Chapter 91: The Ancient City of Jinglan
Although the Fia Empire is not as good as the four major empires, the area is not small, and if you want to cross the Fia Empire at a normal speed, even if there is a flying demonic beast to travel, it will take at least a few months.
However, the wild land is in the northeast of the Fia Empire, and the Daluo Empire is in the north of the Fia Empire, so although there are tens of thousands of miles from the military camp to the Daluo Empire, but under the starry night of Jiang Hao and Jiang Lie, it only took half a month to come to the northernmost city of the Fia Empire, and it is also a city that occupies an important position in politics, Jinglan Ancient City.
The flying demonic beast dedicated to the Fiati [***] department is the red-crowned golden-clawed eagle, which is a second-order demonic beast, in addition to its amazing attack power, its flight speed is also quite fast, but it is much more difficult to train than the griffin beast, and ordinary people dare not control it. As a flying magical beast unique to the Fia Empire, there are not many of them. It is rumored that the ancestor of the Fia Empire was transformed by a golden-clawed eagle that was close to the peak of the seventh order, but this was just a rumor, after all, it was too terrifying. Of course, this red-crowned golden-clawed eagle is directly used as a totem of the Fia Empire, for ordinary people to look up to. The reason why the Golden Eagle Legion is called the Golden Eagle is because in each military department of this legion, there is a special unit, of course, these are all later words.
With Jiang Lie's status, it was not too difficult to get a red-crowned golden-clawed eagle, so Jiang Hao and the others were able to come to this border city so quickly.
When the two came to the outside of the ancient city of Jinglan, it was almost dusk, a touch of residual sun hung obliquely in the west, a thick and simple atmosphere came to the face, and what came into view was a majestic city wall, the city wall was hundreds of zhang high, densely covered with prominent spikes, shining with a chilling brilliance under the illumination of the setting sun, and it seemed that the breath of slaughter could be smelled from afar.
Jinglan Ancient City, as the gateway to the north of the Fia Empire, has an unimaginable heritage from the outside world, according to the history of the development of the Fia Empire, the great wars that took place here are hundreds, of course, this war refers to the number of participants in the war is more than one million, not to mention some other small battles, countless.
This ancient city of Jinglan has a long history, but it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. But the mighty walls were not made of any kind of ore, but of a rare kind of wood. Iron birch, also a kind of wood unique to the Fia Empire, is not even weaker than the titanium crystal ore, which is known for its hardness, this kind of tree is extremely huge, the adult tree is hundreds of zhang high, and its shape is also peculiar, not round, but diamond-shaped. The iron birch tree is invulnerable, even if the strong man of the war division strikes with all his strength, it is just a mark, and if you want to break a piece of iron birch wood, you can't do it without the strength of the war king or above.
The wood is unusually thick, covered with earthy yellow fine lines, and when piled up, it looks like a pile of rocks if you don't look at it.
On the huge city wall made of iron birch trees, there are two huge scars that are terrifying, hundreds of zhang long, almost across the city wall, as if the city wall is going to be split in half.
Jiang Hao looked at these two cracks, and the extremely majestic city wall, and couldn't help but have the idea of bowing and worshiping in his heart, in front of this Jinglan Ancient City, he was like an ant-like existence, and he only had the qualification to look up, "Second brother, what's going on with this crack?" Could it be that the original craftsmen cut corners?"
Jiang Lie also came to this Jinglan Ancient City for the first time, and his eyes were also full of deep horror, and said, "No, as far as I know, the time of existence of Jinglan Ancient City is measured in 10,000 years, and this crack is said to have been caused by the strong man of the First World War Emperor on the city wall, and I don't know the specifics." ”
"I know. Just as Jiang Hao and Jiang Lie were facing the Jinglan Ancient City, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind them.
Jiang Hao's face changed greatly at first, and then he showed a strange look, pursed his lips and turned his head, as expected, it was Ouyang Xue who was standing behind them.
Jiang Hao shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I said Princess Pingtian, are you following us?" Jiang Hao glanced at Ouyang Xue carefully as he spoke, but there was only amazement left in his heart.
Ouyang Xue was wearing a set of men's clothes this time, her long black hair had been coiled up, a pair of gentle clear eyes that seemed to be dripping were embedded in a perfect and handsome face, fine bangs covered her smooth forehead, and hung down to her thick and slender eyelashes, but the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, revealing a little charming. The pure pupils and the bewitching eyes are wonderfully blended into a very beautiful style, and the thin lips are as light as water. Although she is only dressed in plain and elegant green clothes, she exudes a noble and elegant temperament all the time, and with her long and slender figure, she is simply a beautiful man.
Although Ouyang Xue is dressed as a man, but the charm in her bones can't be concealed at all, the faint fragrance on her body comes from time to time, refreshing, she glanced at Jiang Hao, and said, "No, I arrived here yesterday, hey, where are you going, take me." ”
Jiang Haodong felt that his head was starting to hurt again, and said, "We have something to do, it's inconvenient to take you, if there is nothing else, we will go first." After speaking, Jiang Hao glanced at Jiang Lie, turned around and was about to leave.
