Chapter 136: Trade Unions
It's still the same as it was ten years ago, and nothing has changed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the moment of entering the temple, it is as if you have stepped into a forgotten time.
From Sauron's point of view, the ceiling overhead is painted with ancient and mysterious patterns, all of which are dark colors. Surrounded by sixteen magnificent stone pillars. It was covered with dark green vines, and in some places covered with darker moss, about ten centimeters thick.
The flickering glow on the wall lamps was played with by the faint wind, as if there was a gloomy and desolate atmosphere all around.
It was here, as Sauron remembered, that the Elven Queen Yolan reached into the pool in the center of the temple with her snow-white arms, held up a box, and showed the heart of nature, officially declaring that the Wood Elves would be loyal to her.
Follow the steps. Straight up to the top of the building.
A tree is planted on the white countertop, which is shrouded in moonlight, casting a shadow over the cold platform.
The Glorious Queen stood in the shadows, her nose showing only her scarlet, and she looked at the exit of the staircase, as if she was not quite sure, "Is that you?" ”
Removing the invisibility barrier, at the empty exit, Zoro and the little dryad waterdrop stood in the moonlight.
Gradually, in the pupils of the water droplets dilated in shock. A layer of transparent vesicles washed away the color of Zoro's hair, and as his pupils rolled, it all turned a terrifying silvery-white.
This reminded Shui Zhu of the statues she had seen before.
"It's me! Zoro. ”
Puff -
Finally, hearing the conversation of the glorious queen of Sauron Jade, the little dryad fainted.
……
The Glorious Queen strode out of the shadows. From her eyebrows, a strong feeling can be seen in it.
A pair of sparkling eyes, under the thick eyelashes, stared closely at Zoro's face. It was as if she was recognizing him too. "It's been ten years, and you haven't changed at all."
"Gah-"
A huge black crow from the shoulders of the Glorious Queen. It flew onto Zoro's arm.
If Sauron was a little surprised that the Glorious Queen was able to show himself just now, his brows stretched out after seeing this old fellow.
"Having a life of 6oo years is indeed a long aging process." Sauron's gaze was fixed on the bird of death, as he responded to the glorious queen's words.
He stroked his smooth black feathers, and at some point, the moon hid.
The sky began to rain.
A fine rain fell on Aaron's head and body.
He couldn't help but look up on his back, close his eyes, and open his mouth to taste the little raindrops, and suddenly, he felt that some things were very sweet, but unfortunately they were very short and hazy after all......
"You really don't want to ...... anymore"
Sauron's gaze was fixed on the Glorious Queen, and he suddenly omitted the words that followed.
At this time, it fell into his sight. I saw that the Glorious Queen's eyes were black and white, and she shook her head, giving people a very firm feeling.
"I love the forest and the buildings. Would love to live with these dryads as well,...... I've gotten the tranquility I want and never want to go out again. ”
When the Glorious Queen continued to open her mouth to speak, her snow-white teeth were like pearls that glittered with brilliance.
The warmth of the raindrops, not just like kisses, fell on her head and body, making her fair cheeks shine with a more ruddy luster.
After standing for about five minutes, Sauron turned and left.
This abrupt scene made the glorious queen a little out of control, but she still controlled her leaning forward, and the lines of the two nasolabial folds looked a little stiff, "You...... Will you still leave? ”
The footsteps at the entrance of the aisle paused, and Zoro didn't look back, just said two words, "Maybe!" ”
………………
Following.
City of Nature.
"The god of the sky can give you everything, and at the same time, he can take everything away."
Standing in the main hall of the city lord of nature, Worf, the king of the wolf clan, has a deep understanding of this.
Losing the divine power of the sub-god clan, he turned back into the hideous-looking old wolf clan. Moreover, he deeply felt that he would not be able to survive the next decade.
In the palm of the sharp clawed hand, he holds a gold medal in the form of a rectangular sheet with rounded corners. Wolf's heart was hesitant, nervous, scared, even frightened. With a 100,000-strong wolf legion in his hands, Wolf King felt like a sinner waiting to be executed at the moment.
"Worf, you've disappointed me a bit...
