Chapter 407 The Elves of Twin Tree Town (33)
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Ian walked along the avenue and saw the green city wall behind a small river from a distance.
The summer sunlight has not weakened yet. Through the passing clouds from time to time, the sunlight shines flatly on the entire agate stone plain. If you look down from a high altitude at this moment, the entire great plain looks like a piece of yellow and green agate stone. Dots of human towns are located in the wilderness, connected by roads.
Reflected by the surrounding vegetation, the light green river flows brightly, while the caravans and carts on the road are bustling, the people are noisy, and it even feels a bit congested.
The town was within sight.
Back then, Shuangshu Town was a bridgehead in front of Nauman City, a riverside fortress. After the war, the castle was transformed into a chamber of commerce hall. The city walls had not yet been demolished, but were covered with dense vine leaves. From a distance, it looked like It's like a living wooden wall planted by the elves.
A solid stone bridge spans the river and leads directly to the town, while two huge tree arches growing together are like welcoming all visitors and departures, with their branches and leaves swaying in the warm wind.
This is Twintrees.
Although the roads were extremely congested, it was much better once we entered the city. People were still noisy, but at least there were no traffic jams.
The knight's armor on Ian's body allowed him to enter the city smoothly. He was not questioned by the gate guards. He only showed his heraldry emblem and was given a gift to the Giant Wood Hotel in the XC area.
Ian reciprocated the favor and gave the guard leading the way a small silver, which immediately made the other party overjoyed, and he took advantage of the opportunity to ask some questions.
"Why is it so crowded? Hi, sir, are you from the south? A lot of big things have happened in Nauman City recently. The Marquis was assassinated, the informants of the Dragon Worship Cult fled, and even the elves from Canaan Moore escaped. When we come here, we fight with the knights and run away in embarrassment - it's exciting, but also dangerous!"
"Most of these businessmen and tourists smelled something wrong and ran out of the city in advance. Not to mention ours, the surrounding small towns were all full!"
The soldier rambled on and talked about a lot of rumors and news he had heard from passing merchants and adventurers in recent days. The contents included the struggle between nobles, rampant cults, suspicions between the two countries, spy confrontations, special forces battles, and important events. The content of the fight for the treasure is enough to write a million-word novel, and it is not watery at all.
Along with the singing of minstrels coming from the surrounding markets, the shouting of vendors, and the occasional guard yelling ‘thief! ’ and the angry curses of the person who had been stolen, Ian felt that his fortune was really worth it.
——Canaan Moore is also involved in this matter? The suspicion of Anfa is getting heavier and heavier.
Ian thought so, and then he casually flicked a drop of water onto the back of the hand of a thief who was reaching out for his luggage - the cold chill immediately froze half of his body, but he was not really injured. Just staggered.
"Hey, what are you doing? How dare you steal from me right here?"
The guard was furious when he saw this, stepped forward and kicked the thief. Then he turned his head and said apologetically: "Sir, the hotel is right here. Of course there are better ones, but I'm not familiar with them."
"That's enough, that's enough. Let's go back to work." Ian nodded. He didn't want the other party to lead the way. Hearing the other party's views on the recent Naumann City was the most important thing.
After thinking about it, Ian took out some dark green, dangerous-looking alchemy potions from the package and hung them outside the bag. Then he took out a strip he had prepared and hung them together.
[The alchemist’s bag, anyone who touches it will agree to assist in the alchemy experiment]
Many eyes shrank back in fear, and even formed a blank circle.
At least this inherent impression is quite useful.
Leading the camel beast past the crowd, Ian noticed that this seemingly 'primitive' town was actually quite technologically advanced.
The blacksmith shop along the riverside avenue relies on water power to operate. Huge hammers replace manpower. The furnace nearby has no obvious flames, but a cylindrical vacuum alchemy instrument. The required metal is fed into it, and when it comes out it is It is already golden red molten steel.
The adventurers and other guards passing by along the way are all well-equipped. In addition to swords and longbows, basically everyone carries a few fire guns. Although the power of non-alchemy guns may not be enough to deal with Warcraft, they can be used as intimidation and weapons. A sudden attack but still has a very high value.
