C293 – City and King

Posted on October 24, 2018 by AzureOrchid92

In their sight was a sea of sand. The sand dunes formed by the gale stretched far into the distance.Looking around, they did not see any vegetation, and there were only rocks of different sizes exposed and a variety of strange forms formed under the eroded sand.

Shao Xuan looked at the head on top of the thin neck of the alien-looking rock. This kind of stone would be enough for a place to stop at before they collapse.

After half a day of trekking, the team rested on the shade of these rocks to keep out of the hot sun.

If you lay an egg on the ground at this time, it would be mature immediately.

“Where did the man from the Mang tribe say we were going?” The question came from Tuo.

“The Luoye City,” Shao Xuan said, “It’s a slave owners’ turf.”

After two days in the desert, Huang Ye finally told Shao Xuan where the destination of this trip was. Before, Shao Xuan repeatedly asked but failed to get a reply. He only got one sentence “You’ll know it in time”. Then, on the way, Shao Xuan and the other two could obviously feel the rejection of the others. It seemed that this time, they just let them join, and were not arranged in the plan.

In particular, the people of the Tian Shan tribe were not only guarding against Shao Xuan and the two, but also with apparent hostility. They often had arrows pointed at Shao Xuan’s group, and there were several times the two sides almost fought.

The other tribes had elders to inform them of relevant information, but only the three of them were from the Flaming Horns tribe so no one could tell them more things. Even if Qu Ce and some members usually chatted with these three people, they dared not talk about this.

Now, finally, it was time to go to a place called “Luoye City” which was under a slave owner’s territory. The person who had been tight lipped before has been able to reveal more things and spoke freely.

Some people in the team had their head high in the face of these three people from the Flaming Horns tribe, probably feeling like they were city intellectuals facing the country bumpkins.

The concept of “city” was quite unfamiliar to the people of the Flaming Horns tribe. In their knowledge, they only know the concept of a tribe. As for a “city”, it was blurred, and if there was no Shao Xuan to explain, Lei and Tuo would now be confused.

“‘City’, I really want to see how it is compared with the tribe. Which one leads.” To Shao Xuan, they asked, “Who’s the biggest in the city? The chief?” Lei asked.

“No, I heard it was the slave lord.” Tuo said.

“‘Lord’ is how the slaves call their owner, but not the others.” Lei corrected Tuo.

“It is the King, the highest ruler in the city calls himself ‘King’.” Shao Xuan said.

From Shao Xuan’s knowledge, there were several slave owners in this desert. With his men all over the place, every slave lord has his place that was called a “city”, not what the others knew as the “tribe”.

It was a matter of principle that the slave owners and tribes cannot coexist peacefully, but there were always a few special places to live.

The Luoye City was the most special one among the desert cities.

In the past, the “king” of Luoye City was also a slave lord who hated the tribes very much. Generation after generation, the ruler of Luoye City was changing, and the style of the city was also changing.

The biggest change happened twenty years ago.

A former Luoye City king, because of his lasciviousness, robbed a lot of beautiful female slaves, leading to a bunch of sons and daughters.

Originally, under normal circumstances, a slave owner could only inherit the powerful abilities of his parents if he was a descendant born from both slave owners. Because of this, many slave owners did not take the descendants of those slaves as the same thing. They threw them into the pack as slaves, until 20 years ago, when there was a strong counterattack.

The man who had attacked fully inherited his father’s ability. He was gifted, even stronger than his father after adulthood. Later, the attacker killed not only his slave father, but also the queen of the slave lord, together with his half-brother who was about to inherit the throne.

The man who had startled the people, was now the highest ruler of Luoye City, the lord of all the slaves of Luoye City, becoming the king of the city.

In hearing these, Lei and Tuo were extremely puzzled, probably because these did not accord with their views. In the Flaming Horns tribe, even if there was competition, fighting to kill was seen in such bad form, let alone if it was with a brother by blood. However, that was how it was in other people’s homes. Besides, their chiefs have not found so many generations of descendants that came, and the Shaman was also watching.

