After sailing on the river for several days, the boat finally stopped at a large ferry.
"After entering the ferry, ten miles further east is the ancient Leize City, and the recent Lei Xiaze."
When they were about to disembark, a strong man stood beside them to guide them on the way forward.
"Thank you, Brother Peng. Let's say goodbye then." Yu Baichou said goodbye with clasped fists, and the girl in the white dress beside him also saluted.
"Have a nice journey." The member of Tuoshi Hall named Peng also said goodbye.
Afterwards, Lorraine Hill led the little donkey behind him and followed Yu Baichou into the crowded avenue. Most of these people had just gotten off the boat and headed towards Lei Xiaze.
"There are many lakes and rivers around Leixiaze. In ancient times, there was a huge city among them, known as Leize City. Unfortunately, with the changes in the sea, the ancient city gradually sank into the lake. Today's Leixiaze was later built by the lake.
, although it is not as majestic as in ancient times, it can still be regarded as one of the few large cities in the nearby continents."
While walking on the road, in order to pass the boring time, Yu Baiqiu introduced it sentence by sentence. He had been to Leixiaze on a ship before, and he was no stranger to it.
"After entering the city, we will settle down first. It is said that several nearby factions will jointly hold a ceremony to recruit disciples."
"Okay, Uncle Yu." The girl climbed up a small hillside and looked at the long bluestone city wall in the distance in the wilderness. Her destination was almost there.

Two hours later, the two of them followed the flow of people and arrived at Lei Xiaze City. The tall city gate required looking up. There were several large dark green characters engraved on the top of the city gate, and there was a faint flash of lightning among them.
"Let's go in." After briefly checking their packages, the guard at the gate waved and let them go.
Compared with the previous Qingwei City that just left Minze, the streets here are much wider, and it is not difficult to drive eight carriages parallel to each other. The buildings in the city are also much larger, and their rough style has a touch of heroism, which is amazing.
Pedestrians walking in the city also wear different styles of clothing, including ordinary coarse cotton-padded clothes, silk and brocade, and magical and extraordinary scale-armored and feathered clothes. Some strange beasts for riding along the streets also come into the girl's eyes.
Some look like black panthers, some look like four-cornered horned dragons, and some look like flying tigers with wings. Although there are few such strange beasts, they are still different from the western continent.
This may be the reason for the dragon veins, the girl thought to herself.
Due to the existence of dragon veins, the Mana (Yuanli) between heaven and earth is more concentrated and concentrated, resulting in more magical beasts (exotic beasts). Although in ancient times, the existence of these alien beasts made the Eastern Continent full of dangers, but with the gradual rise of mankind,
, these strange beasts have gradually become resources.
At the same time, the most powerful dragon clan among them has gradually integrated into human life, making this country a world-famous pro-dragon country.
There will be messengers riding swift flying dragons between the state capitals to convey information and exchange information, and the dragon knights galloping in the sky within the dynasty also ensure the integrity of the country and will not be easily divided.
The dragon has nine sons, and nine generations refer to many, which means that the various subraces and descendants of the dragon family have gradually become part of the country and perform various functions.
For example, the xiezhi (xiè zhì), who lives in the high hall and can tell lies, is shaped like a black unicorn with a single horn on its head.
The docile prisoner ox can be found in hundreds of continents and thousands of counties in the world, and is often used to assist farming.
The water-avoiding beast, the earthworm, which dragged the giant boat forward in the deep sea, sometimes stood guard by the side of the palace, spewing rainwater to prevent fires.
Suan Ni, as powerful as a lion, is often a fighting beast in elite armies, breaking formations to kill, beheading flags and seizing generals.
Before, I didn’t quite understand why the Plantagenet Dynasty was called a dragon-loving kingdom. Now, after entering the big city, all the previous doubts have been solved.
The girl was walking on the street, her clear eyes under the veil curiously looking at this magical world.
"Give way, give way." Walking on the street, a slightly panicked voice suddenly came from behind, accompanied by a deep roar.
The girl and Yu Baichou turned around and saw an elephant several meters tall roaring in the street and running in confusion.
Just when it was about to hit the pedestrians and goods on the roadside, a lightning bolt flashed, and a long chain flew out from a distance and was directly locked on the elephant's leg, tightly binding it.
The chain stretched straight and swayed, and then several tall men came over, holding the other end of the chain in their hands.
Seeing that the elephant was still trying to struggle, these people shouted loudly, and then lightning flashed across the chain, causing bursts of burnt smell to come into contact with the elephant's legs, and the elephant also fell down.
The ground was slowly twitching.
"good!"
"As expected of a descendant of the God of Thunder, a citizen of Lei Ze."
Some people around him applauded, but the man who was originally riding on the elephant looked sad. I am afraid he will have to spend a lot of money in compensation this time.
"They are the original residents of Lei Xiaze. It is said that they are descendants of the ancient thunder god. They are good at lightning. They are also the ones who maintain order and security in Lei Xiaze." Yu Baiqiu briefly introduced.
After that, the men put away the chains, dragged the elephant to the side of the street, and began to interrogate its owner.
"Let's go. I guess that fellow will have to spend some money. After all, he didn't take care of the strange beasts he brought." Yu Baichou greeted Lorraine Hill, and then continued to walk forward.
Within the Plantagenet dynasty, there were many kinds of exotic beasts and dragons kept in captivity, and there were a lot of regulations on public security and regulations. If the alien beasts they carried were not properly managed and caused accidents and damage, their owners would naturally have to pay compensation.
After walking around the streets for a few times, Yu Baiqiu found an affordable inn with ease and familiarity, and the two finally settled down.
"Next, let's find out what factions are nearby. There is still plenty of time."
"Yes." The girl also nodded. She has also been consolidating her new practice of "Jianmu Qinghuang Jue" in the past few days.

A month later, crowds of people gathered in Lei Xiaze and the sound was loud. Young people from many nearby states and counties gathered together.
A huge high platform with a diameter of several hundred meters was built in the open space in the city. Rings of barriers around it spread out like walls to separate the onlookers outside.
At the four corners next to the open space, there are four square towers standing. Each tower has different decorations and personnel, and they also symbolize the four largest factions in the Seven Continents.
'Xuanyi Palace', 'Chixian Sect', 'Yinmiao Village' and 'Yonglei Mansion', not to mention the first three, are all cultivating sects within the Seven Continents, while the fourth one is more special and is a government official within the Seven Continents.
It is a representative of the Ministry of Education and specializes in training officers and sergeants. It is also a subordinate organization under the Winter Palace within the Plantagenet Dynasty.
Large leather drums were beating next to the high platform. The sound of the drums was like thunder, powerful and exciting, gradually leading the audience's emotions to a climax. Then a man in official uniform in the center also announced loudly.
"The general election has begun, and all the heroes from all over the world are invited to take the stage."
Flying across the grassy fields and rolling waves across the swamps, the ambitious geniuses from all over the seven continents climbed onto this towering platform, emerged, and competed with each other.
