Chapter 64: Nanxiao City
Nanxiao City, the first Xiongcheng in Tiannan County.
Unlike Zifeng City, a big city that is known for its scale and commercial prosperity, Nanxiao City is completely the first city in the "hard power" of martial arts development, and it is a well-deserved first city in Tiannan County!
Not to mention anything else, including the Governor's Palace, several wealthy families in Tiannan County are located here, and based on this alone, the status of Nanxiao City is worthy of being the "first capital" of Tiannan County.
And the scale of such a majestic city is naturally extremely amazing, and when I saw it for the first time, I was shocked by Lin Sheng.
When he and several deacons from the Governor's Mansion walked out of the spatial teleportation array after several spatial teleportations, the scene in front of him really made him take a deep breath.
The location they had teleported to was the edge of Nanxiao City, but unlike the bustling crowd that Lin Derivation expected, what they were in front of them was a boundless grassland, and the plains were overgrown with weeds, growing into the sky, and they were all almost to Lin Derivation's waist.
On the grassland, from time to time, you can see groups of fierce beasts running by, and in the distance visible to the naked eye, you can even see some fierce beasts or demon beasts fighting fiercely for various reasons such as territory or food, and the flying bones and blood stain the weeds on the ground!
However, although such a scene is rare, it is nothing, and what really shocked Lin Yuan was the majestic city at the end of their field of vision!
Under the scorching sun, a giant steel city sits on the grassland like an ancient monster beast crawling under the sun, shocking the eyes and hearts of Lin Derivation.
The giant city is surrounded by the vermilion city wall, tall and heavy, like a steel jungle, in which the majestic buildings cover the sky and the sun, one by one more than a thousand feet high, like a giant peak towering in the city, in the center of the giant city, a thick beam of light inserted into the clouds, spread out in the sky, into a huge shield, enveloping the entire giant city.
The source light on the shield flickered, faintly, forming three big characters - Nanxiao City.
"Is this Nanxiao City......" In front of the giant city that could not be seen at a glance, Lin Cheng muttered to himself, this giant city is majestic beyond his imagination!
At the same time, he was also a little puzzled, the momentum and scale of this Nanxiao City were worthy of being the first male city in Tiannan County, but it was just what he thought...... How is it a little different?
"Little Brother Lin, we have arrived, there is the city gate, we ......" A deacon of the Governor's Mansion smiled as he pointed to a vermilion gate that was as thick as the Heavenly Divine Gate in the distance, but at the same time, he also noticed the confusion and shock on Lin Yuan's face.
"Little Brother Lin, do you think that the momentum of this Nanxiao City is too strict?" This deacon was well-informed, so he naturally understood what Lin Yuan was thinking, and said with a smile.
"Well, this city is not as ...... as I thought"
Seeing through his thoughts, Lin Derivation also took the opportunity to ask, and said thoughtfully: "Popular!"
"Popularity? Do you think that as the premier male city in Tiannan County, Nanxiao City should be overcrowded? ”
The deacon was not surprised by this question, and explained: "Nanxiao City, although it is the power and political center of my Tiannan County, but in terms of population, it is less than one-tenth of other cities, because most of the people in this city are martial artists!"
Lin Yuan nodded clearly, if most of them are martial artists, then even if the population is smaller, it doesn't matter, after all, they are all elites.
However, even if there are many warriors, there is no need to build it so rigidly, right?
The deacon pointed to the vermilion city gate in the distance, "Little brother, so many warriors have gathered here, it's not for them to watch, look there!" ”
Lin Zhenhua looked down, only to find that by the city gate, there were many flying boats floating in the sky, and among the flying boats, there were countless fierce giant birds, some of these giant birds were covered in scales, some were colorful, and some had dragon heads! All of them exude a powerful aura, and at first glance they are extremely powerful demon beasts.
On these demon beasts, Lin Xian could faintly see that there were figures riding on these demon beasts.
He thought with his ass that these people who could ride on demon beasts must not be simple people!
"Nanxiao City is different from other prosperous cities in Tiannan County, he is established in the northernmost part of Tiannan County, little brother, maybe you don't know, the northern border of Tiannan County is also the northernmost point of my Thunder Sky Divine Kingdom! With so many warriors gathered here, you should be able to guess their mission, right? The deacon's voice was low.
"They're going to ...... Border? Lin was stunned.
