The caravan continued on its journey, heading towards Fenlai City.
On the way, Carmon and the others all had complicated looks on their faces. Their faces were much paler than before. After all, they had all suffered countless injuries in the previous battle, and they were also guessing about the Carlo clan.
"Uncle Carmon, can you tell us more about this Carlo clan?"
Within the carriage, Li Yue poked his head out and asked the group in a loud voice.
He asked this question partly out of curiosity, and partly because he wanted to ease the tension in the hearts of Carmon and the others. After all, rather than keeping things bottled up in one's heart, one might as well say it out loud. After saying it out loud, one would naturally feel much more relaxed.
"Li, what's up with you, kid? Curious about the Carlo clan? "
"Right!" Li Yue nodded. "I'm a bit curious. After all, it was luck that allowed me to acquire this battle-qi manual. I want to learn more about it!"
"Might as well, might as well!" Carmon's eyes were unfocused, and his tone was uncertain. After pausing for a moment, he organized his thoughts, then slowly rode his horse to Li Yue's carriage.
"You should know that our Fenlai City belongs to the Holy Alliance, and is the most powerful kingdom in the Holy Alliance. Within the kingdom, there are many experts, and many clans. Every single noble has their own territory and their own legacies!"
"Some nobles are hereditary, and their legacies are ancient. Their territories are vast, and they have many experts. Thus, even though they don't have high ranks, their power is still astonishing!"
"The Carlo clan is one of them. Their territory is in the Windy River Gorge on the east side of the Kingdom of Fenlai. It occupies an area of tens of kilometers, and is located in an excellent location, between two enormous mountain ranges. It is easy to defend, but hard to attack."
"Supposedly, the Carlo clan has existed for nearly a thousand years. Long, long ago, they were one of the major hereditary nobles of Fenlai City. Their power has long since reached an unfathomable level!"
"The emblem of the Carlo clan is a black panther. According to legend, this is a Saint-level magical beast – the emblem of the Blackpattern Panther. The ancestor of the Carlo clan was once a Saint-level combatant, and his contracted magical beast was the Blackpattern Panther. Thus, the Blackpattern Panther became the emblem of the Carlo clan! "
"Saint-level combatant?" Li Yue was startled.
"That's right, but there's no need to worry. It is said that the ancestor of the Carlo Family has died long ago. Otherwise, why would the Carlo Family only be a count?"
"But even so, the Carlo Family must have 9th Level Warriors and powerful Magicians. They will be very difficult to deal with!"
"The 'River Wind Secret Manual' is one of the secret manuals passed down in the Carlo Clan. Normally, only the direct descendants of the clan can teach it. Its power is astonishing, so it's quite famous. I only heard about it from a friend by chance!"
Carmon sighed, "Now that we've luckily obtained the River Wind Secret Technique, this is indeed a great fortune, but it's also a great danger."
"Those mercenaries had the emblem of the Carlo Family on them, and they seemed to be in a hurry. They were even carrying the secret classics of their family. It was obvious that they had stolen them!"
"I just don't know how those guys did it!"
Carmon said. However, all of this was no longer important now. Now that the "Secret Guide of River Wind" was in their hands, the situation had suddenly become very complicated.
To be honest, when faced with this kind of high level Dou Qi method, no one would be able to give it up, Carmon was no exception, but … he didn't dare to practice it.
He was very hesitant.
"Under normal circumstances, commoners like us will never be able to obtain a Dou Qi secret manual in our entire lives, let alone a high level one. If we practice it and people find out that we have Dou Qi, and high quality Dou Qi … we will definitely be suspected!"
It was too dangerous.
Although the River Wind Secret Manual was extremely tempting, in the current situation, it was like a hot potato. Carmon was hesitant, he didn't know if he should give it up or not.
"Sigh!"
He sighed, "If it was twenty years ago, I would definitely give up. Because at that time, I didn't have a family, I didn't have a child, I didn't have a wife, I wasn't afraid of being alone!"
"But now, for my wife and child … I really don't want to take this risk!"
