Chapter 14: Lanka City
Lanka City is a town located in the northwestern part of the Star Luo Empire.
The streets are lined with shops and pedestrians on the road, this is the first time in ten years that Twilight Cloud has truly felt the difference between Douluo Continent and Blue Star, and the shops here are all the kind of buildings that tend to be Western-style spires.
Although Lanka City is not a particularly prosperous metropolis, because it is very close to the border of the Star Luo Empire, the folk customs are generally relatively strong, and most of the people seem to be rude and arrogant when they walk in a hurry.
There are three major forces in Lanka City, one of which belongs to the Chamber of Commerce, they are mainly based on various commodities, which can be said to be unique in Lanka City, and the other force is the mercenary union, they help people hunt soul beasts, adventurers, mercenaries, but they also take into account all kinds of grocery transactions.
In the city of Lanka, there is an unwritten rule that absolutely no one is allowed to engage in conflict within the city.
Unless you're strong enough to wipe out the entire city defenses! Otherwise, you must not challenge this rule!
Of course, if there is really an insoluble contradiction, in the Western mercenary area, there is a ring specially established for this purpose, and once you get into the ring, you will be buried in life and death.
This is also the norm in Lanka City.
The last force is also in the Douluo Continent, and every town has the Martial Soul Palace, the Martial Soul Hall is responsible for helping people awaken, and the Martial Soul distributes the Soul Master Yulu.
These three forces are located in Lanka City, east, west and south, and due north is the city lord's mansion, the center of power in Lanka City.
In the center of Lanka City, there is a luxurious martial arts academy, although the academy is not a powerful force, but every force will subconsciously avoid conflicts with the academy, and even deliberately curry favor with the academy.
You must know that in the Douluo Continent, not every ordinary person can successfully awaken the martial soul, and there are very few who can cultivate the martial soul, so in order to absorb fresh blood, these forces will have a great impression of the school.
At this time, in the Lanka Martial Spirit Academy, a young man was struggling to close his eyes and meditate in the cultivation room, and suddenly, a rapid knock on the door sounded.
"Young Master! According to the report, Zhang Yuner has returned today, but...! β
The young man's breath changed suddenly, and cold sweat broke out on his legs, and he hurriedly stammered, and said in a babbling voice.
"It's just that there is an extra young boy next to Miss Zhang, and the two are quite close...!"
The young man opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes sharp and cold, and asked word by word, "Are you sure?" β
The dog's legs trembled, and he nodded hurriedly, "It's true that my subordinates are true!" β
The boy took a deep breath, a gloomy look on his face.
"Who's that guy?"
"No...! Ignorance! The subordinates sent someone to follow him, but there was no result yet. β
The young man snorted coldly, "Then check!" I'd like to see who he is! Dare to provoke the woman I fancied! Hum! But... I want to see how much ability he has to make Zhang Yun'er take a fancy to him! β
"My subordinates understand! Subordinates retire! β
The dogleg turned around and ran out of the Martial Spirit Academy as if he had been amnestied, and the young man walked slowly to the window, looking at the lively crowd in the distance, and a ruthless color flashed in his eyes.
"The woman I Zhuang Bifan has taken a fancy to, and she has never missed! This time, I'm going to see, what are you capable of?! β
......
"Daddy, go back to the shop first! I'm going to take Brother Twilight around the city and play for a while before we go back. β
After Zhang Yun'er entered the city, it was like an elf returning to nature, and her whole body was full of agility, holding Twilight's hand all the time, bouncing and jumping, look here, look there.
In the end, he directly coquettishly said to Twilight: "Brother Twilight, is it okay?" You go shopping with others! β
She looked like a child, and Twilight shook her head with a helpless smile.
"Okay, anyway, it's my first time in Kalan City, otherwise I'll listen to Yun'er today."
"Yay! Brother Twilight is the best! β
Zhang Yun'er shouted excitedly, and then said a little frustratedly: "It's a pity that Daddy has to stay here to take care of the business, otherwise he can come out to play together." β
"It's okay!" Twilight Cloud smiled, "As long as you want, I can accompany Yun'er for a walk!" β
"Uh-huh! Let's go! β
Twilight nodded with a smile and took Zhang Yun'er's hand out of the Chamber of Commerce, and the two of them wandered around Lanka City.
Twilight Cloud is dressed in a green shirt and has a handsome appearance, like a big brother next door, and is approachable.
Zhang Yun'er is dressed in red, with a delicate appearance, and she is also very beautiful, but looking at the faint hint of admiration for Twilight Cloud between her eyebrows, it is obviously not as simple as it seems.
"Huh? Brother Duiyun, how can there be a sugar gourd seller here? β
Zhang Yuner pointed to a shop selling sugar gourds on the street, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sugar gourd? Then buy a few skewers and try them. β
Twilight nodded with a smile and took Zhang Yun'er's hand and walked in, seeing five or six strings of sugar gourds behind the counter at a glance.
Zhang Yun'er happily ran over, took two skewers, handed them to Duiyun's hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Duiyun, how about you taste it?" β
Twilight nodded with a smile and picked one up and put it in his mouth, the sweet juice filling his mouth was refreshing, his eyes lit up, and he smiled, "It's delicious." β
"Hehe, Brother Duyun likes it, there are a lot of them here, Brother Duiyun, you can also take a few strings, and I will bring them to my mother in a while."
Zhang Yun'er took a few more strings and put them in Duyun's palm, Duyun hesitated, but still took it, put it to her mouth and took a bite, it was sweet and sour, crispy, and the taste was really good.
He looked up at Zhang Yun'er's expectant eyes, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Yun'er, thank you then!" β
"Brother Duyun, don't be so polite, you have helped me so much, and you have saved the lives of our whole family, what is it when I invite you to eat a few strings of sugar gourds!"
Zhang Yun'er stuck out her tongue, looking naughty, which made Twilight look happy, and involuntarily reached out and rubbed Zhang Yun'er's hair.
Zhang Yun'er was stunned for a moment, a trace of strangeness flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up, and then, she showed a shy expression, lowered her head slightly, and looked shy.
Twilight withdrew her hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Then I won't be polite to Yun'er, let's go back together after a while!" β
Zhang Yun'er nodded, and the two continued to wander the streets, Twilight kept looking around, he always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, but he couldn't find the source of those eyes, and he didn't know who they were.
However, he wasn't worried, in Lanka City, no, in the entire Douluo Continent, could anyone hurt him?
Suddenly, Twilight frowned and looked down an alley on the left, where there was a restaurant with an extremely luxurious faΓ§ade that didn't look like an ordinary shop.
He glanced at Zhang Yun'er, and saw that the latter was looking around with his head up, his eyes shining, and he didn't notice his expression at all, so he quietly walked forward.
"Oops!"
Just then, an exclamation rang out in her ears, followed by a heavy tap on Twilight's shoulder.
He was startled, and was about to turn back when a figure threw himself into his arms, causing Twilight to nearly fall.
