The relay stations in this world were similar to modern bus stations. They were also divided into shifts and routes. It could be said that other than the carriage used to carry people, the other operating procedures were almost the same as modern vehicle dispatching. This made me feel a little emotional. At the horse tag counter at the relay station, we spent 10 gold coins and received two horse tags. Of course, I was penniless now, but Jin Hong helped me pay first. To a ranger, 10 gold coins was nothing. After that, we squeezed into a large carriage. These two carriages were really, really big, similar to modern carriages. They had windows and were divided into four long rows of seats arranged vertically. Jin Hong and I found our seats according to the horse tag. Our seats were on the left side of the carriage, on the long row of seats. It was currently September, so the weather was rather hot and stuffy. That was why the windows of the carriage were all open. Through the windows, I could see that the horses pulling the carriage were made up of four big black dragons. The coachman swiftly put the shaft on the pull ring of the carriage and made sure that it was fixed. Then, he climbed onto the seat and closed his eyes to rest. It seemed like they were waiting for the departure time. It was a bit like a modern railway locomotive pulling a carriage! He could even change horses and carriages. It was really convenient and fast.
I noticed that the majority of the people in the carriage were commoners dressed in plain clothes. Other than me and Jin Hong, there were three middle-aged men dressed like rangers. However, judging from their equipment, their strength should be at least at the advanced level of rangers. At least I knew that the tall bearded man was able to wear the War God Armor and was definitely not weak with the Purgatory Battle Axe in his hand. The other two were both women. One of them was dressed like a mage and was around 30 years old. She had golden hair and golden eyes, making her look delicate and charming. The weapon in her hand was a devil's palm. The older woman, who looked to be in her fifties, was dressed as a Taoist priest. Among the three of them, she seemed to be the highest level because her sword had a dragon pattern. This was a Red Moon level that was even higher than a high-level profession. If I had to compare, it should be on the same level as the half-beast commander I encountered. However, if we really fought, I think the half-beast commander would be much stronger. Another combination of combat techniques, I analyzed in my heart. There were only five horizontal bars on their guild logo, and they were only level five.
Of course, when I was sizing up the three rangers, they were also sizing me up. After all, other than the three of them, only Jin Hong and I were dressed in ranger attire. It was hard not to notice!
I smiled slightly as a greeting. No matter what, we were in the same trade. The other party also slightly bowed and smiled before closing his eyes to rest. After all, Jin Hong and I were just two novice rangers. There was nothing worth paying attention to. In addition, I could tell that they were experts in traveling. They knew how to seize the time to rest at all times, but even so, their hands were never more than 10 centimeters away from their weapons. As for that bearded warrior, even with his eyes closed, he pressed his hand on the Purgatory's handle. I wasn't naive enough to think that they had fallen asleep. I believed that if anything were to happen, his Purgatory Battle Axe would definitely be in his hand at the first moment.
Thump! Thump! The carriage to Mengzhong will depart now. I wish everyone a safe journey!
The manager of the relay station knocked on our carriage and smiled sweetly before leading the carriage out of the relay station.
Ta!
The carriage quickly left the city gate and began to speed up. Its speed was almost the same as a modern bus. It was fast and stable, and the passengers in the carriage leaned against their seats and dozed off. It seemed that these people were always out.
Most of the journey from the earth city to the earth city was through wilderness and grasslands. There were also inns for travelers to rest and eat in. The carriage would stop after eight hours to rest for a while before continuing on its journey. Along the way, there were often people riding fast horses that overtook us and disappeared into the dust. In this world, the average income per person was not very high. Other than some skilled rangers, most people had a hard time. Not many people could afford a horse. Therefore, people who owned horses in this world were almost the same as people who owned cars in modern times. They were richer than ordinary civilians because ordinary civilians might not be willing to spend money to raise horses even if they had horses. One had to know that the fodder consumed by a horse in a day was six times that of an adult's rations! If there was no special use for it, no one would be willing to raise a horse.
However, these bitter days seemed to be too far away from me. It was only after I left the Ye family that I realized that compared to the outside world, the Ye family could be considered a paradise. At least there, the people of our village lived very comfortably, and every family had extra money. Moreover, they did not have to fear the invasion of thieves. It was much stronger than the outside world. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of my mother again! She didn't know how he was doing now. It seemed that he had to write a letter to her mother after settling down in Mengchong.
