Chapter 54: A Different Style of Deliberation
"Teenager. ”
At this moment, the voice of the city lord suddenly came from beside him: "Is your city lord Gu Yuntang okay?"
Zhao Changfeng raised his head and said respectfully: "Back to the city lord, Gu Lao is still the guardian saint of my desert scorpion, but now he has retreated into the background, and he is not the city lord." ”
"Don't be so nervous, boy, today is just a private party, you don't have to call me city lord. ”
The city lord smiled, and then pointed down and said, "I heard that you and Chuan'er are good friends, just like those nephews and nieces of mine, just call me uncle." ”
"Yes, uncle. ”
Zhao Changfeng hugged his fists.
The city lord shook his head with a smile, and then said with a trace of emotion: "Ordinary people say that the grandeur of Zhenhai City is not in this giant city at all, but between the continents of the human and demon races, across the entire coastline of the Northern Regions, on top of the tens of millions of sentinel towers guarding the human race, this is also the case. ”
"It is this guard tower guarding the frontier, as well as the guards who have been guarding it all the year round, that my Zhenhai City can intercept and kill all the demon clans who trespass on the continent, so that all the demon clans who want to enter the God Emperor Continent can only obediently walk under my nose. ”
When the elegant man said this, he turned his head to look at Zhao Changfeng and said: "But not many people know, in fact, the defense line built by my Zhenhai City does not cover all the coasts of the Northern Regions strictly speaking, and there is a small piece that has not been taken care of, and this small piece is the Northern Desert, do you know why?"
Zhao Changfeng thought about it and replied honestly: "The younger generation doesn't know." ”
"Of course you won't know. ”
The city lord smiled, seemed to be happy to make a joke, and then said: "Even I only know a rough idea, it is rumored that in the North Sea, thousands of miles away from the coastline of the Northern Desert, a huge barrier has been erected that goes up to the void and goes down to the bottom of the sea. It is surrounded by the entire coastline of the Northern Desert. ”
"This barrier is not visible in normal times, but once a creature or object wants to pass through, it will immediately manifest its body, a blue-gray, very flat copper wall, so that all the creatures that accidentally pass through the head of the blood flow, and so far no level of strong people can pass through this barrier. ”
Speaking of this, he sighed with emotion: "I really don't know who did such a means, I really want to go to the Northern Desert in person, and observe the wonders of heaven and earth at close range, but because of the shackles of duty, I can't go there alone, it's a pity." ”
"There is such a thing!"
Zhao Changfeng was shocked in his heart, he had lived in the Northern Desert for so many years, and he had never heard anything about it, at this time, he heard it from the mouth of a god realm powerhouse, and at the same time felt incredible in his heart, he also figured out why the Kunpeng clan knew his location, and he also sent someone to go around a big circle from Zhenhai City.
Just when Zhao Changfeng thought of this, there was a sudden shock in his heart, and then it dissipated in an instant, Zhao Changfeng always felt that he had missed something, but he couldn't remember anything at the moment.
"It is indeed a magnificent spectacle, and this moat has been left since ancient times, and its time has long exceeded the record of human history, I really don't know what great power the ancestors of the human race were at that time. Hearing that the city lord of Zhenhai said this, many people also sighed.
"But it's also thanks to the existence of this moat that we can guard the defense line so closely, otherwise, with the barrier of the Lost Mountain Range, Brother Liang will definitely be in trouble to manage. A somewhat obese middle-aged man said, and the one sitting next to him was one of the people who had been knocked over by Zhao Changfeng before.
"What Brother Lan said is indeed the truth, if there is no barrier, I am afraid that the situation between us and the demon clan is much more serious now. The city lord nodded and said.
"Humph!"
Below, a strong man with all his beard seemed to suddenly think of something unpleasant, and said at this moment: "I heard that a group of young geniuses of the demon clan will come to Beilu in the next few days, in order to participate in the exploration of the secret realm of Tianmu?
"That's true, I don't know if he is pretending to be stupid or if he wants to show that his demon clan has a lot of talents, and he doesn't have to care about the lives of his genius descendants at all. ”
"It's just that it's embarrassing for me, and the many forces in the Northern Regions have to allocate a lot of places. ”
After the strong man said this, many people immediately responded, and it was obvious that many people had the same complaints as him.
