Of course Tianyang didn't tell Kaidi what happened exactly. He just avoided the main point and briefly mentioned it.
Kaidi was not the kind of person who would dig deep into the matter. During the whole process, he just listened and did not raise any questions.
After listening to this, Kadi said, "Since Skyfort is not going back, what are your plans for the future?"
Regarding this question, Tian Yang answered truthfully: "I want to go around and have a look. I heard that there was a city called Oasis Castle deep in the desert, but it was later abandoned. However, there are still many valuable items there, which attracted a large number of people who make a living by scavenging, so it was renamed Scavenger City."
"I also heard that Fort Glorious has an advanced transportation network. There are many tubes built above the city. People can travel between the cities via light rails installed in the tubes and trains running on the light rails."
"Kadi, there are still many cities in this world that I have not been to, and fortresses that I have not seen. I want to go and see them, and travel far away."
Kadi laughed: "When I was your age, I also wanted to travel far and see everywhere. Unfortunately, I don't have your ability. I didn't awaken to become an ascender, and I broke a leg."
He patted his robotic limb.
"But I support you. You are still young and you really shouldn't stay in Skyfort forever. It's fine to travel around, but don't forget to 'go home'."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Come and try my new drink. I guarantee that once you try it, you will always want to savor it."
"Well, let's just forget about this..."
That night, Kadi drank more than a dozen beers, two glasses of liquor he mixed himself, and some local ale from Gaoshanbao, then fell asleep on the table.
It was late at night, and the bar was closed. At this time, Xifa saw the simple side of the residents of Gaoshanbao. They got Kadi's promise that the drinks were free tonight, so no one paid for the drinks.
But when they left, they voluntarily cleaned up the garbage, put the tables and chairs in place, and made the bar tidy before leaving one after another.
After Tianyang dropped Katie off in his bedroom above the bar, he left, returned to the hotel, and fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already daytime.
In the morning of Alpine Castle, the sunlight was stronger and brighter than that of Skyfort. As soon as the sun rose from the horizon, golden light pierced through the curtains and woke Tianyang up.
He drew aside the curtains, opened the window, and took a breath of fresh air. He felt as if every cell in his body was awakening and becoming energized.
Breakfast is provided by the hotel.
This hotel with stone exterior walls has a restaurant behind the lobby. Su Lie was not interested in breakfast, so Tian Yang brought Xing Luo to the restaurant.
In the restaurant, Xiaoxiang and his sister could be seen from afar. Zhang Rui and Murray were discussing something, and both of them looked quite solemn.
When Tianyang arrived next to their table, the caravan leader noticed him and quickly invited them to take a seat.
The breakfast at Gaoshanbao is still mainly meat. The slightly golden cured meat is coated with homemade sauce, which is fragrant but a bit greasy. The drink is a kind of fruit squeezed into juice nearby, which is a bit astringent and bitter, but very refreshing. It can help to relieve the greasiness when paired with barbecue.
The two children ate with gusto, Tianyang and Xingluo ate more reservedly, and Zhang Rui and Murray ate without eating.
Just didn't move.
They sighed, looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
Tianyang took a sip of juice and asked, "Captain Zhang, what happened?"
Zhang Rui put on a forced smile and said, "Nothing has happened, but we may miss a good opportunity."
"What good opportunity?"
Zhang Rui sighed, "In half a year, the 'War God Festival' that takes place every ten years will begin. This is a major celebration held at the War God Castle. During the 'War God Festival', strong masters from all over the country will gather together to compete on stage."
"The top ten will be employed by several super fortresses, and the top three will be the talents that the four major churches and many fortresses will compete to snatch. By then, the Ares Fortress will attract the attention of the whole world."
Tianyang had never heard of such a thing before, so he pricked up his ears and listened attentively to what Zhang Rui had to say.
"The God of War Festival is not only full of experts, but also people from all over the world who have the conditions will rush over to join in the fun. Therefore, during the God of War Festival, the God of War Castle has unlimited business opportunities."
"Merchant groups from all continents will also rush to occupy the Ares Castle, and our Ruby Chamber of Commerce is no exception. However, the journey is long and the Chamber of Commerce has a limited budget, so only three positions are available."
"That is to say, only three caravans can represent our group to go to the War God Castle. In order to ensure fair competition, the Chamber of Commerce has decided to hold a 'hunting' in the near future. Only the caravans that rank in the top three in the hunting ground can go to the War God Castle."
Zhang Rui glanced at Murray and smiled bitterly: "Although my caravan is not strong, I still want to give it a try. Unfortunately, Brother Mu is injured. Even if I sign up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win."
Tian Yang asked: "Hunting? Hunting what?"
