No wonder those Jiu Yuan Peoples are nervous. It's really an old man who they depended on.

  But the old man's smile is very gentle and his eyes are warm, which makes people feel good at first sight.

  The warrior's expression calmed down slightly and he saluted the old man with a spear. "This witch, these two moat warriors will take you to the temple."

  Yan Mo nodded to him, "Thank you, son."

  "Others…… For the first time, you don't have a fixed foothold in the city. In order to avoid you running around and offending unnecessary people, we will arrange a place for you to live. You have to pay yuan-crystal coins, the cheapest is five 1st rank yuan-crystal coins for one day, but the place is enough for so many of you to live.

  As soon as Yuan Zhan heard that he was going to be separated from Yan Mo, he immediately said, "Can we go to the temple together? We won't go in, just wait outside."

  Elder Hao came over. "They can stay with us without looking for another place."

  The warrior, "Do you know The Great Obscuri?"

  Elder Hao was about to reply when Yan Mo first smiled and said, "No, I don't know them. We met them on the road and exchanged some food with them."

  Elder Hao did not understand what he meant, but he did not refute it. Yan Mo just didn't want for anything that might happen to him and Yuan Zhan in The Black Earth City or Tucheng-Earth City in the future, to go affecting The Great Obscuri Tribe.

  The warrior asked Yan Mo, "Are you sure you want to live with The Obscuri Tribesmen?"

  "If you have plans, that's the best." Yuan Zhan saw Yan Mo's eyes and understood what he meant.

  The warrior did not seem to be surprised by the choice of the Jiu Yuan People, he called two warriors waiting on one side, "You take them to the temple, and then you take them to the Hundred-Battalions in north of the city."

  "Thank you, little brother." Yan Mo thanked the warrior with a bone stick in one hand and a left chest in the other.

  The warrior's face remained stern without a smile, but he suddenly whispered to Yan Mo, "The Witch of Jiu Yuan, the temple can see through all witchcraft, that is a place where you can't lie."

  The warrior said that and returned to his post.

  Yan Mo remembered this sentence and laughed. He called Ding Ning, took out a small box of wound medicine from his pocket and asked him to slip it into the warrior and tell him how to use it.

  The warrior did not refuse the gift because it was too shabby. He turned back and made an acknowledging gesture.

  Maybe it's because Yan Mo's appearance is easy to make people feel good and friendly. Maybe their little leader gave them a word beforehand. The two moat warriors who led the way were not domineering or urging them, but were silently walking in the front.

  The Obscuri Tribesmen saw that the warrior who led the way, he did not stop them and came along with the Jiu Yuan People.

  "Witch Mo, I'm sorry. I didn't know that the witches had to go to the temple to see him when they enter into the city." Elder Hao quickly explained.

  "It's all right. I understand why the witches of all the tribes will not leave their tribes casually. Do you know anything about the Temple of The Black Earth City?"

  Elder Hao shook his head. "The shrines of every city are the most mysterious. The warriors there are also the most loyal and powerful. It's hard for us to know anything about the shrines."

  "Where is the hundred town camp in the north of the city?"

  "I know there. In fact, we will stay in the north of the city, and the Black Earth City people basically live anywhere but the north of the city, Hundred-Battalions camp is to provide tribes and affiliated downtown ambassadors, businessmen and other places to live. But if it is not for the guests invited by The Black Earth City, they will pay Yuan-crystal coins to live in the Hundred-Battalion camp. The cheapest house there will also cost yuan-crystal coins for a day, which is quite a cheap bargain.

  In a few sentences, they followed the leading warrior around two walls and through another door before they really entered The Black Earth City.

  Yuan Zhan whispered to Yan Mo, "Are they making so many walls and turning around to prevent the enemy from rushing in all the way when they are attacked?"

  "Yes."

  "This what we're going to do when we get back."

  "I have a better design, wait till I get back."

  Once in town, Ding Fei and Da-da immediately "wow".

  "Many people!" Ding Ning also exclaimed.

  Jiu Feng's paw clawed Yan Mo's skirt and slipped out a small head, which Yan Mo pushed back with his finger.

  The Obscuri Tribesman straightened his chest and was a little proud of Ding Ning and Ding Fei's surprise. Bing squinted at them and gave them a cold hum. Wouldn't there be more people?

  Yan Mo had a strange sense of familiarity, not that he had been to the city, nor that he seen people here, but that the lively atmosphere reminded him of his past life.

