Chapter 10: Dragon City
In the early morning, in the mountains outside Longcheng, the scorching summer sun shines down through the leaves like scattered gold, and the mountain road twists and turns.
"Daddy, do you say that there will be monsters here, I heard those mercenaries in the city say that there are monsters here, although no one died, but most of them were scared" A little girl wearing a green silk dress, with an elegant face and a little baby fat, some cute jumped and ran on the mountain road, turned to talk to her father.
"Kui'er, don't listen to those people's nonsense, how can there be demon beasts outside this Dragon City, the city lord is the existence of the Martial Emperor, if there are any demon beasts, they would have been cleaned up by the city lord a long time ago, besides, those guys have not worked hard for a day or two, it is estimated that they are making excuses for their cowardice" A man in a coarse cloth robe, about twenty-seven or eight, with an iron sword at his waist, his expression was a little serious, although he said that those mercenaries were not, but his sharp eyes were guarded all around.
"Hey, this is, Kui'er, come back quickly, there is a smell of blood in front, I'll go ahead" The middle-aged man smelled a familiar smell, he was a mercenary, he was very sensitive to this smell, and quickly called the cute little girl in front, and when the little girl heard it, she immediately ran behind the middle-aged man and pulled the middle-aged man's left hand.
"That's, Kui'er, wait, don't go over yet" The middle-aged man saw that there seemed to be a person lying in the weeds in front of him, and approached cautiously, but he didn't think that the little girl named Kui'er next to him ran over directly, and the middle-aged man was a little helpless, so he had to hurry up.
"It's okay daddy, it's a little brother, there are blood stains all over his body, and the injury is not light, daddy, take out some of your gold sore medicines, and if there is more blood, this little brother may die here" The little girl named Kui'er, helped up the seriously injured teenager, looked at the middle-aged man a little anxiously, the middle-aged man smiled helplessly, took out the gold sore medicine from the package he was carrying behind his back, and threw it to Kui'er, Kui'er reached out to catch the plug, poured some liquid from the bottle in his hand, and wiped it off the boy's body, the boy had a lot of blood, but there was no fatal place, Kui'er let the middle-aged man carry the boy and began to hurry again, the boy felt a sense of warmth on the back of the middle-aged man, sobered up, saw that it was an uncle carrying himself, and hurriedly coughed a few times。
"Little brother, are you awake, how do you feel about your body, my name is Long Tian, this is the little girl Nightshade, I just saw you covered in blood on the road, so I saved you" Long Tian saw that the young man woke up, and quickly put down the young man, and asked with some concern.
"My name is Wuran, Uncle Long, it's okay, thank you for saving your life, otherwise I might die of excessive blood loss in a coma, by the way, Uncle Long, where is this?
"This is Dragon City, as for what you said about Luotian Town, there are two extremes from here, Dragon City is in the easternmost part of the Aolong Empire, and Luotian Town is in the northernmost part of the Aolong Empire, little brother, you won't be a person from Luotian Town, see that you are covered in blood, you must be hunted down by the enemy, let's hurry into the city, the city lord in the city is the master of the Martial Emperor Eight Pins, and ordinary people dare not make trouble in Dragon City."
"Yes, yes, let's go" Wu Ran was stunned, this was so far away, he had also heard of Dragon City, Dragon City was the first pass of the border of the Proud Dragon Empire, it has stood here for thousands of years, and it has never been destroyed, it is the first pass of the Proud Dragon Empire except for the capital, but it can be seen that the father and daughter are kind people, but they did not resist, they responded well, and followed the two of them to Dragon City.
"By the way, Uncle Long, do you know what has happened in Luotian Town recently?" Wu Ran asked as he walked a little worried about his family.
"Well, I don't know very well, I'm just a mercenary in the martial arts realm, I haven't been to the city and don't know much about the latest news, I'll help you ask when you get to the city" Long Tianran saw that Wuran's expression was a little dim, and he guessed that the person he cared about should be in Luotian Town, and hurriedly said.
"Little brother, how did you come to Dragon City from Luotian Town, this distance spans almost the entire empire, and the strength of the little brother doesn't seem to be as high as mine, how did you do it?"
"Hehe, there was some accident, and I came here" Wu Ran didn't say much. Seeing that Wuran didn't say much, Long Kui knew that he didn't want to say it, but he didn't ask again.
The three of them stood at the gate of the city, the cyan stone was a little blackened by the time, and some places on the city gate were black and red, and the city wall was as high as thirty meters, which made people look afraid of the heart.
