Chapter 110: The long overdue lone traveler

The dark clouds thousands of miles away did not affect the hinterland of the mountains on the north coast of the mainland. Because the mercenary meeting is about to be held, the already lively Rock City is crowded with people like ant nests, and it is noisy all day, and there is almost no place to find a quiet place.
In addition to the mercenaries who rushed back from all over to participate in the event, these people also included travelers who wanted to see the grand occasion, and all kinds of hawkers who were attracted by the crowds, but also because the crowds were blocked in the city and could not deliver goods. The big business people, as well as the thieves and scammers who are waiting for the opportunity to commit crimes.
All kinds of characters are mixed in this hot pot named Yancheng, stir-fried, and the oily smoke bursts, it is really lively!
It was Saturday today, when Chaoyang first came up the hillside, but there was a long queue outside the giant city gate full of barbeds, waiting to enter the city.
People who often walk around the city of Rock will mostly get a little mercenary habit. Whether it's a trader or a tourist or a tourist, you have to yell a few words when you meet, and then give a name, and drink a drink if you agree, and go their own ways if you don't agree, and don't be confused.
Originally it was nothing, but if there are too many people, and then when they are bored and panicked, then it will be enough for others to drink a pot. You also yelled and I yelled, and within a few words, the seemingly orderly gate of the city turned into a noisy vegetable market, which disturbed people's hearts, and there was nothing to do with them.
Standing in the crowd, Yun Xuan stretched his face without squinting, staring at the light at the entrance of the city gate, and poking at the mahogany pipe that never left his body. He wore a snow-white cloak, and the brim of his hat could cover his bangs. The wind and dust on this road did not seem to leave any mark on him. Most of the exposed face was still shiny as jade, and even half of the white cloak could not be found. The mud spots are like just walking out of the roadside home.
As the convention is approaching, the defense inside and outside the city gates is getting tougher, so the speed of the team is not fast, but it gives those who are noisy enough time to communicate, and the uninterrupted buzzing noise adds to his unhappy mood. upset.
Since Jiehai disappeared strangely in the divine power duel between the Royal Academy and Yuming, he also left the capital to pursue all the way, relying on the "once a day" divination copper coin to barely maintain the correct direction, and finally arrived at Yancheng according to the prompts. But somehow, the copper coin, which was originally considered a hundred-test lark, has been showing diametrically opposite answers in recent days, which made him doubt the maker of the copper coin, the old friend Master Prang.
Didn't it mean that there is no expiration date... Isn't this old boy lying to me? He thought of customizing the "price" of this humble copper coin, frowned slightly, and couldn't help taking it out of his pocket again, silently saying "Is the boundary sea in the city" in his heart, then tossed it again and looked intently. , The side with the word "Yes" lying on the palm, only slightly relieved.
He collected the coins and walked forward in silence for a while, then looked up at the city gate, and found that there were rows of red-painted iron puppets with guns on the left and right, and suddenly felt something was wrong. This Rock City was not the first time he came back, but he always used the transmission monument of Song of Time to come and go, but he rarely had the opportunity to go through the city gate and have no impression of these puppets.
It stands to reason that it is common to use puppet guards in Frsaris, but according to the "leader"'s repellent attitude towards puppets... Anyway, it's quite interesting. He couldn't figure out the reason for a while, only felt a little bit interesting, and didn't take it to heart. On the contrary, the people around him talked about the matter for some reason, and made a loud noise.
"You said that this time the elders sent so many iron knots, do you want to fall out with us?" a rough man asked in a puzzled voice like a mercenary.
"Nonsense... There are thousands of powerful people in Rock City, and there are not a few high-ranking ones. With this little puppet soldier, what trouble can we make!?" A drunk, squeaky voice drew big talk. The crowd echoed.
"I always feel that something is really wrong this time... Your Excellency Red Lion has never been subdued. When do you see him let the puppet come to defend the city?" A scholastic voice said hesitantly.
The crowd exploded because of this seemingly slanderous sentence. First, there was a burst of angry reprimand, and then the foul language continued, and they could really hide their faces and escape. How could Yun Xuan stand these vulgar abuses, and he didn’t want to listen any more. He hid his figure while the crowd was in chaos, flashed a little white light with divine power, and instantly passed through the gate passage and stood on a raised rock wall beside the wall. Under the shadow.