Five days later, they finally entered the territory of the Mengzhong Earth City! Looking at the long yellow wall in front of me, I felt an indescribable excitement in my heart!
I've finally come to the heavy earth city of the league!
To be honest, after coming to this world for so long, I had always wanted to see what the Great City of Biqi, the Great City of Mengzhong, and the Heavenly Gate of Daytime looked like. It was a pity that I had never been able to do so. Now, I finally had the chance to see what the Great City of Mengzhong was like. I felt as if my chest was about to explode as I stared at the wall that was getting closer and closer. As I got closer, I realized that there was another smaller building outside the wall. It was also surrounded by walls. If I'm not wrong, that should be the Mengzhong Bookstore! At least in my memory, the building outside the city was the Mengzhong Bookstore, but what was the reality?
At this moment, all I could see was a long wall in the middle of the endless yellow sand. There was also a spire that rose slightly behind the wall. In the endless wilderness, I could only see this section. It felt very desolate and desolate, as if it was a relic that had just been unearthed. It had a kind of vicissitudes and profound foundation. I didn't know how to describe my feelings.
Finally, when the carriage got closer, I saw the tall wooden door standing in front of the wall. There were only two words on the wooden plaque: Earth City, Vigorous and Heroic. Although it wasn't a Chinese character, it made me feel the unique life of Chinese calligraphy. It was like an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, silently watching this empty and desolate desert. The handwriting was a little blurry. Perhaps it was due to the years of wind and sand that caused a palm-sized hole to be missing from the upper left corner of the plaque. The angle of the plaque was also a little crooked, but it still hung tenaciously. Under the wooden door were four armored guards with large swords in their hands. The carriage drove straight into the city, but I was a little confused as soon as I entered.
It was completely different from what could be seen from the outside. What could be seen here was only a dense stream of people and countless densely packed shops. There were no stalls on the street, as if all the merchants had placed their goods in the shops. Once the carriage entered the city gate, it turned and jogged for a while before stopping.
Welcome to Mengzhong Earth City!
Young hero, do you want to stay in the hotel?
Our inn has complete facilities, thoughtful service, and delicious dishes. You will definitely feel at home.
.............................................
Before I even got off the carriage, I was already surrounded by a dense crowd of waiters. I couldn't help but feel a little stunned. Heavens, I didn't expect the waiters of the Fa Ma World to be so smart as to wait at the relay station to attract customers.
The moment Jin Hong and I got out of the car, we were surrounded by several waiter-like guys!
"Young hero, do you want to stay in the hotel? Cloud Inn only cost 50 silver coins a night. Moreover, the environment was quiet and the transportation was convenient!”
"Our Immortal Travel Inn only costs 40 silver coins, and breakfast is free!”
"We…"
It seemed like competition was everywhere! The merchants in this world were also very smart!
But with so many inns, how am I supposed to find Long Xin and the others? Remember when I told them to wait for me at the inn in Mengzhong Earth City! But now, he was surrounded by so many waiters as soon as he got out of the car, but none of them knew that he was a waiter of the Tucheng Inn! Or could it be that there was no Tucheng Inn in this world?？
I was secretly anxious, but Jin Hong could tell that something was wrong with my expression!
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"That one!" "Are you familiar with this Earth City?"？”
"It's alright! I've been here a few times before!" Jin Hong said.
"Then do you know if there's a place called Tucheng Inn in Tucheng?”I said guiltily.
"Oh, you mean the Earth City Inn!”" Of course I know," Jin Hong said." It's the oldest inn in Earth City, and it's specially used to entertain rangers!"”
"Ah! Really?" I grabbed Jin Hong's arm and urged,"Then quickly bring me to the Earth City Inn!”
"It hurts!" Jin Hong broke free from my grip and rubbed her reddened arm as she gritted her teeth."Seriously, isn't it just an inn? Look at how excited you are!"
"Alright, stop complaining. Quickly bring me to the Tucheng Inn!”
