Chapter 1088 Leicester
Anna City, one of the outermost towns of Dashai City, is a vast grassland city, but its population is extremely sparse. The main reason is that it is impossible to grow food here, and even feeding livestock is a problem.
Some people may find it strange that many livestock do not feed on vegetation. Since it is a vast grassland city, why is even the feeding of livestock a problem?
In fact, the reason is very simple. The plants growing here are all purple heart grass.
As mentioned before, purple heart grass is a refreshing medicine, but it is also an addictive drug. Moreover, this drug is not only effective for humans, but also for livestock.
The growth situation of purple heartgrass is very special. After the plant matures, it will kill different types of surrounding vegetation. In the end, only purple heartgrass will survive.
This is why food cannot be grown here.
For these two reasons, the city of Annas has always been one of the least popular towns in Dasay City.
Because there are no people, the economy will naturally not be able to improve. The two superimposed will really add insult to injury to the city of Anna.
Some people may be curious, isn't purple heart grass a very valuable drug? Why not collect them and make them into ready-made drugs and then sell them? Wouldn't this make a lot of money?
In fact, some people have had such an idea, and even greedy businessmen from Airey City or York City secretly stationed here to steal purple heart grass, but this behavior was quickly eliminated by the border guards of Dashai City. At the same time, the Lord of Dashai City issued an imperial edict: Purple Heart Grass is a specialty medicinal herb of Dashai City. Anyone who steals it to make poison without approval is an act that violates the sovereignty of Dashai City. Border Guard The army has the right to strangle him and kill him first and then report him.
Although the border guards in Dashai City are just a collection of ordinary adventurers and seem to be mediocre in strength, they are better because they have more people and better equipment, and they also master many strategies and tactics. It is impossible to kill a dozen or so strong men. Not a problem.
As a result, most businessmen and adventurers were forced to give up stealing purple heart grass. After all, no matter how much purple heart grass you steal, it is not worth as much as your own life.
However, there will also be some guys who claim to be powerful and some businessmen who simply want money rather than their lives and continue to secretly collect and transport purple heart grass. However, most of these guys end up the same, being buried in the yellow sand outside the city. among.
"Didn't anyone think of spending money to bribe the lord of Anna City or the commander of the border guard?" I asked puzzledly.
"That must be true," said President Steel Hammer, "but the people of Dasai City are pure-hearted, loyal and hearty. Trying to bribe them with money is just wishful thinking."
"Is there no way to make friends with them?" I asked again.
"Want to be friends with them?" President Steel Hammer said hehey: "It's simple, one relies on strength and the other relies on sincerity. As long as you have these two points at the same time, you will be their friend."
I nodded: "It turns out it's just that simple."
President Steel Hammer slapped his thigh and said: "That's right. I also think these two points are very simple, but not many businessmen can do it. Mainly, it's because they value profits over friendship. They always feel that friends are just for... They are used, or friends are used to sell out. Once you have this kind of mentality, who would dare to be friends with people like them!"
Along the way, President Steel Hammer kept telling me about businessmen's behavior of neglecting love and focusing on profits, which made me feel dizzy.
Fortunately, the magic airship arrived quickly. I got off the airship and looked around. It was really an endless grassland, with knee-high purple heart grass fluttering in the wind. No matter how you looked at it, this scene was extremely beautiful.
Listening to the rustling of grass and looking up to the blue sky, I always feel much more relaxed.
"It's pretty," said President Steel Hammer. "The first time I came here was the same as you. This guy Aoli was more exaggerated than me. He even took off his shirt and ran shirtless on the grassland, hahahaha."
President Aoli glared at President Steel Hammer and said sarcastically: "Yes, you are better than me. I had diarrhea just after I got off the airship and didn't walk very far. I couldn't hold it in anymore, so I dug into the grass to deal with it, but I was passed by by a passer-by. The fox girl saw it, and the big white butt scared the fox girl immediately, she thought it was some kind of monster, hahahaha!"
"If you don't tell me, I will die!" President Steel Hammer said displeased.
"You told me first!" President Ollie retorted.
Then the two of them started to quarrel, and they got into a fight.
I hurriedly came between the two of them and separated them from each other. I stopped the two from continuing to fight, and at the same time persuaded them to calm down. We are the strongest friends, so there was no need to fight.
Steel Hammer would have one of his eyes green, waving his fist and saying, "He hit me first!"
President Aoli pursed one corner of his mouth, tried hard to kick out his short legs, and said, "You laughed at me first!"
The two of them exchanged words with each other, and soon the atmosphere became intense again, and the two were about to start a second round of physical combat.
Just at this moment, not far away, an old man's voice sounded: "Are they President Steel Hammer and President Aoli?"
Looking up, he saw an old man from the beast race with white hair and beard dozens of steps away, walking slowly with his hands behind his back.
He was wearing a new-looking coarse cloth gown, with a long cigarette rod hanging from the hem. Every time he took a step, the cigarette rod would swing gently with his body.
President Steel Hammer and President Aoli stopped their movements when they heard the sound. After seeing the old man, they couldn't help but retract their raised fists and kicked feet one by one, stood up straight again, and calmed down. His clothes were in a mess, and then he tried his best to smile and said, "What a coincidence. I never expected that the Lord of Leicester would come here!"
"It must be because I feel it's too much of a coincidence," the Lord of Leicester said with a smile, "You actually came all the way here to visit your injured child?"
"Well, yes," President Auli said.
After saying that, he pulled me forward and said, "Xiaoyi, this is the lord of Anna City, Lester."
"Hello Lord Leicester," I bowed my head and said respectfully, "I am An Xiaoyi, an adventurer."
"Oh, hehe, hello, little friend An Xiaoyi." He stretched out his hand and shook my hand.
I glanced at Jackson, who also took a step forward and said, "Hello, Lord of Leicester, my name is Jackson."
"Hello, little friend Jackson." The Lord of Leicester shook hands with Jackson again.
Afterwards, President Aoli and President Steelhammer chatted with the Lord of Leicester in parallel, while Jackson and I followed leisurely while admiring the scenery.
After walking for more than half an hour, we finally arrived at the place where the residents were.
Looking around, there are two-story lofts standing in rows, neat and tidy. Compared with the noisy city of Dashai, it has a different flavor.
