Chapter 4 This is my son-in-law
Shengtian stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, reading books about the history of the mainland every day, listening to Chu Xiaoke tell what she knew, and the relationship between him and Chu Xiaoke became closer and closer.
Through the knowledge in the books, the Holy Heaven knew that this was the Five Flame Continent, and there were five powerful empires, namely the Bayan Empire, the Dragon Flame Empire, the Stygian Flame Empire, the Demon Flame Empire, and the Divine Flame Empire. Among them, the Bayan Empire monopolizes a small continent in the northern part of the continent - the Dark Continent. While the other four nations occupy the main continent. The Dark Flame is located in the Northwest Zaoze Domain, the Dragon Flame is located in the Northeast Wanshan Region, the Divine Flame is located in the Southwest Wuxiang Domain, and the Demon Flame is located in the Southeast Forest Sea Area.
The Dark Continent occupies a quarter of the Five Flame Continents, and is separated from the main continent by a strait that cuts through the entire continental plate, the Broken Gorge. It is said that the Gorge of Decision was split by the gods. Thousands of years ago, the demons broke into the Five Flames Continent and established a confrontation between the Demon Realm and the God Realm. The Bayan Empire is closer to the Demon Realm, and once the Wuyan Continent starts a war with the Demon Realm, the Bayan Empire will naturally bear the brunt. The overlord converted to the demon world in order to protect himself, which caused the gods to be furious, and they came to the Bayan Empire to kill the overlord. But the strength of the Demon Realm is not weaker than that of the Divine Realm, and the Demon Race is brave and good at fighting, and the number of strong people is still above the Divine Realm. The gods were blocked from the Bayan Empire, so they had no choice but to give up and work together to separate the Bayan Empire from the continent and regard it as an abandoned place, which was also known as the Dark Continent in later generations.
The Bayan Empire used the four ancient fierce beasts Emperor Jiang, Qiqi, gluttony, and Han Zhu as totems. The Dragon Flame Empire is the Ancestral Dragon, the Stygian Flame Empire is the Xuan Emperor, the Divine Flame Empire is the Phoenix, and the Demon Flame Empire is the Holy Tiger. The totem beasts of various countries have an agreement with them and have the responsibility to protect the country. It is said that only the four totemic beasts of the Bayan Empire are still alive, while the totems of the four empires are all dead. Only Qinglong, the subordinate of the Ancestral Dragon, is left in the Dragon Flame Empire, only the Vermilion Bird, the Divine Flame Empire, the Xuanwu under the Xuan Emperor, and the White Tiger under the Holy Tiger are left in the Demon Flame Empire.
In terms of national strength, the strength of the Bayan Empire is comparable to the combined efforts of the other four countries and three countries, so the four countries have always been common to the outside world. But there is still friction between the four countries in peacetime. Among them, the Dragon Flame Empire and the Shenyan Empire are the most violent, and there are wars almost every year. The Stygian Flame Empire and the Demon Flame Empire only had some minor friction with the Dragon Flame Empire and the Divine Flame Empire respectively, but they were not yet at the point where they needed to go to war. The reason for this situation is mainly related to the internal situation in each country. The Stygian Flame Empire and the Demon Flame Empire have always had internal strife, and the imperial power does not have absolute control over the empire, so there is no extra strength to compete with other countries for interests. The Longyan Empire is extremely united, all of them are united, there is no power struggle at the top of the empire, and the influence of the competition at the bottom is negligible, so there is basically no civil strife. The Shenyan Empire is the supremacy of imperial power, and the imperial power suppresses the princes of all parties and dare not have other thoughts at all, so there is no chaos at all.
And above the extreme eastern sea of the continent, there is an archipelago, which is exclusive to a special existence independent of the five empires-the Five Yan Academy. The Five Flame Academy is not under the jurisdiction of the Empire, and the youth of each Empire are allowed to go and study, and there is no distinction between countries. As long as it is a person who enters it to study, any previous identity will be useless, and the only identity is a student of Wuyan Academy. Whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, no matter what nationality it is, all are equal. The students who came out of there were all the top figures in the mainland. None of the five empires dared to offend the Five Yan Academy. Of course, since the Bayan Empire betrayed the human race, the Wuyan Academy no longer received people from the Bayan Empire.
Sheng Tian lay down on his chair and said to himself, "This is the Demon Flame Empire, and the Five Flame Academy is just above the Eastern Sea. There is no distinction between high and low in this Wuyan Academy, and it is also a place where young talents from all over the world gather, there must be a lot of beauties, but you can go there to play. β
"Holy God, my father has something to say to you. Chu Xiaoke gently pushed open the door and said.
"It's coming!"
Den.
