Chapter 1059: Secret Visit to Mengya City

Jiangtan City in Jiangtan County has changed a lot compared to eight years ago.

Walking on the street and looking at the people around me, they are full of energy and it seems that they have been living a good life in recent years.

After staying for half an hour, Weilin left Jiangtan City directly and prepared to go to Mengya County, the poorest place in Jiangtan County.

The true governing level of an archon cannot be seen from the rich land.

Only by visiting the poorest places can one know the true level of Zelia's governing ability.

Before entering Mengya City, Weilin hid his true face, pretended to be an adventurer, and walked into the city.

Thanks to Baird's contributions, his face is well-known in Qixing Territory.

As they lined up to enter the city, Weilin secretly observed the soldiers' behavior.

"Outsiders?"

The officer guarding the city gate looked at Weilin's attire and asked.

Weilin nodded and said, "Yes."

The officer walked around Verin, examined him, and said, "According to the order of Archon Zeliya, outsiders need to pay three copper coins to enter the town."

Upon seeing this, Weilin took out a silver coin from his space ring and handed it to the officer.

"Please wait a moment."

The officer took the silver coins and went into the wooden house next door.

While waiting, Weilin stood aside and let the people behind him go into the city first.

According to Weilin's observation, local residents only need to show their wooden ID cards to enter Mengya City and do not need to pay an entry fee.

A few minutes later, the officer came to Weilin with a cloth bag and a wooden sign, handed the things to him, and said, "Two copper coins for each cloth bag. There are ninety-five copper coins in it. You can count them in front of me."

"This wooden sign is a temporary stay certificate. If you lose it or are caught by the sheriff, you can come to the East City Gate to find me and I will issue you a certificate."

"Please remember, for theft, the hand will be cut off; for selling children, the person will be burned at the stake; for murder, if it is in self-defense, if it is innocent, if it is done with malice, the person will be beheaded; ..."

A few minutes later, after the officer explained the thirteen important rules, he let Weilin into the city.

Passing through the city gate and looking at the bustling streets, Weilin was quickly attracted by the various stalls around him.

Weilin came to a stall set up by a man in linen, squatted down, picked up a spotted fruit, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Looking at Weilin, the middle-aged man forced a smile on his face and explained, "This is a howling tooth fruit, one copper coin each."

“Is it a local specialty?”

"Yes..." The middle-aged man hesitated, but in order to sell the goods, he bravely said, "It was discovered by the Archon and given to us to plant in the villages under Mengya County. Every early spring, we will take away the ones without spots at the price of two copper coins each, and we will only take 100."

"why is that?"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and did not answer Weilin's question.

Seeing this, Weilin did not ask any more questions. He took out six copper coins from his cloth bag and handed them to the middle-aged man in front of him, saying, "Give me six."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man took out a leaf from under the linen, selected six howling tooth fruits of better quality and placed them in the center of the leaf, wrapped it up, handed it to Weilin, and then put the copper coins away.

Picking up his own howling tooth fruit, Weilin left the stall.

After walking a few steps, driven by curiosity, Weilin opened the package, took out a howling tooth fruit, rubbed it on his body, and took a bite.

After chewing it for a few times, I felt that there was no taste.

"Wei Lin, let me have a taste too."

Cecilia looked at the half Howling Tooth Fruit in Weilin's hand and spoke.

Seeing this, Weilin put half a howling tooth fruit to Cecilia's mouth.

Looking at the place bitten by her contractor, Cecilia did not feel disgusted. She took a light bite, chewed it a few times, and an expression of disgust instantly appeared on her face.

"Unappetizing."

Upon hearing this, Weilin nodded and agreed, "It's indeed not very delicious."

He threw all the howling tooth fruits in his hand into his mouth, chewed them, and swallowed them. Then he looked at the remaining five howling tooth fruits and thought about what to do with them.

It seems a bit inappropriate to just throw it away.

Holding it in my hand all the time, it seems to take up some space.

Suddenly, Weilin felt a pair of longing eyes staring at him.

Looking to the right, he saw a young man standing at the entrance of the alley, looking at Weilin pitifully.

Without thinking too much, Weilin walked towards the young man.

The boy was startled when he saw the person coming and ran towards the alley.

Entering the alley, turning left and right, Weilin came to a dilapidated house.

"Where are you going again, little brat?"

"I'm going to beat you to death."

Hearing the voice coming from inside, Weilin couldn't help but frown.

After a quick look, I could see a drunkard hitting the boy's legs with a wooden stick as thick as his arm. The boy was tough and didn't say a word when he was beaten.

Cecilia looked at Weilin and asked, "Weilin, do you want to help?"

"Let's go and see what's going on."

Pushing open the door, Weilin walked straight in.

Hearing the noise, the drunkard stopped what he was doing and stared at Weilin who came in. He was stunned for a moment and then cursed: "You..."

With just a glance from Weilin, the drunkard collapsed on the ground with a look of horror. He wanted to speak, but found that he could not make any sound.

The young man looked at his father with indifference in his eyes, and he had no intention of going forward to help him.

"come over."

Hearing this, the boy walked over without hesitation.

"He is your father."

"Yes."

"Do you want to change things?"

"think."

After receiving an affirmative answer from the other party, Weilin waved his hand and shot a green light into the man's body, shattering all his memories related to the boy.

The extreme pain made the middle-aged man roll on the ground, but no sound came out of his mouth.

After doing all this, Weilin took out three books from his space ring, handed them to the boy, and said, "Go to the Lord's Mansion of Jiangtaen City, give these three books to Archon Zelia, then go to the army and live a decent life."

"As for this man, he has no memory of you. From now on, you are strangers."

After he finished speaking, Weilin took out a piece of paper, wrote a line of words on it, and then left a force behind. He then folded it up and handed it to the boy, saying, "If you encounter a guard blocking your way, give this to him."

"By the way, take this with you and live the life you want."

After handing the five Howling Tooth Fruits to the boy, Weilin turned and left.

After an inspection, I visited the area governed by Zefrin and then headed to the gray fog space.

Looking at the other person's departing back, the boy turned to look at the middle-aged man with snot and tears mixed together, went into the house, packed up all the things left by his mother, picked up his bag, and left this "home" without any reluctance.

He wants to join the army and live the life he wants.
