Chapter 188 The caravan arrives, Jonah is shocked, is this the Twilight City? ? ! 6000 words three chapters and one
No. 7 No. 10.
On the vast yellow sand, a tired caravan was slowly moving forward in the hot desert.
The two leaders in front were riding camels and riding side by side.
Jonah Thorin looked at Onik carefully and frowned.
"Really almost there? You said the same thing a week ago"
Onik brushed off the gravel on his face, took out the magic map and took a look at it before confirming.
"If we hadn't suddenly encountered that terrible sandstorm five days ago, we would have arrived long ago."
He said with a bit of worry on his face.
"I hope the Twilight City can survive this sandstorm."
Jonah was a little anxious when he heard this.
"That bastard!! If he really deceived my daughter, I will never let him go!"
When I think of the injustice I suffered on the road this month.
Jonah Thorin was annoyed.
He slapped the Bactrian camel hard on the back and asked it to move forward faster.
Onik felt helpless when he saw this scene.
It's too much trouble to deal with this stupid guy.
Looking at the shadowy territory at the end of his sight, he could only pray that the Twilight City had not been too damaged in the storm a few days ago.
He waved his hand and asked everyone to speed up.
——
"Master, we have detected a caravan approaching Twilight City."
"The flag has the symbol of a luan tail flower."
In the lord's mansion, Richard was quite surprised when he looked at the dark gargoyle reporting information in front of him.
After waiting for so long, the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce is finally here.
In an instant, he saw the scene of huge amounts of wealth coming into his account.
But after coming back to his senses, he still said cautiously.
"How strong is that caravan?"
"It's not too strong and can't pose a threat to us"
"No need to intercept, it's almost dark, and the troops who are out hunting will return soon.
Let them enter the territory, and notify Karu to bring those merchants to see me after he is done. ”
"As you wish."
——
The blurry buildings in the distance gradually became clearer.
The tired caravan immediately became excited.
Everyone subconsciously speeded up.
Onik looked at the figures walking around outside the Twilight City, and his mood suddenly became high.
"Praise the gods, Sir Richard's territory is still there!"
Although it is still unknown how much damage the sandstorm caused to the small territory, at least it has not completely destroyed the territory.
He said in a firm tone.
"This time, I must ask Sir Richard to leave this terrifying desert and follow me back to Solan City."
"This kind of place is not suitable for living."
"I don't want treasures like Desert Crown Honey to be buried in the sand."
He had only had this plan before, but the sandstorm he encountered a few days ago completely changed his mind.
This is already the second sandstorm he has encountered in the past few months.
That time more than two months ago, the caravan returning from the other side of the Death Desert suffered heavy losses.
This time a few days ago, if it hadn't been for the special strategic treasure given by the president when he came, I'm afraid he would have suffered again.
This desert is too dangerous.
After Jonah Thorin saw the Twilight City clearly, he was speechless for a while.
"The territory doesn't even have a city wall..."
“I really don’t know how that lord dares to ask Andele to join him?”
"Can Andele get what she needs to be promoted to a special blacksmith?"
Which special-level blacksmith is not fed with a large amount of supplies? This territory is not as large as the residential area for Luanweihua Chamber of Commerce employees.
Do you have this background?
Onik suddenly had a headache when he heard this.
"Sir Jonah, no matter what you say, this is Miss Andele's own choice."
"If there is nothing wrong with Miss Andele, I hope you will not embarrass Mr. Richard."
"After all, he saved my life. At the same time, I will also invite him to Solan City. Maybe you will meet often in the future."
Jonah looked at Onik's pleading eyes, unmoved.
"Andele will only be delayed in this territory."
"No matter what, I will take her back. The blood of the Thorin family should not be buried here."
Onik smiled bitterly and couldn't say much.
He turned around and ordered the guards around him to stop Jonah if he went crazy.
A caravan of hundreds of people arrived at the territory as the sun sank into the yellow sand.
Onik did not lead anyone directly in. He got off the camel outside the territory and asked the guards to tie the camel up and wait for his orders.
This is basic courtesy. What's the point of riding a camel and wandering around in other people's territory without permission?
But Jonah Thorin ignored this. He couldn't wait to see his daughter.
Riding a camel, he led the way and entered the territory directly.
