Nian Bing held three blades. Since Wanderer did not chase after her, he would not be a threat to her. She looked at Wanderer and asked, "How do you know that I am younger than you?"
Wanderer laughed and said, "Your voice is obviously fake. You can fool ordinary people, but you want to fool me? It won't be that easy. If I tell you to come over, then come over. I will not harm you. This time, I will consider your robbery a success. To think that this is the first time in my life that I have been robbed successfully. Ai, I have to give you face! " After saying that, his gaze fell on Nian Bing's chest.
Nian Bing subconsciously lowered his head to take a look. Only then did he realize that the Heavenly Flower Token that hung around his neck was exposed after his clothes were torn. The white jade shone with a lustrous luster. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood something. He reverted to his original voice and asked in a strange tone, "You know the owner of this token?"
Wanderer nodded and said, "This is my sister-in-law's thing. Kid, since you are humming this plate, you should recognize me. Why did you come to rob me?
Tell me, what is your relationship with the owner of this plate? "
Nian Bing snorted and said, "Aren't you afraid that I stole this plate? Since I am here to rob, I am not a good person. "
The Vagabond laughed, once again revealing his big yellow teeth. "What a joke, this is the funniest joke in the world. In this continent, I'm afraid there aren't many people who can take my sister-in-law's things. You think you can? You can't even beat me. How can you take it? Alright. Since you are not willing to say, I will not ask anymore. Anyway, I will give face to the owner of this plate. At most, I will ask her to pay me back and leave. "
At this time. Wanderer's subordinate had already ridden back. His horse controlling technique was extremely exquisite. He came to Wanderer's side and handed over a large leather bag. Wanderer did not even look at it and directly threw the leather bag to Nianbing, "Take it and spend it. Don't be a robber in the future. This is not a good job. If you lose your life, your family will be sad for you. "
Nian Bing received the leather bag. The light in his eyes flickered continuously. Family Eryu reminded him of his parents. At the same time, he also remembered the owner of this Heavenly Flower Tablet. I actually robbed a merchant caravan protected by Aunty Yu's friend. No, this won't do. How can I take this money? In his heart, Xiang Ruyan, who had given him the Heavenly Flower Token, was one of the few people he respected the most. Nian Bing had never been a dog. But the person who snorted to himself. But he cherished it very much.
"Since you know the owner of this brand, I don't want the money. You can leave now. "After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Garamandis.
A figure flashed. The vagrant, who had just received the leather pouch and was somewhat surprised, felt that the leather pouch in his hand was gone. Garamandis weighed the leather element in his hand and chuckled. "Not bad, not bad. That's a lot of money! It's enough to eat for a while. Why wouldn't they want it? It's a waste if they don't want it. If you don't want it, I want it. "
Nian Bing turned around and looked at Garamandis with a complicated gaze. Suddenly, as if he had decided on something, he resolutely said, "Garamandis, return the money to them. You can't take this money."
Garamandis snorted and said, "When did it become your turn to ask me? You say I can't take it, so I can't take it? I want it. "
"Garamandis, return the money to them. Even if I have to go begging on the streets, I will definitely let you eat your fill." Nian Bing's expression was very calm, but his voice revealed an unprecedented aura. Garamandis's heart shook. This was the first time he had seen Nian Bing with such a serious expression. Even when he had threatened his life, he had not seen him like this. He frowned and said, "Begging? How much money can I get from begging?"
Nian Bing took a few steps to Garamandis and said in a deep voice, "You still want to pick them up? I'll sell Chen Lu. That should be enough, right?"
Garamandis's eyes were filled with shock. After interacting with Nian Bing for so long, he knew that the Morning Dew and Upright Yang Blades were Nian Bing's most treasured items. At this moment, he actually wanted to sell the Morning Dew for an outsider's money. It could be seen how important this matter was to him. Garamandis did not insist and threw the money pouch back to Lu Lang in disdain. "Fine. If you want to be a good person, then do it. Just let me eat my fill." After saying that, he walked along the main road without looking back.
