"Then what happened this time is probably done by your junior sister." The tall masked man said humanely, "It's not necessarily an action against us, it may just have received a task entrustment like 'killing bandits'. By the way, How does her swordsmanship compare to yours?"

The short masked man froze all of a sudden, and after a long while, he said unconvincedly: "He's stronger than me, but only to a limited extent. I have experience in countering the extreme swordsmanship, so one-on-one combat should be worthy of her."

"That's good." The tall masked person said, "If she is really targeting us, if we meet her in the future, I will leave it to you to deal with it."

"Don't worry!" the short masked man gritted his teeth, "I'll let these rotten extreme swordsmen know that what they teach is outdated, and I've learned better swordsmanship!"

Song of the Traveler: Chapter 34 The White Tower and Nonis

Two days later, Amy and Sirin's carriage arrived at the outskirts of Baita City.

Looking at the city from a distance from the official road, you can see a huge white tower.

The shape of the tower body is different from the straight and pointed mage towers that are common in the Divine Blessing Continent, showing a peculiar shape like a trident.

The most pointed part of the trident is capable of piercing into the clouds, full of vigor, and the slightly shorter ends are higher than all the buildings in the city, even a little higher than the mountains to the north of the city.

This white tower is the origin of the name of White Tower City.

Ami lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the White Tower, feeling quite emotional in her heart.

This kind of building, which can be called a spectacle, can never be built with the power of ordinary people, and the power of magic must have been used.

And this shape is really strange, it looks like a signal tower with wings.

"This White Pagoda is a relic of ancient architecture, not a product of the present era."

Sirin seemed to see Amy's doubts and curiosity, and explained next to her: "In our time, after many discussions, naturalists speculated that this giant tower belonged to a lost civilization that was more than 3000 years old. The history of relevant archaeological research has been carried out for several rounds, but the harvest has always been limited.”

Amy was slightly surprised, "A building 3000 years ago? That's quite old, but looking at the condition of the tower, it seems to be well maintained, with no signs of decay."

"The building material of this white tower is very special. It is not an ordinary mountain stone. Its performance is similar to a certain alloy. It has a strong anti-corrosion ability and can repair itself to a certain extent." Sirin said, "The empire discovered this in the past. When I first built the White Tower, I was also amazed at its integrity, but after the research of naturalists, I learned about the special features of the building materials."

"Hmm..." Amy leaned on her chin and asked, "With such a high-quality alloy material, has the empire thought about dismantling the White Tower and using these materials to forge weapons and armor?"

"Of course I thought about it." Sirin smiled and rubbed Amy's hair, "But the person who proposed this idea soon discovered that after a certain range away from the White Tower, these materials will lose their magical effects and return to normal Even if the rocks are sent back to the side of the White Pagoda, they will not be restored to their previous appearance."

"Moreover, the magic is that the White Tower will slowly repair its damaged parts. Naturalists have speculated that this ability is related to the power of the leylines, but it has not been confirmed."

Ami's eyes lit up, and she said: "Then the white tower stands here, isn't it an inexhaustible quarry? The stones collected can be used to build city walls and houses, saving money and effort. Has no one tried it?"

Sirin glanced at it, and said rather speechlessly: "This is the ruins left by ancient civilizations. It carries the civilization of a lost era. It is extremely precious and of great significance for research. You actually want to make it a quarry?"

Ami pursed her lips and muttered, "My proposal is from a practical point of view. Is there any problem?"

Sirin shook her head and said, "It's really not a big problem, but as far as I know, the body of this white tower is very strong. If it is used as a quarry, it will be too difficult to mine, and the manpower and material resources spent may not be worth it." .”

"It seems that the White Tower also guessed that the people of later generations coveted it, and prepared preventive measures in advance." Amy complained, "It seems that some plants have deliberately evolved bad tastes in order to prevent their own fruits from being eaten. "

Sirin pinched the tips of the Moon Elf's ears and said with a smile, "Your point of view is quite novel, and it sounds reasonable."

