"Everyone, come out, the master and the young master are back!"
Residential houses in Tianyun City are generally in the shape of exquisite prismatic towers, and the Thorn Flower Chamber of Commerce is no exception. The silver pillars and golden spires are ten stories high, enclosing a small courtyard. Although the place is relatively remote, the environment is quite comfortable and comfortable.
Liu Lifeng walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face, no matter how hard and tired he was, as long as he returned to the small courtyard, he would feel very proud and at ease. The most inconspicuous small residence in Tianyun City is the result of the Chamber of Commerce's hard work and management. In addition to the caravan members, the entire chamber of commerce also has more than 100 support staff. There are men, women, old and young, and most of them are women and the elderly. These support staff are generally family members of the caravan members. Everyone has lived here for many years. Get along with each other harmoniously and peacefully.
Lao Jing, Liu Lifeng, the female doctor, and more than 20 caravan guards all appeared at the door, and the people immediately cheered and jumped out to greet them.
"Aunt Shuilian!"
Two little girls with soaring braids rushed over and threw themselves into the arms of the female doctor. They were very lively and cute with flushed cheeks. The guy asked.
"It's hard work, it's hard work, Xiaofeng is tanned again." An old woman looked at Liulifeng kindly, and he turned his attention to Lao Jing again: "Is the caravan going well this time?"
"We met the reckless gangsters in the fringe area, and fought against the traitors of the Dark Nuclear Society in the Shazhou Camp. We have run with Lao Jing so many times, and we have never had an experience like this time." Feng replied instead. He beamed and described the thrilling process, but his face darkened again immediately, as if remembering something sad: "Uncle can't come back."
Uncle is the captain of the guard of the Thorn Flower Caravan.
The Thorn Flower Merchant Guild found out when the caravan came back that the Muna man who had been following Lao Jing all along had disappeared. Everyone knows what this means. The loyal captain of the guard seems to be unfortunately unable to return.
Marginal caravans are walking in lawless places. This kind of thing often happens. People feel sad and mourn in silence. After all, people living here have established deep friendship without blood relationship.
"Everyone, don't be too sad." Old Jing held a black jade bead in his hand. He has been in business for many years, and this kind of life and death is often seen. It's just that an old partner who has been in business for more than ten years said that he would be gone. Even he felt a little hard to accept it. Not to mention other people, but Lao Jing still comforted everyone, "This time our harvest is several times that of before. Although the captain unfortunately sacrificed, but in exchange for a better life for us, may the gods protect his soul in the sky. Water lotus, you take Pay three times the pension to the captain's wife and children, and from now on, everyone will take care of his children and bring them up to be worthy of the captain."
Female doctor Shui Lian nodded.
It is lucky to be able to come back alive this time!
The reckless gang has a reputation for being bloodthirsty, cruel and vicious. The caravans that this gang of robbers looted have always been completely wiped out and women's money and goods have been taken away. There are few exceptions. I am afraid that the Thorn Flower Chamber of Commerce can also be declared destroyed.
Not to mention the captain of the guard, Master Lao Jing, Master Feng, and more than 20 other guards, I am afraid that all of them will be on the verge of death. As for her, she will definitely be taken away by these gangsters, and she will live a horrible life that is worse than death.
Lao Jing waved his hand to signal everyone to leave: "Our rules can't be broken, everyone get ready."
Every time the thorn flower caravan came back safely from the business, everyone had to bathe, sacrifice, pray, and hold a banquet to celebrate one party and thank the gods for their care.
Night gradually fell.
Sky Cloud City is full of flowers.
The canopies of the strange trees released soft light, instantly illuminating a large area of the ground. Countless tall and towering strange trees enveloped the entire Sky Cloud City like huge umbrellas. The whole city looked so serene and peaceful, as if the only remaining piece of pure land in the world, even the greatest evil in the world, was melted by the shock.
People turned on magic lamps.
