Xanadu, my martial soul in Douluo continent

The campfire crackled, meat pieces were skewered on clean bamboo branches, and excess sauce dripped onto the campfire, causing a sizzling sound.

The aroma filled the air, and the male traveler was hungry. At this moment, he quickly took off the barbecue and devoured it while telling his experience.

His name was Ross, and he was from the Belen family. He was a well-known winemaker in the Belen area. In search of winemaking materials, he hired a hunter as a guide to lead him to the barren mountains.

Originally, the investigation was coming to an end, but they suddenly encountered a ferocious wolf. Seeing that the situation was not good, the hunter abandoned Rose and fled quickly. Rose's reaction was slightly slow, but the ferocious wolf caught up with him.

As a winemaker, Ross often adjusted the barrels, and he was very strong, so he used the ferocious wolf to bite him, pressed his backhand against the ferocious wolf's back, and clamped his waist and throat in one go.

Later, he and the ferocious wolf were in a stalemate, and he simply started calling for help, hoping that the hunter would find his way back.

After speaking, Ross immediately spoke respectfully, "Ross Beren will remember this kindness in his heart."

Two yellow and one purple, three soul rings, and at most fourteen faces, it is really unbelievable.

His own son is also a soul master, with more than half of the third level of innate soul power. He is a cultivation genius of the Beren family. He is now over [-] years old and has even just broken through the third level.

Arriving at the Third Ring Road at the age of thirteen or fourteen, isn’t it a monster?

Even if you take away this kindness, it is still worth the trouble to make friends.

"It's just a matter of convenience, no need to be polite. This trip to Belen, it is fate that you and I meet. I heard that the autumn festival will be held soon, can you tell us about it?"

Baicai hid the mission target, pretended to be a passing traveler, and casually chatted about Belen's current situation.

"Autumn Festival?"

Ross was overjoyed, "The Autumn Festival is a traditional festival in Belen. Every family drinks wine together. The winery outside the city selects the best wines and sends them to the Gui family to sprinkle under the trees. They pray for a good harvest according to ancient rituals."

"The festival is approaching, and the hotel may be full. If you want to enjoy the festival, you might as well stay at Belem Winery temporarily."

Baicai immediately stopped eating, "Gui family?"

"The city lord's family has been hosting rituals for over a thousand years and has been the lord of Belen City for generations."

Ross quickly explained, "The Gui family, the Belen family, the industry association, and the School of Creatures are all four forces in the Belen area. The Gui family and the Belen family were the first to appear, and the industry association and the College of Creation were the last. It is said that thousands of years ago, the Gui family and The Belen family jointly governed Belen. Later, the Gui family gradually declined, and the industry association took over the management of Belen from the Gui family, and the School of Life was established accordingly."

"Rise and fall, all things are false, all things are permitted."

Baicai sighed, "The Belem area should be an agricultural city from the beginning. It is natural for the industry association to take over the management of Belem from the Gui family."

Ross echoed: "It is true that thousands of years ago, the Gui family and the Belen family had a lot of land. However, the output of the land was not as good as the goods sold. The Belen family could still survive relying on the wine industry, but the Gui family had no choice but to keep selling land. For a hundred years, there has been no progress in the industry other than hosting rituals."

"wrong!"

Baicai interrupted, "Where are the taxes?"

Even if the Gui family declines, they are still the lord of the city. The Belen area is very prosperous. Even if the tax is [-] yuan, it is a huge sum of money.

“There are never taxes in Belém.”

Ross smiled bitterly, "The ancestors of Beren came here to flee the wilderness and could not squeeze out any oil or water. Even if Beren later established a city and the Douling Empire sent tax collectors, they were still firmly resisted."

"Conflicts intensified, and the Belen region is about to rebel. The Dou Ling Empire finally made a compromise. The Belen region will be exempted from all future taxes and is equivalent to an autonomous city-state."

"From now on, no taxation is allowed in the Belen area. A system has been formed. The Gui family has been the city lord for generations, and the Belen area has been tax-free for generations."

Baicai instantly understood, "The Gui family represents Belen."

Ross applauded and exclaimed, "That's right to the point."

Baicai immediately reported his false identity, "Bai Ye, from Xingluo, a healing soul master."

Ross also announced his identity, "Ross Belen, from Belen, Silver Star Winemaker."

……

Day and night passed, and it was early morning.

Cabbage folded the tent and Ross gathered wild fruits. After the sun came out, the two set off for Belem.

Crossing the hills and stepping into a grassy plain, you can find several families of herdsmen every time you are separated by a little distance.

Ross went into one of the houses, emptied his pockets and took out a few gold soul coins. After selecting them, he bought two docile riding horses.

These horses are extremely docile and can be ridden even if you don't know how to ride them. Moreover, these horses are old horses and are familiar with the road conditions. The riders can reach the city even while sleeping.

Ross rode in front and Baicai rode behind. In less than half a day, they had arrived outside the city of Belem.

The city walls of Belem are very tall, and the city gate is more than ten meters high. The city gate guards did not collect any taxes except for inspecting goods.

Before noon, there was already a long queue at the city gate, and there was a bustle of traders. Vendors in short shorts of fine cloth were selling hot breakfast everywhere.

The oily aroma of meat and vegetables, the sweet aroma of sugar cubes, and the fresh aroma of fruits and vegetables are all mixed together to form a fresh taste.

Belem, this is a civilian city, thick and gentle.

Although Shrek City is exquisite, it serves soul masters after all.It was a soul master city, illusory and cold.

"This is Beren!"

After entering the city, Baicai praised, "Even comparable to..."

"The Star Luo Empire is the political center after all."

Of course Ross thought that he omitted the reference to the Star Luo Imperial Capital, after all, Baicai was born in Star Luo.

"Imperial Capital?"

Baicai was noncommittal, "The soul master competition held every five years may be much more lively than Beren."

The royal family, nobles, sects, colleges, Noumenon Sect, Mingdetang, Holy Spirit Sect, all kinds of forces are mixed together, and they can burn almost everything.

"Yes, the soul master competition held every five years is so exciting."

Ross suddenly felt melancholy, "It's a pity that the Academy of Life has not signed up for this competition. Otherwise, my son might be able to be selected as a substitute."

"Able to participate in the competition, substitute players, under 20 years old, above the third ring, with innate soul power of at least two levels."

Most of Shrek's competition teams are the first team, and the substitutes rarely play.For competition teams from other colleges, the substitutes are all regular second teams, so they need to have a third ring or above.

Baicai hesitated, "Theoretically speaking, at least one of the parents..."

Ross is obviously an ordinary person. Unless his son's martial soul mutates, Ross's wife must be a soul master.

Based on her spouse's age, Rose's wife is even the Soul King.

"Lisa...my wife..."

Rose burst into tears, "Ten years ago, Lisa was a senior teacher at the School of Life. She led students to hunt for soul rings and encountered two black water swamp crocodiles..."

"Lisa likes fruit wine, with a delicate fragrance and a slight sweetness. For the past ten years, every autumn festival, I will collect wild fruits and brew a can, but Lisa has..."

A genius girl who likes fruit wine and a rich boy who is passionate about making wine. What a romantic love story.

Unfortunately, this story is not a pretty one.