“The Luoye King should be the best one among the slave owners? Then, it would be impossible for the tribe’s people to enter the city.” Tuo said.

“We havd to go to the city and see.” Shao Xuan said. He did not think that the Luoye King, who had chopped off his father and siblings, would have a different view of the tribes. Most likely, he was using the tribes to rival the other slave owners. After all, a shock that made countless jaws drop from that attack was quite high compared to the price paid.

“Go, move towards Luoye City!” Lei looked at the men who were getting up too.

After the team set off again, it took another two days. Sometimes they could not find a suitable place to rest, so they directly stayed in the desert. They have also encountered some desert beasts during their night activities. The team lost four people, dragged into the sand and could not be found.

On their fifth day in the desert, the team went ahead under the sun. Compared to those travel teams Shao Xuan once saw, this team was the most abused.

Hot and dry air blasts swept over the boundless desert.

The atmosphere was windy, the whirlwind turning.

Meanwhile, the sand was blown into sand dunes.

Not far from the high hillslike mountains, some grains of sand were blown up and blown across the ridge.

They did not know how many years the main body of such tall dunes had existed. Perhaps hundreds of years, thousands of years, or possibly longer.

“Look, there’s someone over there!” Not just one shouted aloud.

Looking over, they saw that on a tall hill in the distance, a group of people were on the ridge, riding on top of a camel.

“Who are those?” The slaves of that city?”

“I can’t see clearly, so I don’t know if it is that city, but look at the direction they’re going, it should also be Luoye City?” someone said.

“Don’t worry, keep going, we’re almost there,” said one elder.

When they encounter slaves, as long as those slaves did not take the initiative to look for a fight, these people would not move freely. They have to save their energy, since they did not want to spend more of their strength to deal with those slaves.

As he went on, Shao Xuan found that the team was walking in the same direction as their side, and that the camel he was holding was beginning to get excited.

“Is this the same of their kind?” Shao Xuan pulled the slightly excited camel, and did not let it dash forward.

There seemed to be some other smell in the air as the wind drifted over. The camel next to him was more agitated, and seemed to want to run over with its hooves, not in the general direction of the team, but directly towards the front.

“Is Luoye City near?” Lei also smelled the other scents in the air. Because of frequent hunting, his nose was very sensitive to changes in some smells.

In addition to the smell changes, there were some sounds.

Over a hill again, Shao Xuan saw the destination of their trip—Luoye City.

At this time, the sun has been slanting, setting towards the ground.

The orange sunset shone above the vast desert, and in front, there were large tracts of leaves with almost the same color as the sunset.

Orange trees, an orange sunset, and a desert city stained by the sunset.

It was said that the most abundant trees in Luoye city was the sunset trees. It was named so because the color of its leaves was similar to the sunset, and it never changes colors regardless of the seasons. Even the sign of Luoye city was the sunset tree.

Sunset trees were said to last for thousands of years without dying, thousands of years not decaying nor falling, thousands of years and still immortal. It was unknown if it was really the truth though. However, in the sights of the city, there were indeed large tracts of sunset trees, and seeing these trees made people feel cool. After being in the desert for so many days, except for sand and stone, the travel team could now see so many rare plants.

In addition to the sunset trees, there were some unknown grasses in the city. Although not many, but it does exist, hence, it was no wonder the camel next to Shao Xuan was so excited. It was aware of the food.

Standing on the sand dunes and looking over at Luoye city, they could see that there was a tall building in addition to the trees with the same colors as the sunset.

Underneath the building was a huge block of rock like a pyramid, and a house was built above it.

“The highest place in Luoye city is the place where the king resides,” an elder from the Hui tribe said.

Note: Uh.. I haven’t been updating lately.. because I’ve started reading a few Manhuas.. (＾ω＾)