The shock in Vagrant's heart was unparalleled. First of all, he did not have the time to see what Chugaramandis was doing. If the other party wanted to take his life, with that kind of speed, he would not even have the chance to dodge. What kind of power was this? Perhaps even his big brother would not be able to reach that level. Could it be that this red-haired young man was a god?
Nian Bing bowed to Lu Lang and said, "I'm sorry. I did not know that you were Aunty Yu's friends. Please forgive me for offending you just now. After saying that, he chased after Garamandis. At this moment, he felt that he had done something that he was most proud of. Even Garamandis was moved by him. Aunty Yu, you won't blame me, right? How are you now? Are you okay?
After the caravan left, Lu Lang did not chase after them to ask any more questions. He noticed that all the horses in the caravan were trembling slightly when Nian Bing and Garamandis passed by them. Only after they passed by did the horses regain their ability to move again. He could not guess the origins of Nian Bing and Lu Lang, but now he completely believed that these two people really had the ability to rob the caravan that he was protecting. Lu Lang shouldered an important mission. Although he was very curious about the origins of Nian Bing, now was not the time to ask more. Everything would wait until he finished this mission and went back to ask about it.
Although Garamandis deliberately hid his begging aura, horses were psychic animals. The looming Long Qi on his body was still felt by the horses. Therefore, although these horses had been trained for a long time, they were still deterred by Garamandis's aura.
"Nian Bing, do you know those people just now?" Garamandis finally spoke. After walking for an hour, Nian Bing remained silent. Naturally, the prideful Garamandis did not speak. However, in the end, he could not stand the loneliness.
Nian Bing shook his head and said, "I don't know." Garamandis. Do you still remember? I once told you that when I first cultivated the Origin of Ice and Fire, I was saved by this Heavenly Flower Token. Without it, I would have died long ago. It is impossible for me to cultivate the Origin of Ice and Fire. The Radiant Knight who fought with me just now knew the owner of this token. Therefore, I really can't rob them. However, I lied to you about the pagoda. The Ice Goddess Stone on the Morning Dew Dagger is the last thing that my mother left me. I will definitely not sell it. But don't worry, I will definitely let you eat until you are full. After we arrive at Auland, I will find a restaurant to be a chef. It should be no problem for me to provide you with food. "
Garamandis suddenly patted Nian Bing's shoulder and chuckled, "I knew that you would not be willing to sell it. Forget it this time. Anyway, when the time comes, we will just have to eat. However, after not interacting with you humans for a few years, I didn't expect you humans to have become so strong. What level of warrior is that fellow just now? Looking at his attire, he should be a very ordinary warrior. "
Nian Bing glanced at Garamandis. She said, "If he is an ordinary warrior among the humans. Koupa, the Realm of the Gods that you mentioned will not be able to remain mysterious for long. There are less than ten Radiant Knights of his level in the entire continent. His strength is close to that of Swordsman's. Although I don't know much about the continent's martial arts world, but until now, that wandering Gilded Blade is the third Swordsman I have seen. What kind of position do you think he has among the human warriors? "
Garamandis chuckled and said, "If that is the case, the caravan he led just now must have transported a lot of good stuff. Otherwise, why would Swordsman be mobilized?"
Nian Bing nodded and said, "I'm afraid so. Being a mercenary is not a noble occupation on the continent. Warriors with high martial arts would usually not join a mercenary group. Just now, he called himself the Blade King Mercenary Group. I think, hmph, that might be a fake. As for what he was transporting, I can't guess. It should be very precious. "
Garamandis turned around and looked at the back of the caravan, "What a pity, what a pity. I'll give you some face this time. However, I still want to drink Ice Fire Level 8 Seafood. You know that I love eating fish the most. "
"Sure, no problem. When we reach Auland City, I will definitely think of a way to let you eat your fill."
As they got closer and closer to the Ottoman Empire's former capital, Auland City, the number of people on the road gradually increased. Most of them were poor people who always wore simple clothes. Most of them were disheveled and had a sallow complexion. Without a doubt, this was the result of war. As long as there was war, the unluckiest ones would naturally be the commoners.
