Chapter 6: Fire Maple City
Ye Han slowly turned around and saw a warm face.
"Brother Lin."
Ye Han said hello and was very polite, after all, he had saved him once.
Lin Jingtao nodded and said with a smile: "This sword move looks exquisite, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary sword technique, right?" ”
"A few years ago, I accidentally entered an ancient cave and obtained a set of swordsmanship, and this move is the strongest one." The cold face of the night does not change, and he is calm and authentic.
Lin Jingtao nodded, and did not investigate deeply, after all, he was from a big family, and his own cultivation of swordsmanship was also top-notch.
"My little sister was killed a few days ago, thank you for coming to the rescue." Lin Jingtao said after a while.
Ye Han smiled slightly: "Brother Lin doesn't have to care, besides, if it weren't for you, I would have died at the hands of those killers this time." ”
As the sky grew brighter and the sun slowly rose in the east, the three of them hit the road again.
After meeting Lin Jingtao, the little beauty's mood seemed to be much better, she was no longer as frightened as before, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she kept talking along the way.
Soon, twenty miles were left behind them, and further on, a huge city appeared in front of them.
"Fire Maple City!"
Above the city gate, three big characters dragon flying phoenix dance, silver hook iron painting, revealing a heavy momentum.
Seeing this huge city gate, Lin Mengxi was not too excited, and there was even some shrinkage in his eyes.
Lin Jingtao smiled gently, "Let's go in." ”
Stepping into Fire Maple City, the first thing that catches your eye is the fire maple trees on both sides of the road, which look like rows of fires burning from a distance.
"This is a different species in the Misty Mountain Range, which was introduced by the ancestors of my Lin family, and is called the Fire Maple Tree because its leaves are fiery red all year round." Lin Jingtao explained on the side.
"At the end of this road, there is the core area of the Lin family."
In the distance, a mansion-like building sits at the end of the road, and a large number of buildings are all carved and painted, which is extremely splendid.
"It's worthy of a big family, it's really extraordinary!"
Ye Han decided to separate from Lin Mengxi here, now his strength is not enough, and he doesn't want to be involved too much with such a big family.
He was carrying the mysterious sword hilt that fell from the Divine Lord Star, once it was discovered by the Lin family's powerhouse, it would be countless troubles, and even his life would be in danger.
"Why are you leaving, you saved me twice, and I haven't really repaid you yet." The little beauty pouted, and after speaking, she glanced at Lin Jingtao beside her.
However, Lin Jingtao didn't mean to stay too much, he still had a warm smile on his face, and said, "Why did the little brother leave in such a hurry, you can come to my Lin family and sit down." ”
Ye Han naturally heard the politeness of this sentence, and said to Lin Jingtao: "You don't have to sit, I still have some things, thank you Brother Lin for taking me out of the Misty Mountain Range, and I will leave." ”
"Brother Jingtao......" The little beauty glanced at Lin Jingtao with some dissatisfaction, then took Ye Han aside, took out a piece of jade and stuffed it in his hand.
"You take this thing first, we'll meet sooner or later." Lin Mengxi blinked, turned around and said, "Brother Jingtao, let's go." ”
Ye Han stood on the side of the road, watching the two of them go away, a little stunned, sighed lightly, and turned into the next street.
In the Heavenly Wind Empire, Huofeng City can be regarded as one of the largest cities, only a little smaller than the imperial capital, and it is not on par with the cities occupied by the other two major families.
Ye Han walked around the city for a long time, and found that although it was prosperous and lively, it was not something that ordinary people could afford to live in.
There are swordsmen almost everywhere in Fire Maple City, and the common currency is completely spirit crystals, and ordinary gold and silver cannot be used here at all.
If it weren't for the fact that Ye Han still had a few spirit crystals in his hands, he would probably have a problem even eating now.
At noon, Yehan found a restaurant and sat by the window overlooking Huofeng City.
He had never been to such a place before, and in such a bustling city, the night cold was a little happy and forgetful.
"Instead of being a killer, it's better to cultivate near Fire Maple City." Ye Han thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision.
In fact, although he used to be the killer of the Senluo Temple, he was just there to receive tasks and get a reward, and he couldn't get in touch with the core of this organization at all, and as long as he didn't do anything unfavorable to the organization, even if he left without permission, those people didn't bother to care.
After making a decision, Ye Han felt relaxed, he didn't have any fetters at the moment, with his strength, he would definitely live better in this city.
At this moment, the conversation of a few drinkers around him drew his attention.
"Have you heard, two days ago, someone entered the Misty Mountain Range to look for a strange treasure that fell from the sky, but accidentally found a spirit crystal mine!"
"This guy is really lucky, but what if he finds out? On the territory of the Lin family, can he still take it for himself? ”
"Hmph, at first glance, you are an outsider, and you don't understand the rules of our Fire Maple City at all." The man rolled up his sleeves and gushed.
"In Huofeng City, if someone finds a spirit crystal vein in the surrounding area, they only need to report to the Lin family, and they can organize a mining team and lead people to mine there. You must know that even if there is only 20% of the huge ore vein, it is an immeasurable wealth! ”
"But the news has spread, and now it is estimated that many mining teams have been dispatched, right? According to the regulations, a small vein can only be mined by a maximum of five mining teams, and a slow step is likely to miss a good opportunity. ”
The man sitting across from the man raised his head and said, "Just as I was coming, I saw two captains of the mining team walking towards the competition ground in the city, seemingly competing for the last spot. ”
Ye Han's heart moved after hearing this, although his current strength is not as good as the young geniuses in the big family, but it is not weak compared to those who are at the bottom, and his hands are tight during this time, this vein is a rare opportunity.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and after inquiring about the location, he went straight to the fire maple city martial arts arena.
At this moment, the competition field is full of smoke and dust, and the battle between the two mining teams has begun, and when the night cold comes, several people have fallen on both sides of the competition field with blood stains, and in the center, the battle has also reached a white-hot stage.
"Boom!"
The two swords collided again, and one of them turned flushed, retreated again and again, and blood slowly overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Yue Jiancheng, you don't have anyone, it seems that I won this battle? Hahaha......" laughed the captain of the winning side.
"Phew, if you weren't shameless and looking for a helper to fight for you, it wouldn't be certain who would lose and who won!" Yue Jiancheng hated the authentic.
"What about finding a helper, if you have the ability, you can also find a helper to try, I'm afraid you can't afford that price!" The captain smirked.
"You ......" Yue Jiancheng's face turned red, then he gritted his teeth and turned back: "Everyone, who is willing to join my team now, I, Yue Jiancheng, promise that if I win this last place, the mining team's income this time, except for the part handed over, I will share fifty percent of you!" ”
"Fifty percent?" There was an uproar at the scene, this is too outrageous!
"You're so ruthless." The captain said with a smirk.
However, even if it was such a condition, no one dared to step forward, they all saw the battle just now, the other party was a sixth-order swordsman of the Sword Guts Realm, and the vast majority of them were not opponents.
Yue Jiancheng looked around, the light of hope in his eyes slowly extinguished, and he was just about to admit defeat and withdraw from the martial arts arena, but he heard a crisp voice behind him: "Since this is the case, then I will join!" When the time comes, the captain will not break his promise! ”
