Ten days later in the afternoon.

A block in the western area of Zuyang City is full of people, and exotic shops are lined up and lively.

Many men and women dressed in Western-style civilian clothes came and went, most of them were blonde and blue-eyed Westerners, and black-haired and black-eyed Easterners were a minority.

"It's really strange that the architecture here is completely different from the rest of Zuyang City."

The girl dressed in the goose-yellow Xia lady's dress looked up at the Western Continent-style buildings with towering minarets and pointed arches on both sides of the road, and there was some surprise opening.

The young man in the dark robe and long sleeves beside the girl smiled and explained:

"Sister Ye doesn't know, I heard Counselor Li mention this a few days ago, Zuyang City was originally full of Zhuxia-style pavilions and pavilions a few decades ago, and there were no Western-style buildings."

"It was only later that with the outbreak of the steam revolution in the Western Continent and the rapid development of ship technology, it was a hundred times easier for Xinhan to do business with the Western Continent than in the past, and now the number of ship passengers traveling to and from the Western Continent of New Han in one year is more than the sum of the previous 20 years."

"Due to the increasing intensification, the countries of the Western Continent have built several embassies in the west of this ancestral city, and merchants from Tamriel spontaneously moved in this area to do business and live in this area in the west of the city, and over time, most of the shops here have been taken over by them, and the architectural form here has gradually changed to the appearance of their hometown."

Hearing Thorn's explanation, Ye Qingyan nodded slightly:

"So gradually it became called Westman Street."

"Not bad."

Thorn smiled for sure.

Ye Qingyan suddenly thought of something, and looked at the young man suspiciously:

"By the way, Ah Jian, a few days ago, I saw Counselor Li and Counselor Chai visiting Zuyang City with you, why haven't they shown up in the past two days."

"They went back to their own sects in the states the day before yesterday, and they returned to their hearts like arrows, asking me to say goodbye to you."

Thorn explained with a smile:

"Xinhan Kyushu is autonomous by state, and the warlock clan family governs one side of its own, and Counselor Li and Counselor Chai are both from this background. There are two requirements for a warlock to hold a key position in the state, on the one hand, he must be licensed by the state, and on the other hand, he must actually contribute to the new Han in order to be promoted. ”

"After they met the monarch and the princes to be promoted to the fifth rank, the news had already spread back to the sect where they came from, and when the news of the sect came, they immediately returned to their hometown to take up important positions."

Seeing that the girl nodded thoughtfully, Jing Zithorn pointed to a Western-style building with a pointed ribbed vault and slender pillars not far ahead, and turned his head to look at the girl and stretched out his right hand:

"Since the two counselors of Li Chai are no longer there, is this beautiful young lady willing to let me lead you to swim in this exotic continent?"

His words and the posture of stretching out the palm of his right hand and handing it upwards were typical of the posture of an Abile gentleman inviting a lady, Ye Qingyan's cheeks were slightly hot and filled with an intoxicating red, and she naturally stretched out her hand and put it on the palm of the young man:

"Poor mouth."

The girl was dressed in a traditional lady's dress, wearing a silver forehead ornament, and her hair was knotted on the top and naturally hung down on her shoulders, which was the hanging hair commonly used by the ancient Xia people who had not been out of the pavilion.

Seeing the girl's delicate and beautiful state, Thorn Thorn felt a wave in his heart, and naturally held the girl's hand, and the two entered the most lively Western-style building just now.

The flow of people in this Western-style building is very frequent, and the two of them follow the flow of people, and see that the ground is paved with flat white stones, and huge kerosene lamps are hung on the ceiling at intervals, sprinkling dim light.

Everywhere in the shops on both sides, blonde and blue-eyed Westerners are serving as clerks and shopkeepers, talking with customers entering the door.

All the way forward, but there are no words.

Ye Qingyan still turned his head with a red jade face, the plain hand held by the young man was sweating slightly, and the thorn thorn was also beating slightly faster, and the palm of the hand holding the girl was getting wet.

The two roamed without saying a word all the way, but gradually there was a wonderful tacit understanding between the two.

There was an ambiguous atmosphere between the two, and at this moment, a dispute came from the front.

"Why do you Xinhan cut taxes on the Abile Sinlery, but we Nords can't?"

"Why? That's NEXCOM's rule! ”

"What a rule! I think you just look down on us Nords! ”

The dispute became more and more fierce from small to big, one of them had a clear bite in the Zhuxia language, and the other person had a strange tone, which seemed to be the newly learned Zhuxia language of the people of the Western Continent.

The quarrel suddenly broke the gradually ambiguous atmosphere between the two, and Thorn Thorn Ye Qingyan suddenly came back to his senses and turned his head to look at each other.

"Sister Ye, let's take a look?"

Thorn smiled and gritted his teeth.

"Okay."

Ye Qingyan's eyebrows sank slightly in agreement.

By the time the two of them followed the crowd to the place where the sound came out, there were already a lot of people around here.

There are black-haired, black-eyed Xia people in Western-style civilian clothes, there are also blonde and blue-eyed gentlemen who are gentlemen of the Abilee country at first glance, and there are even blonde and blue-eyed men with tiger backs and bear waists.

Thorn reached out and patted the man on the shoulder, and asked softly:

"Excuse me, can you borrow a way?"

The rough-skinned white-skinned big man turned around and saw that it was a Xia clan Xiaodouding wearing a foreign costume, whose height was less than his chest, and he immediately yelled in Zhuxia language very irritably:

"What do you ...... Lao Tzu?"

