127: Gathering information

Of course, at this moment, Xu Shian only had a vague idea in his mind.

This kind of thing requires careful consideration.

Whether it succeeds or not depends on whether the Engineering in the main city has the products he wants!

Anyway, with the strength of An Xixi and her group, just reaching the level cap will take ten days to half a month.

No rush, there is plenty of time!

Time spent chatting in the group always passes extremely quickly; several hours flew by in a flash.

At four in the afternoon, Wu Lun, who had been wandering around the city for several hours, returned.

"Boss..."

He started to say something but paused, causing Xu Shian to look up at him in confusion.

"Is there anything you can't tell me?"

"It's not that. It's just that the situation in this city is a bit strange, and I don't know how to describe it..."

Strange?

Now Xu Shian was interested.

After all, if there weren't something wrong with Yunzhou, Hu Zhihao wouldn't have made it his base for this lifetime when planning his future at the beginning of his rebirth!

"Then tell me about it from the beginning, in detail!"

Xu Shian took out some snacks, placed them on the table, and told Wu Lun to take his time explaining.

"Yunzhou is the fief of the Prince of the Southern Suppression of the East Dragon Empire, and the royal city is established in Canglan City!"

"The current Emperor of the Empire has been on the throne for 45 years and was supposed to rule for another fifteen years before abdicating. However, half a year ago, this world had a brief intersection with the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm launched a surprise attack on the Imperial Capital, and even His Majesty the Emperor was struck down, his life or death unknown. The Imperial Court therefore summoned the princes of the eight provinces to lead their troops to the Central Province to protect the capital!"

"Wait... hold on! How are there demons?"

Wu Lun didn't know what Xu Shian was so happy about!

"I heard that beyond the territory, there are also gods..."

"Then how could the Emperor of the Empire get beaten up? He's the Emperor... shouldn't it be reasonable for him to hide in the very back?"

Wu Lun was speechless...

This is all information I just gathered; who am I supposed to ask?

Can we please not get hung up on whether things are reasonable or not?

Xu Shian also knew he had said too much and gestured for Wu Lun to continue.

"Now there is no news coming from the Imperial Capital in the Central Province; it's as if it's cut off from the rest of the world. I guess no one expected such a thing to happen, so the position of the Prince of the Southern Suppression has remained vacant. Now, the several heirs of the Prince's Mansion have begun to amass wealth and prepare to recruit troops."

Xu Shian was stunned again, feeling a bit confused.

"Can this kind of thing even be found out?"

"After all, it's been over half a year, and the whole world has been in a state of panic in recent months!"

"How many heirs does the Prince's Mansion have?"

"Four heirs and two princesses!"

Princesses can also participate in the succession struggle? This world is truly insane.

"Are these six... going to fight each other to the death?"

Wu Lun was speechless. I just went out to listen to some gossip; I'm not even sure if this information is accurate...

Asking like that is a bit rude!

"I heard all of this while gathering information outside; I'm not sure if it's true or false! However... the credibility is quite high!"

Xu Shian nodded.

It seems that the Novice Village is still better; a pure land isolated from the rest of the world!

The truth cannot be false, and the false cannot be true.

These things will be known later!

Moreover, there is no smoke without fire, plus Hu Zhihao's planning for himself.

Xu Shian also needs to plan ahead!

Furthermore, from what Xu Shian knows, it's not just the East Dragon Empire; all countries on this continent and even other continents are in the same situation.

It's called a demon invasion, but it's more like a version update specifically prepared for players...

If it were just a game, this wouldn't matter.

But when combined with the current situation of the players, it makes one think and feel terrified!

Hundreds of billions of Blue Star citizens were thrown in here without any warning, and the ruling class of the continent's indigenous people are killed just like that...

"I heard that in the last three months, prices in Qixia Town have almost doubled..."

"Then which young master's territory does the Qixia Town we are currently in belong to?"

Wu Lun shook his head.

