Chapter 703: One City, Two Lords

As the first gateway to the western realm of the jackdaw, Qiutan City has the reputation of the first level of the jackdaw.

The reason for this statement is naturally related to the architectural style of Qiutan City, which is made of obsidian from the western realm of the Jackdaws, and the city walls are more than 100 zhang high, with the title of flying birds not crossing.

In addition, the entire city occupies a very huge area, if you use Maple Grove City as a comparison, it is at least as huge as dozens of Maple Grove Cities.

Even in the entire territory of Jackdaw, this Qiutan City is also a giant city second only to the royal capital.

Even when the Jackdaw was founded at the beginning, this Qiutan City also existed for a period of time as the capital of the Jackdaw, and a hundred years ago, the lord of the Jackdaw country decided to move the capital for some reason, and now the capital of the Jackdaw country is set in the current first city of the Jackdaw, the Acropolis.

These are all records in the Tibetan scriptures, and Lin Chen, who has already engraved all the records in the Tibetan scriptures in his mind, is naturally very clear.

Retracting his thoughts, his eyes were fixed on the tall city gate in front of him, the guards at the gate had a serious face, and pedestrians who came and went would be checked, and soon, it was Lin Chen's turn.

But when the guards in front were about to inspect Lin Chen, a shocking wave of dust suddenly rose from behind, and then there was more sound in the ears.

"Get out of the way!"

The silver-armored cavalry riding on top of the spirit beast had a cold voice, with a thick killing intent in it, as if if they dared to stop it, they would even kill it directly.

Seeing this, everyone queuing at the city gate hurriedly let go of their bodies, and no one dared to stop them, even the guards stood up straight, their eyes full of respect.

Lin Chen naturally didn't look for trouble for himself, just stood aside and stared at the approaching convoy.

The team that was completely powered by spirit beasts exuded a bloodthirsty aura all over its body, and the moment it skipped the team, it brought a strong chill and a strong sense of oppression.

In the center of the line was a jade chariot, and the person sitting inside could not see clearly, but could detect the powerful aura that permeated the person's body.

Lin Chen frowned slightly: "It's a little interesting." ”

"Shut up!"

As soon as the voice came out, the guards on the side spoke in a deep voice, and their sharp eyes glared at Lin Chen viciously.

Seeing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but a young man dressed in Rushan behind him pulled Lin Chen and motioned him not to say more.

Lin Chen simply closed his mouth, and after undergoing the inspection, he successfully entered Qiutan City, and after passing the city gate, his eyes fell on the young man wearing Rushan behind him.

"Just now?"

"Brother Tai shouldn't be a local, right?"

Lin Chen nodded and spoke: "I'm from the north. ”

"No wonder."

The smile on the face of the young man dressed in Rushan seems to have remained unchanged for ten thousand years, and the whole person gives people a feeling of light and light, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, and is very affinity.

Sensing Lin Chen's gaze, the young man took a half step back and made a Confucian etiquette, and then spoke: "My name is Wan Qi, haven't you asked for advice?" ”

"Lin Chen."

"It turned out to be Brother Lin."

Lin Chen nodded slightly, he naturally knew that what Wan Qian had done just now was for his good, if he had said one more word just now, he might have been controlled by the guards.

Come to think of it, the person sitting on the jade chariot should have a lot of background.

"Speaking of which, that guy just now?"

Wan Qian looked left and right, and then said, "This is not the place to talk, Brother Lin come with me." ”

The two finally found a relatively elegant restaurant, especially on the second floor, where some celebrity calligraphy and paintings were hung, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

And Wan Qi came to this place as if he was at his own home, and gradually lost that rusty feeling.

After the two of them chose a seat near the window, Wan Qi said: "I am fortunate to know each other, which can be regarded as a kind of fate, after drinking this glass of wine, you and I are friends." ”

Wan Qi's face still has that kind of smile that has not changed for thousands of years, with an opening, and the smile is very infectious.

Lin Chen was not pretentious, and drank the wine in the cup directly.

Wan Qi smiled: "Brother Lin is refreshing. ”

"In fact, the reason why the person just now is not allowed to be discussed is also because this person's identity is relatively special."

"Brother Lin is new to here, so he shouldn't know the history of this Qiutan City."

Lin Chen nodded, the Tibetan scripture only records the mountains and rivers, and there will be a detailed description of some relatively peculiar terrain, and to this day Lin Chen can't figure out who wrote this Tibetan scripture, but it is completely certain that at least it is also an emperor-level existence.

The wide range of mountains, rivers, sun and moon made Lin Chen feel extremely shocked.

