The Breaking Waves continued to move forward, and finally stopped at the port of Daowang Island an hour later.
"Everyone, we will stay at Daowang Island for one day and set off again tomorrow morning. You can take a look around, but remember not to be late. We will not wait if you are late." Zheng Qiang smiled at everyone on the boat.
"Shaoxia Lin, this is Sword King Island. Our Nie family is located in the center of the east city of Sword King Island. I believe the patriarch and the others will be very happy to see Shaoxia." Nie Fu and Nie Lang warmly invited Lin Xiao.
"Let's go." Lin Xiao did not refuse, and the group walked out of the port and walked towards the city gate not far away.
The city on the Sword King Island is called Sword City. It covers an area that is not too large and is much smaller than the New Acropolis. However, the number of warriors entering the city is extremely large. They are lined up in two rows next to it.
There is an empty passage between the two rows of teams.
"Everyone needs to pay five hundred taels to enter the Sword City. Please line up in two rows and don't jump in line at will. Warriors who have reached the late stage of Mortal Realm can walk through the middle passage. The entrance fee is also five hundred taels."
Seeing many warriors coming, several warriors guarding the city gate immediately shouted loudly.
"Let's go from the middle."
Nie Fu led Nie Lang and Lin Xiao into this passage.
"It turns out to be General Manager Nie Fu and Young Master Nie Lang. Please come in quickly." After seeing Nie Fu, several warriors guarding the city gate immediately came forward to greet him respectfully.
"This is a guest of our Nie family." Nie Fu introduced Lin Xiao to several warriors.
"Yes, yes, welcome young hero to Sword City." Several warriors greeted Lin Xiao with a smile, and Lin Xiao smiled back.
"He's from the Nie family."
"One of the two major families in Sword City, Sword King Valley is jointly managed by the Nie family and the Jiang family."
"It's really dark. It costs ten thousand taels a day to enter the outermost part of the Sword King Valley, one hundred thousand taels a day to enter the inner circle, and one million taels a day to get to the deepest part of the Sword Abyss, all for the Nie family and the Jiang family.
Earned it."
"Shh, keep your voice down. If you offend someone from the Nie family, be careful that you won't be able to move even an inch in Dao City."
When Lin Xiao followed Nie Fu into Sword City, his keen mental power also heard the comments of many people around him.
Although the Sword City was not big, after entering it, Lin Xiao discovered that the number of warriors in the city was extremely large, and most of the warriors were swordsmen. Walking on the streets, all the people coming and going were warriors with swords hanging on their waists.
There are different types from true warriors to warriors in the Mortal Realm, but the most common ones are in the early and middle stages of the Mortal Realm.
jingle jingle
The sound of banging gold and iron came. There were many weapon shops on both sides. Lin Xiao took a casual look and found that at least 80% of the weapons inside were various swords, and the remaining 20% were other weapons.
The proportions of various weapons are simply terrifying.
"Cultivation in Sword King Island is of great benefit to swordsmen. Most of all the warriors who come in are swordsmen, and the various businesses in the city mainly serve swordsmen." Nie Fu explained.
Lin Xiao nodded. Swordsmen are definitely the largest group of warriors. After entering the city of swords, Lin Xiao could clearly feel that it was enveloped by a faint aura. This aura made Lin Xiao, a swordsman,
Extremely comfortable and refreshed.
Not long after, Lin Xiao, led by Nie Fu, came to an extremely magnificent building in the east city.
"Master, steward, you are back." Seeing Nie Fu and his group, the guard at the door immediately shouted in surprise and led Lin Xiao and the others into the mansion.
The head of the Nie family, Nie Xiong, was a bearded, extremely generous middle-aged man. His strength had reached the peak of the late Mortal Realm. After hearing the news that Lin Xiao had rescued Nie Lang, he became extremely enthusiastic and held a feast.
"Brother Lin, let's take you to the Sword King Valley." After lunch, Nie Lang and Nie Fu enthusiastically invited Lin Xiao to go to the Sword King Valley.
Daowang Valley is located on the east side of Daowang Island. It is surrounded by dangerous mountains and ravines. In the middle is a huge canyon, shaped like a big trumpet. The mouth of the trumpet is pointed at Daocheng. It is the closest to Daoyuan on Daowang Island.
The place is only tens of miles away from Daoyuan.
At the entrance of the Sword King Valley, groups of warriors wearing armor were guarding there.
"All warriors who enter the Sword King Valley come here to buy tokens. The outer area is ten thousand taels per day, the inner area is one hundred thousand taels per day, and the deepest part is one million taels per day."
There are warriors shouting there, charging money, and organizing the warriors who enter. Most of these warriors who come to the Sword King Valley are in the early and middle stages of the Mortal Transformation Realm. Occasionally, there are true warriors and strong ones in the late stage of the Mortal Transformation Realm. But regardless of whether they are
No matter what level you are at, you must buy a token before you can enter.
"Brother Lin, let's go this way." Nie Lang led Lin Xiao to the door.
"Give us three peripheral tokens." Nie Fu took out 30,000 taels of silver.
"It turns out to be General Manager Nie Fu and Young Master Nie Lang." The guard guarding the door took the banknote with great respect, and at the same time handed over three tokens to make way for a passage.