"That's right, it's the border! Although my Thunder Sky Divine Kingdom is extremely powerful and has a vast territory, it is not the only master of this land, not to mention other directions, let's just say that in the north of the Divine Kingdom, there are two Divine Kingdoms that are also not to be underestimated, and there are even more vast northern wastelands and endless demon beasts! These have to be guarded against! ”
The deacon couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "And the task of defense can only fall on us warriors, although we enjoy the respect of people on weekdays, but their stability is also earned by us!" Not to mention anything else, our Governor of Tiannan County, as well as the heads of the three major families, have to be stationed here all year round, and since the Governor took office, he has personally set a strict order to recruit soldiers, ensuring that the number of warriors in Nanxiao City is always more than half of the entire Tiannan County! This is also why Tianxiao City is so strict, and it really has to be guarded against. ”
The deacon's face was full of reverence, and he saluted in the direction of Nanxiao City.
"And as far as I know, not only Tiannan County, but also at least four or five counties in the north are like this, but if there is really a war, in these counties, almost a dozen or so hero-level figures will have to be under the control of our governor." Speaking of this, the deacon smiled proudly, "The strength of our Tao Governor is among the best among all the male lords of the Thunder Sky Divine Kingdom!" ”
"I see, this Nanxiao City is really of great significance!"
Lin Cheng was also in awe when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at the giant city in the distance, in the wild wind, the wild grass moved violently, but Tianxiao City stood on the plain and let the wind howl, still immovable!
The vermilion city wall seemed to contain the blood of countless Terran warriors, keeping foreign enemies out in the midst of slaughter and bloodshed.
This city not only stabilized the safety of Tiannan County, but also suppressed the peace of the entire Thunder God Kingdom in a sense!
The strategic significance of the city, and the spirit contained in it, deserve the respect of the forest.
"Let's go! Let's go into town! ”
The deacon took out a flying boat and rushed towards Nanxiao City at great speed, and a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the gate of Tiannanxiao City.
The gates looked even more majestic and tall when viewed up close, and two groups of soldiers stood in front of the gates, stopped them, and questioned them.
"Quenching Peak...... It's just a soldier guard......"
Looking at these soldiers wearing silver armor and carrying swords at their waists, with amazing momentum, Lin Cheng secretly smacked his tongue, and he could use the powerhouses at the peak of the Quenching Blood Realm as soldiers, and the essence of Nanxiao City could be seen.
"My vision...... Sure enough, it's still too narrow, if you don't enter the Martial Mansion, maybe you can only sit in the well and watch the sky for the rest of your life, right? ”
Lin Derivation muttered to himself, although he had long heard of the big cities of the Thunder Xiao Divine Kingdom and the strong background of the big families, but when he really saw that these blood-quenching powerhouses who were already unattainable in Tai'an Town could only be reduced to soldiers, Lin Derivation was still shocked.
It's not that he hasn't seen strong people, Qingyu, Tao Yunshen and even Old Man Meng are all strong people, but they are just one person, and they don't show their might on weekdays, so it's hard to show anything.
But at this time, Lin Derivation really knows what "heritage" is!
A border giant city is already like this, it is hard to imagine what kind of background those sects and even princely mansions will have, the vast and ancient Thunder Sky Divine Kingdom, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the strength is unimaginable!
He has a long way to go to stand out among these people!
The Governor's Mansion had obviously greeted him a long time ago, Lin Cheng showed his admission letter from the Lei Xiaowu Mansion, and after the guards checked it, they let him in, and the group went straight to the Governor's Mansion after entering.
And on the way, Lin Zhen also saw a lot of shops - there are many martial artists here, and many martial artists who come to "serve" also need to carry out their own cultivation.
There is a special market in Nanxiao City, which has many exchanges, cultivation places, and even martial arts arenas.
Because they were not in a hurry to rush to the Governor's Palace, the group took a stroll on the road, and Lin Cheng entered some shops, all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, divine weapons, and demon beast relics.
All kinds of treasures can be described as priceless.
He finally knew why the population of Nanxiao City was small, but the economy was still very developed, it was really that the things traded here were too valuable, and the price of a demon beast relic was enough to make mortals worry about food and clothing for a lifetime......
Although Qingyu left a lot of gold coins for Lin Xian before leaving, and Old Man Meng also gave him some coils, those money added up here......... Let's just buy a hair......
Turning all the way down, all kinds of good things really opened his eyes and made his eyes very hot.
Reluctantly leaving the martial arts market, Lin Derivation also saw some mortals, most of them were the families of these warriors, and the sum of these people was also considerable.
Nanxiao City is very large, Lin Zhen and they went around for half an hour before they came to the door of the Governor's Mansion, unlike the heavily guarded Nanxiao City, in front of the solemn Governor's Mansion, there was no half of the guard.
In the words of the deacon, there was no need to guard, because Tao Yunshen's majesty no one dared to violate it in this Nanxiao City!
However, although there were no guards, Lin Derivation could still feel that the scrutinizing eyes locked him as soon as he entered the Governor's Mansion, and he was obviously the powerhouse of the Governor's Mansion.
Lin Sheng's expression was calm, anyway, he didn't come to stir up trouble.
