Chapter 144 Wind Roar City
After several consecutive days of heavy rain, the green plain finally ushered in a rare good weather, with flowers blooming, birds singing and fragrance, and a peaceful atmosphere.
Next to the Shuangfeng Avenue in the plain, two figures stood. Beside them, a beautifully decorated beast cart was parked. Through the bead curtains of the beast cart, you can see three people piled up like a stack of arhats inside the beast cart.
The three of them lay on the ground in a strange position, with ropes on their hands and feet.
"Brother-in-law, is this really good?"
Ye Tong stood beside Lin Fan, looking at the three people in a coma with amber eyes, looking at Lin Fan with her face, her white little tiger teeth flashed with a crystal luster.
"Although this is the Ruyin Plain, wild animals are also present at night. Moreover, there are thieves entrenched in some places. If they leave this alone, they may be dead."
For some reason, although Ye Tong's face was a little nervous, a little excitement was revealed in her voice.
She just asked Lin Fan how to deal with the beast car. Lin Fan directly asked him to knock out the three people in the beast car and throw them on it. He also asked the beast car to turn the direction and prepare the beast car to let the beast car return along the original road.
"If you really meet, they can only blame them for being unlucky. I don't want to see them in Fenghou City." Lin Fan shrugged indifferently.
Ye Tong couldn't help but squint his eyes, and the corners of his mouth also raised.
"What's wrong?" Lin Fan asked when he saw Ye Tong's expression.
Ye Tong bit her finger and looked at Lin Fan, as if thinking about how to express her thoughts. Then she blinked and smiled: "Brother-in-law, I suddenly realized that you are better than our team leader! I almost got deceived by you just now!"
"How could it be? I didn't have the strength to defeat a thief group and kill hundreds of people." Lin Fan remembered what Ye Tong said when he mentioned the regiment commander just now. He shrugged.
"I'm not talking about strength, but..." Ye Tong was going to argue something, but then saw Lin Fan's expression of unclearity, he shook his head again: "Forget it, you will know when you meet the leader in the future."
Lin Fan looked at Ye Tong strangely, then he looked up at the sky and said, "Okay, let's finish the business first, and then we go to Fenghou City."
It is noon now. According to Ye Tong, it is still half a day away from Fenghou City, and there is no carriage. If you don’t hurry up now, you may sleep in the wild at night.
Ye Tong took a step back, and Lin Fan asked the fire elf to form a magic summoning array.
Buzz!
Under the control of Lin Fan's mental power, the fire elves began to let the fire element form a magic summoning array. The moment the summoning array was completed, a hot wave of air appeared in front of Lin Fan. Then, a dark red fire blade burning with flames jumped out of the fire and flew directly towards the beast.
Puff!
The fire blade flew past the barbarian beast, and the scorching elemental flame burning on it left a charred mark on the barbarian beast's back hips.
roar!
The sudden severe pain made the huge body of the beast that was eating the grass on the ground tremble, and it made a sharp roar. The thick four hooves moved rapidly, accompanied by a rumble like thunder. The beast car rushed forward at a speed that had never been seen before, making people worried whether the three people inside would be bumped out.
"Good luck to you." Ye Tong looked at the beast car that was gradually disappearing at the end of the road, showed a smile on her face, turned around and said to Lin Fan, "Brother-in-law, let's go."
Lin Fan nodded, and the two turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the disappearance of the beast car.
Although there is no beast car. Ye Tong is a median shadow swordsman. Lin Fan's physical fitness has now grown to the level of an intermediate warrior, and the two of them are not slow to travel.
Advancing along the Frost Wind Avenue, there was no trace of people on the road at the beginning. Looking around, the eyes were filled with green wilderness.
Two hours later, there were gradually figures on the road, and there were no longer wilderness around them. The dense trees gradually increased. The nearby trees were not coniferous forests like Apanda Village, but broad-leaved forests. Occasionally, you can see the land that people cultivate.
Lin Fan paid attention to the surrounding scenery along the way, and gradually deepened his understanding of Fenghou City from Ye Tong's conversation.
Fenghou City is the most marginal city in the west of Qifeng Kingdom. Because it is close to the fertile green plain and the existence of the Frost Wind Avenue, the only road connecting Qifeng Kingdom and the Luna Empire, Fenghou City has become an important commercial city.
From the conversation with Ye Tong, Lin Fan absorbed the knowledge he had never known before and kept it in his heart.
As he advanced, the surrounding terrain became no longer as flat as before. Occasionally, some small slopes appeared in the field of view of the two. Ye Tong told Lin Fan that this place was not far from Fenghou City.
There were more pedestrians on the road at this moment, as well as many beasts holding heavy goods, and the chariots with gorgeous decorations outside, which you can tell at a glance that the owner of the carriage is either rich or noble.
The roar of the beast and the whispers of people filled the wide road, making Lin Fan feel a long-lost feeling in his heart. He hadn't felt this kind of excitement for a long time.
"There are so many people here." Looking at the bustling crowd in front of you, I couldn't help but sigh.
"Of course, although Fenghou City is not big, it is the most important commercial city in the west of Qifeng Country. Werewolfs of the Luna Empire, even our Ortra Kingdom, and the human kingdom in the north, the Golden Kingdom and Qifeng Country trade, all need to pass Fenghou City." Ye Tong blinked his big eyes and looked at Lin Fan who nodded, and said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, you have never heard of Fenghou City before, right?"
