Chapter Twenty-Eight: Return to the Luo Lan Empire

As I said before, green not only breeds life and vitality, but also sometimes breeds sin and destruction. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just like the Handal people in the grassland, in the beginning, everyone was a herdsman, they grazed their own cattle and sheep in the grassland every day, they took the tent as their home, and watched a few cattle and sheep slowly become a dozen, then dozens, and finally became a large herd with hundreds of livestock.

They milked cattle and sheep, sheared sheep, delivered cattle and sheep, and then exchanged with other herdsmen or passing merchants for the necessities of their own life, they looked at the blue sky, green grass, clear river, they sang loudly, leisurely but contented life, but one day, a snowstorm came, most of the livestock lost their lives in the face of natural disasters, and those who were scared away could never be recovered, and the rest may only be a few dozen.

In the days that followed, his cattle and sheep became less and less, some were taken away by wolves, some fell into the swamp, until the last one fell in front of him.

What should he do then?

Perhaps, he didn't think about anything, he wandered around aimlessly, perhaps, he happened to meet another herdsman.

Human nature is inherently good, but when bad luck befalls a person and he is desperate, he may not be able to maintain a pure and good heart, and it must be replaced by -

Why am I so miserable, but he is so happy?

Envy gradually fermented into jealousy.

Self-harm and self-pity have also turned into an indictment of the injustice of fate.

In the darkness, he walked slowly towards the flock, perhaps, on the way, he was still hesitating, but when he took a sheep, all he could think of was to run away, as quickly and far away as he could.

Thus, the first horse thief was born.

And now the grassland of the Tianlan Continent has not even formed a tribe, let alone the overlord who can unify this grassland in the future.

Only after the formation of the tribe will the profession of horse thief slowly disappear, but the life of the herdsmen may not be able to improve more, the horse thief is gone, replaced by the warriors of the tribe.

The peoples of the steppe, whether in this world or in the previous life, their style has always been - plunder, in Chris's view, being born in the steppe was originally a misfortune.

And in this grassland, how many years will it take for the kind of tragedy that the three of them saw with their own eyes to reappear?

"Decades is not enough, hundreds of years are always needed. Chris muttered.

"What?" Pandis didn't understand.

"Nothing. Chrissy shook his head, he wanted to say that the progress of mankind would always be accompanied by similar tragedies, but it was too cruel to say that it would be too inappropriate to exit at this time, so he gave up.

At this time, it was already August, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, so the three of them also accelerated their journey, and finally entered the territory of the Luo Lan Empire at the end of August.

The borders of the Luo Lan Empire are also lush green forests.

Chris took a deep breath and said, "I really miss the taste of the japinch flower, but unfortunately there is no one here." ”

"Do you like that scent?" said Pandis, snuggling into his arms, in a low voice, "I'm homesick too." ”

Stiena followed behind her, and she didn't know if there was a longing expression on her face at this time.

Who would she be missing?

Aya?

"This is the southern part of the Luo Lan Empire, and our first stop is the Lantis Academy of Magic. Then," Chriss, kissing Pandis's long green hair, "go back to Kib and we'll get married." ”

"Hmm!" replied Pandis, blushing.

When you enter the border, you will definitely pass through the place of Mirin, where there is a beautiful place called Minami Yiya. A slender road leads to a secluded deep valley; A clear stream flows through the woods along the deep valley to the depths, forming the turbulent Nanyiqu River, which roars and trickles through the valley. The trees on both sides of the river are either tall or full of branches. Pale yellow pineapples, hanging from the branches of tall trees, like the curtains of fairies in fairy tales; Wildflowers are swaying, delicate and charming. The breeze is slow, the white clouds are long, the empty mountains and birds are singing, walking into it, and being in the valley of heaven and earth.

And here, there is also a small village, here, there are only more than 40 households, don't look at the small number of people here, but it bears the supply of firewood for nearly 100,000 people in the city of Gurnai, the border of the Luolan Empire twenty miles away.

They cut down the huge pine trees, cut off the branches on them, split them, let them dry for several months, and then split them into firewood, loaded them onto wagons, and sent them to the city of Gurnai.

The dwellings here are all carved out of wood and hand axes, with edges and corners, and are very standardized and neat. The foundation is made of stones, and then the thicker wood is placed on the lowest layer, layer by layer, and the second layer is pressed against the first layer. Usually wooden wedges are used, and the wood is drilled into a hole first, and then reinforced with wooden wedges.

The people here were simple and hospitable, and the three of them rested here for the night, and then entered the city of Gurnai with the carriage carrying firewood.

Gurnai City, surrounded by an extremely long tall wall, standing under the city wall, there is no end on both sides at all, according to records, this section of the city wall is all made of huge stones, with a total length of more than 100 kilometers, known as the most majestic border trench of the Luo Lan Empire.

A long time ago, Chris wanted to see it with his own eyes more than once, but at this moment, standing under this wall, Chris secretly shook his head.

It was built by the empire more than 100 years ago, and it is certain that it has never been repaired since it was built, and the more than 100 meters at both ends of the entrance are still in good condition, and it is obvious that it has been repaired, but in the rest of the place, although it is not serious, there are holes and broken walls that appear to be broken, and on the top of the city wall, except for the entrance, there are no guards.

At the entrance of the huge city gate, there was no shadow of strategic items such as rejecting horses, and there were only two guards left to check the entrances and exits, and they were all lazy, but when they put away the money, they were much more energetic.

The three of Chris waited until the twenty wagons carrying the firewood had entered, and then led the horses slowly to the city gate.

"What for?" the guard held out his hand to the three of them.

"Lantis Magic Cadets are out on a trip. Chris said lightly.

"Oh?" the guard was stunned, "from the Lantis School of Magic?"

His body couldn't help but put away the slackness on his face, straightened his body slightly, looked at the three of them slightly, and his tone was a lot more respectful: "Please show the three of you proof." ”

Chris nodded, pulled out the Rantis School of Magic badge, and placed it in the palm of his hand. (To be continued.) )
