Rebirth of the Stars
Vol 2 Chapter 19: Undercurrent II
In the Longshan Region, it should be more accurate to say that it should be the entire Nieno continent, and some city-state alliances are of special nature.
This type of city-state alliance will basically not expand abroad in a war situation, and its position is impartial and completely neutral.
This type of city-state alliance is called a neutral alliance.
Generally speaking, this kind of city-state alliance holds a certain kind of "lifeline", which is enough to ensure that it can live in the right and left between the city-states and the city-state alliance, but also allows those city-states and the city-state alliance to guard against each other and dare not overstep the thunder pool.
The Commercial League where Mochizuki City is located is such a purely neutral city-state alliance organization.
The Commercial League, as the name suggests, is a city-state alliance based on commerce. In other words, this alliance is an alliance composed of multiple purely commercial city-states. Among them, there are five giant city-states, 15 large-scale city-states, 46 medium-sized city-states, and no small-scale city-states.
It is not accurate to say that there are no small city states. It is true that the Commercial League does not have a small city-state directly under it. Because they only absorb medium-sized and above pure commercial city-states to join. But there are still small city-states at the grassroots level.
In fact, it is not a small city state, more accurately it is an urban area.
Through commercial circulation and resource supply, the Commercial League occupies an urban area as a subsidiary of almost all the city-states with which it communicates. It is equivalent to a concession with independent authority.
Although the hard scale of the business alliance can only be regarded as a large force in the entire Longshan domain, it is enough to be called the largest force in the Longshan domain when it is counted as soft. The production of various resources occupied has reached about 40% of the entire Longshan Region. It can almost be said that as long as the Longshan Region has it, there is nothing that cannot be bought in the Commercial League. Even if it is not available in the Longshan domain, the Commercial League has channels to obtain it from other domains. This is the "lifeblood" that the business alliance holds.
The Commercial League has dedicated commercial areas in more than 50% of the medium-sized city-states in the Longshan Region, which is the "concession" just mentioned, and this scale is still expanding with time and the emergence of medium-sized city-states.
The largest business district in Koka City is the Mochizuki area established by Mochizuki City, one of the five giants of the Business League.
There is a rumor of praise about Mochizuki City, one of the five giants of the business alliance: "The Mochizuki area in Mochizuki City, the Wangyue area is hopeful, and the Wangyue Tower is on the Wangyue Pavilion. The Wangyue Pavilion contains the universe and collects the world.
There is also a Wangyue Tower in the Mochizuki area in Koka City, and there is also a Wangyue Pavilion on the Wangyue Tower, and the Wangyue Pavilion also contains a lot of goods from the Longshan domain. It's just that the commodities in the Mochizuki Pavilion in Koka City are living things, to be precise, "people" and "women".
Wangyue Pavilion in Koka City is a shop that specializes in selling female officials. The whole Mochizuki Tower is the largest slave trading market in Koka City.
The slave thing has existed since the beginning of the city-state alliance. It's actually easy to understand. When there is war, there will be prisoners, refugees, and homeless people. Although all the aborigines of the Nieno continent have long been accustomed to war and don't care much about who is on top of their heads, it is an extravagant hope for people to always be rational. So even if you are accustomed to it, you will also have hatred, and you will resist the so-called habituation because of the hatred.
So how to deal with this kind of existence is naturally impossible, so as a slave trade has become a natural choice.
The legal origins of slaves are basically divided into three categories, prisoners of war, refugees in the wild, and self-fallen. The prisoners of war are the soldiers and practitioners who surrendered or captured. Refugees in the wild are those who have no household registration or have lost their household registration. The so-called self-fallen are those who sell their own existence for some reason.
As for the reason why a long paragraph was introduced to introduce the existence of the business alliance and the slave trade, it was naturally because Xu Yong and the master he welcomed back from the resurrection hall were now on the Mochizuki Tower in the Mochizuki district of Koka City.
There is no need to say more about the purpose of coming here, "to accompany the prince to study".
In the Wangyue Pavilion, which specializes in selling slaves of beautiful women of various races, Xu Yong and his younger brothers followed suit with a young man in black Confucian clothing.
The man wants to say that Junyi's appearance is indeed Junyi, and his face also has a natural arrogance. However, whether it is the deep bags under the eyes, the pale and bloodless face, and the vain and feeble footsteps all show that the young man's body has been hollowed out by the color of wine.
There is no doubt that this is a dude. And it is not the children of the nobles who seem to be frivolous and elite, but the real dudes who have completely degenerated themselves.
The young man's name is Xue Qing, and he is the heir of a big figure in the "Xingyan" where Xu Yong is.
Although the big man has a lot of heirs, it is said that this one is still very popular. So Xu Yong could only wait carefully. After all, he was backed by "Xingyan", and this time this time he came with that person's instructions.
However, serving the young man is really not that easy to serve, especially this one who has just been slaughtered once, and now his heart is on fire.
"No one caught him" Xue Qing selected several favorite products from the slave materials handed by the supervisor of Wangyue Pavilion and asked the other party to bring them for inspection. After turning around to look at Xu Yong's suppressed annoyed tone, Xue Qing said blankly.
