Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 117 Stowaway

Ji Xinghuo strolled through Yunxiaoxia City. The streets were wide, flat, and bustling with people, with various shops and high-rise residences on both sides.

If you don't look at the appearance of the pedestrians, it feels similar to a city on earth in the astral realm.

Yi people like heights, so they build their houses very high. Buildings with dozens of floors are lined up in rows. Many flowers, plants and trees are planted between the floors, just like hanging gardens.

The entire Yunxiaoxia City has this style, where nature and architecture are combined, making it refreshing to walk around.

Pedestrians on the street have different shapes.

Ji Xinghuo saw many races that he had never seen before, as well as several other aliens in the Thousand Peaks Abyss Forest.

But the most numerous ones are the Winged and Human races.

The appearance of the people on earth is very similar to that of humans in the star world. There is nothing unique about their facial features, body shape, and temperament. They are generally quite mediocre. As long as you don't say that you are an alien, others will definitely misunderstand earthlings as a certain subspecies of human race.

This saves a lot of trouble. After all, aliens are more conspicuous in the star realm.

There is no public transportation system in Yunxiaoxia City, and Yiren does not research steam technology. People go out either by flying or riding.

Ji Xinghuo rode a silver-winged Pegasus and walked on the street without being conspicuous at all.

Not long after he entered the city, he saw several people riding silver-winged Pegasus like himself, as well as all kinds of mounts, including those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. He couldn't recognize them all.

There is good order in the city.

Every few minutes, the Winged City Guards would fly overhead. Occasionally, if there was a conflict, the Winged Guards would drop down from the sky and kill them on the spot if they disobeyed the advice.

After walking around the city for more than an hour, Ji Xinghuo's eyes were opened.

Yunxiaoxia City gave him a feeling that was both novel and familiar, with a primitive and barbaric look, but also advanced features that technology could not achieve.

This place is open to all rivers and welcomes all foreign races.

But the hierarchy is strict, and the Yiren are the absolute ruling class.

Ji Xinghuo turned on his magnetic field induction almost all the time, scanning everything around him, and suddenly his face showed a bit of surprise.

He turned his horse's head, turned down another street, and soon arrived at a hotel.

There are various words on the sign at the door.

These include familiar Chinese characters, as well as scripts from several major languages ​​on Earth.

"Man in the clouds."

Ji Xinghuo's magnetic field has already scanned the entire hotel. The area is not large. This ten-story building has been transformed into a hotel layout from the first to fifth floors. There are not many guests inside, only a few dozen. But they are all from Earth.

He approached the hotel. When the waiter at the door saw Ji Xinghuo's appearance, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Guest, do you need to stay in the hotel?"

Hearing the Asian Communist language, Ji Xinghuo suddenly felt very friendly and nodded: "Yes." He turned over and dismounted and handed the reins to the other party, "Please take care of it."

The mount is convenient to take out, but it is troublesome to take care of it when not in use.

The more expensive the mount, the harder it is to get it.

Therefore, it is not that many aliens cannot afford flying mounts, but they do not want to carry a burden that will not help them in battle, and cannot be discarded casually. If they die accidentally, they will lose a lot of money.

"Don't worry, our hotel has a dedicated horse breeder with rich experience who will ensure that your Pegasus will be taken good care of." The waiter responded, patting his chest.

"That's good."

Ji Xinghuo walked into the lobby of Yunzhongmanke. A woman who was obviously the lobby manager had heard the voice and came out with a smile on her face.

She is in her thirties, has a capable and delicate appearance, and has her name on her left breast.

Ji Xinghuo glanced at him and saw that the other person's name was Jiang Wei.

Judging from the magnetic field strength and ether energy fluctuations, she should be a high-level alien with considerable strength.

"Hello, distinguished guest." Jiang Wei said enthusiastically, "May I ask your surname?"

"Xin Liaoyuan."

Ji Xinghuo casually said a usual pseudonym. There was no need to reveal his true identity in Yunxiao City.

Jiang Wei didn't ask any questions and quickly registered him for accommodation. Then she personally sent her upstairs to the guest room and introduced the hotel's services, which were no different from those on earth.

"Manager Jiang." Ji Xinghuo asked, "When is Queen Lingqi's birthday celebration?"

"The 19th of Xiyue." Jiang Wei replied.

Ji Xinghuo did the math and figured out that there were still twelve days left. Before the end of the Yuanshou Celebration, he would enter the Yunxiao City in the sky to investigate the situation of the thing connected to the Vientiane Star Pupil.

However, it is not easy to ask immediately now.

Jiang Wei didn't know what Ji Xinghuo was thinking, so she took the initiative to introduce him to some Yuanshou celebration activities, which started half a month before the celebration, such as flying skills competition, Colosseum, martial arts battles, artistic dance performances, and Feather Lantern Festival. etc.

