Chapter 122 Want to help?(1/2)
At this time, Zhao Yifan led the carriage and led everyone slowly toward the town. As their height dropped, they gradually saw the size of the town clearly.
The eight-pointed star has some rhombus-shaped walls. There is a church near the center of each wall, with a red cross hanging high on it. In front of the church, you can vaguely see a huge, stone-carved knight statue.
"That's it!" Ryan suddenly exclaimed,
Zhao Yifan held the horse and showed a happy smile, "What, do you understand?"
Ryan nodded suddenly, but Zhao Zhiqi was still confused, "What is it?"
Zhao Yifan smiled slightly and said, "Look at the three churches to the east. What are the differences?"
Zhao Zhiqi squinted her eyes and took a closer look and then said, "It seems to be higher than the others... Oh! So that's it!"
"Yes, that's it. The three buildings over there are higher. According to the horizontal parallel diagram, it is the center of the palace, but according to the ordinary 3D parallel diagram, it is the training ground. This is a double formation inside and outside." Zhao Yifan interrupted Zhao Zhiqi's words.
Then he said.
However, Xu Shan shook his head and thought, show off!
...
Zhao Yifan and the others pulled the carriage and stood behind the town's fence, waiting in a long line to pass through the gate.
There were more than a dozen soldiers standing in front of the gate, checking the things and people on the carriage one by one. After all, the human race outside the jurisdiction was hostile to other races, so they were also afraid that people from other races would sneak in and break out civil strife.
Zhao Yifan and the others probably queued from noon to afternoon before successfully entering the city. On the way, everyone was dried to death by the hot sun in the sky.
"Phew, it's so hot. How about we take a rest here today?" Zhao Zhiqi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said,
At this time, they were on a very lively and bustling street, with shops on both sides, including fruit shops, food shops, candy shops, cooking shops, flower shops, butcher shops, vegetarian shops, and even weapons shops, armor shops, and refineries.
There are shops and clothing stores here, and this street can be said to be a very prosperous street.
However, this street is not uncommon, because the entire town is full of streets like this.
At this time, Zhao Yifan nodded, "Okay, but we have to stay for two days, because there may be heavy rain tomorrow and the road up the mountain will be difficult."
Xu Shan and Wang Xinyu also subconsciously looked up at the clear sky, and then observed it for a while.
"It seems like there will be a heavy rain tomorrow." Wang Xinyu said with a slight smile.
Then Zhao Yifan, who arrived in the town, pulled the carriage and said, "You go find a house first, and I'll go to the stable to change horses."
Everyone nodded and prepared to leave, but Zhao Yifan grabbed Ryan's collar and dragged him away. "You, follow me!"
Ryan was dragged directly to the street in the completely opposite direction by Zhao Yifan.
"Let's go." Xu Shan shrugged, then turned around and left with Zhao Zhiqi and the others.
However, they had not gone far when a commotion immediately broke out in the originally bustling street.
A large number of cavalrymen rode horses and galloped through the streets, without any regard for passers-by. Anyone who blocked the road was knocked out. They ran to the intersection of this block and stopped in front of the fountain in the middle.
The leading man touched his mustache, revealed a very cunning smile, cleared his throat and said, "Attention, everyone!"
The man's roar was ignored by the surrounding pedestrians, who thought it was a military exercise.
When the leading knight man saw that no one was paying attention to him, he suddenly became angry and his face turned dark. He turned around and slapped a younger knight next to him away and shouted angrily, "Where's the loudspeaker, you bastard! How many times do you want me to remind you?"
Times!"
The boy who was slapped away quickly stood up, nodded and bowed, and brought the loudspeaker forward, "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, it was my negligence."
The man snatched the loudspeaker away, kicked the boy away again, cleared his throat and shouted, "Everyone, pay attention!"
This time, almost everyone stopped what they were doing at the same moment. The noisy neighborhood instantly became quiet, and everyone looked in the direction of the man.
The man smiled slightly and showed great satisfaction, then put on his golden armor and stepped onto the fence beside the fountain. "As we all know, our Harvey City is the best and safest town in the entire human race!"
As he spoke, he paused and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "But it seems that a few little mice have sneaked in here recently. I heard that many stores have had some things stolen, especially food stores. If it's just some small thieves, we'll do it."
We won't mobilize troops like this, because we heard that these little thieves are all done by a group of cat tribe, which means that the cat tribe has sneaked in."
Hearing this, not many people were shocked, but instead showed very unhappy expressions, because they all knew that these little thieves were not human at all. Judging from their movements and agility, they must have animal genes.
However, their unhappiness was not because of this, but because they all knew what the knight in front of them would say next.
"So, the next heir of our great Christine family, Young Master Christine Owen, ordered our Scarlet Knights to guard the security of each block 24 hours a day, so all of you must turn in 100 Gallia every day as
Protection fee. The above is the full text, so please cooperate with us."
...
At this time, Zhao Yifan and Ryan pulled the carriage to a relatively remote pasture in a town.
Sitting outside the ranch
There was a black-haired woman milking a cow. When Zhao Yifan and Ryan walked over, the woman stopped what she was doing and stuck her head out and asked, "Can I help you?"