Countless rays of light like fine sand floated from the golden teapot-shaped spout, and the light sand condensed into beautiful patterns in mid-air, some in the shape of a pegasus, some in the shape of a big tree, rather than scattered, releasing light, some It can also move, has a lifelike artistic sense, and illuminates the room brightly.
There will be altars set up on the top of the spires of the residential buildings in Tianyun City, where special magic lamps and tools given by the temple are placed for priests. After taking a bath and changing clothes, Lao Jing turned on each of the magic lamps with his own hands, and released them from these magic lamps to form the most sacred image of the mansion.
The Thorn Flower Chamber of Commerce is a small chamber of commerce, so the altar is relatively simple, but the layout is very careful, and every potted plant has been carefully built.
At this time, it was around six o'clock in the evening, and the sun's rays gradually disappeared completely. The solemn, sacred and melodious bell sounded from the direction of the temple, as if it contained some kind of energy that transcended all things, and it did not weaken with the transmission distance. Out, covering the whole city, so that everyone feels shocked, even if any negative evil thoughts are purified in this bell.
The evening bell in Sky Cloud City rang, the day was over, and the world of believers' evening offerings and prayers began.
The clothes on Laojing and Liulifeng were specially prepared for the sacrifice, and Dr. Shuilian also put on a spotless white robe to make her look more beautiful. The three of them stood at the front, while the rest stood behind.
After bathing and changing clothes, more than 20 members knelt in front of the altar devoutly and began to pray.
As a businessman, Lao Jing may be speculative and greedy for profit, but Lao Jing, like most Sky Cloud City residents, is a very devout believer. He believes that everything he owns is bestowed by the great gods.
This time, the merchant narrowly escaped death, and met several demon hunters. For Xiaofeng, who is strong in the military, it adds many favorable factors for his future growth. If this is not the protection of the gods, what else could it be
"Thank you for the protection of the gods."
"May the glory be eternal."
"May God bless you."
Laojing, Shuilian, and Liulifeng took the lead in kneeling and kowtowing.
Others prostrated themselves on the ground to show their devotion and respect to God.
Liulifeng is really different from his pious adoptive father. Liulifeng thinks that sacrifices are really boring, and he doesn't believe that a high god can hear the prayers of ordinary people. Liu Liufeng wanted to become a demon hunter not because he wanted to be loyal to the gods so much, but because he was purely interested in the demon hunter himself.
Boring is boring, but I still have to pretend.
The crowd prayed for a full two hours and ended.
Lao Jing is too old, and he has been lying on the ground for a long time, which made him feel backache and leg pain, so he can only stand up with the support of Liulifeng and Dr. Shuilian. However, Lao Jing's improvement is very good. He feels that being favored by the gods is an extra point. This feeling of faith makes his heart very at ease.
"Everyone, hurry up and start the dinner party!"
The children of the Thorn Flower Caravan cheered and jumped for joy.
The dinner is very rich, which is also the tradition of the Chamber of Commerce. Every time the caravan returns safely, the Chamber of Commerce will celebrate with rich dishes and wine. This day will also become the most festive day of the Thorn Flower Chamber of Commerce every month, just like a festival. Especially the gluttonous little ones, they can taste a lot of delicious food again,
In this god-favored land, most of the fruits and grains can grow extremely fast, and cattle, sheep and livestock can also reproduce at an astonishing speed. As long as there is a devout belief in the gods in Tianyun City, there are almost no hungry people. After all, it is the main city of the entire God's Domain, and its prosperity is unmatched by other places.
Drifting Wind ended the ceremony and returned to his usual cheerful and unrestrained appearance. He stepped on a table and raised a glass of golden ale with his right hand: "Have a good drink today!"
"Master Feng, you don't have many days to drink with us like this."
"That's right, Young Master Feng is about to become a demon hunter. How can a noble demon hunter drink at the same table with ordinary people like us?"
"Ah bah, what kind of nonsense is this!" Liu Liufeng slapped the wine glass on the table forcefully: "No matter what I become in the future, you are my dearest family members, how can anyone despise the lowly love of my family, aren't you If you scold me for forgetting your roots, you should be punished, you should be punished!"
