Otherworldly Mysterious Gate

[Thank you 'Yunjuan Yunshu is not me' for your generous reward!Looking forward to your collection and support, thank you! 】

Although this border village is called a small village, the number of people seems to be much larger than the farm where Lin Shu originally stayed. People coming and going on the ramps and stairs built along the mountain are very lively. Maybe this has something to do with the rainy season.

The village is built on the mountain. Except for those functional buildings, most of the places where people live are close to the mountain buildings. Each house seems to have only half of it, and some of them have no outside half at all. The door is on the stone wall, which is very similar to the cave dwellings on the earth.

Lin Xiaomei and Lin Xiaoyong turned their heads and looked around, their eyes sparkling, showing exuberant curiosity and energy, while Lin Shu chatted seriously with Yang Jinwu, and got a lot of information from the seemingly casual questioning .

Border Village has been around for a long time, at least it existed before the unification war of the Tang Dynasty. Later, during the unification war, many people fled here for various reasons and settled down, and the village became bigger and bigger. Today, People living in this village more or less have their own reasons. Of course, many people come here for the monsters in the forest.

Therefore, there are nearly 5 long-term residents in this village, including professionals and civilians, and [-] to [-] people come from outside every year, but those people will come after the rainy season is over.

Due to the remote location of the border village, the south and east are surrounded by southern rainforest, which is basically of little military value and economic value. Unlike Xia Guo, which is a plain, the mountainous land here is not suitable for planting. High-value crops, as for hunting in the jungle, there are many monsters in the jungle here, but more than 1000 kilometers to the north, there is a traditional trial and hunting holy place, where there are more varieties of monsters, unlike this On the other hand, most of them are water monsters.

As for the current distribution of power in the village, it is controlled by three organizations. One is the Datang Commercial Alliance, which is a commercial organization with a long history; The site is said to be because the Magicians Guild looked down on this dilapidated place; the last one is the earliest controller of the village, the local local local snake Yang's family, and Yang Jinwu is a distant descendant of the Yang family.

It was precisely because of this identity that Yang Jinwu got a job as a guard. However, looking at Yang Jinwu's appearance, it didn't look like he was doing well. Obviously, he didn't have much status in the Yang family.

Stepping on a few steps with moss growing in the gaps, the eyes suddenly opened up, which is a bit surprising in this mountain village. This is a small square, about 150 meters wide and 300 meters long. There are several squares in the middle of the square. There are a few sporadic vendors, it seems that this is an open-air market.

"This is the Villager's Square. All important gatherings are held here. Although it's a bit small, it's very lively, hehe. It's usually the free market, but when you leave, remember to go to the tax office over there to pay your taxes."

Lin Shu turned his head and saw that the doorway of the outermost room of the row of houses on the left had the words Border Village Tax Office hanging on it. It seemed that the bronze signboard had been around for a long time.

Lin Shu nodded silently, and Yang Jinwu then pointed to the three-story stone house on the front and said, "This is the village office, where you can buy a house, register for registration, go to school, register for marriage, and dispute arbitration. It's all going on here."

Lin Shu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but thinking about it, there are 2 people living here, there is no reason why there is no such thing as a school, and there must be needs for marriage, arbitration, etc.

"There is still school! It's great that my brother and sister can continue to go to school!"

Lin Shu smiled and looked at Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei. Lin Xiaomei looked excited and expectant, but Lin Xiaoyong had a bitter face. It seemed that after the exciting experience in the jungle, it was difficult for Lin Xiaoyong to return to normal.

"Hehe, isn't that right, our school here is pretty good, but we need to go to other places for middle school!"

"Understood, I will teach my two younger brothers and sisters by myself, we are inherited from the family."

"Understood!" Yang Jinwu smiled knowingly.

"Look at the Martial Artists Guild where people come and go. If you want to take a magic receptor test, you can pay for it there."

"No, my siblings have all been tested."

"Oh? What grade? Oh, sorry, this question shouldn't be asked."

Lin Shu smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, my brother is at the third level, and my sister is at the fifth level."

Yang Jinwu's eyes changed, but then he smiled and said some compliments, which made Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei blush a little.

In fact, in the official test, generally only one to three tests are provided, and only in the advanced test, that is, people who are considered to have more potential will conduct further tests. This advanced test is divided into three more levels. An evaluation of four to six levels, that is to say, those above level four must have the potential of a magician.

And Lin Xiaomei is only six or seven years old, and she has already passed the advanced test, and she is still at level five. So when she is 12 years old, isn't it likely that she will be at the highest level of level six? !

