Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 383 Arrival and Questions

Under the guidance of Lin, accompanied by the speed of the road.

A city located among the mountains caught the eyes of Lei Xiao and his party.

At this time, Lei Xiao, who was standing on the top of a mountain, looked down at the city below, and immediately noticed it.

This city with little contact with the outside world, or an independent country, can be described as quite distinctive.

Rows of exquisite stone-wood mixed buildings, either single-storey or multi-storey, are located among the entire green mountains and green waters, as if they are a paradise.

At a glance, it is patchwork, which makes people feel dizzy.

And the surrounding cliffs, which were cut like knives, formed a natural city wall, completely enveloping the whole city.

However, in the narrow gap between the mountains, near Lei Xiao's feet, there is also a towering pass made of stone walls.

I saw above the pass, banners fluttering, and people's figures flocking. Occasionally, a group of merchants and mercenaries could be seen slowly passing by.

"Is that the entrance to the Shanjing Principality?"

Lei Xiao moved his eyes and continued to observe.

At the end of the vast city that is difficult to see at a glance, there is a large and simple castle built on the upper half of the waist.

Observe carefully, there is a winding moat around the castle, and a large number of tall pine trees are scattered beside it.

For a time, under the bright sunshine in the afternoon, the mottled castle, the green pines, and the gurgling river together formed a very refreshing scene.

"It seems that this is the City Lord's Mansion of the Shanjing Principality, or it is more appropriate to call it the Grand Duke's Mansion."

Just when he withdrew his gaze, a few sharp howls came to Lei Xiao's ears.

Following the prestige, at the place where the sky and the mountains meet in the distance, among the clouds and mist, several dark brown flying monsters have already appeared in everyone's sight.

Observing intently, these flying monsters are huge and imposing, with long and sharp beaks, and colorful ridges on their heads, which look very conspicuous.

However, what is more striking is that it is several times larger than the body, and the slender wings formed by the membrane are like a small glider, giving people a sense of deterrence.

"My lord, it really is the sky pterosaur!"

Seeing this, Xiao En and the other pterosaur knights couldn't help showing a touch of surprise on their faces. The excited expression was like seeing a long-lost partner.

Noticing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but recall the content of the chat with Sean and others during the last lunch in the territory.

The reason why these pterosaur knights can control the rebellious and powerful sky pterosaurs is because they were selected by those in power when they were young.

After wearing the accessories with illusion and several camouflage spells, it was directly thrown into the lair of the female sky pterosaur who had just given birth.

Then he ate and lived with the pterosaurs and lived together for nearly a year. It was not until the young sky pterosaurs began to learn to fly that they were brought out again.

After repeating this for several years, after being completely contaminated with the breath of the sky pterosaur and knowing all its habits very well.

These pterosaur knights who grew up with the young pterosaurs have the ability to tame the sky pterosaurs.

Of course, in this process, there are not a few people who are weak and die in various accidents.

In other words, Sean and others who finally successfully transferred to a pterodactyl knight are the few people.

Recalling this point, Lei Xiao smiled lightly when he saw the expectant expressions of Xiao En and the others, and then said: "Okay, then let's split into two groups, ten of you, go directly to tame your new mount, and Others, follow me to the Principality of Shanjing."

After a pause, Lei Xiao added: "If you have anything to do, please contact me in time by reading."

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

Hearing this, Xiao En and other ten third-tier powerhouses immediately bowed down and said.

"By the way, there is one more thing."

Looking at the waists of the ten people, they were all just ordinary second-tier long swords, and with a thought, Lei Xiao distributed a third-tier knight sword to each of them.

On the other side, in addition to being pleasantly surprised, after bowing to Lei Xiao again, Xiao En and other members of the pterodactyl knight team turned into a meteor and disappeared in front of the other subordinates.

"I have already asked about it just now. The plate armor and lances of the ten light-packed men are all in the storage ring I bestowed on Sean earlier."

"In this way, when they appear again, they will be a group of fully armed pterosaur knights."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao said to the knotweed and others beside him: "Okay, it's time for us to go down the mountain, so let's take a good look at what is so special about this deserted mountain country."

That's it, it didn't take long.

Lei Xiao and Lin, who were wearing illusion cloaks, followed a few carriages full of goods, and slowly entered the city as traveling merchants.

The reason why Lei Xiao got involved in the caravan was naturally because he bought off the leading merchant at the price of a dozen golden dragons.

As for the other subordinates such as the knotweed, Ye Cang, and Chao Yan, they still stayed in the invisibility cloak, closely following Lei Xiao.

"On the road just now, I happened to meet this caravan. In order not to attract attention, entering the city like this is undoubtedly the best choice."

At this time, Lei Xiao, who was in the caravan, looked at the sharp-eyed guards beside him, and murmured in his heart: "After all, this city is just like what Kumbu said, and it doesn't exist." Foreign tourists are not particularly welcome, and I still need to show my face to find the businessman friend of Khumbu."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao, who had already stepped into the city, refocused his attention on the surrounding scenery.

On both sides of the street, there are neatly arranged shops and restaurants, and the crowds are very lively. It looks almost the same as an ordinary city.

However, the appearance of these buildings is completely different from the gorgeous and complicated Gothic style of most cities in the Cold Flame Kingdom.

There are no round pointed arch structures and ribbed vaults, but square, straight lines, edges and corners, very simple and unpretentious.

Even the roof is a sturdy and durable triangular structure, coupled with the emerald green trees and lawns next to it, it can be said to have an exotic taste.

"It's quite a unique city."

Lei Xiao looked at the bustling locals around him, and continued to observe.

