Chapter 109: The Sword of the End of the Volume Leaves the Palace

The last calendar is the epoch used on the earth today. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because of the invasion of meditation, the original ecological environment of the earth suffered devastating damage, which led to the complete extinction of the state form, and it was from that time that mankind gave up the notation of the Common Era and created a new end of the calendar.

450 years after the end of the calendar, that is, 450 years have passed since the great invasion of the monastics.

Jian Liantian, a very familiar name, was the location of the Sword Pavilion's sect in the Giant Deer Continent. As early as after the Sword Pavilion was migrated to the earth by the Zhanbai Ju clan and established the Ethereal City.

Over the course of more than 100 years, as the city continued to expand, it finally established a city equivalent to a political center in its central hinterland, and named it Jianliantian.

In terms of scale, Jian Liantian is not a majestic giant city, and it is not even among the top ten in the jurisdiction of the Ethereal City, and the population is only five million.

But the rights that this city has cover the entire Ethereal City.

The city is different, very different, there is no sci-fi feeling of other cities in the Ethereal City, there are no skyscrapers made of cement and steel that are towering into the sky, there are no floating surveillance balls suspended in all corners of the city, there are no various sci-fi vehicles that fly in the sky or run on the ground, in comparison, this place is not even as prosperous as some of the big cities that existed on the earth before the end of the calendar, but it is full of a retro beauty.

There is not a single building higher than three stories in the city, and there is not a trace of technology on the streets, not even the steam or internal combustion powered cars that have become old enough to be reduced to antiques. And for people living in this city, the biggest reliance on travel on weekdays is two legs or ...... Flying swords.

If the huge Ethereal City is compared to a spider web, then Sword Liantian, no, to be exact, it should be a scenic manor in the central core area of Jian Liantian, which is the queen ant entrenched on the spider web...... Belch? There seems to be something wrong with this description, forget it, don't worry about these details, as long as you can understand the meaning.

This kind of manor, which covers thousands of acres, has no name to the outside world, and in the inner inner circle of the Ethereal City, it is called the Sword Palace, which is the real core power of the entire Ethereal City, and is equal to the status of the Round Table Representatives in the IPU.

The entire Sword Palace, and even the entire Sword Liantian, are purely in the service of politics. For this reason, even all irrelevant systems such as business, scientific research, etc. have been abandoned.

There are no shops here, and all daily necessities are purchased by special government departments and then distributed as needed. There are no research institutes or schools here, because there is no need, and there are no hospitals, because no one who is qualified to live here will get sick. The only thing that exists here is the government agencies at the top of the Ethereal City's various systems, as well as a small number of armies.

The Kenriku Palace is the highest center of power that unifies and coordinates various government agencies.

Like the slurs often propagated by the IPU to the people in its jurisdiction, the structure of government throughout the Ethereal City is one of centralization, with supreme authority not in the hands of a large number of elites, but only in the hands of a man who is said to be the emperor.

"This is a retrogression of human history, a counterattack of the feudal system, and a decadent regime with no democracy and freedom to talk about." This is the most common giant used by the IPU in promoting the Ethereal City.

In contrast, the IPU, led by the highest round table group and the House of Representatives, is undoubtedly synonymous with enlightenment, incorruptibility, freedom, and democracy.

Correspondingly, in response to the IPU's slander, the Ethereal City has a completely different set of rhetoric internally and externally.

The IPU's political system is promoted as hypocritical democracy, and the so-called elite is portrayed as the spokesmen of the major business trusts.

Anyway, it's all a war of words, in order to win people's hearts, naturally the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable. As for the real state of life of the civilians under his rule, it is up to the benevolent and the wise to see the wise.

Today was supposed to be an ordinary night, just like in the past tens or even hundreds of years, and the huge Sword Leaving Palace couldn't be seen too different from usual.

Here, work is always day and night, and in the manor, except for the occasional patrol of monks unhurriedly driving flying swords through the air as high as a tree, the rest are the civilian personnel who constantly shuttle between the various buildings in the manor.

The so-called clerical staff are more likely to work with secretaries of some high-level leaders who are qualified to work in the estate.

In order to avoid being invaded by the IPU through a virtual network to the greatest extent, some important secrets are stolen. At the beginning of the establishment of the whole estate, the advanced and convenient communication system was abandoned, and the various departments communicated with each other, and more relied on these secretaries to pass documents or issue notices to each other in a manual way.

For those who work here, tonight is undoubtedly another sleepless night, a very sparse and ordinary thing.

However, what most people don't know is that on this very night, in the attic of an artificial lake in the very center of the manor, a meeting is going on about the future of the entire planet.

No, it's not appropriate to say that the meeting is going to be, or rather, that it's the release of the task.

A paper world map the size of a basketball court was spread out on the floor of the attic, and around the map, there were nearly 100 high-ranking military and political officials, and at the top stood two people, a man and a woman.

Among them, the man had a very young face, who looked to be in his twenties, with an indissoluble exhaustion on his face, and was only silent the whole time, listening carefully to the young woman beside him pointing at the map, and occasionally pointing out the orders of someone present.

There is no doubt that the man is Zhanbai, who has just finished fifty years of retreat and has not even had time to rest. As for the woman beside him, she is the nominal supreme head of the Ethereal City, and she is known as the empress's qin yin by the outside world.

I have to say that the sound of the piano has been truly practiced for hundreds of years.

Before coming to Earth, Qin Yin was more of a personal secretary of Zhanbai, and with Zhanbai's deliberate cultivation, whether it was his mind or ability, he was greatly improved, and when he was later arranged to manage all the government affairs of the Ethereal City, it only took less than a hundred years to become familiar with it and become more brilliant. In terms of government affairs, efforts have been made to develop the economy and improve the people's livelihood, and in the military, it is even more bold to make bold attempts, so that today's more than 20 million ethereal army can be established. In the political field, in the confrontation with the IPU, it is not lagging behind at all, and even by virtue of the advantage of age, it can always take advantage.

Not to mention anything else, in the past few hundred years, it is a great achievement that many evacuation points under the jurisdiction of the IPU have taken the initiative to break away from the alliance and merge into the Ethereal City. What's more, under the implementation of a series of policies, the level of people's livelihood in the ethereal city has greatly exceeded the average level of the IPU, making the people in the jurisdiction want, and there are very few cases of being bewitched by the IPU and defecting.

And today, Qinyin's prestige is at least in the Ethereal City, it has been unmatched for a while, coupled with its status as a monk, and its eternal beautiful appearance, up to ninety-nine, down to just leaving, I don't know how many men have captured the hearts of men, so that it has been rated as the first place on the goddess list for two hundred consecutive years.

Fortunately, Qin Yin's prestige is more spread among ordinary mortals or a small number of monks with relatively low cultivation, but it will not have much impact on Zhan Bai, who is hidden behind the scenes, and Qin Yin has also mastered a degree well over the years, and rarely interferes in the affairs of the Sword Pavilion, so it has not attracted Zhanbai's suspicion at all, which is also Zhanbai's most assured, and it can also best reflect his intelligence.

For Zhanbai, no matter how large the population of the Ethereal City is, he doesn't pay much attention to it, as long as he still controls the Sword Pavilion, he will never have to worry about Qin Yin being confused by power and giving birth to two hearts.

If you look at the billions of ordinary people in Ethereal City as the foundation, then the Sword Pavilion is the core. Although the foundation is important, and even determines the future potential of the Sword Pavilion, it will never be able to have a real voice.

Together, Zhanbai is undoubtedly better than Qinyin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to put an end to the ridiculous three-legged situation on Earth!!"
