kingdom, the term dragon slayer warrior was probably only used by those warriors who occasionally encountered crocodiles in the mountains and forests and then killed them.

The dragon has long surpassed the legendary creature and has become something that cannot even be authenticated. Although there is still a complete dragon bone under the old palace of the White Moon Kingdom that was destroyed by a disaster magician, even the sick princess is not too clear about this matter. She just heard that she had this treasure in her house, but she didn't want to investigate, because it was so miserable to save the palace that it was buried under the chaotic wasteland like a mountain, even if she deceived the people all over the world that there was gold in the ground and made them flock to it, it is estimated that the brick walls of the palace will not be dug up in a few years.

For those young people in the White Moon Kingdom who have ideals and ambitions and have enough bravery, they have given up the legendary promotion path that can make them legends overnight, and have begun to work for the kingdom in a down-to-earth manner, which is a good phenomenon.

Strangely enough, some of them had just woken up from their sleep, and heard dragons chattering on the side of the street.

"There's a dragon coming?"

In the Takami area next door to the Hokkai, early in the morning, you can hear the voice of someone on the street who has not woken up asking about this sentence. Apparently they thought they were in a dream when they said this.

Not all of those who escaped from the Hokkai were careful to avoid the Takami area, and most of them were not so stupid as they believed that the Takami area was really as terrifying as the legend suggests.

These people came directly to Takami, but it also caused a sensation, and the reason why they fled the North Sea was really strange.

The Takami region is considered to be a place where the military value of the White Moon Country is relatively high, not as good as the White Moon Plain and the border land, but it is much higher than the North Sea.

In addition to working at the border, all the young people in the White Moon Country who want to earn military industry gather in Takami. Because they feel that sooner or later Beihai will rebel one day, and when the time comes, they will be close to each other, and they will be able to get the title and fief in a few minutes.

In addition to these people, the Takami area is also a famous hermit retreat in the White Moon Kingdom. Many magicians live near the left. These people just wanted to stay away from the magical city of Rozeravon in the south, and the northernmost North Sea was too barren, so they had to choose the Takami area.

These people knew that sooner or later Beihai would run out in large numbers, but the reason for the refugees to flee was not because of tyranny and famine, but because of dragons...... This one really makes them feel very psychedelic.

"Great!

Most of the hot-blooded young people made such a voice, and these people with brain congestion could not hide their expectations of the disaster, and no one would blame them. No way, who makes a bedtime story for parents always indispensable to dragons, warriors and beautiful princesses?

No one criticized them for their cruelty, except to laugh at the fact that they were still the children who pestered their parents to listen to a story before bed. Pretty cute. Although they are strong enough to wrestle with bears empty-handed in an iron cage.

Because the previous battle with the Mori no Kuni was so miserable and the number of non-commissioned officers killed and wounded was too large, a large number of warriors decided to stay away from the battlefield and came to the Takami area, which was far away from the border but where there was a possibility of war, to prepare to show their strengths.

Outsiders who don't usually have anything serious to do have carried forward a game in the Takami area. A man and a bear are kept in cages and made to fight for spectators. Naturally, it is impossible for a martial artist to lose to Xiong. And lately, bears have become more and more difficult to catch, and the number has begun to decrease somewhat. So you can't even kill a bear, and the whole activity is more and more like wrestling with a bear.

This kind of iron cage for trapped bears is often placed in taverns and other entertainment venues, and whenever someone wants to find trouble with the bear, it will attract a wave of onlookers, and it is actually similar to two big men in other areas wrestling their wrists in taverns, but it is more peaceful. After all, two drunk men got together. There is a high probability of breaking the head.

In Takami Castle, the main city of the Takami region, a bear has just died in a tavern. A young man who was shirtless and casually wrestling with a bear was about to try an over-the-shoulder throw, when suddenly someone shouted, 'Dragon, the dragon is about to appear in the Takami area!' and ran into the tavern in a hurry.

The person who spoke was a local jack-of-all-trades. Always bring the latest and fastest interesting news. Hearing this, all the people in the tavern stood up in shock, and the young man who was about to make an over-the-shoulder fall really fell out, and the bear's body flew out and smashed the cage, and a broken iron bar was stuck in its head.

The magicians in the Takami region have been depressed for a while, because Rozelaven seems to have developed a lot of interesting magic in the past year, and it is rumored that they have developed a new way to create spells, which can be used only by spells without relying on magic arrays.

When the Grey Witch came to the Eighth World, she had been hanging out in Rozerabon since she arrived. The reason why she was able to take a group of magicians as her younger brother was thanks to this knowledge of spells.

All the magicians of the White Moon Kingdom need to rely on magic arrays to cast spells, only some large spells are assisted by spells, and most of the magic does not rely on the power of words and contracts. Now she's bringing that power in, hoping to talk to the people here.

After all, magicians are still a profession that relies on brains, and if you introduce a new concept, you can develop something interesting.

