Chapter 144: Wind Roaring City (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After several days of heavy rain, the green plain finally ushered in a rare good weather, full of flowers, birds singing and fragrant, a peaceful atmosphere.
Next to the Frostwind Avenue in the plain, two figures stood. Beside them, a beautifully decorated beast cart was parked. Through the bead curtain of the beast cart, you can see that there are three people stacked inside the beast cart like a stack of arhats.
The three of them were lying on the ground in a strange position, with ropes still on their hands and feet.
"Brother-in-law, is this really good?"
The night pupil stood beside Lin Fan, looking at the three people in the carriage who fell into a coma with amber eyes, looking at Lin Fan sideways, the white little tiger teeth flashing with a crystal luster.
"Although this is a plain, there are wild beasts at night. Also, there are thieves in some places. If they are left alone like this, they will probably die. ”
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, although Ye Tong's face is a little nervous, but there is a little excitement in his voice.
Just now she asked Lin Fan what to do with the beast cart, and Lin Fan directly asked him to knock out the three people in the beast cart and throw them on it, and let the beast cart turn around, preparing people to let the beast cart return along the same road.
"If they do, then they can only be blamed for their bad luck. I don't want to see them in Windroar. Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said.
Night Hitomi couldn't help but narrow her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled.
"What's wrong?" Lin Fan asked when he saw Ye Tong's expression.
Night Hitomi bit her finger and looked at Lin Fan, as if she was thinking about how to express her thoughts, then she blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I suddenly found out that you are more powerful than our regiment leader! I was almost deceived by you just now!"
"Why, I don't have the strength to defeat a group of thieves and kill hundreds of people. Lin Fan remembered what Ye Tong said when he mentioned the head of the regiment just now. He shrugged his shoulders and said.
"I'm not talking about strength, but ......" Ye Tong was about to argue something, and then saw Lin Fan's expression of unknown expression, and shook his head again: "Forget it, you will know the way when you see the head of the regiment in the future." ”
Lin Fan looked at the night pupil strangely, and then he looked up at the sky. said, "Alright, let's get down to business first, and then we'll go to Windroar City." ”
It's noon, and according to Nightpupil, it's still half a day's way from Windroar, and there's no carriage. If you don't hurry up now, I'm afraid I'll sleep in the wild at night.
The night pupil took a step back, and Lin Fan let the fire elves form a spell summoning array.
Airplanes!
Under the control of Lin Fan's spiritual power, the fire elves began to let the fire elemental form a spell summoning array. The moment the summoning array was completed, a wave of scorching qi appeared in front of Lin Fan, and then, a dark red fire blade burning with flames jumped out of the flames and flew directly towards the brute beast.
Poof!
The blade of fire flew past the brute's side, and the scorching elemental flames that burned on it left a charred mark on the brute's hind hips.
Roar!
The sudden sharp pain made the huge body of the brute beast that was gnawing at the grass on the ground tremble, and let out a startled and sharp roar. The swift movement of the four stout hooves was accompanied by a rumbling sound like thunder. The beast cart sped forward at a speed never seen before, and there was concern that the three people inside would be jolted out.
"Good luck to you. Ye Tong looked at the beast cart that gradually disappeared at the end of the road, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned back to Lin Fan and said, "Brother-in-law, let's go." ”
Lin Fan nodded, and the two turned around and walked in the opposite direction where the beast cart had disappeared.
Although there is no beast cart anymore. But the night pupil is a mid-level shadow swordsman, and Lin Fan's physical fitness has now grown to the level of an intermediate warrior, and the speed at which the two of them are hurrying is not slow.
Proceeding along Frostwind Boulevard, there was no sign of people on the road at first. As far as the eye can see, there are patches of turquoise wilderness.
After two hours, there were people on the road, and the surrounding area was no longer wilderness, but densely populated with trees, not coniferous forests like the village of Apanda, but broad-leaved forests, and the occasional land could be seen cultivated by people.
Lin Fan paid attention to the surrounding scenery along the way, and gradually deepened his understanding of Wind Roar City from the conversation of the night pupil.
Windroar is the most marginal city in the western part of the Windwind Country, and due to its close proximity to the fertile green plains and the existence of the Frostwind Avenue, the only road connecting the Windwind Country to the Runa Empire, Windroar City has become an important commercial city.
From the conversation with Ye Tong, Lin Fan absorbed his previous knowledge of ignorance little by little, and kept it in his heart.
As they advanced, the surrounding terrain became no longer as flat as before, and occasionally some small dirt slopes appeared in the field of vision of the two of them, and the night pupil told Lin Fan at this time that this place was not far from Wind Roar City.
There were more pedestrians on the road at this moment, and there were many brute beasts pulling heavy goods, and there were also beast carts with gorgeous decorations on the outside, and at a glance it was clear that the owner of the carriage was either rich or noble.
The roars of brute beasts and the whispers of people filled the wide avenue, making Lin Fan feel a feeling in his heart that he had not felt this kind of excitement for a long time.
"There are so many people here. Looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Of course, although Wind Roar City is not big, it is the most important commercial city in the west of Qifeng Country. The werewolves of the Luna Empire, even our Ortra Kingdom, and the human kingdoms of El Dorado and Perched Wind in the north need to pass through Windroar City. Night Pupil blinked with a pair of big eyes, looked at Lin Fan who nodded, and said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, you haven't heard of Wind Roar City before, right?"
