"Welcome Mr. Metatron, this is the watch city of the highest heaven."
In a gorgeous hall with a gold floor, white jade pillars, and crystal walls, Xuan Weizi and the others saw one of the heavenly kings in the Supreme Heaven. His appearance was like a bronze sculpture, with a metallic luster all over his body, and his eyes were burning.
The scorching white flame is like a super-large demon statue, holding a multi-edged hammer, and the wings on its back are also emitting blazing flames, which is impressive.
Unlike other heavenly beings, the life breath of this Bronze Lord is particularly condensed and complete, and it is incomparably consistent with the entire Supreme Heaven. It is the same as Lord Gale in the Twilight Court. By virtue of his connection with the native environment, he can exert his full strength.
.
But in front of Xuan Weizi today, even the king of the Heavenly Clan, who is like a prince, may not really have much advantage. In the end, the battlefield is dominated by the strong, and Xuan Weizi has a rough idea.
, it was very easy to gain preferential treatment and attention from this heavenly king.
"I heard that you were teleported from the main material plane?" The Lord of the Celestial Clan invited Xuan Weizi to sit down at a huge table.
However, the specifications of the tables and chairs all matched that of the super-large Heavenly Clan monarch. The other party seemed to be trying to test the situation.
The brush becomes larger, and the size is just right in proportion to the table and chairs.
"Yes, I heard before that only the souls of the dead can come to the Final Battlefield. I was really shocked."
, after a moment of induction, it turns out that it has the effect of protecting the soul and dispelling evil poisons. It is also a valuable alchemical potion on the main material plane.
"There are indeed not many living people who are directly teleported to the Final Battlefield." The Heavenly Clan Lord said: "Because to maintain oneself in this world requires a very strong will and body. The souls of the dead come to various realms of the Final Battlefield,
The process of reshaping the body will also change the imprint of the soul, and the living people from outside will be gradually affected by the Final Battlefield."
Xuan Weizi drank the wine in the cup, feeling the physical effects, and responded with a smile: "Even the breathing and eating in various realms of the final battlefield will gradually assimilate the alien living beings into
A member of the realm creatures, right?"
The Lord of the Heavenly Clan glanced at Xuan Weizi and the other three: "You three are not only strong in will, but you also have mature and stable laws of life operation, and have not been affected by the Supreme Heaven."
Lord Gale lowered his eyes and said: "That is to say, you can be so relaxed on the outside. I think even you don't dare to stay in the inner area of the Supreme Sky for a long time, right?"
A smile appeared on the bronze statue-like face of the Heavenly Lord: "The interior of the Supreme Heaven is the resting place of our Lord, where pure kindness and holiness are exuded all the time. Any sinful and corrupt thoughts in the soul will be eliminated.
The majesty of my lord burns up."
Xuan Weizi finally understood that the Supreme Heaven, or other realms of the Final Battlefield, were similar to the Twilight Palace. They all had extremely strong and significant plane characteristics, and were only suitable for the habitat of the native races, but they were absolutely not suitable for them.
It is not an ideal land where ordinary humans on the main material plane can settle down and live.
To put it nicely, certain qualities of these realms can make people addicted; to put it harshly, the air, water, and food in these realms have a chronic effect that can slowly dissolve the self-consciousness of ordinary people.
Disintegrate and eventually assimilate it with the plane.
From the perspective of the Twilight Royal Court alone, it was created by the Supreme Fairy headed by Queen Twilight. The rules and regulations of the plane inevitably contain the connotation and essence of the Supreme Fairy, and are the outward expansion of the Supreme Fairy's inner laws. Ordinary people
The body size is far from being comparable to that of the Supreme Goblin. As a result, it is difficult to even preserve oneself in the Twilight Court. If you allow yourself to indulge your desires in the Twilight Court, you may be squeezed into dregs by the goblins and eventually be dragged away.
Make flower fertilizer.
The various realms of the Final Battlefield are also similar. There are extremely pure and solid rules and regulations within the realm. The souls of the dead who come to this plane are distorted and the racial body is reshaped. Even the sense of racial belonging is "innate".
". Therefore, when the living come to the final battlefield, they have to face dangers everywhere just to gain a foothold.
If you want to avoid being assimilated by the environment of each realm, you must either linger in the transition zone between realms, but that is often a battlefield area; or you must have a strong enough soul and body to resist the changes in the outside world with your inner essence.
