At a glance, the area of the original slums outside the city has at least doubled in size, and a new residential area has been built around the construction sites, and the werewolves in the original slums have all moved here.
Qianye suddenly had a clump of bright feathers drifting past, and saw an acquaintance. He gestured to Yetong to stay where she was, while he held the chief back.
I haven't seen him for a while, and the werewolf chief has obviously gained a lot of weight and is also a little taller. The enlarged body gives him more room to put bright feathers and jewels to show his opulence.
Being grabbed without warning, the chief was very surprised. He wanted to explode into a rage, but when he saw it was Qianye, he immediately put on a smile on his face, surprised and delighted: "Your Majesty, you are back!"
The chief's natural surprise made Qianye feel a little doubtful, and asked, "How is the situation in the city now?"
"It can't be worse!" The chief's voice immediately rose an octave. Without waiting for Qianye to ask, he continued: "You don't know, there are all kinds of races in the city now, it's so noisy, there is obviously no place to live, but dozens of transport ships send people over every day. You Take a look, is this still our old city of blue waves?"
The chief said angrily: "These guys from outside are very rude, no matter if they are vampires, demons, nerubians, or even werewolves! To build the largest shop, the most indispensable thing is gold coins' This is said, as if we are very poor."
This is obviously a good thing... Qianye continued to listen.
The chief waved his arms vigorously, and his voice raised again: "These guys want to use money to humiliate us, and we will use money to humiliate us back! That's right, that's what we did."
"Werewolf tradition, shouldn't one respond with strength when dealing with humiliation?" Qianye was a little puzzled.
"We can't beat it." The chief was very honest.
"Can't beat... oh, okay." Qianye was speechless. Unable to beat them, Qianye didn't think that these werewolves who were in the form of primitive tribes a few months ago could accumulate any wealth.
The chief left the little unpleasant memories behind, and began to wave his arms vigorously again, foaming and saying: "But we have educated these outsiders well, what is real wealth! The land under our feet , is the ultimate wealth. Without our land, where do they want to build their shops? Will they be built in the sky? No matter how big a shop is, they have to buy land from us."
After Qianye questioned for a while, he finally understood the reason of the matter.
Originally, the City of Blue Waves already had the rudiments of neutral transactions among various races. After the Eternal Night Civil War broke out again, the demand for various military supplies surged.
Although the Blood Race suffered a crushing defeat in the base camp of the Twilight Continent, they still have considerable strength in other continents and many territories. Especially on the few continents where various ethnic groups live together, those blood lords are adventurers, of course they will not let their hands go, and resistance continues one after another. In some remote areas, they even beat out the parliamentary coalition forces.
Now it seems to have returned to the previous jihad state for a while. No matter the blood race or the demon descendants, they need to purchase a lot of supplies and have a lot of demand for gray transactions, and Yonglu happens to be a natural place.
On Yong Continent, there is no more suitable place than the City of Blue Waves. The lord here is Qianye, and there are two dukes under him, and there are endorsements from the top of the peaks, crushing other areas in terms of security.
Even though the demon descendants had already distributed the order to arrest Qianye, most of them didn't know the intricate reasons behind it. The various tribes of Yongye have conquered each other for thousands of years, not to mention between the two tribes, even within each tribe, they are enemies and friends at times, as long as they are not sure about being captured or killed in a day and night, as long as they do not have the confidence to take down the entire city of blue waves People who don't dare to mess around here.
The crazy influx of businessmen, adventurers and speculators from all ethnic groups made the city of blue waves overcrowded for a while. The huge demand represented by each businessman is the foundation of the city's prosperity.
A large number of projects have made the labor force in the city of blue waves become insufficient. Those who came to the City of Blue Waves found that the werewolves here were exceptionally hard-working, no matter what kind of work they did quickly and well, they were not at all irritable and troublesome like werewolves in other continents.
Insufficient labor, and attracted the surrounding werewolf tribes, it became the appearance before Qianye's eyes.
With a swipe of his hand, the chief included all the original civilian areas outside the city, and then said: "During your absence, all our chief priests have discussed it. You are the son of darkness, and you should be the richest People. So everyone agrees that the land in this area belongs to you."
