The north wind blows, and the flowing clouds rush away.

On a three-storey black stone bell tower in Longlance Town, a wind beacon made of iron sheet blew properly. This sharp sound is really unpleasant, so passers-by pass by under the bell tower. Don't pass by while covering your ears. The watcher of the clock tower, a hunched old man took a sip of wine and smacked his lips and said: "This **** thing, one day I will pick you off and throw it into the stove to see you melt into iron!" /

This small town is located to the south of the Devil’s Throat, only a mountain away from the lava-filled land. Whenever the wind blows from the north, it will bring a strong heat, so even in winter, Longlance Town does not suffer from the harsh winter like other cities in the north. But the life of the residents in the town is not necessarily so happy. Due to the proximity of the devil's throat, crops are difficult to grow here, and animals are even rarer, so it becomes difficult to make a living.

Iron shop is a major feature of the town. There are many blacksmiths in the town, and they are distributed in the streets and alleys. The iron-making industry has become the main business of the residents of the town. Here you can go to any iron shop and you can see many shields and spears displayed to the guests outside the shop. Dragon Spear Town is famous for making spears. The residents of this town come from a dying tribe, and the tribe named Gao Cang has inherited the craftsmanship of spear casting from generation to generation. The spears cast by them are of high quality, and the men in the tribe are almost all first-rate gunners. The spears they throw can shoot hares that flee from a hundred meters away.

It's just that the temperament of the tall people is as hard as the spears they cast. Many lords have recruited them, but they would rather live in this difficult town than be instigated by others. Dragon Spear Town is like a black nail, deeply rooted in this barren land.

It was noon, and the watchman of the clock tower climbed up the spiral staircase with difficulty and banged the iron clock upstairs. Then he took out a pipe and took a few puffs. The old man held on to the fence and watched the unchanging scene of the town over the past ten years. At this time, he said "Huh", as far as his eyes could reach, a team was staggering from outside the town.

There are few visitors in Longlance Town, and during the year, only two or two weapons merchants visit. Although the spears cast by the tall men are of high quality, they have a weird temper and a long distance, so it is not easy to do business with them. At this time, it was earlier than the time when the merchants visited in previous years, so after the team entered the town, the residents of the town stopped working, looking at them curiously but vigilantly. There were even children who picked up a stone on the side of the road and threw it towards the team, but it was blocked by the burly warrior holding a shield. The child's parents hurriedly dragged it off the side of the road, but there was no reproach, and there was a vague hostility in their eyes looking at the team.

In one of the carriages, a blonde girl poked her head out and said to a young knight nearby: "It seems we are not welcome here."

"I think so, but after walking for so long, everyone needs a place to rest. In any case, let's take a rest in this town for the time being today, not to mention that we have to explore the way to the imperial capital." The knight smiled.

Looking for a place to stay in a hotel, a group of men stopped the team. The head is an old man with gray hair, his features are profound, his skin is already covered with spots, but his eyes are still sharp. Dozens of mature men behind him were all wearing their own sewn leather armor, with spears or spears in their hands, and their breath was steady and condensed, which surprised the silver-haired knight slightly. He thought to himself that such a small town had so many savvy fighters. He could clearly see the faint brilliance of the source power on those men. Most of them were fighters of the eleventh level, and the strongest one had at least the fifteenth level. Such a group of soldiers were thrown into the army of any lord, but they could not support much combat power.

But they appeared in an unknown town, which is quite strange.

While the knights were looking at them, these men, especially the old man in the lead, also observed this stubborn team. Judging from the mud and dust on the people and horses, they seemed to have emerged from the ground. Many people's faces were covered with mud and dirt, even the silver-haired knight who was clearly the leader was no exception. It was just that the other parts of this knight's body were stained with mottled color, but the silver hair was still dazzling.

Furthermore, there are many warriors with their own characteristics among them. The knight with a black spear next to the horse, the young man with a double-edged sword hanging on his back, the woman with a dark red long sword and the female dozing with her eyes closed, and a few others are extraordinary. Such a team, no matter where it goes, is enough to arouse the local people's alertness, especially after that incident.

At this moment, the silver-haired knight jumped off his horse, and a kind smile appeared on his face: "Where is this, please?"

The old man was slightly surprised. He didn't know if the other party was a temptation or something else, but he said truthfully: "Dragon Spear Town." He added: "As you can see, my lord, this is located to the south of the devil's throat. We and that piece of Hell is only separated by a mountain."

