Chapter 14: Sand River City
Sand River City, more than 200 kilometers away from the Black Forest, is also a huge military city!
It was nearly noon, and in front of the city gate, a group of soldiers in armor and strong physiques with spears and broadswords watched the crowd entering and leaving. However, if you look closely, these soldiers have a scattered gaze, and their attention is all focused on the women who come in and out and the adventurers who have gained a lot, and they have no intention of being vigilant at all.
It's no wonder that the soldiers are lazy, although Sand River City is close to the Black Forest, its geographical location is completely different from Wanglin City. Five miles outside the city is the sand river nearly 100 meters wide. Most of the black forests are fierce beasts, not water beasts, there are no bridges on the Sand River, and the adventurers who come and go are all building ferries to go back and forth, with the natural barrier of the Sand River, the fierce beasts cannot attack the Sand River City at all.
"Lao Zhang, this time the harvest is not small!" "The commander of the garrison looked at a strong man with bronzed skin and laughed loudly.
At this time, although it was already spring, the weather was warm and cold, and ordinary people could not feel warm even if they wore animal skin coats, but this strong man exposed his upper body, revealing a strong muscle. It seems that the strong man should have reached the late stage of the physical training period, and he is not afraid of the cold!
However, a wound more than a foot long and half an inch deep on the waist of the strong man was shocking!
The strong man carried a large knife nearly five feet long on his back, and a one-horned antelope weighing nearly 100 catties on his shoulder, a huge sheep's head was only connected by a little flesh and skin, and the blood had not yet coagulated.
"Team Jiang, go to my house at night, I'll leave a fan of lamb chops, let's have a few drinks then!" replied heartily to the strong man.
"Okay! As the saying goes: mutton rolls three times, and the gods can't stand steadily! I'll carry two more jars of good wine, and we won't get drunk or go home!" Captain Jiang said excitedly.
Although the unicorn sheep that the strong man hit was just an ordinary beast, not to mention Danjing, there was not even Danzhu. The meat of the unicorn is delicious and is people's favorite delicacy. However, the unicorn likes to live in groups, fierce and aggressive, and there are hundreds of thousands in the Black Forest, not to mention a lone adventurer like Lao Zhang, even a small adventurous team does not dare to provoke easily, so the strong man is lucky to hit a unicorn this time It is already a big harvest, and it can be sold to a restaurant in the city, at least for a gold coin.
In this other world, ordinary warriors and ordinary people use copper coins the most, and one copper coin can buy four meat buns with large fillings and thin skin, which is enough for ordinary people to eat a full meal. A hundred copper coins can be exchanged for a silver coin, a hundred silver coins can be exchanged for a gold coin, and one gold coin is enough for an ordinary family of three for a month!
Just as Team Jiang was chatting with Lao Zhang, Team Jiang saw a cyan figure squeezed into the crowd and entered Sand River City.
Sand River City is also a gathering place for adventurers, with a large foreign population, especially because of the special geographical location here, there is no need to worry about the attack of fierce beasts, so the business in the city is developed, and ordinary people and adventurers who enter and leave Sand River City like cyan figures every day are not one thousand but eight hundred. However, the snow-white big cat on the shoulders of the man in Tsing Yi still left a deep impression on the Jiang team.
"I'm finally in town! I'm going to eat a unicorn......"
"Just know how to eat!"
This cyan figure is Ning Lin, and the white cat knows the Tao without asking, it must be a fairy.
After leaving Ningjiazhuang, Ning Lin first rushed to Hongshi Town, dozens of kilometers away, hoping to find out the news of those black-clothed people.
Unexpectedly, after staying in Redstone Town for three days and not finding any useful clues, the more than 100 people in black seemed to fall from the sky, coming and going without a trace!
Ning Lin didn't believe that these people would really disappear out of thin air, maybe those people came by a detour and didn't stop in Redstone Town. Ning Lin didn't dare to delay, as time passed, the clues would gradually disappear in the long river of history.
Ning Lin hurried to Shahe City with Xian'er, which is the only big city within a radius of thousands of kilometers, with many shops in the city, and more importantly, there are chambers of commerce and dart bureaus in the city, these people are the most well-informed people in this world, hoping to find useful clues.
If Shahe City can't find clues, Ning Lin is going to go to Kaizhou County at the next level. When Ning Lin was in Wanglin City, he heard that there was a special organization in the county-level city-the Water Shadow Building.
The Water Shadow Building does not only exist in the Glacier Empire, but also has their stations in cities above the county level in the Terran Empire, and I heard that even the Beast Clan also has their powerful existence.
The meaning of taking water and shadow in the water shadow building is as seamless as water and everywhere as a shadow!
They are the largest intelligence organization in this world, and any news, as long as you can afford it, even if you want to know that a certain emperor of the Lu Dao Dynasty sleeps in that concubine's palace at night, they can find out even the news of the immortals. However, the news about immortals, even the simplest news, such as what kind of food a certain immortal likes to eat, also requires tens of thousands of gold coins, which is enough for a year's tax revenue in Sand River City!
Although Ning Lin scolded Xian'er on his lips, when he entered the city, he still advanced to the largest restaurant in the city: Dengxian Tower.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Er immediately greeted him: "Childe, please come in!" Waiting for Ning Lin to sit down, Xiao Er wiped the table enthusiastically, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what Childe wants to eat!"
"Unicorn sheep! unicorn sheep!" Xian'er read over and over again in Ning Lin's mind, and she was very resentful!
"Have a braised unicorn lamb chops...... Ning Lin didn't want Xian'er to keep reading like this, so he could only follow her wishes.
After ordering four dishes and one soup, and asking for a jar of good wine, Ning Lin sat at the table and carefully observed the surroundings.
Although Dengxian Tower is regarded as the top restaurant in Sand and Stone City, since Sand and Stone City is a military city, the most soldiers are still the most! When the soldiers get together, there can still be a time to stop there? All kinds of meat jokes, foul words, and common words make Xian'er frown!
"What kind of clues can be found here? If you want me to say that you just go directly to the City Lord's Mansion and catch that City Lord, I don't believe that he dares not to tell the truth!"
Xian'er grew up in the Black Forest and believes in the law of the jungle. According to her father, she was able to become the king of the Black Forest with a pair of iron fists!
Who doesn't accept it? Yes, as long as it is better than my fist! But the entire Black Forest's hundreds of millions of fierce beasts have not yet succumbed to Wang Meng's fist! In Xian'er's opinion, doing things should be done directly and simply like this!
"Do you think this is the Black Forest? This is the Terran!" Ning Lin said to him, if he really dared to attack the City Lord's Mansion today, even if he could subdue the City Lord, would he still be able to kill hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city? As long as one person escaped from Sand and Stone City, what awaited Ning Lin would definitely be wanted by the entire Glacier Empire. If you provoke that worshipping immortal, even if you flee to the Black Forest, you may not be able to keep safe, let alone revenge for your family's vengeance!
