Chapter 798: The Abandoned City of Kandar(1/2)
"Gulugulu..."
The wheels were pressed on the ground, and everyone was crowded in the carriage and leaning on each other.
But there is no trace of Bai Qiyun in between.
After all, there are women in the carriage, and there is inevitably physical contact because of the crowding. As a man, he must avoid suspicion.
Of course, if it was just Ying and Jiuzhao, it would be nothing. It was a habit for the few people to have a little physical contact on the journey.
But Ye Lan and Xiaoqing, who just joined the team, are different. They both have to leave sooner or later. Bai Qiyun feels that she still has to keep a suitable distance from the two.
It took everyone four or five days to get from Luoda Village to Kandar, and a huge city slowly spread out from the other end of the horizon in front of the eyes of several people.
It was like the corpse of a giant beast that had been dead for a long time, lying on the distant ground, as if telling the people coming and going that there was once a powerful ancient civilization standing here.
"That's the abandoned city, is it Kandal?"
Looking at the buildings of different shapes in the distance, Paimon's eyes were full of curiosity.
Proudly being the best guide of Tivat, Paramount is very curious about the cultural scenery of Tivat.
If it weren't for the fact that Ying and the others were anxious to investigate the matter in Kandal, Paramon might have been here for a long time.
Of course, it may be consuming it on eating.
"Okay, I'll be here with you."
Ye Lan stretched her waist, and her graceful figure was exposed to the air, but unfortunately, only other women in the carriage could enjoy this beautiful view.
Along the way, she ate and slept with a few people, which also enhanced a lot of feelings.
Surprisingly, Ye Lan doesn't seem to get close to her, but her actual social ability is beyond the eight paramones of Jiuzhao Sara.
After spending these days together, she has basically understood the bottom of the girls except for what color the underwear is.
This is also the basic skill of intelligence personnel's clichés, and it is reasonable.
The woman jumped out of the carriage in a few strokes, and the agile figure disappeared into the mountains and forests in a few breaths.
The brief farewell made the scene look less like a parting, more like Ye Lan just went out for breakfast.
However, Bai Qiyun was not worried about that guy. There was no simple woman who could be regarded as a confidant by Ning Guang.
It would be better to say that Ye Lan's departure made him feel relieved. As soon as the woman got into the car, she felt like she had a nail inserted into his back, making him feel uncomfortable no matter how she did it.
"The guy who is in the way finally disappeared. Let's talk about ourselves."
Bai Qiyun took out the information provided by Faisal before.
The family in charge of the city of Kandar is a family named ‘Nisu’. They are funded by Liyue merchants all year round, so generally, Liyue people often choose to borrow from Kandar to the next city and go to Sumeru.
It is precisely for this reason that the local economic pillar of Kandar is the various antiques unearthed from tourism and relics.
Local agricultural products and various daily necessities need to be transported from the outside world, but this is not a problem for Kandal, supported by Liyue merchants. After all, Liyue himself is the largest transit station. As long as you have money, you will have whatever you want.
And there is another thing that attracted Bai Qiyun's attention, that is, the Nissu family actually has a cooperative relationship with Liyue's Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.
This can be used.
"Let's say hello to Nisu's house first and ask them to mobilize local forces to find Ying's relatives."
Although doing this feels like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is a routine matter every time you go to a new area.
Bai Qiyun looked at the rest of the people in the carriage and continued.
"In addition, we also need to use the Nissu family to investigate the disappearance of minerals in the Liyue Strata Rock Abyss. If this matter is really related to the Zhimo Society, it must be investigated."
This is not just about cooperating with Ye Lan's action. When it comes to the Spin Demon Society, Bai Qiyun's current top priority is to pull them out of the shadows. He has not forgotten the tragic situation in the future.
During these days' journeys, although Bai Qiyun could not directly reveal the future, he also told the threat of the Spin Demon Society to several people indirectly, which successfully made Ye Lan realize the danger of this organization.
But this is thanks to the eye-catching performance of the Spin Demon Society in Qingquan Town, otherwise Bai Qiyun would not be able to convince several people to raise their vigilance towards the Spin Demon Society so much.
"You have a good idea, but will the Nissu family do these things for us?"
The fluorescent golden eyes blinked and blinked, and the slender eyelashes trembled back and forth on the girl's face like a cat's tail.
