After five years of reconstruction, the inner city has undergone considerable changes.
The meeting hall has become a three-story giant occupying the center of the inner city, and the main business locations in the city, regardless of military or government, are basically concentrated here. The original medical room and school on both wings were cancelled, and the medical room was turned into a small hospital and moved to the west, forming a separate building.
There is a large piece of land in the east, from the river at the east back of the conference hall to the mermaid lake dug by the mermaid for Yan Mo’s treatment, all belong to the chief’s residence, but Yuanzhan is not like other chiefs who make their houses into tribes. He still lives in the original stone house hidden in the grove, but it has been expanded a lot, and the guard camp along the river has also expanded a lot.
What's interesting is that both schools are connected to the chief residence. The priest doesn't like to climb up and down the mountain every day, and this is where he lives most often.
By the way, the streets in front of the two schools are the two busiest streets in the inner city. In addition to the merchants with fixed storefronts, many students also like to set up street stalls here, selling some of the gadgets they made or the strange things they got out of the experience Putting it here for business, it is said that the leader and the priest like to stroll in these two streets even if they have nothing to do. For this reason, even people from outside the city like to run here.
The boy didn't seem to be in any hurry today, he was walking slowly on the commercial street in front of Zhan Mo Academy with a smile on his face.
There are many people on the road. In addition to ordinary humans and dwarves, there are also some other intelligent and non-intelligent creatures, such as the big bear of the Dona tribe, such as the snake-human tribe with a snake tail in the lower body, such as the Bianxi people who look like wolves, such as the British. Zhaozu, and some human beings with weird body parts. Everyone walking together is not afraid, nor does it exclude each other, it is a mess, very harmonious.
The young man can use various methods to bargain with each other or yell and sell, even if he does not understand some languages, but when he is in a hurry, he will shake his fist, open his mouth to bite or lick his hoof, so he can't help laughing.
After strolling around for a while, a cub who was naive and less than the boy's calf suddenly rolled out from the side of the road, clung to the boy's leg and refused to let go.
"Woohoo." The little bear rubbed his head, whimpering in a low voice with great grievances.
"What's the matter, little guy? Who bullied you?" The boy squatted down amusedly. Compared with humans, these animals are more sensitive. As long as they have been in contact with him once, many of them can remember him and recognize him without looking at his face. . Even if you haven't seen him, you can tell the difference between him and other humans.
The little guy hugged his leg with one paw, and stretched out the other paw, pointing in the direction where he ran out.
It just so happened that the people in the store probably noticed that the cub was missing, so they rushed out to look for it, but the cub pointed it right at him.
"Hey! That's mine, hurry up and give it to me... ah!" The dark-skinned little boy, about eight or nine years old, was very arrogant. Recognizing who the boy wearing the hat was, he was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run away.
"Xiao Hei! Stop!" The boy stood up.
Little Heiwa shook her body, slowly put her outstretched legs back to the original place, turned around, sprinted, and ran over to hug the boy like a bear cub, her expression and tone of voice changed instantly, and she shouted flatteringly: "Master, I miss you so much."
The young man, the priest of Jiuyuan, pinched his face and smirked, "You miss me so much after seeing each other for a day? Well, follow me today, and test your homework by the way."
Xiao Heiwa's expression collapsed quickly, and she hugged the boy's waist and shook, "Master, no, school is closed today, you can't deprive me of my proper right to rest."
Yan Mo cheered up Xiao Heiwa, "The reason I let you rest is to let you bully others? This is Xiong Bao from Na'alan's family, right? If you take him out, does his family know? Where's his brother? Where did you throw it again?"
Little Heiwa laughed, but didn't answer.
Yan Mo tapped his head lightly with his fingers, "Nonsense, that kid is only two years old, and he can't even say a word. What if something happens? Don't keep bullying people. If someone comes to complain again this time, I will let you go early. military school."
"Okay, I've wanted to go a long time ago, and the leader agreed. If it wasn't for Master, you kept saying that I'm still young, I would have gone a long time ago!" Xiao Heiwa's eyes lit up when he heard that he could go to the military academy.
"You really want to go?"
"En!" Xiao Hei Wa nodded vigorously.
Yan Mo was thinking about it, and Xiao Hei Wa added: "Can I take Xiong Bao with me?"
"No!" Yan Mo bent down and picked up the cubs, he was the one who delivered the two babies.
Little Xiong Cub was backed up, and he slapped Little Heiwa on the face.
Immediately, two red marks appeared on Little Heiwa's face, and he was not annoyed, he grabbed the little bear cub's little paw, opened his mouth and bit it.
The little bear cub whined in fright, turned around and hugged the priest's neck, refusing to look at little Heiwa again.
Little Heiwa is so cheap, he still pokes his ass when he sees him like this.
