The inn is not big, with only three floors.

Ji Xinghuo walked to the balcony outside the room, and he could see the street dozens of meters away, with people coming and going, bustling.

In the distance, only a small part of the city of Olympia can be seen.

The city was the center of the Earth in the astral plane, and was initially managed by the "Astral Defense Council (ADC)", but in the following decades, the ADC gradually lost its position, and the global geopolitical pattern re-emerged into a multipolar world.

The sovereignty of the city of Olympia is a reflection of the political ecology of the planet.

Since decades ago, the city of Olympia has been roughly divided into four districts, each controlled by the four great powers of the planet.

As the two superpowers, APAC and the Federation of the Americas naturally have the largest sphere of influence.

One controls the Dongxia District, and the other controls the Nanxing District.

The remaining two powers are the New Roman Empire and the Western Democratic Union.

The rest of the nations will have to rely on the snort of the four great powers to have a place in Olympia.

Ji Xinghuo is located in Dongxia District, which occupies a quarter of the city, more than 70% belongs to the Asia-Pacific Community, and the remaining 30% is divided between the allies or economic partners of the Asia-Pacific Community.

There are more than 5 million people in Dongxia District alone!

The entire city of Olympia had a permanent population of more than 20 million, which is unimaginably large in ancient times.

The only way for a city without technology and modern architecture to accommodate such a large population is to expand its urban areas.

Thus, the city of Olympia was more than fifty kilometers long and wide.

The buildings in the city are so continuous that there is no end in sight, but no matter which direction you look, you can see a tall wall.

In addition to Olympia, other cities have been built far from the Stargate.

For example, the Asia-Pacific Community's "Yanhuang City" is located more than 400 kilometers east of Olympia; The "New Philadelphia" of the American Federation is to the south.

In total, more than 20 cities have opened up more than one million square kilometers of territory for all mankind.

However, the most important thing is Olympia.

Only here can you travel back and forth between the astral boundary and the earth, the largest population, the concentration of resources, the garrison of millions of troops from various countries, and the surrounding danger factors are cleaned up, so it is also the safest.

Ji Xingyan planned to stay in Olympia for a while.

There are more than 20 million people in Olympia, so be careful yourself, and although it is not a needle in a haystack for the Sword Bureau to find yourself, it is also very difficult.

As soon as you notice that trouble is coming to you, you immediately change places.

After watching from the balcony for a while, Ji Xinghuo returned to the room.

When he opened the Vientiane Star Pupil interface, the three arrows were still there, and his body was facing the largest arrow, and he immediately sensed the guidance from afar.

"What the hell is it?"

Ji Xinghuo was looking forward to it, but he didn't go on impulse.

He remained still, concentrating on the direction of the arrow, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get any more information, only that clear connection.

"Huh?"

Ji Xinghuo suddenly frowned, "Will it move?" ”

He sensed it for another ten minutes, and finally confirmed that the direction of the arrow was moving. Although the amplitude of the movement is small, you can confirm that it really moved!

Ji Xinghuo's heart sank, this is definitely bad news!

There are two possibilities.

One is that the thing itself can move, and the probability is very small, and the Vientiane Star Pupil has no ability to move.

The second is that it is carried by other creatures.

"Could it be that some astral creature ate it?" Ji Xinghuo guessed in his heart, "Or was it obtained by someone else?" ”

If it's the latter......

Ji Xinghuo was startled, he could sense the other party, so could the other party sense himself?

In case the other party is a terrifying Astral powerhouse, kill him directly and hide here, wouldn't it bring disaster to Olympia City, and even the earth will be implicated!

Ji Xinghuo suddenly fidgeted.

But he didn't act rashly, and stayed in the room, always focusing on sensing the change in the direction of the arrow.

Time passes slowly.

The speed of time in the astral boundary is the same as that of the Earth, except that the astral boundary has 49.6 Earth hours in a day, and there is more than day and night.

Between day and night, there is also a "starry night", where the day is divided into three phases.

A few hours later, the heavenly "golden glow" set over the western horizon, and the setting sun gave Olympia a golden glow.

When the last rays of sunlight faded, a "moon" rose on the eastern horizon.

Ji Xinghuo observes this wonder from the balcony.

A round of "moon" slowly rose into the sky, it was half larger than Jin Hui, but the brightness was not as good as Jin Hui, the silver white light mixed with brilliant blue, sprinkled down, the whole world was shrouded in a dreamlike moonlight, like a dream.

At the same time, stars lit up in the distant sky.

There are billions of stars, which are too numerous to count, and they form a galaxy that covers the entire sky, most of them extremely faint, but a few very bright.

Everyone is very familiar with this galaxy.

"Reflection of the Milky Way!"

Ji Xinghuo let out a sigh of admiration.

Unlike viewing the Milky Way from Earth, you can see the whole Milky Way in the astral plane, with no hidden zones and no dust blocking it.

It's like looking down at an entire galaxy from the front of the Milky Way tens of thousands of light-years away.

