Zhang Hao mingled in the crowd and watched with the villagers. The grandson of Nanas was just like what the sentry said. He had purple-red hair, blue eyes, bright and spirited, and unconcealable confidence. He had thick eyebrows, a square face, and was full of heroic spirit. He was dressed in a noble's robe with a blue coat of arms embroidered on his chest. There was a long sword in a black scabbard on his left waist, and a tall horse with white fur and black hooves stood beside him. He was unusually handsome. This was a noble knight.
The noble placed his left hand on the hilt of his sword and knelt on one knee with his left foot. He bowed to the old man. The noisy crowd quieted down, and the noble said softly,"Grandfather, I didn't let you down. I've graduated from the Royal Academy.”At the end of her sentence, she swallowed her words and tears flowed down her face.
The crowd suddenly cheered, and some even blew their whistles. Everyone was happy for the old man. Amid the cheers, Nanas shakily helped his grandson up, wiped the corner of his eyes, and said,""It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." She pulled her grandson home.
Christine had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw the two of them return, she went up to them. Zhang Hao looked from afar and saw the young man caressing Christine's forehead lovingly. Christine tugged at the noble's clothes and sobbed slightly. Zhang Hao turned around. He didn't want to look at the Family Diagram anymore. He felt even more depressed. When would he be able to go home? His parents must be crying too.
When the three of them entered the house, the crowd gradually dispersed. Zhang Hao walked aimlessly in the village for a while and finally made a decision. Let's go.
After two months, Zhang Hao roughly understood the dangers of this world from the villagers 'stories. The birds in the sky, the beasts on the ground, and the fish in the water could all be dangerous. The fierceness of the fire spiders was also evident. He was good at sword techniques, so he should go find a sword first.
Uncle Jack was the only blacksmith in the village. The villagers 'hoes and sickle were all forged by him. Zhang Hao stood outside the door for a while, calmed himself down, and began to knock on the door. After a while, the door opened, and a tanned, muscular man in his forties came out.
"Uncle Jack, do you have a well-forged longsword?”
Jack stared at Zhang Hao's eyes, which made Zhang Hao quite puzzled. After a while, he turned around and returned to his room. He took out a long sword. The scabbard was made of an unknown animal skin and had not been decorated. Zhang Hao pulled out his sword. It was an ordinary iron sword. It was not very sharp, but it was enough for Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao casually drew the sword. The sword was very fitting and the weight was just right. There was no discomfort at all.
"Are you planning to leave without saying goodbye?" Jack suddenly asked.
"How did you know?" Zhang Hao was so shocked that he could not close his mouth.
Jack touched his chin and said proudly,"I can see that our village can't stop an eagle like you. I once heard from Nanas 'granddaughter that you wake up very early every day and practice a sword style that is very similar to slow dance with a tree branch.”He looked at Zhang Hao teasingly and said,""A slow dance is indeed a good match for your appearance.”
Zhang Hao was speechless. He had never heard of the Taiji Two Forms Sword Art being related to looks. In addition, Zhang Hao had never thought of himself as an eagle. At most, he was a chick with broken wings.
Zhang Hao sheathed his sword and bowed to Jack, saying,"Say goodbye to Grandpa Nanas and Christine for me.”He paused and said,"Thank you for your sword, Uncle."”After saying that, he turned around and left. If he continued, he might not be able to bear to leave.
Jack walked out of the house and watched Zhang Hao leave the village entrance. He sighed and shifted his gaze to Nanas's house. He muttered to himself,"That girl, Christine, will probably be sad for a while.”
Not long after they left the village, Zhang Hao scolded himself for being imprudent. If he was penniless, wouldn't he become a beggar? When he turned back, he didn't look good. He didn't want to either. Just as he was feeling troubled, a thought flashed in his mind and he shouted,"There's a way." As soon as he finished speaking, he had already walked dozens of meters away. If the people of this world saw him, they would definitely be shocked."What a fast Gale Spell."