Lin Xiao and the other three walked into the valley.
"Buzz"
Suddenly, an invisible sword intent spread out, and the sharp sword energy enveloped Lin Xiao's body, making his face slightly pale. However, because of his previous experience on the Breaking Waves, Lin Xiao was not too shocked this time.
Moreover, the sword intent in the Sword King Valley is gentler than that on the Wave Breaker.
"It's amazing."
Lin Xiao secretly marveled that Dao Yuan's sword intent spread out to the outside world all the time. You could feel it even if you were close to the ship, but on Dao Wang Island, which was very close to Dao Yuan, you could hardly feel the sharp sword intent.
existence, and as soon as he entered the Sword King Valley, the sword intent suddenly appeared again, apparently for some special reason, which made Lin Xiao amazed.
At a glance, there are warriors everywhere in the valley. They sit cross-legged on the outside of the valley, with a certain distance between them, and each one is sensing the aura of sword intent in the valley.
"By the way, wasn't the guard just now a disciple of your Nie family? Why do you have to spend money to come in?" Lin Xiao asked doubtfully. Just now, on the guard armor guarding the door, Lin Xiao saw the emblem of the Nie family, and also
I heard that the Nie family was one of the two major families that controlled Sword King Island, so I was confused.
"Young Master Lin, you don't know something. Although our Nie family is one of the two major families on Sword King Island, the so-called manager is just an agent. Therefore, we Nie family disciples must purchase tokens to enter Sword King Valley, but when we get there, we will be there.
It is a dedicated training place for the two major families. As long as the number of people does not exceed the prescribed range, there is no need to spend extra money."
Nie Fu explained with a smile.
"Agent?" Lin Xiao was confused.
"Yes." Nie Fu said with a smile: "Young Master Lin, look, there are hundreds of warriors practicing outside the Sword King Valley every day. Most of them are warriors from various islands in the Daolang River, and some of them are
They come from Xuanyi County, Anding County and many other cities within the empire's counties, where the income is millions of taels a day."
"And in the inner circle, there are about two hundred warriors practicing every day, and here there are twenty million taels a day."
"As for the deepest part, there are more than 20 warriors practicing every day, and there are more than 20 million taels a day here.
"Total together, the entire Sword King Valley can earn nearly 50 million taels a day, which is more than 10 billion a year. Our Nie family and Jiang family are just small families. Even the strong ones in the Guiyuan realm
No, how is it possible to have such a huge income? In fact, only 10% of this income belongs to our two families. This 10% also includes the management fees of Daocheng and Daowang Valley. The remaining 90% needs to be turned over to Xuanyi County.
, in the hands of Daolangjiang and other nearby major forces."
"That's it." Lin Xiao nodded. Indeed, even the Guiyuan realm warriors would be tempted by such a huge profit. The Nie family and the Jiang family didn't even have a Guiyuan realm warrior. If they wanted to monopolize this Sword King Island,
Profits may have been uprooted long ago.
However, the profit of 10% of the two families is still over one billion taels. Excluding the management expenses of Daocheng, if divided equally, each of the Nie family and Jiang family can get hundreds of millions of taels, and every year, this is still not a small amount.
They are much richer than the three major families in Dayan City. With the strength of the Nie family and the Jiang family, it seems that they cannot hold on to this profit.
Seemingly understanding the doubts in Lin Xiao's heart, Nie Fu said with a smile: "On the day of destruction more than two thousand years ago, our Nie family and Jiang family were the native families on the Sword King Island. If it weren't for the efforts of our ancestors,
After resisting the beast tide and fighting bloody battles, I'm afraid this Sword King Island has already fallen, so our two families can become the managers of this Sword King Island."
Lin Xiao nodded secretly in his heart. "So that's it."
During the explanation, Nie Fu led Lin Xiao to the inner perimeter of the valley.
The entrance in the valley was still guarded by the guards of the two major families. After seeing Nie Fu and Nie Lang, the guards of the Nie family immediately moved forward to greet them.
"Haha, you go about your business, let's go in and take a look." Nie Fu nodded with a smile, and the Nie family's guards immediately opened the passage to let them through.
"Who are you? You just want to enter without paying." Just when Lin Xiao was about to go there together, several guards suddenly stopped Lin Xiao and stared at Lin Xiao coldly.
These guards obviously came from another family, and the family emblems on their bodies were completely different from those of the Nie family.
Nie Fu's face darkened: "This is a guest of our Nie family. Why, do you, the Jiang family, want to break the rules?"
"Oh, so he is a guest of your Nie family?" The warrior who looked like a captain among the other family guards glanced at Lin Xiao and said slowly: "Manager Nie Fu, you didn't tell me earlier, I thought it was...
What kind of outsider wants to come in without paying a fee? Since he is a guest of your Nie family, it will be fine."
Several guards immediately stepped aside, and the captain-like warrior said in a sinister tone: "By the way, Manager Nie Fu, there are currently nine people in your Nie family in the inner area. At most, you can only enter one more."
There is a fee for ten."
Lin Xiao glanced at the other party indifferently and walked into the inner area without saying anything.