"There is no way, after all, the God Emperor has personally approved this time, and my little city lord can't disobey it. ”
The city lord of Zhenhai City shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Even here in Zhenhai City, my city lord's mansion and the four generals' mansions have given up nearly twenty places together. ”
"The Demon Emperor's hand is also very smart, anyway, no matter what he is, the relationship between the two clans will not be significantly better, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of peace to get some wool from us, anyway, maybe I don't know when it will start, and I won't be able to get it anymore. Some people also calmly analyzed this move of the demon clan and pointed out the root cause.
"That's true. ”
The city lord agreed: "I have to say that the demon emperor of this session of the demon clan is indeed different from the previous ones, and he has just shown extraordinary skills after taking the throne, first sending a ceremonial delegation to visit the god emperor, and sending some very strange things, although some things seem to be very immature in the manufacturing process, but some of the ideas have faintly exceeded the human race." Under such circumstances, it was natural that its later proposal to trade with the Terrans was approved without much resistance. What's more, as long as both the human race and the demon race are registered, they can open shops on the other continent, anyway, how to get in deeper contact with our human race, and look at its various styles, it seems that this demon emperor knows more about the human race. ”
Many people nodded in agreement: "Although I don't want to admit it, the closeness between the human and demon clans today has indeed exceeded all the times in the past, and now on the Divine Emperor Continent, many businesses that control a larger part of the economic power are all under the names of some demon clans." ”
"Our human race is the same, and compared with our human race with vast resources, the resource-poor Northern Wilderness Demon Race is indeed slightly weaker in terms of national strength, and in general, our human race is more advantageous. Someone said with a smile.
"In fact, the potential of the demon race is very huge, but it is held back by the Northern Wilderness, where resources are extremely scarce, which hinders the development of the race. ”
"This is also the core of the contradiction between humans and demons, the Northern Wilderness is scarce in resources, and it is also a bitter cold place in terms of climate alone, if the demon clan wants to develop, it is naturally extremely covetous of the God Emperor Continent where our human race lives, so as long as this problem exists, the crisis of trust between the two races cannot be resolved. ”
"On this issue, the people in the demon clan seem to have two different opinions, one is that if the demon clan wants to develop, it must leave the bitter cold land of the Northern Wilderness, and the other is that it must rely on the harsh environment in the land of the Northern Wilderness to gradually grow under the test of this environment. Even some of the demon clans above the temple also held these two different opinions, and the two sides continued to fight. ”
"It is said that in the primeval era, the ancestors of the human race also lived in harmony with the demon race for a period of time, but I don't know what it was like at that time. ”
Someone said with emotion, but was immediately refuted by another person: "But it is difficult to live in harmony with different races, not to mention that in the primeval era, my human race should still be in the enlightenment period, where will there be historical records handed down, I think most of the so-called history books are also compiled by some people who are pro-demon clans." ”
The city lord, who had not spoken at the moment, also spoke again, nodded and said: "Regardless of whether that history is true or not, since the human and demon races were separated again after that, then this ending is enough to explain everything, the human race and the demon race, it is better to maintain the current relationship." ”
"That's true. ”
Everyone nodded and answered in unison.
Maybe the topic at the moment was a little heavy and not suitable for discussion in the current environment, and then everyone tacitly changed the topic and began to discuss some strange things around them, or some interesting things that happened to their own disciples, and so on.
Although under the interaction of many elders, Zhao Changfeng often interjected, but he was still in a bystander role, but Zhao Changfeng, who looked like this, found some rules.
From the previous conversation about the demon clan, everyone took the lead in throwing out a question, and then expressed different opinions to discuss with each other, at this time, the city lord is generally not in a hurry to speak, until everyone is about to discuss it, or when it is about to become intense, the city lord will say some of his own opinions, and often these views will be unanimously agreed by everyone, and then this matter can be regarded as a coffin in general, no longer discussed by everyone.
At this time, Zhao Changfeng suddenly found that the current scene was no different from the usual time when the city lord and his subordinates were deliberating, and the subordinates expressed their opinions one after another problem appeared, and then the city lord covered the coffin and made a conclusion.
It's just that all of this is being expressed in another way at this time.
"Hey, boy. ”
At this moment, a deep voice came from beside him.
Zhao Changfeng turned his head to look, but saw that on the right side of his side, a young man with an unkind expression poked his head out and said in a low voice: "You defeated me by sneak attack before, and made me lose face in front of everyone, you don't think this matter is over." ”
The young man's expression was not good, Zhao Changfeng took a closer look, and only then did he realize that this person was the first to make a move, and he was knocked into the skeleton of his whole body by himself.
