    Chapter 450 Entering the City

    Probably because of the existence of the other two sects in the Western Continent, legends about the divine dragon are almost unheard of in the Western Continent.

    But this is also an extremely normal thing. The competition for believers between sects is always the fiercest. In the western continent, apart from the Sun God and the God of the Underworld, there really is no other faith.

    As the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, there is no doubt about its prosperity.  And the city entry tax, one of the main taxes, is naturally indispensable.

    "Dragon City?"

    Li Yang raised his head slightly, looked at the two characters carved on top of the huge and majestic city gate in front of him, and read them out in a low voice.

    Although the writing of the Tang Dynasty is completely different from that of the Western Continent, with Li Yang's current soul state, it is only a matter of minutes to learn a foreign language. With his strong comprehension and understanding, he only needs to flip through the book  That's enough to get some done.  As one of the necessary preparations, Li Yang had already done it when he was in Bai Zhan's City Lord's Mansion.

    In terms of hugeness, this city gate is not much larger than the city gate of Rennos City. If you compare it carefully, it is even smaller.  However, the city gate stood there, so far away, that Li Yang could feel a heavy sense of desolation and majesty.  Especially the word "dragon" above the city gate.  It was really a stylus pen and silver hook, written in one go. The entire font seemed to come alive, like a real dragon lying on the city gate, looking down at the endless flow of people below.

    Looking at the word "dragon", Li Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. Although it was just a word, Li Yang could clearly sense the powerful will bred in it.  Li Yang didn't know how many years this city gate had existed, but it was estimated that it must be countless times older than Renault City.  Such an ancient city that has existed for tens of millions of years can actually retain its charm to this day. This shows how terrifying the power of the person who originally wrote the name of the city is.

    Tens of millions of years later, the words left behind alone will be enough to frighten a powerful man of Li Yang's level.  If it is a saint-level powerhouse, I am afraid that it will not be able to possess such abnormal power. Therefore, according to Li Yang's guess, the person who originally wrote the words "Dragon City" is most likely an emperor-level powerhouse.

    "There is a reason why the Tang Dynasty can be so prosperous. It seems that the person who named Dragon City was probably the first king of the Tang Dynasty. Only those with the strength comparable to the mythical beasts can do such unprecedented things.  Shuo Jin's achievements will come." Li Yang whispered to himself, then smiled softly, and slowly walked towards the huge city gate like an ancient ferocious beast entrenched in front.

    This Dragon City is the heart of the Tang Dynasty. It is an absolute economic center with tens of millions of permanent residents and hundreds of thousands of people coming and going every day.

    At this moment, Li Yang was caught in the wave of people, slowly rushing towards the city gate.  While in the crowd, Li Yang discovered a strange thing, that is, the people around him had more or less traces of dirt on them, making them look quite dirty.  Li Yang frowned slightly. Although he didn't have any mysophobia, he didn't like to be covered in dirt by others.

    With a thought, Li Yang started to move quietly. On the surface, the crowd seemed crowded, but there was always a big gap around Li Yang, which kept other people at a distance from him.

    This situation naturally attracted a lot of surprised looks, but it did not cause any commotion. The people around Li Yang only looked at Li Yang quietly with awe-inspiring eyes and then did not dare to look at him again.

    People who can enter and exit Dragon City, even civilians, have considerable knowledge.

    They all know that a strong person like Li Yang who can do such strange things needs at least the strength of a king beast warrior or above.  However, there are countless powerful people in this dragon city. Although king-level powerful people are rare, they can be encountered occasionally.  So although people were slightly surprised, they were not too shocked.

    After all, in this dragon city, even the king beast warrior must abide by the laws of the empire and pay taxes to enter the city honestly.

    As he gradually approached the city gate, Li Yang's brows slowly knitted together.  Although Li Yang had already calculated everything when he came, he just ignored one insignificant thing.

    Li Yang saw from a distance that what the people in front of him took out when paying the city tax was a strange knife-shaped metal that he had never seen before. It was small in size, only half a finger long, and the whole was bronze in color.

    "I forgot, the Tang Dynasty has developed to such a scale, how can it not have its own currency system." Li Yang frowned, thinking about how to deal with it.  The purpose of his coming here this time is to save people. Naturally, the lower profile the better. The best result is to sneak into the place where the Li family members are imprisoned quietly, and then take them into the soul as quickly as possible.After that, it¡¯s up to Li Yang to leave or stay as he wishes.

    But if you were arrested because you couldn't pay the city entrance tax, it would be a sinking in the gutter.  After all, how could there be no real masters stationed at the gate of this majestic Dragon City?