People suddenly burst into laughter.
Old Jing smiled but said seriously: "Xiaofeng pay attention to your behavior and words, you are about to become a witcher, how can you be so frivolous? Come down!"
Liulifeng shrugged mischievously.
These words are not against one's will. It is not easy for the Thorn Flower Caravan to get to where it is today. When Wandering Wind was adopted by Lao Jing more than ten years ago, the scale of the Chamber of Commerce was still very small at that time, and it was not qualified to settle in Sky Cloud City. Can only wander around, life is very hard. It was Lao Jing who led everyone through unremitting efforts to finally have today's life.
Liulifeng was also full of pride.
That's why we value everyone so much.
Although these people's status in Tianyun City is not high, each of them is his family.
His greatest idol is the city lord, Master Starlight. His greatest ideal is to become a powerful and noble demon hunter to protect everyone. He decided to work hard for his dream and pursuit.
When more than a hundred people were busy preparing for dinner in the courtyard.
The door was suddenly pushed open.
There was a sound of armor rubbing.
More than a hundred soldiers rushed in, each holding an anti-aircraft crossbow or soldier's sword, and surrounded the door in the shortest time. On the hot charcoal, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly became cold.
Several people dressed as witchers stepped out.
The leaders are a young man and a middle-aged man. The young man is very handsome with a white armor and silver spear, and the middle-aged man is wearing a white cloak of a witcher, with a lofty temperament and elegant aristocratic atmosphere. Both of them are well-known bigwigs in Sky Cloud City, the young man is Master Starlight's apprentice Dong Guixue, and the middle-aged man is Xi Yunhong, a disciple of Master Starlight and assistant to the city lord.
Both of them are one of the most important confidantes of the city lord, not to mention there are several other demon hunters present. Standing up here is probably enough to make this small chamber of commerce tremble. How could a small-scale caravan like the Thorn Flower Caravan entertain so many big figures at the same time? They were stunned almost on the spot.
"My honorable lords." Lao Jing felt that the situation was not good, he stood up tremblingly, hurried to the front, bowed respectfully and said: "May I ask what your order is here?"
Dong Guixue sneered with a silver light flashing, and pointed the gun blade as bright as a silver mirror at the old man: "You traitors, colluding with demon spies, are you still playing stupid here? I have already checked it out, and I advise you not to Resist in the corner, tell me! Where are the demon spies!"
"Impossible!" Old Jing has always been steady, but at this moment he was shocked, "We are a small business association, how can we have the ability to collude with the demons? We are all devout believers of God, it is impossible to do such a thing, my lord There must be some misunderstanding."
"You still want to hide it? Please keep your eyes open to see if this belongs to you!" Dong Guixue threw a suit of clothes on the ground. It was the clothes given to Yunying by the Thorn Flower Caravan. With ice slag: "You brought in spies from the demon race, don't you want to admit it?"
Everyone in the Thorn Flower Caravan showed expressions of fear.
A figure appeared in front of everyone... Could it be that person
This cannot be explained logically. How could he be a spy of the demon race
But whether this matter is true or not is not important for the time being, even if that person is really a spy of the demon clan, this crime must not be admitted, otherwise it will really be over.
Liu Lifeng couldn't help but stand up: "It's a mistake! You must have made a mistake! How could he be a demon spy? Not only did he save our lives, but he also cracked down on the Dark Core Society spy in the Shazhou Camp. How could a highly skilled demon hunter be a spy of the demon clan! He came to Tianyun City to meet Master Starlight, and I think Master Starlight would definitely not want to see a good person be wished!"
Xi Yunhong frowned slightly.
Dong Guixue's pupils contracted slightly, and a murderous intent danced in his pupils, his voice seemed to float out of hell: "It seems that you know a lot, and you seem to know a lot!"
Lao Jing has rich experience, although he doesn't know what's going on, but judging from the performance of Master Dong Guixue, he can already guess part of it, and his heart suddenly turns cold.