He looked up at his surroundings casually, and the most conspicuous thing in his eyes was naturally the guild hall covered with colorful paint in front of it. It was like a honeycomb-like guild hall. The crowds of people wrapped it layer after layer like a colony of ants, which is really hard to find. Entrance and exit. Fortunately, he didn’t plan to go to that noisy place. He turned around and walked around the various flag signs hanging from the side of the road, sticking to the edge of the old stone bricks, and did not rush towards the "Caro" workshop on the high ground. Walk around the area.
Pedestrians and horses continue to flow on the road, but the strange thing is that whenever someone tries to get close to him, he will unconsciously lean a little, as if there is a thin invisible shield around him, blocking all possible occurrences. Collision.
As he walked, he looked at the mountain city that seemed to have celebrated the New Year's Day ahead of schedule. Long and short red silk red ribbons are suspended between layers of stone ladders and wooden bridges, shaking and fighting with the strong wind, looking from below, it seems as if countless bright red lines are running through the air. In front of each stone house there is an ingenious decoration, using branches, new leaves, metal, strange stones, ribbons, and even coins and jewels, cleverly matched with statues of adults, flowers, birds, fish and insects, gods and monsters, and they are colorful and beautiful.
He was almost dazzled by these weird decorations, and he was called back to God until a few harsh curses appeared in the noisy crowd not far away. He tilted his head slightly, and was surprised to see a group of small black shadows stepping on the head and flying past, wherever he passed, there was a scolding sound, and a group of awkward people rolled their sleeves together and squeezed away. People are chasing constantly.
He listened to it again, and he could barely hear a few words such as "Little Cat", "Miss Leah", "Carlo", "Unscrupulous", and "Settling the Accounts", and he suddenly stopped. He watched the rough guys rushing to the heights as if they were about to make trouble. He didn't want to go to the workshop at this time to cause trouble. He raised his eyebrows, then turned his head and walked towards the popular restaurant in the east of the city. Stop talking.
Because of the vicinity of the mercenary group station in the eastern part of the city, taverns and inns are naturally everywhere, but the idle travelers are much less because of fear of getting into trouble. At the moment of this conference, it was slightly deserted than elsewhere.
Among many pubs, "Huojue" is not the largest, but it is definitely one of the most popular leisure places for mercenaries. There is no other reason, but the unique hot spring in this shop. The taste is very special, with a slight astringency in the sweetness. After being used for wine making, it has a special hot and mellow, which will always make the drinker amazed.
However, Yunxuan did not have much preference for this high-concentration spirit. Standing in front of the semi-circular stone gate of the wine house, he glanced at the giant festival statue that stood up to six or seven meters high and was tied with black iron and wood mixed with gold bands. He lowered his cloak and moved towards Walk in.
The pub is hot, mixed with the smell of sweat, blood, wine, and indistinguishable food odors. It is pungent but full of bustling city. Unconscious of the taste, he raised his eyes and scanned the almost full hall, and walked sideways to the VIP area on the second floor. After the exclusive emblem was illuminated, he found a good seat with unobstructed views and ordered a glass of plum wine. Ann sit down.
The mercenaries downstairs are always arguing, devoting their vigorous but nowhere else to trivial tricks such as fighting wine, punching and fighting, and enjoy it. Yun Xuan is a person who loves cleanliness, but he will inevitably feel lonely after staying for a long time. At this time, he always likes to come to this restaurant to sit for a day and see the passionate faces of these mercenaries. Somewhat infected.
He leaned against the railing as usual, holding the glass of sake, swept downstairs from the edge of his hood, feeling a little interesting, and he heard a loud cheering from the door: "Good morning, Master Lonnie "Good morning, sir!" "I wish you a happy mood today!" The mercenaries present seemed to have received a signal at the same time, all stood up, raised their glasses to congratulate the gate, and laughed constantly.
Master Lonnie...Who is it? Yun Xuan suddenly wondered, he had never seen anyone who could be praised by everyone in the bar, he couldn't help but set up his body and stared at the aperture of the semicircular stone gate, and soon saw this "leader"-like figure carrying a sign. The arrogant laugh appeared on the stage.
Kushao Langni was dressed in a sapphire robe adorned with finely divided diamonds. As soon as he walked around, he heard the "rings and jingle bells", which was incompatible with the messy attire of these mercenaries. He was holding a enchanting woman in light blue leather armor with a short sword in his left hand, and a delicate girl in a long beige cloak in his right hand. He smiled extremely vigorously, and even the half-length red hair seemed to be in a spirited state. Stop shaking.