But a figure was already in front of Jiang Hao, Ouyang Xue pouted, stared at Jiang Hao's eyes with resentment, pursed her lips slightly, and said, "Do you hate me so much?"
Seeing this, Jiang Hao's heart was also soft, but he refused to relax, avoiding Ouyang Xue's gaze, and said, "Hehe, Princess Pingtian, my second brother and I are going out to do something, I really don't have time to play with you, okay?"
Ouyang Xue snorted coldly and said, "You think I don't know what you're going to do, if you let the royal family of the Fia Empire know, you call it treason." ”
Jiang Hao's face was cold, thinking that she might know something, he had no idea for a while, and was just about to say something when Jiang Lie stopped him, "Fourth brother, I think she is coming for you, or take her with you, so as not to cause trouble." Jiang Lie's voice quietly came into Jiang Hao's ears.
Jiang Hao glanced at Jiang Lie, then glanced back at Ouyang Xue, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay, Princess Pingtian, we can take you, but we want to make three chapters of the law." ”
Ouyang Xue was overjoyed when she saw Jiang Hao nodding, and her face was flushed, which was even more moving in the afterglow of the sunset.
"First, you have to listen to me in everything, and you must not run around, second, you must not play with the princess's temper, and third, bring this with you. After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he casually took out a hat from the necklace and threw it to Ouyang Xue.
Ouyang Xue took the hat suspiciously, looked at Jiang Hao suspiciously, frowned slightly, and said, "Okay, I listen to you, but why do you want to bring this thing?" A pair of beautiful big eyes looked at Jiang Hao, revealing a slightly innocent expression.
The corners of Jiang Hao's mouth twitched, he glanced at Ouyang Xue with contempt, and said, "Just like you entering the city, aren't all the women on the street going crazy?" To tell the truth, Ouyang Xue, who is dressed as a man, even surpasses Jiang Hao's handsomeness to some extent, but that special temperament is the most life-threatening, and even Jiang Hao can't help but feel jealous when he sees it.
"Hee-hee, I know, why don't you bring a hat. Ouyang Xue covered her mouth and chuckled, and Jiang Hao's eyes were straight.
Jiang Lie stood by and looked at Jiang Hao and Ouyang Xue, in addition to shock, there was also some helplessness in his heart, this princess of Pingtian is notoriously moody, she often obeys you one second, and the next moment she may take your surname. Although the beauty is maddening, the young man who really dares to talk to her like this is really missing, and I don't know where Jiang Hao, this kid, learned the ability to tame this rose beauty so obediently. How did Jiang Lie know that this Ouyang Xue had fallen in love with Jiang Hao, and he couldn't extricate himself.
The three of them walked towards the gate of the ancient city of Jinglan, and when they got closer, the quaint atmosphere was even clearer, as if there was the fragrance of trees and the fragrance of the earth, and the smell was refreshing.
After a simple check, with the token of the military department, Jiang Hao and the three of them entered the city without hindrance. As soon as he stepped into the city gate, a noise came violently, so shocked that Jiang Hao hurriedly paused, at this time it was already past dusk, although there was still some light in the sky, but the night had slowly fallen, the ancient city was full of traffic, and the lights of various shops on both sides of the street had been palmed, shouting, bargaining, quarrelling, endlessly. The architectural style here is very peculiar, all of them are thin and thick at the bottom, like spring bamboo shoots standing upside down, looking at the high-rise buildings all over the place, some even hundreds of meters high.
The streets were crowded, Jiang Hao let go of the soul power and looked at it, and was immediately shocked to find that there were basically some warriors here, and there was even no lack of existence at the level of a war division.
Passing by a group of big men who were full of alcohol and chatting about some yellow jokes, Ouyang Xue couldn't help frowning slightly, revealing a look of disgust.
"Second brother, almost all the people here are fighters, and there are many people from foreign countries. Jiang Hao asked as he walked.
Jiang Lie nodded and said, "Most of the people here were born in the military camp, and the ancient city of Jinglan, as a city on the edge of the town in the north of the Fia Empire, has far more heritage than you can imagine, and there are also opportunities and dangers here, so some guys who are not willing to be ordinary come here to seek excitement." ”
Jiang Hao looked at the towering buildings on both sides of the street, smiled disdainfully and said, "I don't think this ancient city is just a little old, it's nothing, it's not as comfortable as our Sun City." ”
Jiang Lie also smiled, knowing that Jiang Hao's child's temper had been made again, and he was just about to say something, when he was suddenly interrupted by bursts of cheers from ahead.
The three of them stood in the middle of the street, looking ahead, only to see that the tide of people suddenly divided on both sides of the road, a group of soldiers dressed in red slowly walked slowly, in the center of the team is an extremely exaggerated golden silk nan wood sedan chair, the sedan chair is very large, there are twelve big men carrying. On both sides of the line were soldiers on horseback, shouting at the crowd.
Those red-faced men who were arguing before were all standing obediently on both sides of the street at this time, looking at the golden silk nanmu sedan chair with fear in their eyes.
The corners of Jiang Hao's mouth twitched, and he muttered, "What a big panache!"
