Yonglu, Qianye returned to the City of Blue Waves from the New World again.
Standing on the terrace of the Grand Duke's Palace, the blue wave city in front of him gave him a rather strange feeling.
In the distance, the fringe areas of the city and the large areas outside the city gates were originally slums with low shacks and excrement and dirty water on the ground. However, now they have been bulldozed in patches, and areas with distinct characteristics have been built.
of buildings.
From those neat and uniform styles, you can tell that this area is a demon-inhabited area, and that area is a vampire area, and werewolves are also divided into several areas and several styles. The werewolves of the Emerald Sea, the Grand Canyon and the Gale Leader have different preferences.
, the werewolves from various continents in Evernight have their own preferences.
The same is true for the human race. At a glance, you can see the Empire style, the Zheng Kingdom style, the Neutral Land style, etc.
The areas are neat and uniform, basically cut into squares and separated by wide roads. In comparison, the places where the chiefs and priests originally lived in the City of Blue Waves look like slums.
Those werewolf chief priests are used to being arrogant, how can they stand this? In addition, despite the primitive and backward nature of the werewolves in Yonglu, these chief priests are not short of money. The resources accumulated over the years can only be used by themselves when there is no foreign trade.
Just take a look, with trade comes money.
When they saw the new buildings built by outsiders, their eyes shone brightly. After returning, they either hired Imperial craftsmen or recruited Evernight craftsmen to renovate their homes according to their own preferences.
As a result, the aristocratic district of the City of Blue Waves also turned into a construction site, with renovations and demolitions everywhere. But before it was completed, Qianye could tell that the styles in the same area were different, and that after it was completed, it would be chaotic and chaotic again.
Nothing compares to the neatness and uniformity of a renovated slum area.
In fact, the new planning of the slums was created by Song Hui. She didn't bother to adhere to the imperial tradition of being close to the mountains and facing the water, and changing the scenery as you moved. She simply drew a few straight horizontal and vertical lines on the map, and divided
The land was divided. The only contribution may be that the road must be built wider.
It just so happened that the werewolf priests who were responsible for the construction were really limited in their abilities and could not understand more complex plans at all. This method of drawing squares was the most satisfactory, so they carried it out to the end, and today the city of Blue Waves has a completely new look.
.
In addition to the residential area, a large area of land has been set aside and a special trade area has been built. Various shops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. From the bustling crowd, you can see gold coins rolling in.
Qianye would not care about such mundane matters. He was about to go back to his room when suddenly a familiar figure appeared at the edge of his field of vision. He was slightly startled, the figure flickered, and he appeared in front of that person in the blink of an eye. At this moment, Qianye's movements were already gone.
It's like a god, casting void flicker in the busy city, almost no one notices it.
In front of Qianye, the man with a stubble on his face and a miserable appearance turned out to be William.
William raised his head and was not surprised to see Qianye. He sighed and said, "You came just in time, I was just looking for you. Invite me to a drink. I've been in a bad mood lately."
Qianye didn't say much and said: "Go to my place or find a place casually?"
William waved his hand and said, "Find a tavern. Your place is too empty and there is no atmosphere even for drinking."
Qianye is indispensable. Fortunately, all ethnic groups now live together in the City of Blue Waves. Regardless of the eternal night in the empire, the demand for wine is the same, so taverns of all sizes have sprung up all over the city.
Qianye calmed down, while William looked down and out. No one recognized the two of them. They found a busy pub and went in, occupying a table in a corner.
Before he sat down, William's nose moved and he said: "A place like this actually has Lagrange? Ah, there's also the smell of Shirley, what is that? Saint Laurent?"
He named several world-famous wines in succession, and his eyes began to shine.
Qianye knew nothing about wine. In his opinion, all wines tasted the same. But since William was so interested, he called the waiter and asked, "Do you have the wines he just mentioned?"
The waiter looked proud, "Sir, although our store is not big, in fact we are a famous chain in Yongye, with more than 400 branches in three continents. This is the first one in Yonglu. As long as you listen
We can basically find all the good wines I mentioned."
Qianye said: "Okay, take two ** of each kind first."
"Three a**!" William interjected.
The waiter was startled and said cautiously: "Two adults, this requires a lot of money."
William slapped Qianye hard and said, "This brother of mine has no other abilities, except that he has a lot of money!"
Qianye smiled bitterly, how could he carry any gold coins with him at this time? Other things in Anduya's space are not suitable for showing financial resources. The waiter would probably not recognize any of them. After thinking about it, his consciousness suddenly swept across the two people in the space.
The box, with a thought in his mind, he had an extra potion in his hand, and said: "Pay with this."
The waiter took it and took a look. He was immediately surprised and said: "This is the human race's sacred tree sap potion! It is a genuine product from the military. That's enough, that's enough."
After a while, the table was filled with large and small wine bottles, all of which were famous wines. William opened a bottle, took a sip, and praised: "Good wine!"
