Early June 1267, the time of sword and axe.

It was spring when he arrived and it was summer when he left. After staying in Zawada Village for three and a half months, Lu Qi finally embarked on a journey to find the "White Wolf" Geralt.

His first stop was not Vizima, the capital of the Temerian Kingdom, but the city of Maribo, which was only 42 miles away from Zawada Village.

Maribor is the second largest city in the Kingdom of Temeria and the capital of the Principality of Maribor.

The transportation here is convenient, and passing ships of all sizes come and go in and out of the port, creating a prosperous scene with smooth waterways.

Along the main road, a small business group consisting of three cargo carriages slowly passed through a tall city gate and entered the city along with the civilians entering the city.

"Maribo is here!"

Following the shout from the guard captain of the merchant group, everyone in the merchant group breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was only two days' journey, everyone was still very energetic along the way and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

On the one hand, in order to be on guard against bandits and monsters that may appear at any time, on the other hand, in order to prepare for military conflicts that may break out at any time, we must be prepared to protect our property.

According to travelers passing by on the road, spies from the southern Nilfgaardians have appeared in the Dol Angra area in eastern Maribor many times. The pace of war seems to be slowly approaching...

The three carriages followed the stone road in the city and stopped in front of the warehouse where the business group was located.

On the last cargo carriage, a figure shrouded in a black cloak was sitting next to the cargo, motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.

At this time, a merchant guard wearing light leather armor and carrying a long sword at his waist came to the carriage and reached out to pat the shoulder of the black cloak.

"Hey? Alex? We're here."

Hearing this, a pair of black leather gloves stretched out from the cloak, and then he took off the hood, revealing a head of black hair tied with a straw rope, and a young face with yellow skin.

It was Lu Qi who came from Zawada Village!

"Thanks for the reminder, John..."

Nodding to the guards, Lu Qi jumped off the carriage. His dark brown boots clicked on the stone floor with a "pop" sound.

Looking at the members of the business group who were unloading and moving goods into the warehouse, Lu Qi came to the leader of the caravan. After expressing his gratitude, he turned and left.

Standing on the street, looking at the busy and noisy scene in front of him, Lu Qi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth? His eyes were full of excitement and curiosity about unknown things:

"Is this a medieval city? I love it..."

While muttering, he casually pulled his cloak to cover up the long sword tied to his waist, and then started his journey to visit Maribo...

...

Maribor, like Vizima, was built on the basis of the ancient elven city. It is the largest city in the southern part of the entire Kingdom of Temeria.

In addition, it is located in the central transportation hub of the kingdom. Business groups and tourists from the north and south will choose to make some repairs here. The daily flow of people coming and going is much greater than the permanent resident population.

Dwarves, halflings, humans, elves and other different racial groups all live in harmony in this bustling city.

Perhaps because of this, although the yellow-skinned Lu Qi looked different, the people of Maribo who had seen the world only stayed on him for half a second before losing interest.

Following the road paved with stone bricks, Lu Qi soon arrived at the large square in the center of the city.

In an instant, the sounds of vendors shouting and customers bargaining came to his ears, making Lu Qi deeply feel the strong atmosphere of medieval commercial culture.

Hotels, barber shops, blacksmith workshops, spice shops, hardware stores, banks, and all kinds of shops and facilities are all available in this city, which is dizzying for everyone.

After passing through the bustling square, Lu Qi bought some preserved fruits from the Middle Ages and continued to explore the city while eating snacks.

When Lu Qi was far away from the city center and came to a relatively quiet area on the east side of the city, a scantily clad woman with brown hair who pulled down the neckline of her long skirt to reveal a large patch of snow-white hair came up to her with a swaying enchanting figure:

"Hey honey, you look like you need to relax..."

After saying that, the other party's hand touched Lu Qi's chest.

Lu Qi immediately reacted to the other party's attire and behavior, subconsciously separated the other party's hand, smiled slightly, and refused:

"Sorry, I'm very relaxed."

"up to you."

Seeing that Lu Qi had no intention of having fun together, the prostitute was very professional and did not continue to pester her. She just curled her lips, put her hands on her hips again, and walked away again.

After a small interlude, Lu Qi was about to take a step forward when his ears suddenly twitched slightly.

A noteworthy conversation came to my ears from the mouths of two civilians passing by in a hurry:

"Hurry! The fighting match is about to start in a while. I don't want to miss it."

"I heard that many good fighters will come to participate in the competition today..."

"I wonder if there is still room in the arena..."

Fighting match? Fighting master? Arena?!

A few keywords reminded Lu Qi of a beautiful memory when he once dominated London's underground boxing scene.

I, Master Lu, am familiar with boxing!

When he thought of [Wing Chun Level 4], which had not improved at all for a long time, Lu Qi rolled his eyes, moved his feet quickly, and followed the two civilians.

Soon, Lu Qi, pretending to be casual and following behind the two of them, arrived at an alleyway hidden in the backlight of the sun.

After standing at the entrance of the alley and observing for a while, Lu Qicai followed a few civilians who came to watch the fighting match and walked into the alleyway together under the scrutinizing eyes of the two guards in the arena.

Along the stone steps leading underground, Lu Qi, wearing a black cloak, came to an underground arena.

In an instant, noisy waves rushed towards us.

Only separated by a wooden door, the outside and the inside are like two completely different worlds.

The entire underground space was crowded with men and women.

Among them, there are nobles in rich clothes, soldiers in armor, and more common people in simple clothes.

However, they all have one thing in common. They have excited expressions, holding betting slips in their hands, and shouting without emotion:

"Kill that damn bastard!"

"Quick! Stand up! In the name of the gods, kill that freak!"

...

Following everyone's gaze, an underground facility that resembled an ancient Roman arena came into view.

At this moment, in an open space surrounded by wooden walls, a bearded dwarf with ferocious tattoos on his upper body and a round waist and thick arms was beating a strong man who was more than twice his height with his bare hands.

Along with the punches to the flesh, blood continued to splash out from the strong man's mouth, adding a bit of new paint to the ground that was already stained brown by blood.

Taking a deep breath of the rich smell of blood that filled his nose, Lu Qi closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were filled with wildness and fierceness:
Chapter completed!
