CHAPTER XXVII
Bingfeng City, outside the Zhao family's manor.
"Thank you Zhao for your hospitality, Feng Qi has thanked you here. ”
After a simple salute, Chen Feng stepped onto the convoy of the law again. The black convoy slowly departed and set off for its next destination.
"Qi Yue, what do you think, how is this son of the Chen family?" Looking at the convoy that was gradually moving away, the smile on Zhao Qifeng's face faded and returned to his previous calmness. Between the eyebrows, there is still a little thought.
"Hehe, I'm afraid the eldest brother isn't asking Qi Yue what he thinks of his martial arts attainments, right?"
"Let's talk about it. ”
"If this son is only one of the sons of the martial arts family of the Ninth District, a strong martial artist will definitely be born in the Chen family within twenty years. However, from Qi Yue's clumsy eyes. He is not a suitable person to take over the Chen family's current career. ”
Zhao Qifeng exhaled lightly and was silent for a moment, "The Chen family, there is another son named Chen Tiantian, right?"
"Could it be that the eldest brother thinks ......"
"Hehe, Chen Shengtian, the head of the Chen family, is not a simple person. The law of the Chen family is the law of him Chen Shengtian alone. In the past few years, the situation in the nine districts has changed, and I have become more and more unable to see through it. After that young man back then, and the bloody storm that reshuffled the power of the entire Ninth District family, my courage became smaller and smaller. ”
Zhao Qiyue obviously didn't understand what his eldest brother was talking about, and he looked puzzled.
"Hehe, Qi Yue. Big brother, I don't know much about the realm of martial artists, do you say that there is an existence of a powerful martial artist who is so powerful that he can control the entire country?"
Looking at Zhao Qifeng with a serious expression, Zhao Qiyue shook his head slightly. "After the end of the era of the warriors, since the unification of the United Nations by the four parties, the era of the warriors has long passed. The era of confronting the might of a country with the strength of one person has long been history. Didn't you already know this, big brother, so that the Zhao family gradually transformed from a martial arts family to a business family?"
Zhao Qifeng didn't look at Zhao Qiyue, but raised his head to look at the sky, and nodded his chin slightly. "It's going to rain, where are we going to hide this time?"
——————
With his head resting on his arms and leaning on the sofa by the car window, Chen Feng's eyes browsed the scenery outside the window. The heart, but it has already drifted far away. The trip to the Zhao family in Bingfeng City was the first stop of his swordsmanship. Here, he began his true swordsmanship path and recognized the real world of swordsmanship. Before he could rejoice, the world opened a new door for him.
The duel with Zhao Qiyue, perhaps, can't be called a duel at all, it's just a one-sided instruction. Chen Feng was a little stunned, and he realized what a swordsmanship master was, and it was just some simple sword moves that made it difficult for him to deal with. The kind of combat experience that was different from that between him and Long Xi made him a little weak for a while. I once thought that when my fighting skills broke through the realm of the Tyrant Emperor, I would already be at the peak of the martial artists in this world, but now it seems that I am still a little abrupt.
"Young Master, the destination of our next stop has arrived. Is the arrangement still the same?" Steward Zhou's laser image appeared in front of Chen Feng at the right time, and he happened to wake up from his contemplation.
"As always, the progress doesn't need to be too fast, I need some time to digest. ”
"Okay young master. The laser image dissipated inside the car, and the light and shadow passing outside the window gradually slowed down.
——————
The classical marble city in the sky is the only one in the world. After the end of the post-cosmonastic era, 90% of the world's steel industry has been replaced by a new type of superalloy industry. This new alloy, which incorporates many of the metallic elements mined on other planets, has a strength far greater than any known metal on Earth, and a density of between 2-3 grams per cubic millimeter, and the density of water is generally 0.998. In the old era, the density of steel materials was around 7.85. ) between the density.
It is precisely because of the maturity of superalloy technology that human urban construction has completely entered the era of sky castles (dungeons). The so-called Sky City is not a fantasy city that floats completely in the clouds as described in the call, but refers to those buildings at the level of the central pillar with an absolute height of 3,000 meters. With the advent of the energy age, all human civilizations have made unprecedented progress. The development of the traditional industry of architecture can also be said to be rapid, and all kinds of breakthrough achievements have sprung up like mushrooms after freeing themselves from the constraints of the energy system, and quickly formed a towering trend.
It was during this period that the development of the dungeon and the sky city began to sprout, and the division of building heights from the original ground floor, high-rise and super high-rise buildings to the sub-mountain level (1000m) and the central pillar of the strategic fortress is also called the tower level (>3000m).
The construction of the Sky City is not only a manifestation of the maturity of technology in the field of architecture, but also the crystallization of all the wisdom of the development of human civilization for nearly 15,000 years. Even the first generation of a city in the sky, the Ark, is definitely more than ten times more powerful than the most powerful warship of the Age of Space Navigation, the Zeus.
And after the four parties ended the chaotic war and established a unified global alliance kingdom, the era of Sky City really reached its peak. After that, two cities and one fortress became the standard configuration of the current alliance's first-class main cities. The so-called "two cities and one fortress" refers to a city in the sky, and a dungeon is built into an impregnable fortress.
