The territory of the Demon Clan is not very vast. Among the Three Eastern Courts, the Human Court's territory covers 50% of the Three Eastern Courts, while the Demon Clan only occupies a very small southern forest. Therefore, advancing at full speed, Zhou Li and his party left the Demon Court's territory in less than a day.
In fact, the several city-states Zhou Li passed through before were not human territory in the true sense. Through Su Yuli's explanation, Zhou Li learned that the Three Courts did not actually collapse completely. Whether it is the fairy court hidden in the sky or the human court with a magic circle built around the royal city, they are still operating stably. It's just that the control power of the Three Eastern Courts is much less than that of the Three Eastern Courts, which had not collapsed decades ago.
Therefore, the place Zhou Li and the others are going to now is Luoyang, the still-functioning human royal city. At this time, they had arrived at the outermost city of Human Garden [Shangjing], but a problem faced them.
What identity should I use to enter this city?
First of all, Zhou Li's current official status is a brave man. But the problem is, guess who took away the origin and then replaced it, causing the entire Three Eastern Courts to turn against Tiangang and make the people miserable?
Haha, yes, of course he is a brave man. And he is also a brave man named Zhou Li, you say it is a coincidence.
Although Zhou Li knew that the masters of the three courts probably knew something, after all, Shangxian had met these people before. And it is obvious that the Supreme Immortal should know more truth than anyone else, otherwise he would not be able to re-establish order in the Three Eastern Courts without the origin. However, Zhou Li could not guarantee that the minds of ordinary people could distinguish between the brave Zhou Li and the new-born brave Zhou Li. If there were any misunderstandings, a lot of things might be delayed.
Time is now very precious for Zhou Li and his party. Since the Three Eastern Courts will greatly weaken the magic power, Zhou Li no longer has any means of communication to get in touch with the outside world. He didn't know what was happening in the outside world now, whether anyone was still missing, or whether the scope of the disappearance was expanding. He knew nothing about this.
"It's still Norima Kojiro."
Zhou Li pinched his arm and said with a serious face: "As a great sage and sage who has traveled all over the world, this status should bring us a lot of convenience."
"I'm afraid you will be treated as a case."
Atalona on the side said in a cold voice without mercy: "We want to hide our identity and find the master of the human court. Your use of such a high-profile name has no meaning other than exposing us."
"Gods who don't understand people's hearts, you know Gou Ba."
Faced with Atalona's ridicule, Zhou Li sneered, "Hiding your identity doesn't mean you have to keep a low profile. Most of the time, you wear a black hood all day long and walk around quietly without saying a word. It’s eye-catching. People like me who bring their own special effects as soon as they appear are reassuring fools, do you understand?”
You actually know that you are a fool.
Atalona's eyes were filled with shock. She had never seen anyone who could say this so naturally, nor had she seen anyone who could be proud of this phenomenon. After a brief shock, she waved her hand, indicating that she and Zhou Li had no desire to communicate at all, and he just did as he pleased.
"Taoyao, have you been to the Human Courtyard?"
Zhou Li looked at Taoyao, who was kicking stones aside, and asked, "Do you know this place in Luoyang?"
"well?"
Tao Yao was stunned for a moment when she heard Zhou Li call out her name, and retracted her toes that she originally kicked out. She tapped her chin lightly with her jade finger, and after thinking for a moment, she said quietly: "This... I really don't know much about it, and my family doesn't have a caravan that trades with the human family."
"Too."
Zhou Li nodded and said to himself: "After all, I didn't even know that Human Court was still there. This really surprises me."
To be honest, Zhou Li thought that the Three Courts had collapsed long ago. Because neither the lord of Gusu City, who worshiped Entropy Ling, nor Tao Yao's father knew anything about the Three Courts. Considering the devastating disaster that occurred after the source disappeared, it was only natural that Zhou Li would think so. However, when the echo of Su Yuli's soul appeared, he knew that San Ting was far more resilient than he thought.
Also normal...