"Don't touch my ears!" Amy slapped off Sirin's mischievous hand, and turned her head to glared at Sirin, "Have you become obsessed with the touch of my ears recently? You keep pinching them secretly. This kind of behavior is for elves , but extremely serious harassment and blasphemy would have been punished in the past!"

When the tips of her ears are pinched, or when she feels her breathing at a close distance, Amy will feel an itchy feeling in her heart, which is very uncomfortable, but Miss Swordsman dare not make any follow-up actions. Amy was quite annoyed.

So Amy decided to protect her ears and not give Sirin the chance to touch them easily.

"Don't pinch, don't pinch."

Sirin raised her hands and stood in front of her body to show determination and innocence, but there was a smile hidden in her eyes.

This elf is actually protesting verbally. When chatting at close range, she secretly blows and talks about topics that the moon elf is interested in, and she can divert his attention and pinch the pointed ears with excellent hands.

"Miss, it's time to line up to enter the city. Please prepare your ID cards and travel documents."

Rosa's reminder came from outside the carriage.

Amy glared at Sirin, took out her identity certificate from the storage space, and took out the two documents prepared by Helen.

The carriage slowed down and drove slowly to the entrance of the city gate, where it was stopped by soldiers for inspection.

"Routine identity check, please cooperate!"

The soldier shouted in a raised voice, his voice was a bit shrill.

"I am a senior driver of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. This is my identity certificate. The two ladies on the car are distinguished guests of the Chamber of Commerce. This is our city entry tax." Rosa replied calmly.

"It's your Chamber of Commerce again, it's difficult."

The soldier complained softly, took Rosa's ID card, looked at it casually, threw it back to her, and shouted to the carriage: "Everyone in the car, please cooperate with the inspection!"

Amy and Sirin opened the curtains on the left and the right, and handed out two ID cards, as well as the passage document stamped by Lord Golden Rose.

Seeing the appearance of the two, the temporary inspection soldier was stunned for a moment, and even stopped breathing for several seconds. After a while, he took a long breath, took the ID cards of the two, and pretended to check them carefully. In fact, she muttered in a very low voice: "What a beautiful woman, I really want to touch a few..."

He thought his voice was very low, but he couldn't escape the keen perception of Amy and Sirin. This bad remark caused them to frown at the same time.

The soldiers who were also conducting inspections into the city were much more normal in Golden Rose City, and they were able to stand up to the majesty of the lord's daughter without fear of power.

It is said that the big is seen from the small, and from the attitude and quality of the gatekeepers, one can see the gap between the iris collar and the golden rose collar.

In the past few days, Amy and Sirin have seen a lot of strange things while traveling in the iris collar.

Once staying overnight in a hotel in a small town, the mayor’s son actually wanted to take advantage of his identity to take Amy and Sirin by force, force his way into their rooms, and put on a posture of "I am the emperor of the earth", which made Amy angry and angry. laugh.

The same is true for the small town that passed through yesterday. The guards deliberately raised the entry tax for the horse-drawn carriage, and used the car of Amy and Sirin as a commercial truck to collect the tax. The price was five times higher than the original price. Name, the guard didn't know what kind of hooligan tricks he was going to play.

The bandits are in trouble, the local gangsters are entrenched, and the quality of the soldiers is extremely poor... This territory is really terrible!

"Identity is fine, here's the passport!"

The patrolling soldier handed back the ID card and wanted to take the opportunity to touch Amy's hand. Amy directly used magic power to take back her and Xilin's ID card through a gap of air, and sent the pass document over.

A trace of hostility flashed in the soldier's eyes, and he muttered again in a very low voice: "Isn't he a magician? What's so cool about it? Sooner or later you will be..."

Having said that, the soldiers still felt that Amy and Sirin were not easy to mess with, so they let the carriage pass without fussing too much about the documents.

The carriage slowly passed the pass, Rosa leaned back against the frame, and whispered to Amy through the curtain: "Miss, I assure you in the name of the chamber of commerce, the hooligan who offended you two just now will do it for him." Words pay the price. Just leave this kind of trivial matter to us, and don't let him dirty your hands."

