Chapter 517 Abyss Ruins
After learning that Dugu Bo had connections with Notting College, Emperor Xue Ye was surprised and alert, but in the end he did not force it. He could only ask the rest of the people who remained in the city to step up patrols just in case.
The fifteen teams were ready to go to the finals.
Tianming City.
"Ok?"
After learning that Tianming City was the venue for the finals, Zhou Qing was stunned at first, and then tried hard to recall the plot he had read in his previous life, but he had forgotten all the details... It was just an online novel, why would he need to remember so many details?
In fact, what Zhou Qing didn’t know was that the reason why the finals of the original Continental Elite Tournament that the Shrek Seven Devils participated in was held in Wuhun City was because the top leaders of the Spirit Hall persuaded the two empires and insisted on holding it in Wuhun City.
The information Zhou Qing could find about the previous Continental Elite Tournaments was so vague that Zhou Qing had always thought that the finals of the Continental Elite Tournaments were held in Wuhun City. In addition, the Wuhun Palace had an extraordinary status on the continent, which made him neglect to look for information in this regard.
In fact, if the butterfly effect is not taken into account, that is the location for the next session.
However, this incident also gave Zhou Qing a reminder...
"Dean, is there any reason why the finals are held in Tianming City?"
"I asked Qin Ming, the leader of Tiandou Royal, and he said that the finals will be held in every main city on the continent, taking turns. This year it is Tianming City's turn. You know, many main cities haven't had their turn yet! This is also the first time that Tianming City has become the venue for the finals!"
Dean Notting was a meticulous person and had asked for relevant information in advance.
[Do they take turns? That makes sense. By expanding the influence of spirit masters on the people, they can subtly stabilize the position of spirit masters on the mainland. This will make it easier for the people to accept the rule of spirit masters after the Wuhun Hall starts an uprising in the future.]
Zhou Qing thought for a moment and realized that among the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall, there were still some people who knew something about the ways of herding people... Well, it could also be that the ancestors of the Spirit Hall had such insights, and today's younger generations are just implementing them according to the experiences left by their predecessors.
After all, from the fragmentary myths and legends, it is speculated that the Spirit Hall originally unified the continent, but it was only after being "punished by God" that it was transformed into an organization similar to Catholicism, but not completely, combining the nature of a sect...
···
Tianming City.
After nearly a month's journey, the fifteen academies arrived safely at their destination under the escort of nearly a thousand Royal Knights.
Tianming City, located on the southwest coast of Douluo Continent, is completely different from Hanhai City, which has a fishy and salty smell. The air has very little fishy smell, and there are few blue embellishments on the buildings. It has the same "Chinese style" as most cities in the Xingluo Empire, with countless pavilions and towers, and corridors scattered across the sky.
According to local people, the reason why Tianming City does not have such a strong fishy and salty sea breeze is because the ground where Tianming City is located is nearly a thousand meters away from the sea surface, so the sea breeze is naturally not easy to blow over.
After the fifteen academies entered Tianming City from the northeast gate, they came out from the southwest gate before they had time to take a close look at the scenery of Tianming City.
Two or three miles outside the southwest city gate is the vast ocean.
In front of us, there is an island shaped like a water droplet. The waves hit the black rock wall below the island, making a sound, and the long "tail" of the island is connected to the cliff outside the southwest gate.
Zhou Qing was certain that tens of thousands of years ago, the island must have been connected to the southwest coast, but due to the terrain, this place was beaten and eroded by the waves all year round, forming this special terrain with only a "water drop tail" connecting the coast.
Perhaps after some time, the Water Drop Island will really be disconnected from the southwest coast.
The road leading to the island was narrow at first, only allowing ten people to pass abreast. After a hundred meters, it gradually became wider, allowing twenty people to pass abreast. After another hundred meters, it became wide enough to allow fifty people to pass abreast.
Zhou Qing looked down and saw the waves rising and falling, hitting the rock wall below, as if they were going to blast through the island and make it truly independent from the mainland.
After entering the island, the knights of Tianming City were already there to greet us. The island was also quite large, with a diameter of more than several hundred miles. From a distance, it looked like a round platform, about five to seven hundred meters high.
In the outermost circle, there are rows of houses with smoke rising from the chimneys, but the strange thing is that there are mostly trees and mountains on the hillside, with no houses.
According to the mayor of Tianming City, this island is where the rumored ruins of the abyss are located. The outermost row of houses are inhabited by the guardian knights of Tianming City, who prevent residents near the mouth of the abyss from coming down.
All of a sudden, all the members of the academy teams, including the Notting team, became curious.
This was the first time that the finals were held in Tianming City.
Naturally, most of the students from these academies, and even the teachers leading the teams, came to Tianming City for the first time and didn’t know much about the situation here.
"Let's talk about it when we get to the mountain pass."
The Lord of Tianming City kept it a secret at first.
When everyone arrived at the mountain pass, they were shocked by the scene before them!
At the mountain pass, there is a concave circular area with countless houses scattered around.
In the center of the cave, there is a huge dark hole with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. It is filled with clouds and mist, and birds are flying. It looks deep and mysterious.
"This is the ruins of the abyss, Abyss."
The city lord introduced.
Abyss, in the mouths of the residents of Tianming City, means abyss.
Zhou Qing also discovered that the pronunciation of "Abyss" was very similar to the English word "abyss", but other strange names of people and places on the mainland, such as Romantina, Fastino, and Argentos, were closer to the accent of the common written language on the mainland.
[It seems that many customs from before ancient times should be preserved in Tianming City. ]
Going down the hillside at the depression of the mountain pass and entering the town, everyone was surprised to find that the residents living here looked quite cute and adorable.
how to say?
Almost everyone has a round face, whether old, young, or teenage.
Moreover, the faces of the white-haired elderly who need to use crutches to move are also full and round, as if time can erode their bodies and make their internal organs age like normal people, but it cannot cause too many wrinkles on their skin.
"Come to think of it, the residents here seem to be relatively short?" Tang San discovered that the tallest person he had seen here was only meters tall!
Moreover, those people were only about or meters tall and looked like children of five or six years old, but according to the information conveyed by the city lord, these people were already over twelve years old.
More importantly, this town is filled with all kinds of machinery and soul-guiding devices. The average level of the residents living here has surpassed that of Tianming City in terms of material aspects!
You know, Tianming City is a main city level city!
But the average level of quality of life is actually not as good as that of the residents of this town located in the recessed area on the edge of the abyss ruins!
It’s really unbelievable!