It was already afternoon. Zhang Hao was carrying a branch of the Tree of Enchantment on his shoulder. He circulated his internal strength and used his qinggong to run all the way. Judging from the villagers 'reaction when they received the branch of the Barrier Tree, this thing should not be valuable. If he brought it to the city and sold it, he should be able to gather enough money to eat for a period of time.
In the past two months, Zhang Hao had been reading the map hanging in his room whenever he had time. He had a good understanding of the geography of this world. There was a city in the south of the village called Kroko. Judging from the distance marked on the map, the actual distance between the two cities was roughly the same.。。Zhang Hao didn't know either. He only heard from the villagers that if they took a carriage, they could leave in the morning and arrive in the evening.
After careful consideration, Zhang Hao decided to use 40% of his internal strength to activate the Cloud Ladder. This speed was definitely four times faster than the carriage. He could run for more than six hours and definitely reach Crocco City before dark. A day in this world was about 24 hours, but the unit of time they used was twice as long as on Earth. In other words, one taka hour here was equivalent to two hours on Earth, so a day had a total of twelve taka hours.
It was faster than expected. It was still early, and a tall city wall appeared on the horizon. Zhang Hao smiled happily and sped up. When he was not far from the city, he put away his qinggong and slowly walked toward the city gate with a tree branch on his shoulder.
As he got closer, he realized that there was a moat about five meters wide and four meters deep outside the city wall. A suspension bridge about six meters wide connected the city gate and the land here. Caravans and citizens with goods came and went on the bridge. Zhang Hao followed behind a caravan into the city.
Zhang Hao was travel-worn. His disheveled appearance of carrying a branch caused many citizens to laugh. When they saw that it was a barrier tree with white leaves, they could no longer laugh. Instead, they looked at Zhang Hao with envy. After wandering around the street for a while, Zhang Hao decided to find someone to ask where he could sell the branch. A young man who was about the same age as Zhang Hao walked up and asked,"You want to sell this branch, right?”
"Yes." Zhang Hao nodded. This young man had green hair and green eyes. He was also a commoner.
"My family is buying this thing." The young man touched the leaves on the branch and praised,""The leaves are still fresh. They should be worth 50 silver coins.”After the young man finished speaking, he walked ahead and led the way.
50 silver coins. Zhang Hao was delighted. He was quite smart. One silver coin was equivalent to one tael of silver in ancient China. Five silver coins was enough for the entire family to spend for a year. Along the way, Zhang Hao found that as long as it was a mansion, there would be a barrier tree planted in front of the house and behind the house. Some even had several trees planted to surround the house. The houses that did not have an enchantment tree were mostly ordinary houses.
After a few turns, they arrived at a shop with a sign outside: The young man followed the young man into the magic item store. As the name suggested, the shop was filled with strange items such as staffs, crystal balls, talismans, and colorful ores. A middle-aged man with an average appearance was checking two books behind the counter in the middle.
The young man took the branch from Zhang Hao's shoulder and gently placed it in front of the middle-aged man, saying with a little pride,""Dad, I met a seller who sells barrier trees. The leaves are still very fresh. The city lord's wife will definitely like them.”The middle-aged man stopped what he was doing and checked the leaf. As the young man said, it was indeed very fresh. Then, he touched the cut on the branch with his finger as usual. He was shocked and wiped it hard twice. He brought the cut close to his eyes and stared at it. Just as Zhang Hao and the young man were wondering, the middle-aged man slammed the counter hard and pointed at the door. He shouted at the young man,"Quick, go and invite the City Lord's wife. Tell her that the freshest thousand-year-old barrier tree has arrived.”
The young man was shocked and stumbled out of the door. The middle-aged man looked like he had picked up a treasure. His eyes were shining as he stared at the leaves. His hands kept rubbing between the branches and leaves. He ignored Zhang Hao, which made Zhang Hao confused. However, he was 70 - 80% right. He seemed to be lucky.
