Once upon a time there was a Nine Absolutes Gate

Chapter 4 Yanzhou Yan Village
The speed of the flying monster is extremely fast. Even if ordinary people take six or seven months to travel in a horse-drawn carriage, it only takes a few hours to reach.

Therefore, when Huanyan arrived in Yanzhou, the sun was still very strong.Converted according to China's 24-hour system, it is about fourteen o'clock at most.

After the flying monster reached the edge of Yanzhou, put down its happy face, it turned back and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

"This flying monster is really a good thing. Its speed is not slower than that of an airplane. No wonder only the royal family or nobles can afford it, and it's expensive!" Huanyan slammed her mouth and walked forward along the dirt road.

It was on the back of a flying monster before, although it was very fast.But because of the high altitude, the visibility is good.When passing through some big states and cities, Huanyan observed carefully.

Basically, most cities are developing quite well, and many cities are very lively and full of people.This made Huanyan look forward to it even more, what kind of scene would Yanzhou that she was about to rule be like?

"I didn't expect this Human Sovereign to be so generous to me? Send me a piece of the Land of Abundance?" Thinking of the outline of Yanzhou seen in the sky before, Huanyan couldn't help but feel hot.

Yanzhou is located in the southwestern part of the Human Emperor Continent. According to the Earth's climate, it has a subtropical humid monsoon climate, that's right.This climate is roughly the same as the climate of Chengdu, Sichuan, the land of summer in China.

In addition, Yanzhou is a huge basin, not only surrounded by mountains, but also endless!Only in the east is a canyon about 30 meters wide and more than [-] meters long for entry and exit.Yanzhou is definitely an important place for military strategists!If the world is in chaos, Yanzhou will definitely be one of the rare pure lands.

The geographical conditions are superior, the terrain is dangerous, and the mountains stand tall, and the natural resources are bound to be extremely rich.

In Huanyan's eyes, this is definitely a rare treasure land, but the Human Sovereign, who originally wanted to kill herself, would actually give away this treasure land, which made her puzzled.

An uneven dirt road leads from Yanzhou Canyon to the outside world. At this moment, Huanyan is heading to Yanzhou along the dirt road.Passing through steep, steep and tortuous canyons, the vision suddenly opens up.

"Yanzhou...is indeed a place equivalent to the Land of Abundance," Huan Yan couldn't help but sigh.

The world in front of me is lush and lush, with birds singing and flowers fragrant.From time to time, some small animals appeared in the grass, and they ran away quickly when they saw strangers.On the treetops, various birds chirped.It is the end of March, which is the season of late spring and early summer.At this moment, all kinds of plants in Yanzhou are full of vitality, and everything is so beautiful.

"The air here is much better than that of the earth." Breathing the fresh air, he was happy and relaxed.Due to the excessive development and destruction of the earth, the air quality has already deteriorated to a certain level.The Human Emperor's Continent is relatively primitive, especially the natural environment of Yanzhou is extremely well preserved, and the air is naturally extremely pure.

But as he walked, Huan's face changed suddenly.

"It's not right."

"The land of a state, and the only place to enter and exit a state, why is no one guarding it?"

"And the only way in and out, the road that symbolizes the face of a state, is actually a bumpy dirt road?"

There are no such things as cement and asphalt in Human Emperor's Continent, but generally speaking, the more important roads are paved with stone slabs, and they are definitely not this kind of potholed dirt road.

"Sure enough, did you still get posed by Louis?"

A moment ago, Huanyan couldn't understand why Louis would give such a treasure to herself.But now, Huanyan understood: "If I guessed correctly, there is absolutely no one here!"

A bachelor lord has a bird?
Facts have proved that there are still people in Yanzhou.

After walking along the dirt road for half an hour, Huanyan found a village.

A dilapidated village with about a hundred households. Fences that can't even guard against a wolf stand around the village. Almost all the houses are almost thatched huts. Where is it, there is only a lean dog lying on the side, which is regarded as a sentinel?
……

The happy face at this moment is extremely exciting in my heart.

I thought I was lucky enough to become the lord of the Land of Abundance, and that was indeed the case.But it turns out that there are almost no people in Yanzhou...

Just when he was almost desperate, he found that there were still people in Yanzhou.

"Although it is a dilapidated village that hardly knows when it will be destroyed, as long as there are people, it is always good." Huanyan said to herself.

"With the means of the Nine Absolute Sect and Yanzhou's incomparably rich resources, as long as there are people, it can develop!"

Huanyan gritted her teeth, dusted off her body, and entered the village.Surprisingly, the earth dog didn't move at all, it just stared at the person in front of it and ignored it.

After entering the village, Huanyan finally saw real people in Yanzhou, that is, the villagers of this small village.

