Xanadu, my martial soul in Douluo continent

The campfire crackled, meat pieces were skewered on clean bamboo branches, and excess sauce dripped onto the campfire, causing a sizzling sound.

The aroma filled the air, and the male traveler was hungry. At this moment, he quickly took off the barbecue and devoured it while telling his experience.

His name was Ross, and he was from the Belen family. He was a well-known winemaker in the Belen area. In search of winemaking materials, he hired a hunter as a guide to lead him to the barren mountains.

Originally, the investigation was coming to an end, but they suddenly encountered a ferocious wolf. Seeing that the situation was not good, the hunter abandoned Ross and fled quickly. Rose's reaction was a little slow, but the ferocious wolf caught up with him.

As a winemaker, Ross often adjusted the barrels, and he was very strong, so he used the ferocious wolf to bite, pressed the ferocious wolf's back with his backhand, and clamped the waist and throat in one go.

Later, he and the ferocious wolf were in a stalemate, so he simply started calling for help, hoping that the hunter would find his way back.

After speaking, Ross immediately spoke in a respectful tone, "Ross Belen will remember this kindness in his heart."

Two yellow and one purple, three soul rings, and at most fourteen faces, it is really unbelievable.

His son is also a soul master, with more than half of the third level of innate soul power. He is a cultivation genius of the Beren family. He is now over 18 years old and has even just broken through the third level.

Arriving at the Third Ring Road at the age of thirteen or fourteen, isn’t that a monster?

Even if you take away this kindness, it is still worth the trouble to make friends.

"It's just a matter of convenience, no need to be polite. This trip to Belem, it is fate that you and I meet. I heard that the autumn festival will be held soon, can you tell us about it?"

Baicai hid the mission target, pretended to be a passing traveler, and casually chatted about Belen's current situation.

"Autumn Festival?"

Ross was overjoyed, "The Autumn Festival is a traditional festival in Belém. Every family drinks wine together. The winery outside the city selects the best wines and sends them to the Gui family to sprinkle under the trees. They pray for a good harvest according to ancient rituals."

"The festival is approaching and the hotel may be full. If you want to enjoy the festival, you might as well stay at the Belem Winery temporarily."

Baicai immediately stopped eating and asked, "Gui family?"

"The city lord's family has been hosting rituals for over a thousand years and has been the lord of Belem for generations."

Ross quickly explained, "The Gui family, the Belen family, the industry association, the School of Souls, and the four forces in the Belen area. The Gui family and the Belen family were the first to appear, and the industry association and the School of Life were the last. It is said that thousands of years ago, the Gui family and the School of Souls

The Belen family jointly governed Belen. Later, the Gui family gradually declined, and the industry association took over the management of Belen from the Gui family, and the School of Life was established accordingly."

"Rise and fall, all things are false, all things are permitted."

Baicai sighed, "The Belem area should be an agricultural city from the beginning. It is natural for the industry association to take over the management of Belem from the Gui family."

Ross echoed: "It is true that thousands of years ago, the Gui family and the Belen family had a lot of land. However, the output of the land was not as good as the goods sold. The Belen family could still survive relying on the wine industry, but the Gui family had no choice but to keep selling land.

For hundreds of years, the property has made no progress other than hosting rituals."

"wrong!"

Baicai interrupted, "Where are the taxes?"

No matter how declining the Gui family is, they are still the lord of the city. The Belen area is very prosperous. Even if the tax is 200 yuan, it is a huge sum of money.

"There are no taxes in Belém."

Ross smiled bitterly, "The ancestors of Beren came here to flee the wilderness and could not squeeze out any money. Even if Beren later established a city and the Douling Empire sent tax collectors, they were still firmly resisted."

"Conflicts intensified, and the Belen region is about to rebel. The Douling Empire finally made a compromise. The Belen region will be exempted from all future taxes and is equivalent to an autonomous city-state."

"From now on, no taxation is allowed in the Belem area. A system has been formed. The Gui family has been the city lord for generations, and the Belem area has been tax-free for generations."

Baicai instantly understood, "The Gui family represents Belen."

Ross applauded and praised, "That's right."

Baicai immediately reported his false identity, "Bai Ye, from Xingluo, a healing soul master."

Ross also announced his identity, "Ross Belen, from Belen, Silver Star Winemaker."

…

Day and night flowed by, and it was early morning.

Cabbage folded the tent and Ross gathered wild fruits. After the sun came out, the two set off for Belem.

Crossing the hills and stepping into a grassy plain, you can spot a few families of herdsmen every time you go a little distance away.

Ross went into one of the houses, emptied his pockets and took out a few gold soul coins. After selecting them, he bought two docile riding horses.

These horses are extremely docile and can be ridden even if you don't know how to ride them. Moreover, these horses are old horses and are familiar with the road conditions. The riders can reach the city even while sleeping.

Ross rode in front and Baicai rode behind. In less than half a day, they had arrived outside the city of Belem.

The city walls of Belem are very tall, and the city gate is more than ten meters high. The city gate guards did not collect any taxes except for inspecting goods.

Before noon, there was already a long queue at the city gate, and there was a bustle of merchants coming and going. Vendors in short shorts of fine cloth were selling hot breakfast everywhere.

The oily aroma of meat and vegetables, the sweet aroma of sugar cubes, and the refreshing aroma of fruits and vegetables are all mixed together to form a fresh taste.

Belem, this is a civilian city, solid and gentle.

Although Shrek City is exquisite, it serves soul masters after all. It is a city of soul masters, illusory and cold.

"This is Belen!"

After entering the city, Baicai exclaimed, "Even comparable to..."

"The Star Luo Empire is the political center after all."

Of course Ross thought he omitted to refer to the Star Luo Imperial Capital, after all, Baicai was born in Star Luo.

"Imperial Capital?"

Baicai was noncommittal, "The soul master competition held every five years may be much more lively than Beren."

The royal family, nobles, sects, colleges, Noumenon Sect, Mingdetang, Holy Spirit Sect, all kinds of forces are mixed together, and they can burn almost everything.

"Yes, the soul master competition held every five years is so exciting."

Ross suddenly felt melancholy, "It's a pity that the School of Creation has not signed up for this competition. Otherwise, my son might be able to be selected as a substitute."

"Able to participate, substitute players, under twenty years old, above the third level, with innate soul power of at least two levels."

Most of Shrek's competition teams are the regular first team, and substitute players rarely play. For competition teams from other colleges, the substitute players are all regular second teams, so they need to have a third ring or above.

Baicai hesitated, "Theoretically speaking, at least one of the parents..."

Ross is obviously an ordinary person. Unless his son's martial soul mutates, Ross's wife must be a soul master.

Based on the age of her spouse, Rose's wife is even the Soul King.

"Lisa...my wife..."

Rose burst into tears, "Ten years ago, Lisa was a senior teacher at the School of Life. She led students to hunt for soul rings and encountered two black water swamp crocodiles..."

"Lisa likes fruit wine, which has a delicate fragrance with a slight sweetness. For the past ten years, every autumn festival, I will collect wild fruits and brew a can, but Lisa has..."

A genius girl who likes fruit wine, and a rich boy who loves making wine, what a romantic love story.

Unfortunately, this story is not a happy one.