  Although the population of the Black Earth City is not at all comparable to that of any other city in his previous life, it is much more than the Jiu Yuan.

  The streets of the Black Earth City are not as spacious and clean as the Jiu Yuan, here garbage, sewage and animal manure are everywhere. People live, walk and trade in these streets.

  The children came out of the street alley in groups, chasing and tumble, and ran away.

  Two women were tearing each other's hair at a well in the street, beating and scolding each other, and gathering the crowd.

  Warriors in leather armor, armed with spears, marched through the streets.

  In the roadside shop, the sound of "pong" beating on wood is endless.

  A group of naked slaves dragged huge stones with ropes from the other side of the gate and whipped them into another street that looked cleaner.

  "This way." The warriors who led the way turned back and warned them not to go wrong.

  As soon as you enter the city gate, it is not a straight road, but a crisscross intersection. You can see several streets, some busy and some quiet.

  The moat warriors took them on the left side of the road, which was relatively quiet, but on both sides of the road were shops, selling meat and fur the most.

  Da-da saw a row of big fish heads hanging on the doorway of a shop and wiped his saliva.

  After that, they came to a street that seemed to specialize in making pockets and weapons. Then they crossed a flat road paved with big stones, passed a huge square with the statue of an eagle in the center, and came to a huge building built of huge black stones.

  Everything is huge. That's Yan Mo's impression of the Black Earth City Center.

  Yuan Zhan and others could not help but raise their heads. The building was very tall, probably the most central spire they saw on the highlands outside the city.

  It was not seen outside the city, but found here that the building was not a single one, but a pagoda-shaped complex.

  The building group consists of three huge stone buildings with a tr

  iangular shape.

  T

  \r \r \r

  hese three megalithic stones are also the cornerstones of spires, like towers.

  Above the base there are layers of tower chambers, up to the top of the spire.

  "Wow, it's so high that it deserves to be a middle city, and it is no worse than our Jiu Yuan." The last sentence of Ding Fei is very quiet.

  Ding Ning flicked him on the forehead.

  Ding Fei grinned with pain.

  Da-da reached out to knead Ding Fei and was pushed by Ding Fei.

  Yuan Zhan looked up and down at the giant pagoda-shaped building, seemingly trying to keep its structure in mind.

  "The Jiu Yuan site is large and have no need for such a high building. I like things closer to the ground." Yan Mo seemed to see what he was thinking and hit him lightly.

  "The stone house we live in is too small. You should live in a bigger one. It should be bigger and better than that!" Yuan Zhan is serious.

  Yan Mo laughed and rubbed his hair casually. "Let's talk about it later."

  At this time, the two warriors stopped and stood under the steps of the black megalithic building. They turned back and said, "There is the temple in front of you. Don't walk around, just wait here. Come with us, witch."

  Yuan Zhan stepped forward and said, "I am a warrior of our great witch. Where does the great witch go and where do I go?"

  "No!" The two warriors refused, "We can only take the witch into the temple. The warriors are not allowed to step into the temple."

  Yan Mo pressed Yuan Zhan, "Two of their own warriors will not go in. Did you say that this building is a temple, and the other two are Wu Shang noble’s palaces?

  The two warriors did not reply, "If you are allowed to stay, you will know later."

  Yan Mo nodded, turned to Yuan Zhan and told them to wait in place. He quietly moved Jiu Feng out of his arms and put him in his arms.

  Yuan Zhan grabbed his arm. "Be careful. If the sun gets in the middle and you haven't come out yet, I'll go to you. "

  "Look at Da-da and don't let them get into trouble." There were also many people outside the temple and on the square. Although their dress was not noticeable, poor appearance sometimes brought trouble.

  There are many high steps. Yan Mo probably counted them down. There are about ninety-nine steps.

  As a matter of fact, the unauthorized warriors were not allowed to enter the temple. The two warriors who led the way sent Yan Mo to a side door of the temple. They explained Yan Mo's origin to the warriors who guarded the door there, then they stepped aside and motioned Yan Mo to follow the people inside.

  As soon as Yan Mo entered the temple, he first smelled a faint fragrance.

  Then he saw a stone carved incense burner at intervals along the road inside the hall, from which the fragrance came.

  It's the hideous luxury. The temple is willing to use so many spices in the first place.

  He seems to remember that spices belonged to luxury goods in ancient times. Or does the Black Earth City cultivate this perfume?

