Chapter 12: The Shogunate

Chapter 12: Makutenjo

The breeze in the woods, carrying the scent of the earth and the melodious chirping of birds, crossed the meadows, leaped over the crystal dewdrops, followed the indomitable sunlight, and swooped into the eyes of the sleeping Merge, waking him from his sleep.

The golden morning light made Merge's slightly open eyes feel a little uncomfortable, and Merge sat up and felt the warmth of the rising sun, and stretched a big lazy waist. His cheeks tickled a little under the gentle and damp forest breeze, and Merge raised his hand to rub his cheeks a few times.

Trapped and entangled, Merge jumped off the simple rattan bed, glanced at Su Bai, who was still asleep, and walked to the bitter goose river, picked up the cool river water, and washed his face.

Yesterday, after the two of them crossed the Bitter Goose River with the caravan, it was late at night. After discussing it with Su Bai, Moge decided to rest in the low forest on the banks of the Kugoose River for one night, and then set off for Makuten City early tomorrow morning.

However, the frustrated caravan did not continue to stay, and Renault's death caused Les to be in turmoil, and Rice decided to rush to Yue Fancheng overnight to prevent the caravan from happening again.

After the two of them killed the leader and deputy head of the Hunter Regiment and saved the caravan from the crisis, Les, who finally escaped from the clutches of the Hunter Regiment, just wanted to rush back to the headquarters of Yue Fancheng as soon as possible. Therefore, after crossing the Kugoose River, the caravan did not stop, but continued directly on the road and rushed to Yue Fancheng overnight.

In this regard, the two Mergers did not have any ideas.

Mo Ge and Su Bai were originally different from the caravan's destination, and since Rice, the caravan's leader, was in a hurry to return to Yue Fancheng, Mo Ge and the others did not persuade him to stay.

Mock could understand Rice's anxiety. After the caravan lost the five-star fighter Renault, not only was the cowardly and fearful Rice already collapsed, but the caravan itself was already at the end of its power, and the people were panicked and about to collapse into sand.

So, after the caravan left last night, the two of them spent the night alone in the middle of the woods.

However, because the banks of the Kugoose River were too muddy after the rain, and lying on the dry stones in the low forest, Su Bai felt that it was too hard and too stubborn, so Merge, who was annoyed by Su Bai's chatter and complaints, had to find some dry and soft rattan and weave two simple rattan beds for the two of them to rest.

However, because Su Bai's weight exceeded Merge's estimate, Su Bai also broke a rattan bed. Therefore, it was not until Murge made a stronger rattan bed with a gloomy face that the two of them tossed late into the night were able to fall asleep.

After a little washing, Merge did not disturb Su Bai, but caught a few fish from the bitter goose river and made a fire to roast them.

Because yesterday's rain did not stop until the evening, the firewood that Merge carefully selected in the low forest was still a little damp after a night of air drying, which also caused the fire in front of Merge to constantly "crackle".

After half a ring, a little tempting oil and water emerge from the surface of the grilled fish on the fire, and the flesh is grilled to a golden brown, which makes people appetite at first sight. The refreshing aroma that can seduce saliva is also gradually diffused by the breeze.

Merge glanced back at Su Bai, who was still lying on the rattan bed snoring, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up with a playful smile.

Merge picked up a grilled fish, put it to his mouth and blew hard, and the aroma of the fish gradually drifted to Su Bai's vicinity with Merge's blowing.

I saw that as the aroma wafted in, Su Bai, who was still asleep, suddenly smacked his lips a few times, and his fleshy nose twitched. Then, Su Bai's snoring stopped abruptly, and Su Fat, who was overflowing saliva at the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and grabbed it in the air, and his body unconsciously turned in the direction of Merge.

After Su Bai's fat hand grabbed the air a few times to no avail, Su Bai suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes suddenly looked at the golden fish meat in Merge's hand.

"Su Fat, get up and eat grilled fish. ”

Seeing that Merge waved the grilled fish in his hand to him, Su Bai, who was sleepy-eyed, licked his lips subconsciously.

Su Pang wiped the saliva on the corner of his mouth a few times, jumped off the rattan bed three times and divided by two, and ran to the fire without washing his hands. Su Pang hurriedly took down the grilled fish on the fire, and couldn't wait to bite into the crispy and fragrant fish.

"Oh! oh! hot! hot! hot! hot!"

Although Su Bai shouted that his mouth was hot, he still gulped down the tender fish.

Within a moment, Su Bai ate three grilled fish.

"Merge, your craftsmanship is not bad!" Su Bai said vaguely after eating the third grilled fish, chewing the fish meat in his mouth. As he spoke, Su Bai grabbed another grilled fish and ate it.

Seeing that Su Bai had finished eating three grilled fish in a blink of an eye, and had already started to eat the fourth grilled fish, Merge hurriedly eliminated the grilled fish in his hand, and also picked up a grilled fish and said, "You should leave some for me!"

