Chapter 158: Pompeii (I)
"Oh? They said yes so easily? It seems that there are still smart people! Aix listened to Amur's report, played with the "gift" that Amur brought back, and said with some surprise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"However, they know the times better, and save me a waste of time." After hearing this, Ax stopped caring, and then, looking at Burton, who had come from other places, asked, "Hasn't there been any news from Casey yet?" ”
"Not yet, but, according to the last message he sent back, there shouldn't be any problems." Burton's eyes flashed and he said, now, he is already a preacher of the Dark Holy Sect, of course, compared to these false names, he doesn't care, but every time those apprentices worship the eyes, he will have a strong sense of pride and existence, as if he is changing the world, which makes this ordinary dark warlock feel strong satisfaction.
"I'm still a little worried, there's basically nothing going on here, and I'm going to go to Casey myself." Aix pondered for a while, then said uneasily.
"Okay, but you bring Kleist with you, his strength is still very strong, and besides, he came out this time to increase his knowledge." Burton did not dissuade Aix, because he also knew that the eastern part of the Storm Plains was a small fight, because the western part of the Storm Plains was the real stage, where eighty percent of the population of the Storm Plains was concentrated, and only the people there could represent the Storm Plains.
"Okay, Kleist, you go and get ready, we'll leave in the middle of the night tonight, if I can't see your people, I'll go by myself." Ax looked left and right, and only after realizing that he didn't see the witch's figure, did he whisper to Kleist, and even Burton, who was close at hand, didn't hear what Ax was talking about.
Seeing that Ax looked like a thief, Burton seriously doubted Aix's motive for leaving for the west of the Stormy Plains, but thinking of the little witch's methods, he also shivered all over his body, and then decided to leave here in the middle of the night today.
In the middle of the night, two sneaky figures led two horses and sneaked out of the camp, and then, the two turned over at the same time, and ran towards the west with a whip.
"I didn't expect the night on the prairie to be so beautiful, the air is fresh, and the breeze is smooth." Aix sat on horseback, pointed to the night sky, and said in a poetic voice.
"Why don't I think it's similar to the previous camp!" Behind Aix, a voice rang out.
"That's because ......," said Aix, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then, with a jerk of his head, he saw a teddy bear behind him, with eyes as deep as black holes.
"Ah~" With a scream, Aix fell directly from the horse, he never thought that Annie, the little witch, was sitting on the butt of the horse he was riding, and went up and down with the bumps of the horse's running, but it just didn't fall.
"Why are you here?" Ax asked in surprise as he sat on the grass. Then he immediately turned his head to look at Kleist, and found that the boy was sitting on horseback like a log, and it was no wonder that he did not speak all the way, but he could not speak at all.
"Damn, when did you find us. Hey, wait for me! Aix shouted to the two who were far away, he didn't want to walk to the west of the Storm Plains on his legs, so he could only give up the question and get on his horse honestly.
Although the western part of the Storm Plains is called so, it is not only the people of the Storm Plains who gather there, it can be said that it is a crossroads, the people of the Surrima Desert, the Kumon Forest, and even, the people who come through the Mogro Pass, will gather here, so this can be said to be the most prosperous place in the south of the Great Barrier, of course, prosperity sometimes means strife and fish and dragons. Since there is no one powerful force to restrain it, there, strength is the law.
"The front is where we are going, in fact, it is no longer within the scope of the Storm Plains, but there is no boundary here, whoever is strong belongs to whomever this is, and since the awakening of the Desert Emperor Azir, this place belongs to Surima."
Finally, after more than ten days of travel, the three of them arrived at the destination of this trip, Pompeii. It has long been impossible to verify who founded this city and when it was established, but its prosperity has continued to this day, and the ancient city does not have any walls, because there is no owner here, and anyone can come and leave.
Although there are no city walls, there are not many places to enter the city, because a large river flows through both sides of the ancient city, which means that the ancient city can be regarded as a city in the middle of a lake, and the wide river water has become a natural city wall.
To get into the city, you can cross two bridges, and of course, if you don't have a large salute, you can also take a boat to get there. Because the three of Aix need to lead the horses, they can only choose to take the bridge.
Since the arrival of the three of them was close to evening, it was the peak time to enter the city, and the people who walked the bridge were some caravans with large goods, so the speed of advance was very slow, and the three of them were in the crowd for a long time before they could move forward.
"If I knew I wouldn't have wanted these two horses, it would be better to go there by boat than to be crowded here like now." Aix grumbled regretfully.
"Do you want me to make a way for you?" Anne, who was sitting on horseback, looked at the congested road and said excitedly.
"No, we're still very patient, and besides, it's good to enjoy the sunset here, don't you say, Kleist." Ax hurriedly shook his head, joking, if she was allowed to get out of the way, tomorrow the three of them would become wanted criminals by all the forces in the ancient city. Ax didn't want to be a rat crossing the street before he even entered the city.
In fact, the bridge is two-way traffic, one side into the city, the other side out of the city, just some railings in the middle, the bridge is divided into two. At this time, although there were many people entering the city, there were not many people leaving the city, but even if the road into the city was crowded like this, no one stepped over the railing and entered the city from the other side.
Just when Ax was restless on the bridge, his eyes constantly looking at the opposite side, Ax suddenly found that on the half of the bridge out of the city, a horse team galloped past, causing people who went out of the city to roll over on their backs for a while.
"It's driving in the opposite direction, and no one cares, if no one cares, I'll have to take care of it." Aix shouted at the men on horseback, and then, leading the horse, quickly crossed the railing, and chased after the team, although the other party was long gone. (To be continued.) )