Yan Mo felt the little bear cub's discomfort, grabbed the little black baby's thief's paw, and said helplessly: "Little idiot, how can you like someone so much? You always bully others like this, even if you treat them well, they don't want to I care about you. Besides, you keep separating the two brothers!"
"Who told him that he only likes his brother and doesn't play with me."
"Idiot!" A childish but pretentious sneer suddenly appeared in Yan Mo's head.
Yan Mo... asked in his heart: "When will you come out?"
"Ask your son!" Wu Guo's voice was full of inexplicable anger. He seemed to be able to vaguely feel that even if he left Yan Mo's body, he might not be able to grow smoothly, unless the other half of the fruit could grow. It was because of this at the beginning that he tolerated the existence of another consciousness, and when he got used to the tolerance, he later sincerely regarded this idiot who only acted like a baby as his own brother, but this did not mean that he would not be angry.
Yan Mo was dumb, probably not because Dudu didn't want to come out, but because Dudu couldn't come out even if he didn't complete the guideline's requirement of subtracting all 100 million scum points.
However, the old Sama of the Feng family told him that the Wuguo in his body already had two complete independent consciousnesses, and he had no intention of hurting him. As long as they are willing to come out, they should be able to come out, but how to cultivate adults after they come out? , This point still needs to be consulted by the human-mian Kunpeng clan.
Now that Jiuyuan has entered a stage of stable development, Yan Mo thought, when Jiufeng wakes up after this upgrade and evolution, maybe he can ask him to help him take him to find the human-faced Kunpeng clan.
Here, Xiao Hei Wa didn't know that someone was despising him. He wanted to hug the cub, but the cub rolled himself into a ball and just ignored him. .
After a while, he came out again with a small jar in his hand, "Baby Xiong, look, what is this?"
Little Bear smelled the familiar sweet smell, couldn't resist his instinct, and couldn't help turning his head to look.
"Come on, let me hug you, and I'll eat it for you." Xiao Heiwa opened the honeypot to seduce him.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo " yelled at little black baby.
Yan Mo helped translate: "He said he would take his brother to eat with him, otherwise he won't play with you."
"Dad, I want to eat too." Dudu popped up.
But before Yan Mo could answer, Wu Guo yelled domineeringly: "What are you greedy for! When I go out, why can't I get you something delicious?"
Dudu murmured carelessly: "But now I want to eat what little black brother made."
Wu Guo was furious.
Yan Mole, after five years, although the two little guys have not been born, their thinking consciousness has become more and more clear, and they have grown a little bit more than before, and this undoubtedly makes him more urgent to let the two little guys Come to the world quickly.
In the end, Little Bear Cub still couldn't resist the temptation to Honey, and Xiao Heiwa promised to take him to find his brother, and when Xiao Heiwa reached out to hug him again, he didn't refuse again.
Although Xiao Heiwa is just a little boy, she is not weak at all. She held the chubby bear cub in one hand and the honey pot in the other, and ran away easily. Of course, he did not forget to give him The master saluted, and at the same time told him that the master should not forget to send him to the military academy.
Yan Mo smiled and shook his head, stuffed little Heiwa with a bag of bone coins as pocket money, patted his ass and told him to leave.
Nowadays, in order to facilitate the connection with other city forces, the currency system used in the tribe is also bone coins and Yuanjing coins, except that the bone coins are one hundred to one for the first-level Yuanjing coins, and the Yuanjing coins are ten to one.
Wu Guo groaned, quite jealous, he actually wanted to go out a long time ago, it seems more fun to become a human? Two years ago, a strange thing appeared in Yan Mo's hand that seemed to be very suitable for nurturing him and Dudu, but because someone who had obtained the fake witch fruit before found out that he had been fooled, he traced all the way to the vicinity of Jiuyuan. Yan Mo was afraid of accidents, and he didn't know how to cover his breath after going out, so he didn't dare to go out.
This is also the reason why Yan Mo wanted to seek advice from the Human-Mian Kunpeng Clan, because the old Sama of the Feng Clan said that when the Human-Mian Kunpeng was cultivating the Fruit of Witch Luck, almost no one noticed that the Fruit of Witch Luck was with them .
Dudu is also very envious of Xiao Heiwa's pocket money to buy delicious food. Does he seem to have watched a group of seniors grow up? Seeing that the smallest one among the senior brothers has changed from a little one who can only crawl on the ground to a little troublemaker who can do everything up and down the mountain, he is so envious. play.
Yan Mo patted his belly to reassure the two little ones, telling them that he would definitely find a way to make them born as soon as possible.
Dudu was greedy, and asked his father to buy several snacks.
Yan Mo sighed, no wonder pregnant women eat a lot, and their favorite food changes every day. Isn't this child's heart just like June Day. It's a pity that everything goes into his mouth, and he is the one who is fat. If Wu Guo didn't share all the nutrients in his body endlessly in his stomach, he might have become fat in the past two years.
