"If you want to enter the city, you must pay ten silver coins first!"
"Is it too expensive? If it's too expensive, don't go into the city! Just wait until the bandits from Heifeng Village kidnap you for mining!"
In front of a somewhat dilapidated city gate, several guards shouted impatiently and stared directly at the money bags of the mountain people in front of them, showing their greed.
There were about 10 or 20 mountain people outside the city gate, all of them were sallow and thin. They looked at the guards wearing leather armor with fear in their eyes and kept bending down to apologize.
"Sir, please take pity on us. We are also citizens of the empire. We really can't stay outside the city. The bandits in Black Wind Village will throw us to the monsters as food... Please show mercy. Ten silver coins are enough." I can’t give it…”
The walls of this city are made of dirt and are not very tall. Some of the walls have even collapsed and are no longer able to resist foreign enemies, but they can also give these mountain people a sense of security.
"Asshole!" The leader of the guard glared and interrupted the mountain people. "We brothers guard the city wall for you and face the risk of being massacred by bandits. Why are you so heartless!"
Seeing the guards getting angry, all the mountain people were frightened. They clutched their money bags tightly in their arms, fearing that they would be robbed.
They are all ordinary people. For them, one silver coin is half a month's living guarantee. They have worked hard outside the city for more than ten years and only saved a dozen silver coins. If the situation outside the city was not so severe, the surrounding villages would They were all slaughtered and they did not want to enter the city.
After all, everything in the city is expensive and they can't afford it.
"Stop talking nonsense. After paying the entrance fee, at least your safety will not be a problem!" The guard smiled grimly and reached out to snatch the mountain man's wallet.
laugh--
At this moment, a harsh sonic boom suddenly came from the distance, causing the guard's outstretched hand to shake suddenly, his face instantly became panicked, and he ran towards the city.
"Run! The bandits from Black Wind Village are about to attack the city!"
As soon as his words came out, all the guards and the mountain people panicked and hurriedly followed him into the city. With a final "bang", the dilapidated city gate closed, stirring up some dust.
Not long after the city gate closed, a black shadow suddenly came from a distance, easily jumped over the broken city wall, and disappeared into the city in a flash.
…
"This is the most accurate and wide-ranging map in the city. I got thirty copper coins..."
In a shop, Ye Yun bought a map. Han Yue and the old woman used a space magic scroll to transfer them here, but they did not tell Ye Yun where this place was.
And because he noticed that the old woman seemed to be interested in exploring him, Ye Yun didn't ask any more questions at that time.
After looking around on the street, Ye Yun walked into a nearby restaurant, asked for a table of food and a bottle of wine, and started to feast.
After walking out of the wasteland, Ye Yun walked on the mountain road for several days. There were still wild animals to eat in the wasteland, but on the mountain road, everything he passed was in ruins and there was no human habitation. Even though he had cultivated to the foundation building realm, I still feel hungry.
While eating food, Ye Yun was also listening to the conversations of the diners around him. He didn't know if Guangwu Academy wanted him... Tina knew some of his identity. Did this woman tell Guangwu Academy...
If Guangwu Academy knew that, Gu Yiyi and the others in the Tianlan Empire would be in danger.
"Bang!"
Before I heard anything, some noises suddenly came from the second floor of the restaurant, and then there was an extremely arrogant voice:
"Check out? You dare to charge me money? I'm so impatient! Get out!!"
Ye Yun raised his head and saw the restaurant owner crawling downstairs with blood on his head. Behind him, a man in iron armor was burping from wine and looking at the restaurant owner with disdain.
"Do you think having a nephew serving in the City Lord's Mansion is very prestigious? Let me tell you, your nephew was summoned to the Eternal Wasteland, and now I'm afraid he has turned into a skeleton. Hahaha, it's your honor to have dinner with you. , Dare you ask me for money? Bah!"
After that, a mouthful of thick phlegm was spat on the face of the restaurant owner. The two men's fierce looks made him dare not even wipe it.
As soon as these two people appeared, the diners who were chatting quietly fell silent, and then they hurriedly paid their bills and left, as if they were avoiding the plague. In a moment, Ye Yun was the only one left in the huge dining room.
Then Ye Yun's position suddenly became conspicuous.
"Huh? He's new to the city, he looks well dressed."
The armored man noticed Ye Yun, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the latter's clothes.
In this barren little town, it was quite good to have clothes to cover the body, but Ye Yun's unusually ordinary black robe seemed more expensive.
Ye Yun enjoyed the meal slowly and did not pay attention to the man's wanton gaze. However, his calm and calm look angered the latter: "You little beast is so brave!"
"Qiang!"
The man in armor suddenly drew out his broadsword, and the tip of the blade reached Ye Yun. A faint fighting spirit flowed on the blade, and wisps of bloody evil emerged from the blade.
This scene scared the restaurant owner so much that he turned pale and hurriedly ran out of the restaurant.
"Huh?" Ye Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the sharp knife. The quality of this knife was actually not low.
This city is not even comparable to Sunlight City, and the armored man in front of him is just a fighter, but the material of this knife is a kind of fine gold. You must know that the Lan family did not have weapons of this quality at the beginning.
Moreover, the blood evil energy contained in this knife can already affect people's minds, and even Ye Yun is a little interested.
"Now you know you are afraid! Hand over your money quickly, or I will chop off your dog's head with a knife!"
The armored man laughed, his eyes shining with excitement.
There are very few cultivators in this city, and he has a very high status as a fighter. The residents in the city fear him like tigers and wolves and dare not disobey him.
"What a stinky mouth!" Ye Yun frowned, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and a soul chain shot out, directly penetrating the armored man's eyebrows, destroying his spiritual origin.
"A wasteland of bones with millions of corpses? A large amount of fine gold has appeared in the mines that dried up a hundred years ago?" Ye Yun searched for a lot of information in the memory of the armored man.
"The City Lord's Mansion and the people from Black Wind Village joined forces to capture residents and go mining in the Bone Wasteland... The blood-evil aura in the mineral veins affects people's spiritual origins..."
Ye Yun's eyes lit up slightly. This city was within the territory of the Western Yuan Empire. There was a mineral vein to the north. A hundred years ago, after the mineral vein dried up, a beast wave occurred. Countless people died in the wasteland. Recently, the city lord's palace here discovered that the exhausted mineral vein had The resuscitation produced a kind of blood mineral.
"It seems that the blood of living creatures has re-irrigated this mine... It is impossible to say that blood evil gold was bred in it!"
