Shang Rong originally felt that although he was not very knowledgeable, he still had some insight, but in the past half a month, everything he had seen was subverting his common sense. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not long after joining the War Clan, he knew what kind of place the so-called War Capital was.

The city of the Wu Clan, in other words, is also the city of demons in the eyes of the people of the empire, but it is the human beings who came out of such a place and saved their group of refugees.

In fact, countless refugees have been rescued, and those displaced people whose homes have been destroyed by the attack of brutes but have not been saved by the empire have almost all been saved by an invisible search and rescue net secretly laid out by the war capital.

But even if it is a life-saving grace, when the true side of the war capital is revealed, there will still be homeless people who can't accept this fact, after all, the Wu clan is regarded as a demon in the empire for nearly two hundred years, and that kind of concept has been ingrained in the war, so that some people have a strong fear of the war capital.

Living sacrifices, flesh and blood devouring, even Shang Rong himself had the same impression of the Wu clan in his mind.

However, he was surprised to find that the War Capital did not adopt the legendary demonic methods against these outcasts because of this, but instead provided them with a place to live near the War Capital, and only asked them not to return to the Imperial Capital.

In this way, there are many examples of escape, but the war capital is in the vast southern wilderness, and there is still a long distance away from the territory of the abandoned boat empire, and it is impossible for the weak and weak outcasts to escape back to the empire alive, except for a very few people who were killed by the brute beasts that suddenly appeared halfway, most of them were rescued by the patrol troops sent by the war capital.

After three times and two times, many homeless people finally felt the kindness of the War Capital, and their fear of the Wu Clan gradually subsided, and people began to make continuous requests to join the War Capital.

In this way, the war between the Xuanwu Domain and the White Tiger Domain continued, and a large number of homeless people emerged in the third-level towns and cities that were destroyed one after another, and the War Capital guided most of the homeless people who were wandering near the border into the Southern Wilderness without the empire knowing, and then changed their concepts with the passage of time.

The Wu clan is quietly rising!

However, Shang Rong no longer knew the situation of the War Capital, because he was selected to participate in a mission, and he didn't know the content of the task, but he followed one of the leaders of the War Clan, Hei Dag, and entered the territory of the empire again, and spent half a month crossing the Xuanwu and Qinglong domains, and entered the northern desert in the north of the empire.

Compared with the Southern Wilderness, the Northern Desert is even more desolate, and there is almost an endless stretch of cold sand.

That's right, the temperature of the Northern Desert is extremely low, in stark contrast to the Vermilion Bird Domain, as if the fiery sky has absorbed all the temperature of the Northern Desert, leaving only a cold and lifeless sand land undulating in silence.

The place where they stayed at the moment was the largest sand cave they had seen in many days, and judging by the size of the hole, it seemed to be extremely stable.

At the front of the group, Hadag and a person beside him were whispering, their voices seemed to be deliberately muffled, so that no one else could hear them.

Shang Rong couldn't help but look at the black-clothed figure again.

This person is wearing a cloak and mask, and he is extremely eye-catching in the silver-clad crowd, and he has never shown his face since he set out from the war capital, and no one has heard him speak except for Hedage, but everyone can see that this person's status is by no means lower than Hedage, Shang Rong even noticed that Hedage paid great attention to this person's attitude along the way, and it seemed that the person in charge of this operation was not him, but this different man in black.

However, among the several leaders of the War Clan, Shang Rong didn't remember that there was such a person at all.

After a while, Hadag stopped whispering, turned to look at the people, and said, "Let's set up camp here!"

The people who were instructed to act very quickly, quickly sorted out everything, and set up camp near the sand cave, but Shang Rong, who had been silently paying attention to Hedage, found that the man in black said hello to Hedage halfway, and then walked into the black sand cave alone.

"Let's rest!"

Without saying anything, Hadage went into his tent, and without asking much about it, except for the sentry, the rest of the people, including Shang Rong, entered their tents, and soon melted into the silence of the sand.

I couldn't hear the sound of birds and beasts, only the intermittent footsteps of the sentry room, which should have been a very suitable time to rest, but Shang Rong was never able to sleep.

He always felt that something was going to happen soon.

This lingering intuition made him toss and turn, but he didn't get the slightest sleep.

I don't know how long later, Shang Rong suddenly heard someone coming out of a tent, and an inexplicable impulse drove him to open his curtain and burrow out half of his body to find out.

The person who came out of the account was none other than Hadag.

Hadag walked up to the sentry and whispered a few words to them, and then they nodded and got up and went into the other tents.

Substitute?

Shang Rong had some doubts in his heart, after all, no matter how you say this kind of work, it is not Hei Dag's turn to do it.

When everyone had entered the tent, Hadag took out a thin tube and put it in his mouth, and without any movement, wisps of smoke began to erupt from between his mouth and nose, but slowly drifted through the air.

Is that......

Shang Rong was still identifying the source of the smoke when he suddenly felt like he was being watched.

Looking up, in the midst of the smoke, Hadag was squinting behind a half-mask, looking at him with a very flat look.

