When the sky was still dark, the floating ship inlaid with gold rims had already left the capital Alsa.
"The royal family will set off in about an hour, and all waterways will be blocked by then, for at least three or four hours, so we can only set off early."
Kai Keqi pointed to the floating yachts in the sky that set off at the same time: "These people probably have the same plan."
"Um!"
Ding Xiaoyi hummed and ignored it, immersed himself in studying the map in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh at the vastness of the land of the Yi people.
Broader than both leagues.
What's even more frightening is that with such a vast territory, the successfully developed area occupies 48% of the entire empire.
You must know that the alliance is currently vigorously developing those wilderness areas, but he estimates that the entire 25th area of the alliance, the area that has been reasonably developed, cannot even compare to one-third of the Yi people.
Fortunately, the territory of the Yi people is so large that they cannot fully develop it themselves, and many places are uninhabited. This has also resulted in the Yi people never having the desire to go out to fight.
Otherwise, just based on the alliance at this moment, if there was a real fight, they would probably be pinned to the ground and rubbed in minutes.
Perhaps this is the benefit of centralization.
Over the years, the alliance has wasted too much time because of the family's control over the union and its monopoly development.
"Drink some water. I sent these messages to the union a long time ago."
Wang Qi put the water cup in his hand and sat in front of him. The reborn Wang Qi lost his childishness and playfulness as a girl and became mature and steady.
The dawn in the distant sky fell on her back, making her glow like a goddess walking out of the glow.
She took the map and said:
"This map is from the old almanac ten years ago. Now the entire eastern region of the empire has become the largest planting farm in the empire. Because of the driving tower, a Yi person can easily manage thousands of acres of land."
Speaking of this, Wang Qi couldn't help but sigh. When he was in the alliance, he was really a frog in the well.
After arriving at the Yi Nationality, I discovered that the development of the Yi Nationality far surpassed that of the Alliance and was completely a development across the ages.
In the past ten years, she has witnessed the first driving tower being erected, taking the entire Yi people into a higher era.
Nowadays, there are more than tens of thousands of driving towers. Wherever there are Yi people, there are driving towers.
"Look at the Yi people now. Do you think the alliance will have a chance to catch up if there is a war between the two?" Her eyes were clear, like a mirror reflecting Ding Xiaoyi's figure.
Hearing this, Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but fell into deep silence for a long time.
But after a moment, he raised his head and said with firm eyes: "Yes, it will definitely happen, and it will definitely not be too far away."
"You are so confident!" Wang Qi frowned.
"right!"
Ding Xiaoyi looked calm, and there was an extraordinary confidence in his eyes. He had strong confidence in the place where he was born and raised.
Everything is created from scratch. He believes in the alliance, there is no doubt about it.
Headed by the last Grand Consul, the Wang family’s old lady, Aunt Zhang, Jiu Ye and so many other unknown seniors worked hard to be cast aside by the entire family and bear bloody charges. At the cost of their lives, they pulled the alliance out of the abyss of family governance.
came out and pushed the entire alliance into a new era.
How much did they pay? No one can tell. The contribution of the old man of the Wang family is immeasurable.
In contrast, the new alliance has no family constraints, no old-fashioned monopoly, and everything is open to development.
If I don't even have this kind of self-confidence, I really don't know how to face these seniors.
Therefore, although the strength of the Yi people scares me, it does not make me afraid.
It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.
"You have changed!" Wang Qi looked at him and could no longer see the shadow of the boy he once was in the figure in front of him.
Ding Xiaoyi smiled calmly and said: "You have changed too."
Wang Qi nodded noncommittally: "Sometimes I look in the mirror and say the same thing."
After the two of them finished speaking, they fell into silence again.
I don’t know what to say, or in other words, I don’t need to say anything more.
They are no longer the same person as they were in the impression that they were each other, and it would hurt their feelings to talk about it anymore.
"In another hour, we can get there." Kekeqi came over at the right time, breaking the silence.
He took out the unripe magical fruit from his arms and said, "I believe this magical fruit will be sold for a good price."
At this point, Kai Keqi actually pushed the magic fruit towards Ding Xiaoyi.
"What do you mean?" Ding Xiaoyi asked.
“The rules of ancient blind boxes are completely different from those of ordinary blind boxes, because each ancient blind box is unique and no one knows what’s inside.
Therefore, each blind box can only be purchased at a large cost. You can choose to take it away, or you can choose to open it on the spot to gain ranking.
It is calculated based on the ten points of a blind box, plus the value of the items in the blind box. The higher the points, the higher the reward.
