The Desert God of Death in Douluo

After three days of traveling rapidly under the sea breeze, the black horizon in the distance finally appeared in everyone's sight. At this moment, everyone cheered. After leaving the mainland for more than two years, they finally returned.

Zeng set foot on the mainland again with all his heart to save people, and set foot on the familiar Tekai Sancheng Pier, which made everyone sigh.

Since the two warships still had things to do, they immediately went to do other things after leaving everyone behind. They had no time for maintenance at the dock for the time being, and gradually disappeared from the eyes of everyone into the place where the water and the sky meet.

It was undoubtedly exciting for everyone to set foot on the mainland again, but it also gave them a sense of loss.After all, they have also lived in the inheritance land of the Sword God for more than two years. For ordinary people, how many two years are there in a lifetime?

Dai Mubai came to Zeng Yixin, "Yixin, how will we arrange our itinerary?"

Tang San said: "I'll take Rongrong and Zhuqing back to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect first. After all, I've been away for so long. But I won't stay in the sect for too long. After all, I haven't been out for two years, and the major colleges and Ning Uncle, there should be a lot of things that I need to sort out."

Dai Mubai said: "In this case, don't delay even if you don't want to, just take Rongrong and Zhuqing there. Fatty and I will take Bing'er Yue'er and go back to Tiandou City, and then just go over there. I’m waiting for you, but I don’t know what the situation is like over there.”

Zeng Yixin said: "That's fine." As he spoke, he spread out the map and everyone gathered around him.

Pointing his finger on the map, Tang San said, "This is where we are. I'll go say hello to the city lords of the Three Special Cities later. If you want to rest here, or set off directly, I'll ask them to arrange the itinerary for you. Uncle Ning should know about Rongrong and I coming back now, and he is probably anxious now."

Chen Xin said: "I don't know if Fengzhi boy is in a hurry or not. I guess Old Bones really can't wait any longer. Hahahaha. I haven't seen our little witch in two years. Now I'm probably starved for it."

Having said this, a smile appeared on Ning Rongrong's face: "I haven't seen my father and Grandpa Gu in more than two years. I really miss them."

Zhu Zhuqing just stood quietly beside Zeng Yixin, and his meaning was very clear, I will go wherever you go.

Zeng Yixin didn't say anything, he just took the two girls' slender hands and gave them a reassuring look.

Ma Hongjun chuckled and said, "Yixin, my brother, we won't be polite to you anymore. Bing'er and Yue'er have missed their families after being away from home for so many years. Boss Dai and I will not accompany you and go directly to Tiandou City. Recognize the door."

Shui Bing'er punched him lightly, her pretty face blushing slightly. Indeed, as a girl, she was not as experienced as the Shrek Seven Devils. How could she miss home after being away for so long?

Not only her, Shui Yue'er's homesickness was even worse than hers.

Zeng Yixin smiled and said, "It's just a trip back, not to mention the great god Elder Sword is with us. No one needs to accompany you, just go back and do your work. However, the Magic School must also need help. When you are done, remember to go back to school to help." , speaking of which, two years have passed and the first batch of colleges are about to graduate. Now the teacher gap in our college should not be that big."

"Xiao Ao, what do you plan to do next?"

Zeng Yixin turned his attention to Oscar.

Oscar said: "I don't have any other plans. I have suffered a lot in the place of inheritance. I plan to go back to the Magic Academy to rest for a while. I will also visit Dean Flanders, Dean Zhao and other teachers. Let’s see if there is anything I can do to help. By the way, I’m going to learn some advanced magic knowledge. Now that my mental capacity has increased, I think I should be able to master some offensive magic.”

After hugging Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and Oscar, Zeng Yixin and Ning Rongrong set off back to the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect. In order to save time, Chen Xin simply summoned the Seven Killing Sword and took Zeng Yixin and the others with him. It turned into a stream of light and disappeared directly into the sky.

From the Lima Plain, we headed east, passing directly below the Kingdom of Barak and the Kingdom of Silvis. From a distance, Zeng Yixin had already seen the wide official road. He opened the map and looked at it. This was the border of the Tiandou Empire. , belonging to a kingdom called Haagen-Dazs affiliated with the Tiandou Empire.