"Good morning everyone, good morning!" He laughed like a commander, raising his hand to the left and right and waving a few times, "Today, it is another sunny day, and I wish you all a good mood!" He turned his head and again. The waiter who was wiping the glass in the middle of the counter snapped his fingers, and exclaimed with full pride, "It's the same as before, and I will give each one more Huojue and enough ale."
"Praise you, sir!" "May everything go well for you!" "May you enjoy eternal blessing!" The mercenaries burst into jubilation again, and even some people who didn't understand it also shouted the eulogy casually. , Makes Yun Xuan dumbfounded.
After doing it for a long time, it turned out that he was a foolish young master... Yun Xuan suddenly lost his interest. No matter how messy and noisy the floor is, he just drank by himself by the wooden fence, and didn't drift over for half a minute. However, although he didn't want to be nosy, he couldn't stop things from coming to his door.
Lonnie waved at the cheering crowd, his cheeks flushed with a smile, his eyes filled with excitement. When he first came to Rock City, he was still reluctant to be full of frustration, but when he saw the bustle of the city, and then enjoyed the imperial treatment of these rectal mercenaries, there was still half a complaint. He was really killed and didn't want to leave.
Fortunately, he didn't listen to what Virut said at the time, he really made the right decision! He couldn't help but think proudly, and then glanced at the female swordsman in the arms of the bird, even more satisfied. These female mercenaries were really enthusiastic, but they always felt that there was something missing... He had just thought about it, and suddenly the cold and graceful figure appeared in his mind inexplicably, and he couldn't help but shiver all over.
X's, how could he think of "that guy"... He pumped his cheeks to the crowd and laughed a few times, turned his head and was about to hug the girls and walk to the box he reserved on the second floor, but he saw that An Ran was leaning against the railing The figure in white clothes on the side suddenly smiled.
newcomer? Male female? He was sure that he had never seen this person before, because the wind and sand in the rock city were constant all the year round, and almost no one would choose to wear a white robe that is very easy to get dirty, especially the clothes so spotlessly...it must be a great man with extraordinary means!
Northerner? The elder's house? Or... from the holy tower? He also heard a lot of secret rumors about high-ranking powers in Rock City these days, and several speculations flashed in his mind instantly, and he wanted to come forward and get to know it. At that moment, he patted the two female mercenaries softly on the waist, motioning them to sit down first, and he picked up a smile, stepped on the steps, and rushed towards the white-robed man.
"Your Excellency, it seems to be very face-to-face..." He stopped at the top of the stairs and inquired carefully, confirming that he was a man, and then pretending to be a few steps forward, sat on the opposite side and smiled, "Meeting is fate. I would like to invite you to have a drink. I wonder if there is such an honor?"
He smiled sincerely, with appropriate words, and thought he was perfect, but after waiting for a long time, the white-robed man still sipped his wine as if he hadn't heard it, so that the smile on his face was slightly more pronounced. Stiff.
"It seems that your lord... don't like drinking." He automatically ignored the wine glass in the opponent's hand, and made a round without incident. "I don't know what's the matter with your visit to Rock City? If you need help, maybe next I can also do my part."
Yun Xuan raised his head slightly, and glanced at the beaded young Kusha, and the corners of his lips made an interesting smile: "Are you going to help me? You are not afraid that I am here to make trouble in Yancheng?"
"Your Excellency!" Lonnie was overjoyed when he saw that he was finally willing to answer. He made a gesture to the bartender downstairs. He came with a pot of plum wine as it was, and asked him with a smile. It will open in a few days. You must come to see what is going on, right?"
The priest looked at him with a slanderous look, unconsciously grinned the corners of his mouth more, drank the wine in his hand, unceremoniously took the bottle of new brew, shook his head and sighed: "You But I’m wrong. I’m not interested in these things."
Kuo Shao was taken aback for a moment. Seeing him closing his eyes with a compassionate look, he even felt that the man in white clothes was definitely not waiting. Then when he thought of the mercenary stories he had recently heard, he immediately felt an excitement in his heart: Isn’t he the kind of legend everywhere? The master who accepts disciples? Could it be that today is the beginning of my worship of a famous teacher and learning of invincible power! ?
