Chapter 60: Falling Star City: Baron Darles
"Who is that?"
Zhou Qing asked Romantina when he saw the pot-bellied, elegantly dressed man and the four soul masters behind him whose soul power fluctuations were above level 20.
Those people are obviously nobles. Romantina, the daughter of the deputy city lord, should know them.
"Baron Darles."
Romantina's expression at this moment became extremely formal, and even gave Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu a sense of the dignified demeanor that aristocrats should have.
Compared with the previous situation when she would get horny at any time, she is now a completely different person.
【really! 】
[This Romantina would not behave so rebelliously in front of a fellow noble... Or maybe, it's because Tang San, Xiao Wu, and I are just children, so we let ourselves go? ]
Zhou Qing remained calm, and his impression of Romantina became richer.
"However, he is not a noble from Notting City." Romantina continued, "He is the baron and mayor of Falling Star City, a city near the border of the Xing Luo Empire."
"That's weird. Is this the territory of the Tiandou Empire? Why would people from Luoxing City come here?" Although Xiao Wu had just arrived in the human world, she knew that there were two major empires in the human world. In her mind, she compared the two empires to the territories of two major soul beast tribes, and they could not rashly enter each other's territory.
"Although the two empires are clearly separated, apart from important cities, residents of other small and medium-sized cities located on the borders of the two empires can exchange what they have and trade with each other. Neither side will care too much. Of course, if something happens, no one will go to seek justice for civilians without status. But if I encounter it, I will intervene."
Romantina looked at Xiao Wu strangely and found that this young lady who looked like she came from a big sect or a big family seemed to know nothing, but she still explained patiently.
“Therefore, it is not uncommon for people from Falling Star City to come to the Soul Hunting Forest near Notting City to hunt soul beasts. Similarly, soul masters from Notting City can also go to the Soul Hunting Forest near Falling Star City to hunt soul beasts.”
"After all, the people guarding the Soul Hunting Forest are knights of the Spirit Hall. As long as the formalities are completed, they can enter."
Tang San nodded: "The food from Holy Soul Village can be sold to Notting City and Falling Star City at the same time."
Zhou Qing analyzed the reasons why the soul masters from Falling Star City came here to hunt soul beasts: "Different soul beast forests have different types of soul beasts. Perhaps they came to Notting Forest mainly because there are soul beasts here that are not found in the Falling Star Soul Hunting Forest."
This should be the main reason.
After all, the distance between Holy Soul Village and Notting City is quite far. It takes half a day to get there by ox cart. It can be imagined that it would take a lot of time for the soul masters from Luoxing City to come to the Soul Hunting Forest near Notting City from there, even if the carriage is better.
Going far and wide is definitely for the purpose of obtaining a soul ring that suits one's own martial soul.
"What is the opponent's martial spirit?" Zhou Qing asked Romantina.
"The Fanged Boar is a beast spirit known for its fangs." Romantina said, "The other party should be here to hunt the Moo Spring Ox. This kind of spirit beast is also suitable for the Fanged Boar."
"Aren't Moo Spring Bulls distributed in most soul beast forests?" Tang San suspected that the other party's target was not Moo Spring Bull. "Moo Spring Bulls are a seasonal soul beast that will migrate. Although there are fences around this soul hunting forest, for this kind of migratory soul beast species, when the corresponding season arrives, a passage will be opened to allow Moo Spring Bulls to go out, otherwise Moo Spring Bulls will break the fence."
Zhou Qing talked about the habits of the Moo Spring Ox. "The Moo Spring Ox is a gentle soul beast. During migration, it will try its best to avoid contact with other creatures. In other words, it will basically not break into human villages. That's why the major soul hunting forests make such exceptions."
"Now it is autumn, and winter is coming soon. When the number of Moo Spring Cows does not exceed 20, they cannot migrate too far, so they can only look for a relatively warm forest nearby. The winter temperature in Notting City should be a little higher than that in Falling Star City."
Romantina confirmed Zhou Qing's statement: "That should be the case. I used to go to Falling Star City with my father during the Chinese New Year to visit the city lord there. I felt that it was much colder there than Notting City. In Notting City in winter, the water freezes and is only two centimeters thick, while in Falling Star City it is five centimeters, and in some places it is even more than ten centimeters. It's only more than two hundred miles away."
More than two hundred...li?
Zhou Qing was speechless.
But we also learned from her words that, although soul beasts are rare in the border area between the two empires, the area is really not small.
"Isn't this Romantina?"
at this time.
Baron Dales had already brought the four people behind him to Zhou Qing and the others. He only glanced at Zhou Qing and the others, and his eyes fell on Romantina, to be precise, on her chest. The corners of his mouth were raised in an exaggerated arc, and combined with his round figure, he looked particularly wretched.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, Your Excellency Baron Darles." Romantina bowed with an expressionless face. She didn't seem to be noticed by the other party's burning eyes at all, as if she had entered the sage time.
"Haha, I've broken through to level 30 and I need a Moo Spring Ox spirit ring, so I came here. Are you guys also hunting Moo Spring Ox?"
Baron Darles glanced at the beef of the Mooing Spring Cattle, and said with a tone that did not allow for argument, "I want to hunt the leader of this group of Mooing Spring Cattle. It should be almost 500 years old, which is just right for my third spirit ring. I wonder if Miss Romantina can tell us where the Mooing Spring Cattle are?"
"It goes that way." Romantina pointed to the gap in the woods that was pushed open by the mooing spring cattle.
Even though the leader of the Moo Spring Oxen had died and became Zhou Qing's spirit ring, and the beef had been roasted and eaten, Romantina didn't want to spend too much time with this wretched baron.
Romantina didn't mind being "abnormal" in front of other people, as it was a way to relax, but if she showed it in front of the nobles, she would lose face for her father.
Therefore, Romantina felt exhausted and even meaningless when communicating with such nobles.
This is also the main reason why she joined the Notting Guild and became an adventurer.
"Thank you Miss Romantina for telling me. It seems that you are helping the three children hunt soul beasts? Have they obtained suitable soul rings? If not, you can join us. I have brought four great soul masters with me. Even if it is a thousand-year-old soul beast, we can still fight against it." Dales obviously had ulterior motives and wanted to spend more time with Romantina.
But Romantina refused without hesitation: "Thank you for your kindness, Baron Darles, but my three friends have already obtained the appropriate spirit rings, so you don't need to worry about it anymore."
“That’s such a pity…”
