Chapter 293 – City and KingIn 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.