"It doesn't belong to anyone. Every major city has a city lord appointed by the former Prince of the Southern Suppression! The city lord of Qixia Town is named [Mu Feng]."

Xu Shian was stunned.

"Oh, so these eight major cities each have their own city lords?"

"That's right!"

"And they don't listen to the instructions of those young masters and young ladies?"

"How would we ordinary people know that!"

Xu Shian understood almost everything!

This is the beginning of the chaos in the world as recorded in the diary.

According to Hu Zhihao, the twilight of the empire can still last for about half a year!

By New Year's, if the Imperial Palace is still locked down, it will be time for the lords to vie for supremacy and for the world to descend into chaos!

Realizing that he could only gather this superficial information for now, the rest would probably have to be understood slowly later.

"Let's go! Let's go explore Qixia Town."

Xu Shian took the map and summoned Ink Shadow and Night Pupil to go out for a stroll.

He didn't know the rules of the city yet—whether pets were allowed out, and if so, what the requirements or specifications were...

Being new here, Xu Shian decided it was better to be safe.

After all, no matter how strong Xu Shian's strength is, this is no longer the Novice Village with a level cap of 40!

The NPC guards here are all level 60 entities. If ordinary guards have this kind of strength, then the officials behind them must be no worse.

Even if an ordinary level 60 couldn't beat him, what about level 60 Black Iron? Or Bronze?

Therefore, the necessary caution must be maintained.

Following the map, they arrived at the main square first!

The architecture in the main square made Xu Shian a bit confused!

"Church of Light..."

This place wouldn't happen to have the function I'm thinking of, would it?

He looked back at Wu Lun, who also had a confused expression!

This vast Qixia Town was not something he could figure out in four or five hours!

If you don't know something, ask!

"Church of Light?"

The passerby who was stopped looked confused.

"Isn't that it? Can't you see such a big church?"

"I wanted to ask, what is this place for? Prayer?"

The passerby was also dumbfounded by the question.

"What prayer? This is where Priests and Paladins come for class advancement and to learn class skills!"

Hearing this, Xu Shian couldn't help but be stunned.

Didn't they say... they only teach two class skills?

There was no one to answer the questions in his heart.

After hurriedly activating the recall point and resurrection point on the stone tablet in the square, Xu Shian began to ask where Summoners could advance and learn!

After wandering around the vast Qixia Town, he finally found the Summoner Association in a place called the Arcane District.

"Hello, I would like to ask how to advance to a Summoner?"

The entire Summoner Association was a four-story building with luxurious decorations inside. At the entrance was a counter, where a seventeen or eighteen-year-old female receptionist sat at the table, teasing a squirrel.

Hearing Xu Shian's question, she looked up in surprise.

With a wave of her hand, the squirrel immediately Vanished!

Xu Shian couldn't help but feel speechless; even this kind of purely ornamental small animal has a contract?

Xu Shian didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked!

These people have probably lived a good life for too long; they are all so relaxed and slack!

"Are you here to join the Summoner Guild?"

"Can I consult first?"

"Of course you can!"

He didn't know if it was because the young girl had a good personality or because she had been guarding this place alone for a long time.

The young girl's attitude was quite friendly, almost answering every question!

"Is this a place that provides the path to advance to the Summoner class?"

"Yes, Summoners advance here!"

"Are there any requirements?"

"Yes, you need to pass our detection crystal test to see if the skills you have learned meet the conditions for advancing to a Summoner!"

Xu Shian nodded and asked further.

"What kind of conditions generally need to be met?"

"You must have learned several core skills of the summoning type! Or having empty skill slots is also fine!"

"Then what if I don't meet the conditions?"

"Reset them! Those who can come here shouldn't be short of that little extra lifespan, right?"

Xu Shian was stunned. Thinking about it, it really didn't seem like a big deal...

Even if he spent all his life points to pass the trial, he could just go out and fight monsters!

Monsters all over the mountains and plains, Dungeons all around...

A living person won't be stumped by a simple problem, right?
