Chapter 564: City Building Ceremony
Last time I parted with Wang Cai and the Mo brother and sister, dozens of days passed.
During these days, Wang Cai has sent the first group of members of the Netherworld Group into the Netherworld City. The Netherworld Group branch of the Netherworld City has begun to operate. At the same time, Wang Cai has sent out invitations, inviting representatives from major forces to attend the city building ceremony.
Wang Cai's invitation letter clearly describes the concept of building a neutral city, a trading city established on the premise of peaceful coexistence between the two tribes.
This invitation post was spread first and the forces on the entire Wan Yao Continent who received the invitation post were instantly boiling!
It turned out to be a neutral city! This is really incredible!
While shocked, many people also saw the value of Neutral City, assumptions, just assumptions!
Assuming that this neutral city is really established, then the trade between the demon clan and humans can go public. This is too great for countless merchants!
The demon clan and humans have their own characteristics. Some rare and rare treasures may not be expensive in the demon clan, but in human society, the prices are hyped up. On the contrary, the same situation is true for the demon clan.
In the past, there was no trade between the demon race and humans, but those were hidden under the table and were shameless transactions. Undoubtedly, although such transactions could bring huge benefits, the risks and costs accompanied by them were also quite large. If you make a mistake, you may lose your life's new blood.
But if these transactions can be opened and trade between the two tribes openly... When I think of this, countless forces have already seen the business opportunities, and purple gold coins are flashing in their eyes. This is an opportunity to make a fortune! As long as who can stand firm in this neutral city first, the benefits are amazing!
News about the Zhongli City gradually began to flow out from major forces, one to ten, ten to hundreds, and a hundred to thousands... Soon, the entire Wan Yao Continent fell into a frenzy and began to discuss the matter of the Zhongli City wildly.
A city that has never been heard of before on the Ten Thousand Demon Continent and has truly achieved complete neutrality!
...
Today, the Weifeng Prairie welcomed a large number of people.
That’s right, today is the city building ceremony and it is also the opening day for the first batch of people entering the city. In just a few hours, the city has already flooded with millions of people, or it can be said to be a demon tide.
The city gates in eight directions of the Neutral City were crowded with dense crowds, and people rushed into the city at all times.
Neutral City opens up humans and demons to enter, but only those who have wisdom and communication skills can be called demons. Otherwise, if there is only the instinct of wild beasts, they cannot be called demons, but demons! Neutral City does not allow demons to enter.
Regarding this, not to mention humans, even the demon clan has no objection. In the big cities of the land of all demons, demons are not allowed to enter, because the demons' intelligence is too low, which can easily cause the city's order to be disordered, so this is a common thing for the demon clan. In fact, the demon clan never recognizes that demons are members of the demon clan. Demons are just stupid beasts, and only these high-level creatures with wisdom can be called demon clans.
But for granted, there must be many frictions and disputes in such a city that has embraced humans and demons.
A tall demon clan youth with a tiger back and a bear waist shouted angrily: "Damn human! You hit me just now?"
"Who are you talking about? You don't have any eyes when you walk, and you dare to blame others for hitting you!" The scolded middle-aged man also looked unhappy.
When the young man from the demon clan heard this, his face turned into a pig's liver. At this moment, he rushed around, knocked down countless others, waved his fists and roared, "Damn it, you're going to die!"
Seeing that the young man from the demon race was about to hit someone, the middle-aged man sneered. In his opinion, this young man from the demon race was the strength of a demon, but he was a spirit-level powerhouse!
Seeing that the ignorant demon clan dared to attack him, the middle-aged man showed mockery on his face and his body posture was correct. He immediately planned to let the demon clan who violated his majesty come to the streets of death.
However, as the distance between the two people gradually approached, the fist of the demon young man was less than half a meter away from the middle-aged man. At this time, a black shadow suddenly penetrated into the two people. He easily grabbed the fist of the demon young man with one hand, and the other hand was pressed on the shoulders of the middle-aged man.
If you look closely, you will notice that after the middle-aged man's shoulder was slapped by that big hand, the soul power that the middle-aged man had originally condensed in his palm was instantly shaken away. The condensed soul power was originally intended to be used by him to kill the young man in front of him.
At this moment, both the young man of the demon clan or the middle-aged man in humans were shocked because the black shadow suddenly appeared was too fast, and they were completely unable to react. They were stopped by others.
Oh my god... This is at least a strong man of the king! He roared in his heart, and the middle-aged man's forehead was sweating constantly.
