As the team appeared, more people became more and more vigilant. Although he had not done anything bad in Akiel, he ruled out any accidents.
The person in charge was wearing light armor, with a lily of the valley embroidered on his left shoulder, and his face was full of gloomy. He stared at Ike tightly, as if he had seen something.
"This person is an air controller. I took it back for careful investigation. It is an extraordinary period. People of unknown origin must be questioned." He glanced around and returned to Ike. "I would rather catch a hundred wrong people than let someone who threatened the Akiel Empire."
Ike defended himself: "Sir, I am just an ordinary air controller, who is here to travel to Akiel. Besides, if it really poses a threat to Akiel, I wouldn't be enough for me to be an air controller."
The leader's eyes lit up and said, "What do you mean is that you have accomplices?"
In an instant, the person in the leader saw a trace of murderous aura on Ike's honest face. This murderous aura made him sweat from behind. However, this murderous aura was fleeting. To outsiders, Ike seemed as honest as before.
The person in the leader said in his heart: "What a great boy, I almost got scared. It seems that I have to take it back for interrogation. I have so many brothers here, so I don't think he, an air controller, can do anything to me. Hehe, if he wants to calm down, he must..."
"grown ups!"
Just when the sword was tense, someone suddenly spoke in the crowd. Because everyone was fully focused, all their attention was focused on the person who spoke.
Ike also turned his attention to the man, an ordinary-looking old man holding an elderly horse in his hand. After saying that, he led his horse to Ike.
The person in charge seemed to recognize the old man and asked helplessly: "What's the matter?"
"This master of the air control master was invited to our village. Because I went to buy goods before he arrived. This caused a misunderstanding. Please give me a clear explanation!" The old man actually exonerated Ike.
"Didn't you say you're here to travel?" The leader asked Aike unwillingly.
Ike replied wisely: "The first stop is the old man's village. I want to see what the nomadic village of Akir looks like. By the way, I was invited by the village chief to let everyone see the air controller."
The person in the leader felt that it was reasonable after hearing this, but he could not make things difficult for him openly, but he still couldn't let it go. Seeing that there was no excitement, the group of people dispersed.
The old man smiled and said to Ike: "Don't blame them for being indifferent and ruthless, it turns out that's not like this."
"It's indeed different from Akiel I imagined." Eke smiled bitterly, and his eyes looked at the person in charge who was riding a horse. If he were in Odin, he would have to make the man pay the price for his actions just now.
"How do you know I am the village chief?" the old man asked curiously.
"Guess, I think the village chief should be the one who can hire someone for the village." Ike said with a smile, "Thank you for your help."
The old man sighed and said, "Oh! It's just a simple task."
Seeing the old man's heartache, Eke felt very curious. In the past, he had Akiels in his slave nest, and they would talk about their hometown every day. The most important thing was that Akiels were hospitality and were also a nation on the back of a kind-hearted horse.
They are good at riding and shooting, and are generous. However, when Ike arrived at the border city, he did not feel this way at all. On the contrary, he felt more exaggerated indifference than his hometown of Saigon.
The old man said, "This is a border land, with lush grass, and our village is almost settled. In the past, when every country was not so powerful, we Akiels were herding sheep during the day and hunting around the bonfire and sing with meat, drinks and sings. But..."
Seeing that the old man wanted to speak but stopped, Ike asked, "But what?"
"Since Akiel lost five times, the king learned from his mistakes and took some measures. Akiel became a different country. Even if you can still see the endless grassland, you will find that the herders are too lazy to change places and are about to become settled villages. The city is becoming more and more like the Odin Empire, for prosperity and strength."
The old man took the water bag from the horse's back, took a sip, and said, "The king believes that nomads should be preserved, but we also need progress. At least a country needs a city and an imperial capital. Children do not need to herd sheep one by one, but should learn qi like Odin, and work hard to become qi masters."
"I've heard of this reform." Ike interrupted.
"Then... we herders are like people living in cities like two worlds. They begin to need money. They are talking about money all day long, living for money. When we Akiel had no one to use money, no one would starve to death. Then they became as cold as today. Those people just now were not for Akiel's safety."
Ike said helplessly: "I have seen it."
"They just want to make things difficult for you. The air controller usually has to bring money when traveling, especially if you come from Odin, they want to blackmail you." The old man said helplessly, "If you arrive in the imperial capital, if you are not a businessman, you will probably meet someone like **. This trip to the Akiel Empire will be in vain." The old man said helplessly.
"Maybe it's not in vain!" Eke said with a smile, "at least I know there is still a happy land. Village chiefs like you must have simple villages, and I want to go there to see it."
After hearing this, the village chief trembled all over and asked in surprise: "Are you saying true?"
"I'm like I'm going to lie to you?" Ike said with a smile, "and thank you for helping me. Don't the people in your village want to see the air controller."
"Okay... OK!" the village chief said excitedly, "Actually, I want to try my luck. Just meet a Qi Refiner. I didn't expect you to really agree. My grandchildren all like Qi Master very much! Especially the pharmacist Qi Master and Qi Exercise Master, they think it's so amazing!"
"Luckily, I'm all." Ike covered the slightest bit of a cover in front of the kind people.
The reason why I walked with the old man was not only because the old man helped him, but mostly because he reminded Ike of his own village. If it weren't for the war, his village wouldn't have been completely destroyed. Ike felt that the old man was very friendly, so he wanted to go and have a look.
Along the way, the village chief told Aike about interesting things in the village. Some were really funny, and some showed that the people in their village were honest and honest. Some were more annoying, and they also had a kind heart.
Ike's mind began to fantasize how good it would be to eat, drink and have fun with these people tonight. If there is still a paradise, it must be here.
The village chief took Ike all the way out of the border city, and then another grassland. Their village was close to Tianwang Mountain, and because they were too lazy to change, they settled down.
After walking for about an hour, Ike saw Tianwang Mountain, which was so tall that it covered the sky and the sun. A village appeared at the corner of Tianwang Mountain, but the village was burning with raging flames.