  This fragrance seems to have a calming effect, a little like sandalwood, and there seems to be a little white magnolia fragrance in the middle, no, this fragrance……

  Yan Mo bowed his head and remembered what the warrior had said to him. His eyes were dull. What should he do?

  Take the corresponding antidote? But he already felt something staring at him.

  Thanks to the special constitution given to him by the guide, the effect of this medicine on him will not exceed three minutes. If someone comes to ask him something at this time, he may not be able to resist confession, but after three minutes, when his body slowly adapts to the drug and be able to resist it, if you want to ask the truth from his mouth again? Ha-ha!

  "Little Wu, is there anything good in this temple?" You are not benevolent, I am a scum, who let them come up on the use of psychotropic drugs to harm them and not compensate them.

  Wu Guo responded after a while. "It seems that there is, I'm not sure. I'm losing half of my strength and my sensing ability is not as good as before. I have to be very close to feel it."

  "Then you'd better try to be sensitive, otherwise you can't eat good food."

  Wu Guo hummed twice and said nothing. I don't know if he tried to feel it.

  The gatekeeper took Yan Mo only a short distance, and after crossing a stone gate, handed him over to a young god servant in his twenties.

  The fragrance was stronger here.

  The God servant stood on the steps, dressed in white linen gowns, tied with belts in the middle, one arm bare outside, two yellow bone rings with gems on the arms, and looked down at Yan Mo.

  "Are you from the tribe at the end of the Black Water River?" The God servant seemed to ask carelessly.

  Yan Mo lowered his head. "Yes."

  "Your tribe is called The Jiu Yuan?"

  "Yes."

  "Raise your head."

  Yan Mo looked up, a little confused.

  The young god servant laughed proudly, and the expression was like the barefoot doctor in the remote countryside seen by the flown down disciples of the great powers.

  "Tell me your name witch."

  "Mo, my witch name is Mo."

  "What magic power do you have?"

  "My witchcraft…… My body can grow wooden thorns, like, like this. The old man seemed to struggle a little, but soon he was quiet again and grew a wooden thorn from his palm to show to the young god servant.

  "Is it toxic?"

  "No."

  The God servant took the wooden thorn and looked around it for a while. He found nothing special and threw it to the side of the bowl.

  "What else can you do?"

  "I will also boil herbs to help heal my tribesmen wounds."

  “Is any of it poisonous? How many? Did you bring it?”

  "Poison? No, ancestral God does not allow me to use poison. Any act of a mean person and that person will be punished by the ancestral God. "

  "Ancestors? A small tribe dares to utter the name of ancestor god." The young servant mocked his, "What is your source of witchcraft?"

  "Sources of witchcraft? I don't know."

  "I beg your pardon. You awakened a blood ability, but there is no blood ability mark on your face. Do you know how to hide the mark?”

  "Yes, there was once a nomadic warrior who passed by us and exchanged food and women with us for this method."

  "What level of the blood ability are you now?"

  "2nd rank."

  "Such an old man and only stuck at 2nd rank?" The young god servant was even more disdainful. "What are the most powerful warriors in your family? What is their abilities”?

  Yan Mo's answer was about the performance of Yuan Zhan after that. He should have honestly said that Yuan Zhan could control the soil. But somehow he suddenly thought of the legend of the Black Earth City. He thought that the ruler of the city was also puffin himself in the name of being blessed by the blood of the earth. Now the words changed temporarily to: “Our most powerful warrior is also a blood ability 2nd rank, his ability is to control plants."

  Yuan Zhan, who was waiting under the steps outside the temple, suddenly felt itchy in his ears and somehow gave birth to a feeling that he was in great trouble.

  Inside the temple, the minister was still asking, "Oh? It seems that your family may have some of the wood blood.

  "Yes."

  "Did you bring yuan-crystal coins? How many? What are the grades?”

  "Yes, there are only 1st rank yuan-crystal coins, 130 of them."

  The God servant seemed to have lost the mood to ask more questions, but perhaps his duty was to ask questions one after another, including the population, specialties, climate and living environment of the Jiu Yuan people.

  Yan Mo answered them one by one as he remembered The Yuan Ji Tribe.

  "You said your warriors were going to Black Earth Training Camp to challenge their training leaders to qualify for selection?"

  "Yes."

  "Sigh! Good luck to you. When you go out later, the doorman will issue you with a white sign. If you want to walk, live or trade in The Black Earth City, you must wear that sign. If the sign is lost, you will be caught and killed as spies immediately. Go on!"

