Monarch of Evernight: One Thirty-Six Thoughts

bsp;"Maelstrom?" In Qianye's impression, things about the empire seemed to be a distant memory. The impression left by the maelstrom was only that day's decisive battle in the Unfallen City. All subsequent accidents originated from this moment.

However, Qianye still remembers that the entrance to the maelstrom is not in a neutral place, and the opening time is quite limited. It was precisely in order to compete for the spot to enter the Maelstrom that the younger generation of the Empire and Yongye fought in the Unfallen City. But a long time has passed now. Logically speaking, the entrance to the whirlpool has long been closed, waiting for the next opening. Why did it suddenly become the source of war in a neutral place?

Song Zining knew that Qianye was confused, so he drew the distribution map of the continents and neutral lands on the paper, then slowly rotated it and said: "You know, the world we live in is not static, but constantly changing. Rotating. ”

This is common knowledge in the world. Qianye learned it when he was in the Huangquan training camp, but he didn't understand it very well.

Zi Ning continued: "What kind of world the Great Whirlpool is? So far, there is no conclusion. We only know that it is very different from our world, so there are many rare resources produced. Only two people can go to the Great Whirlpool. There are two passages, one disappearing and appearing, the one we competed with Yong Ye for the spot. The other one is in a neutral place, but it cannot be used at all."

He rotated the continental distribution map once and continued to explain: "When the entire world rotates once, it is possible that the first channel of the whirlpool will appear. Although it is not absolute, the probability will be much greater. And the Neutral Land This passage was unusable in the past, and only a few people managed to get out of it, but they couldn't explain why they were able to get out. Basically, there was no return for entering the passage, so both the Empire and Yong Ye should treat it like this. The channel does not exist. ”

After a pause, Song Zining's expression turned solemn, and he said: "But when I arrived at the neutral place, I felt that the surge of force here was a bit unconventional. After this period of calculation, I feel that this is a rare event that can only be seen in a hundred years. The tide of the Force is coming."

As Song Zining said this, he scribbled down large numbers and formulas on the paper as evidence.

Qianye was confused when he heard it, and he couldn’t even understand the big formula numbers. This knowledge is so profound that not many people can understand it even if they just listen to it, not to mention studying. It’s no wonder that throughout the ages, there have been very few people who are good at deriving heavenly secrets. It turns out that behind the scenes, I have to learn such difficult and obscure knowledge. You need to be both talented in cultivation and smart. You can imagine how many people there are who can combine both. It's no wonder that people who are good at deducing heaven's secrets are often good at military strategy. Even if they are not alone, they are also the strategists of big shots.

Song Zining knew that Qianye didn't understand, so he briefly explained the force tide. That is to say, every few hundred years, the force surge in the entire world will go through a cycle from high to low, and then from low to high, just like the tide of the ocean. Why this happened is a matter of controversy and no conclusion has been drawn whether the Empire has ever seen it or not.

The empire was founded only a short time ago, and it has not experienced many force tides since its founding. The lack of data makes it difficult to study. Although the Yongye side has a long history, because most of the major races only rely on instinct and blood power, their exploration of the world is not as systematic and systematic as the Empire.

As Lin Xitang inferred, the reason why the Force Tide is generated may be because the entire world is rotating around an unknown target, and one rotation is a complete Force Tide.

This conclusion was so shocking that few people within the empire believed it. The strong ones had already begun the process of exploring the void, but after flying over the edge continent, they faced an endless void, not to mention no end, not even a place to stop halfway. And whether there is still a place to stand in the vast darkness ahead, no one can tell. Even the Supreme Eternal Night Holy Mountain cannot see through this endless darkness.

The stars in the night sky look so close, but are actually so far away, so far away that it is heart-stopping and despairing.

No one in the imperial court cared much about Lin Xitang's hypothesis. In the eyes of the emperor and his ministers, this was nothing more than a conjecture. Even if it is true, it is not as important as Lin Shuai's record against the rebels in the West Continent. What's more, the empire and Yongye have been fighting for years, and many battles are related to the fate of the country. If the empire dies, it will prove that the earth under our feet is round. What’s the use?

For Qianye, what Song Zining said was too difficult and obscure, even more difficult to understand than the inheritance of the River of Blood. In comparison, it might be much easier to kill a marquis.

Song Zining did not expect Qianye to understand. After briefly explaining the principles of force tides, he returned to the topic.

We are currently at the trough of the tide of the Force, and it won’t be long before the Void Force will usher in the calmest period in hundreds of years. During this period, the Force storm in the passage leading to the maelstrom will also become much calmer, at least it will no longer be in a state that was absolutely impossible to cross alive before. If this is the case, then there will be a stable channel leading to the maelstrom.