"I really can't stand it!" Jin Hong grumbled as he quickly walked in front while I followed behind him. The two of us quickly walked through the streets and alleys. Although I always wanted to reach the Earth City Inn as soon as possible and didn't have the mood to admire or observe the environment here, I was sure that. This place was definitely very different from the legendary Mengzhong Earth City, but none of that mattered. I could already see a huge signboard in the distance. On the signboard was the word " stack ". In an instant, I was sure that this was the Earth City Inn I was looking for. Although most of the surrounding scenery was different from what I imagined, the signboard with the word " stack " was exactly the same as the legendary Mengzhong Earth City Inn. It was too similar.
"That's the Tucheng Inn!"
"It's really here!" I was overjoyed.”
"Lady Boss, I would like to ask if my friends Long Xin and the others live here!”At the door was a woman in green who was about forty years old. She had black hair and blue eyes. She had the shrewd gaze of a businessman. It really looked the same as the one in the Legend of Mir 2!
"Your name is Xingchen, right?" The lady boss looked at me up and down and muttered to herself,"Black hair, black eyes, about fourteen years old! It should be you!" "They've been waiting for you for more than half a month!" The lady boss pointed at the stairs. It was the fourth room on the left upstairs!”
"Thank you!" I pulled Jin Hong over and rushed up the stairs!
"Peng peng peng!"
"Who is it?" The one who opened the door was Long Zhan, but he looked at me with a dull expression."Xing-Chen!"
"Roar! It's the stars!" Long Zhan was ecstatic. He picked me up and spun me around in circles!
"Ah! It hurts! Let go!" Perhaps it was because of the excessive excitement, Long Zhan's hug almost made me fall apart. I struggled and finally made a sound.
"Ah! I'm sorry! I miss you too much!" Long Zhan said as he put me down. "If you hadn't come back by now, Boss and I would have charged into Wilma Forest to find you!"”
Ta! A burst of hurried footsteps came from inside the house. Before I could react, I felt a fragrant wind assail my nose and a soft body tightly wrapped around me!
"Brat! It really is you!" Long Xin was extremely excited and hugged me tightly in her arms."We all thought that you would never come back! Wu! Wu! I'm sorry!" He felt his face being soaked by a hot liquid! I was also inexplicably excited. What could be more exciting than the reunion of my comrades who had survived a disaster?
"That boss!" Although this scene really touched me, being hugged by a big girl like this made me feel very embarrassed. Moreover, her two plump big meatballs almost made me unable to breathe. I had no choice. Who asked me to be short and small, only as tall as Long Xin's shoulders. This time, she hugged me in her arms and pressed me into her arms with force. My entire face was buried between the two meatballs, although this tofu was a little sudden. However, Long Xin's strength was a little too strong. If this continued, I would be in danger of suffocating to death."Let go!" I waved my arms in vain, trying to break free from Boss Long Xin's embrace.
"Ah!" Only then did Long Xin realize how intimate her position was when she hugged me, and Long Qi and Long Zhan beside her were even more exaggerated as they spilled saliva all over the ground!
"Annoying!" Long Xin blushed and pushed me away.
"En! Haha! Haha!" I rubbed my head and laughed dryly.
At this moment, Long Qi also gave me a warm hug."Brat! If you never get out, we and Boss will feel guilty for the rest of our lives!”
"Haha!" "So, in order not to make you feel guilty, I had to come out even if I had to risk my life!"”
..............................
After a long time, Long Xin and the others finally realized that there was a delicate looking youth standing at the door.
"He is?" Long Xin hesitated.
"A friend I met on the road!" "He's called Jin Hong. It's all thanks to him that I was able to find you!" Otherwise, I won't even have the gold coins to ride the car!”
"Thank you! Young hero Jin Hong!" Long Xin said gratefully.
"You're welcome!" "You two have such a good relationship!" Jin Hong sighed. It makes people envious."
"Haha!" Long Xin patted my shoulder."This kid almost lost his life for us!”
"If possible!" "I also want to become one of you!" Jin Hong hesitated. Can I?"
"Ah! Are you saying that you want to join our Wandering Dragon Gang?”Long Xin couldn't help but raise her voice as she stared at Jin Hong in shock.
"Ah!" Jin Hong looked at Long Xin's exaggerated expression and said,"If it's not convenient, then forget it!”Jin Hong's voice was very soft, almost inaudible.