Onik suddenly felt dizzy. In order to prevent any accidents, he immediately asked two guards to chase the barbarian into the territory with him.
After Jonah Thorin entered the street, he saw construction items piled everywhere, and many people were carrying blocks of wood or stones in disgrace.
It seems to be no different from enslaving residents in other territories to do cool labor.
Suddenly a resident carrying stones saw Jonah Thorin riding a camel and shouted excitedly.
"Lord Jonah!!"
This startled breath attracted the attention of many people.
Soon, a large number of residents gathered around.
These are the companions of Jonah Thorin who followed Jonah Thorin across the desert to escape the war.
At this time, I was extremely excited to see that Jonah, who had been missing for more than two months, was okay.
Two months ago, this was the leader they relied on.
If it weren't for that hateful sandstorm, maybe they would still be following each other now.
"Lord Jonah, thank the gods that you are alive!"
"Miss Andele is in the territory, I'll call her for you!"
"Praise the gods, I never thought I'd see you again"
"."
Jonah was also excited when he looked at these familiar figures.
Get off the camel's back.
Give those around you a warm hug.
After being excited for a while, he came back to his senses.
Looking at the surrounding residents who were covered in a lot of dust due to their work, he suddenly shouted angrily.
"I have settled down in Solan City!"
"Everyone pack your things immediately and leave with me. I will take you to the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce. The Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce has promised me to help you arrange work."
The more he spoke, the louder he became.
"Even if you sign a contract of prostitution with that lord, it will be invalid. My companions must not be oppressed. Everyone is free!"
Jonah originally thought that if he appeared as a savior, everyone would respond with a bang.
But unexpected.
After his words came out, the scene that had been extremely lively just now seemed to have pressed the pause button.
There was silence.
Everyone looked at Jonah blankly, their eyes looking a little weird?
That expression looked like he was looking at a fool.
The surrounding residents were confused.
Did they hear it correctly?
Let them go?
After so much suffering, and now life is finally getting better, let them go?
This is worse than killing them.
And why do they oppress their lords? Is there any better territory in the world than Twilight City?
Is there any better lord than Lord Richard?
Did Lord Jonah have sand in his head because of the sandstorm?
Jonah thought these residents were afraid, so he immediately shouted to comfort them.
"Don't be afraid!! No one can stop us from leaving!"
I just finished saying this.
Suddenly the sky darkened.
Huhu~
A giant dragon with no flesh and blood on its body and whose bones were as clear as red crystal flew across the sky.
The huge size gives people an extremely strong visual impact, and the terrifying dragon power it exudes makes people tremble.
Jonah raised his head and was shocked when he saw this scene. Undead dragon? ?
Why are there such advanced undead here?
Are you here to attack this territory? ?
Just about to react.
Suddenly I saw gargoyles flying in the dark sky.
There are also a large number of mummy troops riding on it.
This made him freeze.
With so many troops, not to mention him alone, even the entire caravan would be in vain.
He lowered his body subconsciously and looked nervously at the army in the sky.
After waiting for a while, he found that the troops ignored him and fell directly into the territory.
He was stunned, what was going on?
Turning his head to look at the surrounding residents whose expressions had not changed much, he suddenly felt extremely distorted.
"Those troops are from this territory?"
The middle-aged man who first called out to Jonah nodded matter-of-factly.
Didn't feel anything strange at all.
"These are the troops who are out hunting and will return to their territory at dusk."
When Jonah dared to speak.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.
A large number of mummy troops poured into the territory from the rear.
There were mummies wrapped in bandages, monsters with venomous scorpion bodies and two iron pincers, warriors holding battle axes with chains tied to their hands, and he even saw a mechanical puppet up to 5 meters high.< br>
After hundreds of troops entered the territory.
He hasn't recovered yet.
Suddenly the ground shook.
Bang~
Bang~
Someone seemed to be bombarding the ground with a battering ram. Feeling the eyes of the people around him moving, Jonah subconsciously turned his head to look outside the territory.
I saw a terrifying giant tree dozens of meters tall, with no leaves and only a trunk, approaching the territory step by step.
The aura it exudes makes people feel chilly in their hearts, like an evil existence planted at the bottom of the bottomless abyss.
An unspeakable fear came over me.
He even slowed down his breathing subconsciously.
