Chapter 1271: Chapter 1272: Arrival

"Hoo-hoo~ What a unique scenery~"

Leaping off the large ship, Feng Yuan looked around excitedly and said. Dantia, one of the zones in Drochkar, consists of several cities and their affiliated small towns. This area is known as the Garden Castle Zone due to preserving its original features. Whether it’s the ancient castles or the flower decorations spread everywhere, these are all characteristics of the Dantia Zone.

"Don’t wander off. We still haven’t received our visas."

Pulling Feng Yuan back, Qi Chen said helplessly. This guy must have forgotten they applied for the visas while still at sea. As of now, their visas hadn’t been issued yet. And as for how this ship managed to dock? Well... the high-speed waterways of Delong Tower directly lead to the port. Who would dare block them? Would anyone risk angering Delong Tower?

At this moment, a man dressed in dark green local attire, holding down his hat with one hand and clutching a document folder with the other, ran over. Although they couldn’t tell who exactly owned this ship, recognizing Delong Tower’s high-speed waterways was impossible to miss. Anyone with dealings related to the open seas would seldom offend Delong Tower lightly.

"Greetings! Welcome to Kalta Sand. Are you Mr. Feng Yuan and Mr. Qi Chen from Great Xia?"

The man elegantly bowed in front of them and asked politely. Feng Yuan looked at the man in surprise, turned to glance at Agunas behind him, and said:

"They can recognize us? I thought you’d have to step forward to sort that out."

"You think they’d be that... foolish?"

Waving his tail, Agunas said with exasperation. Divine Beasts don’t need visas. When helping process the visas, they surely reviewed Feng Yuan and Qi Chen’s information. Not recognizing them would indeed be strange. Let alone asking a Divine Beast to personally fetch the visas—it would only risk leaving a poor impression.

It was just a quick trip, not a big deal. Causing displeasure over something so trivial wasn’t worth it.

"This booklet contains some of Dantia’s more unique legal provisions. Please take time to review it and avoid violating them."

The man bowed again and handed two small booklets over. Flipping through casually, Feng Yuan noted that the content was actually quite brief. These small booklets were distributed to all foreign tourists. While laws generally don’t differ drastically, each place has its own specific rules. Even group tourists are given these booklets to avoid trouble.

Of course, apart from common knowledge and what’s printed in the booklets, other special regional rules—if accidentally violated—generally aren’t pursued too harshly. After all, no one can be expected to know every single rule at their travel destination.

"Take a look. Don’t break any of them, okay~"

Handing the booklet casually to Qi Chen, Feng Yuan remarked smugly. Qi Chen glanced briefly at Feng Yuan and retorted helplessly:

"I think you actually need to read through it properly since you’re way more likely to cause trouble than I am..."

Even back in Maomu City, Feng Yuan had stirred up quite a bit of commotion. Qi Chen suspected that if this guy didn’t pay close attention to the booklet, he’d simply claim ignorance when a problem arose.

"I’ve already skimmed through it. Nothing too special, except for rule seventeen about not feeding the Spirit Beasts casually in the towns. What does that even mean?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Feng Yuan said offhandedly. Qi Chen froze, quickly flipping through the booklet to locate rule seventeen, and found that it indeed stated not to feed Spirit Beasts in the towns of Dantia casually.

Watching Feng Yuan, the man smiled bitterly and explained:

"Actually, the rule exists because these small towns can’t accommodate too many wild Spirit Beasts."

He turned to look at a nearby small town, adorned abundantly with flowers and greenery, before adding:

"Dantia’s towns have always attracted large numbers of plant-type Spirit Beasts due to their floral abundance. These species coexist harmoniously with us. Occasionally, Spirit Beasts of other types wander in but usually only stay for a short time before leaving.

But as tourists arrived, many of them couldn’t resist feeding the Spirit Beasts that approached them. As you know, plant-type Spirit Beasts don’t have high food requirements, so the ones actively approaching tourists are mostly of other types."

