Chapter 001 Wind and Fire Town
Chapter 001 Fenghuo Town ()
When Fat stepped into Fenghuo Town for the first time, the scorching sun had risen to the top of his head. He sorted out the black magic robe that was torn by the thorns of branches and thorns, and looked at this very famous town on the Yalan continent with some nervousness. He rubbed for a while but didn't dare to go in.
Seeing all kinds of people wandering around Fenghuo Town, Fat was nervous and didn't dare to go in.
"I am a noble magician. The Magic Guild officially passed the assessment of the noble Fat Magician, and he actually fell into this field!"
Fat's eyes were a little wet.
Baron Hank, a lowly nobleman in Florida, the western border of the Lance Empire, had just passed the assessment in the Magic Guild three years ago, and Baron Hank gave him an olive branch. Fate was very smart. He naturally knew how far he could go in the field of magic. Instead of slowly being looked down upon or even abandoned by an Earl Marquis, he might as well follow a lower-level baron, at least his status would not be affected.
As he expected, Baron Hank didn't expect that his mind would get hot for a moment, and he actually hired a young magic entourage. Hank was even more timid than his son, and he wanted to take out all his things to share with him. However, the noble Baron soon regretted it. The noble magician in his eyes had no progress in the field of magic for three years and was still hovering at the beginning.
Baron Hank, who was full of blood, was furious on the spot. He did not want to execute a magician who passed the Magic Guild's assessment, but he had the power to expel his entourage. In this way, Fat lifted his pants in shame and was driven out of the Baron's mansion overnight.
As the first magician to be expelled on the continent and was expelled by a low-level baron, Fat had no face to stay in the Lance Empire, so he wanted to come to Fenghuo Town to try his luck.
The unique geographical location of Fenghuo Town has created its particularity. To the north is an endless desert, with strong winds blowing sandstorms all year round. The desert is home to the infamous Giant Geluweng and the dwarf with strange tempers. No matter whether one of these two races is, compared to humans, it is definitely not a friendly and hospitable type. This can be seen from the skull utensils used by Geluweng Giant Geluweng to drink water.
To the south is the boundless Lost Moon Mountains. From the edge to the center, there are many monsters hidden, which are extremely dangerous. Even the Golden Lion Knights of the Baolong Empire, which is known as the strongest corps of the Yalan Continent, dare not say that they can go deep into the Lost Moon Mountains. On the east and west sides of Fenghuo Town, the most powerful Baolong Empire and the Lance Empire in the Yalan Continent stand left and right, holding this small town in the wilderness firmly in the middle.
From the edge of the desert to the middle of the Luoyue Mountains, it is called the Fenghuo Plain. Fenghuo Town is the only place of human settlement on this plain of some scale. Luoyue Mountains are rich in monsters, and there are many gold mines in the desert. These two are enough to attract human adventurers to come to Fenghuo Town one after another. In addition, there are also large and small abnormal human indigenous tribes everywhere. These indigenous people who refuse to evolve still live a primitive life of eating raw meat and drinking blood. They stubbornly believe that this will bring them greater strength.
It is such a unique geographical location that makes Fenghuo Town wander between the forces of the two empires, but is not under the jurisdiction of either party. In addition, the two empires have not started war for hundreds of years, Fenghuo Town, which has been the first to be blasted, has developed into a larger town.
Thieves, mercenaries, wanted criminals, adventurers, civilians, and merchants gathered in this small Fenghuo Town. Without legal constraints and without the jurisdiction of officers and soldiers, Fenghuo Town has become the most complex area in the Yalan Continent.
The two empires have always turned a blind eye to this place, largely because Fenghuo Town is a trading hub connecting the Baolong Empire and the Lance Empire. The thousands of miles of wasteland stretched out, even the merchant groups that were well prepared had to rest in this town and supplement the supplies they needed. The people living in Fenghuo Town obviously understand this, so they dare not think about the large merchant groups that were previously affiliated with the superiors.
The unlucky thing is that most of the small business groups will be robbed. The beggars who wander around Fenghuo Town with disheveled clothes and even naked clothes are basically these unlucky merchants.
However, driven by interests, these small merchant groups continued to continue. In addition, the adventure team hunting monsters caused the prosperity of Fenghuo Town and the prosperity of the business of several major mercenary groups and trade unions in the town.
Of course, the living conditions here are far from comparable to those of cities of higher scale, so most of the people living here are forced to do so, so naturally not many strong people are willing to stay in such a small place.
After standing outside the town for a long time, Fat was so hungry that he was a little dizzy, and finally couldn't help but walk in.
"court death."
Fat had just entered Fenghuo Town along the avenue where three carriages could drive side by side. A angrily shout came from the side of the road, which scared him so much that he was shocked and hurriedly followed the sound.
A tall man with a big waist and thick waist on the roadside was full of anger, holding a woman with thick makeup. He cursed at a thin man with squint eyes towards the side. A cold light flashed in his hand. The thin man's arms separated from his shoulders and fell to the ground with a scream.
"Where did you come from? I'm tired of living, I dare to steal grandpa's wallet." The big man put away his knife and grinned. The woman in his arms drew circles on his chest and laughed. The powder on his face rustled down, and his eyes were full of excitement.
The big man put away his knife, looked at the street majestic for a few glances, spitted out a mouthful, hugged the woman and entered the tavern beside him.
Seeing the thief crawling on the ground and moaning, blood gushing out of his wounds, Fat felt a little sympathetic. While he was hesitating whether to go over and take a look, a group of beggars squatting against the wall on the side of the road rushed over and surrounded the thief. In a blink of an eye, they ran back to the base of the wall, basking in the sun lazily.
