Chapter 249: Holy City
In the central region of the southern continent, there are many cities on the great plains, and there is prosperity everywhere.
Because this is the jurisdiction of the high elves, the strong strength of the high elves has also made the surrounding cities develop very well.
Although the high elves have strong strength, they like to stay in their own territory and rarely contact other races outside, so the high elves have a feeling of decline.
Su Lun is sitting on the giant eagle guarding the holy city, and he can see the prosperous cities below from the sky.
Although he did not go into those cities to check the situation, it can be seen from the outside that the buildings in these cities are very solid, and the residents in the cities should not live too badly. The dukedoms of humans are not as prosperous as the cities here.
However, he also found a problem. Although the cities of the high elves are prosperous, they are not very developed and the productivity is very backward.
The history of the high elves has been tens of thousands of years, and the history of this world is also very long. In such a long time, science has not been developed.
This is something that Su Lun has always found strange. This world has extraordinary power such as blood. If blood can be carefully studied and the blood can be used to its maximum effect, the technological development of this world should be faster than that of Earth, but now the result is completely different.
"Perhaps it is because blood only exists in nobles in this world, otherwise there is no reason to give up the convenient ability of blood."
Su Lun guessed in his heart that if he did not want to get the extraordinary power of this world as soon as possible, he would also focus on developing technology.
With the method of fusing blood, the benefits of fusing blood are greater than those of developing technology. After obtaining the ancient blood, he may consider developing technology.
After a long time, Su Lun, led by the guards of the Holy City, finally saw the traces of the Holy City. There was a very magnificent tower there, which went straight into the clouds. This special tower could be seen from a long distance.
Many creatures with flying abilities surrounded the tower, giving people a very shocking feeling.
"That's the Holy City." Sina was so shocked that she couldn't speak as she looked in the direction of the tower. She had never been to the Holy City and had only heard about it in rumors. Now she was very shocked when she saw it.
They soon arrived outside the Holy City.
The Holy City was a city composed entirely of high elves, and there were high elves wearing jewelry everywhere. Sina's noble clothes looked a little shabby here.
The city was very large, and there were no guards on the road, but there were always elf guards patrolling in the sky on giant eagles.
The Holy City could be said to be very safe. Su Lun observed everything around him. With the current situation of the Holy City, it would be very difficult for other races to attack, or even impossible.
Su Lun also saw many tamed dragons and powerful creatures. The strength of this Holy City was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary elf cities.
They walked towards the interior of the Holy City. There were elves everywhere. Su Lun, a human, quickly attracted a lot of attention, but with the elf guards leading the way, they were not stopped.
The interior of the Holy City became much more spacious. Unlike the cities outside, only the elders and elves of noble status can live here, and ordinary elves can't enter at all.
When they were about to reach the Holy City Tower, Sina was also stopped.
Sina said to Su Lun: "I will wait outside the Holy City. Remember to find me when you come out."
Oris gave her the task of leading Su Lun to familiarize herself with this place, so she would follow Su Lun all the time.
Su Lun nodded and walked towards the Holy City Tower. Because the Phoenix King of the High Elves wanted to see him, only he could go there.
He followed the guards in front of him and went deep into the Holy City Tower. The interior of the tower was filled with elegant oil paintings and exquisite decorations, a bit like the court of a human king.
Su Lun was soon taken to a hall. There was only one elf wearing a special robe in the hall. He was wearing a crown and should be the Phoenix King of the High Elves.
"The human you are looking for has been brought here." The elf guard bowed his head and said something and left immediately, leaving Su Lun alone.
The elf man called the Phoenix King turned around. Unlike his handsome back, his face was covered with scars, which were wounds caused by swords. The wrinkles on his face showed that he was hundreds of years old and was already an old elf.
His pupils were slightly red, which was a little different from other elves, and he looked a little tired.
"Are you the human who entered the Shadow Realm to cut off the Shadow Realm passage?" The Phoenix King asked in a low voice.
Su Lun didn't know what the other party's purpose was, so he nodded slightly.
He couldn't tell the strength of the other party, but since the other party could become the Phoenix King of the high elves, his ability must be strong enough. Not every elf can sit in the position of Phoenix King.
The Phoenix King saw Su Lun nod and didn't speak for a long time.
He pondered for a long time before saying: "The Shadow Realm has spread its sphere of influence to the main plane, which is a disaster for the entire main plane, and many races in the main plane are still fighting for their own interests, but they don't know that the danger is already at hand."
He spoke very calmly, but Su Lun could see that he was very worried about the future.
According to historical records, the High Elves have always been an important force in protecting the main plane. However, as the High Elves have become increasingly weaker after several major battles, they may be unable to cope with new threats.
The Phoenix King then asked: "You come from a different world. Do you want to be a passerby or do you want to live in this world?"
He stared at Su Lun, his slightly scarlet eyes seemed to be able to see through people.
Su Lun was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party could even see this.
He has also come into contact with items from other worlds in this world, so there should be many visitors from other worlds in this world.
He thought for a moment and replied: "It's not decided yet. I may leave here when I feel it's appropriate."
Su Lun didn't know the other party's purpose, and now that he had been seen through, there was no need for him to continue hiding it.
The Phoenix King nodded and said: "Since you won't leave for the time being, you have the blood of the Shadow Realm. You can serve as a spy to investigate the situation in the Shadow Realm. I can exchange it with wealth or territory."
The war with the Shadow Realm is almost inevitable. If he wants to win the next war, he must make preparations in advance.
Su Lun found that the other party's thoughts were similar to his. In terms of strength, he might not be as good as the high elves in the Holy City. The only thing he could make the Phoenix King notice was his bloodline from the Shadow Realm.
