Chapter 53: Into the Borderless City
Seeing Cao Chuan and Yu Shengnan walking away, it was like two pieces of glowing gold slipping out of their hands.
Unexpectedly, it was the crocodile gang that the third master of his family personally let people go, and it was really difficult for everyone to accept it, and someone immediately stepped forward to ask Li Eryang why he let go of the two sheep that were so fat.
They saw Li Eryang's eyes popping out just now, and it was absolutely false to say that they were not impressed.
But who knew that Li Eryang actually turned around directly and slapped the person who questioned him.
The strength was very strong, and the person who questioned Li Eryang was directly slapped to the ground, and half of his face immediately swelled.
At this time, everyone saw that the faces of their three masters were extremely ugly, and their slightly squinted eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.
The crowd was afraid of repeating the same mistakes, so they didn't dare to ask again.
On the contrary, Li Eryang himself explained: "You stunned people who only know how to dance knives and guns, do you know what the origin of that guy was just now?" Don't just think about going up and robbing anyone when you meet someone, if you cause trouble to our crocodile gang that you can't afford to provoke, you won't need me to do it at that time, and the big boss will just cut off all your heads! ”
"Ahh The third master, that guy looks like a rich boy, why is it so serious? Some people are puzzled and want to know what their three masters saw just now.
This time, the cautious questioner was not slapped again.
Li Eryang sighed and continued: "I really didn't expect that I finally encountered such a little monster when I came out on a trip, not only the four-grade alchemist token certified by the Alchemist Association, but also the token of the disciple of the inner courtyard of the Heavenly Spirit Academy... Alas! It's really bad luck! ”
Although the Crocodile Gang is still a somewhat famous gang in the territory of the Southern Emperor Domain, it can only be regarded as an ant struggling to survive in the cracks when it encounters sects like Tianhe Holy Land, Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and Mochizuki Sect, or behemoths like the Nanli Dynasty.
However, these sect dynasties can only be regarded as small ones in front of the Alchemist Association, which is all over the world, and there are countless alchemists, and the Tianling Academy, which is backed by the great power of Zhongzhou.
In addition, he Li Eryang is only the third leader of the gang, and his eldest brother can only kneel and salute, how dare he provoke him.
"Fortunately, that guy just now has a good temper, just let us go, otherwise even if we can go back today, we will be stripped off by the eldest brother..." Li Eryang couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, the younger brothers behind him also suddenly realized, and they didn't dare to mention the plan to rob Cao Chuan and Yu Shengnan again, but someone suggested whether to go back quickly and come out after a while.
The proposal was instantly approved by Li Eryang, and a group of people who had just run out of the Crocodile Gang ran back in disgrace.
Cao Chuan and Yu Shengnan, who had already been able to see the Borderless City, naturally didn't know what Li Eryang and his younger brothers had done, but they were just curious and kept observing the huge town in front of them that looked like it was almost going straight into the clouds.
The towering walls were already taller than some four- or five-story buildings, and the open gates below could even allow monsters to pass through at will.
The various buildings in the castle are also very tall, and the most striking of them is the "Tower of Babel", which is said to be 999 stories tall in the center of the castle, and the lord of the entire unowned city lives on the top floor of the tower.
The Tower of Babel is surrounded by eight pavilions and pavilions, each of which houses the eight elders and deacons of the Borderless City.
Walking into the city with curiosity, looking at the unexpectedly deserted streets, Cao Chuan took Yu Shengnan to find an inn that looked a little lively.
After taking a seat at the inn, he took out the spirit stone in the old way and asked the innkeepers if they had any news about the Borderless City.
After asking around, Cao Chuan and Yu Shengnan learned that the reason why the city was so desolate was actually because most of the monks in the city had gone to the depths of the desert to hunt demon beasts and evil monks a few days ago, and according to the custom of previous years, they would not return to the city until one day.
Hearing the guy's explanation, the two became more interested, so they took out some spirit stones and asked the guy to explain in detail.
It just so happened that most of the people in the city had already gone out, and there were indeed few people in the inn, but the idle guy sat on the chair, shaking his head like an old storyteller and Cao Chuan, Yu Shengnan talked about the customs of this ownerless city.
"The Borderless City was originally just a remote town with no name, and because it is located in the desert, it has always been unattended, and most of the people who live here are old people who are reluctant to leave their hometown."
"However, no one expected that a group of demonic beasts would suddenly appear in the depths of the desert and rush towards the Borderless City."
Pouring himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat, the man continued: "It's a pity that the ownerless city has never belonged to any force, even the Nanli Dynasty has stated that the ownerless city has nothing to do with it, but in order to prevent the demon beasts from breaking into various realms, in the end, the Nanli Dynasty still sent a general and gathered monks from all walks of life to go to the ownerless city to defend against the demon beasts. ”
"But the demon beasts that emerged from the depths of the desert were too many and too strong, so that although the demon beasts left with interest, the generals sent by the Nanli Dynasty and most of the monks who were called died in the process of fighting the demon beasts."
"But it is precisely because of this heroic sacrifice that more and more people with lofty ideals have entered the Borderless City, and the originally desolate town has become more and more lively and prosperous, and then it has gradually become what you see as a guest."
"Then I heard that the Borderless City is now in charge of the city lord and the eight elder deacons, I don't know man, do you know what the city lord and the eight elder deacons are?" Cao Chuan continued to ask.
"Guest, that's a good question for you."
The man then replied: "Because more and more people came to the Borderless City, and the town became more and more prosperous, so there began to be a lot of troubles, but at that time, everyone was just scattered, and they wanted to solve some troubles by force, so that the Borderless City soon became a city of death full of blood and killing." ”
"Later, some people really couldn't stand this situation, so they proposed that one of all the monks with the highest cultivation level and eight people with the second cultivation level should be selected to be the city lord and elder deacon, and then they would set up the rules of the borderless city, and everyone who entered the borderless city should abide by the rules, and if anyone was found to have violated the rules, they would be expelled."
"Of course, only sane and moral people can sit in those positions."
"Fortunately, the people who were selected later were really good, which made the current borderless city seem harmonious everywhere."
As he spoke, a bit of admiration appeared on the man's face, and his admiration for the lord of the borderless city was already overflowing.
