Leaving the secret realm was like passing through an invisible water film. A primeval forest appeared in front of Yetong and Qianye. The mountains in the distance were majestic, and on the other side, you could see the void. The color of the sky is magnificent, and the two continents can be seen drifting slowly.
Yetong carefully looked at the two continents in the void, and said, "That is the New Moon Continent of our blood race and the Azir Continent of the demons. Then we should be in the Twilight Continent."
"Reynolds put his final hiding place in Twilight?" Qianye felt that if the King of Blue wants to save his life, then the Blood Race's Twilight Continent has probably already fallen, and putting his hiding place here is the most inappropriate choice.
Yetong didn't see it that way, and said, "This secret realm is so small, it's safe to put it in Twilight. There won't be anyone searching this area."
The fringes of the continent are indeed desolate and dangerous. Long-lived species like the Blood Clan have a lower population density than the Empire, and they are basically settled by clans. The territories of the inherited clans are all in the core area, and the newly created clans will occupy the fertile land of the Central Continent. Naturally, there will be no Who lives here.
Yetong and Qianye were still searching and advancing at first, but then they simply let go of their speed and ran wildly. After running for hundreds of kilometers, they saw a blood castle in the distance.
The castle is built on the mountain, and it is not small in scale. It should roughly belong to the castle of the Marquis. The castle was built close to the top of the mountain, and the buildings were distributed according to the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was a small city that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, surrounded by farmland. Along the river, there are dozens of large and small workshops.
It was the first time for Qianye to see the castle on the mainland of the blood race. It felt different from the bottom-level Eternal Night Continent and other mixed-inhabited continents. He couldn't tell the details for a while, so he felt very curious.
Seeing Yetong, he said, "Look, the style of the main building of the castle is obviously different from that of the surrounding ones. It is built of large natural rocks, and the rocks have not been thoroughly polished. This is the architectural style of the blood race in ancient times. Explain that this The castle was built quite a long time ago, with a history of at least 1,500 years. The buildings below are different, they are all built from cut rocks. This construction technique only became popular after the Dawn Rebellion of."
"Dawn Rebellion?"
"Oh, it's the Dawn War that the Terran Empire said."
The War of Dawn is the battle for the founding of the empire, and in the eyes of Yong Ye, especially the blood race, it is an out-and-out rebellion.
With Yetong's explanation, Qianye saw the difference when he looked at the blood clan's castle again. The main building of the castle is rough and heavy, with only narrow and long windows. In the early days, it was obvious that the main building of the castle was used more for war. It was conceivable how uncomfortable it would be to live in it, let alone the extravagant and gorgeous blood race.
The buildings below are much more exquisite and gorgeous, they are all made of cut rectangular rocks, and there are many more carvings. On the next floor, there are stretches of gorgeous buildings, those tall and spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, it seems that they are not prepared for war.
The bottom of the castle is also some distance away from the foot of the mountain. The city located on the plain below the mountain has a variety of architectural styles, and there are large areas similar to slums.
Yetong glanced at Qianye and said, "Now, you are completely a blood race."
"… I know."
The blood core is on the cover of the Black Book, and the heart is on the back cover, the affiliation is self-evident. And Qianye's original crystals have all been moved to the heart, and the body is completely blood clan from the inside out, and the part that belongs to the human race is only the back cover of the black book.
Yetong sighed softly and said, "Are you still used to it?"
Qianye said calmly: "At first I was not used to it, but the body is just the body, what we are depends on how we do it in the final analysis."
Ye Tong looked at him and said, "Now, do you still want to stand on the side of the Human Race Empire?"
This question made Qianye silent. He has been evading, but since Yetong has asked, it means that he is not allowed to evade any more.
After thinking for a moment, Qianye said: "I don't understand why the empire suddenly wants to kill you at all costs?"
"Although I don't know the specific reason, I can roughly guess it. On the holy mountain of the parliament, everyone hopes for my return. Only when I come back can the door to the new world be truly opened."
Qianye was slightly taken aback, he never knew that Yetong was the key to opening the door to the new world.
"There are still some people in the parliament who don't want me to appear. They don't know the connection between the new world and me, and maybe they don't care if they know it. The holy mountain is a place they can't touch in their entire lives, so for them , the hatred handed down from the ancient times is the overriding thing. If you can’t oppose the holy mountain openly, someone will leak my information to the empire. If you are in power in the empire, will you watch me return to the eternal night?"
"But you once lived in the empire, and you don't have any hatred for the human race."
"Hatred? It's quite a lot. Have you forgotten how we got to the neutral place?"
Qianye sighed and said, "Just to eliminate a potential threat, are they going to do that?"
Having said that, Qianye understood in his heart that preventing the opening of the new world and preventing another dark holy mountain from appearing, this reason is enough for the empire.
"Of course they would do this, and more than once. In retrospect, he probably didn't know about the Uranus bullet in Cointreau's hand."
"Countreau's Heavenly King bomb?!" Qianye was taken aback.
Yetong then told the whole story of the battle with Zhao Jundu that day, and finally said: "Jundu is not a liar, even on the battlefield, at least he wouldn't lie to me. How did the Heavenly King Bullet appear on him? In the gun, I am afraid I will ask the people of the empire."
