To the southwest of the Sanctuary, near the sea, there is a wasteland. This wasteland borders the capital province and is about three times the size of the capital province.

A huge bottomless ravine, two cloud-connected mountains, artificially cut off the connection between this wasteland and the culture of Middle-earth.

When the first explorer set foot on the wasteland, he was greeted by a severed stone tablet with knife marks and the faint ancient inscription "Ragnarok Battlefield".

There are no history books that record the war known as Ragnarok, so no one can say who left Wang Lu at the place where the stone monument was placed.

As more and more Middle-earthers set foot on the lands of the wasteland, the wasteland became part of the territory of the Kirin Pilgrim.

But the Pilgrimage never really ruled the wasteland.

The terrain of the wasteland is dominated by desert, grassland and woodland, and there are two uncivilized aboriginal tribes, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the land is barren, the mountains are fenced and the ravines block the way, and there is no development and utilization value.

Although when the Qilin Holy Dynasty was first established, the vassal king of this wasteland was divided, but soon the vassal king of the wasteland resigned from the fief for health reasons; The local tribes were very closed and unwilling to associate with the Middle-earth Dynasty, let alone accept the feudals. Therefore, it is not feasible to govern the government, and it is even more unfeasible to establish an official government and a yamen in the wasteland, and the cost is even greater than the loss. The wasteland became borderlands.

Over time, people named the borderlands the Lost Wasteland.

Until Wen Bo issued the "Crying Blood Order".

"Uncle, what is "Crying Blood Order"." Wang Zuo thought that Chongsheng would continue to speak, but he didn't expect Chongsheng to stop abruptly after hearing Xiang Meng's blood crying order, and then he didn't say a word, and Wang Zuo asked nervously under curiosity.

"About "Weeping Blood Order", Lao Tzu will tell you, Lao Tzu does not speak like a nobleman, with a literary tone." Xiang Meng originally wanted to say sour, but when he thought of Chongsheng's identity, he changed it to Wenqi.

"Okay, uncle, tell me about it."

"I'll give you an analogy, Wen Bo's policy of cutting feudal domains to put it bluntly is a dueling arena with referees. Have you ever been to the Colosseum of Haotian City? Xiang Meng asked Wang Zuo.

"Uncle, I haven't been anywhere except Yucheng."

"In this gladiatorial battle set up by Wen Bo, all the feudal kingdoms are gladiators, and the holy dynasty is the referee, no matter how you manage the subject people, as long as you are obedient, and the task of the feudal kingdom is to kill each other, and it is a single fight that cannot be allied, and any feudal country that kills more than three opponents, the referee will take action to kill you. Until there is one feudal kingdom left in the gladiatorial arena, or a few disabled feudal kingdoms, the holy dynasty as the referee will destroy all the feudal kingdoms involved in the gladiatorial battle. This gladiatorial battle has only one purpose, to eliminate all participants. This is Wen Bo's administration of cutting the domain, nobleman, do you think my analogy is right? Xiang Meng looked at Chongsheng after speaking.

Chongsheng didn't expect Xiang Meng's analogy to be so appropriate and easy to understand. Xiang Meng seemed to be more suitable to talk to Wang Zuo than himself, so he smiled and nodded.

"And this lost wasteland, to put it bluntly, is a piece of carrion, if you don't eat hungry, your stomach will hurt, but if you are hungry, this thing can satisfy your hunger, there are always starving ghosts in the world who don't want to die. Wen Bo's "Crying Blood Order" is equivalent to turning the Lost Wasteland into a death arena without referees, there are no rules, just fight to the death, how many kills are up to you, do you understand? ”

Wang Zuo shook his head in confusion.

"What a stupid! Wen Bo's guy divided the land of the Lost Wasteland into twenty cities, and sold them openly at a clear price, and the buyers were not divided into high and low, and even the guilty could be exonerated as long as they bought the people of the Lost Wasteland City. Whoever buys the Lost Wasteland can do whatever they want on their own land, and there is no law governing you, as long as you pay a high tax every year after three years of buying the city. Lao Tzu really suspects that Wen Bo's kid was not a quack but a profiteer before he became an official, and he was really good at making money. ”

"Isn't this just freedom to rent? Rent out the house in separate rooms, and only collect the rent money, regardless of what you do with the house. Wang Zuo suddenly realized when he heard this.

