Chapter 246 Rainbow Light City
Hongguang City, Yuguang Street.
Yuguang Street is one of the four most prosperous streets in the inner city of Hongguang City. It gathers business houses, noble forces of all sizes and other organizations from all over the world.
At this time, in Yuguang Street.
Lu He took Yue Ling to squeeze leisurely among the crowd, slowly looking at the prosperous and lively scene on this street.
"I have always heard how prosperous Hongguang City is. It is the most popular place in Dawn Forest. Now it is more than prosperous. It is completely different from Dawn Forest."
Yue Ling has never left the tribe too far since she was a child. She looks like she has never seen the world and admires in a low voice.
She wears a white silk corset skirt. The surface of the skirt, which is similar to a cheongsam, reflects the gorgeous silk light. Her dark green long hair is tied up, leaving only a strand on her right shoulder.
In the bright sunlight, the towering breasts and slender waist are extremely dazzling, and the exposed slender legs also reflect a faint white phosphorus-like fluorescence, like ivory jade.
In addition, her appearance is even more beautiful and pure. After all, she is also the top level among the half-elves who are famous for their beauty.
So I don’t know how many rich sons and noble children have attracted along the way.
Although Lu He on the side has a decent temperament, he is now just a foil in comparison.
Patrol guards pass by on the street from time to time, a team of about ten people, led by a fully armed knight attendant.
Along the way, sometimes go to roadside stalls to buy snacks, and sometimes go to street shops to look at handicrafts and various sundries.
Yue Ling had a lot of fun. She bought a lot of things with the salary given by Lu He, carrying big and small bags.
Lu He just strolled around to see how Hongguang City developed so well in this deep mountain forest, surrounded by dangerous places full of alien races, so he was quite casual.
Tomorrow is the auction day, he is not in a hurry, since he is here, it is also good to take a walk.
After walking for more than half an hour, the two are still moving very slowly.
Walking to a corner, turning a corner, the street in front suddenly became more noisy, with a lot of people.
It turned out to be a market square.
At a glance, there were stalls or simple tables, selling everything, medicinal materials, pets, all kinds of strange delicacies, and even performances.
Lu He immediately became interested.
He used to like to visit such places, not to buy anything, but to join in the fun and feel the fireworks of the world.
Entering the market.
Lu He looked around and started to wander from the outermost edge, looking at the stalls one by one.
Yue Ling was inconvenient to carry things, so she bought a bunch of skewers and sat in the rest area of the market to wait for him.
After a while, they came to a medicine stall.
The medicine stall was relatively large in the market, with several tables in front and back. Two of the tables were filled with medicines for treating external injuries, which were placed in small white porcelain bottles.
On the other tables were detoxification medicines, targeting various common poisons in the Dawn Forest.
Several young men in leather armor and strong men dressed like mercenaries were standing in front of the medicine stall.
Lu He took a look at the boss, who turned out to be a plump little man wearing a rather elegant white pharmacist's uniform, with a small grass with thin tube-shaped leaves embroidered on his right chest.
"Boss, did you make all these?" Lu He asked with a little surprise.
He did not open the medicine bottle, but judging from the smell that escaped, the effect of the medicine should be quite good, at least much better than the other medicine shops he saw along the way.
But compared with the boss's appearance, he could not tell that he was a skilled pharmacist.
The little fat man nodded and said, "I just made a batch two days ago, it's fresh, big brother, do you want some? This is a must-have medicine for traveling in the Dawn Forest."
Lu He smiled, picked up a small bottle, pulled out the cork on it, and sniffed it gently.
A pungent smell came to his face, mixed with a faint stench, not much different from overnight shit.
His judgment was correct. It was indeed a rare good product.
"Boss, give us four doses of detoxification and healing potions, and we also need the insect repellent."
At this time, two men who looked like brothers walked up to Lu He, and what they said made the little fat man grin.
"Okay, wait a moment." The little fat man quickly wrapped more than a dozen bottles of potions in a cloth bag and handed it to one of them, "Brother, take it. It's a total of 6 gold coins."
Lu He glanced at the little fat man and felt it was a bit expensive.
But the two didn't say anything. They took the cloth bag and didn't check it. When they were ready to pay and leave.
A woman in green armor came over, holding a knight's long sword and slowly approached the potion stall.
"Hello, senior sister Helen..." When the two brothers saw the woman in green armor, they seemed a little unbelieving at first, but then they both showed a little weird expression.
The older brother of the two greeted her a little embarrassedly.
Helen, the woman in green armor, had a delicate appearance, cold eyes, soft purple hair, and a curvy figure. When she saw the two brothers, she seemed to wonder where they had met before.
"So it's the two juniors here."
Although her tone was familiar, she still couldn't recognize where she had seen the two men.
Could they also be from the academy?
The two brothers' reactions were a bit strange. They just smiled shyly, but didn't dare to talk.
Lu He looked over and happened to meet Helen's inadvertent gaze. The two stopped talking, smiled politely at each other, and then separated.