Thinking of the master of the human court, Zhou Li sighed secretly in his heart. Having gained his memory, he clearly remembered that the monarch named Ying Ji was very strange compared to the monarchs of other countries. He has no interest in power, and he was elected as the head of the court only because of his strong ability. As a professional who has already reached the demigod level, Ying Ji has been exploring how to avoid gods to gain power in his previous life, and finally became the path given by gods.
Zhou Li didn't know whether he succeeded in the end, because after he left the Third Eastern Court, he unconsciously avoided accepting news from the Third Eastern Court for some reasons. But in this life, Zhou Li understood that Ying Ji's research must have failed. After all, the Three Eastern Courts had not experienced a restart and the disaster still existed. Ying Ji probably had no time to study these things.
Thinking of this, Zhou Li couldn't help but feel a little regretful. There is no doubt about Ying Ji's talent, and his personal charm is also unmatched. In Zhou Li's memory, that proud but not arrogant man always looked confident of winning, as if there was nothing he couldn't do in the world. Even after Zhou Li, who was dying in his previous life, was sent to the Three Eastern Courts, Ying Ji was the first to find a way to revive Zhou Li.
"Outsiders?"
Compared to Gusu City and Bandit City, as part of the Human Family, Shangjing far exceeds the first two cities in terms of size and population. The city wall of Shangjing is a standard Hui-shaped city wall, but with the great power of the professionals in Renting, the city wall of Shangjing itself looks like a magnificent city-state, not to mention the half-mile-long bridge to enter the city from the outer city wall. After walking into the huge door that was prepared for an immortal, a soldier in armor blocked the way of several people.
"That's right."
Zhou Li nodded. The soldier in front of him looked no more than 20 or 30 years old, but his voice smelled of blood. It was obvious that he had been on a real battlefield. After looking suspiciously at Zhou Li and the beautiful girls around him, the soldier asked with some vigilance:
"Are there any of the people around you from the Demon Court? Let me explain in advance that the current structure of the Human Court excludes all non-human beings. If the adults around you are from the Demon Court, they need to wear corresponding jade pendants to enter. city."
The soldier's words made Zhou Li stunned for a moment. After a brief moment of confusion, he asked hesitantly: "Don't we need to announce our names?"
"Need not."
The soldier shook his head and looked calm, as if he had been accustomed to this kind of problem. "Anyone with a clear conscience can enter the human court. This is our rule since ancient times."
"With no guilt in your heart?"
Zhou Li raised his eyebrows. There weren't many people around now anyway, so he happened to inquire about the situation in the human court, "How do I judge this thing? What if I am a very vicious person who is very indifferent to killing, so I have no guilt in my heart but my hands are stained with human lives, Does this count as having a clear conscience?”
"Calculate."
To everyone's surprise, the soldier did not hesitate and answered directly: "No matter wealth, no matter good or evil, no matter means, as long as you have a clear conscience, no matter what you have done, it will not matter. Of course, there are still laws in the human court, and they are much stricter than outside the court. If you break the law in the human court, the consequences will usually not be good."
"Ouch."
Zhou Li suddenly understood and nodded. Then he looked at Atalona aside and said innocently, "How about you wait here for a while? You can't get in anyway."
"Ah."
Atalona ignored Zhou Li's tricks, or she could see through Zhou Li's thoughts at a glance. As for having a clear conscience, Zhou Li was sure that people like him would have no problem. Needless to say, Eluma's heart was like a blank sheet of paper, so she couldn't feel any guilt. Torea is a girl with no emotions, she doesn't even have much emotion. As for Atalona...
To be honest, it wouldn't be a surprise if Atalona laughed wildly and cut people into pieces one day.
Therefore, when Zhou Li said this, he wanted Atalona to test whether Renting's "human identification system" was accurate. After all, at present, except for myself, none of the others are normal humans. There are artificial humans, the will of the earth and even gods. Of course, Zhou Li seriously doubted that he was not a human being in the strict sense. After all, he was an earthling.
Atalona didn't bother to expose Zhou Li's little thoughts, or most of the time, she was so talkative that it was scary. She stepped forward, faced the serious-looking soldier, and asked, "How do you detect whether I am a human being?"
