Chapter 201: The Root of the Problem

"That guy is strong. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wuji said, "However, what makes me feel strange is that that guy seems to have come to save us. Because he's always in the way between our ship and the monster. Didn't give that terrible monster the slightest chance. ”

"And what's going on with your hands?" Chen Tianci raised his chin and pointed at the arm that Wuji had never changed with the tip of his chin.

"The energy is being consumed excessively." Wuji used his intact arm to make a helpless movement.

Chen Tianci already has an understanding of the general situation of the whole incident, and he is no longer obsessed with asking for various details. All he wanted to know now was where they were.

"Where is this?" Chen Tianci asked. He walked over to the porthole and peered out at the harbor through the heavy shield.

It was quiet.

Next to Chen Tianci's flying boat, there are a few flying boats moored here. There is no one walking back and forth in the port except for busy maintenance robots. Occasionally, a crew member or two would walk up to the dock and breathe in the outside air.

There are no signs erected at the port terminals. Chen Tianci looked at it for a while, and couldn't think of what kind of place it would be. He looked sideways at Wuji, only to find that Wuji also looked unaware.

"Don't look at me. I don't know what this place is. In my desperation, I just wanted to stay away from the monster. I still have a good idea of the approximate location. But this place is not marked on the map, and I don't know what this place is called. Just when passing by, I saw. Wuji explained.

Chen Tianci shook his head and smiled, so he could only return to the central control room and start referring to the map. It is a small island located in the Pacific Ocean. The location of the island is far from where they were hiding before. It's very close to the Okinawa Trough.

"Maybe it's a new island formed after a volcanic eruption. So it makes sense that there are no marks on the map. Chen Tianci muttered to himself.

He closed the map, returned to the break room, and lay down on the bed. Although he had just come to his senses, this near-death trip really drained his spirit. He needed more rest.

But Chen Tianci was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, but he couldn't fall asleep. For some reason, it always seemed to ring in his ears that was too soft to hear the contents.

It won't be the sound of Wuji. Chen Tianci is very sure. But who the hell will that be. Chen Tianci was completely confused. "It must be an auditory hallucination." Chen Tianci thought so and decided to go out for a walk.

He left the flying boat and stepped onto the harbor, standing on the pier, quietly blowing the sea breeze. The sea in the distance kept lapping against the pier, making a tidal sound like a tide.

Chen Tianci stood on the pier, looking up at the sky, and couldn't help but be a little fascinated. When he was a teenager, what he wanted to do most was like this.

Stand at the port terminal, listen to the sound of the tide and watch the twinkling stars in the sky. Such a simple thing is a little difficult for people in the deep sea.

Because most of the time, people have to stay in a safe zone on the ocean floor. What they heard while standing in the harbor was not the sound of the tide, but the sound of maintenance robots busy everywhere.

Chen Tianci couldn't help but recognise the events of his childhood when his parents took him on trips. At that time, he was most happy to listen to the sound of the tide and watch the stars in the sky twinkle as he is now.

But after the years, his parents are no longer alive, and he is no longer a young child. "Time flies." Chen Tianci muttered to himself.

"yes, time does fly by so fast." An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded beside Chen Tianci. Chen Tianci looked sideways and found that it was the person on the ship that was close.

The man also happened to look sideways at Chen Tianci at this time. They greeted each other in a friendly manner and went about their business. On the harbor docks, politeness is essential when meeting people who are also out to sea.

When Chen Tianci was immersed in the memories brought by the night, the person next to him suddenly spoke: "The night of Xiaolanxi Island can be regarded as a relatively famous area in this area. However, if you have ever been to the Purple City and watched the night sky in that place, you will feel that there is no place in the world where you can see it again. ”

"Oh?" Chen Tianci looked at the man with a little interest, waiting for the other party to continue.

The man smiled slightly, and began to talk about his feelings about looking at the night sky in Purple City. "So, you often go to Purple City?" Chen Tianci asked.

He was worried that he couldn't find a way to enter the Purple City, and he didn't expect to accidentally meet a person who often went to the Purple City. "I don't go very often. We, the traveling merchants, are home all over the world, and we basically have to go anywhere. However, it's best not to go to Purple City in the near future. The man changed the subject and said.

Chen Tianci's heart moved slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "What?" Is the Purple City now closed to outsiders? ”

The man shook his head and said, "Not really. Purple City is in big trouble right now. If you go, it's not suitable. It's better to wait until everything is calm and then go, that would be better. ”

"Purple City is in big trouble? How do you say that? Chen Tianci looked at the other party puzzled and asked quickly.

"The city lord of Purple Gold City fell ill a few months ago, and I heard that she was very sick. Now the entire Zijin City is a struggle for power and profit, and for the power of the city lord. It would be a big hassle to go to such a place at this time. The man explained.

Chen Tianci was slightly stunned. "The City Lord of Purple City is critically ill?" Only then did Chen Tianci understand why Zijin City had lost its attention to things in the outside world.

It turns out that the crux of the matter lies here. "I heard that the legal heir of the Purple City City Lord's Mansion should be the direct bloodline of the City Lord. It seems that this matter has continued since the completion of the Purple City. How can you get into such a situation as a struggle for power? Chen Tianci thought about it and asked a very important question.

Purple City, as well as most of the deep-sea city-states, is a deep-sea city established by a certain family, or a few families, who led the surviving people to the bottom of the sea during the initial catastrophe.

According to their long-standing custom, that is, the inheritance of the father and the son is passed on from one generation to the next, and it is passed on from generation to generation. This is not much different from the family world in Chinese history.

It stands to reason that Zijin City was originally a deep-sea city-state established by the Shen clan, and since its establishment, power has been firmly in the hands of the Shen clan. Moreover, the question of who will inherit such a thing, under normal circumstances, the previous generation of city lords will make detailed arrangements.

For hundreds of years, it has rarely been heard of people who will be caught in a struggle because of the issue of inheritance. "What's wrong in Purple City?" Chen Tianci couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.
