While the three generations sent people to start looking for Chiba, Chiba had already settled in that huge city.

The city, called Rock City, is the largest city in the Eastern Continent, with a permanent population of nearly one million. This is a very terrifying number, which is already comparable to the population of many small cities in Houxia. And in this world, the population of one million people is already about the same size as a country.

It's hard to imagine that such a city can let go of so many people. What is even more unimaginable is that the city's administrators did not rely on the demographic dividend to expand outward, despite having such a large population. It seems that this place is simply a place for the defeated and the frustrated.

The place where Chiba lives is a guesthouse, and because there are many merchants here, the homestay industry here is extremely developed. You can see all kinds of signboards all over the street, and Qian Yu randomly chose one of the B&Bs that looked quite clean, and after paying a year's rent, he finally settled in the city.

Through talking to the owner of the B&B, he learned more about the city.

First of all, the administrator of this city is the patriarch or elder of the twelve former big families, these twelve families, have disappeared in the long river of history, they do not like to fight, and they are not willing to continue to fight, so the city was established here, so that more homeless people can live here.

Of course, these twelve people were not such a scale at the beginning, it is said that only three people originally built the city here, and the remaining nine people were constantly filled in the later period. Each of the twelve had his own aspect of responsibility, and the leader of the twelve was held by them in turn. Each is appointed for a term of three years, after which it must be rotated.

If one of the twelve dies, their deputies take their place, and the ruling structure of the twelve is called the council. The Council of Twelve, in fact, is no longer the original Twelve, the longest-lived, or finally thought to be the Speaker, died five years ago, and he was replaced by his son, who was also the most elite young man under his command.

Of course, power is sometimes abused, so in order to prevent abuse of power, in addition to the 12 speakers, there are more than 100 councillors. These councillors come from all walks of life in the city, and in the event of a death or resignation, a new one is made to supplement them.

And the duty of these councillors, in addition to the daily work and maintenance of such a city, is to supervise the twelve speakers above. If anyone determines that a speaker is abusing his or her power for personal gain, an impeachment can be initiated and voted on by all members. If the vote exceeds 60 percent, the speaker will be removed from office and his successor will be elected according to the normal pattern.

In short, there is no such thing as a perfect form of government, but a system like Rock City can avoid official malfeasance and corruption with the largest possible request. And if a major bill is related to the future of the whole city, it must be voted on by all the speakers and councillors, because the councillors come from all walks of life, they may be businessmen, doctors, and more importantly, teachers, so it is difficult to form a force that can be used exclusively by someone.

So, the reason why this city has existed for so long and no one has come to attack here, and they have not gone out to attack anyone else, is very obvious - more than 90 percent of the people who can come here are tired of fighting, and the remaining 10 percent may not be able to make any waves.

In short, the city is a place where the rest of the world is intended.

And in this city, there are several very important organizations that every newcomer must know.

One of them is the garrison, the three men who stopped Chiba before, and their duty is to be responsible for the day-to-day peace and stability of the city, and it is the most extensive and largest organization in the city outside of the parliament.

The second is the city guards, as we call them, they are responsible for the external defense of the city, and once there is an invasion of foreign enemies, they are the most direct group of people to resist the enemy. The guards at the gates of the city are the men of the city guards.

In addition to this, there are research institutes, medical centers, transport fleets, and so on...... Because of the size of the city, these institutions have also expanded in size, and there are many branches scattered around, which are also the most important organizations in the city.

In addition to these necessary organizations, there is another organization that the owner of the B&B specifically mentioned, and that is the dueling meeting.

Duel will be considered the most powerful of the non-essential organizations, and it is also the one with the largest audience. As I said before, the people who come here are all defeated and frustrated, but they all have a common identity...... Homeless people.

Home is a very sacred word, and even people who don't like fighting will give everything for their home. But these people, their homes are gone, and they are in the city all day long, and the newcomers are often like wandering ghosts, and they may not be able to integrate into this environment for a year or two.

These people are the most unstable group in the city, and they are also the source of all kinds of chaos.

In the final analysis, it is the destruction of their families that makes them lose the goal of survival, and at the same time, the anger in their hearts will grow endlessly, if they are left alone, what will happen to these people in the end, not to say, but among them, more than 99% of them will become thieves, strong, criminals, etc., which have no life goals and self-abandonment is one thing, and revenge against society and revenge on others is another.

The dueling meeting was established in response to this problem.

The first thing the dueling would do was to set up a dueling platform at the edge of the square in front of the town hall in the center of the city. Brawls are not allowed in the city, and anyone who wants to vent their frustration can go to the dueling ring. In addition to not killing people and maiming people, there are no rules on the dueling table, and you can let go of the fight.

Moreover, the person in charge of acting as a referee is also a powerful warrior, and they can always intervene at the right time to avoid real fire on both sides, which can cause irreparable damage and mistakes.

Because of this, most people have been on the dueling ring, and after venting all kinds of dissatisfaction in their hearts, they have started a new life. Of course, there are a few people who will still be the same as before even if they go to the dueling table, this kind of person, then I am very sorry. There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and you deserve to be cleaned up.

In short, this city, on the surface, looks chaotic, but in fact, the rules and regulations are very similar to the earth, although there are still shortcomings, but for such a world, it is not easy to achieve this level.

