Chapter 4: Cloud City
After leaving the Flame Cave, Chen Shaoyou put on a black cloak again.
Chen Shaoyou threw the money bag in his hand to the tall and strong Ma Meng, who smiled.
Chen Shaoyou turned his head to Mary and said, "Mary, do you know the location of this Xuanyun Academy?" ”
Mary said: "Lord Hui Hades, I don't know the route, I just heard that it is in the Xuanyun Empire!" ”
Chen Shaoyou frowned, and said to the three of them: "You are not allowed to call me the god of the underworld in the future!" ”
Ma Chong stroked his goatee and said, "Lord Hades, then what will we call you in the future?" ”
Chen Shaoyou groaned slightly, and Chen Shaoyou said, "Call my brother or Chen Shaoyou." ”
The three of them nodded yes, and Ma Meng shouted stupidly: "Chen Shaoyou! ”
Mary immediately pinched Ma Meng hard, and Mary said: "Chen Shaoyou is the name of Lord Hades, let's call it brother in the future!" ”
Ma Chong shook his head and said, "Very much! ”
After a brief pause, Mary led the way, and the four of them began to weave through the primeval forest.
The towering trees and low bushes could not be seen at a glance, but Mary and the three of them were familiar with the terrain of the forest, so they walked quickly.
The area of primeval forest in the southern border is very vast, and the three of them have not gone out for a day.
Chen Shaoyou said, "Mary, how long will it take to get to Xuanyun Academy?" ”
Mary said, "Great." No, brother will take half a day! ”
Chen Shaoyou said: "Can you reach Xuanyun Academy in half a day?" ”
Mary said with some embarrassment: "I only know that the entrance to the Xuanyun Empire is in Vientiane City, and I don't know where the Xuanyun Academy is. ”
Chen Shaoyou said: "Then let's go to Vientiane City first." ”
After a short night's rest, the four of them marched through the forest again.
When the sun reached the top of the sky, a huge city was already visible in the distance.
The castle is made of bluestone, and a huge fort is on top of the castle tower.
The red gates were wide open, and the bustling crowd shuttled through the gates.
Outside the city gates, vendors sell their belongings, and several tents serve as places for guests to rest and eat.
Chen Shaoyou was sighing at the grandeur of the MixC at this time.
Chen Shaoyou was in front, and the three of them followed Chen Shaoyou closely. The four of them stepped into the city gates.
Just when Chen Shaoyou and the four of them were about to enter Vientiane City, the guards intercepted them.
The guard at the head had a greasy face, a fat head and big ears.
The guard said, "Barbarians are forbidden to enter the city!" If you want to enter the city, you need 20 dollars per person! ”
Chen Shaoyou was just about to refute, but Mary pulled Chen Shaoyou.
Mary said: "Brother, you don't know, this is the case! ”
Chen Shaoyou nodded helplessly, it seemed that the people of the tribe were low-level existences in their eyes.
Chen Shaoyou had no choice but to take out eighty copper coins, which couldn't help but make Chen Shaoyou's flesh ache.
The total savings of the Hades tribe are only 1,000 copper coins, and it costs nearly one-tenth of them to enter the city gate, and I really don't know where this money can support them to go.
Chen Shaoyou opened his mouth and said to the guard: "Big brother guard, dare to ask where Xuanyun Academy is?" ”
The guard jokingly said: "If you want to enter, you can enter, where are you talking so much, be careful to drive you out!" ”
Chen Shaoyou shook his head and stopped making a sound. He led the three of them into the Mixc.
After the four of them entered the MixC and walked aimlessly in the MixC.
The MixC is just like his name, all-encompassing. There are no tall buildings in the city, and they are generally small buildings with three or four stories high, and there are plaques on top of the small buildings. The plaque depicts restaurants, inns, and other places of life, and there are all kinds of people shuttling around the city.
Among them, the majority are working people, and everywhere are coolies and street stalls.
Chen Shaoyou and the four of them asked the residents about the location of Xuanyun Academy, but they were greatly disappointed, and no one knew the news of Xuanyun Academy.
Chen Shaoyou said: "Mary, is the enrollment of Xuanyun Academy true?" ”
Mary said apologetically: "Big brother, I just heard about it, but I didn't expect it to be like this." ”
The four of them were disheartened and prepared to walk towards the city gate, since they couldn't find out about the enrollment of Xuanyun Academy, there was no need for them to stay any longer.
As I walked, there was a big flag in front of me that stood out. The banner reads "Message Office".
A round fat man stood under the banner and shouted hard, "The message package has inquired, there is only news you don't know in me, and there is no news that I don't have!" ”
Chen Shaoyou was overjoyed, and he led the three of them to the fat man.
Seeing Chen Shaoyou and the four of them coming over, the fat man laughed, and the fat man said secretly, "Business is coming!" ”
The fat man stepped forward, and the fat man said, "Do the four tribesmen have any confidential information to inquire about?" ”
Chen Shaoyou said: "I don't know if you know about the enrollment of Xuanyun Academy?" ”
The fat man said proudly: "This adult, you are asking the right person!" I know about Xuanyun Academy's admissions. ”
Chen Shaoyou's eyes lit up, and Chen Shaoyou said: "Trouble the big brother to tell the next four people, what is the time and place of enrollment?" ”
The fat man's face was squeezed together, and the fat man said: "I have obtained information at the risk of my life, so I can't tell it in vain!" ”
Chen Shaoyou said: "I don't know how you charge?" ”
The fat man smiled and said, "I don't sell this kind of news for a step." A thousand copper coins! ”
Chen Shaoyou suddenly felt shy, and he continued: "I don't have so much money on me, how about the eldest brother be cheaper?" ”
Seeing Chen Shaoyou bargaining with him, the fat man pursed his lips, and the fat man said, "Eight hundred yuan, no less!" ”
Chen Shaoyou reluctantly took out eight hundred coins, and there were only one hundred and twenty coins left in the cloth bag.
When the fat man saw the money, he quickly received the eight hundred dollars under the counter.
Chen Shaoyou continued: "Please tell us the truth about the news we want!" ”
The fat man said proudly: "It's easy to say, although this Xuanyun Academy is not the top in the mainland, many powerful children want to enter the Bo." I'm just selling news, and whether or not you can pass the academy's exam depends on your creation! ”
Chen Shaoyou nodded.
The fat man continued: "It's better to inquire sooner than to inquire, and there are three days left to be the interview day of Xuanyun Academy." The location is in Cloud City. ”
Chen Shaoyou said: "We don't know the situation on the mainland, please tell us the location of Cloud City!" ”
The fat man said: "Cloud City, keep going north." The next city is Cloud City! ”
Chen Shaoyou arched his hand and said: "Thank you for telling me the truth, don't say goodbye!" ”
After speaking, Chen Shaoyou took the three of them to the north.