"Nian Bing, I'm hungry." Garamandis was like a child as he leaned close to Nian Bing.
Nian Bing smiled bitterly and said, "Then you can eat me. Didn't you say that there would be no problem if I didn't eat for a few months? I think you're not hungry, you're just craving food. "
Garamandis chuckled and said, "You know me so well! Anyway, it's fine as long as you help me solve the problem. Hmm, how about this, I'll help you catch some wild beasts and you roast them for me to eat. "
Nian Bing shook her head and said, "No need. We should be reaching Auland soon. When we get there, let's eat something first. Just bear with it for a while."
"Bear with it? I, Si Qing, have been bearing with it for three days. You, on the other hand, are satisfied with just some dry rations every day. As for me, I haven't even eaten anything edible. Auland City, right? Let's go now. " A familiar yet incomprehensible incantation sounded beside Nian Bing. Garamandis was completely oblivious to the fact that there were many commoners around him. Under the cover of the silver light, he and Nian Bing's bodies disappeared in a flash.
"This is the right direction, right?" Garamandis' voice sounded beside Nian Bing's ear.
Nian Bing discovered that she was currently in a strange space. Everything around her was silver, and nothing could be seen. "How would I know? I can't even see clearly right now."
Garamandis chuckled and said, "It should be right. However, I've been using Spatial Magic for a long time, so I'm a little rusty. I hope we're not in the wrong place."
With a flash of silver light, the surrounding scenery appeared. Nian Bing was surprised to find that there was actually nothing around her other than Garamandis. She subconsciously looked down and was stunned for a moment. In the next moment, a strong feeling of weightlessness spread throughout her body.
Bang! She fell heavily to the ground, scaring the surrounding pedestrians and causing them to scatter in all directions. All of them looked at her in shock.
After falling heavily, her entire body felt like it was falling apart. Nian Bing jumped up from the ground and cursed loudly, "Garamandis, you bastard, what kind of lousy magic is this? “
The silver light once again wrapped around Nian Bing's body. Under the shocked gazes of the surrounding people, she disappeared into thin air. When she reappeared, she was already in a deserted corner.
Garamandis appeared in front of her and chuckled, "Sorry, my, my mistake. I forgot that you can't fly, so I teleported you into the sky. Fortunately, you won't die from a height of ten Zhang. It's hard to say if you want to walk a hundred Zhang. " It turned out that when Nian Bing discovered that there was nothing around her, she was suspended in midair. Once she lost control of her Spatial Magic, her body would naturally fall. However, even she was very surprised. After falling from a height of ten Zhang, other than some pain all over her body, she didn't groan too badly. Is this still a human's body?
"Serves you right. Who asked you to not let me eat good food for the past few days. This is still considered light. Next time, I'll go higher. This should be the Auland City that you spoke of. You should think of a way to get me something to eat. "
Nian Bing calmed herself down and looked around. As expected, this was clearly a city. The architectural style of the city was completely different from the Ice Moon Empire. Most of the buildings in the Ice Moon Empire had pointed roofs, but here, there were very few tall buildings. Most of them were one-story houses. Looking around the corner, although there were many pedestrians on the road, there were also a frightening number of beggars. Almost every three or four Zhang, there would be one or two beggars sitting on the ground begging. Is this the capital of the Ottoman Empire? How did it end up in such a state?
Nian Bing didn't know that among the five empires of the Yangon Continent, the Ottoman Empire was surrounded by four other empires. Other than the Ice Moon Empire, the Langmu Empire, Huarong Empire, and Kiru Empire all coveted it. They viewed the Ottoman Empire as the best piece of fat meat. However, the empires kept each other in check. Together with the Ice Moon Empire's inclination towards the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire didn't perish. However, the territory around it had decreased by a lot.
Being harassed by the other three empires for many years, the Ottoman Empire focused most of its energy on war. Large amounts of the empire's resources were also used here, causing the development of the Ottoman Empire to slow down. Not to mention a powerful country like the Huarong Empire, even the Ice Moon Empire was much stronger than it. Thus, Auland's wealth was differentiated by region. The closer to the Eight Ice Empires, the more prosperous it was. The closer to the south to the Huarong and Kiru Empires, the more barren it was. Auland City was located in the center of the empire. Compared to Ulan City, its conditions were slightly inferior. It was just that the area it occupied was much larger.
