Xidu is the territory under the rule of King Zhenxi, the capital of the West Pole Coast, and the most prosperous city in the west of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Adhering to the style of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xidu is also a square city. Each wall is more than twelve kilometers long, covering a total area of ​​more than 150 square kilometers, and has a permanent population of nearly three million. It is larger than the capital of the Lion Heart Empire, Karentis City, and it is also the second largest city in the Great Zhou Dynasty, second only to the capital Tiandu.

Moreover, compared with western cities and eastern towns, there is no habit of building inner cities or castles, and the main military facilities are on the periphery. The city walls are particularly tall, with huge fortresses built in the city gates and blind spots. Every section of the city walls will have towering towers and huge city defense equipment.

As for the city, it is also neatly planned in a square and neat manner, with six main roads across and vertically, like cutting tofu, dividing the Xidu city into forty-nine square blocks with a side length of less than two kilometers. Each has its own function. Some are religious sacrificial areas, some are civilian residential areas, some are official office areas, and four markets in the east, south and north. There are also comprehensive departments specially designed for the Magic Association, Adventurer Union, Warrior Guild and other world-wide organizations... And among all these areas, the most central part is Zhenxi Wangfu, which is equivalent to the imperial palace in Xidu!

Unlike the towering and sturdy design of the Imperial City of Karentis, the Xidu Zhenwang Mansion is surrounded by a moat, but the terrain is only slightly higher than the surrounding area, and the city wall is only more than ten meters high, which looks just an ordinary palace.

However, everyone knows that even if there are no high-walled towers, the sluts who want to invade Zhenxi Palace have to weigh their own weight.

…………

Showing relevant identity certificates at the south gate, passing through the thick wall, Zhao Qiankun and Helen finally walked into this majestic city.

"I originally thought Karentis was already very grand, but there was still something here!" Zhao Qiankun couldn't help but admire that due to productivity, the height of ancient buildings on Earth was limited, but there was no such problem in this world. The city walls and towers that were dozens of meters high, huge towers that were nearly 100 meters high were arranged in an orderly manner, with gorgeous architectural complexes, and huge statues and monuments on the square decorated this place into a dreamlike city.

"At that time, you could only see this kind of scenery in a fantasy game..." Zhao Qiankun looked at the passers-by with wide robes and big sleeves and the red brick and green tiles, and added: "It's still Oriental Fantasy!"

"It's really a beautiful city..." The little princess Helen couldn't help but exclaim: "It's even more grand than the imperial capital of Irion!"

"I'm even more curious now, what the legendary sky will look like..." Zhao Qiankun laughed: "When I find Xuelian, I must take me to the sky for a walk!"

"You guy, your mind is full of the one named Xuelian. Is she that important?" Helen pouted, feeling a little angry.

"Why, you have learned to be jealous before you grow your hair yet?" Zhao Qiankun joked with a smile: "Sorry, I'm afraid I'm the man you can't get..."

"I will be jealous of you?" Helen looked disdainful: "My future wishful husband is the best master in the world. Don't think that you can be arrogant just by knowing magic. If you dare to disrespect me at that time, you will ask my husband to deal with you!"

"The world's number one master?" Zhao Qiankun raised his eyebrows: "Isn't this what I mean?"

"Shameless!" The little princess stuck out her tongue at him.

"If you don't accept it, and find your sweetheart in the future, let him come and fight me!" Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "Of course, if you win, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is the best in the world, but if you lose, can you say that he is definitely not the best in the world? I can help you check it!"

"Okay, don't be beaten to cry!"

"When I find that no one can beat me, I'm afraid you will cry!" Zhao Qiankun said haha: "Don't live my life alone because of me, I will feel guilty!"

While quarreling, the two of them came to the South Market and found an inn to stay in. It was already very late at this time. Whether it was looking for Sheldon or Xuelian, it was tomorrow's business. After dinner, the two of them went back to their rooms to rest.

The little princess was already tired and soon fell asleep.

Zhao Qiankun was very energetic. He flipped through the notebook left by Xuelian in the house. After all, he had no intention of sleeping, so he simply went out for a walk.

