Chapter 12: The Flame Heaven Empire and the Clue to the Clouds

In the end, they still failed to enter the city, according to the royal law of the Yantian Empire, non-nationals and outsiders who have not obtained a pass are not allowed to enter the city at night. There are more and more pedestrians on the official road, both natives and outsiders. However, I found that more than 80% of the people passing by in front of me were the dart master convoy. Some of them were goods, others were wealthy merchants or emissaries from other countries. Their journey was long, but not slow. We were also rushing in the direction of Wangcheng, but our group was constantly surpassed. Of course, don't mind. Anyway, it's not like anyone who walks fast can get into the city. Because we have already seen that the drawbridge over the moat has been pulled up.

Before it was completely dark, we found a post house not far from the royal city and stayed there. It's not far, but it's still about 20 kilometers away.

It's embarrassing that we don't have the money. In the Eternal Continent, the common currency of ordinary human society is called gold coins, but I am currently penniless. Almost made a joke.

When they saw that we had no money to live in the store, the store didn't give us a good look, and even the shopkeeper squinted at us. However, when I took out the psionic crystal, my face changed again in an instant, and the shopkeeper immediately drove Xiao Er away and accompanied Xiao to come over to receive him.

Just kidding, psionic crystals are hard currency in the monk's circle. In the hands of ordinary people, although they can't use it because they can't use it, they can sell it for money, and sell it to monks, people are very generous, and if they sell it to the state, they can not only get gold coins, but also save face. Not long ago, there was a problem with the Wood Stone True Fire Void Seal in the eastern suburbs of the Yan Heavenly Kingdom, and the void crack opened, in order to kill the Void Demon and seal the void, the Yan Heavenly Kingdom dispatched a lot of high-end combat power, and the consumption of spiritual energy crystals increased greatly.

At that time, a psionic crystal could sell for tens of thousands of gold coins. This psionic crystal, we can stay in the best room here for half a month, and three meals a day are included. If you want two upper rooms, you will be considered to live.

In the evening, I went to the lobby downstairs and asked for a pot of wine and something that looked like peanuts, and sat in the corner to inquire about some news.

I saw a large table in the middle of the hall, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and there was a sigh from time to time. But because it's a bit far away, I can't hear it very clearly. I beckoned to the shopkeeper: "Guy, come here." ”

When Xiao Er saw that it was me, he immediately ran over and nodded and said, "Guest officer, it's good if you call me Xiao Wang." ”

"What are they talking about?" I asked, pointing to the large table in the middle, which was full of people.

"Oh, that's Zeng Shusheng, our famous wanderer here. "Xiao Erdao.

"Huh, wanderer?"

"Uh, guest officer, you shouldn't be from another continent, aren't you? not from the Four Great Empires?" Xiao Er said in surprise.

"Well, I've been practicing in the Warcraft Forest all year round, and this time I came out to experience it. Tell me?" I said.

As soon as he heard that I was coming out of the Warcraft Forest, he immediately became more respectful, and those who could live there were all powerful monks. So he said: "In this way, then you can find Zeng Shusheng, he knows a lot, as a wanderer, he travels everywhere." Why don't I call him for you? But he charges a fee. Don't look at him there, the people around him listen for free, but if you want to inquire about some secrets, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money. ”

"Okay, you call him. I took out a piece of psionic crystal and gave it to Xiao Er: "You can do it yourself, and I will give you more money." Seeing the psionic crystal, Xiao Er's hands trembled with excitement. That's enough to cover a year's salary.

"Okay, wait a minute, I promise you that it will be done properly. With that, he ran over.

I saw him squeeze in and say a few words to Zeng Shusheng, and then Zeng Shusheng said that today is over. I'll tell you about it next time. And then they came to me. The others wanted to follow, but when they saw Hongyu's eyes full of murderous intent, they consciously walked away.

Zeng Shusheng walked up to me with a fan, then put away the fan and hugged me with both hands, and said, "This hermit, are you looking for me?"

I stood up and saluted back and forth, and said, "Mr. Zeng, I have admired the name for a long time, I often live in the mountains, and I came out to practice, and I want to know more about the outside world." It was rumored that Mr. knew everything, so he wanted to ask for advice. After saying that, he took out a psionic crystal and gave it to him. I know, don't look at these weak scholars, they don't take it seriously in the eyes of soldiers, but people's hearts can be high, if you don't follow people's wishes, people may not necessarily take care of you.

Sure enough, the results were remarkable. After seeing my performance, he tucked the fan into his sleeve, then straightened his clothes, gave a new salute, and bent over 90 degrees. After he finished, he said, "Don't dare to be, please take a seat." ”

"Please!" I gestured, but sat down first. "Xiao Er, put on a new pot of wine, and then serve a table of signature dishes. ”

In fact, it's not that I'm so polite to a scholar, but because, through the system, I can't even see his rank, this is a real hermit - Zeng Shusheng: ???。 Not to mention the rank, you can't even see the profession. Looking at him just now, he ignored the coercion of Hongyu. The red tree is a phoenix, and under normal circumstances, the suppression of the bloodline of the general race is obvious.

