In the rickety caravan, Kane carefully told Xue Hua and others bit by bit the history, urban planning, important figures and events of Lu Gaoyin.
From his narration and a series of previous encounters, Xue Hua already roughly understood what he would encounter here, or what obstacles he would encounter in the process of searching for the ancient tomb.
The biggest difference between Lugoin and Rogge Camp is that this is the heartland of mankind, while Rogge Camp can be regarded as an important border town guarding this heartland.
In the borderlands, Xue Hua's main enemies are demons and their human henchmen, the evil ones.
Although that kind of fighting environment is difficult, fortunately, the two sides have clear camps and the confrontation method is relatively direct.
You only need to be on guard against the machinations of your opponents, rather than fearing that your teammates will stab you behind your back.
But in front of this majestic and glorious human city, the hidden dark side is only more terrifying than its glorious side, and it has also changed from a battle between open swords and guns to a secret exchange of poisoned daggers.
Kane had clearly told Xue Hua that there were not many people he could trust in Lu Gaoyin City. Apart from his two young mercenaries and Kane himself, he could only trust himself.
Even the Farahs and Drognan, the president of the Mages Association, have to guard against each other overtly and covertly.
Because these two guys, Old Farah and Drognan, have almost gone crazy trying to find Tarasha's ancient tomb.
God knows if they will do anything crazy for this purpose?
Akala had told Kane more than once before he set off that he said that Old Farah was about to fall into a demonic trap because of this incident, and that President Drognan would probably only sink deeper.
Therefore, she asked Kane to remind Xue Hua in time that he could not have full trust in the Lu Gaoyin Master Association.
Xue Hua nodded to show that he understood, but his eyes slowly turned into a thoughtful light.
Before setting off, Kane had done some analysis of Lu Gaoyin's situation for him, during which he also mentioned several major forces existing in Lu Gaoyin.
But it wasn't until he saw the true appearance of Lu Gaoyin City that Xue Hua finally understood what kind of trouble he was about to face.
In a huge city like this, even if there aren't that many big forces entrenched, the small and medium-sized forces alone are enough to make people's heads full of worries.
What's more, basically none of the known major forces in this city are normal.
A king who daydreams all day long, two professional families with legendary professionals in charge, and a family of generations of financial aristocrats that even a political novice like him can smell the smell of conspiracy.
A psychotic mercenary organization that was still loyal to the royal family after being abolished from the army. This group of guys with muscles in their heads actually set up their station next to the main entrance of the sewer in the city, guarding the city for free for the Lugaoin City Guards.
Sewers - ever since a monster invasion occurred there decades ago, monster projections have come out of it and wandered around from time to time.
There is also the largest Lu Gaoyin gang who hides his home in a slum and is said to have dealings with evil consorts and cultists.
Especially when this gang actually has a name called "Lu Gaoyin People's Protection Front"?
This sounds like a terrorist organization, right?
Why the hell don't you just call it "Lu Gaoyin People's Liberation Front"?
Why don't you think this city is chaotic enough?
Really...
Xue Hua's head began to hurt as he thought about it.
The insect swarm is indeed very powerful, but he can't really lead the insect swarm to overthrow Lu Gaoyin...
At least so far, he hasn't been able to do such a thing~
Forget it, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. Let's go to the city first and see how these people react...
He sighed and put these things aside in advance, deciding that when the time came, soldiers would come to cover up the water and earth.
As long as his bottom line is not touched, he will play slowly with these complicated forces.
If anyone dares to make too much noise at that time, don't blame him for showing his trump card and flipping the table!
Xue Hua was secretly furious and had already considered the worst case scenario.
At this moment, the caravan slowly slowed down, and a huge shadow quickly covered the bright sunlight outside the window and spread to the rear of the caravan.
Xue Hua stretched out his head from the car and saw that the front end of the caravan had arrived at the gate of Lu Gaoyin City.
And the huge shadow that blocks the sun is the huge reflection cast by Lu Gaoyin's city wall.
...
After the caravan paid a huge tax, the caravan quickly passed through the wide city wall of Lu Gaoyin and entered the outer city of Lu Gaoyin.
Xue Hua opened the curtain of the window and looked at the bustling scene outside. For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to the human world again.
The desert trip that lasted for more than half a month made him tired of the endless desert scene with long yellow sand.
As a former modern person, he still couldn't get used to the long journey without mobile phones and the Internet.
So sometimes he also admires the people in the caravans who travel endlessly on the desert trade routes.
How did they endure these dangerous and boring trips?
While he was looking out the window at the low stone buildings in a daze, two little heads crowded next to him, one on the left and the other on the right.
The Rogge mercenary sisters stared curiously at these stone houses they had never seen before, as well as the earthy streets, and the endless flow of people on the streets.
The population of Lu Gaoyin is estimated to be dozens or hundreds of times that of Rogge Camp. This is the first time for the two girls to see so many people gathered together during non-celebration periods.
In particular, the architecture that was completely different from Rogge Camp and the exotic clothing of the people made it very strange for the two girls who left the Khanduras Mountains for the first time.
They couldn't help but kept exclaiming in low voices, and from time to time they discussed with each other through Xue Hua's face.
Xue Hua finally backed away from the window helplessly, leaving the space to the two excited little animals.
He touched the heads of the two little things, then turned and walked back to Kane.
"Now that we have arrived at Lugaoyin, what should we do next?" Xue Hua asked Kane.
"Farah will send someone to pick us up. We have to go to the Mages Association headquarters in the upper city first. There is still some information waiting for us to pick up." Kane nodded and replied.
"Then shall we get off here?"
"No, no need. If Farah arrives, Warev will notify..."
Before Kane finished speaking, Warev opened the curtain from outside the car and said to them: "Master Farah is here, he is waiting for you outside."
"Understood, tell him and we will come... Oh, by the way, could you please help us send these books to the headquarters of the Mages Association in the uptown area?" Kane nodded with a smile, and then asked.
.
"I am happy to serve you, respected Lord Kane." Warev also smiled, and then turned his head to look at Xue Hua.
"Xue, my friend, when you have finished what you are doing, take this and come to me in the business district. I will definitely prepare the best wine and the most beautiful beauties... Uh... I mean
, Canna... Yes, Canna, that is a very delicious fruit..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt two sharp eyes piercing him from inside the car. His neck suddenly shrank and he quickly changed his words, but his voice became smaller and smaller.
"Haha, I will definitely go there then~" Xue Hua laughed, poked the two puffy little faces that suddenly came to his side, and replied jokingly.
Warev smiled awkwardly, turned around quickly, and ran away.
"Master, you don't really want to go, do you?" Annie pursed her lips, with a little grievance on her face.
"Uh~ Hahahaha, of course not, ahem, how could a determined-minded person like me be tempted by such a temptation... Don't you think so, Mr. Kane?"
Seeing the deep suspicion in the eyes of the two women, Xue Hua hurriedly turned to Kane for help, but saw that the old man didn't even look at him or answer his words, he just pretended to be busy there.
packing luggage.
He immediately scratched his face in embarrassment, and then pretended to be busy and ran towards the back of the carriage, shouting as he ran.
"Go pack your luggage, go, go, go~"
"Master! I packed my luggage when I was outside the city. Don't even think about changing the subject today~~"
