Inside The Black Mist Chapter 897: Close parishes
"The plain where Harvest Fort is located is fertile. Besides growing crops, there is also a special product here."
Maybe in the future, he is about to make some big deals, so Zhang Rui is in a good mood now, and he keeps telling Tianyang and the others about the situation of Harvest Fort.
"Guess what it is, ha, it's rubber. The rubber trees planted here, the raw rubber produced every year meets the needs of the nearby fortress, and is also sent to other places in the Eastern Continent."
Zhang Rui said proudly: "The Ruby Chamber of Commerce is in charge of this work. Harvest Fort sells their raw rubber to more places through us. Both of us only trade raw rubber every year." , you can make a lot of money."
"In addition, there are so many kinds of fruits in Harvest Fort, there are too many to eat. Their fruit farmers sometimes have to mix the unsalable fruits with the livestock feed and use them as part of the feed."
Zhang Rui said very familiarly: "We will go through the formalities later. After checking into the hotel, there will be a plate full of fruit in each room. You can eat as you like. If it is not enough, tell the hotel and they will replenish it. , and it's free."
"If you walk on the street and see some fruit that you think is good, you can try it for free. Even if you don't buy it after eating, the stall owner will not say anything, and even give you some."
Tianyang was speechless to himself. It sounded like Harvest Fort had a lot of food, and there were too many fruits to eat.
Xiao Xiang squeezed over, the little guy traveled with his father and learned a lot.
"Brother Tianyang, when you arrive at Harvest Fort, you must try their mince wine. It is brewed with many fruits, and the alcohol concentration is very low. It can be drunk as a drink."
Xiaoqing also nodded at the side: "Yes, even we can drink, I can drink two bottles at a time!"
"I can drink five bottles!" Xiao Xiang stood up and announced proudly.
Besides, Xiaoqing looked elsewhere: "You can drink, but after drinking, you will wet the bed that night."
"Sister!"
Xiaoxiang cried out, and the boy's face turned red.
Amidst the laughter of the siblings, they finally arrived at Harvest Fort. Unlike Twilight Fort, Harvest Fort seems to have very loose management of outsiders. Not only important figures from the Ruby Chamber of Commerce can enter the fortress, but also other members of the caravan, including guards.
It's just that Tu Moshan felt that the procedures for entering and exiting were too troublesome, so he let other people stay outside the fortress. Therefore, Harvest Fort set aside an open space for the caravan to facilitate their stationing.
After setting up the caravan, led by Tu Moshan, twenty or so people from the chamber of commerce took seven or eight magnetic vehicles and entered the fortress.
After crossing the towering city wall, Tianyang saw that the roads of Harvest Fort are very spacious, which can accommodate five or six magnetic energy vehicles walking side by side. Tall trees are planted on both sides of the road, thus leaving a cool shade on the side of the road.
The buildings on both sides of the road are not tall, and the tallest ones are only four or five stories high. The buildings here are mostly wooden structures, and the roofs are almost herringbone structures.
Zhang Rui explained that there is a lot of rain here, and the herringbone roof is better for drainage.
Because there is a lot of rain, Harvest Fort's underground drainage system is very developed. They even dug underground water storage spaces with a height of about 30 meters underground to ensure that the city will not be flooded by rain in the rainy season.
Just like what Zhang Rui said, when they passed a commercial street, Tianyang saw that there were so many fruit shops, and many of the stalls had so many fruits that they were casually packed in bamboo baskets, allowing passers-by to pick them up at will Food.
"Strange."
Zhang Rui looked out the window, frowning, not knowing what was so strange.
Tianyang looked at him, and the owner of the Ruixiang caravan pointed around and said, "If it was this time in previous years, Harvest Fort should have started preparing for the celebration. But now, there is no atmosphere here."
Xiaoxiang also said: "And they are too quiet, no one shouts, no one even talks."
Reminded by the boy, Tianyang indeed found that the passers-by were in a hurry, and everyone was serious and silent. Even when he was talking, he lowered his voice, so that apart from the sound of cars and the wind, he couldn't hear any other sounds on the road.
It's kind of weird.
However, why does Tianyang take it to heart. For him, Harvest Fort is just a stop on the journey, and it is certainly good to be able to participate in the celebration and feel the atmosphere.
If he can't, he doesn't think it's a pity.
By the time the magnetic energy vehicle stopped, they had already arrived at a hotel. Although this hotel is low, its building area is not small. It even has a parking lot that can accommodate forty or fifty magnetic energy vehicles.
When you entered the gate of the hotel, you could smell a strong fruity aroma. There were seven or eight plates of fruit on the reception desk next to it.
At this time, Tu Moshan laughed loudly, opened his arms, and walked towards an old man in white clothes and pants: "We haven't seen each other for a year, Lao Bai."
Zhang Rui smiled and explained to Tianyang from behind: "That's the owner of the hotel, surnamed Bai. We all call him Bai Daddy, or Lao Bai, and some people call him Bai Old Man."