This kingdom is in the northwest of the Tiandou Empire, and part of its border borders the Star Luo Empire.From now on, walk along the official road, pass through the immortal volcano, and head southeast to reach Tiandou Imperial City.About two hundred miles east of here is Xilu City, an important town in the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom.

When we arrived outside Xilu City, this city was considered to be at the level of a main city, slightly smaller than a main city in the general sense. In front of the city gate, there were about twenty soldiers checking passers-by. It looked like they were checking very carefully.The soldiers were all murderous and in good order. They showed no intention of slacking off just because they were just guarding the gate.

It seemed that their military uniforms were quite good, and every soldier wore leather armor.This is a rare situation for ordinary city gate patrol soldiers.You know, these seemingly small changes are a huge expense when spread evenly across a unit.

After a day of traveling, Zeng Yixin and his party had already covered more than half of the distance. After paying the entrance fee, they found a hotel to rest.

On the way into the city, Zeng Yixin found that the streets in the city all looked the same. There were many shops on both sides of the road. Overall, Xilu City was very bleak. Pedestrians walked relatively fast, and there were not many people. Many of them looked like they were in a hurry.

Thinking that there is an immortal volcano about 370 miles to the east, Zeng Yixin made some guesses.

Although the location of the Immortal Volcano is without any natural dangers or passes along the way from Tiandou City, other locations such as Xilu City can at least serve as a buffer zone for the Kingdom of Haagen-Dazs. A satellite country is so anxious that it has to equip the soldiers who defend the city. After seeing the cloth armor, it can be seen that the affiliated kingdoms under the Tiandou Empire may have some other ideas at this time.

After eating in the inn, Zeng Yixin called the waiter who had nothing to do.

"Brother, we came from the seaside. We haven't been back to the inland for many years. Why does your city of Xilu look so deserted? There are not many people on the streets, and there are not many people in the restaurants." Zeng Yixin asked politely.

The waiter scanned the hall and found that except for Zeng Yixin's table, there were no other guests eating here, so he sat down and replied: "Hey, it wasn't caused by the eruption of the undead volcano back then. Don't talk about it. Lucheng and even Rouge City further to the west were covered by the volcanic ash that blocked the sky and the sun. That guy couldn't see anything for more than a month, it was so dark."

"Later, although the ashes that covered the sky slowly dispersed, there was news about monsters in the Immortal Volcano. I heard that the Tiandou Empire sent a big shot to suppress it, but he almost got himself involved. Come on, who dares to do business near Xilu City?"

"If it weren't for the fact that my boss's ancestral business is here and he won't move no matter what, and I am a long-term worker, otherwise I would have left long ago. To tell you the truth, just this morning, you guys are the second best He’s here to eat, but now that Xilu City says it’s okay if a bird doesn’t poop, no one wants to stay here anymore.”

After hearing what he said, Zeng Yixin immediately understood that the coldness of Xilu City was really related to the immortal volcano, and he quickly said: "Second Brother, can you tell us what happened next?" This little trick is your reward." As he said this, he took out two Gintama coins and pushed them over the table.It's not that he is stingy, but giving him too much money will cause problems more easily.

As soon as he saw the money that Zeng Yixin had pushed over, the waiter immediately beamed. This had kept him busy for more than a week, so he said: "Tian Dou has been standing in front of the immortal volcano since he was defeated, and he has not moved a step forward. , but are reluctant to send more troops to the frontline army, so the pressure has to come from us, the satellite countries."

"Originally, many of the soldiers and horses under the principalities were lost by the Tiandou Empire, in order to guard the immortal volcano and prevent those ghosts inside from coming out, and listen to those well-informed people shouting about what that thing is called. 'Devil', it seems that there was another commotion over there last month, which made people panic. It had been quiet for so long and has regained some popularity. I saw the soldiers and bandits coming in and out, and those who could leave left again, except for me. The boss can’t leave because it wants to protect its ancestral business, and the other big merchants have basically left.”

"Hey."

At this point, the waiter sighed: "When these soldiers move, no matter who they are fighting, who wins or loses, the ones who are bullied are ordinary people like us. The past two years have been going well, and the harvest has been good. As a result, the above What kind of 'new tax' did people come up with? It's even more than what they paid before!"