    "It's definitely not possible to break in forcefully. Let's not talk about whether you can break in. Even if you break in, your figure will be exposed, and it is inevitable to alert the snake.

    "Alas, it's a pity that I got the Ring of the Void in the Western Continent. Although there are various treasures in it, how can the currency of the Eastern Continent exist?" Li Yang felt helpless, but something unexpected happened.  Then he used his thoughts to scan the area dedicated to storing objects in the soul space.

    Suddenly, Li Yang raised his brows slightly, and a relaxed smile appeared on his lips.  He quietly retracted his palm into his cuff, and when he stretched it out again the next moment, a small knife coin made of pure gold appeared in Li Yang's palm.

    By color, Li Yang also knew that the value of the sword coin he took out must be far more than the bronze-colored sword coin.

    Li Yang naturally did not want to attract such attention, but unfortunately, although there were such sword coins in the Ring of the Void, they were all gold. It seemed that in the eyes of the previous owner, those coins were of low value.  Some of the knife coins on the market have no collection value at all.

    "Forget it, it's better than nothing." In his heart, he secretly despised the former owner of the Void Ring, and then Li Yang comforted himself in his heart.

    The front of the city gate is divided into dozens of toll points. Although the flow of people is slow, it is in an orderly manner. The distance between Li Yang and the city gate is gradually shrinking.

    Finally it was Li Yang's turn. When he came to the front of the city gate, the soldier in charge of Li Yang was lowering his head to sort out the scattered sword coins on the table in front of him. After throwing away all the cloth bags, he was confused.  He stretched out his hand towards Li Yang without any intention of speaking.

    It goes without saying that these tax collection soldiers have to accept coins from countless people every day. If they say a few words to everyone, they will probably be exhausted.  Anyway, everyone already knew the amount of the city entrance tax, so there was no need for him to waste such useless efforts.

    The tax collection soldier suddenly felt that there was something in his palm. He could not count how many times he had touched this shape, so that he knew what it was as soon as he put his hand on it, but at this moment, it also appeared in his mind.  There was a trace of doubt, but this bronze sword coin was much heavier than ordinary sword coins.

    Before he had time to think too much, the body of the tax collection soldier had already formed an instinct, and subconsciously began to work like an assembly line.

    ? Collect the coins, throw them into the bag, take out the tax receipt, and present it to the tax payer

    No!

    The tax collection soldier was suddenly startled. The palm that was about to tear off the tax receipt was fixed there. After blinking, the man shuddered all over and quickly put his head into the cloth bag containing the coins next to him.  Inside, after a lot of tinkering, he finally climbed out, but now he was holding a ball of golden light in his palms.

    This person has been a tax collector for nearly ten years, but this is the first time he has encountered this situation. Someone actually used a ¡®golden knife¡¯ to pay the city entry tax?  That¡¯s not how you change change, right?  Isn't this done intentionally to embarrass people?

    Subconsciously, he glanced at Li Yang, who was standing in front of him. The latter was looking at him with a smile. The tax collection soldier frowned without revealing any trace, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

    As a tax collector, they read countless people every day. For the ability to observe people, they are indeed first-rate.

    The young man in front of him was wearing a black gown, and the fabric didn't look very high-end. To put it bluntly, it was basically a street vendor.

    "However, there is a powerful aura on the other party that is difficult to discern. Although it is very obscure, it is definitely different from ordinary people. I can vaguely sense it at least slightly.

    The tax collector glanced down slightly, and then he became more and more certain of his conjecture.

    Although the other party's shoes were extremely ordinary, even far inferior to the pair on his own feet, the most important thing was that those shoes were spotless and impossibly clean.

    How is this possible? The other party is from outside the city. There has been a heavy rain that has not been seen in several years just a few days ago. The road is muddy. How can his shoes be so clean?  As for riding in a beast cart, it is absolutely impossible.

    There is only one main road leading to the east gate of Dragon City, and because of the heavy rain a few days ago, the mountain collapsed and a section of the road ten miles away from Dragon City has been completely blocked.  It's absolutely impossible to make it through.

    If it weren¡¯t for the quick clearing of the troops by the army, several narrow passages would have been cleared in time to allow pedestrians to pass through.If you force yourself to pass through, I'm afraid the east gate of Dragon City doesn't need to be opened at this moment.  However, in order to ensure that the strength of the passage would not collapse again, it was extremely narrow. This also explained why the people in front of the city gate were all covered in mud, as if a gang of beggars were attacking the city.

    In this comparison, Li Yang¡¯s clean outfit is even more surprising.