Although he had engraved all the records in the Tibetan Sutra in his mind, he only relied on his extraordinary perception and memory, and he had not yet looked at some of the things that really contained secrets, or rather, he could not see them clearly.

There was nothing special about the Tibetan Sutra when it was recorded on the page, it was just some obscure words, but after smelting it in his mind, Lin Chen really discovered the wonders of this Tibetan Sutra.

The Tibetan scriptures are divided into three volumes, namely the heavenly scroll, the earth scroll, and the human scroll.

The human scroll is the beginning, recording all the cities on the land of Yingzhou, and it is also the only thing that Lin Chen can see clearly at this stage, but it is only eighty percent.

Like the records of places such as the ancient kingdom of Xihe and the imperial capital of Jiuli in the central land, he could not see clearly.

He also couldn't see some of the mysteries in the ancient kingdom, and the limit now was to see the city under the royal city.

On the land of Yingzhou, the cities that can be upgraded are basically divided into five levels, namely the imperial capital, the royal city, the national capital, the heavy city, and the giant city, and the smaller cities are no longer in the eyes of those big people, and naturally there is no division of levels.

Just like this Qiutan City, it can barely be regarded as a giant city at most, and this is much worse than those real giant cities.

Even the Acropolis of the capital of the Jackdaw Country is only the lowest grade in the level of the giant city.

And the cities that are recorded in detail in the Tibetan scriptures, the worst are all at the level of the national government.

And the cities below the level of the national government, in the Tibetan scriptures, are only recorded for the names and landforms of the cities, as well as some special places.

Therefore, even if he had the Tibetan scriptures and understood eighty percent of the human scrolls, Lin Chen would not be able to figure out the history of this Qiutan City.

Retracting his thoughts, his eyes fell on Wan Qian in front of him, and Lin Chen spoke: "Listen to me." ”

Wan Qi smiled, and then spoke: "In this country of jackdaws, Qiutan City can be regarded as the most special existence. ”

"It's not because this was once the capital of the Jackdaw Country, but because it's the only city in the Jackdaw Country that has a Twin City Lord."

"Twin City Lords?"

Lin Chen's face was full of doubts, and Wan Qian nodded and said, "That's right, in fact, this western border can be regarded as the Jackdaw border in the true sense. ”

"Cities like the south, east, and north are only adjacent to some small countries or cities at most, and if they are too much, they are just facing rolling mountains or forests."

"However, this Qiutan City in the west is facing a domain controlled by the demon clan."

Lin Chen's face changed slightly when he heard this.

Wan Qian continued: "On the land of Yingzhou, there are thousands of races, and the demon race is the most antagonistic race to the human race, and their hatred for the human race can be traced back to ancient times. ”

"At that time, the two sides fought for Taoism, and in the end the demon clan was defeated, and they have been hating the human race, this hatred has not been weakened even to this day, but it can't just be judged by good and evil, but the two sides have always been on opposite sides, and there are also people who tend to the side of the human race among the demon clans, but at most they only account for one thousandth, and most of the remaining demon clans have extreme hatred for the human race."

"And the demon clan in the demon clan's territory adjacent to Qiutan City is the one who has extreme hatred for the human race."

"Fifty years ago, a leader in this Qiutan City had a conflict with the people of the demon clan, and finally the person of the demon clan died, and then it caused a huge change, a big demon led the ten thousand demons to break through the Qiutan City, and comforted the soul of the dead demon clan with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the Qiutan City."

"In fact, at that time, everyone knew that the big demon just needed an excuse, and this was the best excuse."

"Tens of thousands of demon soldiers are coming to the city, the demon clan is good, their combat power is beyond the resistance of the human race, and tens of thousands of demons are enough to break through Qiutan City."

"And the rulers of the Jackdaw Nation at that time were weak and incompetent, and they didn't dare to fight against the demon clan at all, and the Jackdaw City Lord swore to defend the city to the death, but he could only watch the soldiers in the city dwindle day by day, and when everyone was at a loss, someone stood up."

"He broke into the demon clan station alone."

"That night, no one knew what happened, but at dawn that night, the demon clan retreated, and the young man who took the initiative to ask Ying to fight got back a contract."

"It's this contract that has protected the peace of Qiutan City for fifty years, and if nothing else, there will be another fifty years and more."

"The person who made a great contribution to Qiutan City, the city lord could not repay him, and in the end, he came to the national capital in person and forced him with his life, and finally let the country lord of Jackdaw's sittingly Jinluan agree to the decision of one city and two lords."

"And from that time on, Qiutan City, which has the reputation of the first level of the jackdaw, has a second city lord."

"And this city lord has been in that position for fifty years."

"In this Qiutan City, his status is no less than that of the city lord who was personally sealed by the lord of the country."