Qianye was very surprised. The area within the City of Blue Waves is actually limited, and the original slums outside have all been turned into commercial areas. This piece of land belongs to Qianye, that is to say, the ground rent of the shops above belongs to Qianye, which is a huge fortune. It seems that the Emerald Sea werewolf did not give up his faith just because Qianye left.
Out of caution, Qianye still didn't let Yetong show up, but followed the chief back to the Grand Duke's mansion.
Qianye signaled the chief to slightly control the spread of news of his return, and to inform William first.
William came very quickly, he saw Qianye's first words and said, "You still dare to show up?"
"Show your face and go right away."
William looked better, and said, "You know it's good to be afraid. I'm worried that you will fight to the end with the demons."
Qianye spread his hands, "I haven't lived enough yet!"
William stared at Qianye, looked left and right, and said: "When I first got the news, I thought it was not true. You can really cause trouble, and you dare to intervene in the war between the blood race and the demon descendants."
"I didn't cause trouble this time, it was the council that first troubled me. Besides, the Green King saved me, so I can't watch his people being slaughtered."
William frowned, "That's what I said, but this war is no longer controlled by personal factors, alas!"
Qianye said: "When I come back this time, I also want to find out what the werewolf's attitude is towards this war. Not long ago, Sosa and the demons wanted to kill me together."
"Sousa?" William said with a serious face, "He is very cunning, and his real combat power is far above his reputation. Many people turned into corpses because they underestimated him. It cannot be said that it is an accident that he is willing to work for the Demon Emperor. We werewolves are now actually in a state of division, and the wolf ancestors have completely sided with the Demon Emperor, and under his call, many ancestor factions have also followed."
Qianye shook his head, "With the status of the wolf ancestor, he would do such a thing? It's really incomprehensible." Those people of the blood clan are desperate to get power from the blood river, and want to take other ways to get close to the source of darkness, why are the werewolves
William said: "It is said that the Demon Emperor promised to restore the seat on the holy mountain that originally belonged to the werewolf, so the wolf ancestor fell over."
At this moment, Qianye also had some understanding of the structure of the Yongye Council, and after listening to it, he said: "The Supreme Being of the Holy Mountain still needs someone else's promise? Even if there is a position on the Holy Mountain, without the strength of the Supreme, can you sit there? Can you sit firmly? "
William smiled bitterly, "The wolf ancestor is almost at the end of his life. Not to mention the promise made by the Demon Emperor, even if he didn't, he would probably be willing to let him sit on the holy mountain for a while. If he can't become supreme, then he won't live long. So Even if he knows that the chance of the Demon Emperor's promise being fulfilled is slim, he still wants to give it a try."
The empire has a precedent of the longevity king, so Qianye knows how tempting life extension is for a dying old man.
"What about the top of the mountain?"
William said: "The Lord Wolf handed over the storm and sent a large number of soldiers to participate in the new world war, which is already a compromise. His only resistance was to let me avoid it. I heard that the Demon Emperor didn't intend to pursue it after he knew about it. That's it. So we don't intend to participate in this war between the blood race and the devil race."
"The blood clan falls, and the next one is the werewolf."
William smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "You don't know enough about the structure of the eternal night. Even if you want to attack, the Demon Emperor will take the spider demon first, and it's not our turn to be a werewolf. In the eyes of the Demon Emperor, we are not considered Not a threat."
Qianye sighed. He really didn't understand the entanglement of various clans, but he always vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the werewolf's judgment. However, he didn't say much. It's not William's turn to make a decision on such a major matter that involves the survival of the whole family. , not even qualified to express an opinion.
With the two of them here, they really could only complain.
William's eyes became a little strange, and he said, "By the way, there are two pieces of news that are not very good. Do you want to hear them?"
"explain."
"One is that the Demon Race has clearly wanted you and asked all the Eternal Night Race to cooperate."
Qianye nodded, "I know this. But you dare to meet me like this? Are you afraid that the demon descendant will trouble you in the future?"
William laughed, and said: "In the past, Lord Wolf would still have a headache for his successor, but now he doesn't. He has only one choice for me."
"What about the second message?"