This black shadow is one of the 100,000 members temporarily drawn from the Netherworld Group. Since the garrison personnel were not in time to recruit on the first day of the city construction, Wang Cai asked Bahu to temporarily mobilize 100,000 people to maintain the order of the entire neutral city.
At this moment, the two who were arguing, the city guard said, "Those who disrupt the order in the city are considered to be a second-degree crime, and the first-time offender is detained for ten days. According to observation, I judge that you two have committed second-degree crimes. Please cooperate and go with me obediently."
"This, this... sir, you misunderstood. I did not disturb the order in the city. This is definitely a misunderstanding. sir, do you think it is..." The middle-aged man said, holding a gold coin in his hand and quietly stuffed it into the hands of the city guards.
"Trying to affair with law enforcement officers will be more guilty. With your sentence just now, you have to be closed for at least thirty days. Don't resist, let's go with me." The city guards slapped the middle-aged man's palm off, and spoke in a formal tone, without any room for negotiation.
Hearing that the middle-aged man in humans was stunned, and his face immediately collapsed. He tried almost every move in various cities. Who knew that he would end up like this today?
On the side, the young man from the demon clan wiped his cold sweat and quietly took the gold coins back into his pocket. He was almost slowing down his movements, otherwise he would be the one who was unlucky now. Thinking about it, the young man of the demon clan showed pleasure. He was imprisoned for at most seven days, but this idiot would be imprisoned for more than thirty days. When he thought about it, he felt relieved.
In the end, under the strong strength of the other party, the two of them had no room for resistance and were directly taken to the place where the prisoners were detained.
This scene in front of me continued to happen throughout the entire city of Neuli. According to rumors, the first day after Neuli City opened the city, more than a thousand people were besieged.
Among these more than a thousand people, as weak as Rong Yao apprentices, as strong as Emperor-level strong people, as small as the last families, as big as first-class families, all of them were ruthlessly locked up, regardless of their status.
This feat was still a topic of family members until decades later, and people talked about it after dinner.
With these lessons from the past, the hot atmosphere of JINLI City has calmed down a little.
They saw with their own eyes that one strong man was ruthlessly taken away, and even a powerful man at the imperial level wanted to escape, but was beaten by law enforcement officers and finally, they were obediently taken away. If they had known this, they would have been surrendered from the beginning.
Seeing these examples, naturally no one will cause trouble without opening their eyes. At the same time, some smart-headed people have begun to secretly guess which powerful force is behind the Zhongli City as their backer, and even the people from the big family dare to arrest them... The point is that the other party has not resisted yet. When they think of this, the forces behind the Zhongli City are a bit terrifying.
Of course, these small episodes naturally do not need Ye Ming to manage them. Some people have already anticipated these situations and taken precautions. Others have trouble solving all possible problems.
As for what Ye Ming needs to do, it is very simple. It is to go to the stage, make a casual speech, and walk through the scene to let everyone know that he is the city lord. After that, there is no future, it is that simple.
"Ahem... Thank you for all of you who came to Zhongli City for going far away and attending the ceremony. I am the city lord Ye Ming..." Standing on the temporarily set up high platform, Ye Ming slowly spoke the lines in his heart. This statement lasted for more than an hour. Even Ye Ming felt troublesome.
Ye Ming talked on the stage for a long time. At the bottom of the podium, the character was all at the giant level and the lowest level. It must be the peak family in a big city. For example, the Ye family is the first family in Yingxuecheng. This is still the lowest qualification. If you don’t reach this level, I’m sorry, you are not qualified to sit here.
Ye Ming spoke for most of the day. Although this was long and everyone felt bored when they heard it, no one dared to leave their seats casually.
Leave? Who dares to leave?
Look at what are the characters sitting in the front row? Luo Tian, the current king of the Ten Thousand Demons, Bai Yongkang, the current leader of the Dragon Clan, the leader of the Four Imperial Clans of the Demon Clan, and the emperor of the Four Great Human Empires... They are all people who can shock the Ten Thousand Demon Continent.
However, one of the noble and unattainable existences in the eyes of ordinary people, now they are like children, sitting obediently in their seats. Even they dare not leave without authorization. How dare the others?
Such a lineup is simply terrifying. In the eyes of a group of family forces, the city of Neuli has left a mysterious and powerful impression in their hearts.
Finally, after more than an hour, Ye Ming finally finished his words. As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ming simply left directly. Even he could not stand the speech for more than an hour.
Chapter completed!