"Every time we come to Harvest Fort, we will stay in his hotel, so we have become friends over time."
Tianyang said oh, it can be seen that the old man surnamed Bai didn't have much joy on his face, instead he smiled wryly, shook his head and said: "Mr. Tu, please speak softly."
It seems that their friends may not be very enthusiastic.
Tu Moshan has felt strange since he entered the city. Now seeing the old man who was very enthusiastic before, he suddenly seemed a little cold today, and he was also surprised: "Old Bai, what happened?"
"It's hard to say, you guys go into the room first, I'll visit later." The old man called the hotel staff, as if he had already made preparations early in the morning, and quickly allocated rooms and keys to open the door for everyone.
Tianyang and his son didn't care much about the hotel owner's attitude. They took the key and went to their room.
The rooms here are much more spacious than those in Twilight Castle. Even if the weather outside the wooden structure is hot, the temperature inside the room does not feel that high.
On a long wooden table after entering the door, there are three whole plates of fruits, big and small, of various colors, and there are many that Tianyang can't name.
He glanced at his father, laughed dryly, and took a black-blue fruit and bit into it without any politeness. I only feel that the skin of this fruit is very thin, and the fruit inside is tender and juicy, sweet and sour.
"Delicious! Daddy, why don't you try it?"
Su Lie said angrily, "Didn't your mother teach you to wash your hands before eating?"
After that, he went into the bathroom.
Tianyang chuckled, and threw one to Xingluo. Xingluo, who also needed various nutritional supplements, took the fruit and ate it gracefully.
Tianyang casually took another thick-skinned round fruit, and walked towards the room while tearing off the skin. There are four rooms in this house, each of which is as big as a bedroom in Tianyang's previous apartment.
This is enough for them to live. After a while, there was a knock on the door. Xing Luo went to open the door, but it was Zhang Rui who came.
"How about it, Tianyang, let me tell you that I have some fruit for you, have you tasted it?"
Tianyang nodded: "Tasted some, it's really good."
Zhang Rui nodded in agreement, then sighed and said, "It seems that our trip to Harvest Fort was for nothing."
Su Lie, who had already washed his hands and was eating fruit, asked casually, "What happened?"
Zhang Rui sat down and shook his head: "Nothing serious happened, but just now, Father Bai went to find Mr. Tu and said that this year's celebration will not be held."
Tianyang wondered: "Why?"
"It is said that this year, the old city lord changed his beliefs and first banned the church of the God of Nature in Harvest Castle..."
Tianyang was stunned.
The Church of the God of Nature is one of the big churches with the Lord of War, the Goddess of Radiance, and the White Ivory Tower.
Harvest Fort sits on fertile land, increasing production and income every year. It is not surprising that it originally believed in the God of Nature. But now, they actually drove away the God of Nature, one of the four major churches?
This is strange.
Su Lie was also stunned for a moment: "I heard that right, they banned the church of the God of Nature?"
"That's not it, I also found it incredible when I heard it. The Church of the God of Nature has made great contributions in the field of planting, and their planting technology is the most advanced in the world."
"Although Harvest Castle has a unique geographical environment, it would be difficult to develop to its current scale without the support and technical support of the Church of the God of Nature."
"As a result, it is ridiculous to kick him with one kick."
Tianyang said thoughtfully: "Their old city owner may be sick, here."
He nodded his head.
Zhang Rui smiled bitterly: "We don't know if you are sick or not, but Father Bai told Mr. Tu that after the sub-district of the God of Nature was banned, the old city lord promulgated a decree, saying that it was Harvest Fort and its subordinate leaders. In the district, you are not allowed to believe in the four major churches and other sects.”
"Once discovered, they will be arrested in light cases, and executed in severe cases."
Su Lie frowned slightly: "It's so overbearing."
Zhang Rui nodded: "In addition, from this year onwards, harvest celebrations will no longer be held. Moreover, in order to ensure respect for the gods, no one is allowed to make loud noises, focus, or fight in the city. If you violate these regulations , it must be dealt with severely.”
Tianyang said: "Then, wouldn't we have to leave soon?"
He still wants to stay for a few days. If the Chamber of Commerce is in a hurry to leave, he can only stay by himself. After getting the materials for exchange, it's better to catch up with the caravan, anyway, he knows the route.
Zhang Rui said: "That's not necessary, although if the celebration is not held, we will lose a lot of business. However, we have to stay for three to five days just for raw rubber trading."
That's fine.
Zhang Rui explained some new and weird rules of Harvest Castle before leaving.
After lunch, Tian Yang, who couldn't sit still, went to Zhang Rui first, and asked him to find a way to send himself into the reverse world. Of course, if Zhang Rui had no choice, Tian Yang could sneak into the Clough Gate. With his current ability, it is not difficult to do this.
It's just that if it's not necessary, Tianyang doesn't want to do it.
After begging Zhang Rui, Tianyang took Xingluo to the street for a walk. He planned to have a good rest today and think about entering the reverse world tomorrow.
