Chapter 39: Arrival (Subscription ~ Ticket Request~)
In the rickety caravan, Kane carefully told Xue Hua and others about Lu Gaoin's history, urban planning, and a number of important people and events little by little.
From his account and the previous series of encounters, Xue Hua already had a rough idea of what he would encounter here, or what obstacles he would face in the process of finding the ancient tomb.
The biggest difference between Camp Lu and Rog is that this is the heartland of mankind, while Camp Rog can be regarded as a border town guarding this heartland.
In the Far Lands, Xue Hua's main enemies are demons and their human dog-legged pacters.
Although the fighting environment was difficult, the good thing was that the two sides had clear camps and a relatively direct confrontation.
You just need to guard against the machinations of your opponents, not your teammates who will stab you in the back.
But in the magnificent and glorious human giant city in front of us, the hidden dark side is only more terrifying than its glorious side, and it has also changed from a battle of open swords and guns to a quenching dagger that comes and goes in the dark.
Kane had clearly told Xue Hua that there were not many people he could trust in Lugauin City, except for his two little mercenaries and Kane himself, he could only trust himself.
Even the Farah father and daughter and the head of the Mage Guild, Drok Genam, had to be on guard, both openly and secretly.
Because the two guys, Old Farah and Dragognam, are going crazy trying to find the tomb of Tarasya.
God knows if they're going to do something crazy for this purpose?
Akara had told Kane more than once before he set off that old Farah was on the verge of falling into a demonic obstacle, and that President Drognam was probably going to sink deeper.
Therefore, she asked Kane to remind Xue Hua in time that she could not have full trust in the Lu Gaoyin Master Society.
Xue Hua nodded to indicate that he understood, but his eyes slowly glowed with contemplation.
Before leaving, Kane gave him a situation analysis of Lu Gaoin, during which he also mentioned several major forces in Lu Gaoin.
But it wasn't until he saw the true appearance of Lu Gaoyin City at this moment that Xue Hua finally understood what kind of trouble he was about to face.
In a giant city like this, even if there are not so many big forces entrenched, those small and medium-sized forces alone are enough to annoy people.
What's more, none of the known major forces in this city are normal.
A king who daydreams all day long, two families of professionals with legendary pros, and a family of generations of financial aristocrats who can smell conspiracy even as a political novice.
A group of neurotic mercenaries who have been laid off from the army and are still loyal to the royal family, these muscular guys with their brains have actually placed their station next to the main entrance to the city's sewers, guarding the city's sewers for free for the Lugoin City Guards, where monster projections have been running out of it every now and then since a monster invasion broke out decades ago.
There is also the largest gang of Lugoin who hides in the slums and is rumored to have dealings with both the Evil Deeds and the Cultists.
In particular, what is the name of this gang "Rugoin Popular Protective Front"?
Doesn't that sound like a terrorist organization?
Why don't you simply call it the "Rugauin People's Liberation Front"?
Why don't you think there's not enough chaos in this city?
Really......
Xue Hua thought about it, and his head began to hurt.
The swarm is very powerful, yes, but he can't really take the swarm directly to knock Lu Gaoin away......
At least so far, he can't do anything like that~
Forget it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, go to the city and take a look, and see how these people make a move......
He sighed, put the aside, and decided that the time would come to cover the water.
As long as he doesn't touch his bottom line, he will play slowly with these intricate forces.
If anyone dares to make too much trouble at that time, then don't blame him for directly showing his hole cards and flipping the table!
Xue Hua was secretly ruthless in his heart, and he had already considered the worst of things.
At this moment, the caravan's speed slowed down, and a huge shadow quickly covered the hot sunlight outside the window, spreading to the rear of the caravan.
Xue Hua stretched out his head from the car and found that the front end of the caravan had arrived at the foot of Lugaoin City.
And the huge shadow that blocked the sun was the huge reflection cast by the walls of Lugoin.
......
After paying a large tax, the caravan soon crossed the wide walls of Lugoin and entered the outer city of Lugoin.
Xue Hua lifted the curtain of the window and looked at the bustling scene outside, and for a while he felt like he was back in a trance.
Half a month of desert travel has made him tired of the endless desert scene with yellow sand.
As a former modern person, he still can't get used to the long journey without mobile phones and the Internet.
So sometimes he admired the people in the caravans that traveled endlessly on the desert trade routes.
How on earth do they endure the dangerous and boring travels?
Just as he was looking out the window at the low stone buildings in a daze, two small heads squeezed next to him, one left and one right.
The Rog mercenary sisters stared curiously at these never-before-seen stone houses, as well as the yellow-colored streets, and the endless flow of people on the streets.
The population of Rogue was estimated to be tens or hundreds of times larger than that of Camp Roger, and it was the first time the two girls had seen so many people get together during a non-celebratory period.
In particular, the architecture and the exotic way in which the people dressed in a completely different way from Camp Rog were very new to the two girls who had left the mountains of Canduras for the first time.
They couldn't help but keep whispering and exclaiming, and from time to time they discussed with each other through Xue Hua's face.
Xue Hua finally reluctantly retreated from the window and gave up the space to the two excited little animals.
He touched the heads of the two small things, then turned and walked back to Kane.
"Now that we've reached Lugoin, what are we going to do next?" Xue Hua asked Kane.
"Farah will send someone to pick us up, we have to go to the Mage Guild headquarters in Uptown first, there are still some materials waiting for us to pick up." Kane replied with a nod.
"Shall we get off here then?"
"No, no, if Farah arrives, Varif will inform ......"
Before Kane could finish his sentence, Variif lifted the curtain from outside the car and said to them, "Master Farah is here, he's waiting for you outside." ”
"Understood, tell him, we'll come... Oh, and could you please get these books to the Mage Guild headquarters in Uptown? Kane smiled and nodded, then asked.
"We're here to help, honorable Lord Kane." Variif also smiled, then turned his head to look at Xue Hua.
"Xue, my friend, when you are done with the business at hand, take this to the business district to find me, I will definitely prepare the best wine and the most beautiful beauty... Forehead... I mean, canna... Yes, canna, that's a very delicious fruit......"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt two sharp eyes stabbing from inside the car, and his neck suddenly shrank, and he quickly changed his words, but his voice became smaller and smaller.
"Haha, I will definitely go when the time comes~" Xue Hua laughed, poked the two little faces that suddenly came to his side, puffed up, and responded jokingly.
Varif smiled awkwardly, quickly turned around, and seemed to run away.
"Master~You don't really want to go~~" Anne's mouth was pursed, with a little grievance on her face.
"Eh~ hahahaha, of course not, cough cough, how can a strong-willed person like me be tempted by this temptation... You say yes, Mr. Kane? ”
Xue Hua saw that the eyes of the two women revealed deep suspicion, so he hurriedly turned his eyes to Kane for help, but saw that the old man did not look at him at all, nor did he answer his words, but just pretended to be busy packing his luggage there.
He 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 bags, go quickly~"
"The hosts! I packed my luggage as early as when I was out of the city, don't you want to change the topic casually today~~"
"Forehead ......"
