The Nanlan River is the longest river in the eastern imperial boundary of the south of Yanfu Prefecture. It originates from Luohui Mountain in Zhongzhou. It passes through the deep dusk forests and winds through the Diancang Mountains. Finally, it gathers on the west bank of southern Yanfu Prefecture.
Entering the Aral Sea.
Most of the merchant fleets that travel to Southern Yanfuzhou do not like to pass through the Nanlan River.
The reason is that it walks too much in the Diancang Mountains, which is almost three times more than the Qunu River, which is nearly a straight line to the east.
However, due to the recent hostility of Qilin and Zhuniao tribes, many sections of Qununjiang were blocked by Qilin's checkpoints, which forced many merchant ships to detour the Nanlan River to transport goods.
Long Long and Longhu and the others were involved in the merchant ships heading to Zhongzhou, and at the same time, they inquired about the current situation in the Eastern Imperial Realm with the merchant ship sailors.
The Eastern Emperor Realm is a whole continent, separated into four states by two mountain ranges in a fork shape.
Among them, Canglong controls the East Prefecture, Zhuniao controls the South Prefecture, Baihu controls the West Prefecture, and Black Turtle controls the North Prefecture.
These four races can crush any other race, whether in terms of overall strength, quantity, or competition in high-level combat power, so they are called the "Four Emperors" - this nickname was given by Longlong because in the demon clan
There is no such thing as "emperor", they are still in the feudal system now.
From a feudal perspective, the four major states, east, west, south, north, are almost equivalent to four principalities, and are controlled by the four lords.
In each public, countless city-states are located in all sizes, and are ruled by small lords (that is, ordinary demon clans) below each major lord.
The demon clan ruled a large area of territory and then divided it into small clans to manage it layer by layer. The small clans had the obligation to pay tribute to the large clans and respond to the dispatch of troops, which was surprisingly similar to the European medieval period on Earth.
In addition to these four nobles, there is also the Qilin clan, which has lived in Taiyi Lake in the center of the mainland for generations.
Because it has obtained the support of the Canglong and the Black Turtle clan, and the verbal surrender of the White Tiger clan, the Qilin clan is known as the "King of All Races" and nominally commands all the demon clans in the Eastern Emperor Realm.
"So, what Longlong said about the 'Four Emperors' is actually not as good as the Qilin, right?" The little fox lying on the carpet in the cabin learned from it and analyzed.
"No." Long Long shook his head and said, "According to the description of the sailors on the ship, the Qilin clan is just a slightly larger demon clan."
"The so-called 'King of Ten Thousand Kings' is just a title that Canglong and Xuan Turtle fought against the Zhuniao clan in the south in order to push the Qilin to the front desk, and this is just a title that was specially woven."
"You mean, the Qilin needs the title of "King of Ten Thousand Kings" to ensure that it draws benefits from the entire Eastern Emperor Realm." Longhu's little head also turned quickly, "and Canglong and Xuan Turtle need someone to do it for them.
Stand in front and endure the attacks of the Zhuniao clan.”
"That's right." Long Long snapped his fingers, "I guess there must be a very awesome immortal boss within the Qilin clan."
"Cooperation must be based on equal strength. Since the Qilin clan as a whole is not as good as the four major clans, it must have an advantage in high-end combat power, so that we can maintain the title of "King of Ten Thousand Kings".
A thoughtful expression appeared on Longhu's little face, and he suddenly asked:
"Does Longlong have a status that must be based on strength?"
"Of course." Long Long said.
"Why?" Longhu asked.
"Because the world is big, there are all kinds of creatures." Longlong explained in a tempting manner, "With different creatures, there will be differences and conflicts."
"How to resolve conflicts and differences when encountering conflicts? Some hope to speak according to rules, and some hope to deal with morality. But there are certainly some creatures who do not want to abide by rules or be bound by morality... They do not want to speak at all.
Any reason is to use violence to clear away all disobedient people.”
"The only thing that can solve them is stronger violence... Whether they agree or not, as long as they kill them all, there will be no conflict."
"So, no matter the rules, morals, or anything else, they all have their limitations."
"Only strength can solve all problems-or, or more accurately, the maker who can solve all problems. Strength is absolutely omnipotent."
"So that's it." Longhu nodded seriously, "Then as long as I have enough strength, I can bully you in the opposite direction, right? Longlong?"
"That's right." Long Long said seriously, "As long as you have stronger strength, you can just ask me to kneel down and call your mother or grandma."
As he said that, he suddenly pulled the little fox into his arms and began to stroke its tail.
"But now I'm stronger, so I can bully you... Call me 'good brother'!"
"Don't shout!" The little fox was shaking all over by him, and he was still stubborn, "Go to die!"
But her tail feels so good to touch, it is fluffy, soft, and very large, so she can bury her face in and suck it in various ways.
Longlong had to help her comb her hair every day, but of course, because she didn't have a comb on her hand, she could only use her fingers to replace it.
"You call 'Good brother, please spare me,' and I will let you go." Long Long smiled.
"No, no, no!" The little fox's eyes narrowed (I don't know if it's comfortable or painful), and his four little claws spread out weakly, revealing the pink and tender palms inside, but he cried and cried, "
Are you worthy of my mother if you bully me like this?"
"Your mother told you to listen to me, not to make you talk back to me!" Long Long put his hand on the root of her tail and threatened, "If you don't obey, I will pull your tail off!
”
"Woo!" The little fox was obviously scared.
Because Long Long recently lied to her that he had a secret technique to remove the fox's tail and leave only his bare butt.
"Good brother, please spare me!" she shouted reluctantly.
"Hahahaha!" Long Long laughed. He was not careful and was broken free from the restraint by the dragon fox, jumped to his shoulders, his tail was covered with face, and then jumped onto the wooden box next to him and disappeared behind the pile of goods.
.
"What's the noise?" The door of the cargo hold was suddenly opened, and a face with antlers poked out from the crack of the door and shouted, "Longlong, come out to work!"
"Okay!" Long Long immediately stood up.
This deer-annap man is the owner of this merchant ship, called "Giant Horn".
Although he looks a little strange, he is a real True Lord who has formed a demon pill.
Longlong used the conditions of helping with his work on a merchant ship to exchange for the other party to let him and Longhu take a boat north.
He left the dark cargo hold, came to the deck, and began to work with the sailors.
Most of the sailors are low-level monsters, with similar wisdom to human children. They do physical work such as carrying heavy objects on the bed, starting and dropping anchors, and they don't even know how to helm, so that the owner of the giant horn has to do it himself.
Now that Longlong is available, you can at least take the helm in shifts and save a lot of energy from the huge corners.
Longlong climbed onto the helm platform and asked casually:
"Ship owner, how long does it take to get to the nearest city?"
"It's twelve miles away from Pulich City." Jujiao sat down on the side of the ship next to him, took out the wine gourd and started drinking.
"Plic City?" Long Long pressed the steering wheel and said strangely.
"That's the bird's language, which means 'South Wind City'." Jujiao replied, "The birds always chirp, and there are many toilets in the city. You will know when you go."
