readx(); Yanjing City stands along the coast, and at the foot is a huge bay. If you talk about the southeast of Yanjing City, it should be the other side of the bay.

This bay is a superb harbor, and it is pure natural, not only the area is huge, the depth is enough, and the small peninsula terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides, the southeast defense line sticks out of the head, which blocks the waves very well, no matter how violent the waves outside are, when entering the bay, it automatically becomes calm.

It can be said that this port is the most important port in Datang at present, and it is also the largest natural port in the entire western continent.

Yanjing City is on the innermost side of the bay, and there are two pieces of terrain on both sides that look like crab pincers, enveloping the entire bay.

To the northeast, there is a satellite city called Slatan, where Optimus Prime has their main contact with the outside world. And on the southeast peninsula, there is also a city called Sanjili, which means the city of life in the elven language, yes, the satellite city on the southeast peninsula is the city inhabited by the elves. Because Datang has worked hard to absorb people of other races since the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Datang has always done a good job, for other people of different races, there is no discrimination, all are treated fairly, no matter whether the other party is ugly or not, and whether the other party has special abilities, as long as the other party is willing to live in Datang, he will divide a small piece of land to the other party to help them establish their own settlement.

And take the initiative to help them integrate into the whole Datang, lack of food? Free supply. Short on supplies? Sold at cost price. No money? It can be said that Datang treats these foreign people, just as Huaxia in the previous life gave a large number of preferential policies to encourage them to settle in Datang, and let them integrate into Datang very quickly. Today, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Datang already has more than thirty races other than humans.

This includes elves, dwarves, giants and other races that have a strong influence in various legends. There are also a large number of races like lizardmen, cavemen, snowmen, and Zedi elders, which have never had huge populations in the first place, and have never done anything great in history, but are genuine. Because these aliens have not been able to enter the mainstream world for a long time, they are self-sufficient, and they have to ensure their own survival, so they have more or less some special abilities of their own, even if they make some small handicrafts, they are much stronger than ordinary humans.

And this Sanjili is a satellite city headed by the elves, with all races at the same time, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty are responsible for the partial management of racial integration. Build here. There are several considerations, first of all, this kind of thing must be more or less under Gao Zhen's control, he can generously give his land to these guys to survive, but he can't tolerate these guys betraying him. Of course. He didn't mean that these people would betray him, but as the saying goes, the heart of letting people go is indispensable, and it's always good to be prepared.

Secondly, the city was built in this place also to bring it closer to the port, and it is known that the economy wants to develop. Ease of transportation is extremely important, especially in today's world, like the earth at that time, the world has begun to contact each other on a large scale, and the number of ships between the east and west continents is increasing, what does a good port mean. The fool also understands that the city of Sangilli, built on the bay and so close to the port, is also extremely important for its own development.

Gao Zhen, and even Datang. It is impossible to seek a way out for every city, the managers of the cities themselves must have certain economic management ability and economic acumen, and the development of the city is the business of the city managers, not the empire. There are more cities in the empire, and everything needs to be managed by the empire, and the empire's own energy will be consumed on it, which is an obvious waste of resources, which is extremely undesirable, so each city must have its own development route.

Sanjili City is already a special case, Gao Zhen has given them such a great convenience, even if they know that Gao Zhen's move has the intention of monitoring them nearby, but they did not refuse, and they did not even feel unhappy, they have confidence in themselves, since they will not betray, so what does it matter if they are put under their noses and watched? Even if it is this kind of life, it is much better than before, what is there to be dissatisfied with? With so much convenience, the development of Sanjili City is very rapid, has quickly become an indispensable part of the Gulf Economic Bureau, many foreign specialties, greatly enrich the flow of goods in the bay, but also to these foreign people, bring rich benefits.

Of course, these are not the most important, the development of a city, for the current Gao Zhen no longer matters, the city is good or bad, is the business of the city managers and residents, he is responsible for, only the country's macroeconomic control and the provision of land, the rest, is not something he can interfere with.

The reason why he wanted to fly to this city was to see the current situation of the city, but just to see, he didn't even have the interest to intervene a little more. What's more, he wants to see how far the force here has developed, after those ancient tree elders were created by him, they were put together with the elves, the ancient tree elders have the ability to change to special professions, and they have a good relationship with the elves since ancient times, he has not paid attention to it before, only knows that a large number of elves enter the army every year, and now that he has time, it is good to come and take a look.