There are three main cities in the world that transcend the first level, the Heavenly Sanctuary of the Ninth District, the Freedom Sanctuary of the First District, and the Ava Sanctuary of the Seventh District.
And these three super-first-level sky cities are the "Heavenly Palace" in the ninth district, the "Freedom Temple" in the first district, and the "Avalon" in the seventh district. The city in the sky in front of you, which looks completely made of marble on the surface, is the mythical Pure Land of Bliss, Avalon.
The blue sky is above, the sea of clouds is changing, and the huge light curtain resists the air currents in the sky, filtering the sunlight and maintaining the ecology of the entire sky city. The central building of Sky Castle, inside the castle lord's castle.
"The summary of this quarter's performance statement has come out, everyone, let's take a look. In the empty and magnificent palace-style hall, there are more than 20 "people" sitting neatly next to a giant gorgeous marble long table more than ten meters long and four or five meters wide. Of course, except for the chief and his left and right hand positions, most of the others are virtual laser images.
After a moment, the twenty or so people at the long table began to stir from the silence. Sitting on the chief was an old man with a white beard, a set of luxurious blue robes of the new era, and the patterns on the robes were extremely elegant. The old man looked to be only about seventy years old, but of course, that was not his real age. His real age may be about three times that number.
"Our worst fears have come. The old man crossed his hands and fingers, and skillfully ered Erlang's legs against the ornate carved marble throne, "Let's talk about your opinions." ”
"For the first time in more than a thousand years since we signed Manehattan to join the four-party alliance and establish the Union Kingdom, someone has been able to appear in front of us with such a strong posture. To the right of the old man was an old man with his hands on the cold marble tabletop, supporting his old body, almost on the verge of death. Ryan Manehattan, the vice-patriarch of the world's largest business family, Contract Manehattan, was 320 years old at the time, which is still a miracle of life even today when human civilization has developed to such a height.
"The politicians of the old days said that when the conflict escalated to the point where it could not be reconciled peacefully, the only way to digest it was to use war. On the left-hand side, the same old man is dying. Mandis Manehattan, another deputy patriarch.
Then, with the exception of the three men, everyone else was silent as if their communication equipment had failed.
The Chief Elder let out a long sigh after being silent for a long time. "The attitude of the 'alliance' is uncertain, the 'gentleman' still insists on the terms of peace, and the 'annihilation' of those three bastards wishes we would have stepped down sooner. "Contract Mahattan as Patriarch Heath Manehattan.
"Ahem, ahem...... Peace treaty, the meaning of 'gentleman', there is no way to be disobedient. In its heyday, the 'contract' did not dare to argue with them, and today it is not capable of doing so. Ryan, who was on the right, raised his cloudy eyes, glanced at Mandis on the other side, and said faintly.
"Humph!" Mandis snorted coldly, not saying anything more.
"Ah, that's the way to go through war. ”
There was a long silence at the long table.
"This ninth district is kind of interesting. Seventy years ago, there was a blue sky balance, and seventy years later, there was a Chen Shengtian. Seventy years ago, the alliance and the gentleman almost collapsed for a blue sky balance. And seventy years later, it's finally our turn. Hiss's tone was a little stunned. "Huh, Hades, you seem to have something to say?"
With Heath Manehattan's words, almost everyone's eyes turned to the young man next to Mandis.
In the laser image, this is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his early thirties, with a thin body but a sense of spirit. A rickety body, a thin chin and high protruding cheekbones. Two shiny mustaches bent and dotted the thin lips. Hades Manehattan, then fifty-seven, was the only man in a family like Manehattan who could sit in the fourth place in the family meeting a hundred years ago. He is one of the candidates for the 10th patriarch of the House of Manehattan.
"Hehe, Your Excellency the Patriarch. The current situation is indeed very unfavorable for our 'contract' Manehattan, and this nascent law is indeed very strong. When Hades said this, Mandis next to him suddenly snorted very unhappily, "Hades! What do you want to say!?"
"Well, Your Excellency the Patriarch Mandis, that's right. Hades got up in a panic, bowed to the three patriarchs in turn, and then said slowly, "It is true that the current law is very noisy, but as far as I know, that law is only the law of him Chen Shengtian alone, and the Chen family is only the Chen family of him Chen Shengtian alone." ”
"Huh!?" As soon as Hades finished saying this, not only Mandis, but everyone in the audience except Heath Manhattan focused their angry eyes on Hades at this moment. Hades seemed to realize that he seemed to have said something stupid, and a cold sweat broke out all of a sudden.
At this time, it was Heath Manehattan who sat up straight and raised a hand to signal to the crowd. Go on. ”
Hades swallowed a mouthful of saliva as if he had been pardoned, and muttered with palpitations, "Yes... Be... That is true... I mean, the so-called Chen family... The Chen family, there are only three people who can be called family members of the Chen family. The patriarch Chen Shengtian and his two sons. One is called Chen Feng, the other is called Chen Yitian......" When Hades said this, everyone present was shocked.
"Oh, how can such a thing?" said Heath Manehattan, reclining back on his marble throne once more, thoughtful. After a moment, he laughed.
"Hehe, I thought this Chen family was so powerful. So, what does this so-called, Chen Shengtian's law mean?"
......
"Okay, Hades and Ares, the two seedlings of the Chen family will be handed over to the two of you. ”
