After all, this is not a good thing for Yetong, at least it means that in the eyes of the Black Wing King, Yetong is not the most qualified heir.
A blood girl asked puzzledly: "His Highness Yetong is a native species, is there anyone whose blood is more pure than His Highness?"
As soon as this question came out, the hall was suddenly quiet. Many people have actually thought about this question, but no one is stupid enough to say it.
The original species means that the awakened ancestor bloodline is the bloodline closest to Anduya, and even the descendants embraced by the maharaja himself are not as good as the original species. Among the younger generation of the Monroe Clan, there is only Yetong, a native species, and looking at the entire blood clan, the number of native species is only a few, but their awakened blood is far less than Yetong.
Even among the thirteen second-generation ancestors, Anduya, the black-winged king, has the highest combat power. But now, another blood descendant who also has the blood of Anduya appeared. In this way, Yetong is no longer the only one, and the value has also undergone a subtle change.
Although Yetong was standing in front of the window, he had already listened to the discussions of the young blood race behind him. Hearing this, she should have been worried or thinking about her future, but for some reason, Qianye's figure appeared in Yetong's tired heart.
She gave a wry smile and pressed her forehead against the cold metal edge of the porthole. The flames of war in the Evernight Continent have subsided, and it seems that Heiliu City has not been included in the attack target in the end. So, is he okay
The airship crossed the void and gradually flew to the Twilight Continent. Yetong looked at the mainland that had already occupied the entire porthole, and slowly calmed down, sinking that figure into the bottom of her heart.
The last part of the journey was exceptionally peaceful, Qianye did not encounter any obstacles and arrived in You City smoothly.
This is a steel-style fortified city. The city wall is 20 meters high, and there are thick and heavy steel plates inlaid on the wall. Although steel is not valuable among metals, building a city of steel is a big deal.
The most eye-catching thing from a distance is the heart of the human city: the eternal moving tower, Youcheng has a total of six eternal moving towers, five of which are built around the city, and together guard the towering central power tower.
In the sky above the city, there is a huge airship floating. It is nearly a hundred meters long from head to tail. It looks like a small floating fortress from a distance. This airship is not flying, and there are several arm-thick iron cables hanging below it to fix its position.
Qianye looked around, and there were two cannons, several anti-aircraft machine guns, and several long-distance telescopes pointing in different directions on the airship. Even though he was used to the cutting-edge ordnance of the Red Scorpion headquarters, he couldn't help but marvel at the courage of Youcheng, and actually fixed an airship as a watchtower and firepower point.
The gates of You City are metal rail-driven gates driven by steam. It is time to open the gates. Half of the gates on both sides are submerged in the city walls. Even so, the width of the passageway for vehicles, horses and pedestrians in the middle has already exceeded the gates of Heiliu City. size. It was only when Qianye passed the city gate that he discovered that the gate was not a single layer, but a full five layers of metal doors overlapping each other.
You City has a large population and is located on the border. However, there are no traces of war in the city. The streets are wide and clean, and the eaves of many buildings are decorated quite exquisitely.
Qianye walked along the street towards the city center, and the buildings that caught the eye gradually became taller and more magnificent, and there were more retro-style buildings among them. The metal beams and columns with carved patterns were mixed with the stone brick walls, showing a kind of Strange aesthetic. He saw a seven-story restaurant, a company headquarters hundreds of meters high, and a grand square that could accommodate thousands of people.
After entering the central area, many shops with the Yanyun Zhao emblem on their shop signs appeared. Whether it's a restaurant or a gun shop, they all have one thing in common, the exterior is carved and painted, and the interior is extremely gorgeous, even in this bustling street, they stand out from the crowd.
The clothes and colors of people walking around in the central city are obviously different. Travelers like Qianye are quite rare.
Qianye walked around the neighborhood and found a mid-range hotel on the edge of the central city. The housing price was several times higher than that of Weiyang, the largest city in the Eternal Night Continent, which made him speechless.
Although this hotel can only be regarded as a middle-level hotel in Youcheng, the maids are all quite handsome. Qianye found the room, put away his things, took a shower, and then threw himself on the big soft bed. After a long period of fleeing and fighting, this place is simply a paradise.
Qianye closed his eyes, took a short nap, jumped up from the bed, looked at the facilities in the room, and pulled a tassel hanging from the head of the bed. The brass bell at the other end of the inn rang cheerfully.
After a while, the door knocked, and a soft voice came: "What are your orders?"
Qianye opened the door and said to the maid: "Bring me a map of Youcheng, and then bring in three meals."
The maid saw Qianye's face clearly, her eyes lit up, and she showed a charming smile, "I will prepare it for you immediately! In addition, if you want to go shopping in the city, I can act as a guide."
Qianye didn't make any unnecessary responses, and the maid wasn't disappointed either, she gave a still soft wink and backed out. After a while, the map and meals were delivered to the room. Qianye ate and drank enough. After studying the map for a while, he finally found the destination of his trip: Jinxi Casino.
