Chapter 138 Avoiding Trouble
In the land, Thousand Nights returns to the City of Blue Waves from the New World again.
Standing on the terrace of the Grand Duke's Mansion, the blue city in front of him made him feel quite unfamiliar.
In the distance, the edge of the city and the vast area beyond the city gates, which were originally slums full of low shacks and dirty excrement, have now been bulldozed in patches to build distinctive buildings.
From those neat and uniform styles, it can be seen that this is a demon colony, that is a blood clan, and werewolves are also divided into several areas, several styles, the Emerald Sea, the Grand Canyon and the Wind Leader werewolves have different preferences, and the werewolves from the continents of Eternal Night have their own preferences.
The same is true for the Terrans, who can see at a glance the Imperial style, the Zheng Guo style, the Neutral Land style, and so on.
The patches are neatly aligned, mostly cut into square shapes, separated by wide roads. In contrast, the places where the chieftains and priests lived in the city of blue waves looked like slums.
Those werewolf chief sacrifices are used to being arrogant, how can they stand this? In addition, don't look at the primitive and backward werewolves, but these chief sacrificers are not short of money in their hands. The resources accumulated over so many years can only be left to look at when there is no foreign trade, and with trade it is money.
When they saw the new buildings built by outsiders, their eyes lit up, and when they returned, they rebuilt their dwellings according to their own preferences, either by hiring Imperial craftsmen or by recruiting craftsmen from the Eternal Night.
As a result, the aristocratic district of the city of blue waves has also become a construction site, full of renovations and demolitions. But without completion, Qianye can see that the same area has different styles, and when it is completed, it will inevitably be all kinds of disorganized, and it is still not as uniform as the renovation of the slum.
In fact, the new plan for the slum was written by Song Hui, who was too lazy to pay attention to the mountains and rivers according to the imperial tradition, and simply drew a few straight horizontal and vertical lines on the map to separate the plots. The only contribution may be to make the roads wider.
It just so happens that the level of the sacrifices who are responsible for the construction of the werewolf is really limited, and the more complex planning is not understood at all, so this method of drawing squares is the most preferred, so it is implemented to the letter, and there is a new blue wave city today.
In addition to the residential area, a large area of land has been set aside and a special trading area has been built, and various shops have sprung up. From the bustling crowd, you can see that the gold coins are rolling in.
Qianye didn't care about such mundane things, and was about to return to the room, when suddenly a familiar figure appeared at the edge of the field of vision. He was slightly startled, his figure flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the man. Qianye's body method is already like a god at this moment, and he flickers in the void in the downtown area, and almost no one notices.
In front of Qianye, the man with a stubble on his face and a down-and-out body was William.
William looked up and was not surprised to see Qianye, sighed, and said, "You came just in time, I was looking for you." Invite me to a bar, I've been in a bad mood lately. ”
Qianye didn't say much, and said, "Go to my place or find a random place?"
William waved his hand, "Find a tavern, your place is space, and there is no atmosphere for drinking." ”
A thousand nights are indispensable, but fortunately, the city of blue waves is now inhabited by all ethnic groups, regardless of the eternal night of the empire, the demand for wine is the same, so large and small taverns have sprung up all over the city.
Qianye restrained his breath, and William was full of despair, and no one recognized the two at all. The two of them found a lively tavern and got into it, occupying a table in a corner.
Before he could sit down, William's nose moved, and he said, "In this kind of place, there is still a Lagrange? Ah, and the smell of Shirley, what is that? Saint Laurent?"
He called out several world-famous wine names in succession, and his eyes began to glow.
Qianye didn't know anything about wine, and in his opinion, the taste of any wine was almost the same. But since William was so interested, he called the waiter and said, "Do you have all the kinds of wine he just mentioned?"
The waiter looked proud, "My lord, don't look at our small store, but in fact, we are a famous chain of Eternal Night, with more than 400 branches in the three continents. Yong Lu, this is still the first one. As long as you've heard of good wine, we'll find it. ”
Qianye said: "Okay, take two bottles of each first." ”
"Three bottles!" William interjected.
The waiter was startled and said cautiously, "Two adults, this will cost a lot of money." ”
William slapped Qianye hard, "My brother has no other skills, just a lot of money!"
Qianye smiled bitterly, how could he carry any gold coins with him at this time? Other things in the Andua space are not suitable for showing financial resources, and it is estimated that the waiter will not know any of them. After thinking about it, his consciousness suddenly swept over the two boxes in the space, and his heart moved, and he had an extra potion in his hand, and said, "Pay with this." ”
The waiter took it and was taken aback, and said, "This is the Terran Sacred Tree Sap Elixir! ”
After a while, the table was full of large and small wine bottles, all of which were famous wines. William opened a bottle, tasted it, and praised, "Good wine!"
