Chapter 661: Qiongluo City
In the middle of a vast jungle, stands a huge white city.
Tall white buildings are lined up, and from a distance they look like stalactites lined up in a regular pattern. The highest castle in the middle, the high point almost submerged into the clouds, indescribably majestic.
The city of Jongluo, the residence of the Jongro clan.
The territory ruled by this clan of demons is very extensive, and the total area is larger than the two Chu Yun Kingdoms. However, most of the members of the Qiongluo clan live in the city of Qiongluo, and even the peripheral members are also. The territory outside of Jongluo City is guarded by ordinary demons loyal to the Qiongluo clan.
The outside world doesn't understand the reason, but it is the custom of the Qiongluo family, but Zhang Nan vaguely guessed something. Most of the customs are hidden from people's eyes, and the real reason is only the emperor's golden body.
A demon who can draw power from Emperor Zun Jin and become a demon king is only possible for the Qiongluo clan. The golden body is in Qiongluo City, and if you live in Qiongluo City, you will be closer to the golden body. Whether it is out of superstition or the affinity of blood, living in Qiongluo City all year round is definitely better than being outside. In this way, when the demon king is selected, the chances of winning will be greater.
"This is Joan Luo City, it's my first time here. ”
"It's my first time, and it's really beautiful. ”
Before they arrived in front of the city, they only looked at it from a distance on the forest road, and the Yue sisters and brothers couldn't help but admire. The rest of the demons were also amazed, and only a few who had been here were triumphant, explaining to others.
Most of the demons' architectural styles are very rough and domineering, mostly made of boulders, and some of the metal and steel used in large cities. However, this Qiongluo City is different from any city in the Polar Demon State. The buildings here are all made of jade.
It is not a jade pile, but a special means to melt the jade into a slurry and pour it. Every house, every wall in the city, was made in this way, and it was made thousands of years ago. The latecomers continued to repair the original building, which remained unchanged for thousands of years. There is no more brick, no less tile.
The demons nodded, and Nalan Zishuang looked at Qiongluo City in the distance, and her eyes were a little strange.
Zhang Nan saw it really in the bracelet, and he felt a little bit in his heart.
The meaning of Nalan Purple Frost here is different from other demons. In a sense, the demons here are all her closest relatives.
Nalan Zishuang has grown up since she was a child, because of the identity of a half-demon and the curse on her body, no demon is close to her, and she has basically grown up by herself to the present. She is friendly to all the demons she comes across, and she will not resent, even if they don't like them, or even dislike them or have bad intentions. This is true for other demons, and for his parents, Nalan Zishuang naturally does not have any negative emotions.
But it wasn't until she was possessed by Zhang Nan that day and listened to Xuantong tell her life experience that Nalan Zishuang realized that she didn't have no grudges against her parents, but she just restrained herself and never thought about it. Once those things that were deposited in the bottom of his heart were turned out, Nalan Zishuang realized that his good thoughts were not absolute.
For the parents who gave birth to her, Nalan Zishuang has resentment and hatred. But at the same time, there is also attachment.
That day, Zhang Nan was in a hurry, and Yue Yi made a decision for her, and the reason why Nalan Zishuang did not object later was not entirely because of her temperament. More of a factor is the attachment to that trace of family affection. Although she didn't know who her father was, she really wanted to see with her own eyes the place where her mother lived and see her mother's compatriots and relatives in person.
"Let's go, let's go into town. Nalan Zishuang greeted, and the Yue sisters and brothers, Yan Hong and other demons followed behind, and walked towards the gate of Qiongluo City.
If it were someone else, even if there was a group of dog skin plasters with them, they should be made to wait outside the city when they arrived. But in Nalan Zishuang's opinion, they have already arrived at the city gate, how can she go in but let others wait outside, it is really rude.
At this time, on the avenue in front of Qiongluo City, there were many demons coming and going, most of them were running in the direction of Qiongluo City, and there were also some teams with a scale of more than 100.
The selection of the Demon King of Qiongluo is a grand event, and the last time was two hundred years ago. This time, three places were vacated at once, and not only many demons with Qiongluo bloodline rushed back, but also demons from other forces came to watch the ceremony. Although Nalan Zishuang's gang is a little more, it is not particularly eye-catching.
When I came to the city gate, there was a demon checking my identity. Seeing Nalan Zishuang approaching, a Five Realms demon stepped forward and raised his hand to stop him.
"Stop!"
The guard demon of the five realms said: "The selection of the Demon King of Qiongluo, friends from all walks of life are welcome to come and watch the ceremony." However, there are limited accommodations in the city, so there are some restrictions. If you come by yourself, only one person can enter the city. Directly under the Demon King, you can enter the tenth. Dare to ask Your Excellency, what are you ......?"
Nalan Zishuang hesitated, looked back, and saw the kind of gaze that was expectant and didn't want to be abandoned. Sighing, he asked the guard, "If it is directly under the emperor, how much can you enter the city?"
The guard couldn't help but smile: "If you have the Emperor Token, even if you have a thousand, you can enter the city." ”
These days, there are really many demons who want to enter the city under the banner of the emperor. And in the Polar Demon State, strictly speaking, all the demons are under the command of the Five Great Emperors. This reason is not very convincing. Unless, there is an emperor token.
But the Emperor Token is not a pass that can be seen everywhere, even if a certain Emperor Zun's cronies and demon kings may not have it, and generally only the envoys specially sent by the Emperor Zun will carry it. The selection of the Qiongluo Demon King is a big deal, but it is nothing in the eyes of the emperor. It's not strange to make small moves in private, but it's impossible to let a few emperors send envoys over.
"Emperor Zun token, I have it. Nalan Zishuang took out a token and handed it to the guard demon.
The guard demon took it and looked at it, and was dumbfounded.
The token of Emperor Zun Xuantong, thanks to this token, Nalan Zishuang and his party successfully came to Qiongluo City. Otherwise, with the extreme territorial concept of the demon, Nalan Zishuang, a large number of people, would have to be regarded as the pioneer of land grabbing, and he would have been beaten to the ground.
"Can we go into the city?" Nalan Zishuang naturally retrieved the token from the guard's hand.
The guard nodded a little dumbfounded, and watched as the mighty procession drove into the city.
When Nalan Zishuang and his party were gone, the guards suddenly woke up: "Quick, go and report the news, Lord Xuantong has sent an envoy to watch the ceremony!"
And somewhere far away, a powerful Demon Emperor sneezed.
"Calculate the time, they should have arrived in Qiongluo City. Xuan Tong muttered to himself. "It's better not to be too ostentatious, that place is unusual......"
