Volume 4 The Hidden Dragon Chapter 9 The Tower of Babel

After a long journey through the desert again, the group finally arrived at the city of Barra.

The city of Barra is located in the south of the Ante country, the cultural and trade center of the Ante country, as a famous port in the western world, the east is the endless ocean, in the southernmost position of the Broken Ancient Mountains.

Due to its geographical location, it has become a hub for exchanges between the Eastern and Western worlds.

In the city of Barra, you can see people from different countries, and foreign cultures are better blended in this city.

This is also the reason why the original princes and ministers will flee to Bara City, the economy is the foundation of the country, in order to maintain the country's trade and obtain wealth, Black Sheep Sudan must continue to maintain a relatively free and open trade environment, and under this condition, it can also make those princes and ministers live a better life.

Hayden stayed here for nearly three years before he was forced to leave Barra again.

At this moment, Hayden is standing alone in front of a shop selling spices, which came from the Qin Dynasty and are generally popular in the Western world, and are very popular.

He made an agreement with Yuansu and the others that if he didn't come out within an hour, he would go in and find him.

"Little brother, you really have a vision, this is the spice of the authentic Qin Dynasty, how much do you want to come?"

The speaker was a young man, wearing a small round hat, who looked to be in his twenties, and his clothes were generally in line with the customs of the Ante country, but some of the ornaments could be seen to be from many different countries, which was their usual method, and the age of his twenties was still a little young for a merchant who traveled from south to north, but he could already see some shrewdness in his eyes.

"Are you Yaheng?" Hayden asked in a tentative tone.

"Haha! You know me? It seems that I am an old customer, this time I will give you a cheaper, how much do you want?" Yaheng's face was full of smiles, he liked such customers the most.

Hayden pulled the scarf around his face, revealing a fair face.

Yaheng looked at Hayden's face, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Are you Bohan?"

Yaheng immediately felt a little regretful after speaking, quickly covered his mouth, and quickly pulled Hayden into the room.

Hayden naturally didn't refuse, and followed Yaheng towards the room.

The building is typical of the Ante country, made of stone bricks and gypsum mud, and the thick walls can resist the wind and sand, and at the same time, it has a good effect of sheltering from the heat.

Yaheng led Hayden through the building quickly, and finally he pushed open a thick stone door and entered a dark room.

Hayden was not at all surprised, he knew the place with ease, for he had lived here for three years, and the dark room was a secret door that would be difficult to detect and open without special methods.

Seeing the familiar stone gate appear, his mood was slightly heavy, and at the same time, he also had a hint of anticipation.

There was only a yellow oil lamp in the dark room, and the layout of the room was very simple, only a stone bed, and on the stone bed lay a middle-aged man, the middle-aged man looked very weak and dying.

Hayden saw the man on the stone bed at a glance, and immediately rushed to the front of the stone bed, "Uncle!"

Hayden called out repeatedly, but the man lying on the stone bed seemed to be completely inaudible, and his eyes were staring blankly at the roof, not paying any attention to Hayden's meaning.

"Cousin Yaheng, uncle, what's wrong with him?" Hayden could only pin his hope on his cousin Yaheng.

"You should also know that the current Su Dan has always wanted to know your whereabouts, and after you left, he did not stop harassing us! Two years ago, my father had an argument with a Kara tribe and was directly seriously injured, although my father said that the other party was not from Black Sheep Su Dan, but I knew that he would definitely not be able to escape!" Yaheng said through gritted teeth.

Hayden was a little silent, and his face was a little resentful, his uncle had always loved him, and it was his uncle who took good care of him during the three years he was forced into exile, and finally let him escape the pursuit of the black sheep Sudan.

"What about Cousin Assyria? How is he now?" continued Hayden.

On the one hand, his departure was due to the continued changes of the times, and the many princes and ministers were liquidated, and he gradually became the target of public criticism, and on the other hand, there was also the reason for his form Assyria.

Assyria resolutely refused to allow Hayden to remain in his house, which was already fierce to the point of persecution, and in desperation, Hayden had no choice but to leave on his own initiative.

Ahhen's expression darkened slightly, "Assyria now has a job in the city and is in charge of some affairs in the prison. ”

Hayden frowned, and Yaheng continued, "While Assyria is not at home now, you better get out of here quickly, otherwise when Assyria comes back, there will still be trouble!"