"I didn't have any impressions, I guess I forgot. Lin Fan grabbed his hair and said with some embarrassment.
Seeing Lin Fan's embarrassed face, Ye Tong thought that Lin Fan remembered the amnesia, so he didn't continue to ask.
Lin Fan's eyes wandered among the crowd, and found that there were indeed many Tucker people here, as the night pupil said, among which the werewolves were the most. Although these werewolves were not as arrogant as they were in the Runa Empire, they were still arrogant, and the nearby human civilians looked at them with a fearful attitude, not daring to approach.
Seeing this scene, Lin Fan's brows couldn't help frowning.
At this time, the excited voice of the night pupil suddenly sounded next to him.
"Brother-in-law. Look, we're here!" Ye Tong pulled Lin Fan, stood on his toes, and pointed ahead excitedly.
Lin Fan looked in the direction pointed by the night pupil, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly.
At the end of the road ahead, a city stands between a bunch of hillsides! not like a trading bazaar like Marltown, but a real city.
Teal walls. It was seven or eight meters high, and from such a distance, it was impossible to see the entire city wall. Beyond the city walls, you can see various buildings of different heights inside, and the sound of people is like a wave coming to this side, and even if you don't enter the city, you can already feel the warmth of the city!
Looking at the huge city in front of him, Lin Fan was also stunned for a while.
Whining......
Suddenly, there was a strange whine. Woke Lin Fan up from shock, his voice was a little like a whimper, very low. Lin Fan squinted his eyes to find the source of the sound, but strangely found that the sound was actually coming from within the Wind Roar City, and it was not in a specific direction, it felt like the sound of the whole city. And Lin Fan paid attention to the people around him and found that no one else stopped because of this sudden sound. It's as if they can't hear a sound.
"What's going on?"
Lin Fan looked at this strange scene and couldn't help whispering. Such a loud voice. Even the ground was shaking, and it was impossible for them not to hear it.
"Brother-in-law, it's not that we can't hear it, but we're used to it. And, that's where the name Windroar comes from. ”
The night pupil seemed to see Lin Fan's doubts, and pointed ahead with a smile:
"The location of Windroar is special. You look at the surrounding mountains, these mountains, which have been studied, and the location of the mountains is just right to form a huge summoning array! If you pass through Windroar City, you will make such a sound. It is precisely because of this that although Wind Roar City is close to the Iron Ridge Mountain Range, where there are many demonic beasts, there are very few demonic beasts here, and it seems that the demonic beasts don't like this sound very much. ”
"I see. Lin Fan nodded suddenly, he looked towards Wind Roar City again, and at the same time, the dark red pentagram in the depths of his pupils flashed slightly.
Wind Roar City, along with the entire World Realm, had all become pure elements within his vision.
Lin Fan raised his vision and found that the arrangement of the wind elements on the Wind Roar City was indeed a little strange, as if it was attracted by some mysterious power, every time the wind elements passed, these wind elements would begin to be restless, and when the spell was cast, the elements in the spell summoning array were very similar.
"What an interesting city. ”
Lin Fan let his vision return to normal, and then walked towards the direction of the city gate with the night pupil.
The gate of the city is designed with hanging stones, and on both sides of the gate stands a row of guards in shining armor, looking at the people entering and leaving the city gate with sharp eyes, giving people an invisible coercion.
"Stop!" When Lin Fan and Ye Tong were about to enter the city gate, the guards next to them suddenly stopped in front of Lin Fan with the silver spear in their hands.
"City Entry Tax, Ten Sols!" The guards looked at Lin Fandao, as if they saw him as a civilian evading the city tax, so those blue brown eyes flashed with a sharp light.
And it's no wonder. Lin Fan is now wearing a short linen-colored coat, this kind of rough linen is very uncomfortable when worn on his body as if he is tied to his body with a rope, and the only advantage is that it is cheap enough. It's basically a civilian emblematic attire.
"Entrance tax?"
Lin Fan was slightly stunned, glanced to the side, and found that everyone who entered Wind Roar City would pay ten soles to the guards.
"I didn't think that there would be taxes here, and in the future, I would also build a city in the territory, and then sit at home every day to collect the city tax, well, it was decided so ......" Lin Fan muttered to himself, fantasizing about the dream of making a fortune in the future, and reached out and took twenty sols for the guards.
"It only takes ten soles for one person. The guard looked at the twenty sols in his hand, frowned, and said.
Lin Fan pointed to the night pupil beside him and said, "I'm with her." ”
The guard glanced at the night pupil, the eyes that seemed to be about to draw a knife to face each other without saying a word, immediately bent up, and then he pointed at Lin Fan and asked with a smile, "This lord, do you know him?" His tone was obviously distrustful.
Ye Tong looked at Lin Fan with a meaningful smile on his face, smiled and nodded his chin: "Ah, yes, he is my servant." ”
"I see, please come in. ”
The guard nodded, made a gesture of invitation to the night pupil, then glared at Lin Fan, took a step closer, returned all the sol in his hand to Lin Fan, and threatened in a voice that the night pupil couldn't hear: "Boy, are you deliberately looking for me? Do you want me to lose my job? Don't let me meet you next time, otherwise, I will let you know what price I will pay for teasing me!" (To be continued......)