After Zeng Shusheng sat down, I asked Hongyu to pour wine for myself and him, made a "please" gesture, and then drank it all. He drank the wine from his glass and asked, "What do you want to know?"

I said, "I've just come out of the mountains and know almost nothing about the world. ”

"Let's start with the continental distribution. He said, "We are now in the Yantian Empire, one of the four great empires. The so-called four empires refer to the part of the Eastern Continent, the four empires of Yantian in the east, Cangyun in the west, Lingfeng in the south, and Pandi in the north. The entire Eternal Continent is actually very large. This area of the Eastern Continent is a human society. The other regions include the Hidden Clan in the southeast, the Elf Clan in the south, the Wing Clan in the southwest, the Blood Clan in the west, the Beast Clan in the northwest, and the Bright Clan in the center of the continent......"

"I've heard this from my tutor. Let's talk about the Yantian Empire first. I said.

"This has to start with Emperor Xuanyuan's subordinates a long time ago, the descendants of Xiangfeng. Its descendant, Feng Yu, has completely inherited the bloodline of the Feng Clan and is capable of fighting well. It didn't appear in the human area for a long time after the defeat of the gods and demons vs. demons, but in the year 590 of the eternal calendar, the Feiyu clan of the demon branch was born one day ago - the demon armor, the demon armor is bloodthirsty and warlike. At one time, eight or nine out of ten of the people were separated from their wives and their husbands and wives were killed, and they were not desolate.

Wind Feather was furious when he heard this, and he alone entered the Flying Feather Jungle, where the Flying Feather clan was located, and vowed to kill the Demon Armor. Originally, everyone thought that Feng Yu would never return this time, but unexpectedly, Feng Yu and the Demon Armor fought for three days and three nights, and finally took the head and returned triumphantly. The world was moved. There is such a hero, so why not be afraid of the demons. However, the Feiyu clan heard that the demon armor was defeated, and wanted to raise troops to attack the human race, Fengyu set up a banner to recruit, and the Quartet responded, and after three years of war, the Feiyu clan was finally defeated. Later, he fought again to prevent the demons, built a high wall, and built a city to resist the demons. In 594, in line with the will of the people, the founding of the country, called Yantian, officially named the city - Yantian. Because Feng Yu is a family of the Feng clan and believes in the Vermilion Bird, he takes the Vermilion Bird as the Rui Beast, and then Yancheng takes the Feng clan as the royal family, until now, and the city is this city. After Zeng Shusheng finished speaking, he pointed to the Yantian City in the distance outside the door.

"However, with the invasion of the Void Demon three thousand years ago, the continent is the cutting-edge combat power has lost eight or nine times out of ten, and now Yancheng is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, but there is still the guardian divine beast of the Feng Clan, the Vermilion Bird, guarding the Yantian King City. However, the four great divine beasts of the human race were all seriously injured in that battle, and they are all currently recuperating......"

After chatting with Zeng Shusheng for a long time, I felt that what he knew was much more detailed than what the elves recorded. And, what I care about most is that he talked about Regulus. In addition, through these messages, I was even more surprised by the strength of the World-Destroying Demon. At the same time, I also know how terrifying the combat power bonus of a good piece of equipment is. For example, the Great War 3,000 years ago. Only one person can destroy the world, and he can fight the seven kings of the continent led by Gang Lei Long alone, and he can fight to the point of the same with one enemy and eight enemies. The main reason is that he is wearing a god-killing suit and the god-killing sword in his hand. It is said that this outfit has surpassed the top outfit of the continent, so that although the extinction of the world not only reduced its own strength when it came, but even the attributes of a piece of equipment were forced to reduce by at least 70% by the power of the laws of the world, but even so, it is still not a top equipment that can compete. This also strengthened my determination to level up quickly and build a god costume for myself. Because the divine equipment needs to be at least level 60 to be carried, otherwise the body will not be able to withstand the divine power......

In addition, I also learned a clue from Zeng Shusheng that made me happy - the owner of the Tiangang Thunder Dragon is a woman, people don't know when she appeared in this world, and people all over the continent know that she is not from this world, and they are not sure whether she is from the divine realm. The reason why she is so famous is because of her strength and her armor, which she calls "Sunset". The first time the world knew about her was on the Ancient Battlefield, which is said to have been occupied by the army of the Sand Demon Clan, a branch of the Demon Race, and attacked the human area with all its might. At that time, there were countless human casualties, and the territory was being encroached on step by step. Because the entire ancient battlefield was blocked by the Demon Emperor of the Sand Demon Clan with a formation built by the Heaven Sealing Rock, the human race was unable to ask for help from the other six clans. And the other six clans were also attacked by various demon branches at the same time, almost in the same way...... Just when the four countries were facing total disintegration, a vision fell from heaven. A goddess whose face could not be seen clearly fell from the sky, and with only one move of ten thousand arrows, she swept through the entire ancient battlefield, almost destroying the demon emperor of the sand demon clan.

