Chapter 173 Entering Dragon Spirit Country

Lin Chen entered Dragon Spirit Country smoothly.

He entered through the checkpoints.

Although the border between the two countries was very long, whether it was intentional or a coincidence...

In short, along the long border between the two countries, there were either nests of second-stage monsters or insurmountable mountain barriers, and these checkpoints just perfectly occupied every gap.

It seemed that this division of the national border was premeditated and prepared long ago.

After entering Dragon Spirit Country, Lin Chen put Ling Xiaoya down.

After all, carrying her like that all the time wasn't a good idea.

Lin Chen asked Ling Xiaoya to release her mount.

And Lin Chen also sat on the Flying Sky Rat, flying at low altitude.

The two planned to rush back all the way.

Zhenhai Province wasn't far from the border, so they could definitely make it back today.

Lin Chen could also take the opportunity to familiarize himself with the world after the great change.

He could see a wide road between the vast heaven and earth, and there were quite a few pedestrians on the road, such as the team Lin Chen and Ling Xiaoya encountered now.

They wore gorgeous clothes and had guards in uniform.

There were also many vehicles, loaded with goods.

It looked like a merchant caravan.

Their speed was also unhurried.

Lin Chen and Ling Xiaoya freely followed behind the caravan. The other party naturally noticed them and looked back from time to time. After a while, a person flew into the air, stopped, and said to the two, "What exactly do you two plan to do by following our Chengfa Merchant Company all the way?"

"This road isn't owned by your merchant company, right? This is an official road. Are only you allowed to travel on it?" Ling Xiaoya responded first.

She actually knew that this road was an official road.

Lin Chen didn't know this, so he revealed a puzzled look.

The man in the air immediately changed to a smiling face upon hearing this: "Judging from your pure accents, you should be Blue Star people, right? What a coincidence."

After saying that, he cupped his fist at Lin Chen and Ling Xiaoya.

"How should I address you?"

Lin Chen also cupped his fist in return and then asked about the other party's origins.

In fact, he had always wondered why the people of Dragon Spirit Country could distinguish him as a Blue Star person. After all, Dragon Spirit Country was a human country, and although some people had different skin colors and different hair colors, it shouldn't be so easy to distinguish.

Now, Lin Chen had some idea in his mind.

They should be distinguishing their identities by accent and clothing.

Moreover, the accent of Blue Star people wasn't bad, on the contrary, it was the purest common language of Blue Star: Mandarin!

It was also the historical language of the Dragon Country.

"My name is Wente."

The man smiled at Lin Chen and said, "This time we plan to go to Zhenhai Province to do business. I heard that there is a city of Blue Star people there. Our Chengfa Merchant Company is planning to contact you... Do you two know about Tianyue City?"

"I know!" Ling Xiaoya opened her mouth.

Lin Chen quickly stopped her from continuing and said preemptively, "We're just about to seek refuge with the City Lord of Tianyue City."

"Is it called Lin Chen, right?"

Wente looked very happy and extended an invitation to the two: "Then we can travel together. You may not know much about Tianyue City. I know some things related to them, and we can exchange information along the way."

Lin Chen didn't refuse.

This Wente, although dressed as a Dragon Spirit Country merchant, didn't seem weak. At least he was at the first stage, because Lin Chen couldn't see through his strength. However, judging from Wente's performance, he didn't seem to have any malice towards Blue Star people.

Originally, Lin Chen was still on guard, after all, one should always be cautious.

However, when he heard that Wente planned to do business with Tianyue City, he believed him.

After all, a merchant's idea was to make money.

They shouldn't look down on Blue Star people. As long as there was money to be made, even if you weren't human, they would treat you like a king.

Lin Chen agreed to Wente's request and took Ling Xiaoya into his car.

However, before getting in the car, Lin Chen specifically asked Ling Xiaoya to follow him and put the three pets into a state of possession.

In this way, they could respond to sudden situations at any time.

Wente's car was very big.

Moreover, it was very luxurious.

There was even a tea table in the car.

Wente invited Lin Chen and Ling Xiaoya to sit down, and then a maid came to make tea.

Such a life was clearly enjoyed by rich people.

While drinking tea, Wente was also chatting with Lin Chen: "Don't worry, you two. I, Wente, am a merchant and am not interested in anything other than making money. I am from the Imperial City of Dragon Spirit Country. The reason why I want to go to Tianyue City to do business is because... I heard some rumors from above."

"Oh?"

Lin Chen asked, "From above, could it be referring to the King of Dragon Spirit Country?"

"Hehe, there's no need to be so clear about that."

Wente didn't say everything. He was quite cautious in this regard. He said with a smile, "In short, the higher-ups have already ordered the acceptance of Tianyue City and recognized its existence. This means that the residents of Tianyue City will also obtain the identity of citizens of Dragon Spirit Country. Of course, I don't know exactly what administrative powers the king will give Tianyue City. But the only thing I know is that such a big city with so many people, the right to conduct business must be autonomous. In other words, this is a market of hundreds of thousands of people!"