"Is this Dragon City, this kind of momentum is simply overwhelming, it's really daunting" Wu Ran saw such a city wall for the first time, it can be said to be a fortress, and there are knife marks left on the weather-beaten city card.
"Yes, no matter how many teenagers I have lived in Dragon City, every time I see the city wall, I will sigh, I think I have been born in Dragon City for twenty-eight years, and my daughter is eleven years old, it is really time to fly" Long Tian looked at the city wall and sighed a little.
"I said don't talk about it, and you can't even catch up with lunch, let's go home first, when the time comes, the little brother will try my craft, my craft is very delicious" Long Kui looked at the two who sighed, a little speechless, and hurriedly urged, Wu Ran and Long Tian saw that Long Kui said this, so they had to go to the city.
Recently, because of the changes in the Ice Rain Empire, the precautions are very strict, but fortunately, Long Tian was also a soldier before, and he knows a lot of acquaintances, otherwise it would not be so easy for an outsider to enter.
Back to Long Tian's own residence, the room is not too big, but it is also quite spacious, the house is tidy, there is no dirty mess that mercenaries should have, and soon Long Kui made a meal, took out a few pots of wine, and came to the table to call Wuran to eat, Wuran was not very thick-skinned, twisted for a while, and was helplessly pressed to eat by the hospitable two.
"By the way, Uncle Long, why haven't I heard you talk about Aoi'er's sister's mother," Wu Ran asked.
"The child and his mother left early, when Kui'er was five years old, the hostile empire joined forces to invade, the city lord and the enemy general died together, the child and his mother in order to save Kui'er, lured the enemy with her body, and was hacked to death with a knife, damn, I was serving in the army at that time, with the previous city lord killing the enemy on the battlefield, woo, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have listened to the words of the child and went to the battlefield without hesitation, if I was at home at that time, the child and his mother would not have died, I'm sorry for the child." Long Tian's expression was gloomy, with remorse, and his face was unwilling, the nine-foot-tall man actually cried, who said that men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place.
"Daddy, my mother didn't blame you, my mother said to Kui'er when she led away the enemy, Daddy is a hero, go to protect the country, protect more people, tell Kui'er not to blame you, Daddy, don't cry, my mother doesn't like to see you like this" Long Kui walked to Long Tian's side, gently helped Long Tian wipe away his tears, he pretended to be strong, his small body trembled a little, obviously remembering his mother. Seeing this, Wuran hurriedly apologized, and it took a while for the two of them to calm down.
"Little brother Wuran smiled," Long Tian looked at Wuran with some embarrassment.
"How can there be, Uncle Long, this is called true temperament, Uncle Long, I salute you" Seeing that the two of them did not fall into sadness again, Wu Ran quickly changed the topic and talked about a lot of things, from noon to night, Wu Ran also knew a lot of things in Dragon City.
Dragon City is the first pass on the border of the Proud Dragon Empire, the garrison outside the city is known as a million, there are three masters at the level of the Martial Emperor, one is the city lord of the Dragon City, Lu Long, the eighth rank of the Martial Emperor, one is the generalissimo Xiang Xiong who is stationed outside the Dragon City, the seventh rank of the Martial Emperor, and the other is the deputy marshal of the garrison Murong Allure Wuhuang Sanpin, I heard that Murong Allure is the sister of Murong Aotian, the current emperor of the Proud Dragon Empire, with outstanding art of war, superior strength, and loves military affairs since childhood, so he came to Dragon City as a deputy marshal, originally Murong Aotian was unwilling, but he couldn't resist his sister, there was no way but to let her come here as a deputy marshal, fortunately, Murong Allure's strength was already the third grade of the Martial Emperor, compared to his own strength, he doesn't admit much, but he is not too worried.
Wu Ran was taken to the guest room by Long Kui, and Long Tian was already drunk and went back to the room to rest.
"Brother Wuran, you are in good health, but today you look like you have lost too much blood, so Kwai Er will retire first, you have to rest well" Long Kui smiled playfully at Wu Ran, closed the door and left.
Wuran was lying on the bed, some missed his family, worried about his father, vaguely remembered that the elders in the family blew themselves up one by one at that time, and some were anxious and couldn't sleep, Wuran looked at the moon outside the window, forced out his distracting thoughts, put the halberd head that had been on his body on the inside of the bed, and fell asleep with the idea of waiting for tomorrow to go out and ask.