On the day of the Yuanshou celebration, there will be grand birthday celebration parades in the upper city and lower city of Yunxiao, which are very lively.

Queen Lingqi will appear at the celebration to accept congratulations and gifts from her subjects and guests from all walks of life.

It is said that many winged families have prepared many precious treasures in order to please the queen, and there will be a gift-giving session.

"Gift..."

Ji Xinghuo's heart sank.

Couldn't the thing I wanted be one of the treasures to be sacrificed?

If Queen Lingqi had a discerning eye and saw the extraordinary, and it finally fell into her hands, it would be almost impossible for her to get it.

"Thank you, Manager Jiang."

Ji Xinghuo's face remained calm, and after thinking for a while he asked: "I originally came out to explore the star world, and happened to know about Queen Lingqi's longevity celebration, so I came to join in the fun. It wasn't until I arrived at Yunxiao City that I realized that ordinary people I can’t get into the Sky City, do you have any way?”

Jiang Wei's expression changed, "It is difficult for outsiders to obtain the qualifications to enter the Sky City."

"There's always a way, right?" Ji Xinghuo smiled.

Jiang Wei gave him a meaningful look, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "The risk is very high, the price is also very high, and there is no guarantee of success."

Ji Xinghuo took out some cash and handed it to her.

Each one has a face value of 100,000 Asian dollars, for a total of 500,000.

"Manager Jiang, please help me find a way." When Ji Xinghuo heard that there was something going on, he spent generously, "This is the hard work fee for Manager Jiang. If I can enter Shangcheng, the reward will be doubled."

Jiang Wei looked at the cash in her hand and couldn't refuse, "Mr. Xin, please wait for two days."

"good."

Ji Xinghuo sent her out and walked to the balcony to look at the scenery on the street.

Under the induction of the magnetic field, Jiang Wei returned to the hotel lobby and called a hotel waiter. After giving a few instructions in a low voice, the waiter mounted a horse and left the hotel. Ji Xinghuo followed the waiter, and soon ran out of the range of the magnetic field induction and could not be found.

"I hope she can really find a way." Ji Xinghuo muttered and lay down on the bed to rest.

The wait lasted for more than ten hours.

night.

The dark night turned into a starry night, and everything in the city lit up. The trees planted on the street and the various flowers and plants on the floors are all fluorescent plants, which release the energy absorbed during the day at night. They are colorful and unique compared to the bustling cities on earth.

Ji Xinghuo had finished dinner and was playing with Qinghong in the room. The magnetic field sensor detected Jiang Wei coming up, so he put Qinghong away.

After a knock on the door, he opened the door.

"Manager Jiang."

"Mr. Xin is very lucky." Jiang Wei whispered: "I asked someone to find a way. It was just a try, but I didn't expect to get a reply soon, but you have to talk to the other party yourself."

Ji Xinghuo asked: "Now?"

"Yes."

Jiang Wei explained carefully: "The other party is a Yiren and has some friendship with me. She was born in a Yiren noble family and opened a restaurant in the upper city. She goes to the lower city every few days to purchase ingredients. She can use the restaurant Bringing people uptown in the name of employees.”

This is obviously not a formal channel.

"Can you trust it?" Ji Xinghuo asked.

"This is not the first time she has done something like this." Jiang Wei said, "Many people, especially those who admire Shangcheng, are willing to pay some price to visit Shangcheng for a few days. The Wangting City Guards also know very well that usually Turn a blind eye."

Ji Xinghuo frowned. Officials usually didn't care about this kind of gray industry, but when a major event was about to be held, they would crack down hard first.

Sometimes there is also fishing enforcement.

Although this is Tianyu Royal Court, it is no different from the earth.

"These are extraordinary times, will there be any problems?"

"The message she gave me is that everything is business as usual." That's what Jiang Wei said, but from her expression, you can guess that it's probably just a one-sided statement.

Ji Xinghuo thought for a while and decided he had to give it a try, so he asked, "How will the other party charge?"

"Ten thousand true dragon coins."

A bit more expensive than expected.

"Because Mr. Xin is not a Yiren, it is more troublesome, so the price is three times more expensive than a Yiren." Jiang Wei explained, "If Mr. Xin can accept it, please go to the other party tomorrow morning. If everything goes well, it should be available in the afternoon." Entering the upper city.”

"Thank you."

Ji Xinghuo took out another 500,000 Asian dollars and handed it to Jiang Wei.

She immediately handed over a piece of paper with an address written on it. Ji Xinghuo took it and took a look. The place was not far away.

The next morning.