The man rubbed his forehead, continuing:

"With more and more tourists feeding them, the lazy ones began staying in town..."

"A town can only sustain so many Spirit Beasts. So, between plant-type Spirit Beasts and the others, who ends up winning?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuan immediately grasped the situation. Although it might not be about food disputes, one mustn’t forget that Spirit Beasts also need rest. No matter how friendly the residents here are, they wouldn’t offer their homes up to the Spirit Beasts. The town’s corners have limited space for resting Spirit Beasts, inevitably leading to territorial disputes.

Seeing Feng Yuan’s understanding, the man wasn’t particularly surprised. Given Feng Yuan’s close relationship with Agunas, plus the straightforward logic of the situation, it was easy to analyze and deduce. Nodding slightly, the man said with a bitter smile:

"There’s no actual victor. Both sides are fairly matched. It’s an ongoing conflict, and while we forcibly separate them during fights..."

"So this rule was introduced, then? Without abundant food, those non-plant Spirit Beasts would naturally leave."

Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan commented. As for whether the Spirit Beasts would steal people’s food, that seemed unlikely. Such unruly Spirit Beasts exist but are rare. Their presence here is primarily motivated by the ease of obtaining diverse food rather than survival conditions, which might not even compare favorably to the wilderness.

Once the easily obtainable food vanishes, they wouldn’t suddenly resort to unethical behavior but would leave. After all, humans wouldn’t tolerate truly hostile Spirit Beasts. Their reluctance to drive them away aggressively stems from emotional attachment and the good relationship between humans and the local Spirit Beasts overall.

"Exactly, so please refrain from feeding Spirit Beasts carelessly."

With hands clasped together in a pleading gesture, the man emphasized. After all, while that rule existed, Feng Yuan was accompanied by a Divine Beast. If he justified feeding the Spirit Beasts as beneficial, who could challenge him?

"Understood. No worries."

Glancing at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan replied nonchalantly. He wouldn’t casually feed other Spirit Beasts, especially with Xiao Ji keeping a close eye; otherwise, her mood might sour again.

At this moment, the man moved aside to deliver visas and booklets to Dou Yanlan’s group, taking a moment to explain matters. Watching the man walk away, Yang Hongzhi commented in amazement:

"I thought he’d warn me not to harvest their Spiritual Medicine."

"Why would he? They don’t even know your purpose here."

Rolling his eyes at Yang Hongzhi, Feng Yuan replied helplessly. Besides, Spiritual Medicine and Materials aren’t particularly bountiful in the wild zones. Most tourists wouldn’t venture into those areas to gather resources. Glancing at Yang Hongzhi, Feng Yuan asked:

"Are you planning on heading out immediately?"

"Not really. I’ll walk around with you guys for a bit first, then..."

Scratching his head awkwardly, Yang Hongzhi seemed somewhat remorseful. Given Agunas’ participation, it felt odd not to travel together with Feng Yuan’s group. Feng Yuan folded his arms across his chest and said:

"That works too. This place seems quite interesting. If anything comes up, just have Najia contact us."

"It’s so beautiful~"

Feng Yuan placed his hand against a whitewashed wall, commenting. Time had left weathered marks on these walls. The red roofs were no longer vibrant, and the worn-out stone-paved paths showed clear signs of repair. Even with occasional maintenance by the plant-type Spirit Beasts, wild weeds still grew freely in the corners near walls.

Vines clinging to the walls swayed in the breeze, occasionally shedding their hidden pale yellow blooms.

The residents chatted leisurely, as if basking in endless leisure.

"It does look beautiful, but..."

Dou Yanlan furrowed her brows slightly. Despite the idyllic scene, something felt amiss. Meanwhile, Feng Yuan pulled out his phone and handed it to Qi Chen before dragging Xiao Ji and the others around to capture photos at what he deemed picturesque spots.
