The border city is built on the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a super garden built in the sky, which is beautiful.
Compared with other races, the lifespan of elves is generally more than two hundred years. Coupled with their leisurely and secluded life, they have enough time to create their favorite works of art.
The stable environment allows these works of art to be passed down in an orderly manner. Over time, it can be said that every gathering place in the Morning Star Empire is an art museum!
As everyone slowly moved forward on the long bridge, melodious music also sounded. The tune was gentle and light, making people feel more and more cheerful.
After hearing the music, a group of colorful birds flew out from the surrounding mountains and forests and kept circling above the long bridge, echoing the music with their crisp chirps. It didn't seem chaotic at all, but had a natural feeling.
Even on the gem-like lake, colorful fish and water animals kept jumping out, following Yue Qianhua and others.
Yue Qianhua and others were naturally attracted by the scenery here, and with bright smiles on their faces, they entered the border city together.
Different from other cities, the city walls of the border city are not made of bricks and stones, but are built using the original mountains. The surface of the city walls is covered with ancient and simple decorative sculptures. Under the embellishment of ivy and green moss, it gives a simple and vicissitudes of atmosphere.
Coming at you.
Don't underestimate these mottled and old stone walls. Once a war really comes, they will form a watertight defense system. No one can capture this place unless they pay a very painful price.
After entering the city, Yue Qianhua and others walked on a winding road decorated with various residential houses, heading straight to the city lord's palace at the top.
Although the border city has a long history and has a population of more than half a million, once you actually enter this city, you will find that there are not many pedestrians on the streets here, and it even gives people a faint feeling of returning to the countryside.
"Lord Thred, I wonder why there are so few people on the street?"
Murong Ziyue looked at the surrounding scenery curiously, then seemed to think of something, turned around and asked Slade.
"Who is this beautiful lady?"
After hearing Murong Ziyue's inquiry, Thride asked Yue Qianhua politely.
When they met just now, only Yue Qianhua reported her name, while Murong Ziyue and others stood behind her.
"This is the sister of our Lord City Lord's wife, her name is Murong Ziyue."
Yue Qianhua introduced her, secretly praying in her heart that the little girl wouldn't do anything wrong.
"It turns out to be Miss Murong Ziyue, disrespectful!"
There was a hint of surprise on Thride's face, but he quickly hid it, smiled at Murong Ziyue, and continued: "Miss Ziyue may not know that although the border city has 500,000 permanent residents, it is not big.
Most of the time, residents like to stay in the forest and lakeside, and they can only be seen in those places."
Speaking of this, Sread pointed to the dense forest beside the lake in the distance and said: "The place I pointed to is home to nearly a hundred thousand residents of the border city. It can be said that under every big tree, there is a household.
exist."
Murong Ziyue nodded and said with a hint of expectation: "I see, then will the Lord of the City allow me to visit?"
"Of course, if you are interested, we can go there at any time."
After hearing this, Yue Qianhua said: "Lord City Lord, we have a very important mission here this time, so we are not in a hurry about the visit."
Turning to look at the little girl, Yue Qianhua showed a slight smile on her face when she saw her pouting slightly but not objecting.
"In that case, let's go directly to the City Lord's Mansion."
Chatting all the way, with the residents watching curiously, everyone took a car and arrived at the city lord's mansion.
Next, Thride invited everyone to a suspended platform with beautiful scenery, took out the special fruits of the Morning Star Empire, and invited everyone to taste them together.
Although the aroma of fruits was overflowing, Yue Qianhua always had a sense of urgency, because when she set off, she had been reminded by Tang Zhen that the envoys of the Orc Alliance would soon arrive in the Morning Star Empire.
Although the Holy Dragon City monks will try their best to intercept the Orc Alliance's envoy team, even so, the other party may still arrive successfully, so cooperation with the Morning Star Empire must be achieved as soon as possible.
After pondering for a while, Yue Qianhua said to Slade: "The city lord may have guessed the purpose of our trip, so Qianhua no longer conceals it. To be honest, we came here this time hoping to
Reached cooperation with Morning Star Empire.
On my way here, Holy Dragon City has launched an attack on the Orc Alliance, and future wars are inevitable.
We hope to cooperate with the Morningstar Empire to fight against the Orc Alliance. If you are unwilling to participate in this war, we hope that the Morningstar Empire will always remain neutral.
In order to express our sincerity, Shenglongcheng will give generous gifts and cooperate with you in many aspects for common development!"
Slade always had a warm smile on his face, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. After Yue Qianhua finished speaking, he said: "Your Excellency Yue Qianhua, do you know that our Morning Star Empire has never been willing to participate?
To the disputes on the mainland? The reason why we appeared in the turmoil a hundred years ago was actually just to regain an important item, not to seize land and be defeated as rumored by the outside world.
Even if the mainland is in turmoil this time, we, the Morning Star Empire, still have no idea of participating in it, so whether it is you or the Orc Alliance, we will choose not to help each other.
As for the cooperation you mentioned, it is actually completely unnecessary, because the Morning Star Empire has its own cultural heritage and does not like to be interfered by external factors.
I have to say that your arrival is actually completely unnecessary, because from the beginning, you did not understand the principles of the Morning Star Empire!"
When Thred said this, there was a hint of pride on his face, and he was obviously very proud of the culture and history of the Morning Star Empire.
Yue Qianhua smiled and did not refute, but she felt a little dissatisfied.
Although what Thred said is true, it is not a shackle that restrains the Morning Star Empire. As long as there are enough benefits, these things can be put aside temporarily, and after enough benefits are obtained, they can be taken out and repainted.
If used properly, this can be a very useful fig leaf.
Therefore, Thride did not agree to cooperate just because the benefits provided by Holy Dragon City were not enough.
Diplomacy at a distance and attack at home, this was the final decision made by Shenglong City after discussion.
And this time, Holy Dragon City is bound to be won, and they have already made adequate preparations. If Yue Qianhua’s trip fails, and the Morning Star Empire chooses to cooperate with the Orc Alliance, it is estimated that it will not take long for this paradise on earth to be conquered.
