In fact, Li Yi didn't pay much attention to this lengthy story at first.
It wasn't until he got a general idea and learned about the special relationship between alien creatures like Lightning Sights and humans that he thought of something.
After asking a few questions, I finally found out who the person in the lightning sight's mouth he met for the first time a hundred years ago was.
Although nearly a hundred years have passed, for the Lightning Sight clan, there is no concept of time at all, so for them, anything they have experienced before seems like it happened yesterday.
In other words, he can clearly remember some details that would be forgotten over time.
At least for the first time, Li Yi didn't feel the difference in time at all, as if it happened yesterday.
"That was the first time I encountered humans. To be honest, humans are much more cunning than any race I have encountered. Don't get me wrong. In our clan, cunning is a compliment. "
"Lightning Sight" continued.
"I once heard from my companion that humans are such strange creatures. To simply translate his words, humans seem to be useless!"
"I had never seen a human being at that time. I was curious, and my companions had told me about the concept that human beings are weak. Therefore, even if I saw that person walking towards me, I didn't act like one. Instead of just walking away like before, I just stared at him."
"Because of curiosity!"
Hearing this, Li Yi spoke unconsciously, almost in unison with Lightning Sight.
"Ha! It's funny for you, you actually guessed what I was going to say."
Li Yi smiled and said nothing.
It can only be said that you are too naive. Can I say that your one hundred years of life have been in vain? Oh, no concept of time.
"That person didn't seem to be afraid of me at all. Out of curiosity, I flew over, while he was walking on the ground. It's strange that humans can only move close to the ground."
Li Yixin said, you are probably the weird one. All creatures with some "something" will be affected by gravity, with exceptions like you.
"I heard from my companions that humans are afraid of us, because according to humans, we usually show different forms when we appear. Some are normal, but some will surprise humans and cause fear, but that is not What we can control is determined by the properties of the goods.”
"I was still a novice at that time. Newbie, you know? It was my first time here. It took me a lot of effort just to learn how to travel between the two places. This resulted in me having nothing to do even though I had already come here. I was in the mood to make a delivery, so I started wandering around, and it was during this situation that I met my first human friend.”
Having said this, the alien creature calling itself Lightning Cat showed a human smile.
To be honest, a black cat with such a smile on its face can easily make people shudder.
Fortunately, Li Yi was already immune. What he was more concerned about was the identity of that person.
Lightning Meow did not delay and quickly gave the answer.
"He asked me what my name was, but I couldn't answer. By the way, it was the common sense of human beings he taught me. He said that no matter what, there must be a name as a code name. I said I didn't have one, so he gave me one, and then I just asked his name."
After a pause, Lightning Cat said a name.
"He said his name is Qiu Jian."
…
"Okay, since you haven't been able to reach an agreement for a long time, you'd better listen to me."
In the small courtyard on the other side, among the five people present, the youngest one finally couldn't help but speak.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the other four people all turned their attention to him.
It seemed surprising at first.
But this unexpected look of surprise quickly disappeared.
All because before that, the four of them were discussing it, and Qiu Siyuan didn't say a word.
Just when they were arguing over their own plans, the actual talker finally spoke.
Not just saying a word.
The four of them could also feel that this young descendant of the Qiu family still had some bloodline power inherited from his ancestors.
This is what they value most.
It was precisely because of Qiu Siyuan's speech that the originally noisy courtyard instantly returned to calm.
"I have seen the deeds of my ancestors more than once, and I believe you have seen many of them too."
"But... maybe there are some deeds that you don't know."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the four families lit up at the same time.
They had indeed browsed the life notes of the man named Qiu Jian, the first city lord of Yuanxing and Qiu Siyuan's ancestor, countless times.
This one is truly a legend.
Even Yue Wushuang, who founded Shale City now, also built Shale City on his own, and he highly respected this predecessor from a century ago.
All because this person's experience is so legendary.
In his early years, Qiu Jian was just a refugee who fled to the North District with his parents, living a life of hunger and wandering.
And when he was young, he didn't show any extraordinary talents, and he was no different from ordinary refugees.
It's not difficult to understand if you imagine it.
After all, the North District at that time was a well-known no-man's land. If they were not forced to flee, no one would set foot in such a place.
It is inaccessible, and the temperature is below zero for at least eight months of the year. The frozen soil formed by the perennial low temperature is simply not suitable for growing any crops that can keep people alive.
I can't even settle down here, let alone put down roots here.
That is simply a fantasy.
Even if someone is forced to flee here, they will only stay for a month or two at most, and then they will find a way to leave. Whether they go to the West District, the East District, or return to the South District, it will be better than staying here. It's better to wait for death in the shitty North District.
Qiu Jian's parents thought the same way back then.
And the young Qiu Jian didn't like this place either.
Without him, apart from not having enough food to eat, this place is really desolate and there is not much to do.
Therefore, Qiu Jian is actually the one who is most looking forward to leaving this hellish place. He counts the days on his fingers every day, thinking of returning to the Southern District to live a better life.
At worst, go to another district instead of staying here.
He himself would not have thought that the boy who had no idea about the North District would completely change his mind after an unexpected encounter.
From then on, Qiu Jian tried his best to persuade his parents and fellow refugees to stay, saying that he had found a way to settle here.
Regarding the life of the first city lord of Yuanxing City, among the many versions circulated, the more convincing one is that he accidentally dug up a treasure handed down from ancient times, and learned peerless magical skills from it, leaping From an ordinary refugee to a famous and powerful man.
Then there are various challenges to the strong ones from all sides, establishing prestige, and finally relying on one's own reputation and hard work, plus various means, starting from an uncivilized refugee, and finally becoming the overlord of one party and establishing an empire located in the north. The largest city in the region.
Yuanxing City.
In fact, over the years, many people who are not engaged in business have come to Yuanxing City. On the surface, they are here for tourism.
But in fact everyone knows it well.
They all came for the treasure from a hundred years ago.
Although Qiu Jian was indeed very likely to have obtained this treasure and transformed into a powerful and powerful figure.
But so many years have passed, although the person is no longer there.
But isn’t the treasure still there?
Who can deny that he is not the next lucky one?