This phenomenon is completely inexplicable in astronomy.

There are many more things that cannot be understood in the astral plane.

For example, the "moon" is not actually the moon, it is also a star, which astronomers identify as a blue and white giant, which is called "silver obsidian" according to the name of the aborigines of the astral plane.

The volume of Yinyao is more than 1,000 times that of Jin Hui, but the distance is extremely far, so the brightness is not as good as Jin Hui, and it seems that the volume is only half larger.

In addition to Yinyao, there are four other "moons" in the sky.

The one that emits the scarlet blood glow is the "Red Flame Star";

The one that exudes a faint blue glow is the "blue glow star";

Like a spherical jadeite is "Cui Weixing";

Finally, there is the "Purple Pole Star" shrouded in a demonic purple light.

Astronomers also don't know whether they are stars or planets, they are about the same size, they are located in different directions, and each has the speed of its trajectory.

Sometimes the four stars can be seen during the day, and sometimes they disappear in the starry night.

But at night, you can't see them most of the time.

Based on the summary of the observed phenomena, astronomers have come to a shocking conclusion: whether it is Jinhui or Yinyao, including the four-colored star, all revolve around the astral boundary.

This is somewhat similar to the "geocentric theory" of centuries ago, but there are many differences in details.

However, whether the astral realm itself is a planet or not is inconclusive.

I don't know how many astronomers are struggling with this.

The length of the starry night is not fixed and changes from day to day.

According to the cycle of starry night duration, the astral boundary is divided into two seasons in a year, a hot season and a cold season. Each season has 328 days and is divided into nine months, each with a separate name, with most months having 36 days and a few months having an extra day.

The "day" here is the length of the astral boundary, which is 49.6 earth hours.

It is now the "warm moon" of the hot season, the fourth month of the year.

The starry night lasted 11 earth hours.

Ji Xinghuo has not left the hotel room, nor has he slept, sensing the direction of the arrow every half a minute.

As the silver dawn fell, the sky was completely darkened, and the Milky Way reflection and the four-colored star disappeared.

That's when the night really went in.

The duration of starry night and night is fixed, exactly as long as day, equivalent to 24.8 earth hours.

A cycle of day, starry night, and night is a complete day in the astral plane.

But tomorrow, the duration of the starry night will increase by 272 seconds.

During the hot season, the starry night lengthens by 272 seconds each day until the last day of the "full moon", when the starry night is 24.8 earth hours, as long as the day, and the length of the night is reduced to zero.

This day is the midpoint of the astral year, and it is also the hottest time.

The next day enters the cold season.

During the cold season, day is followed by night, and then starry night.

On the first day of the cold season, the night was only 272 seconds, and after that, the night became longer and longer, and the temperature began to drop until the last day of the "cold moon", when the night was the longest and the starry night length was shortened to zero.

In this way, two seasons are completed in eighteen months, and one astral year ends in 656 days.

One year of the astral boundary is equal to 3.7 years of the earth!

Even at night, Olympia is brightly lit, and although there are no electric or oil lamps, there are many means of illumination in the astral plane.

The most widely used crystal lamp in Olympia City is a crystal lamp, and the main material is "luminous crystal".

It absorbs sunlight during the day and emits light at night. Although the brightness is not high, as long as the number is enough, the lighting effect can be achieved.

There are also several fluorescent plants that are planted to illuminate the streets and homes.

From the balcony of the hotel, the city of Olympia is like a starry spot, and the city is like an island in a vast dark ocean.

Ji Xinghuo looked out of the city and had an illusion.

There seemed to be a great terror hidden in that unseen darkness.

In fact, the night in the astral plane is the most dangerous, and most of the hunting parties and Inhumans who go out on adventures, the night is the biggest enemy they face.

Ji Xinghuo didn't sleep all night.

More than a dozen hours later, Jin Hui rose again, illuminating the earth.

It was his first day in the astral plane, and he spent the whole time in his hotel room, not even stepping out of the door to eat.

While concentrating on cultivation, he paid attention to the changes in the arrows.

Day 2, Day 3......

Ji Xinghuo stayed in the hotel for three days, then changed to a hotel in the city farther away and stayed until the seventh day.

He has become accustomed to the environment and climate of the astral plane.

The most important thing is that Ji Xinghuo finally confirmed one thing through these seven days.

The arrow points to something, the law of movement is synchronized with the day, starry night, and night of the astral plane, and the daytime moves most frequently, and the starry night is also moving, and at night it is completely still.

This means that the other party is indeed a "person", an intelligent race!

However, the opponent's area of activity is limited to a certain range, and there is no sign of approaching him.

Ji Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Only I can sense it, but the other person can't sense me."

Although he didn't dare to be 100% sure, he was more than 90% sure. Otherwise, he will have to return to Earth immediately, and this astral plane will not dare to stay for a long time.

When it comes to their own safety, or even the safety of Olympia City, they can't be too cautious.

Day 8.

When entering the starry night, Ji Xinghuo walked out of the hotel with a backpack full of cash on his back.