Qianye's expression gradually became serious. He didn't expect that Yetong had already been hit by the Heavenly King Bullet once before, and it was Zhao Jundu who shot it. This incident was not included in the reports he had seen from any source.
And Qianye also found a problem from Yetong's words, Yetong showed no mercy to Song Zining. Now comparing the cause and effect, and listening to Yetong's various reasons, Qianye naturally understands that there is no reason for the entanglement with Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan in the maelstrom. The mastermind behind the scenes should be Song Zining.
Thinking of Song Zining, Qianye seemed to see that gentle face, and heard him say: "Qianye, leave her, she is no longer the former Yetong, but you still have to live, you can't just sink like this. Believe it I, I am sincerely for your own good, there are many good women in this world besides her."
Then it was Song Zining's eyes closed, unconscious. Only when he is unconscious, he will tear off all the pretense of being romantic and unrestrained, as if he has returned to the age of the underworld, a cruel and lonely boy, only himself and his partner.
Qianye smiled wryly, shook his head, and expelled the image of Song Zining from his mind. From Song Zining's point of view, maybe he is right. But from Yetong's point of view, Song Zining would definitely hate him to the bone.
After thinking about it for a long time, Qianye let out a sigh.
"Have you figured it out?" Yetong asked.
"Yes."
"So, how do you decide?"
"Again, who we are is how we do it. Brothers are brothers, empires are empires."
Ye Tong breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said with a light smile, "That's good, I thought you would go back to work."
"Do I look that stupid?"
Yetong said seriously: "It's not like, it is!"
Qianye was out of breath, hugged her up, feigned anger and said, "Since you awakened, I haven't dealt with you properly yet!"
Yetong's body softened, and he leaned against Qianye, saying, "Well, there are many opportunities. What are your plans for the future?"
Qianye said: "Although I am a blood race now, it does not mean that I will agree with all the practices of the blood race. However, when I was in Yonglu, I discovered that it is not impossible for various races to coexist on the same land. Later in the Black Sun Valley , There are quite a few blood races who are willing to work for me, not all blood races are willing to die to defend the tradition. I also thought about it, I can try to change the part that I don't agree with."
Yetong nodded, "This way I can feel at ease."
"I can't change anything now. After all, I'm just a duke. Even if I become a grand duke, I'm afraid I'm no match for the crowned prince. But when I become stronger, I will naturally be able to change more."
After hearing this, Yetong suddenly looked a little dark. Qianye was startled, and hurriedly asked what happened.
Yetong forced a smile and said, "I was thinking, if I hadn't been so self-willed and had completed the awakening process as soon as possible, the mark should have been ignited by now, and at least I would be a crowned prince. Perhaps, Renault would be fine."
Qianye patted her on the back lightly, and said: "Let the past be the past, we must live well, and we will avenge Lei Nuo in the future."
Yetong nodded, pulled himself out of Qianye's arms, and said, "I'll continue to tell you about the blood race."
In the city below, most of the population is not blood race, but various races that are considered inferior by blood race, and many of them exist as lambs that provide blood food on a regular basis. Among these lower races, the human race is naturally indispensable. The blood of the human race has long been proven to be the best delicacy for the blood race.
Before the Dawn War, most of these low-level races were coolies and slaves, and the races headed by the human race that could provide blood were not even counted as slaves. They were completely kept in captivity, no different from livestock.
However, the bottom-level blood clan's practice of transforming various races into blood slaves and using them as one-time cannon fodder servants has always been controversial. Demons have a lot of opinions on this kind of crazy beast made like a plague, while werewolves and nerubians themselves have natural servants and have no position against cannon fodder.
After the Dawn War, Taizu led the rise of the human race and broke out of the Twilight Continent in one fell swoop, shocking the entire Eternal Night. Since then, the blood race has begun to re-examine the potential of the human race from top to bottom, and found that it is a waste to raise the human race as livestock.
Therefore, some more enlightened blood clans began to try to give the human race a little rights and freedom, impart knowledge, and let them develop, cultivate and build. As a price, the human race needs to provide blood regularly and provide a fixed amount of flesh and blood.
The results of the experiment were astonishing. The human race burst out with astonishing vitality under extremely limited conditions. Cities were built out of thin air, a large amount of wasteland was reclaimed, and as the population surged, the supply of flesh and blood was no longer a problem.
In addition to reclaiming agricultural land, the human race also began to develop mines and build workshops to provide raw materials and some simple processed parts for the blood workshops. Many people even got some positions to manage other inferior races.
This is the origin of the city in front of Qianye. However, the human race developed in this way is one of the vassal races of the blood race, and its living habits and social forms are fundamentally different from the residents of the Great Qin Empire and other human kingdoms.
And the real blood clan originally lived in the castle, and until now the superiors still adhere to this tradition. But many descendants with mixed blood, for comfort and convenience, also moved to the cities below the mountain. They often live in separate urban areas, segregated from the lower races to show their distinction.
But from Qianye's point of view, this has already taken the form of mixed living.