The woman looks like she is only sixteen years old. She is very sweet and lovely. Her skin is as fair as snow. Her watery eyes are full of confusion. There seems to be a mist that makes people unable to see clearly, but at the same time
It also adds a sense of mystery to her.
Zhao Yifan looked at her for a while, and then asked, "Can I change horses? We are in a hurry, and these two horses are very tired."
The woman looked at the horse and carriage brought by Zhao Yifan and Ryan, frowned slightly and said, "Come with me."
After saying that, she picked up the two buckets of milk on the ground and walked towards the ranch not far behind her. Upon seeing this, Zhao Yifan quickly gave the reins in his hand to Ryan, then trotted up and took a bucket of milk and said with a smile, "I'm here to help."
You."
Ryan, who was behind, looked in the direction of Zhao Yifan with disdain, curled his lips and muttered, "I value sex over friends. I have such a beautiful fiancée and I'm still hooking up with people outside. She's probably about the same age as your sister, a little bit."
You have no morals, you are a beast."
Then the girl took Zhao Yifan and Ryan to the huge ranch house. Here, Zhao Yifan finally experienced what real "chicken and dog" means.
It's not an idiom, it's reality.
I saw that there were all kinds of animals inside, including chickens, ducks, geese, horses, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, cats, etc., all running around outside, and the whole huge ranch was full of people barking.
The sound kept coming.
The girl just opened the door and saw this scene, which was completely opposite to Zhao Yifan's stunned look. Instead, she directly yelled, "Dad, why did you forget to lock them again!"
At this time, a man wearing a blue jumpsuit and suspenders came out of the cowshed with a smile. "Weiwei, I have told you many times that animals need to be free ranged. You can't leave them alone every day."
Put it in a cage."
However, Weiwei replied angrily, "Hey, there are guests here, and they want horses." After saying that, she took the bottle of milk from Zhao Yifan's hand and put it in the big vat aside, and the man heard this
A guest comes and then disappears without a trace.
Zhao Yifan looked at this strange pair of women and was confused. At this time, Ryan whispered in Zhao Yifan's ear, "Brother Yifan, do you think this place is reliable? Why do I feel so unreliable?"
Zhao Yifan shook his shoulders to shake off Ryan's hand and replied angrily, "Don't call me brother, he's not much older than you. Just call me Yifan."
After speaking, he looked in the direction of the girl and continued, "Let's not talk about whether it is reliable or not. Do we have any other options?"
That's right, Zhao Yifan and the others have no other choice, because in this town, this is the only ranch where people raise horses, and other ranches basically don't raise horses, animals that are of little use to them.
"Hi, you two." At this time, a very kind and gentle voice came into the ears of Zhao Yifan and Ryan. The two were slightly stunned and turned to look at the source of the voice.
I saw that the man who was still wearing old shepherd clothes suddenly transformed into a gentleman.
At this time, he was wearing a straight white suit with a handkerchief in his pocket. His originally messy dreadlocks were neatly combed and then tied up.
The man's skin color was a bit dark, but it was brown. He made a gesture of invitation towards the coffee chair behind him and said, "Please, please give those two horses to my daughter."
As she spoke, Weiwei glared at her father and cursed, walked over and snatched the reins from Ryan's hand.
After Zhao Yifan and Ryan sat down, the man also sat down. He smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, my daughter is a bit grumpy."
Zhao Yifan also smiled and said, "No way, I think your daughter is quite good and can help you take care of these animals."
As soon as he finished speaking, a chicken "clucked" and flew past the three of them, while Weiwei was chasing behind.
"actually"
"I know that your two horses are not suitable for long journeys." The man interrupted Zhao Yifan directly when he spoke.
Then the man's mouth slightly raised and he continued, "It seems I was right. Those two gray-white horses don't have a trace of flesh on their bodies. They don't run fast and are used to pull carts. Their legs are long and their coats are beautiful and their curves are almost perfect. This can be explained by this."
The two horses are a kind of thing that is not useful, and they are usually noble horses used by nobles to support the occasion."
Zhao Yifan nodded and said directly, "Okay, boss, I see that you are also an expert. I want to replace two horses with good durability and can travel for a long time. Can you exchange them?"
The man laughed when he heard this, "Pfft, can you exchange it? You are looking down on me, little brother. You only have two noble horses, and you have to exchange them for working horses. Do you think I will exchange them for you?"
Zhao Yifan frowned in displeasure, "How much does it cost?"
The corner of the man's mouth curled up, and he lay down on the chair very leisurely and thought for a while, "Well~, how about swapping two horses for one, and you use money to buy the remaining one?"
This time it was Zhao Yifan and Ryan's turn to think deeply. Seeing that they were silent for a long time, the man said, "Don't say I didn't remind you. Judging from the two horses you brought with you, they must have been driving for at least two days without rest."
Come on. If I hadn't been blind, I guess there's no way those two horses could have lasted across this town."
"Okay, how much is it?" Zhao Yifan thought for a moment and then asked.
"Replace the carriage together. I will provide two horses and another carriage for free. Since there are only two of you anyway, I will give you a large carriage for merchants. It can carry more things for many people and is more convenient."
As he spoke, he pointed to a very shabby-looking carriage behind him.
It's just a huge wooden board with four wheels and a tent for sun and rain protection. There are two wooden stakes in front for tying horses.
