25~ Strange City Lord

The first gust of wind in the morning awakened Bai Hibiscus's consciousness.

Autumn in a remote city doesn't seem to be much different from that of Yan Spear, and there is an endless stream of people opening the window.

It seems that because of economic problems, the citizens of the last city are more diligent than the citizens of Yan Spear.

More, or have to be diligent.

They go to bed early every day, but go to bed hungry. This kind of life is long overdue.

The law has improved, although it is not as bad as Port Keira, there are corpses everywhere, but beggars are everywhere.

visible.

Even the main city is so poor, Bai Jin can't help but think why there are still bandits staring at this city.

The villages affiliated to the town, the kind of places that may be so poor that they are gnawing on the turf with no oil or water.

Breakfast is very simple and rough, a bowl of mushroom soup without mushrooms and two pieces of dry bread,

The bread was barely chewable.

The three of them didn't dislike it, they could only bear it if they couldn't eat any good food because of poor conditions.

What Bai Jin said to herself last night, Mu Qiang also had no opinion on breakfast.

"Let's go, solve it early and go back." After barely dealing with breakfast, Mu Xian got up.

"Wait a minute, Senior Mutang, shouldn't we look for the lord of this city first?"

"Is there any more?" Mu Xian was obviously not familiar with the process of this task, and the latter could

In order not to pull the hind legs of the two top students, I deliberately and meticulously studied this trial commission.

"It should be, this trial commission is actually issued by the lord of the end city, we

But it happened to be this commission.

"Then let's go, it is urgent." It is also good to find out about the situation with the lord of the city in advance.

The three of them walked out of the hotel. For this three-person team, Ruo Lin was crucial to navigation.

Installation and food improvement tool person, after all, there are two people in the team who can't cook and can't take care of themselves

Road idiot.

It would take a lot of work for the two of them to find the lord's mansion or the affiliated village of the last city.

Like other urban areas, the lord's mansion of the last city is located in the inner city, and the shabby level of this inner city

It matches the city at the end very well as a whole. It can be seen that the city owner of this city is not doing well, but the guard force is not as loose as the outer city of the city.

"Who is it, this is the city lord's mansion, and it is forbidden to enter without the permission of the city lord." Seeing the person coming, the guard

Standing up straight, the two spears crossed each other.

Perhaps seeing that the three of them were not dressed like civilians, the guards were not in a hurry to chase them away.

"We are apprentice knights who have accepted your lord's order to destroy the vicinity of Lime Village.

The bandit trouble, please go in and report to the two of you. "

"Wait a minute." The two guards exchanged glances.

"I'm sorry, I was offended just now. Lord City Lord, please come to the City Lord's Mansion for a discussion."

After a while, the guard in charge of the announcement returned to the city gate with a respectful attitude.

Under the guidance of the guards, the three entered the city, and only after entering the inner city did they find that the inner city was bigger than him.

What we imagined is even more primitive and abject, and the old roads on both sides have been cracked because they have not been repaired for too long.

Planting dead trees on both sides is more like having no money to buy other decorations, I don’t know where I planted them,

After two or three steps, they reached the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Rather than calling it the City Lord's Mansion, it is better to say that it is a two-storey brick and tile house, which is also better than that of the outer city.

These wooden huts and earthen huts are a little better, and this is the City Lord's Mansion.

"The city lord has been waiting inside for a long time. It's from the Flame Spear Land, right?

So poor, please don't take offense. "

The decoration inside the city lord's mansion is also very simple. There is a bottle on the rough wooden cabinet that can be seen everywhere.

Inexpensive street stall ceramic handicrafts, this is almost the most valuable thing here, the whole

The City Lord's Mansion can't even find a maid, and probably doesn't even have the money to keep a maid.

For some reason, Bai Jin always felt a little strange.

She has indeed been to a place that is poorer than the mansion of the last city, but although it is poor, the room

The arrangement is very clean, and there is no such feeling as an ancient temple that has been uninhabited for decades.

These sights seem to be deliberately placed here for them to see.

Go up to the second floor and push open the wooden door of the meeting room on the second floor.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, his name was white and clean, but he was dressed very simply, and his clothes were still covered with

The patched fat man turned around, seemed very happy to see them, and hurriedly asked the guards to go down to make a brew

Tea hospitality.

"The three future knights from the Flame Spear Territory have finally waited for you." The fat lord said cheerfully, with a smile that was harmless to humans and animals, and seemed to get along well.

"I'll introduce myself first, my name is Silian, as you can see, it's from the end city.

City Lord. ""Is it your request to the Knight Academy in the Flame Spear Territory? "Yes, yes, it is you, the bandits in Lyme Village have always been a big worry for me,

In order to solve this problem and return the villagers to a clean life as soon as possible, I have racked my brains and spent a lot of time.

what. "

"Is this your residence, Lord City Lord?" Mu Xian glanced around.

