Volume Fourteen, Chapter Nine [Going to the King City]
Volume 16, Chapter 9 [Going to the Royal City]
Fire Phoenix City seemed to undergo a major change overnight. Franco, Colo and others were relegated to distant places, while Aurora and others were spared. Aurora strictly speaking remained relatively independent and did not belong to Colo's clan. In addition,
He was Ha Na's mentor, so naturally he was not implicated.
The news reached Huocan Village. After hearing this, the village chief Mo Cha locked himself in his room and remained silent for a day and night, making the whole village worried about him.
After coming out the next day, Mo Cha issued an order that no one was allowed to criticize He Na in the future, and violators would be driven out of the village.
Although the villagers didn't know the reason, no one dared to disobey the village chief when they saw him being so strict. Although some women were not happy, they still knew the severity.
On the other side, after Franco and Colo, who were relegated to a cold and cold place in the far north, settled in, everyone was in extremely low mood, including Colo.
"Master, I really like Hana, why did I suffer such bad luck?" Franco, who was under twenty years old, asked reluctantly when he and Kolo were drinking together.
Ke Luo sighed, took a big sip of wine, and said, "You still don't understand?"
"I understand, I offended Wang Wei just because I really fell in love with a woman. Is it wrong?" Franco asked sadly and indignantly.
"You still don't understand..." Kolo said bitterly. Franco threw the wine glass in his hand angrily and out of the window. The cold wind howled outside like a wild beast.
Khloe picked up Franco by the collar and yelled at him: "Idiot, there is nothing wrong with wanting a woman, and there is nothing wrong with falling in love with a woman, but you shouldn't fall in love with his woman, how can you offend him?
There are rules in this world. If you exceed the rules, you will be punished. With my help, you should have become a great lord step by step, but you ruined your future. Put away your lies,
You are still too young in front of me. Do you think that if you really like that woman, that woman will really like you? You are wrong. A wise city lord must not be swayed by feelings and women, and even give up when necessary. You
I’m so disappointed.”
Pushing Franco to the ground, Colo angrily walked out of this shabby city lord's mansion. This place was not even as good as Fire Silkworm Village, which made Colo feel terrible.
Franco punched the hard ground and screamed in pain. Then he raised his head and roared unwillingly: "Wang Wei... you are such a wolf-hearted person... one day... one day I will..."
..."
A gust of cold wind broke through the shackles of the window and enveloped Franco, making him shiver with cold and so frightened that he couldn't even finish the harsh words he said later.
At the same time, Wang Rui and He Na, who were riding a medium-sized lizard and even had a tent set up on it, headed north along the Emerald City and simply set out on the road.
The destination of their trip was Skyfire City, the royal city of the Fire Phoenix Dynasty. It was thousands of miles away from the Emerald City. According to the lizard's speed, it would take nearly a month.
The two of them carried enough food and fresh water and set off. The tent they used was the invisible tent in Wang Rui's storage bag. The space on the lizard's back was very spacious, enough for it.
Anyway, the two of them didn't have any special requirements, and they weren't in a hurry, so they just treated it like a sightseeing trip. Ha Na was particularly happy.
After that night, He Na and Wang Rui's relationship became deeper. Wang Rui also truly accepted her from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he also told her some of his true situation, especially the Taoist companion he was looking for - Chen
Qi.
He Na was a conscientious woman and showed no hostility towards the outstanding women Wang Rui told her, which made Wang Rui love her even more.
Especially after learning about Chen Qi's theory of reincarnation, she became more sympathetic to Chen Qi and hoped to help Wang Rui find her reincarnation.
At this time, winter has entered in South Vietnam, and the originally hot climate has begun to turn cold quickly. Due to the sparse vegetation, the winter appears to be colder and drier.
In order to make He Na's stay more comfortable, Wang Rui specially set up two improved miniature formations. One is the water-based "Water Mist Formation". As long as a small cup of water is placed near the formation's eye every day, the lizard can be
Within meters, bursts of water mist appeared, making the air much humid.
The other is the fire-type "Warming Flame Formation", which can release constant heat and can also warm the surrounding air, insulating the biting cold. Therefore, Ha Na often prefers to stay on the back of a lizard, even if it is
As a female swordsman and combat cultivator, she still prefers to stay in a comfortable environment.
Wang Rui concentrated on studying alchemy while sitting cross-legged on the back of the lizard. He began to make preliminary attempts and has already achieved some results.
As a long-distance mount, a lizard is much easier to serve than a horse. As long as Ha Na feeds the lizard once a day, it can run for a whole day at a moderate pace. It is very simple. Moreover, the lizard has a very docile temperament and basically does not need to be comforted.
However, there is also a disadvantage, that is, when the lizard excretes, the smell is a bit strong, and the amount is a bit large, so whenever the lizard wants to excrete, Wang Rui will set up another magic circle - the purification magic circle, so that the debris after the lizard excretes can be directly absorbed
The earth swallows and absorbs it, and then the odor is purified. This process takes about an hour each time.
Therefore, at this hour, both of them would stroll around.