But these villagers are all dressed in rags and are very thin, and most of them are women, children and the elderly. There are no adult men, but most of them are injured or even disabled...

The villagers look like beggars...

But there is one thing that makes Huan Yan very kind, that is, the villagers here are all black-haired and black-eyed!That is, the so-called low-level people in Human Emperor's Continent.

You can see people of yellow race here, and Huanyan feels hot in her heart.But seeing them live so miserably, his eyes became sour.In this Human Emperor Continent, which is full of white people and the yellow race is almost extinct, they are relatives!
The villagers are very wary of outsiders, and soon after Huanyan entered the village, he was surrounded by people.The women held sticks and looked resolute, asking who was coming.

"I am Huanyan, and from now on, I will be the lord of Yanzhou."

The women were surprised, and then someone left, and an old man was brought after a while.

"Old Baishi, the head of Yan Village, do you dare to ask if you call yourself the Lord of Yan Province, do you have a letter of appointment?" The old man's face is pale, but his body is still strong. Maybe he is the strongest person in this village right now?

Huanyan handed the letter of appointment to the village chief, who glanced at it and gave it back to Huanyan, sighing, "Oh, the empire still remembers Yanzhou, and the so-called inferior race that was almost wiped out?"

Then, the village chief turned his head and said to the women: "The letter of appointment is true. This is the new baron of the empire - Huanyan, and also the new lord of our Yanzhou. Everyone, go back and bring some food for dinner. Meet the wind for the lord."

The women were immediately unhappy, but they didn't say anything, and then returned to their homes in twos and threes.

"My lord, please follow me." The village chief led Huanyan towards the center of Yan Village. At the same time, he also explained the origin of Yan Village to Huanyan.

"Yanzhou, originally there were no people. But more than [-] years ago, we, the so-called lower races, encountered a catastrophe of extermination, were rejected by the world, and even killed. In the end, the Human Emperor actually sent troops to encircle and suppress it."

"We are aggrieved, we are angry, but what's the use? In the end, we can only escape and linger on."

"In the end we fled to Yanzhou, but there were less than [-] of the tens of thousands of people who fled. But the pursuers still refused to give up and wanted to destroy our family! Finally, there was a powerful clansman who brought the treasure of the clan, Fight a bloody road with the only remaining warriors, and before dying, dedicate the treasure to the Emperor, and get the Emperor's promise."

"No more encirclement and suppression of lower races, hehe, lower races."

"We finally left a glimmer of hope. But the people who survived were all disheartened and decided to live in Yanzhou and never leave. Establish a Yan Village in Yanzhou, isolated from the world."

"Our soldiers all died in battle one after another. The rest are ordinary people who can't cultivate."

"On the way to escape, many ordinary people were seriously injured, and they died one after another shortly after arriving in Yanzhou."

"In the end, less than 2000 people survived, but the death has not stopped. Yanzhou is not suitable for crop growth. The mountains and rivers are dangerous, and there are many ferocious beasts, and there are even monsters."

"Because we are ordinary people, hunting wild animals and obtaining food is very dangerous for us! And in the hunting again and again, most of the adult men died and became disabled."

"Many women's husbands have lost their husbands, many children have lost their fathers. There are orphans, old people, children."

"We have fewer and fewer people. Until now, boys over the age of 15 have to go to the mountains to hunt, but what kind of hunting can those children do? It's almost as good as dying."

"There is no way! If you have nothing to eat, you will starve to death. Even if you go up the mountain to pick wild fruits, you will still risk being attacked by wild animals."

"Yan Village? The population is less than [-], and the family will be wiped out at any time. If it weren't for those monsters, they would hardly go down the mountain..."

"But no matter what, since the empire has issued a letter of appointment for you to be the lord of Yanzhou, we must obey." The old village chief said helplessly: "Because Yancun can't stand any more troubles. If the empire is dissatisfied again, then The extermination of the clan is just around the corner, and now it looks like this, at least it can survive for a few days."

After finishing speaking, the old village chief took Huanyan to a wooden house, turned around and left, and after walking not far, the old village chief stopped and said slowly: "This is the best house in the village, and the lord will live here from now on. Well, I hope the lord will see that we are both inferior races...don't make things difficult for me...when it gets dark, please go to the entrance of the village to enjoy the dinner."

After all, the old village head wanted to leave.

"Wait." Huanyan lifted her foot and walked towards the wooden house.

"Old village chief, the first thing I want to tell you is that we are not inferior races."

"Secondly...everything will be fine."

"There's no need for a dinner party..."

crunch...

The wooden door closed, and Huan Yan's words stopped immediately.

"Okay, my lord." The old village head shook his head and left: "Is everything going to be alright? Hope~"
