City of Judgment.
Three beast carts sped down the streets, heading away from the Crystal Tower.
Su Ze and the others sat on the beast cart provided by Ju'er, and their destination was the organization called "Bone Ashes", a nearby stronghold.
"Well, Mr. Valette, what kind of organization is the Ashes?" asked Su Ze quietly.
The vampire who sent the letter replied respectfully, "Your Highness Su Ze, you will soon find out...... I have no right to tell you anything about the inside story until I meet our president......"
This guy is impeccable in etiquette, but he won't say even the slightest extra news, which is really unreasonable!
However, Su Ze didn't want to meet this guy in general, this vampire named Valette was just an errand runner and had no value. For this kind of thing, it's better to ask their boss in person.
The City of Judgment is a large city, and if you look down from the sky, it is a myriad of concentric circles centered on the crystal tower.
The Crystal Tower Realm is of course the most core area, although the territory is only more than 100 square kilometers, but it is extremely important here, and it is the center of the entire Kingdom of God.
In addition, it is the part that is close to the fifth ring road of the crystal tower field, and this part is also called the administrative district. There are middle- and lower-level political institutions of the Kingdom of God, the headquarters of non-governmental organizations, embassies of other Kingdom of God, as well as academies and libraries. It was also the residence of many nobles and high-ranking officials.
From the sixth ring to the tenth ring, it is a more subordinate senior area. This is the high-end commercial center of the City of Judgment, and it is also the most prosperous area, where wealthy merchants from all over the kingdom of God and all planes like to conduct business transactions. At the same time, it is also a high-end residential area, and wealthy people such as low-class nobles and big businessmen like to live here.
Su Ze's temporary stronghold was in this high-level area, located in the outermost Tenth Ring Road.
From the 11th to the 20th Ring Road, it is a mid-range urban area, which is the territory of ordinary citizens and merchants, as well as various workshops, workshops and so on.
Within the 20th Ring Road, it is a metropolitan area. From the twenty-first ring, even if it is a suburb. Most of these areas are farms of all kinds, as well as farms, orchards, etc. Basically the equivalent of the countryside.
Su Ze's current destination is in the 25th Ring Road.
......................................................................................................
Three hours later, Su Ze and the others' beast cart arrived at its destination, a large farm located in the 25th Ring Road.
I saw the endless wheat fields shining brightly, the pastures green sè, and the boundless reeds rustling on the ponds and marshes. A long rectangular wheat field stretches to the horizon, and the whole farm seems to be like a sea of golden sè and dark green.
At this time, you can see some farmers working in the fields, but if you look closely, you will see that these farmers do not seem to be human.
There's zombies, there's mummies, there's soul-trapping and whatever. Su Ze even saw a few dark gray winged night shadows, swimming over the farm, seemingly driving a herd of livestock.
It looks very eerie.
“...... I...... What do I see?" exclaimed Wang Zhi beside him.
"Don't the undead need to farm, don't they need to eat!?" Lu Di also looked incredulous.
Su Ze smiled: "Hehe...... It's true that most of the undead don't need to eat, but that doesn't stop them from farming...... They don't eat it themselves, don't they know to take it out and sell it?"
The undead farming thing may seem incredible in other places, but in the Urban Empire, it is simply too normal. This kind of thing is also very common on the earth, for example, Muslims themselves may not eat pig rou, but in Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt and other countries, Muslims are running pig farms in a big way.
"Exactly!" the vampire named Valette laughed, "...... His Royal Highness Su Xue was right, although they didn't need this kind of food themselves, there were many people out there who needed them...... For us, these foods are a precious resource. ”
With that, their cart continued on its way, heading from the road in the middle of the farm to the inside.
After a while, their beast cart stopped at the mouth of a courtyard.
This yard is a common local style, and the territory is relatively large, but the appearance is not very special, just like an ordinary farmer.
..........................................................................................
After a while, the large mén of the yard opened automatically.
"Just drive in......" Valette signaled.
Once you enter Mén, there is a wide courtyard. An old man in a black robe was standing in the middle of the courtyard, waiting for them.
As soon as Su Ze and them got out of the car, the vampire saluted the black-robed old man: "...... Elder Thackeray, the guests have arrived......"
