Chapter 1070:  Dragon Gun Town


? The north wind blows, and the flowing clouds rush away. wwwxshuotxt/com
On a three-story black stone bell tower in Longlance Town, a wind beacon made of iron sheet blew properly. This sharp sound is really unpleasant, so the passers-by passing under the bell tower are not ears. Don't pass by. Watcher of the clock tower, an old man with a hunchback drank a sip and slapped his lips and said, "This thing, one day I will pick you off and throw it into the stove to see you melt into iron!"
This town is located to the south of the Devil’s Throat, only a mountain away from the lava-filled land. Whenever the wind blows from the north, it will bring a strong heat, so even in winter, Longlance Town does not suffer from the harsh winter like other cities in the north. But the life of the residents in the town is not necessarily so happy. Due to the proximity of the devil's throat, crops are difficult to grow here, and animals are even rarer, making it difficult to make a living.
Iron shops are a major feature of the town. There are many blacksmiths in the town, and they are distributed in the streets and alleys. The iron-strike industry has become the main business of the residents of the town. Here you can go to any iron shop and you can see many shields and spears displayed outside the shop. Dragon Spear Town is famous for making spears. The residents of this town come from a dying tribe. The tribe named Gao Cang has inherited the craftsmanship of spear casting from generation to generation. The spears cast by them are of high quality, and the men in the tribe are almost all first-rate gunners. The spears they throw can shoot hares that flee from a hundred meters away.
It's just that the temperament of the noble people is as hard as the spears they cast. Many lords have recruited them, but they would rather live in this difficult town than live the life of being directed by others. Dragon Spear Town is like a black nail, deeply rooted in this barren land.
It was noon, and the watchman of the bell tower climbed up the spiral staircase with difficulty and banged the iron bell upstairs. Then he took out a pipe and took a few puffs. The old man held on to the fence and watched the unchanging scene of the town over the past ten years. At this moment, he said "Huh", as far as he could see, a team was staggering outside the town.
There are few visitors in Longlance Town, and only two or two weapons merchants visit during the year. Although the spears cast by the tall men are of high quality, they have a weird temper and a long distance, so it is not easy to do business with them. At this time, it was earlier than the time when the merchants visited in previous years, so after the team entered the town, the residents of the town stopped working, watching them with curiosity and alertness. There were even children who picked up a stone on the side of the road and threw it towards the team, but it was blocked by the burly soldier holding a shield. The child's parents hurriedly dragged it off the side of the road, but there was no reproach, and there was a vague hostility in their eyes looking at the team.
In one of the carriages, a blonde girl poked her head out and said to a young knight nearby, "It seems we are not welcome here."
"I think so, but after walking for so long, everyone needs a place to rest. Anyway, let's take a rest in this town for the time being today, not to mention that we have to explore the way to the imperial capital." The silver-haired knight smiled. .
Looking for a place to stay in a hotel, a group of men stopped the team. He is a pale old man with profound features and spots on his skin, but his eyes are still sharp. Dozens of mature men behind him were all wearing their own sewn leather armor, with spears or spears in their hands, and their breath was steady and solid, which surprised the silver-haired knight slightly. He thought to himself that such a small town had so many talented fighters. He could clearly see the faint brilliance of the source power on those men. There were mostly eleventh-level fighters inside, and the strongest one had at least fifteenth level. Such a group of fighters were thrown into the army of any lord, but they did not have much combat power.
But they appeared in an unknown town, which was quite strange.
While the knight looked at them, this group of men, especially the old man in the lead, also observed this stubborn team. Judging from the mud and dust on the people and horses, they seemed to have emerged from the ground. Many people's faces were covered with mud and dirt, even the obvious knight was no exception, but the other parts of the knight's body were mottled with dust, but the silver hair was still dazzling.
Furthermore, there are many warriors with their own characteristics among them. The knight with a black spear next to the horse, the young man with a double-edged sword hanging on his back, the woman with a dark red long sword and a woman sleeping with her eyes closed, and several others are extraordinary. Such a team, no matter where they go, is enough to arouse local people's alertness, especially after that incident.
At this moment, the silver-haired knight jumped off his horse, and a kind smile appeared on his face, "Where is this, please?"
The old man was slightly surprised, not knowing whether the other party was a temptation or something else, but truthfully said "Dragon Spear Town." He added, "As you can see, my lord, this place is located south of the devil's throat. We are only one piece away from the hell. mountain."
