Back at the entrance of the village, Zhou Xinyi asked Jiang Yi, "Where have the other inheritors gone?" ”

"Probably going to the city," Jiang Yi said, "After all, the mayor of the town has lent you all the warriors of the Clan, and the women and children have been hidden, and the heir has nothing to find in a poor empty town, so they all left first." ”

"Speaking of which...... I'm surprised that you, the culprit who bombed the town, weren't asked. ”

"The Gang has just been robbed, and Ge has been seriously injured, and they have no strength left to hunt me down," Brandy laughed, "plus I'm an official, even if they are unwilling, they can only break their teeth and swallow in their stomachs." ”

"When you say that, it reminds me," Zhou Xinyi touched his chin, "I'll ask you to move around more when you get to the city, Official." ”

Zhou Xinyi and Brandy Jiang Yi came to the opposite shore in a small boat of the Yi tribe, and after going ashore, they walked another two kilometers to reach the city where the Yi people had left.

Stepping on the wet ground, Zhou Xinyi asked with a sense of awareness, "Why can't the inheritor be infected by the epidemic on the strange fish?" ”

Although there is no risk of contagion of the epidemic on the people, the most fundamental source of the epidemic comes from the strange fish at the bottom of the lake, and they have also had "close" contact with the strange fish, but they are always safe and sound?

"Because we didn't travel through time, we were just in the midst of a natural disaster."

Brandy said, "There is a limit to the extent to which the light curtain can be reproduced, Mr. Zhou, you can imagine that if the heirs will also be infected by the epidemic, then which inheritors can still explore, and what kind of destruction will be suffered by human civilization today?" ”

"In other words, the purpose of the light curtain is to revive the ancestors through this era, not to destroy human civilization." Zhou Xinyi said,

Bai Lan nodded, "That's exactly what the 'Light Curtain' thinks. ”

But whether the ancestors who woke up from the grave were willing to watch human civilization flourish is uncertain.

"But on the basis of not causing cracks in human civilization, it is uncertain whether there will be other epidemics," Jiang Yi held his cheeks, "I only know that when the time comes, it will be the time for pharmacists to show their skills." ”

Two kilometers was not far for the Inheritor, and it didn't take long for Zhou Xinyi to faintly see the edge of a city.

He carefully looked at the map handed to him by the Yi people, "That's right, a city called Jizhou. ”

Jizhou City is located on the edge of a large river, surrounded by two rings of towering tall trees and surrounded by yellow sand.

From a distance, Jizhou City is a very beautiful city, it looks similar to the architecture of the ancient West, but there are several towers that are significantly higher than the average of the city between the jagged buildings, and those towers are particularly conspicuous, but they are not visible.

Because the process of "crossing the lake" was omitted, Zhou Xinyi and the others were decent when they arrived at the edge of Jizhou City.

There are more than a dozen entrances in different directions on the border of Jizhou City, and each entrance is guarded by a team of people, perhaps because they have seen too many poor scum, those gatekeepers look arrogant, and they will never put people in it.

In addition to them, there were also some people who wanted to enter the city through the entrance, and those who were apparently natives in the light curtain, dressed in shabby clothes stained with loess, would find that they spoke with strange accents, and were covered in the stench of sand and blood.

"Speaking of which, there is no conflict between the languages of the heirs and the aborigines."

"Of course, otherwise the heir will not be able to move an inch."

They watched as several of the aborigines were violently driven away by the gatekeepers, and some of them even tried to stuff their belongings into the gatekeepers' hands, but no matter what method was used, the gatekeepers remained resolute and refused to enter.

Jiang Yi sighed, "Do they really think of themselves as knights?" ”

These aborigines just want to enter a safer and more orderly city to seek a way to survive, but Jizhou City has not allowed wanderers to enter the city for a long time, and it really needs to be traced back to the result of the epidemic caused by the Yi tribe in the first place.

"Don't worry, we don't have that bothering us."

After the gatekeeper brutally rejected all the wanderers, Brandy stepped forward and handed over a government paperwork.

After the gatekeeper confirmed, he immediately respectfully lowered the men into the city.

"Actually, the judge also has the right to move freely from city to city," said Brandy, "but you don't have the judge's seal, and even if they could see that you are a judge, they can't let you into the city without proper procedure." ”

Zhou Xinyi knew why they could see at a glance that they were judges.

In this day and age, it is common for a judge to deliberately dress neatly and decorate himself with a bow tie with his judge's seal on it.

Rather than secretly observing and exploring the truth, most judges are more likely to deliberately reveal their identities and record the phenomena that are revealed on the surface, or even deliberately made visible to others.