He raised his head and poured most of the wine down, sighing: "I never thought I could drink such good wine here."
"I didn't expect that either." Qianye said the truth. The supply of luxury goods in a place represents the financial strength of that place. Before today, he never thought that Bibo City had exceeded the consumption power of the neutral land city.
"Come on, do it!"
William didn't talk much, and just drank. He didn't speak, and Qianye didn't ask, just drank with him. In the blink of an eye, most of the wine on the table between them was empty.
Although William was powerful, his natural ability to drink varied from individual to individual. Without using the Force to resist, he gradually became overwhelmed by alcohol and his eyes began to wander.
Qianye felt a little dizzy from the beginning, and he is still a little dizzy now. If he continues to drink, he will probably stay a little dizzy.
William obviously had something on his mind, and it seemed like he was trying every means to get him drunk.
When he was about 60% drunk, William suddenly said: "You know, in this damn world, as long as you are a little weaker, someone will want to divide you and eat you! Without strength, there is no damn dignity.
!”
"I would still sympathize with you if someone said this, but forget it."
"I just experienced soul enlightenment twice and progressed a little faster than others. What's wrong with me?!" William was very dissatisfied.
"Wait a minute, what did you just say? The soul was opened? Or twice?" Qianye now has 50 to 60 million werewolf people under his command, and he is already very clear about werewolves.
Soul opening is a special ritual for werewolves. By holding a series of mysterious rituals at the ancestor altar, one accepts various tests of the ancestor's soul. After passing the test, one can gain part of the power of the ancestor's soul.
Werewolves who are qualified to open their souls are geniuses among geniuses. Even so, the probability of passing the test is very low.
Once you pass the test and receive the blessing of the soul of your ancestors, the werewolf's strength will increase dramatically, and there is even a record of being upgraded to two levels in a row. This kind of soul improvement is different from human potions, there are almost no side effects, and the power obtained is diverse.
, some have pure physical power, some have stronger Force cultivation, and some even become masters of prophecy.
The existence of soul opening is one of the reasons for the longevity of the werewolf ancestor sect. It is also because of this ritual that strong men can continue to emerge in the original form of werewolf tribes, allowing werewolves to maintain their status as one of the four major tribes.
In William's mouth, after two soul openings, it was as simple as eating and drinking.
"Then what's your current rank..." Qianye asked cautiously, having mostly woken up from drinking. Underneath this decadent appearance, this William's strength may have undergone earth-shaking changes.
William seemed to have drunk too much, and seemed to be unsuspecting of Qianye, saying: "Duke, what can I do?"
He let out a long sigh, picked up the drink and drank it hard.
"Wait a minute, you're already a duke, and your rank is higher than mine, what's there to complain about?" Qianye was very dissatisfied.
William glared at Qianye and said: "Not to mention the Duke, what if he is the Wolf Lord and the Wolf Ancestor? Shouldn't he have to bow his head and give up the interests of the werewolf?"
"You mean, the Holy Mountain?"
William nodded, his face gloomy, and he just drank.
The Wolf Ancestor is about to die, so that's it. The Wolf Lord at the top of the peaks is in his prime, and he can make him bow his head, but the Supreme Lord may not be able to do it easily. Most of the time, the two Supreme Lords on the Holy Mountain joined forces to make the werewolf have to bow his head. William
That's why I'm so depressed.
William looked at Qianye and suddenly said: "Guess why I came to you?"
Qianye leaned back and said, "You're not asking for a drink with me. You won't ask for trouble."
William stared at Qianye, his lips moved, and he wanted to say a few harsh words, but he finally retained the last bit of sobriety, knowing that drinking with Qianye would only lead to death, so he could not let go of these harsh words.
Go down.
However, with this interruption, William's depressed mood was relieved a lot. He sighed and said, "Actually, I came to you to avoid trouble."
"To avoid disaster?"
William looked gloomy and said: "In the past thousand years, I am the only werewolf whose soul has been opened twice. The Wolf Lord blocked the news and asked me to leave the werewolf territory and travel outside. In fact, he was afraid that I would be recruited into the new world. Once I get there,
, your destiny is no longer in your own hands."
Qianye also had some understanding of the current situation in the new world and said: "You mean, victims?"
William laughed at himself: "Is there any better target than me? In order to kill me, King Qingyang will probably come to kill me, right?"
Qianye sighed. From his point of view, he really didn't know what to do. From the empire's point of view, William's value was still higher than that of Hierro. Naturally, he would not hesitate to kill him.
But all this time, Qianye has never been able to regard William as a real enemy. Not only did William save him intentionally or unintentionally many times when he was weak, but as an Eternal Night noble, William did not specifically target the Dawn camp or the human race.
.He is more like a lone traveler, looking for the gray area in the middle of the two camps.
"If they really do this, I'm afraid they will completely turn against the werewolves, right?"
"Both the Wolf Ancestor and the Wolf Lord were worried about this, so they asked me to leave without giving them this chance." William's voice was particularly desolate. (https:)