He even saw two adventuring teams with Ascendants. They were fully armed. One dwarf even had a twelve-millimeter caliber alchemical gun hung on his back. It had an uncharged lattice on it. He could kill a sharp-clawed tiger or a reef-eating sea otter with one shot. no problem.
The leader of the adventurers looks no different from me in appearance. They are all fully covered with body armor, and their actions are very capable. You can tell at a glance that the core figure of the team must have been in the army, and maybe he is like a youth. A retired veteran like Chao's father.
There is even an almost neon-like advertising banner on the towering Chamber of Commerce Center in the distance. It is a huge glass splint with alchemical materials that can change color. It clearly glows, showing today's time and the floor where the relevant chamber of commerce is located. , as well as some key notices.
This is just a small town.
"Interesting place."
Ian smiled, and then found the news he wanted from this advertising board.
"Yinfang Chamber of Commerce."
He whispered to himself, then nodded: "Sure enough, Mr. Yinfang also has a branch here. It seems that he can make money again tonight."
Mr. Yinfang's real name is Kutag Lavent. He is a wealthy man in Nauman City. He specializes in building materials and grain and oil business. He is a regular customer of Ian's Appraisal Shop. The two parties have known each other for three or four years and have a good relationship.
Especially some time ago, Ian helped him get on the line through the Life-Extension Magic Plant and Master Gosei. The rich man who looked like a poor old farmer thanked him repeatedly, and even said privately that if Ian wanted to travel, please Be sure to go to Nauman City to see him, he will give you a great gift.
Ian doesn't really need his gift, but he needs a secluded place to put his luggage and mounts. It's not that other places are not good, but that a relevant place at least feels more secure.
And most likely it won’t cost any money.
In fact, not only do you not have to spend money, you can even get some money back.
"Ian?"
When Ian came to the branch of the Silver Square Chamber of Commerce, a building that looked like a mill with a dismantled windmill, a tall and thin old man with a gray-brown goatee hurriedly came down from the second floor.
Mr. Yinfang opened his hand to Ian with a look of surprise, and stepped forward to give him a hug: "I saw your armor just now. I thought it looked familiar, but when I got closer, I saw your familiar waist bag. ——It’s indeed you!”
"Be careful, sir, it's not comfortable to hold me in this armor - why are you here?"
Ian, who was also somewhat unexpected, took off his helmet, smiled and stretched out his hand to the old man - it was not that he was unwilling to hug this regular customer, but his armor was extremely cold due to his water element. It's really not good for the elderly.
"Isn't it the commotion in Nauman City? I just heard the Viscount tell me a few days ago that you are probably arriving at Shuangshu Town soon, so I thought about it and came here to rest... Let's go upstairs and talk. "
After the two parties exchanged pleasantries for a while, Ian was taken to the second floor.
And just when Ian and Mr. Yinfang climbed up to the second floor, he saw a green figure flashing past the Yinfang Chamber of Commerce out of the corner of his eye.
The boy's smile froze.
There are many strange hair colors on the continent of Terra. Green is not unique to elves. The Iron People also have hair that is almost bronze-like. If you just look at them, you can easily mistake them.
But Ian won't - he remembers it clearly, not to mention the precognitive vision and silver chip.
"Anfa?" He said to himself in surprise: "What a coincidence, why is he here - Oops, did I point the opposite way to that dragon?"
"I really didn't mean this...at least I didn't mean to lie this time."
Outside Shuangshu Town.
A shadow stared at the noisy and lively town from a distance.
I recommend a friend’s new book “The Ancient Gods Whisper”!
It is a good book with guaranteed quality and updates. Everyone who is in a book shortage can check it out!
"Listen, the ancient gods are whispering, He says... they will return eventually!"
According to legend, the rulers of this world should have been the ancient gods, and every death of them was a grand rebirth...
Those who believe in the gods awaken the sleeping gods, light torches in the darkness, and burn the world.
My father disappeared while investigating the resurrection of a certain god, and his life and death are still uncertain.
I was panicked, but not completely panicked.
Because the resurrected god is me.