In the past two weeks, all the magicians who have lived in seclusion have gathered together, and they can be regarded as opening a sect. Together, they numbered only four men and three women, all but one of whom was a young man.

Early this morning, the group had become four men and four women, and a new old woman, the magician, had brought news from the city. She herself was skeptical, and told her old friends that there was a rumor that dragons might appear in the Beihai region recently.

The source of this rumor is reliable, and there are already people on the North Sea side who have fled their homes because of the dragon. The news is spreading from Takami to other regions through the mouths of the foot merchants who set out early in the morning, and it is believed that it will soon spread to half of the White Moon Country.

The magicians read their beards and smoked pipes, men and women alike, and the room was so full of smoke that it was impossible to see people's faces. They were showing off the color of their tobacco burning. But I'm not in the mood anymore.

Dragon slaying is not the patent of martial artists, strictly speaking, the number of successful dragon slaying of magicians is a little more than that of martial artists. They can't have too high a martial arts realm due to physical reasons, but turning to magic won't make them forget those bedtime stories about dragons, and their childhood dreams are not so light that they can forget.

In the smoke, the only young voice spoke lazily. "I'm going to take a walk around the North Sea region. ”

"To see the dragon?" an old male voice replied in the smoke. Soon an old woman's voice appeared with a cough that refused, "Cough, cough, when, of course." Young people, they should go and slay dragons. And whenever there is news of a dragon haunting, it will attract a group of interesting people, and even the old woman I want to see for a long time. ”

The news of the dragon's appearance dismisses the ordinary inhabitants of the North Sea, but the rest of the region is whether it is a warrior, a magician, or a commoner. They all have expectations for it and are willing to believe in the authenticity of the news. There are also many people who are packing their bags and heading to the Takami area. In the coming weeks, the number of these people will continue to increase.

It's been a long time since the sick princess has been in a good mood in the morning, and at this time she is like an American child on Christmas morning, finding her own mountain of gifts under the Christmas tree. After her parents smiled and said that they could open the present, she took a box of space props from the Archer Knight with a sense of anticipation that she hadn't seen in a long time, which was full of things scavenged from the stardust.

After killing the star chips. Princess Fuhu walked around the magician's house and returned to the city, and she still had a date to go. Three knights were left behind. Spend more than a dozen hours organizing, recording, and moving the treasures in the workshop.

Like a greedy dragon, the old man looted a large number of shiny and valuable objects, and if they were all thrown into the jewelry and art market in one go, the supply would exceed demand in a minute, enough to destroy the price of the entire market.

The sick princess took out her things in the same way and looked at them with joy. She didn't like these shiny things. She felt that she was not a crow, and there was no reason for these useless things to be fascinated by them like those ordinary women. She held the jewels in her hands, thinking that this was her new palace, and perhaps she could decorate it in the new palace.

No matter what. The funds for a large civil engineering project are available, and Baiyue City has not done such a large project for a long time.

Zhou Shu and Miss Cai had breakfast together, and there was an old man beside him who ate his promise as powdered sugar. The daily salt intake of the old man, who claimed to be a doctor, made the two of them lose their appetite at all.

Miss Cai put away the weird problem of laughing all along, and said to the old man worriedly: "Old man, you eat so much salt, it's not good for your health, right?"

The old man smiled, "Eating less is not good for your health." When you are older, your tongue doesn't work, and your food tastes less salt. ”

Zhou Shuxin said that this tongue is definitely not so simple as useless, if you are an ordinary person, you can't have it after eating your throat like this, but seeing that this old man can still speak, this is very unusual.

The two watched as the old man finished his meal, and they had no appetite at all.

Miss Cai decided to go home to have a look, and Zhou Shu asked for a companion, so the two left the doctor's house.

The name of Traveler's Town is where it comes from, a town formed by a large group of travelers, and now it is very large.

It is a simple truth that where there is economic activity, it attracts people. Since the first travelers continued to sell the things on the mountain for money, it was destined that the scale of this place would not be limited to a small gathering place, but would develop into a town.

Miss Cai's family is no longer empty, and her only sister married far away, and moved from the city where she lived two years ago, and then lost contact, so she is now considered a family member. Despite this, Voyager's Town is still a very important place for her, her hometown. She was going to go back to her old house to take a look, and then go to inform the town's chamber of commerce, informing them of the prophecy of the new saint about the dragon.

On the way to their hometown's house, Cai and Zhou Shu passed by the grocery store and saw many families carrying bags of salt coming out of it.

This scene is still very familiar to Zhou Shu, grabbing salt, I have experienced it.

"The sea has disappeared for a while, and it hasn't rained in the last half a month, and all the remaining sea water has turned into sea salt. There are no onshore salt pans in the North Sea. This salt should be the last salt, and after eating it up, you can only seek trade from other regions. ”

Zhou Shu really didn't expect that the disappearance of the sea would bring about this kind of thing, and from this point of view, it is not to blame the Duke of Beihai for sending troops into the new road. If nothing else, there is sea salt in those potholed ponds.

