Chapter 433: Clear Water City
Yu Chiba looked at the bustling city from afar, his eyes were a little dazed and a little afraid. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The situation is now very clear.
In the future, all their hopes and destiny will be bet on this emerging city, and there is no way back.
Beside him, the other elders were also distracted, and their faces could not hide their worries.
As soon as the news of the Great Elder's serious illness came, Yu Chiba understood that the fragile balance of the Elder Council would be immediately broken. The contradictions and differences between Xinmin and the family can no longer be concealed.
The two sides will redivide each other's spheres of strength, and no one can stop the division of the Presbyterian Church.
Mrs. Ye's methods are very powerful, and Yu Chiba knows it well, but he still doesn't think that Mrs. Ye can turn the tide.
How can the prestige accumulated over most of his life in power be replaced by new people?
The Xinmin faction is also full of respect and fear for the Great Elders.
Yu Chiba had fantasized about taking the position of the Great Elder countless times, but when he heard the news that the Great Elder was seriously ill, his first reaction was hesitation.
What is the future of Shinkoshi? What will the future of Shinkoshi City be, where will he take the Xinmin, and will he be able to resist the blood of God?
He didn't know either.
At this time, he truly understood that there was an unbridgeable gap between himself and the Great Elder.
Originally, everyone had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Great Elder, but when the situation was corrupt, all kinds of complaints flew all over the sky. But when the old Great Elder fell down suddenly, everyone suddenly realized that the Great Elder was the backbone of everyone.
In the past, the Xinmin faction felt that the Great Elder was their number one enemy, but now when this number one enemy was critically ill, they were not happy at all, and everyone's hearts were heavy.
"The Great Elder is still the Great Elder, and his heart is really ruthless. Wei Chiba's expression returned to normal: "Shi Beihai is in danger." ”
The other elders all understood the meaning of Yu Chiba's words.
Xinmin and Shijia are clearly distinguished, and each other's camps are quite stable and have deep roots. And the neutral faction will become the first object of annexation by the family, and Shi Beihai is precisely the neutral faction, which is not pleasing to both sides.
The Great Elder's order can also be seen that the three central departments were transferred to garrison Tianxin City, but the Beihai Department was allowed to attack the blood of the gods, which was a clear intention to consume the living force of the Beihai Department.
Another elder couldn't help but ask, "Can we fight for Shi Beihai?" In the past, we had a good relationship with the Neutral Sect. ”
The Saga faction has an absolute predominance in the Presbyterian Church, and the New Democracy and Centrist factions often have to unite to contend with them.
The relationship between the two sides is quite harmonious.
Yu Chiba was noncommittal: "Try it, but don't have too high hopes." Although the neutrals sympathize with Xinmin, their roots are still in the family. ”
He took a deep breath: "From today onwards, the Council of Elders exists in name only. The future depends on ourselves, we are strong, then there is everything, we are weak, the family does not swallow us, and the blood of God will not let us go. Ladies and gentlemen, please do a lot of hard work. ”
The others bowed their heads: "Yes!"
Yu Chiba's eyes were like electricity, and his domineering attitude was exposed: "Take advantage of this period of time when the pattern is not stable, let the copper ghost and the fish come back today." We want to form a war department that can protect Xinguang City, a war department that belongs to our Xinmin. ”
He turned his face and said in a deep voice to the ugly ugly: "Your last plan, start executing." ”
The ugly round face showed excitement: "Yes!"
The impact of the Great Elder's serious illness was still limited to the upper echelons, and it would take time for the ripples to spread and ferment.
Qingshui City, located in the east of Caiyun Township, has not been affected much, and there has been no change in local life.
Shimizu Castle is a medium-sized city and the closest medium-sized city to Matsuma Valley. Even so, Ai Hui and his entourage still went through 26 days of arduous trek before arriving at Qingshui City.
Leaving the Five Elements Heaven and entering the wilderness, the distance between cities has become extremely distant. In a dangerous wilderness, you need to be careful to guard against the attacks of wild beasts at all times. Except for a few large cities near which mature trade routes have gradually been opened, other cities have not yet been able to solve this problem.
Desolate beasts attack caravans from time to time, and some cunning and ferocious desolate beasts will even hunt Yuan Xiu.
Small cities that lack adequate defenses have become the focus of the beasts. Some of the beasts swarm and attack small cities. In areas where the situation is serious, there are even cases where small cities are attacked on a large scale, and desolate beasts form Yuan Dan on a large scale.
With no way out, humanity has ventured into the wilderness and tried to carve out a new home like their ancestors.
But this war has just begun, and who is the prey? Who is the master of the wilderness? Only time will tell.
It is a fact that the number of small cities is declining, scattered strongholds are converging, and the size of cities is increasing. Some even predict that only large cities will be able to survive in the wilderness of the future.
Qingshuicheng also gradually grew in this situation and became a medium-sized city. And the scale of the city is growing, and it may not be long before Clearwater City becomes a large city.
In addition to the distance, the strong commercial atmosphere of Qingshui City is also the reason why Ai Hui and his family chose Qingshui City.
The rich commercial atmosphere of Qingshui City is thanks to their city lord Qiao Meiqi.