The thief was lying in place, without any strands on his body, and the beggars didn't even leave him close-fitting shorts.
Fat shivered, how dare he meddled with other people's business? He lowered his head and walked forward.
The bustling crowds were mostly not very good-looking, and they were full of evil spirits. There were all kinds of shops on both sides of the road, irons selling medicine, taverns and brothels, mercenary unions of all sizes, and there were stalls on the side of the road, selling monster skins and bones, Dali Huichun Pills, magical secret fragrance pills, etc., which should be found in other cities, and it is not bad here, even more complete.
When Fat leaned over and walked past the door of a small mercenary union, he saw a notice hanging at the door - offering a reward of two gold coins, breaking a leg on the hill in West Street.
There were many people passing by the door of the Mercenary Union, but no one looked at the notice. Fat originally wanted to ask about the details, but after thinking about it for a long time, he sighed and walked away.
If these two gold coins were easy to make, they would not have been hung for so long, and the notices were yellowed.
The smell of wine and food came from all over the town. Fat was so hungry that he touched his shriveled pockets, and walked back and forth along the central street of Fenghuo Town for seven or eight times, without any idea.
"Eat a king meal?"
Fat had this idea in his mind and immediately gave up.
After seven or eight trips, he saw two group fights, three single fights and a murder incident. Among them, there were several warriors with different ranks, and even an intermediate magician. Looking at the speed and power of others casting magic, he did not dare to make trouble here with the courage of Fat.
Walking to the edge of the town in a daze, Fat saw a group of children squatting under a giant tree on the side of the road, and leaning over unconsciously.
"When Risa saw the alien chasing over, she was so scared that she ran away along the passage formed by the skeleton of a huge monster skeleton. The alien chasm was chasing behind. At this time, a bottomless abyss suddenly appeared in front of her. Risa had no way to escape and hurriedly drilled into a huge iron weapon on the edge of the cliff. The iron weapon was so big, with tens of thousands of pounds. At this time, the alien also chased after him. It bit Risa with its mouth and iron tail, but unfortunately it couldn't reach it. At this time, the alien was crazy and stretched out its strong front paws to push the iron weapon that blocked it. The alien was so powerful that it was about to push down the huge iron weapon in a few seconds, and Risa was about to be finished."
"Huh"
The children opened their eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise, their timid faces turned pale.
Fat looked over curiously and saw a boy about thirteen or fourteen sitting in the middle. He was very pretty and his eyes were particularly agile. At this time, his face was unfathomable and he was telling a story.
"At this time, the iron-blooded warrior appeared. He jumped up more than ten meters high, turned around neatly in the air, and the spear in his hand violently pierced the alien's head. The alien screamed in pain and jumped to the side, and Lisa finally escaped from danger."
"Long live the iron-blooded warrior!"
The dozen or so children who were listening to the story beside him cheered and their faces were filled with joy.
"Don't be too happy too early." The young man with dark hair and black eyes looked mysterious, and then said, "How could the alien die so easily? It used its claws to cut off the spear on its head, and struggled to rush over again. Lisa's intelligence played a role at this time. She saw that the huge iron weapon was creaking and about to fall into the abyss. With a flash of inspiration, she put the thick iron chain on the alien's body on the iron weapon. She had no strength and could not pull the alien. At this time, the Iron Blood Warrior also understood what she meant and hurriedly came up to help. The two of them worked together to finally tie the iron chain to the iron weapon. The huge iron weapon was about to pull the alien to the abyss, and Lisa felt relieved. Suddenly, she saw the alien's sharp tailbone stabbing out of the Iron Blood Warrior's chest."
"Ah" the children who listened to the story exclaimed.
The story-telling boy continued: "The alien pierced the Iron-Blooded Warrior but he didn't give up. He opened his bloody mouth and came to the front of the Iron-Blooded Warrior's head. He also wanted to pierce the Iron-Blooded Warrior's head with his powerful tongue. Risa was shocked and anxious, and grabbed the shovel and pried it to the pillar connecting the iron. Before the alien's tongue could be stabbed out, he was pulled out of the abyss by the huge iron weapon that had lost the pillar. When Risa went to see the Iron-Blooded Warrior, he died before he could say anything."
"How come the Iron Blood Warrior can't hide? He knows magic?"
"Yes, he still has many powerful weapons, all of which have killed so many aliens, why did he die in the end?"
"Idiot, haven't you heard Brother Shan say that this is not an ordinary alien, this is the queen."
"What a pity, the Iron Blooded Warrior is dead."
A group of children were both excited and regretful, and they were debated fiercely.
"Xiaoshan, I won't come back to do things."
A thunderous sound came from the roadside restaurant, and then a woman with a size comparable to a violent bear came out and scolded, "A group of little bastards, haven't you gone home yet."
The kids were obviously afraid of this fat woman and dispersed with a buzz.
The story-telling boy then stood up, looked at Fat curiously, and asked, "Why haven't I seen you before? Are you new?"
Fat was still thinking about what monster he said about the "Alien" belongs to, and what the magical "Iron Blood Warrior" is. When he heard the boy ask him, he didn't dare to neglect him, and cheered up and said, "Yes, I just came to Fenghuo Town, you can call my noble magician Mr. Fat."
"Magic?" The young man raised his eyebrows, looked at Fat with a few glances, and smiled, "I don't see the nobleness."
There is no kind person in Fenghuo Town. Even if the other party is just a child, Fat felt unhappy, but he did not dare to get angry. He had to laugh awkwardly, shrank his neck and wanted to walk away.
"Come with me, Mr. Magician, I will treat you to a meal and ask you some questions by the way."
Upon hearing this, Fat immediately became energetic and turned around and walked towards the tavern that exuded a strong fragrance.
