Monarch of Evernight: The Fifty-Two Changes

bsp;After all, this is not a good thing for Nighteye, at least it means that in the eyes of the Black Wing King, Nighteye is not the most qualified heir.

A vampire girl asked in confusion: "His Royal Highness Ye Tong is a native species. Is there anyone with more pure blood than Your Highness?"

As soon as this question came out, the hall suddenly became quiet. Many people have actually thought about this problem, but no one is stupid enough to say it.

The original species means that the awakened bloodline is the bloodline of the ancestor, which is the bloodline closest to Anduya. Even the descendants first embraced by the monarch himself cannot compare with the original species. Among the younger generation of the Monroe clan, there is only one native species, Nighteye. Looking at the entire vampire clan, the number of native species is only a handful, but the bloodlines they have awakened are far inferior to Nighteye.

Even among the thirteen second-generation ancestors, the black-winged king Andua has the highest combat power. But now, another blood descendant with Andua bloodline has appeared. In this way, Night Eye is no longer unique, and its value has also changed subtly.

Although Nighteye was standing in front of the window, he had already listened to the discussions of the young vampires behind him. After hearing this, she should have been worried or thinking about her future, but for some reason, Qianye's figure appeared in Yetong's tired heart.

She smiled bitterly and pressed her forehead against the cold metal edge of the porthole. The war in Yongye Continent has subsided, and Blackstream City seems to have not been included in the attack target in the end. So, is he okay?

The airship crossed the void and gradually flew towards the Twilight Continent. Nighteye looked at the continent that had occupied the entire porthole, and his mood slowly calmed down, sinking that figure into his heart.

The last part of the journey was exceptionally peaceful. Qianye did not encounter any obstacles and arrived at Youcheng smoothly.

This is a steel-style fortified city, with a city wall that is twenty meters high, and the walls are actually studded with thick steel plates. Although steel is not valuable among metals, building a steel city is still a big deal.

The most eye-catching thing from a distance is the heart of the human city: the Perpetual Moving Tower. Youcheng has six permanent moving towers, five of which are built around the city, guarding the towering central power tower.

A huge airship floats over the city, with its head and tail nearly a hundred meters long. From a distance, it looks like a small floating fortress. The aerostat was not flying. There were several arm-thick iron cables hanging from its bottom to fix its position.

Qianye looked around and saw that there were two aerial cannons, several anti-aircraft machine guns, and several long-distance telescopes pointed in different directions just visible to the eye on the aerostat. Even though he was used to seeing the cutting-edge ordnance of the Red Scorpion headquarters, he couldn't help but marvel at Youcheng's courage, actually fixing an aerostat as a watchtower and firepower point.

The city gate of Youcheng is a steam-driven track metal gate. It is now opening time. Half of the city gates on both sides are submerged in the city wall. Even so, the width of the passage in the middle for carriages, horses and pedestrians is already wider than that of Heiliu City. The size of the city gate. When Qianye passed the city gate, he discovered that the gate was not one floor, but made up of five overlapping metal gates.

Youcheng has a large population and is located on the border, but there are no traces of war in the city. The streets are wide and clean, and the eaves of many buildings are exquisitely decorated. From time to time, there are gorgeous works that make people's eyes shine. .

Qianye walked along the street towards the city center, and the buildings that caught his eye gradually became taller and more majestic. Among them, there were more and more retro-style buildings, with carved metal beams and columns mixed with stone brick walls. A unique sense of beauty. He saw a seven-story restaurant, a company headquarters hundreds of meters high, and a grand square that could accommodate thousands of people.

After entering the central area, many shops appeared with the emblem of the Yanyun Zhao family on their shop signs. Whether it's a restaurant or a gun shop, they all have one thing in common: the exterior is carved and decorated, and the interior is extremely gorgeous, making them stand out even on this bustling street.

The clothes and colors of people walking around in the central city are obviously different. Travelers like Qianye who have traveled a lot are rare.

Qianye walked around the neighborhood and found a mid-range hotel on the edge of the central city to stay. The house price was several times higher than that of Weiyang, the largest city in Yongye Continent, which made him secretly speechless.

Although this hotel can only be considered average in Youcheng, the maids are all quite pretty. Qianye found the room, put away his things, took a pleasant bath, and then threw himself on the soft big bed. After a long period of escape and fighting, this place is simply a paradise.

Qianye closed his eyes, took a nap, jumped up from the bed, looked at the facilities in the room, and pulled a tasseled sling hanging from the head of the bed. A bell at the other end of the hotel rang cheerfully.

After a while, there was a knock on the door and a soft voice came: "What are your orders?"

Qianye opened the door and said to the maid: "Bring me a map of Youcheng, and then bring in three meals."

The maid's eyes lit up when she saw Qianye's face clearly, and she smiled charmingly, "I will prepare it for you immediately! In addition, if you want to visit the city, I can act as a guide."

