Morning in the City of Stars
This is the city of the Yin Clan, located on the bank of the Zhonghai and south of the Forest of Death. Due to the influence of the Forest of Death, the nights here are extremely long. There is only about three hours of weak sunlight at noon.
The so-called hidden tribe is a group that lives in the hidden world. Because of their covenant with the gods, they gained strength and a long lifespan, but also lost the ability to interfere with the outside world. However, with the resistance of the Xiguang tribe, the covenant with the gods was eventually abolished. , but in the hundreds of years that followed, the Xingche clan was still regarded as the descendants of the devil. While enjoying the more solemn favor of the gods than before, this city of stars remained isolated from the world.
Until that invasion destroyed everything, they lost what was also a precious treasure to the gods, were subjected to thunderous wrath, and finally deposed their status as demon dependents, thus losing their status as the first among the hidden tribes. A dominant position that can be tied with the Guijian clan.
But this does not mean that this is the beginning of decay.
Having lost their favor, they are still unparalleled in strength, and have even gained the power to interfere in the world. In just a few decades, the Dark Star Organization, relying on the Xingche clan, was established and quickly grew into the most unparalleled emperor in the dark world. The resources and intelligence of the Xing Organization, in a sense, are more powerful than the Xing Che clan, which is a descendant of the devil.
The City of Stars is the base camp of the Xing Che clan, also known as the ancestral land. As early as tens of thousands of years ago, the Xing Che clan thrived here. During the war of hundreds of clans, with the help of the gradually growing clan, However, all this ended with the covenant of the gods. The Xingche clan, which abandoned their vassals and dependents, returned to their ancestral land and began to enjoy the superior life brought by nearly endless lifespan and powerful power. .
However, at this time, this ancient city, which had seen few outsiders for nearly ten thousand years, once again welcomed a strange guest.
Compared with the City of Stars' history of more than ten thousand years, its city walls seem a bit crude. The white Pegasus came from the sky, broke through the disguised phantom barrier outside the City of Stars, and landed lightly in front of the silver city wall. , the rider jumped off the Pegasus and casually lifted the huge burgundy gourd on its back with one hand. When it landed, the heavy weight made the ground tremble slightly.
The Pegasus neighed slightly, as if he was worried about his safety. The blond rider smiled, reached out and touched the white horse's mane, then turned around and dragged the gourd away. He never looked back again, leaving only the white horse. The Pegasus was left alone.
In front of him, the huge silver metal city gate suddenly opened.
From the beginning to this moment, the blond rider did not say a word. He just stood in front of the city gate, and the gate of the hermit city opened for him, so he continued to drag the wine gourd forward, weighing heavily The extremely heavy gourd left a finger-deep drag mark on the jade-like road.
Outside the city, the city is lonely, but when you enter the city, you will find that it is not much different from ordinary mortal cities.
On the white jade-like street, there are pedestrians, merchants, old people, children, handsome young people, and gentle girls.
If there is any difference, it is that their hair color and pupils are as clean and pure as silver. They looked at the blond young man walking slowly from the city gate, and looked at the huge gourd that was as tall as a man dragged behind him. They were stunned for a moment, and the whole street was silent for a moment.
Different from those Dark Star elites walking in the darkness, and different from the tyrannical army of the Xingche clan that trembled in the world, for a clan, more and more important, it is these ordinary civilians. It is they who have created the foundation for the continuation of the entire ethnic group.
Therefore, whether it is the Dark Star members who incarnate darkness and use blood as makeup, or the Xing Che army that guards the City of Stars to intimidate the young, they all exist to allow these civilians to live peacefully and freely.
For them, not only have they never left this city of stars, they have almost never met any outside humans.
However, at this moment, a blond young man with a strange appearance walked in from the city gate grandly, and with such an attitude, he was no less than a man walking into his daughter's kingdom.
The blond rider was not surprised by the reactions of the people around him. This was his second time here, but the first time he came here, he had to wrap himself in a tight cloak and enter the city under the cover of darkness. This time It's completely different.
