On the road full of ice and snow, several speeding carriages quickly passed through the gap between the port and the city. On the carriage in the middle where Fisher was riding, Fisher and Phyllis opened their respective carriages.
The curtains on the left and right sides of the carriage looked at the situation outside, but what they looked at was different.
Fisher was looking at the Sema Mountains in the distance. At this time, he had arrived at the northern end of the northern border. The huge shadow-like silhouette that seemed to be far away in the sky was finally enlarged and presented in an extremely shocking way.
In front of the creature looking at it, the huge mountain range with sharp edges and corners like a spine is completely covered by pale frost and snow without any other color. After the height that blocks the sky and the sun, there are mountains higher than the other, as if they are layer by layer.
The endless, hideous mouth displays its ferocity and mystery.
This is the most mysterious and dangerous natural landscape in the North, Sema Snow Mountain. Such a spectacular landscape made Fisher, who lives on the coast all year round, stare at it for a long time. Although he has been to many places, Sema Snow Mountain is definitely the
One of the most impressive landscapes.
But Phyllis was different. She didn't look at the spectacular Saima Snow Mountain, but kept staring at the city in the distance. For her, the smokey city was not only a gathering place for human beings, but also meant that
an important concept
Consumption!
Yes, although Phyllis is a money-loving guy, she is quite generous in consumption. She will buy all the things she wants, decorations and treasures. This is why Heidilin said before that her room
It’s probably because there’s a lot of stuff there and it’s hard to clean.
She wagged her tail and the muffin ears on her head twitched. She suddenly retracted from the window sill to the middle of the car. She looked a little restless and wanted to fly to the city to buy something big.
But he didn't expect that he stepped aside and let the wind and snow outside the window rush in and hit Balzac's face, who was reading a book.
His face darkened, he wiped the traces of wind and snow on his face with his red sleeves, pointed at Felice and cursed,
"You country bumpkin, why didn't you close the window when you opened it? There's nothing good to see in a shabby city. It's not even here yet, so I kept looking at it."
Felice crossed her legs, reached out and took out the ears on her head, and said with a smile,
"Oh, he's watching again. Why didn't you tell him to go? Besides, I'm a country bumpkin from the southern continent. Who do you think you are, a declining noble who was expelled from Shivali by your family? Have you been marked as a slave?
?”
"you!"
Balzac seemed to be stabbed in pain by Phyllis. He didn't even care about the class gap between humans and leonines. He buttoned up the book and was about to roll up his sleeves and start doing it. Phyllis looked at him with an indifferent expression.
Then he hooked his hand, and just when he was about to say something taunting, another window suddenly made a crisp sound.
"Snapped!"
Phyllis's hooking action instantly turned into a cross-guard, and Balzac's movement to stand up suddenly froze in place. At the same time, he turned to look at Fisher, who was sitting back in the middle of the carriage again, and saw him gently
With a flick of her hand, the fluid sword in her sleeve dexterously closed the window that Felice had not closed just now, and the warmth returned to the carriage.
"."
Fisher didn't say much to them. He just put the sleeping Emhart in his arms smoothly on the table. Watching his square body turn over on the table and go to sleep, he couldn't help but
Some people laughed dumbly and put him down again.
Phyllis and Balzac first glanced at the book on the table together, and then looked at each other fiercely. They both sat back impatiently, hugging their chests, and no longer looked at each other.
.
"Didi!"
The whistle of the steam train in the distance mixed with the vibrant noise of the city came into the carriage. Mia was about to be closed, so this train was the last train that could officially enter Mia.
In the urban area, the buildings in Mia are quite tall. Even the residential buildings are six or seven stories high. Compared with the four-story hut in Fisherna-Saint-Nali, it is much larger. There is of course a reason for this.
Yes, there are very few cities in Mia. Most of them are autonomous demi-human settlements. A city like this that is obviously human-industrialized will suddenly be crowded with a lot of people and demi-humans. In order to improve the utilization rate of the land, they will
The volume of the building has increased.
The luxury carriages of the Turan family, escorted by the Miya army, passed through the city in a row, attracting many passers-by walking on the roadside wearing heavy clothes. Among them were three people sitting on the roadside wearing black robes.
strange figure.
The three figures, all hidden under black robes, were sitting on the roadside at the train station exit in thin clothing. A broken bowl was placed in front of them, and a strip of rough oil paint was hung on the wall behind them.