Qianye did not make any unnecessary response, and the maid was not disappointed either. She gave him a still charming look and withdrew. After a while, the map and food were delivered to the room. Qianye ate and drank enough. After studying the map for a while, he finally found the goal of his trip: Jinxi Casino.

It was still afternoon, so he simply took another nap to recuperate his energy and adjust everything to the best before he packed up his equipment and left the hotel.

Night has fallen in Youcheng, the streets are brightly lit, and there are no fewer pedestrians than during the day.

Qianye hurriedly walked towards the Jinxi Casino. The casino was close to the central area and was a three-story building. Although its appearance was splendid, it had some signs of wear and tear, and there were some areas of the neon lights that were not bright.

As usual, there were several strong men in black standing at the entrance of the casino, with chests and bellies sticking out, exuding a strong aura of the Force, and expressionlessly scanning the people coming in and out.

Qianye walked into the casino gate with the crowd, and was immediately greeted by a young girl, smiling and saying, "Can I help you?"

The girl is pretty and charming, but she is not as good as the receptionists at another big casino two streets away. This is also the difference between the two casinos, and the Zhao clan is behind the casino named Yanyue.

Qianye took out ten imperial gold coins, put them in the girl's hand, and said, "Exchange them for chips, and then take me to the place where we play Black Jack."

The girl showed a sweet smile, exchanged the chips in a moment, and then led Qianye up to the second floor and entered a medium-sized gambling hall. There are more than ten gamblers here, the environment is elegant and quiet, and several maids shuttle back and forth to serve the gamblers.

Ten gold coins just gave Qianye the qualifications to enter this gambling hall, and in exchange for the girl's sweet smile. However, if you want to exchange for her more charming appearance and ambiguous attitude, ten gold coins are not enough, you need at least twenty gold coins. And if you exchange enough chips for fifty gold coins, you can go up to the third floor and bring this girl into the room.

Qianye has no interest in these entertainments at all. He came here just to contact the recipient of the Rock Heart Jade Letter. He looked around and then walked towards a card table.

Blackjack is a card game that is simple and easy to learn.

Qianye sat down at the gambling table, asked for a hand of cards, and played a few random games, winning and losing. In the seventh game, he casually turned over his cards. This is a small action, inconspicuous. Many gamblers have their own little tricks, and the dealer just glances at them casually and stops paying attention.

In the blink of an eye, there were several more rounds of cards, and in the second round of seven, Qianye turned his hand over again, seemingly inadvertently. The dealer's eyes passed over Qianye again, and he continued to collect and deal cards as usual, taking in or pushing out chips.

In the third round of seven, Qianye played horizontally again and lost the round. By this time, most of the chips exchanged for ten gold coins had been lost. Qianye pushed the cards and stood up, seemingly annoyed. As soon as he left his seat, eager gamblers came to take his place.

Qianye walked around the casino and seemed to have no interest in other gambling games, so he walked out.

At this moment, a wisp of fragrance came, followed by a soft voice, very close to Qianye's ear, "We also have some special games, are you interested?"

Qianye had already felt someone approaching, and then he turned around and saw that the person speaking was a woman in black. Her appearance could only be considered delicate, but her skin was like snow. Especially at this moment, her head was slightly lowered, and a section of her neck and shoulders were exposed under her long hair, which even looked dazzling against the black clothes.

Qianye's heart moved and he said, "I only play black jack."

The young woman smiled seductively, and put her hand on Qianye's arm, but said in a low voice: "We have three pairs of black jacks."

This was the agreed code. Qianye nodded and said calmly: "Okay, take me to see it."

The woman in black led Qianye through another gambling hall and then stepped into a quiet corridor. She suddenly stopped and pressed her hand on the wall. A secret door appeared on the flat wall. The woman in black pulled Qianye in quickly. Behind the secret door was a spiral staircase. After going down to the next floor, she pushed open a secret door on a section of empty wall.

At this time, Qianye found himself standing in a dark alley behind the casino. There are no street lights in the alley, and there are high walls on both sides. Perhaps this is not a passage in the first place, but a gap between two huge buildings. At this time, the dark alley was quiet and dark, with only the light coming from the casino windows adding a bit of brightness to the place.

"Follow me." The woman in black gestured to Qianye and walked towards the end of the alley first.

Qianye followed her for about ten minutes, passing through narrow streets and dark alleys, getting more and more remote, and finally came to an old two-story building that looked abandoned for a long time.

All the windows in this old building are dilapidated, and few are intact. However, there should still be residents inside, and there is still a faint light coming from some windows. The door at the bottom of the building was ajar, and the metal door that should have been thick was covered with rust.

The woman in black took a step back, stood beside Qianye, and said softly: "The person you are looking for is inside, go in."

Qianye glanced over there. There was no light at all on the first floor, and nothing could be seen through the crack in the door. A faint red light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then he took a step and stood in front of the door.

He did not push the door open immediately, but turned around and asked: "Can I go in by myself?"