She then separated the Ancient Battlefield from the human area with a magic circle. Later, he helped the other six clans to resolve the crisis together. With her help, the most turbulent era in the Eternal Continent after the War of Gods and Demons finally came to an end. For all of David, only God could do it. She then walked around the continent, supposedly looking for something called a space-time wormhole. Soon after, the real body left this world, leaving behind a clone and her pet, the Tiangang Brontosaurus. Because she had said to the Seven Clans, her name was Yun. That's why the world calls her the god of clouds. After she left, the tribes made golden bodies for her. And the four countries of mankind also worked together to create a statue of 100 meters high in Fengyun Pass. In addition, ordinary people among the human race have also begun to believe in her. Basically, there are statues of her gods.

What makes me happy is not this story, but the statue that the shopkeeper pointed out to me. A woman is masked, but looking at the back, I feel particularly like a cloud. Coupled with the fact that she searched the world for space-time wormholes, this gave me more reason to believe that she had been to the Eternal Continent......

Because Zeng Shusheng said that in addition to the city lord of Fengyun Pass, the temple guardian of Yantian King City had also been fortunate enough to see the true face of the cloud god and received some guidance from her in archery. This makes me especially look forward to getting into town as soon as possible. Go to this Temple Keeper for more detailed information.

Finished eating the next day. I'm ready to take the red dragon and set off for the Burning Sky King City. When I was about to go out, I was surprised to see Zeng Shusheng sitting there drinking alone. Ask him why he doesn't "tell stories" to people today. He said, "How can they understand this, they really take it as a story." I'm not in the mood today. ”

I smiled and prepared to leave. Zeng Shusheng stopped me and asked me if I had an elven artifact on me. My face was full of doubts. He said it was a necklace. I suddenly remembered that Ling'er seemed to have thrown me a necklace before leaving. So he took it out and looked at it. But seeing Zeng Shusheng's hellish expression, he said to himself: "It's really in your hands, is this all doomed?"

Through the system, I saw the information of this necklace: Eternity: Necklace, no level, can increase the mental power of the wearer, and it increases with the strength of the wearer. It is said that it was a gift from the cloud god to the elves of the Eternal Continent, and later became the elves of the elves. Legend has it that if you collect the Heart Bracelet and the Heart Ring, you will be able to merge into an unknown object, which contains a secret about another world.

"You may not know it yet, but this is actually something that the cloud god gave to the elves. In addition, there are bracelets called Lingxi hearts and rings called heart seals. She once said that if one day someone on this continent could gather all three things and put them together, they would know a secret. Once, the heart was imprinted in the hands of humans, and the heart of the spirit rhino was in the hands of the Light Clan. In order to know this secret, there were many assassinations among the three clans, and in the end, it is said that one person collected all three things, but failed to complete the fusion. Later, he went crazy, laughing and crying, saying that the blood did not match. ”

I listened to Zeng Shusheng's words and remembered the three ornaments that used to be on the clouds on the earth. It took us two people three years of wages to ask an old gentleman to hand-build it, and the names of those three ornaments are these three.

At this time, my heart was no longer at peace. Grabbing Zeng Shusheng's hand, he said, "Do you know where the other two things are now?"

Zeng Shusheng just twitched lightly, and then withdrew his hand from my control before I knew it. Said: "These three things have caused many bloodsheds because of the secret about putting them together, except for eternity, because they are in the hands of the elves and the elves have been in the hidden circle, few people have entered. The other two things have changed hands many times, and the heart-to-heart is currently said to be in the Bright Clan, but the heart of the spirit rhino ......"

"Where's the Soul Heart?" I asked.

"The Heart of the Spirit Rhino was obtained by a man of the Hidden Tribes thousands of years ago, and then hunted down, and he jumped off the endless abyss of the Flying Sand Forbidden Land, which is called the Endless Abyss because no one has been able to go down and come up again. So, under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible to find. ”

Flying Sand Forbidden Land? This can't be the Flying Sand Wilderness in the game, after all, the four major human empires here all have the same name as in the game. Even if it's all a coincidence, then it should be another coincidence. And if this is really the case, then that endless abyss should lead to the Elder Dragon Realm. However, this can only be passed after the foundation period has been reached...... I thought to myself.

"Thank you, then, goodbye. "I gave a farewell to Zeng Shusheng.

"I don't know your name yet!" At this time, Zeng Shusheng changed his previous elegance and asked directly. Even honorific titles are useless. But I didn't mind.

With the red fire, I walked directly out of the door, and without looking back, I said, "Forget your feelings!"

"Oh, forgetfulness, what a forgetfulness, but if you are ruthless, why should you forget your feelings. After Zeng Shusheng finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp and left the post station. And hasn't been here since. Of course, that's all for later.