Colorful cloth strips with some clowns and elephant-like figures painted on them
In their arms, one or two musical instruments that they held tightly were also covered with stains, which seemed to announce their identities. They were poor street performers at the entrance of the train station. There were usually people coming and going here, but today it was not.
Due to Miya's ban, the population was sparse, so they had little business, and there were only a few Northern Silver Dollars in the broken bowl in front of them.
“There is a [high value] smell there”
The three figures in black robes all raised their heads when the Turan family's carriage just passed by. It was not until the carriage gradually moved away that the figure in black robes at the front suddenly heard a female voice.
"Mom, I'm so hungry. I want to go eat something delicious."
Behind her, one of the figures in black robes suddenly spoke timidly, and at the same time hugged the musical instrument on his body tighter, but this pitiful speech did not get any attention from the leader called "Mother"
Seeing the sympathy of others, she just glanced at the train station where passengers had already begun to unload, and suddenly turned her head and yelled,
"Then hurry up and work harder, otherwise we will all go to drink the northwest wind today and show off all our unique skills!"
The two figures in black robes at the back nodded quickly and raised the strange-shaped musical instrument in their hands. Looking carefully, the instrument looked like both a flute and an organ, but as they put the instrument into their mouths at the same time, a burst of passion
And the warm music suddenly started playing.
It was the purest, warmest and most cheerful music. Although the melody was passionate, the music rippled in a trance with three constantly repeated sounds and words,
"Kexienin! Kexienin! Kexienin! Kexienin!"
As the singing voice appeared, the figure in black robes at the head also sang loudly,
"Passing guests! In the ice and snow, please stay for a moment and listen to the old woman singing. Let the old woman guess where you are from. Please let me sing a hometown song for you, so that I can warm you up because of your running around.
And the resulting coldness!”
In the train station, several stern-looking men wearing heavy trench coats and gentleman's hats each carried a box and walked out of the train station. The leading man had blond hair and a little flickering golden light in his eyes. He looked around.
Looking at the surrounding environment, he whispered in Nali language,
"Your Majesty, we have arrived in Mia. According to the report on Pattiusian Island, Fisher Benavides landed in the north and had some unclear involvement with the Turan family. Yes,
Nebalon's domestic agents saw him landing at the port. We will go after him as soon as we land. We know how dangerous he is, but we have brought relics that can definitely capture him alive. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
The black-robed figure holding the musical instrument and singing trembled slightly, as if he smelled something, and immediately confirmed the identity of the people in front of him from Nali, so his voice immediately changed, and he sang a Nali folk ballad in Nali language.
,
"Ah, the smell of fish, the fury of the sea and countless gold are just for the great captain and the achievements that will go down in history. These are nothing. Please tell my father and mother, please tell my brothers, sisters and wife, I
I’m going to sail away tonight! I’m going to sail away tonight!”
After this emotional song was sung, the cold-faced Nali people suddenly turned their heads and glared at the artists who were interrupting their call with His Majesty by singing, causing the figure in black robe who just wanted to pick up the bowl to ask for money to pause for a moment.
For a moment, I was afraid that they would pull out their guns and shoot.
Fortunately, those Nali people seemed to have other things to be busy with. They just spat at the singing figures behind them, and then left the place with a cold snort.
The figure in the black robe at the front hid slightly to avoid the attack of the spittle, which made her black robe tremble slightly, revealing the thin old body wrapped in the black robe, with drooping skin.
She glared hard at the men in trench coats who were walking further and further away, and then cursed in a low voice,
"Hmph, if it weren't for that unfilial son! The white-eyed wolf! He stole all the value of my savings, how could I, Ke Xining, end up in such a bad situation? Bah! These human beings really look down on others! Na Li
Damn note, I’m going to call the police in Miya, you spies!”
Just when the old woman named "Ke Xining" was scolding in a low voice, the two figures in black robes behind her also gently took off their black robes, revealing two young girls with different looks.
Looking at their faces, they pursed their lips, tugged on their mother's black robe and whispered a reminder,
"Mom, we were sent to jail last month for stealing. We were sentenced to seven years. We finally escaped. It's already very dangerous to perform here. If we still go to the police, they will definitely arrest us first.
.”
This made the aggressive Kexining in front of her slow down a bit, and her face became even more disgusting. She turned around and cursed at the two daughters,
"If I had money and converted it into value, I would have traveled to other places long ago. It wouldn't be because of you two losers! If you can't even do something as simple as stealing, what's the point of raising you!?"