After looking at it for a moment, Hadag turned his head unconcernedly, and continued to puff out the smoke, which made people feel extremely comfortable.

Seeing that his snooping was discovered, Shang Rong was suddenly a little embarrassed, and it was obvious that Hedage didn't care, so he thought about it and simply got out of the tent and walked towards Hedage.

Before he could get closer, he heard Hadag's voice.

"You say, how can dreams and reality be distinguished from false?"

Shang Rong was stunned, completely unexpectedly that he would hear such a question.

Without waiting for Shang Rong to answer, Hei Dag shook his head, hooked the corners of Shang Rong's mouth with a sideways look, and then raised the thin tube in his hand.

"Jia Lanye, do you want two bites?"

With his eyes glancing at the tube, Shang Rong shook his head and politely declined the proposal.

Jialanye, a kind of snowy vegetation abundant in the eastern part of the empire, was originally used as a medicine because of the anesthetic effect, and later someone invented a special processing method to make Jialanye into a filament that can spontaneously combust when it comes into contact with a large amount of air, and the feeling of drifting caused by the smoke produced by inhaling made it popular in the empire for a while.

It's just that the production of Jialanye in the empire is not large, and the development of entertainment value has greatly reduced the inventory as medicine, and finally the imperial capital had to issue relevant bans to restrict the entertainment use of Jialanye to ensure its drug inventory, so that this kind of item similar to the earth's cigarettes is no longer common, and Shang Rong also knew the other uses of Jialanye because there was an elder in the family who was particularly fond of smoking.

Hedage shrugged his shoulders, put the Jialan Leaf Tube back into his mouth and took two more bites, and then said, "Are you still used to the life of the War Clan?"

Shang Rong nodded: "It's much better than I imagined." ”

"Heh, imaginary us, probably a group of heinous demons, right?"

With an embarrassed smile, Shang Rong didn't know how to answer.

"Whew, tease you, don't care. Spit out another puff of smoke, and Hei Dag asked with a misty look in his eyes: "Shang Rong, you are a smart person, in your opinion, what will the future of the empire look like?"

The future of the empire?

Shang Rong pondered for a while: "Two hundred years ago, the Emperor of the Abandoned Boat conquered the territory of today's empire surrounded by brute beasts, and no one dared to deny his prowess and strategy, but in the past two years, the empire has always been in a conservative state, and the signs of the brute beasts are becoming more and more serious, plus ......"

His voice paused abruptly, and Hadag took a puff of cigarette and picked up his words: "In addition, the empire is not at peace internally, and there are opportunists like us who are secretly watching, and there are both external and internal troubles, so the empire can be said to be in a very dangerous situation, right?"

Shang Rong opened his mouth and nodded.

However, Hadag chuckled: "It's a pity, no matter how conservative the empire's posture is, it is still a sleeping dragon, even with its eyes closed, it is not an existence that we can easily touch, and when we open our eyes, the war clan is just a joke." ”

In the smoke of Jialanye, the misty eyes under the mask looked extraordinarily relaxed, but they revealed a pessimism that made Shang Rong's heart frightened.

"But. Hadag continued, "No matter how great this dragon used to be, it is now a sick dragon, and the source of the disease is not the Warclan, but some of its original problems. ”

Inhale, exhale.

"The rise of the war clan may not have any results in the end, but it can definitely dig a piece of meat from the body of the dragon of the empire, and it is diseased meat, so that no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it is also meaningful, isn't it?"

Shang Rong was still thinking about the meaning of Hadage's words, but suddenly felt an unusual vibration from the ground under his feet, at first it was extremely slight, as if it was an illusion, but as time passed, the tremor became stronger and stronger, and finally the naked eye could see the trembling of the gravel in the sand, and the center of everything was the black sand hole.

"What, what's going on?"

Shang Rong, who was in shock, looked at Hei Dage, and his eyes were just a plain face.

"Take another suck, it's good that the girl isn't there. ”

Taking a sharp breath, the thumb and index finger of Hedage's right hand pinched the front end of the Jialan leaf tube, blocked the cigarette mouth, and then exhaled a thick smoke in his mouth, put away the cigarette pipe and turned his back to the sand hole, looking at the people who felt the abnormality drill out of the camp one after another, and his face was calm.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a continuous loud noise, and the sand where everyone was located suddenly sank, and the entire camp rolled to the ground with the flow of sand, and everyone staggered, but Hedag stood firmly.

Shang Rong, who was closest to him, saw that those eyes were no longer blurred, but glowed with an incomparably bright light.

Bang!

At the end of the loud bang that lasted for half an hour, they seemed to have fallen into an underground world that did not see the light of day, and there was not a single ray of light, which made them not understand their situation for a while.

But soon, a hole opened overhead, drawing in the moonlight, and in the darkness illuminated, everyone saw Hadag, and the man in black out of him, and the endless flat world behind the man in black.

It's a whole new underworld!

Hadag stretched out his hands and basked in the moonlight, the sound wafting into everyone's ears.

"Welcome to our new home, the City of Spirits!"