It was still afternoon at this moment, so he simply took another nap, recharged his energy, and adjusted everything to the best state, then he brought all his equipment and left the hotel.
Night had already descended on Youcheng, the streets were brightly lit, and there were no fewer pedestrians than during the day.
Qianye hurriedly walked in the direction of Jinxi Casino. The casino is close to the central area. It is a three-story building. Although the exterior is resplendent, it has some old traces, and there are a few areas where the neon lights are not bright.
As usual, there were a few strong men in black standing at the entrance of the casino, with their chests and belly protruding, exuding a not weak breath of force, and blankly scanning the people who came in and out.
Qianye walked into the gate of the casino with the flow of people, and immediately a young girl greeted her with a smile and said, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
The girl is pretty and pleasant, but she is not as good as the welcome guests at another big casino two streets away. This is also the difference between the two casinos, and the casino named Yanyue is behind the Zhao family.
Qianye took out ten imperial gold coins, put them in the girl's hand, and said, "Change them into chips, and then take me to the place to play Blackjack."
The girl showed a sweet smile, and exchanged the chips back in a moment, then led Qianye up to the second floor, into a medium-sized casino. There are more than ten gamblers here, the environment is elegant and quiet, and several maids shuttle back and forth to serve the gamblers.
Ten gold coins were just enough for Qianye to be eligible to enter this casino, and in exchange for the girl's sweet smile. However, if you want to exchange her for a more charming appearance and a slightly ambiguous attitude, ten gold coins are not enough, at least twenty gold coins are needed. And if you exchange enough chips of 50 gold coins, you can go up to the third floor and bring this girl into the room.
Qianye had no interest in these amusements at all, and came here only to contact the recipient of the Yanxin Jade Book. He looked around, then walked to a card table.
Blackjack is a card game that is easy to learn.
Qianye sat at the gambling table, asked for a hand of cards, and played a few random hands, winning and losing. In the seventh game, he turned his cards sideways. It's a small gesture, not noticeable. Many gamblers have their own small actions, and the dealer just glanced at them casually and stopped paying attention.
In the blink of an eye, there were several more rounds of cards, and when it reached the second seven rounds, Qianye seemed to inadvertently turn his hand sideways. The dealer's eyes flicked over Qianye again, and he continued to collect and deal cards as usual, taking in or pushing out chips.
In the third seven rounds, Qianye played a horizontal hand again, and then lost this round. By this time, most of the chips exchanged for ten gold coins had been lost. Qianye seemed to be annoyed as he pushed his cards and stood up. As soon as he left his seat, a gambler who couldn't wait came over to take his place.
Qianye walked around the casino, and seemed to have no interest in other gambling games, so he walked outside.
At this moment, a faint fragrance came, followed by a soft voice, very close to Qianye's ear, "We still have some special games, are you interested?"
Qianye had sensed someone approaching a long time ago, so he turned his head and saw that the person speaking was a woman in black. Her appearance can only be considered delicate, but her skin is as snowy, especially at this moment when she lowers her head slightly, and her neck and shoulders like cream are exposed under her long coiled hair, which even looks dazzling against the black clothes.
Qianye's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "I only play Blackjack."
The young woman smiled very seductively, and put her hand on Qianye's arm, but said in a low voice, "We have three sets of black jacks."
This was the promised code, Qianye nodded, and said calmly, "Okay, take me to have a look."
The woman in black immediately led Qianye through another casino, and then stepped into a quiet corridor. She stopped suddenly, and pressed her hand on the wall, and a secret door appeared on the flat wall. The woman in black pulled Qianye into it quickly. Behind the secret door was a spiral staircase. After going down one level, she pushed open a secret door on an empty wall.
At this time, Qianye found himself standing in a dark alley behind the casino. There are no street lights in the alley, and there are high walls on both sides. Perhaps this is not a passage, but a gap between two huge buildings. At this time, the dark alley was silent and dark, only the lights from the casino windows added a bit of light to the place.
"Follow me." The woman in black gestured to Qianye, and walked towards the end of the alley first.
Qianye followed her for about ten minutes, passing narrow streets and dark alleys along the way, getting more and more remote, and finally came to an old two-story building that looked abandoned for a long time.
All the windows of this old building are dilapidated, few of them are intact, but there should still be residents inside, and there is still a dim light in some windows. The door at the bottom of the building was ajar, and the originally thick metal door was covered with rust.
The woman in black took a step back, stood beside Qianye, and said softly, "The person you are looking for is inside, go in."
Qianye glanced over there, there was no light at all on the first floor, and he couldn't see anything through the crack in the door. A faint red light flashed in the depths of his pupils, then he took a step and stood in front of the door.
He didn't push the door immediately, but turned around and asked, "Should I just go in by myself?"