Suddenly there was a commotion on the street, seeing the people in front of him stretching their heads to look behind him, Yan Mo also turned around, and then saw the honored guest who just arrived the day before yesterday, Princess Highness La Mona of Sound City.
His Royal Highness Ramona is already double ten. At the beginning, La Moling said that she had basically been settled by Huocheng, but the news later came that the prince of Huocheng had taken a fancy to Lamo for some reason when he went to Yincheng. The little princess Er, would rather break the original agreement and marry the little princess, but La Mole actually fell in love with her.
Ramona was double-betrayed, and heartbroken, she begged her parents to agree to the marriage proposal of the great prince of Fire City to Ramona, but she herself said that she would either not marry in the future, or marry someone she liked.
The Lord of Yincheng probably felt that he owed his eldest daughter, so he agreed to her plea, and with the support of the high priest of the temple, gradually let her involve in some major government affairs of Yincheng.
Ramona came to Jiuyuan this time, ostensibly for business, but the actual reason has not been revealed yet.
This is the first time that the Nine Great Upper Cities have sent envoys to Jiuyuan. The most senior of them all came to Shahai City, a Zhongcheng force subordinate to Tucheng, who clearly harbored malicious intentions.
Of course, there are people from the upper city and other influential people who came to Jiuyuan secretly, but they did not have the name of envoys, and it was difficult for them to enter the inner city.
Although the guards at the inner and outer city gates do not check pedestrians, they can clearly distinguish which are Jiuyuan people and which are outsiders, and those who are not ordinary pretenders should not even try to escape their eyes. And most of the characters in the big forces didn't bother to pretend when they came to the wild land, which made it easier to distinguish.
As for the identification method, it is very simple. Apart from familiarity, most of the people in Jiuyuan are tribal savages from wild lands. Most of these people have tribal tattoos or other marks on their faces. There are differences in shape, appearance and decoration.
Just like most people can tell who is a local and who is a foreigner, these specially trained city gate guards have even more vicious eyes.
"My lord!" A tall figure quickly approached the boy.
Yan Mo raised his head and smiled at the other party.
Yuan He sighed helplessly, walked to the side of the priest and said in a low voice, "Why did you come out without a guard? Where are those two boys, Ding Ning and Ding Fei?"
"You have all become my symbols. If I take you with me, everyone will know who I am, and I won't be able to wander around casually. Besides, I brought them with me." Yan Mo smiled and pointed to his shoulder, and saw a pair of familiar eyes The carnivorous bee brothers fluttered their wings at the river.
Yuan He was relieved when he saw Red Wing and Flying Thorn, but he still couldn't help but said, "Master Jiufeng is still in hibernation, and there are too few Red Wing and them by your side. This time, Yincheng sent people over." I don't know what the purpose is, it's better to bring more people with you when you come out, if you have something, what will Jiuyuan do?"
Yan Mo didn't want to embarrass his loyal leader of the guards, so he patted him on the shoulder and promised him, "Okay, I get it, I must bring at least two people with me next time I come out."
Yuan He felt that two people were few, and in his opinion, at least six people should be brought along, but he didn't want to be too restrictive, the priest, even the leader said that the priest can do whatever he wants, and he can't go too far, but he just Can't help worrying.
"The two boys in my family can also use it. The older one said that he wants to enter the military academy early this year, and when he comes out, he will guard the adults like me." Yuan He mentioned his two sons, with a smile on his face.
"Your family is only sixteen, right? Do you want to wait?"
Yuan He shook his head, with uncontrollable joy and pride in his tone, "He wants to take the test himself, and his ability is not bad. He just aroused his divine blood ability this morning. He can control the soil just like me. I don't expect him to be like me. The leader is just as powerful, as long as he grows up enough to be your shield. That kid is also good at martial arts, stronger than me at the beginning, already at the third level."
Yan Mo was thoughtful, "In the past few years, children have been eating well and training well, and there are indeed more breakthroughs than before, and earlier than before."
Yuan He looked at the young man, and said reverently, "It's all because of you, my lord. Without you, how could Jiu Yuan be where we are today?"
Yan Mo has heard a lot of similar words, his face has long been thickened, he didn't even blush, he raised his chin and pointed to the front, "Is this princess here to go shopping?"
Yuan He said in a deep voice: "My lord, I came here to tell you about this. Her Royal Highness did not know where she got the news that our Jiuyuan sells bone tools above level six. She ran out suddenly this time." I just want to see if we really sell bone tools here."
It turned out to be for bone implements. Yan Mo had a feeling that it was unexpected, that if the Jiuyuan warriors were to be strong, apart from improving their various abilities, it was also necessary to equip them with powerful weapons.
He has the complete heritage of the bone refining clan, so it would be strange if he didn't refine a bunch of bone tools to arm his tribal warriors.
