Chapter 70: Spirit Dou City
Contrary to Lin Yueyun's expectations, this trip was not the expected flight, but a carriage was arranged, and it moved forward slowly all the way.
Of course, this "slow and leisurely" is only relative, the carriage arranged by the Thousand Spirits Academy for the empty old man is not a bargain on the side of the road, not to mention anything else, just those few horses are worth a lot of money, but they are a domesticated soul beast, horned scale horses.
This soul beast is much taller than ordinary horses, extremely majestic, with no hair on its dark body, only a layer of fine scale armor, and a faint bulge on the top of its head.
Horned scale horses are not the same as ordinary horses, they are a type of soul beast in their own right. Not very good at attacking, but with pretty good defense. Possess the Gifted Soul Skill Black Scale Protector and Celestial Horn Shield. This kind of soul beast is generally gathered in groups, because its own combat power is not strong, so it rarely appears in the soul beast forest, and most of them live on the grassland.
Their lack of combat effectiveness compensates for them in other ways, and the Horned Scales have excellent stamina, more than three times that of ordinary horses. It's also very fast, and when you run, you can also release the Celestial Horn Shield to protect yourself to reduce drag.
Because this herbivorous soul beast can be domesticated by humans, it has long been the darling of nobles and militaries in various countries, and it is said that there is a top cavalry legion in the empire that uses horned scale horses as mounts.
Due to the limitations of its own talent, it is difficult for the horned scale horse to become a powerful soul beast, and generally only the ten-year soul beast level can be seen, and the price of the hundred-year level will be raised to another level, as for the thousand-year-level horned scale horse, it is a priceless existence, and it is very popular with military generals. As for the ...... of 10,000 years and above, they are almost non-existent in the Horned Scaly Horse group, and they do not have the potential to evolve to that level. Although they have a trace of the blood of the legendary super soul beast unicorn, there is only a small trace of it. As for the legendary unicorn that existed at the same level as the Divine Dragon, it was more like a legend.
And this carriage is a symbol of the high-level travel of the Thousand Souls Academy, and the two horned scale horses pulling the carriage are both at the level of hundred-year-old soul beasts, and they are easy to feed on weekdays, which looks very powerful and extraordinary.
It is not uncommon to domesticate some docile soul beasts as mounts or pets, in fact, nobles like to show their strength in this way, and some big forces even tame some fierce soul beasts to take care of their homes.
Even in the Thousand Souls Academy, there are some herbivorous low-level soul beasts domesticated, and there are small herbivorous soul beasts such as rabbits in the back mountains, Lin Yueyun also specially made a small vegetable garden near his residence to attract these little guys to come over for activities, at first it was very lively, there are often little rabbits running here, and they are not afraid of people, they are very cute, but since once Lu Renyi's guy came over and grabbed one and planned to roast and eat it, they rarely came over.
The master who drove the car was also a soul master of the academy, named Zhang Shun, a soul master of the Soul Sect level of the Assault Department, not a teacher of the academy, but a member of the school's field office.
Although the strength is not very strong, but it is not for him to be a bodyguard, if you really want to arrange a bodyguard for Kong Lao, the entire Qianling Academy can't find anyone, after all, Kong Lao is the strongest person in the academy, he is just responsible for arranging food and living along the way, and he is clever enough in this regard.
It is impossible for the old man to travel in the air, it is impossible for him to make the old man have to bow down to his family, this is a special arrangement for a soul sect to be in charge of these, so the journey along the way is very pleasant, everything has been arranged in advance, Lin Yueyun has a good experience of a trip with public funds.
Along the way, Kong Lao briefly explained to Lin Yueyun the stories of the cities he passed by, where there was a Title Douluo, where there was a big force that eventually collapsed, he can be said to know all this, he lived to be ninety-seven years old, he is well-informed, he himself is a history book.
Lin Yueyun listened to it with relish, he was still very interested in these, so this trip was quite pleasant, some troubles can be temporarily abandoned, and enjoy the scenery and stories of the journey, of course, as well as the special food arranged by Zhang Shun.
The speed of the horned scale horse was far beyond that of ordinary horses, and the location of the Thousand Spirits Academy was not so remote, so in less than two days, the carriage arrived at Spirit Dou City, an imperial city with thousands of years.
Of course, before it became an imperial city, this was actually a large city, otherwise the Douling Empire would not choose to establish a new imperial city here, so the real history of this city is even longer.
After the announcement, the carriage entered Spirit Dou City very smoothly.
As the imperial capital of the Thousand Spirits Empire, it is naturally very prosperous, Lin Yueyun has been to Shrek City, which is a place where merchants from all over the world gather, perhaps the degree of prosperity is even greater than that of Spirit Dou City, but as an imperial city, the bearing here is not found in Shrek City.
The imperial city is the core of an empire, representing the most powerful power of an empire, condensing the customs of the entire empire, and whether a country is strong or not, you can peek at it from here.
Although the Douling Empire is the weakest of the four empires, the geographical location is very good, the north is the extreme north, and the ice soul beasts inside are dangerous, but at most, a wave of beast tides occasionally erupts, and it is impossible to invade them, after all, the main force in the extreme north is the ice soul beasts, and they don't like the outside environment. To the west is Shrek City, if other empires want to attack from this side, the army must pass under the nose of Shrek Academy, for Shrek, who has been trying to keep the peace, it is impossible to remain indifferent, this is an extra barrier out of thin air.
Judging from the border alone, the biggest danger comes from the Heavenly Soul Empire, which was one family thousands of years ago, and the dispute over Tiandou orthodoxy has never stopped, and the royal families on both sides claim to be Tiandou orthodoxy and have been arguing endlessly.
However, next to the Heavenly Soul Empire is the old opponent of the Star Luo Empire, which has been in constant friction since the period of the Wuhun Palace, at that time the Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling were still a complete Heaven Dou Empire, but they were still pressed and beaten by the Star Luo Empire, and it was even more difficult to face the powerful Star Luo Empire after the split, so when the Sun and Moon Empire had not yet invaded, although the Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling had been clamoring for a showdown, they actually joined forces to fight against the Star Luo Empire.
And after the invasion of the Sun and Moon Empire, Xingluo is on the bar with that side, and now the main army is at the junction with the Sun and Moon Empire, but the Heavenly Soul Empire also borders the Sun and Moon Empire, and it can be said that it is surrounded by the Sun and Moon, Xingluo, and Lingdou, so the relationship between the two is actually not bad now, the Heavenly Soul Empire is afraid that there will be another front here, and the pressure is too great to bear, and the Douling Empire is also worried that the Heavenly Soul Empire may be cool without itself, and the two empires have some tacit understanding.
At present, generally speaking, the three major empires have joined forces to deal with the Sun and Moon Empire, and the small frictions between each other can be put down. The Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire are blocking in front, while the Spirit Fighting Empire is providing material support, and at the same time hiding behind and developing obscenely, it can be said that it is a good starting point for farming, but it seems that the development effect of the Fighting Spirit Empire is not very good, and you can only see a state of happiness in one place.
