Chapter 547 - 547 The Fox Race Young Miss
If the frontier trade failed, the reputation of the Kingdom of Dawn and the Lord of Dawn would plummet and even become a laughingstock.
The prestige that the Kingdom of Dawn had built up with great difficulty would vanish in an instant.
“Don’t underestimate the Human race! It was said that there were many top powerhouses in the Human race. However, they could only be sealed in special grotto-heaven planes due to the restrictions of heaven and earth. Otherwise, the entire continent would not be in such a state. The Human race’s foundation isn’t as shallow as you think. In fact, it’s even deeper than you think. Their true power lies within the sealed grotto-heaven planes.”
The lady seemed to know a lot of secrets, so she said with deep meaning.
It was apparent that she had a deeper understanding of the secrets of this world, and what she saw was not just the surface.
“Who are you?”
Zhao Yun asked loudly from the city walls.
In the surroundings, a large number of archers and crossbowmen coldly looked downward, and their bows were nocked. If anyone had any ill intentions, they would immediately get a storm of attacks.
The existence of the frontier trade was also built on great strength. Otherwise, how could one guarantee the smooth progress of transactions and ensure that one’s interests would not be harmed? Strength was one’s confidence.
“This is our Fox race young miss, Hu Ling. She’s here to participate in the frontier trade! Why? Don’t tell me that everything you said before was a lie?”
A Fox race powerhouse asked loudly.
“Of course, you can enter. However, I need to warn you before entering. After entering the city, no one is allowed to cause trouble or use force. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences.”
The city gate was not closed. After getting permission, these people walked inside.
The young lady of the Fox race, Hu Ling, nodded silently. Without any hesitation, she passed through the gate and entered the ice city.
As soon as they entered, they felt a kind of cold air pervading the surroundings. However, this cold air was well controlled within an extremely good range, so it did not make people feel cold. Moreover, everyone was Transcendents, so a little bit of cold air would not affect them. On the contrary, it could keep them awake.
“Good lord! How did they build the buildings so fast?”
When a powerhouse from the Fox race entered, he saw the wide streets and the shops on both sides. Even though there weren’t many people, he could tell that the Human race wasn’t simple.
Hu Ling’s eyes flickered for a moment, and a look of realization appeared on her face for a moment. At the same time, a trace of shock appeared in her eyes.
“I see!”
When the Fox race cultivator behind her heard this, he asked, “Young miss, can you tell?”
“Yes, I can see it. But I’m also a little shocked!”
Hu Ling didn’t keep them in suspense. She looked at the buildings in the city and said, “It’s true that the Human race built a city in less than a day. It’s just that we can’t imitate the methods they used.”
“Why?”
“It’s simple. The Lord of Dawn used the Lord’s Cornerstone to build this city. He then upgraded the Lord’s Cornerstone to level 4 as quickly as possible. That’s how the prototype of the city is now. Finally, they poured ice water on the surface of the city and built ice bricks on it, forming the ice city that is used for both attack and defense!”
“Hiss…”
“The Lord’s Cornerstone? Why would such a treasure be wasted here?”
The Lord’s Cornerstone was a treasure that only a Country Lord could use. Others couldn’t operate it.
After the Lords who had submitted to Li Xiang offered up the Lord’s Cornerstone, their system interfaces were directly reduced to the Lord’s template, and they were no longer able to control the Lord’s Cornerstone.
Each of the more than 1,000 cities in the Kingdom of Dawn that were built with the Lord’s Cornerstone was personally set up by Li Xiang.
The Lord’s Cornerstone, like the city building order, had become one of the most precious strategic materials.
However, such a strategic resource was only available when the Country Lords first arrived. They were extremely difficult to obtain.
After all, once the main city was breached by the enemy, there was almost no Country Lord who would keep the Lord’s Cornerstone for the enemy. Only a very small number of Country Lords were willing to give their Lord’s Cornerstones up.
Otherwise, the Lord’s Cornerstone could only be destroyed and could not be taken away even if the main city was breached.
As a result, although many forces knew that the Lord’s Cornerstone was very precious, it was still hard to get them.
The Kingdom of Dawn could develop so quickly because there were too many human Country Lords who had pledged their allegiance to Li Xiang.
From the Trial Continent to the Myriad World Continent, Li Xiang had been accumulating the Lord’s Cornerstone in his hands. The number had long since exceeded ten thousand, and it was even close to twenty thousand.
Hence, he could build 1,500 cities so quickly to protect 150 million km of land.
Hu Ling understood this point and knew some basic information about the Kingdom of Dawn. She immediately realized the reason why the Lord of Dawn could rise so quickly was that countless people had offered their services to him and offered him the Lord’s Cornerstones.
Such a situation could only mean that the human Country Lords truly respected the Lord of Dawn. They were not coerced.
However, the more this was the case, the more shocking it was.
The 1,500 cities in the Kingdom of Dawn were enough to show the Country Lord’s prestige and status among the humans, not to mention how many more Lord’s Cornerstones he had.
“No wonder this guy could be recognized by the system with the divine name ‘Lord of Dawn’ not long after he arrived. This is the result of the recognition from the depths of the hearts of countless human civilians and Country Lords. It’s not because of how powerful the strength of the Lord of Dawn is.”
She revealed the information that she had sorted out to her followers.
After everyone heard this, they immediately fell into silence.
It was only then that they truly understood what kind of existence the Lord of Dawn was.
How could an existence that could make countless humans and the Country Lords respect him not be strong? That was impossible. However, since he could gain the recognition of so many human Country Lords despite his powerful strength, it might indicate some of the Lord of Dawn’s style and characteristics.
Hu Ling let out a breath and said softly, “This time, I’m going to get to know this Lord of Dawn. I’ll see what kind of charm he has that so many people are willing to serve him. He even has the extra Lord’s Cornerstones to waste here!”
The people behind her all revealed curious expressions.
“Hey, aren’t there the Barbarians?”
Suddenly, everyone noticed many figures on the street that was different from the humans. They didn’t notice it just now, but after taking a closer look, they realized that these were Barbarians who looked very similar to the Human race.
