Bright Era

After late spring, it is early summer.

When the purple swallow orchids spread across the woods, large and small, the news of the battle of the Dragon Wings had spread throughout the continent. Just when all the countries on the mainland were shocked by the news, Lin Qi was already riding a donkey, slowly walking north from the Longshan family's territory, and in just three days, he arrived outside the Gaul Empire city of Bereli.

Vias, there is nothing worth remembering.

Lin Qi’s current subordinates are a group of extremely powerful perverts, with more than 100,000 elites from the Blood Qin Empire, more than 100,000 mercenaries from the Vias Mercenary Guild, and Hu Xinzhu, the imperial think tank of the Blood Qin Empire, and desert. The former lord of the temple, Sha Xinyue, and the ever-changing and unpredictable Princess Qingli, and the extremely powerful and powerful enough to face the demigod. . .

With so many elite-level freaks teaming up, coupled with such a huge military power and huge financial resources, if they can't cope with the Caesar Empire, Hu Xinzhu and the others will no longer have to eat and work, and wipe their necks as soon as possible.

The most important thing is that Yun Jun, the most direct and powerful threat to Lin Qi, has been jointly killed, what else does Lin Qi have to worry about?

So, wearing a gray-black silk tights with a low-key and luxurious gray-black tone that is unique to a well-to-do businessman, and riding on a whispering donkey, Lin Qi seems to be slow but travels thousands of miles every day. It took just a few days to pass through the vast mountains where the church’s holy mountain is located from the territory of Viaslong Mountain, through the vast southern territory of the Gaul Empire, and into the municipality of Bereli.

At dusk, night is about to fall, and the gates of Berrely are about to be closed. The small vendors and farmers selling vegetables and fruits in the city are busy going out of the city and returning home, while the wealthy and noble merchants who are out are busy returning to the city. The south gate of Berrily was crowded with people, and the queues leaving the city and the people entering the city were squeezed into a mess, shouting and cursing endlessly.

Although it was the capital of the Gaul Empire, the road outside Berreli was mainly made of rammed earth. There was a heavy rain early in the morning, and the avenue was filled with an inch thick silt, and the air was full of the strange smell of livestock manure and rotting leaves. This kind of smell is invisible in the Blood Qin Empire, but Lin Qi has a sense of intimacy out of thin air.

Lin Qi's tears almost didn't fall when his eyes became hot.

"His grandma, I'm finally back!" Lin Qi clenched his fists with both hands and shook his fists fiercely. After so many setbacks, he finally returned to Berrily. This made him unforgettable, leaving behind the best memory of his youth, and at the same time deeply hurting his city.

In this city, his brother is here, his friends are here, and his mentors and friends are here; at the same time, his enemies are here, his enemies are here, and the people who have arranged all kinds of intrigues against him are also here.

"Struggling to crawl out from the Black Abyss God Prison, from the Fifth Abyss, I got out of the Fifth Abyss with great difficulty, and I went around in the Eastern Continent without being killed. I came back here alive!" Lin Qi looked at Bo Lai from a distance. The gray city walls murmured: "I am here, and I will never be driven out again. My friends, our enemies, cheer for joy, Master Lin Qi is back!"

The donkey opened his mouth, raised his hind legs, and sprinkled hot urine under a big tree on the side of the road. Wherever the hot urine passed, the big tree withered and scorched as quickly as it had been burned by a fire. The body shivered violently, and the donkey happily said: "It has been holding back for half a month, and finally it spilled out. Alas, Berrely, what a wonderful place, there are many girls with big breasts!"

Lin Qi watched the donkey's weird movements silently, and he gave the donkey a hard punch to the head: "You are not a dog! You are a donkey, if you are a donkey, there must be movements that a donkey should do, you see Which donkey has to raise his hind legs when doing this kind of thing?"

The donkey blinked in surprise, and he suddenly cursed angrily: "Damn black beard, I said why this action is so weird, so familiar, and his feelings blinded me? Is this a dog's action? He treats me like me. A dog?"

Lin Qi looked at the donkey blankly. He had never noticed how the donkey solved the waste in his body, so he hadn't noticed that the donkey made such weird movements. This action is actually related to Blackbeard? Could it be that the donkey's head was hit hard, and he was fooled by the black beard in the dog's posture for so many years?

After slapped his forehead vigorously, Lin Qi finally understood some of the terrible aspects of Blackbeard's character, and he didn't let go of a donkey!

The donkey trembled with anger. He greeted the black-bearded ancestors over and over again, but he was very cautious in his words, and did not have the usual manner of overwhelming nonsense-because the black-bearded ancestors still The vast majority of people are living well, and they are all sturdy hunks. Donkeys dare not really offend them.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Qi slapped the donkey severely. The donkey cocked his mouth, staring straight at the gate of Berrily, babbling bad words about the black beard all the way, and walking lazily towards the gate.