The inn is located in the southern market of Xidu. Xidu has four markets, namely east, west, south, and north. Although they are all comprehensive markets, the measurement is different.

Among them, Dongshi is a distribution center for wholesale of bulk goods. Various large chambers of commerce have semicolons here. The transactions are large-scale transactions, mainly open to merchants;

In Taipei City, there are many collections of gold, silver, antique calligraphy and paintings, and there are many precious furs, rare beasts, etc. In short, they are all valuable things. And unlike the market where the tyrants are rampant, the here are all regular shops, and any item is priceless, and rare treasures will appear from time to time. Those who like to visit here are mainly rich dignitaries.

As for the western market, it is more similar to the market in the conventional sense. There are a wide range of products here, such as clothing stores, blacksmith shops, dried fruit food, children's toys, mules, horses and animals, etc.... There are all kinds of things in every door. Although there are also some high-end shops that sell precious goods, most of them are still afforded by ordinary people and are also the markets that ordinary people like to visit the most.

If ordinary people like to go to the West Market when they buy things, then if they want to relax and have fun, they will come to the South Market.

Because this is a place where various entertainment venues gather.

There are all kinds of casinos, brothels, wineries, and theaters. The streets are full of street artists who set up stalls and staged stages to make a name for themselves. In short, if the West Market is the market with the most products and the most complete variety, then the South Market is the most lively and joyful place!

Zhao Qiankun left the inn, and it was about eight o'clock, and the sky was completely dark. In ordinary small towns, there were few people on the streets at this time, but in Xidu, nightlife had just begun!

The streets are decorated with lights and colorful colors, like a festival. Some big deals even use magical devices to create gorgeous lights to attract business. Under the bright lights, drunken drunks, customers walking into brothels with a smirk, gamblers with excitement, and audiences entering and leaving the theater, forming the main components of pedestrians...

Zhao Qiankun walked on the lively and gorgeous street, looking at the colorful plaques beside the street, and the noisy crowds on the street felt like he was returning to the commercial street in his previous life...

"This lively level is no less than Carentis' New Year's Eve..."

As he walked, Zhao Qiankun was suddenly attracted by a noise. He turned around and saw a shirtless man flying out of the door of a shop. He fell to the ground and beat him twice. After getting up, he begged to the thug who threw him out at the door, "Let me play with him again, just one, how about it?"

"Still playing?!" the thug snorted: "You are losing even when you play with your pants. Go home quickly and do whatever you should do!"

The man wanted to beg, but was coaxed by several thugs. He hugged his arms and shivered away in the cold wind of February...

It turned out to be a casino! Zhao Qiankun looked at it and thought that the casino here was quite rules. Such a bad gambling man could leave a pair of pants. According to his impression, shouldn't he bet on the house and land until he lost his entire family?

Anyway, he was fine when he was idle, so he simply lifted the curtain in. The plaque at the entrance of the casino was not big, but it was very spacious inside. There were various ways to play and cards, and each table was surrounded by people. Many people were shirtless and shouting red. Although the latitude of the western capital was not high and the temperature in February was still a bit cool, there was a hot atmosphere in the casino that was comparable to midsummer.

"This brother looks at the old man. Is it the first time?" As soon as he walked into the casino, a friend came up to greet him: "How about it, come and play for a few games, it's fun!"

Zhao Qiankun smiled and nodded: "What's the fun of you?"

"That's a lot!" The guy led him past a table: "This is a bet on the big and small, this is a bet on odd and even, and this is a playing card, and there is a roulette over there... Each gameplay is different."

Zhao Qiankun looked around and found that it was basically all about luck. He shook his head: "A table is too chaotic. Is there any place to be cleaner?"

"Well..." The guy looked at Zhao Qiankun's slightly simple dress: "We are clean upstairs, but if we have to go upstairs, we have to exchange at least ten taels of silver for chips..."

"Oh, this is simple!" Zhao Qiankun directly took out a silver ingot of ten taels: "Help me change the chips!"

"Wow, the official is so generous!" The guy took the silver liang, his title changed, and he ran to the counter happily and exchanged a handful of chips for Zhao Qiankun.

