Chapter 5: Departure

Finlandtown was a medium-sized city in the western province of the Dalahan Empire, but the name of the 'medium-sized city' was considered controversial throughout the empire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The source of this controversy was a Warcraft riot twenty years ago, when Finlandtown was still a low-level city, and due to its unique location in the western provinces, Finlandtown was not the first to bear the brunt of the Warcraft riots. At that time, the western provinces did not pay attention to the monster riot, which directly caused the two low-level cities and one medium-sized city in front of Finland City to be reduced to ruins in the beast tide.

A large number of civilians and merchants fled to Finland City, and at this time, the western provinces also felt the seriousness of the situation, and sent a large number of troops and supplies into Finland City, finally stopping the beast tide outside Finland City.

Due to the destruction of the previous cities, the large influx of people led to a serious overpopulation of Finlandtown, so the Western Provinces sent a large number of manpower and materials to expand Finlandtown, and raised Finlandtown to a medium-sized city.

However, a medium-sized city needs to accumulate for a long time, and although Finlandtown is rapidly expanding and developing, there are still many deficiencies in many aspects, so the whole empire has a slight idea of the name of a medium-sized city in Finlandtown. There is even a disparaging nickname of 'Beast Tide Benefit City'.

As a member of Finlandtown, Dukang also deeply agrees with this derogatory title. The slum where he lived as a child was one of the after-effects of the rapid expansion and development of those years. Even if this slum is still expanding over time, and even though Finlandtown has a lot of prosperity and other places to praise, how can Finlandtown deserve the glory of a medium-sized city if such a place exists?

Then, the place where he is going is the capital of the Darahan Empire, which is known as one of the three higher cities of the empire...... What kind of prosperity is there, and will there be slums as well?

Sitting on the magic windmill, Du Kang couldn't help but think.

"Listen, everyone, the windmill will set sail after the hourglass is gone, move faster, and no one will wait for you poor devils after a while!"

A bald man brandished a parchment roll and roared back and forth on the windmill. A short man who had quickened his pace at the sound of the urging accidentally bumped into him, and was immediately kicked by the bald man.

"Forgot to bring your eyes, you filthy poor devil!

The short man didn't dare to refute loudly, and went to find his seat. The bald man seemed to sense that someone was watching him, and immediately glared viciously around him.

"Look at it! You poor ghosts, damn it, just pity you poor ghosts, the Finnish City Law has lowered the price of the magic windmill by one silver coin, damn it, that's a silver coin!"

His gaze moved to Du Kang's side, and Du Kang quickly withdrew his gaze.

The seats of the magic windmill are a little yellowed, the leather chairs have even been torn open to see the raw edges rolled up inside, and there is a strong smell of food and moisture as the breeze blows.

It smells bad, but there is no way, the future of going to the imperial capital is unknown, and Du Kang does not dare to spend too much. You can only ride on the lowest magic windmills.

I've heard that magicians don't sit on this kind of popular goods, but if they become magicians in the future, how will they go to another place?

"Bang~" The black package rolled onto the seat next to Du Kang and loaded it on Du Kang's waist, interrupting Du Kang's reverie.

"One hundred and forty-three, one hundred and forty-four, one hundred and forty...... Ha, one hundred and forty-five. This is it. ”

Looking up, a blonde and blue-eyed boy with a backpack on his back lowered his head and counted the seat numbers, and sat next to Du Kang.

He was about the same age as Du Kang, and his complexion was a little sallow. It seems that he has been on the road for a long time, and he looks like a dusty man.

After sitting down, the teenager scratched his shaggy hair. Under the sunlight, Du Kang saw a large area of dandruff falling down, even floating to the side.

This made Du Kang, who has always loved cleanliness, couldn't help but move his buttocks.

Maybe Du Kang moved a little widely, and he didn't see a person sitting on the other side of him. To be precise, a person asleep.

With this move, her elbow accidentally hit her waist.

"Be careful!" the owner of the voice raised his fur hat, revealing a pair of sleepy eyes, and glanced at Du Kang dissatisfied. The voice is crisp, like the cry of a young bird.