He smiled, bowed his head and saluted around him: "I, Xi Che, from the Xiguang clan, have come to form an alliance with the nobles on behalf of the clan. Since the clan is poor and lacking, we have nothing to offer as gifts, so I have to bring some wine for you all to enjoy."
When Xi Che said the name of the Xi Guang clan, there were exclamations and sounds of understanding coming from around him.
Yes, the vast majority of the Xingche clan have never left the City of Stars, but that doesn't mean they know nothing about the outside world.
Of course, there is a certain level of ignorance.
Because of the sense of superiority brought about by the Yin people's long-term respect for status, most of the Yin people do not pay attention to the existence of those mortals, what empires they have built, what civilizations they have created, what peerless strong men they have produced, or their music. These hermits don't care about the uniqueness and essence of paintings, literature and food.
In their basic education, all Yin children only need to understand that there are only seven Yin tribes in the world, and they are one of them.
And most of the history they learned was the history from the War of One Hundred Clans to the present day, from the arduous development in those barbaric times, to the bloody annexation during the War of Hundreds of Clans, to the glory that is now known as the glory of the gods. era, this is the view of history of the vast majority of the Yin people.
If the person standing here at this moment is Ye Xiaojiu, saying that he is Ye Qing of the Lanye Royal Family, and represents the alliance between the Lanye Empire and the Xingche family, then she will definitely not be suddenly enlightened and understand, but confused and confused. A look of disdain.
It's not even discrimination, because here it's an absolute given.
That is to say, Xi Che can only receive such treatment because he is also a member of the Yin clan and is a member of the Xiguang clan, which has had frequent exchanges and frictions with the Xingche clan in history.
Xiche saw the understanding expressions of the people around him, and some of them had already averted their eyes and started busying themselves with the things at hand. He smiled, reached out and took out a glass bowl from his arms, and put it to the mouth of the gourd behind him, and saw the gurgling water there. The wine flows out with a fragrant and fruity aroma.
The sound of such fragrant wine instantly filled the entire street, and even the Xingche soldiers who were watching him in the distance couldn't help but feel their throats tingling when they smelled it.
Xi Che raised his hand slightly, and the wine flew out steadily and landed in front of an old man. The old man had white beard and hair, but he was obviously very experienced in the world when he was young. He looked at the jasper glass where not a drop of wine had been spilled. Bowl, stretched out his hand to pick it up and raised it to the blond young man: "Master Jing Xiche!"
Xiche laughed loudly, poured out another bowl for himself, and raised it to the old man: "Respect the elder."
Lift the bowl and drink it all in one gulp.
The old man finished his drink and laughed loudly: "Happy, happy, good wine! Good wine!"
Xiche looked around the street and laughed: "Who else would like to share a bowl with me, please raise your hand."
The next moment, the entire street was like a forest.
Xi Che stretched out his right hand, and there was a bowl, and the wine poured out. He threw out his right hand, and the wine floated to someone in the distance. He stretched out his hand again, and there was another bowl. The bowl was endless, the wine was endless, and the breath was endless.
This Emperor Ste, the head of the Xiguang Clan, within one breath, his men were like thunder and lightning. After one breath, everyone present, old and young, male and female, all had a bowl of wine by their side.
Xi Che poured out the last bowl, put it in his hand, and said with a long smile: "Do you dare to drink with me?"
Before anyone could speak, a young girl walked out of the crowd, holding the bowl of green wine in her hand. She had silver hair, silver eyes, slender eyebrows and cherry lips. She was tall and voluptuous, and her appearance was enough to charm a city.
She approached with a smile and came to Xi Che. She looked at Xi Che's tough face quietly. She reached out and drank half of the wine in the bowl, then handed it out with a hint of playfulness and provocation in her eyes.
"Do you dare to have a drink with me?"
Listening to the girl's crisp and proud words, Xi Che couldn't help but laugh again. He stretched out his hand to drink half of the wine in his bowl, and handed it to the other party: "Why don't you dare?"
The people in the street roared with laughter, like thunder.
Under everyone's attention, Xi Che, the girl, and thousands of Xing Che tribe members drank a glass of wine together to get drunk.
