The nobles and princes represented by this consul, the divine power represented by the temple, and the royal power formed a balance in this land, and jointly held the authority, although there was a struggle, but the surface was peaceful.

The world calls it the "republican period", but this is undoubtedly a fragile peace, and this fragile balance has a clear expression in the kings.

After more than three months of trekking, he finally returned to the royal capital, and the starting point of this journey was to set off alone from the Falling Rain City, with one person, one sword and one shield, and then embarked on the return journey.

This is also a tradition among the nobles of the Great Fallen Martial Arts.

Just as the ruling class of the Great Fall is divided into three parties, the nobles who seem to be one are actually divided, and the simplest way to divide them is from the Dragon Nobles, the Wenci Nobles, and the Wuxun Nobles.

This can be seen from the name of the dragon, its characteristics can be seen, this is the original army with the Great Meteor Taizu, it is from the dragon's work, a large part of which is the mine slave who was a slave in the mine with the Great Meteor Taizu Bian Shu.

In the end, Taizu succeeded, and these mine slaves also suffered a lot of damage, but the rest of the people, as well as the descendants of those who were injured and killed, were treated favorably by Taizu and given fiefs, constituting the original nobles, which were from the dragon group.

These original nobles had the greatest power, even after several generations of suppression and differentiation by the Great Fall King, they still have a lot of power, and even theoretically, they can organize their own armies, appoint officials, and collect taxes in their own fiefdoms.

However, in the past three hundred years, several foreign invasions have made many princes have to seek external help, and the royal family of the Son of Heaven, as the central coordination, undoubtedly has the opportunity to meddle in local affairs, coupled with the election of the ruling duke, it has also virtually condensed the power of the nobles, although it has increased their voice in the royal capital, but it has weakened a lot individually. A lot of power has been curtailed, which is not obvious from the dragon nobles, and in comparison, the Wuxun nobles have been the most affected.

This martial aristocracy, relative to the scholars, mainly relied on external and internal wars to make contributions, and then was entitled, hereditary replacement, and became a noble class.

This aristocracy. The independence of itself is not high, although there are also fiefs, but after many years of development, the dynasty has gradually improved the ruling structure, so they themselves are subject to many restrictions, coupled with the two leaders of the ruling dukes later, the power of many nobles is integrated together, which makes their already limited autonomy, and loses a lot.

But. After all, the Wuxun aristocracy itself was started by Wuxun, although many later generations also evolved into pure scholars, but after all, there are many traditions, and their descendants are more proud of the martial arts of their ancestors. I am always proud of it, and this son of the martial arts family, of course, must also follow the tradition.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, go out to practice. Then he crossed the vast land alone and went to or returned to the royal capital to join an army. It is the fate of Wu Xun's children.

It was in accordance with this tradition that he came to Falling Rain City for the trial, and now that the time limit had come, he left to return to the royal capital, but the road was not peaceful.

At this time, the remnant of the land has long been unrecognizable compared to before, even compared to the East Huabu Continent, in a certain way is not inferior, but the development of humanity is still at a relatively primitive level, not to mention anything else, the complex and changeable road alone is enough to give people a headache - there is no unified dynasty here, and no emperor can mobilize countless manpower and material resources to establish the Chidao, so it is by no means easy to go from one city to another.

Not to mention, along the way, I often encounter ferocious beasts and robbers of the strongman, even if it is a martial arts disciple like this, there is martial arts, but the two fists are difficult to defeat the four hands, and the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to defend.

In this process, Qiu Yan, who is attached to him, does not make a move, as if he is just a pure spectator, watching this fragment of life, and exploring and examining his people's aspirations and habits.

I have to say that this strategy does not lack martial courage and firm will, but also has quick wit, and more wisdom in the face of the enemy, coupled with a little luck - this strategy itself is a low-lying place of luck, which can gather some luck - all this, coupled with his own hard work and courage, still allowed him to break through many dangers.

But in addition to the rough road ahead and the dangers on the road, there is one more thing that bothers him - and that is to distinguish the direction.

Walking alone, in addition to the loneliness of walking alone, how to determine their own position, and ensure that the road ahead is correct, is also a big problem, although the plan has been prepared, but the first time to rush alone, it is inevitable to expose some problems, and there are several times lost.

At this time, the plan was not anxious and flustered because of the loss, but moved forward firmly, overcoming obstacles, and the pace of moving forward was still firm, until he found the traces of people, immediately asked, and then took out the map on his body, determined the direction, and then set out on the road again.

In this way, he planned to move forward in twists and turns, stop and go, and finally returned to the royal capital.