The waiter suddenly lowered his voice and said: "If you ask me, it is better to go to the Tiandou Empire. His Highness the Crown Prince is a true saint. I heard that there are also tea taxes, bamboo taxes, lacquer taxes, and wood taxes. The house tax and transaction tax were finally persuaded by His Highness the Prince, but we don’t have them here! So those of us who can defect to the Jiubao Group have brought their families with them."

"The Jiubao Group has been in the limelight in the past few years and is very powerful. Originally, ordinary people like us were arrested as refugees when we left the city and wandered far away. We were imprisoned in this three-acre land for the rest of our lives. However, people dared to We accept them, apply for new household registration, distribute relief grains, children go to school for free, men go to factories, women go to textile factories, one month of work can pay for one year elsewhere!"

"In this world, big fists are the best. I heard that the Nine Treasures Group is very powerful. Titled Douluo is the most powerful master in the soul master world. There are two of them in this group! Otherwise, Xilu City and Why don't you even dare to fart in a city with so many people leaving?"

"If you ask me, what the Jiubao Group does is called personnel affairs. You get paid according to the work you do. Although I heard there are many rules, no one dares to cause trouble. The ordinary people inside live a more comfortable life than the gentlemen in the capital. I heard that during the Chinese New Year, there will be salt, oil and rice, and they will give me a holiday every month. I heard that after how many years of service, I will be given a house, so I will be a good boy."

Speaking of this, the waiter became more and more excited as he talked. Fortunately, their table was far away from the counter where the shopkeeper was sitting, so he couldn't hear clearly.

Hearing what the waiter said, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but smile and looked at Chen Xin, who was slowly eating roast chicken.

Although the waiter can't distinguish the concepts of a group and a sect, to be honest, they are not much different. I agree with what the waiter said. The current Jiubao Group may have developed into a quite terrifying behemoth.

But no matter how curious they are, their most important task now is to go back to the Jiubao Glazed Sect first. Although the Jiubao Group's base at this time is near the Far North, the sect's base and many things cannot be moved away. There is no need to move for the time being, and the Jiubao Glazed Sect has not moved from the outskirts of Tiandou Imperial City. It is not more urgent to see the development of the Jiubao Group.

Before anyone could ask the waiter any more questions, they heard loud noises coming from outside the door, followed by the laughter of the old shopkeeper who had been settling accounts at the counter.

"Master Chen, Master Sun, come in and drink tea. Come in and drink tea."

The voice of the old shopkeeper rose to an octave: "Li Fu, make a bowl for you two gentlemen!"

After hearing this, the waiter Li Fu could only apologize to everyone, and then went to the back room to make tea.

Two soldiers in soft armor with golden swords sat beside Zeng Yixin and others. Then they looked sideways at the old shopkeeper who was accompanying them and said, "There will be another battle later, shopkeeper Wang."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang trembled all over, but he still said in a low voice with a bitter look on his face: "This... it wasn't only half a month since the last war, why is there another war now?"

The man known as Mr. Sun slapped the table and cursed: "How do we know? The higher-ups have told us that a family has two hundred kilograms of grain, even if one grain is missing. They have to pay me all before sunset. Why, I'm fighting at the front, and you don't even give out some food?"

Shopkeeper Wang immediately explained humbly: "Master Sun, take a look at our restaurant. You two are the third ones to come today. I can't even send out the chews to the people below. Can you give me a few days' grace?" .”

Mr. Chen, who was singing with a red face on the other side, immediately said: "Shopkeeper Wang, you also know that there are so many military orders. If asked here, we can't explain it."

Shopkeeper Wang put his hand into the purse inside his clothes. Before he could count, the man named Master Sun took it away, leaving only an empty purse and threw it to him.

Shopkeeper Wang didn't dare to say anything, he just bowed and saluted: "You two gentlemen, please give me your kind words. Save the money to buy two more bowls of tea. I'll show my respect to you two."

It was only then that Mr. Chen stood up and said nonchalantly: "I'll help you say a few words to the top. It's hard to say whether it works or not."

After that, he didn't even drink the tea that Li Fugang brought to him, and went straight to the next shop.

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly walked to the door to see these two people off, and then gently cursed, "Sun thief." 'Sit down where the two ladies were originally sitting, and drink the tea in one gulp.

Although Shopkeeper Wang's curse was very low, everyone here was a high-level soul master. How could they not hear it? They looked at each other and said something, but they didn't know where to start.
