At noon the next day, Shen Chai, Shen Xiaohei and Tang Shishi said goodbye to Shen Guodong and his wife and embarked on the return journey of the Magic Continent.
"Stinky boy, be kind to other girls" Chen Xiuzhen said angrily to Shen Chai, after nearly a month of getting along, she really likes Shen Xiaohei and Tang Shishi more and more now, and all kinds of good dishes are made for them every day, which makes Shen Chai a little bit vinegar.
"Hey, let me ask you, is there polygamy in the Magic Continent?"
Chen Xiuzhen asked in Shen Chai's ear, she looked at the two of them like her daughters-in-law, and she was reluctant to give up either.
"Mom, what are you talking about" Shen Chai replied with a wry smile, "I'm only fifteen years old, so you're in a hurry to hold your grandson."
"Okay, okay, stinky boy," Chen Xiuzhen said angrily, "But ugly words can be said ahead, in my eyes, Xiao Hey and Shishi are already my daughters-in-law, you can show the old lady to do it."
Shen Chai was speechless for a moment, "Yes, yes, all the girls in the world are your daughters-in-law."
After reluctantly saying goodbye to their parents, Shen Chai and the three of them first returned to the Gruss Academy of Magic through the teleportation array in warehouse No. 6, and then came to Saitu City, an important town on the southwest border of the Magic Alliance, through the teleportation array in the square.
The Iron Hammer Tribe is located two hundred miles west of Saitu City, which is no longer the territory of the Magic Alliance, but the distance between the two sides is not too far, and even if there is no teleportation array, the inhabitants of the two places can trade.
The city is divided into an inner city and an outer city, and two tall and thick ancient walls enclose the entire town into two circles.
Those who teleport to Saitu City from the Magic Alliance will appear under the walls of the inner city, and can then enter the inner city through the four gates of east, west, south, and north.
Those who teleport to Saitu City from outside the territory of the Magic Alliance will appear under the outer city walls, and will need to pass through the area between the inner and outer walls to reach the inner city gate, and finally enter the inner city.
Shen Chai, Tang Shishi, and Shen Xiaohei were teleported under the inner city walls, and as soon as they left the teleportation array, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
I saw a wall about 20 meters high rising from the ground, forming an arc to enclose the entire inner city.
The walls are made entirely of hard granite, each one meter square, with very small gaps between the rocks, no more than a finger wide.
Due to its age, the walls of the city have been covered with green and yellow moss, and most of the gaps and traces caused by previous battles have been covered under the moss.
The vicissitudes of life will always be hidden by the years, intentionally or unintentionally.
What shocked Shen Chai and the three of them was not only the tall and majestic city wall, but also the solemn and desolate atmosphere of the entire Saitu City under the afterglow of the setting sun.
The blue smoke of the beacon tower on the city wall reached into the sky, and magicians in black suits walked by with steady steps, their sharp eyes like eagles and falcons constantly scanning the passers-by below the city.
This picture reminded Shen of an ancient poem: The desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the sun sets on the long river.
According to the original route, Shen Chai and the three of them were going to pass through the area between the inner and outer city walls and reach the teleportation array under the outer city wall, but now that it was getting dark, they decided to enter the inner city first to stay overnight, and then teleport to the Iron Hammer Tribe early tomorrow morning.
The gate of the inner city is about ten meters high and five meters wide, enough for two carriages to pass side by side, and the heavy gate is made of unknown materials, and a complex magic array is carved on it.
There were five burly gatekeepers standing on the left and right of the city gate, and judging from the magic fluctuations on their bodies, there were two magicians among them, and their strength was probably around the middle and early level.
Both magicians were dressed in black suits, with a cyan wolf head embroidered on their chests, which looked up to the sky and roared, with an air of arrogance and murder.
At this moment, they were standing quietly on both sides of the door with their eyes closed, giving people an unshakable feeling, which was not brought by magical strength, but the unique temperament accumulated after a hundred battles.
When Shen Chai and the three of them passed through the city gate, they all felt a spiritual power sweeping through their bodies, and that feeling was seen through from the inside out.
Most of the caravans came and went on the streets, they were all wrapped in robes, commanding wildebeest and white camels to carry full supplies slowly, this first-order demonic beast has a docile personality and good endurance, and it is an excellent load tool.
"The atmosphere in this Saitu City is so oppressive, it's still far from the Borderlands, but it feels like war is going to happen at any time."
Tang Shishi pouted while looking at the markets on both sides of the street, this dull air made her feel very insecure.
The market in Saitu City is very simple, the façade is made of all granite, and most of the animals sold in it are some animal skins, salt, herbs, etc., and the hard currency here is dry food and wine.
Dry food is a life-saving thing, and it is a war resource in times of war, and wine is the best medicine to relieve depressed nerves.
Shen Chai and the three of them can occasionally see one or two iron shops, and there is a "clanging" sound of striking iron from time to time.
The walls of the iron shop are hung with medieval iron swords and horseshoes, the most expensive of which are weapons depicted with simple demon-breaking formations, although these weapons are far from the level of magicians, but they do have a certain demon-breaking effect on them.
For scavengers and caravans begging for a living in the Frontier, the price of the magic guide is simply unacceptable to them, and it is easy to be targeted with such valuables.
And this simple demon-breaking weapon has become everyone's best choice, it will not be like a garbage iron weapon, not even the skin of the monster can be pierced, let alone the hair of the dark magician.
"The atmosphere here is indeed very tense, everyone should be careful," Shen Chai reminded with a slight frown, and as he said he grabbed Shen Xiaohe's hand tighter.
Because Shen Chai saw that almost all the vendors and pedestrians on the street were glancing at Tang Shishi and Shen Xiaohe, and there were even some strong men who were striking iron whistling at them with lewd faces, showing off their strong figures and dark muscles unabashedly.
In this oppressive frontier place, wine and women are always the best way to relax, and if it weren't for the ban, I am afraid that not even a sow would be seen here.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly broke out in the street ahead.
A loud beast roar was heard, and the pedestrians in the street screamed and aside, and then the whole street shook to the sound of heavy footsteps.
"Knock Knock" Every sound trampled on the hearts of the people.