Seeing that Shengtian was coming, Chu Su motioned for Shengtian to sit down, and said, "Someone will come to review it tomorrow, and the requirement is a twenty-year-old senior professional, you are only fifteen years old, and you are the same year as Xiao Ke, this request is no problem." But the censor must have something to do with Zhao Xian, so it will definitely be difficult for you, and you must be careful to deal with it. β
Sheng Tian smiled and said, "In terms of strength, how difficult can a high-level professional be? It's just a messenger, and it's good not to be beaten down by me. β
The corners of Chu Su's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a moment. Well, you're awesome!
Next.
A group of cavalry entered Arashi Castle with an emissary in their arms. The cavalrymen sat on handsome iron horses, their postures were erect, their heads were held high, and their bodies exuded a solemn aura. This is the iron cavalry of the empire, representing the strongest armament force of the empire, and no soldier is at least a master realm! Zhao De saw that he was protected in the innermost, his expression was indifferent, and there was a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth. Chu Su connected it to the city lord's mansion at the gate of the city, and set up a reception banquet to entertain the envoys.
Zhao Dejian supported his head with one hand, drank all the wine in the cup, and said impatiently: "City Lord Chu, I'm still in a hurry, so call your young people from Lancheng to come and show me now, and I hope that Lancheng can meet the requirements this time." β
Chu Su suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will send someone to call immediately." β
Not long after, four young people, including Shengtian, Chu Xiaoke, and He Yingjie, came to the banquet hall. Zhao De didn't bother to see the four of Shengtian when he saw it, he just drank. "What level are these juniors?"
The corners of Chu Su's mouth floated, and he said, "Except for this blonde boy who is a high-level magician, the other four are all intermediate professions. β
"Poof!" Zhao De saw that the wine that had just entered his mouth squirted out, and exclaimed strangely: "Senior? Isn't there a mistake? This kid is only fifteen or sixteen years old! Can such a genius come out of such a remote place?"
Chu Su frowned and said, "It's true. β
"This ......" Zhao De was a little embarrassed when he saw this, Zhao Xian gave a death order to change the city lord of Lancheng, the previous requirements for Lancheng were all twenty-five-year-old senior professionals, and this time the difficulty was deliberately increased to ensure that Chu Su was replaced. If he can't defeat Chu Su like this, then he will have to die when he goes back.
At this time, He Yingjie suddenly stood up, pointed at the Holy Heaven and wondered, "City Lord, this is not from our Lancheng, right?"
Zhao De was overjoyed when he heard this, slammed the table and stood up, stared at Chu Su and shouted angrily: "What? It's not from Lancheng? Chu Su, what's going on! Are you trying to cheat? Do you know the consequences!"
Chu Su glanced at He Yingjie and said with a calm expression: "It is true that Shengtian did not grow up in Lancheng, but he is my son-in-law!
Zhao De was dumbfounded, and smiled contemptuously: "Hehe, the city lord of Chu is really hard enough." It's fine, but I'll have to see if your son-in-law from nowhere really has the level of a high-level magician!"
On the martial arts training field, Zhao Dejian looked at Shengtian with a smile and said: "Little guy, the envoy is a martial arts master, you are a senior magician, the envoy will let you make three moves first, and then as long as you can catch the three moves of the envoy, you will pass the test, lest others say that the envoy will bully the small." β
Shengtian pretended to think and said, "Then, what if, I mean, if you fail to catch me in three moves, do you count me as winning?"
"Huh?" Zhao De was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha! You're making me laugh! Okay! As long as you can make me take half a step back within three moves, you win!"
Shengtian sighed twice in his heart and said, "I will do my best!"
Zhao De saw that his hands were behind his back, and he said lightly: "Make a move, within three moves, the envoy will only defend and not attack." β
Chu Su secretly laughed at the idiot, and Shengtian took out his staff, pretending to chant, and then the staff shot out dozens of golden rays of light and stabbed at Zhao Dejian.
Zhao De was secretly jealous when he saw the staff of Shengtian: Hmph! The staff is not bad, but it's a pity that the moves are flashy, this staff is really a waste in his hands! If I can have this staff, hum!
Zhao Dejian slowly stretched out his right hand, and casually condensed his fighting spirit into a barrier to block the "magic" of the Holy Heaven. But those dozens of ordinary-looking lights actually pierced the Dou Qi barrier directly and shot at Zhao Dejian, Zhao Dejian's eyes widened, and he hurriedly stepped back, and took out a defensive magic weapon to block in front of him. The golden light shot on the magic weapon, leaving dozens of small holes, but it was finally blocked, and Zhao Dejian was also relieved. When the golden light pierced the Dou Qi barrier, he found that these golden lights were extremely penetrating, and their power had reached the master level, and they would definitely leave dozens of blood holes on him. Made! What kind of move is this kid! This is so wicked!
