It is often difficult to feel tired while walking among the intoxicating scenery, and that is exactly what happened to everyone at this moment.
It seemed that not long after, a giant tree fortress covered by ivy flowers appeared in front of everyone. It was the level that the old man had mentioned before.
A group of Morning Star Empire soldiers wearing exquisite armor and holding various weapons were standing in front of the checkpoint, coldly watching the people who were slowly walking towards them.
The military architecture that should be full of iron-blooded style is now a little less cold and cruel because of the decoration of these beautiful flowers and plants.
The old man walked at the front, bowed to the soldiers in front of the checkpoint, and at the same time took out an emerald green wooden sign, which was a token used to prove his identity.
It is definitely very difficult for foreigners to do business in the Morning Star Empire. Not only do they have to be jointly recommended by a sufficient number of citizens of the Morning Star Empire, but they also need to go through careful review and all conditions will be met before they can be approved by the Border City.
The city lord issued the certificate.
Therefore, this seemingly ordinary token actually has a very high value in the outside world, and is coveted by countless people.
Although the old man is dressed in ordinary clothes, he actually owns a wealthy family. He retired at home many years ago, and his son is in charge of his family's chamber of commerce.
The reason he was able to take the initiative this time was because Shenglong City protected his property and avoided losses, and the price was to let him lead Yue Qianhua and others into the Morning Star Empire.
There are many merchants like the old man, and they all chose to surrender to Shenglong City, thereby preserving their family business.
Tang Zhen really wanted to bring the entire continent into his hands, but he did not necessarily require everyone to become Loucheng residents. He just wanted to add a special war machine like Loucheng to the original social system.
Therefore, businessmen like the old man naturally have the need to reserve.
The Morning Star Empire officer, who was wearing a silver hollow battle armor with colorful metal embellishments in some areas, smiled, looked at the token carefully, and then handed it back to the old man.
"Old John, you haven't been here for a long time. How are you doing now?"
The checkpoint commander obviously knew the old man. After the two chatted for a few words, they turned their attention to Yue Qianhua and others.
Just now, he was observing these men and women wearing cloaks, with a solemn look in his eyes, because he found that the auras of these people were extremely fierce, and they were obviously strong men who had survived hundreds of battles.
If they were to fight each other, they might not be opponents at all!
It was precisely for this reason that he was always wary of Yue Qianhua and others, and was even ready to fight.
Although this is the territory of the Morning Star Empire, and there are large armies stationed dozens of miles away, if these people really have evil intentions, it will be enough to cause considerable losses.
"Old John, who are they?"
The checkpoint officer pointed at Yue Qianhua and others and asked in a very serious tone, his eyes looking very sharp.
The old man did not hide anything and said to the checkpoint officer: "They are representatives from Holy Dragon City. They hope to meet the Lord of the City. They must have something very important."
When the checkpoint officer heard this, his pupils shrank slightly. Apparently he also knew some news about Holy Dragon City.
Now that smoke is everywhere on the mainland, Holy Dragon City is the source of this turmoil. Now that they have sent people to the Morning Star Empire, what are their intentions?
Although he was full of doubts, he was not qualified to participate in this matter at all, so after checking the goods and confirming that there were no problems, the checkpoint officer announced the release.
After passing through a checkpoint built by a giant tree, everyone came to a wide flat land.
The grass here is green, perhaps because of deliberate cleaning, so that there is no debris on the ground, just like a soft carpet.
This is a place where pass soldiers live and train. On weekdays, residents of the Morning Star Empire also trade here. Although the scale is not very large, the products displayed are full of regional characteristics.
Yue Qianhua and others had important matters to attend to, so they just glanced at them as they passed by the roadside, and then continued walking along the road.
There are all kinds of strange animals constantly appearing along the way. They always like to squat under the grass and big trees on the roadside, watching people go forward stupidly, as if they have long been accustomed to this situation.
Because of the presence of Yue Qianhua and others, the checkpoint commander specially sent a team of elite soldiers to escort them all the way.
Although they are called escorts, the real purpose is surveillance. After all, these monks from Holy Dragon City are masters at first glance, and the checkpoint commander does not dare to take them lightly.
Even if these soldiers are not opponents, they are enough to sound an alarm when an unexpected event occurs, allowing them to prepare in advance.
At the same time, the news about the arrival of the Holy Dragon City envoy has also been sent to the city lord's palace. As for how to deal with the next matter, you need to understand the true purpose of Holy Dragon City first.
Compared with the maple leaf trail, the road leading to the border city is much wider. From time to time, you can see flower beds made of rocks and ancient sculptures hidden among the flowers and trees.
Seeing these scenes, the smile in Yue Qianhua's eyes became more and more obvious. Apparently, through some subtle things, she had gradually verified her guess.
The race that established the Morning Star Empire is obviously closely related to the elves!
As for why they appeared here, it is actually nothing very unusual. You must know that although this continent belongs to the unclaimed land and its location cannot be determined, it still belongs to the world of Loucheng, but there is still no war zone to contain it.
That's all.
In the long past, it is entirely possible for the elves to enter this land to live and multiply, and to establish a country belonging to them.
As long as this is confirmed, Yue Qianhua will be sure to recruit a group of followers and build a city belonging to the elves.
The short-horned deer has a strong load-bearing capacity, but its speed is a bit slow. However, driven by the accompanying Morning Star Empire mage, its speed is more than twice as fast.
This is obviously a spell that has nothing to do with the monk's skills. It can carry out simple communication with animals and plants. In this dense tree environment, the combat effectiveness of the monks of the Morning Star Empire can be doubled.
After walking for about half a day, a huge city built on the cliff beside the lake appeared in front of everyone. The emerald green lake was like a flawless gem. A tall and slender bridge was erected on the lake, extending into the city on the other end.
.
The soldiers of the Morning Star Empire were already used to seeing such scenery, so they had no special reaction at all. However, Murong Ziyue was very excited and kept taking pictures, laughing endlessly.
When everyone arrived at the white bridge, they found that there was already a group of peacock-like soldiers wearing white armor and decorated with colorful feathers, standing on both sides of the bridge, as if to welcome distinguished guests.
After seeing this scene, everyone jumped off the short-horned deer and walked towards the bridge.
A tall, well-proportioned, silver-haired man stood at the end of the bridge, wearing a windbreaker-like outfit, smiling and saluting everyone approaching.
"Welcome friends from afar, I am the city lord of the border city, you can call me Thred."
Yue Qianhua stepped forward, responded with the traditional etiquette of the elves, and said with a smile: "Yue Qianhua, the special envoy of the Holy Dragon City, has met the Lord of Thred City, and on behalf of our Lord City Lord Tang Zhen, I would like to say hello to you!"
Seeing Yue Qianhua's actions, the smile on Lord Slade's face became even stronger. He stretched out his hand to make an invitation gesture and walked towards the border city first.