Amy curled her lips. Rosa was naturally not a simple person who could be sent by the black crow to be their coachman.

Just judging from the skillful handling of the corpse and the detailed information about the Black Spider bandit, it is clear that she is also a ruthless person.

Ami admired this kind of ruthless person, and ordered in a low voice: "Let him know who he offended and why he was punished."

"Okay, everything follows your arrangement." Rosa said.

Their carriage passed smoothly, but Della and Loren who followed were stopped.

"Your carriage is for commercial use. According to the laws of the territory, you need to pay an additional city entry tax based on the value of the goods." The soldier didn't take advantage of Amy and Sirin, and took his anger out on Loren. Walking to the rear of the car, he patted the cargo box, and jokingly said, "Seeing how heavy your cargo box is, there must be a lot of gold, silver and precious stones in it, right? I don't bother to look into it. Be kind, just pay thirty silver coins for the city entrance tax. If you pay with gold coins, it counts!"

"Thirty silver pieces? Why don't you go—"

Della almost ran away on the spot when she heard what the soldiers said.

She recognized both the premium horse grass and clean water bought with two silver coins. After all, she got the real things. The city entry tax was charged directly at the top price, and it was doubled. What money did she and her father make?Throw away the goods and go home to farm!

Before she could complain, she was stopped by Loren. The middle-aged merchant accompanied him with a smiling face, and took out a sticker from his pocket, "Brother officer, we are the merchant who prepares goods for Linquan Winery. Can you take a look at the tax deduction certificate issued by the winery?"

The soldier took a look at the sticker, and read the words on the sticker in a joking tone: "By holding this certificate, you can reduce or exempt the city entry tax, and you will be charged at most five silvers? Tsk tsk, I can't see it, you can actually do it with a broken carriage." Next to Linquan Winery? This certificate is not fake, but there is a time for the certificate to take effect, and yours has expired!"

The soldier folded the stickers, stuffed them into his pockets in front of Loren, and said, "For the sake of Linquan Winery, I'll give you half of it this time, and I'll let you enter the city after paying fifteen silver coins. Otherwise, you can go back and forth from anywhere! You can’t even pay the city entry tax, so don’t come to us to beg for food!”

"You guy-"

Della's face turned red, her palms tightly grasped the dagger at her waist, her round eyes widened with anger.

Loren pulled her daughter back and apologized with a wry face, "Brother officer, we didn't pay attention to the validity period of the certificate, so we will pay taxes, just wait a moment!"

Amy, who had already passed the test, turned her head to look at this scene, and couldn't help sighing and shaking her head. She looked at Rosa and said, "Why don't you get rid of him now? This kind of person is too annoying!"

Rosa thought for a few seconds, looked at the situation of the surrounding guarding soldiers, and said, "If you want to do this, it's not impossible, but then we won't be able to enter the city through normal procedures."

"Wait a minute."

Sirin persuaded the two who had transformed into berserkers, "There is still a situation over there."

Loren held her daughter with one hand, and took out money in her arms with the other. In the carriage passage out of the city, a luxuriously decorated carriage stopped.

The driver of this carriage has a lot of energy inside, and he looks like a high-level martial arts professional, and the horses pulling the carriage are even more handsome than Amy's.

The curtain was lifted, and a person stepped out of the carriage and stopped on the wooden platform in front of the carriage.

This is a girl who is about the same height as Amy. Her hair is light pink and almost white. She wears a girlish hairstyle, but the hair behind her is tied into a double ponytail, which reduces the elegance and seriousness of the girlish hairstyle and adds a bit of girlish cuteness. .

Her eyes are big and energetic, and there seems to be a halo flowing in the light purple pupils. Her facial features are exquisite and beautiful, not much worse than Amy.She is wearing a black dress, which is similar in style to a maid's skirt, but with some lace decorations in front of her body, making her body curves more feminine.

What impressed Ami deeply, and where her eyes landed, were the long socks on the girl's legs.The black stockings on the right leg reach up to the thigh, and are held together by the hoop, while the left leg is an asymmetrical short sock that ends in front of the knee. Against the background of the black skirt and black socks, the skin on the exposed part of the left leg is extremely fair , seems to be shining, and the legs look very good-looking.