Xu Yong gestured to a little brother who was in charge of the conversation next to him. The little brother nodded and replied with some flattery: "My son, the man has been caught. It has been brought to your room. This time I promise that the other party cannot resist."
"Yeah." Xue Qing's expression was slightly relaxed, and his tone of voice was relaxed: "It's a good job. This son, I don't care about your responsibility to protect the disadvantages this time."
Immediately gritted her teeth and said angrily: "That cheap maid actually dared to stab my son with scissors, causing him to lose a soul-recovering pill for nothing. My son will definitely want her to survive and die. Huh."
After sending a few ruthless words, Xue Qing looked at Xu Yong again and said, "You have been here for seven years, right?"
Xu Yong motioned to the younger brother to reply again.
"Yes, son. My captain has been in Koka City for almost eight years."
"Then, did you find that place?" Xue Qing looked at Xu Yongdao coldly.
The younger brother was taken aback. As Xu Yong's confidant, he glanced at his captain, and then carefully said: "Master Qi, my captain has never forgotten his mission for seven years. After many investigations, he can be sure that the secret realm is indeed near Longsen. Seven Over the years, people have been sent to investigate. Although several underground secrets have been found, they are not there. The team leader judged that the location should not be on the Longsen boundary but on the side of the Fulong Mountain next to Longsen."
"Did you find the specific location?" Xue Qing asked.
The little brother lowered his head in shame, and whispered in fear: "I haven't found it yet."
"Yeah" Xue Qing's eyes turned cold for an instant, and the high-ranking aura that had been tinged since childhood enveloped the audience, staring at Xu Yong with cold eyes.
Although Xue Qing is an out-and-out dude, and his strength is only a soldier-level piling up through resources, the high-ranking aura inherited from that big man still makes Xu Yong's body slightly stiff, and his bright bald head is looming. Cold sweat.
Xue Qingyin stared at Xu Yong's intact right eye coldly, looked at Xu Yong's slightly dodging eyes, and cursed in a low voice: "Seven years, nearly eight years, I can't even find a secret realm. Can you still waste it? "
"Humph." With a cold snort, he turned and walked towards the slave display area, and said in a gloomy tone: "The surname is Xu, don't forget that my father only gave you ten years, and there was no explanation in ten years. You should know What will you end up with."
"He" sneered, and his tone changed to playful abuse: "Although the sound of evil is rare, you are not the candidate alone. However, your only side effect is that your body will gradually become feminine as your talent deepens. If you don't want to be a man completely If you become a woman, you'd better hug the big tree like my torture eye. Although this son still wants to see you completely transformed into a woman. After all, the voice of evil like you in history In the end, all talented people become seductive beauties."
Xu Yong lowered his head and said nothing, clenched his hands unconsciously, and an astonishing cold light exuded in his intact right eye.
Since the awakening of his talent, his most taboo is that others talk about the side effects of his talent, so when "Xingyan" promised to give him a platform four years ago, he couldn't wait to create the whole Koka City knowing everything is still secretive. The demise of the door.
However, although he wanted to kill the boy in front of him, Xu Yong still had to endure it unless he wanted to die.
Although the city-state aborigines are not much different from players in many mechanisms, they are only similar. Just like the resurrection mechanism, mortals among the city-state aborigines have no resurrection times. Once they die, they have to be reincarnated, that is, if they die, they really die. Only after becoming a practitioner can he be given three chances of resurrection by the rules of the Nieno continent. This is also one of the reasons why Xue Qing, as a dude, will use resources to build himself up as a soldier-level practitioner.
And the upper limit is set there, three times. There is no way to increase the upper limit.
Although it is possible to replenish the number of resurrection consumed through various methods like the player, the number of replenishment also has an upper limit. That's three, nine, twenty-seven times. Regardless of whether it is the regular gift of the God-given Day once every ten years or the special pill supplement such as "Returning Soul Pill" like Xue Qing, there are only 27 chances of resurrection in his lifetime. Of course, this refers to the ideal state when the indigenous people have enough channels and opportunities to restore the number of resurrection.
The aboriginal practitioners of the city-state will die when they have exhausted the number of resurrection three times and cannot replenish them. Then they will be reincarnated from a mortal baby according to the reincarnation rules. And will completely lose all memories of this life. Of course, gender, appearance and even race will be brand new.
The players are different. Although Ning Yuan still doesn't know the specific rules, he understands the basic situation. After the player has the household registration, regardless of whether he becomes a practitioner or not, he will immediately receive five resurrection times, and the upper limit of the resurrection times can be increased to nine times through various methods. It is also possible to give unlimited resurrection times through special pill such as "Returning Soul Pill" and some special methods such as rules. .
Of course, like the city-state aboriginal practitioners, if the upper limit of the number of resurrection times is exhausted and there is no supplementary means, they will be forced to reincarnate by the rules. It’s just different from the aborigines of the city-state. The player will not completely lose the memory of his previous life, only a part of the insignificant part. Of course, Ning Yuan still doesn’t know this. I believe that the player as a whole will not lose it for a long time. Easily detect this change.
And the player's gender will not change after being reincarnated. As for appearance and race, if you don't want to, it will remain the same.