It's like the chengguan deliberately appeared in a night market full of food vendors in chengguan uniforms, not to really catch the vendors, but to keep some kind of irregularity away in front of them.

It also creates an atmosphere of jurisdiction at the top.

This is also the reason why judges can maintain a high status without belonging to any political force, they rarely really touch the cake of other people's interests, but they know how to decorate themselves and make themselves look difficult to provoke.

This is probably a continuation of his profession, and although he does not have a seal of his own, and he does not wear seals on his body, almost every aboriginal can recognize him by his temperament.

"What is the first thing we are going to do?" Zhou Xinyi felt that instead of his aimless search, he should first ask the opinions of the two experienced heirs.

"Under normal circumstances, a tactician like me would choose the surrounding mercenary organizations to find a mission," Jiang Yi said, "and then use the mission to reach the top and seek benefits." ”

Brandy, who was also a tactician, said, "My strategy is not quite the same as that of a normal tactician," he said, "and I'll take you directly to the upper echelons." ”

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons, and selfish people like brandy must have their own plans if they can seek convenience for them.

The problem is that the conditions given by brandy are too tempting.

There is a city lord in Jizhou City, who is over eighty years old, and he has reached the age when he needs to abdicate.

And there are a total of five candidates who can be on the throne.

Among them, two are his sons, Ji An and Ji Xun, and the other three are three highly respected officials in Ji Zhou City.

One was a Zengus official in charge of finance, architecture, diplomacy, etc., a middle-aged man of about fifty years old, who already had a family and was a steady and sleek person.

One is the military attache in charge of the city's defense and military, Mailer official, he just passed his thirty-second birthday this year, and made a marriage contract with the city lord's daughter, Miss Ji Lin, which was fulfilled two years later, and was regarded as the qualified son-in-law of the city lord.

The third is a woman, a McVall official, who is mainly in charge of clerical and occult work, and is in her early forties, with a quaint and stubborn personality.

These three people were not qualified to participate in the inheritance of the city lord, not even the son-in-law of the city lord, but the three of them had strong powers, restrained each other and were not equal, so until this year, the city lord could not find a suitable reason to suppress them.

Therefore, in order for his son to succeed in ascending to the throne, the lord of the castle must give all three of them equal rights to run for election, so as to stabilize the competition between them.

Otherwise, if they collude, their two uncompetitive sons will definitely be overthrown, and in the end, even an idle nobleman will not be able to deserve it.

"It's the Zengus officials who came to me to entrust me."

"Wait, I have a question," Zhou Xinyi said, "This kind of thing, how can they ask you for a small official to entrust?" ”

"You don't look like a military attaché, and more importantly, do you ask your peers for help in this kind of thing?"

"Some intelligent aborigines will guess that we don't belong to this collective." ”

"But their guesses will not exceed their own knowledge, they can't guess and they can't believe that their civilization has fallen, and we are people from tens of thousands of years later."

"They'll just guess...... There is a mysterious camp with no fixed purpose in this era, and the people of this camp, who claim to be the successors. ”

"Regarding this matter, I think Miss Jiang Yi should have a deep understanding."

Jiang Yi: "Shut up." ”

Considering that it might be Jiang Yi's black history, she didn't want to answer, so Zhou Xinyi didn't ask.

Instead, he remembered another, "Jiang Yi, how did you allow this guy to follow us." ”

Jiang Yi looked at him suspiciously, "Didn't you say that this guy is still useful, let him follow us?" ”

After saying this, both of them were silent for two seconds.

Then they looked at the big flicker beside them.

"In the cultural customs of Jizhou City, the taller the building, the more symbolic the status. ”

"But what's interesting is that there are a lot of earthquakes here, and it's not uncommon for high-rise buildings to collapse and die."

"But the local government often advertises the high-ranking officials who died in the earthquake as people chosen by the gods, well, they see the towering buildings as a way to the sky, and only those who live on high places can enter the gods' sight."

But modern experience shows that the significance of high-rise buildings is only to make better use of the land...... Zhou Xinyi secretly complained.

"So if you want to find a big man with high moral integrity, go to the tallest building."

Bai Lan led them to a high tower, and after showing them the official document representing their identity, someone immediately went up to the tower to pay respects.

In a few moments, they were respectfully invited up to the tower, and they were met with the Zengusian official as they wished.

The official of Zengus has this slightly white inch hair, and his demeanor is capable and elegant, giving people a gentle temperament.

But when Brandy showed the head of the "song", almost all the aborigines were frightened by the bloody and terrifying head and took a step back, except for Zengus, whose expression remained unchanged, meticulously confirming the identity of the head.