Entering the Governor's Palace, Tao Yunshen was already waiting for him in the hall, and there was Tao Ranxuan by his side.
Compared with the casual outfit on the day of the election, Tao Yunshen at this time was wearing a shiny golden armor with a long sword at his waist, and Shen Xiong's momentum combined with the coldness of Tianxiao City burst out, and Lin Zheng felt breathless.
"Hehe, little brother Lin, I haven't seen you in March, and you have already stepped into the blood quenching, which is really amazing."
Tao Yunshen was obviously waiting for him, after all, not mentioning Qingyu's background, Lin Yuan's own talent was also worthy of his attention.
"Lord Governor has praised it falsely, didn't Brother Ran Xuan also break through the blood quenching?" Lin Cheng bowed and glanced at Tao Ranxuan on the side, no accident, Tao Ranxuan at this time had also successfully quenched his blood, and he wanted to come to Tao Yunshen for a few months.
"Hehe, it took a lot of thought...... Let's talk. ”
After a few simple greetings, Tao Yunshen left with a smile, leaving Tao Ranxuan and Lin Yuan alone, obviously to let the two of them have a good exchange.
Tao Yunshen stepped out of the door with his front feet, and with his back feet, the atmosphere in the room began to condense a little.
"Uh...... Brother Tao successfully quenched his blood...... Well...... Congratulations! ”
The two pairs of small eyes looked at each other for a long time, and Lin Cheng really couldn't stand this embarrassing atmosphere, and said without words.
Tao Ranxuan didn't speak, just sneered twice.
The atmosphere was even more awkward.
Buddhist nun. Ahh
Lin Yuanzhi roared in his heart, what did Tao Yunshen think, leave the two of them together, are you sure you won't fight?
"Congratulations? Didn't you break through too? What, here comes the show-off? ”
But fortunately, Tao Ranxuan didn't seem to have much resentment about him beating him at that time, and just snorted coldly.
"Uh......"
"Hey, don't be afraid, although my son is more straightforward on weekdays, he is not a bully, you don't have to be afraid!" Seeing that Lin Derivation didn't speak, Tao Ranxuan probably felt that Lin Derivation was frightened by the momentum of the Governor's Mansion, jumped up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said.
"But you're a good kid, you even broke through the blood quenching, what my father said is really good, you still have a little talent, you have entered the martial arts, we can be together, oh this way......"
Tao Ranxuan touched his chin and seemed to have made a major decision: "Well, you can mess with me in the future!" I'll cover you! ”
Saying that, he also gave Lin Derivation a look of "I am lucky to see you as a kid".
Lin Zhen smiled.
Why do I need you to cover it? Do you feel so good about yourself?
"Haha, you don't have to be too grateful to me...... Hey, why don't you speak...... Oh yes, if we don't fight again, this son is now quenched and his swordsmanship has reached a higher level, and he will definitely not lose to you. Tao Ranxuan's thinking jumped really very human, and as he spoke, he remembered such a thing, and of course, he didn't forget to shake his "big brother style", adding:
"Don't worry, I'll show mercy."
“…… Belch...... Waited for the Wufu ...... Let's talk about it......"
Although I really want to beat this fart kid now, this is in the Governor's Mansion after all, where is there any such thing as beating a child in front of someone else's father? So Lin had to make two perfunctory sentences.
"Oh? I entered the martial arts mansion and fought again...... You're going to challenge me!? Tao Ranxuan's brain circuit is really strange.
"Huh!?"
Lin was momentarily stunned, don't you buddy understand the words? Didn't I just say it casually?
"Huh, what? Don't you just want to ask me for war? Tao Ranxuan was eager to try.
God wants to make a date! You're full, aren't you?
Lin Derivation only felt that this Tao Ranxuan was worthy of being the son of the governor, and his comprehension ability was all at the level of a male master, and he easily understood something that he had never thought of......
As a result, Lin Cheng didn't dare to say anything.
That night, Governor Tao arranged for Lin Derivation and Tao Ranxuan to rest together.
Perhaps because he felt that he had met an opponent, Tao Ranxuan opened the conversation box next to him, and Lin Derivation could only nod his head next to him.
I didn't expect him to have such a skill as nagging Lin Cheng said in his heart.
However, this should also be for people of the same level as him, in the Purple Maple City election, Tao Ranxuan is a cold horse.
However, although Tao Ranxuan did nag a little, Lin Derivation also felt that this buddy really didn't seem to hate him for beating him at that time, but had a lot of ...... with him What does it mean to be sympathetic?
"It seems that he is also a cool person...... Lin Zhi couldn't help but say to himself.
In general, after such a night of getting along, the relationship between Tao Ranxuan and Lin Derivation has become much closer, and the unhappiness in the general election has long been thrown out of the clouds.
