Chapter 40: On the Road

Aveline nodded, and didn't ask, why Chu Xiaocheng was in such a hurry to help Xiaoyue City, and it was also directly related to the Fire Sect. Based in Dawn Moon City, the Fire Sect began to send people to the remote mountainous areas of Dawn City to preach. Fortunately, in the humanistic city of Chuxiaocheng, the poor people are subsidized by the city hall, and no one is bewitched. But there are always some barefoot speculators who want to do it. The so-called barefoot are people who have nothing, and these people are willing to take risks and do something with a high rate of return. Assuming that Xiaoyue City can list the Fire Sect as a cult, then Chu Xiaocheng will not be affected by the Fire Sect, which is also an important reason why Chu Xiaocheng shows favor and does not want to be disturbed by the Fire Sect.

Because the Fire Cult of Akatsuki City is legitimate, the Force Alliance rejects Hyoka City's application to join the Alliance, and with the Alliance's trade priority criterion, Akatsuki City's food reserves have always been balanced, which is also a political consideration. Considering that if the Fire Sect is in charge, curbing the food in Dawn Moon City will be able to prevent the Fire Sect from starting a war. The Fire Cult has been advocating the threat of Dusk City to the west of Dawn Moon City, the two cities have a history of grievances for hundreds of years, and the distance is less than 300 kilometers, and there are direct roads, once the Fire Sect obtains the power of Chuxiao City, it is very likely that they will send a fungus team to the border of Dusk City for territorial disputes. War has a butterfly effect, so the Alliance countries have always paid close attention to Dawn Moon City. Dawning Moon City can be said to have been suppressed by the alliance countries because of the legitimate reasons of the Fire Sect, which gave the Fire Sect a reason to provoke Dawn Moon City to be hostile to the Alliance.

……

The special train arrived, everyone got on the train together, and the means of transportation and logistics had been transported to Linshi Village yesterday. The maximum sentence for these prisoners is seven years, and the minimum sentence is three years, and the possibility of escape or troublemaking is relatively low. But even then, there are dozens of security guards and multiple police officers in charge. Although there are so many people, transporting grain in the past is a drop in the bucket, but it can achieve a stable effect, and then as soon as the sea ship arrives, it can solve the situation of food shortage that is about to enter winter.

On the train, everyone talked about Xiaoyue City and the Fire Sect, Xiaoyue City has been legalized by the Alliance for decades because of the large number of Fire Sect believers and the legalization of the Fire Sect. This coalition nation is not the Force Alliance. The countries of the Alliance, known as the Eternal Alliance, are a grand alliance in politics, fungi, commerce, agriculture, etc., and the members of the Force Alliance are also members of the Eternal Alliance, but the Force Alliance does not interfere in diplomacy and politics, and is not under the leadership of the Eternal Alliance. Unless there is a dispute between the countries of the alliance that cannot be resolved, and the impact is serious, the Force Alliance will come forward and hold a competition, and the winner will get favorable conditions. It may seem unfair to the losing side, but when both sides have a reason, it is a relatively appropriate means to avoid the outbreak of war.

The core concept of the Fire Cult is that divine power is higher than political power, and in the early feudal system, it was very marketable. However, with the development of planetary civilization, most countries no longer have emperors, and the common people elect leaders instead, and the privileged class is abolished, so that the influence of the Fire Cult is greatly reduced. A country with sound medical and social welfare protection, such as Chu Xiaocheng, has few opportunities to take advantage of. But no matter how developed the civilization is, there will always be myths, and there will always be believers, such as the Cult of God, the number one religion on the Eternal Planet, who also supports theism. The difference is that you can not believe in the gods of the Divine Religion, you will not be unlucky, and all people are equal. And if you don't believe in the gods of the Fire Cult, you will be unlucky and treat non-Fire cult people as heretics.

The core countries dominated by the Fire Cult are all in the Middle Continent, which is the holy land of the Fire Cult. There are no Fire Cult countries in the Eastern Continent, but there are several countries that consider Fire Cult to be legitimate. The Eternal Alliance has been communicating and negotiating with these countries, and these countries also hope that their own freedom of belief will not be used as a reason for discrimination by the Alliance.

With a total population of 12 million people, Dawn Moon City is a famous mining country on the Eternal Planet, rich in coal, gold, diamonds, jade, and other resources. In particular, coal mines are the main coal supply areas of the Eastern Continent, and the civil strife in Xiaoyue City is definitely not a good thing for the Eastern Continent. Except for the strict transportation of grain, there are no restrictions on other goods, so Xiaoyue City is still a fairly rich country. However, the gap between the rich and the poor is very large, the life of the mine owners is extravagant and erosive, and the livelihood of the people at the bottom is difficult to be guaranteed, although the government has raised taxes and increased welfare, but it is difficult to reverse the phenomenon of the gap between the rich and the poor in the short term.

The train arrived at Quarry Township at 5 p.m., and the bus was ready to transport people to Linshi Village, the most border area. Linshi Village, which has less than 100 residents, is very lively, and all work is being carried out in an intense and orderly manner. Early the next morning, a long team of horses set foot on the ancient road to Dawn Moon City.

As a striker, last night, the four of Beiyue had already set off. They first took the ancient road, and then, according to Shanbo's map, walked in a southwesterly direction and entered the road. The highway is full of all kinds of rocks, among which basalt is the majority, small gravel has been blown by the wind for many years, and it is scattered everywhere, and the road is more than 50 kilograms of rock, and even tons of rock.

At the entrance of the road, you can see three craters, ranging from 10 to 40 kilometers, these are small and medium-sized volcanoes, if it is a super volcano, Linshi Village will be affected. The entrance to the road is fine, although it is covered with stones, but except in some places, the horse team can walk normally. Fifty kilometers later is the completely rocky area, which is the most difficult distance for the horse team to climb.

Kitatsuki wasn't here to see if the road was smooth for the horses, they were here to see if there were Force animals. The four of them separated and conducted a comprehensive search on the route with a diameter of five kilometers. The search method is very simple, using the way of the underworld, spreading the Force on the ground as much as possible, as long as it comes into contact with the anomalous force, it can be discovered.

This ability is related to the force equivalent, Cui Ming and Li Qing are in a group, Cui Ming's force can only expand out of a range of sixty meters in the underworld. Ding Ze is ninety meters in range, Beiyue has reached one hundred and eighty meters, and Li Qing is actually two hundred and thirty meters high. Everyone drove the Force, and then jumped left and right on the stones, covering and searching. At first, Cui Ming did what Aveline asked him to do earlier, but then it turned sour, after all, it was very boring, and the speed of progress was very slow.

Kitatsuki has a lot of energy, jumps, jumps, and is tireless. Ding Ze can teleport and fly around lazily. Li Qing is the fastest, 50 meters of brushing, 50 meters of brushing...... This work is tiring for Cui Ming. Jumping around, if one of them is not stepped on well, or if the force is not mastered well, it may crash into the rock, or even jump into the crevice of the rock. Cui Ming inevitably began to slack off, and said: "I will prepare food for everyone." ”