The knight muttered to himself, "Damn it, it's already in the throat of the devil..." He exhaled, brushed off the lime on his chest and said, "Like you saw it, old sir. We need a place to rest. May I ask this town? Is there a hotel?"
"I'm sorry, we rarely visit from outside, so there is no such thing as a hotel. I suggest you leave the town and go north. After about three kilometers, you will see a road leading to Spirits Town, where you can rest. And there is wine to taste."
The knight nodded. "Trust me, I don't want to disturb you either. But we are already tired, neither man nor horse can walk. If you can provide a clearing, and finally approach the water source, let our men and horses rest for a day, I will Very grateful old gentleman."
"Is this..." The old man looked at the men behind "What do you say?"
"Or ask them to leave."
"Maybe it's a conspiracy..."
"Maybe it's just travellers who need help. There are still old people and women in their team."
"Old woman? What if one is a guise?"
"When did Gao Cang people become so timid?"
"Hey, what do you mean!"
"Shut up!" The old man snorted and turned around and said, "Well, my lord, there is a clearing outside the town and a small river nearby, or you can camp there if you don't mind."
"Of course I don't mind, it would be better if the people in the town were willing to sell us some food. The journey was very difficult, we lost some things on the way, and now we urgently need supplies."
The old man sighed, "Dragon Spear Town is not rich, sir. You may be limited in what you can add, but you still have food for two days a day, as long as you make a fair bid."
"Thank you again." The knight leaned back and returned to the horse. "Mind giving us a guide?"
The old man pulled a young man "Mila will take you to the camp."
So the team left, they set up a tent in an open area near the river outside the town, lit a bonfire, and sent soldiers to guard. After the young man named Mila left, the silver-haired knight washed his face with the water sent by the soldiers, revealing a handsome face. He looked in the direction of the town, narrowed his eyes and said, "The people in town don't look as hospitable as Squirreltown."
"They just said that they are noble people..."
"Farez, do you know them?"
This team is naturally Allen's caravan. After they left Tallinn Aisha, they walked underground for four days before finding an exit. But when he returned to the surface, even Father Ian didn't know where he was. Fortunately, the old man suggested to follow the trend of the water vein. The reason is simple, there will be people where there is water. Some people naturally know where they are. But even Ellen didn't expect that after leaving Tallinn Aisha and walking through the place called the underground tunnel by the residents of Frostwind City, he had already come near the Devil's Throat, which was a few days faster than expected.
Fares held the spear in his hand. Since he got the black ice, the mercenary captain had to put his arms around this black gun almost sleeping. "Gao Cang is actually a tribe. I heard that it existed before the empire was established. A fairly old tribe. After the rise of the empire, the tribe of the High Cang people was unwilling to merge into the empire and became the emperor’s people, so they hid in the mountains. But as time passed, the tribe gradually declined. To prevent it, the tribe Finally moved out of the mountain and accepted the jurisdiction of the empire, but still settled in the barren land. Unexpectedly, this Dragonlance town was built by the tall people.
"I see a lot of iron shops in the city."
"The Gaocang people’s gun-making craftsmanship is very good, but they have a bad temper, so few people do business with them. Moreover, the gunners of the Gaocang tribe are very famous. Legend has it that the imperial army tried to use force when the country was founded. The Gaocang clan gave way, but the cavalry of the empire was repelled by the gunners of the Gaocang clan. Later, the Gaocang clan retreated into the depths of the mountain because of the disparity in military strength. It should be their fighter." Alan frowned. "It's understandable to have a weird temper, but this is our first visit. Where does their hostility come from."
Fares shrugged. "Who knows."
The people in the town were both curious about the team that came suddenly, and at the same time maintained some kind of unclear guard. However, after discovering that the team was camping by the river and only sending people to the town to buy food, they stayed quietly in the camp, and the feeling of alertness of the residents in the town faded a lot.
There is a pub in the small square in the town, which is the only pub in the town. On weekdays, the people in the town collectively discuss what to do in the tavern. For example, at this moment, the old people who stopped Allen and his party and dozens of men crowded in the tavern. There were residents outside the tavern who had heard the news. , Hundreds of people squeezed the tavern to a squeeze.
"Mayor, that Peel said that he will use force if we don’t move. And so many people came within two days, don’t you be afraid that they are Peel’s people? In case they attack us at night , Everyone in the town is not in danger!" In the tavern, a big beard patted the table.