He thought of this as if he was beaten with blood, his face rose to a tomato, and he was trembling as he was about to ask again, but the "superior" turned his head back, and said with a straight face: "I'll do it. Yancheng is looking for someone...Have you ever heard of the name'Jiehai'?"
"Uh...Jiehai?" Lonnie couldn't help but stunned for a while. Seeing that he looked like a joke, he had to stretch out half of his body and shouted downstairs, "Has anyone heard the name'Jiehai'?"
His voice was not particularly loud, and it was even more unintelligible when mixed in the noise. The mercenaries were confused, such as "What sea?" "Whose child?" "Who wants to borrow a match?" He came over after repeating it several times, shaking their heads to indicate that they had never heard of it.
"Well, I'll look for it myself..." Yun Xuan saw that he was quite popular among the mercenaries, so he asked in passing. He didn't expect much at all. Seeing that no one knows, he doesn't want to talk nonsense with him. Put down the wine glass and got up to go.
How could Young Master Kuo miss the opportunity so simply, he hurriedly chased his heel and shouted: "Your Excellency, don't worry, this is my Lonnie's body, and I must find someone for you as soon as possible!"
The priest didn't want to pay attention to him at all. He didn't respond with a gesture, but found a bear-like brawny under the stairs on the road ahead. He hugged his hands and stared at him, yelling at him: "Boy! Don't know what is good or bad! Master Ni is too soft in his heart to be blinded by you liars!"
Standing on the top of the stairs, Yun Xuan looked at the thick man with cheeks and cheeks, and then glanced at the few pairs of hiding eyes at the wine table behind him, and it was immediately clear. It turned out to be used as a gun... He tilted his head to look at Kuo Shao, who was a little overwhelmed behind him, and was not annoyed. He took out the wooden pipe from his pocket, cleaned it, and asked with a smile: " How do you know that I am a liar?"
"Stop talking nonsense! If you want to have the ability, take a few tricks from Grandpa and I!" The strong man snorted, his hands flashed gray, his forearms suddenly expanded several times, thicker than his waist, and his clenched fists It's more like two big rock balls, blocking the wide stairs of these people firmly.
"This...everyone has something to say, if you have something to say, don't do it..." Seeing that the situation is not good, Lonnie tried to persuade him, but he didn't dare to come forward.
Yun Xuan didn't reply. He first stuffed the tobacco leaves slowly, lighted the tobacco with a stroke of his hand, and held the wooden pipe in his mouth. He turned his head and asked the giant-armed man with interest: "What's your name? "
"Grandpa's name is Boulder!" The brawny man yelled in a daze, and finally touched his fists like a demonstration.
"Okay..." The priest still squinted the arc of a smile, nodded lightly, and walked downstairs like this, making the big man who was fully absorbed in waiting to respond to the attack stunned.
Seeing that he was about to reach the top of the stairs, Boulder was not polite. He suffocated his energy and just wanted to punch him, only to find that he suddenly seemed to be stuck to his whole body with strong glue. Except for his head, he was still able to move. No matter how hard he tried, it was hard to move. He dumbly watched the thin white cloak fluttering away from his side, and then lowered his head, only to see that his body had been entangled by a thin light wall for some time, and he couldn't understand how the other party made the hand. .
The people in the entire tavern stared at the snowy white figure and walked towards the door with unkind expressions. After a moment of silence, Lonnie seemed to be awakened, and hurriedly ran downstairs and asked: "Your Excellency, I If I find someone, where can I tell you?"
The priest paused for a while, then walked slowly, and quickly disappeared outside the door. Only a leisurely response came from the air: "Go to'Caro'..."
Carlo? He is from Carlo Workshop! ? The hall was silent for another second, and then countless "it was so" sighs exploded. For the mercenaries, the people of Carlo Workshop, naturally even if they are their own people, they are slapped in the face by their own people, it is not called slaps, it is just an extra special training! They couldn't help putting down their guard, smirking around the man with the giant arm who was unable to move with a bitter face, and fell into a joke.
It turns out that he was from Carlo Workshop... No wonder he is so powerful! Relying on his extraordinary sixth sense, Kuo Shao faintly felt that he had encountered a great opportunity. He was so excited that he was too excited to be able to hold on to himself. No matter where he was left, he wasted time, rubbing his hands and running towards the door.
He had to find the "Boundary Sea" as soon as possible to have a chance to get closer to that Lord, and at the same time, he would naturally get closer to the imaginary goal of "sweeping the world with great power".