Uncle Carmon's heart slowly calmed down. The initial joy and fear of obtaining the Dou Qi secret manual had slowly faded away. Now, he was more rational to analyze the pros and cons.
"Not only me, I think Ryle and the others are thinking the same. After all, we still have family … We can't take this risk!"
"But Li, you are different. You are a genius, and you will definitely enter a warrior academy to further your studies. Thus, you can train without any worries. After all, the students of the warrior academy will be taught basic Dou Qi techniques. You are different from us, different …"
Uncle Carmon mumbled to himself. His voice grew softer and softer, and he grew more and more silent. Not too far away, Ryle and the others, who had been listening to their conversation, also fell silent, deep in thought.
….
And so, on the road, Li Yue and Uncle Carmon chatted for a long time. Uncle Carmon told him many things, and imparted many experiences to him.
The carriage rumbled forward, and they finally arrived at Fenlai around five in the afternoon. It was already evening.
"We're finally here!"
Outside the carriage, Uncle Carmon's voice rang out. "Li, get off the carriage. Come take a look at Fenlai City. This should be your first time here, right? I hope you won't be shocked!"
Fenlai City was the capital of the Kingdom of Fenlai.
It was also the Holy Capital of the Holy Alliance. The headquarters of the Radiant Church was located in the western part of Fenlai City.
The entire Fenlai City was divided into two major parts, the eastern part and the western part. The eastern part was administered by the Kingdom of Fenlai, while the western part was administered by the Radiant Church. Because Fenlai City was both the capital and the Holy Capital, Fenlai City was one of the most prosperous cities in the entire Yulan continent.
Fenlai City occupied an extremely large area, and had over a million residents. In the entire Yulan continent, it was one of the top five largest cities.
Within the carriage, Li Yue, hearing Uncle Carmon's words, chuckled softly. Although he had never been here before, Fenlai City probably wasn't enough to shock him.
After all, in his memories, his original body had seen far, far too many majestic cities in the universe. Fenlai City?
That was nothing.
After exiting the carriage, Li Yue followed Uncle Carmon and the others, slowly entering the city.
This was the eastern part of Fenlai City. The main street was the Fragrant Pavilion Avenue. The entire avenue was bustling with activity, and people were coming and going.
As far as the eye could see, the entire Fragrant Pavilion Avenue was paved with smooth limestone, and was wide enough for multiple carriages to pass side by side. On either side of the avenue, there were hotels, clothing stores, weapon stores, bars, and all sorts of other businesses.
At the same time, on either side of the avenue, there was a neat row of pine and cypress trees.
Noblewomen and young ladies were all dressed in fashionable clothing, chatting and laughing as they strolled through the streets. It was a beautiful sight.
"Li, what do you think of Fenlai City? In our Holy Union, Fenlai City is the number one city. " As Carmon walked through the streets, he saw some warriors, and occasionally one or two magi. Sighing, he said, "Li, do you see that? In Fenlai City, powerful warriors and magi are very common."
"This is a paradise for the rich and the powerful."
"But given your talent and power, Li, I imagine that in a few decades, you'll become a major figure in Fenlai City. Hahaha!"
Carmon laughed loudly. His boorish voice attracted the attention of many people, who looked at them as though they were country bumpkins.
A few decades? Li Yue chuckled, but didn't reply.
"Let's go. Don't worry about anything else. It's getting late. Let's find an inn to rest for the night!"
As he spoke, Uncle Carmon pulled the carriage with practiced ease, leading Li Yue and the others to the left side of the main street.
On the bustling Fragrant Pavilion Avenue, luxurious carriages would often pass by. There were also quite a few luxurious inns and restaurants, but the prices here were very high. Clearly, this wasn't a good place for them.
Fortunately, Carmon had been here many times. Naturally, he knew where the cheap inns were in Fenlai City. After turning left and right, they soon arrived at an ordinary inn.
After parking the carriage and inspecting the goods, Carmon led Li Yue and the others into the inn.
