Chapter 758: City of the Dead
Loren Planet, Western Hemisphere.
Across the Geyaoji Mountains and through the oasis plains, there is the Ruoshui River that blocks the expansion of the desert.
The vast desert is the land of the dead, where the sea of sand and the burial ground intersect, the sand dunes are dusty, desolate and distant, and the camel caravans travel back and forth to the few oasis cities in the desert.
The concept of the City of the Dead includes the entire desert area, an area that has almost no development value for most humans. This is the kingdom of the Seventh Kingship.
It is precisely because of the special environmental problems that on Loren Planet, the territory occupied by the Seventh Kingship in the human world is the largest among all the kingships.
Penglai Sky Island came to this desert accompanied by Leviathan, flew over the Ruoshui River, and floated on the edge of the desert like a spectacle.
The countries in this world also have airspace, but the city in the sky is a special case.
When reaching a certain height and having a certain scale, this floating continent with natural vitality can ignore the rules of airspace, just like an island in the high seas. Sometimes even if you plant a flag and establish a country on it, the federal government can recognize your country.
It's like the federation is encouraging people to expand the living space of the human world.
Of course, this also depends on whether the ground country where you plant the flag is strong or not. As far as the City of the Dead is concerned, if anyone comes here to establish a country for no reason, it is estimated that the seventh one will inevitably come to the door.
When he came to the City of the Dead, Mu Hua did not let Penglai Sky Island go deep into the desert to find an oasis in this barren land.
He did not call Treze, but just floated on the periphery of the desert, allowing Thursday to take turns to take off the floating monsters to shape.
Mu Hua did not move much, but the people in the City of the Dead could not sit still.
If nothing is said here, Treze will not jump out in a hurry to confront Mu Hua.
A lot of airships flew out of the desert. In a short period of time, there were even five armed starships over a kilometer long that arrived near Penglai Sky Island.
These fleets can be regarded as the government armed forces of the City of the Dead. These government armed forces are not clear about the specific situation, but they dare not take the initiative to talk to Mu Hua.
The fleet kept a distance from Penglai Sky Island, as if waiting for someone with enough weight to communicate with Mu Hua.
"Dear Mr. Mu Hua, Carlisle greets you."
After an unknown amount of time, the remotely located virtual projection appeared on Penglai Sky Island. A human with a somewhat helpless look on his face stood respectfully in front of Mu Hua and greeted Mu Hua.
"Well, I seem to have seen you. What's going on with those fleets outside? I don't have to go through the formalities and pay parking fees when I come to your place, do I?"
Beside the swimming pool outside the castle, Mu Hua leaned on a lounge chair and flipped through a book. A sturdy Behemoth was lying beside him and sleeping soundly. Vivian and Tuesday in swimsuits were swimming in the pool. Mu Hua said to Carlisle.
"They are all garrison troops of the City of the Dead. It's their duty. Please forgive me. I don't know why Mr. Mu Hua came here this time..." Carlisle asked tentatively.
Carlisle, the seventh crown under his command, had seen him when Mu Hua had a fight with Treze in the Undead Courtyard in his early years.
Treze was a king after all, and he still had to have face and dignity.
Mu Hua ran here to lie down regardless of the reason. He was not sure about Mu Hua's attitude, but Carlisle was pushed out to contact Mu Hua first.
"You went to the Kanins Courtyard before? I heard that you also received a lot of development rights. You are quite free. The City of the Dead, including the Geyaoji Mountains and the courtyards of the surrounding countries are not enough for you to mess around?"
Throwing the book in his hand aside, Mu Hua sat up straight and asked Carlisle, who was a virtual projection.
"Heh... Sir, you also know that His Majesty Treze's methods are a bit extreme. In recent years, there have been no uncontrollable changes in the courtyards near the City of the Dead, and the suspended stones produced in the Kanins Courtyard are also quite valuable."
"I heard that you are in a stalemate with the demons over there. We just happened to be free, so we planned to help. After all, this is also our responsibility." Carlisle explained.
The City of the Dead, including the Weak Horizon Plain and even the Geyaoji Mountains, belong to Treze's protection range.
There are at least 500 courtyard entrances within this range, including some large and small countries. The protection here refers more to assisting those countries to suppress the courtyards within their territory.