"I don't have any impression, I probably forgot." Lin Fan grabbed his hair and said a little embarrassedly.
Ye Tong saw Lin Fan's embarrassing expression and thought that Lin Fan remembered the memory loss, so she did not continue to ask questions.
Lin Fan's eyes wandered among the crowd and found that as Ye Tong said, there were many Tucker people, among which werewolfs the most. Although these werewolfs were not as arrogant as in the Luna Empire, they still looked arrogant. Moreover, the human civilians nearby looked at them with a fearful attitude and dared not approach them.
Seeing this scene, Lin Fan couldn't help but frown.
At this time, Ye Tong's excited voice suddenly sounded next to him.
"Brother-in-law. Look! We're here!" Ye Tong pulled Lin Fan, put his toes on his toes, and pointed ahead excitedly.
Lin Fan looked in the direction pointed by Ye Tong, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
At the end of the road ahead, a city stands between a group of hillsides! It is not like a small town like a trade market like a trade market, but a real city.
The green city wall is seven or eight meters high, and even from such a distance, you can't see the entire city wall. Crossing the city wall, you can see various buildings of different heights. The crowded voices are coming here like waves. Even if you don't enter the city, you can already feel the enthusiasm of the city!
Looking at the huge city in front of him, Lin Fan was stunned for a moment.
Woo woo...
Suddenly, a strange whine sound woke Lin Fan from the shock, and the sound was a little like a whimper, very low. Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and looked for the source of the sound, but strangely discovered that the sound was actually coming from Fenghou City, and it was not a specific direction, and it felt like the sound made by the entire city. Lin Fan paid attention to the people around him and found that no one else stopped because of the sudden sound. It seemed that they could not hear the sound.
"What's going on?"
Lin Fan looked at this strange scene and couldn't help but whisper. Such a loud sound, even the ground was trembling, and it was impossible for them to not hear it.
"Brother-in-law, it's not that we can't hear it, but we're used to it. Moreover, this is the origin of the name of Fenghou City."
Ye Tong seemed to see Lin Fan's doubts, and pointed to the front with a smile:
"The location of Fenghou City is special. Look at the surrounding mountains. These mountains have been studied. The location of the mountains just forms a huge summoning array! When the wind blows through the mountains, if it passes by Fenghou City, it will make such a sound. It is precisely because of this that although Fenghou City is close to the Iron Ridge Mountains with many monsters, few monsters appear here. It seems that the monsters don't like this sound very much."
"So that's how it is." Lin Fan nodded suddenly, and he looked at Fenghoucheng again. At the same time, the dark red five-pointed stars in his pupils flashed slightly.
Fenghou City, along with the entire world, has become pure elements in his vision.
Lin Fan raised his vision and found that the arrangement of wind elements on Fenghou City was indeed a bit strange, as if he was attracted by some mysterious force. Every time the wind elements pass by, these wind elements will begin to restless, which is very similar to the elements in the arrangement of spells when casting spells.
“What an interesting city.”
Lin Fan returned to normal vision, and then walked towards the city gate with Ye Tong.
The gate of Fenghou City is designed with hanging stones. There are rows of shiny guards standing on both sides of the city gate. They look at the people entering and leaving the city gate with sharp eyes, giving people an invisible pressure.
"Stop!" When Lin Fan and Ye Tong were about to enter the city gate, the guards next to him suddenly stopped Lin Fan with the silver spear in their hands.
"Taxes for entering the city, ten thors!" The guard looked at Lin Fandao, as if he had seen him as a civilian evading the taxes for entering the city, so the orchid-brown eyes were shining with a sharp light.
It's no wonder. Lin Fan is now wearing a short linen coat. This rough linen seems to be tied to his body with ropes. It feels uncomfortable. The only advantage is that it is cheap enough. It is basically a signature dress for ordinary people.
"Tax for entering the city?"
Lin Fan was slightly stunned and looked at the side, only to find that everyone entering Fenghou City would pay ten thols to the guards.
"I didn't expect there would be taxes here. In the future, I would also build a city in the territory, and then sit at home every day to earn city taxes. Well, that's it!..." Lin Fan muttered to himself, fantasizing about his dream of getting rich in the future, and reached out to take twenty Thors for the guards.
"One person only needs ten thors." The guard looked at the twenty thors in his hand, frowned, and said.
Lin Fan pointed to Ye Tong beside him and said, "I'm with her."
The guard looked at Ye Tong, and the eyes that seemed to have to draw their swords at the same time just now were disagreeing, and immediately bent. Then he pointed at Lin Fan and asked with a smile: "Sir, do you know him?" His tone was obviously distrustful.
Ye Tong looked at Lin Fan with a meaningful smile on his face. He smiled and pointed his chin: "Ah, yes, he is my servant."
"So that's the case, please come in."
The guard nodded, made a request gesture to Ye Tong, then glared at Lin Fan, got closer, returned all the Saul in his hand to Lin Fan, and threatened with Ye Tong's inaudible voice: "Boy, are you trying to make trouble for me on purpose? Want to lose my job? Don't let me meet you next time, otherwise, I will let you know what price I will pay for teasing me!" (To be continued...)
