Chapter Eighty-Nine: Arrival
Utan City is also becoming more and more silent, and it seems that they are all waiting for the day of the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony.
The major forces are secretly watching, as if they are waiting for what the Xiao family will do next.
What made them even more curious was whether Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, would let Xiao Yan be exempted from this test.
For a while, there were different opinions, and there were a lot of rumors in the entire Utan City.
At the same time, a flying demonic beast also arrived in Utan City.
In a wide square, the flying monster landed smoothly.
Celestial Star leapt down from the back of the flying beast and looked at the buildings around him, his eyes glinting with curiosity.
Utan City, the starting point of everything, the place where the Xiao family is located, even if it is Tianxing, it is still a little amazed and curious.
A faint layer of gold appeared on his eyes, and he looked somewhere, only to retract his gaze after a moment.
Skystar doesn't really like to stay in the city.
Pixiu's perception made the treasures around him nowhere to hide.
Even if some of other people's intimate things are stored in the ring, they can be vaguely perceived by him.
But in the city, all the breaths he perceives are the things of the owner, and the pedestrians are like piles of walking gold coins in his eyes, but he has nothing to do.
The same is true of the rich family, the three major families in the imperial capital, the royal family, and the Alchemist Guild, in his eyes, are all treasures that can only be seen but not touched, and this feeling makes him a little crazy.
The strong impact from the surroundings made him absent-minded when he picked up leaks in the stall, constantly interfering with his nerves.
That's why he doesn't like it.
But as the Celestial Star entered the range of Utan City, an even stronger feeling of heart palpitations suddenly came, which shocked him.
Even without asking, he could guess that it was the location of the Xiao family.
……
As the flow of people walked out of the square and onto the wide street, it was bustling as far as the eye could see, but it was on par with the large cities such as Black Rock City where Tianxing had stayed.
But that's just the surface.
There were no heavily armed troops patrolling the streets like Black Rock City and the Imperial Capital, only soldiers in twos and threes, bored with spears, resting in the shade around the corners of the streets.
His Royal Highness Yaoyue once said that even their royal family in Utan City rarely sent troops to station here, and when I saw it today, I realized that this was true.
Except for the main streets, where patrols are present, the rest of the places, such as the gathering place of the vendors in the market, are guarded by guards wearing uniform and badges of different shapes on their chests.
They are members of the three major families of Utan City, and they are present in the entire Utan City where interests are involved.
In the market, there is a surge of people.
However, the superficial prosperity still cannot hide the essence of the barren land.
Due to the distance of Utan City from the imperial capital, few alchemists would come, and there were almost no chapters in the entire city.
You must know that even the weak-line Maple Leaf City has the existence of the Alchemist Branch, which also shows from the side that Utan City is too remote.
If you want to buy some high-grade medicinal materials, I'm afraid you have to use the Mitre Auction House Branch in Utan City to start from the imperial capital.
In short, the level of medicinal herbs, pills, weapons, and fighting skills is lower, and the overall strength is naturally inferior to other cities.
However, since he came to Utan City, Tianxing did not plan to leave immediately, but pulled a passer-by and asked him where the Mitre auction house was located.
The passer-by who was pulled by Tianxing looked impatient, but when he saw the alchemist robe on Tianxing's body and the alchemist badge on his chest, the irritability on his face was instantly subdued.
Quite respectfully pointed out the direction towards the Celestial Star, if it weren't for the Celestial Star's refusal, he probably wanted to personally lead the Celestial Star to the Mitre Auction House.
In a few moments, Celestial Star came to a building that was even more magnificent than the surrounding buildings.
Several heavily armed guards in front of the door were looking around with their piercing eyes to prevent some people with ulterior motives from sneaking in.
When they saw a first-grade alchemist walking towards the venue, they immediately put on a rather respectful appearance.
Tianxing raised his eyes and looked at the Mitre Auction House branch in front of him, which naturally could not be compared with the specifications of the headquarters, but this level of decoration did not seem to be rough at all.
Obviously, they are not very prosperous cities, but the luxury of the branch is not lagging behind.
This is true here, and so is the Alchemist Chapter in Maple Leaf City.
Walking into the hall, the wide hall is brightly lit, and it is a golden and brilliant scene.
The noise of the outside world was also stripped away, and the roots of the ears were suddenly quiet.
There were only a handful of people in the hall.
The main trading objects of the Mitre Auction House here are only the three major families of Utan City and some small families that are slightly wealthy.
Except for the auctions held on weekdays, ordinary people rarely come to the Mitre Auction House to buy items.
On both sides of the hall, there are several booths, and the booths of the imperial capital headquarters are obviously much less, and the internal items are not too luxurious.
Seeing the arrival of an alchemist, the sharp-eyed attendants reported to the director of the auction house.
After a while, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume stepped forward with a smile on his face.
Ulla's eyes looked the stars up and down, pausing for a moment on the alchemist badge on his chest and the young face, and found that the young alchemist's face did not show a haughty look, which made him feel light.
With a smile on his face, Ula asked, "I wonder if this alchemist wants to shop or sell pills?" ”
Tianxing sank his mind into the ring, and a ghostly light flashed in his hand, and a purple gold token with a burst of aura appeared on his palm.
The token is emblazoned with a rather peculiar emblem that identical to the one engraved on the auction house, which is the family crest of the Mitre family.
Ulla's pupils shrank when she saw this token, and then she put her palm on her chest and saluted the stars slightly.
"Ula, the head of the Utan City branch, has seen the elders."
Tianxing nodded slightly, this token was given by Mitre Tengshan, and it could be used in any branch of the imperial capital, and its status was equivalent to that of an elder.
"Arrange a room for me, I'm going to stay in Utan City for a few days."
"Yes." Ulla answered.
At this moment, he was also extremely shocked in his heart, there seemed to be no such young alchemist in the family.
However, even though he had some doubts in his heart, he still arranged it resolutely.
That token naturally can't be faked, and Tianxing is still a first-grade alchemist, even if he doesn't have a token, he has to be cautious.
It's just that he hasn't returned to the imperial capital headquarters for a long time, but he doesn't know who the person in front of him is.
Putting aside the doubts in her heart for the time being, Ulla respectfully led Tianxing towards the inside of the auction house.
Tianxing followed Ula towards the second floor and asked him, "Is there anything worth noting happening in Utan City?" ”
As he walked, Ulla replied respectfully: "As a border city of the empire, Utan City has always been formed by three major families, and it is safe and sound on weekdays. It's just that the Xiao family, one of the three major families, seems to have some things that people talk about recently. ”
At that moment, Ulla explained the matter of Xiao Yan of the Xiao family to Tianxing in detail.