Before the words fell, a flash of inspiration flashed in the eyes of the thorns, and the mana imprint inlaid with a triangle in the outer ring that was unrecognizable to the mortal eye was facing this person.

"Okay, okay, both please."

The irascible Nord brute suddenly became more tempered, and he sluggishly removed his thick body like a brown bear.

Ye Qingyan was slightly stunned when he saw this, and his starry eyes looked at the young man in front of him with surprise.

Thorn pulled the girl forward, turned around and smiled:

"This Nord barbarian has no strength, it's okay to beat ordinary people, but mortals are equal in front of spells, this is the truth."

Seeing the young man's confident and calm demeanor, the heart of the somewhat irritable girl who was a little noisy by the dispute throbbed.

The side face that was originally red and faded appeared a little red.

The two walked a few steps forward, and the arguing person finally appeared in front of them.

A total of four people are arguing, belonging to two parties.

There is only one of them, a middle-aged man of the Xia clan wearing a new Han official robe, and his shape is relatively simple, probably just a small official.

On the other side are three big men with blond hair and blue eyes and stubble, who know at a glance that they are barbarians from Nord in the Western Continent.

"Xinleri and Abilee have established diplomatic relations with our Xinhan for many years, and there are frequent trade exchanges, so naturally there are preferential treatments, and you Nords like to steal and play tricks and harm Xinhan merchants in your own country, so it is naturally impossible to have preferential treatment for you!"

The Xinhan officer yelled with his chest puffed out.

"That's right, the Nords have always had a bad reputation."

"We Aberites will be slaughtered when we go to Nord, let alone the Xinhan."

Two Aberian gentlemen, dressed in Western-style tweed trousers and holding a cane in their hands, nodded in agreement in Western Continental.

When the three Nord barbarians heard this, and two more Abiles commented, their faces suddenly turned ugly, they stared at the Abiles fiercely, turned their heads and roared at the Xinhan officials who were in charge of retrieving the taxes of the shops on Westman Street:

"You Xinhan just look down on us Nords, look at how we teach you!"

The three of them could not win the dispute, so they decided to attack with heavy force.

They could no longer suppress the fury in their hearts, and they didn't care about the consequences of doing something here, and one by one the blue tendons on their foreheads appeared and rushed towards the target.

The young man of the Xia tribe with a briefcase in his hand didn't expect that these barbarians would really dare to make a move against the New Han people in the New Han Kingdom.

"Humph!"

Listening to the words of the two parties just now, Thorn Thorn already had a general understanding of the current situation, and seeing that the Nord barbarian was going to commit murder against his fellow clan in front of him, he immediately let go of the hand holding the girl, and the mana urged the figure to sweep forward.

Seeing that they had pounced in front of the Xia youth, the three Nord barbarians stretched out their fists the size of sandbags and grabbed the clothes of the Xia youth, raising their fists to fight.

Seeing that the beating was inevitable, the young man of the Xia tribe put the briefcase on his face and closed his eyes expecting that the beating would not be so bad, but the expected fist never fell, but three screams sounded in front of him.

"Ahh You...... The new Han people have beaten the people of the Western Continent! ”

"Ahh Someone! The Xia people have oppressed the Nords! ”

"Ahh Help me! The Xia people have committed murder! ”

The Xia clan put down the briefcase and took a look, but saw the three Nord barbarians with hideous faces just now rolling on the ground screaming, and the young man in the Zhuxia Xuan robe stood behind the three of them like frost, he immediately realized what had just happened, and quickly put down the things in his hand and bowed:

"Zhang Yun, a minor official of the lower official household department, thank you Lord Warlock for taking action!"

The household department is in charge of household finances, and the overseas people's taxes are naturally also responsible for them.

Thorn nodded slightly, looking at the Nord barbarian who was rolling on the ground and spitting Western Continental, he didn't have to think about it to know that this was their national scolding, his eyes flashed coldly, and the three of them suddenly lay on the ground in a daze and no longer squeaked.

"It's okay, it's just a gesture."

Seeing that the three barbarians were quiet, Thorn Thorn raised his head with a gentle face and smiled:

"It's just that this Nord is so arrogant, what will you do later?"

Zhang Yun frowned, and replied angrily:

"Back to my lord, later the villain will report the patrol to get people, this Nord man dares to attack the official without a king's law, it is really hateful."

Speaking of this, his anger gradually subsided, and he showed a puzzled expression, and said strangely:

"It's strange to say, these Nord barbarians are treacherous and cunning on weekdays, but they are the most bullying and afraid of the hard. The wolf barbarians who liked to bully Da Chonglai the most in front of them have become very irritable for some reason in recent days, and they dare to be rude to us Xia people, and I heard that there have been many small disputes in other places in the past few days. ”

Speaking of this, he saluted again and again with a frightened face:

"It's just that I didn't expect that it would be my turn to be beaten, it's really thanks to the adult, otherwise the villain would have lost half his life after being beaten this time."

Hearing this, Thorn nodded thoughtfully:

"I see, you get busy first, I still have something to do, go first."

After speaking, he ignored this person, turned around and took Ye Qingyan's hand, and walked away in the awe-inspiring gaze of everyone behind him.

"This is the wizard?"

Seeing the boy and his female companion depart, a blonde gentleman with a cane muttered to himself.

"It's not a wizard, they are called warlocks in the East!"

"Yes, yes! It's a warlock, it's so powerful, the three Nord barbarians with a tiger's back were put down in an instant! ”

The person who spoke earlier shivered with fright as he looked at the expressionless and motionless Nord man on the ground.