To be honest, if you don't have legendary level strength, your body or soul has undergone a complete transformation, and you can maintain the stability of your own essence, it is an extremely risky behavior to rush to the Final Battlefield, not to mention the extremely frequent wars and battles in this plane.
There was a fight.
As for the earthly immortals like Xuan Weizi, the immortal body and the cauldron form the heaven and the earth on their own, prepare their own laws, and transform the universe. Even the fine wine brewed in the supreme heaven can be tasted as sweet as sugar without changing the foundation of the Tao.
"This wine is really good. Can I have another glass?"
The seemingly beneficial effect is enough to penetrate the rules and regulations of the Supreme Heaven into the physical life activities, accelerating the assimilation process.
Xuan Weizi's expression did not change at all, and the Heavenly Clan's Great Lord also showed a hint of surprise. He waved his fingers lightly on the table, and a large wine pot floated over to Xuan Weizi to fill it up.
"By the way, I haven't asked you why you came to the Final Battlefield." The Lord of the Heavenly Clan asked.
Xuan Weizi pondered for a moment: "We came to the Final Battlefield to find a Druid. I wonder if the Great Lord knows which realm a Druid on the main material plane usually goes to after he dies?"
"Druids? Then they should be in the 'Ancient Forest', but I have only heard about it." The Heavenly Clan Lord said: "That area is mainly a dense virgin forest, and it is difficult for outsiders to come out after entering it.
.
They are constantly in conflict with that group of crazy and twisted deformed monsters, but the deformed monsters cannot communicate normally at all, and we don't know the situation in the 'Ancient Forest'. But Mr. Metatron really wants to know more information, I
I do have a good place to recommend.”
"where?"
"Zhizhi City is the only neutral city in the Final Battlefield." The Heavenly Clan Lord said: "Different realms and different races have set up liaison stations in Zhizhi City. It is also the main trading place in the Final Battlefield. I want to inquire.
For all kinds of intelligence information, it is most convenient to point to the city. There are even many travelers from the main material plane there."
"Oh? There is such a city?" Xuan Weizi was a little surprised.
"Mr. Metatron came from the main material plane, but he didn't arrive directly at Pointing City. I find it even more strange." The Lord of the Celestial Clan said: "There seems to be a group of human mages active there all year round, and they seem to be quite powerful.
It seems to be called...Ether Society?"
Hearing this, Xuan Weizi suddenly realized that the Ether Society, together with the Eye of Mystery and the Tower of Pentagram, were the three most powerful mage organizations in the Magic Council, but they had no scope or territory in the main material plane, which was surprising.
On what basis do they stand?
Now Xuan Weizi finally understands that this group of mages from the Ether Society probably made their fortune with the help of the Final Battlefield. Considering that the various resources in this plane are quite abundant, although most of them are concentrated in various realms, there is a city like Pointing City.
In neutral cities, there are ways to conduct commerce and trade.
"Then I don't know how to get to Zhizhi City?" Xuan Weizi asked.
"I can show you the way, but the road is not smooth right now... By the way, I want to remind you that in the final battlefield, teleportation across different realms is quite dangerous." The Lord of the Heavenly Clan said this,
He leaned back and said confidently:
"Furthermore, not everyone can enter Zhizhi City. It is a place where different realms and different races live together, and there are many people with evil thoughts. Fortunately, we, the Supreme Heaven, are respected by people there, and there is even a team
Independent security team, if Mr. Metatron wants to find out any information, our people can help."
Xuanweizi discovered that this great king of the heavenly clan, who was born in the supreme heaven, also had a wise and understanding side. He said these things just to get Xuanweizi and the three of them to help him.
"Your Majesty, please tell me directly, what do you need from us before you are willing to help?" Xuan Weizi asked.
The Lord of the Celestial Clan said simply: "The Supreme Heaven is about to launch a crusade against the Demonic Wasteland. I hope Mr. Metatron will assist me in containing the Demonic Army."
…
A merchant ship docked at the port of Changxia City. The staff on the dock held the registration book and randomly inspected the goods removed from the ship.
"This is the cargo list." The staff member heard a slightly seductive and magnetic female voice. He quickly looked up and saw a female mage standing in front of him. She was wearing a black mage robe, with faint silver stars twinkling and swimming on the surface.