The two girls were scolded so much that they shrank until they leaned limply against the wall behind them. However, Kexining continued to scold, as if the resentment that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly burst out. She swayed slightly.
He stood up and pointed at his two shivering daughters hiding in front of the wall and shouted loudly,
"Correia, Corny, you two losers who only know how to eat, why don't you run away with your white-eyed wolf Colin who stole everything from me? You two beasts, I"
The two girls shrank toward the wall and whispered,
"We. We wanted to, but he just took your belongings and shuttled away without us. We didn't follow."
"You guys! I'll beat you to death!"
Ke Xia Ning was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He picked up the instrument in his hand and was about to hit them. However, he did not expect that the raised instrument suddenly bumped into someone walking behind him. As soon as he met Ke Xia Ning, he felt that something bad was going to happen to him.
The instrument in his hand is a very heavy [Boundary Bagpipe], it is no joke if it hits someone.
Once the other party is injured, does that mean you have to pay again?
Ke Xining's half-raised instrument froze in mid-air. She didn't even dare to look back at the other party. The sweat on her face was getting more and more. Her eyes wandered around for several times, and then suddenly suddenly
Suddenly he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the other party.
"Hero, spare your life, I didn't mean it! If you feel uncomfortable, I don't have the money to compensate you. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!"
The two daughters at the back were also so frightened that their faces turned pale. They didn't have a single steel ball on their bodies, and if they tried to pay any more, they would lose all of their underwear. So they also practiced Xie Ning and lay down on the ground together, facing each other.
The gentleman who was hit by her apologized.
"Ah, it's okay. This is not a big deal. The paintings on your back should be images that are only found in the circus. Why are you now a street performer?"
"Well, it's a long story."
Right in front of Ke Xie Ning, the gentleman called out a calm voice whose gender was difficult to distinguish. Ke Xie Ning could not see his movements at this time and could only guess that he was looking at the pictures they hung on the wall.
The last of the circus items that were not stolen by Colin.
"It's really interesting. Several slimes are wearing fake skins and performing in the wind and snow. This is really rare. I heard that the slimes in the rumors are all extremely wealthy. How could they be in such a miserable state?
So what are you going to do with the bagpipes, and perform songs for me?"
Ke Xining, who was blushing at what the other party said, pursed her lips in embarrassment, but she keenly sensed the other party's interest in her performing arts. Such a boss was most likely to reward her with some money, so she immediately smiled flatteringly.
He said,
"I have been to many places. I can guess where you are from without asking. I can also give you a song from my hometown for me to listen to. You are from Shivali, right? Shiva
I'm good at Lee's songs, I'll sing them to you. Red flowers in the mountains, the general who went abroad ~ I stayed on the day you left, picking them."
Just when Ke Xining wanted to continue singing dryly, the shining silver coins of the Northern Territory had already clinked into the broken bowl in front of her. Ke Xining sang
The speed became slower and slower, until finally his eyes were completely swallowed up by the light of the silver dollar, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva unbearably.
"Oh, this is so generous! Thank you, thank you! Gentleman from Shivali."
She was afraid that the other party would take it back again, so she quickly hugged the broken bowl filled with silver coins in front of her. Then she carefully raised her head to confirm the other party's movements, only to find that the gentleman had already walked out several steps. At this time,
Only then did she suddenly realize that it was a gentleman dressed very strangely.
He was wearing a thick black leather coat, and his face seemed to be swallowed up. He wore a beak mask that was unclear whether it was a face or a foreign object. He put on a black boat cap, and then faced Ke Xining behind him.
He waved his hand casually,
"Keep these silver coins well. I heard that the slime race is a magical race that can do hundreds or thousands of times business with only a little cost. I'm looking forward to it."
The figure walked further and further away, and soon disappeared into the crowd. He was obviously such a special person, but he blended into the crowd so easily that people couldn't help but think about him.
But Ke Xining didn't care. She just looked down at the bowl full of silver coins, greedily buried her face behind the silver coins, and then took a deep breath.
"Yes, that's the kind of race we are."
When she raised her head again, her originally pale face was filled with healthy blood, as if she were thirty years younger. She raised her head and looked greedily in the other direction of the street, where was the carriage full of noble value.
The direction in which to drive.