However, the Phoenix King's performance also made him certain that no one in the entire world may have discovered the method of merging bloodlines. If the Phoenix King knew this method, he would definitely not come to him for help.
Suellen thought for a moment, he would not waste his time being a spy for the high elves, it would be a waste of his life.
But if he doesn't give a satisfactory answer, it may be difficult for him to leave this holy city.
Although the high elves pride themselves on being civilized and arrogant, when they encounter truly important situations, they do not care about their appearance.
Su Lun said directly: "I will not be a spy."
After he finished speaking, he saw some slight changes in the Phoenix King's youth. Although this change was small, it could be guessed that the Phoenix King did not like this answer.
He continued: "I can let your men also have the blood of the shadow world, which is good for both of us.",
The Phoenix King sneered. He thought Su Lun would say something.
"You want to turn us into dark elves? I shouldn't expect anything from you humans." He said coldly, looking very disappointed.
Su Lun was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He almost forgot that elves would turn into dark elves in the Shadow Realm.
He explained: "That's not what I meant. I can turn any living creature into the blood of the shadow world. You can find a species you trust. There is no need to turn the elves into dark elves."
He could provide bloodline crystals to the Phoenix King, so that he would not expose his method of extracting bloodline, and still get enough benefits.
The Phoenix King's expression changed slightly. He didn't really believe what Su Lun said.
He asked: "What do you mean?"
Su Lun took out a bottle of black-red blood from the space crystal. This blood did not appear to have anything special in appearance, but after a little testing, it was discovered that it was a blood crystal that could give people blood.
"Human merchants call this thing a blood crystal. It allows any creature to obtain the blood in the blood crystal. This is the blood of the Shadow Dragon."
Su Lun explained and threw the vial containing blood in his hand to the Phoenix King.
This is the bloodline he got from the Shadow Realm Demon Dragon. It is not very useful to him, but it can be used now.
The Phoenix King took over the bloodline, and the blood was filled with the power of the shadow world, which would be swallowed up by any light that shined upon it.
He knew this thing, so he asked Su Lun: "Only the ancient wise men can create blood crystals. How did you get this thing?"
This kind of thing is very rare. Even the lowest bloodline crystal can be sold to high-end. If what Sauron said is true, he can immediately use this bloodline crystal to create a spy with the bloodline of the shadow world. Shadow Realm combat is very helpful.
"You also know that I come from a different world, and I happen to have the ability to create blood crystals." Su Lun did not explain that he could create blood crystals as long as he mastered certain techniques, but attributed it to abilities, so that he could avoid the other party from getting benefits. Recognize people.
The Phoenix King naturally would not let go of the opportunity to get such a good thing. He continued to ask: "How many copies of this thing can you make?"
Naturally, he hopes to have as many of these as possible.
The high elves themselves have ancient elven blood, but as time goes by, this blood becomes weaker and weaker. Using this blood crystal, he can return the entire high elves to the grandeur of ancient times.
Su Lun thought about it after hearing this. He originally wanted to say that as long as he had the raw materials, he could create countless blood crystals, but this would make him lose his due value. What he couldn't get was the best thing.
He said: "I need a quiet place to make it. I can make three to five copies in a year, and I need the corpses of shadow creatures to make it."
For the current high elves, they only need a few copies to send their men to the Shadow Realm as spies, so he only said five copies at most.
"Very good, I will accept this blood crystal." As the Phoenix King said, a big bird flew in from the window, and the blood crystal was immediately taken away.
He continued: "I will try my best to meet your request. The blood crystal must be produced as soon as possible."
This was related to the future of the entire elven race, and he had to worry.
Su Lun laughed and said, "Before that, I hope you can fulfill your promise."
He took out a contract, which was the contract between him and Oris.
He had taken away all the information about the temple where Orris was, and now only the information about the Holy City remained.
This was his only purpose for coming to the Holy City. He could make the blood crystal at any time, but he had to get the information he wanted first.
The Phoenix King knew that humans would not do things without rewards, so he said: "I will ask my men to copy the information about the Holy City for you. The information that needs to be kept confidential is not included in the copying, and you cannot enter the library of the Holy City to check, but I can guarantee that the copied information will definitely contain the information you want."
He had investigated Su Lun when he asked Su Lun to come over, so he knew what information Su Lun wanted.
Su Lun nodded and said: "I hope you can do it as soon as possible."
As long as he could get the information, he would help the other party make some blood crystals.
The Phoenix King asked: "You said you want to make it in a quiet place, what does this quiet place mean?"
He didn't know if Su Lun had any special requirements, but he would try his best to meet them.
"A place where no one disturbs is best. Generally, more remote places are my goals." Su Lun responded.
Although the Holy City is very prosperous, it is where the high elves live, and he will only feel uncomfortable living here.
After he gets the information he wants, he will look for ancient creatures based on the information. If he can't find them, he must concentrate on studying the technology of this world.
The Phoenix King said: "Let's do this. There are different races living in the southern continent. There are also human kingdoms in remote places. Life there is a problem. You can take some gold coins to buy a title there."
In many places, titles such as earls can be bought and sold, especially in remote places. It is better to escape to developed areas as soon as possible than to be an earl in remote places.
Su Lun had no objection. He was once a noble and was more familiar with such things.
At the signal of the Phoenix King, the elf guards outside came back and took Su Lun to a garden to rest.
According to what the Phoenix King said, they will soon be able to record the information of the holy city. Su Lun only needs to wait.
The garden is filled with the fragrance of various flowers. The whole garden is very tidy. Because of the culture of the high elves, there are no servants in the garden, only managers who are responsible for management.
High elves do not like to recruit servants to drive themselves like humans.