He didn't know much about the prices in Baiyue Country, and he didn't know what the value of salt was. Today, there was a person around him who understood, so he asked.

"The price of salt. Cai thought for a while, and then asked Zhou Shu with a puzzled expression, "Mr. Zhou Shu has spoken the lingua franca so well, has he never bought daily necessities such as salt?"

"There may or may not be. "This kind of trivial matter, Zhou Shu has never paid attention to it.

Miss Cai said that the price of salt is actually quite high, but recently the sea salt has basically been dried. The supply side has increased, making salt very cheap. However, many families are also stockpiling salt, and the price has not fallen to the bottom, which is quite average.

"It turns out that the salt used to be so expensive?" Zhou Shu nodded thoughtfully.

"It's not very expensive, everyone can afford it, it's just a little more expensive than it is now. ”

"Eh, is that so?" Zhou Shuyi pointed his finger in a direction, where there was a little brother who had just bought salt, and he was dipping his fingers in salt grains and sending them into his mouth. "Isn't it that I can't afford to eat salt all the time? So now that it's cheaper, do you want to have a good time?"

Cai turned her head and looked in the direction pointed by Zhou Shu, frightened. The little brother basically grabbed the salt and chewed it in his mouth. The large particles of coarse sea salt were chewed and rattled, making Zhou Shu and Miss Cai's scalps tingle.

"This is absolutely abnormal! I don't eat salt like this!" Miss Cai didn't dare to look at it after two glances.

"yes, this salt is too coarse, you should grind some and eat it. Zhou Shu pretended that he didn't capture the point and casually made a joke.

Cai had already left the grocery store with Zhou Shu for a while, but after seeing this strange situation, he turned back.

"There is no plague in the town. But it's really weird. I'm a little worried. ”

The two came to the door of the grocery store, and Cai knew the boss here more or less, and as soon as he entered the door, he patted the counter and shouted to the boss to come out.

The boss is an all-round ordinary middle-aged man, and after seeing Cai, he said hello, "How are you coming back from Haiyuan City?" Want to buy something?"

Cai was obviously not in the mood to be polite to this person, pointed to the bag of coarse salt placed in the most conspicuous position, and asked, "I just came back to town, and to be honest, I was frightened by the way you eat salt." Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

"Oh, that's what you say. ”

The boss said that the people in the town have been a little weird lately. Since about a week ago, the tongues of almost everyone in the town have become so dull that they can't taste anything at all, whether old people or children. The shopkeeper also complained that the good ripe fruits in the store could not be sold, and only those astringent fruits in the mountains, which used to be sour and sour in the past, could only taste delicious.

Now the women run all day long into the woods outside the town, looking for the kind of sour fruit that they had never seen before.

Zhou Shu and Cai looked at each other when they heard this, and asked at the same time, "Then don't you think this matter is strange?"

"Weird. The shopkeeper spread his hands, "But what can we do?" Fortunately, the price of salt is very low now, and you have not seen it when you go to Xinludi, there is salt everywhere. Thanks to the recent dry climate, it's a good day to bask in smoke. ”

Zhou Shuxin said that the sea is gone, and there will be more dry days in the future. Cai put on a pensive look on the side, and continued to ask, "Could it be that everyone in the town is so heartless as you?

"Yes, yes. "Five days ago, when everyone's taste was just having problems, some people gathered as if they were discussing something. Those people were all literate people in the town, and I didn't understand or remember what they said. I only know that they tossed for two days, and in the end, they didn't do anything, and nothing came out. ”

"Cultural people?"

It's not that Miss Cai is pessimistic, she really doesn't know that there are literate people in a town of small businesses like Traveler's Town.

"Yes, for example, the booksellers. It's they who are there to toss around. I don't know how, there was a fire in his house last night, and all three of them died, as if they were sick. ”

Miss Cai has lived in the town for more than 20 years, and she has only come to work in Haiyuan City in the last two years, so she is familiar with the people in the town. She also knew the bookseller's family, a couple with two children, it should be a family of four.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You don't know, the second year after you left the town, the eldest of his family also went to Haiyuan City. Haven't you met over there?"

"Haiyuan City is not this small country town, it is very big there, how can you meet ......?"

Miss Cai was halfway through her words, when she suddenly thought of something, her whole person's expression became very terrifying, and her pupils contracted, startling Zhou Shu, who was staring at her face on the side. Miss Cai hurriedly reached into her arms, found the letter saying that there was a plague in the town, and unfolded it for the grocery store owner to see.

"Do you know someone who can recognize the bookstore owner's handwriting, that old man is very popular, someone should know him. ”

Miss Choi felt as if she had found the person who wrote the letter. (To be continued......)