"What do we eat? If there's anything good to eat, hurry up and bring me there! "Garamandis wasn't a dragon that liked to wait.
"Alright, eat. Eat until you die. I still have a dozen gold coins from that vagrant. It's enough for you to eat a few meals. Let's go and look for a restaurant. " The two of them walked out from the corner. After identifying the direction, Nian Bing brought Garamandis to the center of Auland City. There should be a place to eat there.
The closer they got to the center of Auland City, the fewer beggars there were. There were many shops in the surroundings. Although they weren't big, they still looked somewhat prosperous.
After walking for a short distance, they finally saw a restaurant. Without waiting for Nian Bing to say anything, Garamandis had already walked over quickly. The restaurant looked ordinary from the outside. There wasn't even a receptionist for the six of them. When the two of them entered the restaurant, it was already close to noon. About seventy percent of the customers were already seated. Nian Bing pulled Garamandis to a table near the window. Garamandis had always been interested in human restaurants. He looked around, especially when he saw the food on the other tables. He was almost drooling.
"What would the two of you like to eat?" A waiter walked over and asked politely.
Nian Bing and Garamandis looked to be about the same age. Although their temperaments were different, the two of them were both handsome. Garamandis exuded a faint domineering aura. Nian Bing, on the other hand, was wearing ordinary clothes because she practiced magic. However, she exuded a high school aura.
Garamandis said without hesitation, "Just serve whatever good food you have. It's enough for ten people."
"Ten people?" The waiter looked at him in surprise.
Garamandis said impatiently, "Just serve when I tell you to. Hurry up. Are you afraid that we won't be able to pay?"
The waiter nodded his head. He hurried over.
Nian Bing said in a low voice, "Great Garamandis, when you eat later, please be more refined." He had a deep understanding of Garamandis's table manners. Before coming here, they had once eaten in a restaurant in a small town. Garamandis's almost crazy table manners had scared many people.
"What's there to be refined about? Eat your fill first. "Garamandis wouldn't listen to Nian Bing.
Nian Bing was helpless. He had to tell everyone the truth. He didn't know this big eater in front of him. However, his life seemed to be more important. He had to endure. He didn't say anything else and turned his attention to the side. At this moment. The guests at the table closest to them were talking. Their voices were very loud, and Nian Bing could hear them clearly.
"Have you heard? Duke Bluefeather has already returned. "
"Duke Bluefeather is back? Don't we need him to defend? Without him leading the army, what if Hua Rong and Kiru attack again? "
Hearing these two sentences, Nian Bing couldn't help but perk up. Wasn't Duke Bluefeather's residence the target of Luo Rou's misfortune?
"Of course we don't need to defend. It's said that under the mediation of the Ice Moon Empire, the matter has been resolved. The Hua Rong Empire and the Kiru Empire both agreed not to invade our country for three years. Of course, our Auland also paid a heavy price. The Hua Rong Empire and the Kiru Empire are like a tiger and a wolf. Who knows how much of our country's resources they've stolen this time. "
"Sigh, I knew the final result would be like this. It's either ceding land or paying reparations. Auland is almost finished."
"Shh, lower your voice. It won't be good if the soldiers hear you. Sigh, our Ottoman Empire is still supported by Duke Bluefeather. If he didn't lead the Silver Feather Knights to fight desperately, Hua Rong and Kiru would have attacked long ago. We can't stay here anymore. If we can't, we'll all move to another place. That place is closer to the Ice Moon Empire. The Ice Moon Empire won't just watch as Auland is destroyed. If the Huarong Empire is a little stronger, the situation of the entire continent might change.