A trace of gloom flashed on Hayden's face, and he looked at his uncle lying on the stone bed, his heart was full of helplessness, he hesitated for a moment before he said slowly, "Cousin Yaheng, do you know the news of my mother?"

When he was separated from his mother, his mother had told him not to inquire about her.

During the three years in Barra City, there was no news about his mother coming out of the palace, and he tried his best not to think about his mother, but now that he had been separated from his mother for seven years, he still couldn't help but want to know his mother's whereabouts, whether she was alive or dead!

"We are all just ordinary people now, how dare we touch the moldy head of Su Dan today!" Ya Heng said helplessly.

Hayden's face couldn't stop being disappointed, and after casually exchanging a few words with Yaheng, he left the spice shop and joined Yuansu and the others again.

And about half an hour after Hayden left Yaheng's spice shop, someone walked into Yaheng's spice shop again.

The person who came looked a little younger than Zhi Yaheng, with a fierce face, wearing a light blue cloth armor, and holding a bright Maass knife in his hand, went straight to the dark room that Hayden had just entered.

The person who came was Assyria's younger brother who was on an errand in the city of Bara, Assyria, and when Assyria saw his brother's appearance, he immediately accompanied him, and Assyria said quickly like pouring beans.

"How is my father's health today? I saw a strange Qin Dynasty merchant today, and got a special medicine from him, I don't know what the effect is?"

"It's still the same! There's been very little time to wake up lately!"

"Blame the incompetent quacks, they should all be killed!" said Assyria viciously.

"This should be my father's fate!" Yaheng said helplessly.

"Bullshit fate, if you don't change the status quo, it will always be fate!" Assyria looked angry, and then suddenly changed the subject and said, "Have you seen Boham lately?"

Yaheng was full of surprise, and his heart was a little uneasy, and he said hesitantly, "Bohan?

"It's good that I haven't seen it, but recently I don't know why Black Sheep Sudan suddenly went crazy, and he actually ordered to continue to search for Bohan's whereabouts. I suppose that Boham has reappeared in the city of Balah, and then he has been discovered, and this boy has not given up, it has been seven years, what kind of big waves can he make alone? People have forgotten the existence of Ahmad, and now they are worshipping the black sheep Sudan! The general trend of history is that people are just now able to live a little good life! If he comes to the city of Balah, he will definitely come back, and if you see him, tell him that if he does not leave the land of Ante quickly, I will send him to Hell with my own hands! Assyria said indignantly.

Yaheng was silent, he knew the character of his younger brother, and he would definitely do what he said!

Seeing that Yaheng did not speak, Assyria took out a delicate box from his body, which contained the herbs he had bought from the merchants of the Qin Dynasty, and after briefly explaining the use of the potion, he left the spice shop again in a hurry.

It's his working time, and he just took advantage of the break to come to Yaheng's store.

Hayden chose to join Yuansu and the others, his face was not very happy, because he didn't get the information he wanted, and his uncle was the only person he could trust, and he had no other person to trust except his uncle.

Of course, they are not idle, they are rich and easy to do, and they are also looking for all kinds of information about the country of Gugulun through various channels.

The city of Barra is not only a center of trade, it is also a famous cultural center, the world's first university was established here, and large libraries are not uncommon, with a collection of rare books of different nationalities and countries, and it will be easier to get information about the country of Gurum.

After several days of searching, Rupert's people finally found a few words about the ruins of the ancient kingdom in the vast books.

Based on Hayden's notes from the explorer Crow, and information they obtained from the library, they were able to determine the exact location of the ruins of the ancient kingdom in present-day Ante, as well as specific information about the ruins.

Legend has it that the ancient King of Barron built the Tower of Babel so that the gods living in heaven could have a place to settle on earth, and there are also legends that this is a staircase built by King Barron in order to go to heaven, and there are also legends that this is a proud and vain king who is demonstrating to the gods of heaven.

There are many kinds of legends, but the final result is that the gods were enraged, and a divine thunder descended from the sky, directly destroying the unfinished tower, and the country of Gualon also underwent great changes, the national strength weakened, the people were scattered, and finally completely annihilated in the dust of history.

Hayden listened to Rupert's narration and kept reminiscing in his mind, but no matter how much he racked his brains to recall, he couldn't imagine where there was a shadow of the Tower of Babel next to the palace where he had lived!