Fortunately, the evil giant tree stopped outside the territory, and then slowly took root in the earth.
Seems to be the most loyal guard guarding the territory.
He looked intently and discovered that there were hundreds of buzzing wasps on the top of the tree, and the sound they emitted could be heard very close to them.
Jonah was confused and looked at the resident with a dry mouth.
"This, is this also the army of this territory?"
There was a bit of vibrato in his tone.
The other person nodded.
Said with a bit of admiration.
"This is the ancient divine tree that the lord personally conquered."
"Did you see the venomous wasps on that big tree? They are a rare species. It is said that they can multiply to hundreds of thousands at most."
"Master Karu said that the Ancient Godly Tree goes fishing a few kilometers away every day, and he came back quite early today."
Jonah was confused.
Can this kind of monster be conquered? ?
And what the hell is fishing?
Are there fish that can be caught in the desert? ?
And with this kind of terrifying aura, why does it feel like giving him a large army to charge at him is all for nothing?
He turned around and glared at Onik in the back.
Didn't this bastard say that this territory only has dozens of arms?
What are these?
Onik's eyes widened at this moment, and he was no less shocked than Jonah.
Why did Twilight City have such a powerful army in just two months?
Who can tell him? ?
The resident looked at the silent Jonah, seemed to have thought of something, and warned him seriously.
"Lord Jonah, although I understand your desire to help us, this is the City of Twilight and you will never be allowed to slander the Lord!"
"As for what you said about leaving with you, there is no need to mention it again."
"The City of Twilight is the best city I have ever seen in any territory!"
"This is our home!"
"There is no oppression, no bullying, no servitude by the nobility. I don't even dare to think that I can become a member of the Twilight City in this life."
As he spoke, his eyes became more solemn.
"Lord Jonah, you were our leader before, leading us forward."
"But now, we are a member of Twilight City, and the lord is our master. I will not allow anyone to say anything bad about Twilight City in this territory."
"Please respect yourself."
Jonah suddenly felt as if his heart had been hit ten thousand times with a heavy hammer.
He looked dumbfounded at this old friend who had known him for more than ten years.
What is this territory for?
How long has it been since then? Why has the other party changed so much?
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say anything.
The other party said it so seriously, what else could he say?
Seeing this, the resident sighed in his heart, bowed slightly to Jonah, and then moved the building materials on the ground to work with great enthusiasm.
Everyone else did the same thing. After saluting, they continued to do their own thing.
We were surrounded just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye everyone was gone.
Jonah was still at a loss.
Onik didn't know what to say when he saw this scene, so he could only pat him on the shoulder to express comfort.
After Jonah came to his senses, he immediately nervously headed to the blacksmith shop not far away under the guidance of a resident.
It doesn't matter if others don't want to leave with him, it's enough that Andele is here.
Arriving at the blacksmith shop, Andele rushed downstairs after receiving the news of her father's arrival.
Seeing that familiar figure, his eyes suddenly turned red.
The glistening tears pulled out long tear tracks.
He quickly stepped forward and shouted with excitement and grievance.
"Father."
Jonah's heart suddenly melted when he saw his daughter's aggrieved look.
"Andele, don't cry, don't cry! I'm here to pick you up."
"Are you okay during this time? Are you injured?"
Andele cried and laughed, "I'm okay, it's nice here, I'm just so happy to see you"
Jonah didn't believe it. Seeing his daughter crying, his anger rose again.
"Did that damn lord trick you into staying?"
"I don't know what kind of ecstasy the lord gave the others. I asked them to go back to Solan City with me, but they were still unwilling!"
"Huh, this kind of territory, although it's okay now, will be submerged in an instant as long as it encounters a sandstorm."
Hearing this, Andele stopped crying and shook her head repeatedly.
"Father, Master Richard is very kind to me and did not deceive me. Moreover, I stayed here voluntarily."
Jonah said angrily.
"It's not important anymore. Pack your things and leave with me. I've already helped you find a suitable job at the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce."
"They are willing to treat you as a special blacksmith."
As he spoke, he became excited again.
"With ample supplies from the Luanweihua Merchant Guild, you can upgrade to a special blacksmith in at most one year."
Andel was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly.
"Father, I may have made the same choice as everyone else."
