Chapter 249 Ten Thousand Years Human Emperor] This must be a big secret gossip, right?

Looking at the aunt in front of him who claimed to be a vegetable seller, he suddenly heard so many secrets about Merlin, Emperor Odin, King Lantis and other first-class people in the world, not only did he not have any pride and joy in his heart, but he was a little more afraid.

This, she knows so many things, Merlin's secret past, how is she coming from?

Sofia herself seemed to be a little in a state of melancholy, so she simply grabbed the bottle, raised her head and drank the wine in one gulp, then slapped the table hard and said, "Bring the wine!"

The one-eyed man who was hiding behind immediately responded, walked out with low eyebrows, and saw the empty wine bottle in front of Sofia, as well as the flush on his wife's face, and couldn't help but smile: "I said, you have rarely drunk alcohol, so let's drink less." ”

When Aunt Sofia heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, she slapped the table hard, and shouted: "Where is so much nonsense, let you take it!"

One-eyed, who is obviously a typical fearful character, suddenly shrunk his neck, sighed and ran down, and after a while, he brought a wine bottle up and put it on the table, but he stood there, looking at Aunt Sofia with some concern, and refused to leave.

"What are you doing in Yun'er?" Aunt Sofia raised her dry eyelids, hummed for a year, and shouted domineeringly: "Women talk, men don't come to do your work one by one!"

As soon as he said this, he was originally nervous in the °C, and almost laughed out loud on the spot.

One-eyed sighed, but because of his wife's obscenity, he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only run back to the back step by step, but he hid at the door and eavesdropped with his ears pricked up.

Aunt Sofia didn't know what her husband was doing, and she didn't care about it, she picked up the wine bottle in front of her, but this time she brought it to her mouth, and she didn't drink it for a long time, and finally sighed, put the wine bottle back on the table, looked up and stared at Nene, but suddenly asked very abruptly, "Little girl, do you know what are the strong people in the world today?"

Nene was stunned, this question was a bit clueless, but she hesitated for a moment, thought about it a little in her heart, and replied: "I heard that there are several great mages in the Byzantine Empire's Magic Guild, and their magic strength is outstanding, but they are low-key on weekdays and don't want to be exposed to others, so they are all very strong." I also heard that there was a great swordsman who decided in the past, who once saved the life of Emperor Cantos on the battlefield, and once fought against the Odin God Emperor alone, and I think he is also a strong man with superb martial arts. As for the rest...... In the Odin Empire, not to mention the strength of the God Emperor himself, there is also Hasting, known as the Odin Warrior God, who has fought countless battles in his life, but has never been defeated, and he does not know how many Byzantine generals he has killed under the three-edged war spear, and he is also a top powerhouse...... As for Lantis, naturally it's Merlin......"

Speaking of this, the sun suddenly flashed, and he said with a smile: "You old man, although I didn't see your origin, but I think you are also a strong man in the hidden world......

Aunt Sofia had a smile on her face: "What else?"

"And ......" Tun Nei frowned and thought for a moment, "I can't think of it." ”

Aunt Sofia glanced at Nene and suddenly asked, "You said Byzantium, Odin, and Lantis, but why did you forget the last force?"

When she said this, the sun flickered, and she seemed to be smiling, and her expression seemed to be a little mocking.

Listening, his expression was slightly moved: "You ......"

"Don't pretend to be stupid, I'm naturally talking about the Babylonian Free Territory!"

Nene's face changed suddenly, and he closed his jaw tightly.

If you talk about the three major forces in the human world today, they are naturally Byzantium, Odin, and the Kingdom of Lantis. But in addition to these three forces, there is also a special existence, the Babylonian Free Lord.

It's just that, compared to these three powers, the Babylonian Free Territory is too small.

As an independent force, the territory of the Babylonian Free Territory is weak, and as the name suggests, the so-called Free Territory is just a city-state. To the east of the continent, in the north-central part of the Realm of Chaos, this is another independent force of humanity.

