Chapter 370 This Is Just War (13)

Laian City is a small forest town located along the riverside and lake, or it can be said to be a big town. Even compared to Harrison Port, it looks a bit simple and plain.

But in terms of scenery, Harrison Port is basically crushed in all aspects except for the South China Sea.

Surrounding the entire city of Lai'an, purple-red and golden-orange flowers and plants are exactly the immature form of the 'Sunshine Grass', a perennial herbaceous plant named after the color of morning glow and sunset.

It blooms in summer and withers in winter, and successfully bred individuals can extract spiritual nourishment extract, a precious raw material for tranquilizers, and can also be used as a tonic to restore mental trauma.

Not all glowgrasses qualify as psionic plants, only the best part of the growth can manifest the 'glow' that can be seen clearly at night.

And as long as you put the leaves of Xiahui grass in your mouth, close your eyes and meditate, you can have a good dream. In the dream, you can see the gorgeous sunlight, smell the fragrance of grass and trees, and quickly cure all ailments including insomnia, mental weakness and headache. series of diseases.

Other rosy radiance grasses that have not manifested radiant brilliance will decay early and accumulate nutrients for the coming year.

In addition, the scent of grass and trees secreted by the Xiahui grass has a strong calming effect on monsters. Even a beast like a sharp-clawed tiger will lose its hunting instinct when it approaches.

And the originally gentle ones, such as the armored bears, even lay down and sleep in the sea of ​​flowers, and can be lured out by a few ordinary people with honey.

A road passes through the sea of ​​flowers and leads directly to the town behind.

Now that the morning sun is rising, the golden light covers the earth, so the brilliant glow in the sea of ​​flowers is fading, but Ian can still see a lot of light blue breath when he glances across the sea of ​​flowers.

The production of Xiahui grass is quite stable, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to buy potion ingredients.

Saying goodbye to Anfa, the green-haired elf bachelor decided to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city alone, while Ian decided to go directly to the baron's mansion to send a greeting card, and then went to the local platinum iridium workshop to ask about the status of the potion.

Not surprisingly, the Platinum Iridium Workshop should have remote communication equipment in this important potion raw material production place, and ordinary people cannot borrow it, but with Master Goser and Isengard's business card in his hand, it should be no problem.

Lai'an City is built by the lake, surrounded by flowers on two sides, lakes on one side, and the endless Baisen Mountains on the west side.

According to Ian's knowledge, Lake Laian was formed by a meteorite impact thousands of years ago, and the water from the surrounding mountains gathered here, thus forming this small but extremely deep well in the mountain. Born where the stars fell.

Therefore, the baron's mansion was not built in the center of the town, but on a high cliff by the lake. The towering rocky cliff solidified by lava is extremely strong. The baron's castle and manor are rooted here. The towering spires point directly to the sky, overlooking the The entire Lai'an City,.

The sky suddenly darkened.

Ian raised his head, and the rain clouds from the South China Sea were gradually approaching the land. The moist breath and the sea of ​​clouds engulfing the mountains emerged on the edge of the sky, and the edge was stained with a layer of morning glow by the dawn.

Nanling is not short of sunshine, but there is absolutely plenty of rain. The town covered by the sea of ​​flowers seems to come alive because of the approaching rain clouds, and the lights begin to light up among the dotted buildings.

People began to pack the clothes hanging outside the windows, and closed the windows that were left open due to the stuffy heat, but the noisy noise appeared earlier because of the rain clouds that blocked the sun.

Even the Frost Butterfly became excited. It patted the inside of Ian's helmet, causing the boy to take it off with a smile. His long white hair was scattered, and he and the goblin breathed the air that was gradually getting colder. .

The only thing that really has medicinal effect is its leaves, but the scent of the flowers is indeed fragrant enough, a faint scent similar to the sweet-scented osmanthus of the previous life.

Calming taste.he thinks.The indigenous Supor sleeping powder is similar to its fragrance, and the effect cannot be said to be irrelevant.

