The caravan continued along the ancient road at the foot of the Tien Shan Mountains. The trail is badly damaged, and there are occasional rust marks on the ground.

Sanmao rode on a horse, looking at the desolate ancient road, drowsy. Compared to the prosperity of the Demon City, the gap between here and the Devil City is too big. If it weren't for a group of interesting comrades-in-arms, he wouldn't want to come to this hellish place.

"Brother Bai, didn't you say that this is the Silk Road? Why is it just our caravan? Didn't see a single caravan? ”

"Sanmao, what you heard is all in the past, since the elven country copied the steamship technology, the goods have been transported by sea.

Without the demand from Europa, the Western Regions alone would not be able to produce so many goods. Now as soon as there is a war, the caravan is completely cut off.

Otherwise, with such a large-scale camel team as ours, there must be masters to suppress the formation, why do the bandits dare to rob it? It's not that they don't know the danger, it's that they really don't have to rob it. ”

"I heard that there are also many treasures in the Western Regions, both mines and wool, and a place like Qiuzi is still an oasis, can't it be rich?"

"If you want to be rich, you must first have peace. Moreover, there has to be transportation. ”

Henry pointed to the rust on the ground, "You see, this is the remnants of a railroad from ancient times. At that time, Emperor Li Zhi cooperated with the Divine Envoy of Light to build this railway in the Western Regions, and during the Tang Dynasty's global empire, Kangju became the most prosperous city.

Now there are only ruins left, and Kangju is also buried under the volcanic ash, alas, the vicissitudes of life. ”

"Speaking of railways, we will also start to build them in the summer. Xiliang, the governor of Sichuan and Chongqing, was preparing for the Sichuan-Han Railway, and I heard that 3.5 million taels of silver had been raised from the common people, and now they have all been deposited in the money houses in the magic city I mentioned earlier. ”

"Huh? Aren't those banks speculating in rubber stocks? In case the stock market crashes, isn't the money of the people of Sichuan and Chongqing wasted? ”

Erjin is the most sensitive to the economy, and immediately thought of the key issue.

"Two catties, you don't have to worry about the country and the people, anyway, everyone knows that the summer will be over, and it is not bad for this one thing."

"Henry, when the time comes, pat your ass and go back to Maple Leaf Country or New Franks, it is the people of Houxia who will suffer. When the war was in turmoil, my family's business must have been the first to be affected. ”

"Doesn't your family make guns? It will definitely make a fortune then. ”

"I'd rather not get rich than have people displaced."

Randy listened to the crowd chatting nonsense, and the atmosphere became depressed as he chatted.

Randy touches the greatsword behind his back and jumps off his horse. "Brothers, I'll tell you something serious. If the world is really in chaos in Great Xia, I must participate in it and fight in order to make the people live a good life.

When the time comes, our squad will be disbanded, and you can each go where you want. ”

"No, I've done it with Randy Boss in my life. Although I don't know what it means to serve the country and the people, I don't want the children after the Great Summer to wander like me.

No matter which side Randy Boss throws into, or even builds his own power, I will definitely follow Randy Boss. ”

"Randy, don't underestimate me, I heard what Shi Yuan said to you at the Hundred Beasts Banquet, and when the time comes, fight the world for the people, count me in."

"Okay, let's make a decision."

Randy stretched out his broadsword, dismounted, and put Sera Jiong on top of it.

Sanmao dismounted with a somersault, and the kitchen knife was put up.

"Erjin, you underestimate me, my Henry is surnamed Bai, an authentic Daxia person, how can this kind of thing be without me? Besides, I have met so many gentle and beautiful girlfriends in Houxia, how can I let them suffer all the time?

Even if I die in Houxia, I won't run back to the Maple Leaf Country. ”

A dragon's blood staff was attached to Randy's greatsword, and a holy fire order was added.

Osman hesitated for a moment, "The Ottoman Sultanate has long been a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and my ancestor Zhao Mama is an authentic Tang person. If I knew that I was afraid of death and didn't dare to contribute to my homeland, I would definitely scold me for being a descendant. ”

A golden staff was put on it.

"Woohoo!"

The last thing that landed on Randy's greatsword was a tiger's claw.

Long Wu's position is far away from this group of mercenaries who are fighting vanguards. However, there is a proverb in the dragon clan that all ants below the holy level are ants, and Long Wu can clearly sense what these people are doing.

Long Wu suddenly became interested in what the ants were doing, not because he was bored, but because he thought about the fate of the dragon clan.

"The dragons don't have a homeland, they only have such a tribe. The world is about to be in chaos, once you want to take sides, where will the dragons go?

In the future, when the world is the same and science and technology are developing rapidly, if the dragon clan is still out of the matter like now, it will definitely fall behind and be wiped out.

The dragon clan is too few, once you stand on the wrong team, no matter how strong the individual is, it will not help.

Those ants can unite as one, and the Houxia people claim to be the descendants of the dragon, should we help the Houxia? ”

Long Wu is not like those elders who are closed and sleep with energy crystals all day long. He often comes out to learn about the world and thinks much more.

Heaven gave the dragon clan a strong force, but it didn't give too much wisdom, and Long Wu didn't come up with any ideas when he thought of having a headache in his head.

"Forget it, let's take another look. Randy would rather fight than keep the contract than come to me, this little guy is to my taste.

However, it is not so easy to gain the allegiance of our dragon clan, and even become a dragon knight.

Randy, you weak chicken must at least become a saint, preferably a demigod, in order to gain the approval of those stubborn elders, I can't help you. ”

At dusk, a collapsed temple appeared ahead, and caravans camped here.

Henry's face was serious, and he walked towards the temple, and his comrades followed suit.

Walk through the empty gate, step past the collapsed stone pillars, and come to the mottled hall. Looking up at the seven statues on the altar, Henry knelt down reverently.

Henry, dressed in a suit and personable, has always looked like a cynical neo-Frankish aristocrat.

Foreigners don't kneel, and when the elven feudal kingdoms came to the capital for Hajj, there was a big diplomatic dispute over whether to kneel or not to kneel to the emperor.

Although Henry has always claimed to be a descendant of the Bai family, after all, he looks like a pure ghost on the outside, and now he actually kneels on his knees, Randy is very surprised.

This must be a temple of light, right? However, the Zoroastrian rules set by the Bright God do not advocate bowing. Even a priest of light like Henry, when he saw the statue of the god of light, all he had to do was bend down and bow.

Believing in God as if God is there, and not believing in God is not strange, and Zoroastrianism has always adhered to this tradition.

Some sects claim that if they don't worship his god, the whole family will suffer calamity or something. Compared with the rules of Zoroastrianism, the god of light is much more generous, so he is also more loved by the Houxia people who advocate self-reliance.

Henry put his hands on his chest and made a flame shape, muttering to himself, not knowing what he was praying for.

Randy had seen a lot of them in the Temple of Light, and he raised his eyes to look at the altar, huh? What is enshrined on the altar is not the familiar god of light.
