Chapter 141 The King of the Mountain's Cheap Lady (1)

In the refreshing and cool morning, the tea house has opened to welcome guests.

The teahouse is an elliptical ring-shaped main body with an empty center. A large square table and single chairs are placed on the first floor, and the surrounding circle is filled with tables and chairs for guests to drink tea and listen to books.

Although it was early in the morning, more than half of the tea customers were already seated upstairs and downstairs, and people continued to come in at the door until there were no seats left, and many people stood in the corners.

The guys shuttled back and forth among the crowd, busy serving tea and fruit snacks.

This is the most famous teahouse in Laicheng. Every day, before the scorching sun begins, people from the inner three floors and the outer three floors are already surrounded.

Not only for tea, but also for listening to books.

No, in the middle of the first floor, the storyteller has already started his day's work.

The storyteller is an old man who is nearly seventy years old, and he looks like he has a lot of knowledge.At the moment, he is briefly describing the history of Lae City, which is his necessary opening statement every day.

Despite listening to it countless times, the tea drinkers are still full of interest, and every time they hear it, they look proud.

Speaking of Lai City, it is just a small county town with a half-sized land, and the buildings are also ancient and simple. Looking at the entire Central Continent, the four countries are full of power, and there are more luxurious cities than this.

However, it is such a small county, but it is well-known in Central Continent, and everyone knows it.

There are reasons for this. There are two most important points. First, it is a city without a country. Second, it is rich in minerals and resources, among which gold mines are the most important.

It is precisely because of this rich gold vein that the people of Laicheng can live in such comfort and ease, without any trace of the busyness and vicissitudes of running for a living.

Such a city, no matter what era it is, is a battleground for the monarchs of all countries.

But it is a city without a country.

The so-called city without a country refers to a city that is not ruled by any country.This is the only place in Central Continent.

It's not that countries don't want to take this piece of fat, but that they can't eat it.

This is closely related to Lae's geographical location and history.

Lai City is located at the junction of the four countries, surrounded by mountains and steep terrain.The county seat and mines are located in the mountains, easy to defend but difficult to attack.Moreover, there are many obstacles in the mountains, and there are also traps. If you are not a Laicheng person who is familiar with the way, once you enter, you will never return.

Such a favorable location and friendly people seem to turn Laicheng into a paradise isolated from the world.

This is another major feature of Lai City. We only hear its name but not see its city.Few people have seen its full view, only seeing it looming among the misty mountains and forests, like a fairy palace.

This has achieved another good name of Lai City, Fairy City.

Lai City's obsessive mechanism has a lot of background.

According to legend, hundreds of years ago, when the nations were just taking shape, the whole continent was mostly unclaimed land. Lai City was not yet built at that time, and this place was called Laishan.

Laishan is also a land of no man, and it is the most remote and barren place.

All these changes are due to the arrival of one person, Lu Xinghai, the founder of this city.

As for Lu Xinghai, just by hearing his name, you can tell that he is a person with lofty aspirations.In the turbulent era at that time, he was a world-renowned talent.

He was born in a wealthy family in the Dongli Kingdom, which is famous for its Qimen Dunjia and mechanism skills.

Lu Xinghai is a once-in-a-century genius in the family. He has already mastered the most exquisite technology in the family at a young age, and he is the best.

The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them.His ability became the culprit of his miserable life.

At that time, there were far more than four countries in the Central Continent, and it was the time when all the countries were expanding their territories, and all talents with a skill stood in line one after another, not to mention a shocking talent like Lu Xinghai. The object of drawing together.

Lu Xinghai was obsessed with the study of strange arts and did not want to get involved in wars and disputes.In his view, the art he learned is to protect the people he wants to protect, not to become a butcher knife for fame and fortune.

But things in the world can't be as you wish.

After being rejected, the monarchs of various countries sent killers to take his life one after another. Since they could not use it for themselves, they naturally had to get rid of him and then quickly.

The Lu family was implicated, and some impure people in the clan colluded with the outside world. The clan members were brutally persecuted, many died and some fled, and a large family suddenly collapsed.

Lu Xinghai was also forced to embark on an endless escape.He used the skills he learned to escape from being chased again and again. He fled without any purpose until he escaped to Laishan.

The terrain of Laishan Mountain is dangerous, and Lu Xinghai cleverly used the terrain to create a maze and set up traps. The killers soon got lost in the mountains and forests, and stayed here forever.

Years of hiding and fleeing have exhausted him, and even his favorite strange art research has been forced to suspend.He has been trying to find a suitable place to continue his research, but he can't find it.

Until he discovered Laishan.He took a fancy to the unpredictable advantages of this mountain forest, which is easy to defend, difficult to attack, and accidentally discovered the rich mineral veins here.In addition to a stable environment, the research of mechanism art is also inseparable from the support of money, and Laishan has both.

So, he decided to hide here and concentrate on research.

In order to survive here better, he integrated into the life of local mountain people.The mountain people are isolated from the world, simple in mind, warm and simple, and provide him with a lot of convenience in life.

In return, Lu Xinghai took the initiative to teach them the knowledge and technology used by the outside world, leading them to improve the backward life in the mountains.

The first of these is to build stronger and more solid houses.

Lu Xinghai skillfully applied the technique of mechanisms to house construction, and designed a house that integrates living, convenience and defense.

Each house has the same style and is densely located. This is the original form of Lae City.

The mountain people were grateful for Lu Xinghai's dedication and made him the city lord of the city.

If you are in his position, you will find something to do.

In order to protect the peace of the city, Lu Xinghai led the people to set up obstacles around Laishan, full of traps and organs, to prevent foreign enemies from invading.

In order to further improve the lives of the people and at the same time obtain the materials needed for daily research, he led the people to mine minerals and trade with surrounding areas.

He knew that when the mines were exhausted, he was also afraid that the life of getting rich would corrupt the hearts of the people, so he restricted mining and only maintained a relatively stable standard of living.

He knew that Laishan's wealth would be discovered sooner or later, and he could not guard this city forever. In order for the people in the city to continue to live a carefree life without being violated, someone must take his place and continue to guard this pure land.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to write what he had learned all his life in writing, and selected people with high understanding and pure character from the city to accept as successors and teach them.

Lai City has achieved its current status under the development and protection of generations of city lords.

After the history of Lai City was finished, the storyteller stopped talking in a timely manner, leaving time for everyone to ponder.

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, counted the time, and when it was almost time, he opened his mouth and brought the topic to the point of today.

"After talking about the history of Lae City, let's talk about the celebrities in Lae City."

"Speaking of people who are well-known in Lai City, do you know who they are?"

Although the storytelling is given by the storyteller, if there is no interaction, it will inevitably be blunt and boring.The storyteller is a veteran in this field and is well versed in this way. From time to time, he will interact with tea customers a little bit, which is one of the reasons why the teahouse is full of guests.