Perhaps the Xiahuicao is a mutated and advanced Supor flower.

The ice blue goblin flew around Ian, sensing its comfortable environment, and cheered silently.

Until the first drop of rain falls on the boy's palm.

"Let's go."

Shuangdie made a fuss for a while, and in the gradually dense rain, Ian put on his helmet again, and the goblin came back obediently.

Riding on a camel beast, the guide knight marched into the town.

The guards patrolling the streets noticed a distant visitor in armor, they stepped forward to inquire, and then saluted him respectfully.

But at the highest point of the town, on the upper levels of the castle on the cliff, it was always dark.

A figure stood on the top of the tower, silently staring at the scene.

……

'Red Blade' Lübeck, once the leader of the mercenaries in Port Harrison, is now a non-staff executive of the Huaiguang Church and a devout believer.

The red-haired and green-eyed mountain people are a little fatter, and their thin but strong figure even has a small belly that is common to middle-aged people. They can easily burn off the calories that a little fat can store, and only the source can provide the energy needed for their life activities.

Since the success of revenge, Lübeck, who gave up the days of licking blood on the knife, seemed to have given up all wealth and enjoyment, and was at ease as an ordinary monk in the Huaiguang conversation, eating and drinking, chopping firewood and sweeping the floor every day, looking at ease.

But today, he frowned and walked quickly to the bishop's quiet room at the back of the church with a solemn expression.

"come in."

Before he knocked on the door, Bishop Baiwu spoke first, making Lübeck stunned for a moment before opening the door.

The old man with white hair and somewhat untidy appearance was reading the secret letters in front of him, and beside him, a crystal board was also displaying words that were constantly being refreshed.

These were supposed to be secrets, but he didn't mind showing them to Lübeck, who was theoretically an outsider.

And the red-haired mountain man is also worthy of this trust. He kept his eyes on and reported the news he had received to the old man in a low voice.

"Hmm. The Mountain People's Iron Fang Department believes that the Flame Land is disturbing the balance of the ecological circle inside the Baisen Mountains. They intend to lure the powerful beast king out of the mountains and attack the prosperous city north of the Onyx Plain."

This is enough news to change the face of any lord whose territory is located around the Agate Stone Plain, but Bishop Baiwu continued to read the letter without changing his expression: "Combined with the head and information sent back by Ian a few days ago , this information has a high probability to be true.”

"A full-scale war is about to begin, and Feiyan intends to attack Nanling's economy, food and defense forces in all aspects. However, following the appeal of Viscount Grant, the lords everywhere have raised their vigilance, and we don't need to worry about this—later I will pass this information on to the Viscount and the Marquis of Barton."

"Hey, why doesn't the church..."

The mountain people obviously don't trust the so-called nobles very much.Bishop Baiwu noticed Lübeck's sadness and rejection.

Regarding this, he showed a slight smile: "The Huaiguang Church will not interfere in the war between human countries. Lubeck, although you are not a real member of the church, I would like to recommend you to go to the Holy Mountain for further study."

"After you avenged your child, you became decadent and desireless, confused about the meaning of your life, but this is exactly the 'sense of new life' Huaiguang needs."

"But now, you, who are confused, have taken the initiative to report to me the news you have received because of the imminent danger of 'all beings', and intend to change such a 'bad future'. This proves that you really have a heart 'Love' and 'kindness'."

"You are qualified to become a member of Huaiguang, the inheritance of those who practice Xiaoguang Su."

Bishop Baiwu looked at Lubeck's green eyes, and there was a faint, pure and firm light in those eyes: "But Lubeck—Huaiguang will never intervene in the disputes between human beings."

"Unless it brings disaster."

"...But bishop, this may cause tens of thousands of people to die! When the king in the deep mountains is provoked, an unknown number of people will die before they are stopped!"

Lübeck whispered in disbelief: "Bones and blood will cover the earth—isn't this a disaster?!"

"It doesn't count." Bishop Baiwu lowered his eyes: "This is just a war."
