Chapter 70: A New Journey Begins
So he hurriedly argued with Bashevis: "Bashevis...... You stinky and shameless person, as if you had really been to the 'Red Fort of Delhi,' how do you know it's fake? I tell you, Bashevis, you don't have to doubt it this time, this is what Manmohan himself told me, Manmohan, do you remember? The one who came to us before, the one who invited you to a glass of wine!"
Basheves slammed his mouth, glancing at Singh's glass with a sly smile on his face, and swallowing with a grunt.
Singh was helpless, he already understood what the purpose of Basheves was.
He hurriedly took a big sip from the glass, and then only some wine roots were left in the glass, and handed it to Bashevis with a reluctant and reluctant face.
The latter shook the glass after taking it and was a little dissatisfied, but he still raised his neck and drank it cleanly, and shook the glass a little unwillingly, for fear that he would miss a drop or two in the wine glass and not drink it clean.
Although he didn't enjoy this little wine, he still relieved some of his cravings, and although he was still a little unsatisfied, Basheves still licked his lips and said with a wicked smile on his face: "Manmohan, right......? Singh, you go on, haha...... I'm going to work, you talk about ......."
With that, Basheves walked away with a hoe on his shoulder, humming a ditty.
Lance and Ike glanced at each other, and burst out laughing, daring that they were all here to cheat and drink!
I guess what Singh said really doesn't go anywhere, so I should listen to a story.
Anyway, it's still early, and it didn't take too long, so it doesn't matter.
With a smile on his face, Lance said to Uncle Singh: "Thank you, Uncle Singh, your story is very interesting, we won't delay you to work, Ike and I will go to practice the sword for a while." ”
With that, Lance was about to get up and leave with Ike.
Singh's face was flushed and a little embarrassed.
He hurriedly pulled Lance, who was about to leave, and explained: "What are you doing, what are you doing? I haven't finished talking about this yet, this time it's absolutely true, I'm going to send some mountain goods to the old men of Cohima City in a few days, if you don't believe me, you can go with me." ”
Hearing Uncle Singh's words, Langston stopped and thought, "Oh, to Kohima?"
Then he looked at Ike, winced at him, and said, "Now that my injuries have fully recovered, why don't we go to Kohima City and ask for verification?" Since Uncle Singh said this, I think there must be something unusual about him in this matter, right?
When Ike saw Lance's appearance, he smiled and immediately expressed his support for Lance's words.
"Well, Lance, we've been in Lucerne for a long time, and it's time to continue our adventure!"
......
Two days later, in the early morning, autumn was in full bloom and the weather was slightly cold.
In front of the tavern in the small town of Lucerne, a dilapidated trailer with a lot of mountain goods is parked.
Uncle Singh wore a thick old cloak, and there was a smile on his dark face that could not be concealed.
He looked at the mountain goods with half a carriage in a good mood.
Fresh mushrooms, bamboo shoots and some brightly colored wild fruits, as well as a few sacks containing dried goods such as hazelnuts and pecans.
These were the favourites of the wealthy men of Cohima, and if nothing else, the wagon's mountain goods would fetch a fortune.
After saying goodbye to the tavern owner Pierre, Lance and Ike turned over and got into the carriage.
"Uncle Singh, I'm sorry for your trouble!"
Lance put his things away and replied very politely.
"Don't bother, don't bother, I have two powerful martial monks as escorts along the way, I'm too late to be happy, and when I talk about it later, I can still have a to brag!haha...... ...... driving"
Uncle Singh is in a really good mood today.
He even made a joke, humming a little song and driving the carriage out of town.
Without saying a word, the three of Lance arrived at Cohima City before dark.
The city of Kohima is a small city built on the hill, and its size is slightly larger than that of the Interriver Valley.
However, the population density is much higher than that of the Valley of the River, and the city of Kohima has a high wall that the Valley does not have.
It may be because it is built on the mountain, so the buildings of the city are staggered, undulating, and layered.
Most of the houses are stone buildings, which look quite rough and bold.
The streets of Kohima aren't very spacious, maybe because it's getting colder or it's getting darker, and there aren't too many people on the streets.
Lance and Ike had already disembarked from the carriage and followed Uncle Singh as he led the carriage through the streets of Cohima.
Although the streets looked a little deserted, it couldn't dampen the curiosity of the Lance couple.
Along the way, they looked around and pointed, like hillbillies who had never seen the world and entered the city.
It is also true that after Lance and Ike came out of their hometown of Kogan Village, they only visited the two modest cities of "Frige City" and "Valley between the Rivers".
It's not uncommon for a city as distinctive as Kohima to be curious.
After all, they were just two young men under twenty years old, and they had never seen the world.
"Uncle Singh, this city is very distinctive, I have never seen a city built of stone like this, and the way we entered the city was like climbing a mountain. ”
Lance looked around at the strange city, occasionally reaching out to touch the cold stone buildings.
"Haha...... You're right, we're just climbing the mountain, and the city of Kohima is a mountain city, built on the mountain, and the gate is at the foot of the mountain. ”
Uncle Singh led the carriage with a smile on his face, and his words were full of a sense of superiority over his knowledge of the city.
Maybe it's because he often comes here to sell mountain goods that he knows so much about this place.
"Wow...... Uncle Singh, this is called Kohima City, but is it also called Kohima Mountain? Hehe......
"You're really right, this mountain is called Kohima Mountain, but the size of Kohima City is getting bigger and bigger, and finally everyone only knows that this is Kohima City, you see where ......"
As he spoke, Uncle Singh pointed with his hand to a gray castle that stood tall in the distance.
"That's the top of the hill, and it's where the Lord of Kohima is located. ”
Following the direction of Uncle Singh's finger, looking through the cracks in the building, even though it was far away, I could already vaguely see the lights gradually flickering.
The streets were empty, except for the sound of the carriage rattling and the sound of the chatter, only the sound of Lance and the others talking.
Occasionally, a few passers-by were in a hurry and looked panicked.
Ike frowned, a little confused.