In the past two years, because of his busy schedule, he couldn't spare much time. In the past three years, especially in the past two years, he has focused his energy on developing medicine and refining bone tools, because there are entire tribes and wild lands. As a warehouse, with the support of mermaids and dwarves, he refined a lot of bone tools. Among them, those with better quality were given as rewards to leaders or meritorious persons. For special or poor ones, he would occasionally set up a street stall in the city to sell them.
In addition, several of his disciples also learned from him to refine the fur of bone tools. Unfortunately, this thing may really require a certain talent. In the end, only Sa Yu, who wanted to join the special team, could refine some simple bone tools. , and several others will not work.
Xiao Hei is also a talent, he has strong soul power, Yan Mo wants to train him as a priest, but he is only interested in fighting, and after he can walk, he follows Da Da to practice those captive coolies all day long.
To make a digression, now the captives and coolies in the tribe are all managed and trained by Da Da, and they were actually trained by Da Da to form a team with strong will and extremely rogue style of play, and Da Da was promoted to a legion because of this long one.
As for the sixth-level bone vessel that leaked out, it has something to do with Sa Yu.
Since the kid started refining bone tools and was affirmed to be talented, Sa Yu himself has become very fond of tossing bones. Now many bone tools flowing out of the market are his handicrafts. Mom insisted on setting aside a place in her shop to sell his refined bone tools.
Because this kid's handicrafts are too rough, the things have not been sold there for a long time, his mother wants to clean up his handicrafts and is unwilling to give him another space, so he came here to beg He asked him to refine a few town treasures and put them in his mother's shop.
He was also bored at the time, and it was rare for Sa Yu to beg him for something, so he agreed. The sixth-level bone artifact is one of the treasures he gave to Sa Yu. The bone artifact is a bow and arrow. Although it reaches level six, it can also be inlaid with crystals to increase its power. One of the unsatisfactory works of ice-refined bows and arrows, the other unsatisfactory works were destroyed by him, and only this one can be kept for him.
Sa Yu got the bow and arrow and a few other gadgets, and carried them happily to his mother's shop. I don't know what he told his mother, but his mother was so cruel that she gave this baby shop, which is facing the gate of Zhanmo Academy, to him. After killing him—Yan Mo guessed that the little bastard must have used him as a banner.
Yuan Zhan found out about this later, so he simply took the street-facing store into Yan Mo's ownership, and compensated a larger street-facing store in the inner city for Sai Yu's family.
Yan Mo was too lazy to run the shop, so he handed over the shop to Si Xiao. The shop Xiao Hei entered just now was the one managed by them.
This shop has also become quite famous in Jiuyuan now. Whenever there is something new and special, this shop is always the first to have it. Sometimes some special products can only be bought in this shop, such as bone wares, For example, the new paper pen and ink.
Not much gossip, after that, because the asking price was too high, the bow and arrow was bought by a traveling merchant from the south at a high price until the end of last year. Yan Mo took Yuanjing coins and didn't take it seriously. After more than half a year, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Yincheng was attracted.
"Wu Chen and Ye Xing? Aren't they responsible for receiving Her Royal Highness this time?" Yan Mo asked.
Yuan He guessed, "They should have received the news, I think they will be here soon."
Yan Mo looked at His Royal Highness Ramona who was being led the way ahead and looked more luxurious and generous, "Let them take that princess directly to their store. Besides red salt, training methods and bone tools, we have a lot of good things in Jiuyuan. Such as porcelain, such as bamboo products, such as new paper pens and inks, etc. The first three are regulated and cannot be traded casually, but these are not available. You can strongly recommend them. I believe that our princess will be handed over by the dwarves. The paper that was made and dumped."
Jiuyuan has been able to make paper for a long time, but it was only recently brought out to cooperate with the slow-developing dwarves, but the dwarves are indeed good at making paper. It took them more than five years to make paper, and it was very beautiful when it came out. , and also produced a matching hard pen and ink, even Yan Mo couldn't pick out any thorns after reading it.
Now paper has gradually become popular in Jiuyuan, but for the time being, no one from the various forces outside knows that Jiuyuan has such a sharp commodity.
Yuan He nodded, understanding Yan Mo's meaning, but he was worried about Mr. Priest, and wanted the guards to step forward to protect him.
Yan Mo waved to him, "Don't worry, even if the princess sees me, she won't recognize who I am." He said to the public that he was offering sacrifices to the gods in the temple these days, and he hasn't seen the princess until today.
Yuan He had no choice but to leave because of his mission. The priest's guards who were originally scattered around quietly approached the priest a little, but they didn't approach.
Yan Mo didn't stay where he was, and turned around to walk into Zhan Mo Academy. But coincidentally, just as he was about to raise his leg, he heard someone shout: "The leader is here!"