The black-robed old man nodded with a smile and said, "Hehe, I've seen it...... Valette, go and rest......"
"Yes, Elder Thackeray......" Valette bowed and retreated.
The black-robed old man stepped forward, bowed to Su Ze and the others, and said, "...... His Royal Highness Su Ze, His Royal Highness Mu Luo, His Royal Highness the Crimson Moon, His Royal Highness Ju'er, and all the distinguished guests, have admired for a long time...... My name is Thackeray, the owner of this manor, and one of the five elders of the ashes......"
Su Ze could see at a glance that this black-robed old man named Thackeray was a vampire. A legendary vampire, and a very high-level legendary powerhouse.
"Hello, Elder Thackeray......" Su Ze also nodded with a smile, and said directly: "...... Elder Thackeray, what is the meaning of that letter you sent?"
"Your Royal Highness Su Ze, please don't worry, this matter is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words......
Thackeray smiled, turned sideways, and made a gesture of please: "...... Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me to the living room...... We can explore there, and we have some stuff ready to show you......"
"Okay, then go into the house and talk ......" Su Ze nodded.
................................................................................................
This is a very large living room, but the decoration inside is very simple, all kinds of furnishings and furnishings, it looks extremely simple, but very clean.
After the guest and host took their seats, Su Xue said in a heartfelt manner: "...... Elder Thackeray, I have seen the letter you sent. However, I cannot trust your intelligence capabilities...... The Land of Eternal Sleep is no ordinary place......"
Thackeray laughed, "...... Hahaha, Your Highness Su Ze, you must not doubt this. Since we said we know, we must know...... I can use the credibility of the ashes for tens of thousands of years to guarantee this. ”
"Okay......" Su Xue smiled and said, "Although we haven't fought Jia Dao, I am willing to believe you for the time being......"
"Even if your news is accurate, then, what are you going to exchange it for?" Su Xue said quietly.
Although the letter said that the news was sent for nothing, Su Ze is not a child anymore, he doesn't believe that there is such a living Lei Feng in the world, oh, there may be, but it is definitely not this guy.
Although Su Xue is not very clear about the details of the ashes, he can still understand a thing or two through some side channels. This organization is not a charitable organization like the Red Cross, there are killers, mercenaries, bodyguards, adventurers, spies...... There are just no philanthropists.
As the old saying goes, "If you have nothing to do, you will steal ......", and the ancients did not deceive me.
Su Zecai would not believe that there is such a good thing in the world. Is it possible that such important information would be given away in vain?
No, this so-called "free giveaway" is just like those page games on the planet that are under the guise of "free games", but in fact cheat more money than "paid games".
He is very short on time now, he has no mind, and he is not in the mood to play this kind of word game with the other party. So, as soon as he came, he went straight to the point. Ask directly about the other party's conditions.
......................................................................................................
“...... Belch...... This ......" Thackeray was obviously stunned, he didn't expect Su Xue to go directly to this.
So, he said with some embarrassment: "...... Your Highness Su Ze, I think you have misunderstood. We deliver this news at no cost to you...... Just ......"
Isn't this coming? Hmph...... Su Ze despised it in his heart.
"Just what?" Su Ze stared at him and said motionlessly.
Thackeray's face straightened, and he said, "...... We hope that His Royal Highness Su Ze will be able to bring this thing with him when he enters that place......
As he spoke, he took out a xia box from the cabinet beside him and pushed it in front of Su Ze.
The box was dusty, unremarkable, and I couldn't even tell what it was.
"When you get to the place of eternal sleep, put this chest in it and open it...... It's simple, it's just a gesture for you......"
Thackeray said, "...... If His Highness Su Ze is willing to do it, we will not only present the map of the Land of Eternal Sleep with both hands, but also other thank-you gifts. ”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and there were a lot of things on the table in the room.
"Shhh...... hiss...... "Su Ze immediately heard a few netbsp; All kinds of magic props, rare magic materials, Su Xue only glanced at it slightly, and now there are many things in it that are priceless. Although he didn't show that exaggerated, his heart still couldn't help but skip a beat.
Thackeray was very satisfied with their reaction, and said, "Your Highness Su Ze, as long as you are willing to do it, everything here is a thank you gift...... That map is even more of a gift