When it comes to territorial size, the sphere of influence of this Babylonian free territory is not even a tenth of the size of a county in the Byzantine Empire.

But when it comes to a long history, this third-party power, which exists independently of the powerful empires of the continent, has a history that is even older and more legendary than the two thousand-year-old empires of Byzantium and Odin.

The Free Territory of Babylon is centered on the great ancient city of Babylon. And the ancient city of Babylon is the only city in this free territory...... Also the only territory.

In the ancient history of the continent, legend has it that in ancient times, before the Byzantine Empire and Odin appeared, there was a huge empire, and the territory of the ancient human empire encompassed the entire continent, and even most of the territories of the current Byzantine and Odin empires belonged to that great human empire in ancient times.

Unify the entire continent, a vast area and a strong country...... It is said that that ancient empire was once the most powerful time of mankind, and even other races had to bow their heads to the humans at that time.

But unfortunately, in the long historical years, the ancient super empire that was once rampant finally collapsed, and after a number of years, the changes of history, and finally the continent was divided into countless small countries, and thousands of years ago, Byzantium unified the southern part of the continent, and Odin unified the northern tribes, becoming a situation of confrontation between the north and the south of the continent.

The ancient empire that existed didn't even leave much of a record of its past history.

However, this ancient city of Babylon, which was once the imperial capital of that super empire in ancient times, has been preserved.

If the Osgillian Emperor is the first city on the continent now, it is the crystallization of the civilization of the Byzantine Empire. Then the ancient city of Babylon is the oldest city in the human world, and it is also the relic left by the most glorious era of the human world.

The city of Babylon is located in the Lords of Chaos, geographically sandwiched between Odin, Byzantium, and the Lords of Chaos. From ancient times to the present, it has maintained its status independent of the two empires and is a family of its own.

Although this power is extremely weak and has only one city, for thousands of years, no matter how the two empires of Odin and Byzantium have expanded externally, they have never had the idea of fighting the city of Babylon.

What's even more bizarre is that there is a similar legend in both the Odin Empire and the Byzantine Empire: the royal family has an iron law: Barbipity is a land that will never be conquered!

For thousands of years, the Odin Empire and the Byzantine Empire fought and made peace, whether Odin was stronger than Byzantium, or Byzantium was stronger than Odin, but the two empires really never sent even a single soldier to fight the idea of the Babylonian Free Lord.

And the Babylonian Free Lord, as a small city-state, has always maintained this posture of independence and freedom. Although the population of the Free Territory is small, most of them regard themselves as the inheritors of the ancient authentic civilization of mankind.

Moreover, because it has not been baptized by war for thousands of years, the Babylonian Free Territory has become the only safest and transcendent force on the continent. Because of this peculiar status, the Babylonian Free Territory became the most prosperous commercial region on the continent, and it was also the richest power in legend.

After thousands of years of peace, and a permanently neutral and independent position sandwiched between the two empires, the Babylonian Free Lords amassed an astonishing fortune. Legend has it that merchants from all over the world gather there almost every day, and the daily volume of transactions is staggering, and almost all the rarest and rarest goods in the world can be found there.

Legend has it that the walls of the city of Babylon were made of gold bricks, and every house was lit without lights, but with night pearls and precious stones, the city was lit up all year round, and the merchant groups of any country and power could be protected by free collar without being harassed.

More on the continent, the two empires, often appear to fight against the enemy, often once the two countries declare war, naturally begin to close off each other, and at this time, it is often the time for the Babylonian free lords to make a fortune, after all, once the trade routes are cut off, the merchant groups of the two countries must continue to trade, they must be carried out through the Babylonian free territories, which are always neutral and independent third parties.

Over time, the city of Babylon has one more name: the Eternal City.

As a free lord, Babylon's political system was also different from that of the three great powers of mankind at that time, and it was not a pure monarchy, but somewhat similar to the Nacha Senate system that existed in Byzantium.