Jonah's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, what the other party said next made him feel like he had been hurt ten thousand times.
"I am now a part of Twilight City and will not leave."
Jonah's face suddenly stiffened.
No, you won't leave? !
Ten thousand question marks rose in my mind.
Why, why are they all like this!
That's it for everyone else. Why does Andele stay here?
"Andele, do you know what you are talking about?"
"You are just one step away from being promoted to a senior blacksmith. Staying here will only delay you!"
"The bloodline of our Thorin family can only be activated by becoming a special blacksmith."
"Once the bloodline is activated, we will not only have more powerful power, but also have a lifespan several times that of humans."
Andele smiled.
"But father, I am already a super blacksmith."
"I don't care what reasons you have, you are okay? You, what did you say??"
Jonah suddenly got stuck and looked at the other person with wide eyes.
Andel's smile became even brighter.
"Father, I am already a super blacksmith."
As he spoke, a special power came over him.
The blood in his body showed its breath at the same time at this moment.
He was stunned.
"The blood aura of the Thorin family is really fully activated!!"
Looking at that smiling face, I immediately went crazy.
"But, but how did you become a special blacksmith??"
"It's only been two months!! How can this shabby territory meet the resources you need to be promoted to a special blacksmith?"
Which special blacksmith cannot be promoted after forging a large number of high-level equipment.
Does this territory that doesn’t even have city walls have such resources?
Isn't this a joke?
But Andele's aura cannot be faked.
He was immediately confused, and then he seemed to think of something and said excitedly.
"This must be your extraordinary talent! I knew that my daughter is not comparable to ordinary people!"
Andele shook her head, interrupting his fantasy.
"Master Richard provided a lot of resources for me to use, and that's how I became a super blacksmith."
As he spoke, he became a little more excited.
"Master Richard also gave me a 4-star level equipment blueprint. Unfortunately, it is too difficult. It will take some time to study before it can be forged."
As he spoke, he took out the blueprint from his arms and showed it, then he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly put it away.
"I almost forgot, father, are you from Twilight City? I can't show it to you."
Four-star level equipment? ?
Jonah was a little confused.
This kind of blueprint of a top treasure is a rare treasure even in the Luanwei Flower Merchant Guild.
Even if he hadn't joined for a certain number of years, he wouldn't be able to contact him. Now the other party just gave the blueprints to Andiel, a newly promoted blacksmith?
What kind of treatment is this?
"Your Excellency Onik"
Only then did Andiel remember that there were other people, wiped her tears, and suddenly invited with some embarrassment.
"You must be the one who told my father about me, right? Thank you for your hard work. Come in and sit down and have a sip of tea."
Onik shook his head.
"I will not participate in the reunion of your father and daughter. I will also go to ask for an audience with Mr. Richard."
After hearing this, Andele didn't force herself. After a few polite words, she happily led Jonah into the blacksmith shop.
Jonah also suppressed the doubts in his heart and prepared to go upstairs to have a good chat about what all this was about.
But just as he was about to step onto the stairs, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the 15-meter-tall extraordinary hunter in the backyard through the half-open back door.
As a top forger who is one step away from becoming a master blacksmith.
What an excellent eye he had.
He stopped instantly.
With a shocked tone, he pointed at the mechanical puppet in the backyard.
Trembling.
"Then, what is that??"
Andel was startled and quickly closed the door.
"Master Richard did not agree to let outsiders study it."
He said embarrassedly.
"That's the mechanical puppet that Lord Richard specially left for me to study."
Specially for you to study? ?
Jonah felt a huge shock.
Although he was only shocked for a moment, he was extremely sure that it was a mechanical puppet made by a master who was countless times more powerful than him.
Although there is a lot of distance between the blacksmith and the mechanical puppeteer, they are essentially processing materials to maximize their performance.
He knows the value of this mechanical puppet better than Aundair.
If this were placed in the Luanwei Flower Merchant Guild, it would probably be locked in the most tightly guarded treasure house.
Not to mention studying it in the backyard, even if you take a look at it, you have to apply.
But for such a precious treasure, the lord just left it in the backyard for Andele to study at will? ? What the hell kind of treatment is this?
Is this still an inconspicuous territory built in the desert?
He felt that some of his concepts were collapsing.