"It's convenient! Haha!" Long Xin smiled strangely. Our Wandering Dragon Gang finally has a new member!”
"Ah! What do you mean, you agreed?" Jin Hong was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course!" "From now on, you're the first member of Wandering Dragon Gang!" Long Xin said with a smile.”"Phew, we finally have a gang member!" Long Xin said excitedly.”
"What do you mean by finally having a gang member?" Jin Hong looked at Long Xin with a puzzled expression, then looked at Long Qi and Long Zhan, only to find that both of them had strange expressions. She could only look at me subconsciously.
"En ha! This!" "Let us introduce ourselves to you!" I said awkwardly.”I then cleared my throat and said,"First of all, my name is Xingchen, the deputy leader of Wandering Dragon Gang!"”As he spoke, he turned to Long Xin.
"This one!" "Me? I'm the Sect Master, Long Xin!" Long Xin said.”
"I'm Long Qi, the vice leader of Wandering Dragon Gang!”Long Qi introduced himself with standard Ranger etiquette.
"My name is Long Zhan, the Wandering Dragon Gang's vice gang leader!”Long Zhan bowed and said.
"That one!" "Is there anyone else?" Jin Hong looked around.”
"There are only four of us now!" Long Xin put on a serious expression!
"I mean, that!" "You guys, one chief and three deputy chiefs, you should have a lot of subordinates, right?" Jin Hong stammered.”
"So there isn't!" Long Xin looked at Jin Hong and said seriously,"But there is already one now!"”
“...”Jin Hong looked around in realization, only to see everyone looking at him with a certain expression."Could it be! Could it be! It's-it's me!"
"Yes!" Long Qi and Long Zhan nodded at the same time.”
"Bang!" Jin Hong fell to the ground with the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
"Hey!" "Wake up!" Long Xin was shocked.
......................................
After a long time, everyone calmed down.
"Xingchen, tell us, how did you escape?”At this moment, Long Qi asked the question they wanted to know the most,""Don't tell me you killed the half-beast commander.”
"Haha, how is that possible?" "I don't have that strength yet."”
"Tell me quickly." Long Xin was also impatient.
"Alright then." I knew that Long Xin would definitely beat me up if I continued to keep him in suspense, so I immediately told him how I had fooled the half-beast commander and how I had successfully escaped. It took me no less than an hour.
"Be good." Long Zhan had an incredulous expression.""Even this is fine!"
"Heavens." " You're really too talented," Long Qi muttered." You came up with a story out of thin air and actually made that guy believe it."”
"No, you have to tell us the story you made up again.”Long Xin was very interested in the story I had made up. After all, it was a story that the half-beast commander had believed and chased after me for an entire day and night.
"That." I broke into a sweat." Forget it. This lecture will take four hours.”
"Then we want to hear it too!" Long Zhan did not want to give up easily. It seemed that he was similarly very interested in this story.
"But, you know, I'm very tired. After all, I've been on the road for five days!”These guys are not going to let me live. Besides, I'm not a storyteller. Do they really want me to tell a story for another four hours?
"But we really want to hear it!”Long Xin did not intend to give up.
"Then I'll tell you later.”"At least let me rest for today. I want to wash my hair and tidy it up."”
“..”Long Xin and the other two could only give up when they saw my firm attitude.
"Then tell me, how did you escape after we separated?”Actually, I also want to know how they escaped from Wilma Forest.
"Haha." "We're really lucky," Long Xin said with a smile.”
After that, Long Xin told us what they had encountered. After separating from me, they kept running towards the north. However, they were lucky enough to encounter a small team of orcs. After killing them, they snatched the horses and successfully escaped.
The story didn't have any thrilling scenes because they hadn't met any experts. However, according to Long Qi's analysis, we were still very far from the Wilma Temple in the center of the Wilma Forest. We had only encountered their peripheral tribes. After all, our goal was to pass through the Wilma Forest and not enter the Wilma Temple to seize the treasures. Naturally, we did not have to trouble the orcs to send a large number of experts to chase after us. It was already very rare to be able to send a commander and two warriors. However, one thing was certain: once we tried to approach the Wilma Temple, we would be able to escape. That would definitely lead to death.
I agree with Long Qi's analysis.