Suddenly, as soon as the familiar voice exploded in his ears, Worf nervously stood up all the hairs on his body. And the panic of the blow made him scream, and even the gold medal in his hand fell to the ground.
"Whew--"
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of wolf warriors covered in steel armor rushed in, but they appeared in the entire hall. Only the king of the wolf clan.
Plop.
The lord of Nature's City, the king of the wolf clan, Worf, knelt on the ground. And showed his fierce fangs at the wolf warriors who rushed into the main hall, and snorted coldly, "Get out of here!" ”
The elite warriors of the wolf clan, who couldn't touch the edge, all withdrew from the main hall. A black crow stood on the armrest of the city lord's pure gold throne.
This made Wolf instinctively kowtow towards the seat. I felt that my whole body was staring at me with a pair of thunderbolts.
Wolf's gaping pupils were filled with terror.
After all, as the king of the wolf clan, after a while, he was stunned for a moment, and exhaled quickly and spasmodically. Prayer respectfully, "Great God of the Sky, Lord of the Wolves of Nature, Wolf, follow your will unto death!" ”
The voice in the void was silent for a long time before he sighed, "The changes in the past ten years are as amazing as a hundred years. A rude and savage wolf tone would say something like this. ”
Maintains the invisibility barrier. Sauron's mouth was slightly outlined, staring at Worf at his feet, showing interest.
Although this old wolf is becoming more and more hypocritical like a human, he has to admit it. His abilities deserve recognition. Ten years later, what was once a deserted city of nature has become a thriving city with a population of one million.
"Alright, Wolf. Now you should confess that you secretly forged weapons with the dwarf king at the bottom of the mountain. The intention to secretly train the army. The 100,000 wolf clan legion has expanded twice unknowingly, I believe you have a good explanation. ”
Bean-sized sweat. The fine hairs on the forehead of the king of the wolf clan were soaked and turned into droplets, dripping on the smooth marble floor.
Although he had found good enough excuses and reasons in the two-hour debriefing and explanation, even the slightest distrust of the god of the sky made him feel that there were thousands of pounds pressing on his chest, and something in his head had burst and shattered.
In the end, when the black bird would disappear and when the god of the sky would leave, Worf had no idea, and remained motionless until he fell to his knees for most of the night, before he moved his stiff and senseless legs.
"Your neck, your ?? king"
Later, under the reminder of the elite warriors of the wolf clan, Wolf appeared, and there was a narrow blood mark on the back of his neck.
The depth of this blood mark is terrifying, it doesn't feel the slightest abnormality, but it has just left a blood mark.
This mysterious and terrifying cold touch from the god of the sky immediately frightened him into a dead end.
………………
The city of nature, the natural square in front of the court of the wolf king.
Evie, Faye, Breiten, Basilt, and the maiden Tammy, whom they had rescued from the slave traders, were all five people who stayed here. While chatting, we looked at this majestic city of prosperity and peace.
After a night and half a day of light rain, I looked up, and the sky at this time was a faint blue, sometimes floating clouds, and clumps of cotton wool like white.
"It's a hard truth to accept. Compared to the wild, it's like being in two worlds. Look here, even the beggars on the side of the road are happy. I really feel the urge to join them than in the dangerous wilderness. Although there is no status to speak of, at least there is no need to risk everywhere. ”
Bretten's complaint was recognized by the group.
The prosperity of the Imperial City can be imagined from the City of Nature.
Looking at the wolf soldiers standing in the square from afar, the breeze blowing their soft fur, in the orderly city, the werewolf soldiers squinted their eyes and walked leisurely all the way.
"It's a pity, that's what I said. But how often do you want to be a beggar, Briiten, and if you want to do that, I'll buy you a bowl at once. Basilt took a sip of a wine he had bought from the street, squinting at the harmony of the fountain, the breeze, and the sky, as he joked to his companion.
Briiten squinted at Bassett, "Do you have to be honest with me?" ”
Listening to the of the two, only Tammy was listening.
Faye, the fat man who usually talks the most, behaved very abnormally today and didn't say a word. His eyes were on Evie the whole time.
