Chapter 340 Encounter with Flanders
We took a carriage and left Nottingham. After nearly three days of travel, we arrived in the territory of the Kingdom of Barak.
"The city of Soto is just ahead."
The soul beast Dancing Winter Rabbit does not only exist in the Northern Forest. It is only distributed in large numbers in the Northern Forest close to the Far North, and some individuals exist for more than 700 years.
To travel from the Province of Fasno to the northern end of the Tiandou Empire, one needs to pass through several kingdoms and principalities and change carriages several times along the way.
Under normal circumstances, excluding factors such as weather, accidents encountered along the way, etc., it will take at least half a month.
Soto City is one of the main cities in the Kingdom of Barak and has a fighting arena. Buyi plans to change the carriage here.
"Is it so troublesome?"
This was also Romantina's first time traveling far away. She usually just visited Nottingham and several nearby cities, so there was no need to go through so much trouble.
"If you want to travel far away in the future, especially to hunt the soul beasts you want, you will have to experience this."
Bu Yi shared her experience with Zhou Qing and the others, "If you become a Soul Emperor in the future, no, as long as you become a Soul King, your soul power will be strong, and you won't need a carriage, and your travel speed will be greatly accelerated."
"In addition, if you want to reach your destination faster, you need to raise some gentle ten-year-old soul beast horses. They can travel a thousand miles a day."
As they were talking, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of Soto City.
Compared with Nottingham City, the gate of Soto City is larger, more than 30 meters high and about 20 meters thick. The guards of the gate have more sophisticated armor and weapons.
Everyone got off the car, paid the entrance fee, and walked into the city, while the coachman drove back.
After entering the city, Bu Yi did not waste any time and took Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Romantina to find the post station at the north city gate to prepare to hire a new carriage.
"You have come at the right time. There is only one carriage left at the North City Post Station. I will take you there." The postman smiled and invited everyone to the parking area.
"and many more!"
Just after he took a few steps, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties walked in from outside. This man had a very distinctive appearance, with a slightly protruding chin, wide cheekbones, a flat face, and a slightly hooked nose. On his nose bridge he wore a pair of black-framed crystal glasses with square lenses.
Overall, the first impression given is that of being treacherous and cunning.
This middle-aged man was accompanied by two children, one big and one small.
The older child was about seven or eight years old, with neat short hair, but an exaggerated beard on his chin, making him look quite mature.
Moreover, after seeing Romantina and Bu Yi, this guy stared at their chests with his peach blossom eyes without blinking.
The other child looked only six years old, but was as fat as a ball. He was born with dark red hair and had a middle-parted hairstyle, which made him look quite artistic.
[These three people are...]
Zhou Qing already had some guesses about the identities of these three people.
"Dean Flanders!"
as predicted!
The postman called out the other party's identity, which confirmed Zhou Qing's inner guess.
The postman smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"
It wasn't because the postman also graduated from Shrek Academy, but because he knew that Flanders was a Soul Saint, and he was just flattering him. "Haha, two months ago I met a genius in a small village, his innate soul power was level nine, and after two months of training, he has reached level ten. I have accepted him as my personal disciple, and I plan to take him to the volcanoes and deserts in the south of the continent to hunt soul beasts."
Flanders said with a bit of boasting, "The carriages at the other three post stations have been rented out, so we can only try our luck here... Well, this is the downside of big cities. There are only a few post stations, but there are many merchants and travelers coming and going."
With Flanders' strength at the Soul Saint level, it wouldn't be a problem for him to fly to the extreme southern volcanoes and barren deserts of Douluo Continent. He just needed to bring some more supplies.
But Ma Hongjun is only six years old. He probably wouldn’t be able to bear being taken flying by Flanders!
Therefore, a horse-drawn carriage is an essential means of transportation!
"That's really unfortunate. These guests arrived before you."
The postman was a little embarrassed, but he was more inclined to Flanders and said to Buyi, "Ladies and gentlemen, how about you give the carriage to these three? Dean Flanders is a Soul Saint!"
Soul Saint! ?
Bu Yi was shocked, but he didn't dare to confront such a big shot.
But before she could speak, Flanders waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about? It's as if I'm bullying you by taking advantage of my strength!"
The postman was embarrassed and stepped aside.
Afterwards, Flanders looked at Bu Yi, Zhou Qing, Tang San, Romantina and the others. After his gaze stayed on Zhou Qing and Tang San for a few seconds, he exclaimed in amazement: "You two are only about six or seven years old, right? You have grown so fast, your height is comparable to that of an ordinary adult. Haha, to some extent, you are also monsters. It's a pity that I can't sense the fluctuations of your soul power. Do you have no talent for cultivation?"
"Hello, Dean Flanders."
Zhou Qing took the lead and said, "Thank you for your compliment, but we don't want to give the car to you."
Suddenly, Bu Yi's heart almost rose to his throat. He opened his mouth, but finally chose to believe Zhou Qing.
Seeing this, Flanders pushed his glasses down on his nose, slightly surprised.
I thought this young woman in her late thirties was the leader...
He just wanted to use the two children who were growing too fast as the topic and launch into a long speech that would appeal to her emotions and reason, so that she would willingly give up the carriage to him.
After all, the academy was short of funds, especially after his good friend, Yu Xiaogang, came to him a few days ago, so he had to be more frugal.
After Yu Xiaogang left Notting College, he did not go to Soto City right away for the sake of his reputation. It was not until his money was almost gone that he had to go to Shrek College.
Originally, Flanders planned to take Ma Hongjun to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt a soul beast with fire attributes, but Yu Xiaogang suggested going to the Antarctic volcano or the barren desert to hunt a soul beast called the Fiery Bird, so as to fully unleash Ma Hongjun's talent as the Evil Fire Phoenix.
In order for his beloved disciple to acquire the best soul skills, and out of his trust in Yu Xiaogang, Flanders prepared to set off for the Antarctic volcano.
But unexpectedly, the leader among these four people was not the young woman in her thirties, but a six-year-old boy!
"Cattle!"
Oscar took a breath and gave Zhou Qing a thumbs up:
Ma Hongjun also showed an obscene smile.
Both of them were of pure commoner origin, and both came from small villages. As for sexual matters between men and women, they might not have experienced it themselves, but they definitely knew a lot.
After all, the houses in rural villages have poor sound insulation.
Zhou Qing ignored these two guys who already had the talent of being "lively", and just glanced at Romantina. He was surprised to find that he had no interest in these two precocious boys. He remained calm, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Tell me your conditions. What do you want in exchange for giving us the carriage?" Flanders calmly placed his hand on his waist bag, hoping that the other party would not ask for too much.
