"Two cowards. ”
The lord of Xia Wei City checked that the two had indeed committed suicide. He threw the sleeve of his leather robe and shouted, "Duan Ganmu, you take two people and drag the corpses of these two cowards out and burn them!"
Duan Ganmu, the Xuanshi with deep sunken eye sockets and reddish-brown marks on his cheeks, agreed, carefully lifted the corpses of the two men with Xuan Li, and walked out of the city.
"Brother Xu, I believe your opinion now. This time the monsters are attacking the city, and there are really outlaws who are secretly harboring ill intentions, and they want to plunge my Ice and Fire City into great turmoil! Hmph, don't you care about the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people of our Noso barbarian clan?"
The City Lord of Xia Wei roared angrily.
"I remember, Brother Xu heard a strange flute sound at that time, so he went to chase after him, I don't know if there is any result?" asked Wu Matai.
Xu Yang shook his head: "There is only one black-robed man, and I caught up with him." It's just that this person is very weird, he doesn't seem to have a trace of the breath of a living person, and in the end he seems to have escaped. ”
"Lord Castle, what should we do now?" asked Wu Matai.
"Send a distress message to Dugu City," Xia Wei City Lord's face was grim, "I ask Haiyun to go to the kingdom and send a master to find out the reason." ”
"City Lord, those people from the Sea Cloud Kingdom have always looked down on us Noso, do you want to bow your head to them?" Wu Matai couldn't help but say.
"Of course I don't want to, but when it comes to the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of Nosos, I can't just think about face. The City Lord of Xia Wei said with a sigh.
Wu Matai shook his head, and had to turn around to carry out the city lord's order.
"Xia Wei Xuanzong, this city seems a little weird? Why is it called Ice and Fire City, and the level of cultivation in the city is so low? Also, with all due respect. Your strength seems to be only in the realm of Xuanzong, and according to the regulations of the Sea Cloud Upper Kingdom, it seems that you are not enough to be the lord of a city, right?" Xu Yang asked.
The City Lord of Xia Wei sighed: "I know that Brother Xu has many questions in his heart. Let's go back to the Wrangler Inn, and I'll explain it to you one by one. ”
Back in the inn. The city lord of Xia Wei told Xu Yang about the current situation of Kanli City.
It turned out that in the city, the main people living in the city were the Noso barbarians.
Similar to the Northern Barbarian Race, the Noso Barbarian is also physically different from the ordinary Tianxuanda 6 humans. They are on average thicker and burlier, and their fur is thicker. That's not all, the way of life and ideology of the Noso barbarians are also different from the mainstream human concepts of Tianxuan Da 6. They believe in barbarian gods, worship battle and glory, and believe in the heroic dead in battle. You will be guided by the Barbarian God to the Barbarian Heavenly Holy Land.
The Noso barbarians have lived for generations at the junction of the Ice Abyss and the Doomsday Volcano, and they built a city on the mountain, which they named the City of Ice and Fire.
The City of Ice and Fire is a treasure land, as it is located near the Doomsday Volcano, and many places have geothermal heat to heat it, unlike other areas in the Northern Regions. The cold is incomparable, and ordinary people simply cannot survive.
Later, the Xuanzhi of the Haiyun Shangguo appeared in the Ice and Fire City, and on the grounds that it was within the jurisdiction of the Haiyun Shangguo, he forcibly sent Xuanjun, Xuanzong and other characters to come here and serve as the city lord, the general of the garrison, etc., and renamed the Ice and Fire City Kanli City.
If the city lord and general sent by the Kingdom of Haiyun are diligent and love the people, it is okay, the Noso barbarians advocate the strong. As long as it does not affect their lives, it is not unacceptable to obey the governance of the Kingdom of Haiyun. But the strange thing is that the Ice and Fire City is too desolate, and there are no Xuanshi veins around. Every Xuanjun who served in this place regarded the position of "Kanli Jun" as a drudgery like exile.
This city lord Kan Lijun bought a property in Dugu City, thousands of miles away, and lived in Dugu City with his descendants, almost never setting foot in Kan Licheng.
The general of the garrison also did the same, and he didn't care about the garrison work of leaving the city at all. The 300 Xuanshi troops of Haiyun Shangguo that he left behind were even more worried about the crisis of monster sieges, running and scattering, and the 300 Xuanjun army existed in name only.
It doesn't matter if there is no one up there, anyway, the Noso people are used to a free tribal life and don't care. However, the lord of Kanli still levied heavy taxes on all Nosols, which caused the hostility of the Noso barbarians.
However, in view of the fact that the lord of Kanli City occupied the righteousness appointed by the kingdom of Haiyun, the Nosos could not afford to provoke it, so they had to pay taxes. But they paid the tax, but they didn't get anything in return, and the city lord, the general of the garrison, and the others didn't care about the monster attacking the city at all.
Among the Noso barbarians, they follow their ancient methods to select the strongest warriors to serve as the "Lord of Ice and Fire" to lead the Noso barbarians against the invasion of monsters. This year's Ice and Fire City Lord is Xia Wei, he was born in the Noso Barbarian Clan, and this position of City Lord was not appointed by the Sea Cloud Kingdom.
Xu Yang finally figured out that Xia Wei was equivalent to a native chieftain, not an official of Haiyun Shangguo.
"It's no wonder that when the Nosuo people mention Haiyun Shangguo and Dugu City, they are all disapproving, and even a little hostile. Xu Yang said.
The city lord of Xia Wei was worried that Xu Yang would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Xu, although we Nuosuo people are not angry, we have always obeyed the law, and the taxes that should be paid will not be less than a rabbit skin. ”
"Xia Wei City Lord misunderstood," Xu Yang shook his head and said, "I don't care about these things, since I came here to be a garrison general, I have to take responsibility and guard the safety of the party." This is also a necessary experience for me. ”
"If Brother Xu can stay in Ice and Fire City for a long time, it will be the luck of all Noso. The city lord of Xia Wei said with great joy. He had seen Xu Yang's strength, and he thought that he was inferior to this genius boy. If Xu Yang could stay, even if there were any more monsters attacking the city, they would not be afraid at all.
Xu Yang naturally would not refuse, he still had a good impression of these enthusiastic and bold barbarians.
"This time, there are many barbarian elephants, and they actually participated in the siege of the city, which is very strange in itself. I guess these big guys were bewitched by the mysterious man in black. City Lord, do you know where these brute elephants usually come from?" Xu Yang asked.
"These big guys can only appear in the Xuanbing Abyss, and they usually eat the snow vines, jade lotus fruits and other plants in the Xuanbing Abyss, and they don't eat people. Therefore, the barbarian elephant attacking the city is indeed likely to be accused by others. Lord Xia Wei replied approvingly.
"In that case, I'm going to explore the Xuan Ice Abyss to see if anything has happened to it. Xu Yang thought for a while and said. The mysterious man in black aroused Xu Yang's great curiosity. Since the other party has disappeared, the only way to find him again is to search from the place where he is most likely to appear.
Xuan Bingyuan, since it is the haunt of the barbarian elephant, there may be clues of the man in black.