From a distance, the whole city of Sanjili is like a huge tree, and the branches and leaves at the top of the tree, like a dome, cover the whole city, dense like a lot of green clouds, floating there in the distance.

Gao Zhen knew that this was a branch of the World Tree. The World Tree of this world still exists, but the body has died, leaving only three seeds, one of which was destroyed in the great war between humans and elves that year, one failed to grow because it did not find a suitable land, and finally consumed all the energy in the seed when it grew to a height of less than three thousand meters, and finally turned into an ordinary tree, and it didn't take long for it to wither, and now only the last seed remains, before the elves had sought the help of Gao Zhen, Gao Zhen also spent a month refining and using the power of the Origin, making a thousand crystalline stones of the power of the Origin, although it was not pure enough, but it only supported the growth of the World Tree. A short time is enough.

The current World Tree is in the Moon Shadow Forest, which is already a holy place for all elves, except for these people who followed Gao Zhen at the beginning, including Gao Zhen himself. The others can no longer find the specific location of the land over there, because the entire Moon Shadow Forest has been covered by powerful magic, even if the twelfth-level master enters, it is inevitable that he will be disturbed by illusions, and today's human beings are not as good as the first dynasty period, although today's elves are no longer the elven empire of the year, but after all, the elves, an ancient creature, have mastered the most powerful magic technology in this world, and this level of magic array can still be arranged. Of course, that's all, the defensive circle is much simpler than the attack circle, if they are allowed to arrange an attack circle that can kill the twelfth level master. That's almost impossible, not to mention the twelfth level, even the eleventh and tenth levels are difficult, not only the technical strength is not up to par, but a lot of materials. It has long disappeared from this world, and without the right materials, the top-level killing array cannot be arranged at all.

The gossip is far away.

The World Tree has successfully grown, and here in Sanjili City, a branch from the newly grown World Tree has been transplanted through a special method. After hundreds of elven mages above level 10 provided magic power day and night, it took three months for it to be successfully transplanted and thrive, although it can never become a new world tree, but it is still possible to protect a small area.

"Your Majesty!"

When Gao Zhen flew into the sky above Sanjili City, three elves riding horned eagle beasts greeted him. As soon as they saw that it was Gao Zhen, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Well, is the Great Elder here?"

"Yes, the Great Elder just came back yesterday, and His Majesty came at the right time. Please come with us, Your Majesty. ”

It was a female elf who spoke, and her appearance inherited the usual petite and weak appearance of the elf race, but at the same time there was a heroic spirit, although it was specific to the facial features, it may disappoint many people who misunderstood the elf race, and I only felt that the appearance of this elf woman was not so beautiful and exaggerated. But how to say it? It's already good, especially with that heroic spirit, it really feels good.

Of course, that's just for other people, for Gao Zhen, he doesn't care about this kind of thing anymore, there are so many girls around him who haven't eaten them, and those girls are not beautiful? Which has no temperament? An ordinary elven woman, but she couldn't make him rise those impulses.

Nodding, Gao Zhen slowly fell towards the giant number with the three elves. This giant tree itself is actually a huge magic array, all the branches and leaves and the growth of the root system have a certain rhythm, once it can successfully survive, it will independently unfold a magic array, the scale of the magic array is related to the top branches and leaves of the tree itself, how much area is covered by the general canopy of the dome, and the same area of land below will be covered by the magic array.

Now this giant tree, the canopy has covered the entire Sanjili, that is to say, as long as Gao Zhen wants to enter the city, he must pass through the magic array. Of course, the power of this magic array is not enough to stop him, but he doesn't need to force his way, does he? This empire, where can he not go?

When they walked under the canopy, a faint film suddenly appeared in the originally empty air, and only such a film flashed in front of them, and the rest of the place was still a void, and if people who didn't know these things wanted to break in, I was afraid that they would be discovered as soon as possible.

The elven woman's status in the elven clan did not seem to be low, originally she needed to send a message to let the magic array open from the inside, but she just used her hand lightly, and the membrane slowly opened, revealing an opening that was enough for more than a dozen people to pass through at the same time.

"Your Majesty, I am the next Great Elder of the Shadow Elves, after the re-merger of the Elven Clan, the elder candidates were re-selected, and I was defeated, but after all, I used to be a Great Elder candidate, so I still have some understanding of these magics."

As if seeing Gao Zhen's doubts, the woman took the initiative to speak.

"Hmm."

Gao Zhen nodded, and didn't say anything.