"That's right! Originally, the Lost Wasteland was vast and sparsely populated, and there were few birdmen, but it was said in the "Weeping Blood Order" that except for the death row prisoners sentenced by the Holy Dynasty Punishment Institute, other death row prisoners only need to pay three hundred taels of silver to avoid death stabbing and match the Lost Wasteland. In addition, as long as the people in the slave nationality are not afraid of death and move to the lost wasteland, they will automatically leave the slave territory. So there are a lot of people in the Lost Wasteland now. ”

"What kind of death row inmates are the condemned prisoners of the Holy Dynasty Torture Institute?" Wang Zuo asked curiously.

"Rebel! The person the Holy Emperor himself wanted to kill. Don't you interrupt Lao Tzu's words all the time and ask non-stop, I forgot where I went. Xiang Meng said viciously to Wang Zuo, and Wang Zuo was so frightened that he quickly shut up.

"Speaking of the Twenty Cities of the Lost Wasteland, it is really a hell of sin, full of outlaws. As soon as the "Crying Blood Order" was promulgated, some rich gentry wanted to get rid of the addiction of the emperor of the soil, and some rich nobles wanted to get rid of their crimes because they had committed crimes, so they all ran to buy the city of the lost wasteland, and for a period of time even twenty cities were sold out. But in fact, it is not that simple. Right, nobleman. Xiang Meng showed a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to Chongsheng.

"That's right! The Lost Wasteland is almost indistinguishable from the Wilderness, and the so-called city may be just ruins and rubble. If you buy a city and become the lord of a city, you must also have the ability to rule over the people of your city, or more appropriately, the thugs. The Lost Wasteland is respected by the strong, and the status of the city lord who bought it will not receive any form of protection from the Holy Dynasty, and every inch of land needs to be exchanged for your own blood. Even if you conquer those condemned prisoners, even if you have other city lords around you, even if you persist in the brutality inside and outside, the offerings of the poor and weak, and the harvest of those barren lands will not be enough to pay the expensive taxes of the holy pilgrimage. The vast majority of city lords are those who bought the city and ran away, and there are also people who survived for three years, but were deprived of the status of city lord because they could not pay taxes, and very few city lords can hold on to it. Chongsheng took over and said, the expression on his face became more and more heavy.

"There are five city lords who have maintained their rule in the Lost Wasteland for more than ten years. For example, the King of Joy and the Marquis of the Eagle's Nest. There is no law in the city of the king of rejoicing, and he may kill and plunder at will. And the city of the Eagle's Nest is even more terrible than hell, and all people are slaves and livestock. In addition to these city lords, there are countless outcasts and bandits, who wander on the edge of the world, in the company of wild beasts, eat people and rob, and do all kinds of evil. In the Lost Wasteland, any good is a scarce thing, and any horror is something that can be seen everywhere, such as the plague that has broken out for several years in a row, such as the wind, flying sand and water, such as the brutal beasts of the ancient era. ”

"Isn't that dangerous?" There was a faint sense of excitement on Wang Zuo's face when he asked.

"What's more than danger? If it hadn't been for the big boss who saved me, Lao Tzu would have almost died in the Lost Wasteland! Xiang Meng said emotionally.

"Uncle, I originally thought that you should be able to do a big business, but I didn't think that the business you are going to do is much bigger than I thought! Looks like we're going to make a big profit! Wang Zuo clapped his hands after speaking, and he could see that he had an irrepressible excitement.

"You're not afraid of this kid? Whether you understand us or not, your master is likely to go to a hellish place like the Lost Wasteland to buy a city. Xiang Meng asked with some surprise.

"Don't be afraid! The blind man said that wealth is in danger, since it is such a dangerous place, then wealth is naturally indispensable! Wang Zuo said with a smile.

"Rich and dangerous? It has been said that whoever can conquer the Lost Wasteland can conquer the whole of Middle-earth! Boy, though, the darkness and danger of the Lost Wasteland is far from what you can imagine. Xiang Meng patted Wang Zuo's shoulder.

"Conquer the Lost Wasteland to conquer Middle-earth? Uncle is uncle, it turns out that uncle's mind is much farther than mine! Wang Zuo smiled happily.

"Whether I can survive at that time is a question, if I wasn't in prison, I wouldn't have taken the risk and chose such a comeback." Chongsheng said with a wry smile, admitting that he would choose to buy land in the Lost Wasteland.

"But it's the simplest, most direct, and most powerful way to make a comeback." Kurong said as he pinched the hilt of the knife at his waist, the Lost Wasteland was once a place that made him so heroic and fearful, and now their goal was the hell on earth full of sin and danger.