Zhao Qiankun also played two games when he was in West Carlo State. The chips on the other side were as flat as coins, while on this side, there were polished long bamboo slices, painted in different colors and engraved with different amounts.

Zhao Qiankun, who held the chips, went up to the second floor under the guidance of his friend. It was indeed much more pure and the decoration was more exquisite than the first floor. Moreover, there were many more projects here that tested both technology and luck, so it was fun to play with this kind of thing.

Zhao Qiankun also came into contact with a lot of chess and cards in this world in the castle. Relatively speaking, he is better at chess that rely solely on his strength to distinguish the level of chess, but he is not bad at playing cards, and he turned a few tables and played a few games to try it out. I don’t know if he is really superb in card power or the casino fishing on purpose. In short, he wins more than he loses less, but he earns a few taels of silver.

While playing, suddenly the shout of a servant came from the entrance of the stairs: "Oh, you are here, you are such a distinguished guest. Today is so elegant. Please come upstairs, please go upstairs..."

Zhao Qiankun's ears moved, it seemed that a big man, the second son, had come? Could it be the playboy from a wealthy family?

Soon, accompanied by the sound of tiny footsteps, several guys, like stars holding the moon, greeted a pair of men and women.

The man looked in his early twenties, tall and tall, handsome, majestic, and elegantly dressed, but the materials were all first-class and worth a lot. He wore a purple gold crown and a large folding fan in his hand, looking very handsome.

The woman behind her looks like she was sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a short dress, her black and thick hair was neatly worn, and she had braids on both sides, fixed behind her head and spread out. She had a delicate figure and a pretty and cute facial features, but she seemed to have something to worry about, and there was a hint of worry between her eyebrows.

While going upstairs, the young master also introduced to the girl: "This is the most famous casino in Nanshi. I usually like to come here to play for a few times, but I don't allow me to tell my father!"

The woman curled her lips: "Don't worry, I'll tell you, I told him three years ago!"

The young master's expression was a little awkward: "You are well-informed!"

The moment he saw the girl, Zhao Qiankun's eyes straightened. It was really a place to search for something without any effort. He laughed and immediately went up to him and shouted, "Snow Lotus!!"

When the girl heard the shout, she was stunned and turned her head in disbelief. It wasn't Xuelian who was it!

"Hahaha!" Zhao Qiankun laughed and stepped forward, but was stopped by two strong men. Zhao Qiankun was about to attack, but suddenly remembered that this girl was a dignified princess, and it was normal to follow the bodyguards. So he didn't move, but shouted excitedly through the bodyguards: "I didn't expect that, I came to Dazhou to find you! I originally wanted to go to the royal palace to see you tomorrow, but I didn't expect that we would meet here tonight. We are indeed destined to be together hahaha!"

The moment he saw Zhao Qiankun, there seemed to be a surprise between Xuelian's eyebrows, but then he turned back to his indifferent look and glared at him: "You have recognized the wrong person. My name is Xuelian. My surname is Ji, Ji Hualian, and I am the Princess of the Lotus in the King of Zhenxi!"

"I care what princess you are!" Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "I have found it anyway!"

The young master who was standing beside him turned around and asked, "Little sister, is this your acquaintance?"

"I don't know you!" Xue Lian shook her head and said coldly to Zhao Qiankun: "I'll say it again, you admit it wrong! Maybe your friend looks very similar to me and has come to Dazhou, but that has nothing to do with me. And I also advise you to go back early. Dazhou is so big, you may never find her!"

After saying that, Xue Lian turned around and said to the young master: "Second brother, let's go, I'm not in the mood to play today..."

The second young master looked at Zhao Qiankun and smiled slightly: "Okay, listen to you!"

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Zhao Qiankun raised his eyebrows, suddenly jumped onto a table, took out a notebook, opened it and read it loudly: "Volume 1, Polar Dragon Slaying! In the northernmost part of the world, there is a continent standing at the end of the ice sea; it is cold all year round, snowy, the deeper it goes, the more life is rare; in the deepest canyon in the polar continent, stands a huge and majestic ice sculpture......"

What Zhao Qiankun read was the epic main text left to him by Xue Lian. Others could not understand it, so Xue Lian's face was flushed...
Chapter completed!
