Chapter 88 Entering the City
"Sigh!" Xiao Yan placed his hands behind his head, looking somewhat boredly at the group of fellows in front of him who wanted to come and rob them, and sighed.
"Sigh!" Fang Bie imitated him, with a grass root still in his mouth, and also sighed.
It's not that they didn't want to be serious, it's just that this World, why does it feel like there are so many idiots?
In just three days on the road, six waves of robbers came, and they were all the kind of fellows who thought too highly of themselves and overestimated their capabilities, only after being taught a lesson by the two of them and crying for their parents, did they realize true terror, but the next wave still came tirelessly to throw away their lives.
"Are you going or am I?" Fang Bie casually threw away the grass root in his mouth, and asked lazily.
"I'll go, you handled the previous two waves." Xiao Yan summoned his knife from the Air, a Katana that looked somewhat plain and unadorned, even a bit ugly appeared in his hand.
Xiao Yan didn't even have the mind to take out his Weapon, if Fang Bie hadn't reminded him that both of their weapons still had the requirement to kill enemies, he would have been too lazy to even glance at these fellows.
The Great Tachi itself is actually not very good-looking, it has neither any special Color nor any particularly powerful effect, it's just said that after killing a hundred people, one can obtain the special effect of Phantom Blade.
"Ah!" Several screams came, these fellows didn't even last a few seconds under Xiao Yan's hand, and had already turned into corpses destined to become dry bones.
Fang Bie, regarding these robbers who didn't even leave a single word or phrase in the Original Story, of course, he wouldn't have any thoughts, put away the Knife he was preparing to take out, narrowed his eyes and opened the Map in his hand.
Two fellows who had absolutely no idea where the road ahead was, finally spent a high price to buy such a Map from a traveling merchant on the Road.
Anyway, Money didn't seem very valuable to the two of them, so they didn't care about the high price others asked for.
"Where are we?" Xiao Yan asked, the Katana in his hand automatically returned to its scabbard, his face had already leaned over from the side.
"It seems like this is the last Place where someone is lying in ambush, beyond here should be the Official Road, Black Rock City is just ahead of the Official Road, roughly, um..." Fang Bie pondered for a moment, "I don't know how far of a Place."
"Hey!" Xiao Yan slapped his thigh, "I thought you could accurately tell us how much Time it would take to arrive, and you just give me that?"
"Otherwise, you take a look?" Fang Bie held out the Map in his hand, "Actually, it's quite simple, if you don't believe me, take a look."
Xiao Yan immediately showed an Expression of 'you little rascal, don't try to fool me' and didn't have any intention of coming over to look at all, "Forget it, I don't even believe myself. Last time, we almost went off track into a ditch, wasn't it because you were lazy and didn't look at the Map?"
"Alright then, let's keep going!" Fang Bie wasn't slow either, stuffed the Map into his Backpack, and quickly stepped into the Forest ahead.
After the two of them crossed the Forest, they also understood why the Map showed that Black Rock City was not far from the Road and there were no markers.
Just standing by the Doorway, they could feel the Pressure this huge city brought to them, and under the Sunlight, the City Wall even more displayed an unexpected Metal Luster.
"I heard that this City Wall is made of a complete piece of black Rock, the city is built in the middle of this Rock, it can be considered a truly natural city!" Xiao Yan said.
Fang Bie narrowed his eyes, looking at this City Wall with some surprise, this fantasy-like World, indeed possesses things of even more magnificent Color, which are often hard to see in the natural World, just seeing this Stone makes the trip worthwhile.
After they crossed the Forest and came to this main Road, the flow of people gradually increased, people from many Small Paths all gathered here, after all, this is the largest city around the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, many, many people are gathering here.
"I heard that this Stone once withstood the full-force attack of two Battle Kings, the Gama Empire was built here because of that, and became one of the most important cities in the east." Xiao Yan educated Fang Bie, but his words were not fluent.
Fang Bie gave him a sharp Gaze, "Could you put away the Book in your hand before speaking, people are selling melons like old woman Wang, but you are selling what you just learned!"
"Shouldn't a native like me introduce the local customs and practices to you, a visitor from another World? If you don't want to, then forget it!" Xiao Yan slammed the Book shut, the two of them had already walked in front of the City at this time, the huge City Gate stood tall in front of them, the flow of people gradually stopped here.
Xiao Yan jumped up and took a look, and then he realized the reason, "Someone is charging fees at the City Gate, it seems to be the Guards."
"Then let's take the less crowded Road on the side!" Fang Bie pulled him and walked towards a Small Door on the side, and only realized why when they got closer.
This Small Door is specifically for charging pedestrians, but pedestrians walking through the main Door are not charged, only carts and horses are fully charged, so most people crowded at the main Doorway waiting to move forward slowly, only a few people who are truly short on Time would hurry through the Small Door.
"Didn't expect this City Lord to still be a Genius at business, Penguin would definitely like it!" Fang Bie complained.
"Don't mention it, you mention Penguin and my heart aches, before transmigrating, I still had 500 Q Coins on my account that I hadn't spent!" A pained Expression appeared on Xiao Yan's Face, handed two Gold Coins to the Guard's hand, and prepared to pass.
The Guard blocked him with the Spear in his hand, "Two Gold Coins per Person!"
"Goodness gracious, in Wutan City we only charged 50 Silver Coins, how did it suddenly increase four times here?" Xiao Yan exclaimed, but still took out another two Gold Coins and handed them to the Guard.
Fang Bie shrugged his shoulders, "When you come to a Place, you have to abide by the rules of that Place, don't tell me you were thinking of entering the City by force?"
"I'm just exclaiming, I really don't care about this little Money, it's just that I feel the inflation is a bit high." Xiao Yan didn't stop his Footsteps either, only the two of them were passing through this Door at the moment, they quickly passed through the bustling crowd and arrived inside the City.
Walking into the City, the clamor of voices, the bustling crowd, the dense and scattered Sunlight, and the noisy and varied Sounds all poured into their ears, but the two teenagers had no reaction.
Perhaps for ordinary country People, a city with so many People is still very impactful.
But both of them were experiencers of the largest collective human migration in history and the Grand Gathering with the largest number of People in the World, of course, the above two things are generally referred to as Spring Festival travel season and National Day in short.
The two of them quickly avoided the crowd and walked to the Place that Yao Lao had mentioned in his letter before, the Alchemist Guild of this city.
A team of City Guards walked past them, the public security of this city is indeed better than imagined, and the huge Medicine Cauldron in front of them also particularly caught the attention of the two of them.
"If you tell me that such a big cauldron is for Alchemy, I will definitely smear it all over your Face." Fang Bie averted his Eyes.
Xiao Yan didn't respond to his words, his Attention was obviously elsewhere, "These people are really rich, using Sandalwood to make Door frames."
He just stood carelessly at the Doorway like this, his Sound suddenly amplified, "Master! We're here!!"
An explosive booming Sound made the teenager next to him almost unable to stand.