  Yan Mo walked backwards.

  "Little Wu?"

  "Inside…… It's even more inside. It looks delicious. Go inside a little more."

  "No chance, next time."

  When he reached the gate of the temple, the guards showed Yan Mo six white dominoes, but they did not give them to him immediately.

  Wu Guo suddenly said, "Hey?"

  Yan Mo immediately asked in his mind, "What did you find?"

  "Grab those dominoes!" Wu Guo seemed excited, and suddenly shouted in a spiritual voice.

  "Don't shout so loudly in my head, wait."

  When the cold wind blows, the fragrance almost disappeared.

  Yan Mo deliberately shook his head and looked puzzled.

  The gatekeeper had been accustomed to this expression, and one of them laughed low. "People who smell the black bird smell for the first time are always a little out of tune, and you will like it very much when you smell it again."

  "It's the first time I've smelled such a good smell, if only I could exchange it." Yan Mo laughed unconsciously.

  The gatekeeper probably looked at Old-man Yan and looked around. He whispered to him: "if you have yuan-crystal coins and more, you can turn white card into green card. White cards represent the lowest status. You can't get a good price if you want to trade with white cards in the city.”

  "How do I change it? Whom am I to see? How many yuan-crystal coins?

  "This kind of domino can only be changed by Temple God servant. I know a God servant. He is more talkative. A green card only needs ten 2nd rank yuan-crystal coins. Don't worry too much. If you look for someone else, they will surely let you change all the brands into green ones, but they will make you spend more yuan-crystal coins, but in fact you just need to change one."

  "Ten 2nd rank yuan-crystal coins? So much!" Old-man Yan's old face instantly wrinkled into an old chrysanthemum.

  "Well, I don't think it's easy for you to get older, so if you have anything else, you can add a couple of 2nd yuan-crystal coins."

  "Yes, but I don't even have a 2nd rank Yuan-crystal coins."

  "That's impossible. Okay, here's your domino, don't lose it."

  "Wait, can you show me what the green card looks like?" Yan Mo thought Wu Guo was so happy to see the white dominoes. Should he like the green ones better?

  The goalkeeper wondered if he was so old that he grabbed a green card and shook it at him. "See? This is the green card of the higher 1st rank. With it, you can also negotiate a good price if you want to trade with the people in the city.”

  Wu Guo: "No green, take white!"

  Yan Mo looked at the green card enviously. "Can I come after I get the yuan-crystal coins later?"

  "Wait till you get enough yuan-crystal coins. Maybe that will not be the price then." The goalkeeper threw six white dominoes to Old-man Yan and closed the side door, indicating that the reception was over.

  Inside the door, the young god servant was also there. He had been hiding behind the door to listen.

  "They don’t have even 2nd rank yuan-crystal coins can't be brought out. It seems that what he said before should also be true." The "good-hearted" warrior ministered to the young god servant.

  The young God servant waited for him with an "uh" voice and turned to walk inside the temple. He had decided that it was a poor tribe that was not worth noticing, and that it was not even worth taking them over. A 2nd rank warrior, let alone participate in the selection, will probably be killed by the training leader of the Black Earth Warrior Training Camp.”

  Outside the temple, Old-man Yan sighed, seemingly saddened by the poverty of his tribe, but those familiar with him, such as Yuan Zhan, when he first saw him, he knew that the old man was secretly happy.

  "You didn't cause any trouble, did you?" Yan Mo walked down the steps and saw several people opening their mouths.

  Bing rolled his eyes. What can happen in such a short time?

  Ding Ning Ding Fei crowded curious to ask what was inside the temple. Yan Mo handed them the dominoes and told them to wear them well and not to lose them.

  Wu Guo shouted in his head, "Mine! I found it. Give it to me!"

  Yan Mo returned to him: "Go back and we will talk again."

  Yuan Zhan reached out and seemed to hold Yan Mo. In fact, he whispered in his ear, "What good things have you done?"

  Yan Mo looked at the two warriors who were going to take them to Hundred-Battalion camp in the north of the city and whispered, "Your ability to control plants has risen to 2nd, right?"

  "Well. So?" Yuan Zhan felt terrible.

  "So from today on, you'll fight using 2nd rank planting powers!"

  Yuan Zhan, "……"

  Yan Mo patted him on the shoulder. "Child, I believe in you." ——