Of course, it is to come back for the plan, but for Qiu Yan, it is the first time he has set foot on this land.

As the center of the entire dynasty, the royal capital was much more prosperous than the city of Falling Rain, with many obvious stone houses in the city, and it looked magnificent, making people feel open-minded at first glance.

The pedestrians walking on this street are also dressed in different costumes, some of them can be clearly seen not to be from the source river basin, I don't know whether they are from the frontier, or the foreign tribes from the four sides, but they are all gathered in one city, although they can see the estrangement between each other, but on the surface they all live in the same city, forming a strange harmony, revealing an inclusive atmosphere.

"This city, although it is inferior to any city of the Darui Dynasty, whether it is in terms of scale or population, there is a big gap, but in terms of the will and bearing of the city, it is far exceeding, even inferior to Xingjing, and there is another rough taste. ”

Qiu Yan's inner demon body, the moment he planned to set foot in the royal city, slowly expanded, and converged along several low-lying places in the city.

Along the way, many people with the blood of the heart demon were captured by his perception, and a lot of information was transmitted, which was summarized, so that Qiu Yan instantly had a general understanding of the entire royal city, and continued to deepen.

But the next moment, Qiu Yanhu's heart moved, and he contracted with his thoughts, and returned to the body of the mock one.

"Sure enough, there is a problem, it seems that someone is scanning the city with divine thoughts just now, and noticed the fluctuations of my consciousness, but I don't know if the other party has a clear feeling, however, this method of using divine thoughts is by no means something that the locals of the land of relicaculation can perform, so it seems that there is indeed an external force behind this, and this royal city is not peaceful......"

At the same time as Qiu Yan sighed, he could clearly perceive that the luck in this city fluctuated rapidly, as if it was a trickle that was originally calm and flowing, smashed into it by a big stone, rippling layer by layer.

"The other party, sure enough, found me, but I don't know what means I will use......"

Qiu Yan felt a hostility from the rapidly fluctuating luck, obviously the other party could not let the luck be interfered with by others, this kind of contention involved many concepts, once it unfolded, it would not be calmed down.

..................

At the same time, in the center of the royal city, in the tall pyramid-like building, the Great Meteor King with a crown and a scepter on his head was looking down on the whole city—

The top of the building is not sealed, but is supported by nine and a half massive pillars, which are transparent in all directions, and a throne sits on a high platform in the center.

"You say the king's throne is threatened?"

The contemporary Great Meteor King has a pair of bright eyes, but what he reveals is indifference and indifference, as if he is sitting on the nine heavens, looking down on the gods of all living beings, and there is no expression on that handsome face, which looks like an ancient well.

He was very tall and muscular, and he sat on a huge throne, but he was taller than an ordinary person.

The king whispered, and there was no emotion in his words: "If there is nothing more dangerous than your temple that threatens the royal power, do you want to reveal the secrets of the temple to this king?"

His words passed out peacefully, into the ears of a man dressed in silk at the foot of the high platform.

The man looked to be about thirty, the silk draped over half of his body, held in place by a sparkling gem on his shoulder.

"My king," the man smiled indifferently when he heard this, "it is not the temple that threatens the royal power, but the two archons and the nobles behind them. ”

"Oh?" the Great Fallen King on the throne did not move, but shook his head, "The ruling princes may have the intention of fighting for power, but their foothold is the orthodoxy of my Great Fallen Royal Family, as long as the royal family does not lose their way, there is no reason to be abandoned by them." ”

"Of course they won't abandon the royal family," the man still smiled, "but they intend for the royal family to become gods in the temple, to be worshipped high, but they can't reach out and touch the mortal dust." ”

"Huh?" the king finally had a little fluctuation in his expression, "What do you mean by this? I know that the temple has vast magical powers, and my ears and eyes are everywhere, is there any news that this king does not know?"

"That's right," the man under the rank did not shy away from the hidden meaning in the words of the fallen king, "The ruling prince and the scholar clan have been encroaching on the royal power in the past hundred years, so they have today's gas phase, and the decrees and laws are all from the ruling cabinet, but after all, the name is not right, it is because they plan to make this ruling cabinet into substance, and formally establish an organization elected by the scholar clan, and exercise power in a righteous and bright manner, once the matter is completed, the king can know the benefits?"

"Do you want to correct your name?" the Great Fall King's indifferent eyes burst out with a little essence, "This appetite is really not small, but do you know if it is not a temple?"

The man at the bottom shook his head and said, "This matter has already been known, can the king still remember what he said at the banquet three days ago?" (to be continued......)