In the Babylonian Free Territory, there was a guild of the Free Lords who were in charge of the management of the city, including the power to set tax rates, control the operation of the city, and so on. The entire guild was composed of merchants" in Babylon, the only region in the world today where there was no traditional "aristocracy."

And in the city of Babylon, there is also a special and transcendent existence, that is, the "city lord" of Babylon City0 The city lord is hereditary, and the legend says that the city lord is the royal descendant of the ancient human super empire, with the most noble blood among human beings in the world today, and is the real gate of the emperor and noble! If you must say that the only "noble" that exists in Babylon's free territory, then it is the "city lord" of Babylon.

The lord of the city had a transcendent and noble position in Babylon, but he did not have absolute dominion like the emperors of other empires, and although he was in a transcendent position, most of the power was still in the hands of the guilds. The lord of the castle only has immunity from the law, as well as the right of amnesty. At the same time, the lord of the city was not allowed to engage in any form of commerce, but he was able to receive a percentage of the annual income from the commerce of the city of Babylon.

With thousands of years of peace and endless trade, you can imagine what amazing wealth such a noble gate valve has accumulated!

Suffice it to say that if you talk about the most powerful families in the human world, some people may think that it is the Byzantine royal family, the Odin royal family, or the Lantis royal family......

But when it comes to the richest family, there is no doubt that it must be the lord of the city of Babylon!

This 10,000-year-old imperial bloodline has already been endowed with too many mysterious and legendary auras by the world, especially their pride and dignity.

There is a legend that hundreds of years ago, the Byzantine Empire was the most powerful era, almost overwhelming the Odin Empire, and it had the potential to defeat Odin, and once even had the momentum to reunify the continent. At that time, the emperor of the Byzantine Empire was full of pride and ambition, and he finally thought about the fat of Babylon, but because of the legendary iron law of the royal family, he did not dare to send troops to invade, but he came up with an idea and sent an envoy to Babylon to freely ask to see the city lord at that time, hoping to take the eldest daughter of the city lord of Wu as a wife, and promised that once he married a wife, he would give her the status of queen. And the Byzantine emperor's idea was also very cunning, "Legend has it that the city lord at that time had no children, and after the city lord died, after the emperor married the daughter of the city lord, he could justifiably strive to inherit the position of the city lord: with his own body, he had both the identities of the Byzantine emperor and the city lord of the Babiling, and he would naturally have the opportunity to annex Babylon by peaceful means in the future."

But as a result, the city lord did not hesitate to reject the powerful Byzantine royal family at that time. The reason for the refusal of the city lord at that time was simply arrogant to the extreme.

His reply was to the effect: Although you are the emperor of Byzantium, when it comes to bloodline, your ancestor is only a low-level nobleman, and I, the Babylonian family, were the real emperor of the human race in ancient times! How can you, the bloodline of a native chicken and wild dog, be qualified to match my daughter? Speaking of qualifications, any commoner in the city of Babylon, if you look back, the ancestry of your ancestors may be ten times more noble than that of the emperor of the Byzantine Empire! I want to marry my daughter, and when you really unify the continent and become the common emperor of the human race, let's talk about it!

Although the frightened Byzantine emperor was angry, he was helpless with Babylon, and finally he was able to give up.

And the legend of the Babylonian Free Territory also has a "It sits next to the Realm of Chaos!" after all!

Although the two great empires of mankind will not provoke it, the Realm of Chaos is not a human world! there are still elves and other races such as the legendary giants.

The attitude of those races towards humans has not been too friendly since time immemorial.

But Babylon is surrounded by tigers and wolves, but it is safe and sound, whether it is the proud elves or the giants, they rarely provoke the Babylon free lords, and even the irascible dwarves are willing to trade some of the iron they forge with the people of the Babylonian free lords.

The root cause is that legend has it that there is a mysterious protector in the city of Babylon.
