Chapter 298 Jiuwan City
One morning in late July.
A small boat sailed out of the foggy jungle.
The swaying boat went downstream along the Dusk River, one of the three rivers in Jiuwan City, and finally arrived at Jiuwan City, located in the center of the forest courtyard world.
Then, the boat stopped by the river.
The two people on the boat returned to the ground and abandoned the boat.
The woman gave some money to the man, and the other carried a brown horse, and then they walked towards Jiuwan City together.
The man and woman were naturally Lindsay and Elini.
More than a month passed.
Logically, Elini's beloved horse should have been taken care of in the villages and towns along the way, either recovered or died.
But this time the horse's pneumonia seemed to be related to some foreign body.
After a short period of improvement, it soon relapsed, and doctors with lower abilities were even helpless.
So until the end, the two still set off with a sick horse.
Seeing that it was the last leg of the journey to the city, Lindsay didn't mind carrying the horse.
On the way to the city, he joked to Elini:
"Elini, we spent a lot of time on this horse?"
Elini smiled:
"Who said it wasn't?"
Lindsay asked:
"Have you ever thought about selling this horse on the road like other goods?"
"If it were in another world, I would have sold it long ago!" Elini gritted her teeth and cried: "But in a world like Forest Courtyard, buying a horse is not a small amount. I will definitely lose a lot if I deal with it casually!"
"If you really want to sell it at a suitable price, you have to go to a big city like Jiuwan City."
Lindsay can understand Elini's thoughts.
The environment of Forest Courtyard does not meet the needs of raising horses.
And the local beasts used for carrying goods have not yet been successfully domesticated, so the price of this type of livestock is still high.
Not long after, the two came to the outside of Jiuwan City.
Three rivers nearby crisscrossed the city, and the gate that Lindsay and his team arrived at was built at the exit of a river.
Even though there were other residents coming in and out of the city on a daily basis.
But Elini, with a sad face, and Lindsay, wearing a fisherman's suit and carrying a horse on his hand, were still too eye-catching.
The guards on the bridge saw them from a distance.
A middle-aged guard informed his companions and ran over:
"Are you two... awakened?"
Ordinary people certainly can't walk around with a horse on their backs.
The guards didn't dare to neglect it.
Lindsay didn't speak, and Elini stepped forward to negotiate:
"I'm a businessman, and this is my assistant."
"We came from Lookout Point City, and the horse got sick on the way. So I'm sorry, we can only use this conspicuous method."
"I understand, Ms. Merchant." The guard nodded and asked as usual, "So have you ever entered Jiuwan City before?"
Elini took out a badge engraved with a double snake pattern and handed it to the other party for inspection.
At the same time, he introduced himself:
"Of course, Elini, my name is also in the merchant guild in the city."
While checking the badge, the guard looked carefully at Lindsay who was carrying a horse behind him:
"Then this..."
Elini suddenly asked back:
"The road from the Black Mountain World to the border of the universe has been reopened. You should have received the news here, right?"
The guard nodded naturally:
"Of course, the messenger sent the news two months ago."
Irene smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, and a few copper coins slipped into the other party's arms along her fingertips:
"He is the awakener I hired over there."
"Don't worry, this guy is a game player by profession, and his ability is just a little bit of strength..."
The guard was not willing to provoke the awakener, not to mention that the other party also gave a tip, and there was also a record of recognition in the city.
After such negotiations.
Lindsay also successfully obtained the identity to enter the city.
Then they went to the commercial district of Jiuwan City.
The two people who had been together all the way here finally came to the time of separation.
Lindsay didn't play with Elini this time, but deliberately transported the merchant girl's horse to the Chamber of Commerce, and then prepared to leave quietly.
Elini chased out directly, in an impatient tone:
"Lindsay, are you leaving?"
Lindsay nodded:
"You have to continue doing business, and I have my own things to do."
"..."
"Then I wish you good luck."
Elini's expression suddenly changed from impatient to a gentle smile.
She came over and hugged Lindsay as if she was parting with a good friend, and whispered softly:
"In Jiuwan City, I can still help you solve the identity problem of entering the city."
"But if you go to Yaoyue City, you have to find a way yourself."
"Be careful..."
Leaving this reminder, the merchant girl walked into the Chamber of Commerce without looking back.
Lindsay stood at the door.
Soon I heard the girl complaining about the bad luck on the journey and the confrontation over the price of horse handling.
"Then I wish you a prosperous business."
Lindsay said goodbye in a low voice.
During the three-month journey, although the two had many intrigues, they have become true friends.
Otherwise, they would be profit-seeking businessmen.
Elini would not help him solve the trouble of entering the city for free, and it was even more impossible for her to chase him out to remind him when they parted at the end.
Say goodbye to this merchant friend who met by chance.
Lindsay turned around and walked alone in Jiuwan City.
Compared with Lookout Point City on the edge of the world, this city has many houses built of stone or bricks in addition to the most easily seen wooden buildings.
But the most eye-catching thing is the three rivers.
Echo Valley River, Shang River, and Dusk River.
These three rivers originally met in the courtyard in the forest, but they did not merge into one river, but divided into three tributaries again.
Jiuwan City was located here, and all the river bends of the three rivers were included in it.
Anywhere in the city.
As long as you pass through two blocks, you can see the river running in the city.
But it is not like the water city of Venice, where the entire city floats on the water, and it is still the foundation of the land city.
"But if the rainy season comes, there will be a flood."
"Will the city be flooded?"
This question naturally emerged in Lindsay's mind.
The four seasons in the forest garden are not obvious, but the interweaving of the rainy season and the dry season dominates the climate of this world.
After walking for a while, Lindsay stopped thinking about this problem.
Because he realized the characteristics of this world:
"After all, there are awakened people to manage it, maybe they have a way to deal with it?"
Lindsay's thoughts gradually shifted to the real purpose of his trip.
The doctor who treated the organizer's injuries-Mr. Tang.
"So, let's go to the city hall and ask about the situation first."
"And the other party is not related to me."
"If I want to entrust the treatment, I'm afraid it will cost some money."