He was only puzzled about these things, and he had no intention of going deeper. But he let out a little emotion from the woman's behavior, it turned out that unconsciously, he had become an existence that a random look or a thought was enough to make others pay great attention to it, and he had been staying with those people around him before, although they regarded their orders as the highest, but they were very casual in daily life, and he himself did not feel anything. Now it suddenly goes down to the "grassroots". Suddenly he felt like the moon in the moon, a little happy at the same time, but also a little depressed, he understood. Once you reach this point, there is almost no possibility of changing back to what you used to be......

"After reading it, let's go back quickly......"

Thinking so, Gao Zhen stepped into the interior of Sanjili City.

In the distance, the current elven clan elder greeted him, an old elf with a white beard, holding a curved wooden cane in his hand, although his face was old, but his body was quite tough. Walking in the void, every step is very powerful, and talking to Gao Zhen is also full of confidence, Gao Zhen simply glanced at it. found that the old man was actually an eleventh-level master, and coupled with the long lifespan of the elf clan, this old man could live for at least thousands of years.

Along the way, the old elf introduced a lot of the current situation of the elf clan to Gao Zhen, and Gao Zhen listened to it and was satisfied.

Unconsciously. The population of the elves has exceeded 100 million, and at least half of them are in the prime of life, that is to say, the combat power that the elves alone can provide is more than 50 million people. Of course, this is only the maximum amount. Not everyone in the elves likes to fight, and they can't force others, can they? But even then, it's pretty remarkable. The individual strength of the elves is generally greater than that of humans, and their racial talent is better than that of humans. Especially in terms of lifespan, ordinary elves and ordinary humans are simply people of two worlds, ordinary people have a lifespan of up to two hundred years (a product of the high-energy world), and ordinary elves without any power have a lifespan of at least five hundred years or more. For such a long time, even if he was an elven civilian without any strength, as long as he was willing and cultivated well, even if it was just time to accumulate it, it would be enough to become a fifth- and sixth-level existence. And if there is some talent, the eighth and ninth levels are not a problem. If you have good talent, it's easy to be at level 10 or 11. It is not easy for a level 12 master to appear, but it is the same for all races, except for the former dragon, no creature can easily enter level 12.

Now, the standing combat power of the elf clan has three million, all of them are good hands above level seven, one or two may not matter, but they are based on the army, three million good hands above level seven, this force itself is terrifying enough.

And the three million standing combat power Huang Zong, there are 500,000 druids, this is also not a small number, as we all know, the elves are good at natural magic, the power of holy light and archery, that is to say, the elves produce more magicians, priests and archers, of course, there are also warriors, but I don't know why, the warriors of the elves are all swordsmen with double swords, the lethality is not bad, but the defense is too poor, even worse than magicians and priests, that is to say, in the elf race, the phenomenon of partial science is too serious. There are almost no meat shields that can be held in front, all of them are ranged professionals and anemic melee professionals similar to thieves, and the mix is uneven, so it's no wonder that the overall combat effectiveness is not good.

But with the druids, it all settles.

The Raptor Druid is responsible for reconnaissance and assassination, the Talon Druid is responsible for the battle array charge, with the Talon Druid in front, the mage priest archers in the back can unleash their long-range means to their heart's content, and the powerful attack power can be fully displayed, which is why after learning that they can be transferred to the Talon Druid, many elves cried out excitedly. Because even during the period of the Elven Empire, the strongest elven of their elven race, the claw druids were their main combat power, and there was no one, the claw druids were the most important tactical core of the elves at any time.

Today's elven race, among the standing three million combat power, there are 500,000 claw druids. And in the entire elven clan, all the combat power that can be mobilized exceeds 30 million, and according to incomplete statistics, the number of claw druids has exceeded 2 million, which is definitely the level of the super legion. Just imagine, more than two million giant bears rushed from afar, how spectacular it was, and it is no wonder that the elves are becoming more and more confident in the face of the outside world.

There were other questions, all of which were asked by Gao Zhen one by one, and the Great Elder of the Elf Clan also answered, and half a day passed in a flash, Gao Zhen refused the Elf Great Elder's proposal to let him stay for dinner, left Sanjili City, and flew all the way along the sea to the south. Sang Jili Cheng is just the main place where these foreign people trade, the place where they live is not here, in order to show fairness, Gao Zhen left a piece of land for each race, since you want to see it now, then go and take a look, others in the province say that he favors one over the other.

His next destination, 300 kilometers away, was the Anthill Rock, a former nest of a creature called the Volcanic Ant, which had now been wiped out, and the intricate underground caverns that had become the best place for cavemen to live.
