Chapter 24 Going out

The border city of the Dilanta Empire is called the Holy City. Although the name is very famous, it is actually an ordinary border town.

The reason for this name is that it is close to the territory of the Demon King. People hope that this name can cause a certain restraining effect to the Demon King.

However……

When Dikao brought Feiyana to the city gate, he didn't feel any discomfort. The name was useless to him.

I don’t know if it’s a shortage of materials or money, but the walls of the Holy City are very short, only about five meters high.

It is built of the most ordinary bluestone and does not look very strong. At least for Dikao, a punch can make a hole.

There is a road about four meters wide across the city gate. There is no stone or anything like that. It is made by walking and trampling it on a long time of time.

Because the direction facing the city gate is the territory of the Demon King, this road only has two directions left and right, and does not move forward.

There were also some sparse pedestrians or caravans carrying carriages on the road. When they saw two people coming from the direction of the Demon King's territory, they stopped and looked at the two in surprise.

At this moment, Dikao and Feiana were both a little dirty, because there was nothing but wind and dust on the plain.

In addition, pm2.5 is seriously exceeding the standard, and in order to pursue the sense of reality, Dikao did not fly when he was still one hundred kilometers away from the Holy City.

The two of them walked more than a hundred kilometers of wind and sand to the sacred city.

The arrival of Dikao and Fyana attracted a lot of attention. After all, few human adventurers dared to wander on the territory of the demons.

Moreover, these two people look like an ordinary standard combination of a melee adventurer plus a magician.

Judging from the appearance, he doesn't look like a particularly powerful high-level adventurer. How did he survive on the territory of the demons? Everyone was secretly asking in their hearts.

No one present doubted whether this was the demon clan or the demon king himself.

The reason is that Dikao has never been to the Dilanta Empire and has never been to let his hands come down.

Therefore, the people here basically have their concepts of the demon race as they are ugly and terrifying in the legend.

"Sir!" A man in his thirties jumped out of the nearest carriage and walked quickly to the two of them, "You... just came from the Demon Realm?"

The man was wearing a dark blue windbreaker, a white shirt and black pants inside, and long leather boots on his feet, not very much like an ordinary urban citizen.

The Demon Realm...

Dikao's mouth twitched. This name was really rubbish, but now it's not the time to complain about this, so he nodded.

"Well, we are adventurers, we took on the mission..." Dikao sniffed, "Is this the Dilanta Empire?"

"Yes!" the other party nodded, "This one..."

"Joffrey," Dikao chose to be the trumpet of his own in the name of the Great, "Joffrey Baratheon."

"My name is Nom Inman." The other party smiled, "Mr. Baratheon, are you the first time you have come to the Diranta Empire?"

"Just call me Joffrey," replied Dikao, "Yes, I got a batch of iron ore in the Magic Realm and wanted to take action here..."

"That's right, I'm a member of the Holy City Chamber of Commerce. Although I'm not mainly engaged in iron management, I can help you introduce people." Nom said.

"What do you want?" Dikao made a defensive look and asked directly.

The other party was not surprised by Dikao's appearance, but just smiled, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to talk to you about the Demon Realm."

"This..." Dikao pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, but we need to go to the city first to find a place to stay."

"It just so happens that my family runs a hotel," Norm pointed to his carriage. "Why don't you go into the city with me, I'll give you the cheapest price!"

"Okay!" Dikao nodded.

...

The two got on the carriage that was built with thick canvas, and Nom sat on the frame and set out for Xiangcheng.

Nom seemed to be very familiar with the soldiers guarding the city gate. While greeting him very familiarly, he stuffed a silver coin to the soldiers who came to ask questions on the left, and the carriage successfully entered the city gate.

The roads in the Holy City were not paved with stones, and they were already uneven and there was no shock absorber for the carriage. Dikao and Fyana, who were sitting in the carriage, swayed with the carriage, but their butts were always firmly attached to the seat.

"Mr. Norm doesn't look like an ordinary person, how could he choose to drive by himself?" Dikao looked at Norm's back and found a topic to chat.

"Driving is a pleasure for me!" Norm turned around and smiled, "And I raised this horse since I was a child, and I only heard of me alone. Over time, I drove my own carriage by myself."

