Seth City is a small city less than a hundred miles away from the imperial capital of the Beishui Empire. Although it does not cover a large area, it is a place that is highly valued by the Beishui royal family. Because it has accumulated a large amount of food, grass and weapons all year round. Although the sparrows here are small, they are all-in-one, and the prosperity of the city is no less than that of some big cities.
There are heavy troops in the city, and there are all kinds of entertainment facilities. Whether you are rich or not, you can always find a suitable place for you here, so every time a caravan and mercenary group passes by, they will stop here. The entertainment industry here is better than that in the imperial capital, and because of the low consumption, many people will come here from the imperial capital.
The Beishui Empire may be the least distinct country among the five empires. It is always at extremely low temperatures all year round. The people here have been accustomed to this climate for tens of millions of years, and have their unique measures to protect against the cold. A cup of warm wine has become a must-have drink for people here for a long time, making the Beishui Empire a country with extremely developed brewing industry.
The place where you can drink in Seth City has become the most popular place. People who come here will definitely find a place to drink. Some nobles will find high-end hotels, while ordinary business trips and mercenaries will find smaller taverns to drink a sip of strong spirits.
But if someone asks which tavern here is the most famous, then someone will definitely tell you that it is the most authentic place to go to Lao Zhao in the south of the city to burn the knife. That's right, it is a unique place for the entire Seth city where you can see nobles and civilians at the same time, just because there is a burn knife that can be remembered for a lifetime with a drink.
Burning tassels were originally just a very ordinary kind of strong wine among the common people, but if someone asked why Lao Zhao was so famous, he had to start with this old Zhao. It is said that he was originally a mercenary who traveled around the world, but he was not an ordinary mercenary. He was a very rare alchemist among mercenaries. Because he was good at wine by nature, he also learned the skill of brewing. Every time he brewed wine, he would add some herbs of different medicinal properties to it, and over time he had a unique flavor.
Later, when Lao Zhao was injured again during the mission, he was tired of licking blood on his knife head all day, so he settled here and left his unique burning knife here. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, this unique burning knife turned him into a well-known generation of winemaking masters, and soon overshadowed his identity as an alchemist. Even the Beishui royal family often came to taste it.
Lao Zhao burned the knife so in a short time, he expanded from the original tavern to a big tavern. Although he could make the scale bigger, Lao Zhao did not do so. He still liked to talk and laugh with the mercenaries. He was afraid that turning the tavern into a hotel would prevent the mercenaries from coming here again, so no matter how big his business was, it would always leave a large hall for the mercenaries to drink and joke.
But in this way, it doesn’t look like a hotel, but it looks like a much bigger tavern. At this time, the hall here is as chaotic as before. Many mercenaries passing by are gathered here, drinking strong burning knives and talking about their experiences along the way.
There is no mercenary union in Seth City, so in the hearts of the mercenaries, it seems that this place has been regarded as a bar for mercenaries. Lao Zhao often appears and invites the mercenaries to drink a bowl for free. Today, the place is also lively, but everyone's topics are unexpectedly unified on the battle between the five empires and the demons.
At this time, there was a mercenary team that had just arrived here from the Western Jin Empire. One of the more talked-about young mercenaries was drinking strong wine while talking about the battle against the Chili Valley that took place in the Western Jin Empire not long ago. It has to be said that the mercenary had indeed very good eloquence, just as if he was on the scene at that time, describing the battles to the fullest.
Especially when he talked about Qi Tianyun, who led the team to raid the Chili Valley, he praised him very much, just like he was Qi Tianyun. Under his eloquence, even other mercenaries felt excited. In a corner that everyone could not pay attention to, a young man was not as excited as others, but at this time there was a faint smile on his face. He didn't forget to drink a sip of strong wine and muttered softly, "Brother, congratulations."
This young man is no other person, Han Xuan, who has been staying in Seth City for three days. You can often hear news about the Xijin Empire in these days. Qi Tianyun has become famous because of this. Now, among the five empires, there are too many younger generations who have regarded him as their idol and target.
From the mouths of others, Han Xuan got a lot of information about the destruction of the Battle of Chire Valley. The most talked about was Qi Tianyun's battle. On the contrary, the more exciting duel between the Saint Demon Saint was not as memorable as him. He only knew that the five major formation talisman masters, including Sima Tu, set up a large formation, throwing the two Demon Saints in Chire Valley away their armor, one dead and one injured.
Han Xuan once reminded Qi Tianyun Chiliu that there is a demon saint with powerful soul power. He should be a famous soul master, who is equivalent to a formation talisman master. However, from the information we have obtained now, it can be seen that Qi Tianyun and the others are quite prepared for this battle. Han Xuan once thought in his mind: "I don't know if that soul master is dead or injured? Has it been captured alive by his elder brother and the others."
But no matter what, Han Xuan can't go back to the Western Jin Empire now, and he can only congratulate Qi Tianyun when he sees him the next day. The reason why Han Xuan stayed here for so many days is not because he is greedy for the things in the cup. Although he has already got the map of the Beishui Empire, he also heard that the Death Ice Sea has not been calm recently, because the five empires have begun to declare war on the remnants of the demon clan, so Beishui is not willing to be outdone and find the whereabouts of the demon clan.
I heard that they had really found the demon clan's nest in the Hanjing Sea Plain a few days ago, and set up a trap, and used huge benefits to earn all the demon clans, and then gathered and wiped them out. However, I didn't expect that the two demon saints in the Hanjing Sea Plain had great cultivation and led the remaining hundreds of demons to break out a bloody path under the siege of the Beishui Empire.
The Beishui Empire sent several teams to chase and kill. The demon saint had no way out and ventured into the Ice Sea of Death with the remaining troops. This trick of burning boats did discourage those who were chasing them and had no courage to chase them. You should know that although the War Saint can survive there, there are more than the War Saint-level strong men in the pursuit team.
Han Xuan has been staying here because of this. In the map he obtained, it can be clearly seen that although the Death Ice Sea has a long coastline in the North Water Empire, there is only one entrance. It is not far from Seth City. Han Xuan guessed that the demons who entered it would not dare to go deeper and would wander around the periphery. If anyone wants to enter it during this period, he will definitely be killed by those demons.
Han Xuan did not dare to enter it easily. Even if the two demon saints could resist it with the dragon scale armor, how long could they last? His dragon breath would still be twice. Han Xuan would not want to use it at will unless it was necessary. After all, this is the guy who saved his life on his body and could only be used at critical moments.
Han Xuan is here just to see if there is more news about the Death Ice Sea, hoping to find a way to safely enter the Death Ice Sea. Originally, Han Xuan could go to the edge of the Death Ice Sea to look for opportunities, but since the demons entered, the entrance has been blocked by the North Water Empire. Now no one dares to go out to sea, so Han Xuan has not found any clues to enter the Death Ice Sea for several days.