"So young man, has your clan been destroyed by the enemy? If you have any discomfort in your heart, you can go to the dueling platform to duel, according to your strength, the dueling table will send opponents of different degrees, if your strength is strong enough, even the dueling meeting itself will send someone to help you out of the predicament. ”

The owner of the B&B, a middle-aged man who was a little grateful, said very sincerely.

"No, not long after I was born, I was the only one left in my family, and I have long been used to this kind of life over the years...... However, I still want to go to the dueling table to have a look, if not for anything else, even if it is to improve my strength, this is also a good way. ”

"Yes, in fact, many people still go to the dueling ring to duel people after they already have a good life, and they want to make themselves stronger like you. You can give it a try, and if you're doing really well, the garrison or the city guard might be able to take you in. If you can join the garrison or the city guard, you may be one of the managers of the city in the future. ”

The owner of the B&B said with a smile.

Of course, what he said was just a joke, and at most it was a comforting word.

Qian Yu didn't take it seriously, even if he really had such an opportunity, he didn't want to join the city guard or the garrison, he didn't want to become the manager of this city, he didn't have such ability. In contrast, he still prefers to stay in Konoha Village, some carefree, some worryless, some free, some comfortable, how good?

However, it is certain to go to the dueling table, and this is also one of his goals.

Early the next morning, Chiba arrived at the office of the Duel Society, a four-story building that was the office of the Duel Society. I entered the lobby on the first floor and registered at the reception place. His match was quickly scheduled, at 3 p.m., at a dueling ring not far from his residence.

There are several duels there today, in fact, the dueling platform in the square in front of the town hall has not been used for a long time, it is the center of power in the city, it should be a solemn place, but a dueling platform has been made, and every day it is dead and alive, and the head is bleeding, which is really unsightly.

After signing up smoothly and having nothing to do for the time being, Qian Yu walked out of the building and came to the vicinity of the dueling platform.

There is currently a battle going on on the stage, and one of the two sides of the battle is actually a woman. She looks pretty good, but there is a long scar on her face, which extends from her forehead to her chin, destroying all the charm on her face, leaving only a murderous aura.

She was wearing a red tight-fitting leather armor, with a bumpy figure, holding two daggers in her hands, flying up and down, like two flower butterflies, beautiful at the same time, with a strong murderous intent.

Of course, killing people is not allowed, so this killing machine is only made up by Qianyu's own brain.

Opposite her was a teenager who looked to be only a teenager, with a thin body and no flesh on his body, but his thin body not only did not become an obstacle to his battle, on the contrary, because his body was very light, the boy moved quickly.

But his weapon is a bit exaggerated, it is actually a giant sword the size of the door panel, just looking at the young man with a sword is struggling, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is any feeling of combat effectiveness.

But in fact, the situation on the scene at this time is that the teenager is more dominant.

It's true that he's thin, and he doesn't have much strength, but that doesn't mean he can't wield a greatsword. On the contrary, he can swing. And relying on the inertia of his body when he rotated, his giant sword became a windmill-like existence in his hand. The whole person kept spinning in the dueling arena, like a spinning top from one side to the other, from that side to this side, and where the blade swung it, the air was torn apart, making a whirring sound.

The beauty in red had to retreat to dodge, and at the same time took out various small hidden weapons from her waist and kept shooting at the boy. And the boy, if he can dodge, he will hide, and when he can't dodge, he will stop suddenly, and erect the giant sword like a door panel, because the body is thin, but the whole person can hide behind the sword very easily, and all the hidden weapons can't hurt a bit.

Let's put it this way, both of them belong to the kind of people who kill with one hit, but at the same time, they will be killed with one hit, so although the battle scene is gorgeous, the two do not have any substantive contact. But this does not prevent the people around from cheering, ordinary people can not see the various dangers and comforts in the battle between the two, they just look at the scene is very handsome, and they feel very powerful.

Qian Yu looked at the side and couldn't help but shake his head.

If his prediction was right, the woman in red would eventually fail, because the space was limited, and no matter how much she dodged, in the face of a windmill-like attack, the place to dodge was still very limited. Although the windmill is quite physically demanding, the boy doesn't look like he can last a long time, but it's also very laborious to dodge, in fact, the victory or defeat of the two mainly depends on the physical condition.

Whoever has more physical strength will be able to win, and vice versa.

And the teenager ...... After all, men are born with more stamina than women, so if nothing else, the teenager will win.

However, this situation only exists in the case of no accidents, in fact, accidents often occur in battle.

For example, when the young man forced the woman in red into a corner again, the woman in red stepped on the pillar next to her, and the whole person rose into the air and was about to fall in the opposite direction.

But on the ground, she will shoot a handful of flying to force the boy to stop attacking and defend.

It has been like this several times before, so this time, it should be like this in theory, but on the contrary, when the woman in red provoked it again, although she once again threw out a large handful of fragmentary hidden weapons, Qian Yu instantly saw something different from the raindrops of hidden weapons.

It's a metal wire, and when you look along the metal wire, the tip is actually a small hook.

The boy didn't notice this at all, and he still subconsciously used the giant sword as a shield to block the hidden weapon.

But the little hook claw snapped to the edge of the giant sword, and then the woman in red gave force to her arm, and then the rope behind the hook changed direction in mid-air and took the initiative to pounce on the boy. But the boy looked at each other blankly as if he was stupid, and didn't dodge at all.