The loose and supple mage's robe could not hide the tall and graceful figure of the female mage. The wide-brimmed wizard's hat covered most of the female mage's face, and the staff could only see the red lips and chin that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Little brother, what's wrong?" The female mage raised her hand to hold the brim of her hat. Although it was still difficult to see the whole picture, just hearing the sound made the staff member feel uneasy.
"Fah, Master Mage, is this your ship?" While the staff members were filled with excitement, they still did not forget their first priority and asked, pointing to the ships in the port.
The black-robed female mage held a beautifully carved crystal scepter in her hand and said with a smile: "Yes, I heard that ships coming to Changxia City have to pay port fees according to the size of the ship. I don't know how much they have to pay.
?”
The staff member's face flushed unnaturally: "If Master Master has a pass, you can be exempted from the port entry fee."
"Pass, is this it?" The black-robed female mage took out a small flat wooden box from her arms. Inside was a pass with a fire wax seal and a secret seal. The name of the ship owner - Mithra Nova - was clearly marked on it.
.
The staff knew that these mages did not like to reveal their complete lives, so they would use titles instead. After confirming, he reluctantly handed back the pass with the lingering fragrance: "Your Excellency Mithras, welcome to Changxia.
City. Where do you need your goods to be sent? I can arrange a manned carriage for you."
"No need, little brother, keep busy, I won't disturb you~" The female mage named Mithra held up the brim of her hat, and the staff looked dazed for a while, and continued their inspection work silently.
Behind the female mage, dozens of strong men loaded large and small boxes of goods onto several taxi carriages, and then went straight into Changxia City.
As one of the most developed and prosperous commercial cities on the southern coast of the empire, Changxia City is located at the mouth of the river and enjoys the convenience of both sea and inland shipping. After the Necromancer and before the founding of the empire, it was one of the few cities that had been restored.
and the fastest rebuilt towns.
In the early days of the establishment of the Great Londinium Empire, the commercial city-states headed by Changxia City had formed large-scale guild organizations and mercenary groups. Relying on the nearby rolling mountains and control of rivers, as well as access to the outer sea
With the help of shipping, these commercial city-states not only avoided being annexed by the empire, but also made bets between the empire and the Kingdom of Vanua, greatly slowing down the expansion of the empire.
But later, a man came to Changxia City and "gathered" the main managers of several coastal commercial city-states, asking them to stop supporting various countries and choose to submit to the Great Londinium Empire.
This person is the "Arcane Directory" Shadovan. He does not yell to kill like Mikosi. With just one word, he makes these commercial city-states become vassals of the empire. Of course, no one mentioned it again, and that conversation was over.
It happened on the cliff edge of Gaoxia outside the city.
However, the commercial city-states headed by Changxia City soon discovered that the expansion of the empire also brought them huge benefits, and their positions and attitudes changed rapidly. They indeed provided many conveniences for the subsequent development of the empire.
The prosperity of Changxia City is probably not inferior to that of Londinium City, and goods from different countries and regions can be found here. The city also has the largest magic items trading venue in the Old World, which is used by merchants and travelers from all walks of life.
, a metropolis where adventurers gather and disperse.
Since the fact that the Great Londinium Empire was basically divided into three parts, the status of Changxia City has become ambiguous. Led by speculators, political brokers, and guild representatives, they lobby and organize forces from all aspects, trying to make it
These coastal cities reverted to the independent city-states they once were.
But now the empire has no power to intervene again. Shadowan, who came forward to persuade the commercial city-state to surrender, is currently busy with the internal affairs of the Eye of Mystery. Moreover, the shrinkage of the Eye of Mystery has been noticed by many people who are interested. With the internal and external cooperation, now in the Changxia City
Several groups of mage associations and academies suddenly appeared, probably private forces that had been funded by the big chambers of commerce for a long time.
As for the spies placed by other forces throughout Changxia City, they are even more numerous.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce branch, the female mage Mitra stepped out of the carriage while shaking her crystal scepter. Looking at the shop that looked like a small castle, she said critically: "This house is not well built, it is loose and loose.
Forget it, you guys unload the goods, I’ll go in and sit down first.”
The female mage's swaying figure attracted the attention of many passers-by. She walked straight into the door of the Chamber of Commerce. Just as a clerk was about to come forward to greet her, she was stopped by Taylor who was standing beside her.
"Hey, isn't this little Tyro? We haven't seen each other for a long time since we parted ways in Fire Dance City, right?" Mithra said in an ambiguous tone, with a hint of teasing.