"You can't say that. I don't think the Ice Moon Empire has any good intentions. They only need to invite that Ice Goddess Priestess to help them. The Huarong Empire wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. Our Ottoman Empire has too few mages. We'll be bullied by the price. The Hua Rong and Kiru Empires have already taken over so much land, yet they still want to expand. They're really ambitious! Actually, if Auland was ruled by Duke Bluefeather, we might be able to change the current situation. Unfortunately, Duke Bluefeather is too loyal to the royal family. It's almost impossible. "
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Politics has nothing to do with us commoners. Let's drink."
The conversation stopped for a moment. The guests at the table continued eating and drinking. From their words, it wasn't hard to tell the status of Duke Bluefeather in the Ottoman Empire. Nian Bing thought to herself. Luo Rou, oh Luo Rou, you still expect the daughter of Duke Bluefeather to help you? The Ottoman Empire can't even take care of itself right now. Forget it. No matter what, I don't have to do what I promised. I've already completed my mission by sending the letter over. However, from the words of these people, it seems that this Duke Bluefeather is the commander of the Silver Feather Knights. Auntie Yu Ruyan was protected by the Silver Feather Knights back then. Maybe this Duke even knows Auntie Yu Ruyan. It would be great if I could meet her through him. After so many years, I wonder how Auntie is doing now.
Thinking of Yu Ruyan's kind smile, Nian Bing's heart couldn't help but warm up. He stood up and walked over to the table of guests. Facing a man in a white robe, he asked, "Big brother, may I trouble you for a moment?"
The man in white was drinking when he heard Nian Bing's voice. He couldn't help but look up. Nian Bing's handsome appearance gave people a good impression. Coupled with his sincere and polite tone, the man in white asked, "Little brother, what do you want to ask? Judging from your accent, you must be from another city. "
Nian Bing nodded, "I'm from the Ice Moon Empire. Can I ask how to get to Duke Bluefeather's residence?
The man in white was obviously shocked. He sized up Nian Bing. "You want to find Duke Bluefeather? Little brother. I think you want to join the army. Then you should go to the military. Not just anyone can meet Duke Bluefeather. "
Nian Bing put on a respectful expression and said, "Duke Bluefeather has always been my idol and the person I respect the most. I just want to know where his residence is. Maybe I can wait outside his door and see him when he comes out. "
The man in white heard Nian Bing's words and his expression became much better. He nodded approvingly, "Not bad. Duke Bluefeather can be said to be the guardian of our Auland Empire! Without him, the Ottoman Empire wouldn't even be able to maintain its current state. There are many young people like you. However, whether you can meet the Duke or not depends on your luck. The Duke's residence is in the south of the city, in Auland City. Apart from the palace, Duke Bluefeather's residence is the largest. You can find it anywhere in the south of the city. "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Thank you for your guidance." With that, he returned to his seat.
"Nian Bing, you didn't bring me to Auland City to eat good food, did you?" Garamandis' dissatisfied voice sounded.
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Of course. Why wouldn't it be? However, I have some personal matters to attend to. A friend asked me to deliver a letter. Don't worry, it won't take up too much time. "
"Deliver a letter! That's fine, but you have to remember that you have my magic imprint on you. It's impossible for you to run away. " Garamandis' eyes suddenly turned red. He looked at Nian Bing with deep meaning, as if saying, Kid, I'll eat you up in the future.
Nian Bing shook his head helplessly and said in a low voice, "It's my honor to be with the great Garamandis. Why would I run away? Don't worry. After eating, we'll find a place to stay. I'll deliver the letter in the afternoon. If you don't like it here, we'll go to the Huarong Empire tomorrow. The Huarong Empire is the strongest and most prosperous empire in the Yangon Continent. There's no lack of good food there. "
Two hours later. Nian Bing walked out of the restaurant with Garamandis with a bitter face.
"Ptui, ptui, ptui, what kind of shitty restaurant is this? The food is disgusting. Nian Bing! Your cooking is still better than theirs. "Garamandis was extremely dissatisfied with the restaurant's food.
"Boss, you should hurry up and scold them. You didn't eat any less just now, and they were all the most expensive dishes. We only have two gold coins left, which is probably enough to stay in the restaurant. It seems that I really need to find a job to support you."