This shows that the identities of these three people are really not simple!Yang Jinwu couldn't help but rejoice that he didn't offend these three people, and if he reported the information, he would definitely be rewarded a lot!

These three brothers and sisters are really their own gospel!Thinking of this, Yang Jinwu's face became a little more flattering. Lin Shu saw that the expression on his face did not change at all, and he still asked Yang Jinwu about everything in the border village very affectionately.

"Look, there are shops on both sides of this street in the north, which is also the main way into the village."

Needless to say Yang Jinwu, Lin Shu can see that there are two main roads to enter the village. One is the wide staircase on the left side of the village office. Just like a huge centipede, the other road is the stone slab winding mountain road. If you walk this road, you must pass through the places where there are shops on both sides.

Lin Shu took a casual glance, and the most magnificent one looked to be a hotel, followed by restaurants and taverns, and then there were magic shops, other supply stores and handicraft workshops. It seemed that on the two-300-meter-long street, there were various types of shops. Complete!

"There are some relatively large shops here, and there are also some small shops in the village. In fact, daily necessities and food can be bought there."

Lin Shu raised his head, and from this angle, he could see that there was a large platform on the middle of the mountain. Yang Jinwu also noticed Lin Shu's eyes, and said with a smile: "That's the school, which happens to be in the middle of the mountain. It won't feel far."

Lin Shu nodded, pointed to the large area of ​​closely connected houses on the west side, and said, "Is that the territory of your Yang clan?"

"Well, that's an old village. Most of the Yang clan live there, but there are also people with other surnames. Those of us from distant branches are not qualified to live there."

Yang Jinwu's tone was full of envy and jealousy, and Lin Shu smiled slightly: "Which one is the Ye's Magic Store you mentioned, we should get down to business first, and it won't be too late to get to know the village slowly after we settle down." , I’m going to settle here anyway!”

"Hehe, yes, this way!"

Yang Jinwu smiled and introduced the three Lin Shu brothers and sisters into an ordinary-looking store, but the area was not small, much larger than Lao Yetou's store in No. [-] Farm, and it looked much neater and cleaner.

The storefront is obviously divided into two parts, one is a row of open bright crystal counters and shelves, and the other side has only a rather old wooden long cabinet. Not surprisingly, Yang Jinwu led Lin Shu towards the wooden long cabinet. The poor monkey head can only stay in a wooden fence on the side of the door. This is also to prevent the customer's magic beast from accidentally damaging the things in the store. The things here are all of great value.

"Shopkeeper Xiaoye, I'm bringing guests!"

"Hey, Xiao Wu! Thank you, what is this guest's address, you are so young!"

Looking up from behind the counter, the person who greeted Lin Shu and the others with a smile on his face was a round-faced middle-aged man, but he didn't quite understand why he was called Xiaoye shopkeeper Lin Shu. Anyway, there must be a reason for people to call him that. .

"Hehe, my name is Lin Shu, animal trainer. This is my younger brother Lin Xiaoyong and younger sister Lin Xiaomei. Let's sell something."

"Welcome, welcome! What are you selling?"

Lin Shu glanced at Shopkeeper Xiaoye, who was shining with a fourth-level magic halo, and the magic equipment with the halo in his hand, and couldn't help but be full of curiosity.

"Magic core!"

"Magic core! Great, we have been worrying about acquiring the magic core recently! I will definitely give Mr. Lin the best price."

The shopkeeper Xiaoye with a round face smiled and took out a silver plate with a diameter of thirty to forty centimeters, inside the plate was padded with beige flannelette.

Naturally, Lin Shu would not be fooled by the shopkeeper Xiaoye's polite words. He just smiled and took out two things from his already damaged bosom. This Lin Xiaoyong knew that it was Lin Shu's sister's two books. It was because of this that Lin Xiaoyong would never doubt Lin Shu's identity.

The other one was a small bag made of waterproof cloth. Lin Shu untied the rope on the bag, and poured all the contents of the bag onto a silver plate. There are large and small magic cores, either azure or lake blue, which look crystal clear and very gratifying.

Shopkeeper Xiaoye shrank his eyes, and a trace of deep surprise flashed through his eyes. Yang Jinwu almost screamed out, and quickly covered his mouth with one hand secretly.

This pile of magic cores is at least worth thousands of gold coins, but this is not important. What is important is that the azure, egg-sized magic core that flows like a ball of running water must be a magic core of the fourth order or above. Nuclei, it seems that the demon is really on the fifth level. If these demon cores are harvested by Lin Shu, then the identities of these three people will be interesting!