It seemed that, in Wente's eyes, Tianyue City was an undeveloped commercial treasure.

No wonder he was going to Tianyue City all the way from the Imperial City.

Moreover, he was going in person.

"Judging from your tone, you seem to be very much looking forward to this trip to Tianyue City." Lin Chen began to probe.

Wente was so happy. Did he think that he, the City Lord of Tianyue City, would definitely agree to do business with him?

At this time, Wente smiled: "Actually, I don't have much confidence in gaining the friendship of Blue Star people, but in short, I have to try... By the way, aren't you two going to Tianyue City too? Hehe, we can take care of each other along the way. When we get to Tianyue City, I hope you two can say a few good words to your City Lord on my behalf."

"That's easy to say."

Lin Chen agreed.

Wente was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately clapped his hands.

Soon, a maid came in carrying a plate of gold coins.

"A little something, just a token of my appreciation, haha..."

Wente said with a smile, placing the gold coins in front of Lin Chen and Ling Xiaoya.

"Then thank you, Mr. Wente! To be honest, you are the most generous Dragon Spirit Country person we have ever met to Blue Star people." Lin Chen smiled and asked Ling Xiaoya to put away the gold.

Ling Xiaoya said softly in Lin Chen's ear, "Wow, they are all 10,000 gold each. There must be millions of gold coins here!"

Lin Chen remained expressionless upon hearing this.

But his mind became active.

This Wente was very good at dealing with people.

Moreover, it could be seen that he was an extremely pure businessman.

He really wanted to enter the market of Tianyue City.

What about Lin Chen's side?

Indeed, he also needed to contact the outside world.

However...

Judging from Wente's performance, Lin Chen felt that he couldn't easily agree to him.

"After returning, I must first extort a sum from him, but I can't be too ruthless..."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

The caravan quickly entered Zhenhai Province.

Along the way, Lin Chen saw many monster nests, but strangely, these monsters rarely approached the official road. This further confirmed a guess of Lin Chen... He had always suspected that these monsters that ravaged Blue Star were actually beasts raised by these invaders.

These invaders were called demon beasts.

Back then, Jin Qiang almost went to war with the Sea Demon Clan because a member of the Sea Demon Clan crossed the border and ate a demon beast from Dragon Spirit Country!

Judging from Jin Qiang's reaction at the time, it was as if that demon beast was the property of Dragon Spirit Country.

The Sea Demon Clan had broken the rules!

That was why Jin Qiang was so angry.

After driving along the official road for thousands of miles, they saw a huge city.

This city was indeed very big!

The city walls alone were hundreds of meters high.

Two or three times higher than Tianyue City.

Lin Chen recognized it at a glance!

Because, in the "New World" online game, this city was one of the ten main cities of the human race in the game, Falling Leaf City.

Looking from a distance, one could see a huge tree in the city, towering a thousand meters high, standing in the center of the city. This tree was known as the Evergreen Tree, and it was said to have existed for more than ten thousand years. Its branches and leaves had spread out to cover the entire Falling Leaf City.

Because the city was often covered with fallen leaves of the Evergreen Tree, and these fallen leaves could also be used to make medicine, the city was named 'Falling Leaf'.

And now, Falling Leaf City, one of the ten main cities of the human race in the game, had become the provincial capital of Zhenhai Province.

This couldn't help but make Lin Chen suspect that Dragon Spirit Country was the only human kingdom among all the alien races that invaded Blue Star.

After all, the current world of Blue Star was actually formed by the background of the "New World" online game, and there were countless connections. And there were only ten main cities of the human race in the game.

Now, one had appeared in Zhenhai Province.

The entire Dragon Spirit Country had more than ten provinces!

Seeing Lin Chen staring at Falling Leaf City, Wente smiled: "Little brother, do you want to go to Falling Leaf City? If little brother isn't in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry either."

"No, thank you."

Lin Chen shook his head.

He couldn't go to Falling Leaf City right now.

If he went, his identity might be exposed.

"Okay, then we'll go directly to Tianyue City."

Wente said, taking out a map.

This was the first time Lin Chen had seen the entire map of Zhenhai Province.

To Lin Chen's surprise, it was almost exactly the same as the layout around Falling Leaf City in the game!

The only difference was that there was now a Tianyue City, located three thousand miles northeast of Falling Leaf City.

In this way, a map of the entire Dragon Spirit Country was instantly generated in Lin Chen's mind...

Then, going north from Tianyue City was the Great River that ran through the entire Dragon Spirit Country.

Then there was Beihai Province.

And Beihai Province wasn't very deep, only one thousand five hundred miles. Above that was Yinlong Fortress.

Lin Chen remembered that Yinlong Fortress was very close to Icewind City!

So, was there a way to connect Tianyue City and Icewind City into one piece?

The update is finished today, it's a little late.