Moments later, the two of them wiped out all the grilled fish. Su Bai lay on a rock, patted his bulging belly, and burped.

"You killed the leader of the hunter group yesterday, did you use fighting skills?"

"Sort of, otherwise, with my size, how could I burst out at such a fast speed, and I'm not a pervert with brute force like you. ”

"Well, it's really fast. Merge nodded, "It's not too early, it's time to leave after a while." ”

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

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

The distance between the Kugoose River and the Curtain City was not far, and before noon, Merge and Su Bai came to the outside of the Curtain Heaven City.

Merge looked up at the towering and heavy walls of Mutian City, and in the face of such a majestic city, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Compared to Makuten City, Blue Ear City, where Merge grew up, is nothing to be seen. In terms of the city walls alone, the walls of Mutian City are as much as half as tall as those of Blue Ear City. The manpower, material and financial resources spent to build such a tall wall were unimaginable to Merge.

Before entering the city, Mog saw the majesty of the city, which indirectly proved the prosperity of the city. According to Su Bai, the area of Makuten City is equivalent to the size of five Blue Ear Cities, or even more. Therefore, whether it is the population, prosperity, or military strength, it is much larger than Blue Ear City.

Standing under the walls of Makuten Castle, the huge dark black stone bricks in front of him were full of traces of time, and the ancient and vicissitudes of life that were invisibly exuded rushed towards the small Merge.

"Merge, what are you doing staring at the city wall, don't you go in?" Seeing that Merge stopped under the wall of Mutian City and refused to move for a long time, Su Bai, who didn't know why, urged.

"I'll go in later, there is a large alchemy circle arranged inside this city wall, a large alchemy defense circle that I have never seen before, I want to observe it first. Murge stared intently at the towering city wall and said to Su Bai.

"Okay, then I'll look for you in a few days when I'm done. ”

"Okay. ”

Seeing that Merge's eyes were still staring at the city wall, Su Bai waved his hand helplessly a few times and entered the tall gate of Mutian City alone.

Merge didn't know when Su Bai had left, he approached the city wall, and couldn't take his eyes off the complicated circuits of the super-large alchemy circle hidden among the stone bricks. Merge walked slowly along the city walls, and at the same time, the outline of the large alchemy circle gradually appeared in Merge's mind.

Merge stroked the hard and cold stone bricks, feeling the faint magic of the alchemy circle hidden under the stone bricks. In Merge's perception, although the magic emitted from under the stone bricks was indiscrete, it could still make Merge feel the potential power of the super-large urban defense alchemy circle.

"Hey, what are you doing, Grey Hair, stay away from the walls!"

It's just that the good times didn't last long.

Merge caressed the walls and walked on and on, until the soldiers on the walls shouted at him menacingly, and Merge realized how strange and funny his behavior was at the moment.

In the distance, the people waiting to enter the city around the city gate all looked at Merge with strange eyes, which made Merge suddenly embarrassed.

"Senior Brother Wenyu, do you see if that person has a problem with his brain? ”

In the crowd, an extremely athletic blond man in a black robe with tattooed sleeves looked at Merge's antics of touching the city wall with strange eyes, turned his head to a handsome young man beside him, and sneered with disdain.

The young man who was called Wen Yu by the blonde man had a fair and handsome face, and was also wearing a black robe with tattooed sleeves, and the chest of the black robe was tattooed with a golden star symbol. Wen Yu's clean face exudes a scholarly atmosphere, and his brown hair is meticulously tied behind him, which highlights his fresh and handsome extraordinary temperament.

Hearing the voice of the blonde-haired young man beside him, Wen Yu, who had cold and indifferent eyes, glanced at Moge's figure, and said expressionlessly: "I probably haven't seen a large-scale alchemy array." ”

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

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

Of course, Merge knew that there were many people in the crowd talking about his strange behavior at the moment, but he couldn't help it, who told him that he had never seen such a large alchemy array, and after taking a few glances at the alchemy circuit set up in the city wall, he was a little obsessed and forgetful for a while.

Murge, whose face was red, reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the city wall, looked left and right, and found that Su Bai had already left, and it was already noon at this moment. Realizing that he had been delayed for too long on the alchemy circle inside the walls of Mutian City, Merge hurriedly lowered his head and joined the queue waiting to enter outside the city gate.

Seeing Merge approaching the crowd, the chatter in the crowd pointing at Merge gradually became quieter.

Although the gates of Makuten Castle are large, there are also countless people who come and go in and out of Makuten Castle every day, so people entering and leaving Makuten Castle have to wait in line to enter. After waiting in line for about a quarter of an hour, Merge finally entered the Curtain Sky City, which Merge had been fascinated for a long time, after handing over two gold coins to the gate to guard the city in pain.

(I took a test across most of the imperial capital, and as for the result...... The baby is bitter, but the baby doesn't say T-T to ask for a recommendation vote to comfort him)