Treze's methods can indeed be called extreme. When a courtyard encounters trouble, the aging wind blowing across the whole area and the undead disaster are basically his routine operations. No one can have an easy time. This method has caused serious damage to the natural environment of the courtyard, and the demons are also very troubled by it. Regardless of fear or disgust, Treze can be said to have suppressed all the courtyards in this area with his own strength.
And the people in this area are also more accepting of undead magic, which can almost be regarded as the kingdom of the dead in the human world.
"You, or you, are you sure you want to talk to me like this?" Mu Hua did not comment on Carlisle's explanation, and asked in a calm, even peaceful tone.
Carlisle can't be said to be a little Karami. Maybe Mu Hua can put him in eighteen postures, but as a crowned king, let alone that he may be the patron saint behind some human countries, in some courtyards, he may have established his own country.
So even if Carlisle is afraid of Mu Hua, it is difficult for him to be overly humble. It's not that he can't, but he doesn't know how to do it. Everyone is praised highly every day. After getting used to it, it is a bit unprofessional to act like a grandson.
Mu Hua would not mind this too much. What Mu Hua disliked at this time was not his attitude, but the content of his words.
"Alas, Mr. Mu Hua, strictly speaking, even if the boss wants to do something that will have an adverse effect on you, it is within the rules." Seeing that Mu Hua had no intention of mediating, Carlisle sighed.
"To be honest, we are ready to take over the Cains Courtyard. There is no way. Who told you to get along with the boss? You know, we are the shadow of the king after all." Carlisle said neither softly nor hard.
"Hehe, within the rules." Mu Hua chuckled.
Mu Hua did not see any action. Above Penglai, Thursday's body emitted a distant sound. Although the floating monsters around Penglai were still lazily swimming, their range of movement gradually expanded and approached the fleet farther away.
"Woo~~~"
"Woo~~~"
Whale calls, the floating monsters are okay, although they are huge, but when they are not crazy, their appearance even looks a bit sacred.
But Leviathan is a bit scary. Its body, which is larger than the starship, is like a heavy armor, and hundreds of solid tentacles, which are either hooks or claws, seem to be strange chains that can extend infinitely.
The chains, which are thicker than the pillars of the courtyard, make delicate swings, and the mutated tentacles seem to be able to draw the distant fleet into them at any time.
In a blink of an eye, the surrounding fleets seem to have entered the dangerous meteorite area in the starry sky, and Leviathan and the floating monsters are like star meteorites that may hit them at any time.
The seemingly bulky body of the floating monster is like a whale entering the sea in the air, flexibly shuttling between the fleets.
The personnel in the starship looked at the troll that passed by them through the window. In panic, they did not dare to start the starship casually, for fear of a mistaken "running aground" collision.
"No! Please don't do it." Carlisle's virtual projection hurriedly said.
"I say, big brother, it's really no good for you to mess around like this." Carlisle was distressed.
"The king always has some privileges. If he wants to occupy the Caines Courtyard, just let him occupy it."
"In fact, you just need to give in. No one will say anything to him this time, but there must not be a next time, otherwise it will be unreasonable."
"And your majesty has regained his face in the Caines Courtyard, and he should not target you because of Leviathan in the future."
"Just treat it as a change of courtyard. If you are really angry, I suggest you go directly to His Majesty Trezer. You can open a dimensional battlefield and do whatever you want."
"There are only big soldiers in this fleet. Why make things difficult for them." Carlisle spoke quickly and advised Mu Hua.
"Who said I want to make things difficult for them? I also said that those fleets are too close. Even if Leviathan is active, it's not okay?" Mu Hua retorted.
"Okay, okay, of course, you see, how about I call His Majesty Trezer now?" Carlisle was helpless and turned to mutter to himself.
"If it were me, I would just give up the Cains Courtyard and change to another courtyard. Why do I have to compete with the king? Not to mention that my life span will be cut short by the wind of aging, other kings will not let the kingship fall."
Mumbling to himself, it seemed like he was persuading Mu Hua. Mu Hua glanced at Carlisle and didn't say much, but suddenly a fruit basket appeared in his hand. (End of this chapter)
