Chapter 450: Entering the City

Chapter 450 Entering the city

Perhaps because of the existence of the other two sects in the Western Continent, there are legends about the dragon that are almost impossible to hear in the Western Continent.

However, this is also an extremely normal thing. The competition among sects for believers was the most intense. In the western continent, there are no other beliefs except the Sun God and the Underworld.

As the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, its prosperity is unquestionable. And the city entry tax, as one of the main taxes, is naturally indispensable.

"Dragon City?"

Li Yang looked up slightly, looked at the two fonts carved above the huge and majestic city gate ahead, and whispered it.

Although the Tang Dynasty's writing is completely different from the Western Continent, with Li Yang's current soul realm, it is only a matter of minutes to learn a foreign language. Relying on his strong comprehension and understanding, it only takes a look at the book to get some done. As one of the necessary preparations, Li Yang had already done it when Baizhan's City Lord's Mansion.

This city gate is not much larger than the city gate of Renos. If you compare it carefully, it is even smaller than that of the city gate. However, the city gate stands there, far apart, and Li Yang can feel a heavy and desolate majesty. Especially the word "Dragon" above the city gate. It is really a stencil and silver hook, and it is written in one go. The whole font seems to have come alive, just like a real dragon lying on the city gate, looking down at the endless stream of people below.

Looking at the word dragon, Li Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. Although it was just one word, Li Yang could clearly sense the powerful will it nurtured. Li Yang didn't know how many years the city of this city has existed, but it was probably countless times older than the city of Renos. It was such an ancient city that had existed for tens of millions of years, which actually allowed it to remain its charm to this day. This shows how terrifying the strength of the person who wrote the city name was.

Tens of millions of years later, the words left alone are enough to shock the powerful people of Li Yang. If they were a saint-level strongman, they would probably not be able to have such perverted power. Therefore, according to Li Yang's speculation, the person who wrote the word "Dragon City" was most likely an emperor-level strongman.

"There is a reason why the Tang Dynasty can prosper so much. It seems that the person named Longcheng is probably the first king of the Tang Dynasty. Only with the strength comparable to a divine beast can he achieve such a brilliant achievement." Li Yang whispered to himself, then smiled slightly, and then slowly walked towards the huge city gate like an ancient ferocious beast entrenched in front of him.

This Longcheng is the heart of the Tang Dynasty and is an absolute economic center. It has a population of tens of millions of people living in the world. There are tens of thousands of people who come and go every day.

At this moment, Li Yang was wrapped in a tide of people like a wave and slowly rushed towards the city gate. During the abortion, Li Yang discovered something strange, that was, there were more or less traces of mud on the people around him, and it looked quite dirty. Li Yang frowned slightly. Although he had no obsession with cleanliness, he didn't like to be rubbed against the mud by others.

Li Yang's thoughts moved and he had already made some moves quietly. On the surface, the crowd seemed to be crowded, but there was always a gap between Li Yang, which kept other people at a distance from him.

This situation naturally attracted a lot of shocking eyes, but it did not cause any riots. The people around Li Yang did not dare to look at him again except for looking at Li Yang with awe.

Even civilians have a lot of insights in those who can enter and exit Longcheng.

They all knew that the strong man who could do such a strange thing like Li Yang would need to be as strong as a king beast warrior at least. However, there are countless strong people in this Dragon City, and although there are few king-level strong men, they can be encountered once occasionally. So although people are a little surprised, they are not as shocked.

After all, in this Dragon City, even the King Beast Warrior must abide by the imperial laws and honestly pay taxes to enter the city.

As he gradually approached the city gate, Li Yang's brows slowly frowned. Although Li Yang had already calculated everything when he came, he simply ignored a trivial matter.

Li Yang saw from a distance that what the people in front of him took out when they paid the city tax was a strange knife-shaped metal that he had never seen before. It was small in size, only half a finger length, and the overall color was bronze.

"But I forgot that the Tang Dynasty has developed to this scale, how could it not have its own currency system?" Li Yang frowned and thought of a solution in his mind. The purpose of his coming this time was to save people, so naturally the lower the key, the better. The best result was to sneak into the Li family's people who were detained quietly, and then put them into the soul space as quickly as possible. Then he wanted to leave and stay as Li Yang wished.

But if you are caught because you cannot pay the city tax, you will have a boat capsized in the gutter. After all, how could there be no real masters guarding this place at this gate of Longcheng?

