Shao Jian snorted, "Since the founding of Bejia, thousands of wars have been planned, launched, and even personally participated in. It relies on doing this kind of thing for the gods in exchange for its own continuation and strength!"
"You said -" he said word by word, "are these demon emperors and demon kingdom masters traitors in the world?"
"...Yes." He Lingchuan said cautiously, "But Bega doesn't seem to have fought in the past ten years or so?"
"It didn't move on its own, but what about the State of Ju? What about the State of Dai?" Shao Jian said coldly, "The new king of the State of Ju changed the government, and rebellion suddenly broke out. Within six months, more than 20,000 people died. The king of Ju State was also buried in the
Under the knife, various rebel groups fought fiercely for power. It was really killing people like mowing grass, and it has not stopped until now."
"Dai Guo has only been at peace for twenty years, and now it is at war with its old enemy. The feud is getting deeper and deeper, and I don't know how long it will end." Shao Jian shook his head, "Beijia is behind the turmoil between the two countries. All I know is that
These, I don’t know, are countless.”
"The Gods are not stupid. If you just harvest the nightmare energy, you will be fishing." Speaking of the Gods, Shao Jian will never have a good look. "The human world also needs to recuperate and recuperate, which is conducive to the recovery of spiritual energy. Otherwise, everyone will die, and what will the Gods use to collect it?"
Nightmare Qi? It just so happens that human reproduction and prosperity coincide with the revival of spiritual energy. As long as the gods control the intensity and frequency of wars through Bega, they can ensure an endless supply of nightmare Qi and maintain the quality and quantity."
"In this way..." He Lingchuan considered his words, "Isn't the human world just the pasture of the gods?"
When there are many people, harvest them; when there are few people, plant them up.
How is this different from raising pigs and cattle?
"Who says it's not the case?" Shao Jian sighed, "The gods and Bejia are the source of endless turmoil in this world!"
He Lingchuan's eyes moved slightly: "Since the gods rely on harvesting the nightmare energy of humans to survive, why does Mitian Empress help us?"
Can a normal god do such a thing, betraying his own origin and standing against the entire race?
"What about this? You have to ask Commander Zhong." Shao Jian wiped off the suet on his knife, "I don't know the content of the agreement between him and Mi Tian Dingli."
He Lingchuan felt that he did not tell the whole truth.
"Anyway, you have to understand that Panlong City is not a fairyland. Sooner or later, the gods will set their sights here. Until then..." The hatred in Shao Jian's eyes finally couldn't be hidden, "They and Bejia's evil, madness, and cruelty
, you have no way of imagining it. Since Brother Zhong has chosen the right and difficult path, we can only move forward!"
There was no turning back? He Lingchuan looked up at the stars and silently took in a breath of cold air.
￥￥￥￥￥
At dawn, He Lingchuan went out for a stroll.
When he first arrived, he was still an unknown person. Not many people in the huge Lingxu City recognized him, so he just took this opportunity to visit.
It was almost dark when he entered the city yesterday, and there was a lot of sightseeing along the way. He could take a good stroll this morning.
The core area of ​​Panlong City is only a few places on Wanglin Street, but there is no so-called "core" in Lingxu City because its bustling urban area is too large, with tracts of streets and markets allocated to it, and the main city
He Lingchuan and Fucheng each have their own central areas, which in He Lingchuan's view are called business districts.
This is the place where the world's goods are collected, distributed and circulated. Along the way, he even recognized the specialties of Yuan and Fu in the shops on the street.
Goods from both the north and the south, as well as rare treasures from Yunei, can be bought here as long as you have money.
Walking further behind the high-rise mansion, there are rows of restaurants, including large restaurants and small restaurants. Business is booming and there is a constant flow of customers.
He Lingchuan saw a restaurant with a small appearance, but the signboard clearly said "Plagiar Seafood", so he walked in.
There is a pine bonsai outside the door, and two yellow peach parrots are playing and kissing on the tree. The environment in the store is clean and elegant, with four neat sets of mahogany tables and chairs, and three tables of customers are already seated.
He Lingchuan looked left and right, but he didn't see where the seafood was. When he asked, he found out that the seawater pool was at the back, and he was afraid that if he put it in front, he would be criticized for being unsightly.
In the past, He Lingchuan had entered such a small restaurant, and no one cared about its "elegance". As expected of Lingxu City, even a small restaurant has a high B rating.
After a while, the seafood porridge he ordered came, and it was still bubbling when it was brought to the table.
He took a spoon and stirred it up. Oh, there are quite a lot of ingredients. Except for the squid and scallops, which should be dried and soaked, the oysters, shrimps, clams and small octopuses are all cooked fresh. The fresh and sweet taste in the mouth is deceiving.
Inhumane.
The rice porridge is also cooked until the salty aroma blooms, and the heat is just right.
After He Lingchuan took a few sips, he felt that the cool air of autumn had been driven away, and his stomach felt very warm.
Next is the butter noodles.
The so-called "butter" refers to crab meat and crab roe. I won't go into details about how delicious it is. This shop also adds some pig fat and fry it together to add an extra oily aroma.
He Lingchuan knew that big restaurants have stricter requirements and only use butter, which means no crab meat is added at all, and it is made from pure crab roe and crab paste. This is so noble.
He doesn't pay much attention to it, as long as it tastes good.
Then there are two large plates of sea sausage + fish dumplings.