What the Holy Heaven had just cast was not any magic, but the first form of the Holy Light Marksmanship in the Heavenly Divine TechniqueβThousand Mangs. A thousand rays can be stabbed continuously, or they can be stabbed in a charged state for a split second. The highest realm of Qianmang can stab nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine shots in an instant, and Shengtian can only stab more than thirty shots now.
"You Light!"
When Zhao Dejian was busy dealing with the gun, Shengtian used his footwork to instantly detour to Zhao Dejian's right and stood in a row opposite to him, and then took the staff and slapped it on the back of Zhao Dejian's head. The latter snorted and fainted.
"Heh! And let me make three moves? Don't take half a step back? It's ridiculous! It's really that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, it's the first time I've seen such a stupid thing, it's really a long insight!" Shengtian kicked Zhao Dejian on the ground, and there was a burst of mockery.
Chu Su secretly scolded that he deserved it, and then asked someone to carry Zhao Dejian to the guest room and put him there. He Yingjie swallowed his saliva and looked at Shengtian's eyes as if he was looking at a monster.
Big brother, you're a magician! How can you run so fast! And you have a magic wand in your hand! What's the matter with you being a sticker? Am I lagging behind?
At this time, the president of the Wizards' Guild suddenly visited.
"City Lord Chu, Han Mou suddenly came to visit at this time, don't be surprised if you are disturbed. Han Jiangdu bowed to Chu Su.
Chu Su also bowed his hand in return, and said: "President Han can come to Chu, it's too late for Chu to be happy, how can you bother, please." β
In the living room, Chu Su took the tea, pulled it out two or three times with the lid, took a sip gently, and asked: "I heard that President Han went to the headquarters of the association and never came back, and he came to Chu just after he came back, but what is the urgency?"
Han Jiangdu also took a sip of tea, his mood was also relaxed, and said, "Then Han will say it directly." Han rushed back this time because he heard Liu Yun say that a genius boy went to our association to test the magic level, and reached the peak of the advanced level at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and then lived in the city lord's mansion with Ling Qianjin. Can you see that young man below?"
Chu Su's eyes narrowed slightly. "Oh, that's what happened. Come, go and call the Holy Heaven to come. β
Not long after, Shengtian and Chu Xiaoke came to the living room. Shengtian dragged a stool and sat down, and said, "Father-in-law, you called me?"
Chu Xiaoke stood next to him with a red face, and pulled Shengtian, and the shy appearance made Shengtian eager to kiss it.
"Holy God......"
"Why are you standing? Come, sit next to me. Shengtian interrupted Chu Su and dragged another stool to Chu Xiaoke.
Chu Su's face darkened, and he scolded secretly: This Wang Ba boy! Usually you don't take me in your eyes, but now there are outsiders who dare to sweep my face!
But in his heart, he thought to himself, Han Jiangdu was not easy to have a seizure in Chusu, so he could only cough twice, and stretched out his hand to introduce Han Jiangdu to Shengtian: "This is President Han, the president of our Lancheng Magician Association, and I called you here this time because President Han wants to see you." β
Han Jiangdu looked at Shengtian, well, he is a talent, but how do he feel a little discordant with Chu Su?
"Oh, it turned out to be the son-in-law of the Chu City Lord's family, and Ling Qianjin is really a talented woman. Xiaoyou is called Shengtian, right, a talent like Xiaoyou will definitely have a bright future in the future, I wonder if Xiaoyou is willing to join my Magician Association? Han will introduce Xiaoyou to the headquarters of the association to study. β
"Huh?" Shengtian became interested and said, "What's the benefit of that?"
Han Jiangdu smiled and said, "At the headquarters of the association, Xiaoyou will get the best magic teaching, and it will be very convenient to find a job in the future, and you can be directly recommended by the association to important departments." β
After Shengtian looked at Han Jiangdu for a moment, he found that the latter was just laughing there, and said in surprise: "No?"
"Huh?" Han Jiangdu was stunned for a moment and said, "This ...... I wonder what more you want?"
Sheng Tian lay down on the chair and said, "Actually, I don't have much interest in becoming a magician, mainly because this magic robe looks very good, so I went to test the level and get a magician medal." I'm a martial artist. β
Chu Su slapped his head and felt that his face was lost. Chu Xiaoke couldn't help but laugh. Han Jiangdu opened his mouth, feeling that the whole person was stupid.
"Then, how can you test the magic level? Are you a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts?"
"Uh...... The exercise is more special, and you can hide from the test crystal. β
β......β
"City Lord Chu, disturb the farewell!" Han Jiangdu got up and saluted Chu Su, and then went out angrily.
"Poof!" Chu Xiaoke finally couldn't help laughing, pushed Shengtian, and said, "You are really, then President Han probably scolded you in his heart I don't know how many times!"
Chu Su shook his head tiredly and said, "How could Xiao Ke fall in love with you, an unobtrusive guy!"
"Father!"
