Chapter 493 - THE CHANGES OF THE WORLD (1) (1/2)
SILHAE
It is near the end of winter. In some places of Silhae, spring air could already be felt. Seed have taken roots and vegetation begins to grow all over the land.
The weather is warmer as animals wake from their hibernation, with their newborns
In some places the snow melted and cause flooding round certain waterways. In the end of this winter someone enter the city of Pocheon.
Pocheon is a large city south of the Five Finger Mountain.
The city is close to the border of Zhou and it is also one of the city where there is large presence of martial artist.
As the gate was opened, a man rides inside the city before leaving his horses at the gate stable.
He and his companion enter the city and prepares themselves for their journey.
Even though winter is leaving and spring is about to come, the cold is still there so the streets are not overly overcrowded.
But this man and his companion felt this kind of cold is quite refreshing. They come from Beiyuan so this cold is nothing to them. And they are also a martial artist.
This person is wearing a thick fur of a wolf with lean body. But while his body is lean, he is muscly. His entire muscle is tight and pack power.
His face is a little boyish and even look a little like a girl face, with rosy cheek and smooth features but that is his one of his ways to fool people.
If one underestimates him because of his appearance, then surely by the end of it, they would be regretful.
He has long black hair that reaches his neck but tied neatly.
The man beside him wears a thick black robe with a sword strapped on his left hip. His face is the opposite of that boyish looking man.
His face is fierce and his eyes glared at people like an unsheathed saber. His hair is cut short looking like a disciplined man
The lean man is Tukhla and the other person his companion, Ulhak.
They finally arrived at Silhae. They did not stop at the royal city of Silhae. Instead they kept going to Pocheon because is it closer
'This city is quite prosperous' Ulhak said nodding his head. Tukhla nodded. He saw a few stall opened selling hot buns.
He went to one of those stall and bought a few as he shared with Ulhak.
'Let us go to the restaurant and see if there is any news worth listening'
'How about our supplies, Tukhla? You are not forgetting our task are you?” Ulhak asked.
'Don't worry. They still ae not opening their shops. We should warm ourselves first with some of the delicacies of Silhae.
Ulhak reluctantly agreed as Tukhla brought him to one of the largest restaurant in Pocheon.
The restaurant is called the One Thousand Taste.
The last time Tukhla went to Pocheon he found this place and he fell in love with its mutton hop. They made it a little bit different than the people of Beiyuan
They saw a large three storied building on the busiest street of the city, and quickly enter the restaurant.
Usually there would be greeters in front of the entrance but since it is still winter, no one would come out and tries to attract customer in deadly cold.
When they enter the could quickly felt warm and the chatter of people filled the buildings. They could see waiter taking orders, servers serving plates and bowl and all kind of interactions.
It was full of life and people. Tukhla smiles seeing this kind of city life. He takes a seat at one of the empty table.
Not before long, a waiter came and ask him what he would like. He orders his favorite mutton chop and a tea.
As he was waiting for his food, he looks around him. He could see that while many of the people here are normal people, there is a lot of martial artist.