"The second one is purely gossip. No one knows if it's true or not." William's first sentence was to declare that the news was not reliable. But then he understood why William would say that.
"After the fall of Twilight, the blood race has no ancestor-level powerhouses, but I don't know if you feel it, but the demons are still controlling the intensity of this holy war."
Qianye thought for a while, then asked: "The meaning of controlling the intensity of the war is the level of the strong participating in the war?"
"In the past, it also included the areas where wars were initiated. For example, the core territories of various ethnic groups would not be directly attacked. However, this time the demons attacked Twilight, which has broken this rule. Therefore, their princes and maharajas did not continue to appear in the area." It’s going to be weird on the battlefield later on.”
Apparently, the top of the group said to remain neutral, but they were also very vigilant about the development of the situation. After the demons gained an absolute advantage with lightning speed, they slowed down the pace of conquering other territories of the vampires, which confused the werewolf. And Qianye hadn't realized this problem before, so he couldn't help but feel strange after hearing what William said.
William said: "I heard that this is a promise made by the Demon Emperor to Prince Habs, the ancestor of the blood clan. Let the war between the two clans be resolved in a holy war."
Qianye's only understanding of Habs was definitely not a pleasant memory. Hearing this, he frowned and asked, "Habs is still alive?"
"It should be alive." William said: "This promise is not a small matter. Jihad has rules, bottom lines and restrictions. Under the current situation, it is beneficial for the blood clan to abide by the rules of jihad, and the occupied areas will not be massacred. Others At least for a while longer!"
William said with some emotion: "I didn't expect there to be such a character in the blood clan, so that the Demon Emperor can make a promise to him." He patted Qianye on the shoulder and said: "If this news is true, you can let go of half of your heart. According to the rules, the Holy Mountain will not participate in the battle, that is to say, at least you don't have to worry about the Demon Emperor coming directly in front of you."
At this moment, neither of them knew that Qianye's being wanted had nothing to do with his participation in the blood war, nor did they know about the various confrontations of the big figures behind the gossip, but William's analysis results were considered crooked, almost the same as the truth.
Qianye said thoughtfully: "No wonder Sosa added an ancient rune beacon to me."
"Ancient runic beacons?" William frowned, and said, "This is a little strange, it's completely unnecessary? Looking for someone in the Holy Mountain, as long as there are some clues, it is still possible to determine the approximate location. And the great prophet of the demon-born Invincible Nightmare came out again It's active. The young Prince Praetik is extremely powerful. It is said that he has surpassed his uncle, the previous chief prophet of the parliament, Master Gray. If he is the one who calculates your position, it will also be more accurate. The result. No matter which one, the accuracy will not be worse than the runic beacon."
The two discussed Sosa's strange behavior for a while, but there was no result, and the attitude of the Demon Emperor towards this war made them even more confused. William asked about Qianye's future plans.
"Flee, keep running." Qianye laughed.
William nodded, "Then I'm relieved. When will it start?"
Qianye stood up and said, "Now."
"Don't you see anyone else?" William was a little surprised.
"I showed this face, let's see the reactions of all parties first. As for other people, there are many opportunities to meet."
Suddenly, William said, "Yonglu is indeed a good place."
Qianye said so, it is obvious that he will not leave Yonglu in a short time. The environment in Yonglu is harsh, and the chaotic and restless force greatly reduces the cultivation of the strong, and the effects of tracking spells, and even divination and secret spells will also be greatly reduced, just like the neutral land.
However, Yonglu is a whole continent, much larger than all the floating lands in the neutral land combined, so there is more room to move around here, and it is easier to get rid of tracking. Moreover, the local influence of the demon descendants in Yonglu is almost zero. Compared with Qianye, which has been operating for a period of time, they are pure outsiders.
After meeting William and understanding the werewolf's position, Qianye left the City of Blue Waves and disappeared into the depths of the vast land to wait for an opportunity. Now that he has become the number one person on the most wanted list of demon descendants, it would be a good thing on another level if he could hold back a large number of parliamentary troops who were chasing him.
At this moment, in the lava castle of Habs, the Demon Emperor put down the ancient book in his hand, and said gently to Sosa: "Can you tell me why you use rune beacons?"
