Chapter 564: The Founding Ceremony
Chapter 564: The Founding Ceremony of the City
The last time I said goodbye to Wang Cai and the Mo family brothers and sisters, dozens of days have passed.
In the past few days, Wang Cai has sent the first batch of members of the Underworld into the Neutral City, and the Underworld Branch of the Neutral City has begun to operate, and at the same time, Wang Cai has sent out invitations one after another, inviting representatives of the major forces to come to the founding ceremony.
On Wang Cai's invitation post, it is clearly written that the concept of the establishment of a neutral city is a trading city established on the premise of peaceful coexistence between the two tribes.
As soon as this invitation post spread, in the entire Ten Thousand Demon Continent, the forces that received the invitation post instantly boiled!
It's a neutral city!
At the same time as the shock in their hearts, many people also saw the value of the neutral city, hypothesis, just hypothesis!
Assuming that this neutral city is really established, then the trade between the demon clan and the human race can go to the surface, which is too great for countless merchants!
The demon clan and human beings have their own characteristics, and some rare and rare treasures may not be expensive in the demon clan, but in human society, the price has been speculated to the sky, and on the contrary, there is the same situation in the demon clan.
In the past, it was not that there was no trade between the demon race and the human race, but those were hidden under the table, and they were all shady transactions, undoubtedly, although such a transaction could get huge benefits, but the risks and costs associated with it were also not small, a misstep, I am afraid that the new blood of a lifetime will be gone.
But if these trades can be brought to the fore and trade between the two tribes is carried out openly...... As soon as they thought of this, countless forces had already seen the business opportunity, and their eyes flashed with purple gold coins, this was an opportunity to make a fortune! As long as anyone can gain a foothold in this neutral city first, the benefits are wonderful!
The news of the neutral city gradually began to flow out from the major forces, spreading ten, ten, hundred, hundred...... Soon, the entire Ten Thousand Demon Continent fell into a frenzy and began to frantically discuss the affairs of this neutral city.
A city that is unheard of on the Ten Thousand Demon Continent and truly completely neutral!
......
Today, the Windswept Prairie welcomed a large number of people.
That's right, today is the opening ceremony of the city, and it is also the opening day of the first people to enter the city, and in just a few hours, the neutral city has already poured into millions of people, or rathers, it can be said to be a demon tide.
The gates of the eight directions of the neutral city are all crowded with dense crowds, and people are pouring into the city all the time.
The neutral city is open to humans and demons, but only those who have wisdom and the ability to communicate and exchange can be called demons, otherwise if they only have the instinct of beasts, they cannot be called demons, but demons!
On this point, not to mention human beings, even the demon clan does not have any opinions, in the big cities of the land of ten thousand demons, the demons are also not allowed to enter, because the intelligence of the demons is too low, and it is easy to make the order of the city chaotic, so this is a habitual thing for the demon clan, in fact, the demon clan has never recognized the demon as a member of the demon clan, the demon is just a stupid beast, and they are advanced creatures with wisdom, they can be called the demon clan.
But of course, in such a city that has been embraced by humans and demons, there must be a lot of friction and disputes.
A tall demon clan youth shouted angrily, "Damn human! you just hit me?!"
"Who are you talking about? You don't walk long by yourself, and you dare to blame others for bumping into you!?" The middle-aged human man who was scolded also looked unhappy.
When the young man of the demon clan heard this, his face turned to the color of pig's liver, and at this moment he went on a rampage, knocked down countless bystanders, and raised his fist and roared, "Damn, you beg for death!!"
Seeing that the demon clan youth was about to hit someone, the middle-aged human man sneered, in his opinion, this demon clan youth is also the strength of the demon clan, but he is a spirit-level powerhouse!
Seeing that the demon clan who didn't know whether to live or die dared to attack him, the middle-aged man showed a mockery on his face, and his body posture was correct, and he was planning to let this demon clan who violated his majesty come to a dead street.
However, just as the distance between the two people was gradually approaching, the fist of the demon clan youth was less than half a meter away from the middle-aged man, at this time, suddenly a black shadow was inserted into the two of them, and he easily grabbed the fist of the demon clan youth with only one hand, and the other hand was pressed on the middle-aged man's shoulder.
If you take a closer look, you can notice that after the middle-aged man's shoulder was slapped by that big hand, the soul power that the middle-aged man had originally condensed in his palm was suddenly dispersed, and the condensed soul power was originally intended to be used by him to kill the demon clan youth in front of him.
At this moment, both the young man of the demon clan and the middle-aged man of the human race were shocked, because this black shadow that suddenly appeared was so fast that the two of them couldn't react at all, and they were stopped by others at this moment.