They don't stay in the city, they always go out through the city. The two prefer this kind of freedom of wandering around the world.
I walked like this for more than half a month, getting closer and closer to Skyfire City. There were more and more checkpoints on the road, and the guards' questioning became more and more strict. Fortunately, Wang Rui's identity certificate was relatively advanced, and it was issued by the third-level main city.
The certificate was signed by the Lord of the Emerald City himself, so he could be regarded as a high-ranking official. The guards did not dare to question them too much. They just thought that these two people were a little strange. They were obviously of good status and did not seem to be short of money. Why were they still like this?
Shabby, just an old low-level lizard, but maybe this is a common problem among nobles, pursuing a simple lifestyle.
Nearly ten days later, Wang Rui and He Na arrived at the last stop before Skyfire City, a third-level main city - "Yingbin City".
Judging from the name, this city is prepared for guests entering the Sky Fire City. Here, they can wash away their dust and refresh themselves before entering the Sky Fire City.
Wang Rui and He Na decided not to camp in the wild tonight and stay in the Yingbin City to rest for the night.
It has complete facilities and rich resources. Although it is a third-level main city like the Emerald City, its specifications are much higher. It is worthy of being the main city at the foot of the Royal City.
After washing up, the two of them went to the inn hall to dine and ordered a table of sumptuous dishes, which were nothing more than a piece of low-grade spiritual stone.
This inn does not entertain mortals, only monks, so it appears to be much cleaner.
He Na relaxed her appetite at this moment and concentrated on the food on the table. Wang Rui ate very elegantly, eating a little of each food. After a while, he put down his knife and fork, picked up a cup of tea, and drank while paying attention to his surroundings.
Conversations with other monks.
At this moment, his Nascent Soul stage spiritual consciousness slowly unfolded, and he immediately took in all the movements in the hall one by one in his eyes and ears.
"Have you heard, brother?"
"What's wrong? Is there any recent news from the royal city?"
"Of course, the royal city is always full of excitement. I heard that Princess Beiyan is coming back recently and is about to cause a storm."
"Princess Beiyan? She...isn't she guarding Northern Xinjiang? I heard that there is a king-level monster there."
"Yes, but as far as I know, that king-level monster was killed by her and her companion spirit beast."
"What? It's scary... It's really scary... This woman has a noble bloodline, inheriting a trace of the ancient blood of her barbarian ancestors. Later, she accidentally passed by the Fire Phoenix City and discovered the Fire Phoenix egg. From then on, she got a baby that was said to be powerful.
It has grown into an imperial-level spiritual beast. Thanks to her in these years, the army of monster beasts in Northern Xinjiang has never been able to break through the defense line. Princess Beiyan deserves the most credit."
"Isn't that right? So this time, her return with great momentum will definitely cause a shock in Skyfire City, because there seems to be rumors that the emperor intends to list her as one of the heirs."
"This...does our Fire Phoenix Dynasty really want to give birth to a female emperor?"
"Who knows... But the emperor is indeed too old. A thousand years old is already the limit for us barbarian monks. Damn it, our Nanyue Continent is far less advantageous than Dongxuan Continent's climate and lacks spiritual energy. Otherwise, why would our longevity be so good?"
So short."
"Oh, there's no need to envy them. I heard from people that the three major immortal alliances in Dongxuanzhou and an organization called the Shadow Society were killing each other so hard that the earth was shaken, blood flowed like rivers, and hundreds of thousands of monks were killed or injured. We monks are going to
If we go over there, we are just cannon fodder. The competition there is too fierce, so here is more suitable for us."
"That's right, I don't have this blessing, and I don't want to bear that misfortune."
"By the way, Princess Beiyan seems to be of marriageable age. Could it be that she wants to choose a husband when she comes back this time?"
"It seems possible, but I don't know who can conquer the heart of this princess. After all, she is the most gifted daughter of my Fire Phoenix Dynasty."
"I really want to see Princess Beiyan's beauty. I heard she is a first-rate beauty."
"That's right, Princess Beiyan is the dream girl in the heart of the man from the Fire Phoenix Dynasty."
"Hahaha……"
After that, these people talked about some of the customs of the royal city, some of the scandals of the princes and nobles, some of the mysterious and glamorous unsolved cases, etc., but the news about Princess Beiyan that impressed Wang Rui most deeply and kept in his heart was naturally the news about Princess Beiyan.
After eating, Ha Na took his arm, and the two decided to go for a walk on the street. There were still two hours before the curfew, so there was plenty of time.
The streets of Yingbin City are much more lively and prosperous than the Emerald City. The number of monks and mortals probably exceeds hundreds of thousands, which is comparable to Seibu City.
He Na kept shopping and eating along the street with bright eyes, and soon bought a lot. Fortunately, both of them were monks, and He Na even had a medium-sized storage bag given to her by Wang Rui, which was enough to hold her.
something.
After walking about a few hundred meters, suddenly the crowds on the street in front of them moved to both sides, and the city's elite guards were responsible for clearing the way, warning the mortals and monks on both sides not to block the way. It seemed that some important person was passing by.
