Compared to the northern end of the Star Dou Forest, the south of the Star Dou Forest already belongs to the south of the continent. Not only have the various plant species undergone significant changes, but the climate has also become much warmer.
Two figures walked out of the dense Star Dou Forest, a man and a woman. It was Zhao Xuan and Hermione who came from the core of the Star Dou Forest.
"The sunshine is so dazzling."
The moment they left the forest, dazzling sunlight fell from the blue sky. There was no sky in the Starry Forest. Hermione, who had not seen sunlight for a long time, felt a little uncomfortable.
With her white jade hands covering her forehead, the girl couldn't help but frown, her long golden hair shining brightly in the sun.
Zhao Xuan glanced at the girl and then looked forward. The dense mist in the early morning had not dissipated yet, and there was still a thin mist shrouding it. The mist condensed, forming crystal dewdrops on the green leaves of the plants.
The mountains in the distance are looming in the clouds and mist, making it difficult to see their true appearance.
"Where do we go next?"
After getting used to it, Hermione asked Zhao Xuan beside her. There was a look of confusion in her big brown eyes. The two people who came from Tiandou knew very little about the Star Luo Empire.
"Let's take a walk first, and then ask for news after we encounter the city."
Zhao Xuan thought for a moment and then turned to the girl and said.
"good!"
…
Zhao Xuan didn't know as much about the Star Luo Empire as Hermione did, but as long as he found a village or a city, it wasn't difficult to get to Star Luo City.
There were thick vegetation all around and there were no roads in sight. The two concluded that few people came here, so Zhao Xuan took Hermione and crossed over directly from the sky.
His speed was not very fast. The two of them looked around at the scenery that was completely different from the Tiandou Empire and were familiar with the environment of the Star Luo Empire.
After flying for about half an hour, Zhao Xuan and Hermione landed on a somewhat deserted path and started walking slowly along the path.
The climate in the Star Luo Empire is warm and humid, very similar to the southern region of Zhao Xuan's previous life. Everywhere you see is green, which is different from the distinct four seasons in the north.
Walking along the path, the two of them gradually encountered human figures, and the road became wider and wider. After the two of them walked for two hours, a majestic city appeared in front of them.
"Hansha City."
After whispering the name on the city gate, Zhao Xuan glanced in all directions, then rubbed his chin and murmured: "The atmosphere in this Xingluo is indeed a little different from that in Tiandou."
"Well, that's right."
Hermione also looked around curiously. The people in the Star Luo Empire seemed to be stronger than the people in the Tiandou Empire, and the atmosphere was heavier. There was a sense of vigor and resoluteness in their actions.
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but nod. Dai Mubai was right. With the folk customs of the Star Luo Empire, even ordinary people would be good warriors if they were trained to follow orders and bans, and march and fight much better than Tiandou.
"Let's go in. We'll first find out where Xingluo's imperial city is. I don't know what's going on with Mubai and the others now. Based on his current achievements, I'm afraid Davis is no longer his opponent."
"Well...if Mubai becomes the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, wouldn't Zhuqing become the crown prince?!"
Hermione suddenly thought in surprise, and then became speechless.
Three good sisters, one is the young sect leader of the Qibao Glazed Sect, one is the soul beast overlord of the Star Dou Forest, and the other is the crown princess of the Star Luo Empire. Together, they can't even bring their own academy family to the forefront.
"Let's go, don't think blindly." Zhao Xuan looked at Hermione's expression and shook his head helplessly.
Apart from their folk customs, there were not many differences between the Star Luo Empire and the Tian Dou Empire. After staying at a hotel in the city and buying a map, the two of them discovered that they were far away from Xing Luo City, the imperial city of the Star Luo Empire.
There is still a distance of more than a thousand kilometers.
After the two of them booked a luxury carriage at the car dealership, they stayed in the hotel for one night and prepared to set off for Star Luo City the next day.
The next day.
Zhao Xuan and Hermione came to the car dealership. The boss standing behind the counter saw the two of them, with a hint of joy and anxiety on his brows, and then hurriedly walked towards them.
For some reason, Zhao Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Two guests, I'm really sorry. The carriage you booked yesterday may not be able to leave today. I will return your deposit to you at double the price. If you are in any emergency, you can choose another vehicle."
The owner of the car dealership said to the two of them apologetically, and his expression looked sincere.
However, the scheduled carriage could not be delivered for no reason, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Zhao Xuan couldn't help frowning and asked: "Boss, what happened? Is your car dealer's reputation like this?"
The boss said helplessly after hearing this: "Sir, I don't want to do this kind of thing. After you left yesterday, the City Lord's Palace found me and booked a luxury carriage. He said that he was going to the Imperial City to participate in the Hundred Cities League. It was a very important matter. I
There is only one carriage like this in the carriage shop, so I don’t dare to offend the City Lord’s Mansion.”
After finishing speaking, the owner of the car dealer gritted his teeth and said: "If the customer is not satisfied, I can pay three times the deposit."
Zhao Xuan didn't take it seriously, but he became interested in the Hundred Cities Alliance mentioned by the car dealer's boss. His eyes lit up and he asked with interest: "Boss, what is this Hundred Cities Alliance you are talking about?"
What?"
The owner of the car dealership looked at the two of them strangely when he heard this, with a suspicious look on his face.
However, Zhao Xuan and Hermione were very indifferent. Although the Star Luo Empire and the Tian Dou Empire were militarily hostile, civil exchanges were not prohibited.
The owner of the car dealership did suspect that Zhao Xuan and the two were not from the Star Luo Empire, but he was surprised that Hansha City was not a border town between the two countries. How could these two people not know about the Hundred Cities Alliance along the way?
No matter how hard he tried, he would never have thought that the two of them came across the entire Star Dou Forest.
Although it was strange, the owner of the car dealership still explained: "Aren't the two guests from Star Luo? This Hundred Cities Alliance is a gathering held every three years in our Star Luo Empire. In our Star Luo Empire, every city has
It can be said to be a force. In the city-state era long ago, there were constant disputes between cities. It was not until the rise of the royal family, the Dai family, that this dispute ended."
"However, some of the systems from that time have still survived. Each city-state in the Star Luo Empire can be regarded as a prince, and the royal family is their co-lord, commanding all city-states."
"Not long after, it was the time when the Triennial League of Hundred Cities was held. It was said to be the Hundred Cities League, but in fact there were more than a hundred cities, as many as three or four hundred."
"And the theme of this Hundred Cities Alliance is said to be related to the decision of the Imperial Crown Prince!"
After the car dealership boss finished speaking, Zhao Xuan and Hermione's eyes both lit up.
