Fighting Against the Wind begins with the Dragon Flame

Chapter 8: Departure - Black Rock City
The next day, early in the morning.

The sun began to rise, the strong winds subsided, the light returned to the earth, and Shimo City became lively as people left the city.

squeak~

The wooden door was pushed open, Lin Yang walked out of the yard, looked around, and then strode towards the city guard camp.

While passing through the market, he purchased some supplies to replenish his storage ring. Since he had two high-quality storage rings to store supplies, Lin Yang's purchase volume was quite large.

Large-scale transactions always attract attention. When Lin Yang began to store large amounts of supplies into the storage ring, the originally noisy market suddenly became quiet.

"Humph, there are always some people who don't know how to live or die."

Feeling the burning gazes of the people around him, Lin Yang snorted coldly, took out the badge of the city guards and put it on his chest, which immediately cooled down the active mind of the covetous person and made him look away.

Who the hell dares to rob the city guards in front of the city guard camp? And who knows if this is a sting operation. It's not the first time that the Stone Desert City Guards have done this.

The ring is very precious, but a fighter can afford it if he grits his teeth. Those who covet Lin Yang's ring are just a group of fighters, and the patrol teams in the market can easily suppress them, so naturally no one dares to take the risk.

After putting all the supplies into the storage ring, Lin Yang turned around and left the market without looking back.

After crossing several streets and entering the military camp, Lin Yang soon arrived at the flight transportation department inside the military camp.

On the huge square, a dozen flying birds and beasts of various sizes were having their fur carefully groomed. A huge brush was sliding across their body surface, and faint sounds of metal friction and collision could be heard.

This bird is called the Armored Bird. It is a flying magical beast. When it reaches adulthood, it can grow into a third-level magical beast. It has a gentle temperament, is easy to tame, and is extremely rare.

Only border military camps like Shimo City would be equipped with so many. If it were a garrison in a city within the Gama Empire, it would generally only be equipped with one, which was used exclusively for transfer when delivering messages across the border.

After taking out the transfer order given by Zhou Cheng and handing it to the person in charge, Lin Yang was soon brought to one of the smaller second-level armored birds. This time Lin Yang was traveling alone, so naturally he would not need those large third-level armored birds.

"It's troublesome."

After saying hello to the trainer on the armored bird, Lin Yang tapped the ground with his toes, jumped a few times, and landed on the back of the armored bird, tying the straps around himself.

The trainer blew a whistle, and the huge armored bird under him slowly flapped its wings. Wisps of wind energy quickly gathered and swirled under its body, carrying its huge body up into the air.

"唳~"

With a loud and sharp cry, the flying monster suddenly soared into the sky under the command of the trainer, and quickly flew towards the Monster Mountain Range in the west of Shimo City.

The huge wind pressure was offset by the wind energy around the Armored Bird, and the scenery on the ground quickly changed and shrank.

The wind whistled in his ears and Lin Yang felt a little curious as he watched the clouds passing by.

It’s not like I haven’t flown on an airplane in my previous life, but this is the first time I’ve experienced the feeling of my physical body traveling through the clouds.

"I don't know if I can go back."

Thinking of this, Lin Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head, throwing away the messy thoughts from his head. He sat cross-legged, let his mind slowly sink into his body, and entered a state of cultivation.

Shimo City is not far from the Monster Mountain Range, and Lin Yang is riding a second-level flying monster.

So just two and a half days later, the outline of a magnificent city appeared in sight. This was the super-large city located at the junction of the Monster Mountains and the Tagor Desert - Black Rock City.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the city wall made of thick black rock exudes a faint red glow. This special material is enough to withstand the full-force bombardment of a Dou Wang strongman.

Of course, Dou Wang powerhouses don't have to compete with the city walls, the main thing is to resist attacks below Dou Wang. This level of fortifications is only equipped in Black Rock City in the entire eastern border area, not even Stone Desert City has it.

The reason why Black Rock City is so special is that it has a pharmacist guild that is fully staffed with three fourth-grade pharmacists.

When the war breaks out with the Snake People, Black Rock City will allocate and command supplies for the entire area, including Stone Desert City.

The armored bird flew straight over the city wall and headed towards the military camp. Its ever-decreasing flying altitude caused a commotion among the crowd below. Some people even wanted to attack, but were immediately stopped by the city guards on duty on the wall.

The snake people have not made any moves for decades. Without war, the armored birds have naturally not been deployed frequently, causing many people to forget about this flying monster beast that is specifically used by the military.

Two or three quarters of an hour later, Lin Yang walked out of the military camp, first found a hotel near the military camp, checked in, and had a good rest for the night.

The next day, the first rays of morning light had just spread across the earth.

Lin Yang left the hotel early, walked through the bustling streets, and headed towards the largest market in Black Rock City.

Black Rock City is indeed one of the top cities in the Gama Empire. Although the sun is just rising and the environment is still a little dim, the streets are still bustling and bustling with people.

From time to time, patrols of the city guards would pass by, and the crisp sound of their armor colliding with each other was like a morning bell, alerting the people around them.

Walking quickly, we soon arrived at the market. There were several streets crisscrossing each other. Although it was early in the morning, most of the shops were already open for business.

At the intersection of several streets, there stands a magnificent building that occupies a vast area, looks extremely large, and is shaped like a medicine cauldron. It is the Alchemist Guild of Black Rock City.

This Alchemist Guild has three fourth-grade alchemists on duty, and its level is very high. In the system of the Alchemist Guild of the Jia Ma Empire, it is second only to the headquarters in the imperial capital.

Lin Yang's purpose of coming here is to obtain a basic inheritance of a pharmacist.

He had asked Zhou Cheng to help him detect that his attribute was fire with wood, which gave him the basic conditions to become an alchemist.

Like Xiao Yan, he also possessed a powerful soul force. In the original novel, with Xiao Yan's soul force, there was basically no threshold for him to become a seventh-rank alchemist. He thought that he was about the same.

With such favorable conditions, it would be a waste of talent not to try to become an alchemist.

Shaking his head to dispel the thoughts in his mind, Lin Yang walked towards the gate of the Alchemist Guild.

As soon as he approached, two guards at the door who had been watching him for a long time reached out to stop him, looked up and down at Lin Yang, and said:

"Little brother, this is the Alchemist Guild. Do you want to go in by yourself? Do you have a letter of introduction from your instructor?"

"Two brothers, I'm here to purchase the basic alchemist inheritance. Please help inform them."

Lin Yang bowed to the two of them and spoke politely.

The badges on the chests of the two guards had a white crescent moon painted on them, and around the crescent moon there were a few golden stars. They were obviously two fighting masters.

The fact that they can employ fighting masters to guard the door shows that the Alchemist Guild is truly wealthy and powerful.

Hearing this, the two fighting master guards looked at each other, and one of them said:

"Then wait a moment, I'll go inform them and take you in."

The guard said, then turned and walked towards the door.