"Is this beautiful lady also going to participate in the Knight Trial organized by the City-State Alliance?" The little fat man was much more enthusiastic about the beauty and took the initiative to recommend potions.
Helen nodded gently.
She is a farm child of the White Phoenix City-State Alliance.
She has been learning the way of knights from the farm knights since she was a child. She has good talent and hard work. After graduating from high school, she successfully entered a famous knight academy in the alliance.
This time she came to Hongguang City to participate in the knight trials organized by the various colleges of the White Phoenix City-State Alliance.
In fact, there are many people like her. The brothers are probably the same, but I don’t know which college they are from.
If you can get good results in the trial, then...
Helen’s eyes are a little excited.
But then she became nervous again, because the knight trial is not that simple.
The participants are all elite students from all colleges of the White Phoenix City-State Alliance. Although they are voluntary participants, it is estimated that most students with some strength will not give up.
And this is the first time that the trial is held in the Dawn Forest. It is conceivable how difficult it is to get a good ranking.
"Are you two brothers the same?" Seeing that Helen didn't answer, the little fat man started to use roundabout tactics again.
"Yes, that's why I came to buy potions." The two brothers didn't leave, and seemed to want to buy other potions. "Boss, look at your doctor's uniform, are you from Walter Medical College?"
"Yes, I just graduated this year." The little fat man nodded, took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. There was a barbecue stall not far away, and the weather was a bit sultry today.
"Boss, you are awesome!"
"No, I can't compare to you. Those who can participate in the Knight Trial are all chosen by heaven." The little fat man sighed.
It should be said that those who can be admitted to the Knight Academy are not simple, not to mention those who take the initiative to participate in the trial.
You should know that every trial has a mortality rate, and it is relatively high. People who don't have some skills dare not sign up.
"By the way, I recommend this miasma pill to you, which guarantees that you will be safe and sound when you encounter miasma in the trial."
After the two sides talked like this, they started chatting.
When the people at the stalls next to them heard that it was a knight trial, they immediately turned around. They were also several young men and women, chatting enthusiastically.
Only Helen stood alone and looked at the potion on the table, not participating in it.
But she didn't leave either, probably because she wanted to hear some useful information about the knight trial.
Lu He listened to their chattering with relish and found it quite interesting.
The Crescent Empire seemed a bit feudal in comparison. Ordinary people who wanted to take the path of knights either sold themselves to nobles, joined the army or other limited organizations.
Apart from this, there was no other choice.
In the White Phoenix City-State Alliance, knight training seemed to be more common, and there were even special schools for training.
Lu He found that the strength of these students was not weak. They were all beginner knight attendants, and one of them was even intermediate.
That was the purple-armored woman Helen.
Don't look at the large number of knight attendants in the Soros family, which can be seen everywhere, as if they were particularly worthless.
But those are all huge resources, plus a complete and rich training system.
In fact, in the outside world, among ordinary people, the entry-level knight attendants are already incredible masters. After all, they are people who have embarked on the extraordinary path, and many organizations and groups are vying for them.
And the knight attendants above the middle level are already the backbone of the major forces, and they are absolutely elite personnel.
Lu He glanced at the few people who were still discussing enthusiastically.
They all have good cultivation talents.
Especially Helen. If she were in the Soros family, with sufficient resources, she would probably be at least high-level.
This glance happened to see the purple-armored woman Helen covering her mouth with her hands and sneezing towards her.
Obviously for the image.
Helen sneezed halfway and was seen by Lu He. The two looked at each other, she blushed a little and turned away.
Helen looked at the young man out of the corner of her eye.
This guy had short black hair, wore a silk robe with silver edges, and hung a gorgeous rapier around his waist.
But his skin was so delicate that you could tell at a glance that he never did rough work, and the sword was probably used as a decoration.
If he really practiced swordsmanship diligently, how could he not have any calluses on his hands?
Unless he was a knight after the transformation of life, but looking at the green hair on his lips, it was even more impossible.
"It should be a noble son who dressed up like this to pretend when he was out strolling." She guessed in her heart.
In the past two days in Hongguang City, she had seen too many young masters and young ladies like this, all of whom came to see the world with their elders at home.
Many noble descendants did not practice, or gave up halfway through their practice.
Because there is no shortcut to knight practice.
Repeatedly exercising the body and stimulating the deep potential of the human body is a boring and painful process. It is difficult for those spoiled young masters and young ladies to stick to it.
Lu He noticed a hint of contempt in the other person's eyes, but smiled slightly.
When he was about to leave, suddenly a faint noise came from the aisle not far away.
Soon, two middle-aged men and thin teenagers who were pushing and shoving and quarreling ran all the way here.
"I told you to run! If you run again, I'll break your legs!"
The shirtless middle-aged man behind him cursed and chased the thin boy in front with a stick.
He looked like a loving father teaching his son.
The two of them quickly crossed a long distance and approached Lu He's direction.
Several guards not far from the medicine stall saw this scene and looked indifferent. They ignored it and let it go.
Lu He noticed.
The father and son who were chasing had slanted eyes, seemingly careless, but in fact they were constantly scanning the bags on the people around them.
