Chapter 112: One Hundred and Fifteen Dragons
In the room that was a little old, Jian Ling Tian looked at the sandstorm outside the window and was a little distracted, behind him Jian Lingxin was combing Wan Qianyu's hair on the only small bed in the room, and Jian Ling Tian lightly tapped the table with his index finger.
The family was quite kind and agreed to their request to stay overnight, but the family was very poor, and there were only two rooms in total, and this was the room of the old man's grandson.
Jian Lingtian didn't see the little boy's parents either, there were only two people in this family, the old man and the little boy, and Jian Lingtian could imagine how difficult their lives were.
Jian Lingtian and the three of them lived in this room, while Wei He lay bunks in the lobby outside.
"It's so backward here. Jian Lingxin suddenly spoke, her mood was a little dull, and her voice lacked the vitality of the past.
She came to Youlan City from Beixiao City all the way, passing through many cities, what impressed her the most here was [backwardness], there was no [Star Lantern] that could be seen everywhere in the Xingzhu Empire on the streets here, and the city here was dark at night.
There are no magic machines to be seen, and the farmers rely on the most primitive manpower and cattle to grow crops, not to mention any magic potions, so the urban population here is very small, often less than 100,000 people in a city.
The vast majority of ordinary people live in poverty, and every year they can only rely on farming to obtain enough food to feed themselves, and only a few people can learn a craftsman's trade by virtue of their ingenuity, or open a fruit shop or two, or a clothing store...... and so on.
But there are no merchants here, and if you are a merchant in this chaotic place, I am afraid that in less than a day the goods and money will be robbed.
However, the transcendents here live very comfortably, and even say that the transcendents live in the [inner city] in the center of the city, and ordinary people dare not set foot in the slightest. This clear relationship is as if the transcendent and the ordinary live in two different worlds, next to each other, but in no way overlapping.
"The Second Sage's magic technique hasn't spread here......?"
Jian Ling Tian shook his head slowly, and then sighed, "There is also a magic guide technique here, although the range is extremely small. The Land of Chaos is quite exclusive to the Three Northern Kingdoms, and the traveling merchants do not dare to set foot here, after all, the danger factor is too high, so there are almost no magic guidance machinery among ordinary people, even those transcendents in the inner city, but the overlord forces of those cities are enjoying the convenience of magic technology. ”
Jian Lingxin was slightly stunned, and then frowned, "Don't those overlord forces know the benefits of promoting magic guide technology?"
There are benefits to the promotion of magic technology, simple magic machinery gives ordinary people similar abilities to the transcendental, the productivity of the people will increase in geometric multiples, people will no longer struggle for hunger, more people will have time for entertainment, time to learn crafts, and even embark on the path of cultivation...... In the long run, magic technology will comprehensively promote the development of a region.
"They know, but they don't want to hand over [supernatural power] to ordinary people. ”
"The magic guide technology not only improves the productivity of ordinary people, but also improves their [force] After a magic guide cannon is charged with an energy storage crystal, ordinary people can also manipulate it, and the power of a magic guide cannon cannot be resisted head-on by an advanced professional. ”
"There are advantages and disadvantages to promoting magic guidance technology, it gives ordinary people the ability to resist the transcendental, although it is only a possibility, but those overlord forces will not promote magic guidance technology, it is enough for them to be able to use it themselves?
"......" Jian Lingxin only felt that his chest was getting heavier and heavier, and the truth was indeed as Jian Ling Tian said.
"Alright, Lingxin, you don't have to worry about that. Jian Lingtian stood up a little helplessly, walked behind Jian Lingtian, and gently hugged her shoulder.
"It's true that ordinary people here are living hard, but we can't help them, unless the Xingzhu Empire occupies this place and establishes land and order in this chaotic land. ”
Jian Lingxin listened to the voice close to his ear, and his little face flushed a little.
"Hmm......" Sword Spirit nodded lightly.
"According to Grandpa, [Dragon Valley] is in this chaotic place. Jian Ling Tian suddenly changed the subject, "Our top priority now is to find Dragon Valley. ”
Dragon Valley is the gathering place of the legendary dragon clan, ordinary people may regard the existence of the dragon clan as a myth and legend, but Jian Ling Tian and they will not, the [Ming Star Palace] of Xingzhu City has many records of the connection between the Xingzhu royal family and the dragon clan, although it has been nearly a hundred years, the dragon clan has not been connected with humans.
Legend has it that dragons and elves are the races that have the most contact with the gods, and dragons and elves are immortal species, maybe there are dragons in the dragon family who have lived from a thousand years ago to the present. The [End] of Thousands of Feathers originates from the gods, and if they want to find a way to solve the end, or control the end, the dragon clan is the only breakthrough.
"The elves are almost wiped out, and although there are sporadic elven rangers who have escaped by traveling around the continent at the beginning of the disaster, their inheritance has been completely severed. Sword Spirit sighed helplessly, "Otherwise, the elven clan is a good choice, and Dragon Valley is too difficult to find." ”
"No way, the dragons are an isolated race. Jian Ling Tian took out a broken parchment scroll from the portable space device he was carrying, this parchment scroll seemed to be very distant, and there were traces of time on it.
The parchment scroll unfolded, and on top of it were unusually cumbersome runes, though they were inconspicuous. Without the runes engraved on the magic scrolls, the class seemed profound.
Even the runes on the parchment scroll look crooked, more like children's graffiti.
"This is the map left by the last [Indomitable Brave] to reach Dragon Valley?" Sword Spirit turned his little head over with curiosity, saying that it was a map, which was more like an article composed of symbols.
"Grandpa said that the clue to Dragon Valley is here. Sword Ling Tian's right hand gently stroked the parchment scroll.
"What do you mean by these...... At this time, Jian Lingxin finally helped Wan Qianyu comb her hair, and the little girl turned her head over with curiosity, looked at the pile of runes on the parchment scroll for a while, and then said with a blank face.
"This is the [ancient text] of a thousand years ago, a little difficult to recognize, the meaning of the first two sentences is probably [lawless land, the place full of yellow sand], the entire chaotic land built in the desert city is only this Youlan City. Jian Lingtian explained.
“...... Where did this valley come from in the desert......" Jian Lingxin frowned.
"Maybe it's space magic or something. Jian Ling Tian only said his guess slightly.
"What does the latter mean?" Wan Qianyu seemed to be very interested in this ancient script.
"There is a legend that the dragon will observe the world and invite those who have high character to the Dragon Valley, and it calls these people who are recognized by the dragon as the Secret Dragons......"
