Chapter 320: Thrilling Dream

Upon entering the city, the architecture style changed to match the original features of Inner Mongolia’s capital city, filled with countless yurts.

However, these were not the most primitive yurts made of tents but built with cement, giving Zhang Mu a sense of reunion that he hadn’t felt in a long time.

Although Hachikuju tried to ensure the well-being of every citizen, the wealth gap was evident, especially in the yurts.

The crowded, damp and small area should be where ordinary people and low-level evolved individuals with awakening abilities lived.

In the distance, Zhang Mu saw a luxurious yurt facing north and basking in the sunlight. It almost blocked out all the sunshine, leaving regular folks’ homes in the shadows.

After the disbandment order for the thousand cavalry at Hachikuju, they dismounted one by one, leading their precious war horses towards their own homes.

Most of these luxurious yurts were built for the cavalry at Hachikuju.

This was for the best, as the most dangerous frontline should receive the best rest and treatment, since they sacrificed the most for this city.

True equality, in fact, is the greatest injustice in the world.

Without corrupt leaders, it is the greatest responsibility towards the people.

Zhang Mu felt comfortable seeing this gathering style, and he couldn’t help but admire Hachikuju in his heart.

Once all the cavalry had returned to their homes, only Hachikuju and Zhang Mu Yuan Rui on the back of Obsidian Beetle were left.

Leading the two of them, Hachikuju guided them to a yurt near the center, handing a giant axe to two wrestlers who had been waiting for a long time.

The two strong men had lifted the huge axe many times before, but when they lifted it together, it still looked very difficult for them, even though they were evolvers with extreme strength awakening abilities.

After stabilizing their hands, they slowly placed the huge axe into Hachikuju’s yurt.

Hachikuju pointed to a slightly smaller yurt nearby and said with a smile, “Zhang Mu brothers, my part of the city doesn’t have much entertainment facilities for accommodation. The main city has lodging facilities built by your merchants for resting. Unfortunately, you two will have to stay with me for the night.”

There are no empty yurts here. The houses are built based on the number of people to avoid waste.

This smaller one was insisted on being built for me, but I usually don’t use it.

I originally had a bed in the war council room and mostly slept there. You two can stay in my room, it’s no trouble.”

Hachikuju is straightforward, a city leader who even sleeps in the war council room.

Zhang Mu quickly declined, saying, “It’s not appropriate, Brother Hachikuju. It’s not right for a host to give up their room for guests. We have military tents, we can easily manage for a night outside.”

Seeing Zhang Mu decline, Hachikuju glared angrily and said, pretending to be upset, “Zhang Mu brothers, it’s unheard of for our Mongolian people to let distant guests stay in their own tents. If this gets out, won’t everyone laugh at me, Hachikuju?

“Are the Zhang Mu brothers rejecting my small and simple room, or are they rejecting the house where Hachikuju used to live?”

Seeing Hachikuju looking so serious yet adorable, Zhang Mu quickly said, “Brother Hachikuju, please don’t say that, it really upsets me, Zhang Mu.”

“Alright, I won’t say anything more, can’t I live here?”

“Agreed!”

Hachikuju’s expression finally softened, he patted Zhang Mu on the shoulder and said, “Zhang Mu brother, you must be tired too, let’s go rest.”

Haha, my Ejin Horo Banner Sub-city may not be as grand as the capital, but we do have a famous big restaurant.

The chef there is really skilled, and also an evolver. Even though the dishes are unique, they taste really good.

Zhang Mu brother, just wait for me to call you when it’s time to feast.

However, the meal isn’t cheap, you’ll have to foot the bill, little wealthy one.”

“No problem, let’s take a break and wait for a message from Big Brother Hachikuju.”

Zhang Mu smiled naturally, waved goodbye to Hachikuju, and led Yuan Rui into a nearby side room.

Zhang Mu didn’t know about the other villagers, but Hachikuju’s yurt was truly exquisite. He didn’t mind, but that didn’t mean the people below wouldn’t try to please him.

After stepping inside, he raised the curtains, allowing in excellent light, and capturing a view of the grassland outside where the herd of warhorses grazed.

Within the city, there was a grassland reserved for resting the mutated warhorse herd when they were not on duty, leaving behind this peaceful natural scenery.

Yuan Rui, who had never been to the grassland before, couldn’t wait to grab a chair and sit by the large glass window, resting her chin on her hands, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the beautiful view outside.

What Hachikuju said was true, the bed looked unused, but the room was tidy. Even if Hachikuju didn’t stay, someone must come regularly to clean.

Zhang Mu lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to reflect. Unlike Yuan Rui, who didn’t experience anything after getting drunk, the situations he faced were too complicated to ignore.

The events that took place in Li Village vividly replayed in Zhang Mu’s mind, one by one.

Not scared, Zhang Mu was going through everything he encountered, looking for connected clues, and accessing his memories!

It was really strange, the mention of the giant ginseng made him extremely cautious, what exactly is targeting the Era Sub-merchant, is it just them or the Era Store behind them.

Is it Grave Blood?

He himself is an Era Sub-merchant, could he have discovered the secret of the Era Merchant Ring?

If so, why does the Era Sub-merchant hanging from the giant ginseng still have a broken Era Merchant Ring on their hand?

If the Era Merchant Ring was not absorbed by other Era Sub-merchants at the time of the rupture, then it would be completely scrapped, so what is the person behind it really after?

What are they really after!

Zhang Mu, who couldn’t find any clues, repeatedly sorted through every detail in his memory, but to no avail.

Already having a sleepless night, plus the damage to the body from the effects of the drug, Zhang Mu strained his brain too much and fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, he faintly saw a damaged face smiling at him.

One face, two faces… countless faces…

Each face was different, some old, some young, some male, some female, surrounding Zhang Mu closely.

They did nothing, just eerily smiling at him.

Zhang Mu watched coldly, without any fear.

Even at that moment, he was searching for details on those faces.

In a situation where anyone would panic, he found a common feature among all the faces, they were all, more or less, damaged.

Not a single one was whole.
