Chapter 4246 Meeting the City Lord
The middle-aged man paused for a moment and then added, "Every visitor is a guest, since you"ve arrived at our Nightless City, please follow me to meet our City Lord!"
"Thank you." Feng Jiu said as she returned the salute and followed him along towards the city.
Looking at that team led by that middle-aged man turning to the left, Feng Jiu"s heart slightly moved, looking at the middle-aged man leading the way and asked, "My name is Feng Jiu, I still don"t know what Master"s name is?"
"Ha ha, my name is Gu Muyan, this year I"m almost two hundred and sixty-four years old, Young Miss Feng can just call me Elder Yan." The middle-aged man said, his voice was loud, his pace was steady, and he talked with Feng Jiu with a smile on his face.
"Our Nightless City has not had any outsiders come for many years, you are all our rare guests."
Feng Jiu chatted with him while watching some people in the city put away the black cloths surrounding the houses, so she asked, "Why do all the people in this city use black cloths to surround the houses? Is it to block the sun?"
"That"s right, here, we don"t have any night and no one can stand it if they are constantly exposed to the bright sun, therefore, we count the time instead. Every time when it"s time to rest at night, we in this city use black cloth to cover up to block the sun, in this way, the effect of the night can be achieved."
Gu Muyan laughed and said, "Dark coloured clothes absorb more of the sun, trapping more heat for a long period of time. That"s why, the people of our city, all of them, love to wear white clothes, white clothes are cooler than any other colours worn on the body."
Feng Jiu nodded and asked, "Then what did those people who just left the city go to do? We came all the way outside without seeing an oasis or any other towns, where are they going?"
"As I said earlier, we are a lone city here, there is only this one city here for hundreds of miles, so you can"t see any other towns except this one here, as for the team that left the city, it"s because they"re going to look for a water source, the water source in our city is getting smaller and smaller, so we can only go to look for a new water source again. "
He said, shaking his head with a sigh, "But this new water source is not easy to find! Just like Young Miss Feng said earlier, this place is a place where not an inch of gra.s.s grows and there is nothing, so the water source is even more scarce and precious."
Feng Jiu followed him all the way as he chatted, and also roughly mapped things out, until, when they arrived at the City Lord"s Manor, they were invited into the hall to sit, while the middle-aged man retreated first.
Not long after, an old man wearing white robes walked in, the middle-aged man followed behind him and introduced Feng Jiu to him, and then said to Feng Jiu: "This is the City Lord of our Nightless City."
When the old man came in, on Feng Jiu"s side, none of them were moving and sizing up the City Lord. Similarly, the old man was also not moving and sizing up the several of them.
Looking at Feng Jiu several people, the more the old man looked at them, the more he was shocked, and he also understood why these several people from out of town would be brought to him.
"Ha ha, I"ve already heard Elder Yan talk about a few people, however, a few people shouldn"t be pa.s.sing through here, right?" The old man smiled and walked in, came to the main seat and sat down, his eyes looking at Feng Jiu several people.
Feng Jiu smiled, then she knew that what she said earlier they sensed something wrong coming, so she said, "Actually, to say more precisely, we can be considered pa.s.sing through, although it can"t be said that"s considered pa.s.sing through, after all, we arrived here due to an accident."