"Forehead···"
For some reason, the soldier who had always had a serious face subconsciously took a step back after seeing Atalona. After reacting, the soldier was a little confused. For some reason, when the tall and beautiful woman in front of him spoke, he subconsciously felt that his heart froze for a moment.
He knew that this was definitely not love at first sight. After all, no one who fell in love at first sight and whose heart stopped still warned him how powerful the woman in front of him was. But this warning was fleeting, and he couldn't tell whether it was true or not. After coming back to his senses, the soldier turned slightly and said, "You just need to walk in normally. If you are not a human, the barrier will drive you away. At this time, you need to go to the inn not far away to buy a jade pendant. Jade pendant It’s not expensive, only five silver coins a pair.”
"good."
Atalona didn't waste any time and walked directly into the capital. The moment he passed through the city gate, he didn't know if he was hallucinating. The soldier seemed to hear the faint wailing of the city wall.
Shaking his ears, the soldier felt that he had not had a good rest recently. He looked at Zhou Li in front of him and asked, "Are you all going to the city?"
"Um."
Zhou Li nodded, and when passing the city gate, Zhou Li subconsciously held Eluma's hand. Eluma's eyebrows are also as stretched as the moon. The soldier who was inexplicably stuffed with dog food clenched the spear in his hand, but had no reaction, as if he had long been used to it.
The moment Zhou Li and Eluma walked through the gate, they didn't know if something had changed in their ears. The soldiers seemed to hear a cry from the city wall. It's like "ah, a personal human", and then "Huh? No, let me see?" "It seems to be a human" "I have a strange!"
?
The soldier pinched his ears. He felt that he must have suffered from neurasthenia due to working overtime every day. How could a city wall express such rich emotions.
Torea also followed Zhou Li. As an android, Torea didn't know what guilt was. The moment they passed through the city wall, the self-doubting soldiers subconsciously pricked up their ears. However, Torea's passage did not produce any strange reaction on the city wall. Seeing this, the soldiers were relieved.
What he didn't see was that the moment Torea passed through the city wall, all the bricks behind the city gate plaque with the words "Shangjing" engraved on it turned into powder.
"There are four people in total, one boy and three girls, right?"
After confirming the number of people again, the soldier looked at Zhou Li and the three girls beside him, each of whom was beautiful in his own way, and said in a letter: "Everyone has passed the test of the knot. Congratulations. From now on, you can be in the human court." Obtain the right to live and move in it. Of course, I want to remind you that rights always coexist with obligations. In the human court, you need to strictly abide by the laws of the human court and are not allowed to violate the orders of the soul of the court master. Of course, if you feel If the order of the court master's soul is wrong, you can appeal, but it needs to be implemented first."
After saying these routine words, the soldier added silently in his heart.
Of course, the court master never makes a mistake.
"The soul of the court master."
Zhou Li keenly captured the key points in the soldier's words. He looked at the soldier and asked with a puzzled expression: "What is the soul of the court master...?"
"The specifics of this may be complicated. You can go to the Wanshitong office in the second ring road after entering Shangjing, and he will give you a detailed explanation. In short, the soul of the court master is the wisdom born from the human court. At the same time, it is also the supreme existence that carries the consciousness of our court master Ying Ji. Anywhere in the human court, the soul of the court master is everywhere, and at the same time, as long as you call the soul of the court master, you can get his guidance. Let me demonstrate to you."
After a brief introduction to what the soul of the court master was, the soldier as the guide subconsciously demonstrated it to everyone.
"Master of the Court, please listen to my call."
The soldier said these words into the air, and then a chaotic and ethereal voice sounded in everyone's ears.
【I am listening】
“Please lead the way for these newcomers to the world and let them go to the Wanshitong office.”
Under Zhou Li's shocked gaze, the soldier created an auditory map for Zhou Li and the others through the intelligent voice assistant Xiaoying.
【Follow my guidance】
After leaving these four words, extremely detailed map guidance appeared in front of Zhou Li and the others. At the same time, a rich voice sounded in their ears. Zhou Li felt shocked for the first time. He raised his head and looked at the slightly proud soldier in front of him, and saw what he wanted to say from his eyes.
Immortal magic, it’s magical.