She leaned on her chin and her head was slightly tilted, as if she was looking at Bai Qiyun's side face.
"It should be no problem. Don't forget that we had an official endorsement when we left Tianyang Pass."
Bai Qiyun took out the document with a stamp, and in addition to it, there was a relatively hidden identity certificate. It was not a big problem to use these things for the cooperation of the Nissu family.
The real problem is on the other side.
"It's just that if we do, we haven't arrived in Feromas yet, but our names must have been on the table of the Margaret and the mayor."
What you do in Luoda Village will eventually be passed back to Feromas, but Bai Qiyun does not regret his choice.
"Feromas is just a small city, I don't think you have to take them to heart."
Miss Tengou picked up her arms. As the former general of the Inami Wife, she seemed very qualified to say this.
The dark golden eyes stayed on Xiaoqing for a moment, then turned to the boy.
"Compared with that, I think the most important thing is to first explore the reality of the city."
"You mean..."
Looking at Jiujo Saluo's pretty face, Bai Qiyun seemed to understand her thoughts.
———
The road leading to Kandar in Luoda Village was repaired. At this time, stone signs were set up at both ends of the city, with two words: Liyue and Sumeru.
Because the flow of people is not too large, even after entering the city, there was no guard ordering a few people to get off the car. He just told him not to speed too fast when entering the city.
Of course, many speed bumps have been set up in the city, which makes it very uncomfortable for the horse to run.
Although the travel experience has been reduced by more than one level, it has also significantly reduced the incidence of accidents.
"Woo..."
Looking at the quaint buildings on both sides of the block, Paimon subconsciously exclaimed.
If she didn't tell her, she would have thought she had returned to Liyue Port.
No, this place is even more traditional than Liyuegang. All kinds of buildings pursue the ultimate classical beauty, and many modern instruments have been abandoned.
For example, Bai Qiyun looked at the pharmacy that was open on the side, and there was no electric light inside, and he was still using fuel lamps and glowing essence lighting.
Are these guys primitive?
"You guys look at that."
Looking along the direction of Ying, a bunch of small vendors on both sides of the road were squatting on the ground, and piles of antiques were placed in front of them.
Judging from the breath left over from above, many of them are real people.
"But these antiques should be local objects from Kandal. Compared to antiques, these things are more likely to be regarded as local specialties for tourists."
I have to say that this is also sad from a certain perspective. It is somewhat unbearable to sell the items left over from one's civilization as commodities.
But it is even more helpless that there are a large number of antique vendors in Kandal who make a living by relying on this thing to break the road. Many locals cannot even support themselves.
Success is business, failure is business.
Kandal chose this more convenient path at the beginning, but it is normal that it is difficult to return now.
"Hey...hey? Look, the one on the ground is a scam sculpture! He dares to sell it blatantly into antiques!"
Fortunately, Paimon was sitting in the carriage, otherwise the seller would have to come up to make a theory.
Whoever says that cheating flowers can’t be antiques? Then I don’t know which cheating flowers or slime was born first, so it’s normal to turn them into antiques.
In order not to let Paimon say something misleading, Bai Qiyun drove a carriage into the living area and stayed away from the antique street.
There are not many pedestrians in the Kandal living area, but many of them can be seen as tourists from other places. They walk and stop and enjoy the local scenery while enjoying the delicious food. Bai Qiyun could only drive away.
But what Bai Qiyun wanted to complain was that the street was full of Liyue-style buildings and food, so what could you do to travel here?
It’s better to go home and go shopping in Liyuegang, which is even more authentic.
The carriage walked on the street for half an hour, and the few people finally arrived at the main house of the Nissu family in Kandal.
Unlike the ancient buildings in Liyue around, the houses of the Nissu family obviously have local characteristics that cannot be found in the area, which makes people refreshing.
"parking!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, the guards from the gatehouse came over.
They were tall and big, wearing excellent equipment, which was a very different story from those guards in Luoda Village.
The guards' tone was a bit tough, but when they saw that Bai Qiyun got out of the car had Li Yue's face, they immediately changed their face.
"Sir, are you here for something?"
The speed of changing faces from front to back is amazing, but Bai Qiyun didn't make much embarrassed for them.
He took out his identification certificate from Tianyang Pass.
"I have something to ask the people from the Nissu family to inform you."
Since he chose to act openly, Bai Qiyun was too lazy to hide his identity.
To be continued...
