466 There Is No Other Way but to Get the Green Card (1/2)
”We… are trapped here, aren't we?”
At the dinner table, while saying those words, Zhou Mumu boringly flipped over a fish with pearl-like color with chopsticks. However, before she could flip it over the second time, Wang Lu had already reached out and pushed away the chopsticks.
”Why are you flipping over the food for everyone with your chopsticks? Are you showing off the moral culture technique of Kunlun Sect called fragrant saliva? That's so disgusting!”
Actually, Zhou Mumu's action was driven by unconscious thoughts. Hearing such words from Wang Lu, Zhou Mumu immediately turned red and slapped her chopsticks on the table. ”I'm going to fast, are you happy now?”
Fortunately, Wang Lu's noisiness calmed down the restlessness in the girl's heart a bit.
”So…” Zhou Mumu opened her mouth again, ”What's next?”
”Since we're already here, let's do what the advisor said. We should familiarize ourselves with Zanarkand first, and then live in peace for a while.” While saying that, Wang Lu unceremoniously ate up the food on the table. The rest of the people at the dinner table had no appetite, so most of the remaining meal was gobbled up by Wang Lu.
”How could you still have the mood to eat?” Zhou Mumu said worriedly, ”And how long are we, humans, going to live in this demon race city?”
”Otherwise?” Wang Lu asked back, ”Do you want us to escape at night? Are you not afraid that we, the several old world visitors, would look too conspicuous? You have seen the power of Zanarkand yourself; even the city's advisor is already at Deity Stage level. Once they determine us to be suspicious objects, do you think we can escape?”
Qiong Hua also said, ”This matter does require long-term consideration. Acting rashly will only put us in danger. Moreover… I'm also interested in learning more about this city. Didn't we come to the demon world to explore its secrets?”
Since both Wang Lu and Qiong Hua had said so, then the matter was already tantamount to being settled. The five of them temporarily settled down in Zanarkand.
—
Early the next morning, sure enough, someone was sent by the city's advisor to be their guide. That someone was not an outsider, as he was the head guard of Zanarkand that found them first.
”Hahaha, we meet again!” That ink demon head guard was brimming with smile.
”I was in a hurry the last time, so I didn't have the time to tell you my name. I am Aba. The city's advisor sent me here to be your guide.”
Aba, after observing Wang Lu and the others, exclaimed, ”Our Zanarkand clothes really look good on you guys. When we found you yesterday, it's like we're unearthing cultural relics. But for us, old world people like you are actually not that different from cultural relics.”
As soon as he said that, Aba immediately froze, and then he slapped his head again and again. ”I am sorry, I have always been a straightforward person, it's not my intention to discriminate you. Because the city's advisor had repeatedly asked me many times that any discrimination is not allowed, hahaha!”
With that, Aba took the initiative to pat Wang Lu on the shoulder. ”Although you guys come from a remote backward old world, I'll bring you to adapt to the true civilized world in the fastest speed! Since you guys are the last survivor of the old world, then you guys should be talented. As long as you are willing to integrate yourself here, you will soon find your place. Trust me, by then, you will definitely fall in love with Zanarkand!”
With these words by the city guide, the following time was rich and fulfilling.
Although Aba was a straightforward person, he seemed to have extremely limited intelligence. But, as a guide, he was absolutely qualified. He was the head guard of Zanarkand, thus he was very familiar with every corner of the city. He led Wang Lu and the others to methodically explore the city and introduce the long history of Zanarkand.
From the description, Wang Lu had gradually sketched out in his mind the whole picture of the new demon world.
This was a place with a high degree of civilization. In the new demon world, there were at least twenty to thirty cities like Zanarkand. Of which, the most prosperous Central City was at least ten times bigger than Zanarkand… It was even bigger than Shengjing City in Nine Regions.
At the same time, talented people in the new demon world emerged in great numbers. The city master of Zanarkand was widely known as a great demon lord level, but he was not even in the top fifty of the most powerful individuals in the new demon world. The great demon king in the central city dominated everyone in this world with its near broken void level.
According to the records left from the great war of immortals and demons, the demon lord level of demon race corresponded to the Deity Stage Daoist Master. Great demon lord corresponded to Peak Deity Stage. Yet, it could not even reach the top fifty in the new demon world… Although it could not be concluded with this basis alone that this new demon world was stronger than Nine Regions, after all, it did leave a doubt in the heart of the people.
The truly amazing thing was that, the civilization of the new demon world was only established two thousand years ago. From the initial few survivors of the old demon world, all the way to the current thriving civilization, all happened in just two thousand years of time, which sounded really unbelievable. Because in the Nine Regions, even in the golden age where the civilization recovered the fastest, it could not be compared to these astonishing achievements of the current demon race.
And in regard to this matter, Aba proudly gave his answer.
”Because the inhabitants of the new demon world are completely different than the past demon race. We no longer waste our energy in frivolous strifes and infighting. Instead, we use all of our strength to build our homeland.”
”No strifes and infighting? Isn't that the Great Community1 of the World?” Zhou Mumu somewhat inconceivably asked. Because no matter in which record, the demon race people were famous for their internal struggles. Even in the battle for the five blood spirit crown, the battle between the five great demon forces was very fierce.
To say that the demon race people do not fight with each other was really a fantasy.
However, Aba was very sure. ”In the two thousand years of history of the new demon world, there has never been a war.”