When approaching the gate of the city, the guards of the noble lords finally beat the mud-legged farmers who were eager to get out of the city, and successfully stepped out of the gate. Luxurious carriages and Shenjun's mounts walked into the city gate with their heads high, and Lin Qi followed these noble lords and came to the gate slowly.

Several guards at the gate weakly stopped Lin Qi, and a gate official took a notebook and asked listlessly about Lin Qi's name, history and why he came to Berrily. Lin Qi stood on the ground with his legs propped, and naturally left the back of the donkey. He smiled and bowed to the city gate official, and then reported his name.

Vias Commercial Federation, Longshan Earl Land, a negligible merchant, Wan En, is the exclusive agent for the sale of the special dragon wine from Longshan Earl Land. He casually took out six bottles of wine covered with spider webs from the ring and handed it to a city guard soldier with a smile: "This is the dragon wine produced in our earl’s territory. It has a high reputation throughout Vias. This time, we want to expand its sales channels to the Gaul Empire."

The soldier took over the wine, and the city gate officer looked at Lin Qi mockingly: "Mr. Wan En, you may have forgotten one thing. The Gaul Empire is the producer of the best quality wine in the mainland, and the best in the whole continent. The wines are all produced in the Gaul Empire. Your so-called dragon wine... I am not optimistic about his prospects! Thank you, the gate tax... a hundred gold coins!"

Lin Qi almost vomited a mouthful of blood. He looked at the city gate official in horror and shouted: "What are you kidding? A city gate tax of a hundred gold coins? I have traveled all over the mainland. There is no city in any country. The gate tax is so expensive! Even if I bring some samples of wine into Berrily, the commercial tax should be collected by a special tax officer!"

Lin Qi angrily accused: "According to the tariffs prevailing in the mainland, I and my mount, you see, he is just a cute little donkey, not a horse, my city gate tax is about ten silver coins. , And my mount, at most two silver coins!"

The city gate official looked at Lin Qi with a lifeless gaze: "One hundred gold coins, Mr. Wan En, either pay the money, or leave Berriley!"

Lin Qi closed his mouth, he glanced at the city gate official, then raised his head to look at a huge bronze shield hanging above his head. This shield is a full ten meters in radius, covering half of the corridor behind the city gate. The shield was polished to be as shiny as a mirror, and a huge eyeball was faintly turning inside the shield. At the core of the eyeball, there was a complex magic pattern.

Being stared at by this eyeball, Lin Qi had the illusion that someone was cutting his body with a knife, trying to dissect all his secrets.

But the fascinating pendant hanging on his chest exudes invisible magical fluctuations, which perfectly conceal all of Lin Qi's breath. No matter how hard the eyes in this bronze shield work hard, Lin Qi behaves like an ordinary person.

As for the donkey standing next to Lin Qi, even the demigods of the Temple of Heaven couldn't see through the reality of the donkey, let alone the magic prohibition in this bronze shield.

"It's interesting!" Lin Qi secretly praised.

The city gate official also looked up at the bronze shield. He said in awe: "One hundred gold coins, Mr. Wan En. This is the city gate tax standard personally drawn up by our Emperor of the Gaul Empire, Holy Light I, ordinary people. One or two coppers will do, but a businessman like you, who comes from a foreign country, has a city gate tax of one hundred gold coins!"

Lin Qi patted his forehead painfully, the new emperor of the Gaul Empire, Holy Light I! Well, this **** guy!

Lin Qi sullenly took out one after another vias gold coins.

The gold coins minted by the Vias Commercial Federation are of excellent quality, and one is equivalent to about two Gaul gold coins in weight. Lin Qi and the city gate official bargained for half an hour, and finally obtained the right to enter Berrily after paying forty-five Vias gold coins.

The city gate official stamped a huge red seal on Lin Qi's passport, which meant that Lin Qi could freely enter and leave Berrily in the next three months. But three months later, he will pay the city gate tax again, which is also a wise decision of the Holy Light I!

The muscles on Lin Qi's face twitched in pain, and with difficulty he took his eyes off the gold coin in the hands of the city gate official. With a long sigh, Lin Qi reluctantly left the gate and walked into Berrily step by step.

The city gate official shook his head. He took out a gold coin and threw it to the soldiers around him: "Go buy some good meat, good food, and six bottles of dragon wine? Today, everyone will have fun after work. As expected, it's Vias's. The miser merchant, it's just a hundred gold coins... It's just that this city gate tax is a bit too expensive!"

Lin Qi rode a donkey and walked blankly in the streets of Berrily.

He turned into the university city of Berrely familiarly, and asked for a room in a small hotel next to the Fifth University. (To be continued.