After the girl showed up, Loren froze when she took out the money, and exclaimed, "Miss Nonis, why are you here?"

Della also showed an excited smile on her face, and waved to greet the girl.

The soldier's expression also became uncomfortable, and he quickly bowed and saluted, with a calmer attitude, "Miss Nonis, hello."

The girl named Nonis looked at Amy's side secretly across the driveway, and then said to the soldiers: "The tax reduction certificate issued by Linquan Winery has no validity period in theory."

"Your clerk, Your Excellency Scott, has personally promised me that as long as Linquan Winery still exists, the tax deduction certificate will be valid throughout the territory. Is it the promise made by His Excellency Scott to me that is useless, or Mr. Soldier? Don't understand this?"

The girl's voice was as sweet as a clear spring flowing, and what she said was a real truth.

But the soldier's knees softened, he knelt down on the ground, took out the folded tax deduction certificate from his pocket, offered it with both hands, and admitted his mistake almost like crying: "Master Scott's promise is absolutely right, it's the villain who doesn't agree with you." Knowing this matter, I said nonsense that shouldn't be said, and did wrong things that shouldn't be done! I sincerely apologize to you, please forgive my mistake!"

This farce caused the carriages to enter and exit the city to a standstill, and many people nearby opened the curtains to watch the excitement.

Facing the eyes of the crowd watching, Nonis remained calm and calm, her expression remained unchanged, and her voice was still gentle: "This matter has nothing to do with me. You should apologize to Mr. Loren and Miss Della over there."

The soldier knelt down and walked in front of Loren, handing over the tax deduction certificate with both hands, "It's all my fault, please forgive me!"

"Sigh." Nonis sighed softly, "Although it's not sincere, it can be regarded as knowing the mistakes and correcting them. Mr. Loren, please collect the voucher and enter the city."

Loren took the sticker with trembling hands, bowed to Nonis, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Miss Nonis!"

"Miss Nonis, I will keep the little cake you gave me last time!" Della followed her father's thanks and shouted, "Thank you very much."

"Ah?" Nonis tilted her head, "The cake must have been spoiled by now, and you can't eat spoiled food. Be careful of stomach upset. Next time I come to the winery, I'll make another one." .”

Della bit her lip, with tears in her eyes, she was too excited to speak.

Amy looked at this scene with her cheeks propped up, and commented: "This Nonis looks quite cute."

She touched Sirin's arm and asked, "What do you think?"

"It's quite cute, both in appearance and personality." Sirin replied. After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize something, and quickly commented, "But it's not as good as you. You are still cuter."

"Huh~" Amy snorted softly, when did the upright Miss Swordsman become so glib?

She continued to observe Nonis, thinking that seeing Nonis's face would trigger some memories of the past, but now it seems that it doesn't work.

Is it like Mi Luoke, who has not yet met the conditions for activating the memory picture?

"The matter has been resolved, everyone go to work on their own, don't delay the schedule."

Nonis waved to the onlookers, walked back into the carriage, and the carriage started moving quickly.

Loren also entered the city smoothly and followed Amy.

The excitement came and went quickly, and the next city inspection was much quieter, and the efficiency was also improved a lot.

After walking along the passageway into the city for a while, Della came back and said to Amy excitedly, "Sister, did you see that? Isn't Miss Nonis amazing?!"

"It's really interesting." Amy responded casually, but secretly thought in her heart:

But she didn't greet me and didn't seem to know me.

Could it be that the old friends in Linghuacheng mentioned by Mi Luoke did not refer to Nonis?

The Traveler's Song: Chapter 35 The Realm's Past

After entering the urban area, Amy and Sirin did not waste any time. Led by Rosa, they rushed to the commercial street of the city and found the branch of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.

Amy took out the VIP badge, and was greeted respectfully by the guards of the chamber of commerce and walked towards the chamber of commerce building.

When Loren saw this scene, he was surprised but not surprised.