Garamandis said as if it was a matter of course, "Although it's disgusting, I still need to eat my fill. If you want to find a job, go ahead. As long as there's good food, I don't care where you stay."
Hearing Nian Bing say so, instead of getting angry, Nian Bing was overjoyed. She lowered her head, and a light flashed in her eyes that Garamandis was unable to detect. The word "use" continuously reverberated in Nian Bing's mind.
Although Garamandis had high requirements for food, he did not have any particular preferences for accommodation. As long as he could find a bed to sleep on, he would be fine. After eating his fill, sleeping had always been one of his favorite things to do. The two found the cheapest inn and settled down. Garamandis went to sleep, while Nian Bing used one of the two gold coins she had on her to buy the cheapest ten Blank Magic Scrolls in a magic shop.
Selling magic scrolls was probably the fastest way to earn money. With the way Garamandis ate, there were probably not many people who could afford to support him.
Nian Bing's attainments in magic arrays had also greatly improved due to the improvement of the Ice and Fire Homology. Although the success rate of producing Blank Magic Scrolls into Magic Scrolls was slightly lower, she only needed to produce a few ordinary Tier 4 Magic Scrolls. Including the trigger effect, it was not a difficult task. This Auland City was truly poor. She would just sell a few Magic Scrolls for some money. It would be fine as long as she had enough to spend.
It only took Nian Bing an hour to craft a few scrolls. Aside from one that failed due to carelessness, Nian Bing had successfully crafted nine Tier 4 Trigger Scrolls. Mandis's dragon snort was truly loud. Nian Bing glanced at him before stealthily slipping out of the room. According to the information he had gathered, he headed towards the south of Auland City.
There was no hurry to sell the Magic Scrolls. She would first deliver the letter. Just as the white-clothed man in the restaurant had said, finding the Duke of Bluefeather's Mansion in Auland City was not a difficult task. After arriving at the southern part of the city, Nian Bing only needed to ask one person to find her destination. Two streets away, she could already see the two-zhang-tall crimson courtyard wall. The Duke of Bluefeather's Mansion occupied a large area. The two-zhang-tall crimson courtyard wall was like a city wall. At the entrance, sixteen Silver Feather Knights dressed in silver light armor stood in two neat rows. The feathers on their helmets were all green, and each of them had their hands on their swords. Although their eyes were focused, Nian Bing could clearly feel that they were constantly observing their surroundings. The moment there was any movement, these Silver Feather Knights would be able to react quickly.
Sixteen low-ranked Silver Feather Knights. That was equivalent to sixteen Swordmaster level warriors! Who said that the Ottoman Empire was weak? Just the ten thousand Silver Feather Knights were probably only comparable to the Huarong Empire's Order of the Flaming Lion. No wonder the commoners said that the Duke of Bluefeather was the protector of the Ottoman Empire. The Silver Feather Knights were definitely comparable to an ordinary army of two hundred thousand!
Inside the Grand Duke's Mansion.
A handsome middle-aged man in his forties was sitting behind the secretary's desk. His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something troubling him. Although this person was sitting, he would inadvertently reveal a strong aura of agility and austere killing intent. The light in his eyes was constantly flashing, and the black robe on his body was unable to cover up his stalwart body. His hands on the desk were very unique. His palms were wide and thick, and his fingers were long and slender. Although the joints were not prominent, one could tell from the appearance that they were definitely a pair of very powerful hands.
Outside the door, a person walked in. A gentle and pleasant voice sounded. "You're back. What did His Majesty say today? "
The middle-aged man looked up. The person who walked in was a woman. She looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She wore a light blue dress with beautiful patterns embroidered on it with silver thread. Her eyebrows were arched, and her nose was delicate. Her skin was as smooth as cream, and her long dark green hair draped over her back like a waterfall. It was tied up with a silver ring. Her blue eyes were crystal clear, and her beautiful face showed a bit of concern and worry. If Nian Bing saw her, she might not be able to recognize her immediately. She was Yu Ruyan, the one who gave her the Tianhua Token. Eight years had passed, but her appearance had not changed at all.