The knight murmured: "Damn it, it's already in the throat of the devil..." He exhaled, brushed off the lime on his chest and said, "Like you saw it, old sir. We need a place to rest. Is there a hotel in this town?"

"Sorry, we rarely visit from outside, so there is no such thing as a hotel. I suggest you leave the town and go north. After about three kilometers, you will see a road leading to Spirits Town. Let’s rest and have some wine to taste."

The knight nodded: "Trust me, I don't want to disturb you either. But we are tired, neither man nor horse can walk. If you can provide a clearing, and finally approach the water source, let our men and horses rest for a day If you do, I will be very grateful to the old gentleman."

"Is this..." The old man looked at the men behind: "What do you say?"

"Please ask them to leave."

"Maybe it's a conspiracy..."

"Maybe it's just travelers who need help. There are still old people and women in their team."

"Elderly woman? What if one is a guise?"

"When did Gao Cang people become so timid?"

"Hey, what do you mean!"

"Shut up!" The old man snorted and turned around and said, "Okay, my lord, there is a clearing outside the town, and there is a small river nearby, or you can camp there if you don't mind."

"Of course I don't mind. It would be better if the people in the town were willing to sell us some food. The journey was very difficult, we lost some things on the way, and now we urgently need supplies."

The old man sighed: "Dragon Gun Town is not rich, my lord. You may be limited in what you can add, but you still have food for two days a day, as long as you bid fair."

"Thanks again." The knight leaned back and returned to the horse: "Mind if you give us a guide?"

The old man pulled a young man: "Mila will take you to the camp."

So the team left. They set up a tent on a clearing near the river outside the town, lighted a bonfire, and sent soldiers to guard. After the young man named Mila left, the silver-haired knight washed his face with the water sent by the soldiers, revealing a handsome face. He looked in the direction of the town, squinted his eyes and said: "The people in the town don't look as hospitable as Squirrel Town."

"They just said that they are noble people..."

"Farez, do you know them?"

This team is naturally Allen's caravan. After they left Tallinn Aisha, they walked underground for four days before finding an exit. But when he returned to the surface, even Old Ian didn't know where he was. Fortunately, the old man suggested to follow the trend of the water vein. The reason is simple, there will be people where there is water. Some people naturally know where they are. But even Ellen didn't expect that after leaving Tallinn Aisha and walking through the place called the underground tunnel by the residents of Frostwind City, he had already arrived near the Devil's Throat, which was a few days faster than expected.

Farez held the spear in his hand. Since he got the black ice, the mercenary captain almost had to sleep with this black spear: "Gao Cang is actually a tribe. I heard that it was already before the empire was established. Existing, it is a fairly old tribe. After the rise of the empire, the tribe of the High Cang people was unwilling to merge into the empire and became the people of the great emperor, so they hid in the mountains. But with the passage of time, this tribe gradually declined. After the defense, the tribe finally moved out of the mountain and accepted the jurisdiction of the empire, but still settled in the barren land. Unexpectedly, this Dragonlance town was built by the tall people."

"I see a lot of iron shops in the city."

"The Gaocang people’s gun-making craftsmanship is very good, but they have a bad temper, so few people do business with them. Moreover, the gunners of the Gaocang tribe are very famous. Legend has it that the Emperor ** team was founded when the country was founded. Once tried to force the Gaocang clan to submit, but the cavalry of the empire was repelled by the gunners of the Gaocang clan. Later, due to the disparity in military strength, the Gaocang clan retreated into the depths of the mountain."

"So, those men should be their fighters just now." Allen frowned: "It's understandable to have a weird temper, but this is our first visit. Where does their hostility come from."

Farez shrugged his shoulders: "Who knows."

The people in the town were curious about the team that came suddenly, and at the same time maintained some kind of unexplained guard. However, after discovering that the team was camping by the river and only sending people to the town to buy food, they stayed quietly in the camp, and the feeling of alertness of the residents in the town was much lessened.

There is a tavern in the small square in the town. This is the only tavern in the town. On weekdays, the people in the town collectively discuss what to do in the tavern. For example, at this moment, the old people who stopped Allen and his party and dozens of men crowded in the tavern. There were residents outside the tavern who came after hearing the news. , Hundreds of people squeezed the tavern to a squeeze.

"The mayor, the **** Peel said, if we don’t move away, he will use force. But within two days there are so many people here, don’t you be afraid that they are Peel’s people? If we attack us at night, everyone in the town will not be in danger!" In the tavern, a big beard patted the table and said.