He tilted his head and poured most of the bottle into his stomach, and sighed, "I really didn't expect to be able to drink such good wine here." ”
"I didn't expect that either. "Qianye is telling the truth. The supply of luxury goods in one place represented the financial resources of that place, and he had no idea before today that Bibo City had surpassed the consumption power of the neutral land of Ayutthaya.
"Come on,!"
William didn't say much, just drank with his head down. He didn't speak, and Qianye didn't ask, just drank with him. In the blink of an eye, most of the wine bottles on the table between the two were empty.
Although William is strong, the amount of alcohol he is born with varies from person to person, and without using the Force to resist, he gradually loses his strength and his eyes begin to wander.
Qianye felt a little dizzy from the beginning, and still a little dizzy, and if she continues to drink it, she will probably always be a little dizzy.
William was clearly on his mind, and seemed to be trying to bring himself down.
When he was about eight or nine points drunk, William suddenly said: "Do you know, in this hellish world, as long as you are a little weaker, someone will want to divide you and eat meat! Without strength, there is no damn dignity!"
"I'll sympathize with what others say, but forget it. ”
"I've just experienced two soul openings, and I'm just a little faster than others. What's wrong with me?!" William was dissatisfied.
"Wait, what did you just say?soul opening?or twice?" Qianye now has fifty or sixty million werewolf people under his command, and he is already very clear about the affairs of werewolves.
Soul opening is a special ritual of werewolves, through a series of mysterious rituals held at the ancestral altar, to accept the various tests of the ancestral soul, and after passing the test, you can obtain part of the power of the ancestral soul.
Werewolves with soul opening qualifications are all geniuses among geniuses, and even so, the probability of being able to pass the test is very low.
Once they pass the test and get the blessing of the ancestors' souls, the strength of the werewolves will skyrocket, and there is even a record of two consecutive promotions. This kind of soul ascension is different from the Terran elixir, there are almost no side effects, and the power obtained is varied, some are pure physical power, some are stronger Force cultivation, and even one has become a prophecy master.
The existence of soul opening is one of the reasons why the Werewolf Ancestor Sect has been prosperous for a long time. It is precisely because of this ritual that strong people can continue to emerge in the tribes of the original form of werewolves, allowing werewolves to maintain the status of the four major clans.
In William's mouth, after two soul openings, it was as simple as eating and drinking.
"Then what is your current rank ......" Qianye asked cautiously after waking up for the most part. Under the decadent appearance, this William's strength has changed dramatically.
William seemed to have drunk too much, and seemed to be unsuspecting of Qianye, and said, "Duke." What can you do?"
He let out a long sigh and picked up the bottle and poured it violently.
"Wait, they're all dukes, and their rank is higher than mine, what is there to complain about?"
William glared at Qianye and said, "Don't say it's a duke, what can you do if it's a wolf ancestor who respects the wolf?"
"You mean, Holy Mountain?"
William nodded, his face gloomy, just sullen and drinking.
The wolf ancestor is about to die, and that's it. The wolf venerable at the top of the peaks is in his prime, and if he can suppress him and bow his head, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the supreme to do it easily. Most of the two supremes on the Holy Mountain joined forces, so that the werewolf had to bow his head, and William would be depressed to this point.
William looked at Qianye and suddenly said, "Guess what, why did I come to you?"
Qianye leaned back and said, "You won't be looking for me to fight for wine, you won't ask for hardship." ”
William glared at Qianye, his lips moved, and he wanted to say a few cruel words, but he finally retained the last bit of sobriety, knowing that fighting with Qianye was only a dead end, and he couldn't let go of these few hard words.
However, after such a break, William's depression was also reduced a lot. He sighed and said, "Actually, I came to you to avoid trouble. ”
"Avoiding trouble?"
William's face was gloomy and he said, "For thousands of years, I am the only werewolf who has undergone two soul openings. The Wolf Venerable blocked the news and asked me to leave the werewolf's territory and travel outside. In fact, I was afraid that I would be drafted into the new world. Once there, your fate is not in your own hands. ”
Qianye also had some understanding of the current situation in the new world, and said, "You mean, the victim?"
William laughed at himself, "Is there a better goal than me?" In order to kill me, I'm afraid that the King of Qingyang will rush to do it, right?"
Qianye sighed, and from his point of view, he really didn't know what to do. From the standpoint of the empire, William's value is still above Hierro, and if he can kill him, he will naturally not hesitate.
But all along, Thousand Nights has never been able to treat William as a real enemy. Not only did William save him many times when he was weak, intentionally or unintentionally, but as a nobleman of the eternal night, William did not specifically target the Dawn camp or the Terrans. He is more like a loner, looking for a gray area in the middle of the two camps.
"If they really do this, I'm afraid it will be equivalent to completely turning against the werewolves, right?"
"Wolf Ancestor and Wolf Venerable are worried about this, so let me leave and don't give them this chance. William's voice was particularly desolate.