"It seems that Mr. Norm is also a casual person," Dikao praised, "the business must be very big."

"Stop kidding!" Nom smiled without looking back. "The Holy City is neither a big city nor a major transportation route. At most it plays a role as a transit station between the Jadelo Empire and the Gleni Empire. Most caravans and adventurers will rest here."

"Then are there any specialties here?" Dikao asked.

"If you want to talk about specialties..." Nom said, "There are many small monsters. After all, there are two large forests here. Many merchants catch some small monsters and go back to keep them as pets or sell them in big cities."

"Will there be no such thing as beast tide invasion here?" Dikao was a little puzzled.

"Although the two forests on both sides are very large, overall, they are just two long strips connecting the Kroger Mountains. There will be no large monsters coming here at all." Norm replied.

During the chat with Nome, Dikao also had a rough understanding of the Holy City. As the rumor is, it is a border town that is insignificant and even looks a bit redundant.

Before Fyana came, she received Dikao's advice, saying that she must talk less and pretend to be like a human, so she just listened to them chatting throughout the whole process without saying a word.

"Here, get off!" The carriage stopped.

Dikao and Fyana got off the carriage and saw a wooden strip building in front of them, with two floors above and below, respectively, restaurants, taverns, and two hot spring pools.

There are a total of more than a dozen rooms on the second floor for guests to rest and stay, which is a bit beyond Dikao's expectations.

"It was a very good accident!" Dikao nodded, "I can't wait to take a shower and have a good rest."

"No problem, it's getting late, I'll make arrangements right away!" Nom smiled.

"Master, you are back!" A middle-aged man wearing black housekeeper's clothing walked out and took the reins from Norm's hand. "Madam is waiting for you, the lady's lessons have been completed and she will be home soon."

"Well, I'll entertain friends tonight," said Norm, "ask them to change their clothes, and be more formal."

"Yes!" The butler didn't ask a second question, and turned around and left with the horse.

Dikao always felt awkward when he looked at a man who was obviously a teenager older than him.

"I feel awkward, too." Perhaps seeing what Dikao was thinking, Nom smiled bitterly, "He was originally the housekeeper who served my father, and he grew up watching me since childhood. After his father passed away, I inherited the position of head of the family and called me that."

"Uh..." Dikao waved his hand, "I don't mean that. I just think it's too grand for Mr. Norm to ask your wife and daughter to dress up."

"Don't say that!" Nom said as he sat down at Dikao and the others went upstairs, "I just can't wait to know what's happening in the Demon Realm."

"Why are you interested in this?" Dikao asked.

"I have never seen anyone with my own eyes able to walk out of the Demon Realm. It's just that legend has heard that all those who can walk out of the Demon Realm are super powerful adventurers," Nom looked at the two of them, "But you two really don't seem to have strong strength... Sorry, I'm a little straightforward. So I want to hear you talk about the things in the Demon Realm."

"This..." Dikao looked thoughtful.

If you tell the other party directly that the devil doesn't like eating humans now, and you still want to mine and do business with humans...

Not to mention whether the other party believes it or not, you can’t believe it if you give it to yourself, so it’s definitely not OK to be honest.

But if you want to weave lies and you are not good at this. You are not an adventurer yourself, how can you make up an adventure story in which you have obtained a batch of ores through many dangers in the Demon Realm?

Dikao fell into deep thought...

Norm didn't seem to know it immediately. After taking Dikao to a room with two beds, he told him to take a shower and rest first, and someone would come to inform them to have supper in the evening.

Regarding the fee for the station site, Nome did not say it was free, but told him that he only had two copper coins a day.

The price is simply outrageously low. Although the world's monetary system seems a bit chaotic to Dikao, this price is really sorry for the configuration of this hotel.

According to purchasing power, a copper coin in this world is about the purchasing power of about fifteen yuan in the previous life.

There are two beds and clean beds in this hotel, as well as a small table and cups and other dining utensils, and the quality is not bad.

Such a hotel costs only thirty yuan a night, so Dicao has a little snack.

This Nome seems to be not just trying to ask himself about the things in the Demon Realm, but if that's right, he should also want to help with what he wants.

However, Dikao was not worried about this. After watching Nom leave, he asked Fyana to wash and rest, and prepare to have dinner together in the evening.

"My King..."
