Yecao Town, as its name suggests, is a small town with wild grasses and flowers everywhere.

To be more precise, it is a small human settlement built next to a commonly used trade road.

Although the terrain of Badibila is complex and changeable, and its routes and environmental terrain often undergo earth-shaking changes under the influence of various inexplicable factors, people have finally opened up several relatively fixed routes on Badibila. trade routes.

And Yecao Town is the beneficiary of one of these trade routes.

Of course, it is somewhat wrong to call it a town, because the entire Yecao Town does not have the size of a small town at all. It can only be regarded as a village at best. There is not even a stone building in the town, and most of them are wooden houses. Only a few of them are a mixture of earth and stone.

If Ron hadn't reminded him in advance that this town had existed on this trade road for several years, Aaron might have thought that this town was newly built not long ago.

At this moment, they had left Leiden City for more than two days. However, what puzzled Aaron was that Ron's route was particularly strange.

He was not walking on a business road that had been traveled countless times. Instead, he was following the direction of the business road and walking in the wild beside the business road.

If he wanted to explore Badibila, then he should not follow the trade road.

But while he was advancing along the business road, he had to open up a new path in the wild outside the business road, among a series of obstacles such as branches and shrubs. This seemed too thankless, right?

Of course, Aaron wisely did not ask the reason, and just followed him silently with Alice.

Precisely because they were advancing under such conditions and because Aaron's riding skills were not superb, in fact, even though they had set out for two days, they were still not far from Leiden City.

On the map provided by Hanging Sword, this Wild Grass Town is surprisingly only one day away from Leiden City. It can be regarded as the last or first resting place for the caravans traveling between them.

but……

Aaron looked at the roughly two-meter-high wooden wall and couldn't help but frown.

Calling it a wooden wall is actually an compliment, because this wooden wall is made of branches of uneven thickness.

Because the branches have different bending degrees, the gaps vary in size. At first glance, the largest gap seems to be able to pass through easily by a seven or eight-year-old child.

To say how much protection this kind of wooden wall can have, it is obviously a bit self-deceiving.

In front of such a useless wooden wall, two guards wearing old leather armor stood lazily, leaning against the wall with their spears in their arms, watching them casually.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the wooden wall they were leaning on was obviously skewed, and its tilt angle was clever enough to allow a person to lean comfortably.

The only commendable thing is probably that a layer of wooden boards has been laid at the entrance of Weedao Town. Judging from its quality, it seems that it was only recently laid.

"We will rest here tonight and then set off tomorrow." Ron whispered, "Mr. Aaron, Miss Alice, the rules in Badibila are fundamentally different from those in the kingdom."

He thought for a while, then pursed his lips at the black mist rising vaguely from the ground next to him, "Just like this cult aura, here, cultists can be seen everywhere just like this cult aura."

The black cat in his arms poked its head out and meowed softly. Its green eyes looked at the scene in front of it curiously, and then it simply jumped out of his arms and squatted on the head of the war horse.

Aaron nodded in time and responded: "We won't cause trouble, but we won't be afraid of trouble either."

For this, he had already been mentally prepared.

"Since the Earth-Drilling Demonic Insect has appeared, there will definitely be a lot of movement. In Weedao Town, we should be able to get more intelligence and information, and it can also help us calibrate our position." Ron explained, "However, If there's such a big change in terrain, maybe we'll encounter extra people."

"Extra people?"

"Nature lover, Mr. Aaron." Ron said as he got off his horse, "There will never be a shortage of weird people in this world, right?"

"Druids?" Alice frowned and asked, "You mean them?"

"To be precise, they are extreme protectionist Druids. They believe in protecting every plant in nature, and even believe that the plant itself is a kind of life..." Ron said casually: "In other words, as long as you harm In their eyes, eating plants is harming other people's lives. Most druids can communicate with each other. In fact, they are also willing to communicate with other creatures. Only druids who pay extreme attention to nature protection..."

"If you want to communicate, go in and communicate. Each person needs two silver coins." A guard interrupted Ron's words rudely and pointed to the wooden box next to the door. "Just put the silver coins in. By the way, each war horse needs Collect a silver coin, I mean the silver coin from the Kingdom of Algrant, don’t fool us with Lenofica’s silver beads.”

Aaron's brows couldn't help but raise, and he couldn't help but take another look at Weedao Town, which looked unreliable.

The cost seems a bit high...

In the Kingdom of Algrant, a decimal currency system is followed, that is to say, one gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins.

If one only considers self-production and consumption, then one silver coin is enough for a person to enjoy a relatively rich meal for more than ten days.

And now, you have to charge so much just to pay a toll?

Three people, nine horses, fifteen silver coins for toll alone?

Although Aaron knew that things in Badibila were expensive, he did not expect it to be so expensive.

Ron was not surprised by the price. Anyway, the Hanging Sword organization would reimburse him for all reasonable expenses.

After he dropped the silver coins in front of the two guards, one of the guards raised his chin and signaled that they could go in.

"For the sake of you being so virtuous, I would like to remind you to take good care of your women." He reminded him intentionally or unintentionally, "This is Badibila. I heard that some people are spending a lot of money to find women recently, hehe..."

As he said that, he closed his eyes comfortably, obviously not wanting to communicate more with Aaron and the others.

However, a silver coin hit his outstretched hand intentionally or unintentionally.

"I heard that there is a village that has been recruiting young and beautiful women. If the price is high, some people will be tempted, especially since she is a noble lady... Haha, the noble lady shouldn't be here. It's too late to go back now. , of course, tolls will not be refunded.”

The guard opened his eyes again, looked at Alice lightly, and said to Ron, "Also, welcome to Badibira."
