Chapter 118: Helan Town
Taishi Xingwei touched his rosacea and became silent as if he recalled what he saw and heard when he was young.
After a while, he spoke: "Because although the Linyuan Empire does not expand externally, it does not prevent other countries from fighting, as long as they do not invade them, they will basically not interfere, for example, the Red Moon Empire will not interfere with the Shenwu Empire, and they can even collect the Red Moon Empire's borrowing fees to improve their own empire's economy." ”
"They are really ruthless and hateful, although they do not take the initiative to start wars, but they rely on other empires to make war profits by fighting each other, don't they have the humanity and compassion of friends on the same continent?" Mo Ran said angrily.
Taishi Xingwei sighed and said: "Once when I traveled to the Linyuan Empire, I found that their people were worshipping a god named Cross Sea, it is said that ten thousand years ago, the Cross Sea God used his supreme divine power to save them and disasters, moved them from outside the continent to here, and forcibly divided a country for them to multiply. They were invaders 10,000 years ago, so what humanity and conscience do you want them to have? ”
Taishi Xingwei's words brought a picture to everyone's mind.
A giant as tall as the sky, straddling the Great Wilderness World, relocating a dying race from one continent to another.
"Is there really a god in this world?" Dowling asked with a feeling of depression.
"I don't know if there is a god or not, but I know that if it is really according to what the people of the Linyuan Empire say, the least that can do this step must be the Saint Venerable Realm." Taishi Xingwei looked at the starry sky and said.
"Then why did this saint or god cross the sea to save this group of cold-blooded monsters?" Dowling asked puzzled.
"Then I don't know, maybe it's because of some deal." Taishi Xingwei shook his head and said.
Dowling reluctantly grilled the marinated steak on the fire, the oil and water coming out of the high temperature were roasted, and a fragrance wafted in the night sky.
Everyone fell silent and watched Dowling cook for them, wondering what they were thinking, maybe it was thinking about buying something in the Emerald City, or the war on the front lines of the Empire, or the cross-sea god who had moved a race from beyond the continent.
As the steak was finished, the golden kitchen knife waved and cut him up and distributed it to everyone, and Dowling put the iron bucket with white rice on the rack on the bonfire, and waited for everyone to finish eating the steak and then drink a sip of hot porridge, thinking that this was the most comfortable thing on a cold night.
After dinner, everyone was ready to rest, and each returned to the carriage, fortunately the carriage was big enough to sleep three people, otherwise the night would be difficult.
The interior of the carriage is insulated, so you can ensure the quality of sleep in this cold night.
After a night of silence, after dawn, everyone exercised in the morning in the snow, and after the morning exercise was the daily breakfast, after which they continued on the road.
There are still three hundred miles to the Emerald City, and this distance cannot be reached in a day, so they decided to settle down in a place called Helan Town today, this place is only a hundred miles away from the Emerald City, and they will definitely be able to reach it before dark tomorrow.
Nothing happened all the way, except for the rest of the horses to rest, the rest of the time was on the road.
"The house in front should be Helan Town." Quit said, pointing to a roof in the distance.
Hearing this, Dowling was shocked, and after a day of traveling, he could finally rest and rest.
As the convoy drove into the low city gate, Daolin was stunned for a moment, only to see that the streets of Helan Town were empty, it was just evening at this time, why was there no people at all?
Stopping the carriage, Dowling walked to the door of a house called Tianzhu Teahouse, lightly slammed the door, and found that the door had been locked from the inside.
There were also people jumping out of the carriage behind.
"What's wrong with Dowling?" Chubby ran over and asked.
"I don't know, you see why there is no anger at all in Helan Town." Dowling shook his head and said.
Su Chen also walked over, he also sensed that something was wrong, his eyes swept over the closed doors of the surrounding shops, and then closed his eyes and exerted internal force and began to perceive, after a while, he opened his eyes and shook his head and said, "There is no one within a hundred meters." ”
Taishi Xingwei got out of the car from the head, and he said with some confusion: "Twenty years ago, I used to pass by here, because it was close to the Emerald City, so it was still very lively at that time, why did it become like this place after twenty years?" ”
"Why don't we go any further?" Dowling said softly.
Everyone got back into the car, and Dowling drove the carriage forward.
The shops on both sides of the street were closed, as if the whole town had become a dead town.
"If something happens to a town, then there must be a notice before entering the town, and now there is no hint at all, which county is under the jurisdiction of Helan Town?" Dowling turned to ask Qu Drinking.
Quit the alcohol spread out the map and looked it up.
"It's Hezhou County." Qu Liquor said, pointing to the map.
"In which direction?" Dowling nodded and asked.
"Ahead!" Quit drinking and raise your finger forward.
"There's something weird here, let's go forward and go to Hezhou County." Dowling shouted and drove forward.
When passing by an intersection, Qu Shan suddenly grabbed Dowling's shoulder, Dowling was startled and hurriedly grabbed the reins, so suddenly that the carriage following behind almost rear-ended.
"What's wrong?" Dowling asked, turning his head.
Qu Jiu looked to the right side and said softly: "Someone was spying on us just now, at the mouth of the alley over there." ”
Dowling followed the gaze of the abstinent drinker, and there was not even a ghost on the desolate street.
"You can't be mistaken." Dowling asked suspiciously.
"No, you wait for me for a while, and I'll come when I go." Quit Liquor jumped out of the carriage and ran to the right, running directly into the alley on the side and disappeared.
Su Chen, Xiaopang, and Mo Ran all ran over from the carriage behind.
"What's wrong? Why did you stop walking all of a sudden? Chubby asked.
"What did you do when you quit drinking?" Su Chen's eyes looked in the direction where he had stopped drinking and disappeared.
Dowling shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, just now he said that he saw someone peeping at us, so he chased after him." ”
"I'll go with you, and watch out." Su Chen said with a sharp gaze, pulled out his long sword and chased in the direction of quitting alcohol and leaving.
"They're going to be fine, right?" Ink Ran asked a little nervously.
"Don't worry, there is a quit to drinking, and ordinary people are not his opponents at all." Taishi Xingwei got out of the carriage and said.
Sure enough, after a while, Quit Alcohol and Su Chen dragged a teenager back.
"What's the situation?" Dowling asked.
Seeing that he had brought people back, the people in the carriage behind him also came over.
"Let him tell you, this Helan Town is really not simple." Quit said as he pushed the boy to the carriage.