Zhang Rui said in a deep voice: "Divine evil, of course, is limited to small, low-level creatures like evil foxes. After all, going to the War God Castle requires climbing mountains and crossing rivers, and the journey must be full of dangers."
"Without strong military force, we can't reach the end. That's why we set up this competition. Although hunting down evil spirits mainly tests the strength of the caravan guards, it is actually also testing the comprehensive strength of each of our caravans."
Tianyang nodded. Zhang Rui was right. If the caravan had strong overall strength, they could spend money to hire Sublimators, or even one or two powerful masters to take charge.
So such a competition can be said to be fair, but also unfair.
"Fortress of the God of War..."
Tianyang had heard of this fortress. Like the Glorious Fortress, it was also a super fortress.
It is quite attractive to Tianyang. Moreover, the Ares Castle will hold a celebration every four years, and the eyes of the whole world will be focused there.
Tianyang is a young man at heart and really wants to join in the fun.
The only problem is that the Fortress of the God of War is the holy place of the Church of the Lord of War. In that fortress, the power of the Church of the Lord of War is unprecedentedly strong. Even if other churches go there, they have to bow their heads slightly.
If I were to show up at the Ares Castle, I'm afraid it would attract the attention of the church...
After finishing his breakfast in a few bites, Tianyang stood up and said, "I'm done, enjoy your meal."
So he took Xing Luo away.
Looking at the backs of the two men, Murray whispered, "Boss Zhang, if Mr. Su and the others are willing to lend you a hand..."
Zhang Rui made a gesture to silence him, and then said: "Like them
We can't afford to pay for the powerful ones. We can only see if they want to go to the War God Castle. This is why I just talked about the matter and didn't ask for help. "
"People like them are hard to come by."
When he returned to the room, Tianyang saw his father. Su Lie was sitting at the window in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Dad, do you know Ares Castle?"
Su Lie came back to his senses, and his eyes, which were originally a little indifferent, gradually became warmer: "I know, isn't it the headquarters of the Church of the Lord of War? I also know that the God of War Festival is held there every ten years."
Tianyang walked to the window and said, "I just heard from Zhang Rui that in half a year, the celebration will be held at the War God Castle."
"War God Festival?" Su Lie glanced at him, "Why, do you want to participate?"
Tian Yang nodded calmly: "I am worried that we will be targeted by the church if we show up at the War God Castle."
Su Lie smiled calmly: "What are you afraid of? If you can't win, the worst that can happen is that you can just fight your way out. Besides, there will be a lot of people there, and the forces of all parties will be complicated. The four major churches will also restrain each other. Even if the Lord of War Church wants to do something, it can't send too many masters."
"You mean we can go?"
Su Lie smiled and nodded: "Of course, the world is so big, there is no place that we can't go!"
"But I don't know how to get to the Castle of the God of War..."
Tian Yang said, "Zhang Rui knows. He just mentioned to me that the Ruby Merchants Group also wants to participate in this event. However, their budget is limited and they can only give three places, so they let their merchant groups participate in one competition."
"Only the top three in the competition are eligible to represent the merchant group to the War God Castle."
Su Lie touched his chin and said, "I guess Zhang Rui must have asked you for help, right?"
Tian Yang smiled and shook his head: "No, he just told me that there was such a situation, but he didn't take any further action."
Su Lie chuckled and said, "He is a smart man, but if we were to propose it ourselves, it might not be too cheap."
Tian Yang agreed: "Besides, there should be quite a few caravans heading to the War God Castle. If the news that we rescued Zhang Rui's caravan gets out, I guess quite a few people will come to visit us and ask for help."
"If Zhang Rui doesn't take the initiative to propose it, then we can just pick other caravans to participate."
The father and son made the decision.
In the afternoon, Tianyang received a message from Yexing that the Hunger Dance would hold a secret party tonight!
Tianyang was just trying to get clues about other media materials and how to make level 7 sublimation media, and Xindao's secret party was held at the right time.
At night, he opened the door of the crack, entered the collection room of the drifting town, took the "messenger mask", put on the "midnight cloak", put on the "hand of pain", transformed into the "god of death", and entered the sky castle again.
But tonight, Tianyang set foot in the downtown area.
Walking on the somewhat damp road in the lower city, Tianyang came to the entrance of the Gray Market. His current appearance had already made him a living sign, so the two gatekeepers let him pass without even verifying his identity.
Entering the Gray Market, Tianyang discovered that there were many more people at the market tonight than usual. Even the road section at the entrance was already crowded with people. It seemed that the Gray Market had been closed for a while and had only recently reopened, which was why it attracted so many customers.