Oh my God...... This is at least a king-level powerhouse! With a roar in his heart, the middle-aged man's forehead was sweating.
This black shadow is one of the 100,000 members temporarily drawn from the underworld, because on the first day of the city's construction, the garrison did not have time to recruit, so Wang Cai asked the tiger to temporarily mobilize 100,000 people to maintain the order of the entire neutral city.
At this moment, the two people who were arguing were caught, and the City Watch said, "Those who disturb the order in the city are regarded as second-degree crimes, and the first offenders will be imprisoned for ten days. 」
"This, this...... Your Excellency, you have misunderstood, how can I disturb the order of the city, this is definitely a misunderstanding, my lord, do you think it is ......" The middle-aged man said, while holding a gold coin in his hand, quietly stuffed into the hands of the city guard.
"Trying to fornicate with law enforcement officers, the crime is added to the crime, plus your punishment, you must be locked up for at least thirty days now, don't make senseless resistance, come with me. The City Watch slapped the middle-aged man's palm away, and his tone was businesslike, leaving no room for negotiation.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man of the human race was stunned, and his whole face immediately fell, this trick he tried almost every hundred times in various cities, who knew that he would end up with such a fate today.
On the side, the demon youth wiped his cold sweat, and quietly took the gold coins in his hand back into his pocket, so that his movements were one step slower, otherwise he would be unlucky now, thinking about it, the demon clan youth was happy, he was locked up for seven days at most, but this idiot was locked up for more than thirty days, and the thought of it was refreshing.
In the end, under the strong strength of the other party, the two had no room for resistance, and were directly taken to the place where the prisoner was held.
This scene in front of me was constantly playing out in the entire neutral city, and it was rumored that more than 1,000 people were taken down on the first day of the opening of the neutral city.
Among these more than 1,000 people, the weak as the Demon Fusion Apprentice, the strong as the Emperor-level powerhouse, as small as the Panmo family, and as large as the first-class family, no matter who they were, all of them were ruthlessly locked in, regardless of their status at all.
Until decades later, this feat was still talked about by people in every household, after dinner.
With these lessons learned, the fiery atmosphere in Neutral City has calmed down a bit.
They saw with their own eyes that one by one strong people were ruthlessly escorted away, and even a royal powerhouse wanted to escape, but was beaten half-crippled by law enforcement officers, and in the end, they were obediently escorted away.
Seeing these examples, naturally no one will ask for trouble without opening their eyes, and at the same time, some people with smart brains have begun to secretly speculate about which powerful force is behind this neutral city, and even the people of the big family dare to catch it...... The point is that the other party has not resisted yet, and when he thinks of this, the forces behind this neutral city are inevitably a little terrifying.
Of course, these small episodes are naturally not managed by the night, and some people have already expected the occurrence of these situations, and have taken precautions, and all kinds of possible things have other people to worry about solving.
As for what Ye Ying needs to do, it is very simple, it is to go on stage, make a casual speech, go through the motions, and let everyone know that he is the city lord, and after that, there is no after, it's as simple as that.
"Ahem...... Thank you for going all the way to come to Neutral City to participate in the ceremony, I am the city lord Night Darkness......" Standing on the temporary high platform, Night Shadow slowly said the lines in his heart, this said, for more than an hour, the lines were so long that even Night Shadow himself felt troubled.
At this moment, Ye Ming has been speaking on the stage for a long time, and below the podium, that person is at the level of giants, the lowest level, and it has to be a peak family in a big city, such as the Ye family, that is the first family in Yingxue City, this is still the lowest qualification, if you don't reach this level, I'm sorry, you are not qualified to sit here.
Ye Ming spoke for most of the day, although these words were long, and everyone was bored when they heard it, but no one dared to leave their positions casually.
Who dares to leave?
Look at the people sitting in the front row? Luo Tian, the current king of ten thousand demons, Bai Yongkang, the current patriarch of the dragon clan, the patriarch of the four royal clans of the demon clan, and the emperors of the four great empires of mankind...... All of them were characters who could shake the Ten Thousand Demon Continent.
However, all the noble existences that are unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people are like children at this moment, sitting obediently in their positions one by one, even they dare not leave without permission, how dare the rest?
This kind of lineup is simply terrifying, and in the eyes of a group of family forces, Neutral City has already left a mysterious and powerful impression in their hearts.
In the end, after more than an hour, Ye Ming's words were finally finished, and as soon as the words were over, Ye Ming simply left directly, and even he couldn't stand the more than an hour of speech.
Seeing this, the rest of the people still didn't move around casually, but first waited until the giants sitting in the front row left one by one, and then they breathed a sigh of relief and stayed until the end before they dared to leave.