Before Qiao Meiqi founded Qingshui City, it had a powerful chamber of commerce, Meiqi Chamber of Commerce. Qiao Meiqi has a good management and has a deep relationship with some old families, such as him and the palace Chengxiu, the grand duke of Yincheng Palace at that time, were inseparable friends.
When the city expansion order was issued, Qiao Meiqi realized that the future was in the wilderness. He resolutely decided to go to the wilderness to expand the city, and his decision was also supported by the palace.
Overcoming obstacles and going deep into the wilderness, he spent a lot of energy, and finally created Qingshui City in the east of Caiyun Township.
After the establishment of Shimizu City, he vigorously exerted his business and hunted the surrounding wild beasts with high rewards. After the annexation of several small cities in succession, the population grew rapidly. Nowadays, it has quite a prosperous atmosphere.
Danger does not stop people from thirsting for wealth.
Qingshui City has a great attraction to the battle Yuan Xiu, as long as you hunt the desolate beast, you can get a high bounty, and the purchase price of the desolate beast materials is also very generous. The powerful Yuan Xiu can get enough respect and wealth in Qingshui City.
A large number of desolate beast materials also attracted a large number of caravans.
Ai Hui and his entourage, who were mixed in the crowd, were not at all conspicuous. There were very few people who came this time, only Ai Hui, Tie Niu, Lou Lan and Zhao Bo'an.
Ai Hui and Tie Niu are responsible for the safety of this trip, and they have to rely on Zhao Bai'an to do business, and it is up to Loulan to replenish what materials need to be supplemented.
The production of Matsuma Valley is pitiful, except for [Snow Lava], there are only a few fire sacs of red fire flying foxes, which are their trophies. The number of complete fire sacs was very small, and Ai Hui and the others only collected forty.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and what to sell without goods?
Ai Hui thought of the bones in the Red Fire Fox Cave, so he organized everyone to pull back the pile of burning bones. Although the price of burnt bones is not high, at least there are a considerable amount.
And in order to improve the quality, all the burnt bones are re-tempered by the white fire in the furnace. The [Snow Flame Cluster] level of the long turret is too high for the burnt bones to withstand, and it will be directly burned to ashes.
After quenching, the quality of the burned bones has been significantly improved. He Blind aroused some interest, and used these fire-burning bones to forge several very distinctive weapons.
It's just that these weapons are basically fire elements, which are suitable for fire repair. Don't worry about the sales of Huoyuan weapons, after Huoyuan was occupied, Huoyuan materials were scarce, Huoyuan weapons were basically discontinued, and now the price of Huoyuan weapons is also high.
This is the news they heard, and everyone is very excited.
Especially Tie Niu, she is still experiencing business for the first time, and she feels very fresh.
She had never bothered about money before, and whatever she needed, it would be delivered to her at home. Worn on the body and used in daily life, they are all valuable treasures. She didn't have the concept of money at all before, otherwise she wouldn't have used an expensive centering crimson bracelet to mortgage a bowl of noodles.
But now, she will smile at the fact that everyone is about to make a small profit.
Generally speaking, a Savage City is much smaller than a city within the Five Elements. Savage cities need to put defense first, and small cities are much less difficult to defend.
Most of the cities in the Five Elements Heaven are built after the Five Elements Heaven has been completely stabilized, and the stable social environment makes them completely unnecessary to think about defense issues, so the scale of the cities is very large.
Qingshui City is already a medium-sized city in the wilderness, but its area is not as large as Ningcheng.
Although the city is small, there are many more people than Ningcheng.
It is strange that so many people gather in such a small city.
From time to time, a team of pack beasts passed by them, and Ai Hui saw these pack beasts for the first time. Thick limbs, with a broad back edge growing outwards a ring of thick bone spurs, gathered into a basin, which is naturally suitable for stacking goods.
This is a pack beast with great strength and excellent endurance, and it is inexpensive to raise, because it looks like a large pot on its back, and it is called a pack beast.
The rise of the packpot beast was also after the promulgation of the Pioneer Order.
After entering the wilderness, it was much more difficult to obtain Yuan Li than before, and transportation vehicles such as the three-leaf rattan cart and the fire floating cloud, which required a large amount of Yuan power, were gradually replaced by low-cost pack beasts. Moreover, the wild altitude is also a dangerous place, and it is much safer on land.
It is also said to have something to do with the blood of the gods.
It is said that the Packpot Beast was originally a blood beast that failed to be cultivated by the Beast Gu Palace, and was sold to a merchant by the Beast Gu Palace. Later, merchants traveled to the wilderness, and soon someone discovered its value. After buying it, it began to use secret methods to promote reproduction, and after several generations, the blood poison in the body of the newborn packpot beast became thinner and thinner until it disappeared.
It is also strange to say, the blood poison that is invincible in the Five Elements Heaven and kills all directions is slow to progress in the old land, but it is almost impossible to advance an inch in the wilderness.
One can't help but marvel at the wonder of this world.
Witnessing hordes of packpot beasts loaded with living creatures, Yuan Xiu dressed in animal skins sat on them, with copper bells hanging on their bone spurs, tinkling all the way through the bazaar.
Ai Hui: They seem to have returned to the primitive wilderness. (To be continued.) )