The freshly chopped dace meat is stirred into a paste and mixed with chopped sea sausage to make a filling. Even the dumpling wrappers are black - dyed with ink from octopus or squid.
To be honest, the taste is really good, but the portion is a bit small. He Lingchuan felt his belly and felt that he was probably 20% full at most.
Pay the bill, it's just one tael of silver.
That's a thousand dollars.
He hissed softly. He wanted to eat as much as he could, but he didn't pay five taels of silver for a meal. The price was really not cheap.
Lingxu City is not close to the sea, so there is no need to save on travel expenses when bringing fresh sea freight here. Besides, this is the main city, where every inch of land is at a premium...
When I looked at the tables on the left and right, there were young men and women. They were eating slowly and carefully, and there was not even a sound of clinking bowls and spoons.
Sure enough, this is not a place for people to fill their bellies.
He Lingchuan bid farewell to the smiling boss, went out and turned a few corners, and found a bun shop further back. He ordered ten large fresh meat buns, each one as big as his fist, plus two bowls of millet and grains.
Porridge.
After this meal, I snored softly and finally felt full.
He Lingchuan left the bun shop and looked up.
Lingxu City can be said to be a model of harmonious coexistence between monsters and monsters. The streets are full of monsters of all kinds. The one who was sitting in the bun shop collecting money just now was a baboon monster. His hands were wet with saliva while he counted the copper coins to him.
There are often birds in the sky and on the branches.
In this environment, He Lingchuan had no idea whether he was being watched or not. He just hoped that since he was new to the country, others wouldn't be able to keep an eye on him.
He also visited two clothing stores and several specialty shops, buying several sets of clothes and souvenirs. He also went to a teahouse, ordered two pots of morning tea, and listened to a storyteller.
Recently, there have been some strange things that cannot be explained in the small country northwest of Bega. The storyteller added some spices and some subjective assumptions to make a few good stories. Because they were fresh, everyone listened with rapt attention and interrupted him from time to time.
Ask questions.
This ended a leisurely morning.
He Lingchuan is not worried at all about the safety of Prince Scarlet Yan. Given his status and the fact that he is the next Demon King of Scarlet Yan who is favored by the gods, Lingxu City should treat him kindly.
Sure enough, Eyeball Spider quickly sent him a message saying that Fu Shanyue had returned to the inn, packed up and went out again.
Under the emperor's feet, socializing is probably one of the most important activities for the upper class. If you only visit two places a day, you won't be able to finish them in two or three months.
Prince Chiyan also has many people who need to visit.
So He Lingchuan was not in a hurry and continued sightseeing in the city, even spending some money to join a guided tour.
Lingxu City is so developed that as long as it is a profitable job, there are people here. There are many scenic spots nearby, so there are people who specialize in traveling and leading sightseeing groups. The specially chartered deer cart is very spacious when sitting in it.
In fact, the person in charge is not a human at all, but a fat white-fronted gibbon.
This ape monster is smarter than humans. The scenic spots introduced along the way are really called Lotus Flowers, and a smelly ditch can also be explained as the Huanxi Land of the Sharkmen... The most amazing thing is that this dead monkey also takes them shopping!
There are local local products shops and restaurants that are not expensive but not delicious either. If you don’t buy anything, you will have to face the tour guide’s scornful face and cynicism. This really evokes He Lingchuan’s hometown feelings, and even seeing this ape monster feels warm to him.
Much more.
Someone stopped playing in the middle and wanted to get a refund and leave. As a result, the gibbon bared its teeth, and two huge mandrills with bulging muscles stood behind him, looking at him silently with a big painted face.
"..."
The passengers immediately said that this trip was so fun and it would be a shame not to go with the group to the end.
However, after a few minor accidents, He Lingchuan discovered that the gibbon was very familiar with the main city and Beikan District, and had many connections. It even said that as long as the guests could afford the money, it could take everyone to the floating island.
Take a stroll and see what kind of paradise the rich live in. It's guaranteed to be like another world.
But you can't move around that place at will, you have to follow its instructions and looks.
At this time, when He Lingchuan saw that the deer cart had arrived, he left the group in Xitui District without listening to its nonsense.
Of course, there will be no refunds for unfinished attractions.
He Lingchuan walked for a while and soon reached an ordinary residential area and turned into Diliu Lane.
There is a row of street shops in the front and a small river in the back. It has nothing to do with finding peace in the bustle, but it is more convenient for living at home.
After all, we are still in Lingxu City, and every house has a small house. At most, He Lingchuan's residence in Panlong City is two or three times the size.
After entering the alley, He Lingchuan walked through several doors until he reached the sixth door.
He stretched out his hand to knock, but heard laughter coming from inside, and there was more than one person.
Um?
This doesn't seem like the target he's looking for.
He Lingchuan used his strength and heard people chatting inside, as well as the sound of objects being clinked -
They are drinking.
He Lingchuan looked back and saw that there was an old man sitting on the doorstep in the alley, basking in the sun, looking at him with half-closed eyes. There were also boys playing with straw horses in the yard, screaming.
In this kind of street, all the neighbors have been there for decades, so a stranger will stand out.
He Lingchuan thought for a while, turned around and walked back.
…
After a while, there was a knock on the sixth door.
The drinker inside poked his head out and looked around, but there was no one there.
"here!"
When he lowered his head, he saw the little boy standing close by, holding a note in his hand: "Letter to Tong Wei!"
Tong Wei? Who is Tong Wei?