Ji Xinghuo walked out of Yunzhongmanke and quickly arrived at the address on the paper, which was a nearby food market.

He found a store in the market, entered a hidden room hidden behind the door, and met the winged woman Jiang Wei mentioned.

In human eyes, it is impossible to distinguish the beauty and ugliness of the Winged Man's appearance.

They all feel like a bird.

However, the clan can be identified by the color of their feathers.

The wings of this winged woman are beautiful, with smooth feathers and colorful patterns, like fine silk fabrics. In the Tianyu Royal Court, this kind of wings symbolizes noble status, because she is a winged person of the Lingyu clan, the same clan as Queen Lingqi.

There are hundreds of bloodline clans in the Winged People, and the Ayaba clan is the most beautiful and most talented among them.

"Ms. Yankong."

Ji Xinghuo greeted respectfully in the language of the Tian clan.

Yankong has a pair of round pupils like iris, like an eagle's eye. She wears an exquisite silk robe, with deep wrinkles on her paws, which shows that she is not young, but she has a pampered attitude. She sits there and scans her eyes lazily. He glanced at Ji Xinghuo.

"Are you the Earthling who Jiang Wei introduced to the city?" Her tone was somewhat arrogant.

Ji Xinghuo lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

"Well……"

Only then did Yankong take a serious look at Ji Xinghuo, and sneered: "Aliens actually want to enter Shangcheng. In this day and age, no one dares to look up at the sky."

Looking up to the sky is an adjective in the Tian language, which is similar to a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

Ji Xinghuo felt unhappy and said nothing.

"Okay." Yan Kong waved her right paw, "I know you aliens are all arrogant and think you have mastered the truth of the world."

She stared at Ji Xinghuo, "There is only a deal between us. If you give me the money, I will take you to the upper city."

"Did you bring the money?"

Ji Xinghuo silently took out a golden dragon coin with a face value of 10,000.

Yankong's eyes were bright, and he couldn't wait to take the gold dragon coin, admiring the gold coin in his claws, no longer looking at Ji Xinghuo, waving his claws and saying: "You go to the back and wait, of course someone will disguise you, and the rules will be followed Let me make it clear to you.”

Ji Xinghuo went out through the other door in the room.

There is a large yard at the back, with a large cargo compartment like a carriage in the middle, and several wingmen are loading baskets of ingredients into it.

A female wingman came over and threw a set of clothes to Ji Xinghuo and asked him to change into it.

This is an ordinary cloth suit with a colorful feather logo on the collar, cuffs and chest, representing the status of a servant of the Ayaba clan.

"Get to work." The winged woman commanded unceremoniously.

Ji Xinghuo joined the team carrying ingredients.

Apart from him, most of the people here were Yankong's restaurant employees, as well as a few Winged and Astral Humans who had just changed their clothes. At first glance, they were outsiders who wanted to enter the upper city just like him.

Soon, the cargo compartment was filled.

The female wingman blew a whistle, and four huge giant eagles came down and grabbed a corner of the cargo compartment respectively. The wings vibrated and set off a strong wind. They grabbed the cargo compartment and took off. The female wingman also flew up and commanded. The giant eagle flies to Yunxiao City high in the sky.

An hour later, the wingwoman landed again with an empty cargo compartment.

Moved in this way repeatedly.

Ji Xinghuo worked as a coolie for eight hours. During this period, several people changed their clothes and became Yankong's free porters.

It wasn’t until the afternoon that the last round of ingredients was finally loaded.

"Let's all go in."

Yankong came over and asked all Ji Xinghuo Restaurant employees to enter the cargo compartment.

Ji Xinghuo was sitting next to a basket of vegetables. His body was covered in the smell of various ingredients and he looked no different from a real employee.

The cargo compartment shook, and it flew up after being grabbed by the giant eagle.

Ji Xinghuo watched as the ground got farther and farther away from the place. The air flow outside was blowing and the cargo compartment was shaking. The Wings people had long been used to it, and their expressions did not change.

Overhead, the city in the sky grew larger and larger in the field of vision, as if a large shadow shrouded the head.

The height rises rapidly.

Ji Xinghuo opened the Vientiane Star Pupil interface. The arrow changed with his position and kept rotating, but it always pointed to the same place.

Ten minutes later.

Finally, the cargo compartment rose to the same height as Yunxiao City, but before it had time to take a closer look at the magnificent scenery of this city in the sky, it landed on a platform on the edge of the city.

With a bang, the cargo compartment fell to the ground, surrounded by a group of winged guards wearing exquisite armor.

In the sky around the platform, groups of Royal Guards were hovering.

Ji Xinghuo's magnetic field induction immediately discovered two legendary strong men. He withdrew his gaze and did not dare to look around, playing the role of a restaurant employee.