These passers-by, including men, women and children, were significantly different from the foreign businessmen around Lei Xiao in terms of temperament and clothing.

Not only is she dressed plainly, but even her face reveals a satisfied and happy smile.

"It seems that the residents here live and work in peace and contentment."

Noticing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of contemplation, thinking secretly in his heart.

"Having said that, although the vegetation here is dense, the slope of the land is too high, which is a typical mountainous terrain, and it is not suitable for planting crops at all."

"Also, according to Kumbu and Lin, there is no pillar industry. Even most of the food needs to be transported outside, so it is difficult to be self-sufficient, let alone other daily necessities."

Frowning slightly, Lei Xiao murmured to himself in his heart: "It stands to reason that under such unfavorable conditions, the young people here should yearn for the vast world outside."

"However, Kumbu mentioned before that the young people here rarely go out, but are very content with the status quo."

"Furthermore, it can be clearly seen that most of the city's income has been exchanged for the usual food and daily necessities, and it is difficult for healthy development to continue."

"If that's the case, why doesn't the ruler here move his people to a place with fertile land to live in such a closed mountain?"

"Could it be... just to prevent being swallowed up by Lengyan and Shengye, and this is a last resort?"

Thinking about this, Lei Xiao couldn't help recalling the description of Lin and Kumbu before.

"In addition to many strange and unreasonable things, such as only using golden dragons for settlement, the innkeeper pretended not to know that something strange happened, and so on."

"I have to say, this city in the mountains is really quite mysterious."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, a short and fat businessman walked over with a smile on his face.

He rubbed his hands while pointing at a plaque of a hotel not far away, and flattered Lei Xiao, "Your Excellency, our caravan decided to spend the night there, look..."

"Go ahead and arrange it."

Casually throwing a few golden dragons into the opponent's hand, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "By the way, we are looking for a businessman from the Shanjing Principality named Eya. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

"It turned out to be that fellow Aiya."

Smilingly, he took the golden dragon handed over by Lei Xiao, and the chunky businessman responded immediately: "There is a shop at the corner of the street ahead, called Shuguang Exquisite Trade Fair, and you should be able to find that guy there."

"Dawn Exquisite Trade Fair? It sounds pretty good."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, bid farewell to the short and fat businessman, and walked with Lin to the direction pointed by the other party.

"My lord, if my subordinate remembers correctly, the hotel where my subordinate was staying at that time was exactly the one the businessman pointed out just now."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiao's sassy voice reached Lei Xiao's ears.

"I see."

Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao walked through the crowd and said, "Our primary goal is to go to Eya first, ask for information about the Great Axe General Burt, and inquire about the white jade ore, and then go back to Go back to that inn and see if you can find any other useful clues."

"Follow your orders, my lord."

Hearing this, Lin slightly bowed and said in command.

Walking along the rather lively crowd, it didn't take long before Lei Xiao caught sight of an inconspicuous small shop.

"Is this the Suguang Exquisite Trade Fair?"

Looking up at the mottled plaque with peeling paint above the lintel, Lei Xiao couldn't help curling his lips slightly.

Afterwards, he nodded to Lin beside him, and the knotweed hidden in the dark, and stepped straight into the half-open shop.

After entering it, the first thing that caught Lei Xiao's eyes was a few rows of dilapidated shelves.

There are some old ornaments on it, such as clocks and watches, music boxes, broken bottles and cans, etc. It seems that there is nothing special about it.

"It's really an unexpected place, and it has nothing to do with the name."

Looking at the slightly dark surroundings, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly, took a step, and continued to check.

"Dear guests, welcome to the Shuguang Exquisite Fair!"

At this moment, a sudden clear female voice sounded from behind Lei Xiao.

Surprised, Lei Xiao followed the prestige, and saw that the sound was made by a palm-sized transparent crystal box with a smooth surface, like an ice cube.

Just listening to the sound of the crystal box, it continued: "This is a crystal box made of sound transmission crystals. In a limited space, it can achieve a perfect sound transmission effect. Now it is on sale at a special price. Just A pair of five gold coins!"

"We're here to find Eya."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and looked behind a display cabinet. Through his breath, he had already locked on to an unknown person standing there, whose strength was around Tier [-] and [-] stars.

"The guests are here to see me?"

A petite and slender figure came out from behind the showcase, holding a sound transmission crystal box of the same size in his hand.

"It seems that this crystal box is somewhat similar to a walkie-talkie."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's eyes shifted slightly, and he began to look him up and down.

This is a young woman who looks to be in her early 20s, with neat short ear-length hair wearing a sky blue headband, with a petite figure.

They were even shorter than the two sisters, Nan Xing and Nan Yue, who were the smallest in their subordinate team.

However, his fair face is quite outstanding.

All in all, this person's appearance was obviously beyond Lei Xiao's expectation.

"The strength is not bad... so she is Eya? Before that, whether it was Kumbu or the chunky businessman just now, they were all replaced by "that guy". "

"I thought he should be a middle-aged man with a big belly like Kumbu, but I always feel that this guy seems to have a feeling of deja vu."

Amid some doubts, Lei Xiao couldn't help curling his lips slightly, and then responded: "That's right, it's the president of the Kongqing Town Chamber of Commerce, and Kunbu recommended us to come to you."

"It turned out to be Uncle Kumbu's friend. Not long ago, the transaction of white jade ore made the little girl a small profit."

I saw the petite Eya first gently put down the crystal box in his hand.

Then the lotus steps moved lightly, and came in front of Lei Xiao and Lin, smiled and said: "I don't know what the two are looking for a little girl?"

"Nothing special."

With a faint smile, Lei Xiao seemed to be inadvertent, and then responded: "I just want to ask you about someone."
