Chapter 658: Journey
Including Ying Honghua, the Tongtian Masters from the thirteen departments looked at Chu Qing in surprise.
"Our main mission is to protect her!"
Ying Honghua pointed out the woman from the Ministry of Works.
She is a repairman who can repair broken equipment and magical weapons.
However;
Chu Qing smiled and said: "My mission is to protect the divine weapons and equipment!"
Reflecting red flowers....
Other heavenly beings....
Guard the repairman well, and when you reach the restricted area, you can repair many magic weapons and equipment.
How many sets of equipment and magic weapons did you get in the car?
It’s all lost, it’s nothing.
However, everyone quickly realized:
Chu Qing's mission is hugely different from theirs.
so:
Everyone was silent.
Gulu!
Gulu!
The team hits the road.
The speed of the car is very fast. Although it cannot travel three thousand miles a day, it can cover a thousand miles in about ten hours.
and:
Still running around day and night.
A day and night passed, and this team actually appeared more than two thousand miles away from the imperial capital.
Ying Honghua had a lively conversation with people from other departments.
Chu Qing, on the other hand, sat quietly in the carriage and did not discuss it with them.
He is studying on his own.
He didn't break the barrier, but kept opening acupuncture points.
Acupuncture points were opened one by one.
His strength increased little by little.
"This is actually not bad."
"This is similar to when I was in seclusion in the imperial capital."
Chu Qing was very satisfied with this mission at this time.
If he can reach the penalty area so quietly, his strength will be greatly improved.
one day...
Three days....
five days....
On the tenth day, they set foot in the Great Zhou Empire.
The Great Zhou Empire was just like when Chu Qing came. There was yellow sand everywhere and the earth was dry and cracked.
The majestic cities were silent.
They can only see people when passing through the main city.
In the convoy, there are people who specifically communicate with these main cities.
They replenished various supplies and hit the road again.
There were a huge team of 1,800 people. Except for the lively first few days, at other times, most people were busy walking without talking at all.
There is a groom who checks the condition of the horses every now and then and then feeds them the secret medicine.
These horses, traveling day and night, not only did not feel tired at all, but became more energetic and stronger.
Ten days later:
The team passed through the Great Zhou Empire and set foot in an empire called Qiangwei.
Rose Empire, a world of ice and snow. Frozen corpses were everywhere.
Obviously, this place has also suffered a millennium catastrophe.
and:
The situation here is similar to that of the Daqian Empire.
Chu Qing felt that maybe in a few years, the Daqian Empire would become like this.
"This thousand-year catastrophe is really interesting."
"But, is it destroying people? Or is it the empire?"
Chu Qing pondered.
The main city of the Rose Empire is equally magnificent.
However, the situation in the main city is not very good.
Chu Qing discovered:
The team's complement in the Rose Empire is not very large.
"Could it be that the aristocratic families of the Rose Empire can't bear it anymore?"
He was curious and asked the people who communicated with the main city.
The man smiled and said:
"Sir, the resources in the main city are actually quite rich."
"Even if we let them eat and drink freely and enjoy it to the fullest, they will not be able to finish it for decades or hundreds of years."
"But, they won't give us too many resources."
"Because the Rose Empire's thousand-year catastrophe is about to end."
"When the disaster is over, they will start a war."
"They need more resources to sustain the war."
Chu Qing said in surprise: "The thousand-year catastrophe of the Rose Empire only reached this level in the end?"
The man nodded and said, "Not bad!"
"However, this level is enough to freeze many people to death."
"Even ordinary warriors can freeze to death."
"When the catastrophe ends, there will be no one left in the population!"
"When the new empire is established, the population will be reduced to one in a thousand!"
Chu Qing looked at the wind and snow in the sky, feeling the extremely cold temperature, and lost his voice: "This so-called catastrophe is actually to clean up ordinary people."
"It's depopulating."
The man was at a loss.
call out!
Yinghonghua suddenly flew over from the car in front:
"In the thousand-year catastrophe in history, most of the people who died were ordinary people."
"The survivors are almost all warriors and their descendants and slaves."
"And some elite soldiers!"
"Then a new empire is built!"
"Because the population is sparse, after the new empire is opened, whether it is land annexation or resource distribution, it will be very simple."
"In the first hundred years or so, the empire would develop rapidly, then reach its peak, and finally become bloated, and finally encounter a thousand-year catastrophe again."
"Over and over again."
"Never stops!"
Chu Qing looked at the frozen corpse on the road and said a little uncertainly: "This world shouldn't be like this."
"Cleaning up ordinary people with various meteorological disasters."
"What's the purpose of this over and over again?"
Ying Honghua shook her head and smiled: "I don't understand!"
"By the way, after leaving the Rose Empire, we arrived at the outer edge of the restricted area: the Eternal Night Empire."
The Yongye Empire has a very small territory, more than half the size of the Daqian Empire.
According to Ying Honghua, in the past, the Rose Empire was the empire closest to the restricted area.
However, for thousands of years, masters from one empire after another have continued to set foot in the restricted area.
The restricted area in their direction shrank back a little.
Originally, the Rose Empire wanted to annex the newly emerged lands.
result:
The empire before the Zhou Dynasty did not agree.
In the end, a small country was born on the new land: the Eternal Night Empire.
"The Eternal Night Empire only has twenty main cities!"
"It is small in size, but has many masters."
"In our state city of Daqian, if a Heaven-reaching One is born every year, it is very powerful."
"But, in Yongye, their capital, three to five, or even more Heaven-reaching Ones are born every year."
Chu Qing's heart moved: "Are there many resources here?"
Ying Honghua nodded and said, "Not bad!"
"This is close to the restricted area!"
"There are far more resources here than anywhere else."
Chu Qing nodded.
Ying Honghua added: "By the way, you have to be careful after entering the Yongye Empire!"
"This place is close to the restricted area. Many experts who are entrenched in the restricted area will come here to rest!"
"They...are lawless!"
"Be cruel and ruthless in doing things!"
"Every time we lose men, we lose them in Eternal Night."
Chu Qing nodded again.
A few days later:
Chu Qing saw the Evernight Empire.
As soon as he set foot in the Evernight Empire, he was stunned for a moment.
because:
Just after crossing the border, Chu Qing discovered:
The sky in the Eternal Night Empire is gray.
He returns to the Rose Empire.
I found that the sky in Rose was bright, and when Rose Empire looked at Eternal Night Empire, the sky was also bright.
But:
After entering the eternal night, the sky is gray.
The border divided the two empires into two worlds.
The sky is dark and there is little sunlight.
The earth is also gray and the surroundings are very desolate.
Moreover, the closer you get to the restricted area, the darker and more desolate the sky becomes.
There wasn't even a blade of grass on the ground.
Low cities stood alone under the gray sky.
Occasionally I see local people and find that their expressions are numb and their eyes are empty, as if they were dead.
but:
Through the city wall, he saw again that the city was brightly lit, bustling with activity, and extremely noisy.
"This eternal night... is really strange!"