"Haha, I made you laugh, there is no way, the end city is really too poor,

any business

Can't show up, the people below can't even eat enough to pay taxes, you say I can't let it

The guards came to the door to kill them all, right? That would be too inhumane.

"Well, that's true. The Lord of the City seems to be very humane."

Looking at Silian thoughtfully. "Mr. City Lord's nutrition is not bad."

"I'm swollen." City Lord Silian sighed. "Even the people under the rule can't afford it

After dinner, how can I get better as a city lord. "

"There is a famine, why doesn't the Lord of the City come to help?" Mu Xian continued to ask.

"Well, the Temple Association has been good enough for me, and I am exempted from paying every year, how can I be so embarrassed?

How much do you want?" The city owner looked a little embarrassed. "I haven't had time to repay the kindness of the association,

It didn't benefit one side of the people, how could I ask for money from above?

"Then the city lord's armament can't even be packed with a few bandits?" Mu Xiang said more

direct.

"It's not that it can't be solved, a few bandits are still no problem, that's right, every time I go

To encircle and suppress them, they all know the news in advance, and they slip away quickly. My guards are late every time.

I have no choice but to deal with them in the deep mountains and forests for several weeks to no avail.

what. "The city lord told the truth.

"So you went to the Knight Academy of the Flame Spear Leader?" Mu Xian was still a little confused. "you

, why don't you find some more powerful knights?" "It's not necessary for a few small bandits, and it is easy to scare the snakes by raising the army, so I

I was wondering if I could ask the apprentice knights from the knight academy to help me solve this problem. "

"So that's the case, we understand." Mu Tong nodded.

After a while, the tea came up, and Bai Jin took a sip, it was very bitter

"Ha, this is the camellia we have here, sorry, only this inferior tea

Ye Neng brought it to entertain you. "Seeing the subtle expression on Mu Xian's face after tasting, the city owner was a little embarrassed.

embarrassing way.

"It doesn't matter." Wooden tenon stood up. "We are here to understand the situation, if Lord City Lord has a bandit

The exact location can be informed us now. "

"This, I'm afraid not, after all, there are mountains around Lime Village, I don't know where the exact location is.

is very clear. "The city lord frowned and was a little embarrassed.

"Is that so?" Mu Qiang thought for a moment, then put his eyes on Bai Jin.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for taking the time to talk to us out of your busy schedule." Bai Jin got up and greeted the City Lord.

up.

"Hey, where is it, I want to thank you, if you can successfully suppress the bandits, I will

Give me all and divide my finances among you. "

"Financially, we're not here for that."

After talking with the city lord, the three people who got the complete map around the last city walked out of the city lord's mansion,

Some of the more complex leylines are marked on them.

However, due to the fact that the white hibiscus and the wooden tenon may not be understood, the work of studying the map still needs to be done.

It was given to Ruo Lin.

"That city owner is a little weird." Bai Jin tilted his head and seemed to be talking to himself.

"Something weird? Where do you mean?"

"I don't know, it must be my delusion." Bai Jin shook his head

Senior, according to the records of this map, we can only go to Lime Village by walking

The road is over, the traffic in the last city is not developed, and there is no road nearby to walk, so naturally there is no carriage.” Then let’s go now, and leave when you have enough food and water.

Due to the imperfect development, the end city is surrounded by steep mountain roads, but it is still going

The three of Lu are not a charming young lady or a domineering young master. Weight training is commonplace for Bai Jin and Mu Xian, and no one will hold back anyone else. In this regard

Ruo Lin looked a little tired.

After all, she's just a knight apprentice, not these two monsters who don't know how to get tired, walk on

Then he had to stop and rest for a while, and the two people next to him also realized this and deliberately let go

Slowly waiting for Ruo Lin.

"Hoohoo, thank you two seniors." Only Ruo Lin knew that this was true if she had a realistic feeling.

The thighs are not so easy to hold, and the first problem is the physical problem, I can't keep up with it at all.

The pace of these two.

"It's getting late, let's rest here today." Seeing that Ruo Lin really couldn't walk, Mu Mu

The mortise and tenon joint is proposed at the right time.

"Okay, okay, sorry, but I'm still dragging my feet." Ruo Lin said with a wry smile.

"What are you talking about, we wouldn't be able to go this far without you leading the way."

The sun was about to be completely obscured by the mountains in the distance, and the three of them began to set up camp, and the wooden tenon was in charge of picking them up.

The wood makes the fire, Ruolin is in charge of cooking, and as for Baijin, Baijin is in charge of eating.

"Just stay and don't move." Bai Hibiscus, who wanted to help pick up firewood, was pressed down by the wooden tenon, and the latter sighed

tone.

After all, the job of collecting firewood is better done by the big man, and he is real

I was afraid that Bai Jin would just pick up someone and disappear.