Soon their eyes fell on a young woman who was dressed like a rich lady in the stall in front.
After exchanging glances implicitly, the two rushed past the girl quickly.
"Ouch! What are you doing!" The boy in front seemed to fall on the girl accidentally when passing by.
"Be careful!" The woman screamed and quickly hid inside.
A black shadow flashed, and the thin boy barely stopped his body, recovered his original state, and continued to run forward.
It seemed that he had leaned hard on the pillar next to him to prevent himself from hitting the woman.
But in fact, Lu He had already seen that a jade pendant hanging on the woman had disappeared.
The two men pretended to chase and fight again.
Soon they reached the edge of Lu He, and the boy stumbled over, and one hand reached out to his waist very secretly, trying to pick the gold beans on his belt.
Judging from his sophisticated method, it was obviously not the first time.
Lu He curled his lips, and although his body did not move, the high temperature on his body surface could be emitted at any time.
As long as the thin boy touched it, his outstretched arm would be evaporated directly.
The thin boy cried out again, as if he was hit by a stick from the man behind him, and pressed towards Lu He. His hand also quickly reached his waist and aimed at the gold beans on it.
But at this moment.
Snap!
A section of the green sword handle hit the back of the thin boy's hand accurately, knocking him away.
It was Helen who couldn't help but take action.
She frowned slightly, glanced at Lu He who was still indifferent, and shook her head slightly.
"Go back where you came from!"
She didn't care about the others, but the noble boy was standing next to her. He stole blatantly under her nose. He didn't take her seriously and was too unscrupulous.
The man behind her glanced at her, his eyes fixed on the long sword in her hand. From the leather armor on her body, he knew that she was a knight practitioner, so he ran away without saying anything.
Helen put away the long sword in her hand.
"Thank you for your help, young lady." The noble boy next to her seemed to notice and nodded to thank her.
"You're welcome. When you go out, you still need to be careful. You don't always get help from others."
Helen replied lightly.
"Young lady is right."
Lu He smiled and nodded, but his eyes fell on her face as if he saw her for the first time, and he didn't leave for a long time.
Helen was slightly dissatisfied with being looked at, and when she was about to leave, she turned back and glared at the noble boy again.
Lu He looked at Helen who was leaving and smiled gently.
Just now, when this woman made a move, he found that she was actually a wizard, and she was quite good.
Wizards have very high requirements for qualifications, and there may not be one among thousands or tens of thousands of people.
Since he changed his career to become a wizard, he has not met many people with wizard qualifications.
Although he did not deliberately explore after coming to this world, Helen was only the second person he found. The first one was the half-elf Lala, but her qualifications were very ordinary.
Helen's qualifications are very good, equivalent to two Lala.
Of course, Lu He's own qualifications are even better, at least equivalent to two Helens and four Lala.
After all, he was "randomly" selected by the Eye of Inheritance from billions of people on Earth.
But it was just a surprise.
He did not want to take her to change her career to become a wizard for the time being. As I said, he did not have so much time and energy.
Then he went to the market for a while.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu He took Yue Ling to the most luxurious hotel in the center of the city.
...
In the evening.
In the middle of a small garden in the top floor suite, there is a small round white hot spring swimming pool. The water in the pool is light blue, and there are a series of tiny bubbles at the bottom.
Lu He leaned on the soft cushion beside the pool, raised his head and squinted his eyes slowly, enjoying the warmth of the hot water.
In the side bedroom not far behind him, the sound of a shower sounded. It was Yue Ling who was taking a shower.
Lu He invited her to take a shower together, and wanted her to give him a massage and a bath, but unfortunately he was ruthlessly rejected.
This made him feel a little disappointed.
So he just raised his head and looked into the night sky.
The night sky is brilliant, the silver moon is quiet, and the bright stars flicker in the night sky, so bright, so deep, giving people a feeling of both remoteness and closeness.
At this time, a meteor streaked across the sky, and in an instant, a dazzling white light track was emitted, slowly falling from the sky.
It landed in another suite next to him.
Lu He tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and looked over curiously.
It turned out to be a female sky knight.
Icy blue hair, beautiful and flawless face, blue eyes as cold as ice and snow, wearing a blue starry sky dress with a glittering texture, just like the night sky at that time.
Annies noticed Lu He's gaze, turned her head to look at him, but quickly retracted her gaze.
A naked man, his appearance was vaguely familiar.
Annies didn't think much and walked towards Knight Pavis who came to greet her.
"Lord Anis, good evening."
Pavis was blond and blue-eyed, wearing a black robe, and bowed deeply to Anis.
He glanced at Anis, but didn't dare to look at her any more. He just felt that she was extremely dazzling and had an intoxicating aura.
Anis nodded lightly and walked into the hall.
"She's a bit old, twice as old as me."
Lu He muttered.
He was polite and spoke in a low voice.
Then he took a deep breath, slid his whole body into the swimming pool, leaving only his head leaning against the edge of the pool.
He slowly exhaled a puff of air.
The gas exuded a faint smell of sulfur, and the teeth in his mouth were like crocodile fangs, white and sharp.