It is definitely not possible to break through hard. Not to mention whether you can break in. Even if you break in, your figure will be exposed, and it is inevitable to alert the enemy.

"Oh, it's a pity that my Void Ring was obtained in the Western Continent. Although there are various treasures in it, how could the currency of the Eastern Continent exist?" Li Yang was helpless, but the gods and ghosts used their thoughts to scan the area where objects were stored in the soul space.

Suddenly, Li Yang raised his eyebrows lightly, and a relaxed smile hung on the corner of his mouth. He quietly shrank his palm into his cuffs, and when he poked it out again the next moment, a small knife coin made of pure gold appeared in Li Yang's palm.

By distinguishing it by color, Li Yang also knew that the value of the sword coin he took out must be far greater than the bronze-colored sword coin.

Li Yang naturally never wanted to attract so much attention, but what was helpless was that although there were such sword coins in the Ring of Void, they were all golden. It seemed that in the eyes of the former owner, those sword coins with lower value had no collection value at all.

"Forget it, it's better than nothing." In my heart, I secretly despised the former master of the Ring of Void, and then Li Yang comforted himself in his heart.

There are dozens of charging points in front of the city gate. Although the speed of the crowd is slow, it is in order. The distance between Li Yang and the city gate is gradually narrowing.

Finally it was Li Yang's turn. When he arrived in front of the city gate, the soldier in charge of Li Yang was lowering his head and sorting out the scattered knives on the table in front of him. After throwing all the cloth bags, he reached out to Li Yang without raising his head, without any intention of saying anything.

That's right, these tax collectors have to take the coins from countless people every day. If they say a few words to everyone, they will probably have to waste their saliva. Anyway, the amount of taxes entering the city has long been known, and there is no need for him to spend that useless effort.

The tax collector suddenly felt something more in his palm. He could not count the shape he touched so many tens of thousands of times that he knew what it was as soon as he put his hand on. However, at this moment, he had a hint of doubt in his heart. This bronze sword coin was much heavier than an ordinary sword coin.

Before I could think too much, the body of the tax collector had already formed an instinct and subconsciously began to work like an assembly line.

Put away the knife coins, throw them into the bag, take out the tax documents, and give them to the taxpayer...

wrong!

The tax collector was suddenly stunned. The palm of his hand that was about to tear off the tax was settled there. After blinking his eyes, the man was shocked and quickly pierced his head into the cloth bag containing coins beside him. After some trouble, he finally crawled out, but at this time, there was a ball of golden light in his palms.

This person has been a tax collector for nearly ten years, but this is the first time he encountered this situation. Someone actually used the "golden knife" to pay the city tax? Isn't it like this for exchange for change? Isn't this intention to make things difficult for others?

Subconsciously glanced at Li Yang standing in front of him, who looked at him with a smile on his face. The tax collector frowned without any trace, and there was a little speculation in his heart.

As a tax collector, he read countless people every day. For the ability to observe people, they are indeed a well-deserved first-class state.

The young man in front of him was wearing a black long gown, and the fabric didn't look very high-end. If it sounds a little ugly, he would basically be considered a street stall product.

However, in the other party, there is a powerful aura that is difficult to be strict. Although it is very obscure, it is definitely different from ordinary people. I can still feel a little bit of it.

The tax collector glanced slightly, and then he became more and more sure of his speculation.

Although the other party's shoes were extremely ordinary, and they were even far from the same pair as the ones they had on their feet, the most important thing was that the shoes were untainted and outrageously clean.

How is this possible? The other party came outside the city. A few days ago, there was a heavy rain that had not been encountered in several years. The road was muddy. How could his shoes be so clean? As for riding in a beast car, it is absolutely impossible.

There is only one main road leading to the east gate of Longcheng. However, because the heavy rain a few days ago was too severe, the mountain collapsed, and a section of road ten miles away from Longcheng had been completely blocked. Both beast chariots and beasts could not pass.

If the army had not cleared quickly and cleared out several narrow passages in time, pedestrians could barely lean over and pass through, I am afraid that the east gate of Longcheng would not have to be opened at this moment. However, in order to ensure that the power of the passage would not collapse again, it was extremely narrow, which also explains why the people in front of the city gate were covered in mud, as if the Beggars' Sect was siegeing the city.
