Chapter 637 Ice and Fire City, Ins and Outs
"Two cowards."
The Lord of Havi City found it right, and the two of them did commit suicide. He threw the sleeves of the leather robe and shouted: "Duan Ganmu, take two people and drag the bodies of these two cowards out and burn them!"
Duan Ganmu, the Xuanshi with deep eye sockets and reddish-brown marks on his cheeks, agreed, carefully lifted the two men's corpses with mysterious power and walked out of the city.
"Brother Xu, I believe your opinion now. This time, there are really illegal people who are secretly ignorant of the monsters, wanting to put my Ice and Fire City into great turmoil! Humph, don't care about the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people of our Noso barbarians?"
Lord Haway roared in a low voice.
"I remember that Brother Xu heard the strange flute sound at that time and went to chase him. I wonder if there was any result?" Wu Matai asked.
Xu Yang shook his head: "There is only one man in black robe who was caught up by me. However, this man is very strange. He doesn't seem to have a trace of a living aura, and it seems that he escaped in the end."
"Master Lord, what should we do now?" Wu Matai asked.
"Send a message to Dugu City for help," Lord Hawei City looked grim, "Request the Haiyun Shangguo to send experts to find out the reason."
"City Lord, those people from Haiyun Shangguo can't afford to see us Nosso people. Do you want to bow your head to them?" Wu Matai couldn't help but say.
"Of course I don't want to do it either, but it's related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Nosso people. I can't just consider the face." Lord Havi sighed and said.
Wu Matai shook his head and had to turn around and execute the city lord's order.
"Xiawei Xuanzong, this Kanli City seems a bit strange? Why is it called Ice and Fire City? And the level of cultivation in the city is so low? Also, I wish I could only be the realm of Xuanzong. According to the regulations of Haiyun Shangguo, it seems that it is not enough to be the lord of a city, right?" Xu Yang asked.
Lord Haway sighed: "I know Brother Xu has many questions in his heart. Let's go back to Wrangler Inn, and I will explain it to you one by one."
Back in the inn, Lord of Xiawei told Xu Yang about the current situation of Kanli City.
It turns out that the main people living in Kanli City are the Nosso barbarians.
Similar to the Northern Wilderness Barbarians, the Noso barbarians also have some physiological differences from the ordinary humans in the Tianxuan Continent. They are thicker and taller in their average body shape, and their hair is thicker. That's all, the lifestyle, ideas, and mainstream human concepts of the Noso barbarians are also different from the mainstream human concepts of the Tianxuan Continent. They believe in the barbarian gods and advocate combat and glory. They believe that the heroic dead will receive guidance from the barbarian gods and go to the holy land of the Mansheng Heaven.
The Noso barbarians lived at the junction of Xuanbing Abyss and Doomsday Volcano for generations. They built a city on the mountain and named it Ice and Fire City.
Ice and Fire City is a treasure land. Because it is near the Doomsday Volcano, many places have geothermal heat to provide heating, unlike other areas in the Northern Region. It is extremely cold and ordinary people cannot survive at all.
Later, the Xuanzhe from Haiyun Shang Kingdom discovered the Ice and Fire City. On the grounds that it was within the jurisdiction of Haiyun Shang Kingdom, he forced Xuanjun, Xuanzong and other figures to come here and take up the posts of city lord, garrison general, etc., and renamed the Ice and Fire City to Kanli City.
If the city lord sent by Haiyun Shang Kingdom and the general was diligent and loved the people. It would be fine. The Noso barbarians admired the strong, and as long as they did not affect their lives and obeyed the governance of Haiyun Shang Kingdom, it would not be unacceptable. But the blame was that the city of Ice and Fire was too desolate and there were no Xuanshi ore veins around. Every Xuanjun who served here regarded the position of "Kanlijun" as a tragic chore.
The Ren City Lord, Kan Lijun, bought real estate in Dugu City, thousands of miles away, and lived in Dugu City with his descendants. He almost never stepped into Kan Li City.
The garrison general also followed suit and did not care about the garrison work in Kanli City. The 300 Haiyun Guoxuan Army troops he left behind were even more worried about the crisis of monsters siege the city. They ran away and scattered, and the 300 Xuanjuns were in name only.
It doesn't matter if no one cares about it. Anyway, the Nosso people are used to free tribal life and do not care about it. However, the Lord of Kanli still imposes heavy taxes on all the Nosso people, which arouses the hostility of the Nosso barbarians.
But given that the Kanli City Lord occupied the righteousness assigned by the Haiyun Shangguo, the Nosso people could not afford it, so they had to pay taxes. However, they paid the taxes but did not get any reward. The Kanli City Lord, the garrison general and others didn't care about the monster's siege.
Among the Noso barbarians, they followed their ancient methods and selected the strongest warriors to serve as the "Lord of Ice and Fire City", leading the Noso barbarians to fight against the invasion of monsters. The current Ice and Fire City Lord is Xia Wei, who was born into the Noso barbarians, and the position of this city lord was not appointed by Haiyun Shangguo.
Xu Yang finally figured it out that Xia Wei was equivalent to a native chief, not an official from Haiyun Shangguo.
"No wonder when the Noso people mentioned Haiyun Shangguo and Dugucheng, they looked disapproving and even a little hostile." Xu Yang said.
The Lord of Haway was worried that Xu Yang would misunderstand and hurriedly said, "Brother Xu, although we Nosso people are resentful, they have always abide by the laws and regulations. The taxes that should be paid will not be missing."
"The Lord of Haway misunderstood," Xu Yang shook his head and said, "I don't care about these things. Since I came here to be a garrison general, I have to take responsibility and guard the safety of one side. This is also a necessary experience for me."
"If Brother Xu can stay in Ice and Fire City for a long time, that would be the luck of all Nosso people." The Lord of Havi said happily. He had seen Xu Yang's strength and thought he was not as good as this genius boy. If Xu Yang wanted to stay, even if there were monsters to attack the city, they would not be afraid at all.
Xu Yang naturally would not refuse. He still had a good impression of these enthusiastic and generous barbarians.
"This time, many barbarian elephants actually participated in the siege, which is very strange. I guess these big guys were bewitched by the mysterious man in black. City Lord, do you know where these barbarian elephants usually come from?" Xu Yang asked.
"These big guys can only appear in Xuanbing Abyss. They usually eat snow vines, jade lotus fruits and other plants in Xuanbing Abyss, but they do not eat people. So the man elephant siege may be controlled by others." Lord Hawei replied in agreement.
"Since that's the case, I plan to explore Xuanbing Abyss to see if something happened in it." Xu Yang thought for a while and said. The mysterious man in black aroused Xu Yang's great curiosity. Since the other party has disappeared, if you want to find it again, you can only search from the place where he is most likely to appear.