"I'm sorry. Du Kang, who noticed it, immediately turned his head and apologized to the person next to him. When I saw the other party's dress, it was slightly strange.

It's obviously a girl's voice, how can you wear a dark leather coat and a man's dress?

But how people like to wear it is their business, Du Kang tightened his collar and shrunk into the chair to take a nap.

After a few moments of waiting, a voice echoed through the magical windmill.

"Let's go!"

The bald man gave an order, and the magic windmill slowly suspended from the ground, which was already more than ten meters high, and when it floated into the air, the entire magic windmill almost looked like a hill floating in the air.

With an even more violent shaking, Du Kang felt the sound of clattering gears from the bottom, as if some magic array was running, and the leather cushion shook his body a little numb. At the same time, a gust of wind blew, and the surrounding scene quickly regressed.

Airplanes~

A burst of light lit up from the bottom of the magic windmill and gradually spread upward, and a warm feeling spread throughout the windmill, Du Kang felt that the wind around him suddenly stopped, the noise outside the windmill disappeared, and the feeling of wanting to vomit became less intense.

Then he saw a ray of light spread from all around him to five or six meters above his head, and a transparent shield enveloped the entire magic windmill.

The feeling of being overweight came again, and Du Kang's body leaned back suddenly, and he fell heavily on the back chair, causing a scolding from the people behind him.

The activation process of the magic windmill made Du Kang very uncomfortable, and he felt like throwing up.

Du Kang cursed in his heart. It seems that Old Tom is right, and what the magic puzzle ad says is all false. What is comfortable and no bumps...... It's all fake!

............

The magic windmill was fast, but it was still too slow for a long journey, so slow that many of the older passengers chose to take a nap with the blankets they had prepared.

At the speed of the magic windmill, it would take seven or eight hours to get to the imperial capital of Auslia. Du Kang, who was riding the magic windmill for the first time, was dazed by the start-up process, and the idea of taking a good look at the scenery outside the window on the windmill was also dispelled.

Now he just wants to get a good night's sleep.

However, he couldn't sleep.

It's not that Du Kang is excited, but ...... There was a constant sound of scrapping and rubbing next to him.

The voice was familiar, and Du Kang had heard it not long ago.

He opened his eyes a little helplessly and looked at the blonde boy sitting next to him.

The boy was staring at something in his hand with his head down, frowning, his hands constantly turning.

Between the hands, there is a fifth-order Rubik's Cube.

The source of the sound comes from this fifth-order Rubik's Cube.

Du Kang looked at him for a while, and found that this guy was actually having a hard time even restoring one side of a fifth-order Rubik's cube, and no matter how anxiously he turned it, he couldn't piece together one side.

"Click, Click, Click, Click......"

The sound of the axes rubbing between the Rubik's cubes is extremely harsh in a small space.

Du Kang tried to ignore the sound and forced himself to sleep. But after trying for a while, Du Kang found that he couldn't do it. The sound of fragments was constantly drilling into his ears, as disturbing as a cat's paw scratching a wall.

Close your eyes and open them repeatedly. Du Kang, who failed to force himself to fall asleep, couldn't help but gently touch the young man with his elbow and said, "Friend, can you be quieter?"

The young man glanced at Du Kang, and after he came to his senses, he scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"Ah, I'm sorry. You sleep, you sleep ......"

Du Kang watched him scratch his head, a little dandruff falling from his temples, and closed his eyes.

About a quarter of an hour later, Du Kang felt like he was about to fall asleep.

The voice is here again.

"Click, click, click......" This time the voice was more urgent, as if expressing the owner's impatient mood.

Du Kang opened his eyes helplessly.

Sure enough, this teenager couldn't help but start restoring this Rubik's Cube again.

Du Kang couldn't help but remind him again.

The boy was very kind, and knew that he was disturbing others. He nodded awkwardly and stopped moving.

Du Kang continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

After a while, the sound of clicking sounded again......

After repeating this several times, Du Kang was a little helpless.

He could see that it was a lucky Rubik's Cube. There must be something hidden in it, and it seems that this young man will not stop until he unlocks this Rubik's Cube.

After thinking about it, Du Kang touched the young man and stretched out his hand to him.
