Chapter 5: Starlight the Great
The sky was blue, and white clouds were set in the sky, like white diamonds set in blue armor. March is like a song, all things are singing, the south wind warms the window, the cherry trees bloom like pink butterflies, dancing like clouds, the magnolia blooms, the goddess scatters the flowers, the trees are full of snow, the snow is like cotton, the forsythia is full of branches and gold, the bustling is all spring, the long willows are like a girl's charming arms, people think about it, the poplars have peeled off the pale and changed into green clothes, and the heroic posture is sassy; the torso of the sycamore has also begun to turn green, and you can see her new leaves like goose's paws in a few days.
With such beautiful weather, it is the most suitable for traveling, so Catherine took Li Ming to wander around the imperial capital.
It's been three days since that meeting. Li Ming suddenly wanted to see the world because he saw the soul car, and since the party was over, Li Ming asked Catherine to take him out for a walk.
Counting that today is the fourth day, Catherine is a little tired of wandering every day, but Li Ming is still happy.
"We've all walked around the big and small places in this imperial capital, I said you still want to go there," Catherine said weakly to Li Ming in the sea of souls. And he was snorting while talking.
Catherine has really been tired these days, not to mention walking around during the day, the problem is that Li Ming also has to go out at night, according to Li Ming's words, the things embodied at night are different from the day.
Li Ming is a soul body and does not need to sleep. But Catherine wasn't. Every time I wander around until almost dawn, although Catherine is already a soul master, she can't hold it if she goes on like this.
"Well, go to the slums. Li Ming also knew that he was going too far, and his tone was a little weak.
"Slums? Why are you going there again, didn't you just go there yesterday? Could it be because of Earl Buck," Catherine was a little puzzled.
"It's not because of him, don't worry, I don't have such a pervasive sense of justice, I have other things. Li Ming shook his head and said.
Since it wasn't for Count Barker, there was nothing too big of a deal, and Catherine said "slums" to the guards beside her, and the guards would naturally take Catherine where she wanted to go.
Catherine took the opportunity to be in the car, squinted for a while, and rested, which exhausted her to death. Li Ming didn't know what was wrong. You have to visit the imperial capital, and there is no distinction between black and white. However, Catherine did not complain at all, but was a little happy, as a contractor, Catherine knew that Li Ming was identifying with her little by little, but sometimes Catherine could still feel a trace of estrangement between her and Li Ming, and now I don't know why this estrangement is gone. Li Ming treated her casually, like a friend for many years, which made Catherine very happy.
In fact, Li Ming's idea was to quickly get along with Catherine, so that she could help him realize his plan. deliberately pretended to be very emotional, and it was difficult for Catherine to refuse when she was making a request.
Since knowing about the soul car, Li Ming has already begun to prepare for himself to go home.
The crowded streets, the constant shouting, and the juggling of some people. And storytellers.
"It is said that 10,000 years ago, the Starlight Emperor was the founder of our Galaxy Empire, that was a real invincible existence, suppressing the major alien races in the northwest, and the orders issued were not to be disobeyed, at that time, the territory of our Star River Empire was not only our continent, other continents were ours, and there were many alien races crying and shouting to become our people, hoping that their land would be under the protection of our Star River Empire. A middle-aged man dressed in a robe, on a high platform, said to the audience below, the glorious history of the Star River Empire.
Li Ming asked Catherine to stop and sit in the car listening to the storyteller's story. Li Ming, the Starlight Emperor, still knows, he is the founder of the Starlight Empire, no one knows the origin of the Starlight Emperor, as soon as he appeared, he had supreme power, directly subdued several small countries, and created the Starlight Empire.
The start-up country did not have much strength, and there were constant internal strife, after all, it was formed by the merger of several small countries, but relying on the strength of the Starlight Emperor's pinnacle to continue to expand outward, and suppress the internal contradictions through victories again and again. The result of the victory was to expand the territory and increase the population, and the Galaxy Empire, which had tasted the sweetness, once again went to attack other countries and subdue the aliens.
It can be said that if this trend continues, the same continent is just around the corner. But at this time, the Starlight Emperor didn't know why he disappeared, and this also laid the groundwork for the decline of the Starlight Empire, in the first few years, the people of the Starlight Empire did not care in the slightest, but with the passage of time, people can no longer contact the Starlight Emperor, some people have other thoughts, the Starlight Empire has a huge territory, there are many entanglements of interests, when the Starlight Emperor is there, it can still be suppressed, but the Starlight Emperor is not there is no one in charge, no one obeys anyone, the Starlight Empire began to fight, and without the suppression of the Starlight Emperor, the alien races that surrendered to the Starlight Empire also began to move, under this kind of internal and external troubles, only in the fiftieth year of the disappearance of the Starlight Emperor, it broke out, the Galaxy Empire continued to fight, uprisings in various places, and all the alien races under the jurisdiction of the Star River Empire demanded independence. The Galaxy Empire was eventually divided into three, namely the Galaxy Empire, the Starlight Empire, and the Star-Moon Empire. The Galaxy Empire, whose strength has been greatly damaged, can no longer hold on to its huge territory, and it is slowly shrinking, and in the end, there is only this now.
The reason why Li Ming is interested in this Starlight Emperor is not only because he is the founder of the Starlight Empire, but also because historical records suspect that the Starlight Emperor is not a person from this world, and some people speculate that the Starlight Emperor may have returned to his original world.
So about the news of the Starlight Emperor, Li Ming paid great attention to it.
The storyteller next told the story of the Emperor Xinghe's suppression of the Surabaya tribe, and Li Ming listened to it for a while before listening, and motioned for Catherine Kay to leave, and he found that there was something wrong with the storyteller. There are many places that are not old at all. But he doesn't blame him, because he doesn't know any of this history. A lot of things are just made up on their own.
After all, that was 10,000 years ago, except for some big families, who left history books, and no one else would know about them, and the people of the big families would not show these books to outsiders.
The soul chariot continued to move forward, and after a while, it went out of the inner city and came to the outer city, where the slum was in the northwest corner of the outer city, where the lowest people of the city lived.
