Chapter 203 - Candle Dragon
While Ji Hao and his teammates were being attacked, Pu Ban City was incomparable quiet and peaceful.
Ying Yunpeng held his hands behind his body, while walking slowly and leisurely in the clean and tidy Ten Sun Market. Just as its name implied, the Ten Sun Market was set in Pu Ban City by the Ten Sun Country. The Ten Sun Country was the most powerful human-ruled country in the Eastern Wasteland. It had over ten thousand different-sized clans as its appendages. With its great power, the Ten Sun Country had monopolized over fifty percent of the business in Eastern Wasteland products within Pu Ban City.
The Eastern Wasteland had bountiful of all kinds of spices, woods, herbal medicines, and precious jade, all of which could be found at the Ten Sun Market. Pearls, hawksbill, coral, and other simple treasures that had come from the Great Eastern Ocean and the Eastern Wasteland, were piled like useless rocks in the Ten Sun Market.
Beautiful mermaids, proud and muscular young human-like dragon girls, strong aquatic warriors and powerful wild beasts that lived in the sea; whether it were female slaves or personal warriors, you could find all kinds of slaves in the Ten Sun Market. You could even find some merchandise that were contraband, such as dead bodies of real dragons, armours made from the scales of pure-blooded dragons, longbows made from dragon bones and tendons. It seemed that one could buy literally everything in this market.
Ying Yunpeng was a master elder, who was sent as administrator of the Ten Sun Market by the Ten Sun Country. Every type of trading in the Ten Sun Market was under his supervision. With his tough yet worldly strategies, the Ten Sun Market had been developing thrivingly, and creating great amounts of benefits for the Ten Sun Country and Ying Yunpeng himself every day.
On top of that Ying Yunpeng was also a master Magi tutor of the Magi Palace and a minister of the King of humankind. With all these titles, Ying Yunpeng could easily make the entire Ten Sun Market and a part of Pu Ban City shake with only a stamp of his foot against the ground.
The broad road that had a width equal to ten chariots moving side by side, and was paved with a thick layer of white sand. All this white sand had been shipped over from the North Beach of the Ten Sun Country. This sand was worth nothing back in the Eastern Wasteland, but after being shipped to Pu Ban City, a cart full of sand was worth one jade coin. In other words, the road was not paved with white sand but with piles of coins.
Stepping on the soft white sand, Ying Yunping was in an even better mood. He was smiling proudly from time to time and was nodding at shop owners on both sides of the road, who grinned and gave him a salute. Walking across the fifty miles long road, there was a town located at the end of the road. The town was squared with each side having the length of ten miles and was surrounded by a hundred zhang wide, flowing river. The city was surrounded by walls that had a height of three zhang and around these walls were teams of warriors, from the Ten Sun Country wearing leather armour and holding longbows, patrolling.
Ying Yunpeng walked into the town through a bridge. Wherever he passed walking, countless people of Ten Sun Country who lived in the town, bowed and saluted him. The smile of Ying Yunpeng grew bigger and bigger, and his head was held higher and higher. He even amiably touched the heads of a few kids, who were happily laughing and ran past him.
Looking at those kids, Ying Yunpeng thought proudly that the Ten Sun Country was indeed a country, which was marvelous and blessed. Even the children of the Ten Sun Country had rounder heads than the children of other clans, and looked much better.
He walked eastwards from the front gate of the town. The east-end of the town was a very broad residence area. Magnificent mansions, built with logs, lined orderly. Between those mansions were tall watchtowers, with each watchtower having elite Eastern Wasteland archers guarding the area in turns.
The silvery sound of birds singing came from the sky. Tens of rocs and eagles were hovering overhead the mansion area. Using these birds that had extremely sensitive eyes, not even an insect would be able to sneak into this area.
Ling Yunpeng walked into a mansion. Two pretty maidservants ran hurriedly over, kneeled politely on the ground and saluted him.
“Hm, I come for master Candle Dragon.” Ling Yunpeng sniffed slightly, the smile on his face had disappeared instantly. While speaking, he carelessly touched the tender face of one of the maidservants.
The two maidservant stood hurriedly back up, trotted and guided Ying Yunpeng deeply into the yard. Not long after, they stopped in front of a small building, which was completely surrounded by a metal;ic fence wall and watchtowers.
