"Is this place really what you call the permanent neutral place?"
Standing on the edge of the tiankeng, Xu Shenxing questioned suspiciously after staring into the distance for a moment.
"What must be said is that several surrounding towns and villages are under the management of Luomoxi and belong to a neutral place."
Not knowing why, Louise replied honestly.
"It's not that I'm suspicious."
Xu Shenxing looked at the city that seemed to have sunk into the ground, and asked suspiciously: "But this city doesn't look like it can stay out of the disputes between human countries."
Generally speaking, there are roughly two situations in areas that can be called neutral lands.
The first is because it is located in a desolate and remote place, and because it does not produce any special products that contain huge benefits—such as mineral spices—it is very inconvenient for transportation and transportation, and it has no value of conquest. Ignored by all countries, it has become a neutral place in the three-way zone.
This kind of place often has a considerable number of desperadoes and villains who have committed crimes in their own country so that they can't survive. It is not so much a neutral place as it is closer to a chaotic lawless place.
If this is the case, Xu Shenxing would not be surprised. Rather, the matter would be simpler and clearer: Those desperadoes can be easily suppressed by force. Will be as well-behaved as a loyal dog.
After becoming the uncrowned king there, many things will be much easier to do. The only troublesome situation is that the scumbags often do not try their best to complete the tasks they have assigned, and the efficiency of doing things is relatively low.
Coupled with the geographical constraints of the region itself, this inefficiency will be exacerbated.
To be clear, this so-called "neutral place" is a tasteless tasteless place to eat and discard.
Regardless of the geography or the street scene of this city named "Lomoxi" from a distance, it doesn't look like that kind of chaotic place.
Well, of course the traffic looks inconvenient but it is true...
In this way, it should belong to the second case.
The second situation has nothing to do with where it is located or the size of the territory. There is only one reason for it to be a neutral existence.
strength.
Only with strong strength—whether it is personal strength that has broken through the quantitative limit, or a military branch with strong combat effectiveness, after possessing strength beyond a certain limit, it can maintain its own independent will and become completely neutral. The presence.
This kind of neutrality is more valuable.
Regardless of whether it is a strong individual or a combat group with considerable deterrence, it can keep this independent force in existence for a long time, which can explain from the side that this regime has at least its own effective way of doing things.
Coupled with the cohesive force that is unique to most small countries, if they can be among them, or even occupy a high position, it should be of great help to Xu Shenxing's head-hunting event.
But the problem is that this sunken terrain is too disadvantageous for the city defenders, and it is hard to imagine that it has the deterrent power to deter neighboring countries.
Regardless of other things, as long as the siege party surrounds the cliff and shoots a round of ignited arrows down, it is enough to cause considerable chaos.
If it is more vicious, and water is drawn here from a distant river, I am afraid that this sinkhole city will become a swamp country in a short time, and it is already very good to survive one-tenth of it.
Unless it is as strong as Xu Shenxing's level, personal force and the combat effectiveness of the army will hardly have much effect in the face of this situation.
That's why Xu Shenxing felt a little unbelievable.
"Luomoxi is the only city protected by magic, whether it is attacked by water or set on fire, it will hardly affect it. And although it is invisible to the naked eye, there is actually a layer of enchantment on the top of the pothole Yes, that is a protective barrier that has been passed down from the legendary era, and there is no way to break it up to now."
Knowing that Xu Shenxing didn't know even some common sense about this world, Louise hurriedly explained.
"So that's the case, is there a supernatural force guarding it..."
Only then did Xu Shenxing nodded in understanding.
Probably only supernatural forces that ignore common sense can make such a city a neutral place.
"Master Evil God?"
Seeing Xu Shenxing's thoughtful appearance, the girl called out to him cautiously.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it." Xu Shenxing waved his hand: "Since this city is so strictly guarded, it might not be so easy to enter its interior, or even get to the upper echelons, right?"
"Well, but luckily, some time ago, Luomoxi's city lord's mansion issued an order." Speaking of matters related to the revival of her family, the girl looked energetic: "Actually, Luomoxili mixed in a The thief, during this period of time, he committed crimes crazily and has stolen the mansions of many dignitaries in Luomoxi, but Luomoxi's guards can't track down this person at all."
"is that so… "
Xu Shenxing was noncommittal about this, and the strange thief really didn't interest him.
"In the past two days, things were even lost in the City Lord's Mansion, so the City Lord's Mansion, which was still on airs, reluctantly issued a notice, wanting to mobilize the people of Luomoxi to arrest the thief together. The girl didn't notice Xu Shenxing's lack of interest, and still said in a rather excited tone: "They promised that as long as they find the thief, they will be awarded the honorary baron directly! You will directly join the upper class of Luomoxi!"
As long as he can enter the high society and show his face in front of the city lord of Luomoxi, it is a good choice whether it is to make money farming or find a way to obtain military merits and obtain his own fiefdom.
The only problem now is to hope that the thief will not be caught by others before his group finds the prisoner.
— For some reason, Louise didn't realize that she had a kind of mysterious trust in this strange evil god she summoned.
"Let me just ask, most of the lost things are shiny gold products, right?" Xu Shenxing asked suddenly.
"There are also gems and the like..." Louise replied in a daze.
"Well, I probably found out who the prisoner is." Xu Shenxing looked at a big black bird flying past not far away, with a playful look on his face.
"So fast?!"