Since we are a 37-cent account, the things in the blind box belong to you, and the reward for the points ranking belongs to me. How about using this fruit as your start-up capital, you won’t lose anything."
Ding Xiaoyi did not refuse Kai Keqi's proposal and decisively accepted the fruit. At the same time, he asked curiously: "You think so highly of me?"
"Of course, you don't doubt the people you employ. If I doubt you, I won't be in the same boat with you."
When Ding Xiaoyi heard this, he glanced around. Sure enough, all the guards from the day before yesterday, except the leader, had disappeared.
I have to say that this guy Kai Keqi not only has strong ambitions, he is also bold enough.
Perhaps it is for this reason that he can step by step get rid of the shackles of the alliance and become a person who can control his own destiny.
"who is he!"
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the man in black robe standing not far away and asked Kai Keqi.
This guy is very strong, but when the divine fruit appeared the day before yesterday, only Kai Keqi, with his back turned, stood like a mountain in front of everyone.
He was very curious as to how a master with such powerful strength could be so determined to become Kai Keqi's guard.
"Todd Kemp."
Kai Keqi sat on a chair and introduced: "He was once the marshal of the empire, and he controlled the empire's heavy firepower group. Only two-thirds of pure-blooded guys can achieve this status. It is a miracle to describe it."
It’s too much.”
"But it's a pity that his son was killed. In order to take revenge, he violated the laws of the empire. From then on, he could only be a slave of the empire. I spent a huge price to settle his troubles."
Kai Keqi said it very easily, but only those who knew the inside story would know that Kai Keqi gave up the viscount status he finally obtained in order to save him.
He is a viscount noble with a highly pure bloodline. He can rely on this status to live better and more comfortably than he is now.
After paying such a price in exchange for a loyal guard, it is difficult to say that this transaction is really a profit or loss.
However, judging from the performance the day before yesterday, Kai Keqi felt that he had made a profit from this transaction.
About two hours later, they finally arrived at the metropolis of Guos.
The reason why it took two hours was because too many people came.
As a result, the waterways were congested, and the sky was so densely packed with floating ships that it was almost overwhelming to describe it as covering the sky.
During this time, Ding Xiaoyi also saw many strange fallen spirit masters.
Although the Yi people are still very tolerant towards fallen spirits, their strange body shapes make it difficult for them to truly integrate into the Yi people.
Unless, like Wang Qi, he truly breaks through himself and completely integrates the mutated and polluted parts of his body, he can have the same appearance as a normal person.
Therefore, in the past, these fallen spirit masters rarely appeared in front of people. It was not until now that these fallen spirit masters came to Guos metropolis one after another.
Ancient Oss City, this desolate ancient city, was once a mysterious monument.
Even though it has been completely excavated by people, this ancient monument still maintains a mysterious power.
As soon as Ding Xiaoyi stepped into the ancient city, he immediately realized that most of his power had been suppressed.
Looking back at Kai Keqi, he explained calmly: "Once you enter the ancient city, it will be like this. Unless you are a god, no one will be exempted. Most people will be suppressed to the level of evil spirits."
"Evil spirit level?"
He was moved in his heart, because his strength was only suppressed by half, but it was not as exaggerated as Kai Keqi said.
It seems that what Kai Keqi said is not absolute. At least for himself, although his strength is suppressed by half, his image is not as big as imagined.
"Go in, if you don't hurry up, I guess the royal family will arrive soon. By then, we will all have to make way for the royal family, and a lot of time will be wasted."
The traffic jam along the way had already made Kai Keqi very irritable, and now he started to urge him.
He took out a golden post and handed it to the guard for inspection. Only those who hold the golden door post can truly enter this ancient city of ruins.
Many people outside actually don't have this shiny door sticker, and they come here just to join in the fun.
After the guards checked to make sure there were no errors, they allowed Kai Keqi and his party to enter the city.
The ancient city is full of towering ancient trees, which cast a large amount of shade. Among the ruins, there is a feeling of returning to nature.
In the vast world of mortals, this place seems to be a pure land, with ancient trees and ancient stone pillars shining with pale golden light in the sun, making it look extremely sacred.
The street was very wide, hidden among the vegetation. As soon as he came closer, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked up. He unexpectedly met an acquaintance here.
This man was wearing a loose black robe, his long hair was neatly tied up, and he had a long and shiny black beard on his face.
If it weren't for my photographic memory, I might not have been able to recognize him at first glance. The middle-aged man in front of me, who seemed to have extraordinary talent, was actually a former student of his own rival at Beimang College, the Imperial College.
