Chapter 19 Looking to the Sky
"..."When Wang Man heard the leader's question, he didn't say anything. He now focused all his energy on his mother. He watched the herbalist treat him bit by bit, and was a little focused.
The leader was beside him, watching Wang Man think for a while, and continued to chat with him all the time.
Time passed slowly, and a quarter of an hour later, the herbalist simply treated Wang Man's mother's wound, "If you want to treat it thoroughly, you have to go to the city."
The herbalist looked up and said after a while.
"Thank you for your hard work." Wang Man bowed to express his gratitude.
"Well, you have to be polite. The convoy has been delayed for so long. Just go into the car with your mother. Our business does not want to delay here for too long." Seeing that the boss had finished busy here, he urged Wang Man to get on the car.
The convoy is a medium-sized convoy, with more than a dozen horses and three-headed giant lizards, most of which are pulling cars, filled with all kinds of commodities and miscellaneous items - the scales and claws of wild beasts, and spice ores. They are watched by dozens of strong guards. If the grooms and pharmacists and other miscellaneous people are counted, there will probably be hundreds of people.
Under the leadership of the leader, Wang Man entered the back of a carriage pulled by a giant lizard and settled his mother down.
Afterwards, the convoy continued to drive slowly.
About twenty minutes later, Wang Man saw a huge city full of wilderness through the car window - the city was very large and the city walls were very high. The city was made of bluestone. On the high city tower, there was a huge python's head hanging - the head was as big as a whole city gate, and it was "inlaid" on the city tower by half piled up and half hanging, like decorations, but exuding a terrifying atmosphere.
"This is the king of the mountain basin in the past, and the head of the Wangtian python. At that time, there was no human city in the mountain basin. It was the immortal masters of the Six Gates who destroyed the Wangtian python, so humans were able to move in here. Later, tens of thousands of years ago, a sect established a city here, so they simply hung the head of the Wangtian python here to shock monsters." When they came to the city, the leader saw Wang Man looking at the huge python head, and explained while observing his expression.
"So that's the case." Wang Man nodded.
"Well, there are still many stories about Shanlong City. When I have time, I will tell you slowly. I have to pay the city tax now. When I go to the city at night, the tax rate will be increased. Alas..." While muttering, the leader jumped out of the lizard car and followed the convoy to the bottom of the city tower.
Then Wang Man saw the soldiers guarding in front of the city gate and on the city tower - various armors, with vigorous energy and blood. Anyone who came out could beat several of the most powerful tribal warriors like Wang Jian, and the generals who guarded the city were even more unfathomable.
"Are these people from the Wang family?" Wang Man observed the soldiers guarding the city while estimating the strength of the Wang family's inner palace.
The Wang family is the overlord of hundreds of kilometers around, and has hundreds of tribes of different sizes under it, but the Wang family owns only this one.
Therefore, almost all the power of the Wang family's inner palace is here - and as a city that has established itself on the wild continent, the soldiers and generals who guard the city must be the most elite part - because the guard here is not like the ancient times of the earth, as long as there is no war, it is like a child's play.
In a city that is based on humans in the wilderness, you must be prepared to be attacked by monsters or even monsters at any time. Therefore, the soldiers guarding the city are the most elite soldiers, and correspondingly, the soldiers guarding the city are all the most powerful people in the city.
Because they are not only capable, but also take into account the most dangerous position.
Their nobility can be seen from the attitude of the leader of the business nodding and bowing to the tax on entering the city.
"Yes, sir, our Shijin Caravan has never caused trouble. Yes, don't worry. Yes, there are a total of 105 people, no more or less, you can check them one by one!" The leader bent his burly body, took out his animal skin cube and took out gold nuggets and stone coins from it.
One gold nugget is equal to one hundred stone coins. The stone coins are produced by six doors, and no one dares to forge them.
After paying the tax on entering the city, the leader hurriedly called the convoy into the city. Although it was expensive to enter the city at night, it was because the number of people was small. Therefore, there were not many pedestrians when the carriage and giant lizard passed through the city gate, and it was orderly and not crowded at all.
As the city guards were watching the soldiers, the leader led the convoy into the city. While Wang Man was looking at his half-fainted mother, he looked at the city of this wild continent through the car window for the first time.
Huge, quaint, and a large population.
Most of the buildings are made of bluestone materials, with huge houses and even tall buildings. Wang Man doesn't know what materials and techniques are built without a pile driver, but it is obvious that the city in this world is not as backward as he imagined.
In the dark night, there were not many people outside the city, but after entering the city, there were really many people.
A city wall of more than ten meters apart, outside and inside are two worlds - outside the city is quiet, with few people's voices, only insects and toads, but inside the city is full of people, without any danger outside.
According to Earth time, it is now about ten o'clock in the evening, but Wang Man still saw many pedestrians on the streets, some walking, some rushing, some setting up stalls to sell things with luminescent stones, some leading a team of slaves on the streets, and even prostitutes recruiting business at the city gate.
"Oh, isn't this a carriage team of Shijin Trading Company?" As soon as the convoy entered the street, a few big-breasted women wearing leopard-skin brass stopped the convoy and recruited business on the street. "Captain Shi, you have been away for several months. Running merchants make money. How about it? Our people served us well in the last two months, right? This time I tell you that we have brought a lot of good-looking slaves from other tribes, from the thirteenth to the thirty-fourth, and you can play whatever you want. You can play as much as you have money. You have been running outside all year round. To put it blink, how can you enjoy more points in the blink of an eye? How can you lose yourself?"
"Haha, okay, after unloading the goods, I will bring my brothers here, I will bring my brothers here." The caravan leader laughed and pulled a prostitute's animal skin bra aside in the street. After grabbing it, he turned his head and shouted: "Brothers, unload the goods first, do the business, and make money later. I will bring my brothers here to play."
"Thank you! This is the best thing about running merchants. Although they are scared outside every day, they can make a lot of money when they enter the city. If you have money, you will have fun, and you won't lose money!"
