Chapters... 192: Xiao Empire
Zhou Jim, who had not left beside the old man, approached Zhou Fan as he walked over.
Auk...
The wolf stroked Zhou Fan's feet, making the young man a little difficult to step up.
"Jim... Don't you want your rations?" Zhou Jim immediately silently stared, as if regretting his behavior.
"Grandfather, I think it's time for me to leave." Zhou Fan said to the white-haired old man.
"Aren't you wondering why those bandits are after me?" ask the white-haired old man.
Curious? Of course he was curious, considering that the bandits were not just looking for ordinary goods.
Zhou Fan did not reply, he simply smiled as he spread his shoulders.
"If you're curious, I can tell you, it's actually not a very important item that should be kept a secret, but it's a valuable item."
the old man seemed to want to attract Zhou Fan's attention with the item he said.
No doubt Zhou Fan was getting curious, he who had previously turned his back to stop his footsteps.
"They knew I was the moon palace elder, and every elder must have a special card, and that card they were after." The old man took out a green square card, there it was clearly written 'moon palace'.
"Moon palace?" Zhou Fan parroted, he did not know what the moon palace was, in his shadow the moon palace was the kind of Imperial palace that existed in the Wei Empire.
"Are you not a person of the Xiao Empire?" the old man asked spontaneously, his forehead appearing to shrivel as he looked at Zhou Fan from head to toe.
"My God is the Wei Empire" Zhou Fan replied briefly.
"Owh... It's only right that you don't know the moon palace, if you're a Xiao Empire person, you'll know who and what the moon palace is." The old man nodded while stroking his beard.
Hearing the grandfather's explanation, Zhou Fan wanted to know how great the moon palace was until this grandfather before him flattered him so high.
"The moon palace is a body that stands as a means of auction, and our power already covers the entire Xiao Empire" he said proudly.
"Only auctions, how is it different from the auction bodies in the Wei Empire?" zhou Fan asked in his mind.
According to him, the old man before him was too exalting the moon palace. It was no different from the medicinal pavilion if it was in the Wei Empire.
"You must have felt that I was too flattering for the moon palace, but it was not strange for a newcomer to doubt that. However, you can judge for yourself, by attending the auction at the moon palace."
The old man again took out a similar card, but it looked different in terms of color, this one was silvery white.
"That's an auction card, I give it to you for helping me, as long as you know, not just anyone can attend the auction of the moon palace."
The old man then darted away from Zhou Fan who continued to observe the cards in his hands, occasionally the young man flipped through the cards in hand, and then turned around, he felt that the card in his hand was just ordinary paper with a moon symbol and a crown on it.
Zhou Fan finally continued on his way to the nearest stop, he had forgotten that he was still on the sand.
Zhou Fan drove at maximum speed, he was not worried about Zhou Jim, because his wolf could run beside him.
Originally Zhou Fan was so shocked that Zhou Jim could compensate for half of his speed, the curious Zhou Fan limit Zhou Jim further increased his speed, and beyond belief, the, that third-rate wolf beast was able to compensate for it.
After traveling for several hours, Zhou Fan was finally able to see the entrance to the Xiao Empire.
But now, there was no longer any dispute between the Xiao Empire and the Wei Empire, leaving the inhabitants of both Empires free to travel, despite having to carry out strict checks from the border guards.
"Fifty gold coins!" said the guard with a face.
If Zhou Fan had not known they were border guards, he might have thought that the group of people dressed in black with red lines were predators.
As their ruler does his work, if anyone does not obey the words that are thrown out, then he is ready to come out.
Zhou Fan who was in line, was still waiting for his turn to enter the territory of the Xiao Empire.
"One hundred gold coins!" The voice of the guard again sounded.
"Wouldn't it be fifty gold coins, I'm pretty sure the person before me paid fifty gold coins." The middle-aged man did not accept the guard's attitude of arbitrarily raising the entrance rate.
"You may not pay, but do not expect to enter the Xiao Empire!" sarcastic words of the guard.
Zhou Fan who heard the commotion spontaneously tilted his head to see what was happening.
He could see two guards blocking the middle-aged man who was about to enter because he did not want to pay a tariff that he thought was too expensive.
"But I only have sixty gold coins, and that includes my food supply for the next few days."
The middle-aged man tried to seek leniency, he came to the Xiao Empire to put in a job, supposedly saying that the laborers in the Xiao Empire were more prosperous than those in the Wei Empire.
"Kc... Just bother!" The guard turned on the bag of gold coins that was within the grasp of the middle-aged man. "Hurry in!"
"The guards were always blackmailing the incoming population, supposedly the entrance fee was only thirty gold coins, but they were willingly raising the price." The middle-aged woman behind Zhou Fan hummed in annoyance.
"That's because they have a backside supporter, they're not afraid of getting caught, because the city lord is behind him." The man not far from her responded to the middle-aged woman's words.
"This new city lord does look incompetent, unlike the previous city lord who always prioritizes the interests of the population" said the middle-aged woman.
Zhou Fan only listened, until finally the time for him to enter the city arrived.
Zhou Fan walked with Zhou Jim who kept tailing behind him. No one was surprised by the wolf figure that followed Zhou Fan, because there were already many hunters who made wolves or dogs as their life friends.
"Fifty gold coins for one life" said the guard with a puzzled face.
He was somewhat hesitant to say the incoming tariffs for Zhou Fan, out of the many people who entered Biyu City only that young man had no power.
Zhou Fan raised next to his brows, making the guard have to explain. "You must pay for every living thing that enters."
Zhou Fan handed over a hundred gold coins, and went straight inside.
"Junk!" the sizzle of the guard when Zhou Fan easily took out the gold coins, meant that the young man had no strength to resist.
Previously he had doubted that the young man with the wolf was an ordinary person, but after getting paid he was confident of his thoughts.
Zhou Fan ruffled his waist while staring at the crowd of people who were busy doing his activities.
"Empire Xiao, I'm coming!"