Although relatively calm, the Force storm still exists. But there is no need to say more about the value of a passable channel. For this passage, Yong Ye and the Empire can start a new war. And this war will inevitably involve many forces in the neutral land, causing chaos.

Not long after arriving in the neutral land, Song Zining recruited Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan. On the one hand, they were to help Qianye, and on the other hand, they were also laying the groundwork in advance. If the incident about the passage was true, then what would happen between Yong and Yong? He took the upper hand in the battle for the night. This is also the reason why Song Zining went against the norm and did not take root in the Northern Continent and develop silently, but chose to establish himself in Nan Qingcheng, the place of the Fourth Battle.

Qianye listened silently and asked after a moment: "Do you think I am still suitable to fight for the empire?"

"You can't stand on Yong Ye's side, can you?" Song Zining said with a smile.

Qian Ye stood silently, and Song Zining's smile became more and more forced, and finally stopped smiling and let out a long sigh.

Qianye finally said, "Why not? You should have felt it just now. My blood energy has far exceeded the force of dawn. By the standards of the vampire clan, I am already a marquis. Now it is getting harder and harder for me to Controlling the development of blood energy, maybe one day, blood energy will completely overwhelm the force of dawn, and then I will be a vampire."

"What else?"

Qianye hesitated and said: "Also, if...she eventually returns to Yongye and wants me to go there, I will go too."

"Can you?"

"Of course... yes."

"Forget it." Song Zining was unceremonious, patted Qianye on the shoulder, and said: "Is it really a good thing for her to return to Yongye? You should know this better than me."

"Empire..." Qianye smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I understand, you don't want to fight for such an empire."

Qianye took a long breath and said, "Indeed."

"Me too, but there is no other way. When it comes to war, how can we just sit back and do nothing?" Song Zining also smiled bitterly.

"This will only continue the current empire. Does this really make sense?"

"Whether it makes sense or not is a matter for the future, but what we have to do now is what we have done. If we don't fight this war, can we still escape? We have all hid in a neutral place."

Seeing that Qianye still looked depressed, Song Zining laughed and said: "Anyway, we have to fight, or we have to fight. Who allowed this passage to appear in a neutral place?"

Qianye snorted and said, "I'm not interested. The worst I can do is go to Hokuriku to hide."

"Really don't want to fight? There are sea lotus in the maelstrom!" Song Zining smiled with a treacherous look on his face.

"..." Qianye could only snort loudly to show his dissatisfaction.

When Qianye opened the door and left, Ji Tianqing's voice sounded next to him, "Are you so sure?"

This eldest lady had been hiding in the inner room. With her ability, Qianye was naturally unaware of it.

Song Zining sighed softly and said: "Don't look at what he said. When the fight actually starts, he will know that we are also on the battlefield, so he will naturally come."

"It's not us, it's you." Ji Tianqing said.

"No, it's us. Even if it's just you, he will still come."

Something seemed to flash in Ji Tianqing's eyes, and she suddenly slapped Song Zining on the shoulder hard, almost knocking him to the floor, and said: "Next time you do something bad, make your voice louder, so that this lady can't hear you clearly. ! ”

After saying that, before Song Zining could stand firm, she disappeared from the spot.

Song Zining gasped in pain and finally managed to stand still. He snorted and said to himself: "Damn girl, you are so harsh. Do you think I can't see what's on your mind?"

The following January was uneventful.

Under the seemingly calm situation, there are also many unusual things. In Nanqing City, the flow of people and goods has increased suddenly, and the streets that were originally very congested often become blocked. While people cursed the traffic jams, they rejoiced in the increasingly heavy wallets.

As material resources continue to pour into the city, the construction speed of various workshops has greatly increased, and new workshops are completed almost every day. For businessmen, time is gold. Once a workshop is completed, it will lose a day if it is vacant for one day. Therefore, almost every business house is recruiting craftsmen on a large scale to prepare for the workshop that is about to be completed.

The industrial system in Nan Qingcheng has begun to take shape, and almost an entire floating battleship can be built here. Anyone who is not stupid has seen the huge business opportunities ahead, so they have increased their investment again. New investment means more people and more materials, thus accelerating the cycle even more.

As massive wealth gathers in Nan Qingcheng, how to protect the security of this wealth has become an important issue. In the face of real gold coins, the power of Guanlan and Tingchaocheng became no longer important, and even the intimidation of King Zhang Tian was invisibly diluted a lot. When Song Zining proposed to expand the army to prepare for war and build fortresses and turrets, all the trading houses strongly supported it and contributed money and efforts. They did not feel that there was anything wrong with Song Zining's plan. In their view, the more troops the better, even if the scale of the troops has threatened Tingchao and Guanlan City.
