Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 88: Five pairs of road wheels
The crowd on the street was still bustling, but it was much quieter than before. Both the stall owner and the passers-by were looking in the direction of the Viscount's Mansion with some doubts at the moment.
Over there, there was a red-red, very tall horse that was slowly slowing down. This horse was extremely strong, over two meters high, and it released amazing heat. The steaming heat wave made the surrounding air tremble distortion.
Obviously, this is a warhorse with the blood of Yanlong and a monster level.
But the most surprising thing is that this horse is quite docile. It noticed the crowd around it and deliberately chose a path that would not bump into anyone, so although the gallop just now sounded extremely uninvited, it actually Except for those who were startled, the entire street was basically unaffected.
The rider is dismounting. He is wearing a full-body heavy armor with black background and gold border. The golden sun eye emblem is branded on his right arm. The iron pot-like helmet covers his face, leaving only a T-shaped observation breathing passage .
"It's the messenger of the imperial capital!"
Ian heard that the owner of the jewelry store on the side was half excited, half sad and said: "It seems that the help from the imperial capital is finally coming—but why is he in such a hurry?"
"Is there any bad news?" Most of the surrounding residents were also suspicious.
"A visitor from the imperial capital?" Ian whispered to himself. Ian didn't know why the boss was worried. The other party's anxiety was obviously an instinctive warning after too much experience.
And he also narrowed his eyes: "It really doesn't feel right. I have seen ordinary aid caravans, and the process is obviously not like this."
Pressing his doubts, he raised his head and stared intently at the Viscount's mansion.
The envoy of the imperial capital came straight to the gate of the Viscount's Mansion. He was not domineering. Facing the gate of the Viscount's Mansion that had not been fully repaired, he still showed his token to the guard very politely—not long after, Ian saw an attendant He led the knight into the mansion, and Viscount Grant was already waiting at the door.
Even with Ian's eyesight, seeing these is the limit. He can only vaguely notice that the imperial envoy did not enter the mansion, but began to report the news after saluting to the viscount.
This news is obviously extremely shocking, because even if the details are not clear, Ian can clearly feel the sudden increase of water vapor in the surrounding air, just like the rainstorm. precursor.
——That was the reaction of the viscount, who was a sublimator of the second energy level, losing control of his emotions for a moment, and it could even be said to be 'extremely shocked'!
Even when he was fighting against the great shaman and the crocodile dragon with the ether armament, Viscount Grant's mood swings were probably not as violent as they are now.
After the report was over, the imperial envoy saluted again, and then politely took his leave.
He rode on the tall horse with the blood of Yanlong, galloped away, and left in a hurry.
No one knows exactly what the messenger and the Viscount exchanged.
But then, as the finance officer, the magistrate, and even Elder Pude and others went to the Viscount's Mansion, and even the village chiefs, mercenaries, and militia leaders from several surrounding villages rushed over from outside the city , everyone knows that something big is going to happen.
The crowd dispersed slowly amidst the uneasiness, and the owner of the jewelry store also muttered absently, "Sure enough, you can't count on the empire", and returned to his store with a sigh.
However, Ian did not leave the jewelry store, but stood by the alley, observing the movement of the Viscount's mansion.
He had plenty of time to wait for the outcome of this matter.
Actually, Ian is not the only one who has the same idea—although Harrison Port is still under reconstruction, those who still have some spare time have not left.
They knew very well that if there was any major event, the viscount would go to the square later to spread the word, and they would be able to get first-hand information.
In this southern border on the edge of human civilization, even the high-ranking lord must work together with his people most of the time.
This may also be the only benefit of the wild land.
However, before the viscount, it was the support convoy from the imperial capital that appeared first.
"Moo—"
The majestic roar of beasts resounded from outside the city, but it could also be clearly heard in the harbor. The sound of continuous trampling could be faintly heard, and the ground trembled slightly under the steps of the beasts.
"This is"
Ian's expression changed, he seemed to hear something from the roar of the beast, and opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly there was another roar of the beast, and this time the roar of the beast had already come to the city.
Dust rose from the city gate, and dark shadows came from the avenue, slowly entering the warehouse area under the watchful eyes of everyone in Port Harrison.
And Ian also saw the source of the roar.
That is a cow.
An unbelievably large cow.
The body more than three meters high is like a moving house, with tinkling wind chimes hanging from the long horns that bend upwards on the top of the head, the unexpectedly docile eyes are like gems, every movement of the body bound by the yoke You can clearly see the thick and clear muscle groups contracting and exercising layer by layer, overflowing with incomparably strong vitality.
"Bison Cow"
Looking at the majestic giant beast, Ian murmured to himself. He couldn't help recalling the origin of the name of the Baisen Mountains: "The giant beasts that live in the snow-covered area in the northern part of the Baisen Mountains are worth as much as one head." Five hundred talers, one of the most expensive and powerful mortal beasts"
When Hilliard explained to him the knowledge and distribution of many monsters in Nanling Province, he still explained to Ian the Bison giant bull alone-although it does not have any sublimation elements, its strength is superior to most of them. It is above the first level of monsters, and is docile and intelligent, and can fight and live with recognized partners.
"Don't think that you are a sublimator, so you can look down on ordinary beasts. You are too young and your body is not yet fully developed, let alone a human body no matter how sublimated it is."
"Even if it is a monster, pure physical strength alone cannot defeat many strong beasts."
This is an example used by the teacher to warn Ian to be humble and cautious, not to be overconfident because of the improvement of strength.
Although Ian has always been cautious, he doesn't mind being more cautious.
It should be noted that the former mountain people relied on 300 'bullriders' to block the advance of the Imperial Halberd Heavy Infantry Regiment. There are still two large boroughs that owe their name to this campaign, not to mention the fact that the mountain folk's reputation for valor has spread throughout the empire.
"An ordinary cow costs more than two hundred talers. I originally thought why a cow is so expensive, and a cow costs five hundred. Now, I'm afraid this may be the internal price that the teacher had something to do with it back then, and the actual market price. It will never be more than doubled!"
The huge convoy drove into the city, and the house-like truck made Ian's breathing even more difficult.
It's not because it's big, it's mainly because Ian saw that the truck has five pairs of road wheels—and tracks!