Faye, Evie's eyes were empty, she had been staring in the direction of the entrance to the square, and she had been wandering, as if she was expecting something.
In Faye's opinion, the person Evie was looking forward to would not necessarily appear. After all, compared to each other, everyone's status level difference is too far away.
Woo woo woo - -
At this moment, a loud roar broke the tranquility of the natural square and the entire natural city. And with a large number of elite warriors of the wolf clan, they flocked to the natural square like a swarm of bees, expelling all the people, making Evie, Faye and the other four people change their faces.
"What was born?"
Seeing the entire City of Nature plunged into turmoil, and many people whispering fragmentary words such as 'Green Road Holy City', 'Disappearing Out of Thin Air', and 'Celestial Wrath', this was a common question in the minds of the four people.
……
The Sky Empire has the most extensive territory and territory.
But in this huge empire, the number of cities is only a handful, and the entire barbaric continent probably will not exceed ten. But the size and environment of each city, as well as the security of the city, leave nothing to say.
Imperial citizens can get food from Imperial slaves and wealth from freemen. And for people who do not have citizenship, it means that there is no such distribution.
Ordinary freedmen could also be protected by the Empire as long as they accepted the status of high-class slaves. But the life of ordinary life is only slightly better than that of inferior slaves.
Young and brave, free people who are not willing to be ordinary, need to take risks and fight, in order to win glory and wealth.
Organizations such as bounty hunters and mercenary unions, which have emerged in recent years, are the way out. Obviously, Evie and the other four are such people.
"The royal palace area, including the square, is under martial law! Now, get out of this area! ”
The two-meter-tall wolf general, covered in steel armor, roared at the crowd in the entire square.
Later, more wolf soldiers wearing ten-inch steel claws took control of the entire square.
Mixed in with the hustle and bustle of the crowd, Evie, Breiten, Basette, Faye, and Tammy, try to stay together as much as possible to escape the square without being swept away by the rioting crowd.
"What the hell happened?"
As the flow of people came out of the square, Faye was almost out of breath.
It's just that everyone in the same company is like him, with a blank face.
At this moment, an indifferent voice clearly reached the ears of the group, "It is said that the Holy City of the Green Road is gone. ”
"It's you!?"
Now Zoro stood less than a meter in front of him and suddenly appeared at the corner, and Evie and the others exclaimed.
Among them, what caught Feye's attention was the smile on Evie's face, like a cool spring flowing through it.
"It's over, our girl, I'm afraid I'm in love with this Holy Order warrior." Faye snorted inwardly, a distinctly wry smile on his face.
Compared to a handsome, powerful, and powerful sub-god clan, he felt that he didn't have any chances. Without a doubt, Faye was the one who loved Evie the most in the group. Otherwise, as a nobleman in the Eastern Kingdom of Middle-earth, he would not have risked his life to come to the Sky Empire.
Zoro nodded to Evie. Make it smile coolly. Live like a blooming rose.
It is undeniable that when she sees Sauron again, Evie has an uncontrollable excitement and joy in her heart, and her heart does not know what to do, like a sudden horse's hooves.
"Oh my God, that's true. You see, the Holy City of Greenway...... It's really gone?? ”
Following the direction of Bretten's finger, the group was now following on a hill. The magnificent holy city on the high ground, as if steamed, disappeared without a trace.
"We have to get off the street. Tonight, a curfew will be imposed throughout the City of Nature. At that time, there will be 300,000 wolf legions, which will be assembled in the city of nature. ”
A bombshell piece of news from Zoro when several people had been demented and looked at the direction of the Disappearing Greenway Holy City had not yet come to their senses, and they fell into petrification again.
"Three, three hundred thousand wolf clan legions, how is it possible?"
Immediately following the group's steps as they were about to leave the street, Bretten let out a painless "shenyin".
……
Bounty Hunter Guild.
It's more appropriate to say it's a large tavern than a hall.
Between the dense tables and chairs, the waiters are shuttling quickly with wine. From time to time, there was the sound of scolding, talking and laughing, the sound of cups colliding, and the prodigal laughter of "jinv". (To be continued.) )
